Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

In the autumn of 40, the New Fourth Army fought a battle to defend Yunling in southern Anhui, smashing the enemy's sweep. The place name Yunling has since become well-known. But few people know that there is such an ordinary place in Jin region with the same name.

It was night at this moment, and Kong Jie was taking a rest with a battalion of several hundred people. There is a rare stream here where you can replenish drinking water. The soldiers in the cooking class immediately lit a fire and began to boil water after making simple shields, using the dim night to cover up the rising smoke.

The Japanese's germ warfare and biological warfare are really disgusting. In the past, the army did not pay attention to hygiene and suffered great losses. The situation was even so serious that a regiment could not even gather dozens of people who were not sick, and its combat effectiveness was severely reduced. Faced with this situation, the headquarters can only order the entire army to carry out health campaigns and fight a microscopic war scientifically.

From warm wine to hot tea, the Chinese nation has finally allowed white water, the most common drinking water, to have a temperature. And after the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the threat of germ warfare, a patriotic hygiene campaign was carried out, and the concept of "not drinking raw water" was engraved in history and became a tradition.

A regimental staff officer trotted back from a distance with a soldier. He didn't bother to drink water and immediately found Kong Jie: "Regiment commander, the terrain over there has been figured out. There is open land to the west of the highway and Yunling to the east. As we expected, if the Japanese want to support Lucheng as quickly as possible, they must take this road! "

The original mission of the independent regiment was to cooperate with the new regiment, but due to changes in the situation, this mission was canceled. With the new regiment anchored in Yushe, Wuxiang, there was no need to worry about anything. The independent regiment was naturally assigned to the Battle of Handan.

The headquarters had calculated its timing. Part of the Japanese troops were engaged in mopping up, and near Bai Guihan's Changliang Road, the 20th Division and the 36th Division were changing defenses. Seizing this gap, the original troops from Lucheng to Wu'an, the local self-defense forces, and guerrilla groups launched an attack on the entire Handan-Changchun Highway.

It is impossible for the Japanese to withstand such a fierce offensive, and they will definitely send reinforcements to rescue this transportation line. The independent regiment is now responsible for holding back the enemies in the direction of Tunliu in the west of Lucheng. The longer the better.

Kong Jie raised his head and looked at the cooking team next to him: "According to the original plan, we will not rest tonight. We will dig an ambush position on Yunling overnight and prepare a little surprise for the little devil. In addition, send a report to the brigade headquarters and say The 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment has arrived at the predetermined location and is digging a position."

"Yes!" The staff officer immediately walked towards the radio station.

Thanks to Meng Zhige, the main regiments of the entire division now have radio stations directly connected to each brigade. Command and dispatch are much more convenient, and coordination is also easier. Especially for this kind of large-scale battle, orders can be quickly issued to each regiment, and the combat effectiveness has been essentially doubled.

"Platoon leader! You and the soldiers go ahead to cut off the road and lay mines. Our task is to buy time, and minefields are indispensable. After laying mines on the road, we will lay out minefields in the direction of Yunling. The enemy will be angry and can still occupy it. A wave of cheapness..."

"Yes!"

The platoon leader summoned the soldiers to line up, and each went to the cooking squad to get a pot of hot water. Then he organized his equipment, took large bags of mines, and headed to the predetermined location. Then the remaining platoons lined up to replenish drinking water, and then headed towards Yunling.

……

"Baga! The sky is getting darker, so the march is so much slower? Are you still an outstanding warrior of the empire? Don't be lazy, speed up and move forward!"

Countless Japanese soldiers were advancing along the highway. If it were daytime, such an endless team would alert the Eighth Route Army from a long distance away. But unfortunately, the distance that sound travels at night is much shorter than the distance of sight during the day.

"Captain, if we march like this, the artillery squadron will be left behind, and there will definitely be soldiers left behind." A Japanese lieutenant colonel reminded - he was the staff officer next to the commander. "Uratomo-kun, do you think the empire's samurai really need artillery support to win against a group of peasants?" The captain laughed out loud: "If that's the case, you can afford the empire's expenditure on training the army. ?!"

"Don't make excuses, move forward at full speed! If the artillery team is slower, just slow down and let the 5th Infantry Brigade detach some people to protect the artillery team!"

Following the order of the regiment leader, the entire regiment of more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers was gradually divided into two sections. In front are the 3rd and 4th Infantry Brigades, and behind are the 5th Infantry Brigade plus two artillery squadrons. Among them, the two artillery squadrons were the most dynamic - a full 2,780 horses, dragging dismantled artillery parts and a large number of artillery shells, slowly advancing.

The distance between the two sides gradually became closer.

Although the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were focused on planting landmines with shovels, they still posted a sentry to be on guard. The movement of the Japanese brigade was much louder than that of the platoon laying mines, so under the notice of the sentry, the platoon was the first to silence and hide in the mountains on the east side.

"Platoon leader, how many Japs are there in this special girl?" A soldier asked softly in the darkness.

In addition to supplying the new regiment, Meng Zhige's food also benefited other troops. The soldiers' vision at night was much stronger than before, but it was still dark after all, so they couldn't see very far. They could only hear the faint voices of people in the darkness in the distance.

The Eighth Route Army never hides its combat objectives from soldiers, and every soldier knows exactly what he is doing. They are here to delay the enemy, so there is no reason to let the enemy pass without fighting. Moreover, the mines are half buried, and it is too late to dismantle them now. This battle will not last long, and will begin soon.

"There are a lot of them. There is almost a small team at the head." The platoon leader turned sideways and said: "You all spread out. When the Japanese come, don't rush to shoot. Keep close and then fight. Try to resolve the battle as quickly as possible. We are not a new group, so we still have to make a living by confiscating them.”

"Give me the machine gun!"

A well-maintained but badly worn crooked handle was handed to the platoon leader. Thanks to the new regiment, the number of machine gun equipment of several other regiments of the 386th Brigade has also increased slightly. The independent regiment has also been allocated three more machines, so each platoon can be gradually equipped with machine guns.

The platoon leader set up the machine gun, installed the ammunition supply funnel, and pressed six rounds of bullets into it. The ammunition hand of the machine gun team consciously leaned to the left side of the platoon leader, pried open a box of sixty-five bullets, and held several bridge clips of bullets in his hand.

"I will remember it when I clean the battlefield later. If I have a chance, I can take off some of the Japanese collar badges. Usually the Japanese will write serial numbers on the back of the collar badges. The Japanese can die in confusion, but we have to figure it out!" said the platoon leader! Come on, load the bullet.

If you want to know the other person's number, you don't need to grab your tongue at all. Just kill the person on the opposite side and then check the opponent's uniform. Under normal circumstances, if you give him all the epaulettes, collar badges, chest badges, and armbands, he will definitely gain something. For example, the Japanese's current 98-style military uniform has the serial number on the collar badge. The eight routes are not much different, the serial number is written directly on the badge.

However, Meng Zhige's camouflage is somewhat different. As the ultimate combat uniform, Meng Zhige only reserved a place for an armband on his left arm to distinguish between the enemy and our camps. The badge with the unit number and personal information written on it is nailed to the inside of the camouflage uniform during combat to ensure concealment. (End of chapter)
