The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1335 Duan Peng: Beat him everywhere (first update)

Wei Dayong suddenly became interested, stared at Duan Peng with bright eyes and asked: "How to fight..."

"Can you tell me more details?"

Duan Peng did not answer immediately, but asked Wei Dayong with a serious look on his face: "Chief of Staff..."

"If my prediction is correct, although we paid a high price in fighting guerrillas with the Kwantung Army in the mountains this time, we also seized a large number of weapons and ammunition..."

"I don't know about the other two battalions. Anyway, one battalion captured nearly thirty mortars alone and more than a thousand artillery shells..."

Wei Dayong did not deny: "A lot was indeed captured, especially when the Kwantung Army retreated."

"We specially selected their artillery and heavy troops to fight. In order for the remnants of the Kwantung Army to evacuate the mountains earlier and avoid being dragged into the mountains by us, almost no one paid attention to the mortars and ammunition left on the roadside..."

At this point, Wei Dayong thought for a moment before continuing: "Although the mortars captured by the second and third battalions are not as many as the first battalion, they must be more than twenty, and there should be more than a thousand various artillery shells."

"That's enough..." The serious expression on Duan Peng's face was immediately replaced by excitement.

Analysis with a happy face: "Including our own mortars, we have more than 60 mortars and more than 3,000 rounds of shells. Each mortar can be allocated fifty rounds of shells."

"If used well, these shells alone can disrupt the Kwantung Army's next major sweep against us and drag them to the Jinzhou battlefield..."

Seeing that Wei Dayong was getting more and more confused as he listened, Duan Peng continued his analysis: "My idea is to equip all these sixty mortars with the troops..."

"The whole regiment of soldiers who can fight mortars is divided into ten teams, each team is equipped with six mortars and two hundred rounds of artillery shells, and they are assigned dozens of infantrymen to help transport the mortars and ammunition, and to protect the gunners' safety. "

"All ten artillery units fought their way out of the mountains and sneaked into the Kwantung Army-occupied areas to hide and wait."

"When the Kwantung Army gathers heavy troops to launch the next round of sweeps against us, and has already gone deep into the mountains to encircle and suppress our remaining troops."

"Ten artillery units took the initiative to attack all Kwantung Army strongholds, garrisons, and Japanese expatriate settlements along the railway line from long distances..."

"Of course, if there is an artillery team that can reach outside Jinzhou City and directly attack Jinzhou City with mortars, I have no problem with it."

"By then, the Kwantung Army's Jinzhou defense area will definitely be filled with flames of war, and our Eighth Route Army troops will be everywhere..."

"If the main force of the Kwantung Army that went into the mountains to encircle and suppress us insists on continuing to sweep us away and does not return to aid Jinzhou City, then our ten artillery teams will step up the offensive and take advantage of the lack of troops in the rear of the Kwantung Army to seize a few more strongholds and settlement points. Carry out some sabotage, eliminate more of the Kwantung Army's remaining troops, and take the opportunity to recruit troops at the settlement points to shake the Kwantung Army's dominance in Jinzhou."

"If the main force of the Kwantung Army that went into the mountains to encircle and suppress us is sent back for reinforcements, then our troops can continue to hide in the mountains and regain their strength..."

"If there is a chance, let's try to attack the coal mines controlled by a few little devils, recruit new soldiers from the rescued miners, and expand the army..."

"When the total strength of a regiment returns to 1,000, or more than 1,000, even if the Kwantung Army assembles a main division into the mountains, we can easily deal with it with guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare."

"Anyway, we have no shortage of guns and ammunition now."

"As long as there are people, it's no problem to raise a force of more than 3,000 people."

Wei Dayong agreed with Duan Peng's idea at first, but soon shook his head and objected: "That's wrong..."

"Battle Commander Duan..."

"Your idea is fine, and I support the troops in fighting this way...but there is a big problem."

"Although the artillery losses in the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that just ended were not large, the total number of artillerymen in our hands is only one company. Under the condition of ensuring the combat effectiveness of the artillery, we can equip twenty mortars..." " If you equip the army with sixty mortars at once, where will we get so many gunners? We can’t possibly let riflemen operate the mortars, right?”

"Even if they can set up the mortar, the shells fired are not very accurate. Even if we have many shells, we can't be so loud..."

Duan Peng answered confidently: "Chief of Staff..."

"The gunner problem is not as serious as imagined..."

"Although I equip each artillery unit with six mortars, they only need two qualified gunners, and the rest are replaced by ammunition handlers and riflemen."

"We sneak into enemy-occupied areas and proactively attack the Kwantung Army's strongholds, gun towers, expatriate settlements, and even county towns."

"The initiative in combat is completely in our hands, and we have the final say when to launch the attack."

"The troops have plenty of time to set up artillery before the attack..."

"As long as there is enough time, a good mortar operator can set up six mortars at the same time, not to mention three mortars."

"As long as the mortar is set up, the shooting elements are adjusted, and the target is aimed, the simple task of loading and shooting can be left to the ammunition hand and rifleman."

After the only problem Wei Dayong thought of was solved, the worried expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he immediately stood up to support: "Then do it..."

"The troops are divided into two groups..."

"You came up with the idea of ​​taking the initiative, and you have a quick mind. You are obviously better at operating outside the mountains than I am..."

"I will take all the lightly wounded soldiers and fifty veterans to stay in the mountains to contain the main force of the Kwantung Army who entered the mountains to encircle and suppress us."

"By the way, let's see if there are any coal mines controlled by the Kwantung Army in the mountains where we are hiding."

"If there is, wait until we win the second round of the Kwantung Army's sweep against us, then we can take him down, expand our troops, and restore our strength."

…………

The headquarters of the Kwantung Army Regiment in Chaoyang City has now become the former enemy headquarters of the Northward Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at Huang Yu who came in a hurry, Li Yunlong looked as if he had eaten candied fruit, and said proudly: "Xiao Huang, I fought well in this battle..."

"In two days, we completely wiped out a main force of the Kwantung Army, and also captured Chaoyang City..."

"Damn it, I haven't had such a clean and enjoyable battle in a long time..."

Huang Yu didn't want to attack Li Yunlong's nature, but he still wanted to talk about the problems faced by the troops. After all, the northward detachment went deep into the Northeast alone and was now completely exposed to the Kwantung Army and could be heavily besieged by them at any time.

Only by knowing ourselves and our enemies, and having the courage to face up to our own problems, can the northbound detachment withstand the siege of the Kwantung Army, defend the base, and establish a firm foothold in the Northeast.

Otherwise, no matter how much credit the troops gain now and how many trophies they capture, they will all be spit out one day in the future.
