Anti-Japanese War: Plunder the devils to create a super army

Li Yunlong took a look and quickly nodded.

"Dechang County is indeed a good target. There aren't many Japanese troops around, just a few strongholds."

"Although Ping'an County and Heyuan County are more prosperous, they are far away from them, and there are more Japanese troops around them. Once a fight breaks out, support from the surrounding areas will definitely arrive at the first time."

"On the contrary, there will be a gap in the battle for Dechang County, which will give us ample time to attack."

This is also the reason why Wang Lin chose this target.

Dechang County is located relatively far to the south, a little far away from the concentrated Japanese troops. After the road was destroyed, the support speed was greatly reduced, and it was difficult to arrive in the first time.

This will give them enough time to attack and capture the county town.

After all, the most troublesome part of attacking a county town is the constant supply of support troops.

Once the attack on the county town begins, the surrounding Japanese troops will quickly come to support it, and a large number of puppet troops and devils will inevitably come to stop it.

The battle will become bigger and bigger, and eventually it will become very troublesome.

It is very difficult for a regiment of troops to capture a county town, especially if there are a large number of support troops around who keep coming to stop them.

The battle naturally becomes more troublesome.

However, the independent regiment itself was not an ordinary regiment, so it was not particularly difficult to capture Dechang County.

Moreover, the Japanese troops are now mainly concentrated along the Zhengtai Railway, and there are not many troops available to support, especially in the counties that are far away.

Zhao Gang, who had been silent all the time, said helplessly at this moment.

"Anyway, I can't stop you now. You're just sneaking in to attack the stronghold and running to Taiyuan to attack the Japanese airport."

"The higher-ups haven't mentioned your problems, and I don't have the time to say anything more now. It's up to you."

Wang Lin looked at the other person and felt inexplicably pity for him.

Zhao Gang now feels that he, as the political commissar, is simply a tool for ideological transformation.

According to his duties as the political commissar, he should have stopped Li Yunlong's actions. It was definitely impossible for him to let them attack the county town like this. After all, they only had one regiment.

But the problem is that the independent regiment doesn't look like a regiment at all.

The firepower of that damn independent regiment is almost comparable to that of a brigade.

In particular, Li Yunlong led the independent regiment to disobey orders twice in a row and took action on his own, but he was not punished by his superiors.

As the political commissar, he found it difficult to speak.

For now, we might as well just pretend that we saw nothing and let the independent regiment act however it wants.

Of course, another part of the reason was that Zhao Gang knew in his heart that the independent regiment was indeed very powerful.

With the independent regiment's current firepower and equipment, taking a county town is no longer a problem.

Otherwise, he would not be at ease and let the independent regiment attack the county town.

Once it was confirmed, the independent regiment immediately took action.

In the afternoon, the independent regiment packed up its supplies and equipment and headed towards Dechang County.

It is also worth mentioning that the 3rd Company of the Special Operations Battalion has also joined. Duan Peng has performed outstandingly during this period, and Wang Lin appointed him as the platoon leader of the 3st Platoon of the 1rd Company.

This time, the battle to attack the county town must use the troops at our disposal, and the special operations battalion must play a role in this battle.

It is very troublesome to attack the county town from the outside, and the city wall will be the biggest obstacle.

Even artillery would require a lot of effort to break it.

In this process, their independent regiment will definitely suffer great losses. The best way is to find a way to break in.

There is no doubt that a frontal breakthrough is impossible, so the only way is to break through from the inside.

The independent regiment quickly arrived at Dechang County, and they did not encounter any other Japanese devils along the way.

The Japanese here seem to be hiding in the county town and not coming out, and the same is true for the surrounding strongholds.

After learning about this situation, Wang Lin immediately frowned.

"It seems that the number of Japanese soldiers in the county town will only increase. There are at least three strongholds around it, which means that the number of Japanese soldiers in the county town may reach 500 to 600."

"In addition to these, with the addition of seven or eight hundred puppet troops, the total number of troops in the entire county is nearly two thousand enemies."

Wang Lin had never considered this point.

Li Yunlong nodded and said.

"The Japanese do have more troops than we thought, but they shouldn't pose much of a threat to us."

"We have enough firepower this time. We can bomb them from outside first."

"First bombard their outer walls, then launch the attack."

In the past, if the Eighth Route Army wanted to capture a county town, they had to send a large number of troops to charge forward.

But now it’s different if it’s their independent regiment, as they have plenty of artillery shells.

Wang Lin had previously exchanged a large number of artillery shells, and now they have all fallen into the hands of the independent regiment.

The independent regiment currently has at least hundreds of artillery shells.

Especially in the last ambush of the Japanese battalion, a large number of artillery shells were captured. Li Yunlong did not intend to be too frugal in this battle.

After all, attacking a county town is no joke, and you have to use all the strength you have.

Wang Lin thought for a moment and then spoke.

"A frontal attack is definitely impossible. The Japanese are on high alert. The battle on the Zhengtai Railway has alerted all the Japanese soldiers around them."

"If we rashly launch a frontal attack at this time, we will definitely not gain any benefits. I think we should attack at night."

Wang Lin thought about it and felt that the best way was to launch the attack at night.

Although the night will reduce the shooting level of their soldiers, don't forget that the Eighth Route Army is best at night combat.

Fighting at night is actually the attack method that the Eighth Route Army is best at.

Li Yunlong felt that it made sense.

"In that case, let's wait until night."

Wang Lin continued to develop a more detailed battle plan.

"I think our Special Operations Battalion's 1st Company should be the first to enter this battle. We can climb over the wall and enter the city at night."

"This way, you guys attack from the outside to attract their attention, and we'll attack from the inside, creating a pincer attack on them."

"In this way, we can easily deal with the Japanese devils in the county."

This was the plan Wang Lin came up with.

The Japanese county town has strong defenses, and it will take a long time for them to attack head-on.

If the special forces battalion can be allowed to enter the interior to fight, it will definitely greatly reduce the opponent's city wall defense.

In this way, Li Yunlong's side will be able to attack quickly.
