Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Lin Tian glanced at the company and platoon leaders in the conference room.

Combat missions were issued one by one.

"Shunliu, your sharpshooter platoon will be divided into two parts."

"Some troops will conduct covert reconnaissance on the high ground north of the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp to find out the enemy's firepower points and at least eliminate half of the enemy's firepower before the battle begins."

"The other part is hidden between the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp and the Fourth Brigade's base, a total of 40 kilometers of front line."

"Keep an eye on the movements of the 4th Brigade. If they come to reinforce the Qingshan POW camp, you will conduct guerrilla warfare in the surrounding areas, harass the enemy and kill or injure the enemy commander."

"We should try to hold off the reinforcements from the 4th Brigade as long as possible. By the time they arrive at the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp, they will have been physically and mentally devastated."

He stood up and saluted, then sat down.

"Order, Wang Chengzhu's artillery company, take all artillery and hide 3 kilometers southwest of Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp after o'clock tonight."

"Once the battle begins, we will first give the Japs a bath with artillery fire."

Wang Chengzhu also stood up and saluted, his eyes determined and his face full of excitement.

I can finally fire as hard as I can...

One-time fun...

"Since this is an offensive, the cavalry will be of little use. They will just be sitting ducks for the enemy's machine guns."

"Before the battle begins, we must cut off the communication between the Japanese in the prisoner-of-war camp and the outside world. After the telephone lines are cut off, the Japanese will definitely send messengers to ask for help."

"So I ordered Zhang Laoer to lead the cavalry company to disperse around the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp and wait for an opportunity to kill the messengers sent by the devils."

"And use the mobility of the cavalry to harass the enemy's reinforcements."

Zhang Laoer laughed and answered generously, "Yes!"

Lin Tian looked at Dahai and Fangzheng again and ordered: "Daihai, Fangzheng, divide your people into two parts."

"30 men from the machine gun company and 50 men from the infantry company."

"Ambush the enemy's 4th Brigade on its route to prevent them from receiving reinforcements."

"I will have Zhu Zi transfer 20 mortars and all grenade launchers to you, plus three Type 3 infantry guns, to strengthen your firepower output."

"The rest of you will follow me and enter the position and hide after 2 o'clock tonight."

"Monk, your guard platoon will also come with me."

Several people saluted at the same time, their eyes full of excitement.

Lin Tian sent another telegram to the headquarters, explaining the operation and requesting the headquarters to help block the Japanese reinforcements coming from other directions.

General Lao expressed great satisfaction with Lin Tian’s battle plan. He gave a few instructions and said that he would order friendly troops to prevent the enemy from reinforcing.

After dinner, the troops gathered at the training ground, waiting for Lin Tian's instructions.

"Comrades, I won't say anything else. Our brothers and sisters are being tortured by the devils in the prisoner-of-war camps."

"I only have one request, kill all the devils in the prisoner-of-war camp and rescue our compatriots."

"This is a tough battle, but we will make the devils pay a bloody price!"

"We will wake up the devils even in hell and make them regret being our enemy!"

"eye for eye!"

Lin Tian slammed his fist on the table, his eyes full of hatred, and roared.

When the soldiers heard Lin Tian’s words, their morale rose and their eyes gleamed with excitement.

After several months of training, both veterans and new recruits are now full of energy, waiting for the day when Lin Tian will take them to take out their anger on the Japanese.

Especially for the veterans, it was so exciting and satisfying to fight with Lin Tian.

In their minds, as long as they followed Lin Tian, ​​they would be able to defeat the Japanese. The Japanese, who were usually so arrogant, were like paper and vulnerable in front of the troops led by Lin Tian.

Coupled with the national hatred and family feuds, everyone became extremely excited when they heard that Lin Tian wanted to fight the Japanese.

"eye for eye!"

"eye for eye!"

"Kill the devil!"

"Kill the devil!"

"Kill the devil!"

