Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 133 My opinion is, don’t play imaginary

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone is here, a total of six villages, more than a hundred militiamen, and more than thirty comrades of the New Regiment. In terms of weapons, this time there are two light machine guns, a grenade launcher, and plenty of bullets. I can’t even count them!”

Militiamen from several villages gathered together, and everyone's faces were filled with joy. These militiamen have never fought such a rich war.

Although they say they are wealthy, in fact, this time the soldiers of the new regiment only allocated half of the ammunition they carried during the battle to the militia. In the words of the group leader, this is not a fight for prosperity at all, but a return to hard times.

"Okay, let's discuss the action plan. Our goal this time is to scare off the enemy and make them believe that the main force of our Eighth Route Army is passing by here. Everyone, take out all the firecrackers you have saved and prepare some more tin buckets. At least There have to be six or seven, six or seven machine guns should be enough to fool the little devils." A militia captain suggested.

Setting off firecrackers in tin buckets, detonating bombs to make grenades, and beating gongs and drums to build momentum are all common methods. The militiamen are familiar with this trick, so naturally these are the first things they think of.

As for the real guy in his hand, it depends on whether the Japanese will be fooled.

"Platoon Commander Li, what do you think?"

A group of militiamen set their sights on the platoon leader who came from the new regiment.

In just a short period of getting along, the militiamen learned a lot of skills from the veterans of the new regiment. In addition, the soldiers of the new regiment are indeed the strongest combat force in the militia. They are the main force and have rich combat experience, so the opinion of Platoon Leader Li is also very important.

"Let me see?" Platoon Leader Li laughed and patted the gun case on his waist with his right hand: "If I see it, there is no need to scare off the enemy tonight. Let's just do it for real."

"Ah?" All the militiamen were stunned.

Platoon Leader Li suddenly stood up: "Comrades, I can understand your caution. You don't have enough weapons and equipment, you haven't received formal training, and you have to take care of the folks in each village. Being cautious is right and a good thing." . But the situation is different now. Our strength has been greatly improved, but the strength of the Japanese has decreased."

"How many Japs are there in the village now? A dozen, and the remaining more than [-] are puppet troops. Moreover, the training of this puppet army is extremely poor. Today there was even a landmine exploding and the other side was in chaos." Li The platoon leader said, looking behind him: "Daxi, I said that when the booby trap goes off, a platoon of puppet soldiers will not obey the command and run around. Is it true?"

Li Daxi held the gun and stood up immediately: "It's true. The squad leader and I were watching. Those guys forgot everything when the mines went off and just wanted to escape."

"Okay." Platoon Leader Li waved his hand and motioned for Li Daxi to sit down: "The enemy's strength has been reduced for one reason. Our strength has also been greatly enhanced."

"From the perspective of weapons and equipment, this time we have two machine guns and a grenade launcher, which does not seem to be much stronger than this enemy. But in fact, we also have two rifle grenade launchers and dozens of rifle grenades, each There is also a twenty-gun in my class, plus three automatic firearms in my hand. It is night now, and the fight will definitely be a close-range firefight, and the twenty-gun will not be much weaker than a machine gun. In other words, we It has an advantage in terms of firepower.”

There is nothing wrong with this. One detachment of Japanese soldiers had one machine gun and one grenade launcher, while the total number of puppet troops in that company only had two machine guns. Compared with the pseudo-guards who use Japanese weapons, the pseudo-security forces are really stepchildren, and their equipment is much worse. "In terms of personnel, we have more than a hundred people. Especially the soldiers of the new regiment have improved their food and have no symptoms of night blindness at all. They have been fed a lot of bullets during this period, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than before. It’s not a bad idea to have a one-on-one relationship with a Japanese.”

"So, if you ask me for my opinion, my opinion is not to play tricks with the enemy, but directly arrange for the soldiers to conduct a night attack. Let's take the lead. Even if we cannot severely damage this enemy group, it is not difficult to repel them. As for In terms of casualties, you don’t have to worry, the soldiers of the new regiment will take the main attack, and you can just assist from the side.”

After Platoon Leader Li finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of the people around him. Most of the militiamen were lowering their heads in thought, reconsidering the strength comparison between the two sides; while the new group of soldiers, even the newly joined recruit Li Daxi, had eyes shining brightly.

There is nothing that can be done about it. The militiamen are used to living a hard life, and the Japanese have a strong image in their hearts. Although everyone dares to trick the Japanese, cheat, and conduct sneak attacks, we can occasionally achieve some results. But when it comes to head-on confrontation, I still subconsciously think that I can't beat it. Moreover, they have not been in contact with the New Regiment for too long. They only know that the New Regiment is the richest regiment in the army, but they do not know to what extent the combat effectiveness of the New Regiment has been enhanced due to this wealth.

"Platoon Leader Li, I trust you. Since you think you can fight, I am willing to cooperate. Tell me, what do you want us to do?" The militiamen quickly agreed. A militia captain stood up directly and expressed his attitude.

"Okay!" Platoon Leader Li laughed: "Since everyone agrees with me, let me tell you my plan."

"Military comrades often use firecrackers to disguise machine gun fire, and they will use this trick this time, but the purpose is no longer to scare away the enemy, but to attract the enemy's attention, create opportunities for the attacking troops, and also put pressure on the enemy. .”

"The comrades of the New Regiment have high combat quality, so they will be responsible for the main offensive mission of this battle. We will launch an attack on the village from the south, quickly eliminate the enemy's resistance, and conduct a short-distance pursuit of possible fleeing enemies. .”

"After we retake the village, the militia comrades must follow up quickly. Comrades who can use guns will guard the passages of the village and the corners of the houses. Do not rush into the house to search for remaining enemies to avoid unnecessary casualties. Wait until we come back. Make plans.”

Soon, Platoon Leader Li explained his attack plan clearly, and everyone around him nodded. Platoon leader Li is worthy of being a member of the main force. He has rich experience and has come up with a relatively complete plan in such a short period of time.

However, one militiaman still put forward a different opinion: "What if the attack is frustrated and the enemy stabilizes their position and attacks us to counterattack?"

Platoon Leader Li smiled: "Then we will fire a flare. When the flare rises, the militia comrades will retreat quickly. We will hold the enemy back and cover you."

Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. If you fight too many battles, you will inevitably suffer some losses. Therefore, when formulating battle plans, the Eighth Route Army often prepares remedial measures that can be used if the battle fails, and this time is no exception.

"If everyone has no objections, let's discuss possible unexpected situations. This is just a rough plan, and there is still room for improvement..."
