Rise from the sword

Chapter 296 Kazuki Yamamoto and Ding Wei's Thoughts

Day two.

early morning.

In the newly renovated Taiyuan First Army Aviation Brigade Airport.

Five [-]-type light explosives were pushed out of the hangar and parked in a row on an empty aircraft stand. A fully loaded fuel truck was parked next to the aircraft. The maintenance mechanic was conducting the final inspection of the aircraft. In the ammunition depot on one side, Dozens of devils slowly pushed the small trolley loaded with bombs towards the plane.

On the other side, five devil pilots were conducting a combat simulation.

In order to wipe out the special team of the independent regiment that made him very troublesome in one fell swoop, Yoshio Shinozuka used his greatest strength, five [-]-type light explosive aircraft, which will carry more than [-] tons of aviation explosives to attack the special team' station 'Bombing.

Preparations went quickly.

an hour later.

The pilot had already put on goggles and sat in the driver's seat. The propellers began to rotate slowly. The shooter in the back seat also fastened his seat belt. Three bombs were hung on the belly of each plane.

On the control tower of the airport, a flight brigade staff officer is introducing Kazuki Yamamoto who came to supervise the battle:
"The maximum bomb load of our Type 250 Light Explosion is 350 kilograms, but this is the maximum bomb load and will affect the flight range. However, this time the combat radius is relatively short, so each aircraft is equipped with a [-] kg bomb. Bomb and two fifty-kilo bombs, totaling [-] kilograms."

Yamamoto also knew about aircraft operations because of special operations. After nodding, he asked:

"What about navigation?"

The biggest problem of the land aviation bombing, especially this kind of mountainous terrain, is navigation. The distance is at least 100 kilometers, and it is difficult to distinguish the mountains. At a glance, they are all hillsides, peaks and valleys. A few hundred meters away, the ghost knows where the target is , it is difficult to find a specific target, even if there is a map, it is very easy to make mistakes.

"There is no problem with the navigation. Yesterday's reconnaissance plane has already drawn up a navigation route and marked the bombing target with photos. Moreover, this time it is the pilot who carried out the reconnaissance mission yesterday."

In this regard, the Taiyuan First Army Aviation Brigade was naturally prepared.

"Yo Xi."

Nodding again, Yamamoto looked at the five planes drawn out one by one on the runway, especially the five machine gun shooters in the back seat, the corners of his mouth moved, but he still didn't say anything.

Why, go to bomb an Eighth Route Army and bring machine gun shooters?
Can't save some weight and load explosives?

Or save some fuel?

Are you still worried about being intercepted by the opponent's fighter jets?

Why not directly send fighter jets to escort it!
When Yamamoto was madly complaining about the rigid behavior of the flight brigade, five planes had already taken to the sky. After assembling the formation, they flew to the distant destination.

During the period, the flight brigade staff officer who did not notice Yamamoto's expression continued to talk non-stop:
"In order to ensure that the target is eliminated at one time, the five light explosives will carry out intensive continuous attacks, which means continuous bombing at ultra-low altitudes, and will not give the enemy time to escape and evacuate, in order to kill the enemy to the maximum extent."

"Yoshi, yoshi."

Yamamoto nodded expressionlessly.

Although he disdained the rigid system and sluggish command of the aviation brigade, he also believed that there was no problem in this operation.

He has also seen the terrain. The straight canyon terrain, high mountains on both sides, is very concealed, but it also leads to concentration, and the bombing efficiency is very high. Five bombs totaling more than [-] tons are enough to wipe out more than half of the independent regiments special squad.

And according to the information Zhu Ziming sent back, it was confirmed that the special team would be training in the base all the time in the near future, and there was no need to worry about the target leaving.

After leaving the airport, Kazuki Yamamoto returned to his small headquarters, then leaned on the table, looked at the map above, and began to think about a problem

"Where should I go?"

According to the latest order of the North China Front Army, he will organize three experimental special teams, each with about 40 to [-] people, to go deep into the so-called base areas of the Eighth Route Army and carry out sabotage warfare.

There were two teams before, but this time it has been upgraded to three teams, which shows that the superiors have further attached importance to special operations, and Yamamoto has also put [-] points on it.

Whether the great cause of special operations can be promoted, spread to the entire army of the Empire of Japan, and even change the combat situation in the Republic of China and even in East Asia, all depends on this time to destroy the enemy's rear.

