Bright Sword Military System

As soon as Li Yunlong sent the battle plan to Wang Xuexin, Wang Xuexin secretly praised it.

The good thing about this battle plan is that it hits Songyuan, which is the main material distribution center for the Japanese but not the only one.

In this way, even if the Eighth Route Army takes control of Songyuan, the Japanese will not retreat and will not concentrate all their forces to surround Songyuan... Its strategic target will always be Ping An Village, and the oil in Ping An Village cannot be delayed.

If the Eighth Route Army attacked other places and completely cut off the Japs' transportation lines to Ping'an Village, then the Japs would have no other choice but to concentrate all their forces to clear the transportation lines before attacking Ping'an Village.

Therefore, Songyuan would not bear all the pressure from the Japanese, and there would be no transition in the battlefield.

More importantly, Songyuan is backed by the Songhua River, which flows southeast from Songyuan for a short half of Xinjing.

This does not seem to be an encirclement. In fact, it has formed an encirclement for the Japanese: Once the Japanese are completely defeated, they must flee north across the Songhua River. When the Eighth Route Army has air superiority, it only needs to blow up the bridges on the Songhua River one by one, or mechanize the troops. By seizing the bridges along the Songhua River, all the Japanese from the south of the Songhua River to Xinjing were surrounded.

There are at least 10,000+ Japs, and the Japs are still adding more troops to this area to attack Xinjing and Ping'an Village.

If this plan can be successfully implemented, it will almost remove an arm of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

More importantly, Songyuan is only 190 kilometers away from Daqing to the north. If the mechanized troops are fast, they can hit it in two or three days.

But of course, this requires crossing the Songhua River to carry out cross-river operations.

To cross the river, we also need to prepare for taking Songyuan on the south bank of the Songhua River and use it as an offensive base.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin immediately agreed to Li Yunlong's battle plan. At the same time, he secretly praised Li Yunlong's good eyesight. He found a suitable attack point and his idea of ​​maneuvering to protect the supply line was also very creative:

The distance from Pingan Village to Songyuan is about 150 kilometers.

If infantry was used to protect this long supply line, it would cost at least tens of thousands of people.

And investing tens of thousands of people will cause another problem: these tens of thousands of people need supplies and ammunition, they also need to build fortifications and have ammunition reserves, etc., so it will inevitably increase the logistics pressure, and these tens of thousands of troops It may not be possible to prevent it, and something will go wrong at any point. The defense line will be broken through by the Japanese, causing heavy casualties. At the same time, the transportation line will be cut off.

But if mobile troops are used for protection, there is no need for so many troops. There are three mechanized regiments, all of which only have about [-] troops.

They don't need to build a defense line, they just need to prepare for an attack: any Japanese army that enters this area will be besieged by three mechanized regiments of the Eighth Route Army...

During this period, the Japanese Kwantung Army was already severely short of fuel, had no tanks, and did not even have many driving cars. In addition, the Japanese lacked anti-tank equipment. What could they do to resist the tanks and half-tracks of the Eighth Route Army?If a division comes in, it will collapse within two hits!

As for the Eighth Route Army's transport convoys, they were gathered together and escorted by a mechanized regiment.

Railway Wang Xuexin will not consider it.

Railways are more suitable for controlled areas. Building railways in war zones is too dangerous and makes little sense: it takes a lot of manpower, material resources and time to repair, but the Japanese can paralyze it with just a few shells, and the lines are fixed and predictable. This will become An opportunity for the Japanese to set up an ambush.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin ordered: "Deploy a hundred cars to Li Yunlong. In addition, the supplies will be given priority to Ping'an Village to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan to attack Songyuan!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong laughed "hehe" when he heard Wang Xuexin's order: "Xiao Dongbei still understands me, we are inseparable in this battle!"

Li Yunlong's plan went very smoothly. He spent two days preparing. Then, two mechanized regiments and three regiments of infantry broke through the Japanese defense line from Ping'an Village and went all the way north. Another mechanized regiment set out from Xinjing to make a plan. To join forces with them... This is very similar to the "pincer attack" commonly used by Hans, and the target is directly at Qingyang Town, a transportation hub behind the Japanese.

When the Japanese saw this posture, they took it for granted that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack Qingyang Town to cut off its transportation channels, and hurriedly mobilized the troops of the two divisions to assume a defensive posture on both sides of Qingyang Town:

If there are no tanks to deal with enemy tanks, anti-tank trenches are dug, and barbed wire, mines, and anti-tank fences are added.

The so-called anti-tank fence is a trident-shaped obstacle with three iron rods welded together and can stand on the ground. It is simple to make but very practical. If the tank is hard-topped, this kind of fence will hit the fence and the ground to form a "top cow" no matter which direction it is. " state, which will cause the tank engine to overuse and break the track if it hits the track.

Compared with anti-tank trenches, this kind of fence obstacle can be quickly deployed in a short period of time to prevent enemy tanks from advancing easily.

It is conceivable that if the Eighth Route Army really attacks Qingyang Town, it is likely to encounter a hard nail.

In actual combat, there are actually many things that can stop mechanized troops and they are also very cheap. If mechanized troops forcefully attack these prepared places, they will most likely suffer losses, and even if they win, it will be a miserable victory.

The point is that mechanized troops have a speed advantage. They can use their speed advantage to bypass the places where the enemy is prepared: If the enemy prepares here, I will attack there, unless you prepare every place.

This is how Hans fought the "Blitzkrieg".

At this time, Li Yunlong had mastered the essence of "blitzkrieg". His two mechanized regiments fired a false shot in front of Qingyang Town, and then rushed to Sy City overnight.

As we headed north, we ran all the way to many Japanese transport convoys.

To be precise, it was not a "convoy", but Chinese people escorted by Japanese or puppet troops who used cattle, horses, mules, and wheelbarrows to transport supplies... At this time, the Kwantung Army no longer had fuel to transport supplies in cars.

These transport convoys did not need the Eighth Route Army to fight at all. The Eighth Route Army half-track car drove forward, fired two shots with a "bang bang" and shouted: "Hand the gun and don't kill!"

Then the Japs were killed and all the supplies fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. They even brought up a militia force of more than 3000 people along the way: the people were voluntarily joined by the common people, and the guns and bullets were seized from the Japs' supplies.

This made Li Yunlong very embarrassed.

Because mechanized troops need to be fast, but the speed of militia and supplies cannot keep up.

If they were left here to wait for the infantry regiments to follow, they would be easily surrounded and annihilated by the devils... Most of these militiamen couldn't even shoot, and if they fought against the devils, they would collapse at the first touch!
