Shen Quan gasped.

1 reinforced squadron of little devils plus an infantry regiment of the Imperial Army, that number is already quite a lot, no matter how little this infantry regiment of the Imperial Association Army is, there are 1,000 people, the normal 1,500 to 2,000 people, counting the little devils, at least more than 1,200 people, and more than 2,000 people.

Shen Quan calculated the enemy's strength a little, and his heart was a little drumming.

Gao Jianwu's concentration of 4 infantry detachments and artillery detachments, more than 800 people fighting 2,000 little devils and two devils coalition army, is there really no problem?

You must know that although the Imperial Association Army in Pingcheng is a relatively stretched cannon fodder unit among the little devils, the source is complicated, there are part of the mutiny teams of the original Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army, as well as the bandits and traitors who have been recruited.

Compared with those imperial armies that were reorganized from the Jin Sui Army, the Northwest Army, or the original local security regiments in North China, the combat effectiveness was weaker.

But with the help of the little devils, the equipment of the entire regiment is not bad, at least it is better than the main regiment of the 8th route.

At the platoon level there is at least one machine gun and one grenadier canister, and a company is three light machine guns; The battalion has a platoon of heavy machine guns and a platoon of mortars, that is, 3 heavy machine guns and 3 60mm mortars.

The regiment also had a machine gun and mortar company, 9 heavy machine guns, 2 small 90-mm steel cannons, and 6 81-mm mortars.

This strength is quite good, at least the independent regiment will not take the initiative to knock them hard until they receive the gift package from Gao Jianwu, unless they meet on a narrow road.

What's more, there is at least one squadron of little devils to reinforce the squadron, then there are 9 machine guns and 3 heavy machine guns, 9 grenadiers, and maybe even a cannon squad of 2 92 infantry guns or 4 small 90mm steel cannons.

So the heavy firepower of the reinforcements to the east of the little devil may be 36 light machine guns, 21 heavy machine guns, 9 grenadiers, 9 60mm mortars, 6 81mm mortars and 6 small 90mm steel cannons or 2 small 90 mm steel cannons + 2 92 infantry guns!

The Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade did not come this time, and there was not a single heavy machine gun.

In terms of light machine guns, 48 units in 4 infantry detachments; Artillery, 36 grenadiers, 12 60-mm mortars, 10 81-mm mortars, 6 81-mm mortars and 4 90-mm small steel guns, plus 1 92 infantry gun.

This gap in firepower of 21 heavy machine guns can only be made up by the numerical superiority of grenadiers and mortars.

But does this really work?

Shen Quan expressed his worries, Gao Jianwu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Old Shen, if you can't do it, you have to do it." ”

"The terrain I have chosen to block in the west is suitable for blocking but not for annihilation, because the terrain is narrow and not conducive to the deployment of troops; In the area I chose in the east, 4 infantry detachments can divide and surround the little devil reinforcements on a road of several hundred meters.

For the Imperial Army, after defeating their heavy firepower, their will to fight is much worse than that of the little devils, and we have hope to defeat them or eat them in one bite!

Lao Shen, our Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade has improved its combat effectiveness a lot after the cadres have been strengthened and the training has been carried out in the recent period.

We have no choice but to concentrate 4 infantry detachments and artillery detachments to annihilate or defeat the gendarmerie brigade and the infantry regiment of the Imperial Allied Army in Pingcheng in the east first!

In this way, there is a chance to turn to the west and block the devil reinforcements for more than a day, so that the transport brigade has time to transport it back.

This time, no matter how hard it is, I have to grit my teeth!

As for the enemy in the west, the first wave of reinforcements from the little devils from the Mianshan Fortress will require Lao Shen to take the fifth and sixth detachments of infantry to take a look. ”

"You need to hold out until the battle in the east is over, and then return to the west to help, and find a way to intersperse and eat the first reinforcements from the west of the little devil! Then consider blocking a new round of reinforcements from the little devils layer by layer, until the transport brigade safely retreats back to the base area. ”

Gao Jianwu's plan was very rough, after all, when he came out, he didn't expect the current situation at all.

If it was an ordinary military column, the little devils probably wouldn't be so crazy, at most the little devils in Pingcheng and Mianshan Fortress came out and walked through the motions, which is why two detachments were originally prepared to block it.

But now they have to harden nearly 3,000 little devils and two devils, and their strength is far beyond expectations, three times that of the Dagushan guerrilla brigade!

This is not the ultimate operation of the total annihilation!

The little devils from the west may seem to have a small number, but they are all elite field wing devils, and the 2 squadrons plus the attached machine gun squad and the artillery squad are also a hard bone, plus the preset terrain can't be opened.

It's a bit difficult to eat the reinforcements from the west first.

Now that time is tight, there is no time to find another blocking position.

Therefore, Gao Jianwu chose the Eastern Front to open a breakthrough, after all, he felt that the Imperial Association Army was still better to fight.

On the side of the Imperial Cooperative Army, they will only fight with the wind, and their will to fight is the weakest, and under the conditions of ambush in advantageous terrain, Gao Jianwu feels that 1000 two devils can't even catch up with the little devils of a squadron!

In particular, Gao Jianwu's own estimation of the artillery superiority made good use of the Imperial Allied Army, which was facing the headwind of indiscriminate bombardment from the beginning.

Of course, this is the ideal situation.

It is also the winner of the victory.

But will the little devils in Pingcheng pull out the two devils of the Imperial Association Army as the main force as Gao Jianwu thought?

Shen Quan swallowed a mouthful of water with difficulty, Gao Jianwu's plan was too risky.

However, for the Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade, with this strength and conditions, it is really a little stretched to face so many enemies, but there is no other way.

"It's done!" Shen Quan is also a ruthless person, knowing that the enemy is strong, but he has no choice but to send an arrow.

That batch of materials and equipment is too important for Dagushan and even for the entire 8th Road.

Even if the Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade was disabled, Shen Quan felt that it was worth it, if it wasn't for the rush of time, he would have sent someone to Zhao Jiayu and even the brigade headquarters to ask for reinforcements.

Now I can only look at it first.

Although Gao Jianwu's plan is a bit risky, he envisages defeating or even annihilating the little devils on the eastern front in a short period of time, and then turning back to block the reinforcements on the western front.

But even if things are different, and Gao Jianwu's side is deadlocked, Shen Quan feels that it should not be a big problem to withstand the little devils on the eastern front.

But their own Western Front?

Shen Quan's blood surged upward, and his face was a little distorted, but he was forced to press down again. He thought of a great question.

"Lao Gao, how can we replenish ammunition in this bloody battle?"

At the time of departure, 2,000 rounds per machine gun and 200 rounds per soldier were carried.

Fighting a battle is not a big problem, but is this a battle that can be solved now?

When Shen Quan thought of persevering for a day, his face changed again, and today he learned the stunts of Sichuan Opera without a teacher.

This question is too important, how many battles Shen Quan has fought and how many losses he has suffered from insufficient ammunition.

In the face of an advantageous enemy, if you lose the support of ammunition, everything is empty talk, his two infantry detachments, that is not food delivery?
