Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1576: Noon
Objectively speaking, Major General Kaoru Iwata's tactics of combating the Eighth Route Army's half-track vehicles with chariots and cavalry are still very innovative.

Although it can be said that the cavalry is no longer suitable for the battlefield at this time and will be eliminated... In the era of machine guns, there is basically no room for cavalry to survive. The reason why it can still exist during World War II is only that it has a little effect on special terrain, such as fighting the Eighth Route Army. In the mountainous area, another example is Mao Xiong who puts his cavalry on the road full of snow-covered cars and tanks.

But as the saying goes, "Water is impermanent, power is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent." There is never an absolute thing on the battlefield. Even something that is about to be eliminated can still exert surprising combat effectiveness on a specific battlefield.

For example, the Maoxiong low-speed biplane seagull fighter, its performance in the Caucasus Mountains is very impressive.

Major General Iwata Kaoru put the cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry skilled in riding into the battlefield this time, which is somewhat similar to these battle examples.

The Eighth Route Army at this time knew nothing about it, Li Yunlong and even Wang Xuexin didn't pay attention to the so-called "iron-blooded troops" of the Devil Cavalry.

So at noon that day, the Eighth Route Army's offensive began.

The attack time is set by Li Yunlong.

This is what Li Yunlong told Wang Xuexin: "Commander Wang, our attack time is too regular, whether it is early morning, evening before dark, or night, I will recite these attack times, can the devil not be more vigilant? "

Wang Xuexin felt right when he heard it.

If it is a daytime battle, the Eighth Route Army usually chooses to attack in the early morning, so that the sky will light up after the artillery preparations are completed, and then the troops can launch an attack.

If you want to fight at night, it should be before dark in the evening, so that the Eighth Route Army can clearly see the impression of its target before attacking, and use the impression to charge after the artillery fire prepares for dark.

If you want to sneak attack, you usually do it in the middle of the night, when the enemy is sleeping soundly.

Although these time points are very suitable for attacking, and tactically speaking, there is no problem, but the devils are very sensitive at these time points if they are used too much, and they even strengthen sentries and patrols at these time points.

If the Eighth Route Army continues to fight like this, the devils may be ready to wait for the Eighth Route Army to attack.

At this time of noon, it is a bit up and down. It is only half a day during the day and then it will enter the night.

To be honest, it is not a good choice to fight an annihilation battle at this point in time, because if you spend a lot of effort to surround the enemy, what should you do if it is about to be surrounded and wiped out when it gets dark?
But it was precisely at this time that the devils were the most unprepared!
In addition, Li Yunlong also gave a reason: "Devils often don't eat at noon. Let's feed them when they are so hungry that their chests are on their backs. I think this will work!"

Wang Xuexin didn't know that the devil didn't eat at noon. He asked Chen Songyong in surprise, "Does the devil only eat two meals?"

"No!" Chen Songyong replied: "This is because the devils have given a problem recently. They are being pressed by the eagle sauce in the Pacific Ocean, and the expeditionary force on the stubborn army has started to counterattack to open up the external road. In addition, Our side has hit here again...the devils have also started to imitate our 'self-reliance'!"

"Self-reliance?" Wang Xuexin said, "You mean 'do it yourself and have enough food and clothing'?"

"Yes!" Chen Songyong nodded and said, "But what are the devils talking about... the 'food self-sufficiency movement' started at the end of last year. Many troops, including the devils' regular army, eat a few compressed biscuits for lunch!"

Wang Xuexin said "Oh".

This should be because he has been in the office for too long, so he doesn't know these details.

But this doesn't seem to be surprising. The main reason why the devils have problems with food is because they are too hard on the Chinese people... They are either robbing or killing, and they often loot everything.

In this way, how can the common people farm with peace of mind?
If the common people can't feel at ease farming, where will the devil's army food come from?
In addition, in 42 years and 43 years after the disaster, it is still in the slow recovery period. Can there be more food now?

Then Chen Songyong sighed again: "Leader, fortunately, you are advanced. Before the great famine, you bought a large amount of grain and promoted the movement of land reclamation and farming. Otherwise, our life is not easy now!"

Wang Xuexin just smiled and said nothing.

To him, this was nothing more than a trivial matter, and he was an "experienced person", so how could he not be prepared if he knew that these things would happen!

But Wang Xuexin's expression is completely different in the eyes of Chen Songyong and others... They are people who have experienced hunger, and at that time, a large number of people starved to death outside the base of the Eighth Route Army. Now even the devils are reducing their rations. However, the Eighth Route Army was able to go against the trend and enter a period of great development.

In their eyes, this is not a small matter, it will kill people.

But Wang Xuexin didn't take this credit seriously, it seems that this is what he should do.

This made Chen Songyong and others admire Wang Xuexin even more.

So there was no need to think about Li Yunlong's suggestion. Wang Xuexin agreed without thinking too much, but added: "If the attack starts at noon, the time for encirclement and annihilation will be reduced. Are you sure that you can finish the Iron Stone Army in half a day?"

On the other side, Li Yunlong lifted his chin, and replied in a disdainful tone: "What is iron and stone, our independent group is a fire! Don't talk about iron and stone, even gold will burn it!"

At this time, Li Yunlong underestimated the enemy a little.

The main reason is that the puppet army was vulnerable to fighting all the way, and many troops still surrendered while fighting, and they didn't know whether they were enemies or friendly troops.

Therefore, when Li Yunlong heard that the current puppet army was present, even though Wang Xuexin reminded them that they were not so easy to deal with elites, Li Yunlong still didn't take it seriously.

This is what he said to Zhao Gang: "Elite, I have even beaten the elite devils, why are you afraid of this elite puppet army? Give me a hard hit!"

Since the purpose of this battle was to fight together with the 39th Division of the Devils, the first batch of independent assault regiments were arranged.

Li Yunlong's tactics are as follows: under the cover of artillery, two infantry regiments charge from the front to the enemy's defense line. The first and third battalions of the independent regiment break through from the left wing, the second and fourth battalions break through from the right wing, and the fifth battalion serves as a reserve.The New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment pursued the enemy after breaking through the defense line, trying to defeat the Iron Stone troops.

Regarding this battle plan, Zhao Gang asked: "What will happen to the Devil's 39th Division? They are equipped with anti-tank rifles, and it is said that they are specially used to deal with our army's half-track vehicles!"

Li Yunlong let out a "hey" and replied, "Old Zhao, let's drive the iron and stone troops into the defense line of the Devil's 39th Division like ducks. Can the Devil's anti-tank rifle still work?"
