"This is what I think. The engineer battalions assigned to our two independent regiments will bury a certain amount of explosives at the entrance of the valley and connect detonating devices. As soon as all the Japanese troops enter the entrance of the valley, they will immediately detonate the explosives buried at the feet of the little Japanese.
I believe that if a small Japanese army strengthens its brigade, even if the whole army is not wiped out, it will lose most of it under the blast of a large amount of explosives. And with the explosion of explosives, when the small Japanese army has not yet reacted to the explosion, we
The two regiments immediately launched a charge, and they must use bayonet machine guns to eliminate the remaining Japs in Changgukou in the shortest possible time..." Lin Wei affirmatively expressed his thoughts in accordance with the tactics formulated by the commander.
"Old Lin, this commander's move is really poisonous. As long as we have enough explosives, maybe with one blast, we can wipe out the entire reinforced brigade of the Little Japs. I agree with your battle plan to completely wipe out the reinforced brigade of the Little Japs.
..." Yang Dezhi, leader of the Duer Regiment, stood up with excitement and said.
"Captain Lin, what about us?" After hearing Lin Wei's plan, the remaining two captains also nodded secretly, and were eager to know their missions...
"Don't be anxious yet, Commander Li. How much explosives do you have left in your engineering regiment? Now I want to see how much capital we have and how much pot we will prepare for the Japanese Second Infantry Regiment. Otherwise, when the time comes,
Not only will we not be able to complete the mission, we may also capsize in the gutter..." Lin Wei said with a smile, looking at the two regimental leaders with eager faces in front of him.
"Captain Lin, don't worry about this. Although our engineering regiment has used a lot of explosives in the Baita Mountain area, there are still a thousand kilograms of explosives left. In addition, if it is not enough, we can also use artillery shells.
Bury the artillery shells underground, and the power of the explosion will be no weaker than that of explosives..." As he spoke, Commander Li of the Engineering Corps looked at Zhou Zhiguo, the artillery regiment next to him...
"Well, Commander Lin, don't worry, I will be able to provide as many shells as Lao Li's engineer regiment needs. In order to better attack the little devils, I brought enough shells this time. On average, each gun
The artillery can reach about a hundred rounds, which is enough to make a good splurge..." Seeing the eyes of three people focused on him at the same time, the artillery regiment commander Zhou Zhigang quickly replied.
"Okay, in that case, let's prepare a big pot for the little devil's second infantry regiment. Not only must we give him a heavy blow, but if possible, we must cripple this infantry regiment as much as possible..."
After listening to the conversation between the two captains, Lin Wei was full of confidence in the battle he was about to face...
"Captain Lin, please assign the task..." The two captains' eyes showed a hint of sharpness at the same time, and they asked with excitement on their faces.
"The remaining two battalions of the Engineer Regiment used the remaining explosives and artillery shells in their hands to begin planting explosives about one kilometer away from Changgukou. Calculated based on the march length of an infantry regiment of the Japanese army. An infantry regiment of the Japanese army,
Coupled with various baggage and artillery, the entire march may be two kilometers long... Therefore, your engineering regiment must try its best to bury the two kilometers of road with explosives... When the time comes, the little devil will step into the buried
Detonate the area where the explosives are located immediately... Let the little devils have a good taste of what it's like to fly on a dirt plane..." Lin Wei ordered with excitement on his face.
"Commander Lin, don't worry. This time I will let the little devil make a good attempt at making a local aircraft..." Li Guohua, the commander of the engineering corps, accepted the order with a smile on his face. You know, since the establishment of his engineering corps, but
He has never directly gone to the battlefield to kill the Japs. But this time, his engineering regiment turned out to be the main force to eliminate the Japs, and it was an elite infantry regiment at once. Can this not make Li Guohua, the leader of the engineering regiment, happy?
"Captain Lin, what about my artillery regiment? How come you have wiped out all the Japanese vanguard and the 2nd Infantry Regiment? I didn't even hear about the mission of the artillery regiment..." I saw the three people around me.
