Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Li Yunlong nodded after hearing this. The independent regiment would still be the main force in this battle, and the other three regiments would only be responsible for coordinating and tightening the pocket.

"But the focus of our operation this time is not to annihilate the Noda Regiment, but this place."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to a place on the map and said loudly:

"You County, according to our intelligence personnel, is the most important material transfer center for the Japanese in this battle. There are mountains of various materials piled up inside."

"Once we capture this place, the Japanese frontline troops will be in chaos. They will then have no choice but to withdraw, and this battle will be over."

Hearing that they would suddenly be involved in such a major battle, the four battalion commanders of the independent regiment were gearing up, ready to take the lead in the next battle.

However, Li Yunlong turned around and asked again: "Xiao Kong, do you have any suggestions?"

"Captain, since our regiment is planning to attack You County, we must make arrangements in advance. I think we should have the special operations team sneak into the city to gather information and carry out a decapitation operation when necessary."

"Our special forces often face urban combat. This is a good opportunity. Once we kill the commander of the Japanese in the city, we can weaken the enemy's overall strength, making it easier for us to capture the county."

"Okay, Xiao Kong, we don't know anything about special operations, so you will be in charge. I will get people to cooperate with you."

"The rest of you follow the battle plan we made earlier. The Third Battalion is responsible for cutting off all the supply lines of the Noda Regiment. Zhang Dabiao's First Battalion and Shen Quan's Second Battalion must build ambush positions along the route the enemy must take to retreat. They must block the Japanese's route to flee eastward and create an opportunity to completely wipe out the Noda Regiment."

After receiving the order, each battalion commander went down to prepare. The time had come to test everyone. Whether they could withstand the first few rounds of attacks by the Noda Regiment depended on the true strength of the First and Second Battalions.

In fact, after yesterday's attack and the accidental bombing by its own aircraft, the Noda Regiment's total strength has been reduced to more than 1900 people, and one-third of them have suffered casualties.

The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army still had at least people. At the same time, because the Hexian county seat had stockpiled a large amount of ammunition and various supplies, they had no fear of fighting a war of attrition.

Just last night, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which had always been reluctant to leave its fortifications, even sent out several small units to engage in a night battle with the Japanese devils of the Noda Regiment.

Relying on the large number of mortars equipped, the 358th Regiment sent people to lurk near the Noda Regiment's camp at o'clock in the evening, and then used the range of the mortars to directly bombard the Japanese camp.

Regardless of whether we could hit the target or not, at least we could make a loud noise and keep the Japanese from getting any peace all night.

As expected, the Noda Regiment was fooled. In the darkness, the Japanese dared not pursue them for fear of being ambushed, so they could only keep shooting to block them.

The main reason was that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had a terrifyingly high proportion of automatic firearms. At the beginning, Commander Yan relied on the weapons and equipment produced by the Taiyuan Arsenal to make the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's equipment far superior to that of other local troops.

In the current 358th Regiment, each infantry squad has three Jin-made submachine guns, one Jin-made Type light machine gun, two Jin-made large-eye box cannons, and the rest are Jin-made Type rifles.

Moreover, each battalion has an artillery platoon equipped with four Jin-made mortars and a heavy machine gun company, with extremely powerful firepower.

Even though the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was not very good at fighting, no one could deny that their equipment was really strong. In small-scale troop battles, ordinary Japanese soldiers might not be able to defeat them.

Noda Kumaji was not stupid. If he sent troops to pursue at this time, facing the powerful continuous firepower of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, their troops equipped with Type 38 rifles would basically be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and there would be no return.

Moreover, the harassment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had to be prevented. The Chinese military strategy emphasizes: "When the enemy is weak, make him strong; when the enemy is strong, make him weak. Use both false and true methods. All is fair in war."

If you judge that the opponent will not attack and ignore the preparation in this regard, maybe the next time they will really attack, and a large number of Shanxi Suiyuan troops will pour into the position. This kind of thing has happened before.

Although the Japanese have been learning Chinese culture for thousands of years, because they are an island country, they have learned a lot of things that are not what they expected.

They did learn a lot of Chinese military tactics, but with their stingy personalities, they didn't grasp the essence of them at all.

What we care about is big strategy, big picture, and long-term vision; but the little guys have only learned one thing, that is, to be serious about everything, and to be extremely serious about everything, which has cultivated their stupid character. They only care about the immediate interests, and there has never been a master of strategic planning.

Take the Chinese nation for example. Even though there is such a huge gap in national strength between us and their nuclear-powered nations, we have also proposed a strategic plan to trade space for time.

The harassment war lasted all night. Although only dozens of Japanese soldiers were killed, it consumed a large amount of ammunition of the Noda Regiment and also prevented the Japanese soldiers from getting a good night's sleep.

The next morning, all the members of the Noda Corps had black eyes and finished their breakfast in a listless manner. Just as they were preparing to attack, they suddenly discovered a sad thing: their reserve ammunition seemed to be running low.

According to the original plan, a large transport convoy was to deliver supplies to their regiment this morning, but Noda Kumaji learned from a telegram that the transport convoy was robbed on the way and all the supplies were missing.

He hurriedly asked people to urgently count the ammunition in stock, and finally discovered a fact that all the Japanese could not accept: the Noda Regiment seemed to have not much ammunition left.

Mainly because last night, in order to hide the fear in their hearts, the Japanese, under the leadership of officers at all levels, continuously fired outside the position to prevent anyone who wanted to approach.

And they never have the habit of saving ammunition. As long as the ammunition is used up, the logistics personnel will deliver it to the soldiers as soon as possible.

Last night, the gunfire basically never stopped, especially during the day when the Japanese planes were inexplicably shot down, and the soldiers of the Yetian Regiment were completely shocked.

Some things that we are proud of or even think are absolutely safe, once they are broken, will cause self-doubt in a short period of time and people will become sensitive.

When counting the ammunition the next morning, Captain Noda suddenly discovered that their soldiers now had an average of only fifty bullets in their hands, and there were not many artillery shells left.

In addition, the logistics transport team simply could not deliver the troops in a short period of time. Now he had to think carefully about the transfer. He had just requested tactical guidance through a telegram, and the result was that it would take at least half a month for the reinforcements to arrive.

In this critical situation, if we don't find a way to make a tactical shift, the entire regiment will probably be destroyed in Hexian.
