Bright Sword Military System

Casualties on the battlefield cannot be accurately counted, because many devils are only wounded and never killed...Gas bombs depend on the dose of exposure.

Therefore, there are only more than 1000 devil corpses left on the battlefield.

There are estimated to be five or six thousand injured, because the entire division of the devils was defeated by this blow and retreated in a hurry... The Eighth Route Army did not dare to chase, because they were not sure which areas of the smoke from the shells in front of them were poisonous, so they rushed after them rashly It would not be worthwhile if the enemy fell into the poisonous gas without hitting a few.

But poison gas injuries are not the same as combat injuries.

Many battle injuries can be recovered after recuperating in the rear. Injuries from poisonous gas... a considerable part of them are respiratory system injuries. Insomnia caused by poisonous gas corrosion.

No matter what kind of injury, these wounded soldiers basically lose their combat effectiveness and are permanent.

In other words, not only are they not helpful to the Kwantung Army, but they will also become a heavy burden for the Kwantung Army... Even if the devils don't waste medicine on them, food will always be consumed, right?We can't let these wounded soldiers just starve to death like that, can we?

This is not to say that devils can't do this kind of thing, but that doing so will make other devils feel cold and affect the morale and combat effectiveness of the troops, so these wounded soldiers are hanging there half dead!

It's kind of like a land mine.

Landmine damage to the target is the biggest damage to the enemy and the trouble it causes.

The same is true for the damage caused by the devil's gas bomb.

After knowing our army's victory, everyone in the Taiyuan headquarters breathed a sigh of relief: this is the biggest threat to the Eighth Route Army's defense line.

If the battle just now could not be withstood, the Eighth Route Army may be divided into several parts:

A part of the defense line east of Fengtian, this part was surrounded by the Fengtian garrison and devil reinforcements who went out of the city to fight.

A part of the defense line west of Fengtian, which is divided by Fengtian City.

Dalian is another part, which will be penetrated by devil troops to Yingkou to cut off the connection with the main force.

Among them, Dalian has no problem for the time being, because it has the materials of the port and the Jinzhou defense line, and there are tens of thousands of recruits organized by Dalian.

The most dangerous will be the [-] main forces east of Fengtian... Most of these [-] main forces are the Eighth Route Army fighting from Chifeng, with only [-] to [-] recruits. They will be surrounded by devils and continuously attacked by devil gas bombs.

Fortunately, this scene did not happen.

However, when everyone was rejoicing for Donggang's victory, Wang Xuexin looked at the map cautiously with a frown.

"Regimental Commander!" Chen Songyong asked suspiciously, "Are you not satisfied with the result of this battle?"

Wang Xuexin shook his head slightly, this battle has achieved the best results, and the Long March Group has also shown their courage, so Wang Xuexin is still not satisfied.

Wang Xuexin sighed and said, "The problem of Donggang is solved, but what if the devils attack from another position?"

As soon as Chen Songyong heard this, he understood.

The battle in Donggang can be said to be due to the good luck of the Eighth Route Army. The devils chose to break through along the coastline, which gave the Eighth Route Army warships a chance to perform.

In fact, this can't be called "luck". The devils did this because they wanted to use the gas bombs to maximize their combat effectiveness, but they were beaten by the Eighth Route Army warships and suffered heavy casualties.

Warships can be used to block the coastline, but what if the devils use gas bombs far away from the coastline?

Would warships still be useful then?

Therefore, although the Donggang battle was won, the crisis of the main force of the Eighth Route Army east of Fengtian has not been resolved.

After thinking for a while, Chen Songyong said: "Regimental Commander, the Long March Regiment has summed up some experience when fighting the devils, why don't you... share their experience with other troops?"

Wang Xuexin agreed with a "hmm".

This is what it should be, and Chen Songyong doesn't need to say it, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has already done so.

Part of the reason why the Eighth Route Army has grown to what it is now is that the Eighth Route Army has been summing up its experience after the war:

I didn't play well, what's wrong with it?

How to avoid warning other troops next time?

Well done, what's so good about it?

Is it a coincidence or a tactical victory, can it be learned and shared with other troops?

This has become a habit.

This time the poison gas bomb operation against the devils is no exception. Of course, the Long March Group will share their experience with other troops.

However, Wang Xuexin thinks this is far from enough!

"Although the commander of the Long March Regiment has good combat experience, casualties cannot be avoided!" Wang Xuexin said: "Especially if the devils are prepared for this kind of tactics in the future, then they will deploy poison gas bombs on their own defense lines in advance." Good firepower is waiting for our attack, and it is even possible to hit a few poison gas bombs on our attack route, which may cause a large number of casualties to our army!"

Chen Songyong couldn't help but look shocked.

What Wang Xuexin said is correct. If the devils are prepared and know that the Eighth Route Army will "replace defense with offense", why can't they use poison gas bombs in front of the position to provide themselves with cover?

At that time, the Eighth Route Army will be surrounded by poisonous gas, and the charge will be hit by the firepower of the devils, so the casualties will be unpredictable.

The reason why the Long March Regiment was able to succeed was only because the devils did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would do this and was caught off guard. It would be another matter if other troops did this again!

Thinking about it, Chen Songyong immediately took out the small notebook he carried with him and wrote down the main points... This is a big deal, and he will send it to every army to remind them later, otherwise he may suffer a lot after the fight starts. deficit!

But as he was writing, Chen Songyong felt something was wrong again.

"Regimental Commander!" Chen Songyong said, "If we can't defend or attack, what should we do? Can we just retreat?"

Chen Songyong's idea was that if he could only retreat, it would be better to attack and fight the enemy desperately... It would take a certain amount of time for the poisonous gas to erupt, and the charge of the Eighth Route Army could at least wipe out part of the devils and hold the line of defense to ensure the safety of the friendly flanks.

And once it retreats, it will be fatal to the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Xuexin was also silent.

There is really no good way to deal with gas bombs. If there were, gas bombs would not be invented and used on the battlefield.

However, if it cannot be dealt with tactically, is there a way to deal with it strategically?

Wang Xuexin searched the map for a while, then pointed to a location and said, "So, we shouldn't blindly take defense and always think about fighting trench warfare to encircle Fengtian, we should take the initiative to attack and disrupt the enemy's pace!"

Chen Songyong looked at the position Wang Xuexin was pointing at, and then raised his head unexpectedly: "Siping?"
