Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 122 Fish Scale Encirclement Formation
Thanks to the efforts of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, the reverse slope fortifications and tunnel fortifications have begun to take shape.

These fortifications are not a single hill, but several hills are connected afterwards, one after another.Only in this way can we have the depth of defense, so that we will not be defeated in one blow because there is no room for retreat under the enemy's fierce attack.

During the construction break, Zhou Ping approached Wang Xuexin with a newspaper from somewhere, and asked, "Platoon leader, they said that we can make our own guns. Show me, is it true?"

Wang Xuexin took it and saw that it read "Anti-Enemy Three Daily Magazine" in large characters, and it should be a newspaper run by the Eighth Route Army itself.

Looking at the headlines on the front page, there was indeed an article on guns, entitled "Our Army Successfully Produced Type [-] Rifles and Equipped the Troops", which talked about how military workers overcame difficulties to produce rifles with crude equipment.

But of course, the address of the arsenal and the gun data are all secrets, and it is impossible to write them in the newspaper.

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin nodded and replied, "That's what it said!"

The soldiers were jubilant when they heard it, and then discussed in a hurry:

"Can this make guns?"

"Can't our arsenal also make guns? What's the point of making guns?"

"Is it difficult to make a gun or to make a gun?"

"Of course it's hard to make a cannon! Don't you know which one shoots louder?"

……

Huzi patted the [-] cover in his hand, and said excitedly: "From now on, can we also use the gun we made to fight devils?"

Wang Xuexin just smiled and didn't speak.

Wang Xuexin knows a little about these Type [-] rifles.

It is a rifle manufactured by the Huangyadong Arsenal of the Eighth Route Army imitating "Zhongguan". Wang Xuexin remembers that the output of this kind of gun is only a few dozen per month, and the rail steel used is not long-lived, and the range is not satisfactory. , and ultimately failed to be officially installed.

So Huzi wanted to use the gun he made to fight devils... I'm afraid he would be disappointed.

Just when Wang Xuexin was in a daze, the monk yelled at Wang Xuexin from a few meters away: "Little Northeast, the leader is calling you!"

Wang Xuexin responded and followed the monk to the direction of the temporary regiment headquarters.

The temporary regiment headquarters was set up in a natural cave near the foot of the mountain. It was spacious and sturdy, and it was connected by a traffic trench. The orderly set up a kettle to boil water next to it, and a table was set up with a shell box in the middle, just like a camping area.

Li Yunlong, who was standing by the radio station, saw Wang Xuexin come in, nodded his head and turned around and walked to the map. After Wang Xuexin stepped forward to salute, Li Yunlong said solemnly: "The devils have already started fighting, this time the action is a little different!"

Wang Xuexin was not surprised by this. Neiji Okamura is known for his novel tactics.

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "On the surface, the devils look the same as before. They still sweep as before. But they spread out their troops and spread out along the roads to encircle the villages. The situation of our army may not be optimistic!"

Wang Xuexin knew this, and it was called "fish-scale encirclement" in modern times.

This tactic is mainly aimed at mopping up the "guerrilla zone" of our army, which is the gray area that the devils call "quasi-law and order zone".

Usually, the devils use a linear push to sweep forward.

This method of sweeping may catch the villages ahead by surprise, but the villagers and troops in the follow-up villages will move immediately after hearing the sound of gunfire.

At the same time, the guerrillas or the Eighth Route Army will block the actions of the devils by laying mines and blocking them all the way.

Therefore, the deeper the devils raided, the less "war results" they got, and many villages could even be said to have gained nothing.

This time, the devils came up along the road and went deep, and then spread out to the two sides to divide and encircle, so that the villagers had no way to escape. The encirclement line was like fish scales, one layer after another, so it was called "fish scale encirclement." .

At this time, Zhao Gang came over from the radio station. He held a telegram in his hand, handed it to Li Yunlong, and said with relief: "The devil's new mopping up tactics really caught us off guard. Fortunately, all the villages have built tunnels. Although some of them have not been completed yet, it is not a problem for guerrillas and villagers to hide in and avoid them!"

Then Zhao Gang cast a grateful look at Wang Xuexin, and said: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, the chief specifically told me to express my gratitude to you. The tunnel warfare you proposed came at the right time, otherwise, the losses and casualties we would suffer this time would be only I'm afraid it's hard to estimate!"

Li Yunlong looked at the telegram and laughed "hehe": "I also said that tunnel warfare is useless, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at a critical moment!"

Wang Xuexin stared at the map without saying a word. After a while, he said: "Leader, political commissar, I think the devil's goal is not just the 'guerrilla zone'."

"How to say?" Zhao Gang asked.

Wang Xuexin replied thoughtfully: "The devils went all the way along the road and spread their forces along the sides. I don't think it's just to surround the villagers and rob supplies. If we do this, we will underestimate Neji Okamura!"

Speaking of which, Wang Xuexin pointed to the roads on the map and said: "The devil's forces are mainly deployed on the support of No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] roads. These roads lead directly to our army base from east to west. The devils use this While sweeping, it also ensures the safety and smoothness of the roads. At this time, if the devils still have troops that we don't know along these roads..."

Before Wang Xuexin finished speaking, Zhao Gang exclaimed: "You mean that the devil's action is just to prepare for the main force to intersperse?"

"I guess it's [-]%!" Wang Xuexin nodded.

Li Yunlong jumped up "Teng": "Damn, the devil is going to play big this time. If this is the case, the number of troops will be doubled than usual! Let's also practice our hands and beat his mother!" happy!"

Zhao Gang frowned and considered for a while, then said: "No, I must report this situation to the headquarters immediately!"

Then he turned and walked towards the radio station.

Li Yunlong no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the communication soldiers to connect the telephone lines to prepare for battle.

It was the chief of staff who received the telegram at the headquarters. As soon as he saw Zhao Gang's report, he realized what was going on, and hurriedly handed the telegram to the chief.

"This Neiji Okamura!" The chief looked at the telegram and checked the map, nodded in shock and said, "I couldn't figure out what he was doing just now, so I can understand it just now. The devil must have secretly tuned in." Several troops came back, and the number was not small. Neiji Okamura first used these mixed brigades to sway in front of us, making us think that their goal was to mop up. In fact, the communication line was opened up, and the main force should be quickly Intersperse in front of us!"

The chief did not dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered: "Order all the troops stationed in the plains to withdraw into the mountains, and the troops stationed in the mountains are ready to fight, and must block the devil's attack!"

Then the chief suddenly discovered that all the hopes of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be pinned on the anti-slope fortification of Xiaodongbei, otherwise... if the devils chased after him all the way, the consequences would be disastrous.
