Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Wang Chengzhu smiled, and asked without answering, "Chief of Staff, are you talking about the devil's armored train?"

"That's right! You just gave a detailed account of the force structure of the 1st and 9th Brigades of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Forces, as well as the firepower configuration of each stronghold, but you didn't introduce this armored train. I don't know if you were negligent or otherwise. Profound."

The chief of staff nodded and said, "This armored train is not only equipped with 105mm caliber howitzers and 75mm caliber dual-purpose artillery, but also equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. Its firepower is not inferior to that of an infantry regiment. A moving Firebase."

Not only Wang Chengzhu had independent reconnaissance, but the Eighth Route Army also had reconnaissance and collected various information on the Zhengtai Railway Line. In many respects, it was even more detailed than Wang Chengzhu.

Because after all, Wang Chengzhu was only one person, or just a regiment, while the Eighth Route Army mobilized all its forces, and even spies lurking inside the Japanese and puppet army.

Wang Chengzhu thought for a while and said, "Chief of Staff, I already have a countermeasure for this armored train."

Chief of Staff: "If you want to say that this armored train has a shortcoming, it probably has to rely on the railway for maneuvering. Once the rails are damaged, this armored train will lose its maneuverability. It has no firepower and can no longer attack us. threatening."

Li Yunlong said: "Chief of Staff, how easy is this problem to solve? Why don't we just blow up the Zhengtai Railway?"

The chief of staff shook his head: "If it's just blowing up ordinary railway tracks, it's meaningless, because the devil railway soldiers can quickly repair them.

Unless we can blow up the bridges or tunnels on the Zhengtai Railway, then it is possible to disable the armored train of the devil. "

"But the key issue is that those 12 large strongholds are built near the bridges and tunnels of the Zhengtai Railway Line, and besides this armored train, there are also a large number of road-rail dual-purpose armored vehicles patrolling back and forth on the Zhengtai Railway Line.

Therefore, before destroying those 12 large strongholds, we have no way to get close to the Zhengtai Railway, let alone blast bridges and tunnels. "

"Without destroying bridges and tunnels, there is no way to stop the devil's armored train."

"But if the armored train is not forced to stop, it can be reinforced at any time, and we have no way to destroy these 12 large strongholds of the devils."

"It's an endless loop!"

After listening to the chief of staff's analysis, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and other main regiment leaders, as well as several heads of the brigade headquarters all lost face.

Because the little devils can destroy their entire operation plan with just this armored train.

However, the brigade commander still had no expression fluctuations on his face, like a strategist sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

It's not that he has any countermeasures, but that he believes that Wang Chengzhu has done so much reconnaissance on the Zhengtai railway line, and formulated such a detailed strategy for defeating the enemy. It is absolutely impossible to ignore such an important detail as the Devil's armored train.

Seeing the brigade commander's eyes fixed on Wang Chengzhu, the rest of the people also turned their heads and turned their eyes away.

The brigade commander smiled and said, "Didn't Zhuzi say that he has a countermeasure?"

It was only then that everyone remembered that Wang Chengzhu seemed to have said this when the chief of staff introduced the weakness of the devil's armored train.

Li Yunlong was impatient, so he immediately asked: "Zhuzi, you should hurry up and say, why did you lose the chain at the critical moment, mother-in-law and mother-in-law are coy, are you deliberately teasing our appetite?"

"Surprise attack!" Wang Chengzhu slowly spit out two words.

Li Yunlong: "What kind of surprise attack?"

Wang Chengzhu: "Before the main force of the division launches a full-scale attack, the Spike Special Forces of our Second Independent Regiment will launch an attack on the devil's armored train! Kill the devil soldiers above and take control of this armored train! "

"At that time, not only will this armored train not be an obstacle to our 129th Division, but it will become a firepower guarantee for us to attack the large strongholds of the devils, and even the county town and Niangziguan."

"That's a good idea!" Li Yunlong nodded in agreement: "With the artillery support of this armored train, it will be much easier for our Xinyi regiment to take down Niangziguan, and the casualties will definitely be greatly reduced."

Cheng Xiazi was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "Li Dayehu, what do you mean? What do you mean that it will be much easier for the Xinyi regiment to win Niangziguan, and the casualties will be greatly reduced?
Did the brigade commander say that you would hand over the main task of attacking Niangziguan to your Xinyi Regiment? "

Li Yunlong: "Blind Cheng, you..."

Li Yunlong wanted to say more, but he was stopped by the brigade commander's eyes. There was no way. As we all know, the brigade commander > Li Yunlong > the king of heaven.

Cheng Xiazi naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

The brigade commander looked at Wang Chengzhu again: "Zhuzi, how sure are you?"

Wang Chengzhu: "There is no absolute in everything, if I say that I am 100% sure, the brigade commander and all the leaders here will certainly not believe it.

But what I want to say is that our Spike Special Forces did a lot of tracking and reconnaissance on the armored train of the Devils. "

"In order to find out the operation rules of this armored train, I not only asked Sun Yuliang, the brigade commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, but also sent a large number of people to conduct a relay investigation, and followed the train to the Zhengtai railway line for several times. back and forth.

Even the army horses were exhausted from running, and several of them died. "

"The patrol range of this armored train is from Jinzhong to Niangziguan, and will pass through several counties such as Shouyang, Yangquan, and Pingdi. The entire journey is about 150 kilometers, and the average speed of the patrol is about 40 kilometers per hour.

In addition to adding coal and water at the departure station and terminal station, coal and water will also be added at Binh Dinh Railway Station. "

Speaking of this, Wang Chengzhu's voice suddenly paused, his tone changed, and he continued: "Due to the lack of Japanese troops and the fact that this is the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area, Pingding Railway Station has a small Japanese army garrisoned. Besides, the rest of the garrisons are from the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, that is, Sun Yuliang's people."

"Soldiers of the Spike Special Forces will disguise themselves as the Imperial Association Army in advance, sneak into the Pingding Railway Station, and then wait for the train to refuel at the station, take the opportunity to kill the devil soldiers on the train, and control the armored train!"

"At that time, this armored train can cooperate with the regiments to participate in the attack on the major strongholds!"

Although Wang Chengzhu's plan was perfect, the brigade commander was still a little uneasy, and said: "Zhuzi, although your plan is perfect, but for such a large combat operation, all hopes are pinned on your Langya special The team is irresponsible.

It's not that I don't believe in the ability of the Spike Special Forces, but it's a matter of great importance, which concerns the lives of more than 129 comrades in my [-]th division!
So there must be a backup plan, and if this plan fails, we at least have room for remediation! "