Lin Tian waved his hand and ordered: "The troops will set out in batches and enter their respective positions according to the existing combat plan."

……

At this time, inside the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment.

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie received the telegram from the brigade at the same time.

They were asked to strengthen reconnaissance, keep the troops highly vigilant, and always pay attention to the movements of the Japanese 8th Mixed Brigade in Ping'an County.

However, because the Japanese army has recently increased its efforts to decipher our telegrams, the brigade was worried that the plan would be leaked, so they did not tell them the specific reasons.

At this time, all three regiments entered combat status.

Since the three regiments’ bases were not far from each other, Li Yunlong hurriedly called Ding Wei and Kong Jie to discuss the matter.

Looking at the map in front of him, Ding Wei said calmly: "Lao Li, Lao Kong, I'm sure the headquarters will make a big move this time."

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and said, "Old Ding, what nonsense are you talking about? There is no big move at the headquarters. How can we send out our three main regiments at the same time?"

"Also, have you read the telegram from the Brigade Headquarters carefully? The Brigade Headquarters only asked us to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese in Ping'an County."

"What does this mean? It means that it is very likely that the Japanese will mobilize the entire 8th Mixed Brigade."

"Otherwise, do you think that we three main groups are being called to attend the fucking locust-licking banquet?"

Kong Jie thought for a moment and said, "What Lao Li said makes sense. The headquarters can dispatch three main regiments at a time just to prevent the enemy from reinforcing."

"It's conceivable that there will be big moves somewhere else."

"But where could this place be?"

Hearing this, Ding Wei's eyes suddenly locked onto a small black dot on the map, with the words "Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp" clearly marked next to the black dot.

"Okay, stop guessing. I'm sure there will be some action near the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp this time."

Ding Wei pointed at the map.

"Look, to the east of this Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp is Ping'an County, where the Japanese Eighth Mixed Brigade is stationed."

"To the west is the fourth brigade of the Japanese."

"The Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp, the headquarters had long wanted to get rid of it, but they had no weapons to attack it, so they let it exist for so long."

"I heard that the headquarters recently created a new military sub-district, and appointed Lin Tian, ​​Lao Li's former platoon leader, as the commander."

"Besides, this Lin Tian has a lot of heavy firepower under his command. I think he is definitely going to attack the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie looked at the map in thought for a moment, then nodded, thinking that Ding Wei's analysis was correct.

But where did Lin Tian get the confidence to attack the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp? They had just been out for a short time. Even if they were well-equipped, they could not withstand the shortage of people.

There is a battalion of Japanese troops in the prisoner-of-war camp, and it is not far from the headquarters of the 4th Brigade, so the enemy can send reinforcements at any time.

It's really incredible.

Since a young man like Lin Tian dared to take the initiative to challenge the devils, the three veterans must not be timid...

Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and laughed out loud.

"Hey, Lao Li, you're going backwards the more you mess around."

"The platoon leader under you is now the commander, so he is your superior. You, Old Li, will have to salute Lin Tian when you see him in the future."

"Now you have even fallen to the point of being someone else's assistant. How can you be the leader of the group?"

After saying this, Kong Jie and Ding Wei burst into laughter at the same time.

Li Yunlong's face turned red, and he cursed, "You fool Kong, you just took off the dough hat and you are so happy that you can't find your way?"

"You took off the dough hat because of Lin Tian's help. Why don't you blush?"

"The fight against the Yamazaki Squad has nothing to do with you, Kong Erlunzi."

"You two really should stop making fun of Old Li. When you see Lin Tian, ​​shouldn't you salute him and call him Chief?"

"You're even making fun of me. It's like a black pig laughing at an old crow."

"If you two are capable, you can become commanders. I promise that I will salute you every time I see you."

After saying this, the three of them burst into laughter, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

This is the iron triangle of northwest Shanxi. As soon as they meet, you insult me ​​and I insult you.

But on key issues, everyone has a tacit understanding and is a close comrade-in-arms.
