Wang Xuexin did not interfere in the specific attack on Siping. He just assigned the task to the reconnaissance brigade: Siping must be occupied and held at eight o'clock tomorrow morning until the main force arrives!
Let the monk arrange other things by himself.
This is not to say that Wang Xuexin is at ease with the monk. Although this guy is very skilled, he has nerves bigger than a bear, and he is also a bit naive and can't turn his head. It is indeed a bit uncomfortable to hand such an important task to him.
rest assured.
But as Wang Xuexin was a regiment leader who coordinated the overall situation, it was inconvenient for him to intervene too much at the tactical level, so he didn't interfere too much.
Later, Wang Xuexin realized that his worries were unnecessary. The monk at this time was already somewhat different from the previous monk.
In the past, the word "plan" did not exist in the monk's bald head. Whenever a task was given to him, he would just use one word: "fight"!
Now after receiving the mission, he stared at the map for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Shi Sha couldn't help but ask: "Captain, do you have a plan?"
The monk asked back: "What do you think?"
"I see..." Shi Sha came up and pointed at the map and said: "The two squadrons of the Japanese are easy to deal with in the barracks. A helicopter can go up and hit them with a few rockets, but the Japanese military police brigade and the puppet army are more troublesome.
They are all scattered here and there throughout the city, and if we want to occupy it, we have to fight in the streets room by room!"
Then Shi Sha frowned and said, "It would be fine if the Japanese and puppet troops don't resist strongly, but if they see that we only have so few people and their reinforcements will arrive soon, and they fight harder, we will be in trouble."
!”
Shi Sha’s analysis is reasonable and well-founded.
The reconnaissance brigade has grown to more than 400 people now. Although they are all elites, the total strength is still far from the enemy: more than 300 regular soldiers from the two Japanese squadrons plus more than 300 gendarmerie brigade, plus a puppet
There are more than 400 people in the military camp, and there are more than 1,000 people at random.
If these more than a thousand people gathered together to fight against the reconnaissance brigade, the reconnaissance brigade would not be worried at all. They could use the aerial firepower of helicopters to eliminate the enemy in a short time.
The problem is that we are attacking a city now, and the gendarmerie brigade and the puppet army are still scattered... The main tasks of the gendarmerie brigade and the puppet army are to maintain public order and patrol. Simply put, they are to control the people and allow Siping to "operate normally".
The so-called "normal operation" is to allow the people to continue to provide supplies to the Japanese.
This task requires the military police brigade and puppet troops to be dispersed.
If they are dispersed, it will be difficult to fight, and it can even be said that it is impossible to eliminate them in a short time.
But if the enemies in the city have not been cleared yet and Japanese reinforcements arrive, how will we fight then?
Wouldn't that mean we were attacked by the Japanese from inside and outside?
The monk smiled "hehe" and said, "I thought so too, we thought of it together!"
Shi Sha looked at the monk with surprise. He didn't believe that the monk could think of this.
Seeing Shi Sha's eyes looking a little strange, the monk raised his chin and asked, "What's wrong? You don't believe it, do you?"
"No, no, no, how can I not believe it?" Shi Sha hurriedly laughed along with him.
If you don't believe this, you will get punched if you offend the captain... The captain is good at everything, but he likes to "reason" with his fists, which Shi Sha can't stand.
But who is Shi Sha? He immediately said: "Captain, if you have thought of this, you should have a solution, right?"
The monk touched his head and replied: "That's what I thought. If we use the old method of fighting and rappelling at the same time, it will definitely not work!"
"What other ways can we fight?" Shi Sha looked at the monk in confusion.
"We can rappel outside the city!" The monk pointed to the map and replied: "Look at the large cornfield outside the city, it just provides cover for our rappel..."
At this point, Shi Sha was confused. He could descend into the city but instead of doing so, he had to descend outside the city to face the enemy's defense line?
"Captain!" Shi Sha objected: "This way the Japanese will be prepared, and we won't have a sudden battle!"
"What I want is that the Japanese are prepared!" The monk replied: "Think about it, if the Japanese have some time to prepare and know that we are about to attack the city, what will they do?"
Shi Sha was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "The Japanese... will gather the military police and puppet troops together!"
"That's right!" the monk said: "The city wall is so long that two Japanese squadrons will definitely not be able to defend it. We must gather the military police and puppet troops. Isn't this what we want? The Japanese can guard the city wall and defend the defense line.
What’s the point? What’s the point of having a little time to prepare? Once our helicopters arrive and our reconnaissance team... it’s just a matter of eating a meal if we want to defeat it!”
At this point, Shi Sha has nothing to say. Monk's plan is really feasible. The military police and puppet troops are scattered, so give them some time to concentrate. When they are concentrated, it will be much easier to fight, and they may be able to attack before the Japanese reinforcements arrive.
Cleared them out before.
"It's done, captain!" Shi Sha sighed: "It took a while!"
The monk felt a little overwhelmed by Shi Sha's praise, but he was happy in his heart but pretended to be disapproving, saying: "Alas! What does this mean? I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs walking, right? It's trivial.
!”
Later, the reconnaissance brigade did fight like this, but they used an improved version.
The improved version of the plan was to partially rappel outside the city and quickly advance towards the wall guarded by the Japanese to attract the Japanese to concentrate their forces on the attacking part.
Then, another group took a helicopter and rappelled from the rear to surround the Japanese.
The devil has never seen this kind of fighting style before.
Helicopters were flying in the sky, and rockets were exploding downwards, while bullets from heavy machine guns were pouring down from high above.
On the ground, the Eighth Route Army armed with repeating rifles launched a fierce attack.
The combat effectiveness of the more than 400 scouts of the reconnaissance brigade is much greater than that of the Japanese's motley army of more than 1,000 cobbled together.
This is especially true for the puppet army. Due to the closed information situation, their impression of the Eighth Route Army is still that of millet and rifle.
Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army that suddenly appeared in front of them was armed with helicopters. They had never even seen a helicopter and didn't know what it was. They found that there was actually a kind of aircraft that could hover in mid-air and fire at them... This he
Aren’t you a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general? Why don’t you play ball!
Therefore, when the helicopter fired the first batch of rockets at the Japanese defense line, the puppet army had already decided to surrender.
The battle after that became easy. It can be said that the Japanese army collapsed under the siege of the Eighth Route Army and the puppet army. The whole battle only took seventeen minutes.
Wang Xuexin was not very happy: "This monk, does he have any sense of time! If you let me occupy it at eight o'clock, you will give me forty minutes ahead of time!"
