Chapter 866
Since getting to know Tian Kezhi, Zhao Zhiguo has had great hopes for Tian Kezhi.
I was young and returned from studying abroad.
Tian Kezhi looks weak on the surface, but he also has the backbone of a scholar.
After following Zhao Zhiguo for so long, he played the role of a military advisor and had never led an army in a battle.
This time Zhao Zhiguo handed over such an important task to Tian Kezhi, but Tian Kezhi himself felt unsure.
"Yes, these are all new recruits. They lack combat experience and there are no officers who can help Tian Kezhi."
As the deputy captain, Gao Cang cannot play the same role as Zhao Zhiguo, but his more than ten years of military career makes him like a big brother in the army.
"When these new recruits are actually allowed to fight, it means that the veterans under your two hands, Gao Cang and Qin Dongsheng, are almost as good as each other. Do you think I will let the battle develop to this level?"
It is impossible for Zhao Zhiguo to kill all his elite troops in order to eliminate a Japanese regiment.
The old soldier is the old hen in Zhao Zhiguo's hands. As long as the old hen is around, he can hatch one nest after another of chicks.
If the bones and blood of one's troops were wiped out in one battle, how would one have to contend with the Japanese army in the future?
"Captain, I understand you! This operation also allows the recruits to experience a real battlefield."
"Yes, there is a huge difference between the training ground and the real battlefield. No matter how much training you have, why not take it out and try it." Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile, "Let's all prepare. Weapons and ammunition have been distributed to each company and platoon, and they can be ready at any time.
The order to set off, Yao Pengju stayed behind!"
If the little devil is building a plank road in the mountains, he will definitely not send everyone to the bottom of the cliff.
The Japanese army must have been prepared to be discovered by Zhao Zhiguo, setting up sentries and building fortifications around their troops.
If you want to destroy the plank road built by the Japanese army, you can't just send troops there and set fire to it.
A regiment of Japanese soldiers must have made all defensive preparations around their troops, making it difficult for them to approach.
In order to carry out Zhao Zhiguo's plan, they must destroy the plank road and drive all the little devils into the valley.
"I left two groups of soldiers to monitor the Japanese army. According to what we detected, the Japanese army is mainly distributed in this area. A brigade of troops is deployed here, which is close to our station, obviously to guard against us.
, another brigade is at the rear to protect their retreat."
The captain of the Little Japanese Army knew the importance of their retreat and allocated one-third of his troops to ensure the safety of their retreat.
"In other words, even if we can successfully cut off and destroy the plank road, we can only trap two-thirds of the Japanese army at most!"
Zhao Zhiguo thought about it carefully.
If they cannot drive all the Japanese troops into the valley, the Japanese troops can attack Zhao Zhiguo from both sides. At that time, the Japanese troops can escape quickly without sending additional reinforcements.
"The strength of the three Japanese brigades can support and take care of each other. If they are not restricted together, it will be difficult for us to cause some casualties to them."
Yao Pengju has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has participated in all kinds of battles, and he also has his own opinions on how to rank and form formations.
"If I were the captain of the Japanese army, I would definitely deploy troops at the commanding heights above the first cliff and around it. It doesn't need to be more. One small detachment is enough."
Zhao Zhiguo nodded silently. It was impossible for the Japanese troops to gather together and wait for them to fight.
Moreover, if this Japanese army is on the march and blocks the front and rear, the Japanese army will have no way to go.
The strength of a Japanese regiment can control a large range of firepower. The larger the range, the greater the difficulty for Zhao Zhiguo to besiege them.
Even if they can cause some casualties to the Japanese army in the early stage of harassment, they will not have much impact on the Japanese army.
"We have to think of a way to get all the troops of this Japanese army over a cliff!"
The terrain must be used to trap the Japanese army. Even if there is only one Japanese brigade above the cliff, Zhao Zhiguo and the others will not be able to carry out the plan.
"Captain, this is going to be difficult. Even if we concentrate our forces, we won't be able to attack them when they have all the advantageous terrain."
This Japanese brigade is dedicated to rear-line work. Their troops have been deployed and their positions have been occupied.
If they wanted to attack by force, even if the Japanese troops of the other two brigades did not support them, Zhao Zhiguo and the others would have to pay huge casualties to capture them.
If too many casualties are incurred, the next plan will not be implemented.
"How are the Japanese army's logistics?"
The Japanese army's logistics force has always been the weak point of the Japanese army.
As long as we seize the weaknesses of the Japanese army, we will have the opportunity to find a breakthrough.
"The Japanese army also relies on the strength of this brigade to transport supplies. Even if our attack is successful, they will not be able to approach the valley, but will approach the road."
Cutting off the Japanese army's logistical supplies, the Japanese army in this brigade was even less likely to seek death.
"How about we attack the Japanese army at the rear first? As long as the plank road is burned down, the Japanese army at the rear can support their large army, but it will be difficult for their large army to support the army at the rear."
"In other words, destroying the plank road and cutting off the Japanese army's supplies must be carried out at the same time?"
"You can destroy the plank road first and then cut off the Japanese army's supplies, but what if the plank road is destroyed under the layers of protection of the Japanese army?"
The Japanese army had a squadron of troops guarding each one above and below the cliff.
Even if the special forces can disguise themselves as Japanese troops, these Japanese troops belong to the same regiment and it is difficult to blend in.
It is almost impossible to get close to the Japanese plank road.
"How about we give it a try?" Yao Pengju said.
Wealth can be found in danger, and someone has to take the risk in a war. If you want to live a peaceful life, go home and be an obedient citizen.
Yao Pengju is a typical person who wants to go wherever there is excitement. When a task seems impossible to complete, the more he wants to go.
Zhao Zhiguo shook his head: "This time is different from the past. In the past, almost all the places you penetrated were frequently mobilized by Japanese troops. There were several Japanese troop numbers in one area, so you were able to get through."
This time it was different. There was only one Japanese army unit. They had not yet figured out the number of the Japanese army unit, and they did not know who the Japanese army captain was. It would not be easy to fool them.
"Captain, I think it's simple. When the time comes, you can ask Gao Cang to harass the Japanese army. It's not impossible for us to get closer while it's dark."
Yao Pengju is bold and careful in his work. As long as he is given a chance, he can find every opportunity.
As long as the Japanese army's attention is diverted, they will have the opportunity to approach the plank road built by the Japanese army.
