Since a sneak attack fails, let's just attack by force.
Anyway, the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp only has the strength of two squads.
Although there are barbed wire fences and high walls, are these problems in the face of artillery shells?
Obviously not!
"Call Wang Chengzhu, commander of the artillery company, over here!"
Fang Yu gave the order directly.
Soon, Wang Chengzhu rushed over.
"Commander, what do you want from me?"
Wang Chengzhu panted.
These days, I am busy recruiting soldiers, and I am also busy figuring out the performance of those Skoda 105mm caliber howitzers. After I have learned it, I have to teach the new recruits.
Going back and forth, everyone is busy with these things.
To say that I was extremely busy would be an understatement.
"Has the current artillery company achieved combat effectiveness?"
"Now let the Skoda 105 howitzer carry out long-range fire suppression. Are you confident?"
Fang Yu said straightforwardly.
"ah?"
"Are we going to fight again?"
"Commander, where to fight?"
"Are we going to attack Ping'an County?"
Artillery company commander Wang Chengzhu said subconsciously.
Fang Yu: "..."
"You're a little arrogant now."
"I just set up an artillery company for you, and you dare to attack Ping'an County?"
"If I set up an artillery battalion for you later, would you dare to attack even the provincial capital?"
Fang Yu glared at Wang Chengzhu and said angrily.
"Just going to a prisoner of war camp with tighter security..."
"This is right here, Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp..."
"It's only about fifty miles away from us."
"I'm thinking of letting your artillery company take action first to blow away the gate of the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp, the surrounding city walls, and the surrounding Japanese bunkers."
"In this case, we can clear the way for us to capture the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp to the greatest extent."
Fang Yu briefly introduced the specific situation to Wang Chengzhu.
Wang Chengzhu didn't say much, but kept his attention focused on it.
"There's nothing wrong with this..."
"only……"
Wang Chengzhu hesitated slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there anything difficult about it?"
Fang Yu asked.
"Just attacking a prisoner of war camp and dispatching 105mm heavy artillery is really too luxurious!"
"Commander, if the leader of the regiment knows that you are so extravagant, he will definitely say that you are a wealthy landlord."
Wang Chengzhu shrugged and then said helplessly from the side.
"You kid, you're still teasing me!"
"This time, I mainly want your artillery company to come over and practice."
"Don't bring all the three 105mm howitzers that the artillery company is currently equipped with. Just bring one over."
"After all, the artillery company has not been expanded for a long time, and most of them are new recruits..."
"Just bring a howitzer to blast open the gate of Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp."
"In addition, I plan to bring the tank squad here this time to let them experience the battlefield and gain experience on the battlefield..."
"This tank squad has been training for a while..."
"It's a mule and a horse, it's time to take it out for a walk!"
"Delaying for too long is not a good thing!"
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking slightly excited at the moment.
It was Fang Yu's impromptu idea to let the tank squad join the attack on the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp.
Since there’s going to be a war, let’s have a good fight!
The next day, the entire army assembled for pre-war mobilization.
Bring all the troops you are about to take out.
"Commander!"
"The cavalry company applies to fight!"
"Commander! Even the tank squad and artillery company are on board! Why can't our cavalry company go!"
"Commander! Our cavalry company is not a coward!"
Li Cong, commander of the cavalry company, with a red face, asked for a fight.
The atmosphere is actually very good.
Soldiers dare to risk their lives, and officers are not afraid of death!
This is the most critical quality of an army!
Fang Yu glanced around and then patted the cavalry company commander Li Cong on the shoulder.
"This time we are going to siege the city, not fight on the plains!"
"Your cavalry battalion will have many opportunities to fight in the future!"
"Give me good training in riding and shooting!"
"I'm back to test your fighting ability!"
After Fang Yu finished speaking, he turned and left.
In this battle, an infantry battalion and a company, an artillery company and a platoon, a machine gun company's light machine gun platoon, a tank squad, and the Wolf Sword Special Forces team were involved in a joint operation!
Because of the use of tanks, we can only take the main road.
But don't think that the tank's marching speed is very slow.
Under good road conditions, the tank's ultimate speed can even reach hundreds of kilometers per hour.
When the road conditions are normal, there is no problem in traveling 20 kilometers in one hour.
Heiyun Village is only fifty miles away from the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp, almost 25 kilometers, and the tank march took more than an hour to arrive...
This tank actually marches much faster than the infantry!
Tank squad leader Xie Dahai serves as the commander of this 38t light tank and is responsible for overall command of the battle!
In the tank, in addition to the commander, there is a driver who is responsible for firing the front machine gun.
The gunner, in addition to being responsible for the bombardment of the 37mm cannon on the tank, is also responsible for the strafing of the parallel machine gun.
There is also a loader who is responsible for supplying shells to the 37mm cannon and bullets to the two loaded machine guns.
Tank takes action, one can defeat two.
In this case, after arriving at Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp, we will not be able to carry out covert attacks, but can only carry out direct bombardment from the front.
"The first platoon of the artillery company and the tank squad are here mainly to run the team and hone their combat skills. There is an unlimited supply of artillery shells!"
"But prepare it well for labor and management!"
"Wang Chengzhu, this is still one kilometer away from the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp. You can set up the Skoda 105mm howitzer here."
"After the erection is completed, directly bombard the walls and fortresses of the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp."
"At the same time, Xie Dahai, you lead the 38t light tank and march directly towards the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp!"
"Similarly, don't save shells and bullets for labor and capital!"
"Tank guns, fire at will!"
"The two machine guns on the tank fired indiscriminately!"
"All the infantry battalion and one company! All the Wolf Sword Special Forces! All the light machine gun platoon! Follow the tanks, use the tanks as cover, and shoot the Japanese in the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp indiscriminately!"
Fang Yu gave the order, and each unit... began to prepare.
This time, almost two companies of about 250 troops were invested.
What needs to be dealt with are two teams of about 110 Japanese soldiers in the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp, and a company of about 120 puppet troops.
The ratio of troops is almost one to one.
The enemy Fang Yu, Fang Yu's troops attack.
The strength of the troops is similar, but the equipment...is very different!
