Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Yoshio Shinozuka understood what Miyamoto Toshi meant.

Miyano Shun nodded and said, "That's right... I think we should arrange for our intelligence department's spies to infiltrate the Xinzhongcun base and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Su Zheng!"

"Even if we can't say that we're carrying out an assassination, we can still carry out some sabotage operations in Xinzhong Village to prevent them from having peace!"

Yoshio Shinozuka pondered what Miyano Shun said, and it did make some sense.

Since open military action cannot win, assassination and other means will be used.

This assassination method is hard to guard against.

At the same time, the probability of success is also high.

In the eyes of Yoshio Shinozuka and Shun Miyano, it is a very simple and easy task to infiltrate spies into a place with a relatively complex personnel structure like the Shinnakamura base, and the probability of successfully assassinating Su Zheng is also higher.

As long as Su Zheng is assassinated, a fatal blow can be launched against the independent battalion.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Miyano Shun and said, "Miyano-kun, your suggestion is good."

"To deal with this cunning Eighth Route Army, we must adopt unconventional combat methods. Assassination is a good method!"

"I'll leave this matter to you... You will be responsible for selecting the right spies and intelligence personnel to infiltrate Xinzhong Village and wait for an opportunity to sabotage Xinzhong Village, or assassinate the independent battalion commander Su Zheng!"

Miyano Shun nodded repeatedly: "Ha Yi! I will do my best to complete this task!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's face was solemn. He sighed and said slowly, "This air raid failed. I don't know how to report it to Commander-in-Chief Gangcun!"

"This result is truly a shame for our Imperial Army. We were unable to fully utilize our air superiority. This is really hard to explain. Our pressure is even greater!"

Miyano Shun: "What can we do? Report the truth!"

"We must let the other troops of the Imperial Army know that they must not be careless when they encounter the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, and they must not be deceived by the Independent Battalion's number!"

If you encounter other Eighth Route Army troops, you can ignore them, but if you encounter an independent battalion, you must be on high alert.

These are the lessons and experiences that Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano gained after several disastrous defeats.

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded.

Afterwards, Yoshio Shinozuka truthfully reported the results and circumstances of the air raid.

This also shocked Gangcun Ningci.

I didn't expect that there was such a powerful force in the Eighth Route Army. They were able to shoot down six fighter planes without professional air defense weapons. This is definitely not a simple and easy task.

Because the emperor's nephew Yoshikawa Sadaza was killed in the ambush at Hanluo Village, the emperor attached great importance to this matter.

Therefore, Gangcun Ningci was under great pressure.

Now that the air raid has failed, they will certainly not give up, but instead sent a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, asking him to eliminate this independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka had no choice but to agree.

So now all the pressure falls on Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army.

It is worth mentioning that the independent battalion’s outstanding performance in northwestern Shanxi has also attracted the attention of the bigwigs in the mountain city.

When the boss learned that the independent battalion had wiped out more than 200 Japanese officers and a brigade in one battle, he was also quite shocked. He expressed high praise for it and said "good" three times.

What shocked the Yamashiro boss the most was that the independent battalion also killed three generals, including the emperor's nephew.

Such outstanding results and performance are no less than that of a major battle!

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion and Su Zheng have already attracted the attention of the bigwigs in Shancheng.

............

In order to annihilate the independent battalion, Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano developed a total of three plans.

First, it is the special operations plan of Yamamoto Ikki’s special forces team against the independent battalion headquarters.

The two failed attacks on the Eighth Route Army headquarters made Yamamoto Ikki doubt his life, and the Yamamoto Special Forces was also facing the possibility of disbanding.

Therefore, Yamamoto's special forces' last chance to turn the tide was to attack the independent battalion headquarters.

Now Yamamoto Ikki and the Yamamoto Special Forces are undergoing rigorous training and active preparations. They are constantly collecting relevant intelligence about the Independent Battalion and the Shin-Nakamura base, and are fighting this battle as a turning point.

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

Yamamoto Ikki also knew that this was his last chance. If the attack on the independent battalion headquarters failed, he would have no choice but to commit suicide.

The second operational plan was to prepare to gather heavy troops to besiege the independent battalion’s base, Xinzhongcun base.

The Xinzhongcun base was located in the hinterland of non-enemy-occupied areas and within the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army.

This means that if a large number of troops are gathered to encircle and annihilate the enemy, it is very likely that they will be trapped like dumplings in a backpack, so a detailed combat plan needs to be formulated.

Take many factors into consideration.

Therefore, a plan to gather heavy troops is also being formulated and prepared.

The third combat plan is the assassination strategy suggested by Miyano Shun.

According to the idea proposed by Miyano Shun, professional special intelligence personnel were deployed to the Shinnakamura base.

It can collect intelligence, carry out sabotage operations, and assassinate Su Zheng.

This method is an unconventional combat plan, but sometimes it is a very effective plan.

It's easier to block an open attack than a hidden arrow...that's the truth.

However, to infiltrate the Xinzhongcun base, one needs an extremely outstanding spy.

Otherwise, it would be easy to expose your identity as soon as you enter the base.

