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

But the casualties are definitely heavy.

Given a choice, no one wants to fight a battle where the outnumbered win.

Because battles where the outnumbered side wins over the larger side are usually very tragic and result in heavy casualties.

This is a fierce battle, and Su Zheng will definitely not be stupid enough to use only one company to attack Xinfengkou.

That doesn't make sense.

After a pause, Su Zheng continued, "There is another reason... that is, our independent battalion has expanded rapidly in the past month or so, and has received a lot of new recruits!"

"This Xinfengkou Battle is also a means of testing the combat effectiveness of our entire battalion, and also a means of testing our new tactics!"

The success of a fighting army does not depend on the number of people, but on its combat effectiveness.

Su Zheng looked at everyone present and said, "So our entire battalion will be dispatched for this Xinfengkou battle!"

"My battle plan is this. Tomorrow night, except for some soldiers who stay behind to guard the base, all soldiers in the battalion will march overnight and must arrive at Xinfengkou before six o'clock the next day!"

"Secondly, this time we will mainly verify our infantry-tank coordination tactics and blitzkrieg strategy and tactics!"

Blitzkrieg tactics?

Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Yang Zhihua and others heard of this tactic for the first time.

Seeing this man looking a little confused, Su Zheng explained, "The so-called blitzkrieg is to use the lightning-fast advantages of mechanized forces such as airplanes, tanks, armored vehicles, motorcycles, etc. to defeat the enemy by surprise attack."

“Generally speaking, the first step of a blitzkrieg is to gain air superiority and paralyze the enemy’s command system, thereby launching a rapid offensive.”

Blitzkrieg is a combination of surprise and quick attacks that will strike the enemy like lightning!"

"When we defeat the enemy at lightning speed, the enemy's morale will be low, and they will also face tremendous pressure and easily lose the ability to resist. Therefore, the essence of blitzkrieg is speed!"

"Our current level of mechanization is just beginning, but that doesn't mean we can't use blitzkrieg tactics."

Lei Zifeng, Zhou Weiguo, Sun Desheng, Liu Dazhuang, Li Deming and others understood a little after listening to Su Zheng's explanation.

Although the German army used blitzkrieg tactics when attacking Poland, not many people truly understood and were familiar with this tactic.

Su Zheng looked at everyone present and continued, "This time we are going to use blitzkrieg tactics to capture Xinfengkou as quickly as possible."

"First, the artillery company will provide fire cover for the front battlefield of Xinfengkou, and the independent battalion and tank company will advance in a coordinated manner!"

"When the tank company and the independent battalion were about to approach the Japanese position defense line, the cavalry company attacked, using its strong mobility advantage to tear open the Japanese and puppet troops' position defense line in a flash."

"After the Japanese and puppet troops' defense line is torn open, the remaining companies will immediately launch an offensive charge and rush forward in one go to completely eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops at Xinfengkou and end the battle quickly!"

"In this battle, there will be no feints, only main attacks!"

"Yes!"

Everyone present responded loudly.

Afterwards, Su Zheng, Zhou Weiguo, Xu Yang, Li Dabenshi and others began to discuss the detailed battle plan.

The attack on Xinfengkou was not a big battle or a fierce battle for the independent battalion, so they could basically lock in victory in advance.

The only difference is the price at which this victory is achieved.

Afterwards, the independent battalion began preparations for the entire battalion.

For many recruits, if their first actual combat is a rich combat, it will definitely be more beneficial to their growth.

The next day.

night.

Nine o'clock.

The entire independent battalion assembled.

Except for the troops staying behind in the base, all other companies and units gathered and set out for Xinfengkou.

Night march.

This also tests the strength and combat effectiveness of a unit.

buzzing...

Huhuhu......

All the mechanized tools of the independent battalion were deployed.

Tanks, trucks, military tricycles, etc. were all deployed.

At the same time, the artillery company carried all the Type 2 infantry guns, mortars, etc. except for the M1A105 caliber howitzers and Italian guns.

All the soldiers were marching at a forced pace.

The Dragon Soul Special Forces are leading the way as pioneers.

It can be said that the independent battalion’s full-scale attack this time was massive.

Marching at night can ensure concealment very well.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinfengkou still learned about the massive departure of such a large force.

So, when the independent battalion arrived at Xinfengkou at five o'clock, the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinfengkou had already entered the defensive positions fully armed.

Looking forward to it.

The independent battalion’s attack position was three kilometers away from the Xinfengkou defensive position.

All battalions and departments made corrections as quickly as possible.

The artillery company is setting up additional artillery positions.

This time, let the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinfengkou see how the independent battalion fights the war of prosperity.

At the same time, it also better verifies the effectiveness of blitzkrieg and infantry-tank coordinated combat tactics.

It can be said that the independent battalion has basically been developing in a sneaky way up to now, without conquering any cities or continuously recovering and liberating the Japanese-occupied areas.

This is mainly because a good foundation must be laid in the early stages, such as logistical support, base development, etc. These must be well prepared and developed in the early stages, so that it will be convenient to fight wars or take the initiative in the future.

Simply put, the independent battalion had previously focused on developing its forces and defending, and rarely took the initiative to attack.