The regiments all have their own tasks, and more importantly, the artillery shells of their own artillery regiment also contribute a lot to the engineering regiment around them. The regiment leader Zhou Zhigang couldn't help but become anxious...
"Old Zhou, I have another mission here. However, this mission is not mentioned in the commander's battle plan, and this mission is still dangerous... I don't know if you dare to take it. But, I can be sure.
I mean, as long as this mission can be successfully completed, our army will definitely be relieved of a lot of pressure in the ambush battle in the Baita Mountains in a few days." Looking at the eager-looking artillery regiment commander Zhou Zhigang in front of him, Lin Wei looked at him with a look on his face.
Said seriously.
"Captain Lin, just tell me what mission you have... Our artillery regiment's soldiers are not vegetarians. As long as they fight against the little devils, they will ensure that the mission is completed..." After listening to Lin Wei's words, Zhou Zhigang's fighting spirit couldn't help but be inspired.
Get up. He said excitedly to Lin Wei in front of him. It was as if Lin Wei would end up like Lin Wei if he didn't assign a task...
"Old Zhou, since you said so, let me tell you what I think. What I mean is that at the favorable opportunity when we launch an attack on the Japanese vanguard brigade, we use artillery to carry out long-range strikes.
Under cover, try to knock out the Japanese artillery regiment as much as possible, so that the Japanese artillery regiment will completely lose its combat effectiveness..." Under the gaze of the three people, Lin Wei expressed his thoughts.
"What, shelling the Japanese artillery regiment... Lao Lin, did I hear it correctly... The Japanese army we are facing is a division. If the artillery regiment is not transferred in time, it will be surrounded by heavy Japanese troops. That is not to let the artillery regiment
Are you going to die..." Just as Lin Wei finished speaking, Yang Dezhi, the leader of the Duer Regiment, opened his big mouth and said with an incredulous look on his face.
"Captain Lin, I also think that the decision to bombard the Japanese artillery regiment is very risky. You must know that all the equipment of the divisional artillery regiment are mountain artillery and field artillery, which is very difficult to transfer. According to my understanding, if you want to transfer
Such a large number of artillery will take at least dozens of minutes. And the little devils can send heavy troops to outflank the two wings of our artillery position after being bombarded again..." Captain Li Guohua of the Engineer Corps also stood up and said bluntly
Opposition to the suggestion just put forward by Lin Wei.
However, after listening to the answers of the two people, Lin Wei did not speak. Instead, he looked expectantly at Zhou Zhigang, the commander of the artillery regiment in front of him, who was already deep in thought. He hoped that Zhou Zhigang in front of him could give him a satisfactory answer.
After all, Zhou Zhigang is smarter and more proficient than everyone here when it comes to artillery command...
"Three regiment commanders, actually shelling the Japanese artillery regiment is not an impossible task. As long as the time is allocated properly, it is completely possible to complete the task and then retreat safely..." Just as the three people's eyes were focused on themselves
When he was on his body, Zhou Zhigang, commander of the artillery regiment, finally spoke.
"What? Commander Zhou, you have to think clearly. When the time comes, if you are not careful, your artillery regiment will be surrounded by Japanese troops. When the time comes..." After hearing Zhou Zhiguo's words, he was still stunned just now.
The two people were even more shocked at this moment. They both stared at Zhou Zhiguo in front of them like they were looking at monsters.
"Don't look at me like this. I have a basis for saying this." He looked at several people staring at him with curious eyes. Captain Zhou Zhigang felt uncomfortable all over and quickly explained.
"Okay... Captain Zhou, I want to listen carefully. What method do you have to successfully complete the mission and safely bring out so much heavy equipment from the Japanese army's heavy encirclement..."
After listening to Zhou Zhiguo's words, Yang Dezhi, the leader of the Duer Regiment, embarrassedly put away his curious eyes. At the same time, he pricked up his ears and looked thoughtfully at Zhou Zhigang in front of him.
