Chapter 1042 Practicing Tough Attack Ability
After Yao Pengju set off, Zhao Zhiguo ordered Gao Cang to be ready to respond at any time.
As soon as the equipment entered their defense zone, they immediately mobilized the surrounding people as quickly as possible to hide the equipment on the spot to prevent the Japanese army from seeing through it and coming to bomb.
After arranging all this, Zhao Zhiguo went to the mountain pass in the northern part of Wangwang County.
Zhao Ziming and Qin Dongsheng had already arrived with their troops, and they even sent troops to harass the stationed Japanese troops.
"Captain, this is what we have detected in the past few days!"
Qin Dongsheng took out a map, on which the firepower points owned by the Japanese army were marked.
"According to the firepower configuration of the Japanese army, these firepower points are far from enough." Zhao Zhiguo glanced at the map and was able to judge how many firepower points the Japanese army had deployed.
They already knew the disposition of Japanese troops well.
Based on the firepower configuration of the Japanese army, it can be roughly calculated how many firepower points the Japanese army can deploy on the position.
"Commander, unless we can touch the Japanese positions!" Qin Dongsheng said.
If they want to detect the Japanese firepower points, their troops must either launch a real strong attack, or they can go to the position and see with their own eyes.
A strong attack may cause heavy losses to the troops.
But if they don't find all the Japanese firepower points, it seems unrealistic for them to capture the Japanese positions through a night attack.
"I'll arrange for two people to go with me to the other two mountain passes tomorrow!"
Zhao Zhiguo believed that this was not the most suitable place to attack.
The other two wounds were on a flatter terrain, but the Japanese army also deployed heavy troops.
Although this place is dangerous, the Japanese army only has the strength of one brigade, and of this brigade, only one squadron is deployed on the frontal position, and the remaining troops are in strongholds outside the mountain pass.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Japanese troops in the stronghold were able to rush to the battlefield to support them within five minutes.
No matter how powerful Zhao Zhiguo's troops were, they could not wipe out all the Japanese troops on the position within five minutes.
In just one day, Zhao Zhiguo became familiar with the terrain of the mountain pass ambush again.
These terrains are already memorized, but Zhao Zhiguo wants to ensure that he can make zero mistakes.
"It would be great if we could encounter heavy snow days!" Zhao Zhiguo thought to himself.
After a heavy snowfall, the northwest wind blew again.
With the temper of the little devils, they were not willing to be exposed in the position, and they would definitely be huddled somewhere in the position to avoid the biting cold wind.
After quietly killing the Japanese sentries, their troops could continuously flow towards the Japanese positions.
Qin Dongsheng looked at Zhao Zhiguo: "Commander, we can't rely entirely on God when fighting, right?"
God, if it never snows, they can't give up their attack on the Japanese army.
Zhao Zhiguo looked at the clear sky and there was no wind at all. How could it snow?
Moreover, there is no weather forecast in this era, and no one can predict when it will snow.
Zhao Zhiguo bit his lip and frowned. This time he really gave himself a huge problem.
"The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! As long as we clearly detect the firepower deployment of the Japanese position and attack several times, we will definitely be able to capture the Japanese position," Qin Dongsheng said.
They have rocket launchers and grenade launchers, which have been of great help to their offense.
"What should we do if we attack by force and wipe out all the troops? Then the Japanese army will assemble a large force and seize the position again?"
The Japanese army had far more troops than they did. Even if they lost one brigade, they still had enough troops to regain their position.
And Zhao Zhiguo and the others lost a battalion, so they no longer had the confidence to continue the attack.
"In this attack, we cannot engage in a war of attrition with the Japanese army. The Japs can afford it, but we cannot afford it." Zhao Zhiguo reminded Qin Dongsheng.
They had to win the position at the minimum cost so that the Japanese army felt that Zhao Zhiguo could easily kill them.
Only in this way will the Japanese army not expend more energy to defend the mountain pass.
If the Japanese army felt that Zhao Zhiguo and the others had gone to great lengths to capture the position, the Japs would definitely gather their forces and launch a forceful attack.
They were able to block one or two Japanese attacks, but they would lose a lot of troops under the attack of Japanese planes and heavy artillery.
"If it doesn't work, let's just stick to this winter. The Japanese army will definitely not waste too many troops on our side." Zhao Ziming suggested.
The little devils are deploying troops southward and stationing 10,000 Japanese troops in this remote mountainous area. This is obviously a waste of troops.
If Zhao Zhiguo and the others ignore these little Japs for a long time, the Japs will surely slowly redeploy their troops and send them to other directions.
"No! We must fight these little devils!" Zhao Zhiguo shook his head, "If we can't get over this hurdle, we want to take Pingcheng, it's just a daydream!"
Sooner or later, the army will face a tough battle.
If they want to capture Pingcheng, they must have a head-on confrontation with the Japanese troops in Pingcheng.
This attack on the Japanese army should be regarded as accumulating experience in advance for our troops.
"Brother, Lao Qin, you two, each of you is responsible for one mountain pass. Free up this dangerous place and treat it as if nothing has ever existed here. Starting from tomorrow, launch an attack on the other two mountain passes!"
Zhao Zhiguo issued new combat orders to the Second and Third Battalions, but he did not require the two battalions to capture any positions, nor did he require them to eliminate how many Japanese troops.
"In short, the purpose is to avoid casualties as much as possible, and to annoy the little devil!"
Since we need to train troops, actual combat is the best way to train troops.
"Captain, how long do we have to wait before we can launch a real attack?"
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Once we have trained the troops, we will find a night with biting cold wind to get into position."
In fact, Zhao Zhiguo believed that the most practical method was to sneak into the Japanese positions quietly.
However, when they carried out night attacks, Zhao Zhiguo did not mind using the little devils to practice their troops' ability to attack difficult problems.
When they attack Pingcheng one day in the future, the soldiers will be able to avoid a large number of casualties if they have experience in fighting tough battles.
In fact, the Japanese army did not expect that after struggling for so long, they still failed to complete their plan.
Although they only achieved the construction of a stronghold near the mountain pass, it was a good progress for the Japanese army. At least Zhao Zhiguo's troops were blocked outside Wangxian County.
The sparse population and low food production in the mountainous area meant that Zhao Zhiguo could not afford to support many troops.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Zhiguo asked the arsenal to speed up the modification of flying thunder cannons and the production of rocket launchers.
The workers also work in three shifts, working around the clock.
Moreover, the experimental data of the rocket launcher has also come out. Within two hundred meters, only two shells can penetrate a one and a half meter thick green brick wall.
