Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

The Big Three hurried back to the regiment to prepare for the war.

The time of the battle has been confirmed to be one month later. Since it is a joint operation between the two armies, Chen Yan often follows the division commander to the Second War Zone Headquarters to attend joint combat meetings during this period.

After the meeting that day, Chen Yan complained to his teacher:

"Boss, I won't come tomorrow, you can come by yourself if you want.

The war hasn't even started yet, but we've already held more than a dozen combat meetings, and people are nagging about the same few things over and over again. Even if you're not tired, I'm almost dying of exhaustion.

I don’t know what Yan Laoxi is thinking. If the Japanese scouts find out that we are in frequent contact, they will probably smell something.

However, I have come to some conclusions in the past two days: the Nationalist army talks too much nonsense during the war, but the food is really good."

Seeing Chen Yan chattering endlessly, the commander glared at him and walked away.

After Chen Yan returned to the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hurried over.

"Chen'er, are there any new arrangements for today's joint meeting?"

"Bullshit, it's still the same old story, I almost vomited after hearing this.

You two came at the right time. Let's have a meeting and redeploy the battle plan for Guanjia Nao Arsenal."

Zhao Gang was hesitant, "What do you mean?

Joint operations, you don't intend to fight according to the theater order? ".

"It's nonsense for Old Man Yan to ask us to defend the armory for three days, unless our heads are stuck in the door.

With the way he plays, if he makes a mistake, he could easily get himself in trouble.

I won’t do a business that will make me lose money, or I might end up with no way out.”

Seeing the uneasiness written all over Zhao Gang's face, Chen Yan comforted him:

"Don't worry, the leader has hinted to me that we, the Eighth Route Army, are not the stupid sons of his landlord."

Li Yunlong quickly took out the battle map and the three of them began to study it.

"My two brothers, according to the combat intelligence provided by the National Army this time, there are about 600 defenders in the Guanjia Nao arsenal. Once our troops engage in battle with the Japanese devils at the arsenal, we will also need to head-on resist the Japanese troops in Yuci and Sanyuanshi."

Li Yunlong: “???”.

"What should we do with the Japanese troops coming to our rescue from Nanyang?"

“There are 1800 soldiers defending Nanyang County.

The Operations Department of the Second War Zone analyzed that if a fight breaks out here, Nanyang will probably send 800-1000 Japanese troops to support us; in addition, Yuci and Sanyuanshi will send 300 and 500 Japanese troops respectively.

Considering the pressure on our side, Yan Laoxi is preparing to dispatch the 6st Regiment of the New th Brigade to support our troops and build a defense line in the Nanling area, that is, on the main road from Nanyang to Guanjia Nao, to prevent the Japanese troops from reinforcing Nanyang.

Zhao Gang: "When did Mr. Yan become so considerate?"

"He has to be considerate! What the bald guy wants is a great victory to demonstrate the combat effectiveness of the national army and give an explanation to the people of the whole country. Yan Laoxi's KPI indicator is very high this time."

"Chen'er, according to what you said, our group will be much more relaxed.

It is estimated that there are about 1400 enemies facing us head-on. We now have 1800 people in our regiment, plus the county brigade and district squad below, so we can have 3000 people. This is not difficult."

Chen Yan didn't say anything, but he was still a little uneasy inside. He was worried that the new 6th Brigade would not be able to withstand the Nanyang devils.

At the combat meeting, Chen Yan met Wang Hu, the commander of the 6st Regiment of the new th Brigade. As his name suggests, Wang Hu was a righteous man. His weathered face and calluses on his chin showed that he was an officer who had worked his way up from the bottom.

However, when chatting with him, Chen Yan learned that the equipment of the new 6th Brigade was really not very good. If in Yan Laoxi's eyes, the 358th Regiment was the eldest son, the new 6th Brigade was not even a godson, at most a child bride.

There are only 6 people in the first regiment of the new 1000th Brigade, and the entire regiment has only ten mortars, which cannot be too bad.

