Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Give up blocking?

Could it be that we have to watch helplessly as the Japanese troops go to reinforce and watch the comrades of the independent regiment be surrounded by the Japanese?

Of course it is impossible.

If this really happened, let’s not talk about how the superiors would deal with Lin Qiang.

Huge conflicts and disagreements will arise within the independent battalion, and if things go wrong, a large number of soldiers may even leave the battalion.

Lin Qiang will eventually be branded as a traitor.

Lin Qiang naturally would not do such a thing that would harm others and benefit himself.

Everyone present knew that the battalion commander would not do this, but they did not understand his intention.

Lin Qiang laughed and said, "Since we can't stop the reinforcements of 70,000 devils at the same time, then we might as well just give up."

At this moment, Zhang Yuntian suddenly realized what was happening and explained on behalf of Lin Qiang: "What the battalion commander meant was that the independent regiment's goal was to trap and kill the Japanese soldiers who fell into the pit. They asked us for help because they were worried that a large force would come to reinforce them while they were dealing with those Japanese soldiers."

"Since we can't stop them, let's just give up and reinforce the Independent Regiment instead."

"That's right!"

Lin Qiang glanced at Zhang Yuntian with satisfaction and said, "The Japanese don't have as much hatred for the Independent Regiment as we do. As long as we destroy them before they react, we can still complete the Independent Regiment's plan."

Everyone was silent for a moment, wondering whether this question was feasible.

After a moment, someone said, "Captain, this method is brilliant, but if the Japanese react quickly, won't we be attacked from both sides?"

Lin Qiang's eyes were firm. "This is indeed a risky move, but what war is without risks? Now we split into two groups. One group will quietly circle around the Independent Regiment and lie in ambush, while the other group will pretend to be a large force marching to attract the enemy's attention. If the battle breaks out on the Independent Regiment side, our brothers in ambush will immediately provide support, and the feinting troops can also react flexibly to contain the enemy."

Zhang Yuntian asked, "What if the Japs don't believe we will attack the county town?"

Lin Qiang smiled slightly and said confidently: "This depends on us to create some illusions."

"We can create some noise and have Zhang Zizai spread the word in the county that we are determined to take the county.

In addition, we can also deliberately reveal some battle deployments, indicating our battle plan and attack time. The Japanese are always arrogant and suspicious. If they get this information, they will definitely be cautious. "

"But we must wait until the Japanese fall into the trap set by the Independent Regiment before we can launch our plan."

"Otherwise, it would be like trying to cover up one's own faults."

After the meeting, all departments quickly carried out action deployment according to the plan.

The second company was still responsible for the defensive deployment of the Xiaowangzhuang position, but on the basis of the original troops, an additional team of one thousand people was added.

This was to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking and taking the opportunity to attack the Xiaowangzhuang position.

Once the Japanese take action, there will definitely be tens of thousands of troops coming, and the Second Company may not be able to hold on.

Zhang Yuntian was responsible for transmitting intelligence and spreading false information within the county.

Zhang Zizai cannot be left to complete this task, otherwise it will easily make the Japanese suspicious of him.

Xu Lang, Wang Qiang and others were responsible for creating the illusion that the team was about to attack.

There were still a few days left before the plan was implemented, enough time for the independent battalion to make some fake artillery.

The wooden fake cannon is not heavy and will not slow down the team's marching speed. It can also be discarded at any time to achieve a quick retreat.

With a detailed battle plan, Lin Qiang immediately called the independent regiment and asked them to inform Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang as soon as possible, otherwise it would be easy for the plan to go wrong.

After the call was connected, Lin Qiang briefly explained the plan to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

Li Yunlong laughed out loud after hearing this: "Haha, Lin Qiang, you're quite courageous! I, Li, admire you."

Zhao Gang also praised this plan as brilliant.

Lin Qiang smiled and responded, "If we can't stop the Japanese reinforcements, then we'll just make sure they don't have time to reinforce. I'll send all the special forces over, assault rifles, mortars, grenade launchers, and soldiers from the independent regiment."

"Captain, are you sure you can finish the battle within an hour?"

One hour, time is a bit tight.

But this is the best time. It will take about three hours for the Japanese to reinforce from the county town.

But we can't fight for two and a half hours, right?

It takes time for the team to retreat, and besides, when has Li Yunlong ever made a business that lost money?

The independent regiment is richer than the non-independent battalion, so it must clean up the battlefield after the battle.

War feeds war.

This is a method used by many teams.

After all, the pitiful output of the arsenal alone is not enough to cover the consumption of a main force regiment in a battle.

The real battle is not one shot at a time, but a firefight between the two sides.

It’s a competition of who has stronger firepower and who has more ammunition.

Once several attrition attacks have been carried out, if either side finds that the opponent's firepower has weakened, they will launch a group charge.

At this time, it all depends on who has stronger firepower.

Therefore, the cost of a battle is huge, and in the original work, there are often times when it is impossible to kill more Japanese devils due to lack of ammunition.

The battle ended in an hour, leaving the independent regiment with an hour to clean up the battlefield and another hour to withdraw from the battlefield.

Lin Qiang was waiting for Li Yunlong's answer.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if Li Yunlong said that more time is needed. At most, he can ambush a team halfway to create some trouble for the Japanese reinforcements.

Not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to delay time.

Li Yunlong was silent for a moment, then responded, "No problem. With your fully automatic firearm, there's absolutely no problem."

"but……"

Lin Qiang smiled knowingly when he heard this: "Don't worry, I'll leave after the fight."

The implication is: I don’t want any spoils at all.

"Hey hey hey!"

Li Yunlong's laughter came from the phone: "You said that yourself!"

……

The plan is going smoothly.

After two days of testing and investigation, the Japanese confirmed the authenticity of the intelligence.

So, on the morning of the fourth day, the Japanese sent out a regiment of lightly equipped troops.

At the same time, a rumor spread in Laiyuan County.

The independent battalion must liberate the county town, and it is determined to do so.

No one knew who spread the news, but rumors spread throughout the city in a short time.

The people were secretly happy that they were finally free from the oppression of the devils.

Zhang Zizai was secretly happy in his heart because the county town was liberated and he didn't have to continue pretending.

But he was very confused. If the independent battalion was going to launch an operation, why didn't they notify him in advance?

Is it possible...

Yes.

With the methods used by Battalion Commander Lin Qiang, he must have placed more than just himself and Zhao He in the county town.

However, as he thought deeply, Zhang Zizai thought of another possibility.

That is, liberating the county town was fake, and delaying the Japanese was real.

He did not send anyone to find Lin Qiang to verify the facts, nor did he send anyone to exaggerate the rumors to make the Japanese completely convinced.

Lin Qiang did not inform him, and the meaning was very clear, that is, this plan was fake. Once it was revealed by Zhang Zizai himself, he would definitely be suspected by the Japanese afterwards.

"The battalion commander didn't forget about me, he was protecting me!"
