Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 339 Borrowing Soldiers (Third Update!)
Whether the reinforcement battalion can successfully take down this coal mine called Bald Ridge plays a vital role in whether Wang Ping can successfully build an arsenal.

Therefore, after determining the target, Wang Ping took Yang Xiong and a few scouts to Bald Ridge for investigation.

"Factory manager, according to our investigation and the information provided by the military area, there are a total of 135 Japanese and puppet troops defending the coal mine and the mine guard team, half of them are the Imperial Association Army, responsible for guarding and supervising more than 2000 absenteeism in the coal mine. The Japanese army only has one combat unit, and the remaining mine guard team composed of all ronin and veterans, the number is about one team!"

"Although there are not many Japanese and puppet soldiers, they are very well equipped, especially the mine protection team, which is equipped with two heavy machine guns, all of which are placed behind the two bunkers at the entrance of the coal mine. As long as the two heavy machine guns are fired, the mine gate will be directly It will be blocked, not a single fly can fly in!"

"The Royal Association Army and the Japanese Army mostly use rifles, the Japanese combat unit is equipped with a Type [-] light machine gun, and the Imperial Association Army is equipped with a Czech made one.

"It's the Royal Association Army who guards and supervises absenteeism during the day, and the mine guard team formed by the devils patrols at night. As for the little devils, they usually do one thing, eat, drink and have fun in the mine, and then stop the mine guard team and the Royal Association from time to time. The army went to the surrounding villages to raid, make some extra money, eat, drink and have fun!"

"Leave the mine and go outside to raid? Is this news true!" Wang Ping saw the crux of the problem at a glance, staring at Yang Xiong and asked back.

"Sure! Protect the mine, although the owner of the mine will give them some benefits from time to time. But staying in the mine without fighting every day will definitely get annoying after a long time
According to the intelligence, the devils will organize troops to raid a village every ten days to reap benefits, rob things, and improve their lives! "

"No accident, the day after tomorrow the devils will organize troops to go out to sweep. According to the order of the devils, they should go to Zhangling Village, north of the coal mine, the day after tomorrow."

"No?" Wang Ping analyzed, frowning.

"There are more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops. Excluding those left behind, there are seventy or eighty Japanese and puppet troops who go out to sweep. With this strength, the military region only needs to dispatch a battalion to kill them, but why leave them alone and let them sweep the surrounding villages , killing common people, doing whatever they want!"

"The military region wants to take care of them, and wants to eat them all at once, but the military region simply doesn't have the ability, and there are too many things involved."

"There is one of our main regiments active around, but because this main regiment is in the hinterland of the base, its equipment is incomparable with ours. Not to mention heavy machine guns, there is only one light machine gun, and it is our independent regiment that does not need to be eliminated. crooked handle."

"Although there are not many people on the devil's side, they are well equipped. There are six light machine guns and two heavy machine guns. The firepower is very strong. Even if we pull all the regiment over there, it is impossible to wipe them out in a short time. The Japanese and puppet troops who came out to sweep away."

The battlefield is also close to the county town where the Japanese troops are heavily stationed. If the battle cannot be resolved quickly and the reinforcements arrive after being dragged by the mopping-up troops of the devils, and faced with hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops attacking back and forth, this main regiment will definitely suffer a devastating blow. !
"So, every time the Japanese and puppet troops came out to raid, our people just used guerrilla warfare to sneak up on them, and didn't engage in a decisive battle as soon as they went up."

An infantry company of the Independence Regiment dared to fight an infantry squad of the Japanese army. That was because the Independence Regiment was well equipped, which was an exception.

Putting it in the other main forces of the Eighth Route Army, no battalion would dare to fight resolutely with the devils and an infantry squad, not to mention that every time the Japanese army came out, it was a reinforced infantry squad, not only with two more light machine guns, but also sometimes with one Very heavy machine gun.

With such firepower and combat effectiveness, a main regiment newly expanded by the military region is indeed unable to resolve the battle in a short time.

But the reinforced battalion in his hands is different, and the firepower is completely configured according to the firepower of the independent regiment.Although it has the strength of only one battalion, it has the firepower of a regiment of other troops of the Eighth Route Army.

But even so, the Japanese reinforcements from the county are still a big problem.

More than 100 Japanese and puppet troops, no, even if they only deal with the [-] or [-] Japanese and puppet troops who paid for the sweep, it is impossible to kill them without firing guns with the current strength of the reinforced battalion.

And as long as the gun is fired on the battlefield, the devils in the city will know and send troops to reinforce the coal mine, and then their attempts to win the coal mine will fall short.

Yang Xiong is very smart, he can see Wang Ping's worry at a glance.

"Factory Manager, are you worried about the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops leaving the city!"

"That's right!" Wang Ping didn't hide anything.

"From ambushing the Japanese and puppet troops to mopping up the troops to taking the coal mines, plus the transfer, even if we have strong firepower, it will take at least three hours. That is to say, we have to delay the Japanese troops out of the city for at least three hours!"

"It's impossible!" Yang Xiong directly retorted with an impossible expression.

"Mines!" Wang Ping answered in a startling way.

Yang Xiong's frown, which was still tightly locked just now, relaxed, and he answered with a look in front of his eyes: "It is really possible to use landmines, it is best to use the ceramic mines we used in Laiyuan, the devil's mine detectors can't detect them, so we can only move forward by groping! At that time, it will not be a problem to drag them for half a day for a five-kilometer road!"

To Yang Xiong's surprise, Wang Ping shook his head at this moment.

"Landmines alone are not enough!"

"One of the important reasons why we were able to use landmines to deter the devils in Laiyuan was that the devils could not leave the road to march in order not to be separated from the artillery. However, the devils who reinforced the Guangtouling coal mine were different. They brought heavy machine guns at most And mortars, you can still march off the road!"

"Then let's do this!" Yang Xiong asked anxiously, staring at Wang Ping.

"Please help!" Wang Ping replied confidently.

"Isn't there a regiment here? Ask them to borrow a battalion. If you don't have one, you can also use a company. As long as you are willing to come, after the battle, I will replenish them with as much ammunition and weapons as they have used. The other company will give them two more." A machine gun, twenty rifles for the reward!"

"Guerrillas are also fine. The platoon-level guerrillas are here to help. After the battle, give them five rifles as a reward."

"We also want local troops, five rifles for one platoon and fifteen rifles for one company."

"In addition, when you borrow troops, you can assure them that I will never fight the devils if I ask them to help, and the casualties will definitely not be too great!"

As a cadre, especially a cadre of the Eighth Route Army, Yang Xiong is very aware of the importance of weapons to them.

Because the troops lacked guns and ammunition, in many cases, some troops even sacrificed the lives of several soldiers for a machine gun or a rifle.

Now, the arsenal sent so many weapons and ammunition at one time, not to mention controlling the casualties for them, even if the casualties were a little bigger, they would rush over to help.

Without further ado, he replied directly to Wang Ping: "Factory Manager, there is still one day of preparation time tomorrow. I will set off now and contact all the troops that can be contacted nearby!"

"Be careful to keep it secret!" Wang Ping nodded in agreement.
