Kong Jie and Zhao Gang arrived at the place. The third battalion commander Wang Huaibao chose a hidden and relatively narrow section of the road. The two sides were relatively gentle, and there was no slope beyond the concrete bunker.
As soon as they arrived at the place, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang began to comment on the bunkers built by the Third Battalion, from the construction of the bunkers themselves to the selection of the surrounding terrain.
"There is nothing to say about the construction of the bunker fortifications. They are well constructed. The machine gun fortifications are alternately covered and crisscrossed to ensure that the Japanese walking on the road cannot find any blind spots to hide. There are three or five machine gun fortifications on this section of the road. Basically,
You can completely block the road. No matter how many Japs come, as long as you have enough ammunition, no Japs can even think of taking a step beyond the boundaries."
"As for building concrete bunkers in relatively mining-friendly highway areas, that's a bit interesting. Lao Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Gang thought for a while and replied: "There are advantages in open areas for bunker fortifications."
"The wide field of view is conducive to the direct firepower of our machine gun fortifications. Once the battle begins, we have concrete bunkers as defense, while the Japanese and puppet reinforcements are in this open area and cannot even find bunkers. It is completely
In a passive situation."
"Secondly, the bunker was not built on a highway section with slopes on both sides. I think the third battalion commander had his own considerations. He was worried that the Japanese army would detour from the slopes on both sides in such a terrain.
Attack the bunker fortifications from a high position. The bunker fortifications are located on a slope and the terrain is low, making it difficult to launch an attack."
Kong Jie said: "Yes, arranging bunker fortifications on open roads does have these benefits, but on the battlefield, not only the forms are changing rapidly, but the tactics are also ever-changing."
"If the bunker fortifications are built in a relatively narrow sloping area, the scope of the Japanese and puppet troops' attack will be relatively limited. In a limited area, the firepower of the third battalion can be maximized. It is a bit like one man can block the barrier and ten thousand men can't open it.
I mean, no matter how many Japs come, they can only squeeze into this narrow section of highway and be shot at."
"As for the slopes on both sides, the Third Battalion can set up an ambush in advance. As long as it is arranged properly, it can not only repel the Japanese who try to bypass the two sides, but also assist in the bunker fortifications and launch an attack on the Japanese troops down the road section from a high position."<
/p>
Zhao Gang nodded in agreement, "The two options have pros and cons for each other. It depends on the execution ability of the third battalion after the war begins, and what will happen specifically."
Kong Jie said: "Yes, in terms of established tactics, once the war starts, you can be flexible and adjust at any time. That is the key to being invincible."
While talking, the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao learned that the regiment commander and political commissar were coming to watch the battle in person, so he rushed to the place and saluted the two men: "Regiment commander, political commissar, why are you here?"
Kong Jie said: "Come and watch how you command this annihilation battle, Commander Third Battalion. The political commissar and I were discussing just now why you chose to build the bunker fortifications in the open section of the road!"
Wang Huaibao replied: "Report to the leader, I built the fortifications in an open area because..."
"Why, let's talk about it after the battle is over. You just need to remember that you are the commander of the third battalion in this battle. The political commissar and I are here to watch the battle. Don't worry about us."
"Yes!" Wang Huaibao responded, "Regiment leader, political commissar, I will make arrangements first!"
"Go!"
"Yes!"
Wang Huaibao responded, turned and left.
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Old Kong, you didn't let the third battalion commander continue to explain just now, were you afraid that we would come to watch the battle and interfere with his combat command?"
Kong Jie said: "Yes, the third battalion commander is a real person. I'm afraid that we will make him lose his confidence in command again. This is not a good thing for the commander."
"My original intention was that we came here to watch the battle to cheer up the soldiers of the Third Battalion, but we couldn't have any negative effects."
While I was talking, I heard a voice not far away.
