Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Wang Chengzhu: "Chief of Staff, how many troops is expected to be dispatched by the Japanese army?"

Chief of Staff: "The Japanese army is expected to dispatch 5 to 6 people, probably around 8 brigades."

Wang Chengzhu: "The Japanese army dispatched 8 brigades. If there is no accident, they will leave at least 4 brigades for the blockade of the periphery, and the remaining 4 brigades will be used to carry out sweeping raids on our base areas. .”

"Since it is a blockade and sweep, it is impossible for the Japanese army to gather together. Therefore, we can at most face one brigade of devils at the same time."

"Besides, if there is no accident, the devils in this brigade will not gather together. Most of them will be in the brigade, or at most the unit."

"In this way, we only need to wipe out this brigade of devils before other Japanese troops arrive.

With the strength of our 129th Division, if we concentrate our forces, it is not difficult to wipe out a Japanese brigade in a short time. "

"Even, we can use these devils as bait to encircle and rescue them."

Regarding Wang Chengzhu's analysis, all the leaders still agree with it.

In the past, the Japanese army would even launch a dragnet search with squadrons or even small teams.

And because the troops of the Eighth Route Army were too scattered, even facing the Japanese army at the squadron level, there was no chance of winning.

The chief of staff thought for a moment and said, "Zhuzi, this is only the most ideal state, but if we can't defeat the devils we encounter in a short time, once the devils' reinforcements arrive, the situation will be unpredictable."

Wang Chengzhu: "As long as the Japanese army does not invest more than 6 troops, there will be no accidents in this battle plan."

With that said, Wang Chengzhu stood up and came to the sand table, and said, "Chief of Staff, we can use the sand table to deduce it first."

Literally, no one can convince anyone. The chief of staff is a conservative. He always feels that it is too risky to put all eggs in one basket.

But judging from what the teacher meant, he didn't open his mouth all the time. Obviously, he didn't object to Li Yunlong and Wang Chengzhu's proposal. If he wanted to convince the other party, he could only see the truth on the sand table, and he also got up and walked to the edge of the sand table.

Immediately, the chief of staff commanded the Japanese army, and Wang Chengzhu commanded the 129th division, and the two confronted each other on the sand table.

At the beginning, the chief of staff was full of confidence, because the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and weaponry.

But as the deduction continued, the chief of staff's face gradually became serious, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Because even if the main force of the 129th Division faces a division of the Japanese army, it can easily penetrate the opponent's blockade.

In fact, it was impossible for the Japanese army to gather a division together.

Seeing that the chief of staff was gradually losing ground, other combat staff officers also joined in one after another.

But even if all the staff of the 129th Division were involved, they were still not Wang Chengzhu's opponent.

This is still a perspective, after learning that the 129th Division has not divided its troops.

In the real battle situation, the Japanese army did not know the situation of the 129th Division, and it was impossible to have such sufficient preparations.

Looking at the results on the sand table, the chief of staff and all the combat staff members had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Because they conducted five consecutive wargames, the results were all the same. Even if the Japanese army mopped up more than 5 troops, the 6th Division of the Eighth Route Army could easily penetrate the Japanese blockade.

The chief of staff pondered for a moment, and said, "In this case, our previous anti-sweeping plan will have to be overthrown and restarted."

"Turn down and start over again!" The teacher finally said: "It's better not to break the whole into parts, because the price of breaking the whole into parts is too great!"

Everyone fell into silence.

Indeed, the cost of reducing the whole to zero is too great.

First of all, breaking it into pieces means that each breakout force has little combat effectiveness. When encountering devils blocking troops, they will basically die by a narrow margin.

In this way, the 129th Division will inevitably suffer a large number of casualties.

In addition, there are still a large number of non-combatants in the base area, as well as a large amount of materials that have just been seized recently.

Once they are broken into parts, these non-combatants will suffer heavy casualties, and it will be difficult to take away supplies.

Such a price is too great, too heavy.

There was no choice in the past, but now that they have the opportunity to choose, the Eighth Route Army is naturally unwilling to follow the old path.

The brigade commander looked at Wang Chengzhu again, and asked, "Zhuzi, is there any allowance for the parameter setting of the wargame deduction?"

"Stay." Wang Chengzhu said sternly: "The fault tolerance rate is one brigade, that is to say, as long as the Japanese army's participating troops do not have one brigade's strength, the result will not change much."

In fact, Wang Chengzhu still said that he was relatively conservative, and the real fault tolerance was at least two brigades.

It is worth mentioning that a Japanese division usually has two brigades, but there are also ad hoc divisions without brigades.

But it does not mean that two brigades are a division.

Because in addition to the infantry regiment, the division also has a cavalry regiment, an engineering regiment, an artillery regiment, a logistics regiment, and an armored vehicle regiment.

The brigade basically has only two infantry regiments.

In other words, the two brigades actually only have half a division, that is, the infantry of the division.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Japanese army to gather three brigades together, not even one brigade.

Generally, there is one majority, and at most one alliance.

And because of the existence of the Spike Special Forces, the Eighth Route Army can encounter the devil's weak point in advance and kill it with one blow.

Therefore, even if the devils gathered the three brigades together to sweep and encircle the Taihang base area, Wang Chengzhu also surrounded and led the Spike Special Forces to find out the weak points, and guided the Second Independent Regiment, and even the entire 129th Division to break through. The opponent's blockade.

The commander of the 385th brigade asked again: "Zhuzi, have you considered the devil's aviation?"

Wang Chengzhu: "There is no need to consider the devil's aviation, because we will not exchange fire with the devil during the day."

"If you break out at night, you can indeed ignore the devil's aviation." The commander of the 385th brigade nodded, and said: "But, if we break out at night, wouldn't the artillery regiment that our 129th Division just formed become a display?"

"In this way, we lose our local firepower advantage, can we still break through the devil's blockade in a short time?"

Wang Chengzhu: "The Spike Special Forces of our second independent regiment will be responsible for the coordinate guidance. As long as the artillery regiment is temporarily handed over to my command, I can guarantee that the firepower of the Baotuan will not be weaker than that of the daytime."

"Besides, the devil probably didn't expect our artillery to be so accurate at night, which is actually an advantage for us."

The brigade commander of the 385th brigade had never seen a night artillery, so he asked again: "How to guide at night? You know, even if it is the devil's artillery, their accuracy will be greatly reduced at night."
