Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1609 Sea Road
This place in Jinzhou can be said to have no danger in the cold weapon era, because it is open and flat.

But modern hot weapon warfare is different.

In principle, the devils could set up trenches one after another here and then trade space for time to consume the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the length and width are only seven kilometers, and it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army to deploy its firepower.

Commander Yamagishi, who commanded Dalian, thought so. They immediately mobilized all the imperial soldiers and civilians they could use...a total of more than [-] people, all of them were imperial soldiers and civilians.

He couldn't believe the so-called "Manchurian Army". When the Eighth Route Army marched, it was full of information that the "Manchurian Army" had defected.

Colonel Yamagishi believed that if he took the "Manchukuo Army" to fight, he would plant a time bomb in his own troops.

But even so, Colonel Yamagishi could not rest assured of these "Manchukuo Army".

Because there is another possibility that when the imperial army marched to Jinzhou to fight the Eighth Route Army, the "Manchukuo Army" in the rear began to "rebel".

Thinking of this, Colonel Yamagishi could only grit his teeth and left five hundred gendarmes with considerable combat effectiveness in Dalian to suppress the "Manchukuo Army".

Gendarmerie is used among devils to deal with guerrillas and intelligence personnel, but they can already be regarded as "quite combat effective" in Yamagishi's establishment, because except for the 9th Battalion under his own hands, the others are either disabled soldiers or have never fought The people who fought.

But Colonel Yamagishi was very helpless, because he knew that the "Manchukuo Army" could not be restrained if he did not leave a force with considerable combat effectiveness, so it was meaningless to stay.

After Yamagishi led his troops to Jinzhou, he did nothing, but dug trenches one after another... This army of more than 5000 people didn't even have a decent establishment, because they were formed temporarily, and when they came up, they would die. Rushing to the position to build fortifications does not seem to make much sense.

Compiling this thing is not as simple as giving a number, such as a certain brigade and a certain team.

After the numbers are given, the commanders at all levels must be appointed, and after the appointment of the commanders, it is necessary to pass a certain period of training to let them know each other.

Otherwise, even if there is a commander appointed by the establishment, the generals will not know the soldiers and the generals, and chaos will be inevitable in the battle.

Yamagishi knew this very well, so he was not in a hurry to organize or appoint a commander. He knew that even if he did these things at this time, it would be useless, and it might be worse.

For example, some strangers forced them into a squadron. They didn't even know their military ranks and they didn't know anyone. How could they know who to fight with?
Therefore, Colonel Yamagishi asked them to find a group they knew to freely organize and elect their own commanders. After they were done, they only needed to report the commanders and the number of people.

Then Colonel Yamagishi assigned a commander with combat experience to command these elected commanders.

In this way, Colonel Yamagishi successfully brought these troops together in the shortest possible time, and then he dug trenches day and night without stopping for almost a moment.

Before the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, Yamagishi Dazuo had organized troops to successfully dig five trenches.

Colonel Yamagishi's idea is very simple, that is, to exchange space for time to wait for reinforcements.

This method is indeed good, and the devil's coastline is indeed short of soldiers, but Sasaki Shizue, including Umezu Yoshijiro, are well aware of the importance of Dalian and Lushun.

Therefore, at this time, there are three support armies, one division and one regiment, and the devils are reinforcing Dalian at the fastest speed.

As long as Colonel Yamagishi can block the Eighth Route Army for about three hours at the throat of Jinzhou, the devil reinforcements will arrive and form a two-sided attack on the Eighth Route Army's mechanized troops.

Li Yunlong launched an attack on the devil's defense line when he came up, but found that the devil's defense line was not so easy to break through.

This is not to say how high the combat quality of the devils is. In fact, as soon as they fight, they know that the devils in front of them are just mobs.

The point is that the devil's line of defense is one layer after another. After the Eighth Route Army's mechanized troops penetrated in, it was like hitting layers of elastic fishing nets with no effort.

The main reason is that the follow-up infantry of the Eighth Route Army failed to keep up, and the devils used elite troops to advance and retreat between the trenches and repeatedly charged and killed the Eighth Route Army to encircle the Eighth Route Army.

The devils are using this narrow area to create a quagmire that traps the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army.

In particular, the Eighth Route Army only had three hours. To be precise, it was not as long as three hours, because the Eighth Route Army also needed time to build defenses in Jinzhou to block the devil's reinforcements.

But this matter is not difficult for Li Yunlong.

When others were jumping in a hurry, Li Yunlong commanded the troops calmly and continued to advance step by step.

Even Zhao Gang couldn't help asking: "Old Li, what are you doing? Can this fight work? Devils have five lines of defense, and it took us a long time to take down two. Time waits for no one!"

"Don't worry!" Li Yunlong looked at the time with a smile, and replied, "It's only been an hour, there's plenty of time!"

"There's still time!" Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's expression and became angry: "The remaining three, do you plan to shoot them in exactly two hours?"

"It doesn't take two hours!" Li Yunlong patted his chest and shouted, "Half an hour is enough!"

"Half an hour?" Zhao Gang stared in disbelief.

In the end, before Zhao Gang could ask, gunshots and explosions came from behind the devil, and then the Eighth Route Army's charge horn blew, and the devil collapsed.

Zhao Gang let out a "oh" and laughed, then raised his head and asked Li Yunlong, "Are you the puppet army who instigated Dalian?"

Zhao Gang thought it was Li Yunlong's connection with the puppet army, so he suddenly charged behind the devils.

"What puppet army?" Li Yunlong said, "That's a soldier from our independent regiment!"

"Soldiers from the Independent Regiment?" Zhao Gang raised his binoculars and found that it was indeed the genuine Eighth Route Army that was attacking the devils from the other end.

Zhao Gang put away the binoculars and asked with a puzzled expression: "Lao Li, when did our troops go there? Has it grown wings?"

Li Yunlong raised his head into the sea, squinted at Zhao Gang with disdain, and said, "Fortunately, you are still a scholar. You need to grow wings?"

It turned out that when Li Yunlong received the order to go south to attack Dalian early in the morning, he knew that Jinzhou must be a difficult place.

In such a narrow place, the devils don't have to do anything, just dig a few trenches to make it difficult for the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army to move forward.

At that time, it will be impossible to punch through or go around for a while, so you must be prepared!

At that time, Li Yunlong divided his troops into two companies, boarded a fishing boat and sneaked around to Jinzhou, landed, and then fought back from behind the devils...
