Heroes of the War of Resistance

It is a pity that the fighters developed by the US military in the early days are still not the opponents of the Japanese Zero fighters.It wasn't until the U.S. military developed a new type of fighter for the Zero that this situation was reversed, and eventually the little devil's air force was hit hard.

Hu Biao, who was aware of these situations, never thought of forming an air force capable of suppressing the Japanese army in a short period of time.In fact, Hu Biao only needs to have such an air force in his hands, and he is very satisfied with the occasional surprise attack on the Japanese army.

Even for the pilots currently sent to Luzon for training, Hu Biao told them to pay more attention to learning the skills of flying bombers and transport aircraft.In terms of fighter jets, Hu Biao really didn't consider buying too many from the US military.

The reason is simple. Even if the U.S. military's main fighters are currently equipped with the Little Devils Zero fighters in the future, it will be difficult to gain an air combat advantage.Now that he knew this, how could Hu Biao spend that wronged money?

In contrast, the bombers and transport aircraft currently developed by the U.S. military still have certain advantages over the little devils in terms of performance.This also means that Hu Biao does not have to worry about being eliminated for some time in the future for these large aircraft purchased now.

Spending the least amount of money and building the most cost-effective air force is Hu Biao's current vision for the air force.As for naval ships, Hu Biao also pays more attention to purchasing conventional submarines with excellent performance, but Hu Biao is not interested in surface ships!

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] The Opportunity of the Independent Group

Looking at Hu Biao who led the task force to arrive, and the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment who had been lying in wait for a long time and turned out to be blind, I still felt somewhat depressed.Compared with other combat troops who seized a large amount of supplies, the independent regiment worked hard for a long time but got nothing.

Fortunately, Hu Biao is really meaningful, knowing that the independent regiment urgently needs weapons and equipment.Pick out some of the weapons and ammunition seized from Wocheng earlier and send them to the Independent Regiment.Everyone in the independent group was very happy about Hu Biao's big gift again.

The head of the group, Sun Weimin, grinned and rubbed his hands together and said, "How embarrassing this is!"

He said he was embarrassed, but Sun Weimin let the troops accept the weapons and ammunition he sent over.This time, they were ordered to come to cooperate with the battle, and the weapons and equipment carried by the independent regiment can be described as extremely shabby.

As soon as he arrived in Wocheng, Hu Biao sent a batch of weapons and ammunition to the independent regiment, and now he sent another batch.With these two batches of weapons and ammunition, nearly half of the troops of the Independence Regiment can change their equipment.Its combat capability has also improved a lot compared to before.

Knowing how virtuous Sun Weimin is, Hu Biao didn't think there was anything wrong.As the saying goes, poor people have short ambitions.As the head of the independent regiment, Sun Weimin is very aware of the importance of weapons and equipment. Is it better to lose face than let his subordinates lose their lives?

Weapons and ammunition often mean life to many officers and soldiers in this era!

Looking at the Japanese reconnaissance planes that disappeared into the sky and the gradually darkening sky, Hu Biao also said directly: "Commander Sun, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest tonight, I plan to take the troops out of Mengcheng , See if you can find an opportunity to attack the city.

If there is an opportunity, I will definitely need some help from your department.If you really want the little devil to react and strengthen your guard, it will become very difficult to regain Mengcheng.Besides, if we don't fight tonight, the troops from the fifth theater will arrive tomorrow. "

"Fight! We have agreed in advance that those little devils stationed in Mengcheng belong to our independent regiment!"

Even though he knew that it would be very difficult to attack Mengcheng, Sun Weimin still knew that if Zhao Chengwu's subordinates really came, even if Mengcheng was recovered, the spoils that the independent regiment could get would be extremely limited.For the independent group, this piece of fat does not want to be given up to others.

Looking at Sun Weimin who was a little emotional, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "Regimental Leader Sun, don't worry, since we made an agreement in advance, then I will naturally abide by the promise. It's just that the little devils in Mengcheng refused to come out, and it would be difficult to deal with them." will become much more difficult.

I have also heard of your army's heroic fighting style without fear of sacrifice.It's just that for me, in order to regain a county, but let your ministry pay too much casualties, I will feel embarrassed after all.Let's wait until Mengcheng to discuss this matter! "

"Okay! Before coming here, the chief has explained that I will fully cooperate with your battle plan. If you say what to do, then do it!"

