Chapter 526: 1 A word awakens the dreamer. We must take the initiative and find the right opportunit
"Lao Li's previous strategy was to use static to counter dynamic, but we have been waiting for a day and there is still no movement from the Japanese. If it is shorter, we can continue to hold out."
"The temperature is relatively high now, so we won't be unable to start the car. In addition, if we stop the car, it won't consume fuel, which allows us to hold out for a longer period of time. As long as our rations are not in trouble, we won't be afraid of a long standoff with the Japanese."
"But we only have ten days of combat rations left. If we eat sparingly, it will be enough for 20 days. After all, combat consumes a lot of physical energy, about twice as much as usual. This means that we can only confront the devil for 20 days at most. If we exceed this time, we will starve."
Zhao Gang introduced the situation of the troops in detail, which made Li Yunlong, who was full of confidence before, look a little unhappy. A short-term confrontation is very beneficial to the armored regiment, but if it lasts for a long time, it is very likely that the armored regiment will be trapped to death here.
As the temperature continues to rise, it will become more difficult to preserve food, which is different from the base. The food warehouse in the base is warm in winter and cool in summer, while it is very hot in the wild, making it very difficult to preserve food. If they hadn't stayed in the woods, the sun wouldn't have been that strong.
Lin Zhenhua clearly understood that the temperature would rise as time went on. He didn't have to worry about food and fuel at the moment, but what really worried him was the drinking water problem. Once the Japanese dropped bacterial weapons into the nearby water sources, the consequences would be disastrous. With the current medical conditions of the armored regiment, it was simply unable to cope with a large-scale plague outbreak. Just thinking about that scene was chilling.
"Lao Zhao, Lao Li, I think our most important task now is to store water quickly. We must ensure that the soldiers can drink clean water. This is our top priority right now. The weather will get hotter and hotter in the future, and our demand for water will increase day by day. We must be prepared in advance for the Japanese to take risks."
"If the Japanese can't find us, they will most likely drop plague weapons into the water source. This approach is likely to kill 1000 enemies and injure 800 of our own. But for the Japanese who are eager for revenge, this is probably the most effective method at the moment."
"I think we can no longer rely on static braking. We must take the initiative to attack and break out of the enemy's encirclement in the shortest time possible. We can only be truly safe if we can reach Panjia Town, which is the farthest place our fighter unit can reach. With the protection of the fighter unit, we can withstand the fierce attack of the Japanese air force."
Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong, which made Li Yunlong feel great pressure. According to Li Yunlong's original idea, if he stayed in the woods for three days at most, the devils would most likely take the initiative to reduce the encirclement. But now a day has passed and the devils have not made any movement. A large-scale plague has broken out in the base area, which put Li Yunlong in a dilemma.
"Lao Zhao, college student, I think it's better to be cautious for now. Delaying for one more day will be more beneficial to us. As long as the Japanese don't find our traces, they will definitely not relax patrols around Taiyuan City. This will greatly reduce the pressure on our base, which is very beneficial for the current summer harvest."
"We are attracting the attention of the Japanese outside, allowing Lao Ding and Lao Kong to take this opportunity to harvest the grain. This is more in our interest. According to the telegram Lao Ding sent yesterday, the Japanese bombers that raided Fortress No. 3 were escorted by only one squadron of fighters, and they adopted a completely man-machine combined attack tactic."
"The Japanese air force lost three and a half fighters to destroy one of our fortress guns. Just yesterday afternoon, the Japanese lost 11 fighters to destroy three of our fortress guns. Even if the Japanese can destroy all of our fortress guns by chance, I estimate that the Japanese air force will not pose any threat to us."
Lin Zhenhua replied at the right time: "Old Li, you have completely missed one point. The enemy's fighter production capacity is much better than ours. The gap between the two sides is huge. The annual output of our arsenal is estimated to be only equivalent to the enemy's monthly output. Don't think I am talking nonsense. What I said is very likely to be the truth."
"The Japanese lost more than 100 fighter planes before. It will take at most six or seven days to produce them. If we complete the replenishment, it will take at most half a month. In any case, we must withdraw to the base within half a month. Otherwise, facing the Japanese's super-large-scale aircraft attack, we will not be able to fight back at all."
