After capturing the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, the garrison can switch from defense to offense. Under the cover of night, it can actively attack the Japanese and puppet troops to sweep up the troops, and use heavy artillery to suppress them.
But this also comes with a huge risk.
How to capture the heavy artillery brigade.
Such a killer strategic force must be the favorite of Nakata Yamaro. No matter where they go, a large number of infantry will follow them to protect their safety.
The cavalry's combat effectiveness is very strong. If it is well commanded, it can easily kill thousands of infantry.
But he also has nemesis, and there are many of them.
Not to mention tanks and armored vehicles, as long as a few of them are stuck in the attack path of the cavalry battalion, even if the cavalry battalion turns into a cavalry regiment, they will not be able to break through their interception.
To put it bluntly, even if the chariot brigade is really separated from the heavy artillery brigade and transferred to the front line for combat, Nakata Yamaro will definitely leave a lot of infantry to continue to protect the heavy artillery brigade.
The infantry also has enemies that the cavalry fears, and there are many of them.
The more Hong Linfeng thought about it, the more solemn his expression became.
Seeing Li Hao's confident expression that he was determined to win, he immediately reminded: "Captain, even if Nakata Yamaro transfers the chariot brigade, there will still be infantry next to the heavy artillery brigade."
"As long as these infantrymen are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and are used intensively, the cavalry battalion will never come back."
"Not only will I not be able to raid the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, I will also fall into it myself, losing my wife and losing our troops."
Li Hao answered mysteriously: "Chief of Staff, don't worry."
"The enemy's rear is so dangerous, I certainly won't let just one cavalry battalion fight through it."
"Don't forget, there are two elite members of our garrison who have never appeared."
Hong Linfeng's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light, staring closely at Li Hao and asking: "Captain, do you mean the commando team and the reconnaissance company?"
"If I remember correctly, they disappeared after the last counterattack against the three counties of Laiyuan."
"I've asked them where they are more than once, but you never tell me, Captain. As time goes by, I really kind of forgot about them."
"Could they also be involved when the cavalry battalion attacks the Japanese heavy artillery brigade?"
Li Hao answered with certainty: "They will participate in the whole process, and there are many battles that only they can complete."
With them participating in the battle, the cavalry battalion's chances of winning will definitely increase a lot.
But Hong Linfeng's good mood did not last long. He frowned and continued to remind: "Captain, the commando team and the reconnaissance company are very powerful, but the strength of the troops is not too small."
"The most fatal problem is that they are not equipped with heavy weapons."
"This means that after the battle begins, they will not be able to preemptively destroy the heavy weapons equipped by the Japanese from a long distance."
"In the end, it will not only become the nemesis of the cavalry battalion, but also the nemesis of the commando and reconnaissance companies."
Li Hao's expression was calm, and his face was still as confident as ever.
A very definite answer: "Chief of Staff, your worries only exist on the battlefield where we are head-to-head with the Japanese."
"If the commando team and the reconnaissance company can only face off against the Japs head-on, then they cannot be called elite."
"Pass my order: The cavalry battalion will set off immediately after finishing its rest."
"Moving day and night, with the support of the reconnaissance company and commando team, they marched quickly towards the enemy's rear to join them, and captured the Japanese heavy artillery brigade at all costs."
"All troops and operations behind enemy lines are under the unified command of commando captain Xiao Yuan."
"The mobile battalion moves with the regiment headquarters and reinforces the battlefield at any time."
"The three main battalions, including local troops, supplementary troops, and guerrillas that cooperate with their operations, are uniformly commanded by their respective battalion commanders."
"There is only one mission. After the new round of raids by the Japanese and puppet troops begins, drag them into the guerrilla zone at all costs to ensure that not a single villager in the base area is killed."
On a hilltop fifty kilometers away from the regiment headquarters, assault captain Xiao Yuan and reconnaissance company commander Chen Wei lay side by side on the ground, holding up binoculars to observe something. They remained motionless in this position for almost ten minutes.
Five kilometers away from the town entrance, a huge station has appeared here for three days.
There were all little Japs inside, patrols came in and out, and sentries were placed five kilometers outside the station, at the foot of the mountain, and the security was very tight.
Other camps are lined with tents, but this camp is surrounded by two huge open spaces.
Twelve cannons were neatly placed in an open space, with their muzzles raised high, pointing straight into the sky.
Although he is wearing a gun jacket, the specific model of the artillery is not known.
However, the long barrel, the huge and heavy body...
These characteristics are enough to prove that this is an unusual artillery.
Yes, this is one of the trump cards that Nakata Yamaro has high hopes for: the Type 99 105 mm caliber mountain gun, a brigade-level suppressive artillery equipped only for the elite Japanese troops.
It is powerful and has a long range. It can definitely suppress all the artillery equipped by the garrison on the battlefield.
Twelve guns, more than 3,000 rounds of artillery shells, and hundreds of mules and horses are all here.
In another open space, twenty-four tanks and twelve armored vehicles were parked neatly there.
This is another trump card in Nakata Yamaro's hands, the chariot brigade.
Especially the twenty-four tanks, in addition to the light tanks that have appeared in large numbers on the Chinese battlefield, there are also six medium tanks that were finally obtained with great difficulty.
Unless the garrison is equipped with specialized anti-tank artillery and specialized armor-piercing projectiles, six medium tanks will definitely be able to traverse the battlefield and be invincible.
"Rumble..."
Just after dawn, there was a roar from the Japanese army station.
Xiao Yuan was several kilometers away from his station. Although his hearing was very vague, he could still identify the source of these sounds at once.
"It's the sound of a tank engine, and dozens of tanks are starting at the same time." Xiao Yuan shouted with eyes shining.
"I will never forget this sound until I die. In order to understand these tanks and heavy artillery, our commando team started tracking them ten days ago. We know them very well."
Less than two minutes later, the tank in the open space moved.
There were dozens of cars driving together, each of them loaded with soldiers and supplies.
A convoy of nearly a hundred tanks, armored vehicles, and military trucks drove out of the camp, like a long queue, heading towards the guerrilla zone.
"Captain Xiao, this is the entire Japanese chariot brigade dispatched. It seems to be heading towards the guerrilla zone."
Xiao Yuan answered with certainty: "It must have gone to the guerrilla zone. The tank can only be effective when it gets there. If it is left here, it will be a pile of scrap metal."
"Send a telegram to the regiment leader immediately to inform them of the situation and ask them to prepare in advance."
"The guerrilla areas are full of our guerrillas, and they are the best eyes for our garrison. As long as they pass by, they will definitely not be able to escape those eyes."