Such happy words made Hu Biao feel a little bit of pressure.In a sense, the Eighth Route Army trusted Hu Biao even more.Of course, this kind of trust is more due to the long-term cooperation, which has greatly benefited the Eighth Route Army.

The drug trade that is still going on at present alone has significantly reduced the number of casualties of the Eighth Route Army.Even with the ever-increasing volume of drug transactions, the Eighth Route Army has earned a lot of profits, which can be used to subsidize the expenses of the troops.

In particular, the mechanical equipment and radio stations that Hu Biao traded with the Eighth Route Army last time made the heads of the Eighth Route Army headquarters even more happy.The arsenal behind enemy lines, which is being secretly prepared, has these mechanical equipment, and the speed of gun manufacturing has increased linearly with the level.

The traded radio station also made the communication between the headquarters and the various troops much smoother.The benefits of smooth communication are obvious, and the connection between the divisions, brigades and regiments of the Eighth Route Army has become more smooth and timely.

The Japanese troops currently stationed in North China and Shanxi seem to have sensed the threat of the Eighth Route Army, and they have continued to intensify their raids on the Eighth Route Army's bases behind enemy lines.The popularity of radio stations to combat units at the regiment level is also conducive to the mobilization of troops at any time.

Converging with the independent regiment that set up an ambush in the border area between Mengcheng and Wocheng, Hu Biao and his party rushed to the vicinity of Mengcheng.After arriving at the destination, Hu Biao ordered the independent regiment to take a rest and began to bury the pot and cook to replenish their strength.

Taking advantage of the time when the troops were resting, Hu Biao led the platoon of guards who were always on the left and right, and together with Sun Weimin came outside the closed gate of Mengcheng, and began to look at the city defense deployment of Mengcheng, thinking about how to take the city.

Sun Weimin, who accompanied the reconnaissance, looked at the Japanese soldiers walking back and forth on the top of the city, and the machine gun positions that were still visible under the lights, and said with some headaches: "Mr. It's not easy!"

"It's okay! As far as I'm concerned, I never thought of storming the county where the little devil is stationed. In fact, my reconnaissance team has sneaked into the city and is finding out the deployment of the defenders in the city. Look at this posture, little devil Many troops were deployed on the city.

According to the information I have obtained earlier, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Mengcheng is about the same as that in Wocheng.As long as the little devils in the city are severely injured, the remaining puppet troops who cooperate with the defenders should not be able to make a big wave! "

Hearing that Hu Biao had already made arrangements, Sun Weimin was very surprised and said: "Mr. Hu, did you guess before that the little devils in the city would not come out to reinforce? If this is the case, why did you ask me to lead the troops to set up an ambush outside the city?"

"I'm not Zhuge Liang, so how can I be exhaustive? It's just that when I make a battle plan, I always imagine some unexpected situations in advance. Even if the little devils in the city are ambushed when they go out of the city, don't they need information if they want to take this county?"

Do a few more preparations for everything, this is the principle that Hu Biao will strictly follow every time he formulates a battle plan.When he and the independent group arrived outside the city, Xu Sandao, who was one step ahead, had already entered the city to join the reconnaissance team.

Now leading people to scout the city defense is more to confirm how many troops the Japanese and puppet troops in the city have deployed on the city wall.The more troops deployed on the city wall, it means that the little devil's defense vigilance to the city may be lowered.

A combat plan similar to this night attack has been implemented by the task force many times.If it is a large county, you can always find the little devil's defense loopholes.As long as they successfully sneak into the city, the reconnaissance team will be able to find opportunities for sneak attacks.

When Hu Biao took Sun Weimin and others to reconnaissance outside the city, Zheng Jingwu, who had sent a report to the reconnaissance team before, quickly came with a translated telegram and saluted: "Detachment leader, the reconnaissance team sent you a message." telegraph!"

"Okay! Give it to me!"

After receiving the telegram and looking at it carefully, Hu Biao said with a smile: "Commander Sun, it seems that our judgment is not bad. The little devils who were originally stationed in Mengcheng were planning to send troops to Wocheng for rescue, but then they canceled it. rescue plan.

