Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1240 Siege
If Li Yunlong is allowed to handle this matter, there may still be problems.

In other words, if Ning Jie was not guarding the east but soldiers from the Independent Regiment, the situation might be different.

This is not to say that Li Yunlong is not bold enough, but that there is a Zhao Gang by his side.

The division of power between the head of the regiment and the political commissar is, in simple terms, "the head of the regiment will follow the gunfire, and the political commissar at other times."

This is actually to simplify the problem for the soldiers to understand.

In fact, military matters are under the command of the regimental commander, and issues of life, ideology, and discipline are under the control of the political commissar.

Whether to let the people out of the city is obviously not a military issue... The people are non-combatants, so it is Zhao Gang who handles this matter or has the decision-making power.

How will Zhao Gang solve it?
Afterwards, Zhao Gang said something like this: "It's not bad to let the people out of the city. Why don't we keep them in the city and be bombed by the devils? We didn't know before. If we knew that the devils would come to fight Datong, we should evacuate the people first." out!"

The latter sentence is indeed the consistent style of the Eighth Route Army. If there are conditions before the battle, the people will be transferred to a safe place out of the need to protect the people, and they will return after the battle.

But now and then.

Now that the battle has started, if you let the people out of the city at this time, you will face a very serious problem... In the beginning, there may be very few people out of the city, only a few dozen.

But the news spread among the common people is actually very fast, and it doesn't take long for one to spread to the whole city.

At that time, everyone will know that they can leave the city from the east, so should they go or not?

Of course go!
Staying here won't help us much, we ordinary people don't know how to fight, so why don't we stay here and wait to die?

So they flocked eastward in panic.

At this time, if the devils or traitors mixed in with the people make trouble again, I'm afraid the whole city will be in chaos.

In fact, Hayashi Yoshitaro's strategy is more vicious than this. He not only arranged for people to make trouble, but also ambushed soldiers in the east...

Just wait for the people to come back with troops to fight back when they leave the city from the east gate. At that time, the people will definitely be frightened by the devils and flood into the city uncontrollably like a tide.

For the Eighth Route Army, the common people followed closely behind the devils, so how will the battle be fought then?So what kind of half-track vehicles, tanks, bunkers, etc., are completely useless, right?Datong was taken down by the devils with just one charge.

There are more than 6000 defenders in the city, including the Independence Regiment... 3000 members of the Independence Regiment, 2000 members of the defected Ningjie Section were organized into the Sixth Battalion, and there were more than [-] militiamen spontaneously organized by the people.

The more than 6000 defenders have to talk about bayonet fighting skills, except that the assault rifles in the hands of the independent regiment can play a role and have the upper hand, but this advantage is also very small, because when the crowds are running around and it is still dark, the devils can see People are killed, but the Eighth Route Army has to distinguish between civilians and devils. This way the reaction will be much slower and they will be cautious, not to mention that there are devils among the civilians.

So needless to say what the ending is, the Eighth Route Army's troops stationed in Datong will be wiped out, and the devils will occupy Datong easily with heavy casualties.

Lin Fangtaro's move was not innocuous, and it was a tactic, but he didn't expect that it was not the Eighth Route Army but Ning Jie who was guarding the east.

At this time, Ning Jie's Sixth Battalion hadn't had time to assign an instructor, and Ning Jie has always been pragmatic and knows the devils quite well, so he saw through the devils' schemes at a glance, so he simply ordered: "No one is allowed to let go!" , whatever the reason!"

This order seems a bit unreasonable, but in fact it unknowingly resolved a crisis for Datong.

Lin Fangtaro saw that there was no chaos in the city and no one left the city through the east gate, so he ordered to attack the city.

In an instant, the cannons from three sides rang again...the east side still did not attack, Hayashi Yoshitaro hoped to exert constant pressure on the people in the city through the attack, he believed that as long as the pressure was strong enough to make the people panic, the people would always have their psychological defense collapsed that moment.

The cannon sounded for only 2 minutes.

This is because Hayashi Yoshitaro was urgently transferred to Datong to attack the city, and he did not bring much supplies.

But this is not a problem. Neji Okamura has organized a supply convoy to deliver supplies to the 110th Division.

Then, a large number of devils attacked in the direction indicated by the command knife amidst the commander's hoarse shouts.

Hayashi Yoshitaro's offensive tactics are as follows:
Since the empire will have an advantage in artillery battles, he thinks it is necessary to seize this advantage to attack.

The Eighth Route Army has tanks and half-track vehicles, and its firepower and defense are beyond the reach of imperial soldiers.

But it was night at this time, as long as the Eighth Route Army opened fire, the artillery observers could quickly find the location of its firepower and instruct the artillery to blow it up.

As long as he breaks through the city wall or the defense a certain distance behind the city wall and enters the houses, Hayashi Yoshitaro believes that the battle is half won.

Because the fight will be close hand to hand combat and street fighting, the advantages of the empire's large number of soldiers and good quality can be fully utilized, while the enemy's chariots and half-track vehicles will become scrap iron or even a burden.

That's how the devils fought, so their infantry seemed aggressive, but they were just feigning an attack. Once they were hit by the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, they would immediately fall down in pieces.

At this time, the artillery observer hiding in the dark will immediately calculate the position of the fire point and report it to the artillery.

It won't be long before a wave of artillery shells roars in and blows up the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

This made the Eighth Route Army very passive in this defensive battle. Li Yunlong watched the firepower points being knocked down one by one by the devils and could only scold his mother angrily.

This is indeed a tricky question.

At this time, airplanes cannot be used at night. If you want to suppress the enemy's artillery fire, you must use artillery, and once you use artillery, it means you will have an artillery battle with the devils... The artillery battles inside and outside the city have an advantage.

After thinking for a while, Li Yunlong ordered: "Everyone is there, let the devils in and fight!"

Li Yunlong has become cruel.

Under normal circumstances, the side defending the city will not easily let the enemy enter the city, because such an attack usually means that the advantage of the defense line is gone.

But Li Yunlong did the opposite.

But Li Yunlong's approach is correct.

Because the city wall is breached by the enemy to enter the street fighting and the enemy is actively let in to fight the street fighting are two different things.

To be breached by the enemy is to break into the enemy in an unpredictable position, which will make the defenders unprepared and unprepared.

But if the enemy is brought in on his own initiative, it will be the battlefield preset by the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army can decide the location, clear the people in advance, set up an ambush, and even decide how many enemies to let in...
