Chapter 82 Three days, take Qinghe within three days (Subscribe)
Thinking of the various benefits that the Eighth Route Army would gain if it took over the Northeast, Qin Yangming had to admire the strategic vision of the boss and others.
His biggest idea was to capture Qinghe, and then find a way to expand the base, seize Taiyuan, and occupy most of Shanxi.
But the boss and others thought of sending troops from Mongolia to take over the Northeast!
The plan is a good one, but with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to complete this plan.
"However, if I can obtain enough points and produce enough weapons and equipment, maybe this plan can actually succeed."
After the brigade commander's explanation, Qin Yangming also knew that the biggest problem in completing the plan was that he did not have enough strength, or in other words, he did not have enough weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons.
Whether attacking a pass or a city, heavy weapons and sufficient ammunition are required.
But it is obvious that the current Eighth Route Army cannot meet either of these two conditions.
Otherwise, Qin Yangming and others would not have the chance to discuss here. The Eighth Route Army would have already taken Qinghe and started preparing to attack Mongolia.
If it were in history, the Eighth Route Army would definitely not be able to complete this plan, but it is different now. Qin Yangming has traveled through time and he also has a system.
As long as he has enough points, Qin Yangming will be able to exchange them for a large number of heavy weapons to make up for the biggest flaw in the Eighth Route Army's plan.
This makes the plan possible to implement.
Thinking of this, Qin Yangming touched his chin, thinking about a plan he had considered shortly after obtaining the system.
"It looks like I have to start preparing my decapitation plan soon."
After obtaining the system, Qin Yangming came up with a plan to form a special forces team to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese and puppet army high-ranking officials.
However, due to personnel and various other reasons, this plan has always been perfected in Qin Yangming's mind and has not been implemented.
According to the system's method of obtaining points, as long as you kill enough puppet troops or Japanese officers, you can get a lot of points.
Moreover, killing those officers not only earns a lot of points, but also disrupts the Japanese command system.
If the command system is in chaos, the nearby Eighth Route Army forces can seize the opportunity to launch an attack on the Japanese.
In addition, the killing of a large number of officers can better deter those who want to surrender to the Japanese.
If you fight the Japanese honestly, you might survive. But once you surrender to the Japanese and become a puppet soldier, you will surely die.
Not only will you have to bear the stigma of being a traitor, but your descendants will also have to bear the reputation of being the descendants of traitors.
As long as the Eighth Route Army expands its power, it will not even need to suppress the Japanese, but only need to fight against them.
So those puppet soldiers who want to surrender to the Japanese, or those puppet soldiers who have already surrendered to the Japanese, have to think carefully, because after they die, they will be marked as traitors.
Looking at Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming who were in deep thought, the brigade commander put down his cup and continued speaking with a smile.
"The Eighth Brigade of the puppet army is responsible for garrisoning Qinghe County. This is the brigade whose cavalry battalion you robbed, plus a cavalry unit of the Japanese. The total strength is about 4,000 people.
However, according to intelligence, the Eighth Brigade had undergone a major reshuffle by the Japanese, with most of the soldiers being replaced by the North China Security Army.
They are mostly outsiders, with no locals, so their fighting power cannot be underestimated."
"I calculated that if we want to take Qinghe County, we need to send out at least three main regiments, plus four regiments of troops to help fight the reinforcements.
In this way, we might be able to capture Qinghe within five days."
"But the only troops we can mobilize are our 115th Brigade and two regiments of the th Division. Other troops cannot be mobilized."
The brigade commander spoke and looked at Li Yunlong with a smile: "Li Yunlong, if I ask you to attack Qinghe County, how many troops and how much time do you need?"
As soon as the brigade commander finished speaking, Li Yunlong spoke with a solemn vow.
"Brigade Commander, let the New 1st Regiment cooperate with me. Four days, give me four days to capture Qinghe!"
The brigade commander was quite surprised when he heard what Li Yunlong said: "Li Yunlong, there is no joking in the army!
Think carefully before you speak. Even if the New 1st Regiment is handed over to you, the combined strength of your two regiments will be less than 8,000 people.
You must have seen the topography of Qinghe County.
The area where Qinghe County is located can be said to be a small basin, surrounded by hills and rivers, while the middle and north are flat land.
