Command post of the 88th Brigade of the 262nd Division.

Staring at an offensive and defensive map of the Yuhuatai position, Brigade Commander Zhu was making pre-battle deployments with the main commanders participating in the Bright Sword operation.

After glancing at several brigade and regiment-level officers attending the meeting, Brigade Commander Zhu said with a straight face: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, our Nanjing garrison has been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of devils, and the positions everywhere are tight, and our firepower is not as good as the little devils.

The deputy brigade commander on the side also helped: "The current battle situation in various positions is indeed not optimistic, after these few battles, the 4,000 people of our 262nd Brigade are now less than 2,000 people, and the two thousand men and horses still have nearly one-third of the lightly wounded, and the ammunition will not last for three days."

Looking around at the brigade-level officers attending the meeting again, Brigade Commander Zhu said: "What the deputy brigade commander said is right, and according to our current fighting style, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky, and it is not a way to keep guarding the line and waiting for the little devil to fight, there is a good saying!" The best defense is offense. ”

After a little hesitation, Brigade Commander Zhu continued: "For this reason, the military headquarters ordered my 262nd Brigade and 264th Brigade to jointly organize a night raid operation, named "Bright Sword Operation 1937", and each of the two brigades will set aside a reinforced battalion to participate in the raid, with the 264 Brigade serving as a reserve team to participate in the attack and cover when necessary, while our 262nd Brigade will take the lead in the main attack task, responsible for breaking through the devil's camp head-on. ”

After talking a lot, Brigade Commander Zhu asked again: "Everyone, do you have anything to add to this operation?"

At this time, Lao Wu of the 523rd Regiment got up and responded: "Brigade seat, the devil's blocking fire is a hard stubble, we just swarm into the devil's camp, I'm afraid we will suffer a lot!" ”

Nodding, Brigade Commander Zhu said: "It's not that I haven't considered this problem, no, I have already transferred 4 mortars to the reinforced battalion to enhance the covering firepower."

Frowning, Lao Wu questioned: "I'm afraid there is no problem with weapons, but I still think that the little devil grenadier mortar or something is not vegetarian, and it will be enough for us to drink a pot when the time comes?"

Regiment Commander Wu's worries were not unreasonable, if the sneak attack was not successful, the two reinforced battalions would inevitably steal chickens and lose a handful of rice, and the defensive strength of the entire Yuhuatai would have to be greatly reduced.

After a little hesitation, Brigade Commander Zhu said with a straight face: "Then what do you say, we can't give up our actions because we are afraid of losses!" There will always be sacrifices in battle, we must not be afraid of death, carry forward the spirit of revolutionary soldiers, and we must give the little devil a little blood in this operation! ”

Brigade Commander Zhu's bravery is worthy of praise.

But it's not a way to hit the little devil's position like this.

This tactic of killing 1,000 enemies and inflicting 800 self-losses will only kill more soldiers.

Standing up, Liang Shanhao said in a sullen voice: "Luzao, I have a plan, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Seeing that Liang Shanhao, who was the best at fighting, spoke, Brigade Commander Zhu said: "You kid, just say what you have to say!" If you have good tactical advice, I can take it! ”

Moving to the front of the Yuhuatai defense map, Liang Shanhao said with a straight look: "Brigade, you see, if my death squad opens a breakthrough for the reinforced battalion, it will inevitably suffer from the key care of the devil's artillery fire, and if I lead my death squad to sneak into the camp of the Japanese Sixth Division in advance and turn him upside down, and then you two reinforced battalions fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to attack, we will definitely be able to catch the devil by surprise."

His eyes lit up, and Brigade Commander Zhu praised: "This trick is called the combination of inside and outside!" Brigade is a good tactic! ”

With a hint of doubt on his face, Brigade Commander Zhu asked rhetorically, "But how can your death squad do it?" The little devil's camp is heavily guarded! ”

Smiling slightly, Liang Shanhao took out a confident look: "Brigade seat, this is not simple, dress up in disguise and blend into the position of the devil!"

Brigade Commander Zhu was puzzled: "But do your death squad know Japanese?" I heard that the little devil's troops often give orders! ”

Liang Shanhao chuckled: "Japanese is easy to do, I will do it!" Leave the password to me! ”

With a smile on his face, Brigade Commander Zhu said: "Stinky boy, it's really yours, your idea is good, just do it according to your tactics!"

