Bright Sword Military System

At this time, Li Yunlong somewhat understood the devil's strategic intentions.

Obviously, the devil's intention is not to hold this line of defense.

Because the air supremacy is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, as soon as the sky is bright, the Eighth Route Army can send fighter planes to bomb the artillery positions of the devils.

Therefore, the devil must withdraw from the position and hide before dawn.

This means that the front line of defense is a temporary defense line of the devils, and its intention is to prevent the Eighth Route Army from advancing.

Another meaning of preventing the advance of the Eighth Route Army is that the reinforcements of the devils are rushing to Datong, and the devils are buying time for the reinforcements.

After Li Yunlong figured this out, he became even more anxious.

The total strength of the Independence Regiment is no more than 5000 people, while the devils and puppet troops in Datong have [-] people. If reinforcements are added... it will be difficult to fight.

But what can we do now?
Li Yunlong held up his binoculars and looked forward, and found that the railway line passed through the foot of the high mountain. His eyes lit up, and he ordered the signal soldier: "Order the vanguard, and scout the railway line!"

Li Yunlong hoped that the railway line inserted from the foot of the highland mountain would be a blind spot for the enemy's artillery fire, and even if it was not a blind spot, if the enemy's artillery fire hits that position, it would be easy to accidentally injure his own people on the high ground.

However, it didn't take long for a burst of gunfire to be heard from the foot of the mountain.

The signal soldier reported: "Commander, I can't get in, there is a devil's armored train there!"

Li Yunlong broke out in cold sweat when he heard this.

Damn, devils are ruthless enough.

Fortunately, they didn't attack rashly. Fortunately, they let the vanguard go to scout.

Otherwise, if the main force is sent up, the armored train of the devils will suddenly drive up along the railway line and come back to the side of the Eighth Route Army, and there will be heavy casualties.

What Li Yunlong didn't know was that Omori Hirono was still regretting this matter!
That's exactly what Omori Hirono planned. His idea was: the more effective the Eighth Route Army can be killed, the more powerful it will be for the Imperial Army, and it doesn't necessarily need to delay time.

Because Omori Hirono believes that the Eighth Route Army, an interspersed force with such good equipment, should not be a large force, otherwise the development of the Eighth Route Army would be too exaggerated.

Assuming that the enemy in front of him is not a large force, if a large number of enemies can be killed in battle, then Datong may be able to block the enemy's attack alone without reinforcements.

Therefore, Omori Hirono set up two traps that could kill the Eighth Route Army in large numbers.

One is to use artillery fire to demarcate the road and railway. As long as the enemy's mechanized troops advance along these two lines, they will be bombarded by artillery fire along the way.

The second is the concealed deployment of armored trains on the flank defense lines... Once the Eighth Route Army attacked the imperial defense line, it would not only be bombarded by artillery fire, but the flanks would also be hit by armored trains.

It is conceivable that the Eighth Route Army in front of us will be defeated in an instant.

However, Omori Hirono did not expect that these two traps were easily avoided by the Eighth Route Army, as if they could see their own thoughts.

Omori Hirono couldn't help sighing: "Is this the gap between us and the regular army?"

What Omori Hirono said is not entirely correct. It has little to do with whether the opponent is a regular army or not. It has to do with the commander and luck. …

But it’s not completely right to say that it’s okay, because if Li Yunlong hadn’t led such an army to fight so many battles, it would be impossible for Li Yunlong to develop such a reaction speed and even have a sixth sense that made him avoid it time and time again. over the enemy's trap.

However, although Li Yunlong escaped the trap, he was still blocked by the devil's carefully designed line of defense.

In fact, don't say that Li Yunlong can't do anything, Wang Xuexin can't do anything when he knows the situation.

If it was Hans fighting this battle, they would have many countermeasures.

For example, airborne troops can be used to parachute behind the devil's line of defense. This will not only break through the devil's line of defense, but also surround the devil, especially the armored train... This thing is extremely dependent on the railway, and it cannot move without the railway.

The paratroopers threw it behind it and blew up the railway, and it couldn't go back.

Armored train, although its combat effectiveness in the wild is not very strong, it is very troublesome to defend in the city, because it is a mobile arsenal, and the city wall can make up for the shortcomings of the armored train's lack of defense.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuexin thought of a solution.

"We can try to use the reconnaissance plane to guide the bombardment!" Wang Xuexin pointed to the enemy on the map and said: "The devil's artillery is hiding behind the high ground, and our army does not have a high ground to see its position, but the reconnaissance plane can see it! "

"A good way!" Chen Songyong said: "We seized a batch of 98 light explosives at Longxi Airport, which can be used right now!"

But Wang Xuexin changed his mind and raised his hand to stop Chen Songyong who was about to deliver the order.

"Wait!" Wang Xuexin looked at the map in silence for a while, and then ordered: "Order the independent group, rest in place and wait for dawn!"

"Regimental Leader..." Chen Songyong was puzzled, why wait for the dawn when he could defeat the devils.

Wang Xuexin didn't explain much, he just repeated: "Execute the order and rest in place!"

"Yes!" Chen Songyong replied suspiciously and went down.

When Chen Songyong came back, Wang Xuexin said, "Mr. Chen, where do you think these devils come from?"

Chen Songyong thought for a while, and then replied: "There are no big cities along this road, and there are not many devils garrisoned, and the devils have armored trains... That is, they are troops transferred from Datong?"

Wang Xuexin asked again: "How did they come here?"

Chen Songyong frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the map and analyzed: "It takes more than two hours after dark to get to the front line from Datong, plus the armored train, it comes from the railway!"

Wang Xuexin gave a "hmm" and asked again: "If we destroy their artillery now, what will happen?"

This question is not difficult. Chen Songyong replied: "The devils will lose the pillar of the defense line. They know that their army cannot fight our army's continuous rifles without the advantage of artillery, so they will withdraw immediately!"

"It means withdrawing from Datong, right?" Wang Xuexin continued: "There are more than 2000 people, including more than 1000 devils. They are the main force in Datong, right?"

Chen Songyong suddenly understood what Wang Xuexin meant: "The commander wants to lead the snake out of the hole and wipe out this army outside the city?"

"There is no need for us to lead!" Wang Xuexin replied: "We are still 150 kilometers away from Datong, and we are blocked by the devils tonight. It will take at least two days, that is, there will be such a battle tomorrow. The actions of our army will still come out on their own to stop our army from advancing. At that time..."

Chen Songyong was overjoyed: "Our army can make dumplings for them as long as we let a unit advance lightly and rush to the rear of their predetermined line of defense!"
