Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Qian Bojun was smoking a cigar, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Do you think Chu Yunfei has a kind heart? You are wrong. I have been with him for so many years and I know him best.

He is a vindictive person. Just because he doesn't turn hostile now doesn't mean he can get away with us.

It's just because the war is imminent. The first battalion is a reinforced battalion with nearly 3000 people. I have been operating here for so many years, and no one except me can command the first battalion. "

The deputy battalion commander looked panicked, "Brother-in-law, it will be too late if we settle the score later. We have to make plans early."

Qian Bojun looked confident of victory and said proudly:

"He, Chu Yunfei, is extraordinary, and I, Qian Bojun, am not bad either.

The first battalion is my capital. If he goes too far in the future, I will just rebel.

In fact, the Japanese have promised me a high position and generous salary, but I just feel that the time is not right now.

But don't push me to the edge of the cliff, at worst we'll all die together."

......

After Chen Yan brought Li Yunlong to the designated combat position, he dived into the makeshift tent.

At 358 o'clock in the evening, hundreds of artillery shells from the th Regiment's position flew into the sky and hit Guangping Town directly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Guangping Town was instantly engulfed in flames, and a round of rapid fire caught the Japanese army off guard.

The Japanese defense zone was covered in blood and flesh, and suffered heavy losses.

The Japanese regiment commander immediately called the First Army Headquarters for help.

"Moses, this is the 67th Brigade of Guangping Town. I am the brigade commander Nan Dao Yi Nan. My unit is under a night attack by an unknown enemy. Please support me."

Afterwards, Nan Dao Yi Nan gathered his troops and rushed towards the exit of Guangping Town.

Because it was a surprise attack, the 358th Regiment went very smoothly in the first phase. However, the Japanese army quickly formed a counterattack force and defended.

Before Chu Yunfei's artillery battalion could launch the second round of rapid fire, the Japanese artillery and mortars roared in.

This scene not only surprised Chu Yunfei, but also Chen Yan.

"Old Li, look, the two sides have started fighting. I didn't expect this group of devils to react so quickly. This guy is going to give Chu Yunfei a hard time."

"Chen'er, let's just be the spectators."

"Yeah, just treat it as a fireworks display."

The two of them were chatting casually, but Chu Yunfei on the other side had a worried look on his face.

"Achieve meritorious service. Immediately have Qian Bojun's troops on the first line of defense organize a counterattack. We must suppress the enemy's firepower."

Qian Bojun dialed the phone, "Hello, is this Captain Qian? This is Chief of Staff Fang Ligong. I'm passing on the order from Regimental Commander Chu. Instruct your unit to counterattack immediately. You must suppress the enemy's firepower and not let..."

Before Fang Ligong could finish his words, Qian Bojun interrupted him lazily, "Okay, I got it," and then he hung up the phone.

Fang Ligong stared at Chu Yunfei while holding the phone. Chu Yunfei frowned and said calmly:

"Let the other troops join the battle."

For a while, Chu Yunfei and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely, and gunfire and artillery fire illuminated the land of Guangping Town.

Chen Yan felt a little upset listening to the gunfire outside.

"Old Li, it seems that the little devils in Guangping Town are really hard to deal with.

Xiao Chu made full preparations and launched a surprise attack, but from the sound of gunfire, I felt that the 358th Regiment did not gain any advantage.

And you've been listening for more than an hour, and the artillery fire from both sides has never stopped.

Guangping is the enemy's logistics center. In terms of ammunition, Xiao Chu is definitely no match for them."

Li Yunlong looked outside the tent, his eyes full of envy.

"I don't care about anything else, but it hurts me to see them abuse the shells like this."

Chen Yan joked happily:

"Look at your poor appearance. Don't worry, after this battle, I guarantee that your father will become a wealthy man."

"Huh? You mean Xiao Chu will win this battle, and our 4% stake is secure."

"I can't say for sure, but I have a sure-win solution. I just don't know if it will work."

Li Yunlong shook his big head and walked over with a smug look on his face.

"Okay! So you have an idea, tell me about it."

When Chen Yan opened the map of Guangping Town, he drew a circle around it.

"Old Li, Guangping Town used to be a big town with thousands of people living in it. Later, the Japanese occupied it, drove the people away, and established an absolute vacuum no-man's land.

In such a big town, do you think the Japanese can guard every corner of it without leaving any loopholes?"

Li Yunlong quickly took out a cigarette and muttered:

"You mean to sneak in and fight?

Logically speaking, the Japanese have been operating here for many years and have surrounded us like an iron barrel, so they will not leave us any chance. "

Chen Yan stretched out his index finger and waved it in front of Li Yunlong.

“No, no, no, the opportunity was not given to us by the devils, but created for us by Xiao Chu.

Our position is away from the main position, and the Japanese can't notice us at all. This is our opportunity.

As long as we pick a suitable location, if it doesn’t work above ground, we’ll go underground.”

Li Yunlong's mind suddenly became much clearer.

"You mean digging a tunnel?"

"That's right, they are having such a great time, I, Chen Yan, can't just sit there and do nothing.

As long as we open a tunnel, once both sides are exhausted, we can go straight to the heart of the enemy. By then, the enemy will be unable to take care of themselves, and we will have the opportunity to take advantage of them."

"Pa!" Li Yunlong clapped his hands on the table in delight and shouted:

“Great, this is a great trick.

This can also be considered as Chu Yunfei setting the stage and performing for me.

All right, I'll arrange for someone to check the situation."

......

At the same time, inside the 358th Regiment Headquarters, the combat staff was reporting the situation.

"Captain, according to the headquarters report, all troops are in place and have not yet engaged in a firefight with the supporting Japanese troops.

The casualties of our troops in the first battalion were 200, and those of the second and third battalions were no more than 150.

Chu Yunfei supported his chin with his hand, his face full of worry.

In less than two hours, there were nearly 700 casualties. Is this a battle fought by my Chu Yunfei's troops?

Is it because there hasn’t been a war for a long time?

Fang Ligong interrupted Chu Yunfei's thoughts at this time.

"Commander, this group of Japanese soldiers is indeed not easy to deal with.

We thought we could catch them off guard, but now it seems that the Japanese are indeed well-trained and their military quality is a level higher than ours.

But the commander-in-chief did not need to worry too much. Although our army suffered heavy losses, the Japanese were also in trouble. According to preliminary statistics, the Japanese casualties were at least more than 200.

This is also the best record of our Jinsui Army so far."

Chu Yunfei murmured: "The casualties are 1:3, ah~".

Chu Yunfei stood up slowly and looked at everyone. "You have done a great job. Instruct the first battalion to increase the intensity of the attack. We must break through the outer defense line of the Japanese army in Guangping Town within two hours and drive the devils into the town. This way, we don't have to worry about the devil's artillery."

Then Chu Yunfei's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "MD, my individual combat quality is not good, but I have more people than you. I don't believe that I can't build a road into the town with those lives."
