Chapter 948: Defense and Offense!

"Your Excellency, General."

"We need anti-tank weapons, a lot of anti-tank weapons."

Kazuki Yamamoto raised his head, looked at Okamura Ninji and said:

"The heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army is certainly troublesome, and we can adopt the tactic of abandoning the forward position."

"But the steel torrent of the Eighth Route Army is coming, and it is absolutely impossible to stop it by relying on the bushido spirit and body of the Locust Army."

Speaking of which, Kazuki Yamamoto thought of the Battle of Nomenkan, which left an indelible mark on him.

And now the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is definitely stronger than that of the Soviet army during the Battle of Nomenkan.

In addition, Kazuki Yamamoto also thought of the anti-human weapon developed by the group of ordnance officers in the base camp - the Type 4 anti-tank piercing mine.

Is that an anti-tank weapon that a man can come up with?

He had obviously snatched the super anti-tank weapon from the Eighth Route Army, and the group of people in the base camp only developed that kind of thing.

Choked Yamamoto Kazuki enough.

A bunch of waste...

Okamura Ninji asked: "What are our anti-tank weapons at the moment?" ”

Kazuki Yamamoto replied: "At present, our anti-tank weapons only have anti-tank stabbing mines and anti-tank mines, as well as having soldiers strapped explosives to drill under the tank. ”

"But it didn't work very well."

"The 37-mm and 47-mm anti-tank guns could only penetrate the defensive armor of the armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, but could not penetrate the defensive armor of the tanks of the Eighth Route Army."

Kazuki Yamamoto, who returned from the front-line battlefield, knew a lot about the defense of armored vehicles and tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

Feng Shui takes turns, at the beginning of the war, when the Japanese army attacked the Chinese army with tanks, the Chinese army did not even have piercing mines and anti-tank mines, and could only use meat bullets to impact.

But now, in the face of the thick tanks of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese soldiers can only use the impact tactics of meat bullets.

Not to mention the poor effect, it is possible to destroy a tank of the Eighth Route Army by filling in a large number of soldiers.

"In this matter, I will respond to the base camp and ask the base camp to give us anti-tank weapons as soon as possible."

Okamura Ninji said that he had no other way.

"Your Excellency, I heard that recently Germany has invented an anti-tank weapon called Iron Fist, which is very powerful."

"My classmates in Germany told me that this was a man-in-one anti-tank weapon, which the German soldiers called a tank killer."

Kazuki Yamamoto said.

After serving as the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Yamamoto Kazuki's status rose rapidly, and he contacted his German classmates through some means.

However, due to various limitations, Yamamoto Kazuki only knew that there was such a weapon, only its performance, and he had not even seen a picture.

"Oh?" Okamura Ningji's expression moved, "The Germans actually have this kind of weapon?" ”

However, Okamura Ninji quickly looked gloomy and said: "Even if the German army has this kind of technology, most of them will not give it to the Reich." ”

Although Japan and Germany are allies, there are only interests between countries.

Most likely, the Germans will not give Japan anti-tank technology in vain.

"Your Excellency, General."

"I did not expect Germany to provide the technology for anti-tank weapons."

"But we can imitate it, the Empire's ordnance department can load the stabbing mine with propellant, isn't it an iron fist?"

Kazuki Yamamoto suggested, providing an idea for Okamura Ninji.

Although he became the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Yamamoto Kazuki still had no connections in the upper echelons of the army, let alone the base camp and ordnance department.

However, Okamura Ninji is different, he is an army general of the empire, and he can speak well in front of Tojo Hideji and the locust.

If Okamura Ninji had sent a telegram advising the ordnance department, the hope of success would have been much greater.

"Your Excellency, this is one way."

Youmojingsan said with a moving expression.

After the Japanese ordnance department obtained the bazooka rocket launcher and rockets, the Japanese ordnance department also continued to develop anti-tank rocket launchers.

However, because the bazooka and rocket technology given by the system are too advanced, it is at least ten years ahead of the rocket launcher technology of the US military.

Not to mention the Japanese army, it couldn't develop it at all, and it couldn't even handle the propellant.

The rockets developed by Japan were launched only a few dozen meters away, and they either flew into the sky or directly hit the ground, and they could hit anywhere, or they could not hit the target.

However, it is much easier to launch a stinger mine with a projectile.

Because this thing doesn't need much range, it can be fired from a distance of more than ten meters, and as long as it hits, the armor-piercing strength can reach an astonishing 150 mm, which can destroy the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

"Yo Si."

Okamura Ninji's expression moved:

"I will personally prepare a telegram and send it to the base camp, asking Prime Minister Tojo to personally give an order to the ordnance department."

This matter is very important, and Okamura Ninji can't help but pay some attention to it.

It may not be effective, but how do you know if you don't try it?

If the threat of tanks of the Eighth Route Army can be reduced or even removed, then the pressure on the North China Front will be much less.

If the 100 tanks of the Eighth Route Army can be destroyed, Prime Minister Tojo and the Locust will have to send electricity to commend them.

……

Taiyuan.

The new regimental headquarters.