This battle plan was mainly led by Miyano Shun.

Miyano Shun is now starting to select suitable spies.

This is also a rather troublesome job.

It also requires a certain amount of preparation time.

Simply put, Yoshio Shinozuka's three combat plans against the independent battalion are all in preparation.

It cannot be implemented in a short time.

Moreover, Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano must have made sufficient preparations to be able to kill Su Zheng's independent battalion with one blow.

A three-pronged approach.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano just didn't believe that they couldn't eliminate a battalion of the Eighth Route Army!

...........garden.

Xinzhongcun base.

The Japanese air raid did not have a great impact on the entire base, the losses were not great, and the casualties were very small.

This was also thanks to Su Zheng's foresight, who deployed an anti-aircraft firepower network in advance and repelled the Japanese air raids and bombings.

Otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

If there were no Gatling guns and anti-aircraft firepower networks, the entire base would probably have been ruthlessly bombed by the Japanese army, and the entire village would have been engulfed in explosions and fire.

But now the Xinzhongcun base has avoided this situation.

time flies.

On this day, the three-month deadline for Li Yunlong's military order has arrived...

PS: This is for automatic subscriptions. If you have a custom subscription or a reward, I will continue to add more.

Chapter 193: The three-month deadline is up! The new group becomes a strengthened group! (First update, please subscribe)

Three months is not a long time.

It's not too short to say the least.

Soon the three-month deadline for Li Yunlong to sign the military order arrived.

At the beginning, Li Yunlong made a solemn vow to develop the independent battalion of only two or three hundred people into a reinforced regiment of more than five thousand people within three months.

Now the three-month deadline has expired.

It's time to check out the new group's development.

However, according to the current situation, the New 1st Regiment has developed to the level of a reinforced regiment.

But it has not reached the scale of more than 5,000 people.

This is somewhat different from the mission of the military order.

..............

Xinzhongcun base.

Although we encountered bombing attacks from the Japanese.

However, the impact on the independent camp and Xinzhongcun base was relatively small.

With the corrections and adjustments made by the local people and soldiers, the Xinzhongcun base soon returned to normal.

Independent camp department.

All military cadres at the battalion and company level and above gathered in the conference room for the meeting.

Su Zheng looked at Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Li Dabenshi and the others present and said, "I'm sure everyone has experienced the Japanese air raids the past two days!"

"We are still somewhat weak in air defense now. We don't have professional air defense weapons and skills, but this does not mean that using machine guns for air defense is not feasible!"

"This time we used machine guns to build a firepower network for air defense, and finally repelled the Japanese air raid!"

"So next I will issue an air defense training manual to each company to help them defend against the Japanese air raids and bombings!"

For many soldiers in the independent battalion, this should be the first Japanese air raid they encountered.

Therefore, everyone will feel flustered, nervous and at a loss.

This is quite normal.

Now Su Zheng is developing an air defense training manual for infantry to use to deal with Japanese air raids.

The name of this tactic is also very simple, it is called concentrated fire tactics.

Throughout World War II, due to limitations in aircraft technology, fighter planes had to dive to attack the ground.

That is, dive to lower the altitude and then carry out bombing or machine gun attack!

When a fighter plane is diving downward rapidly, looking from the bottom up, it is naturally in a relatively static state.

The fighter planes are easier to aim at at this time!

Even people on the ground can see the plane's engine and cockpit if they look up.

If you seize the opportunity and concentrate your firepower at this moment, you can definitely kill the pilot and destroy the plane's engine.

In addition, fighter jets usually fly at relatively low altitudes when performing missions, which provides the possibility of shooting down aircraft with rifles and machine guns.

At the same time, the fighter planes of this era could not withstand the shooting of machine guns, rifles and other weapons.

Except for some key parts that are reinforced with steel plates, other aircraft parts are made of iron or steel, and bullets will leave bullet holes.

The four fighter planes that returned from the Japanese air raid on Xinzhongcun had many bullet holes on their fuselages, which were caused by machine gun fire.

However, shooting at aircraft with rifles, machine guns, etc. is expressly prohibited by many military units.

For example, the Eighth Route Army also had clear regulations that no one could use weapons to shoot at aircraft without orders.

There is a reason for doing this.

Because if you shoot at planes while the troops are advancing, if you fail to hit the key parts of the plane, it would be a complete waste of bullets and would not have much effect.

Moreover, if you open fire rashly, you will expose your target and attract enemy aircraft to carry out more intense bombing, attacks, shooting, and strikes.

There is another reason, that is, the bullets fired into the air will also cause casualties to people on the ground after they fall to the ground.

After all, the bullet has speed and attack power when it hits the ground.

Even the German army during World War II had very clear regulations: no matter how fiercely the enemy planes bombed and attacked, no personnel were allowed to use light weapons to shoot at enemy planes without orders.

Of course...the reason why the German army has such a rule is that they feel it is impossible to shoot down a high-speed flying aircraft with rifles and machine guns.

But it does not mean that rifles and machine guns cannot be used for air defense and shooting down aircraft.

In some cases, it is possible to concentrate fire on air strikes.
