Next, the chief made arrangements according to Wang Xuexin's suggestion.
The chief of staff is responsible for publicity.
This will take a certain amount of time, because intelligence personnel and patriots across the country must be contacted to prepare, and after receiving the news, a public opinion offensive can be launched at the same time to achieve better results.
Therefore, we need to contact each other layer by city.
The chief is responsible for combat issues.
The first step he took was to disperse normal college students like Xie Baolin to various units to conduct comprehensive teaching and training for the army.
The chief believes that nothing is more important at this time than standardizing combat formations and tactics, especially before a big war comes.
After the meeting, Li Yunlong complained softly: "I thought I could earn a battalion, but I didn't expect that the cooked duck would just fly away!"
Then he pretended to be a creditor and said to Wang Xuexin coaxingly: "Xiao Dongbei, this is your idea. It was said that you would go out with a company and come back with a battalion... You can figure it out by yourself. You haven't come back.
A battalion, don’t fucking come back!”
"Captain! You can't blame me for this..."
"Don't talk about these nonsense!" Li Yunlong interrupted Wang Xuexin: "You said it, so you have to bring it back to me. I don't care about the others!"
Wang Xuexin:……
If you don’t dare ask the chief, just take it out on others!
When the monk left, he asked a lot: "Captain, others are robbing Xiao Dongbei, why don't you let him return to the army? What if he really doesn't come back?"
Li Yunlong said "fuck": "How dare he! He is a soldier of the Independent Regiment anyway. If his elbow can't be turned back, I will never finish with him!"
Then the monk understood that Li Yunlong was the king of hell who opened a casino and both the winners and losers were ghosts.
After seeing off Li Yunlong, Wang Xuexin returned to his dormitory.
The dormitory was the comfortable hut that Zhang Wanhe had arranged in the village before. Because Wang Xuexin would come back to stay from time to time, he kept it.
After lying on the warm kang, Wang Xuexin began to worry.
Of course what he was thinking about was not the issue of a battalion as Li Yunlong mentioned.
It’s just a camp, what a big deal!
With Wang Xuexin's current reputation, all he had to do was shout that the Seventh Company was short of soldiers, and wouldn't the new recruits be crowding in here one by one?
This bragging made even Wang Xuexin blush a little.
But this is really a trivial matter.
What troubled Wang Xuexin at this time was how to fight a good fight.
Fighting a good fight can occupy the commanding heights of public opinion.
By occupying the commanding heights of public opinion, the masses can be mobilized to force the recalcitrant army to fail to sign the agreement.
If Stubborn Jun cannot sign the understanding, Yingjiang's so-called mediation will go bankrupt.
So the embargo continued, and the Japanese still had only one way...to attack Pearl Harbor.
To sum up, Wang Xuexin wanted to use this to flap the butterfly's wings and pull the Japanese back to the "right path".
However, fighting a good fight is not that easy.
As the chief said: "This battle may not be big, but it must be fought well! It is best to win the battle cleanly with a large casualty ratio and a large advantage, so as to achieve better publicity effects!"
The chief is right.
The purpose of this battle was propaganda, and the targets of propaganda were the vast majority of the people who knew nothing about war.
As the saying goes, "Experts watch the door and laymen watch the excitement", the common people do not pay attention to the comprehensive comparison of the enemy's and our forces, nor do they look at the overall situation, nor do they understand strategies and tactics.
Their focus is very simple, that is, whether the casualties between the enemy and ourselves are more or less than before and whether the land occupied is more or less.
Therefore, a small to medium-sized victory with a large casualty ratio can actually have a better publicity effect.
Because the people will take it for granted: "If other battles can be fought like this and have such a casualty ratio, then won't it be just around the corner to drive the Japanese out of our country?"
But the chief of staff poured cold water on everyone at this moment: "Since the last time our army broke through the blockade and carried out a major traffic attack, the Japanese have increased the strength and firepower of the blockade and changed their tactics. They have divided the regular divisions
The regiment and artillery units are deployed behind the blockade. Once a certain artillery building is attacked, they will immediately receive reinforcements from infantry and artillery! It is not easy to win a battle with a large casualty ratio..."
Wang Xuexin also heard about this.
This was mainly because the Japanese found that the artillery towers on the blockade were becoming increasingly useless.
Previously, a gun tower was placed like a stronghold, and the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army could not move.
But now, the Eighth Route Army has both ghost cannons and rocket launchers, and the gun towers have become a "coffin"-like existence.
The number of ghost cannons is still relatively small, with an average of only one being produced every month or two.
But there are more rocket launchers, and each regiment of troops distributed on the front line has more than a dozen of them.
Then in the dark night, the rocket launcher shooter quietly approached the turret, and with a "chirp" sound, he used the rocket to knock a hole in the turret, and other soldiers threw grenades into the hole one after another.
The Japanese and puppet troops hiding in the gun towers had no choice at all.
Strengthen your vigilance. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. There is no way to prevent the enemy from approaching the gun tower.
Go out and fight... you will soon become the enemy's target.
The turrets are used to protect the Japanese. If the turrets become objects of protection that require the Japanese to sacrifice their lives, then there is no point in their existence.
The enemy's countermeasure was to drastically reduce the number of soldiers in the artillery towers, with only a dozen puppet troops assigned to each artillery tower.
The main force of the Japanese was placed behind the gun towers and the artillery was strengthened.
This tactic really works.
The front of the artillery tower actually became a warning point. Once the Eighth Route Army opened fire, its position was exposed... When the rocket launcher was fired, there was a long trail, and the shooter's position could be clearly identified even in the dark.
And because the rocket launcher has a short range, it is often close to the gun tower when it is launched.
The Japanese behind the artillery tower immediately contacted the artillery by phone and guided the artillery to bomb the target location. Those who were closer could also use grenades and mortars to return fire.
This resulted in the Eighth Route Army's war along the blockade making no progress.
Although the rocket launcher is a powerful weapon against turrets, it also has the disadvantages of insufficient range and poor accuracy. It can easily be suppressed by enemy long-range artillery or even grenade launchers.
Under such circumstances, how could we win a victory worthy of propaganda against the Japanese whose quality was higher than that of the Eighth Route Army?
After a heated discussion, the meeting finally came to no conclusion, so Wang Xuexin could only take this issue with him.
Not enough range?
Suppress enemy artillery?
Does it need to be stunning enough to attract attention?
Then Wang Xuexin thought of a solution.
As soon as he got up from the bed, he decided to talk to Zhang Wanhe.
