"A large number of civilians were relocated from this uninhabited area of hundreds of kilometers. Some civilians were unwilling to relocate and were killed on the spot by the Japanese and puppet troops. According to the information sent back by the reconnaissance company I sent out, this large-scale relocation operation in the uninhabited area caused tens of thousands of deaths and injuries to civilians. The Japanese have added another blood debt!"
"I agree with the college students' plan of attacking instead of defending. Now the no-man's land is full of devils and puppet troops. We don't have to be afraid of hurting civilians when we attack. This time we should teach these damn devils and puppet troops a lesson and avenge the dead civilians!"
Li Yunlong also expressed his support, "College student, I agree to start Operation Plan No. 3. This time, the two of us almost died in the hands of Yamamoto's special forces. We must retaliate and let the devils know that we are not easy to bully!"
"Our air force has never fought a battle before. This is a good opportunity to train. It's snowy and icy outside, and the roads are very muddy. Even if the Japanese want to send reinforcements, it will be difficult to do so in a short period of time. We can use the puppet army to train and let the new recruits see blood. There are many of these damn puppet soldiers who are wholeheartedly working for the Japanese. We must not be soft-hearted at this time and must severely eliminate a group of them!"
"If I were able to move now, I would definitely lead the troops to fight. This time, I will be responsible for defending the base, Lao Ding and Lao Kong will be responsible for attacking the devils, Lao Zhao will be responsible for logistics, and you, the college student, will be responsible for commanding the air force fighter squadron. It's a good opportunity to give the devils a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood, and vent the anger in your heart!"
Ding Wei had no intention of objecting. He had too many new recruits under his command. If he didn't seize the time and let them experience some battles, they might really flee before the battle if they really encountered a large-scale attack by the Japanese.
"I also agree with the college students' proposal. We have too many new recruits now. Many of them only fired 20 or so shots during target practice. The rest of the time they just cleaned their guns and did some queue training. Their combat effectiveness is frighteningly weak. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are a mob."
Kong Jie did not object and expressed his support, "I also agree to launch an attack in advance. The morale of the soldiers below is a little low now. If we want to boost their morale, we must win more battles. We have not made any moves for several months, and we have even started doing business with the devils. This will easily make the soldiers have bad associations and think that we have surrendered to the devils?"
"Our proactive attack this time is not only to clear our name, but also to train our troops. In addition, the enemy's large force cannot send reinforcements in time, so this is a very good opportunity for us. It would be a pity to miss it!"
Lin Zhenhua's proposal was supported by everyone, and then everyone began to discuss where to attack and which troops to mobilize. When everyone had almost arranged everything, Lin Zhenhua added at the right time: "Old Li, your plan is very perfect, and the chance of success is very high, but I found that you have a big misunderstanding in the use of armored forces and fighter squadrons."
"Armored units are not used for offensive operations, but for penetration operations. We don't have many armored units now, so we must not disperse them, but use them in a concentrated manner. Only in this way can we achieve victory in the shortest possible time."
"The fighter squadron will also serve as the main force of this attack, providing air support for the attacking forces. At the same time, the 25 kg bombs mounted under their bellies can be used to destroy the enemy's artillery towers and checkpoints. We don't need to use large-caliber heavy artillery at all."
"We are now conducting air-ground integrated combat, that is, the attacks on land and air must be coordinated and cooperated with each other to jointly launch attacks on the puppet army strongholds and the devil's strongholds. Don't think that the battle in front of you is small and don't take it seriously. On the contrary, we should take it more seriously. Even if there is a problem with coordination, we can fight again if we fail, and it will not bring bad consequences. This is a very good opportunity to hone our skills. Air-ground coordination and infantry-tank coordination are the directions we need to train. One actual combat will be better than the effect of ten training sessions we usually have. This opportunity in front of us must not be missed. We must take the opportunity to temper the troops and train an iron army!"
Li Yunlong thought Lin Zhenhua's idea was very bold. He actually planned to train by fighting. This made his eyes light up. He slapped the wooden bed heavily, accidentally touching his wound. He agreed with a grimace of pain: "College student, your idea of training by fighting is very good. The effect of our simulated training ground is still not as good as the effect of battlefield training. I agree with your proposal. We must train the 20,000 troops in our hands. Even if there are some losses in the battle, it is acceptable. As long as there is a war, there will be losses. This is something that no one can avoid."
"Today is December 12th. The time for the attack is set for two days later. On December 26th, eight battalions with 12 people will be dispatched to attack the first blockade line of the Japanese. If everything goes well, it will only take ten days for us to destroy all three blockade lines of the Japanese. After that, we will turn around and attack Ping'an County."
