Chapter 126: The Brigade Commander's Care

Although it is still far from the standard weapons of the Japanese squadron, which are 9 machine guns and nine grenade launchers.

However, with the introduction of the precise ranging of laser rangefinders and the cooperation of skilled gunners, three grenade launchers can be used as six, reducing the advantage of the Japanese's front-line grenade attacks.

The improved new grenade launchers in the base have an effective coverage range of up to 900 meters, comparable to a 60mm mortar. In addition, with the fast and accurate positioning of the laser rangefinder, the rapid strikes of skilled gunners, and the ability to control the front line within a kilometer range, they are not much weaker than the grenade launcher squads of the Japanese who have an absolute numerical advantage. The Japanese machine gun fire points on the front line will face huge challenges.

As for those RPG rocket launchers, they are specially designed to strengthen the stronghold attack company's offensive equipment. One hundred assault companies will be equipped with 2 flying thunder cannons and 1 RPG rocket launcher. The goal is to clear the Japanese artillery towers around the base, as well as to attack and destroy the strongholds along the railway and possible armored trains.

Therefore, when the counterattack was about to break out, Ren Zhong felt that the time was ripe and prepared to take advantage of this favorable wind to set off for Kuncheng!

Ren Zhong worked tirelessly for more than half a year and added so many weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army. The main force regiment near the headquarters was quietly renewed. In addition, due to the suddenness of the battle, the headquarters basically did not arrange any major combat missions for the main force regiments under it in the first half of the year.

Even for someone like Li Yunlong who was keen on side jobs, apart from three decent battles in Wanjia Town, the prisoner-of-war camp and Heyuan in the past six months, the rest were piecemeal guerrilla warfare and practice battles.

Just to achieve greater results in the great raid.

According to Ren Zhong's estimation, at least in terms of raiding, the number of Japanese artillery towers destroyed would be at least twice as much as in the original time and space, and the casualties would be much smaller.

As for annihilating the Japanese, Ren Zhong believed that if they seized the opportunity and caught a brigade-level Japanese soldier and pulled him out hard, it would not be a big problem to destroy him.

After all, it is only the Taiyue Military Region now. The conditions are in place to concentrate 3 to 5 main regiments for a decisive battle within a day or two. In terms of weapons, there will be more than 82 mm mortars after the weapons are concentrated.

Using the Eighth Route Army's usual tactics of splitting and encircling, and utilizing small units to pin down a portion of the brigade-level Japanese troops and concentrate forces to annihilate a battalion at one time, the possibility was already very high.

The 5th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Yangcheng was only the Japanese second-line security force. Its main forces were infantry battalions and an artillery and engineering mixed battalion, and it was mainly responsible for the security and policing of the Zhengtai Line railway.

Normally, the number of troops that can be dispatched is 3 to 4 battalions plus an artillery squadron. With the ability of the brigade commanders, these battalions can be pulled apart.

As long as the battle can be resolved within a few hours at night, the Japanese Army Aviation reinforcements will not be able to arrive. For the Eighth Route Army, without the threat from the air, with the current abundant supply of bullets, it is not impossible to eliminate a battalion in seven or eight hours in a three-to-one or even four-to-one situation.

This is why Ren Zhong thinks that now is a good time to set off. By the time he arrives in Kuncheng, he will basically be able to receive overwhelming results.

Under the current premise that the overall results of the War of Resistance against Japan are sluggish and the future is bleak, the results achieved by Li Yunlong and the brigade commander will undoubtedly give the Chinese people a shot in the arm!

Even though some people in later generations commented that this major raid exposed the army's strength too early and resulted in too great a sacrifice, it was very detrimental to the subsequent development of the Eighth Route Army and was a major factor leading to a new round of friction.

However, Ren Zhong had no intention of using his foresight to interfere with the headquarters' planned large-scale raid. On the one hand, he did not know much about strategy and tactics, and on the other hand, Ren Zhong believed that this large-scale raid was just in time. It was just that in history, the disparity in weapons and ammunition and the lack of offensive means led to a lack of shocking results.

So after Ren Zhong came to this time and space, he gained a firm foothold and began to do his utmost to strengthen the strength of the brigade commander and Li Yunlong in order to achieve greater results.

Because the situation in China is very bad now. Not only has half of the country been lost, but the traitor also publicly established a pseudo-regime in March this year! The theory of invincibility is rampant, providing a basis for Han Jiang and others to surrender to the enemy. It can be said that the fate of the nation has been in turmoil and has been suppressed to an extreme. In this case, many fools have an excuse to surrender to the enemy.

Ren Zhong knew that no matter how great the cost, he had to find a way to reverse this depressed situation, and the large-scale raid operation gave people a glimmer of hope.

The greater the victory, the stronger the motivation for the Chinese people to fight against the Japanese!

If we don't go all in and stand up at this time, or if we keep hiding, the people in the mountain city may not be able to sit still and surrender to the enemy.

On the other hand, the brigade commander and his team had completed the layout of the transportation line for the transfer of talent, and the rendezvous points along the way were basically in place. Nearly one hundred underground comrades were mobilized for this purpose alone.

It was not easy for Ren Zhong to make this long journey of nearly 10,000 miles round trip.

The brigade commander was very helpful. He arranged an identity for Ren Zhong as a major so that he could return to Shancheng for business. His credentials and documents were all officially handled by the Guofu War Zone Command and were genuine. However, the brigade commander would later pay the price of exposing a very valuable undercover agent.

But the brigade commander thought it was worth it. Without such an identity and reason to do the job, Ren Zhong would not have been able to lead a dozen armed men from Jin to a large rear area like Shancheng.

There were bandits and defeated soldiers everywhere along the way, and without a strong escort force, the brigade commander himself was worried.

Ren Zhong is too important to the base now. If the research institute's prospects described by Ren Zhong were not too bright, the brigade commander and the division commander would never have agreed to let Ren Zhong take such a risk.

With this chicken that lays golden eggs, you can be worth at least a division in a year!

But Ren Zhong said that this division could be expanded to 5 divisions! That would be worth considering for the division commander and brigade commander. Using this to test the poor Eighth Route Army leaders is really unbearable!

Therefore, the brigade commander tried his best to get Ren Zhong an officer position as a major staff officer of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. With the identity of a regular army officer and the excuse of handling important military intelligence, it seemed justified to mobilize a squad to protect Ren Zhong.

Hu Zi is the squad leader of the guard squad for the new major Ren Zhong.

But now Hu Zi is still a little uncomfortable with calling Ren Zhong "superior" all the time.

He has become accustomed to calling everyone Boss Ren in Heyuan.

However, according to Guofu's strict custom of distinguishing the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates, Hu Zi should respectfully call Ren Zhong "Superior".

Ren Zhong doesn't care. There are many officers with personality. Someone as young as Ren Zhong obviously has a good background. As a young master, isn't it normal for him to bring some people into the army to serve him?
Calling you boss or master is fine as long as they are happy with it, right?
On the edge of the mountains one hundred miles west of Heyuan, there is a small mountain village called Xingtang Temple. The village is not big, with only a hundred or so households. One day, a large group of people suddenly came from the east.

Several people on tall horses rushed to the front.

It was Ren Zhong and his group who were preparing to go to the rear area!
Standing beside him were Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan!
