Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Disparity in Strength

"Regiment Commander, with all due respect, if we are really a regular wing of devils on the opposite side, we will not be able to hold the Epiphany Temple position! I'm not raising the enemy's morale to destroy my own prestige, and I'm not afraid of death! Our current position, the Epiphany Temple, is open and there is no danger to defend. The devil has tanks, armored vehicles, and armored troops, and once they break through our positions, they will be flattened, and we will not be able to stop them at all, only to die in battle! What's more, there are also devils' artillery units, and even before we have a short encounter with devils, more than half of them have been damaged! An officer said bluntly.

"Regiment commander, the commander of the first battalion is right, as far as our regiment is concerned, the number of people is only about 1,000 people, and the equipment is far from the same, our regiment does not have a few decent machine guns, let alone artillery or something. The regular establishment of a wing of the devil is 3,800 people, and it includes a command of 54 people; a convoy of 121 men, carrying a day's rations for each regimental headquarters and a direct company, as well as a field kitchen for possibly subordinate divisions; An 81-man ammunition squad carries a day's worth of ammunition. Three infantry battalions contained 108 light machine guns, 36 heavy machine guns; An artillery squadron of 122 people. Artillery squadron with 122 men, including 1 squadron headquarters of 25 people, 1 observation detachment, 1 ammunition squad of 31 people, 3 artillery squads of 31 men (each artillery squad has 2 artillery detachments of 15 people, armed with a 70-mm 92 infantry gun). A very small number of wings had an artillery brigade of 364 men and two squadrons of 170 men (mountain and infantry) with 4 guns each. The wing is an anti-tank squadron of 122 people, including a 20-man squadron head, a 21-man ammunition squad, and three 33-man artillery squads (each with two 37-mm anti-tank guns). The communications squadron has a telephone squad (4 to 6 telephone detachments, 3 telephones per detachment, and an exchange), a radio squadron (5 to 8 radio stations), and telephone and radio stations are assigned to the brigades and subordinate units during the battle. The health system of the wing is very weak, with only 2 doctors and 2 hygienists in the wing, 3 doctors and 4 hygienists in the brigade and 4 hygienists in the squadron. With such a big gap, it is difficult to hold the Temple of Epiphany! Another officer added.

"Damn, labor and management are the way for you to talk about holding your position, who the hell let you talk so much nonsense! If anyone thinks that this battle can't be won, stand up for labor and management! Wang Biao glanced at everyone present lightly and said calmly.

"Swear to live and die with the position!" Everyone in the audience shouted without hesitation.

"Good! Very good! You all listen to labor and management, don't say that there is a wing of devils, even the devils of ten wings, we will be crucified here! Even if you fight to the point of a single soldier, you are not allowed to give labor and management half a step back! Wang Biao slapped the table, and two rays of light shot out of the tiger's eyes and roared.

"Fight to the end!"

Everyone involuntarily stood up, held their heads high, and shouted in unison.

"Commander, I have a suggestion that may be of some use." Just as everyone sat down, Zhang Weiguo got up abruptly and said.

"Say—"

"The biggest threat to us from the devil is the artillery unit, and the devil transmits the message to the artillery is the artillery school balloon, as long as we knock out the devil's artillery school balloon, the devil artillery is blind without eyes, and it cannot pose a threat to us. At that time, we will have a white-knuckle battle with the devils, and it is not impossible to hold out until reinforcements arrive. Zhang Weiguo roughly said his suggestion.

"That's right, labor and management hate that bullshit balloon now, and he doesn't know how many of his brothers died because of that thing! What you said said is in my heart, tomorrow you will take someone to shoot down that bullshit balloon to labor and management, and give the devil some color to see! Wang Biao clapped his hands and directly agreed with Zhang Weiguo's suggestion.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Zhang Weiguo straightened up and saluted a standard military salute.

"Wait-" Lin Feng said suddenly.

"What the hell does your turtle son have any other ideas? Hurry up! Wang Biao's eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

Lin Feng organized the language for a while, and said: "Company Commander Zhang is right, the devil's artillery fire is indeed a great threat to us, but just knocking out an artillery school balloon is only a symptom rather than a cure, we should take the initiative to attack, and the best defense is to attack, why don't we follow suit!" ”

"No, it's even more difficult for us to defend, if we take the initiative to attack, isn't it faster to lose the position?" As soon as Lin Feng's words fell, an officer couldn't help but directly object.

"That's right, we can't take the initiative!" Other officers chimed in.

"What's the point, don't fucking hide it!" Wang Biao tried his best to disagree with the crowd, staring at Lin Feng with burning eyes.

Lin Feng nodded and continued: "The disparity between our strength and the devil is too big now, if we fight head-on, everyone will know the result!" If you want to win, you have to win by surprise. Since we all know that taking the initiative is almost self-defeating, then the devil must also know this, and the devil will definitely think that we dare not take the initiative. This is our chance, we have to surprise the devils with a sneak attack, then the devils will definitely lose, because the devils are defenseless at all!

Of course, we also have to choose the most suitable place for sneak attack when we take the initiative to attack, and it is also the place that poses the greatest threat to us, that is, the devil artillery position, as long as we solve the devil artillery, we can not only defend the Epiphany Temple, but even recover more places!

Although I don't know how many artillery balloons the devil has, I'm sure there is definitely more than one, and even if we knock out one, another will rise, and it won't do much to the whole battlefield. The main thing is that the artillery school balloon is not only very high, but also behind the devil's position, it is simply impossible to shoot it down easily!

However, I don't know where the devil's artillery position is, and I have to send someone to reconnoiter to find out. But what I know for sure is that the artillery position of the devil must be hidden not far from the position of the Epiphany Temple, because the artillery configuration of a wing is six Type 92 infantry guns, and this kind of gun cannot have a long range. We can start our reconnaissance from the woods around the Temple of Epiphany, where the artillery positions are extremely hidden, and the woods are the best place to hide.

In addition, since the artillery position is the killer weapon of the devil, it must be heavily defended. Even if we detect an artillery position, it is not so simple to destroy. However, we only have one chance, we must succeed in one battle, otherwise the devils are on guard, and we will not be able to sneak attack again! ”

"Your plan is good, but it's too late now, and we don't know where the devil's artillery position is! In this way, we will temporarily follow Zhang Weiguo's plan, and at the same time send a reconnaissance team to investigate the location of the devil's artillery position, once the location of the artillery position is found, we will blow it up at all costs! Now each of them returns to their positions to prevent the devils from sneaking up! ”

"Commander—"

"Execute the order!"
