Chapter 256 Set off!
Chapter 256 Set off!
After the welcome and commendation ceremony was over, Zhao Gang arranged for the comrades of the Liangshan Special Forces to attend their celebration banquet, while Li Yunlong took Yu Ye to stay where he was.
"Old Yu, are you roasting me on the fire?"
Old Li, who lost more than he gained, regretted his decision very much. He wondered why he had said that much. Since Old Yu had already prepared the equipment, the soldiers of the Liangshan Special Forces could have just gone and got it.
"I'm roasting you over the fire. You've been extorting money from me for a long time, so I'm going to let you bleed. However, what I said just now is also true. If the special forces detachment does not have special carrying equipment, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.
Just think of a solution!"
After saying that, Yu Ye patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, turned around and was about to leave.
"Yamamoto's special forces are like loaches. Where can I catch them?" Now it was Lao Li's turn to have a bitter face.
Yu Ye, who had already taken two steps, turned around and said, "Old Li, you have to remember one thing, although special operations are very powerful, they often avoid the ribs and go straight to the heart.
However, the best way to deal with special forces is still regular troops and powerful heavy firepower."
"it is good!"
Li Yunlong took Yu Ye's words seriously to heart.
......
With the return of the fourth reconnaissance team sent out by the Independent Regiment, the Independent Regiment finally made up its mind to attack one of the two copper mines.
"According to the information brought back by our comrades who conducted reconnaissance, there is a squadron of Japanese soldiers stationed at the Bizigou Copper Mine and Tongshan Copper Mine where we are going to attack, with about 200 people each.
According to our on-site statistics, there were 217 Japanese soldiers stationed in Bizigou.
There were 196 Japanese soldiers stationed in Tongshan.
If we only fight one of them, according to our current independent regiment's troop deployment, we should prepare a battalion of troops."
Li Yunlong pointed to two core targets on the battle map and introduced the specific situation.
In addition to Lao Li's introduction to the distribution of troops, Zhao Gang also introduced other situations of the two mines, including the number of miners who had been abducted by the Japanese and the average monthly output of the two mines in tons.
After these two people finished their introductions, the three battalion commanders and Deputy Regiment Commander Xing present all had a clear understanding of the two goals.
"According to the current situation and our needs, the output of these two copper mines can roughly meet the needs of our Liaoyuan Arsenal, but now there is a problem.
Which one shall we attack?"
Zhao Gang asked, pointing at the battle map.
Logically speaking, the commander Li Yunlong is responsible for determining the specific combat objectives, but since the strategic goal this time is to allow the Liaoyuan Arsenal to obtain sufficient industrial raw materials, Yu Ye's attitude is also very important.
"Old Yu, what do you think?"
Li Yunlong threw this question to Yu Ye.
Yu Ye almost blurted out "I want them all", but in the end he held back.
"Captain, Political Commissar, according to the current demand for Liaoyuan Arsenal, it would be enough to take down just one of them, but later on, we may need both.
According to the firepower strength of our independent regiment, any one of them can be taken down at any time.
However, we need to consider one issue. After all, this copper mine is in an area controlled by the Japanese, and we also have to consider the subsequent maintenance and transportation of the people.
I suggest that we attack the one that is far from the highway and the main road! "
Yu Ye made the final decision.
"why?"
As soon as Li Yunlong asked this question, he immediately understood the problem.
The Japanese currently have more trucks than their own, and their ability to maneuver quickly is stronger, so they can take back the stolen copper mine at any time. If they are far away from the main road, the Japanese will not be able to maneuver as quickly, giving the independent regiment and the people more time to react.
"I understand. Let's make a comb ditch!"
Li Yunlong pressed hard on the map, feeling as if everything was under control.
Wouldn't it be easy to defeat a small Japanese army of only two hundred people?
"it is good!"
"it is good!"
Everyone in the regiment headquarters unanimously agreed with the commander's plan and decided to dig the Bizigou.
"The tentative plan is to set off tomorrow! I will lead the third battalion and the artillery company and head towards Bizigou." Li Yunlong made a preliminary plan to dispatch troops.
"Captain, can you wait for me for a few days?" Yu Ye asked.
"What? Old Yu, what are your plans?"
"Since we are in the heart of the Japanese, we can never be too careful. I wonder if we can have our reconnaissance soldiers take our comrades from the Liaoyuan Arsenal to do some surveying.
If there is a need for artillery support, we can respond at any time."
Yu Ye said seriously.
"Isn't it just a quick in and quick out? I can just lead the Third Battalion and carry a few rocket launchers. Why do we need artillery support?
There are only 200 Japanese soldiers in a squadron. What kind of firepower can they have?" Li Yunlong asked puzzledly.
"It's better to be on the safe side."
Yu Ye insisted.
"how much time is required?"
"Five days is enough!"
"it is good!"
......
Early morning five days later.
Yu Ye and Zhao Gang saw off Li Yunlong and the convoy of six trucks at the village entrance.
"Old Yu, are you worrying too much? This time, Old Li is leading the expanded Third Battalion, which has almost a thousand men, and there are also five rocket launchers. Plus, we have the support of automatic firearms, so it shouldn't be easy for us to defeat a squadron of the Japanese."
Zhao Gang is also very optimistic about this battle.
After hearing this, Yu Ye was stunned. What was going on?
Who gave Lao Zhao such courage?
Could it be me?
Now the independent regiment is so brave in fighting the Japanese, a battalion can easily defeat a squadron of Japanese? What happened to the 10:1 casualty ratio in the previous battle against the Japanese? Now it is the other way around?
"Uh... okay!"
Yu Ye didn't know what to say.
Looking at the clouds of dust raised by Lao Li's convoy in the early morning of late autumn, he said silently in his heart, I hope everything will go well.
"By the way, Old Yu, what are you doing with the two math students from your Liaoyuan Arsenal? You asked one to go out with our reconnaissance soldiers, and you asked the other to teach the telegraph operator borrowed from the brigade commander, and you even taught him a lot of math formulas.
Do translators still have to be responsible for confidential work on the battlefield now?"
Seeing that Lao Li’s convoy had left his sight, Zhao Gang turned around and asked Yu Yedao.
Yu Ye held in his hand the precise map that had been drawn by the math student with red eyes. The telegraph operator who followed Lao Li also had a copy of the same map.
After a moment of silence, Yu Ye uttered two words calmly: "Artillery reconnaissance."
"What?"
Zhao Gang didn't understand.
Yu Ye did not explain any more and turned around and walked towards the Liaoyuan Arsenal. Today he would guide the installation of the 155 howitzer base.
After several months of hard work, four or five usable gun barrels were finally picked out from nearly a hundred gun barrels. Yu Ye hoped that this god of war could make its debut soon.
Thinking of this, Yu Ye's eyes were filled with fiery looks.
