Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

"Report to the brigade commander, underground party comrades in Taiyuan City have sent us information that an 800-strong Xingya Yellow Army is marching towards the border between Shanxi and Hebei, and their motives are currently unknown."

A man with glasses, a square face and a righteous manner listened carefully.

This person was the commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division.

"What does the head of headquarters say?"

"The deputy commander-in-chief asked our unit to quickly find out the enemy's intentions to prevent the enemy from encircling and suppressing our base."

"Okay, pass on my order and have the brigade's reconnaissance company closely monitor the enemy's movements along the way."

"By the way, which regiment's defense zone is the enemy marching in?"

"It is the defense zone of Li Yunlong of the New 1st Regiment."

"Damn it, the enemy suddenly made these big moves. Could it be that Li Yunlong has caused me trouble again?"

"I'd better give this troublemaker a call."

Li Yunlong felt very unhappy after receiving a barrage of greetings from the brigade commander.

I've been pretty well behaved lately.

Why do you always put the blame on me when something goes wrong?

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death!

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong shouted:

"Zhang Dabiao... Damn, where is Dabiao..."

At this time, Zhang Dabiao walked in quickly from outside the door.

"Captain, what are your instructions?"

"Damn it, send someone to the Black Cloud Village to find out what's going on and see who is trying to deceive me!"

"Yes, leader!"

On the other side, at the headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong stood in front of the sand table and reported on the situation of the Xingya Huang Army.

After hearing this, Chu Yunfei became suspicious.

"What a meritorious service! Do you think this group of puppet troops is targeting the Eighth Route Army?"

Fang Ligong smiled and said, "Commander, even if the puppet army had eight heads, they would not dare to confront the regular troops head-on."

"Then what's going on? Strange!".

"The commander of the Japanese Army's First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, is a man of outstanding military talent and distinguished military achievements. He would not do anything nonsensical."

"By the way, Commander, Commander Yan has ordered our troops not to deploy any soldiers without instructions from higher authorities."

......

At the same time, at the top of the mountain in Heiyun Village.

Chen Yan was making battle deployments with Li San.

"San'er, I plan to set up two lines of defense for this battle."

"The first step is to build defensive fortifications three miles forward from Yitiantian."

"Let the brothers of the reinforced company meet the enemy head-on here."

"Remember, this is a feint attack. Let everyone fight and retreat at the same time to confuse the enemy and lure them into a narrow gap."

"The second line of defense is set up in the middle of the narrow sky, making full use of its narrow terrain."

"Put my Maxim gun here, and no one, not even the Lord, can get in."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the Russian-made Maxim machine is water-cooled and difficult to operate."

"But when it comes to firepower suppression, the Japanese's Type 92 is not enough."

Hearing Chen Yan's passionate speech, well-organized tactical arrangements and flexible tactics, everyone around him was full of admiration.

"Brothers, this is what they mean when one man blocks the pass and ten thousand men cannot break through."

Chen Yan knew very well the character of the puppet army and would never dare to use the same offensive method as the Japanese devils, such as the long live charge.

Therefore, it is enough to leave one group of people as the second line of defense.

"As long as we keep the enemy firmly in the narrow gap."

"Next, blast him with 60 fire from the top of the mountain."

"Hit them in the middle so that they can't take care of both the front and the back."

"At this point, the enemy's will was basically destroyed by us."

"Wait until they want to retreat, and then use four Type 4 infantry guns to cut off their retreat."

"If they don't leave me dozens of corpses, they won't be able to escape."

As Chen Yan spoke, murderous intent filled his eyes, and everyone around him couldn't help but shudder.

This is what a soldier should be like.

"Yes, Captain!".

Li San gave a standard military salute and no longer had his usual playful expression.

The narrow strip of sky at this moment is the calm before the storm, and the wind that blows is particularly biting!

On the other side, Cai Xiongfei was riding a tall horse and smoking a cigar.

The troops behind were marching sparsely, and everyone followed behind in a crooked manner.

"Old Wang, how far is Black Cloud Village?"

The adjutant on the side quickly replied: "Commander, it's less than 10 miles away."

"Lao Wang, please ask the troops to stop, I want to say a few words."

"Stop and line up!"

Everything was ready, and Cai Xiongfei looked at the team with a solemn expression.

"Brothers, General Yoshio Shinozuka values ​​our troops very much. This encirclement and suppression of Heiyun Village is a good opportunity for you to make achievements."

"It doesn't matter if you can't defeat the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Eighth Route Army under normal circumstances."

"It should be no problem to beat a small bandit."

"As long as we win this battle, I will reward each of us with a piece of the best opium."

When they heard about opium, the puppet soldiers' eyes turned green.

Cai Xiongfei led the team to continue their journey.

Humph, I don’t dare to mess with the regular army, but a bunch of bandits dare to bully me.

If I don’t kill you today, you will really think I am a soft persimmon!

However, looking at the towering mountains and endless terrain of Heiyun Village, Cai Xiongfei felt a little uneasy.

"Old Wang, the Black Cloud Village is not far ahead."

"Okay, I'll now hand over the command of the battlefield to you, and you will lead the team forward."

"Commander, what about you?"

"I won't go over. I'm the highest commander and I have to command the situation from the rear."

Lao Wang made a bitter face and looked very reluctant.

"Go quickly, what are you dawdling for!"

Seeing Cai Xiongfei's final ultimatum, Lao Wang replied helplessly: "Yes".

As he led the team forward, he muttered, "It's always like this, leaving me to take the bullets."

At the top of Yitiantian, Chen Yan's telescope was closely monitoring Cai Xiongfei's troops.

"San'er, tell the brothers to get ready, the enemy will be here soon."

"Yes".

At the first position of Heiyun Village, the soldiers held their breath and slowly pulled the bolts of their guns.

As the commander of this team, Huang Yi kept a close eye on the front.

Seeing the puppet troops gradually showing their heads from the bend in front, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fight!"

At this moment, a row of bullets whizzed past and knocked the vanguard of the puppet army to the ground.

At this time, the puppet army finally reacted and frantically looked for cover and launched a counterattack.

Adjutant Wang hurriedly hid behind a puppet soldier and shouted, "Brothers, shoot quickly."

Soon the puppet army set up the heavy machine guns.

A volley of bullets flew past, blowing up the dust on Huang Yi's position.

Huang Yi rolled to the side and picked up three rifles to aim at the heavy machine gunner on the opposite side.

"Bang", a bullet was fired and hit the machine gunner right in the middle of his eyebrows.

At this moment, Chen Yan was looking at the battlefield with a telescope on the top of the mountain.

"Huang Yi is still inexperienced."

"Who told him to fire the first shot so early? He should have shot closer!"

"However, his shooting skills are still good."

Li San listened to Chen Yan chattering away without saying a word.

Although Huang Yi fought well in the early stages, he was soon suppressed by the puppet army's mortars and could not even raise his head.

"Damn, are Huang Yi's eyes used for breathing?"

"The artillery fire from the opposite side is so fierce. If you don't retreat, you will be surrounded by the enemy again."

"Wait a minute, I'm going to kick Huang Yi's ass."

At this time, Chen Yan's loud shouting with his teeth bared made Li San laugh and cry.
