My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 161 I want to fight Taiyuan, but the brigade commander!
At the end of the team is the battalion directly under the brigade headquarters.

The brigade commander personally commanded the battle this time, and naturally retreated with the troops.

At this time, the brigade commander was riding a horse with a whip in his waist, walking at the end of the team, not at all aware of the good ideas in his two capable men.

He was summing up the battle in his mind,

The [-]th Brigade's ambush of the devil's transport convoy went very smoothly.

It went even better than planned.

After briefly reviewing the battle, the brigade commander felt that apart from the weapons, ammunition, and three radio stations collected from Li Yunlong, there was another key to the troops' quick victory.

confidence!

The confidence to fight and fight.

In the past, there was a big difference between the strength of the army and the devils, the difference in firepower was more than [-] times, and the combat level of the soldiers was also significantly different, not to mention the logistics supplies. He is so rich that he can call the rear supply team at any time.

Therefore, we can only focus on guerrilla warfare, and almost never head-to-head with devils.

But guerrilla warfare requires that when an enemy advances, he retreats; when the enemy retreats, he advances;

Between saving oneself and fighting devils, I will try my best to choose the former.

Over time, it will inevitably lead to a habit in the hearts of the troops-some troops, facing a strong enemy, from grassroots cadres to soldiers, will subconsciously think about whether they can survive.

Once you find that the enemy is too strong, you will subconsciously have the idea of ​​retreating in your heart.

This problem occurred once when the Yamazaki Brigade happened to come to the location of the arsenal. At that time, a company commander who was guarding saw a devil brigade and ran away.

Even a small number of main groups have this problem.

This point, not only the brigade commander, but also the boss is clear, but the situation of the troops is here, and through emphasis and training, only part of it can be solved.

But recently, things have changed a bit.

First, the equipment of the troops gradually improved.

From the beginning of the Hundred Regiments War, my army began to face the devils head-on, and won a series of victories, annihilating a large number of devils, and accumulated more and more confidence.

In the later period of the Hundred Regiments War, the higher-ups began to let go further, and launched a small number of field battles. A single regiment wiped out the devil's non-full brigade many times.

Recently, in Yangcun, the Independent Regiment withstood the attack of a brigade of little devils supported by aircraft, tanks and cannons. For five days, more than 1 devils did not make a single step.

It also greatly stimulated the confidence of the soldiers.

The little devil is nothing more than that.

Confidence, once established, will undergo a qualitative change.

A year ago, a regiment, not to mention the core regiment, even if it was an old main force regiment, had to be careful when encountering a full-stacked brigade of devils. The first thing in my mind was to try not to conflict with the devils.

But now, any regiment, even a cadre regiment, would dare to grin their teeth and slash with a knife when they encountered a devil or an infantry regiment.

"Brigade Commander, the headquarters is calling to ask about our location."

At this moment, a correspondent ran over.

This was a routine inquiry from the headquarters, the brigade commander ignored it, and the chief of staff replied, but this telegram aroused the brigade commander's mind.

The fundamental reason why the troops can start to build up confidence is that their weapons and equipment have improved, which has given them a way to improve the problems that existed in the troops before and to build up confidence.

"We have to make another big move."

The Brigadier muttered.

Where does the good equipment come from?

The goods stored in the headquarters, 60 mortars, 82 mortars, Czechs, shell guns, Pelton horses, everyone has them, and the number of each regiment is similar. The brigade commander is not very rare.

The really good stuff is on Li Yunlong's side.

General-purpose machine guns, submachine guns, anti-tank guns, and radios are good things, and they can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of troops.

The brigade commander knew very well that these new equipment, especially the three radio stations, were one of the keys to his ability to quickly wipe out the devil's transport brigade of more than 1000 people this time.

Good communication enables the brigade commander to know the situation faced by each company anytime and anywhere throughout the battle. Through the radio, he can sense the battlefield situation perceived by each company in a timely manner.

