Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

"What? Annihilate the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army?"

The faces of Cheng Xiazi, Xu Shengji, Ding Wei and Kong Jie all changed. Not only them, the brigade commander and chief of staff were also stunned.

This goal is quite different from the combat goal determined by the headquarters.

Because objectively speaking, there is still a huge gap between the strength of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army.

For example, the 129th Division has grown to 6 brigades, more than 30 main regiments, and more than 10 soldiers.

However, the training and equipment of the troops are uneven. Almost most of the combat troops do not have heavy firepower weapons, and the artillery towers that want to attack the devils can only be piled up with human lives.

There are quite a few fighters who don't even have guns, or carry spears and knives, or several people share a gun.

In addition, the number of bullets is also pitiful. Usually training can only be aimed at the air, and there is no bullet to practice live ammunition shooting.

Compared with the ghost soldiers who can train with live ammunition, the difference in marksmanship is immediately apparent.

When the Eighth Route Army has combat missions, the infantry generally can only be allocated 3-5 bullets, and the machine gunners have slightly more, but compared with the devils, they are also very different, and even far less than the devils' infantry.

Except, of course, the heavy machine gunner.

On the other hand, devils, bullets can be used almost forcefully, and aircraft, tanks and cannons also have whatever they want.

Therefore, if it confronts the devils head-on, the Eighth Route Army has almost no chance of winning.

Moreover, the reason why the Eighth Route Army decided to carry out raids in the southeast of Shanxi was not only to smash the devil's cage policy, but also to ensure the safety of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base.

Another is to cut off the devil's troop transport line and supply line, the Ping-Han railway line, in order to let the devil focus on one thing and lose another, thereby reducing the frontal pressure of the southern national army.In order to achieve the purpose of delaying the attack of the Central China Devils.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army is not trying to eliminate many devils, but only to cause damage and make the movement bigger, and it is best to attract the devils from the south to the north.

Even if the pressure on the Eighth Route Army will increase, it may even be severely damaged or even destroyed.

But for the sake of the entire Anti-Japanese War situation, the Eighth Route Army will not hesitate to pay some price!

In the entire brigade, only Li Yunlong nodded and agreed.

This guy is not only a troublemaker, but also a master who does bad things and is not afraid of big troubles.

It took a while for the chief of staff to react from the huge shock: "Zhuzi, do you know what you are talking about? These are two Japanese brigades, not two puppet brigades. It is not easy to wipe them out?
You must know that although our 129th Division has a large number of troops, its weapons and equipment are uneven, especially the lack of heavy weapons for attacking fortified areas.

If you blindly attack by force, you will inevitably be smashed.

If this causes the 129th division to be severely damaged, it will not be worth the loss. "

After the initial shock, the brigade commander recovered quickly. At this time, he just looked at Wang Chengzhu with hope.

Because he knew that although Wang Chengzhu and Li Yunlong both liked to take risks, they were very different in essence.

Wang Chengzhu's battle plan may seem risky, but each time it will be carefully considered and deployed in detail, and he will never act rashly because of his enthusiasm.

Among other things, let's talk about the Battle of Huluxia, which can severely damage the Japanese 9th Brigade is a good example.

Therefore, he really wanted to know Wang Chengzhu's specific battle plan.

Wang Chengzhu said: "The independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army is very different from the infantry brigade. Take the 1st independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army as an example. It has only one infantry wing and three infantry brigades under its jurisdiction.

In addition, there are two tank brigades, an artillery brigade, and an engineering squadron.

Therefore, the strength and combat effectiveness of the Japanese independent mixed 1st brigade are far behind that of the conventional field brigade. "

Chief of Staff: "Even so, it will be very difficult for us to destroy it, right? What's more, there is the 9th Brigade in Jinzhong County.

If we can't end the battle in a short time, the devils in Taiyuan will definitely be dispatched as well. "

Wang Chengzhu: "Chief of Staff, the 1st Independent and Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army is not only going to guard Yangquan County, they are also responsible for the defense missions from Yangquan County to Pingding and Niangziguan.

Among them, two infantry brigades and one chariot brigade were stationed scattered among dozens of strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway. Only one infantry brigade and a chariot brigade were actually used to guard Yangquan County.

Even with the addition of the artillery brigade and the guards of the brigade headquarters, as well as the various units directly under it, the number is no more than 3000. "

"As for the 9th Brigade, its entire army was almost wiped out in the Battle of Huluxia a few months ago. Even if it was replenished later, its combat effectiveness will be far from what it used to be."

"Once Yangquan County is in an emergency, the 9th Brigade will come to help quickly, and as long as we set up an ambush halfway, even if we can't wipe it out, we can definitely hit it hard, and we can achieve good results again."

Hearing this, the brigade commander said: "Zhuzi, your battle plan seems to be good, but the premise is that we can take Yangquan County and let the Japanese army independently form the 1st Brigade to ask for help."

"But don't forget that in addition to the 1st independent mixed brigade in Yangquan County, there is also a gendarmerie brigade and the 4th mixed brigade of the Imperial Association Army. This is not a weak combat power."

Wang Chengzhu said: "Brigade Commander, I have naturally taken into account the factors you mentioned. The Japanese military police brigade only has more than 300 people, and this strength will not affect the battle situation at all.

As for the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, hehehe..."

Speaking of this, Wang Chengzhu smiled slyly, and continued: "The brigade commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army is named Sun Yuliang, and he is the uncle of my guard Wei Monk.

Before, I sponsored the Eighth Route Army with 2 yuan in cash, plus 5 catties of flour.

Although he has not confirmed the rebellion, but as long as I work a little bit, it is not difficult to win him over. "

The brigade commander nodded his head deeply: "If this is the case, the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army will even be able to cooperate with us internally and externally. It is really possible to win Yangquan County."

The rest of the people were stunned. Wang Chengzhu's professional ability is too strong, right?
Not only did they get 50 yuan in military expenditures, but they even attracted the brigade commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

Wang Chengzhu nodded, and said: "Well! In my opinion, it is not difficult to take down Yangquan County, and even my independent second regiment can do it.

But our battle plan is not just Yangquan County or Jinzhong County, but all the devil strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway.

This requires the concerted efforts of all participating troops of our 129th Division. "

The brigade commander smiled and said, "Zhuzi, you must have a plan to defeat the enemy, right?"
