Chapter 301 Who said I have to rely on Stone Village for defense?
"Normally, a military deployment this large would take at least several days."
At this point, Qin Long pointed his finger at Beijing on the battle map:
"Plus, those Japanese troops need to prepare after arriving in Beijing, and then deploy and deploy troops, which will take several more days."
"It will take at least ten days or half a month for the Japanese to actually launch a siege on Stone Village."
"So, I plan to build up Stone Village during this period of time."
"Brother Qin Long, do you want to?"
Chu Yunfei and Kong Jie guessed Qin Long's thoughts almost at the same time, but Chu Yunfei asked first.
Qin Long looked around at everyone and nodded:
"Yes, I'm going to build up the area around Stone Village! Let them die as many as they come!"
"Brother Qin Long, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Hearing Qin Long's plan, Chu Yunfei said:
"As everyone knows, your army has always relied primarily on mobile warfare. Your unit's greatest advantage is its exceptional mobility."
"In my opinion, you should continue with your previous combat style. Relying on the extremely high mobility of your troops, you can defeat the Japanese one by one. This is the best strategy."
"Old Qin, I think Captain Chu's suggestion is good."
At this time, Kong Jie also spoke:
"Should we rely on mobile warfare to eliminate the invading Japanese? It's simply unrealistic to rely on Stone Village to defend against 100,000 Japanese soldiers."
"Forget the city walls. Stone Village doesn't even have a fence. How can we defend it? We might as well give up on Stone Village and rely on guerrilla warfare to wear down the Japanese."
"Anyway, there are at least ten days between now and the start of the war. There's plenty of time for the villagers of Stone Village to evacuate."
Although the others didn't say anything, they all nodded, obviously agreeing with what Chu Yunfei and Kong Jie said.
But what they didn't expect was that Qin Long said:
"Who said I'm going to rely on Stone Village for defense?"
(⊙o⊙)...
Everyone was confused!
Qin Long first said that he wanted to fight a defensive battle, but then said that he was not planning to rely on Stone Village for defense?
They were all very curious about how Qin Long planned to fight this battle.
"Captain Qin."
Yan Shuangying's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked:
"Do you want to take Baoding County and then rely on it to defend against the siege of 100,000 Japanese soldiers?"
After hearing what Yan Shuangying said, everyone suddenly realized!
So that’s it!
No wonder Qin Long was so confident in fighting a defensive battle against 100,000 Japanese devils. Baoding County was his confidence!
But Qin Long's next words made everyone stunned:
"Ah? Baoding County? Who said we're going to use Baoding County for a defensive battle?"
At this point, Qin Long asked Lao Li directly:
"Old Li, how's the progress on the Baoding County city wall?"
Yup!
Except for the newly joined Fang Tianyi and Wang Wenyuan, everyone else knew that the city wall of Baoding County had been flattened by Qin Long's heavy artillery!
So in terms of fighting a defensive battle alone, there is no difference between Baoding County and Shitou Village!
Sure enough, Lao Li shook his head and said:
"The reconstruction of Baoding County's city wall is very slow. Even if we give the Japanese another half month, they won't be able to rebuild much."
So, the result is obvious. The plan to rely on the Baoding County city wall for defense was completely ruined.
Therefore, everyone really couldn't figure out how Qin Long was going to fight this defensive battle with the Japanese?
"Brother Qin Long, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."
Chu Yunfei couldn't think of a solution after thinking about it, so he asked directly:
"I really can't think of a better way, so I hope Brother Qin Long will be generous with his advice."
Everyone else present also looked at Qin Long eagerly, wanting to hear what Qin Long was going to do next.
Qin Long has no objection:
"Actually, I want to fight a defensive battle with the Japanese because I already have a city wall."
Then, Qin Long drew a circle on the battle map with a radius of 30 kilometers, with Stone Village as the center point.
"This circle is the wall I'm going to use to defend against the Japanese."
"Moreover, this city wall is extremely strong and is not afraid of the Japanese artillery fire at all."
what? !
Now everyone is really dumbfounded!
The edge of a 30-kilometer radius centered on Stone Village?! How could there possibly be a city wall there?!
Only Chu Yunfei stared at the battle map thoughtfully, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Brother Qin Long, that incredibly solid city wall you mentioned, couldn't it be..."
After thinking about it, he felt that there was only one possibility for the city wall that Qin Long was talking about.
Seeing that Chu Yunfei had guessed it, Qin Long, who had no intention of hiding it, nodded:
"Yes, the wall I'm talking about is made up of shells from the M198 155mm howitzer!"
"hiss!!!"
Everyone gasped. They really didn't expect that the city wall Qin Long was talking about was actually a barrage of heavy artillery shells!
Good guy!
If we use the barrage of 155mm heavy artillery shells as a city wall, how many shells will be fired in this battle?!
Especially Kong Jie, looking at Chu Yunfei who had already guessed the answer, he was quite unwilling to be outdone by the Kuomintang generals.
Of course, this does not mean that Chu Yunfei’s military ability is necessarily stronger than Kong Jie’s.
After all, our army is extremely short of artillery, let alone heavy artillery.
Therefore, it is normal that Kong Jie could not think of the tactic of using artillery shells to bombard the ground because he was not familiar with it.
After all, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment had an artillery battalion, which was the main reason why he was able to guess Qin Long's thoughts before Kong Jie.
"But, Brother Qin Long."
Chu Yunfei raised the question again:
"Even if you have a heavy artillery regiment, it's a bit exaggerated to say that you use the artillery barrage as a city wall, right?"
"By the time the Japanese troops spread out on the battlefield, the lethality of heavy artillery against them will be greatly reduced."
"Plus, the Japanese certainly won't attack from one route all at once. It's going to be a bit difficult for one heavy artillery regiment to handle the entire front, right?"
In fact, Qin Long had already considered this:
"Regarding this, my friends recently got some really good stuff, and they said they're ready to support us."
"As long as their support arrives in time, the Japanese devils won't be a concern."
"By then, let alone 100,000 devils, I wouldn't be afraid even if 200,000 came!"
"hiss!!!"
Everyone gasped again!
What was Qin Long's friend going to support him with this time? What made him so confident?!
However, Qin Long obviously had no intention of telling, so even if everyone wanted to know, they could only wait.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's go back and prepare."
Qin Long still had a lot of things to do, and seeing that no one had any objections, he decided to end this pre-war preparation meeting.
But at this moment, a Kuomintang soldier knocked on the door and walked in.
Then, he saluted Chu Yunfei and said:
"Report to the commander! Commander Yan is calling!"
