Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 369: Command? Just rush in!
"That's the situation. I hope you, Captain Li, will send a telegram to Colonel Li and Colonel Qin to see if they can mobilize the transport team of the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion to pick up Political Commissar Zhao.

Send the supplies collected by Political Commissar Zhao to the troops as soon as possible."

Xing Zhiguo quickly arrived at the headquarters of the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion.

After rushing to the artillery battalion of the Pioneer Regiment, Xing Zhiguo did not deal with Zhu Ziming's affairs immediately.

Instead, he stopped Li Erhu, who was about to enter the garrison to reorganize the troops, and told him all his needs.

Let Li Erhu use the radio carried by the Pioneer Regiment's Artillery Battalion to send a message to Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming, asking whether the transport team of the Pioneer Regiment's Artillery Battalion can be mobilized to meet Zhao Gang's material transport team.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send a telegram to inquire immediately."

Li Erhu listened to Xing Zhiguo's request and did not refuse.

As the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Li Erhu naturally knew how important the supplies sent by Zhao Gang were.

In particular, the artillery battalion on his side not only had all of the Vanguard Regiment's barreled artillery and heavy mortars, but also all of the Vanguard Regiment's remaining ammunition and various logistical supplies.

If it starts to rain heavily in Ping'an County after the attack begins, they will definitely not be able to deliver the supplies to Qin Yangming in time.

Even if Qin Yangming attacked Ping'an County, with the help of Qingquan Muyi and Murakuchi Saburo, he could take Ping'an County with a small amount of ammunition.

But the vanguard group needs to do more than just capture Ping'an County.

After all, the subsequent combat plan still requires the Vanguard Regiment to confront the Japanese 11th Brigade.

If there are not enough ammunition and supplies, what can the Vanguard Regiment use to fight against the Japanese 11th Brigade?
After all, the caliber of weapons and equipment equipped by Qin Yangming's vanguard regiment is different from that used by the Japanese devils.

This means that even if Qin Yangming captured Ping'an County without bloodshed, he would not be able to obtain sufficient ammunition supplies from Ping'an County.

Especially the 79mm caliber bullets used by light weapons, the 7.62mm caliber bullets used by heavy machine guns, and the 60mm mortar shells and 82mm mortar shells used by the equipment.

The Japanese did not have these equipments and could only replenish them from behind.

Unless Qin Yangming used the system to exchange supplies on the spot, the ammunition Qin Yangming carried with him would not be enough to fight against the Japanese 11th Brigade.

It is hard to say whether we can stop the attack of the Japanese 11th Brigade.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the vanguard regiment is strong, but the combat effectiveness of the Japanese is not bad either. Although the 11th Brigade of the Japanese is not the elite field force among the Japanese troops.

However, as a mobile field force, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese 11th Brigade was not bad at all.

At that time, we will face the Japanese 11th Brigade which has sufficient supplies, and has the advantage in manpower and firepower.

Lacking an artillery battalion and sufficient ammunition, the Vanguard Regiment had greatly reduced firepower and might not be able to withstand the attack of the Japanese 11th Brigade.

Therefore, in order to prevent the vanguard regiment from being unable to withstand the attack of the Japanese 11th Brigade, which would lead to the failure of the offensive plan to completely annihilate the Japanese 11th Brigade, the only choice was to defend Ping'an County.

Then Li Erhu must speed up and deliver the ammunition to Qin Yangming in time.

At least with sufficient ammunition, the Vanguard Regiment could rely on a large number of light machine guns and heavy machine guns to suppress the Japanese 11th Brigade with infantry firepower.

With sufficient firepower and a little bit of terrain advantage, Qin Yangming might be able to lead the Vanguard Regiment to withstand the attack of the Japanese 11th Brigade until the Independent Regiment arrived with the remaining troops to support.

Finally completed the plan to completely annihilate the Japanese 11th Brigade.

"Quick, follow Deputy Commander Xing's request and send a telegram to Commander Li and the Commander immediately to ask if we can mobilize our transport team to meet up with Political Commissar Zhao and bring over those supplies, especially the wooden planks."

Li Erhu knew the importance of the matter and did not delay. After responding to Xing Zhiguo, he immediately asked the communicator who had just arrived to quickly return to the confidential room to send the telegram.

Ask Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming to see if they can mobilize a part of the transport team to meet Zhao Gang and bring over the supplies that Zhao Gang has collected first.