Now that the independent battalion has grown stronger and stronger, it is preparing to take the initiative.

The attack on Xinfengkou was a battle to test the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion.

In the trench of the attack position, Su Zheng was observing the Japanese and puppet troops at Xinfengkou in front of him with a telescope, and said lightly: "These Japanese and puppet troops really reacted quickly! They were ready for battle so quickly!"

"Monk, turn on the loudspeaker and tell the Japanese and puppet troops on the other side that they have one minute to surrender, or we will destroy them!"

Before officially launching the attack, we'll use a psychological attack on them to undermine their morale and fighting will!

Wei Dayong grinned and said, “Hehehe…I understand the change!”

Then he went down to make arrangements.

The war is about to start.

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

In the trenches of the Xinfengkou position.

Yoshizawa Hirano of Yoshizawa Battalion and Ma Ming of 111th Regiment were observing the battle situation with binoculars at this time. When they saw the Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appearing, they were confused...

PS: Please give me flowers and automatic subscription.

Chapter 363: The boss is shocked: This mechanized unit is an independent battalion? (Second update, please subscribe)

Logically speaking, Xinfengkou is at least fifty kilometers away from the independent battalion's defense zone.

At the same time, Xinfengkou is located in the enemy-occupied area.

Generally speaking, it is relatively safe.

The anti-Japanese forces will not attack Xinfengkou.

But now so many Eighth Route Army troops appeared outside Xinfengkou, which scared Yoshizawa Hirano of the Yoshizawa Battalion and Ma Ming of the 111th Regiment.

They didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would suddenly attack Xinfengkou.

In the trenches of the fortification position.

Yoshizawa Hirano was looking at the Eighth Route Army troops three kilometers away with a telescope. He was a little confused and said to Ma Ming beside him: "Captain Ma, why are there so many Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appearing?"

"Could it be that they are going to attack our Xinfengkou?"

Ma Ming observed for a moment, put down the telescope and said slowly: "I think this is the situation... I don't know which unit is so bold as to attack Xinfengkou with its strong fortifications!"

Because of the angle and distance, Ma Ming and Yoshizawa Nohei could not see the entire independent battalion of more than 10,000 soldiers, but only a part of it.

Yoshizawa Hirano: "Our Xinfengkou is located in the heart of our defense zone. Now they are attacking our Xinfengkou, that is courting death!"

Ma Ming picked up the telescope again and observed for a while, then said, "Captain Yoshino, should we ask for help?"

Under the current circumstances, Ma Ming was not sure how many people were in this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers.

this is a problem.

Yoshizawa Hirano put down the telescope and said, "Let's not use it for now... We don't know how many people there are on the other side. If I rashly ask for help, where will I, Yoshizawa Hirano, put my face?"

"We have strong fortifications here, and our total force exceeds 2,500 people. I believe we can defend Xinfengkou!"

"Even if there is any problem at our Xinfengkou, it will still be in time for me to ask for help!"

"After all, we 763 are on our own turf."

Ma Ming also felt that what Yoshizawa Hirano said made sense, and nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed... Let's wait and see what happens!"

At this moment, a horn sounded outside.

"Listen to me, Yoshizawa Battalion and the Japanese puppet troops of the 111th Regiment. We are from the New st Regiment Independent Battalion. You have one minute to raise your hands and surrender, or we will break through your defensive positions and leave no one alive!"

"Listen to me, you traitors on the other side, you only have one minute to think..."

Hearing the words coming from the loudspeaker, Ma Ming and Yoshizawa Hirano were stunned.

This...this...the Eighth Route Army unit opposite is actually an independent battalion?

The independent battalion’s defense zone is at least fifty or sixty kilometers away from Xinfengkou!

Why did this independent battalion suddenly want to attack Xinfengkou?

Upon hearing that the Eighth Route Army unit on the opposite side was actually an independent battalion, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches all panicked.

Of course, they knew about the reputation of the independent camp.

The 9th Brigade and the 4th Brigade were both annihilated by the Independent Battalion!

The independent battalion’s reputation and achievements can be said to be well-known throughout northwest Shanxi, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

Now we know that the independent battalion is coming to attack us.

Naturally, there was a sense of fear spreading in the hearts of the Japanese and the traitors.

Especially the puppet army and the traitors.

Their fighting spirit was already low...and now when they heard that the opponent was an independent battalion, they suddenly became a little scared.

fear!

Fear creeps in my heart.

Scared!

I'm really scared!

After all, the Independent Battalion had wiped out the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army more than a month ago!

Such combat power is truly terrifying.

It has to be said that Su Zheng's psychological strategy did have a certain effect.

This at the very least planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Ma Ming also became agitated, and looked at Yoshizawa Hirano and said, "Mr. Yoshizawa, this... this is the Eighth Route Army Independent Battalion!"

"The independent battalion's combat capability is very strong... Otherwise, should we ask for help? If Xinfengkou is lost, neither you nor I can bear the consequences!"

To be honest, Yoshizawa Hirano himself also felt a little scared.

But he also has the arrogance of an imperial soldier.
