Chapter 1724 Guerrilla War

Wang Xuexin felt that the tactics used by the devils were familiar, so he thought about it carefully: Bypassing the frontal defense line to attack the enemy's logistics supply line, and also using mountainous areas, isn't that the guerrilla tactic used by the Eighth Route Army?Why did the devil use it?

So there is no fixed number of tactics. When the devils were equipped with good equipment and quality, the Eighth Route Army could not attack directly and could only fight guerrilla warfare. Today, the Eighth Route Army’s equipment and quality have improved, and it is the devil’s turn to use guerrilla warfare. It's just a lethal and inhuman gas bomb.

Wang Xuexin asked Li Changfu in a telegram: "How do you plan to solve this problem?"

Li Changfu only answered one sentence: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the soil! The devil wants to play guerrilla warfare with me, so I will play with him as much as I want!"

So Wang Xuexin understood that Li Changfu planned to organize guerrillas in the mountains to deal with the devils.

However, is this really a good solution?

If it was the past, when the Eighth Route Army had no advantage in equipment, we would have wished for the devils to go into the mountains to fight against the Eighth Route Army, because then the devil's planes, artillery, and tanks would be useless.

But now... the Eighth Route Army has the advantage in terms of aircraft, artillery and tanks, not the devils, especially the Hundred Battles Brigade is still highly mechanized.

It is true that the Eighth Route Army is a veteran of guerrilla warfare, and it is true that those who have experience and tactics to fight guerrillas in the mountains are better than devils, but in the end it is still a matter of using people to fight against people.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuexin called back: "Be safe and don't get bored, get ready to attack!"

As he said that, Wang Xuexin immediately gave Zhang Zihui an order: "The situation is urgent, start pre-battle training!"

Then an order was given to the research institute: "Immediately produce a batch of independent battalions of night vision equipment!"

Wang Xuexin was in such a hurry because he felt the danger.

The devil's attack on the supply line of the Hundred Wars Brigade with poison gas this time is probably just a "test", that is to say, to see if it works like this.

If they can, then they will spread out in an organized manner, and the casualties of the Eighth Route Army will not be more than 300 people, but tens of thousands or even more.

Wang Xuexin guessed right, this is the tactic that Umezu Yoshijiro figured out.

The 20th Division was able to block the Eighth Route Army. To be honest, it was a bit of luck: it was a mountainous area, and there was only one exit at the front desk.

Otherwise, the mechanized units of the Eighth Route Army would have already detoured and started to divide and outflank.

Now, although the Eighth Route Army is blocked, the imperial army can't fight out at the same time... Gas bombs are limited in range. Although the empire also has howitzer version of poison gas bombs, they dare not use them.

There is no other reason. The Eighth Route Army has artillery detection radar. As long as the howitzer fires, the artillery shells in the direction of the Eighth Route Army will come over immediately. Not only will they not be able to kill the Eighth Route Army, but the poison gas bombs will explode on their own positions, causing a large number of casualties in the imperial army.

Therefore, the empire could only use Type 94 90MM caliber mortars to fight gas bombs, and the longest range of this mortar was only [-] kilometers, and they were all aimed at the frontline troops of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, Umezu Yoshijiro knew that the front-line troops of the Eighth Route Army had already been equipped with gas masks and made various anti-virus preparations, and the gas bombs had very limited damage to them.

what can we do about it?

Umezu Yoshijiro's eyes naturally turned to the mountains.

"Mortar, isn't it suitable for fighting in mountainous areas?" Umezu Yoshijiro said to the chief of staff: "Why can't we ambush gas bombs in mountainous areas?"

Saying that, Umezu Yoshijiro tapped the Changbai Mountains next to him with his finger.

The chief of staff was taken aback, and said: "Your Excellency, it is not easy to transport gas bombs in the mountains!"

What the chief of staff said is indeed a problem. The plains can be transported by trucks, and the transport of shells in the mountainous areas requires imperial soldiers to carry them on their shoulders. The difficulty is not trivial.

Especially transporting gas bombs is extremely dangerous.

Ordinary shells are nothing. If they are detonated without a fuze or detonated by explosives, they will usually not explode. Even if they fall and collide, there will be no problems.

Poison gas bombs are different. This kind of shell is actually a layer of iron skin with poison gas compressed inside. Once it falls out of a crack, the gas will leak out bit by bit without the troops knowing. It goes without saying what the result will be. , it is very likely that the troops were wiped out before they reached their destination.

But Umezu Yoshijiro replied: "There is a saying in the Chinese people, 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub'. Only by taking risks can you succeed! So..."

Thinking of this, Umezu Yoshijiro no longer hesitated, and immediately trained and organized three troops to carry out infiltration.

The reason for "training" is because the mountain combat troops do not understand the protection and related knowledge of gas bombs, and it is necessary to conduct emergency training for them before departure.

These three units can be said to be experimental, that is, to see if the plan is feasible. Immediately afterwards, Umezu Yoshijiro trained a brigade of more than 1000 people. He planned to divide it into six squadrons with a large amount of poisonous gas. The bullets entered the mountains to attack the rear of the Eighth Route Army.

And this is only the first batch, and there will be a second and third batch after that...

Even Umezu Yoshijiro adopted another feasible plan: the troops did not carry gas bombs for infiltration, and sent transport planes to drop them after reaching an agreed position, and then the troops carried gas bombs into the combat area.

Umezu Yoshijiro thinks this is a good method. It can not only reduce the load and risk of the troops, but also use this method to fight for a long time... The troops that have penetrated to the rear of the Eighth Route Army do not need to return, and will continue to replenish poison gas in this way in the future The bomb launched a long-term strike against the Eighth Route Army.

Before long, the Eighth Route Army would have to retreat due to heavy casualties and lack of supplies.

At this time, Umezu Yoshijiro was a little envious of the helicopters of the Eighth Route Army.

He said: "If we have that kind of helicopter, we can put soldiers and gas bombs into the enemy's rear in the first time, instead of repeatedly tossing like now!"

Objectively speaking, Umezu Yoshijiro’s tactic is feasible, and it will cause serious damage to the supply line of the Eighth Route Army and even the regular troops, because even the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army do not have a set of gas masks, and even if they have gas masks, they cannot guarantee that they will always You can wrap yourself tightly at any moment.

Moreover, what if the devils fired gas bombs late at night when the Eighth Route Army was sleeping?
As for Li Changfu's idea of ​​using guerrilla warfare to deal with guerrilla warfare... This is the wrong direction. Devils will never contact the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.
