A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

With the Kawaichi Division having more than 16,000 troops, if they retreat steadily and advance step by step to hold the dangerous positions, it will not be easy for Zheng Kaixuan to defeat them, and he will have to pay a heavy price.

After all, this is a division, and its size is there.

But no one knows what the Japanese were thinking. They actually gave up their only advantage and insisted on going into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with Zheng Kaixuan.

When Zheng Kaixuan told Li Yunlong and others about this discovery, Li Yunlong immediately burst into laughter.

"Guerrilla warfare, haha, I'm familiar with this."

Li Yunlong has done nothing but guerrilla warfare every day in these years.

Li Yunlong was very familiar with the strategic principles of assault warfare, mobile warfare, raid warfare, ambush warfare, etc., as well as the great man's guidance of retreating when the enemy advances and attacking when the enemy is tired.

"The Japanese are really crazy. Fighting guerrilla warfare with us is like bringing an axe to Lu Ban's door and asking for a beating at the doorstep of our ancestors."

Even the usually calm Xing Zhiguo smiled.

Zhao Gang also expressed his opinion at this time.

"Guerrilla warfare is indeed our strong point, but this time we are facing an entire division of the Japanese army. As the saying goes, a lion needs to fight a rabbit with all its might. I think we should try not to let our guard down."

"Also, in recent years, due to the rampant Japanese invasion of southeastern Shanxi, most of our people have taken refuge in the mountains. This time, the Kawagishi Division's entry into the mountains will bring great disaster to the people."

"Old Zheng, Old Li, why are we destroying the devils? Isn't it to recover our homes and protect our compatriots and fellow villagers?"

"In my opinion, we should put the elimination of the Kawagishi Division second, and the safety of our fellow countrymen's lives and property first."

Zheng Kaixuan nodded.

Li Yunlong also agreed.

Zheng Kaixuan couldn't help but secretly give Zhao Gang a thumbs up.

There is a reason why the brigade commander sent Zhao Gang to be the political commissar of the independent regiment and concurrently the chief of staff of the action group.

Zhao Gang was a very meticulous person. He could indeed think of many issues that Li Yunlong and Zheng Kaixuan would easily overlook.

Coupled with Xing Zhiguo's steady and overall planning vision and strategic command capabilities, the combination of four people is actually a kind of complementary advantages.

"Old Zhao is right. Old Li and I almost overlooked this matter. Now it seems that the Kawagishi Division may have entered the mountains with the intention of not only engaging in guerrilla warfare against us, but also taking hostages. We really must first ensure the safety of the people as much as possible."

As Zheng Kaixuan spoke, he immediately called over the reconnaissance company commander Huang Dafei.

"From now on, the reconnaissance company, while carrying out reconnaissance missions, will also be responsible for warning the people. Wherever the Japanese troops are heading, you will send people there to notify the local people in advance to evacuate or hide."

"If an unexpected situation occurs and civilians are unable to evacuate in time, a small airborne force will be dispatched immediately for rescue. In an emergency, this can be done without asking for permission."

"Yes! Captain."

After receiving the order, Huang Dafei immediately began his busy reconnaissance work.

All sixty drones took off and flew into the wilderness, to the tops of mountains, to the fields, and to the deep forests.

When they discovered that Japanese troops were heading towards a remote inhabited village deep in the mountains, Huang Dafei would immediately send soldiers to airdrop and remind the villagers to evacuate urgently.

In less than an afternoon, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company of the spearhead regiment successfully provided advance warning to the people of dozens of villages, thus preventing countless people from the tragedy of being persecuted by the Japanese devils.

Taking advantage of this time, the other soldiers of the spearhead operation team also had a good rest.

Zheng Kaixuan and Li Yunlong also formulated a battle plan on how to fight this battle.

Zheng Kaixuan believes that the current situation cannot be fought using traditional guerrilla tactics.

They have advanced weapons and troops that can maneuver quickly. They need to combine these advantages with guerrilla tactics to develop a new type of guerrilla mobile warfare.

After the Kawagishi Division was broken up into smaller units, it joined forces with the various Japanese garrisons in the mountains.

On the one hand, they strengthened the defense line of the local Japanese garrison.

This area in southeastern Shanxi is still in the Japanese's cage.

Finally, Zheng Kaixuan put forward the battle plan for this small battle, which can be summarized in twelve words.

First: break the cage.

No matter how tight the defenses arranged by the Kawagishi Division and the local Japanese garrisons are, they must be gradually eliminated one by one to completely crush Yoshio Shinozuka's cage plan.

Second: Create a cage.

It is rude not to reciprocate. After breaking the chains and barriers laid by the Japanese in the mountains of southeastern Shanxi, the spearhead action team will launch a counter-encirclement against the Japanese and trap all of their troops, large and small, in the encirclement.

This is an offensive and defensive alien, and it also allows the devils to experience what it feels like to be locked in a cage.

Third: Defeat them one by one.

Since the Japanese avoided a head-on battle with the spearhead action team and chose this method of combat, Zheng Kaixuan would simply divide and defeat them.

Even a complete Kawaichi Division might not be a match for Zheng Kaixuan, let alone the Japanese troops that have been dispersed and become a pile of loose sand?

The spearhead regiment can fully rely on its strong mobility and concentrated firepower to defeat the Japanese troops one by one.

After determining the basic strategic guidelines, Zheng Kaixuan also began to optimize weapons and equipment.

During this period of time, excluding the epaulettes consumed in battle, Zheng Kaixuan had earned a total of nearly 20,000 epaulettes.

"System, mass-modify and upgrade 20 Hanyang-made fully automatic rifle tanks."

[Ding, congratulations to the host. 13 Hanyang-made level 20 rifle tanks have been upgraded for you.]

It is now very easy to modify the Hanyang light tank.

Even the raw materials for the Hanyang rifles could be obtained through exchange.

To modify 20 level 13 tanks, you only need 260 epaulettes.

However, the level 13 shoulder straps are for lieutenant colonel level, and Zheng Kaixuan has a limited number of them, only a few dozen.

Immediately afterwards, he upgraded and modified 20 level 13 mortar vehicles.

More than 20 epaulettes were still consumed, and another lieutenant colonel epaulettes were consumed.

The biggest expense is upgrading the modified Triumph bulletproof vest and bulletproof helmet.

The bulletproof equipment of the spearhead regiment is basically sufficient, but the bulletproof equipment of the independent regiment is too little.

Zheng Kaixuan took out 5000 sets of ordinary clothes as raw materials and consumed 500 ordinary epaulettes, and only then did he magically transform them into sets of level bulletproof vests.

Then, he took out 500 ordinary helmets captured from the Japanese, and consumed 5000 epaulettes again, and modified them into 500 sets of level bulletproof helmets.

All of these were equipped on the soldiers under Li Yunlong.

Together with the previous 200 sets of protective equipment, the number of protective equipment of Li Yunlong's independent regiment has reached 700 sets.

The independent regiment has more than a thousand people, and about half of them have basically been equipped and can fully cope with the next operation.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Kaixuan took out the most important treasure in his hand.

One major general's shoulder strap and three colonel's shoulder straps!
