Six hundred and ninetieth eight chapters mad devil
At one o'clock in the morning, all the military officers above the company level of the New Regiment gathered in a small house in Tutu Temple.
The commander of the fourth battalion, Rong Rongjun, and several of his company commanders appeared at this kind of military meeting for the first time, with excitement on their faces.
"Commander, it's time to start. Except for the Second Battalion, everyone else is here!" Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong was the first to speak.
"Let's start!" Wang Ping answered directly.
"Everyone should know the purpose of our meeting. The first brigade of the Japanese infantry is stationed on the high ground less than three kilometers away from us. Now, their third brigade has been killed by us. As long as we kill their first brigade again,
Brigade. The Japanese in Linfen City will not dare to send troops to attack us because of insufficient troops, and we will have at least two months to develop!"
"Chief of Staff, please introduce to everyone the intelligence just sent back by the reconnaissance platoon!"
Zhong Chenggong picked up a list and began to introduce: "According to the investigation, the Japanese First Infantry Brigade is a standard reinforced brigade!"
"They were stationed on the blockade outside the mountain a few days ago. In order to trap us in the mountain, the Japs from Linfen City strengthened them with a lot of light and heavy equipment!"
"After a day's battle of the four battalions, there are still more than 900 people left in the Japanese First Infantry Brigade, four infantry squadrons, and a heavy machine gun squadron. In addition, each infantry squadron has also been strengthened with a heavy machine gun squad and a mortar squad!
"
"The entire brigade has more than 20 heavy machine guns and 12 mortars, and its combat effectiveness is very powerful!"
"Another point is that they chose a very good station tonight. The entire army is stationed on the top of a slope with a large platform. As long as they put a heavy machine gun and mortar on it, they can use firepower to cover the surrounding area of one kilometer.
All blocked.”
"And the Japanese did the same thing. They built two temporary fire points in each direction on the high ground. Each fire point set up a heavy machine gun to support each other, forming a cross fire, and condescendingly protecting their station."
"In addition, there is a squadron of Japanese soldiers responsible for patrolling and guarding at night."
Everyone in the room took a deep breath, and their faces became extremely solemn.
Xiong Changhe was the first to be unable to bear it: "Commander, the Japanese are stationed at a high place. They must have calculated that we will sneak attack them at night!"
"Since a sneak attack is not possible, we can only attack by force. However, if we attack such a position by force, and there are nearly a thousand well-equipped Japs on the position, and there are only more than a thousand of us, can we take it down?"
"It's hard to say!" Yang Huping, commander of the third battalion, also frowned.
He always puts stability first when fighting. If he is not 70% or 80% sure about a battle, he will never fight it.
Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he had no hope for this battle.
"Captain, I think this battle is no less difficult than a siege. If I were to command, there would be no chance of winning!"
Fourth Battalion Evergreen Army, as a newcomer, he chose not to speak.
Wang Ping could see everyone's thoughts at a glance. He was not angry, but said calmly: "It seems that everyone is not optimistic about the battle tonight!"
"But what I want to tell you is that we must fight this battle tonight, and we will win if we fight. There is no doubt about it!"
The faces of more than a dozen people, without exception, all showed complex expressions of shock and confusion.
The one who reacted the most was Xiong Changhe. He was impatient and asked before Wang Ping could finish his words: "Captain, it's impossible. What you said is absolutely impossible!"
"If it was an ambush battle, I would still believe it. But this is a tough battle, which our Eighth Route Army is least good at!"
The others did not speak, but without exception, they all showed the same expression of disbelief on their faces.
Wang Ping suddenly laughed, making everyone look confused.
Then he asked: "Captain Xiong, you have been fighting the Japs for two or three years, so you should know them very well. I ask you, why are the Japs able to match us on the battlefield in China, and occupy so many places in China with such unstoppable momentum?
!”
"Especially the Battle of Taiyuan that year!"
"The Jinsui Army assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to build a defense line, while the Japs only had tens of thousands. They also defended the fortress from a high position, but in the end the Japs still broke through. Can you tell me the reason?"
Xiong Changhe frowned and thought for a few seconds before replying: "It was because the Jinsui army was not united and fought independently, not wanting to fight, and then they were defeated by the Japanese!"
"Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Wang Ping stared at Zhong Chenggong and asked.
"It's because the Japs have too much firepower and good equipment! Even though the Jinsui Army's equipment is very good, compared with the Japs who have planes in the sky and cannons on the ground, the few artillery pieces of the Jinsui Army are simply not enough for the Japs to fill their teeth!"
Zhong Chenggong hesitated and analyzed.
"Even if the Jinsui Army occupies advantageous terrain to block the Japs, these advantageous terrain and defenses are simply useless in front of the Japs' aircraft and heavy artillery and have little effect!"
"Bombing from planes in the sky and shelling from heavy artillery on the ground regardless of consumption, the Jinsui Army will be defeated no matter how powerful it is!"
Wang Ping suddenly interrupted: "That's right!"
"In the face of powerful firepower, no matter how powerful the troops are, they will be torn to pieces by the firepower. This is one of the fundamental reasons why the Japanese are able to compete with us on the battlefield in China!"
"Today, I'm going to turn around and use powerful firepower to attack the Japs. Moreover, they are a group of Japs with almost no fortifications. Let's see who is more powerful, our shells, or the Japs' flesh and blood!"
"Torture the devil once!"
"Chief of Staff, please inform everyone of the number of heavy weapons and ammunition we seized last night!"
Zhong Chenggong stood up immediately: "Comrades, in addition to what we captured last night, we now have four mountain cannons with 600 rounds of shells, and the average number of shells for each cannon is 150! There are 3 infantry guns, and the shells are a little short.
, an average of 100 rounds for each gun, and 18 mortars. Because of the huge trenches where the battle was fought, almost all of our artillery shells in reserve were used up, leaving only the more than 900 rounds captured last night, and an average of 50 rounds for each gun!
"
Before everyone could react from the shock, Wang Ping made his own decision: "Leave a hundred rounds of mountain artillery shells, sixty rounds of infantry artillery shells, two hundred rounds of mortar shells, and take out the rest."
,Tonight, attack the Japanese three kilometers away!"
"My idea is simple: Even if I can't blow up all the Japanese soldiers defending the high ground with artillery shells, I will still hit them hard!"
At two o'clock in the morning, Wang Ping led his men to a location less than one kilometer away from the Japanese camp.
At this time, the two companies that cooperated with the Rong Army had been reorganized, but with the addition of the new company, the Rong Army still had a strength of four companies.
"Batalion Commander Rong, I will give you nine mortars, 350 rounds of artillery shells, plus three infantry guns and all the artillery shells. You will personally take command, detour to the north of the Japanese camp, and launch an attack on camera!"
"I will personally command the other troops and launch an attack directly from the south!"
Rong Jun did not expect that after the troops joined forces, the regiment commander would continue to give him the opportunity to independently command the troops in combat. With emotion, he immediately promised: "Please rest assured, commander, and promise to complete the mission!"
"Direct team, reconnaissance team, you set off now. No matter what method you use, you must advance with the main force to a position three hundred meters away from the Japanese army station!"
