Chapter 1016 Lead the snake out of the hole
The chief of staff was a little worried about the plan proposed by Wang Xuexin. He said: "If it is the mechanized troops of the devils, it may be possible. The mechanized troops of the devils usually train not far from the defense line, but the airborne troops..."

The chief of staff's concern is not unreasonable.

Because the combat goal of the Devil's mechanized troops is to tear apart the Eighth Route Army's defense line and then attack the hinterland. If the mechanized troops are too far away from the defense line, there will be several problems:
One is that wartime mobilization is not timely.

In case of an urgent need for mechanized troops but needs to be mobilized from dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers away, fighter jets will be delayed.

Second, transfers are difficult to keep secret.

If the mechanized troops are mobilized from a distant garrison to the front line, they will have both shoulders and tanks, and every node they pass along the way may reveal their whereabouts.

The Eighth Route Army will learn its combat intentions early on and prepare for it.

Therefore, considering the needs of the battlefield and even considering the training itself, mechanized troops are more suitable for the front line.

But the airborne troops are different. They fly over the defense line by plane and then parachute. They are basically not restricted by regions and defense lines and have a lot of freedom.

If the devil's airborne troops were training in its hinterland, for example, in Taiyuan, would the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army have a way to attack Taiyuan?Any hope of success?

The chief said: "We can start with the intelligence first. If the conditions are suitable, we will fight, and if the conditions are not suitable, we will not fight!"

Wang Xuexin actually meant the same thing.

This is actually one of the cores of "Blitzkrieg": flexibility.

With the support of intelligence, carry out rapid strikes on the enemy's key targets, rather than knowing that they can't do it.

As a result, the result of the reconnaissance was really confirmed by the chief of staff. The devil's airborne troops were training at the airport hundreds of kilometers away.

But the good news is that the devil's mechanized troops are training in a place called Laoyang Village, only [-] kilometers away from the Yuncheng defense line.

Wang Xuexin frowned when he looked at the map.

No wonder the devils dared to put mechanized troops in Laoyang Village for training. This place called Laoyang Village faced the Eighth Route Army with an old sheep mountain. This mountain protruded like two horns, forming a natural barrier.

Obviously, the devil chose this place to prevent being bombed by the Eighth Route Army... It is difficult to carry out precise bombing with high positions on both sides like this, especially the rockets fired by the Eighth Route Army rocket fighters.

For example, the Devil's dive bomber can also dive vertically from a high altitude to the target area and then drop the bomb in the middle of the "horn".

But the rockets of the Eighth Route Army cannot be launched in this way... "Hawker 81" is not a dive bomber, it can indeed dive, but the airflow is very unstable when diving, and the air resistance is also very large. At this time, the launch is greatly affected by wind resistance. Rockets are not only difficult to hit the target but also very dangerous.

And the rocket hits a parabola, it is difficult or even impossible to cross the high ground and hit the basin between the two corners... That is the dead angle of the rocket's firepower.

This needs no elaboration.

Because the Eighth Route Army didn't want to use rocket fighters to attack the mechanized troops of the Devils.

The problem is that……

The terrain of Laoyang Village is very suitable for defense. It only exposes the south side as a gap, and the other three sides are all dead ends... As for the mechanized troops, it is a dead end.

How to attack?
The chief's side is also in trouble at the same time.

The chief of staff was a little annoyed. He said, "Those of us who always go to the mountains are afraid of the mountains today!"

"One moment and another moment!" The chief laughed at himself and said, "Who told us to use wheels instead of iron feet!"

This is the shortcoming of using wheels instead of iron feet, which is what others say "the inch is long and the ruler is short". Mechanized troops are limited by the terrain.

The chief of staff looked at the map and backed off a little: "Chief, how about... let's use the reconnaissance company to make a sneak attack!"

The reconnaissance company is basically the special forces of the Eighth Route Army. They can do everything, and sometimes even infiltrate the enemy's defense area to fight.

But the chief shook his head: "Chief of staff, that is the devil's mechanized unit, and it is a mechanized unit composed of elite ground troops. They are very good at ground combat. Yangshan, how much damage can it cause the devils?"

When the chief of staff heard this, he was speechless. It is really not a good idea to use the reconnaissance company to head-to-head with the devil's mechanized troops. This is to kill 1000 enemies and lose [-]... Maybe [-] people can't replace [-] enemies.

Taking a step back, even if it can be replaced, the loss of the devil's troops can quickly be replenished from other troops, which is almost negligible for the devil's mechanized troops.

In other words, what the Eighth Route Army wants is to uproot the mechanized troops that are being formed by the devils, including equipment, soldiers, and so on.

Even if it cannot be completely wiped out, its vitality must be severely damaged.

But for the Eighth Route Army, at least a few regiments with tens of thousands of soldiers can do it.

However, the tens of thousands of troops of the Eighth Route Army went deep into the enemy's hinterland, but they were looking for a dead end.

Just when the chief and the chief of staff were frowning and had nothing to do about it, Wang Xuexin called.

The chief of staff received the telegram. He took the telegram and came to the chief in confusion, saying, "Is Xiaodongbei crazy? He has a half-track car, and he wants to form a mechanized troop!"

"What? The Mechanized Troop?" the chief asked suspiciously.

"Yes!" The chief of staff handed the telegram to the chief, and said, "And the scale is not small. It requires 1000 people and ten tanks... If the armored troops with half-track vehicles can't get in, the shoulders will still be there." Can you break in?"

The chief was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "Chief of staff, don't tell me, they might actually be able to break in!"

"What?" The chief of staff was confused, and he shook the telegram: "Chief, stop joking with me, don't I understand what a shoulder bag is? You can hit each other with a single shot, and even more Don't mention the machine gun in the devil's hand, still break in?"

The chief explained with a smile: "However, what people want here is not to break in, but to lure the snake out of the hole, understand?"

The chief of staff said "Oh" and understood instantly, then slapped his thigh and shouted: "Good way, if we can't get in, we can lure the devils out! The devils thought we were following their example to form a mechanized army, There are only ten T26s against each other...the devils have no pressure at all, so they will send mechanical troops out to intercept them, and practice their reaction speed by the way!"

The chief smiled and nodded: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back once I come out!"
