Chapter 477 Preparing to Attack
"The task of our brigade is to open a hole in the stronghold line built by the devils along the Xinqiang River. This is the first battle since the establishment of the Tenth Army. The three armies crossed the river to attack in three places along the Xinqiang River. Let us entrust the first brigade with the task of taking the lead. Before, we were passively beaten, but this time we took the initiative to kick the devil's ass. The battle must be fought beautifully!"

"Facing the front of the devil stronghold on the other side of the Xinqiang River, the casualties of a frontal attack are bound to be large. Lao Li, you just studied in the Hengshan Yougan Class for three months, and the military department also advocated that we use guerrilla tactics. What do you think? "

Li Chong looked at the topographic map of the Xinqiang River and said thoughtfully, "It is not the bunkers on the edge of the stronghold that are difficult to attack. With the current artillery base of our brigade, it is enough to destroy them. What we need to pay attention to is that the devils are based on the position and use The green bricks are used to build a large cylindrical stronghold, which is where the devils rest and set up troops every day."

"Once we launch a big and powerful attack, it is bound to alarm the devils in the stronghold, and they can quickly come out of the stronghold and enter the defensive position along the tunnel."

"Facing the enemy's well-defended positions, I suggest that battalions and companies be used as the basic combat units. When the large forces arrive at the edge of the Xinqiang River and are about to launch an attack, first send a sharp knife company or sharp knife battalion to cross the Xinqiang River in advance to infiltrate Enter the blockade line, thereby opening a gap, and then the large army will consolidate the gap, and then gain a firm foothold on the other side of the Xinqiang River!"

"At the same time, with the battalion and company as the basic combat unit, it will inevitably be unable to carry cannons due to manpower. You can bring more machine guns and ammunition. Once the battalion and company performing the infiltration mission successfully break through and enter the Japanese defense line, when our army attacks the Japanese position directly , They can be turned into several groups of troops and launch a surprise attack from the devil's flanks to relieve the pressure of my frontal attack."

Li Chong's idea is to rush forward and charge across the river with a gun. Although there is a high probability of defeating the enemy on the opposite side, it will cost huge casualties after all. If he can infiltrate in advance with a battalion of sharp knives, he can imagine being a devil on the battlefield When our army is trying its best to block the frontal attack, their flanks are suddenly attacked by our sharp knife battalion or sharp knife company, which can naturally relieve the pressure of the frontal attack.

Of course, if at that time, with the help of the dark night, they can successfully infiltrate the devil's defense line, and lock some of the devils in the attacking direction of their own side in the stronghold in advance, that would be good.

After three months of advanced training in the Hengshan Yougan Class, one set of guerrilla tactics and one set of thinking, Li Chong was not greedy so much, just like practicing martial arts, a set of boxing and a set of kicks is enough for him to study for a lifetime, so in the end When I left the field trip, I condensed what I had learned into two tricks and absorbed them into my mind.

One trick penetrates through small stocks and cooperates with the main force;

Another trick is to disperse and harass, cover up the main force, and confuse people's sight with falsehood.

Fighting guerrillas, Li Chong was going to use these two tactics to greet the devils.

After Chen Tinghe listened, he nodded deeply, put his left hand on his hip, pointed at Xinqiang Town with his right hand and said:
"For a company, the number of people is less, and the number of people in a battalion is acceptable. To perform such a mission, it is necessary to send out the most powerful sharp knife battalion. It will be cheap at that time. As long as a gap can be opened at once, the devils of this regiment will There is nothing to be afraid of, hehe, five thousand devils are not as many as one brigade of mine, let alone our three main forces attacking together, who is afraid! Hahaha!"

At present, according to the daily training results, Chen Tinghe quickly selected the best infantry sharp-knife battalion from below, and then equipped each platoon of the sharp-knife battalion with two light machine guns, and gave them enough machine gun bullets and grenades. Equipped with light mortars and shells.

After instilling the task of the Sharp Knife Battalion, the whole brigade set off and began to rush to the frontier position of Xinqiang River.

Starting at sunset, the whole brigade rushed towards the Xinqiang River without stopping. All the officers and soldiers were sweating profusely throughout the night.

At 02:30 in the morning, as the vanguard brigade of the [-]th Army, the Temporary First Brigade arrived at the bank of the Xinqiang River first. The water plants and reeds on the river bank of our side were mighty, but most of the devils' side were cut bare.

As the front line of the confrontation between the two armies, Xinqiang River has set up guards along the river.The river is wide and narrow. The wide part is more than a hundred meters, but the narrow part is only more than ten meters. The river is not deep. According to previous records, when there is no flood, the deepest part of the river The depth of the river is no more than the depth of a long punt pole. As for the shallow river, an adult can still stand up with his head out.

The devils on the other side of the river used bunkers to lock up the narrow part of the river. In the dark night and under the moonlight, the outlines could be seen vaguely, and the foundations of the bridges on both sides of the river were still missing.

There were no searchlights dangling on the river, because if the searchlights were erected, they would be blown up by machine guns from both sides.

But in the place where the river is [-] meters wide, there are no bunkers, only a few small outposts.

Whether it was the devils or the national army, no one would think that someone would cross the [-]-meter-wide water in silence. As long as there was a little movement, both sides could quickly set up machine guns and lay a fire blockade on the river surface with bullets.

When the devils attacked Changsha before, this river became the natural defense line of the national army on the Xinqianghe position, and I don't know how many devils were buried.

As an aborigine on the Xinqianghe position, the 52th Regiment deployed by the 74nd Army on the Xinqianghe frontier position did not attack in advance, but waited for the Tenth Army and the [-]th Army to be in place, according to the order of the Minister's Department Attack together.

The guerrilla combat plan submitted by the temporary brigade was approved by the military department, and then the executive department also agreed. It would be great if the Japanese army position on the other side of the Xinqiang River could be captured while reducing casualties.

The Ministry of Ministers believed that this idea of ​​learning guerrilla warfare was worth trying, so they set the attack time of the three armies at four o'clock, allowing the sharp knife battalion of the first brigade to infiltrate first.

This is equivalent to letting the sharp knife battalion of the temporary first brigade take the lead in this active attack!
On the forward position, brigade commander Chen Tinghe, deputy brigade commander Li Chong, and the chief of staff stood in front of the Jiandao Battalion. Under the moonlight, there were figures of people.

At this moment, at a position in Xinqianghe, Li Chong took the telegram and read: "The military department transferred to the command of the commander of the war zone: order the army to launch an attack on time at four o'clock! In other words, the sharp knife battalion now has more than one and a half hours to infiltrate Go to the other side!"

Chen Tinghe stepped forward and looked at the officers and soldiers of the Jiandao Battalion with a serious face, "Time is running out, I won't say much, go to the ocean!"

After the words were finished, twenty soldiers were in groups of two, and five baskets were filled with oceans. The officers and soldiers of a battalion standing here solemnly stood at attention, regardless of their size, each handed out ten oceans.
