Chapter 573: Continue to attack, or withdraw troops?
With the current firepower of the new regiment, positional warfare and defensive warfare, the little devil's cavalry did not dare to attack.
This is also true. The battle has been going on for half a month, and the Japanese cavalry has not yet appeared on the battlefield, and has always been in a dormant state.
If the Japanese cavalry came to charge the new regiment's position, they would only become a bunch of living targets.
The new group of semi-automatic rifles, light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns will definitely let the devils know what firepower is king.
Faced with Zhao Gang's question, Li Yunlong asked: "Old Zhao, do you still remember the battle plan we discussed when our new regiment fought against the Black Island Cavalry Regiment?"
Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Of course I remember that at that time we only had one cavalry company, and we borrowed the cavalry companies from the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment to lead the Black Island Cavalry Regiment to Yelangyu, and then concentrated more than a hundred machine guns to eliminate them.
The main force of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Gang suddenly reacted and asked: "Old Li, you mean to use the same tactics, let the cavalry battalion lead the Japanese cavalry to our ambush location, and then concentrate superior firepower to eliminate the 10th Division
The main force of the cavalry regiment?"
"Humph!" Li Yunlong laughed, "You were only half right. You were right to concentrate your superior firepower, but you didn't lead the Japanese cavalry battalion to the ambush site."
"Leaving aside whether there is such a terrain, the Japanese cavalry regiment may not be fooled."
The surrounding terrain is mostly mountainous, and the Japanese cavalry regiment does not pose a great threat to the main force of the New Regiment. The current New Regiment's firepower is very powerful.
The main reason is that this time the new regiment will retreat with the people in the jurisdiction.
As for the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the jurisdiction, the new regiment of more than 20,000 people will definitely not be able to take care of them, so they can only rely on the militia to protect the ordinary people.
Although the militiamen of the new regiment have good combat effectiveness, they cannot be the opponent of the Japanese cavalry.
The Japanese cavalry regiment only needs to delay and harass the people on the main roads and alleys, and they can cause great losses to the people and militiamen.
Therefore, before starting the transfer, the cavalry regiment of the 10th Division must be eliminated first, which is the 10th Cavalry Regiment.
Even if they cannot completely annihilate them, they must at least eliminate the main force of the 10th Cavalry Regiment.
Zhao Gang looked thoughtful, and then asked: "If this is not the way to fight, then how are you going to fight?"
He really couldn't figure out what method Li Yunlong had in mind to severely damage or completely annihilate the Japanese 10th Cavalry Regiment?
Commander Li's tactical thinking is a little out of the ordinary, which is what Deputy Brigadier Han often calls creative thinking. He often comes up with some weird ideas that others can't think of. Not to mention the enemy, even the people around him often can't guess what he's thinking.
After arriving in northwest Shanxi, Boss Chen gave Li Yunlong some military theory books.
The current Commander Li, in terms of strategic layout, strategic vision, and tactical command ability, is even better than the Li Yunlong who studied in the Nanjing Military Academy and became the army commander in the original drama.
"hey-hey…"
With a standard Li Yunlong smile, Li Yunlong asked: "If our cavalry battalion has a submachine gun, will the little devil's cavalry regiment still have the advantage?"
Chen Feng, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou on the side all showed expressions of sudden realization.
Many cavalry units are actually infantry who fight on horseback. When marching, they mount their horses and when fighting, they dismount and fight like infantry. Therefore, there is no need to train horsemanship in daily training.
This was the combat philosophy when the Japs Cavalry was formed.
However, in actual training and combat, these Japanese cavalry were poisoned by the Bushido spirit and regarded themselves as real cavalry.
Even the Japanese cavalry were ashamed to dismount and fight on foot.
However, Li Yunlong doesn't care about the lancers or light cavalry. A good cavalry is a cavalry that can win battles.
Xing Zhiguo asked: "Captain, you mean that when our cavalry and the Japanese cavalry were fighting each other, they suddenly took out their submachine guns?"
"That's right!"
Li Yunlong glanced at Xing Zhiguo approvingly and said: "Back in Cangyunling, do you know how our new regiment severely damaged the Bantian Alliance and killed the captain of the Bantian Alliance?"
Zhao Gang and Chen Feng knew about it, and Wang Dehou, as a staff officer at the headquarters, had also seen the battle report of the new regiment.
But Xing Zhiguo didn't know. He only knew that it happened and that the battle was the battle where Li Yunlong and the New Regiment became famous. He didn't know the specific details of the battle.
Li Yunlong glanced at Chen Feng and continued: "It's very simple. Boss Chen gave me 100 submachine guns and a deposit for an Italian cannon. After the deal was completed, he also sent me 0 tons of ammunition. He wanted Sakata's head by name.
During the battle, I pretended to let the soldiers rush up and fight the Japanese hand-to-hand. The little Japanese was so happy that he jumped out of the trench with a bayonet and fought us hand-to-hand. I used 100 submachine guns and more than 0 light machine guns.
, broke into a large brigade of Gou Ri within a few minutes. If our cavalry each had a submachine gun, that would be 600 submachine guns. Wouldn’t they be able to defeat a Japanese cavalry regiment?”
When encountering people on a narrow road, the brave prevails. This is a slogan shouted by Li Yunlong to boost morale. It represents a spirit of courage to move forward and to regard death as home.
It doesn't mean that you have to fight with the Japanese with bayonets.
Isn't it more comfortable to have submachine guns and machine guns to rush at the Japs than to eliminate the Japs in hand-to-hand combat? It can also greatly reduce the casualties of our own soldiers.
