Chapter 147 Take over the stronghold!
Sweeping the strongholds, and doing it on a large scale, was undoubtedly a major test for the expanded cavalry battalion.
Of course.
Qin Hai knew what was going on and had 100% confidence in Lao You and Lao Xu's ability to get things done.
"Leader, don't worry, we promise to complete the task!"
After listening to the leader's instructions,
The two nodded solemnly, their eyes full of seriousness and honor. The fact that the team leader gave this job to them was a recognition of their abilities!
"Okay! Take a break and set off in ten minutes. There is no need to report the attack in advance. Flexibility is the most important thing!"
Qin Hai still has great trust in the two old subordinates who followed him the earliest. They were the first batch of special forces recruited by the system.
Growing with the Guard Regiment, the strength of both of them has greatly improved. No matter whether it is the tank hunter Xu Zhen or the trench warrior Xu Wudi, they were the right-hand men of Captain Lin in the early days of the Guard Battalion.
When it was first established, they made great contributions to the construction of the guard regiment.
"Yes!" The two men saluted Qin Hai, then turned back to the team to prepare for the work before the battle.
Watching the two men's departing backs, the brigade commander's eyes flashed with deep thought. Was Qin Hai's large-scale cleanup operation intended to confuse the enemy?
Why should all the enemy strongholds within a radius of 50 kilometers be wiped out except for those three?
The action is so big, so many strongholds are out of contact, and the area is so wide, wouldn't this alert the enemy even more?
but,
With his many years of experience in leading troops, Commander Chen quickly understood Qin Hai's intentions: "Good boy, you actually used the strategy of confusing the enemy. I was wondering why you wanted to wipe out so many strongholds in one go. It turns out that you wanted to confuse the enemy and completely disrupt their deployment!"
Speaking of this, Brigade Commander Chen was full of emotion. He looked at Qin Hai in front of him and liked him more and more.
If I had known this guy was so capable, I should not have thrown him to the General Logistics Department.
"Haha, old leader saw through my thoughts?" Qin Hai said with a smile.
If we only take down three strongholds, it will certainly alert the enemy, and then the marching route of the main force may be exposed.
However, these three strongholds were right across the road they had to take. If they took a detour, they would probably not be able to reach Ninghai County on time.
Therefore,
Qin Haicai came up with this idea to clear out all the strongholds within a radius of 50 kilometers. So what if it alerted the enemy?
Qin Hai’s plan was to confuse the Japanese and make them unaware of the army’s marching route.
"As for your intention, isn't it obvious? To confuse the enemy and make them confused, isn't that your strategy?" Brigade Commander Chen asked back, but the smile on his lips seemed a little bitter.
"If I had known you were so capable, I should have kept you in a suitable position to train you. Now I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green."
Brigade Commander Chen was full of emotion. He had sent Qin Hai to the General Logistics Department in the first place because he wanted to give Qin Hai a chance and secondly because he hoped Qin Hai could be more obedient.
After all, killing prisoners was illegal and dangerous, and the impact was too bad. In order to minimize this impact, Qin Hai was assigned to the General Logistics Department.
Who could have expected that
This kid has made such a big splash in such a short time in the General Logistics Department. He has suddenly become an expert in leading troops in battle and even accomplished the feat of completely annihilating the Yamazaki Battalion. Such a growth rate is really surprising and frightening.
"Old leader, no matter what I am like, I am the soldier you trained." Qin Hai smiled modestly, but his ridicule made Brigade Commander Chen curl his lips.
"Why don't you go talk to Old Zhang from the General Logistics Department and then come back?" Brigade Commander Chen said jokingly.
"Forget it, I'm a very bold person and I might cause you trouble accidentally. Li Yunlong is enough of a headache for you, and if I'm added to the mix, you won't even be able to clean up the mess by then." Qin Hai said without hesitation, and this teasing also amused Brigade Commander Chen.
"You kid are really brave. When we asked you to go to the logistics department to be the director of a clothing factory, you couldn't sit still. Soon you formed a team. The leaders of the headquarters all said that you are a natural fighter." At this point, Brigade Commander Chen sighed in his heart.
It's growing too fast.
The Guard Corps has only been established for half a year, but it has accomplished what others take several years or even more than ten years to accomplish. How can this not be shocking?
"Haha, no matter how they praise me, I am a soldier trained by you, and you are my old leader. The praises from the superiors are also an honor to you." Qin Hai's comforting words were very helpful to Brigade Commander Chen.
Looking at Qin Hai in front of him, he became more and more satisfied.
"You've made a lot of progress, but your shameless and boastful nature hasn't changed at all." After Commander Chen finished his joking words,
The people around burst into laughter.
"My old leader, you can't say that. I'm much more stable now." Qin Hai smiled bitterly. As everyone exchanged greetings, the atmosphere of the march became much more relaxed and cheerful.
the other side,
Xu Zhen led the second battalion to the stronghold on the only way to go.
The troops were lying in ambush halfway up the mountain. Xu Zhen climbed up and used a telescope to observe the movements in the stronghold.
really,
The stronghold was occupied by puppet troops, and there were quite a few of them. This was just one of the strongholds. A rough glance showed that there were at least more than a hundred people in it.
"Captain Chen, what should we do next?" one of his men asked loudly, looking at the stronghold in the distance.
There are more than a hundred puppet soldiers in this stronghold, so there is no need to concentrate all the cavalry battalions here.
therefore,
Earlier, Xu Zhen and Xu Wudi had divided the work. The first battalion was responsible for the two front strongholds, while Xu Wudi led the cavalry battalion to deal with the two farthest strongholds. After all, the cavalry battalion acted quickly and could suddenly attack the puppet army's garrisons before the strongholds sent out messages.
Xu Zhen raised his wrist to look at his watch and estimated that the cavalry battalion would soon arrive.
By the time,
The First Battalion and the Second Battalion will join forces to attack and try to capture these five strongholds in a short period of time!
now,
The first battalion had a clear division of labor. Xu Zhen and the instructor each led the first and second companies to the other two strongholds, intending to wipe out the puppet troops stationed there in one fell swoop before they could react!
"Wait a little longer!" Xu Zhen glanced at the watch on his wrist and said calmly.
The sun was scorching the earth.
Xu Zhen led the team and all of them lay down on the hillside. At the same time, he kept watching every move in the stronghold through a telescope.
"Find a place to set up mortars and grenade launchers. Don't be stingy with these heavy weapons. Let's try to take down this stronghold with one shot!"
Following Xu Zhen's order, the first company quickly built a temporary mortar position at a suitable location under the scorching sun.
Xu Zhen’s title of tank hunter is not for nothing. No matter where he goes, he always carries a rocket launcher on his shoulder.
"Let the soldiers get ready, the time is almost up. After the first round of shelling, charge forward. Use light machine guns to cover me and suppress the guns in the stronghold!" Xu Zhen continued talking.