Since Chu Yunfei led his troops to establish a base in northern Henan, only Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo were left in the regimental headquarters of the new regiment.

But.

The headquarters sent several shrewd and capable combat staff officers to Li Yunlong.

Recently, Zhao Gang has been busy with the political and ideological work of the entire new regiment.

Xing Zhiguo, on the other hand, was in charge of the training of the entire new regiment.

Both of them were busy all day without touching the ground.

Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou were not idle, and were working out an offensive plan with the operational staff officers.

"Chief of Staff Wang, if you were the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ningji, what kind of defensive tactics would you adopt in the face of the attack of about 300,000 main elites of the Eighth Route Army?"

After staring at the map and looking at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, Li Yunlong straightened up and looked at Wang Dehou on the side and asked.

This time for the counterattack in North China, the headquarters has already handed over the combat mission to Li Yunlong.

The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment were also under the command of Li Yunlong.

The troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Jizhong, and Southern Hebei Military Regions assisted in the attack.

The 129th Division was preparing to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army in Henan Province from the direction of northern Henan.

The headquarters had already received information from Li Yunlong, knowing that the Japanese army had reinforced a flying division and eight infantry divisions, and even knew the enemy's number.

The Japanese army increased its forces in North China.

However, the Eighth Route Army is not idle, and the training of new recruits has entered the final stage.

"Regiment Commander, if I were Okamura Ningji and wanted to win the Eighth Route Army, there was only one way."

Wang Dehou thought for a while and said.

"What's the solution?"

Li Yunlong asked with a moving expression.

"That's to send special forces and decapitate you." Wang Dehou pondered carefully, and then replied, "In addition to this method, I can't think of other strategies and tactics that the Japanese army can win against our Eighth Route Army." ”

"That's a way to go."

Li Yunlong smiled slightly, and said:

"But it's a pity, most of the devil's special forces have lost most of them, and there are few special forces."

"And the devil can't get my Li Yunlong's itinerary information."

Now Li Yunlong is already treated at the division level, and his status in the Eighth Route Army is the same level as the division commander, second only to the leaders of the headquarters.

The information on his itinerary is top secret, and he is accompanied by the most elite guard battalion.

And Li Yunlong's own skills and marksmanship are not weaker than a special soldier, and he has the ability to protect himself even if he encounters danger.

"Regiment Leader, if you were Okamura Ninji, how would you fight this battle?"

Wang Dehou smiled and asked rhetorically.

"If I were Okamura Ningji, I wouldn't fight this battle, I would take more than 200,000 Japanese devils and surrender directly to the Eighth Route Army."

Haha laughed, Li Yunlong said.

"Yes, if Okamura Ningji is really a spy of our Eighth Route Army, then Okamura Ningji can directly lead his troops to surrender."

Wang Dehou said.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also had speculations about this.

"To get down to business, if you are asked to lead the Eighth Route Army to attack, how will you attack?"

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and asked.

"Regiment commander, I will attack in three ways, and the attacking troops on the northern route will start from Datong and attack the 1st and 26th divisions of the Japanese army in the Ulanqab and Zhangjiakou areas to recover these two important military towns."

"The attacking troops on the middle road, starting from Jingcheng County along the Zhengtai Line, along Shimen City, Zhengding Attack."

"The attacking troops on the southern road went straight to Lu Province from Hengshui and liberated Lu Province."

"The last three attacking forces converge in the Pingjin area to completely wipe out the North China Front, or drive the remnants of the devils outside the pass."

If the three-way offensive forces are defeated and the strategic convergence is completed in the Pingjin area, the main force of the devils of the North China Front has basically been wiped out.

"Your three-way offensive tactic has merit."

Li Yunlong nodded:

"But we only have 200,000 main forces in our hands, and if we divide them into three routes, the strength of each road will be at least 80,000."

Wang Dehou said: "The pressure on the attacking troops on the north and middle routes is not great, so they can have fewer troops, and the attacking troops attacking Lu Province on the southern route can have more troops. ”

"That's right in Okamura's heart."

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said:

"If I'm Okamura Ningji, I'll ignore your other roads first, I'll gather the main force first and eat your weak road, how do you deal with it?"

"Commander, do you still need to worry about this?" Wang Dehou said, "We have Boss Chen's information, and we have everything under control of Okamura Ningji's every move, and we are afraid that the devils will concentrate their forces to encircle and annihilate our attacking troops?" ”

"Chief of Staff Wang."

"I'm going to criticize you."

"Let's fight, we have to take into account all the worst-case scenarios, what if Boss Chen's intelligence fails, what if Boss Chen doesn't get Okamura Ningji's battle plan?"

"When the time comes, our situation will be passive."

Li Yunlong's expression was serious.

"Yes, Captain."

Wang Dehou's expression was dazed, he didn't dare to refute, and asked:

"Commander, how are you going to attack?"

Li Yunlong stared at the map and pondered for a while, then said, "How to attack?" It depends on how the old devil Okamura Ninji defends, and the offensive battle of the old devil Okamura Ninji is not very good, I don't know how his defensive strategy and tactics are? ”
