The situation on the battlefield made Okamura Neji quite guessed.
The Independent Regiment prepares for battle at night... The Independent Regiment only prepares for battle and takes advantage of the darkness to sneak into the front of the enemy's position instead of fighting at night.
This was Li Yunlong's own decision, and Wang Xuexin did not interfere.
Zhao Gang was a little surprised when he heard Li Yunlong's battle plan. He asked: "Old Li, we have always liked to launch attacks at night, why this time..."
"Hey, Old Zhao, you don't understand this!" Li Yunlong interrupted Zhao Gang: "Usually we like to fight at night. That's because the equipment is not as good as the enemy's, and the enemies we fight are unfamiliar with the terrain and have better combat qualities than us.
.Look, who are we fighting now?"
After Li Yunlong said this, Zhao Gang figured it out.
It is indeed more suitable to fight at night when fighting the Japs. Not to mention other things, the Japs are good at marksmanship and have a lot of heavy equipment, such as light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers, etc. These things often make the Eighth Route Army breathless.
Come.
But at night, these advantages were basically gone, and we could only fight face to face with the Eighth Route Army with bayonets.
As the saying goes, this time, that time.
The main force currently being fought by the Eighth Route Army is the so-called "Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force" by the stubborn army.
The Third Route Army of the "Self-Defense Force" that the Independent Regiment is preparing to attack is relatively well equipped, but what we learned from the reconnaissance company is that this Third Route Army has all kinds of equipment: old sleeves, Mo.
Xinagan, San Ba Da Gai...all kinds of kinds, even shotguns and muskets.
Li Yunlong was not surprised by this reconnaissance result. He said: "What the hell are these 'self-defense forces'? They are actually bandits. What other good equipment can bandits have?"
Zhao Gang also asked strangely: "But Lao Li, this is wrong! Aren't the 'Self-Defense Forces' famous for relying on both sides? On one side they rely on the stubborn troops and on the other side they rely on the Japanese. They usually also ride on the heads of the people to dominate.
, how come it has developed to this point and is still in such a shabby state?"
Li Yunlong said with a "hehe" smile: "Old Zhao, you don't understand this! The 'Self-Defense Forces' are indeed dependent on both sides. They open their mouths and stretch out their hands when food comes, but they are willing to use the food they get from stubborn soldiers and Japanese soldiers."
Is it on the soldier?"
Zhao Gang couldn't help but nodded secretly "Oh". This is the virtue of bandit troops. They will take the funds provided by various sources of assistance into their own pockets and then falsely report their equipment. That's why we are in this situation today...the so-called "well-equipped"
There are many people in the Third Route Army of the Self-Defense Forces who don’t even have a decent rifle.
Do we need to fight at night to fight such an army?
The best thing is to charge them in the daytime, let them see clearly, scare them to death, and then fight all the way to the steel plant...
Then Li Yunlong added: "Besides, didn't we say that we have built a new secret airport with planes to cooperate? I still want to see a good show! If we are fighting at night, it will be nothing!"
Zhao Gang originally wanted to scold Li Yunlong: Why are you thinking about watching a show on such a serious issue of war?
But then I thought about it, Li Yunlong was talking rudely! He said clearly that he was "watching a show", but in fact he wanted to coordinate with the Second Air Force... If the attack was carried out at night, the battle would be nothing like the Air Force.
It's over.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gang nodded and agreed to Li Yunlong's attack plan.
At the same time, I felt quite relieved that Li Yunlong, a country bumpkin, seemed to have progressed with the growth of the Eighth Route Army.
However, Wang Xuexin was not as simple as Li Yunlong thought.
After Wang Xuexin saw the battle plan drawn up by Li Yunlong, he called Li Yunlong.
"I'm talking about Little Northeast!" Li Yunlong said: "It's not a problem to attack the 'Self-Defense Forces', but attacking the steel plants..."
"Don't worry, attacking the steel plant will not be a problem!" Li Yunlong interrupted Wang Xuexin: "I have conducted reconnaissance. There is only one squadron of less than 200 Japs in the steel plant, and there is also a battalion of puppet troops stationed! If it is
In the past, it might have been difficult for the Independent Group to attack this place, but now... Hehe, if you still think we can't defeat it, are you just looking through the cracks in the door and looking down on the Independent Group?"
"Captain, that's not what I meant!" Wang Xuexin explained: "I believe that the Independent Regiment can capture the steel plant and win in a short time!"
Wang Xuexin's words were not to compliment Li Yunlong, but to tell the truth.
Because today’s independent group is different from before.
The guns held by the current independent regiment are all Springfield type, or 38-type Gai... There are about three battalions in the whole regiment equipped with Springfield type, and two battalions are equipped with 38-type Gai.
The reason why we need to equip the 38-meter Gai is not because we cannot afford it, but because the enemy is the Japs, and the Japs use the 38-meter Gai.
If supplies are seized on the battlefield, such as rifles, ammunition, etc., they can all be piled up for the troops using the 38-meter cover to reduce logistical pressure.
In addition, there are light and heavy machine guns, 50 small artillery, directional mines, rocket launchers...
With this kind of equipment, coupled with the combat experience and training of the independent regiment, it is easy to defeat the "Self-Defense Forces" and defeat the steel factory where the Japanese are stationed...
Since the Japanese steel plant had no need for defense, it only built a dozen gun towers around it.
Artillery towers are used to deal with guerrillas without heavy equipment, and to deal with independent regiments equipped with rocket launchers...then we can only "haha".
But Wang Xuexin was not satisfied with Li Yunlong's frontal attack.
Wang Xuexin said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, the problem is that even if we can knock down the steel plant, we will still have to pay some casualties! In addition, if we attack on the outer defense line, the Japanese will immediately realize that our army's target is steel.
Factory. Wouldn’t the Japanese be prepared? If they knew that the steel factory couldn’t hold on, wouldn’t they have blown it up? Even if they didn’t blow up the whole thing, only the core components...we wouldn’t be able to use it again in the short term.
no?"
Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought of these things.
Zhao Gang listened to the phone call and took the order from the headquarters from the file and handed it to Li Yunlong, saying: "Xiao Dongbei is right, our goal is to capture the steel plant as completely as possible, and
Not taking over the steel plant!"
Li Yunlong stared and said, "What else can we do? The Japanese are in the steel factory. If they want to blow up, don't they just have to pull a fuse? Who can stop it?"
Wang Xuexin responded on the other end of the phone: "Captain, we can really stop it! Do you still remember the infiltration tactics that the Japanese often use when attacking us?"
"Infiltration warfare?" Li Yunlong frowned when he heard this: "This tactic is easy for the devils to use on us, but it is difficult for us to use it on the devils!"