Liang Shanhao said again: "In addition, what suggestions do I have for the attack and defense of the peripheral troops?"

With an eyebrow, Brigade Commander Zhu asked, "Oh, what other fancy intestines do you kid?"

After thinking about it for a while, Liang Shanhao said: "First, the two reinforced battalions must ensure silence before attacking, and they must not startle the snake; Second, we must not start the operation until we see that my death squad has successfully launched a signal attack, so as to ensure the suddenness of the night attack; Third, this battle is mainly based on the living force that kills and injures devils, and you must not fall in love with war; Fourth, the task of covering the retreat could be carried out in coordination between my death squad and the reinforced battalion of the 264 Brigade. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Brigade Commander Zhu smiled and said, "It's really condescending for you to be the commander of the infantry regiment, I think it's almost the same as my brigade commander for you!"

Liang Shanhao put on a modest look: "Don't dare to be a brigade, this is just a little suggestion from me!"

With a pretending to be angry, Brigade Commander Zhu scolded with a smile: "You kid, don't pretend to be modest in front of me, saying that you are a genius, you are really a fucking genius." Deputy Brigade Commander, write down Commander Liang's suggestion just now, and inform the 264th Brigade to do so. ”

The deputy brigade commander replied: "Yes!"

After looking around at the brigade-level officers attending the meeting again, Chief Zhu opened his voice and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are taking the initiative to attack this battle, and I am afraid that many brothers will not be able to come back this time!" But as Chinese soldiers, we are shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the homeland and defending the country, and if we don't charge into battle, who will charge into battle! Everybody! In this battle, we must play the prestige of the 88th Division, and we must let the little devils see that the Chinese soldiers are not bad! Guys, do you have faith? ”

The officers suddenly stood up and shouted, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Shed the last bit of blood for the city of Nanjing! The battle was fought to the last soldier. ”

At 2:42 a.m., a trench of the 1st Regiment was prepared.

Twelve neatly draped daredevils lined up in a line and waited for the action order of the commander Liang Shanhao.

In addition to an MP40 submachine gun, each team member also had 300 rounds of ammunition, a white phosphorus bomb, a time bomb and a gas mask.

In terms of individual firepower, it is definitely one of the best.

In order to achieve the tactical purpose of fishing in troubled waters, all the daredevils changed into the Japanese army's Showa 5-style military uniforms and wore 90-style steel helmets.

Of course, each team member also holds the devil's standard weapon, the Type 38 rifle, and his own weapon is also hidden in an inconspicuous place.

Carefully explaining that the two battalion commanders had defended their positions, Liang Shanhao, who was also wearing a Japanese-style military uniform, walked quickly in front of the twelve daredevils: "Wang Da Niu, put the red hair of the 12 altar daughters."

Holding a jar of daughter red in his hand, the twelve daredevils looked at Liang Shanhao with blazing eyes.

Also holding a jar of daughter red, Liang Shanhao raised his voice and shouted: "Brother, tonight's battle is a battle of life and death, and I have made the specific actions clear!" Are you scared now? If you can, you can ask me! I'm going to change people right away! ”

This is a very risky small squad infiltration tactic, and if you don't do it well, all fourteen people will be buried in the hands of the little devils.

This is the first time to participate in such an infiltration operation, and Liang Shanhao, as the military commander, must cheer them up.

It was like a group of battle-hardened veterans, and the twelve murderous death squads shouted: "Tuanza! No! ”

With a satisfied face, Liang Shanhao opened his voice and shouted: "Okay, it's all good!" Come! As the saying goes, wine strengthens people's courage, and after drying this jar of wine, we will teach the little devil to be a man tonight. ”

Seeing that Liang Shanhao drank all the daughter red in the jar, the twelve death team members, including the guard Wang Daniu, drank the daughter red in the altar together.

Bang dang! Bang dang! Bang dang! Bang dang......

Seeing the wine jars smashed to the ground, Liang Shanhao carried an MP40 submachine gun and shouted: "All of them!" Let's go!!! ”

In the darkness of the night, wearing all Showa 5-style military uniforms, an elite detachment of 14 people climbed out of the Yuhuatai position and marched towards the position of the Sixth Division.

They are the sharp knives of this Operation Bright Sword.

And the devil's heavy artillery and other artillery are the heart, and they want to kill this heart and fire the first shot of the night attack for the two reinforced battalions of the 88th Division.

Under the rain flower stage, the cold wind is cold.

A night raid is coming.
