Chapter 410: Ashes
"Political Commissar, don't worry, I, Wang Ping, will definitely not do anything I have not grasped." Wang Ping was still as confident as ever, without any worries.
"Don't look at the combined Japanese and puppet troops in the two sweeping troops, which had more than 6,000 Japanese and puppet troops. However, the only one we really need to destroy is only 3,000. As for the rest, I have other ways to deal with them!"
"It will be no problem to eat three thousand Japanese and puppet troops in one night, with the existing strength of our independent regiment!"
Cheng Xiao's face looked much better: "The three thousand Japanese puppet troops sounded like a lot, but the real Japanese only had a thousand people. As long as there was enough time, there would be no problem to eat them!"
"Since that's the case, there's no problem!" Wang Ping answered confidently.
Although the political commissar no longer struggled with this issue, he could not let go of the Japanese and puppet troops along the way, and then asked: "What about the other Japanese and puppet troops along the way!"
"They have more than 3,000 people, well-equipped, and a large squad of field artillery. With such a powerful opponent, don't tell me that they will destroy their entire army by themselves!"
"Of course they will not be destroyed in their entire army, but I have a way to destroy them!" Wang Ping still looked unprecedentedly confident.
"Hongqiao is a big village, with a large enough place. There is no problem with more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops entering. Our sneak attacks ended in failure for three consecutive nights. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Hongqiao will definitely enter the village except for the patrol troops and guard posts! As long as they move in, I will be sure to kill them. However, the price will be a bit high!"
Seeing Wang Ping so confident, political commissar Cheng Xiao also let go. While staring at the map and thinking, staring at Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, how can you kill them? If more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops really kill them, it doesn't matter if they can kill them at all!"
"It's very simple!" Wang Ping sneered, and drew a fork at the location of Hongqiao Village with his pen, and then said with a sneer.
"I plan to wipe Hongqiao Village and the more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Hongqiao Village directly from the earth and let them be wiped out!"
Cheng Xiao seemed to understand and suddenly realized it and analyzed: "Captain, do you plan to use artillery? The entire regiment has more than 40 artillery pieces, and we have sufficient ammunition, so we gathered together to bombard Hongqiao Village. It is really possible to razed Hongqiao Village to the ground!"
But soon the surprise on Cheng Xiao's face was replaced by solemnity.
"No, let alone the Japanese have artillery forces that are stronger than us. Even if their artillery troops were killed by us from the beginning, the remaining infantry were legs. How could they not run away and be killed in the village and be bombed! Commander, this method doesn't work!"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "You can't use artillery. Our artillery is not the opponent of the Japanese. Using artillery to bomb Hongqiao Village is to give military achievements to the Japanese artillery!"
"Then how did you razed Hongqiao Village and more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops to the ground?" Cheng Xiao stared at Wang Ping again and asked.
Wang Ping did not answer, but showed a very mysterious smile.
Then he ordered the guard at the door of the war room: "Notify Director Jiang of the Logistics Department and Company Commander Xu of the Engineer Company to come to the war room immediately, the faster the better!"
The entire independent regiment was in a state of combat readiness, and Xu Ke and Jiang Hongchun were no exception. In less than half an hour, the two appeared in front of Wang Ping one after another.
Wang Ping was not polite, and pointed to Hongqiao Village and asked, "Company Commander Xu, this is a large village with a scale of 500 people. There is a large threshing farm in the middle of the village. The entire village is all 500 meters long and about 200 meters wide. You are an engineer and you should be very good at blasting. I want to know how much explosives are needed to razor such a village to the ground and erase it from the earth!"
"At least 10,000 kilograms of explosives. As long as the regiment commander, you give me 10,000 kilograms of explosives, I can razed Hongqiao Village to the ground. Then I can't even see the shadow of the village!" Wang Ping replied after thinking about it.
"Too many!" Although Wang Ping didn't know the specific assets of the Independent Group, the minimum common sense was still very clear. Not to mention the Independent Group, even if the yellow explosives in the entire military region were collected, it might not be ten thousand kilograms!
Xu Ke did not come back immediately, but frowned and thought, calculate, and analyze.
Wang Ping was not in a hurry and looked at Xu Ke quietly.
After five minutes, Xu Ke lifted his lowered head and replied firmly: "Captain, if the blow-up is not worth it, you can save 2,000 kilograms of explosives. The minimum 8,000 kilograms of explosives cannot be reduced. Moreover, the explosives I mentioned are all the strong explosives seized from the Japanese, not black gunpowder. If black gunpowder is used, the amount of gunpowder I want must be increased by at least five times, and it is not guaranteed to complete the task."
After all, Xu Ke is a professional engineer. Although the amount of 8,000 jin is still an astronomical figure for him. But Cheng Xiao chose to believe it, and then frowned and asked Jiang Hongchun beside him: "Director Jiang, how much explosive can you collect for Company Commander Xu!"
"Before building mines, we could raise 5,000 kilograms, but now we can only raise 3,000 at most. This is because we seized a lot from the Japanese during this period, otherwise we would not be able to raise 1,000 kilograms!"
Cheng Xiao had already understood what Wang Ping said at this time.
It has to be admitted that burying gunpowder underground in Hongqiao Village and suddenly detonating gunpowder after the Japanese entered is the best way to razor Hongqiao Village to the ground.
More importantly, in doing so, the independent group will basically not suffer casualties except for consuming a large amount of gunpowder.
However, gunpowder is not blown by the wind, especially powerful and powerful explosives. Because the Eighth Route Army has no production capacity, it becomes more important in the various units of the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, some people may say that they can be seized from the Japanese.
The Japanese did have sufficient ammunition, but they were all ammunition, not explosives.
For well-equipped Japanese troops, when they encounter problems, they use artillery and aircraft to solve them. They rarely use explosives to bomb the artillery tower like the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, the Japanese field troops rarely fight with explosives. Unless the Eighth Route Army attacks the county town and captures the Japanese arsenal, it is difficult to seize explosives.
The reason why the Independent Regiment seized so much explosives was because the Independent Regiment was lucky. The Japanese army was replenishing supplies to the Laiyuan City Arsenal, and then the Independent Regiment took advantage.
So, seeing Wang Ping's brow frown into a big Sichuan character because of worrying about explosives, political commissar Cheng Xiao's brow also frowned.
Five minutes later, and no one in the war room wanted to speak.
Cheng Xiao could only stand up and persuade: "Captain, if it really doesn't work, we will change the combat plan to see if it is possible to eat the sweeping troops along the way!"
"Your method just now gives me a start. We buried all the explosives that can be collected by the logistics department in Huangtuling Village. So many explosives exploded together, even if the Huangtuling cannot be flattened, it can also cause severe damage to the Japanese in the village!"
"Then the whole group took the opportunity to attack. Within two hours, they could eat them. If they could not be eaten, they would retreat on their own initiative. What do you think!"
