Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Black Cloud Village base.

Lin Qiang didn't know that Chu Yunfei had already gone to the independent regiment headquarters, nor did he know that the regiment commander Li Yunlong had taken the blame for him.

With the deployment of several hills in recent days, the defense of the base has become an iron plate.

Tanks posed no threat to the base. The only thing to worry about was the Japanese's large-scale artillery bombardment and the bombing by bomber formations.

The only way to prevent this from happening is to open up a battlefield elsewhere.

For example, Xiaowangzhuang.

Xiaowangzhuang is located between the base and the county seat, and is closer to the base.

With the map sent by Chu Yunfei, Lin Qiang had a better idea of the strategic layout.

Zhang Yuntian has now become the think tank of the team, and Qiangzi, Xu Lang and others are in charge of the team's training.

Inside the room, Zhang Yuntian was so shocked when he saw the incredibly detailed map that he couldn't close his mouth. "Platoon leader, where did you get this map?"

When he was working for the Japanese, although Zhang Yuntian was not an important figure and was just a squad leader of the puppet army, he had only seen such detailed and accurate maps in the office of the Japanese gendarmerie.

It was hung on the wall and covered by a curtain. I just took a look at it and was scolded by the Japanese.

Lin Qiang drew his attention back and pointed to the map on the wall. "The defense of the base is now completely complete. The next thing to consider is how to keep the battlefield outside the base."

"I called you here to hear what good ideas you have."

It was then that Zhang Yuntian realized that besides Lin Qiang, he was the only one in the room. Hu Zi and the others were not there. "Platoon leader, where are the others?"

"Why, you can't think of a solution now that the others are not here?"

Zhang Yuntian waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. It's just that you asked me to come here alone, which makes me feel a little flattered!"

"Stop talking so much."

Lin Qiang asked Zhang Yuntian to come to the front of the map and said, "Look, based on the deployment on this map, do you have any good ideas?"

This was the first time that Zhang Yuntian looked at the map so closely. He was shocked to find that not only the deployment of the Japanese troops was marked on it, but even the rivers, mountains, and terrain of each place were marked very clearly.

With this map, Zhang Yuntian felt more confident in his fight against the Japanese: "Platoon leader, we are strong and powerful now. Let's just take down all the Japanese artillery towers around the base!"

"no!"

Lin Qiang decisively rejected the proposal and explained, "If we really do that, won't the Japanese attack our base like crazy?"

"This, this, and this are all important areas for the Japanese. Even if we take out these Japanese artillery towers, they will occupy them right after we advance. It won't make much sense."

The plan should be considered based on the actual situation. There is not much significance in taking down the Japanese artillery tower. Not to mention sending a row of soldiers to garrison there, even an independent regiment would not do such a thing.

Back to the topic, Zhang Yuntian carefully looked at the situation around the base based on the questions raised by Lin Qiang.

After a while, he came up with a plan in his mind. He pointed to the location of Xiaowangzhuang on the map and said, "Platoon leader, how about we attack Xiaowangzhuang?"

"Look, Xiaowangzhuang is located between us and the Japanese. It's a very good buffer zone. It's not an important place for the Japanese. There's only one squadron of Japanese here. As long as we get close enough, we can catch them off guard."

"Based on the team's current combat effectiveness, the battle can be over in less than half an hour. The Japanese won't even have time to send reinforcements!"

Lin Qiang nodded and said, "That's what I thought."

"Platoon Leader, since you think so too, then let's..."

Zhang Yuntian did not continue speaking, but from his impatient expression it was not difficult to tell that he was another warmonger.

Lin Qiang asked with a smile, "Why are they all warmongers now?"

"Platoon leader, you don't know that our brothers are almost sick from holding it in."

Zhang Yuntian replied with what Lin Qiang had once said to him: "We train for battle, not for show. Brothers have been training for so long, just waiting for a battle to prove themselves!"

After a few days of rest, the problems of team morale and unity have long been solved. The soldiers are like howling wolves, waiting for the order from the leader Lin Qiang to hunt.

Today, the morale and cohesion of the first platoon are not inferior to any veteran team of the independent regiment.

"Go, notify all the captains and have them gather their teams and wait at the foot of the mountain!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuntian smiled from ear to ear and stood at attention and replied, "Yes!"

After Zhang Yuntian left, Lin Qiang couldn't help laughing and said to himself, "With a strong army and strong horses, it's time to let the Japanese get a taste of what it's like to be beaten!"

……

That evening.

On a hillside less than one kilometer away from Xiaowangzhuang, Lin Qiang was leading several team leaders to observe the situation inside Xiaowangzhuang.

Behind them, a row of thousands of soldiers were ready to rush into Xiaowangzhuang and kill the Japs at any time.

Lin Qiang handed the telescope to Hu Zi. He might not be as good as Zhang Yuntian in terms of strategy, but when it comes to fighting, he is far better than Zhang Yuntian.

After observing for a while, Hu Zi had a battle plan in mind and said to Lin Qiang, "Platoon leader, if we want to end the battle quickly, the best way is to sneak in and launch a surprise attack."

This time, no battle plan was made in advance. Lin Qiang wanted to test the on-the-spot combat capabilities of Hu Zi and others.

There is not always enough time to make plans, and Lin Qiang knows very well that plans can never keep up with changes.

If there is no on-the-spot combat capability and the situation on the battlefield changes, it means that the battle will end in failure.

Losing a battle means that the team will suffer heavy casualties, which is something Lin Qiang does not want to see.

The soldiers have shed too much blood and made too many sacrifices. If he has the system but still uses the previous tactics to fight, then he, as a time traveler, will be a waste.

"Tell me about your plan in detail."

Lin Qiang wanted everyone else to listen as well, so that they could understand the key to victory on the battlefield.

Hu Zi put down the telescope and pointed to the right side of Xiaowangzhuang and said, "I just took a look. The right side is the enemy's weak point. Although there is a two-meter-high earthen wall there, it is a piece of cake for the special forces."

"My plan is simple. Send the special forces team inside, and the other teams will attack the Japanese from three sides simultaneously. We have sufficient manpower, and the Japanese will definitely be exhausted. The special forces team is inside, and we are outside. The Japanese will never expect the special forces team to appear behind them!"

After listening to this, the others nodded silently and expressed their agreement with the plan.

Lin Qiang was also quite satisfied. Hu Zi knew how to take advantage of the team's strengths, could see the weaknesses in the Japanese deployment, and could come up with a complete plan in a short period of time. This made him very satisfied.

Duan Peng moved closer to Lin Qiang and said, "Platoon Leader, I agree with Hu Zi's plan. A two-meter-high earthen wall is no problem for us, but I need some help."

Lin Qiang asked: "How do you need help?"

Duan Peng didn't hesitate and said directly, "There are about a dozen Japanese soldiers behind the earthen wall. The special forces can only have a maximum of five people entering at a time. It is difficult to eliminate all of them in the first place. Once they are tied down, it will cause great obstacles to subsequent operations."

"You mean, you need someone to help you get rid of those dozen devils?"

Lin Qiang immediately assigned this task to Xu Lang: "Xu Lang, pick a few soldiers with good marksmanship, move along the hillside, and reach the high point on the right to assist the special forces team."

"Yes!"

"Do you have any other plans?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Lin Qiang hammered out his plan and ordered, "Qiangzi, go to the left, and the others will attack from the front. The sound of gunfire is the command!"

"I only have one request, I don't want to see any casualties!"
