Chapter 17 Battle plan!

Li Yunlong stared at the map, stroked his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly but his mind was spinning rapidly.

"Although our light and heavy firepower is much stronger now, the devils transport poison gas bombs. Our landmines and mortars cannot be used, and even hand grenades cannot be used."

"Once you detonate the gas bomb on the truck in the middle of the battle, it's all over!"

"So, this battle can only rely on the firepower of submachine guns and light machine guns!"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao: "Da Biao, you are the only one here who has fought against the Kwantung Army. Tell me, is there any difference between the Kwantung Army and other devils?"

Zhang Dabiao said: "The Kwantung Army is good at hand-to-hand combat, and individual training focuses on assassination. Their "Infantry Manual" clearly stipulates that before hand-to-hand combat, the bullets in the barrel must be ejected. It is said that what they hate most is the Chinese army. Fired in hand-to-hand combat, thinking it would be detrimental to the honor of regular troops."

After a pause, Zhang Dabiao said again: "When it comes to playing cold weapons, we Chinese are the ancestors of little devils. If you want me to be the commander, you can give this task to our first battalion. This time our first battalion uses ghost heads Da Dao teaches the Kwantung Army kid how to behave!"

"You kid can't just play dumb." Li Yunlong scolded, "You can't play tough battles like you!"

Li Yunlong said: "The Maxim heavy machine gun can't be carried either. We are going for a long-distance raid this time, and we can make a quick decision. Bringing it is not conducive to maneuvering!"

"In this battle, the first battalion will be the main force. The second battalion and the third battalion will each draw out 100 combat backbones, and supplement the first battalion to form a temporary reinforcement battalion."

In fact, according to Li Yunlong's vision, only the first battalion is enough, but he will not lose sight of the other, and the second and third battalions should also be properly taken care of.

Otherwise, if things go on like this in the long run, all the benefits will be given to the first battalion, and the second and third battalions will definitely get angry.

After leading soldiers for so many years, Li Yunlong has a lot of experience.

Li Yunlong went on to say: "Secondly, the choice of terrain is the key. We need a reinforced battalion that can quickly deploy from a hidden location, and rush up at lightning speed before the devils have time to organize firepower to counterattack."

"At this time, the devil must be rushing back the bullets. When the devil finishes firing the bullets, the soldiers in the front row will still spread out to both sides."

"Submachine guns and light machine guns go up suddenly, and the first round of firepower can kill as many devils as possible!"

"Let's go up and hang out with the devils, fight hand-to-hand with the devils, and win the battle quickly!"

"We, Xinyituan, will still hang out in this area in the future. We can't let the devils laugh at our Xinyituan's inability to fight!"

"This time, let's teach the little devil how to play cold weapons!"

"Of course, the premise of this tactic is to shorten the impact distance as much as possible, preferably within 50 meters, so that the devils can't react at all."

Li Yunlong generally does not engage in democracy, and he has the final say on military command.

A complete set of combat plans can be said to the three battalion commanders.

Chen Dagu then asked: "Commander, what if the information is inaccurate? The devils are not two escort squadrons, but a brigade. What should we do?"

Li Yunlong asked: "The ancient swordsman and the master met on a narrow road. Suppose this opponent is the best swordsman in the world. What should you do if you know you are invincible? Should you turn around and run away or beg for mercy?"

Chen Dagu replied: "Of course you can't shrink back, otherwise what kind of swordsman will you be?"

"That's right!" Li Yunlong said, "Knowing that it is death, you have to draw your sword out of its sheath. This is called shining sword. We are not a coward in the new regiment. If devils come to two squadrons, we can still shine our swords, and come to a brigade, we can still shine our swords."

Zheng Yu asked: "Captain, are the devils coming from a regiment or a brigade? Are we going to use our swords?"

Li Yunlong: "...Only you talk a lot!"

"Okay!" Li Yunlong said, "Go back and prepare, remember to keep it secret, if anyone leaks out, I will peel off his skin!"

"Yes!" The three battalion commanders straightened up, and then walked outside.

……

After the three battalion commanders left, Li Yunlong opened the cabinet and took out two Mauser 98k sniper rifles.

It looks new in condition and comes with 4x and 6x crosshair scopes.

Although Chen Feng gave these two sniper rifles to himself and Zhang Dabiao as gifts, Li Yunlong planned to distribute them to the best fighters in the regiment for use.

Although his marksmanship is not bad, he still needs to take into account commanding the battle, and good steel must be used wisely.

And the bullet used in this sniper rifle is 7.92mm caliber, which is the same caliber as that of the German-made Maxim heavy machine gun.

Even the caliber of the rifle bullets made in Hanyang and Zhongzheng is the same. Among the 20 tons of weapons and ammunition this time, 10 rounds of bullets are exactly 7.92mm rifle bullets.

This is common to Mauser 98k rifles, Hanyang-made and Zhongzheng rifles, which solves the problem of lack of ammunition for rifles.

This time, more than 1000 38-cap rifles were seized, and a lot of 6.5mm caliber bullets were also seized from the devils.

Therefore, now the new regiment is not short of guns or bullets, but short of soldiers.

It seems that it's time to recruit some troops, but if you want to recruit troops, you have to wait until the battle is over.

Li Yunlong rushed out and shouted: "Tiger!"

The guard Huang Erhu trotted in and gave Li Yunlong a military salute: "Yes!"

"Go!" Li Yunlong said, "Call Li Changshun from the first battalion and Cao Jinwang from the third battalion to the regiment headquarters!"

"Yes!" Huang Erhu straightened up and walked out.

Li Changshun from the first battalion and Cao Jinwang from the third battalion were the two soldiers with the best marksmanship in the new regiment.

They all have a record of accurately shooting and killing several devils at a position of 38 meters with 400 big covers.

Among the devils, only some veterans can achieve such a precise marksmanship.

Of course, the devil's marksmanship is generally better than that of the Eighth Route Army.

At a distance of less than 100 meters, the devil's marksmanship is almost like shooting meat with a gun.

It's not just about guns, peacetime training is also inseparable. The Eighth Route Army's ammunition is scarce, and there are few bullets for combat, let alone training marksmanship with bullets.

Not long after, Li Changshun and Cao Jinwang took the sniper rifle from Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong also specially approved 100 rounds of 7.92mm bullets for each of them, so that they could become familiar with firearms as soon as possible.

Silent all night.

At noon the next day, Chen Feng sent someone to the door to inform Li Yunlong, saying that the weapons, ammunition and cotton clothes were in place, and Li Yunlong sent someone to pick them up.

This time Chen Feng did not come forward, but let Yan Shuangying take full responsibility for the handover.

Still in the old place, Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the first battalion and the guard platoon, and moved 4 sets of cotton clothes and 3000 tons of weapons and ammunition back to Zhengjia Village's new regiment warehouse after four trips.

Immediately, Li Yunlong informed the battalions to bring the cotton clothes back to the battalion and distribute them, two sets of cotton clothes for each soldier.

A set of cotton clothes includes a cotton cap with ear protectors, a cotton jacket, cotton trousers and rubber-soled cotton shoes, which are the same color as the Eighth Route Army uniform.

Two days passed in a flash, and soon it was time to ambush the devil's Kwantung Army convoy.

It's not easy to travel in winter. Li Yunlong led the combat troops and set off early with enough dry food at noon the day before, heading towards Chenjiagou.
