He had to master the usage of the mortar in half a month to increase his accuracy. However, due to the shortage of weapons, Su Wen was also very worried.
More than a hundred people surrounded less than ten mortars every day, but they couldn't really fight. This made Zhang Dabiao complain to him every day.
The artillery was useless. The regiment did not have that many mortars anyway.
Su Wen ignored him. If they didn't have the mortars, wouldn't it be fine?
At this time, it was the engineer soldiers 'turn. In half a month, they had built six furnaces at the camp of the first battalion. Now, they were just waiting for the iron mine.
Seeing that it was about time, Su Wen gathered the three battalion commanders again and began a pre-battle meeting.
"Regiment Commander, it's not that I, Zhang Dabiao, am complaining, but tell me, how is our regiment still like a military unit?”
Zhang Dabiao took a few puffs of his cigarette and said with a bitter face,""Cavalry without horses, catching mules pulling carts every day is a disaster!”
"Forget it. What's the use of building those useless furnaces and hammers every day? As for the artillery, they might as well join my broadsword team!”
With the current shortage of resources, it was understandable for Zhang Dabiao to say this. Su Wen smiled and said,"Don't worry, I called you here today for this matter. Once we take down this location, we can equip a large number of mortars.”
"Really?"
Zhang Dabiao glared at him and asked,""Which Japanese stronghold are they preparing to attack?”
"No, our target is here!”
Su Wen took out his map and pointed at a place on it. Everyone looked at it and was puzzled again.
"Attack the Li Village? Why?"
"It's for the iron ore here!" Su Wen said slowly.
"Captain, even if we take them down, we can't defend them! Look, as long as we move, the devils in Pingan County will definitely come out in full force!”
Shen Quan pondered for a moment before raising his head to look at Su Wen."By then, we'll be finished."
"Who said we were going to defend? I've already asked around. The Japanese have a lot of iron ore here, a small amount of gunpowder raw materials, and a large number of living materials…"
With that said, the others immediately understood. So it was robbing the Japanese. They were good at this!
"Since that's the case, give the order. Guild Leader, we'll listen to you!”
Zhang Dabiao clenched his fists, excitement flashing in his eyes.
If they could really take it down, they would definitely not suffer a loss.
"Mm, Zhang Dabiao, your 1st Battalion will be in charge of the main attack. Also, take 130 people from the infantry company.”
"Yes, sir! Guild Leader!"
" Second Battalion, cover the flanks and block the enemy's reinforcements at any time. Spread out along this line…"
"I understand, Leader!" Shen Quan nodded.”
"What about me? Our 3rd Battalion can't possibly be involved in logistics, right?”Wang Huaibao muttered," If this continues, our brothers will grow hair on their heads.”
"Haha, don't worry. Your 3rd Battalion will be in charge of the west direction and block off the escape route of these devils. Not only will we fight, but we will also eliminate all evils and not let any devils escape!”
"Alright, I, Old Wang, will listen to you!"
Wang Huaibao rubbed his fists and nodded.
"Yes, according to the report of our scouts, I have already grasped the number of Japanese troops and weapons in this iron ore stronghold.”
Su Wen pointed at the map and continued,"The time of attack will be set at one o'clock tomorrow night. This way, we can achieve a good surprise attack effect. From now on, everyone will enter battle preparation.”
"Yes, sir! Guild Leader!"
"We promise to complete the mission!" The three of them said in unison.”
"Yes, this is the first time our Independent Regiment has taken the initiative to attack. It will be a tough battle. No matter what, we have to take down this stronghold and let the Japanese see that our Independent Regiment is not to be trifled with!”
The three of them felt their blood boil from Su Wen's words. After understanding the battle plan in detail, they headed to their respective camps and began to prepare for the march.
As for Su Wen, he finally received a mission.
"Detected that the host has triggered a mission. Attack the Li Village stronghold! [Mission reward: Top-notch saber technique, points 3000]”
In order not to expose their whereabouts, everyone brought a few days 'worth of dry rations. They did not cook in the wild and only marched at night. Even the sentries were sent out more than ten miles away.
Su Wen rode on his horse and looked at the long line. His heart could not calm down for a long time.
To be honest, whether the independent regiment could grow or not depended on this battle!
Su Wen used all the submachine guns and other equipment that he had obtained to equip the 100-plus people that Zhang Dabiao had brought with him. It was not for his safety, but to make this team more useful.
At ten o'clock the next night, Su Wen received news from the various battalions. The second and third battalions had already arrived at the scheduled location and were ready for battle.
"Regiment Commander, I sent someone to take a look just now. The general situation is as you said. The Japanese still don't know that we're coming!”
Zhang Dabiao lay in the grass and said to Su Wen,"I think it's about time. Why don't we attack now?”
Su Wen looked at the night sky and then at the pocket watch he had seized, indicating for Zhang Dabiao to not be anxious.
"Let's wait a little longer. When their people are all asleep, we'll attack with all our strength and catch them off guard!”
"Wait a moment, you take those fifty people and sneak out first. When it's about time, I'll take over these two turrets first. That way, we'll have the commanding height of firepower. The remaining seventy people will wait until the battle is almost over before sneaking in.”
Hearing Su Wen's words, Zhang Dabiao nodded silently, his palms sweating.
The regiment commander was already going all out, which put a lot of pressure on him!
Damn it, I have to say that this regiment commander is even more daring than Regiment Commander Li. This is really f * cking exciting!
