Anti-Japanese War: A district team with more than 100 million soldiers!

Chapter 172: Offense is the best defense!

"Shuisheng, Tiezhu, bring all the infantry and gather here immediately."

The Japanese tank brigade has been completely wiped out, and Qin Long is ready to start the next step:

"Wu Tie, Wei Gang, you two will lead 30 tanks to stay behind at Zhangzhuang Airport. Divide into 10 combat teams and coordinate with the artillery and machine gunners to prepare to respond to the Japanese reinforcements from the nearby counties rushing to Jinan."

"Wu Jian, Wei Qiang, you two will lead 210 tanks and all the infantry as soon as they arrive. We will immediately advance along the Jinpu Railway towards Dezhou."

"Yes! Captain!"

Shuisheng, Tiezhu and Wutie said in unison.

After arranging the armored forces and infantry, Qin Long continued:

"Yang Zhihua, after Tom and his crew take off in their Japanese bombers loaded with E-46 cluster napalm bombs, all artillery and machine gunners will immediately withdraw from Zhangzhuang Airport."

"Then rebuild a simple artillery position 15 kilometers west of Zhangzhuang Airport and stand by. Do you understand?"

"Understood! Captain!"

Yang Zhihua replied immediately. Although he was also confused about what Qin Long was going to do, he did not ask any more questions, but resolutely carried out Qin Long's orders.

"Heading towards Texas?!"

However, Chu Yunfei couldn't help it and asked in surprise:

"Brother Qin Long, aren't we going to rely on the artillery positions and machine gun firepower network we established at Zhangzhuang Airport to fight a defensive battle?"

"You're actually planning to head towards Texas now? Wouldn't that mean all the advantages we've accumulated so far will be wasted?"

"And you ordered the artillery to withdraw from Zhangzhuang Airport. Forgive my ignorance, but what on earth are you trying to do?"

To be honest, Chu Yunfei was really confused by Qin Long's actions...

"Brother Yunfei, haven't you heard the saying? Offense is the best defense!"

Qin Long pointed at the tanks and said:

"My troops are so mobile, wouldn't it be a waste if I fought a defensive battle?"

"So next I'm going to launch an offensive and catch the Japanese 27th Division off guard!"

"Do you know why our Eighth Route Army guerrillas can give the Japanese such a hard time? It's because, except for when we cooperate with other troops to block enemy reinforcements and fight defensive battles, the rest of the time we take the initiative and attack."

"call!"

After taking a deep breath, Chu Yunfei thought seriously about what Qin Long said, and then thought about the combat style of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

He nodded in agreement.

But this time, the ones coming are the Japanese's permanent division!

In addition to two infantry brigades, there is also a regiment each of cavalry, artillery, engineers, and logistics.

The artillery regiment was equipped with 36 75mm field guns and 12 120mm howitzers.

In addition, there are four infantry regiments, each equipped with four 4mm field guns and four 75mm anti-tank rapid-fire guns.

There are nearly two artillery regiments in total, and the firepower is extremely fierce!

This was also the main reason why a division of the Japanese army was able to chase down and beat their two armies.

And Qin Long obviously didn't plan to bring artillery with him when he raided the Japanese 27th Division this time. This...

"Brother Qin Long, I still suggest you fight a defensive battle."

Chu Yunfei said sincerely:

"The combat effectiveness of the Japanese regular divisions is completely different from that of ordinary Japanese troops."

"They are equipped with nearly two artillery regiments, and their firepower is extremely fierce. If Brother Qin Long insists on raiding the Japanese 27th Division, I suggest you bring all the artillery except the two heavy artillery battalions."

Qin Long knew that Chu Yunfei's words were truly spoken from the bottom of his heart for his own good.

It can only be said that cognition limits Chu Yunfei's thinking.

After all, at this time, even Louis Forel, the inventor of the E-46 cluster napalm bomb in the United States, was still in the stage of improving the material of napalm.

Therefore, it was impossible for Chu Yunfei to have a clear understanding of the horrific lethality of the E-46 cluster napalm bomb.

Therefore, it is normal to draw wrong conclusions.

To be honest, the E-46 cluster napalm bomb is definitely the most lethal weapon against infantry besides nuclear weapons!

However, this thing is indeed an extremely cruel weapon, which is why it was later included in the list of banned biological and chemical weapons.

The martyrs who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea suffered a lot from this thing!

"Brother Yunfei, I won't joke with my life."

Qin Long said to Chu Yunfei:

"I want to raid the Japanese 27th Division, so I have a foolproof plan."

"You're not talking about that new type of aerial bomb, are you?"

Chu Yunfei immediately guessed the reason why Qin Long was so confident:

"Brother Qin Long, please forgive me for being so nosy. After all, it has just been developed, and its specific power in actual combat is still uncertain."

"So I think you better not hold your hopes too high."

"Brother Yunfei, you will know when the time comes."

Qin Long did not explain much. When Chu Yunfei saw the power of the E-46 cluster napalm bomb, he naturally understood why he was so confident.

at the same time.

The train carrying the Japanese 27th Division also stopped 45 kilometers away from Jinan.

"Baga! Those cunning Chinese! What else can they do besides blowing up the railway?! They all deserve to die! Damn it!"

Faced with the railway bombed by 24 M198 155mm howitzers, Kojiro Ochiai could do nothing but feel helpless and furious.

"Send a telegram to General Okamura! He says the railway was destroyed by the enemy and cannot be repaired in time, so the 27th Division can only rush to Jinan on foot."

After giving the signalman his orders, Ochiai Kojiro, still furious, asked a Japanese soldier beside him:

"Nishino-kun, how far is it from here to Jinan?"

Nishino Sae, the Japanese brigade commander who was previously sent to Texas by General Okamura Yasuji, knew that Ochiai Kojiro was still angry.

So it didn't dare to say anything nonsense to offend this bad luck. It immediately looked at the battle map and took out the compass to gesture for a long time:

"General, this place is 45 kilometers away from Jinan."

"Nani?!"

When Ochiai Kojiro heard that it was still so far away, he became even angrier:

"Baka! Baka! These damn Chinese! Why can't they just accept the Empire's rule? Why?!"

"I'm going to make them die miserably! Die miserably!!! All of them, die!"

After venting his anger, Ochiai Kojiro regained his composure, thought for a moment, and then gave the order:

"All soldiers! Prepare in half an hour, then march quickly to Jinan! I want every last one of those Chinese to die!"

After half an hour.

The Japanese 27th Division plus a brigade were fully prepared.

Under the command of Kojiro Ochiai, they rushed towards Jinan at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.

Almost at the same time, Qin Long's side had also gathered.

"Captain Qin! Captain Qin! Can you hear me?"

But at this moment, Lao Li's voice came from the intercom.

Qin Long immediately replied:

"Yes, Lao Li. What's up?"

"Captain Qin! We just received an urgent telegram from the headquarters! The Japanese soldiers from Dezhou rushing to Jinan to support them are equipped with extremely powerful weapons! They demand that you evacuate Jinan immediately!"

Old Li said anxiously...
