Chapter 1064 Squad Operations
That evening, the various units of the 72nd Army were also selecting the most suitable personnel for their small detachments. Although there were only forty detachments in the first phase, if the results were satisfactory, the number could be increased by a hundredfold. After all, there were plenty of places to fight on the Pujiang battlefield.
With 250,000 troops on the main battlefield, the Japanese army has plenty of room for you to work.
After a heated argument, and even a minor physical altercation, the eight hundred Central Army soldiers were separated. They knew the weight of their responsibilities. This spot had been fought for by their superiors, who had risked everything, and some had even resorted to violence.
The Central Army used to think of itself as the top army in the country and looked down on other armies. Whether it was training, food, or morale, it was much better than other armies. But that was before the 72nd Army appeared.
When the 72nd Army appeared, the Central Army, which consisted of the elite troops, from generals to soldiers, immediately realized its shortcomings.
This joint operation with the 72nd Army was a good opportunity to observe and learn up close.
Therefore, everyone is well aware of how important this spot is.
Moreover, when you came here, the officers said that if you learned the 72nd Army's combat methods, you would be promoted at least one rank upon your return. If you could learn the essence of it, it was hard to say how high you would be promoted.
After receiving Li Shaoyi's orders, Guo Shaoqiu and Wu Zhenlei deployed military supplies and equipment to various battlefields in Pujiang, trying to arm these small teams with the best weapons and equipment possible.
The current battlefield in Pujiang is too dull, and we really need to find a new way to fight. Li Shaoyi's idea is very novel.
However, no one has verified this, but if it were to be successfully verified, a small unit with powerful firepower would inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army.
The squad leader was from the 72nd Army, one deputy leader was from the Central Army, and the position of deputy leader was vacant.
According to the requirements above, who will have the highest number of kills tomorrow? Who will be appointed as the vice-captain?
"Would the commander-in-chief like to say a few words?"
Dawn was just half an hour away, and forty small teams were deployed along a front line of more than thirty kilometers.
Although they weren't gathered together, the communication system allowed them to hear Li Shaoyi whenever he wanted to speak. In all of China, only the 72nd Army could build such a sophisticated communication system.
"There's nothing to say. Just keep killing the Japanese devils, for the sake of the entire Chinese nation and for your own future."
Li Shaoyi ended his speech with just a few brief words. There were no grand promises or rousing words coming from the microphone. Instead, the squad leaders nodded and then gestured to their soldiers to set off.
Jeeps led the way, followed by armored vehicles and a small squad of fifty men. Apart from a few snipers active in the surrounding area, the squad used human-powered bicycles for transportation, while the rest of the men advanced in armor.
The jeeps and trucks were also modified, with two layers of sheet metal welded around them, each more than six millimeters thick.
Normally, Japanese bullets can't penetrate it, but if it encounters weapons like infantry artillery, this thing probably won't be able to stop it.
Of course, our vehicles were also armed to the teeth. When you encounter Japanese infantry guns or anti-tank guns, you have to silence them first, otherwise you'll be killed next. So it is extremely important to fire first on the battlefield.
Eleventh Squad.
"Captain, I think our route should be like this: all cars stop at the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, which is a four-story building. The top two floors have been destroyed, and there are no civilians there. We'll all get off here..."
Guo Hanqiang, the deputy captain of the 11th detachment, belonged to the 11th Division of the Central Army and was a platoon leader.
His troops were originally fighting in this area, but due to insufficient firepower, they were forced to retreat more than 1 kilometer by the Japanese. However, they were very familiar with the surrounding situation. There was a warehouse behind the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but the contents inside have been burned down, and even the warehouse space is gone.
However, the south wall of the warehouse still exists, and not far from the south wall is the position of the Japanese 311th Company.
Team leader Tian Qing nodded, basically agreeing with Guo Hanqiang's battle plan.
Abandoning armored vehicles and cars will reduce our firepower output, but if we advance lightly and stealthily reach the north of the Japanese, we can wipe out half a company in one attack if the Japanese don't discover us. With good luck, we might even take out an entire company.
"I agree with your operational suggestions in principle, but I have one requirement. Our main objective is to kill or inflict casualties on the Japanese army. We must not get bogged down in a large-scale battle with them. Therefore, we only have five minutes to fight. After five minutes, no matter what the Japanese army is like, we must immediately retreat along the original route and set up a large number of booby traps along the way."
Tian Qing was short, and in the 72nd Army, which was mostly composed of northerners, he had always had an unpleasant nickname. However, on the battlefield, it wasn't about height, but about how much merit you had made.
This guy took down two Japanese machine gunners on his first battlefield experience, and now he has eight Japanese lives on his hands.
These were all earned with every single shot fired! That's why everyone in the team listened attentively when he spoke.
The 72nd Army is such a place; when you have convincing military achievements, you are the absolute king here. We all obey your orders.
But if you only talk the talk but don't walk the walk, and don't actually achieve any results, then don't blame us for letting you down.
The Central Army is rife with various factions.
The promotion of military officers was also based on personal connections, which made those who were truly talented feel uncomfortable.
After joining the 72nd Army's detachment, they felt that this was the real army.
"Check weapons and equipment. We will arrive at the disembarkation point in ten minutes. Reconnaissance soldiers, advance!"
After Tian Qing gave the order, the two motorcycles on either side of the car quickly revved their engines, and with a loud tearing sound, the two motorcycles rushed forward.
The once bustling streets of Pujiang are now deserted, and the surrounding area is desolate. Seeing this, the brothers felt extremely sad. The Japanese devils must pay for their blood debt. If we let you leave Pujiang alive, then we are in the wrong.
The Japanese troops on the other side were still on high alert, so they kept emphasizing the need to prevent a sneak attack. But they hadn't been attacked for almost half a month. Could they come today?
