Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1896 Heroes See the Same Thing

Since the Eighth Route Army withdrew from Pingan Village, Li Yunlong has been commanding the battle in the Songyuan area.

Before the amphibious landing ship arrived, he felt that something was getting worse and worse.

This is not because Songyuan is surrounded by Japanese soldiers...

Songyuan was indeed surrounded by Japanese soldiers, but this siege was just an illusion.

There are several regiments of regular troops in Songyuan, plus militias formed by the common people, and a large amount of captured supplies. No external reinforcements are needed. No matter how hard the Japanese attack, it will be in vain.

There are also three mechanized regiments commanded by Li Yunlong for mobile operations outside. Whenever they want to enter Songyuan, they can attack from inside and outside and eliminate a group of Japanese at the same time.

In the end, the Japanese could only open up a channel and build two semi-circular fortifications on both sides of Songyuan with the Songhua River behind them to semi-encircle Songyuan... Only such fortifications can encircle a deep defense, otherwise they will be attacked by the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army. It's easy for the entire system to collapse upon impact.

As for the middle part, the Japanese hope to establish a foothold on both sides and then use barbed wire, trenches and bunker fortifications to slowly encroach into the middle. Over time, Songyuan can be completely surrounded and blocked.

But even so it is difficult for the devil to succeed.

The reason is that the Eighth Route Army fighter planes will fly over Songyuan from time to time to ensure air superiority, and the artillery, in conjunction with the artillery detection radar, will fire a few shots at the Japanese barracks when there is nothing wrong... This makes the Japanese feel like they are struggling to survive under the firepower of the Eighth Route Army. , where is the ambition to encircle the Eighth Route Army?

But Li Yunlong is very dissatisfied with the current situation.

At this time, the Independent Regiment was hiding in a mountain col. Half-tracks, tanks, etc. were all camouflaged and hidden in the forest.

Although the Eighth Route Army has air superiority over this area, it does not mean that the Eighth Route Army will fly fighter planes over the mechanized troops to provide cover for them at any time... This is unrealistic and also exposes the position of the mechanized troops in another way.

Therefore, mechanized troops lurk and hide when there are no missions.

Otherwise, if the Japanese use fighter planes to launch a surprise attack, the mechanized troops will suffer heavy losses.

Li Yunlong wore a straw hat and squatted under an old tree, frowning at the map spread out on the ground.

Zhao Gang tiptoed to Li Yunlong and asked in a low voice: "Old Li, what are you worried about? We are winning the battle on the front line, but you have a grimace like a Japanese invader entering the village!"

Li Yunlong said "tsk tsk" a few times and replied: "Old Zhao, you said Xiaodongbei's way of fighting...won't all the Japs run away? We have been struggling for so long to attack Ping'an Village and Songyuan, and the result is You occupied a piece of land and got nothing?"

"Isn't the land occupied enough?" Zhao Gang asked with a smile: "Old Li, we are not fighting to kill as many Japs as we can, but to seize back all the land that belongs to us and drive the Japs out!"

"I know!" Li Yunlong replied with trembling hands: "But if we kill all the Japs, sooner or later the land will not be ours? But if we only rob the land without killing the Japs, the Japs will retreat to the northwest... We will still have to fight in the future!" What a great opportunity now, it’s called beating the drowned dog, if you wait until the Japanese have gained a firm foothold and are ready to fight, then you will be in trouble!”

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Li Yunlong was speaking rudely, but in the long run, this was indeed the case.

"Then how do you think we should fight?" Zhao Gang asked.

Li Yunlong pointed to the bridge on the Songhua River and said: "No matter what 21 is, let's blow up the bridge first. Don't we have air control? Once the bridge is blown up, it will be troublesome for the Japanese to cross the river. Will they use ships or build pontoons?" Just build the pontoon bridge and then blow it up, see how many people they can pull back!"

Zhao Gang nodded slightly as he listened. It really seemed like that. Once several bridges on the Songhua River exploded, most of the 20 Japanese on the south bank would be trapped. Even if they could cross the river, they would have to be skinned.

Even Zhao Gang is a little strange now. Why haven't his superiors blown up the bridge yet?At this moment, a communications soldier stepped forward and handed over a telegram: "Report to the regiment commander that a batch of supplies will be transported to Songyuan tonight. The superiors ordered our regiment to protect the supplies and arrive safely and be on standby in Songyuan!"

Li Yunlong said "Huh", took the telegram and looked at it, then his brows furrowed deeper.

Zhao Gang asked: "Is there anything wrong?"

Li Yunlong casually handed the telegram to Zhao Gang and said: "The mechanized troops should stay outside for mobile operations, but this time we are ordered to stand by in Songyuan..."

Hearing what Li Yunlong said, Zhao Gang understood: "Songyuan is full of private houses, and it is difficult for mechanized troops to hide! Once bombed by the Japanese, our army will probably suffer losses!"

In fact, concealment is still possible.

For example, hide in a house like before, or dig a bunker underground and drive tanks or half-tracks into it, and then cover it with canvas!
The point is that this means that the mechanized troops are equivalent to being useless...Songyuan is full of obstacles and ruins, and there are many lakes on the periphery, as well as barbed wire and mines pulled up by the Japanese. Such terrain and conditions are not suitable for mechanized troops to fight.

Li Yunlong slowly stood up and took two steps back and forth with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself:
"What the hell is this guy Xiao Dongbei doing?"

"What are these supplies?"

"Songyuan still lacks this batch of supplies?"

……

Then Li Yunlong figured it out. He clapped his thighs and ran to squat in front of the map. Then he laughed "hehehehe" and said, "He has such a skill, I didn't even think of it!"

Zhao Gang was puzzled by this and asked, "What's so good about him?"

Li Yunlong didn't answer. He tapped his finger on Songyuan, then crossed to the Songhua River, and then walked all the way down the river after reaching the north bank...

Zhao Gang understood immediately, and then nodded excitedly: "If we fight like this, even if there is a bridge, the Japanese will not be able to cross a few people! What's more, we can still blow up the bridge when the time comes!"

Li Yunlong said "hmm": "I estimate that this batch of supplies sent to Songyuan is a pontoon for us to cross the river! And it will probably be tonight!"

"Tonight?" Zhao Gang said, "Isn't it too hasty?"

Li Yunlong shook his head and said: "If we wait until dawn, we will have to build concealment fortifications for tanks and half-track vehicles in Songyuan overnight, and the Japanese will wonder why we stayed in Songyuan and didn't go out! If the soldiers are so quick, we can fight tonight, so Only then can the Japanese be caught off guard!"

Then Li Yunlong gave the order: "Pass the order, take the time to rest, and prepare to carry out the mission tonight! Everyone must fall asleep for me!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong is indeed a commander who has experienced hundreds of battles, or it can be said that he has the same vision as a hero. Wang Xuexin's plan made him almost guess.

But there was one thing he never expected: the tool Wang Xuexin gave them to cross the river was an amphibious landing craft instead of a pontoon.