"I didn't just speak rashly when I attacked Ping'an County. I have a deep plan. Ping'an County is a nail rooted near our base, and we must pull it out. You don't have to be too shocked. I know that with our current strength, it is impossible to occupy Ping'an County, but we can obtain a large amount of supplies from Ping'an County. You should know that in order to trade with us, the Japanese used Ping'an County as their largest transfer station for supplies."
"Since the Japanese started the supply blockade plan, the supplies stored in Ping'an County should have been transported to other places. However, this sudden heavy snow has made it impossible for those damn merchants to transport the supplies. This is definitely a great opportunity for us. These damn merchants have a close relationship with the Japanese and have done all kinds of bad things on a daily basis. It's time to settle accounts with them!"
"There are three major benefits to taking over Ping'an County. The first benefit is that we can obtain a large amount of supplies to strengthen the material reserves of our base. The second benefit is that with Ping'an County as a bridgehead, we can temporarily break the Japanese's material blockade and take this opportunity to purchase a large amount from outside to replenish the insufficient supplies. The third benefit is to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns, let the troops really experience a bloody battle, fight with the Japanese garrison troops in advance, and use them as a whetstone. In this way, when the Japanese dispatch the main force to attack, the soldiers below will no longer be afraid!"
Li Yunlong's proposal was not recognized by everyone present, at least Zhao Gang was against it. He felt that the timing was not right. Fighting the puppet army with the current combat effectiveness of the troops was a little worrying. If they really attacked the county town occupied by the Japanese head-on, it would be really unreliable.
The atmosphere in the Ping'an County Garrison Battalion Command was a little stagnant. The defeat of Kojiro Hirata and Ikki Yamamoto made everyone look very ugly. At the same time, they also had great doubts about the combat effectiveness of the special forces. Until now, they could not believe that hundreds of special forces members could not even wipe out the small team of more than 20 people led by Li Yunlong. This was really ridiculous.
"Hirata-kun, are you sure you are not joking? Your troops are five times that of the enemy, and the firepower of both sides is almost the same, but you still failed to kill Li Yunlong. I can't believe my ears. Don't think that I am being sarcastic, but the special forces team is hyped up. Even if the performance is a little inflated, it shouldn't be this bad. Even if Colonel Kurofuji dispatched half of the guard squadron, the performance would be more brilliant than this. I really can't say any more. In short, I am very disappointed in you two." Ichiro Nakamura accused with contempt on his face.
Colonel Kurofuji did not accuse the two men on the spot. After carefully asking about the battle, his face became gloomy. He felt that Nakamura Ichiro's words just now were a bit ironic. He wanted to stand up and speak for the two men, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. After all, Nakamura Ichiro was right in one point. Even with the advantage of numbers and surprise attack, he still couldn't take down a small team of more than 20 people. There was really no point to refute.
Mitsui Taro cleared his throat and deliberately changed the subject: "The actions of Hirata-kun and Yamamoto-kun this time have confirmed one thing for us, that is, the first bombing of the mainland was indeed done by the Independent Regiment. We need to report this matter to the Taiyuan Command immediately and request the Commander to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the Independent Regiment. I believe that everyone present should have no objection to this!"
"As for the two's failure, there is really nothing to blame. Their failure this time was caused by many reasons. It's really not because they didn't try their best!"
Hirata Kojiro gave Mitsui Taro a grateful look and said in defeat, "Yamamoto-kun and I don't want to explain this failure. I want to remind everyone that the independent regiment's air force has already acquired preliminary combat effectiveness. We must remind Commander Shinozuka Yoshio to be more careful."
"We have always looked down on the independent regiment, thinking that they have recruited too many new soldiers and are a complete mob. We wanted to use a material blockade to wear them out in the base, but now the blockade plan is likely to be abandoned by the headquarters, and all our previous preparations will be in vain."
"Once we go to war with the Independent Regiment, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to obtain the six drug production lines of the Independent Regiment. I'm not exaggerating. I believe everyone here knows that I'm telling the truth. This time we really shot ourselves in the foot. We spent a huge price to build an uninhabited area, which was completely useless and a waste of manpower and financial resources. The money and food looted from the Chinese people can't make up for our losses at all..."
Before Hirata Kojiro could continue, Nakamura Ichiro sneered and said, "Hirata-kun, don't be so ungrateful. Those Chinese people we drove away have now been sent to mines, even the children. We didn't suffer any loss in the no-man's land, but made a lot of money. The previous military rations gap has also been made up by us, and this is all real!"