It seems that the little devil here should have received an order from the commander of the little devil to stick to Mengcheng and worry about being ambushed by us.Most of the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Mengcheng have been deployed on the city wall tonight.

Let's go, let's go back to the camp first. Depending on the time, the meals should be almost ready.Wait a minute, while we eat, we will figure out how to take down Mengcheng before dawn.Really wait until tomorrow, it is estimated that the situation will change! "

"it is good!"

As far as Sun Weimin is concerned, he is also very curious about how Hu Biao will break through the Mengcheng guarded by thousands of Japanese puppet troops next.At least with the strength of the independent regiment, Sun Weimin really couldn't think of how to capture Mengcheng in a short time.

Facing this kind of little devil with a solid city defense as a backing, an independent regiment lacking offensive weapons, unless it is really filled with human life.Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to win such a fortified city.

On the other hand, the independent regiment commanded by Hu Biao successively captured two counties, Haozhou and Guocheng, in just a few days.Sun Weimin, who has always been inexperienced in sieges, felt that he might be able to learn a lot this time.

At least one thing Sun Weimin saw very clearly, that is, the combat troops brought by Hu Biao should be much stronger than the independent regiment under his command in terms of discipline and combat experience.The only surprise was that Hu Biao didn't bring many troops.

Having talked with Peng Yufeng earlier, Sun Weimin also knows that Hu Biao is very good at hiding his strength.If you really want to find out the details of Hu Biao, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to do.Even if he was curious, Sun Weimin would not ask about such a sensitive matter.

Back at the temporary camp where they were resting, food was ordered and placed on the dining table where several ammunition boxes were stacked. Hu Biao and Sun Weimin discussed the next siege plan while eating.To put it bluntly, this plan is still a combination of inside and outside.

Next, the independent regiment launched a feint attack to attract and contain the Japanese and puppet troops in the city, so that the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall did not dare to leave at will.And Hu Biao led the task force under his command to find the right opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army in the city.

As long as the command system of the little devils in the city is destroyed, both Hu Biao and Sun Weimin believe that the remaining puppet troops will collapse without a fight.Even if the surviving little devils resisted to the end, they still could not resist the joint attack of the independent regiment and the task force.

Considering the little devils in the city, there is also an artillery unit equipped with several infantry cannons.Hu Biao quickly said: "Commander Sun, among the troops you brought, are there any fighters who can operate the little devil's artillery?"

"Mr. Hu, did you bring artillery here? In our independent regiment, there are not many soldiers who can operate artillery. You also know that even if our Eighth Route Army captures artillery on the battlefield, it will be handed over to the top in many cases. There are very few artillery at the regiment level. .”

"How about this! I will transfer a squad from my guard platoon later, and you can pick some soldiers who know how to operate artillery, and cooperate with them to contain the little devil's artillery in the city. As long as the little devil dares to fire back, I will have a way to completely destroy it .

Moreover, even if rifles and machine guns suppressed the little devil on the city wall, it would be difficult to make the little devil nervous.Only the use of artillery will make the Japanese and puppet troops in the city feel the pressure.When Mengcheng is taken down, the captured artillery can give you a few! "

Hearing this, Sun Weimin also smiled and said: "Okay! I never think too little of artillery. Hehe, before coming here, the superior chief also said that all the weapons and equipment seized here can be used without handing them in." to expand the army.

If an artillery unit can really be formed, my independent regiment may not be long before it can also be expanded into an independent brigade.If there is such an opportunity, I believe those guys in the brigade will be envious to death! "

Compared with other recognized regiment-level troops with a formal establishment, the independent regiment commanded by Sun Weimin is not recognized by the national army at all.Combat troops like this, although they are also called the main force, are mostly in name only.

If you want to truly qualify as the main force, it depends on whether the commander leading the troops can improve the strength of the troops.Relying on combat captures and continuously improving the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command is also something that many independent regiment leaders look forward to and desire.

Now that Sun Weimin finally had such an opportunity, he naturally didn't want to miss it.He knew very well that if Hu Biao's series of battle plans could be successfully implemented.Then the strength of the independent regiment will also be greatly improved in a short period of time.

With enough weapons, ammunition and supplies, the Independence Regiment can recruit more peasant children into the army in a short period of time.With a little training, I believe that the time for the independent regiment to expand into an independent brigade will be further shortened.
