Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 28
Duan Peng wanted Wang Chengzhu to help him avenge him, so he naturally knew everything about the other party's problems and talked endlessly.

He told Wang Chengzhu that it was the devils from Donghui Township who learned that there was an Eighth Route Army in Duanjiagou, so they mopped up and massacred Duanjiagou.

In order to take revenge, Duan Peng also went to Donghui Township to investigate. He learned that Donghui Township had about a small group of devils stationed there, and in addition, there was a company of puppet troops.

A standard squad of devils has 54 people, and a company of puppet troops has about 150 people.

In other words, there are about 200 enemies in Donghui Township.

Now Wang Chengzhu has more than 300 people in his hands, far surpassing the Japanese puppet army in Donghui Township in terms of military strength. In terms of weapons and equipment, they are much better than the Japanese puppet army in Donghui Township because of the existence of the Type [-] infantry artillery.

This is a solid battle for prosperity.

Even in a head-on firefight, Wang Chengzhu is sure to destroy this group of enemies.

However, many of the current artillery platoons are recruits who have never been on the battlefield, and their actual combat experience is severely lacking, and there are still many ordinary people in Donghui Township.

If they directly attack Donghui Township, not only may innocent people be injured, but they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

What's more, if they launch an attack directly, the Japanese and puppet troops occupy a favorable terrain and there are many solid fortifications to defend, which may not end the battle in a short time.

Once the battle situation falls into anxiety, the situation of the artillery platoon will be in a bad situation when the Japanese and puppet troops from other places come to reinforce them.

A strong attack will definitely not work, but the revenge of the people in Duanjiagou must be avenged.

What's more, it's not a problem for recruits to train all the time. They must go to the battlefield to practice. Only in this way can they increase their actual combat experience and improve their combat effectiveness.

In this way, it can only be outsmarted.

Eighth Route Army!
The devils in Donghui Township learned that there was an Eighth Route Army in Duanjiagou, so they mopped up and massacred Duanjiagou.

Wang Chengzhu suddenly grasped the important point, whether he could use the Eighth Route Army as a bait to lure out the gang of devils in Donghui Township.

Then, they find a suitable location to lay an ambush...

Wang Chengzhu is not an arbitrary person, and, in terms of war, although he has learned a lot of experience through filming and watching anti-Japanese TV dramas, this is very different from the actual situation.

Wang Chengzhu decided to listen to everyone's opinions, so he asked the orderly to arrange for Duan Peng to go down to rest and eat, and then called Xu Hailang, Liu Qiang, Wang Shugen, Tian Shuisheng and other backbones of the artillery platoon.

After everyone was seated, Wang Chengzhu first told about the tragedy of Duanjiagou, then explained his thoughts again, and then asked everyone: "Everyone, what do you think?"

After the 3rd company of the Imperial Association Army was incorporated by Wang Chengzhu, Xu Hailang changed from the original company commander to the deputy platoon leader, but he had no complaints about it.

Because he rose up for the purpose of resisting the Japanese and fighting the devils, not for promotion and fortune, otherwise he would not have defected to the Eighth Route Army, which is poor and white, and has the most difficult conditions.

Liu Qiang, the former deputy company commander, became the staff officer of the artillery platoon, mainly responsible for managing logistics and training recruits.

Originally, as a platoon-level unit, there would be no position of staff officer, but Wang Chengzhu's artillery platoon was not an ordinary platoon-level unit.

Moreover, didn't the regiment leader Li Yunlong say that as long as the troops are well developed, the platoon leaders below don't need to report any other matters, whether it is combat operations or personnel appointments, and they will all decide on their own.

Besides, although Wang Chengzhu's troops are only organized as a platoon now, won't they be a battalion or even a regiment in the future?

Isn't it too much to set up a staff position in advance?

As the second in command of the artillery platoon, Xu Hailang took the lead in expressing his opinion: "Platoon leader, we have to avenge the people of Duanjiagou, and the training of the recruits has also achieved some results. We can just take this opportunity to temper their actual combat experience." .”

"If the plan is successful, we will not only be able to avenge the people of Duanjiagou, but also temper the actual combat experience of the recruits."

"Even if the plan fails, we can calmly evacuate from the vast remaining veins of Luliang Mountain."

"The deputy platoon leader's analysis is good. Whether it is to avenge the people of Duanjiagou or to temper the recruits, this one-ticket deal is worth doing and must be done!"

Everyone present, almost everyone has a blood feud with the devils, and if they have the opportunity to fight the devils, and they have a high winning rate, of course they will not object.

So they all nodded in agreement and agreed to the proposal of platoon leader Wang Chengzhu to send troops.

The first action meeting ends with a vote of all hands.

Next, everyone made a detailed deployment of the entire action plan.

The first thing to consider is the location of the ambush.

As a resident of Wangjia Village, Wang Chengzhu basically knows the terrain of the nearby ten miles and eight villages like the palm of his hand.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that the ambush location was chosen at Camel Ridge.

Camel Ridge also belongs to the remaining range of Luliang Mountain. It is about 20 kilometers away from Wangjia Village. It is composed of two peaks with a height of more than 100 meters. From a distance, it looks like two humps, so it is named Luotuo Ridge.

The terrain of Camel Ridge is quite dangerous. A winding dirt road passes between the two peaks. The high slopes on both sides are covered with weeds and shrubs. If people hide in it, they will not be able to find it unless they get closer.

It can be said that Camel Ridge is a natural ambush site.

Immediately, Wang Chengzhu called Duan Peng to the platoon headquarters.

Wang Chengzhu first briefly explained the entire battle plan to Duan Peng, and then said: "We need someone to lure the devils and puppet soldiers from Donghui Township into our ambush circle."

Duan Peng immediately understood what Wang Chengzhu meant, and said, "Platoon leader, I am willing to lure out the devils and puppet soldiers from Donghui Township!"

Wang Chengzhu said again: "Duan Peng, you have to think carefully, this process is very dangerous, if you don't do it, you will lose your life."

Duan Peng gritted his teeth and said, "In order to avenge my mother and the folks in Duanjiagou, I'm not afraid of great danger!"

Wang Chengzhu: "Okay! You are a man. As long as you can lure out the devils and puppet soldiers from Donghui Township, I will definitely avenge your mother and the villagers of Donghui Township!"
