Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

"We are not afraid that the Japanese will know that our independent field detachment has mechanized combat units, and even tank units and armored units.

The desired effect is to scare the enemy with a warning.

As the old saying goes, the truth and the false, the real and the fake, are even more confusing. Now that the news that we have a tank unit has been exposed, we might as well take the initiative to publicize it and say that our independent field detachment has a large-scale purely mechanized armored corps!

To exaggerate a little more, it wouldn't matter if we said we had an armored brigade.

This is called deterring the enemy strategically.

If the Japanese don't believe it, it will serve as a cover for the actions of our secretly built tank unit.

If the devil believes it, it can be used to deter the Japanese army and make them pay attention to our independent field detachment. We can also tie down more Japanese troops in North China."

Kong Jie slowly expressed his thoughts.

Li Yunlong, who was quick-witted, immediately understood what Kong Jie meant and said with a smile:

“I understand what Lao Kong means.

This is what we have been doing over the years.

Including when I was leading the troops, a regiment could only mobilize one battalion due to limited manpower.

Hehe, but our battalion is called the Third Battalion. Why? It is to scare the enemy and make them think that there are the First and Second Battalions ahead!

This time we release the news about the armored corps. No matter whether we have it or not, it will at least scare the Japanese.

After all, we can’t be weak in momentum.”

As for how to deal with the Japanese attack this time, we should use the tank units specially built by the independent field detachment.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei decided to think about it carefully.

After all, the bases of independent field detachments are basically located in mountainous areas, and there are few flat terrains that can fully utilize the advantages of mechanization and tank forces.

But precisely because of this limitation, the Japanese army had no idea that if they could bring into play the advantages of the tank forces, they would definitely be able to catch the Japanese off guard.

Kong Jie said that so far, a total of 60 modified tanks have been built and produced.

Corresponding various heavy machine guns and artillery are basically in place.

We are not fooling the Japanese. With 60 tanks and some slightly strengthened mechanized vehicles and self-propelled artillery, we can really form an armored corps.

But the Japanese probably never imagined all this in their dreams.

In the eyes of the Japs, the Eighth Route Army's military industrial base was backward, and even the production of guns and artillery was already very difficult, let alone tanks.

If the Eighth Route Army really released the news that it had an armored corps, the Japanese would most likely not believe it.

Finally, after discussion, the three decided to cooperate with the tank troops in the following tactical application:

With Li Yunlong's New Second Regiment as the main battlefield, after completely delaying the Japanese army, he used tank troops to make a detour and cut off the Japanese army's rear transportation and logistics lines.

The Japanese's rear position was outside the mountainous area, with relatively flat terrain, which was suitable for the deployment of tank troops.

The most suitable tactic is undoubtedly to use the tank troops' mobility and absolute firepower advantage to completely crush the Japanese army's logistics forces in the rear and destroy the devil's communication and transportation lines.

After the strategic discussion is completed.

Li Yunlong couldn't help but say happily: "I can't help but wonder now, when the Japanese find that a tank unit has bypassed their rear, it will directly cut off their logistics line and kill their rear artillery unit.

What a wonderful look on those little devils' faces!"
