Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

The brigade commander concluded, "So each squad has a machine gun, a small cannon for fire support, and a burst rifle?"

"Yes, and not only is their firepower strong, I've seen their squad drills, with three combat teams moving in a line.

One group attacks, one group provides cover, and another group provides fire support. The machine gun group at the back provides fire suppression, and the artillery group carries out targeted removal of the fire points attacked by the same machine guns.

In this way, the troops' attack points are very dispersed, which not only saves ammunition but also reduces casualties. I plan to promote this method in the new regiment!"

Ding Wei explained this tactic in full.

"Okay, does this tactic have a name? Did Wang Ye tell us about the overall tactical framework?" The brigade commander rubbed his hands happily.

Ding Wei took out a booklet from his arms and handed it over, "Everything is in here!"

The brigade commander couldn't let go of the booklet. He carefully put it away before asking, "You just said that there are 14 people in their squad. What does the extra person do?"

Ding Wei looked at the brigade commander with a guilty look before answering, "The last person was holding a new type of weapon that I had never seen before. I heard from Captain Wang that it was something called a rocket launcher.

This thing uses armor-piercing bullets, which is very powerful against Japanese tanks, but I think it should also be useful against Japanese artillery towers or sturdy bunkers."

The brigade commander looked at Ding Wei strangely and said, "This weapon is so good, why are you so guilty?"

Officer Cui smiled and said, "Captain Ding, when we came back, your soldiers brought a lot of boxes. Could they be weapons like this?"

Ding Wei hurriedly explained, "No, no, don't talk nonsense!"

The brigade commander was very interested in this weapon, but the weapon was in the hands of the children's group a hundred miles away, so he couldn't see it. Now that Ding Wei had brought it back, he would not be polite.

"Ding Wei, you came from Jizhong to join my New 1st Regiment. As the brigade commander, I have never treated you unfairly, have I? If you have something good, shouldn't you share it with me, the brigade commander, so that I can be happy too?"

Ding Wei was dumbfounded. The brigade commander didn't follow the routine. Why did he play the emotional card right from the start? How could he respond?

Seeing Ding Wei remained silent, the brigade commander raised his voice and said, "Ding Wei, I have to congratulate you on your fortune!"

Ding Wei had heard the congratulations from the brigade commander, but Li Yunlong was most afraid of hearing these words. He said somewhat disappointedly,

"Commander, please be kind. I only brought back three. I don't have much ammunition. Please leave some for me!"

"Well, you brought it back after all, so I'll leave you one and the matching ammunition. How about that? Am I treating you well?"

The brigade commander waved his hand and immediately arranged for someone to go to the New 1st Regiment to get the things. Ding Wei was a smart man. When they came back, he arranged for the soldiers to change their route halfway and bring the things back to the New 1st Regiment.

If the soldiers were asked to follow him to the brigade headquarters, they would be like a meat bun throwing a dog and never come back!

"Okay, it seems that the firepower of the children's group is indeed good, but this firepower is not enough to attack the county town!"

Not only are there all kinds of traitors and running dogs around the Japanese county town, there are also countless bunkers and artillery towers. More importantly, once the county town is attacked, the surrounding Japanese will provide support within a day at most.

"Commander, I haven't finished yet!"

"The children's regiment's platoon-level reinforced firepower squad has three heavy machine guns, most of which are Maxims.

The company-level reinforced firepower platoon has three Japanese Type 90 mortars, which we commonly call small steel cannons.

The battalion-level reinforced firepower company has 9 Type infantry guns.

This does not include the artillery battalion directly under the regiment headquarters, which is full of 88mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft guns. They used these guns to shoot down the Japanese planes! "

The brigade commander took a pen and scribbled on the paper, then exclaimed, "So his battalion has nine infantry guns, nine Type 9 mortars, 9 heavy machine guns, and other various weapons?"

"That's right, so Captain Wang plans to have a full strength of about 800 to 1000 people in a battalion!"

"My goodness, so, his battalion has about the same number of people as our basic regiment, but his weapons and equipment are better than our main regiment. If I had these weapons, I would dare to attack Taiyuan."

When Kong Jie heard this, he couldn't help but shout out his soul, I can do it too!

"Come on! Even if I give you these weapons, do you have so many soldiers who can use them?" Blind Cheng poured cold water on Kong Jie.

"Why do you care whether I can use it or not? As if you can use it!" Kong Jie never felt that Blind Cheng was hateful at this moment.

The brigade commander was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "His concerns are indeed reasonable. Our current combat strategy is to defend and counterattack, and our main goal is to develop a base.

But the Children's Corps had powerful weapons and a good number of soldiers, so no one could stay there if they were forced to hide in the mountains all day.

In this case, I will report to the headquarters immediately, and they will make arrangements. We must find a way to have the best of both worlds!"

After Ding Wei and others finished their report, the brigade commander immediately rushed to the headquarters. Wang Ye was very unhappy when he heard the intelligence from Wang Erde of the reconnaissance battalion.

He looked at Wang Su, Wu Gang and Xu Nian in the conference room and said, "What do you think is wrong with these devils? An entire regiment was wiped out, and they didn't even react at all.

Shouldn't they send a brigade or something to seek revenge on us with great fanfare?

I think the Third Brigade is pretty good. Sasaki has two regiments under his command, with more than 8000 people. How can he bear this?"

Wang Ye thought that a regiment flag would strengthen the entire regiment's devils, and the merit points he got would be about 3.

A colonel has 3000 soldiers, a major general has at least 5000 soldiers, plus the regiment flag and all the Japanese soldiers. Wang Ye drooled when he saw this.

Xu Nian didn't know much about military affairs, so he said doubtfully, "Isn't it good that the devils don't bother us now? We can start local work as soon as possible!"

Wang Su took Xu Nian's hand and explained, "Sister Xu Nian, you don't know that our children's group is either fighting the Japanese or on the way to fight the Japanese.

If we stop like this, everyone will be exhausted from training all day, and we’d better fight the Japanese more vigorously! "

Political Commissar Wu Gang is not a real political commissar. He comes from a military background. How can he stay in the mountain village all day?

"Captain, can we start the Pingyang plan you mentioned a few days ago?"

Wang Ye looked up at the expectant eyes of Wang Su, Wu Gang, and the company commanders in the conference room, and couldn't help laughing. It felt good to work together.

"Now the three infantry battalions have been almost replenished, with about 800 men in total. No one is happy with training all day.

Starting tomorrow, the three battalions will take turns arranging troops and squads to conduct small-scale operations in the area near Daqing Mountain in Pingyang County."