"Three regiment commanders, this is what I think. In my artillery regiment, the closest range is the 75mm mountain cannon. And the effective range of this mountain cannon is 5,000 meters. As for the remaining 75mm field cannon, the range is enough to reach
An astonishing 7,000 meters away. Therefore, our artillery positions can be deployed a full ten miles away from the Japanese artillery regiment. By then, even the little Japanese will respond when we launch the artillery bombardment and use their fastest speed to
Given the marching speed, it will take at least half an hour to outflank our artillery positions..." Zhou Zhigang explained to the three regiment commanders in front of him, thinking about the familiar data he had memorized in his mind.
"But, Commander Zhou, after all, this is only half an hour. In half an hour, can your artillery regiment complete all the tasks of bombardment and safe retreat?" After hearing Zhou Zhigang's answer, Li Guohua, the commander of the engineering regiment, asked if
He nodded thoughtfully. However, in just a moment, he frowned and asked again. Because, in his eyes, half an hour is very short for an artilleryman.
.
"Half an hour is enough...According to the shooting speed of mountain artillery and field artillery, we only need ten minutes to pour at least 2,000 rounds of artillery shells into the marching column of the Japanese artillery regiment. In addition, because the military division
After a series of troop reorganizations, the current artillery regiment has basically been transformed into mules and horses... It only takes fifteen minutes. I can guarantee that all the artillery can be disassembled and placed on mules and horses for rapid transfer... plus
Above, the artillery regiment is also covered by an infantry battalion. An infantry battalion can completely delay the Japanese army for several minutes. Therefore, the remaining ten minutes are enough for our artillery regiment to move all into the mountains... By then, even a small
The Japanese have surrounded our artillery position, and there is nothing we can do about it!" Zhou Zhigang stated his plan with certainty.
"Okay... 2,000 rounds of artillery shells, as long as half of the shells can kill the enemy. A Japanese artillery regiment, under such a dense bombardment of artillery shells, will shed a layer of skin even if it does not die... If it can really be completed
With this combat goal, we not only successfully completed the tasks assigned by the commander, but also exceeded our quota to a certain extent..." After hearing Zhou Zhigang's answer, the regiment leader Lin Wei couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he replied with excitement on his face.
With the affirmative answer from Zhou Zhigang, the commander of the artillery regiment, Lin Wei's proposal was recognized by everyone without any surprise. In the following time, each regiment immediately began to march to their positions according to the pre-war arrangements. And
Two unsatisfied infantry regiments and an attached engineer battalion at Changgukou, under the command of Lin Wei, arranged tombs for the Japanese advance guard strengthening brigade...
More than 300 soldiers from the engineering battalion began to set up positions in the one-kilometer long Changgukou. They used 500 kilograms of explosives and hundreds of mortar shells in their hands. The 500 kilograms of explosives were divided into 100 by the soldiers.
, explosive packages weighing five kilograms. At the same time, an explosive package and a mortar shell were buried every ten meters on the road. As for these explosive packages, they were all connected in series with wires and connected to detonators.
As long as the little devil walks into this ambush circle and the detonator moves slightly, 500 kilograms of explosives and nearly a hundred rounds of artillery shells will all explode in just a few seconds. It is conceivable that more than a thousand little devils,
After this huge explosion, what will be left?
As for the remaining two battalions of the Engineer Regiment, they took two infantry battalions, 500 kilograms of explosives, and a thousand rounds of artillery shells provided by the Artillery Regiment. They quickly arrived at a place only one kilometer away from Changgukou and began to arrange their positions...
And the Japs they had to deal with were the more than 3,000 Japs left in the Japanese Second Infantry Regiment.
In order to destroy as much as possible the effective force of the Japanese army, the regiment leader Li Guohua knew that his only way was to maximize the power of the 500 kilograms of explosives and 1,000 rounds of artillery shells in his hands. And the most important point was to be reasonable.
