Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 116 Tunnels and Poisonous Strategies

The battle ended quickly. In just over half an hour, the Ninth Company and the District Team killed three people and injured 11 people, eating up an entire Japanese team.After quickly cleaning the battlefield, the ninth company commander immediately sent someone to report to Li Yunlong.

"Good fight!" Li Yunlong laughed: "Tell Xiao Wang, keep up the good work! Don't save me ammunition, hit me hard when you get the chance! All the weapons captured will be used to support friendly forces and arm the militia!"

"Go to the ordnance officer and get as much ammunition as your company has consumed. Go ahead!"

"Yes!" The correspondent of the Ninth Company saluted, then turned and left the headquarters.

Li Yunlong put away his smile and turned to look at the map on the wall.

"Zhang Dabiao, come here."

"Captain." Zhang Dabiao walked to Li Yunlong's side.

Li Yunlong looked at the map on the wall: "The Japanese have reinforced so many people at once. They will definitely not stay in the city forever. Sooner or later, they will take action."

"Nearly 1000 troops cannot be mobilized together. They must be divided into groups. Our regiment has only two battalions here with more than [-] people. It cannot be fully defended. Therefore, we must let the people in each village Be prepared. Once the Japs make any movement, the common people must have a place to hide, and the Japs must have troops to hold them back. At least they must be able to hold off for a few hours, until the soldiers from our regiment can support them."

"You need to talk to the county government about this and ask the local troops and militia to be more careful. The little devil doesn't blink when he kills people."

Zhang Dabiao nodded.

"In addition, Advisor Meng previously submitted a combat plan to the headquarters, which was adopted by the headquarters and will be promoted to the entire army, especially the local troops. Here in Yushe County, it is organized by the county government and supervised by our regiment." Li Yunlong said , took a pamphlet from the side and handed it to Zhang Dabiao: "You should also read it."

Zhang Dabiao took the booklet and was attracted by the three words on the cover: "Tunnel War?"

"Well, I talked with Brother Meng. This is a very good defensive tactic. It is almost difficult for existing weapons and equipment to have an effect on tunnels. With this tactic, even the militiamen of each village can fight against The Japs struggled for a while. Unfortunately, the Japs in Yushe County came very quickly, and it was too late to dig out the tunnel network described in the book, but there was still time to dig some tunnels to hide people and connect them together later."

Li Yunlong said, then paused: "You should take care of this matter yourself."

"Ah? What about you, captain?" Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong curled his lips: "Stupid! I plan to take a day or two to walk the roads marked on this map, and also check out the nearby terrain."

You can't command a battle just by looking at a map, that's just talking on paper.You must imprint the local terrain in your mind so that you can command with ease.Therefore, Li Yunlong planned to use his own steps to measure the territory and conduct an on-site inspection before the war started.

"During this period, the army will be left to you and Geng Jingshan. You two should discuss it more when something happens. I have no other request. Just keep the casualties of the soldiers to a minimum."

"Yes! Captain, don't worry."

If it were in the past, Li Yunlong's request would probably be "only allowed to take advantage, not suffer losses."But since consultant Meng's continued assistance, Li Yunlong's thinking has gradually changed, and his "business" thinking has gradually decreased.

Consultant Meng can replenish the ammunition you fired.There is no need to worry that after this battle is over, the next battle will be impossible. Li Yunlong's thinking naturally no longer needs to "do business", but turns to "how to use ammunition to kill the enemy more effectively and reduce his own casualties."

"But, Captain, how many people are you taking with you? If we bump into the Japanese, we will suffer a loss if we don't have enough people."

"I'll take the reconnaissance platoon." Li Yunlong smiled: "Now you feel relieved, right?"

"That's okay." Zhang Dabiao smiled.After Consultant Meng provided more types of supplies, Li Yunlong naturally made many adjustments to the troops' equipment.In addition to normal infantry companies, reconnaissance platoons, special agent companies and other units are equipped with a large number of twenty-gun weapons, and some snipers trained at shooting ranges are even trained with Type [-] sniper rifles.

In other words, the reconnaissance platoon led by Li Yunlong is really no weaker than a company in terms of firepower.Sniper rifles hit directly from a long distance, and dozens of automatic pistols shot directly from a short distance.It's hard to say how many Japs this platoon can fight to the death, but even if they bump into two squadron Japs, it's no problem if they want to protect the leader and run away.

Yushe County Headquarters.

At the end of the meeting, all the officers filed out and returned to their units, preparing for battle.

At the meeting just now, Captain Heiteng decided to launch a sweep against the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, to annihilate this main regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time expand the scope of the imperial army's activities, and reverse the decline of the imperial army in Yushe County in one fell swoop.

Both Nobuo Shan and Wang Deshui disagreed with this raid plan.But it was useless. The Kurotō Squadron had just arrived and had complete strength. Nobuo Yamayama had been defeated many times in a row, so he naturally had no face to compete with Kurotō for the right to speak.And Wang Deshui was demoted to deputy captain of the guard force. Even Bao Zhong couldn't convince him, let alone influence the decision.

The final result was naturally that large troops came out of the city to sweep.Those who are unwilling to go out of the city to raid will stay in the city to defend.The ones defending this time were naturally the Shanzhang Squadron that had been beaten several times and a few garrison puppet troops who still supported Wang Deshui.

"Taijun on the mountain."

"Mr. Wang."

After the meeting, Wang Deshui invited Nobuo Shan to his residence in the city.Wang Deshui personally made a pot of tea for Nobuo Shan.

"What do Mr. Wang think of this raid?" Nobuo Shanshan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

Wang Deshui organized his words for a while.He had already received a slap for being rude last time, so naturally he wouldn't fall in the same place twice.The lesson learned last time had already taught him that these Japs really had a strong mind. Even if they couldn't defeat them on the frontal battlefield, they just felt that the Imperial Army was invincible and that the Eighth Route Army was just cunning and diseased. Sooner or later they would be wiped out by the Imperial Army.

In other words, these Japs are living in a dream. If you want to change their self-confidence, you have to get beaten by the Japs first.If he hadn't had a grudge against Balu for killing his father, and if he hadn't had no choice but to borrow the power of the Japs, he would have left long ago.

What a bunch of insects they are!
"Shan Taijun, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Nobuo Yamayama put down his tea cup: "What about lies? What about the truth?"

"If you lie, it means that the imperial army is invincible. This sweep will definitely turn the tide and return with a great victory."

"What about the truth?"

"The Eighth Route Army is good at using its own strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings. If you can't defeat it, it will naturally disappear like a loach, and you don't know where to burrow. If you can defeat it, the imperial army will inevitably suffer certain losses. So. The best result of this sweep is that it will be in vain. If the security forces do not have enough combat power, they may suffer heavy losses."

Wang Deshui looked at Nobuo Shan, his mouth a little dry.He didn't know if Nobuo Yamayama would slap him again.

"What about your opinion?"

Wang Deshui took a deep breath and continued to peddle his theory: "Taijun, from my point of view, we still need to destroy the trust between the Eighth Route Army and the people first. As long as a small part of the people are dissatisfied with the Eighth Route Army, we will create a With an image of being friendly to the people, things will be much easier to handle. As long as one percent of people are willing to tip us off, the Eighth Route Army will not be as stable as it is now."