If necessary, he can even directly contact the handheld walkie-talkies in the hands of each company through the several 'regimental' level communication radio stations in the brigade headquarters.

The brigade commander has an absolute control over the entire battlefield, as if the entire battlefield is operating according to his will, and can perfectly execute the tactics he formulated.

This feeling deeply fascinated the Brigadier.

And these good things need to be brought back by the troops who supported the independent regiment to guard Yangcun.

Although any boss Mo gave it casually, everyone was a decent person.

Be decent!
The brigade needs a decent, legitimate reason to bring back the old battalion that supported the independent regiment and got good equipment-mainly to bring back the equipment.

Then let the other battalions go to the independent regiment for support.

What needs the brigade headquarters to be transferred back to the main camp?

Of course it is a major combat operation!

"Brigade Commander, a telegram from the Independent Regiment."

At this time, the brigade communications company commander ran over again and handed the brigade commander a telegram.

"Independent regiment?!"

The brigade commander raised his eyebrows, and took the telegram with great interest, with an expectant expression on his face.

Beside him, the brigade chief of staff also came over.

At present, the independent regiment is around Yangcun, defending the attack of the service department brigade. The brigade headquarters and even the headquarters have been in constant contact with Yangcun, so there is no need to send them a telegram.

then.

Every time Li Yunlong has something good, he will come to the brigade department as soon as possible to brag about it.

The previous general-purpose machine guns, anti-tank guns, and radio stations all came to the brigade headquarters for the first time.

So there is a high probability that Li Yunlong got something good again.

"hiss····"

After receiving the telegram and looking at it, the brigade commander suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes gleamed, and he couldn't help but praise:

"Good stuff!"

"What good stuff?"

The brigade chief of staff was surprised by such an expression, and quickly stretched it over to read it, but the brigade commander suddenly folded the telegram and deliberately refused to show it to him.

"What good things did Li Yunlong get?"

The brigade chief of staff reached for it.

"I want to fight Taiyuan!"

The brigade commander suddenly changed the subject, and his tone was serious.

"Hit Taiyuan?!"

Glancing at the brigade commander with a serious face, the brigade chief of staff frowned, stopped his outstretched hand, and immediately said:
"Taiyuan is where the headquarters of the Devil's First Army is located, and with the shrinking of the Devil's forces, there is a devil brigade directly stationed in Taiyuan, with more than 7000 devils."

"The ambush still has three wings that can support at any time through the road, and we lack offensive capabilities."

Suddenly he paused and looked at the telegram:
"Could it be that Li Yunlong brought heavy siege weapons?"

"Even if Li Yunlong gets the siege weapons, we will hardly have a chance to take them down."

"Even if you beat it down, you can't hold it."

This time, the [-]th Brigade was able to successfully wipe out a large army of devils. Firstly, their own strength had been greatly improved, and secondly, the devils were negligent. They did not expect that the troops would set up an ambush on flat terrain.

Last but not least,
The devils are seriously short of troops.

Pinghan Line, Tongpu Line, Zhengtai Line, Jiaoji Line, Jinpu Line, Pingsui Line, Baijin Line, Longhai Line... One after another, the cumulative length of thousands of kilometers of railway lines.

Although it has been weak for many years, the vast land and huge population still retain a lot of wealth.

There are also Taiyuan, Beiping, Baoding, Shimen, Yangquan... dozens of important cities.

As well as hundreds of counties along the railway, Yangyu Highway, Jintai Highway, etc., there are thousands of roads connecting important railway towns and surrounding counties.

The devils plundered resources and wealth in North China through these railways, highways and cities, and then transported them to the devils to transform them into war forces and strengthen the devils' strength.

The main task of the Devils North China Front Army is to ensure the smooth flow of these railway lines and roads, and the control of important towns and counties.

The North China Front Army has a strength of 27 troops. They are very strong. They can all be dispatched and can fight each other in the base area. Even the current army, even if you count the independent regiment, cannot stop it.

There is a huge difference between a brigade and a front army.

