Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#262 - Full counterattack

Pointing towards Huai Zhou.

“We have just almost completely destroyed the little devils' tank division and the heavy weapons of the frontline field divisions. In Ji Zhou, the little devils' heavy weapons are no longer a threat. It just so happens that the military region's artillery regiment is in place, and now our heavy firepower completely overwhelms the little devils.” The brigade commander gathered his five main brigade commanders and the artillery regiment commander, preparing to do something big.

“Now in Ji Zhou, the little devils still have 4 divisions and the remnants of the 6 divisions that escaped back. It is estimated that there are still 60,000 to 70,000 troops. Although the number of troops is large, even exceeding our current strength, our five mechanized infantry brigades have extremely strong firepower, coupled with the overwhelming advantage in tank strength, and our artillery regiment, it is ripe to launch an offensive now, drive the little devils out of Ji Zhou, and then annihilate most of them in the field.”

Hearing that the brigade commander wanted to face the little devils' major counterattack with superior forces, Li Yunlong and the others were not only not afraid, but felt very excited.

The true colors of the little devils have already been revealed. The ones sent out now are basically inferior goods of the little devils.

Although these “inferior goods” are still very tough when encountering ordinary troops, it is their misfortune to face a mechanized infantry brigade.

In addition to 60 tank guns, a mechanized infantry brigade also has a powerful artillery team composed of 54 107 rockets, 75mm mountain guns, and 105mm howitzers, plus a newly arrived independent artillery regiment from the military region, which is equipped with 1 107 rocket artillery battalion and 2 105mm howitzer artillery battalions!

All heavy artillery!

In this way, although each mechanized infantry brigade has only a little over 7,000 troops, and the 5 brigades add up to only over 35,000, which seems to be half the strength of the little devils, the firepower is now completely overwhelming.

Therefore, Li Yunlong and the others did not think that fighting more with less was risky. On the contrary, they felt that this was the right way to think.

Don't passively take a beating. Seize the opportunity to hammer the little devils to death.

“Brigade commander, we estimate that there will be no big problem in driving the little devils out, but if so many little devils want to run away next, I am afraid we don’t have that many troops to split up and pursue them. In this way, it will be difficult for us to expand the results of the battle,” Ding Wei said, frowning as he looked at the map.

“Don’t worry about this. In the next period of time, 10 Group B regiments of reinforcements will arrive one after another. When we take them down, we will hand them over to these people to take on logistics and local defense,” the brigade commander said.

“We are determined to not only defeat the main force of the little devils’ Zero Operation troops in this campaign, but also take the opportunity to seize back all the way from Ji Zhou to Shi Men, and at the same time solve the little devils’ occupation of the entire Ji Zhong land. Now the troops of the Jin-Cha-Ji Ji Zhong Military Region have completed the weapon and equipment work and have begun to secretly sneak back to Ji Zhong. At that time, they will cooperate with us to completely recapture Ji Zhong.”

Hearing that the brigade commander had already prepared for the follow-up problems, and that the brigade commander's big game had been running in advance, everyone had nothing to add.

The current battle situation is completely unpredictable. Originally, it was thought that the little devils were very strong, and it was necessary to exchange land space for time. In fact, it was the idea of abandoning the city and retreating to the countryside to fight guerrilla warfare.

It has always been done this way, but now the conditions are different. After a battle, everyone took a look. Damn, we misjudged it. Everyone is not the kind of person they thought they were.

In this way, everyone is now re-correcting their estimates of the other party's strength.

The brigade commander boldly transformed from the idea of a deep defense and counterattack battle to the idea of taking the initiative to attack!

This change of thinking can be described as fast.

Taiyuan, Jin Province.

Staff Officer Ye took two assistants and conducted a new war game with Ren Zhong.

They are verifying the feasibility of the brigade commander and division commander's counter-offensive strategy.

This time, the division commander and the brigade commander had the same idea, which was to fight out and take down the core bases and other large strongholds that the little devils currently occupy first.

Ren Zhong, as the representative of the little devils, completed this unregulated free war game. According to the intelligence information obtained now, even if Ren Zhong used all his tricks, there is no hope of a comeback now.

Unless the little devils are crazy and mobilize the air force on a large scale!

Or allocate more artillery. Now the decisive battle has almost turned into a key for artillery to determine the outcome of the battlefield!

Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, under the condition that the artillery can hold on!

Now to have this condition, it depends on the tank troops.

Or a very strong anti-tank force.

Can solve all the tanks and armored vehicles and other enemies that rush up.

From the current point of view, the little devils are unsatisfactory. Their strongest anti-tank weapon is the 37mm anti-tank gun. This thing is still seriously insufficient in quantity.

There is no way to form a large area of protection at all. For tanks, it is just a matter of a few shots to directly smash these anti-tank guns!

Isn't it abuse to use a 37mm against a 76mm main gun?

So according to Ren Zhong's idea, the brigade commander and the others have something to do in this battle, but they can't push the little devils too hard. If they push too hard, I'm afraid they will use the common people as shields, which is really terrible for siege warfare.

So to avoid this kind of thing, the brigade commander and the others need to innovate their tactics.

Change the siege battle into a driving battle, drive the little devils out of the city, and then find a way to eliminate these little devils one by one in the wild.

The current situation is that the Eighth Route Army has greatly improved its field combat capabilities. It has super flexible rocket launchers. The resistance of the little devils' light armor is almost zero.

Ji Zhou.

Behind them, there was also a more long-range artillery position that began to fire calibration guns.

This is the military region's artillery regiment's 107 rockets and 105mm howitzers. For the Eighth Route Army, this is the strongest firepower at present, and now this firepower is beginning to exert its power against Ji Zhou City.

The little devils in Ji Zhou City panicked, but there was no way to unify their opinions.

According to the radicals, they should rush out and fight to the death.

However, the conservatives believe that they should abandon the current territory and retreat to the previous large strongholds to preserve their strength, but in this way, there will be rumors of running away. For the conservatives, this does not matter, it is better than losing their lives.

But not much better.

Now Ji Zhou City is besieged inside and out, leaving only the north side for them to escape.

But the little devils know that this is the enemy's open conspiracy, but it is very difficult to refuse such an open conspiracy.
