The calls for a main battle within the Jinsui Army are getting louder and louder, and almost everyone believes that as long as they take action, the Japs will definitely be repulsed.

However, the division commanders who had actually fought against the Japanese army remained silent. They knew the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army better than anyone else. Of course, the Japanese army was not invincible. But since they wanted to start a battle, they had to bear the consequences.

Even if the battle is won, it is easy to say that they can force the Japanese army to retreat. If the battle is lost, can they take back the Pingcheng they worked so hard to defend? The Hutong area may fall into the hands of the Japanese army at any time.

Inspired by the war-fighting officers, the commander-in-chief also decided to use military means to protect his so-called face.

Chu Jie and other division commanders who advocated slowing down the advance of troops were reprimanded many times by the commander-in-chief in the conference room, saying that they were frightened by the little devils and their legs weakened when they saw the little devils.

The news about the Commander-in-Chief's main battle also reached Wang County, and Zhao Zhiguo did not expect that the peace he longed for would only last for more than three months.

"Commander, I heard that the commander-in-chief will send five divisions to attack the Japanese army this time!"

The Shanxi-Sui Army has only six regular main forces. Excluding the units that were merged with farmers, the strength of the five main divisions already accounts for half of the Shanxi-Sui Army's regular forces.

Zhao Zhiguo looked solemn. Although there was no specific order yet, Zhao Zhiguo had already heard some news.

"Captain, do you think we can win this battle?" Qin Dongsheng asked.

The veterans under Zhao Zhiguo have never been afraid of fighting, they are afraid of losing the battle. If they win the battle and they die in battle, they regain the lost land or defend their homeland. They think they are still meaningful. But if they die in the battle, the land will also be lost.

After losing it, they still have to apologize to the little devil. How can they rest in peace under such circumstances?

"There is no combat target at the moment. How do I know whether I will win the battle? If the commander-in-chief orders an advance of 20 kilometers towards the Japanese army, I don't think there is a big problem. If the commander-in-chief is greedy and determined to regain all the lost ground, then I am afraid it will be.

It’s just wishful thinking, whether we can win or not depends on what our combat goal is.”

"I'm worried that our commander-in-chief can't hold back his anger. He took advantage at first and thought that the Japs were no match for him. Then he tried to be greedier and finally underestimated the enemy and rushed in!" Gao Cang said.

Zhao Zhiguo silently agreed with Gao Cang's idea. What they were most afraid of was the first attack. They took some advantage, and then they didn't take the little devils seriously. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, let alone face them.

The right ones were the Japanese troops, who had better equipment than they did.

"We can't control so much anymore. Regardless of whether our division has combat missions or not, you must be ready for battle. If this battle breaks out, there will be too many uncontrollable factors."

Zhao Zhiguo naturally hopes that his side can win the battle. This will not only make their commander-in-chief gain honor and face, but also conform to China's national interests.

Gao Cang and Qin Dongsheng nodded. They also wanted to continue to live this peaceful life with only training, but they also knew that the country was on the verge of war at any time, and the ultimate purpose of training was to fight. But they did not expect that this day would come like this.

quick.

"Don't be too disappointed, you two. After all, there is no accurate news yet. Maybe the commander-in-chief dislikes that our troops are all new recruits and asked us to stand by."

Although the troops have been trained for more than three months, in Zhao Zhiguo's eyes, it is still far from enough. It is really a bad idea to put a troop that has just completed basic training into the battlefield to go head-to-head with elite troops like the Japanese army!

That night, Yao Pengju led his troops back to their base. After learning about the results of their battle, Zhao Zhiguo was also happy for them.

Nowadays, the special forces are becoming more and more skilled in using tactics. As long as they can get the Japanese army's password for that day, the soldiers of the special forces can successfully sneak into the Japanese army.

"Yao Pengju, how is the current situation of the Japanese army's material reserves?"

Compared with how many weapons the special forces have seized, Zhao Zhiguo is more concerned about the Japanese army's current logistical material preparations and whether they are enough to launch a large-scale attack.

"I don't know about other places, but the Japanese arsenal we attacked this time is full of supplies, including tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery. That arsenal is enough to sustain a regiment of Japanese troops for seven days of fighting."

The Japanese army has never worried about soldiers, because they have trained a large number of soldiers in the rear, and the losses of troops in each battle are not large, and the troops can be transported from the rear to the front at any time.

The most lacking material for the Japanese on the front line was artillery shells. Considering the characteristics of the Chinese army's equipment, the Japanese army did not rely much on the air force and armored forces, but it relied more on artillery, and the Japanese army paid special attention to the combination of infantry and artillery.

The road conditions in China today are very worrying. Even the official roads are bumpy. A rainfall can make the roads muddy at any time. The Japanese army relies most on trucks for transportation. It is difficult to transport artillery shells on such bumpy roads.

A kind of technical work, if there is a heavy rain, the Japanese army's truck will get stuck in the muddy road at any time.

Therefore, before launching a large-scale battle, the Japanese army must try its best to transport the required ammunition to the front line.

"It seems that the Japanese army has made preparations. No wonder they have been uneasy and ready to take action recently!"

"Captain, what happened?" Yao Pengju still didn't know what happened in Pingcheng.

"Recently we may have to go to war with the Japs again." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"It's good to start the war. This time we blew up the little devil's arsenal. Even if the little devil works overtime, it will take at least three or four days to replenish the combat supplies needed by a regiment."

"It's not that simple. We take the initiative to attack, and the Japs passively defend. In a defensive battle, the Japs don't need heavy artillery."

Defensive warfare has relatively low requirements for weapons. It can be defended with or without artillery. However, offensive warfare is different. The enemy is hiding in a solid fortification, and it is not possible to rely solely on soldiers to blast it with explosive bags.

As long as the attack cannot be taken for a long time, the attacking troops will consume more and more supplies and have insufficient ammunition supplies, which will easily lead to a confrontation. At this time, the enemy will counterattack against them.

"It seems that I am suitable for leading a special force to fight, but not suitable for leading troops to launch large-scale offensive wars." Yao Pengju said.

"Your abilities are second to none in our regiment, and the tactics you use will not be available in future operations. That kind of large-scale regiment operations may disappear." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Captain, please praise me more, I love hearing these words!" Yao Pengju said with a smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