Li Yunlong suddenly heard this, and his expression became solemn. He had missed this point before, which made his previous plan have a huge loophole. After thinking for more than ten minutes, he said with a serious face: "The college student's words just now woke me up. I thought that even if the Japanese could get fighter planes, it would probably take a month. But I didn't expect that the Japanese's industrial production capacity is so strong, which means that the Japanese can get fighter planes in a very short time, and their combat effectiveness will recover very quickly."
"The armored regiment is still very weak in air defense. If we were to encounter a large-scale attack by the Japanese aircraft, we would not be able to withstand it. Even if we can successfully break out in part, I'm afraid the losses will be very heavy."
"I decided to change the previous battle plan and send a small team into the mountains to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese soldiers defending the mountain pass in order to attract their attention. While the Japanese soldiers' attention is attracted, we will immediately start to break out. We will break through the three encirclements of the Japanese soldiers at night, and find a place to hide during the day to avoid air raids by the Japanese air force."
"The team will have about half a battalion of people, with a large number of light weapons and a small amount of artillery, and will fight our way out of the mountains. We need to create an illusion for the Japanese that we have abandoned our vehicles and are moving lightly to break through, so that the Japanese will misjudge us. If we blow up a few vehicles in poor condition, it is very likely that they will be fooled."
"I will draw up a detailed battle plan in a while, taking all kinds of unexpected situations into consideration. This time, I will personally lead the team to make a feint attack, and the college students will be responsible for the main force's breakout. If everything goes well, we will be able to reunite in two days."
Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang had no objection to this. In terms of military command, Li Yunlong had much more combat experience than them. In addition, Li Yunlong was bold and careful, and often used some unexpected tactics, which often achieved very good results.
At this time, good news came from the base. After treatment, the condition of the patients infected with the plague has gradually improved, which made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Call Dr. Wang Xuecheng back immediately and follow the second prescription for now. Don't make any improvements yet. The sample data we have now is still a little small. We need to wait until all patients have used the medicine before we can look at the feedback. This matter cannot be rushed. Let's get the situation under control first."
"Regarding the handling of the plague weapons dropped by the devils, we must strictly follow the specifications I have set and adopt strict disinfection procedures, and absolutely no fish can slip through the net. In the hot summer, everyone likes to drink raw water. This practice must be resolutely avoided. The supply of hot water must be guaranteed, and the people must have hot water to drink. There must be no more private drinking of raw water."
After Lin Zhenhua finished his explanation, he did not sit idle. He carefully read the telegram sent by Dr. Wang Xuecheng from beginning to end, and the solemn expression on his face did not dissipate. The plague has not been solved yet, and it is only a small victory. If you relax, it is very likely to cause a fierce counterattack.
Li Yunlong began to select the elite from the entire armored regiment. This mission was very dangerous. In order to allow more soldiers to survive, he had no choice but to do this to minimize casualties.
"Monk, hurry up and go to the two infantry battalions to pick people. The success or failure of our mission this time is directly related to the life and death of nearly 10,000 brothers. We must not be careless at all. Pick the most elite ones for me. I have just given orders to the battalion commanders. They will fully cooperate with you in selecting people. As long as you like them, bring them here!"
"Duan Peng, go to the armored corps and pick people for me. When you pick, be careful. Don't just think about picking the elite. Think about the college students. Elite armored soldiers are not necessarily elite soldiers. There is no necessary connection between the two. Don't be stupid and pick elite armored soldiers for me. When they go to the battlefield, they are not much different from ordinary soldiers. I won't listen to your excuses then."
"Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, the two of you come with me. I need to explain the next step of the battle to you so that you can have an idea and be prepared to break out in advance."
Li Yunlong brought the two men into the communications command vehicle, pointed to the map hanging on the car and started talking. He also listened carefully to their opinions. The three of them discussed for nearly three hours before they determined the next attack and retreat route.
Zhao Gang was not idle either. He immediately arranged for the kitchen team to distribute the noodles in advance and prepare some dry food in advance tonight in case of emergency.