Especially the wooden boards collected by Zhao Gang.

The other supplies Zhao Gang collected were secondary, the most important ones were the wooden boards.

As long as there are enough wooden boards, they can directly pave a road with them. As long as the wooden boards can withstand the crushing of the carts, the carts can pass through the muddy roads smoothly and deliver the supplies smoothly to Qin Yangming, that will be enough.

Other things are relatively unimportant.

As for the young and strong, they are not that important in Li Erhu's opinion.

As long as their plan to attack the Zhangzhuang stronghold goes smoothly, they can directly withdraw troops and let the soldiers carry out transportation.

At worst, we can draw out the soldiers from the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment to form a transport team to carry out the transportation.

Artillery is a branch of the military that requires sufficient physical endurance and strength.

Among the vanguard regiment, the special operations team has the highest treatment, followed by the artillery battalion.

Among the soldiers in the artillery battalion of the Vanguard Regiment, the smallest one is 1.8 meters tall.

The strength and endurance of these warriors are not comparable to those of the young and strong men who were summoned.

After all, they are young and strong people composed of ordinary people, and they are young and strong people from the areas of Fu'an County that have just been recaptured by the Eighth Route Army.

Their strength is definitely not as good as that of the soldiers in the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion.

And those wooden boards are used for more than just paving roads.

Most importantly, it can also be used to build floating bridges.

Although there is a large bridge over the Dongzhang River, there are also some pontoon bridges built in advance by the Eighth Route Army in other areas.

However, those floating bridges have limited carrying capacity and cannot carry a lot of materials at one time.

As for the Dongzhang River Bridge, if the strongholds built by the Japanese on both sides of the Dongzhang River Bridge were not captured in time, the Japanese in the strongholds would be desperate and directly blow up the bridge.

Then the Dongzhang River Bridge will naturally be useless.

Without the Dongzhang River Bridge, we have to rely on the original floating bridges. Who knows when all the supplies can be delivered?
I was not worried at first because I had calculated how long it would take to transport the supplies across the pontoon bridge.

Be prepared.

Moreover, when the independent regiment attacks the Zhangzhuang stronghold, those supplies can continue to be transported.

But now it’s different, you never know when it will rain.

If it rains heavily and causes the river to rise, the original floating bridge may not be usable.

And rain will delay transportation time.

Therefore, in order to be able to transport all supplies to Ping'an County in a timely manner.

Then it is necessary to add more pontoon bridges to transport supplies across the Dongzhang River Bridge at a faster speed.

"By the way, Deputy Commander Xing, the security officer of your independent regiment is over there. I have someone guarding him.

I wonder if the security officer came to check the security of our artillery battalion on your order, Deputy Commander Xing? Or did someone else speak up? "After arranging for the communicator to send the message and watching the communicator quickly run into the position, Li Erhu pointed to Zhu Ziming who was being guarded not far away and asked Xing Zhiguo.

He wanted to see if it was the intention of Deputy Commander Xing Zhiguo to have Zhu Ziming come to the artillery battalion of the Pioneer Regiment to check the security work.

If this is what Deputy Head Xing Zhiguo meant, then Li Erhu would have to consider whether to report this matter to Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming.

After all, Zhu Ziming is just a security officer of a low rank. No matter how much trouble Zhu Ziming makes, the impact he can cause will not be significant.

But Xing Zhiguo is different.

As the deputy commander of the independent regiment and the second-in-command of the independent regiment's military chief, if Xing Zhiguo had any ideas about the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment.

That's a big problem.

Now the remaining two artillery battalions and the artillery battalion of the independent regiment as well as the remaining troops are all under the command of Xing Zhiguo.

If Xing Zhiguo wanted to make things difficult for the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment, then Li Erhu would have to ask Li Yunlong or Qin Yangming to replace them.

Directly release Xing Zhiguo back to Fu'an County and let Zhao Gang come to command the troops.

Anyway, after taking down the strongholds and artillery towers set up by the Japanese along the Dongzhang River, the independent regiment will be under Li Yunlong's command again.

Even though Zhao Gang's command ability is not as good as Xing Zhiguo's, it is just a matter of attacking a few artillery towers and bunkers, and the artillery still plays the leading role.

In this case, there is absolutely no need for any command or anything like that.

Just rush forward.