Of course, the premise is that Boss Mo doesn't make a move.

But 27 devils, so many railways, highways, and cities in the vast North China, are scattered, which is really stretched.

With the opening of the Hundred Regiments War, guerrillas from all over the country, whose strength has been greatly enhanced, began to be fierce and active, which intensified the pressure on the devils' law and order. They had to strengthen the garrisons on railway lines, important highways, and important cities and counties to maintain the stability of transportation lines and key cities. .

Another point is that Li Yunlong teamed up with the Mo boss to attack the devils' officers once a month, and also forced the devils to strengthen the garrisons in important cities.

The life of the North China Front Army, which was seriously understrength, was even more difficult.

Oh, by the way, according to intelligence, the devils are still mobilizing troops to organize a sweep of the base area,

As a result, even in an open area, the surrounding reinforcements were too late to arrive, which gave the [-]th brigade the opportunity and enough time to ambush the devils' transport team on the open road.

But Taiyuan,
This is the intersection of Zhengtai Line and Tongpu Line. Through the railway line, it will take less than an hour for the Devils to arrive.

Moreover, Taiyuan itself has a strong garrison, which is a very difficult bone.

Besides, Taiyuan is a railway hub, a place that must be protected by the devils. Even if the troops try to take it down, they will be quickly gathered by the devils to take it back.

There's no point in hitting it.

"Look..."

The brigade commander did not explain, and directly handed over the telegram in his hand to the chief of staff.

"This is··"

The chief of staff with a puzzled face opened the telegram and looked at it, opened his mouth wide, and also took a breath of air:
"Weighing 21 kilograms, a new 3400 mortar with a maximum range of 60 meters!"

"400 meters range..."

"This is farther than the Type [-] infantry artillery."

The chief of staff muttered to himself.

Although the troops have been equipped with 82 mortars, in actual combat, except for the independent regiments backed by the supply base, the main force of artillery support for other troops is still 60 small steel cannons.

The 60 small artillery shells weigh about 15 kilograms and are light in weight. The troops can carry as much as possible. The charge is [-] grams, and the killing range is [-] meters. It is powerful enough to kill and suppress Japanese infantry or destroy Japanese machine gun positions.

The only problem is that the range is too short.

The 60 small steel guns currently equipped by the troops have a maximum range of only [-] kilometers, and the actual effective range is only about [-] kilometers.

In an open shooting range, the Type [-] heavy machine gun has a longer range than this.

In this ambush operation, the troops encountered such a problem. The 60 mortars at the battalion and company level were unable to suppress the devil's heavy machine guns. In the end, the 82 mortars of the regiment could only solve the problem.

Time-consuming and labor-intensive, delaying fighters.

If the troops can be equipped with a large number of 60 small steel guns with a range of [-] kilometers, then there will be a lot more tactical options, and they can even suppress the Type [-] infantry guns, and let small groups of troops carry mortars, penetrate and interpenetrate, and remotely suppress the Guizishan artillery position.

The combat effectiveness can be greatly improved, especially in mountainous terrain.

"I also think it's good to play Taiyuan..."

Putting away the telegram, the chief of staff touched his chin:
"Let's make a joint proposal to the headquarters!"

Fighting Taiyuan can be the purpose, to take down this important town hub and destroy the traffic of devils for a long time.

It can also be a process, taking advantage of the lack of devils' troops, attacking east and west, putting on a posture of besieging Taiyuan, attracting the devil's attention, and then waiting for opportunities to attack other places.

And no matter which one, you don't have to fight in the end.

The situation is changing rapidly, and it is normal for battle plans to change.

But regardless of whether to fight or not, no matter what the target is, to attack Taiyuan, you must mobilize the main force of the [-]th brigade and the main force of other troops.

Then, some of the main forces supporting the independent regiment must be mobilized back.

However, the troops do not need to be dispatched to the scale of a hundred-regiment battle, and can support the independent regiment from other troops that do not participate in combat.

This is reasonable.
