Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

Two days later.

Outskirts of Gejia Town.

At this time, Lu Zhixian had already led the anti-Japanese battalion soldiers to arrive here.

Three standard infantry companies of 120 people, a mortar platoon of 40 people, and a special operations team of 30 people.

A total of 430 people!

After all, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese squadron is much stronger than that of ordinary troops. In order to avoid more damage as much as possible, except for a small number of soldiers who need to guard the Black Cloud Village, this operation can be said to be full of elite troops.

"Battalion Commander!"

Wei Dayong whispered while lying on a hillside: "This Gejia Town looks like a tough nut to crack!"

"That's right!"

Lu Zhixian nodded and sighed: "No wonder the Japanese dare to act so recklessly here!"

Looking from this side.

It is easy to see that the Japanese have set up a large number of towers and sentries around, and there are even bunkers for defense near the market town. If you want to attack by force, you may have to pay a heavy price.

Thinking of this, even he couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the Japanese dare to act so recklessly here."

"Battalion Commander!"

At this time, Lei Zhan, who was wearing camouflage special operations uniform, said confidently: "These outposts on the periphery will be handed over to our special operations team, and we will take them all out when the time comes!"

When he said this, everyone around looked at the special operations team at the same time.

The special operations team in front of them all wore black M1 helmets, bulletproof vests, and high-top combat boots. They held M3 submachine guns in their hands, Browning pistols on their waists, and tactical daggers on the outside of their thighs. A few, such as Shunliu, even had sniper rifles with high-power scopes. The whole team looked really eye-catching.

"No!"

However, Lu Zhixian waved his hand and said, "You have only trained for a few days, and you want to get rich overnight?"

"Battalion Commander!"

Lei Zhan disagreed and said, "If we didn't have these equipment before, then I didn't say anything. But now it's just to eliminate those outposts outside. As long as the weather is good, it's nothing for our special forces! Besides, the special forces can only become a battle-hardened team after being tempered by blood and fire."

"Okay!"

Lu Zhixian thought about it and finally nodded.

Of course, he quickly added: "It's okay to eliminate the outposts outside, but to deal with the devil squadron, we still have to give them a hard job."

"Battalion Commander, do you have a solution?"

"Yeah."

Lu Zhixian smiled and nodded.

...

Mishanao.

The temporary headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"Chief!"

The chief of staff standing over there said in a deep voice: "We have just received intelligence from comrades from all over the country. The Japanese have been moving frequently in Jin Province recently. There are signs of movement in Jingyang, Hegu, Shangluo and other places. In addition, the traffic of materials on major transportation routes is much more than before. It seems that the Japanese are going to move again."

"Yes!"

The commander scanned the map and said solemnly: "Some time ago, our Eighth Route Army destroyed many major transportation routes of the Japanese, causing them great trouble. With the Japanese's revengeful style, how can they bear this breath? I estimate that in the next three months, the Japanese will definitely come for a large-scale sweep again."

"So fast?"

"Only faster, not slower."

The commander looked solemn.

The chief of staff always admired the judgment of his commander, but at this time he still had some doubts: "Commander! It's winter after all. How dare the devils take action at this time?"

"The situation of the army is unpredictable, and the shape of water is unpredictable!"

The commander waved his hand and said seriously: "The winter is not conducive to large-scale military operations, but this disadvantage is the same for both sides. We are now short of material resources, and weapons and ammunition were consumed a lot in the previous military operations. Now we have not received effective supplies at all. If the devils really take action at this time, it can have an unexpected effect, and it is possible that they will suffer heavy losses."

"Then how What should we do? "

"In fact, as long as we can find out the movements of the devils, we don't have to worry too much."

"What the chief means is--"

"Look!"

The commander suddenly pointed to a certain location on the map and said again: "The devils now occupy the main towns in Shanxi Province, relying on various traffic arteries to attack our anti-Japanese forces. Now from this map, the devils, our Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi Suiyuan Army have infiltrated each other and are intertwined, but if the devils want to use large-scale troops, they must occupy the bridgehead position. "

"Gejia Town!"

The chief of staff quickly understood what the commander meant.

"That's right! It's Gejia Town!"

The commander threw the pencil in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The strategic location of this place is extremely important. It is not only a transportation station for the Zhengtai Railway, but also its strategic salient! Bypassing the large tracts of mountains and forests in the south,Whether it is to the west or the east, we can use large-scale troops. If I were the commander of the Japanese, I would use this as a bridgehead for any action! On the contrary, if our army can take this place, we will be much more relaxed even if we encounter the Japanese clearance. "

"But-"

"But what?"

"Commander!"

The chief of staff said with some embarrassment: "As far as I know, the Japanese have built a lot of towers and bunkers in Gejia Town earlier, and set up a large number of secret sentries along the way. With the lack of heavy weapons in our army, not to mention that we can't get close to Gejia Town at all, even if we can really break in, I'm afraid we may not be able to take it down!"

"Yes!"

The commander looked a little ugly, gritted his teeth and said: "It would be great if there were more heavy weapons! "

This is indeed true.

Although the Eighth Route Army has grown rapidly in strength in recent years, heavy weapons are still its biggest weakness.

So far, the three divisions of the entire army have only 38 mountain guns, 9 flat-fire guns, and 156 mortars. Among them, mountain guns and flat-fire guns are concentrated in the artillery units directly under the military regions. The best equipment of each infantry regiment is the mortar, and these mortars that other forces may not be interested in have to be divided among the 160 combat regiments of the entire army.

Each combat regiment can only get one or two at most, and some new recruits with poorer equipment don't even have one! (The data source is real.)

"Report!"

Just then a signalman came in a hurry.

"Say."

"According to the intelligence sent back by the scouts in the front, the devil suddenly had an elite squadron stationed in Gejia Town two days ago. Its purpose is currently unclear."

"The devil has increased its troops! "

The two of them changed their expressions when they heard this.

The commander said in a deep voice: "Humph! It seems that the Japanese will make a big move next! The reason why only one squadron was sent this time is probably just to avoid alerting the enemy."

"What should we do next?"

"Since the Japanese have made a move, we can't just sit there and wait for death! We must do our best to take this place! Whose troops are nearby?"

"Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment."

"Li Yunlong?"

The commander's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said: "Okay! Li Yunlong is a guy with many tricks in fighting, so he's the one! Pass on my order, let the New 1st Regiment organize forces to completely wipe out this squadron of Japanese, and completely destroy the Japanese's transportation network and bunkers and dark buildings here. I want to keep track of the Japanese movements along the Gejia Town at any time!"

"Yes, Chief!"

"Move the two flat-firing cannons from the headquarters over! "

The commander thought about it and finally added another sentence.
