Chapter 261: Don't Believe That You Can't Kill Dog Day
Chapter 261 I don’t believe you can’t be killed by bombing
Jingxing County, Baoshan Division temporary headquarters.
After Yue Weihan and Liu Yi carefully surveyed the Shitai Highway from Niangziguan to Jingxing County, they finally returned to Jingxing County at night. At this time, the Baoshan Division also set up a temporary headquarters, three infantry brigades, and a cavalry regiment in Jingxing County.
, artillery regiment, and special agent regiment also stationed in villages and towns around Jingxing County this morning to intensify training.
In the headquarters, Yue Weihan and Liu Yi were studying the battle plan on the map.
"Chief of Staff, look." Yue Weihan smoothed the map and said to Liu Yi, "This is Niangzi Pass and this is Phoenix Ridge."
After saying this, Yue Weihan added: "The Japanese 20th Division is a large force. Unless the division commander Kawagishi Bunzaburo is a military idiot, it is impossible for such a large force to march in a group. No accident.
If so, Bunzaburo Kawagishi will definitely send an infantry brigade forward to clear the way."
"That's for sure." Liu Yi nodded and added, "And this infantry brigade will also send at least one infantry brigade as a forward to lure the ambush and clear obstacles on the march."
"Yes." Yue Weihan nodded and continued, "My idea is to let go of the most advanced Japanese infantry brigade and ambush the main force of the Japanese forward brigade near Fenghuang Ridge. The terrain here is very favorable, and more than two thousand large-caliber grenades can be fired.
, plus hundreds of roadside bombs, enough to severely damage the Japs’ forward brigade.”
"Roadside bomb?" Liu Yi asked in shock, "What is it?"
"Uh..." Yue Weihan said with shame, "It's the diesel barrel bomb made by Datang."
As a time traveler, Yue Weihan was of course aware of the huge power of roadside bombs, which were used by backward armed forces to deal with advanced armed forces. Even the American soldiers who were armed to the teeth were severely damaged by the roadside bombs of the Iraqi Resistance Army. In this era,
How could the Japs detect roadside bombs if they only had the most primitive engineers?
"Diesel barrel bomb?" Liu Yi said solemnly, "That's enough for a little devil to drink a pot."
Yue Weihan added: "There is also Niangzi Pass. Tonight, we will send people to dig several hiding holes near Niangzi Pass and hide the special operations brigade and the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion in them. When a bomb goes off at Fenghuang Ridge, the special forces will be killed."
The War Brigade and the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment immediately fought out of the hiding cave, quickly seized Niangzi Pass, and relied on the favorable terrain to intercept the main force of the 20th Division."
The 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion are not ordinary troops, but the "1st Battalion of the Communist Party of China" named personally by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
During the Xuzhou Defense Battle at Sanlipu, Li Qing's death camp killed the Japanese 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade in one fell swoop with a suicidal attack. Although only Li Qinglong and Liao Liao were left dead in the end, they were not alone.
It became famous in the first battle and was named the "1st Battalion" by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek himself, becoming a heroic unit as famous as the "Baoshan Battalion".
After the Baoshan Brigade was expanded into the Baoshan Division, Li Qinglong's "*** 1st Battalion" was expanded into the 1st Brigade, 1st Regiment. Li Qinglong was promoted from lieutenant colonel and battalion commander to colonel commander, and was given the title of "*** 1st Battalion"
It was put on the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion. Whether the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion deserved this title would depend on their performance in this battle.
Liu Yi nodded and said: "After the Japanese forward brigade passes, the troops left behind at Niangzi Pass should not exceed one squadron. With the combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade, it should not be a problem to quickly seize Niangzi Pass. After seizing Niangzi Pass, only 1 regiment and 1 battalion will be needed."
If we can hold on for more than four hours, we are still confident of destroying the Japanese forward brigade."
"It won't take four hours!" Yue Weihan said, "Two hours at most is enough."
After saying this, Yue Weihan said again: "With the elimination of the forward brigade, the Japanese 20th Division has also lost half of its combat effectiveness. With the current strength and equipment of our Baoshan Division, we are absolutely sure to defeat them even in a frontal attack."
!Of course, you can never attack during the day, and the decisive battle can only be at night."
"Yeah." Liu Yi agreed deeply, "The 20th Division can only fight two infantry brigades with 10,000 people. The remaining 20,000 people are either logistics troops or supplementary troops, which is simply unbearable.
One blow! What's more, there are six main regiments of the Eighth Route Army nearby to cooperate with us in the battle, so it will be difficult to lose this battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Tiezhu, the captain of the special operations brigade, suddenly strode in.
"Pillar?" Yue Weihan asked quickly, "How is the situation over there with the Eighth Route Army?"
"The situation is not optimistic." Liu Tiezhu shook his head and said solemnly, "In order not to cause misunderstandings with the Eighth Route Army, we did not dare to get too close. However, according to my observation, the Eighth Route Army fought very hard, and the battle for the Woniu Mountain Highlands was particularly fierce.
The Eighth Route Army sent two battalions to hold their positions, but all of them were killed!"
Liu Yi said solemnly: "Two battalions were killed on one high ground?"
Yue Weihan asked: "How big is the scale of the little devil's attack?"
"At least one infantry brigade," Liu Tiezhu said, "as well as artillery and aircraft to assist in the battle."
