Chapter 180 Chapter 178: Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die!

“Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?
Is there any other combat mission for me to perform?”

After Duan Peng entered the regiment headquarters, he asked Qin Yangming excitedly without waiting for Qin Yangming to speak.

Originally, Duan Peng was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Yangming’s decision to assign the pioneering mission to the assault platoon.

I feel that it is a bit of a waste of talent to use the assault platoon, which is so powerful, to serve as a vanguard force. It feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

But now Qin Yangming called him over, and the troops were about to go into battle, and they were facing an entire brigade of the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

In this situation, Duan Peng couldn’t help but think of the former Kimura Brigade.

Duan Peng was also wondering in his heart whether Qin Yangming was planning to lead the assault platoon to launch a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade this time.

If they succeeded in taking down the command post of the Japanese 4th Brigade, the other troops surrounding the 4th Brigade would take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and the 4th Brigade would be completely wiped out in less than a day.

An entire brigade of the Japanese devils was wiped out within one day. Even though Duan Peng’s vision was not very far-sighted, he could still know how much benefit the Eighth Route Army would gain if the Fourth Brigade was eliminated within one day.

The most obvious benefit is that the 4th Brigade no longer has any influence on the rest of the Eighth Route Army and no longer poses a threat to internal areas.

Then the Eighth Route Army can let loose and fight a big battle with the other two brigades of the Japanese in Shiquan County and Linyuan County!
And by the time the war is over, no matter how you look at it, the credit for defeating the 4th Brigade will definitely go to the assault platoon.

It was because the assault platoon destroyed the headquarters of the Japanese 4th Brigade, causing the Japanese 4th Brigade to lose unified command and the troops to temporarily fall into chaos, that’s why they were able to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army so quickly.

Seeing Duan Peng coming, Qin Yangming temporarily stopped talking with Zhangye.

“There are no other combat missions. This time, the assault platoon is mainly responsible for acting as the vanguard, paving the way for the follow-up troops, and collecting intelligence at the same time.”

“Ah? No, Captain…”

Duan Peng became anxious when he heard Qin Yangming say that there were no other combat tasks assigned to the assault platoon and that the assault platoon’s mission was to serve as the vanguard.

Before Duan Peng finished speaking, Qin Yangming could tell what Duan Peng was thinking.

Qin Yangming first raised his hand to signal Duan Peng not to speak and listen to him, then he popped out a cigarette and threw it to Duan Peng.

“I know what you’re thinking.

Are you thinking that I called you here alone? Are you thinking that I am going to lead the assault platoon to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade? “

“That’s right, Commander, that’s exactly what I thought when I came here. Asking our assault platoon to act as the vanguard is a bit of a waste of talent, isn’t it?

So I thought, you would definitely not give such a simple task to our assault platoon. You called me here alone, there must be a more important task… But you, the regiment commander…”

Duan Peng caught the cigarette that Qin Yangming threw to him, then raised his hand to block the light Qin Yangming handed over, lit the cigarette, and asked Qin Yangming with a puzzled look on his face.

“Captain, why don’t you carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade this time?
If we can take out the headquarters of the Japanese 4th Brigade just like we did the last time with the headquarters of the Kimura Brigade, and then find a way to blow up the Japanese camp.

By then, with the strength of our Eighth Route Army here, we might be able to completely wipe out the Japanese Fourth Brigade within a day.”

“Captain, to be honest, after I knew we were going to attack the Japanese Fourth Brigade, I thought about how our assault platoon would carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade.”

Qin Yangming, who was just about to interrupt Duan Peng and tell him what he needed to say, immediately became interested when he heard what Duan Peng said next.

“Of course, Duan Peng has finally learned to think for himself instead of waiting for my orders.

Listen to his battle plan. If it can meet my requirements, then I can safely hand over the special operations team to Duan Peng.”

Qin Yangming was very happy when he heard Duan Peng say that he had conceived a battle plan against the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

He let Duan Peng be the captain of the special forces team, not only because Duan Peng did have that ability, but also because he wanted to train Duan Peng to be a special forces soldier specializing in special operations.

In the original novel, Duan Peng is the captain of the Liangshan Special Forces. From this point of view, Duan Peng actually has talent in this area.

Because of the system in Qin Yangming’s body, as well as other factors such as reality, Qin Yangming cannot follow the path of his previous life, the path of special forces. He can only and must follow the path of conventional forces.

After all, although the lower limit of special forces is very high, the upper limit is there.

If Qin Yangming fully engages in special operations, then his upper limit will be determined, because the nature of special forces is destined to be incomparable with large-scale conventional forces.

However, Qin Yangming was unwilling to let his special operations experience and skills, which were far beyond this era, go to waste.