Yamamoto was full of pride.

However, after he really started to think about it, he found that things seemed to be more difficult than he expected.

Very very tricky.

Assault warfare behind enemy lines is only a small part of the special operations system he has learned, and it is also the simplest part.

With a special team of dozens of people, it couldn't be easier to go deep behind enemy lines without being discovered.

Supplies can be brought with you, and there will be no intersection with the locals. The dense jungle and the rugged and complicated mountain roads make it impossible to block. No matter how many lookout posts, you will not be able to find small groups of troops who are good at concealment and march at night.

Therefore, Yamamoto speculates that these three weakened special teams will not have any problems going deep into the enemy's base areas. Even, as long as they move fast enough, they can come and go freely without being afraid of the enemy's encirclement.

But the question is, what to attack after arriving at the opponent's base?
Attack behind enemy lines, destroying important facilities such as the enemy's traffic points, such as traffic nodes, road bridges, railways, etc.

but.

Destroy bridges?

The bases of the Eighth Route Army are all in mountainous areas, and there are no big rivers, so people don’t need this thing at all. When encountering a small river, they usually go directly to it, or use a single-plank bridge, or don’t cross it, just take a detour.

What's the use of him destroying it?

Destroy road nodes.

Isn't this exactly what the Eighth Route Army is going to do?
If he destroys road nodes on a large scale, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army will give him a certificate of award.The top brass of the imperial army wants to arrest him.

Destroy the railway.

People don't have this stuff at all.

Thinking about it, Yamamoto's eyes became dull.

However, he was an elite devil after all. After taking a deep breath, he began to think again.

The main purpose of raiding the enemy's rear was to destroy the enemy's important strategic locations. The Eighth Route Army obviously didn't have any strategic locations, but those arsenals and factories counted.But with his small size, it is impossible for him to enter the enemy's mountain arsenal. There must be heavy guards there. If the army goes there, the enemy will retreat before they get close.It can only be empty.

But a strategic location is not necessarily a location, it can be something else...

After a long time, Yamamoto's eyes suddenly turned cold.

At the same time, he turned his gaze to the other side of Shou County.

For the first battle, he definitely couldn't choose the most difficult place, so he couldn't go to Li Yunlong's territory. Yamamoto was very confident that Li Yunlong's independent regiment was very powerful and capable of annihilating his weakened version of the special team.

What is that old saying called? The persimmons were picked softly.

Therefore, this time, Yamamoto decided to send a team to the other side of Shou County. It is said that there is the unit where Li Yunlong used to be, called Xinyi Regiment, which is also the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Then, the other branch was cast to a station called the New Second Regiment.

As for the third branch, because the decision was too late and the troops were not yet in place, it will take some time to complete the formation.

······
The other side of Shou County.

New group.

Recently, Ding Wei's little life is going very well.

Although he is adjacent to two counties, the devils in Shou County do not go out, and the devils on the other side have limited erosion of his base area. .

For this, he was also praised by his superiors.

He got the title of a model base group and a model base, and called on other base groups to learn from Ding Wei.

As soon as the days were free, Ding Wei began to tinker with his new regiment, began to prepare for the expansion of the army, began to learn from Li Yunlong, and developed the army into a brigade of more than 2000 people.

After all, looking at the world, a regiment-level force should have more than 2000 people. It is not right for him to have less than 500 people.

Head Ding was full of pride, and he also thought in his heart that although it is impossible to face-on or even defeat the full-staffed brigade of the Devil A Division like Li Yunlong, after all, he does not have any supplies from Boss Chen, but he can deal with a The second-line divisions fly to the full formation brigade, such as the Yamazaki brigade, and it is no problem to directly defeat them one-on-one after encountering them, right?

His new regiment is not badly equipped either.

Machine guns have not been popularized to squads, but it is still no problem to have one machine gun for one and a half squads, and there is no shortage of rifles.The artillery company also has two 82 mortars and four 4 mortars that are not weak, but the shells are a little less, so they have to be used sparingly.

Because he also participated in the last battle of the Jieguizi army, the grenadiers in the arsenal of the headquarters have been distributed. He is the first to equip them, and there is no shortage of grenade ammunition. Almost all of these things were seized by him, and there was a lot of them in the ammunition depot.

