Chapter 148 Wang Chengzhu's plan shocked Li Yunlong
When the Independent Battalion launched a general attack on Li Jiapo, Li Yunlong had already brought guard Hu Zi to a place only two kilometers away from Li Jiapo.
Li Yunlong was very curious as to why Wang Chengzhu was able to grow the artillery platoon to a size of more than a thousand people in just one month.
He also wanted to see Wang Chengzhu's tactical command ability. When he saw that the Independent Battalion had launched a general offensive, he immediately came to a position with a wide field of vision and observed carefully with a telescope.
Soon, Li Yunlong saw some clues and couldn't help but admired: "This Wang Chengzhu is really a good material for fighting. He can actually come up with such a unique offensive tactic."
The guard Huzi on the side asked curiously: "Captain, why do I feel that the tactics of the independent battalion are so unstructured? You see, their soldiers are so scattered that they cannot concentrate firepower at all. They rely entirely on artillery and numerical advantages.
Just rushed to the top of the mountain."
Li Yunlong: "That's because you are stupid and can't see the clues! When the independent battalion attacked, although the formation was a bit loose, it was very organized."
"You see, the distance between each of their warriors is basically the same. Even if they move forward, it is maintained this way, and the same is true between each combat group.
This shows that the formation of the independent battalion is not loose, but deliberate."
"The advantage of this is that it can greatly reduce casualties when encountering heavy firepower such as enemy machine guns and artillery during the attack."
"In the past, when our Eighth Route Army launched an attack, the soldiers basically gathered together as hedgehogs and rushed forward in a swarm. The enemy's machine guns swept away a large area, and the enemy's artillery exploded in a large area."
"Now, the independent battalion can greatly reduce casualties by setting up such an offensive formation. Moreover, their cooperation is also very tacit. When a combat group encounters fire suppression, the combat group next to it will immediately provide fire support to the enemy.
The Japs carried out counter-suppression."
Li Yunlong has rich combat experience, so he can easily see the extraordinary features of the three-three system.
Huzi was still a little surprised: "Captain, are you really as good as you say? It is clearly the independent battalion that has the advantage in terms of firepower and troops, so it can tear open the Japanese defense line and rush to the Japanese position."
Li Yunlong: "You know nothing! Where did the weapons and equipment of the independent camp come from? Did they pull them out of the latrine? How could Wang Chengzhu get so much good equipment if he had no means?"
"Eh! By the way, talking about this, I remembered something. Didn't Wang Chengzhu say that the Independent Battalion is almost out of control? Why is there a war now? Each of these guys is more energetic than the other?"
"Damn it! I've been hunting geese all day long, and yet I got pecked in the eye! Last time in Wangjiacun, I was fooled by this guy Wang Chengzhu!"
"Let's go, let's go! Find Wang Chengzhu!"
…
As the main force of the independent battalion rushed towards Lijiapo, there was no longer any suspense in this battle. In the end, even the first company and the cavalry company had their fill of the fun.
Of course, when they rushed up, they could only collect the corpses for the Japanese soldiers from the Yamazaki Brigade.
Li Yunlong also arrived at the independent battalion's attack position under the leadership of the independent battalion scouts.
After hearing the news, Wang Chengzhu immediately went up to him: "Hey! Captain, what kind of wind has brought you here?"
Li Yunlong's face darkened and he scolded: "I wonder who in the northwest of Shanxi is so brave. It's you, Wang Chengzhu, who is responsible for this emotional turmoil!"
Wang Chengzhu was stunned: "Captain, what do you mean by this?"
Li Yunlong: "Do you know why we came here? It's because the boss called the headquarters of our new regiment!"
"You were so fucking happy, you broke the whole world, but in the end you asked me to wipe your ass!"
"If it weren't for the boss, I wouldn't have known you were so capable. You actually attracted the Japanese from Luliang, Jiaxian, and Fangshan counties. Aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire?"
Of course, this was Li Yunlong trying to pull the flag, because it was the boss who found the brigade commander, and the brigade commander found him.
Wang Chengzhu said with a sneer: "Although this noise is a bit loud, isn't it to help you complete your mission and develop the new group?
Besides, didn’t the boss promise us that we don’t need to report on all combat actions in the past three months? Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare to act without authorization.”
Li Yunlong was almost angry: "Is this a big movement? Do the Japanese from Taiyuan also need to move out for it to be a big movement?
Yes, the boss promised that our new regiment does not need to report on its combat operations here and within three months, but that refers to ordinary small-scale operations.
You are almost breaking the law, how can you expect the boss to show mercy?
We don’t care, you are the one who caused this anyway, if the boss blames it, I will push you out!”
Wang Chengzhu: "Captain, originally I was thinking of handing over the newly captured Japanese equipment of this brigade to part of the regiment, but since you said so, I might as well hand over all the equipment to the boss!"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong was almost stunned: "What are you talking about, a brigade of Japanese equipment?"
Soon, Li Yunlong seemed to have thought of something, and then continued: "You mean, your independent battalion just eliminated a group of Japanese?"
Wang Chengzhu: "Not bad!"
"hiss!--"
After receiving Wang Chengzhu's affirmative reply, Li Yunlong suddenly took a breath of cold air. He knew very well how powerful the Japanese were in combat.
At least the new regiment before Cangyunling had almost no chance of defeating a Japanese army in a head-on confrontation, let alone annihilation.
Back in Cangyun Ridge, I just happened to discover the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment and blew it up, so I was able to break out of the encirclement.
But even so, in the battle at Cangyunling, the casualties of the New Regiment were much greater than those of the Sakata Regiment.
Now that the Independent Battalion has wiped out a Japanese brigade so easily, how strong is the combat effectiveness of the Independent Battalion?
At first, when Li Yunlong observed from a distance, he only thought that the independent battalion surrounded a small Japanese force, at most a reinforced squadron, but he never expected that it actually surrounded a reorganized brigade.
"No wonder the Japs are so anxious. They all rush towards Hexi Township in a swarm. It turns out that there is a large group of Japs surrounded by us!"
After sighing, Li Yunlong asked again: "By the way, Zhuzhu, why did this Japanese army appear here, and what about the Japanese reinforcements in Luliang, Jiaxian, and Fangshan counties?"
"The situation is like this..."
At that moment, Wang Chengzhu sent the Yamazaki Brigade to the countryside to clean up, and then it was surrounded by the Independent Battalion. The other battalions of the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment came after hearing the news. Finally, according to Wang Chengzhu's suggestion, the news of encirclement and reinforcement of the Japanese was given to them.
Tell it exactly as it is.