The commander of the third battalion is giving instructions to the soldiers of the third battalion:
"Comrades, do you know what the regimental commander said when we held the previous combat meeting? The regimental commander said that this time is not a reinforcement operation, but a war of annihilation. We must annihilate the invading Japanese and puppet troops. This is our mission this time.
Victory in battle."
"In addition, the regiment leader also said that after this battle, no matter how much supplies and equipment are seized, it will be considered as each battalion's own."
"What do you mean? Our third battalion fought in the past and captured something. Because the regiment lacked ammunition, the regiment commander needed a main battalion to fight, so our third battalion sent equipment to the first battalion, let alone
Everyone is feeling depressed, and I feel bad too.”
"But now the situation in our regiment has improved. The first and second battalions are almost exhausted. Plus the regiment leader has said that what we capture is ours."
Wang Huaibao spoke for a moment, then raised his voice and said:
"What does this mean? This means that our third battalion has an opportunity to turn around. I am still not convinced. Our independent regiment has three battalions. Although we are the third battalion, why can't we be the main battalion? Why can the main battalion be the main battalion?
Must it be the first and second battalions? In today’s battle, we will prove to all the soldiers in the regiment that our third battalion can also be the main battalion!"
"You saw the regiment leader and political commissar as they came over. This is the best opportunity for our third battalion to prove ourselves."
"Brothers, let me ask you, is there such a thing that we can become the main force camp?"
"Yes, there is—"
The soldiers of the third battalion shouted in unison.
Not far away, Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Old Kong, maybe you have misunderstood. These three battalion commanders are also bloody men, and they are not bad at language skills. Look, with just a few words, they can mobilize the morale of the soldiers.
”
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Honest people also have tempers!"
……
Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Zhao Gang agreed on the time to attack the Yangquan stronghold before dawn and close to dawn.
That is to say, in a few hours, it will be almost dawn.
This timing is very important.
When attacking a large stronghold, Li Yunlong's troops can use the cover of night to launch a sudden attack.
The little devil was caught off guard, and the battle between the two sides began.
This opportunity to take the lead in a sneak attack was taken advantage of.
Then the battle didn't last long, and it was dawn.
The field of vision immediately brightened, and the hidden firepower and defensive arrangements in the Japanese stronghold were clear at a glance, which was more suitable for Li Yunlong to lead the troops to launch the final attack.
Even cleaning the battlefield after the battle will be much more convenient when the sky gets brighter.
The same principle applies to the three teams that Kong Jie is responsible for supporting.
Anyway, the three battalions have concrete bunkers as defenses. They are not afraid of the bright view. On the contrary, after dawn, the firepower can be vented towards the Japanese in a more targeted manner, and the Japanese are more passive.
The time of year is around October, and the sun rises later.
According to the pattern of brightening the sky these days, Kong Jie estimated that it would be bright around six o'clock.
The time when Li Yunlong launched his attack on the Yangquan stronghold was around 4:50.
According to Li Yunlong's pre-planned tactics for attacking this large stronghold, when the three reinforcements were blocked by Kong Jie, he had plenty of time to attack the stronghold.
In addition, the weapons configuration of the Fourth Battalion has been strengthened to a considerable extent during this period. For Li Yunlong, this is a tough battle without any worries.
How to fight?
If we say that before seeing Wang Chengzhu and the artillery battery, Lao Li's brows were as wrinkled as a river.
After seeing Wang Chengzhu and the artillery company, plus the two infantry guns brought by the artillery company, and ten huge projectiles.
Li Yunlong's old face immediately smiled like a blooming bitter chrysanthemum.
He also spoke forcefully:
"We don't have to worry about the reinforcements this time. With Lao Kong on our side, nothing will go wrong. As for this critical battle, there is nothing fancy. I only have two requirements, one is to be fast and the other is to be ruthless."
"It should be so cruel that it makes the little devils tremble with fear and even pee, and it should be so fast that the devils and puppet troops have no time to destroy the supplies and equipment in the stronghold."
"If I lay down a stronghold and end up with no supplies or equipment, this is a loss-making business and I will definitely not do it!"
