Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 209 The Volunteer Army conducts joint operations among multiple arms!

Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!

As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Ziwei walked in.

"Deputy Head!"

Tan Ziwei waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone sit down!"

Tan Ziwei found a place to sit down, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Li Guotao, did they tell you?"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "I was just about to say that, but you came. Are you going to attack?"

Tan Ziwei nodded and said, "We are going to attack, but the scale is not large. The goal this time is just to kill a battalion of American soldiers on the opposite side."

It just wiped out a battalion of American troops, so the scale is indeed not that large.

However, the battle line is relatively stable now, and it is not so easy to quickly wipe out an enemy reorganized battalion.

Li Guotao immediately became excited upon hearing this and said, "Great, I've been feeling really depressed for a while now, when are we going to start?"

"tomorrow!"

Tan Ziwei continued, "According to the instructions from our superiors, we need to cut the Gordian knot this time and try to wipe out the American battalion on the opposite side in the shortest possible time."

Li Guotao quickly asked: "How many troops are we sending out this time?"

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "I only called you here this time, don't you understand?"

Li Guotao said in surprise: "We have only one company, but we can defeat an entire American battalion? How is this possible?"

No matter how powerful Li Guotao's Seventh Company was, it was impossible for it to wipe out an entire enemy battalion.

After continuous replenishment during this period, the strength of the Seventh Company has recovered to about 150, and its combat effectiveness has also improved.

But the American camp opposite has about a thousand soldiers.

Wu Qianli explained: "Of course it's not just our Seventh Company. There are too many wolves and too little meat. Everyone is thinking about fighting. Our Third Battalion finally managed to grab a spot for a company, so naturally I am thinking about the Seventh Company."

"You can't tell this to anyone else. Even if you tell me, I won't admit it."

"Haha~!"

Li Guotao laughed and said, "It's useless for you to deny it. They have always said that you favor our Seventh Company."

Tan Ziwei said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense."

"We have a large number of brother troops assisting in this operation, and it will be a multi-service joint operation, so you can rest assured."

"Your Seventh Company's mission is to attack the enemy's Camp No. 1 from the front."

"Multi-service joint operations?"

Li Guotao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Tan Ziwei continued, "You will know when the time comes. I don't know the specific situation."

"The instructions from the higher-ups are to be prepared for battle today and be ready to fight tomorrow."

"And the superior commander has emphasized that the attack may be launched during the day. It is tentatively planned to be launched after the enemy stops shelling and takes advantage of their return to the camp, when their defenses are weakened."

Attack during the day?

Li Guotao became even more excited.

You should know that in previous battles, the Volunteer Army's attacks were basically at night, and they were generally on the defensive during the day.

Because the enemy had air superiority and a large number of planes that could be called for aircraft support at any time, and their artillery was also very powerful, the volunteers could not gain any advantage during the day and were forced to attack at night.

And this time the attack would be launched during the day.

Thinking about what Tan Ziwei had just said about the joint operations of multiple arms, Li Guotao roughly understood it.

That is to say, in addition to infantry, at least artillery must be involved in this attack, and there must also be air force cover to prevent enemy bombing.

Infantry, artillery and air force can indeed be called a joint operations of multiple arms.

Li Guotao's face suddenly broke into a smile, and he said with a smile: "What else is there to say?" "We have never fought such a rich war in our lives, just wait and see!"

"I let these bastards drink, dance and sing. Tomorrow I will send them all to hell to dance."

Tan Ziwei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! Whether our Seventh Company can achieve greater success depends on you."

Li Guotao quickly responded: "I guarantee that the task will be completed."

Tan Ziwei just glanced at Wu Qianli and didn't say anything else.

Wu Qianli said: "In this case, you should go back and prepare first, and wait for combat orders at any time."

"Yes!"

Li Guotao responded and then left the battalion headquarters.

After returning to the base, Li Guotao immediately called Yu Congrong and others over.

Li Guotao first told them about the orders from their superiors. Hearing that there would be another war, everyone was very excited and was ready to fight the enemy.

At this time, Yu Congrong suddenly said: "I took people to the regiment headquarters to collect supplies today. Guess what I saw?"

"what?"

Li Guotao joked: "It's impossible that I saw your wife!"

"Screw you!"

Yu Congrong said angrily: "I am a bachelor, where can I get a wife?"

Li Guotao asked curiously: "If it's not my wife, then what else could it be that can make you so excited?"

Yu Congrong said: "It's a tank!"

"What's so special about tanks? They come every day and hang around in front of me. I'm tired of seeing them. If it weren't for their strong firepower, I would have blown them up long ago."

Li Guotao gnashed his teeth in anger when he recalled the scene of the enemy dancing around the tanks.

But Li Guotao quickly reacted and said, "You mean you saw tanks at the regiment headquarters?"

"Yes!"

"Our tanks?"

"Of course it's our tank!"

Li Guotao became even more excited. It seemed that this multi-service joint operation involved not only infantry and artillery, but also armored troops.

Li Guotao quickly asked: "How many tanks are there?"

Yu Congrong said with a smile: "More than 30."

"More than thirty tanks! That should be a tank battalion!"

Li Guotao's eyes sparkled with excitement. He stood up and said with a smile, "A tank battalion, an unknown number of artillery, and a large number of infantry."

"And we may even have planes in the sky to help us!"

"It would be really exciting if this battle were to start!"

"Haha~!"

"Today is different from the past. If the enemy can go, I can go too."

"No wonder the superiors were so confident that they dared to launch an attack in the daytime, and they also vowed to wipe out an entire battalion of them, and the sooner the better, in order to cut the Gordian knot."

"I was thinking about this before. Although one battalion of enemies is not a large number, if they retreat, we won't be able to exert our strength even if we deploy more troops. We won't be able to bring our advantage in manpower into play."

"Now I understand that this is an overkill!"

Yu Congrong was also very excited when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Well, this time, we finally got a chance to eat meat, so we must perform well."

Li Guotao said: "Of course, there are too many wolves and too little meat. If we are slow, we may not even get a sip of soup."
