Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1516 Shagou Town

In the end, several regiment leaders had to agree to this plan.

Among them, Li Yunlong made another effort. He said: "Can we do this, temporarily ordering the soldiers before the battle to inform the soldiers not to protect the artillery detection radar and air defense system, so that some casualties can be reduced, at least no one will be injured because of rescuing these things. At the same time, even if the devil's spies know about it, they don't have time to spread the information!"

What Li Yunlong said sounds reasonable, but how could Wang Xuexin not think about this question?

He replied helplessly: "Commander, the point is that we don't know when this 'pre-war' will be!"

Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard it, and after thinking about it for a while, he folded his arms and squatted on the ground, unwilling to sit on a chair.

Wang Xuexin hit the nail on the head.

Li Yunlong's imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The gun detection radar and air defense system are the key targets of the devils. If the devils knew their location... how would they attack them?

Send infantry to attack?

Or send special forces?

It's impossible!

For this kind of thing that can determine the outcome of a war, especially the air defense system that threatens the devil's air supremacy, the devil will definitely use the fastest and most effective way to attack it in order to paralyze it in the first place.

So don't think about it, it must be bombed by fighter planes.

Or add artillery bombing at the same time as fighter bombing.

As for the bombing of fighter planes, it is difficult for the ground troops to know when they will come. Often the bombs have already fallen from the sky at the moment they know it.

In this situation, how can Li Yunlong "temporarily notify" when the time comes?
How to have time notice?

Even if he deliberately waited by the air defense system, there would be an explosion when he was bombed, so it would be useless for him to shout!
In the end, it can only be implemented according to Wang Xuexin's original plan.

Sometimes Wang Xuexin couldn't figure out why this kind of dilemma would still appear when Minyi already had a clear advantage over the devils when he had developed such equipment.

On the way back, Wang Xuexin thought about it. He felt that this was not a problem of equipment, nor a problem of devils, but Wang Xuexin's self-comparison within the Eighth Route Army.

To put it simply, even if Wang Xuexin didn't need to be aggressive in this battle, he could eventually defeat the devils because of his equipment advantages, but he would suffer greater losses and more casualties.

Wang Xuexin was unwilling to suffer such heavy casualties. He hoped to save some of them, so he fell into a dilemma... If he wanted to save some of them, he had to choose to sacrifice the gun detection radar and air defense system. Radar soldiers, this is the most troublesome part of the plan.

After returning to the headquarters, Wang Xuexin decided to abandon his guilt and lay down all burdens to implement the plan.

This is the basic requirement for a commander on the battlefield: once a decision is made, one cannot hesitate or look forward and backward, otherwise it is very likely to affect the combat plan, but in the end it will cost the frontline soldiers their lives.

Wang Xuexin looked at the map and thought for a while, then drew a circle around Shagou Town, and ordered: "Make arrangements here!"

"Yes!" Chen Songyong responded and went to make arrangements.

The "deployment" that Wang Xuexin referred to was nothing but preparations for a counter-offensive in Shagou Town.

The reason why Shagou Town was chosen is that it is 17 kilometers away from Jiulian Town.

Wang Xuexin's strategic goal is very clear, which is to wipe out the enemy's "Tiger" troops to gain the greatest advantage for the Eighth Route Army's tank troops, and thus win Duolun County in one fell swoop.

No, not just Duolun County!

Wang Xuexin set his sights on Chifeng.

If Duolun County can be captured, Chifeng should be taken back in one go, right?

After all, the devils were unprepared there. They thought that this battle was their main attack, and it was impossible to deploy too many troops in Chifeng.

Since this is the case, then...

Wang Xuexin moved his eyes from Chifeng to the east again, and then said: "Order the logistics troops to hurry up and transport the ammunition and supplies to Zhangjiakou. At least ten regiments must ensure supplies for a month!"

Chen Songyong couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. The supplies and food of the troops only accounted for a small part, the bulk of which was ammunition. If it was a mechanized army or a tank army, fuel and replacement parts would have to be added. These are not small amounts.

As soon as Wang Xuexin opened his mouth, it was the supplies for ten regiments to fight for a month... This can be said to be an astronomical figure for the Eighth Route Army. This is a request that Wang Xuexin has never had since he left Luliang Mountain, including the previous Taiyuan fight.

"Leader!" Chen Songyong said, "Are we going to fight a big battle?"

Wang Xuexin nodded, and replied: "It depends on the situation, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't, you can accept it!"

What Wang Xuexin said was like saying nothing, but it actually coincided with the core of the "Blitzkrieg".

"Blitz" depends on the situation. It is a flexible tactic without a fixed plan.

Because the enemy's deployment and mobilization will change before the battle, any changes can only be known before the battle, and then a more suitable combat plan can be made.

If the plans are made too early now, and the enemy's deployment of troops turns out to be completely different, will all these plans be overthrown?
Therefore, Wang Xuexin's "depending on the situation" at this time, that is, the strategic policy of taking one step at a time, is correct.

The preparation in Shagou Town is to first transfer a regiment to serve as reinforcements.

Transferring a regiment will not attract too much attention from the devils. After all, as the devils continue to increase troops in the direction of Jiulian Town, the strength of the Eighth Route Army's three regiments in Jiulian Town is already slightly insufficient. It is normal to add a regiment for reinforcements thing.

But what the devils didn't know was that as soon as the regiment of the Eighth Route Army arrived in Shagou Town, it sealed off the whole town, and all the people were only allowed to enter but not to leave.

This is to block the news to prevent the deployment of the Eighth Route Army in Shagou Town from being known by the devils.

After the completion, the logistics unit of the T44 tank was first sent up to establish a maintenance base in Shagou Town.

At the same time, more than [-] tank bunkers were dug in Shagou Town.

An ordinary tank bunker is to dig an inverted trapezoidal pit on the ground, so that the tank can drive in and hide without being discovered by the enemy, and it is difficult to bomb with fighter planes.

The tank bunkers in Shagou Town are a bit different. They not only dug trapezoidal pits, but also built a wooden house outside... In this way, the common people don't know what's hidden inside if they look closely.

This is why it goes without saying: as soon as the T44 tanks are off the assembly line, they will immediately drive to Shagou Town to ambush.

This is what Wang Xuexin said to Chen Songyong: "If the devils win a big battle in Jiulian Township and seize the air supremacy, they will take advantage of the victory to chase our army back to Zhangjiakou! km, is the battlefield where we wipe out the enemy's 'Tiger'!"
