Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Long Wenjian hugged the 107mm rocket launcher and touched and kissed it, as if he saw his daughter-in-law in some mother-in-law's belly.

"It's more than good, it's perfect! With this thing, we can cross the river and directly bomb the damn Japanese!"

Wang Meng saw that the fickle Long Wenjian seemed to be similar to the smooth-tempered Li Yunlong.

"Okay, since you want it, I'll give it to you, but you have to understand the 107mm howitzer. This 107mm rocket can still be used even without a launcher!"

This touched upon Long Wenjian's blind spot. According to his understanding, the rocket was like a bullet and the launcher was like a gun. How could the bullet be fired without a gun?

"I do not believe!"

Wang Meng didn't argue with him and directly took out a booklet from the wooden box.

This booklet was written by Lin Shubing himself. It introduces how to use a simple device to launch rockets in extreme situations.

The launch pad can be replaced by an earthen mound or tree branches. If you are too lazy to find earthen mounds or tree branches, you can just place it flat on the ground.

Aiming requires the use of a specially configured tool, an extremely lightweight caliper-style sight.

This sight has distance and azimuth scales on it. By clamping it on the rocket and aligning it with the white marking line, you can ensure actual shooting accuracy during simple launch.

Of course, if it is not placed on the launch pad, the accuracy of the shooting distance will be reduced to 4 kilometers. However, once the war reaches this point, it is estimated that 107 rockets will be used in a bayonet fight, and four kilometers will be enough.

Of course, after aiming, the next step is to fire.

A more brutal way is to pry open the bottom of the 107mm rocket and fire it directly with a few dry batteries.

However, later, when the 107mm rocket launcher became popular all over the world, the innovative guerrillas directly ignited the rockets with fire, just like setting off firecrackers, and released them in rows.

Therefore, this 107mm rocket launcher directly became the first of the three magic weapons in guerrilla warfare.

When Long Wenjian looked at the operating manual, it was like he had opened the door to a new world. He had never imagined that rocket launcher shells could be used in this way.

"Chief of Staff, you have such a good thing, why are you giving it to us only now?"

"Uh, I forgot before..."

When everyone heard this, they all fainted. They didn't expect Wang Meng to stop pretending and tell the truth directly.

"Okay, since you've made up for it for us now, I'll forgive you!"

Wang Meng thought of guerrilla warfare, and suddenly he came up with the idea of ​​enlarging Master Shihang's guerrillas on Mount Hengshan on the opposite side.

"Hey, Long Wenjian, are you in contact with the Dahengshan guerrillas? How are they doing now?"

Long Wenjian raised his head from the operating manual and searched for a moment.

"Oh, you are talking about Master Shihang's guerrillas. Meng Fanle has been in contact with them. He reported to me some time ago that the guerrillas have grown to more than 1,200 people and are now the strongest anti-Japanese team on the west bank of the Nujiang River."

"Well, inform Master Shihang. I will lead a team over there tomorrow morning to take a look and investigate the Japanese's defenses!"

As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Long Wenjian stood up with a look of horror on his face.

"Chief of Staff, you want to go there in person? That's not right. Although the Japanese have been suppressed by us, they have captured many civilians and deployed a large number of engineering troops to hollow out the west bank of the Nujiang River.

The entire west bank of the Nujiang River is like an ant nest, with underground transportation extending in all directions. You never know when a machine gun will suddenly appear from the side of the road and shoot at you. "

Wang Meng frowned and looked at the west bank of the Nujiang River from afar. He seemed to vaguely see the Japanese devils still throwing the dug stones into the Nujiang River.

"If that's the case, I'll have to go take a look. If we launch a river crossing campaign, I will definitely be the supreme commander. If I don't even have a clear understanding of the approximate distribution, thickness, and type of the enemy's fortifications, then I'm commanding like a blind and deaf person."

"Hey, Chief of Staff, you can take a look at the map we brought back! We send out scouts to survey and map almost every day, and then improve the map and update it in real time.

Even if the Japanese built an extra toilet, we would immediately mark it on the map the next day.

Moreover, the Sichuan Army and the Tiger Regiment conducted surveys separately and compared them every week. If they encountered any disputed locations, they would immediately send troops to investigate again.

So, although we are not familiar with the interior of the Japanese fortifications, we still have a good idea of ​​some of the external firing points."

What Wang Meng is most concerned about now is the internal structure of the Japanese fortifications. After all, the height difference between the highest peak on the west bank of the Nujiang River and the river surface is more than 100 meters.

In other words, if aerial bombing is used, it will pose no threat to deeper fortifications.

If we use direct artillery fire, we can temporarily suppress the Japanese's firepower, but we can't bombard them all day, right? There must be a time to stop firing, right?

Therefore, the way to break through the strongest line of defense is often to break through from the inside.

"It's settled. Tomorrow, Meng Fanle will lead a squad of soldiers, and I will lead a squad of soldiers to cross the river!"

After Wang Meng finished speaking, he went back in a hurry to catch up on his sleep.

After Wang Meng walked away, Long Wenjian quietly called Meng Fanle over.

"Captain Meng? No, since you have been my messenger for so many years, I will tell you in secret that you are going to be the commander of the armored division, right?"

Meng Fan felt a little dizzy. He was just a company commander in the Central Army at first, then he became a battalion commander, and now he is directly a division commander?

"No, it's rising too fast, I can't do it!"

Yu Xiaoqing rushed forward and hugged Meng Fanle who was about to run away.

"You have to do it even if you can't. Don't worry, the deputies are all experienced armored officers, transferred from Pingshun. Moreover, even if our Sichuan Army Corps is not reorganized, isn't an infantry battalion under your command about 8,000 people? What's the difference between this and a division?"

Meng Fanle felt scared when he thought about this. At the beginning, Long Wenjian seemed to be afraid of being poor. He went to Baoshan twice a month to ask for people from the recruit training camp.

They were worn out by the pressure and, without violating any principles, they continued to send new recruits to the Sichuan Army.

Therefore, Yu Xiaoqing tried his best to stuff people into various infantry battalions and artillery battalions.

One infantry battalion is equipped with one supplementary battalion. Each battalion has ten companies, and each company has more than 300 people.

Meng Fan was annoyed. He was just a battalion commander, but he was forced to do the work of a regiment commander or a division commander, which made him so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back.

"General Long, please forgive me! My father is counting on me to try hard and give him a big fat grandson."

"Meng is annoying! Did you study in vain? Without a country, there is no home. Why do you always think about your little home? I tell you, if you don't agree, I will use a loud speaker to make your Xiaozui unable to raise his head in the whole Zenda!"