Distribute the limited explosives and artillery shells in your hands.
According to the intelligence sent by the special agent company of the only regiment, after continuous attacks, at this moment, the Japanese Second Infantry Regiment has lost an entire infantry brigade. The strength of the entire infantry regiment has also been reduced sharply to more than 3,400 people. In addition to various
With baggage and artillery, the entire team marched for a distance of 2,000 meters...
"Captain, did you follow the information provided by the Special Agent Company of the One Regiment to lay a total of 2,000 meters of explosives on the highway..." Looking at the open road in front of him with almost no cover, the Second Battalion of the Engineer Regiment said
The commander approached the group leader Li Guohua and suggested.
"No, the distance of two thousand meters is too short. This is only the length of the Japanese army's march during ordinary march. In the afternoon, in order to reinforce the vanguard and strengthen the brigade in the shortest time, the Japanese army will definitely speed up the marching speed of the troops. According to
There is only a small difference in the marching speed of the infantry and artillery. By the time the little devils arrive here, their marching column will be dragged several hundred meters away. Therefore, the length of the explosives buried is set at 2,500 meters." Regiment leader Li Guohuajing
After thinking quietly for a few seconds, he said with certainty.
"Yes, commander..." the two battalion commanders replied at the same time.
"Well, we have a total of 500 kilograms of explosives. We ordered the soldiers to make one explosive package for every two kilograms of explosives. At the same time, the distance between each explosive package is ten meters. However, in order to better utilize these explosives
With the power of the bombs, we must also use the thousand rounds of artillery shells provided to us by the artillery regiment. When the soldiers are burying the explosive bags, four shells with the safety removed must be placed above each explosive bag..."
Looking at the two battalion commanders in front of him, regimental commander Zhou Zhiguo continued to issue orders to the two people.
"Captain, don't worry. This time, we will rely on the strength of the Engineer Corps to let the Japanese Second Infantry Regiment have a good taste of what it's like to fly in a land-based aircraft... At the same time, we will let the soldiers know that our Engineer Corps
Not only can he build bridges and build roads, he can also kill Japanese soldiers..." the second battalion commander replied with confidence.
"Okay, that's good. We just want the soldiers to know that we engineers can also kill Japanese soldiers with the tools in our hands, and we are no worse than infantrymen..." Captain Li Guohua also had a face full of excitement.
And just when the two engineering battalions began to arrange under the command of the regiment commander, the artillery regiment commander Zhou Zhiguo had already brought the regiment's 36 artillery pieces to a position he had already selected. As for this
The carefully selected artillery position was about 4 kilometers away from the road, which fully met his requirements. What made Zhou Zhiguo most satisfied was that less than one kilometer behind this position was a large mountain. And his artillery
The regiment was fully capable of moving into the mountains in about twenty minutes after the bombardment of the Japanese artillery regiment ended...
And while the four regiments were busy on their own positions, the Japanese 14th Division had rested for most of the night and had a hearty breakfast. Almost every little soldier had high morale.
Full of confidence in their future, more than 20,000 little Japs finally started their new day's journey under the orders of the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara.
Similarly, in order to prevent the possible appearance of a small blocking force from the Eighth Route Army... a reinforced brigade of more than 1,400 little Japanese soldiers, under the command of the division commander, was the first to walk out of the camp last night... and then only the remaining
The Second Infantry Regiment of more than 3,400 people... Next came the main force of the division... It took more than an hour for the entire division, more than 20,000 troops, to walk out of the camp in a mighty manner and start their own journey.
journey…
"Chief of Staff, our current marching method is still the same as the one that allowed the Eighth Route Army to find no flaws yesterday. Do you think our army's attack today will go smoothly..." Looking at the high-morale Imperial Army soldiers on both sides of the car
.The bored division commander asked with a smile to the chief of staff beside him.
