Chapter 1687 Hundred Battles Brigade

This is actually a home-changing tactic.

If you follow the conventional style of play, it will be very difficult for Wang Xuexin to win Fengtian.

Although Sasaki Jingjiang doesn't have much offensive skills... this may also be because the Eighth Route Army has an advantage in air supremacy and other aspects, making the Devil Army unable to exert its combat effectiveness in offensive warfare.

But Sasaki Shizue is commendable in Fengtian's defense.

Sasaki Shizue did not deploy all of his 10 men in Fengtian... Since ancient times, the defense of the city has never put all its troops in the city, even in the era of cold weapons.

This is also the plot of "going out of the city to fight" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
However, this is not the case in actual combat.

Although the city wall can resist foreign enemies, it can also block one's own troops in the city and "cocoon itself".

For example, if one hundred thousand enemies invade, all the one hundred thousand defenders will immediately return to the city to defend.

Then the enemy only needs to divide up [-] troops and block the city gate with bows and arrows, trebuchets, etc., and easily seal the [-] defenders and the people inside the city.

The other [-] troops can safely harvest grain outside the city to harvest the enemy's crops, and even plant grain on a large area of ​​land outside the city, year after year... There is no need to worry about food and grass outside the city, while inside the city But the defenders will starve to death one day.

There are only two exceptions:

One is that the capital city, that is, the city where the emperor lives, may have this kind of defense method, because it can wait for the reinforcements from the vassal states.

The second is to use the river moat like the Diaoyu City, and surround the city with a large area of ​​fertile land and mountains so that the city can grow food for self-sufficiency.

Otherwise, give the defenders ten guts and dare not return to the city after a fight. Unless they are really defeated and can only return to the city to save their lives, otherwise they will arrange troops outside the city to cooperate with the city wall defense. This is the only way to advance and retreat. It will not be blocked by the enemy.

The same is true of Sasaki Shizue's defense. The Fengtian city wall is its last line of defense. The circles outside the city are all defense lines built by devils with barbed wire, mines, trenches, and bunkers.

The artillery basically dare not put it outside the city, because it is afraid that the Eighth Route Army artillery radar will be knocked out as soon as it is discovered, so the artillery is mostly hidden inside the city, and even outside the city, a deep and concealed artillery fortress is built to improve its survival. ability.

Such a line of defense can easily be turned into a war of attrition according to the conventional method, and it must be a war of attrition participated by the regular army of the Eighth Route Army: recruits drawn from the people can be used for defense, but they are not enough for offense.

Offensive warfare is not the same thing as defensive warfare. Offensive warfare is about rushing forward against the enemy's guns. There are barbed wire fences and mines on the ground, and there is rain of bullets from the enemy in front of you. There are shells roaring in the sky, and you have not undergone strict training. It's not bad if the militiamen don't run away from being scared to death, let alone charge.

So there is a problem: the Eighth Route Army has only [-] regular troops in the Northeast, and the [-] regular troops are fighting a war of attrition against the [-] devils who have fortifications...

Even if the Eighth Route Army has air superiority, artillery superiority, and tank superiority, so what?
The battle will still be very fierce, and the advantage of the devil's location will offset the advantage of the Eighth Route Army's equipment to a certain extent.

In other words, the [-] and [-]th Route Army is likely to consume [-] or more.

Such a result is unacceptable to the Eighth Route Army... Only [-] regular troops are left, and the rest are all recruits. It simply cannot resist the next round of attacks from the devils.

This is also the main reason why Wang Xuexin never attacked Fengtian before.

After taking Dalian, it is necessary to build a two-way line of defense on both ends of the east and west: each line of defense is two-sided, internally defending Fengtian City and externally defending against devil reinforcements.

This obviously requires more troops, and it would be impossible if it were not for the addition of more than [-] new recruits.

If the nail of Fengtian can be pulled out, the strength of the army will be reduced by half immediately.

The problem is that it is difficult to unplug it...

Now, the devil's attack gave Wang Xuexin a chance.

Wang Xuexin made several preparations for attacking Fengtian:

First of all, Wang Xuexin distributed a large number of directional mines to the third, fifth, and sixth independent regiments, that is, the three new regiments stationed in this important area...the kind that can explode a large number of steel balls "facing the enemy this way".

Ordinary mines are not very effective on the battlefield anymore, although it can still play a role in delaying the enemy, the kill rate is low and too passive, even the jumping mines are the same, because the devils can use cheap grenades and grenades to open the way.

The directional mine is different. As long as it is inserted into the trench, it can explode a piece of marbles to kill the enemy with a "boom".

The reason why Wang Xuexin would equip the recruits with this kind of directional mine is that it is more practical to control than a rifle, at least for recruits.

With a rifle, you have to aim at three points and one line. The recruits still can't shoot accurately, and they may be killed by well-trained devils if they stick their heads out. There are also maintenance problems. In addition, there may be malfunctions that the recruits will not be able to deal with...

The directional mine does not have these problems, it only needs to be inserted into the trench, and then it will be detonated at a distance.

A recruit carrying a rifle may not be able to kill an enemy... It is not a loss if he can kill one enemy. Killing a dozen or so requires talent and luck.

But if directional mines are used, it is normal for a recruit to kill a dozen or even dozens of enemies.

In addition, what Wang Xuexin assigned to the recruits was the bazooka.

These rocket launchers are also designed to kill enemy infantry: incendiary type, anti-infantry type that can shoot steel balls, and of course armor-piercing type, in case the devils use tanks and the Eighth Route Army does not have anti-tank equipment.

In short, most of the equipment given to the recruits are gadgets that can cause surface damage, and Wang Xuexin's gadgets from the future that can kill enemies on a large scale are more suitable for them.

The reason why Wang Xuexin wants to strengthen the equipment for the recruits in these areas is because these places cannot be easily captured by the devils.

If it is too easy, the devil will feel that something is not right, and this is probably a trap.

But if it was taken after heavy casualties, the devils would think it reasonable, so it would be possible to send more troops to carry out interspersed encirclement.

After these arrangements, Wang Xuexin secretly transferred the "Hundred Battle Brigade" who had never participated in the battle as a reserve team to the west side of Fengtian... This brigade was equipped with thirty T100s equipped with 34MM smoothbore guns purchased from Mao Xiongna. It is said to be the most powerful brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
