Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#126 - Brigade Commander's Care

Although it is still far from the standard equipment of a Japanese squadron, which includes 9 machine guns and 9 grenade launchers.

However, with the precise ranging provided by the laser rangefinder, coupled with skilled gunners, 3 grenade launchers can be used as if they were 6, reducing the advantage of the Japanese forward grenade attacks.

The improved base's new grenade launcher has an effective coverage range of up to 900 meters, comparable to a 60mm mortar. With the rapid and accurate positioning of the laser rangefinder and the quick strikes of skilled gunners, the control capability within a kilometer range of the front line is not much weaker than the Japanese grenade launcher squads, which have an absolute numerical advantage. The Japanese forward machine gun fire points will face a huge challenge.

As for those RPG rocket launchers, they are specially equipped to enhance the stronghold attack company's assault capabilities. A hundred assault companies will be equipped with 2 Flying Thunder God mortars and 1 RPG rocket launcher, with the goal of clearing out the Japanese blockhouses around the base and attacking and destroying strongholds along the railway line, as well as any armored trains that may appear.

Therefore, as the Great Sabotage Counterattack was about to erupt, Ren Zhong felt that the time was ripe and prepared to set off for Kuncheng, taking advantage of this favorable opportunity!

Ren Zhong had worked diligently and painstakingly for more than half a year, increasing the amount of weapons and ammunition for the Eighth Route Army. The main regiments near the headquarters had been quietly renewed. In addition, for the sake of the suddenness of the campaign, the headquarters had basically not arranged any major combat missions for the subordinate main regiments for half a year.

Even Li Yunlong, who was enthusiastic about engaging in side businesses, had only three decent battles in the past six months: Wanjiatown, the prisoner-of-war camp, and Heyuan. The rest were sporadic guerrilla warfare and training exercises.

All for the sake of squeezing out greater results from the Great Sabotage.

According to Ren Zhong's estimation, at least in terms of sabotage, the number of Japanese blockhouses pulled out would be at least twice as many as in the original timeline, and the casualties would be much smaller.

As for annihilating the Japanese, in Ren Zhong's view, if the opportunity was seized, and a brigade-level Japanese force was caught and exploited vigorously, eliminating most of it would not be a major problem.

After all, now, only in the Taiyue Military Region, concentrating 3 to 5 main regiments for a decisive battle within a day or two is already possible. In terms of weapons, after being concentrated, there would be more than twenty 82mm mortars.

With the Eighth Route Army's usual tactics of division and encirclement, using small units to contain a portion of the brigade-level Japanese force, the possibility of concentrating forces to annihilate a large squadron at once is already very high.

The Independent Mixed 4th Brigade, stationed in Yangcheng, is only a second-line Japanese garrison unit. The main force consists of 5 infantry battalions and a mixed artillery and engineer battalion, mainly responsible for the security and garrison tasks of the Zhengtai Railway Line.

Usually, the forces that can be dispatched are 3 to 4 battalions plus an artillery company. With the brigade commander's ability, these battalions can be pulled apart and divided.

As long as the battle can be resolved within a few hours at night, the Japanese Army Air Force's reinforcements will not be able to arrive. For the Eighth Route Army, without the threat from the air, relying on the current abundant supply of bullets, it is not impossible to resolve a battalion in seven or eight hours with a three-on-one or even four-on-one situation.

This is why Ren Zhong believes that now is a very good time to set off. By the time he arrives in Kuncheng, he will basically be able to receive overwhelming battle results.

However, Ren Zhong had no intention of using his foresight to interfere with the headquarters' planned Great Sabotage operation. On the one hand, he was not very knowledgeable in strategy and tactics, and on the other hand, Ren Zhong also believed that this Great Sabotage was just the right time, but historically, due to the excessive disparity in weapons and ammunition and the lack of assault methods, the battle results lacked shock.

So, after Ren Zhong came to this time and space, he began to do his best to enhance the strength of the brigade commander and Li Yunlong as soon as he gained a foothold, in order to achieve greater battle results.

Because the current situation in China is already very bad, not to mention the loss of most of the country, the great traitors are still openly establishing a puppet regime this March! The theory of invincibility is rampant, providing a basis for the Han people to defect to the enemy.

It can be said that the fate of the nation has been swaying and suppressed to an extreme point. Under such circumstances, many confused people have excuses for choosing to defect to the enemy.

Ren Zhong knew that even if he paid a greater price, he had to find a way to reverse this sluggish situation. The Great Sabotage operation was precisely to let people see a glimmer of dawn.

The greater the battle results, the stronger the encouragement to the Chinese people's resistance!

At this time, if you don't go all-in and rise up, even the mountain city may not be able to sit still and want to defect to the enemy.

On the other hand, the brigade commander's talent transfer transportation line layout has been completed, and the relay points along the way are basically all in place, and nearly a hundred underground comrades have been mobilized just for this.

Ren Zhong's long journey of nearly ten thousand miles back and forth is also very difficult.

The brigade commander is very helpful, and got Ren Zhong a Guofu major's identity to handle affairs in the mountain city. The documents and papers are all formally processed by the Guofu Theater Command, genuine, but the brigade commander will pay the price of exposing a very valuable dark line for this afterwards.

But the brigade commander thinks it is very worthwhile. If there is no such identity and reason for handling affairs, Ren Zhong will not be able to lead a dozen armed personnel from Jin to the rear like Shancheng.

There are bandits and defeated soldiers everywhere along the way. Without a strong escort force, the brigade commander himself is not at ease.

Now Ren Zhong is too important to the base area. If the prospects of the research institution described by Ren Zhong were not too wonderful, the brigade commander and division commander would never agree to Ren Zhong taking such a risk.

Having this chicken that can lay golden eggs can be worth at least one division a year!

But Ren Zhong said that he could enlarge this division to 5 divisions! Then it is worth the division commander and brigade commander to consider. Using this to consider testing the poor and crazy Eighth Route Army leaders is really unbearable!

So the brigade commander used all his strength to directly give Ren Zhong the military officer status of a Guofu Jin-Sui Army major staff officer. With the identity of a Guofu regular army officer and the excuse for handling important military affairs, it is justified to mobilize a squad to protect Ren Zhong.

Huzi is the squad leader of Ren Zhong's new major escort squad.

It's just that now Huzi is still a little unaccustomed to calling Ren Zhong 'officer' at every turn.

He has become accustomed to calling Ren Zhong 'Boss Ren' in Heyuan.

But according to Guofu's strict habit of distinguishing between superiors and inferiors, Huzi should respectfully call Ren Zhong 'officer'.

Ren Zhong doesn't care, there are many officers with a bit of personality, like Ren Zhong so young, it is obvious that he has a background, is it normal to be used to being a young master and bring people into the army to serve him?

Calling him 'boss' or 'young master', isn't it okay if people are willing?

On the edge of the mountains a hundred miles west of Heyuan, there is a small mountain village called Xingtang Temple. The village is not big, with a hundred or so households. One day, a large number of troops suddenly came from the east.

Several people on tall horses rushed to the front.

It was Ren Zhong and his party who were preparing to rush to the rear!

Standing beside him were Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan!
