Li Yunlong nodded.
What He Dahai said is absolutely right.
This was the most direct and effective method adopted by the little devils during this period to prevent the transport railway line from being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.
Their flying team is on standby at the airport almost 24 hours a day, once the reconnaissance plane detects which railway line there is an Eighth Route Army unit near.
The Japanese bombers will arrive soon.
And why didn't the little devil set up manned security on the railway line along the way?
The reason is also easy to explain.
During this period of time, in the Eighth Route Army base areas such as Taihang and Taiyue, the Eighth Route Army troops, mainly independent regiments, took the lead in launching a cold-blooded campaign. Later, the New First Regiment, New Second Regiment and other regiments also followed suit.
The range of movement of cold guns and cold guns is something that the devils will never be able to figure out.
The Eighth Route Army has bases all over the place, including guerrilla areas. Even in the hinterland of the areas occupied by his little devils, there are examples of troops being attacked by cold guns and artillery.
Therefore, the Japanese army also issued an order that troops could not leave strongholds, gun towers, counties, and towns unless necessary.
This also means that if Li Yunlong and his party were not detected and exposed by the Japanese reconnaissance plane, the Japanese army would not send a corresponding large number of scouts to cover the mountains and plains to conduct reconnaissance aimlessly.
"Captain, we have a small number of people, and there are not many tanks. The tank bodies have been completely camouflaged in advance."
"Speaking of which, the concealed advance of our tank company is much less likely to be exposed than if half the company's troops sneak in."
After the Japanese aircraft left, He Dahai, who was relieved, said with a smile that under Li Yunlong's instruction, he ordered the tank company to continue moving towards the target point.
In this way, this small tank company only has three tanks and four armored vehicles. As He Dahai said, it is like a ghost, sometimes advancing and sometimes stopping in the entire mountainous area, cautiously and covertly. Moving forward, it wasn't long before we officially arrived at the area where the target railway line was located.
"Captain, we are very familiar with this area. We have investigated it many times in advance."
"If our tanks and armored vehicles want to be concealed, the rear trench at the top of the slope a hundred meters away from the railway line is most suitable."
"The terrain of that place is high, which is suitable for reconnaissance with a good visual field. Once the Japanese transport railway passes by, it is only about a hundred meters away. With the speed of our tanks, we can pounce on the little Japanese's face in the blink of an eye."
Li Yunlong has no objection. When it comes to professional operations, he believes in professional commanders.
The tank convoy took action quickly. Three tanks and four armored vehicles pulled out a formation suitable for attack and lurked in the small trenches on the left and right wings of the Japanese transport railway line.
"Check and repair the camouflage, and then wait for the attack!"
He Dahai immediately gave the order, and he only gave the soldiers two minutes.
First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao also arranged for several soldiers to quickly place some railway bombs on the railway lines where the Japanese passed through this area.
The tank soldiers quickly and deftly covered some of the armor parts that had fallen off the tank body along the way and had blanks with dead leaves within two minutes.
After the camouflage work was rearranged in place, the soldiers returned to the inside of the tanks and armored vehicles quite skillfully, never taking half a step out of the vehicle body at will.
Once motionless, tanks and armored vehicles that are almost integrated with the surrounding environment remain stationary. At this time, the random movement of tank soldiers is most likely to expose the entire tank company.
The soldiers understand this truth very well. Once the tank is ready to lurk, no one will leave the tank and move around unless necessary.
"So the next step is to wait patiently."
"Comrades, everyone must hold on. Only by waiting patiently will the best prey be delivered to your door."
He Dahai said with a smile on the walkie-talkie.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were hiding in a Type 91 armored vehicle. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
In the past, conditions in the Eighth Route Army were difficult. Every time I saw the Iron Bastard, I was beaten on the battlefield.
In the minds of many Eighth Route Army soldiers who have never really seen tank combat, tank combat is on the endless flat land, like a crushing meat grinder, just running rampant, the machine guns and tank cannons inside roar everywhere, and the enemy It collapsed under the huge firepower and violent impact.
But after seeing with my own eyes how a tank company fights.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao suddenly came to their senses.
How can there be anything that is overwhelming and overwhelming?
It's just a matter of careful tactics and clever cooperation, plus very patient waiting.
It’s already autumn, but the autumn tiger still seems to be exerting its residual power from summer.
Being in an external environment, it would be nice to have some cool breeze.
Being inside the armored vehicles and tanks, which were barely breathable, and with the members almost stacked together, the heat inside quickly made the soldiers sweat.
Company Commander He Dahai's voice came from the walkie-talkie to other tanks:
"Comrades, is it hot or not?"
"Hot!" the tank soldiers replied almost in unison.
"Hot, that's right! Who are we? We are the most elite tank soldiers. We should be like the tanks and armored vehicles we drive. They are like strong armor, able to withstand severe cold and high temperatures."
"What are you afraid of if it's hotter? If it can kill the little devil if it's hotter, it's worth it."
“Our political commissar said that a calm mind will naturally cool you down, but you feel hot, why is that?
It's because the mind is not calm enough.
You should learn from me, calm down your heart, close your eyes, and imagine that you are in an ice cellar. Hehe, let alone being hot, you are feeling cool! I'm freezing to death! "
Then another voice came from the walkie-talkie:
"Company Commander, aren't you feeling cold? Why are you wiping your head with your sleeves all the time?"
He Dahai: "..."
"Monkey, the regimental commander and battalion commander are here, why don't you, kid, try to dismantle me and save me some face?"
As he said this, the soldiers couldn't help but laugh together.
Looking at the sweaty soldiers and feeling the hardships of the tank soldiers, Li Yunlong couldn't help but ask:
"I see, isn't there a fan on the front of the car? Why not use it?"
The platoon leader of the tank company who was in the armored vehicle with Li Yunlong replied: "Commander, for this ambush operation, we have brought a lot of ammunition, which takes up a lot of space inside the vehicle body."
"So the company commander ordered that as for fuel, just bring enough fuel for the round trip."
"These fans are driven by electricity. The electricity inside the tank consumes fuel. Every time we use fuel, we lose one point."
"What's more, fuel is hard to come by, so during normal training, the company commander also specifically told us not to use them indiscriminately. We basically don't use these fans."
This made Li Yunlong quite emotional. The weather was very hot when the tank company was training some time ago. The soldiers would rather bear the heat than waste fuel. This made Lao Li feel very unhappy.
"You damn little devil, I'll kill you as fast as you can!" Li Yunlong scolded.
