Chapter nine hundred and twelve fighting the cavalry
The smile on Li Wen's face suddenly disappeared, and he said with a lingering fear: "Yes... fighting like this will kill one thousand enemies and cause eight hundred losses to ourselves. The Japanese have more troops and we have fewer troops. We simply cannot withstand such a situation."
Consume!”
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, do you already have a solution?"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "There is no solution for the time being, but I found two loopholes in the Japanese defense!"
"One is their rear guard... Maybe they think that after the forward troops and the main force have passed safely, both sides of the road will be safe. There is an infantry regiment behind them, and only two squadrons of Japanese cavalry are patrolling and guarding around it!"
"Two cavalry squadrons protect an infantry regiment's nearly two-kilometer march. It can be said that there are loopholes everywhere. We can seize this loophole and target them several times!"
"The second loophole is the little Japanese cavalry unit guarding the main force..."
"The cavalry troops have high mobility during daytime operations and strong assault capabilities. They can quickly dispatch and contain our sneak attack troops."
"However, they also have a weakness. Their firepower is weak and they are far away from the main force on the road. It is impossible to get fire support in a short time. They can only use their powerful assault capabilities to destroy the enemy at close range with sabers..."
"But the more than 300 of us have very powerful firepower. Almost every ten of us have a light machine gun, a submachine gun or an automatic pistol. If the powerful firepower is used properly, it will be the nemesis of the cavalry...
…”
At this point, Wang Ping shut his mouth and stopped talking.
For him, if he could discover the enemy's defense loopholes, he must have thought of a solution.
The reason why he didn't say it out loud was because Wang Ping wanted to test some of his subordinates, especially Li Wen.
If it weren't for the fact that more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers were rushing toward the base area, the direct team would have selected members from the entire regiment and expanded them into a company-level organization together with the reconnaissance platoon.
Therefore, whether it is Li Wen or Tang Guangxin, their commanding abilities must be continuously improved in order to lead the expanded direct team and reconnaissance company.
Regarding this point, Li Wen is obviously more skilled.
After hesitating for less than ten seconds, a pair of eyes shot out two rays of light.
"Captain, I understand. What you mean is that we no longer fight the main force of the Japanese, but the cavalry units that specialize in attacking the Japanese rearguard and surveillance and reconnaissance forces!"
"The Japanese rearguard requires good terrain and opportunities for us to fight. But for their reconnaissance and vigilance cavalry, we can fight them anytime and anywhere!"
Having said this, Li Wen directly picked up a branch, drew a line on the ground, and then placed a few stones next to the straight line.
"Commander, look, this is a road. The main force of the Japanese is moving slowly on the road. These stones represent the squadron of Japanese cavalry patrolling and guarding next to the main force of the Japanese."
"We deployed assaulters to ambush the only way the Japanese cavalry squadron must pass, and then concentrated the firepower and snipers, and arranged them behind the assaulters in series, separated by fifty to one hundred meters, to set up a three-dimensional defensive position for the Japanese cavalry...
…”
"After launching the attack, the assaulters immediately retreated to the defensive positions behind them, and were covered by the firemen and snipers on the first line of defense."
"When the assaulters cross the line of defense, the firemen and snipers on the first line of defense also retreat, and the troops on the second line of defense cover it."
"Excluding the losses last night, we still have more than thirty light and heavy machine guns, which can at least lay out five lines of defense for the Japanese!"
"After the five lines of defense, if the Japanese cavalry does not retreat, they will continue to attack. Our retreating troops will continue to set up defense lines to cover the retreat of the troops in front and consume them."
"A line of defense has six or seven machine guns, plus snipers, and assaulters equipped with submachine guns and automatic pistols. Even if one line of defense only kills ten Japanese cavalry, all the lines of defense combined can kill at least fifty of their cavalry. Plus
There are no other casualties, and there is no more cavalry squadron!"
"What a great idea, Captain Li~" Tang Guangxin's eyes lit up and he shouted.
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, I think Captain Li's method is good. Not only can he fight the Japanese, but he can also capture the war horses and kill one of their cavalry squadrons at a time under the nose of the main Japanese army. It's exciting just thinking about it!"
"
"Let's fight like this. In the next ten days or so, we will kill at least a thousand of their cavalry!"
It is obviously an exaggeration to kill half of the Japanese cavalry regiment by relying solely on sneak attacks.
Wang Ping shook his head and asked: "There is another issue you have not considered... Don't forget, there are little Japanese planes cruising above our heads. If the troops are too concentrated, only one aerial bomb will be needed, and no matter how many troops there are, they will not be able to withstand it.
Get up and explode~"
"And even if we have only a small number of troops together, the Japanese can use the aircraft's machine guns to shoot at us, and the troop losses will still be huge!"
"Terrain, we can choose the terrain that suits us to sneak attack their cavalry troops..." Li Wen reacted immediately.
"It's best if there are deep bushes next to the road... they can block our silhouette, but they can't block the bullets we shoot!"
"Also, our troops must be dispersed when operating. Except for fighting, we should disperse if we can."
"Each battle lasts no more than two minutes, and we don't give the Japanese time to bomb us with planes."
"Before the battle begins, the troops must ensure absolute concealment!"
"After the battle, the troops dispersed quickly so that the Japanese could not find the target for bombing!"
Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "Then let's fight like this once..."
"The surrounding terrain is good. The Japs just lost an engineer regiment. I decided to kill another cavalry squadron to make things worse for the Japs!"
"Li Wen, you choose the battlefield and attack target. You decide how to fight and how to arrange it. I will not participate, as long as the result is achieved!"
Li Wen's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light: "Commander, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission and kill a Japanese cavalry squadron!"
Lieutenant General Ito's face was very ugly. The engineer wing was severely damaged and almost lost its combat effectiveness. Although he had already guessed this result, when the chief of staff said it, his face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Division Commander, the more than two hundred meters long road in front has been destroyed. I have dispatched a brigade to reinforce the forward troops and repair those roads. However, our repair speed is still very slow. No accident, we should leave this afternoon
No more, we can only stop here and rest!"
"Bagaya Road..." Lieutenant General Ito cursed rarely.
He was angry. Once the troops slowed down, he would not be able to reach Linfen on time and recapture Linfen from the Eighth Route Army.
You must know that now, whether it is your own subordinates or the troops staying on the front line, they need to capture Linfen as soon as possible and obtain supplies through Linfen.
If the time is too long, these 50,000 to 60,000 troops may fall into a dangerous situation of insufficient supplies, which is something that I cannot accept no matter what.