"This time, we will also use this trick against the Japanese Cavalry Regiment!"
Li Yunlong glanced at everyone, and this time he was ready to kill the Japanese cavalry.
The 10th Cavalry Regiment has more than 1,300 men, while the 1st Cavalry Battalion of the new regiment has only nearly 600 men, not even 600 men.
Half of them are new recruits who have just joined the 1st Cavalry Battalion, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the cavalry battalion at its peak. I am afraid they cannot defeat the Japanese Cavalry Regiment with just the Yunlong Sword and Carbines.
Compared with the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, the cavalry regiment of the 10th Division is only stronger in combat effectiveness.
But the cavalry equipped with submachine guns is different. As long as each soldier only needs to kill two Japanese cavalry with submachine guns during the charge, the battle can be won.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for submachine guns, the most indispensable thing for the new group right now is submachine guns.
Among the weapons and ammunition provided by Boss Chen, each squad is equipped with a submachine gun.
The New Regiment captured Ping'an, Heyuan and Anhua counties for the first time, obtained 300 submachine guns, and defeated the 36th Division to capture Ping'an, Heyuan and Anhua counties for the second time, and captured Datong by hunting rabbits in the grass.
Obtained 00 submachine guns. These submachine guns were not robbed by the head of the headquarters. Li Yunlong gave some to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and provided an extra submachine gun to some classes of the main infantry battalion.
】
in addition.
The last time the 36th Division was hit hard, the weapons and equipment of 700 people earned from business are still in the warehouse as spare weapons because there was no time to recruit new troops.
This time a new group
The new group gathered nearly 600 submachine guns, which was more than enough.
As for the issue of aiming, don't worry at all. Just do some temporary training and then you'll be on horseback, holding a submachine gun and you'll be done.
Zhao Gang then asked: "Then where are you going to choose the battlefield?"
Li Yunlong came to the map to look at it, and clicked twice on the map: "Here!"
Wang Dehou came over to take a look and said in a somewhat surprised tone: "Xiaono Village? Isn't this the place where the last time the independent regiment ambush the Japanese in Anhua County?"
Attacking the 36th Division, Li Yunlong came to the encirclement point for reinforcements.
Kong Jie led his troops to annihilate more than a thousand Japanese in Ono Village.
"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, "The terrain here is flat. If our cavalry battalion chooses to confront the Japanese sabers here, the Japanese cavalry will definitely be fooled!"
Everyone nodded and said no more.
This tactic can only be used once at most. It won't work the second time. The Japanese cavalry cannot be fooled a second time.
After a pause, Li Yunlong called his correspondent Chen Baoshan and said: "Xiao Chen, ask Cao Jiang, commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, to come to the regiment headquarters to see me immediately!"
"yes!"
Correspondent Chen Baoshan immediately picked up the high-power walkie-talkie and started calling.
Now is the wartime state, and the high-power walkie-talkies of each battalion of the New Regiment are turned on, making it convenient to contact the regiment headquarters anytime and anywhere.
Not long after, Cao Jiang, commander of the 1st Battalion of the New Regiment Cavalry, came to the regiment headquarters to report to Li Yunlong.
Immediately, Li Yunlong gave Cao Jiang an order to go to the Logistics Department to receive submachine guns and combat missions.
As for using jeeps carrying Czech light machine guns and M heavy machine guns like last time in the Xinzhou Basin, it would not be feasible to use the Japanese cavalry in the Ono Village area.
Because that area is full of crop fields, although the autumn grains have been harvested, the corn stalks are still there, so it is not suitable for driving a jeep there.
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley.
North China Front Army Headquarters.
Okamura Neiji has received news of the new regiment's full-scale counterattack against the 10th Division.
At one o'clock in the morning, Okamura Neji did not sleep. He and Arisu Seizo were in the operations hall and had just finished the military chess game of the new regiment's counterattack.
The new regiment launches a counterattack against the 10th Division. Can the 10th Division withstand it?
The result was surprising. The artillery firepower of the new regiment far exceeded that of the 10th Division. In addition, it received air-dropped supplies, so it had sufficient weapons and ammunition.
Whether it was tank firepower, heavy artillery firepower, infantry firepower, or logistical supplies, the 10th Division actually lagged far behind the new regiment.
Okamura Neji's face turned ugly when he came to this conclusion.
The other four divisions have not defeated the Eighth Route New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment so far.
After the two regiments, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, were well equipped, their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Class A Division with the same strength. This was something Okamura Neiji never expected.
Both the North China Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters focused most of their attention on the New First Regiment and Li Yunlong, ignoring the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.
Youmo Jingsan said in a deep voice: "Commander, now the 10th Division wants to resist the new regiment's all-out counterattack. Unless it uses that kind of tunnel tactics, the 10th Division may not be able to withstand the new regiment's counterattack."
!”
Although, the soldiers of the 10th Division have a tenacious fighting will, none of them are afraid of death, and their fighting qualities are first-rate.
But after all, the soldiers of the 10th Division were all made of flesh and blood. How could they withstand the new group of artillery shells?
"But the engineer wing of the 10th Division has just started digging tunnels..."
Okamura Neji frowned, thinking about whether to give up the raid.
It is still too late to withdraw the troops now. If the troops are not withdrawn, the 10th Division is likely to be defeated by the new regiment.
But now that the troops are withdrawing, all the previous attacks and the blood of the soldiers will be in vain.
Continue the attack or withdraw troops?
Okamura Neji fell into deep thought.