Chen Yan quickly collected his thoughts and continued the meeting.

"Lao Li, Lao Zhao, in this battle I intend to adopt our army's old method of surrounding a point and attacking its reinforcements.

You two see, there is a valley between Guanjia Nao and Yuci. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Old Zhao, you take the second battalion and 500 militiamen to ambush here and defend it to the death.

Although Yuci is a strategic location for the Japanese army, you don't have to worry at all. Once the fighting breaks out in Nanyang City, Yuci will definitely focus on supporting Nanyang, and you will only face at most 300 Japanese troops in front of you.

Lao Li, you and Da Biao will lead the first battalion and the rest of the militia to stop the 500 Japanese troops in Sanyuanshi. I heard that these Japanese troops are veterans from Nanjing, so you are under a bit of pressure. "

This time I am taking the Special Operations Battalion, the Cavalry Company and the Third Battalion with me. I will seize the arsenal as quickly as possible and then send troops to support you."

Li Yunlong had a keen eye and said, "Chen'er, I think there is no problem with our tactical arrangement, but can the new 6th Brigade of the National Army withstand the reinforcements from Nanyang?"

There was a strange light in Chen Yan's eyes, "Li Yunlong is Li Yunlong, he hit the pain point right away."

"Let's follow the combat deployment first. You two don't have to worry about Nanyang. Leave it to me."

According to the old rules of the independent regiment, three reconnaissance missions are required before a battle to thoroughly understand the enemy's troop deployment and battlefield environment, even requiring detailed information on daily routines, meals, shift changes, and other details.

......

The time for the battle came in a blink of an eye, and Chen Yan led his team to hide in the bushes outside Guanjianao's arsenal.

Chen Yan glanced at his watch. It was 3:28 in the morning. The battle was expected to start at 3:30.

"According to the pre-war plan, the third battalion was responsible for launching a feint attack, and the firepower assault company conducted firepower tests. The feint attack lasted for 4 hours and completely attracted the Japanese reinforcements.

The monk led the special reconnaissance company and tried to find a way to make a roundabout way. After succeeding, he fired a flare.

Seeing the signal flare, the cavalry was responsible for opening the gap. Li San led the mountain combat company to launch a forced assault, the firepower assault company provided fire cover, and the third battalion followed closely behind and rushed in at one go.

Did everyone understand?"

The war was about to begin, Chen Yan's face was solemn and his eyes were sharp.

The officers and soldiers of each team said in unison: "Understood."

Chen Yan had just said that the cavalry was responsible for opening the gap, but there was no sign of the cavalry captain Sun Desheng. At this time, Sun Desheng was galloping along according to Chen Yan's orders.

At Chen Yan's command, the Third Battalion began a feint attack, coupled with the company's powerful firepower test.

After one wave of attacks, the frightened Japanese in the armory quickly asked for help.

"Moses Moses, we are under attack by an unknown enemy, at least a regiment of the Chinese army. Please come to support us as soon as possible."

An hour later, Chen Yan asked Zhuzi to reduce the frequency of fire probing. Sporadic mortar shells exploded into the devil's yard, raising clouds of dust without causing any harm.

Normally, this kind of battle would be fought with dry food prepared in advance.

But this time Chen Yan was not panicked at all. This battle was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

To put it bluntly, apart from the three-story turret at the door which is a bit intimidating, the rest of this broken arsenal is as easy as entering his own backyard in Chen Yan's opinion.

Therefore, Chen Yan also brought the kitchen team here today.

"Fatty Wang, cook quickly. Then steam a few buns for me and cook some millet porridge. I have a bad stomach."

The Japanese lieutenant in the artillery tower was looking through a telescope when he saw smoke rising from the Eighth Route Army's position, and he was very confused.

Turning the telescope, his eyes widened:

"Damn it! They actually made a fire and cooked on the battlefield."

"Major, do you think there is something fishy here? They are so careless. Aren't they afraid of our reinforcements?"

"No, watching them eat makes me a little hungry too."
