Chapter 469 Anti-tank trench
One of the benefits of joining the Jinsui Army is that I learned more detailed information about Yuncheng from Chu Yunfei.

This was the seventh day after the arrival of the tanks, another emergency meeting was held at the headquarters.

It was late because Wang Xuexin’s ride had a breakdown on the road. When they arrived, the meeting room was already full of people, and the chief’s meeting had already started.

Seeing Li Yunlong and others coming in, the chief said with displeasure: "What's the trick? It's all mechanized, and it's slower than others riding horses!"

Li Yunlong stood up and saluted, and replied: "Report to the chief, if the horse doesn't run away, we can just kick it twice, and it's useless to kick it with mechanized things. If it wasn't for Xiaodongbei's tinkering a few times, we won't be here yet! "

All the cadres laughed together when they heard this.

"Sit down quickly!" said the chief of staff, "I'll wait for you. You are the only one in the army with tanks. Only then did you realize that the Independent Regiment Meeting couldn't be held without you!"

Li Yunlong loves to hear these words, and before sitting down, he bowed his hands and apologized to the surroundings with an awkward expression: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Who taught us to understand tanks? We don't want to, the chief insists on sending tanks to Independent regiment..."

"It's beautiful!" Kong Jie couldn't help saying: "You know what a fart! Isn't there a little Northeast supporting you?"

"I said Kong Er is an idiot!" Li Yunlong smiled and replied: "If you are not convinced, take this tank? Are you up to it?"

Kong Jie fell silent after being told by Li Yunlong, he really couldn't handle this job.

After Li Yunlong and others sat down, the chief said: "The situation is like this. Recently, we have been getting information that the devils have transferred their troops to the northeast in batches, leaving them empty. Therefore, we want to join forces with the Jinsui Army to attack Yuncheng, comrade What do you think?"

There was an applause immediately in the conference room.

However, someone still got up and said, "Chief, I heard that Yuncheng was handed over to the Jinsui army to garrison after the capture of Yuncheng. Is there such a thing?"

The chief nodded: "What's your opinion on this matter?"

As a result, the cadres refused to agree, and objected in one voice:

"That's such a disadvantage. How can we just give up to the Jinsui army when we take down Yuncheng?"

"However, we have to take a part, and it will be easy to get it back in the future!"

"If you do this, the soldiers will have no energy to fight, and they will all be given to the Jinsui Army anyway!"

……

The chief of staff explained: "Comrades, this matter is really not unfair. First of all, we did not fight Yuncheng for the city itself, but for the iron and copper of Zhongtiao Mountain and the salt of the salt lake. Sooner or later, Yuncheng will be ours, no We are in a hurry. Secondly, our Yuncheng was sold to the Jinsui Army. We took a batch of guns and ammunition and won supplies such as steel and copper. We have to keep our word. Third, this can also reflect the unity of the two armies to the outside world, and it is a national cooperation. It is a very good opportunity, a good start, and a role model! Therefore, we must not only fight, but also fight this battle well!"

The chief of staff did not say one thing, that is to use Yuncheng to transfer the Jinsui army from the second line to the first line to confront the devils... Of course, this cannot be said on the bright side, otherwise it will be passed to Yan Laoxi's ears, Things would not go so smoothly.

However, even if Yan Laoxi knew this was the case, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it... He had no choice, he couldn't choose Yuncheng, right?
It's okay not to, the Eighth Route Army can take it on its own, and the Jinsui Army will watch it by the side!
This is the tragedy of being alone.

There is a saying that "weak countries have no diplomacy", which means that small and weak countries cannot escape the fate of being used as pawns, and no matter how hard they struggle, it is useless.

This actually applies to the military as well.

Prior to this, when the Jinsui Army was strong, even the recalcitrant army did not dare to offend easily, and the Eighth Route Army could not hold a candle to it.

But now and then.

The Jinsui Army fell due to the defeat of the stubborn army at Zhongtiao Mountain, but the Eighth Route Army thrived at this time. The strength of the Eighth Route Army has surpassed the Jinsui Army, so it played a leading role in the cooperation in attacking Yuncheng At the same time, it also took the initiative strategically.

After listening to the chief of staff's explanation, all the cadres said nothing more.

In fact, quite a few of them knew what was going on, but they just saw through and didn't tell the truth.

The chief signaled the staff to distribute the mimeographed map to the cadres, saying: "Another benefit of cooperating with the Jinsui Army is that we have obtained this detailed defense map. Comrades, look, there are many bunkers that we have not detected. If Mao rashly fights, we will suffer a big loss and even affect the entire battle!"

The cadres took a look at the map and couldn't help but gasped. There were indeed many bunkers and fortifications that were not marked on the original map.

The chief of staff held a map and said: "Obviously, the defense of Yuncheng is mainly on the east, west, and north sides. The south side is the salt lake, which is inconvenient to attack, and there are few fortifications. The other three directions are centered on the city wall. There are field fortifications such as high blockhouses, low blockhouses, and plum blossom blockhouses a few meters away. These fortifications form cross-fire protection for each other, and a tight firepower network is formed with the moat outside the moat as a barrier. Even if our army has tanks, we want to take down this A city is not easy!"

Li Yunlong looked at the map for a while, then turned to ask Wang Xuexin: "What do you think? Are there any difficulties?"

Wang Xuexin nodded slowly, frowning, and said, "Commander, if the devils defended us in this city, there might not be such things as moats outside the city. But these fortifications were built by the Jinsui army to prevent devils. ...This is troublesome!"

Li Yunlong understood what Wang Xuexin meant.

The devils always thought that the Eighth Route Army had no tanks, so neither the devils nor the puppet army had any fortifications against tanks.

However, Yuncheng was used by the Jinsui Army to defend against devils, and the Jinsui Army was short of anti-tank equipment, so a large number of anti-tank fortifications were built.

The "outside the moat" mentioned by the chief of staff is actually a series of anti-tank trenches, and they are also hidden anti-tank trenches.

The so-called hidden anti-tank trenches do not show any abnormality on the surface. They are all supported by planks and logs at the bottom, and then covered with soil, so that people can walk on them.

In this way, the devil's reconnaissance plane could not detect the abnormality, which is why the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army did not detect these fortifications.

But as long as the tank is driven upwards... the tank's own weight will immediately collapse the wooden board, and then the tank will fall into it and cannot get out.

Wang Xuexin secretly rejoiced that it was fortunate that he cooperated with the Jinsui Army, otherwise, if the uninformed tank troops moved forward, they might suffer heavy losses and return home.

Of course Li Yunlong knew what was going on, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it, why didn't these fortifications be blown up when the Jinsui army withdrew? Now it's all left to the devils to pick up ready-made ones! "

Kong Jie replied angrily: "Old Li, if the Jinsui Army does this, is it still called the Jinsui Army?"