As long as the outskirts of Qinghe County were attacked, the enemy forces inside Qinghe County could immediately send troops to the attacked area using war horses.
Eight thousand people cannot launch a multi-faceted attack, and the pseudo-Mongol cavalry behind Qinghe County only needs one day at most to reach Qinghe County and support Qinghe. "
"On flat ground, I don't need to explain how much the cavalry can do, right?"
Li Yunlong listened to what the brigade commander said and stood up directly, his face extremely serious: "Brigade commander, three days, within three days, take Qinghe!"
As soon as Li Yunlong said this, not only the brigade commander was shocked, but even Qin Yangming and the political commissar looked at Li Yunlong with surprised expressions. Qin Yangming was even more surprised, because he and Li Yunlong had personally seen the terrain of Qinghe County.
The terrain there is really complicated. Except for the north and the middle, the rest is mountainous and river-filled, and there are also a large number of artillery towers and bunkers.
In terms of the terrain's defense level, it is even much higher than Baihu Ridge.
If he were to lead the team, he would need at least a complete version of the New 1st Regiment, and then he would have to take out the heavy weapons in his warehouse.
Relying on the powerful firepower, he was confident that he could capture Qinghe County within three days.
But Li Yunlong was different. Li Yunlong had no idea that he had those heavy weapons.
What Li Yunlong said about taking Qinghe County within two days depends entirely on the manpower, weapons and equipment of the current Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment.
"Li Yunlong, don't be impulsive. There are some things you can't say carelessly."
The political commissar also thought that Li Yunlong was bragging and quickly spoke up to dissuade him.
But the brigade commander on the side looked at Li Yunlong with a serious expression.
Li Yunlong has many clever ideas for fighting wars, and his thinking on how to fight a war is very different from theirs.
In a nutshell, Li Yunlong is very adventurous and can always reverse the trend by using different playing styles when his side is at a disadvantage.
Moreover, he is extremely sensitive to changes that occur during battles and can always seize that tiny opportunity in battle to gain the greatest victory at the lowest cost.
Seeing Li Yunlong's serious expression, the brigade commander also stood up and walked back and forth around the map.
The brigade commander stopped, turned around and looked at Li Yunlong seriously.
"Li Yunlong, I will give you another 800 new soldiers, and you will be responsible for the weapons and equipment for these 800 men.
Three days. If you can take Qinghe County within three days,
No matter how big a mess you make, even if you make a hole in the sky,
As long as you don't make mistakes of principle, I will support you!"
"Brigade Commander, don't worry. I promise to take Qinghe County within three days!"
"If you have any other conditions, please tell me. If I can solve them, I will help you. If I can't, I will go to the commander."
"Brigade Commander, I hope the Pianguan base can help block the Japanese reinforcements coming from Pianguan and Xianchi."
"That's no problem, I can promise you that."
"Also, you know, in a war... there can only be one person's voice on the battlefield."
"Hey, Li Yunlong, you are promoting yourself on the front line.
It seems that you still want to command your old comrades. Okay, I will let Ding Wei follow your command, and the rest is up to you. "
Li Yunlong listened to what the brigade commander said and said confidently: "Brigade commander, don't worry, I promise to take Qinghe within three days. If you fail to take it, you don't have to waste bullets to shoot me. I will jump into the Yellow River by myself."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
"If you take over Qinghe, I'll ask the division commander to recommend you for the credit!"
"Yes!"
After Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming saluted, they quickly left the brigade headquarters.
The political commissar at the side quickly stepped forward and asked the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, are you so sure that Li Yunlong can take over Qinghe County in three days?!"
"It's not that easy to capture Qinghe County. If the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment suffer heavy losses in the process of attacking Qinghe, then there will be no point for us to come here to rest.
When the boss blames us, we will…"
The brigade commander waved his hand to interrupt the political commissar, looked at the backs of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming, and said in an affirmative tone.
"I believe in Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong has many tricks for fighting. He is not a boaster. If he says three days, then he will definitely be able to capture Qinghe within three days."
"Commissar, go and get ready."
"What are you ready for?"
The brigade commander looked at the backs of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming disappearing in the brigade headquarters and spoke calmly.
"Be prepared for Li Yunlong to poke a hole in the sky!"
