Sun Ming hesitated for a moment and then said: "Captain Li, although this idea is very good, as far as I know, the Japanese airport is usually heavily guarded, and the terrain around Beixiang Village is flat and there is no place to take cover. I'm afraid our army will be very vulnerable."
It’s hard to pose a threat to it!”
"Adjutant Sun is right!" Zhao Gang pointed to the map and said: "We have probably reconnoitred the Xiabei Xiang Airport. There are many checkpoints and trenches along the way. We can't attack by force, we can only outwit it!"
Li Yunlong raised his chin and said: "That's why I want to give this task to your reconnaissance company! As for whether the security is tight... Adjutant Sun, the Japanese often disguise themselves as our fellow villagers and sneak into my base area, so we are here too today.
Like this! If you pretend to be an enemy and sneak in, then when the Japanese plane is parked there, it can only be solved with a few grenades?"
Li Yunlong said it in an understatement, but everyone sitting here knew that this was not an easy task.
Sun Ming said thoughtfully: "Disguise, we can only pretend to be puppet troops, right?"
This was quickly recognized by everyone.
It was impossible to pretend to be a Jaap. Although Wang Xuexin could speak Japs, no one else could. Any Japs on the road would reveal the truth if they asked questions.
Then Sun Ming raised a new question: "But if you pretend to be a puppet army, firstly, it is a firearms issue. Although the puppet army also has Jin-made submachine guns, they do not have such neat equipment. Secondly, it is an identity issue... The focus of the Japanese Airport...
, I’m afraid the puppet troops can’t get close easily, so what excuse should we find to enter the airport? If we can’t even enter the airport, how can we conduct a sneak attack?”
Sun Ming's analysis is reasonable and reasonable.
The puppet army's submachine guns were seized from the Jin army, and there were also tens of thousands of Jin-made submachine guns in stock when they occupied the Taiyuan Arsenal.
However, the machinery and equipment seized by the Japanese did not continue to produce this kind of gun, and only a small amount of ammunition was produced to supply the puppet army.
The reason is that the Japs have insufficient resources. They want to use copper, iron and other materials as much as possible to produce the firearms and ammunition they need, instead of wasting these precious resources on puppet troops who are not strong in combat effectiveness and may even rebel at any time.
Therefore, the puppet army is not equipped with many Jin-made submachine guns. Only the surrendered troops of the former Jin army still retain the tradition of squad leader equipment.
Now, except for the sharpshooters, everyone in the reconnaissance company has a Jin-made submachine gun. This doesn't look right.
Li Yunlong seemed to have thought about this a long time ago, and he said: "Adjutant Sun can rest assured about this. We can pretend to be a logistics force delivering ammunition, put the submachine gun in the wooden box, and hold something like Hanyang-made
Who can see this thing?"
Sun Ming nodded in approval: "Good idea."
After a pause, Sun Ming asked again: "Then, how should we approach the airport?"
This puts Li Yunlong in trouble.
Because the Japanese do not trust the puppet army, both in terms of combat and loyalty.
Therefore, an important core location like the airport does not allow the puppet troops to approach, and the puppet troops can at best act as cannon fodder on the periphery.
This also means that the scouts disguised as puppet troops can only reach the level of puppet troops at most.
The monk raised his head and said, "Why are you thinking so much? We'll just act according to the opportunity when the time comes. If it doesn't work, we'll just fight in. I don't believe it's still an iron wall!"
"Comrade Wei Dayong!" Zhao Gang reminded: "We only have one company. The Japanese protect an airport with at least one brigade. There are puppet troops everywhere. How can we break in? We are a reconnaissance company and we cannot use brute force like this.
!”
Li Yunlong glared at the monk: "I mean, monk, the political commissar is right. This is a job that uses your brain. Don't just think about fighting all day long. If you can't do it, find someone else to be your company commander!"
"Who said I can't do it?" The monk quickly replied: "Isn't it true that others can't think of a way? What else can I do if I don't fight?"
Everyone could only smile bitterly.
It is indeed as the monk said, there is really no way to sneak into the airport.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yunlong suggested: "How about we pretend to be puppet soldiers first, and then try to pretend to be Japanese soldiers? We can sneak in as many as we can!"
Sun Ming shook his head and said: "This is too risky. It can easily be seen through by the enemy, and the damage caused to the airport is extremely limited."
Zhao Gang thought for a while and then suggested: "The Japanese airport is still undergoing repairs. If we disguise ourselves as laborers, we should be able to sneak into the airport!"
But this idea was rejected by Sun Ming.
"You can't bring weapons if you disguise yourself as a laborer!" Sun Ming said: "It's hard to cause much damage with bare hands!"
Wang Xuexin, who had been silent until now, asked: "Political Commissar, how far is the puppet defense line from the Japanese defense line?"
"About three kilometers!" Zhao Gang replied.
Three kilometers is the commonly used defense interval for the Japanese because the longest range of their 92 infantry is 2.7 kilometers.
If the puppet army cannot prevent the enemy's charge, it will be time for the Japanese infantry artillery to come into play.
Wang Xuexin asked again: "The strength of the puppet army..."
"The specific strength of the troops is not clear yet!" Zhao Gang replied: "The reason is that the puppet army mobilizes frequently. There is at least one regiment at present, and it is still increasing!"
"A regiment of puppet troops..." Wang Xuexin said: "Regiment leader, political commissar, can we engage in an infiltration war?"
"Infiltration battle?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but gasped when he heard this: "You mean, a melee like the devils?"
The Independent Group had experienced the power of Japanese infiltration warfare before, so Li Yunlong certainly knew what was going on.
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin replied: "We can mix with the puppet army and fight an infiltration war, with the goal of confusing the puppet army. This seems not difficult to do!"
No one had any objection to this. Even when the puppet troops fought head-on, they were in chaos, not to mention that there were still people among them.
Wang Xuexin continued: "As long as the puppet troops are in chaos, they will retreat as soon as possible."
Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded: "This is a good idea! As soon as the puppet troops retreat, they will attack the Japanese defense line, and then we can sneak into the airport by taking advantage of the chaos!"
Sun Ming frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. At a critical moment, the Japanese will kill the puppet soldiers!"
"I agree with Comrade Sun Ming!" Zhao Gang agreed: "The Japanese do not care about the life and death of the puppet troops. In order to protect the airport, they will probably use bullets and artillery shells to stop the puppet troops! By then, we will still be unable to approach the airport!
"
There is no dispute about this. The puppet troops are originally cannon fodder and will be sacrificed by the devils at any time.
Li Yunlong felt that it made sense, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
But Wang Xuexin also thought of this, and he added: "At this time, what if the Japanese are bombed again?"
"Bombing?" Li Yunlong looked at Wang Xuexin doubtfully, and then suddenly realized: "You mean...bazooka?"
