Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1209
The devils were completely wiped out early the next morning.

In fact, the devils withdrew before dawn, and it took about two hours for them to retreat to Datong. As soon as the sky dawned, the Eighth Route Army's aviation launched an attack, and it would be difficult for them to return smoothly just by blowing up the railway.

Therefore, the devils began to prepare in the middle of the night, and they planted a large number of landmines in front of the positions... Datong is an important transportation hub and a transit point. There are many materials waiting to be transported to the front line, including landmines.

Landmines caused some trouble to the Eighth Route Army, and the devils also planted many mines along the railway.

However, this trouble is very limited. First, because most of the mines used by the devils are very simple to suppress mines, and it is not difficult to clear such mines.The second is because the Eighth Route Army is equipped with "Sherman" tanks, which can be transformed into minesweeping vehicles as long as the minesweeping rollers are installed on the front.

If there is any difference, it is that the Eighth Route Army used to use half-track vehicles to lead the battle faster, but now it can only use tanks to lead the way a little slower.

During the day, it advanced a total of fifty miles, during which time a total of 25 gun towers and five high grounds guarded by devil teams were destroyed.

Wang Xuexin believes that this is also one of the strategies used by the devils to slow down the speed of the Eighth Route Army.

Usually, devils generally don't garrison troops on high ground, because what they want to defend against is guerrillas. At most, a gun tower and barbed wire fences can be built on the high ground, and at most one or two simple bunkers can be added.

But the gun towers are good against guerrillas. They are targets in front of the Eighth Route Army, especially the gun towers built on high ground... one of the boss's goals is to let the artillerymen practice their hands.

After the devils realized that they were going to delay the Eighth Route Army, they dropped a small team here and stationed a small team there on the high ground next to the road and railway.

Wang Xuexin thought they were learning from the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army used to do this to stop the devils from marching. Now it's the devils' turn to do this.

However, this method has little effect on the mechanized units of the Eighth Route Army.

Need a highland by highland capture?
If you fight like this, can it be called "blitzkrieg"?
Where conditions permit, the soldiers directly converted the "Sherman" into a bulldozer, and pushed a road out of the field to bypass those highlands and pass through the highlands to make the devils stare. Time, send a telegram to give the coordinates directly, and then the fighter jets drop incendiary bombs on the high ground...

Only by fighting in this way can it be possible to advance 50 miles a day, otherwise it is almost enough to just attack one or two high grounds.

The sky soon darkened again, and the independent regiment, as usual, set foot on the road to Datong again after a short rest.

This time, Li Yunlong learned to be smart. The vanguard deployed two companies and eight tanks. The tanks were not used for combat, but more for mine clearance and road repair.

The main force followed slowly at a distance of ten kilometers behind.

Only the mechanized troops dared to set up this battle sequence, otherwise the distance of ten kilometers between the main force and the vanguard would be easily cut off by the enemy from the middle.

However, the mechanized troops use half-track vehicles, and ten kilometers is a matter of ten minutes for them. As long as the vanguard troops engage in battle, the main force can immediately send reinforcements.

However, this is only on the surface.

Ten kilometers further ahead of the vanguard, the monk's reconnaissance company had already infiltrated.

The reconnaissance company infiltrated into the devil-controlled area during the day.

This is how Li Yunlong discussed with the monk.

"I said monk, we can't enter the area controlled by the devils so ostentatiously!" Li Yunlong said: "If the devils know that we have an army going deep into its rear, they will send up those tin can cars and a lot of soldiers on the railway. ?"

"Team leader, don't worry!" The monk replied: "You guys take the big road, and we ride on the saddle to take the small road, so we won't be discovered by the devils!"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "Take the side road? Are you stupid or stupid when you think of devils? We are the Eighth Route Army, with a background in guerrilla warfare. The devils guard against our roads and railways, so why not prevent us from taking small roads?"

The monk felt right when he heard this, and the small road was very easy to defend. It only needed a small team to set up an ambush there, which would not only cause casualties to the reconnaissance company, but also ruin the entire combat plan.

But this made it difficult for the monk.

"Regiment leader!" the monk said: "The road and railway cannot be used, and the path will be discovered again. Does this allow me to fly over?"

Li Yunlong tapped the monk's head vigorously with his finger: "I said you are a melon, what do you use as a scout company? Isn't it your unique skill to pretend to infiltrate?"

The monk's reconnaissance company is not an ordinary reconnaissance company, they should be called special forces, so Li Yunlong is really right, camouflage penetration is one of the main training subjects of the reconnaissance company.

I don't want the monk to reply in embarrassment: "Commander, it's not that I haven't thought about infiltrating. But you see, when the people and businessmen heard that we were coming, they all ran towards us from the enemy-controlled area, and they didn't see anyone Running from our direction to the devils, this situation still allows me to infiltrate, so the devils must believe it!"

Li Yunlong did not consider this point.

But think about it, when the Eighth Route Army was advancing towards Datong during this period, they saw groups of people flocking here... They hid in the wild in the mountains first, and then came out after the Eighth Route Army drove away the devils.

The reason for doing this is because the devils and puppet troops burned, killed and looted along the way in order not to leave things and young and strong soldiers for the Eighth Route Army, no matter whether they were large or small troops, so that the Eighth Route Army watched all the way. What I saw were the corpses and ruins of the people.

If this is the case, it will not be easy for the reconnaissance company to infiltrate into the area controlled by the devils.

But Li Yunlong thought about it for a while, and said "hey": "I said monk, can't you use your brain? We can't pretend to be ordinary people, can we pretend to be a puppet army? If it is really impossible, can we pretend to be a landlord and rich man? Can bandits do it?"

When the monk thought about it, he was right.

It may be difficult to disguise as a puppet army, because the puppet troops in this area are all North China security forces. They are well-trained and well-organized, and they are easy to see through when they are disguised as them.

Bandits... Devils don't like to see this kind of mob.

Landlords and Lao Cai are different. They usually have private armed forces in their hands. They usually ride on the heads of the people and do their best to work for the devils. When the Eighth Route Army comes, they must run away!
Good idea!
So, that day, the monk took the reconnaissance company and rode to the nearby village to find the trouble of the landlord Lao Cai.

If you catch them, ask them hard, such as your name, certificate of good citizenship, and who is in charge of them. After you are done, change your equipment and clothes, and then "follow" the devils...
