Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 814 Variables
Regarding this point, the devil is actually very helpless.

Devils have long known that gun towers cannot defend against rocket launchers, but as long as the enemy has a few rocket launchers, no matter whether the rocket launchers are in the hands of guerrillas or the Eighth Route Army, gun towers are targets and can only be beaten.

But what can the devil do?
With such a long line of communication and such a shortage of troops, it is basically impossible to spread out and use trench defense.

So there is only constant addition of barbed wire, landmines, etc. in front of the gun tower to try to increase the difficulty of the bazooka shooter.

This may still be effective for the guerrillas. The guerrillas have little supplies and lack grenades, so demining becomes very difficult and dangerous.

But for the Eighth Route Army, especially the Independent Regiment, it was too simple. Rows of grenades were thrown forward, and within a short while the minefield was blasted into a wide and long road leading directly to the Devil's gun tower.

At this time, the ghosts in the gun tower had almost run away... To be precise, it should be the puppet army. The troops stationed in the gun tower are usually one or two devils plus a squad of puppet troops.

The devils might hold out in the gun tower, but the puppet army saw that the situation was not good, and knew that the closer the grenade exploded, the closer the bazooka was getting closer, and staying in the gun tower would only lead to death.

They were originally just trying to survive, so they would not care about the devils at this time, and ran around as soon as they retreated.

On the side of the Eighth Route Army, as soon as the bazooka was fired, someone rushed forward with the aftermath of the explosion, and then stuffed explosives and cluster grenades into the perforation... A blockhouse was blown up to the sky like this.

When Li Yunlong watched this scene, he sighed: "Damn it, I don't know how much effort it took to fight the devil's blockhouse back then. We rushed with explosives and covered fire. We don't want to take a few lives. Come down, I didn't expect it to be so easy today!"

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "What? Do you still miss the old days?"

"How can it be!" Li Yunlong replied: "I want to miss the old days, am I stupid? I'm turning a corner to praise Xiao Dongbei. Without those things he made, we're afraid that we will still be the same as before." It's like using human life to pile it up!"

Zhao Gang nodded, and thought to himself, it's not just weapons and equipment. Isn't it because of Xiao Dongbei's textile machines that the independent regiment can expand to its current scale?

Just when the two of them were praising Wang Xuexin, two whistles came from the front... This was a signal set before the battle, indicating that the enemy's defense had been penetrated and the railway occupied.

Li Yunlong immediately ordered: "Tear down the rails immediately, act fast!"

The correspondent responded and passed on the order, so the Eighth Route Army put away their rifles, and with engineer shovels and crowbars, they pried the rails off the sleepers in two or three strokes, and then the guerrillas worked together to pry them up. The group carries the rails and moves backwards according to the direction of the ground.

This night was a fruitful one, and all the troops overfulfilled their missions. The total length of the rails picked up reached more than ten miles, but some of the rails were slightly deformed during the prying and transportation process and needed some corrections.

These are small problems, and the engineers can quickly solve them.

Nejina Okamura frowned when he heard about this, and felt a little strange at the same time.

Shinozuka Yoshio felt that this was normal, and he said to Okamura Ningji: "The Eighth Route Army has always taken actions to destroy our army's railway tracks, but this time the action is on a larger scale. You don't have to worry about this, General. Enough tracks to reopen in a few hours!"

Neiji Okamura shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about that!"

"Then, Your Excellency the General..."

"Xiaozuka-kun!" Neiji Okamura said, "Don't you think it's strange? The Eighth Route Army rarely used regular troops to attack our army's railroad tracks, and they used regular troops on such a large scale!"

Neiji Okamura is right. Raiding railways is usually done by guerrillas. Regular troops are easily surrounded by devils and trapped in trouble when they dispatch large-scale operations. The result is that the gains outweigh the losses.

Shinozuka Yoshio thought for a while, and then replied: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army did this to cooperate with the stubborn army? After all, they have cooperated again now. What's more, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army has also been greatly improved. Their regular troops already have the strength to confront our army head-on, so it turns from the dark to the clear!"

Neiji Okamura nodded, and said: "What you said makes sense, but... this is not the only strange thing. Think about it, the Eighth Route Army has already occupied Zhongtiao Mountain and has its own iron ore and even an iron factory. They Do we still need to reuse the rails as before? If their purpose is to destroy our military traffic, they only need to burn down the rails, why take them away?"

This actually stopped Shinozuka Yoshio from asking.

This is indeed a problem. The Eighth Route Army did this during the Hundred Regiments War. They did not have enough capacity to transport the rails away in time, so they burned the sleepers on the spot, put the rails on the sleepers, and smashed them with a hammer after melting. ...

This is even more fatal to the destruction of the railway.

Because these smashed rails can no longer be used at all, and the sleepers have also been burned and need to be relaid.

In addition, this method is very time-saving for the Eighth Route Army.

To put it simply, the Eighth Route Army can destroy more railroad tracks with this method within the same period of time.

But this time...

The Eighth Route Army only pried away the rails but did not burn the sleepers. This is indeed unreasonable for the Eighth Route Army, which has iron ore and does not lack iron.

Unless, what they lack is the rails.

But how is it possible!

The Eighth Route Army didn't even have trains, so what's the point of them wanting rails!

Yoshio Shinozuka thought this idea was absurd, so he didn't mention it.

Okamura Neiji said: "What's more, there was once today, and there may be another tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If we allow the Eighth Route Army to destroy our army's communication lines without countermeasures, we know that this means What? Means that we are going to be endlessly trapped in supplementary railways and traffic interruptions! This will never be allowed and must be stopped!"

"Yes!" Yoshio Shinozuka stepped forward to answer.

But even though he said so in his mouth, he was thinking in his heart...it's not easy to say, the road is not counted, and the railway alone has more than 1000 kilometers.

As the defensive side, we must guard every part of the more than 1000 kilometers, but the Eighth Route Army can attack any point.

But Neiji Okamura really had a solution. He walked around the desk a few times before ordering: "Two armored trains are dispatched immediately! We need them to protect the safety of the traffic line, especially at this time!"

"Yes!" Yoshio Shinozuka responded, and he had to admit that armored trains were indeed a sharp weapon for protecting traffic lines, and they were much more effective than gun towers.

Wang Xuexin on the other side didn't know that Li Yunlong's pawing the railroad tracks was too hard, which directly caused the devils to call in a big killer, which caused some changes in his plan.
