Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Japan is the first country in Asia to enter the industrial period, and its industrial foundation is not comparable to that of China, which is still in the agricultural period.

Moreover, China's weak industrial industries are basically in the hands of the Kuomintang.

The powerful industry enabled the Japanese army to have perfect means of communication, and could grasp the front-line information in time.

Compared with the Japanese army, the communication methods of the Eighth Route Army were much behind. The brigade headquarters and above could barely achieve radio communication, but sometimes there was no signal.

As for the combat units below the regiment level, the basic functions depend on the cavalry to use the most primitive method of manpower communication.

Of course, Wang Chengzhu's Second Independent Regiment is a special case.

Therefore, until now, more than two hours have passed, the Eighth Route Army headquarters does not know what the front line is like, the 129th Division Headquarters does not know, and the 386th Brigade Headquarters does not know either.

The only thing they know is that the Second Independent Regiment has easily captured 6 third-level strongholds of the Japanese army.

It was 1:1 in the morning, only an hour had passed.

The brigade heads who were informed of the situation were all stunned. You must know that among the six third-level strongholds that the Second Independent Regiment said would be removed, two of them were relatively large. And there are solid bunker fortifications.

For such a stronghold, other Eighth Route Army troops would be difficult to eradicate even if they dispatched a battalion, let alone a battalion.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Second Independent Regiment was stronger than other regiments. The brigade heads were not worried that the Second Independent Regiment would not be able to complete the mission, but they never expected that they would conquer these strongholds within an hour.

In their view, it is already very good that the Second Independent Regiment can capture it within 3 hours.

After the shock, the brigade heads were more pleasantly surprised.

Only the brigade commander's face remained calm, without any expression fluctuations, as if all of this was under his control.

At this time, the chief of staff suddenly thought of something, he put away the smile on his face, and said: "Hey! No! It is true that the Second Independent Regiment has a radio station and can communicate with the brigade headquarters, but they did not act at the same time, but 6 The infantry battalion was dispersed into 6 parts to act separately."

"It is obviously impossible for the battalions of the Second Independent Regiment to communicate with the regiment headquarters in real time, so it will take some time for the battalions to report the situation to the regiment headquarters.

It was 1 o'clock in the morning when the Second Independent Regiment reported the situation to the brigade headquarters, but this is definitely not the time for them to capture the enemy's stronghold to complete the task! "

When the chief of staff said this, the rest of the brigade heads also responded, and what was replaced was even more shocking, shocking, and unbelievable.

One of the deputy chiefs of staff pointed to the map and said: "The Second Independent Regiment was divided into six parts to act separately. Even if Wang Chengzhu set up the temporary headquarters of the regiment in the middle, it would take at least 6 minutes or even more time from the flank stronghold to the middle regiment headquarters." .

Does this mean that the battalions of the Second Independent Regiment took only 20 minutes or even less from the beginning to the end of the battle? "

As soon as these words came out, except for the brigade commander who was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, the rest of the brigade was shocked, their mouths opened wide, and they could almost stuff an ostrich egg in.

After a pause, the deputy chief of staff continued: "Could it be that Wang Chengzhu was so happy that he deliberately lied about the military situation and reported the results of the battle in advance?"

The rest of the people nodded heavily in agreement, and then looked at the brigade commander together.

They believe that with the strength of the Second Independent Regiment, there is absolutely no problem in taking these strongholds, but it is absolutely impossible to end the battle so quickly, let alone end the battle within 20 minutes.

The expression on the Brigadier's face remained unchanged. He picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip, then glanced at the crowd, and asked, "Has Wang Chengzhu ever lied about the military situation?"

The crowd shook their heads.

In the past, when the Second Independent Regiment was an independent battalion, it fought many incredible battles, but it never lied about its military situation.

The brigade commander said: "That's it, before there is no conclusive evidence, don't doubt your comrades at any time! Understand?"

Deputy Chief of Staff: "Brigade Commander, we are not suspicious of our comrades, but the report of the Second Independent Regiment is too unbelievable.

It is obviously unreasonable to take down a stronghold guarded by 20 enemies in 200 minutes. "

Brigadier: "Deputy Chief of Staff Wang, you don't have to use force to fight a war, you can also use outsmart tactics.

Although Wang Chengzhu has never played cards according to common sense, and even often used the weak to the strong, it does not mean that he does not use his brain when fighting.

He was able to achieve impressive results again and again, not relying on powerful weapons and equipment, but relying on his brain. "

No one doubted what the brigade commander said.

At present, the weapons and equipment of the Second Independent Regiment are indeed the most powerful in the entire 386th Brigade, and even the most powerful in the entire 129th Division and even the entire Eighth Route Army.

However, the weapons and equipment of the Second Independent Regiment were not inherently powerful, but became stronger little by little in battle after battle by capturing them.

At the beginning, Wang Chengzhu even had only one platoon of troops, and it was a crippled platoon with only a dozen people in total.

The strength of the Second Independent Regiment was entirely created by Wang Chengzhu himself, and he even blessed the entire 386th Brigade and even the entire 129th Division.

For example, the establishment of Kong Jie's new second regiment was almost entirely due to Wang Chengzhu's credit.

When the chiefs of the Eighth Route Army talked about Wang Chengzhu, which one did not give a thumbs up.

Therefore, the brigade commander was also very merciful to Wang Chengzhu.

Allowing him to kill first and then play later, all the spoils he seized will not be robbed away.

Because the brigade commander knows that Wang Chengzhu can grasp these weapons and equipment, and is also capable of using them to achieve greater results and gain more benefits.

Moreover, the brigade commander also wanted to build an ace force, and the Second Independent Regiment was undoubtedly the most suitable.

A qualified commander must not only have excellent strategic vision and tactical guidance ability, but also be able to employ people.

Even sometimes, being able to employ people is more important than having excellent strategic vision and tactical guidance.

For example, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty in history, was able to defeat the powerful overlord of Chu and establish the Han Dynasty not by his own strategic vision and tactical guidance ability, but by employing people!

The Brigadier is undoubtedly the best at employing people.

Almost all the heads of the 386 brigade are not bad.

The same is true for Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji, the same is true for Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie, not to mention Wang Chengzhu...

"Outsmart?"

Deputy Chief of Staff Wang suddenly thought of something and said: "Brigade Commander, when Wang Chengzhu was describing his battle plan, he mentioned that he wanted to instigate Sun Yuliang, the brigade commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

The puppet troops stationed in strongholds such as Daliang and Yangjiazhuang all belong to the 4th Mixed Brigade.

Could it be that these puppet troops have been instigated to rebel, and then they cooperated with the outside to break through these strongholds of the devils from the inside? "

"If that's the case, it's not difficult to take these strongholds in 20 minutes, or even less than 20 minutes."