As for the bullets, how could he live a life as the head of Ding?There are still 10,000+ hair stocks!

Just do what you say, and after a period of military expansion and training, the Xinyi Regiment has finally become a large regiment of two thousand people.

However, after the crowd increased, Ding Wei began to feel the pressure.

The 2000 regular troops, and even a cavalry company among them, eat horse chews every day, which consumes a lot. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, they have to strengthen training and have to increase food supply, which puts tremendous pressure on Ding Wei.

"Captain, our situation is not good."

At the regiment headquarters of the new regiment, Cheng He, the commander of the first battalion, was full of worry: "There is not much food in the warehouse, and the people in the base area can't help much. The weather is bad this year, and the harvest is not much."

"How long can it last?"

Ding Wei frowned deeply.

"Based on the current consumption, at most three months."

Cheng He smiled wryly.

In order to ensure the training effect of the troops, the Xinyi Regiment has increased the food intake, so the per capita food consumption of the troops is more than before.

"Three months."

Tapping his fingers on the table, Ding Wei looked thoughtfully.

The solution to food is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

Open source.

There is no other way for the base.

The population here is small, and the weather has been bad recently, the harvest is not good, and more food cannot be provided, and the people themselves are not living well.As for the devils, the little devils have also mastered it, and they hardly give the opportunity to attack the transport team, and the occasional capture is only a drop in the bucket.

throttling.

The troops can only reduce their rations and then reduce their training intensity.

Grandmaster Dante was very unwilling.

The more troops there are, the higher the training requirements are, and only after long-term training can combat effectiveness be brought into play.Once the training intensity is weakened, the combat effectiveness of the troops will decline to a certain extent.

The reason why Li Yunlong's independent regiment was able to have such a strong combat effectiveness was due to training. Compared with the weapons and ammunition provided by Boss Chen, even training had no difference in the factors affecting combat effectiveness.

Then, we can only find a way on open source...

"Continue to maintain the current consumption, food problems, I will find a solution."

After speaking to Cheng He, Ding Wei squinted his eyes and turned his gaze to Li Yunlong's territory on the map.

Every time the messenger goes to the independent regiment, he can have a meal there, full of fine grains, oil and meat, and not a lot, and even give out two large white-faced buns fried with meat when they come back. Eat on the road, highlighting a landlord's grandfather making pies.

Every time the independent regiment liaison mission, the guard platoon rushed to go, and almost fought for it.

Therefore, there must be enough food for Li Yunlong, and that boss Chen must have provided this kid with a lot of food.

But what should I get in exchange?
Touching his chin, Ding Wei was lost in thought.

Li Yunlong's things are not so easy to get. I just received two heavy machine guns from others, and now I come to ask for food.

After thinking for a while, he said:
"Come on, go and call Wang Chengzhu over."

······
Independence Corps.

regiment.

Li Yunlong is holding a combat summary meeting.

"Currently, our regiment's 4000-strong army expansion plan has been completed. Three battalions and a total of twelve infantry companies have conducted more than three actual combat training around the Huting stronghold, and the training effect is remarkable."

Zhang Dabiao took the lead in reporting:
'Moreover, during this period of time, we also assisted the guerrillas around the Huting stronghold and recovered a large number of previously lost bases. '

"However, more than 300 Japanese reinforcements came to the Huting stronghold yesterday, and they are currently gathering forces to launch an attack on the base over there, seeking a decisive battle with us. If we continue to fight with a single company as a unit, it will be very dangerous and it will be easy to be surrounded by the Japanese army. .”

"The little devils over there are not weak in combat power. If we are at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, the possibility of losing the battle is very high. Therefore, if we want to continue the actual combat training, we must operate with two companies, or strengthen the company."

"Guarantee that we and the devils have a military advantage."

"After all, [-]% of recruits still have a great impact on combat effectiveness."

"Stop first."

Li Yunlong said: "Let the soldiers take a rest and sum up their experience. As for the actual combat, we will talk about it after a while."

There is a degree of relaxation, and Captain Li still understands that he has been fighting continuously for more than a month, so he should stop and let the soldiers digest and digest, and train for a period of time to make up for the shortcomings.

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao nodded.

He also felt that it was time to stop.

At this time, suddenly, the metal communicator on Li Yunlong's waist rang.
