Chapter 901: Create Your Own Opportunities (Part 3!) )
"Regiment commander, the devils on the front line are all veterans of the battlefield, and their vigilance is very high, and the entire station is full of their light and dark sentries and patrols, and our people have almost no way to get close to them, so they can only use binoculars to observe from a distance on this high ground!" Li Wen pointed to the Japanese garrison a few kilometers away, where there was no edge at a glance.
After speaking, he handed Wang Ping a telescope.
Then he continued to report: "After observing in the morning, we judged that the devil should set off tomorrow!" ”
"The wagons and cars they had prepared were loaded with supplies and were now being hung with artillery in the back of the cars. If it weren't for the departure, they wouldn't have hung the cannon in the car so quickly. Otherwise, in case of an emergency, they will need to take a long time to be ready for battle! ”
"Not bad!" Wang Ping nodded in affirmation.
Although several kilometers had passed, Wang Ping, who was holding a telescope in his hand, could clearly see that a heavy mountain gun of 105 mm caliber was carried by seven or eight devil artillerymen, and it took nearly two minutes before it was hung up in the car compartment.
After hanging the artillery, these devil gunners did not forget to put a gun jacket on the long barrel of the artillery, trying to ensure that the gun was in the best condition.
Seeing this, Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What a cannon......"
"With such a large-caliber artillery, a single shell will definitely blow up a large area. If our new regiment can have a battalion of such artillery, even if I encounter a brigade of little devils on the battlefield, I will have the courage to fight with them! ”
Li Wen next to him also had his eyes shining: "Regiment leader, you will definitely be able to capture it!" ”
"The devil's heavy artillery wing has thirty-six of these guns, I've counted them. As long as we figure it out, there will definitely be a chance! ”
Wang Ping did not answer, but fell into deep thought.
"Li Wen, how many cars are equipped in this division of the devil, and what are the number of big cars, armored vehicles, and tanks!"
Wang Ping's mind was spinning too fast, Li Wen couldn't keep up with his train of thought at all, and was stunned for several seconds before he reacted.
"Commander, there are nearly two hundred cars...... More than five hundred large vehicles, twenty armored vehicles and twenty tanks each......"
"The devil's division has a very high degree of mechanization!" Wang Ping said such a sentence inexplicably.
Before Li Wen could react, he ordered the commander of the first company of the assault battalion behind him: "Company Commander Yang, take your people and carry out devastating damage to the road that the devil must pass to Linfen." If you don't have enough manpower, ask the nearby folks to help, and we will pay to destroy these roads! ”
"Tell everyone, at most half a month, we will restore these damaged roads to their original state!"
Li Wen's eyes lit up at first, but in just a few seconds, his brows furrowed again and he reminded.
"Commander, I thought about this a few days ago. However, I don't think it has much effect! ”
"There are too many devils, and there is a wing of sappers alone. This engineering wing is also equipped with a number of construction vehicles. Even if we destroy the road, at the speed at which the devil sapper wing repairs the road, it won't take long to repair it, at most we can only slow down their marching speed, and if we want to delay them for ten days, it is simply impossible! ”
"Then kill this engineering wing!" Wang Ping replied with murderous anger in his eyes.
Li Wen's brows furrowed even more deeply, and he asked with a puzzled expression, "How to kill them?" There are so many infantry guards near the devil sapper wing, and there are even more than 2,000 cavalry patrolling around, we don't even have a chance to get close to them! ”
"In addition, the devil also has a chariot brigade, even if we have the opportunity to get close to the main force of the devil, there is no way to break through the interception of the devil's chariot brigade. Moreover, there are plains on both sides of the road, which is very suitable for cavalry assault, and our people will be wiped out by the devil cavalry if they can't even break through the interception of the devil cavalry wing! Wang Ping did not refute: "The engineer wing is sandwiched between the infantry, and we definitely have no chance to kill them." That's why I asked Company Commander Yang to completely destroy the road in front of me and asked the commander of the Devil Division to send sappers to repair the road. This will give us a chance to separate the Devil Sapper Wing from their main force and find a way to kill them! ”
The devil is stationed, in the tent where the division headquarters is located, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Ito, is furious.
For a few days, the actions of his subordinates, especially the baggage wing, made him very annoyed.
Nearly 3,000 people of the baggage wings, plus the baggage squadrons under each wing, were busy for several days before loading all the troops' combat supplies for half a month!
If they are also at this speed in the next battle. By the time the imperial army had been killed, the enemy would have already run away, and what kind of battle would there be.
"Division commander, now all the supplies have been loaded and ready to go at any time!" Although the captain of the baggage wing was very aggrieved, he could only hold it in his stomach, hesitated, and replied in a low voice.
You must know that the materials he needs to prepare this time are not only a division, but also a heavy artillery wing, a chariot brigade, and a cavalry wing!
Although their strength is not large, the amount of supplies and food they need to consume every day is comparable to that of the entire division.
This meant that he had to rely on one wing of baggage troops to transport all kinds of supplies needed by the main force and two divisions.
More importantly, in peacetime troop operations, the baggage wing only needs to carry ten days of combat provisions. As for the follow-up combat supplies, they all relied on the baggage troops to re-transport supplies. Now that there are five more days of combat supplies all of a sudden, the pressure on the baggage wing can be imagined.
However, in front of the angry division commander, as a subordinate, he did not have the guts to explain!
Lieutenant General Ito's face looked a lot better with the compromise and answer of the captain of the baggage wing, and he turned to the chief of staff next to him and asked, "Are the other troops ready?" ”
"The main forces, the engineering troops, the cavalry units, the artillery units, the tank units are all ready and ready to go!" The chief of staff hastened to answer, not daring to slack off.
"Yo Xi!" Lieutenant General Ito's face looked even better.
After a moment's hesitation, he made a decision: "Order, the troops will attack on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" ”
"The 1st Brigade, the 1st Squadron of the Cavalry Wing, and the 1st Armored Squadron of the Tank Brigade, form the forward force, and Yoshida Nakasa will command it, and it will set off on time at eight o'clock."
"Behind the Fourth Infantry Wing, other troops will move in the center with the division and regimental headquarters!"
"The 5th Cavalry Wing patrolled the perimeter of the troops in squadrons. The Eighth Route Army was too cunning and very good at sneak attacks. The cavalry must ensure that there is no Eighth Route Army within two kilometers on both sides of the road, so as to minimize the possibility of them sneaking up on us! ”
"In addition, if you encounter a sneak attack on the troops of the Eighth Route Army during the march, the cavalry wing will directly counterattack with the cavalry brigade as a unit and kill them, but you must remember that the troops cannot go deep alone!"
"Also, contact the air force tonight, the plane sent by the air force must go above us at eight o'clock, carry out air patrol and cover for us, and try to kill Linfen as smoothly as possible and recapture Linfen!"
