Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1178
If it was in the past, after hearing the news, the "corrupt general" would be eager to open a few bottles of wine to celebrate... Let the devils go to attack the Eighth Route Army, and he is happy to watch the fun from behind.

But things are different now.

The current situation is that the devils are attacking the recalcitrant army with all their strength and the recalcitrant army is retreating steadily. This determines that the recalcitrant army needs to unite with the Eighth Route Army in terms of strategic direction.

What's more, besides the prominent terrain, a large part of the reason why Xi'an was able to defend was that there was the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi... Once the devils attacked Xi'an, they would be exposed to the front of the Eighth Route Army immediately.

Although the "corrupt general" is greedy and ignorant by nature, he still understands the truth of this point, so he didn't think much about it, and immediately notified the Eighth Route Army of the information he got.

Wang Xuexin was embarrassed when he knew this situation.

He wasn't worried about the devil's penetration of troops. Although the devil probably used a division of troops to penetrate from Xi'an, this would indeed bring some trouble to the Eighth Route Army.

But at this time, the Eighth Route Army is not what it used to be, especially there is a mechanized unit of the Hundred Battles in the direction of Yuncheng.

Wang Xuexin believes that the war in the direction of Yuncheng does not need him to worry about at all, and the headquarters can easily resolve it.

Wang Xuexin was right... To be exact, Wang Xuexin and the Chief had thought of going together.

The chief looked at the direction of the devil's divisions on the map, and said, "Our mechanized troops can be used!"

The chief of staff was a little strange: "Chief, our mechanized troops only have one regiment, while the devils have a division. Is this comparison of forces..."

The chief shook his head: "Chief of Staff, that's not how mechanized troops are used. Mechanized troops are cavalry. Mobility is important, not to fight head-to-head with the enemy!"

The chief of staff immediately understood: "The chief means to attack the enemy's supply line?"

The chief nodded, and said, "Immediately strengthen the firepower of the Hundred Battle Group, it's best... to equip them with some of those repeating rifles!"

"A batch has been equipped!" The chief of staff replied: "But not many, the whole regiment is only equipped with two hundred!"

The bursting rifles are given priority to equip the three regiments in the direction of Daqingshan, and the Baizhan regiment will be equipped only after there are surplus.

"Enough!" said the chief: "Order the Hundred Battle Group, these two hundred repeating rifles cannot be used separately, but should be concentrated and equipped in one battalion!"

The chief of staff did not expect this, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'll go ask!"

The chief of staff came back after a while, and he said with some surprise: "That's what the Hundred Battle Group does. The bursting rifles are concentrated and equipped in one battalion!"

The chief laughed "hehe": "This Li Changfu is not bad! He looks a little better!"

The chief of staff couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Chief, is there any reason for this concentrated equipment?"

The chief explained: "Chief of staff, think about it, in case of a war, a unit with full firepower is required to fight and retreat quickly. If the continuous rifles are scattered among the troops, can it be done?"

The chief of staff understood with an "oh".

The reason is very simple.

If it is scattered equipment, for example, the average number of equipment for each company of the whole regiment, it seems that the firepower of each company has increased, but the improvement is very limited, and the upper limit of the power that can be exploded in battle is only this average value. .

More importantly, in this way, the whole regiment will fall into the problem of supply chaos... Each company needs to use two kinds of rifle bullets.

But if the equipment is concentrated, it will be completely different.

First of all, the problem of supply confusion basically does not exist, even if there is, it is a small amount, and it is concentrated in one battalion...Even if it is equipped with a repeating rifle, the pull-bolt rifle has not been eliminated, and a small number of pull-bolt rifles are used as sniper units.

Secondly, the upper limit of combat power has reached a new height, it is no longer the average value but the maximum value.

When commanding operations, different tasks can be assigned according to the different battalions. For example, the bolt-action rifle battalion is deployed on the mountain to fight defensive warfare and delay warfare... The range and accuracy of the bolt-action rifle can play a role in high ground warfare.

A battalion equipped with a continuous-fire rifle can carry out a surprise attack on an enemy target... But a battalion equipped with a continuous-fire rifle has almost no opponents in close-range combat, let alone the enemy's logistics force.

In the end, the chief ordered: "Let the Baizhan regiment prepare for battle. Let's put the enemy inside first, lure the enemy to go deep, and then let the devils understand: it's easy to get in here, but hard to get out!"

"Yes!" The chief of staff immediately issued the order.

The specific troop deployment and command operations are all commanded by the headquarters. Of course, guerrillas are used to harass the devils on the high ground along the way.

It is conceivable that under the chief's tactics of combining foreign and local troops, the division that the devils interspersed with will find that they have stepped into the quagmire and cannot move an inch.

What Wang Xuexin felt embarrassed was: What if the devils focused their attack on Yuncheng and stood still on Daqingshan?

This can be said to be a good thing or a bad thing.

Let's say it's a good thing... If Ningji Okamura has such a side-to-back combat plan, it means that the main force of the devils is concentrated in Yuncheng instead of Daqingshan, which is more beneficial to the Eighth Route Army's interspersed operations.

Wang Xuexin believed that the devils never dreamed that the Eighth Route Army would launch a counterattack at this time, and even planned to counterattack all the way to the northeast.

Call it a bad thing, if the devils hold back their troops like this, will the Eighth Route Army also hold back their troops?

Desperate to attack first?

Or take the initiative to launch an offensive?
It doesn't seem appropriate, because there will be no suddenness of the battle in this way, and the devils will see the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army coming up from a long distance in the line of defense. They can deploy troops to punish the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army The troops chased and intercepted them.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that it is still necessary to let the devils take the initiative to attack.

But how can the devil change the battle plan?
In other words, the reason why the devils did not attack in the direction of Daqingshan was probably because they did not have enough troops... Is it possible for the devils to initiate an attack without enough troops?
Is there a need to take the initiative to attack?

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuexin asked Chen Songyong: "During the last battle, we raided the devil's 'Human Cao Gaohuo' base and captured a batch of launchers, are they still there?"

"Yes!" Chen Songyong replied without thinking: "Originally we wanted to melt these irons for production, but I thought we might not be able to use them in the future, so we let them keep them!"

Chen Songyong was thinking that maybe the "high fire" would be transferred to the direction of Daqingshan in the future, and these launchers would be ready to use by then.

Wang Xuexin said "hmm" and said, "Put them up near the Daqingshan Iron and Steel Plant..."
