base of war

Although there was a regiment in the invading army, which already surpassed him in terms of strength, Su Yuan was sure of victory. This victory was not only about repelling the invading national army, but Su Yuan also had to obtain the opponent's soldiers and weapons.

In Su Yuan's view, this is the fastest way to restore the combat capability of the troops. If recruiting new soldiers, they must have at least three months of training, and even then the combat quality of the soldiers will not be very high.It is different for the soldiers who capture the other party. They can go into battle after a little adjustment, and there are still weapons left.

For this combat purpose, Su Yuan deliberately let Li Qian and Zhang Hao see that he had captured Cheng Kai and his company to occupy the village, and then sent Chen Xing to the National Army brigade to report false news. This was his strategy to lure the enemy .

Sure enough, Li Tianmin was fooled. Su Yuan left only a small number of Eighth Route Army in the village, and at the same time ordered them to evacuate immediately after a little resistance, so as to attract their opponents to the ambush site.

This kind of combat must be cautious, and casualties should be avoided as much as possible, so Su Yuan did not plan to fight positional warfare, but directly used offensive interspersed and detours, and this was not enough.

Su Yuan had been in the Eighth Route Army and had fought many battles with devils. He knew the combat characteristics of each army well, and he was also a sharpshooter, and he understood the role of a sharpshooter in combat. A difference was found in relation to the combat characteristics of the troops and the role of the sharpshooter.

As a sharpshooter, the main target in combat is the enemy's important target, including the opponent's commander and machine gunner. Su Yuan attaches great importance to this, so when fighting devils, the first thing to do is to command the snipers under his command Destroy the opposing commander.

This is relatively easy to distinguish in battle. The commanders of devils have different clothes and colors from soldiers, and most of them have commander knives and pistols in their hands. Once the opponent's commander is eliminated, the morale of the devil will inevitably be low, and troops that lose their command are easier to defeat. .This feature also exists in the national army. Su Yuan discovered it in the Zaoyi battle. The devil's snipers only targeted the officers of the national army, but this was not obvious in the Eighth Route Army.Although there are some differences in the uniforms of the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, it is not easy to distinguish, and Su Yuan also saw the high combat capability of the Eighth Route Army, which should be a characteristic.

Therefore, in this battle, Su Yuan took advantage of this feature. His own force was smaller than the opponent's, and he had to adopt unusual tactics to catch the opponent by surprise with swift movements.

When the leading troops of the invading national army entered the ambush circle, Su Yuan immediately ordered the battalions to attack immediately, and Zhang Hao's troops intercepted the follow-up troops, while the two battalions of Meng Tian and Li Zhuang quickly inserted into the troops in the ambush circle.

The costumes of both sides are the same, once they are mixed together, the opponents will not be able to launch a counterattack, which also avoids casualties, and the soldiers of Su Yuan's troops naturally have different marks on them. As the troops get mixed together, the soldiers follow Su Yuan's order while shouting not to fight back. Misunderstanding, putting down weapons, etc. disrupt the opponent's shouting, while starting to capture the opponent's commander.

The ambush battle achieved its goal with almost no casualties, and Zhang Hao's troops also successfully blocked the troops behind. With the victory of the ambush, the soldiers immediately stayed behind to guard the prisoners according to the previous deployment, and the other troops quickly Launch a siege from both wings to the opponent behind.

In the wilderness, there was no way to block it. Wang Lin saw that something was going wrong, and one of his battalions was finished. If he didn't retreat, he might not be able to escape. Judging from the dust raised from the two wings, there were at least a thousand people on the opponent's side, and their firepower was considerable. They are fierce, and their soldiers are even more powerful. They are definitely not their opponents, and their opponents are all dressed up as the national army. How to resist him has no idea for a while, and this battle is meaningless. It is better to retreat.

As the order was issued, the soldiers under him began to retreat, but many people were still stopped by the small river. When Wang Lin retreated to cross the river to count, he actually lost nearly half of his troops this time. Annoyed, he had to Go back and report to Li Tianmin.

Su Yuan saw the most satisfactory result of the battle, and the next step was to let these prisoners belong to his own subordinates. This was not a small problem. After all, there were too many prisoners, which were almost close to his own strength, so how to arrange them had to be carefully considered.

Su Yuan originally wanted to disperse all the captives into three battalions, and then bring the troops to the base area, all of which belong to the national army. After Su Yuan's lecture, those soldiers obeyed obediently.As for those officers, Su Yuan was going to gather them up and take care of them temporarily.

But at this time, an unexpected situation made Su Yuan's plan a lot easier, and his subordinates came to report that the captured battalion commander wanted to see him.

The battalion commander was quickly brought in front of Su Yuan, "Do you want to see me?" Su Yuan looked at this man in good spirits, without the slightest embarrassment and frustration of being captured, on the contrary, his eyes revealed joy .

"Are you Chief Su?" The visitor asked.

"I'm Su Yuan." Su Yuan replied.

"Report, Yuan Zhen, battalion commander of the Lunan Garrison Brigade, is willing to follow the commander to fight devils." Yuan Zhen reported respectfully.

"Oh, you really think about it." Su Yuan was a little skeptical.

"I've heard of you, you never hesitate to beat devils." Yuan Zhen replied immediately: "I admire you, and I don't want to stay here and do things that don't beat devils and cause friction."

"Really?" Su Yuan said.

At this time Li Zhuang leaned into his ear and said, "Tuan Zuo, this man even ordered his subordinates not to shoot during the battle, and told his subordinates to put down their weapons, and he was captured honestly."

"That's good." Su Yuan ordered immediately: "Battle Commander Yuan, I now appoint you as the commander of my fourth battalion, and you must gather your troops immediately."

"Yes!" Yuan Zhen was even more grateful for the other party's trust, and followed Chen Xing arranged by Su Yuan to organize the troops.

"Tuan Zuo, you trust him so much?" Li Zhuang reminded with some worry.

"You are still afraid that he will rebel." Su Yuan said: "He dare not attack us. After all, they are still the national army. As for my defense, I still have his troops sandwiched between our three battalions."

"Haha, this is a good way. When we get to the base area, he won't be able to escape even if he wants to." Li Zhuang understood.

"But we still have to trust him." Su Yuan said, "Also, as for the other captives, they will be assigned to each battalion according to the original plan."

"Yes." Li Zhuang took the order and went.

At this time, Su Yuan has been relieved of the defense here. Li Tianmin is now unable to attack again. Su Yuan asked Cheng Kai to lead his company to stay in the village by the river, while he himself led the troops to attack the invading devils. The army's flanks went straight in, ready to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to completely smash the devil's raid.
