Chapter 118: Waterways
Qin Chuan spread out the map, and then pointed to the block where the 38th Wing of the Japanese Army was stationed and said, "Look at the location of this block!" ”
"What's wrong?" Zhang Changshan asked, "Can you still go through the sewer?" ”
Qin Chuan shook his head and said: "We are not familiar with the route of the sewer over there, this time we will not pass through the sewer, take the waterway!" ”
As he spoke, his finger landed on the Suzhou Creek.
At this time, Suzhou Creek turned the neighborhoods on both sides of the river into two worlds.
On one side of the Suzhou Creek is the Public Concession and the French Concession, and on the other side is the war zone where China and Japan have been fighting for months.
Because they were afraid that they would hit shells and bullets into the concession and cause unnecessary international disputes. Therefore, both China and Japan have a tacit understanding to keep the war area away from Suzhou Creek. The streets over there were even intact, with a small group of soldiers guarding them.
And this time, Qin Chuan wanted to use the Suzhou Creek to make a detour back to the rear of the 38th Wing of the Japanese Army.
"Only two elite companies, carrying weapons such as flower traps, detour along the Suzhou Creek back to the rear of the Japanese 38th Wing, and then attack the Japanese command position in the rear!" Qin Chuan said.
"Japanese command?" Wang Daliu's eyes widened, and then he said, "Yingzuo, you are crazy!" Aren't we looking for death when we attack the forward command of the Japanese army? ”
Chen Haochen also said: "Yes, Yingzao, I also think it's too risky to do this.
Although the forward command of the Japanese army is in the rear, its guard force should not be weak, and if we are not careful, we may be caught by the defensive forces of the 38th Wing and the Japanese command! ”
Chen Haochen has always fought conscientiously and will obey any order. But for Qin Chuan's order, he also felt that something was wrong.
Qin Chuan said: "You should think so, as long as we make enough movement, then if you are the forward commander of the Japanese army, in order to ensure safety, should you let the surrounding troops come back!"
Otherwise, the forward positions will be destroyed, and when our 88th Division attacks on all fronts, the blow to the Japanese army will be absolutely fatal! ”
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, everyone also began to think.
"However, they mobilized the 38th Wing to reinforce the forward headquarters, that is, the Japanese troops left in the block, and it is difficult for us to break through their defense line from the front!" Wang Daliu said.
Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "No, it's not from the front, it's from the front and back!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the neighborhood where the Japanese forward headquarters was located and said: "On the side of the 38th Wing of the Japanese Army, once you start to mobilize troops to return for reinforcements, you will immediately make a detour from the side and directly attack the block where the 38th Wing of the Japanese Army is stationed from the rear!"
It's really hard for their defense to break through from the front, but if it's from the side and back at the same time, it's much easier!! ”
After listening to Qin Chuan's words, everyone also began to feel that if this plan could be successfully implemented, maybe it would really be possible to knock down Taihe Street, which was garrisoned by the 38th Wing of the Japanese Army.
However, since it is a plan, there are bound to be unpredictable changes. If something goes wrong in any part of this plan, their offense is likely to fail.
And the troops that broke into the rear of the Japanese army may also be completely annihilated by the Japanese army!
"Battalion, I will take the Ninth Company and break into the rear of the Japanese army!" Zhang Changshan said, "This kind of chaotic war is better at our Ninth Company!" ”
"Our new company is also participating in the attack on the flanks and rear!" Chen Haochen stood up and said.
Qin Chuan thought for a while and said, "Company Commander Chen, your new first company and Wang Daliu's tenth company are both attacking head-on.
The troops that infiltrated the rear of the Japanese flanks were completed by the Ninth Company and the Guards Platoon, and I would personally lead them. When the time comes, you wait for my attack signal! ”
Chen Haochen is a person who absolutely obeys orders, so naturally he has no objections. And Wang Dali is more slippery, he feels that attacking in the front is the safest way, after all, there is a way out.
There was no disagreement between the two, and a simple battle plan had been worked out.
However, this is only a rough outline of the battle plan, and they need more details to add. It includes the specific combat missions of each company, and can even be refined to the platoon level.
Sun Yuanliang did not have much time left for the entire 88th Division to prepare for the attack, and tomorrow evening would be the time for the official attack.
Qinchuan needs to find out the hydrological situation of Suzhou Creek in this day, and at the same time determine the route of the dive.
Because the attack time is tomorrow night, Qin Chuan needs to find out the route when he needs tonight.
Tomorrow night, the attack on Taihe Street, where the 38th Wing of the Japanese Army was stationed, and the 9th Company and the guard platoon led by himself were the core of the entire battle plan.
If there is a slight mistake on their side, then the attack of the entire three battalions will be a complete loss.
Tai Wo Street is different from Ping An Street in that this street is larger in size, with a length of nearly 500 meters. And a block is actually divided into two parts.
The front street and back street of Taihe Street, each area is about the same as Ping'an Street. But correspondingly, the Japanese troops stationed here had a full wing.
Although after the attrition of the battle, they only had two thousand men left in one wing at this time. But this number is still more than twice that of the third battalion.
After discussing the battle plan, Qin Chuan took the soldiers of the guard platoon to the Suzhou River in the second half of the night.
"Liuzi, put everything on!" Qin Chuan said, and put the mask used for diving on his head.
This improvised diving mask allows them to sneak over short distances.
"Can this thing really breathe underwater?" Liuzi fiddled with the mask in his hand and said.
Qin Chuan said: "What are you lying about!" Wearing this thing, you can sneak more than 300 meters in the water. The Japanese occupied a block near the Suzhou Creek, and we had to sneak across this distance to get into the neighborhood behind the Japanese side. ”
These diving equipment were all purchased by Qin Chuan from the Dragon City Flying General System. The price is not very expensive, but it can come in handy at this time for diving in the Suzhou Creek.
The soldiers in the guard platoon are basically soldiers from the south, and most of them are very water-based.
But it was still difficult for some strong men to let them dive more than 300 meters and go directly through the neighborhood where the Japanese army was stationed.
After putting on the diving equipment, Qin Chuan suddenly saw that there was an extra person in the guard platoon.
That person was none other than Nameless, who was standing beside Qin Chuan with a gun on his back at this time.
"Nameless, are you healed?" Qin Chuan asked.
