Chapter 244: Deploy the position
Sakata Nobuzawa was full of confidence, he didn't know the route he had chosen, and he was already exposed to He Jiaming's sight at this time.
He was preparing to cross Cangyunling and attack Liao County directly, and he took the method of night dispatch to hide people's eyes and ears.
If it was a normal situation, his choice was not wrong, He Jiaming also admired Sakata Nobuzawa a little, but it was a pity that he met himself, and some things were destined to happen, but the result was completely different.
The Sakata Wing is the elite of the Japanese army, with three infantry brigades, namely the third, fourth, and fifth brigades, and the artillery squadron directly under the wing, equipped with six Type 92 infantry guns.
At the same time, the subordinate infantry brigades, each of which also has two Type 92 infantry guns, all of which have twelve infantry guns, their firepower is extremely powerful.
It's just that the equipment of the new regiment is almost the same, that is, there are fewer heavy machine guns, but this time it is an ambush battle.
He Jiaming followed with the reconnaissance battalion, and before dawn, the enemy began to stop and rest, and only then did he contact the regimental headquarters again.
First, the enemy's advance speed and position were reported, and then the regimental headquarters was asked about the battle plan to facilitate the reconnaissance battalion to cooperate!
"Battalion commander, the regimental headquarters has sent a battle plan!" Qian Ming took the telegram and handed it to He Jiaming, and Liao Gensheng and others stood beside him and waited.
He Jiaming looked at it, "Yes, the regiment commander asked the first battalion to defend the three main peak positions to consume the enemy's forces at one time, while the second and third battalions are responsible for the encirclement tasks on the left and right sides!" ”
"The task of our reconnaissance battalion is the enemy's artillery position, and then it is responsible for blocking the enemy's retreat!"
After handing the telegram to Liao Gensheng and then letting them circulate it, He Jiaming said: "The strength of our regiment is about the same as that of the enemy, not much!" ”
"Qian Ming, you send a report to the regiment headquarters, if you find the railroad tracks I left, then build a strong fortress on this basis, and use machine guns to kill and injure the enemy on a large scale on top of the three main peaks!"
"Yes!" Qian Ming replied.
He Jiaming looked at the others again, "Our task is suitable and clear, that is, to take the enemy's artillery position, but this will take a while, and what time is the most appropriate." ”
"If it's early, then the enemy knows that it is an encirclement, and it is very likely to break through directly, so this needs to be negotiated with the regimental headquarters!"
"However, in order to prevent the enemy from escaping, we need to build positions to block the enemy's retreat!"
"This is the first time that our reconnaissance battalion has engaged the enemy head-on, and casualties are inevitable, but I hope that you, as commanders, must pay attention to the details of the deployment in front of the station, and the decision on the construction of the position must not be sloppy or careless!"
"Yes!" Liao Gensheng and the others were very serious.
"Pay attention to the position of the grenadier and the machine gun, we are also Japanese equipment, and the imp is more proficient than us, so how to counter the enemy's weapons, let me think about it!"
"Yes!"
The reconnaissance battalion then began to rest, and He Jiaming took Qian Ming to send a telegram to discuss the time for the surprise attack on the enemy's artillery position!
The enemy's artillery should be used intensively, so that the maximum power of the artillery can be brought into play, and Li Yunlong has arrived at Cangyunling with a new regiment at this time!
The Jinzhong base is very busy right now, but this has nothing to do with the new group, their task is to attract the attention of the enemy.
On the three main peaks, the railroad tracks were found, "How could this He Jiaming send the railroad tracks here, and they are all cut?" ”
Li Yunlong was surprised, while Zhao Gang said: "Maybe he had expected this day a long time ago, He Jiaming is still too mysterious!" ”
"Let's not study this matter, as long as we can beat the little devil, it is our own person!" Li Yunlong reminded, "The telegram sent by Jiaming just now has a very clear meaning, first consume the enemy's vital strength, and finally launch a general attack!" ”
"It's the same idea as we are, with these rails, it is completely possible to build strong machine-gun fortifications, which can kill and injure a large number of enemies!"
"Zhang Dabiao!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao stood up, "Regiment Commander, please rest assured, Yiyi has resolutely held the position!" ”
"I don't want your determination, I want your plan and deployment, let's check the three main peak positions together, how should you deploy one battalion and six companies!" Li Yunlong waved his hand.
Li Yunlong took the commanders above the battalion level and began to check the situation of the positions of the three main peaks, and now the enemy is moving at night, while the Eighth Route Army is now acting during the day.
"The enemy will definitely dispatch bombers this time, so the construction of the position also needs air defense, and the support points of the three main peak positions are built with railroad tracks to ensure the firing range of crossfire!"
"Zhang Dabiao, tell me what you think!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao said: "According to Battalion Commander He's idea, in order to destroy the enemy's living forces, the devil's artillery will not be moved for the time being, then we must prepare for anti-artillery!" ”
"I plan to put a company in each main peak position, and place two heavy machine guns and four light machine guns in each machine gun fortification to fire alternately!"
"This still needs the support of the machine gun battalion directly under the regiment!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "I'll transfer the machine gun battalion to you, the heavy machine gun is inconvenient to move, and it is not suitable for use when attacking!" ”
"Thank you, regiment commander, in this way, I will put more light machine guns on the front-line positions, enhance the firepower configuration on the front-line, and leave a company in each position as a reserve!"
"At the same time, the reserves are preparing for air defense, forcing the enemy's bombers not to dare to dive and bomb too low!"
“……”
Zhang Dabiao then talked about how to deploy positions, various trenches, communication trenches, and so on.
Li Yunlong didn't speak at first, and it wasn't until Zhang Dabiao finished speaking that Li Yunlong began to point out.
The three main peak positions gradually took shape in the discussion of everyone.
Then everyone worked together, Li Yunlong handed over the artillery battalion directly under the regiment to Zhang Dabiao, plus the mortars of the first battalion, which made them disguise themselves as the main force of the new regiment!
And Li Yunlong only took a guard battalion, which was the reserve of the new regiment, and he was still ready to support the reconnaissance battalion.
After all, the reconnaissance battalion is responsible for intercepting the enemy's way, and this is the position where the enemy will attack the most frantically, Li Yunlong feels sorry for the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion and does not want too many casualties.
The scout camp is all treasures!
As time passed, two days later, the Sakata United arrived at Cangyunling, "Nani? ”
Sakata Nobusawa discovered the main peak position, and the first battalion did not hide it at all, completely exposing the position in front of the enemy.
"How did they set up positions here?" Nobusawa Sakata is a little strange.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, the Eighth Route Army is estimated to have deployed defensive positions at various points, right?" The adjutant said.