After saying this, Liu Tiezhu added: "Oh, by the way, the Eighth Route Army's bullets are seriously insufficient. They often rush out of the trenches with bayonets after firing two rows of guns to fight with the little Japanese, so the casualties are very high."
Yue Weihan was shocked to realize that the Eighth Route Army had never had enough ammunition. He turned back to Liu Yi and said: "Chief of Staff, ask Meng Bozhao (the head of the baggage regiment) to immediately prepare 100,000 rifle bullets, 20,000 machine gun bullets and 5,000 bullets for the Eighth Route Army."
Melon grenades, and send a truck squadron to deliver them overnight, be quick!"
"Yes." Liu Yi stood at attention and immediately took the order.
Liu Tiezhu immediately asked Yue Weihan: "Military seat, do you want to conduct night reconnaissance tonight?"
"No need." Yue Weihan shook his head and said, "You can go down and rest first. There are other combat missions tomorrow."
"Yes." Liu Tiezhu also accepted the order.
At the foothills of Taihang Mountain, the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
Commander Liu and Deputy Commander Xu were worried about each other.
In just one day, the troops suffered casualties of two and a half battalions, and Madman Wang's *** regiment was considered disabled.
The order from the headquarters is to stop the Japanese army at all costs, so no matter how serious the injury is, the battle must continue.
What makes Commander Liu and Deputy Commander Xu sad is that the troops have too little ammunition. If the supply of ammunition could be opened up, the casualties of the troops would never be so large!
When Commander Liu and Deputy Commander Xu were worrying, Political Commissar Zhang suddenly walked in in a hurry.
"Old Liu, Old Xu!" Political Commissar Zhang waved and said hurriedly, "Baoshan Division just sent a telegram, saying that it has prepared 100,000 rounds of rifle bullets, 20,000 rounds of machine gun bullets and 5,000 melon grenades.
A convoy has been sent to deliver it, let us send people to receive the supplies near Niangziguan."
"That's great." Deputy Commander Xu said, "This is really timely."
Commander Liu immediately said to Political Commissar Zhang: "Old Zhang, please call the 386th Brigade immediately and ask Chen Geng to send someone to pick up the supplies."
"Okay, I'll make a call right away. Now that boy Chen Geng doesn't have to resort to empty city tactics anymore, haha." Political Commissar Zhang agreed and hurried away.
Jingxing County, Baoshan Division Headquarters.
Yue Weihan had stayed up for several nights and fell asleep on the table just before dawn.
However, Yue Weihan slept for more than ten hours this time. The Eighth Route Army was even more powerful after receiving the ammunition assistance from Baoshan Division. The Japanese army continued to attack for a whole day before advancing ten miles.
Liu Yi did not let anyone wake up Yue Weihan.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that Yue Weihan was awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps. When he opened his sleepy eyes, he saw that Tang Dashan was here. This kid hadn't slept soundly for several days.
My chest was severely congested, and it looked scary, but my mental state was very good, and I looked like I couldn't get enough sex.
"Military seat." Tang Dashan suddenly stood up and saluted Yue Weihan with a standard military salute.
Before Yue Weihan could return the favor, he asked eagerly: "Datang, how many bombs have you made?"
"Two hundred and nine!" Tang Dashan grinned and said solemnly, "That's enough for the little devil to eat."
"Two and nine?" Yue Weihan immediately took out the map and picked up the ruler to measure it. The road under Fenghuangling was relatively flat and the road surface was relatively wide. The average width was more than fifteen meters. The Japanese army should have adopted six measures.
When the Eighth Route Column marches, the length of the Japanese forward brigade will never exceed two kilometers.
Two hundred and nine roadside bombs, if one is buried every 100 meters, it will be exactly over two kilometers!
Although the roadside bomb made by Tang Dashan is simple, its killing radius is definitely more than fifty meters!
Two hundred giant bombs exploded at the same time. At the same time, two thousand large-caliber grenades were also fired at the same time and exploded in the Japanese marching column. After such an intense explosion, the Japanese forward brigade still had less than half of its combat effectiveness.
Not bad! If the three main brigades of the Baoshan Division take advantage of the situation and crush them, the Japs' forward brigade will not be able to last for two hours at all!
While Yue Weihan was silently calculating in his mind, Tang Dashan suddenly said: "Military seat, those more than two thousand large-caliber grenades are too dangerous to fire directly. I think it is better to make them into landmines."
"Landmines?" Yue Weihan said horrified, "All made into landmines?"
Tang Dashan nodded and said ferociously: "Put a dozen large-caliber grenades in a nest, connect two wires, and then connect the detonator. When the time comes, just press it so lightly, and the power will definitely not be much less than that of an oil barrel bomb.
!If you want to save trouble, you can also connect dozens or even hundreds of 'mines' to one detonator."
"Great." Yue Weihan said happily, "Datang, how do you know this?"
Tang Dashan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I really don't know this. The dog translator named Pi Shecheng told me. I didn't believe it at first, but I couldn't resist the grandson so I followed him.
I tried this method, and hey, it works really well. It’s simple and can detonate from a long distance. It’s amazing!”
"Pi Xiaocheng?" Yue Weihan said happily, "I didn't expect him to be a bomb expert!"
At that moment, Tang Dashan said: "Military, do you want to convert those artillery shells into mines?"
"Change, of course!" Yue Weihan said, "But you don't need to change everything, just fifty nests will be enough."
Fifty nests means 500 large-caliber grenades, plus 209 roadside bombs, I don’t believe it can’t kill the dog!