However, the possibility of Xing Zhiguo targeting the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment is very small.

Just in case, Li Erhu still asked.

"I have never issued such an order. Zhu Ziming's case was his own decision, not my order.

Captain Li, don't worry, I will personally handle Zhu Ziming's matter later, and I promise to give you an explanation!"

The Japanese soldier heard Li Erhu asking whether Zhu Ziming's coming to check the security situation of the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment was an order issued by himself, the deputy regiment commander.

Xing Zhiguo immediately shook his head to deny it and made his attitude clear.

Xing Zhiguo was the deputy head of the group, so he naturally knew what Li Erhu meant.

As Li Yunlong's old comrade-in-arms, after Li Yunlong issued those orders regarding the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment.

Xing Zhiguo keenly realized that the core of Li Yunlong's attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold this time was the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment.

And it is definitely not artillery such as the mountain artillery in the vanguard regiment's artillery battalion.

It must be because there is something very special in the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment. Li Yunlong’s real purpose is to use that item to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold in a short time.

Moreover, that item was extremely special and important, so important that even he, the deputy head of the independent regiment and the third in command, had no right to know about it.

And it was definitely not because they were worried that he, the deputy head of the group, would leak the secret that they did not let Xing Zhiguo know.

After all, if Xing Zhiguo were to surrender to the enemy and commit treason, not many people in the independent regiment would be able to keep their minds stable.

Therefore, it is impossible that Li Yunlong did not let Xing Zhiguo know for the sake of confidentiality.

All the circumstances indicate that there must be extremely dangerous weapons and equipment in the Vanguard Regiment's artillery battalion that carry great risks in use.

He, the deputy head of the group, was not informed, and it was not because of confidentiality requirements.

When Xing Zhiguo noticed that a transport team of the Pioneer Regiment's artillery battalion was surrounded by the Pioneer Regiment's escort troops, and that the transport team was a certain distance away from the main force, and the nearby soldiers were wearing gas masks.

Xing Zhiguo immediately deduced what the mysterious weapons and equipment in the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment were.

Thinking of the weapons and equipment carried by the artillery battalion of the vanguard regiment, Xing Zhiguo couldn't help but look at Li Erhu.

"Captain Li...if it rains, can the smoke still rise normally?"

Xing Zhiguo thought about the characteristics of that weapon, looked back at the thick clouds in the sky in the direction of Ping'an County, and asked Li Erhu with a hint of worry.

Hearing Xing Zhiguo's question, Li Erhu narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that Deputy Captain Xing has good eyesight. I guess he guessed what the captain is going to use."

Li Erhu guessed in his heart that Xing Zhiguo must know what they were going to use, but Li Erhu did not admit it.

Instead, he took out a cigarette, handed one to Xing Zhiguo, and then lit one for himself.

Li Erhu lit a cigarette, but did not smoke it. Instead, he held the cigarette upright and spoke.

“When it rains, the rain will disperse some of the smoke.

But smoke is essentially just some ash, some very fine ash.

As long as the amount put into it at one time is sufficient and the rain is not very heavy, the smoke can still have some effect.

And before it rains, the smoke will dissipate downwards due to air pressure... No, Deputy Commander Xing, you see this smoke, after floating up for a distance, it starts to sink."

Li Erhu looked at the cigarette in his hand and watched the smoke begin to sink. A topographic map of the Zhangzhuang stronghold emerged in his mind.

As a top artilleryman.

Li Erhu can use all types of barreled artillery and is familiar with the use of all artillery shells.

So Li Erhu naturally knew how to use poison gas bombs so that they could exert their maximum power.

At the same time, it can also avoid harming friendly forces while killing the enemy as much as possible.

For example, on a rainy day, before the heavy rain falls, due to the air pressure, the poisonous gas, which is slightly heavier than the air, will float downwards, then slowly dissipate into the air and gradually become diluted.

However, under the influence of air pressure, the poisonous gas will sink downwards faster.

By then, the poison gas will sink too quickly and will definitely not have time to dissipate into the air.

The poisonous gas will not have time to dissipate and will gather in low-lying areas.

Although the Japanese Zhangzhuang stronghold was built on a high place, that place did not have a sharp top.

At that time, you just need to fire all the poison gas bombs to the highest point.

Then the poison gas can be pressed into the bunkers below with the help of air pressure.
