Bright Sword Military System

Elastic defense is a defense method that Rommel was good at using.

When Rommel faced the enemy on the African battlefield, he also had the problem of insufficient troops. He could not hold an excessively long line of defense with much fewer troops than the enemy.

However, Rommel is worthy of being a legendary general. He quickly found a solution. He only placed a small number of infantry defenses in the defense lines and trenches, and the main armored forces were placed on the second line.

Once the enemy broke through the line of defense somewhere, Rommel's armored forces relied on the mobility of the armored forces to pounce on the enemy with lightning speed and repel the enemy.

In this way, under the command of Rommel, the line of defense that originally required more troops to hold was repelled time and time again with fewer victories and more victories.

But of course, the Eighth Route Army had no armored units and even very few cars, so Rommel's elastic defense could not be copied.

"We can use the terrain to combine guerrilla warfare and regular warfare." Wang Xuexin explained: "If the devils go north from the Jinsui Army defense area to penetrate into our army base, the terrain along the way will be dominated by mountains and hills. We will give up these places. But at the same time don’t give up…”

At this time, Li Yunlong asked: "I said Xiaobei, are you giving up or not? Explain clearly, don't come here with me!"

"Regimental Commander!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Of course we must give way, but we only give way partially. For example, roads, mountain roads, etc., and highlands on both sides, we will not build fortifications for the time being and will not stick to it. Let the devils in. Don't let us, Even in the depths of the mountains along the way, our troops are still hiding to fight against the devils, and these troops can jump out at any time after their regular troops pass by to give them a weak rear or transportation route!"

Li Yunlong said "Oh", then nodded, and said, "That's reasonable. If this is the case, the devil will be in trouble."

Li Yunlong was right.

According to Wang Xuexin's style of play, the devil is really in trouble.

There is a mountainous area in front of them. They can't find an enemy, and even if they want to fight a good battle, they can't find an opponent.

The roads are clear, but they dare not go deep.

Because once the battle is deep, the logistical supplies will be cut off by the enemy at any time and it will be a hard battle.

But if you don't go deep into the battle, the results of the battle cannot be expanded, which is equivalent to the Eighth Route Army blocking their attack.

At this time, there is only one way, and that is to clear this mountainous area step by step to protect the safety of the supply line.

As a result, the devils had to garrison troops and build fortifications one by one.

As a result, the devils who were supposed to be attacking became the defensive side, and the Eighth Route Army, which was supposed to be defending, became the attacking side.

Can the devils defend against a [-]-kilometer line of defense?

Not to mention that the Eighth Route Army is a veteran of guerrilla warfare, and there is no way to eliminate the devils wandering around in the mountains.

Even if the devils can be wiped out, even if the 10 devils are all piled up on the flanks of the Eighth Route Army, one point to the two hundred kilometers of defense... an average of two meters per devil.

With such a force, aren't there loopholes and weaknesses everywhere?

But the Eighth Route Army can slowly find holes in the dark, and then concentrate its forces at the right time to attack the devils.

As a result, what should have been a problem with the Eighth Route Army turned into a problem with devils. ....The chief immediately understood the benefits of Wang Xuexin's tactics, and nodded repeatedly: "This method is good. Use the terrain to advance and retreat, and fight the enemy like a spring. No wonder it is called elastic defense!"

Then the chief turned his attention to the cadres present at the meeting and asked, "What do you guys think about this style of play?"

"Chief!" Ding Wei got up and glanced at Wang Xuexin, and said, "I agree with this style of play. The style of play proposed by Xiaodongbei is very novel. It makes full use of our army's strengths in guerrilla warfare and the terrain advantages of my base area." But... this combination of guerrilla warfare and regular warfare is very difficult in terms of command and coordination, and I am afraid that it will lead to a chaotic battle!"

What Ding Wei said was true.

In the past, this problem did not exist in the guerrilla warfare of the whole army. The various units did not need to cooperate with each other, so it was convenient.

But now it is a combination of regular warfare and guerrilla warfare.

If the main force in the front is connected with the devils and needs the rear guerrillas to attack the devils' supply line, how can the order be passed on?

However, this problem was quickly resolved.

The chief said: "We can set up contact points along the way, use message trees during the day, use flashlights at night, pass down from station to station, or use carrier pigeons!"

The message tree was an early warning method for the people during the Anti-Japanese War. A sentinel guarded a dead tree on the hillside. Once the devil was found, he would bring down the tree, so the villagers knew that the devil was coming.

This method soon became the way for the Eighth Route Army to transmit information, and its functions were also expanded, such as what does hanging a white cloth mean, and what does it mean when it is tilted.

Because these methods of transmitting information are very primitive, it is difficult for devils to detect them. The disadvantage is that they are not timely enough and are easy to misrepresent.

The chief of staff added: "It's just that, in order to deliver the news in time, each contact point must be guarded by correspondents. It is best for these correspondents to dig tunnels and hide them in advance!"

The chief nodded in agreement.

Once the contact point is discovered by the devil, it is very likely to cause communication interruption, so you must save yourself.

The tactics were decided in this way, and the chief then ended the meeting and asked the heads of the regiments to go back to organize troops and wait for dispatch.

Wang Xuexin was supposed to return to Zhaojiayu to prepare, but after thinking about it, he found the commander's headquarters.

The chief was a little strange at first, but he immediately realized that this guy must have some ideas that he couldn't say at the meeting.

So the chief hurriedly ordered the people around him to avoid him, and when only the chief of staff and him were left, he lowered his voice and asked, "Comrade Wang Xuexin, do you have any other thoughts?"

"Chief, Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin said: "You said at the meeting...the devils gathered a lot of planes this time?"

"Yes!" The chief nodded: "It is estimated that there are more than 200 planes. But this has nothing to do with my army. These planes should be used to block the logistics supply line of Zhongtiao Mountain!"

Wang Xuexin also thought of this, it was used to bomb the front line of the Yellow River.

"Chief!" Wang Xuexin said, "That's what I think. Devils are a country that is short on resources. Especially now that there is an oil embargo, they must do everything possible to save fuel. You said, if this war breaks out, Devils Airport will still be there." Set in Taiyuan?"

The chief was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, Taiyuan is [-] kilometers away from the Yellow River. If the devils have to go back to Taiyuan to land and replenish ammunition and fuel every time, they will have to run another [-] kilometers on the way back and forth."

The chief of staff agreed with this point: "It won't be located in Linfen either. Linfen is nearly [-] kilometers away from the Yellow River. It would also be a huge waste to locate it there. That is to say..."

Then the chief and the chief of staff understood that the devils would probably find a place to urgently build an airport there after capturing the Jinsui Army defense zone, so as to shorten the journey of bombing the Yellow River as much as possible and achieve the purpose of saving fuel and time . .
