A main battalion of 800 people can be called a small regiment when placed in many base areas!
More importantly, his firepower configuration is extremely powerful. Many main regiments of the Eighth Route Army are not equipped with as many heavy weapons as he is!
But it seems that Huang Sheng is not very satisfied, with an expression of hesitation and hesitation!
"Captain Huang, if you have any other ideas, just tell me!" Li Hao asked directly!
Huang Sheng answered bravely: "Commander, can each battalion be equipped with a few of the thunder cannons used by the army last night?"
"No more, just three gates, enough for a platoon!"
After saying that, Huang Shengjian looked at Li Hao expectantly!
In his opinion, the character of the regiment commander has always been to equip the troops as soon as he has good weapons. He will never use guns to solve problems on the battlefield that can be solved with guns, let alone sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain!
The whole regiment now has thirty-six flying thunder cannons, which are so powerful that a battalion is only divided into three. The regiment commander will definitely agree!
Disappointedly, the group leader refused!
"no!"
"Flying thunder cannons cannot be deployed into the army!"
"Not only cannot the battalions be equipped, but all the thirty-six flying thunder cannons used last night must be sealed. From today on, no one can use them without the orders of me, the political commissar, and the chief of staff!"
"Why?" Huang Sheng asked in confusion!
"Although the thunder cannon has many shortcomings, it also has advantages!"
"Powerful, light weight, easy to transfer on the battlefield!"
"Commander, you also said during last night's offensive battle that once the thunder cannons are used, our Eighth Route Army will have an additional tactical method when attacking the enemy, and it can also deliver fatal attacks to the enemy at critical moments!"
"Just like the battle last night, the third battalion feigned a frontal attack, and the covering guards brought the thunder cannons as close as possible to the Japanese stronghold. Then six thunder cannons fired a salvo. In just one round of shooting, a hole was opened in the Japanese defense line.
Then fight into the stronghold!"
“It’s such a pity that such good equipment should be stored away and not used!”
Li Hao asked calmly: "Do you know where the commando team and the reconnaissance company have gone?"
Seeing Huang Sheng shaking his head, he didn't hide it and said directly!
"Let me tell you, they are now the eyes of our defense regiment, scattered wherever there are little Japs within a hundred kilometers around us!"
"The telegraph machines we brought back from Datong were all taken away by them. They ensure that as long as there is any movement from the little devils around us, I will receive the news immediately!"
"According to their report: At two or three o'clock in the morning, when our attack was in full swing, Japanese troops were dispatched in Lingqiu, Laiyuan... several places, especially Laiyuan City, where they also dispatched cars, armored vehicles, and tanks.
!”
"If we march urgently to reinforce this place, they will definitely arrive before dawn!"
"However, less than an hour after these Japanese troops sent out troops, they all retreated in the end!"
"So far, we have killed three Japanese brigades and broken their blockade on us! However, except for the planes overhead, there is no sign of Japanese reinforcements on the battlefield. They are all huddled in the county town and strongholds, standing still!
"
"Do you know why this is?"
Huang Sheng frowned and continued to shake his head to express his confusion!
Hong Linfeng's brows were also wrinkled at first, but he soon relaxed and showed an expression of sudden realization!
"I seem to understand!"
"Captain, could it be because of the flying thunder cannon?"
"Not bad!" Li Hao affirmed!
"We know what the thunder cannon looks like, the Japanese don't!"
"Based on the performance of the thunder cannons on the battlefield, especially the powerful lethality shown by the explosive packets! I judge that the Japs probably regarded them as heavy artillery, or as a secret weapon that they didn't know about!"
"Of course, no matter what the little devils think of them, the reinforcements all retreated within an hour of their departure, which shows that they are afraid of our flying thunder cannons!"
"If that's the case, then why don't we add fuel to the flames and make the Japanese more afraid!"
"Seal up the flying thunder cannons and call them secrets of our garrison to the outside world, making them become more and more mysterious so that the devils can't figure out what kind of weapons they are!"
"If I were a little devil commander, I would only do one thing at this time!"
"Find out the Flying Thunder Cannon at all costs, and until we do, we will never take the initiative to send troops to attack the garrison, and we will die in vain!"
Hong Linfeng immediately understood what Li Hao was thinking and immediately said: "In this way, we can get a longer development time!"
"Captain, this is a good idea!"
"Keep the mystery of the flying thunder cannon so that the little devils are scared and confused. They can only wait and see, not daring to come and attack us!"
Li Hao nodded and replied: "This is called strategic deterrence!"
"Before we figure out what kind of weapon the thunder cannon is, the Japanese will definitely not dare to send troops to attack us out of fear of the thunder cannon!"
"Of course, this deterrent is only temporary!"
"There is no airtight wall in the world. News will leak out sooner or later. As long as the devils figure out the flying thunder cannon, this deterrent will be gone, and the flying thunder cannon will no longer need to be sealed!"
"At that time, I will give you six guns in each battalion and form a flying thunder artillery platoon in the artillery company!"
At the Japanese Army Headquarters in Taiyuan, the commander sat on a stool, looking at the sand table in front of him, motionless for half an hour!
The chief of staff walked in hurriedly, looked at the military commander's solemn expression, and moved his mouth for a long time without knowing how to speak!
The army commander is in a very bad mood now. He was just scolded by the commander of the front army! And he has brought bad news. Reporting it hastily will definitely add insult to injury and further anger him!
But this news is what the military commander has been waiting for. If he keeps refraining from reporting it, it may delay the military situation, and he cannot bear such a responsibility!
In the end, I could only prepare for the blizzard and bite the bullet and report: "Sir, there is news from the aviation force!"
"The three brigade stations are deserted. There is nothing but the corpses of imperial soldiers everywhere!"
"My humble suggestion is to immediately mobilize troops from the surrounding area, and under the cover of aircraft, rush to the three strongholds to find out what is going on!"
"Three infantry brigades, nearly three thousand imperial troops, were eaten by the garrison in one night!"
"With the original combat power of the garrison, it is definitely not possible!"
"So, the secret weapon mentioned by the three brigades in their farewell telegrams must be the fundamental reason why the garrison killed our three brigades!"
"Only by going to the battlefield and studying the impact point of the projectile, the lethality of the shells, and the location of the artillery can we figure out the specific power of this secret weapon bit by bit!"
The army commander replied with a stern face: "Then why are you stunned? Send someone to investigate immediately!" "Go to an infantry squadron in each direction. There must be specialized artillery following, and aircraft cover. Find out for me what secret weapon this is!"
"
"The intelligence agencies must also take action to find out the specific performance of this weapon at all costs!"
“It’s best to get photos and real objects if possible!”
"This way we can find its weakness and destroy it on the battlefield!"