Therefore, Qin Yangming hopes that Duan Peng can learn his skills and experience, and then take the path of special operations on his behalf.

After all, in the original novel, Duan Peng later took the path of special operations, and now he is just moving this path forward.

In addition, taking a new path is also beneficial to Duan Peng.

If he took the route of a regular army, according to the original novel, Duan Peng would only be a regimental chief of staff in the later period. After all, the time when Duan Peng joined the army was clear.

If I take the special operations route, maybe I can move up a level…

“Come on, tell me your plan and I’ll see what you think.”

“Yes!”

After listening to what Qin Yangming said, Duan Peng quickly opened his mouth and prepared to introduce to Qin Yangming his own operational plan for a decapitation operation against the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

“Captain, my idea is very simple, it is almost the same as the last time you led us to carry out a decapitation operation against the headquarters of the Kimura Brigade.

But now we don’t have a tunnel in Tongshi Town, so we can’t get directly to the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

So I thought, since we all know some simple Japanese, we can change into the Japanese’s clothes, disguise ourselves as them, and then find a way to sneak into their camp and find their headquarters.

Then in the middle this way… that way…

Finally, after destroying the Japanese headquarters, we will use Japanese to create chaos in the Japanese camp… Then the Japanese will definitely explode because of our actions, and when the time comes, we will…”

Listening to what Duan Peng said, Qin Yangming couldn’t help but raised his hand to interrupt him.

“Stop, stop, stop, Duan Peng, is your battle plan something you just thought of on the way here?”

“? Captain, how did you know?”

“When I heard you were looking for me, I wondered if you wanted to lead our assault platoon to launch a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

Then I asked, based on your last battle plan against Kimura’s Brigade, you came up with a battle plan for the 4th Brigade.

Captain, is there anything wrong with my plan? “

Looking at Duan Peng’s eyes, Qin Yangming shook his head.

Duan Peng’s battle plan was not only wrong, it was full of loopholes and had no practical value at all…

However, as a combat member and someone with little education, Duan Peng could think of these things, which means that he had indeed thought about it.

It’s just that he had too little experience, and he had always been used to smooth sailing, so he had never encountered any strong opponents, and he really thought the Japanese were fools.

Thinking of this, Qin Yangming finally understood how he felt when the boss tested him.

Qin Yangming rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself.

Then he calmly and calmly prepared to analyze to Duan Peng what his battle plan was all about.

“Duan Peng… is there water in your brain?

Is there paste in here?

Did you just ignore what I said?
I have emphasized this so many times!

Never, ever treat your enemies like idiots when you hit them!

Don’t imagine your enemies to be as stupid as pigs!

If you treat your enemy as an idiot and think that your enemy is as stupid as a pig.

Then you are the real pig!”

Qin Yangming finally failed to suppress the anger in Zhu’s heart, and he slammed the table and scolded Duan Peng.

Zhangye, who was drinking tea nearby, was so frightened by Qin Yangming’s sudden movement that he didn’t even have time to put the cup away. He hurried forward and stood between Duan Peng and Qin Yangming.

I hope that when Qin Yangming can’t hold it in any longer, I can still act as a relief belt, and hold on until the brigade commander next door hears the noise and rushes over.

Duan Peng was also shocked by Qin Yangming’s actions. Qin Yangming, who had been very calm, suddenly got angry.

“Just knowing a few words of Japanese means you can disguise yourself as a Japanese soldier?
Learn my battle plan?
Is that how I learned my battle plan?

Anyone who uses my battle plan except me will die!
You can imitate, you can be somewhat similar, you can learn, but you can never copy it!

Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die!

I have told you the story of Zhao Kuo’s armchair military strategy, right?
The Japanese are not idiots or pigs. We can call them pigs, fools and idiots, but we cannot really treat the Japanese as idiots or stupid pigs!

They are human beings, real living people!

Even if a pig falls down while walking, the next time it passes by the place where it fell down, it will remember that it had fallen there once and will take a detour.

What about people?

How long has it been since we destroyed the Kimura Brigade’s headquarters?

Don’t the Japanese devils consider this issue?

Also, what was the situation of Kimura Brigade at that time?
What is the current situation of the Japanese Fourth Brigade?
Have you considered the terrain?
The area around Tongshi Town is flat and there is no cover. Even if everything is as you said, I can successfully disguise myself as a Japanese soldier, successfully get near the Japanese soldier’s headquarters, and successfully destroy the Japanese soldier’s headquarters.

So, how to retreat?

Do you know what a smooth road ahead means?

What this means is that the Japanese heavy machine guns can shoot at us from a long distance!

There’s nowhere for us to hide!
You want to disguise yourself as a Japanese soldier, so the assault platoon’s weapons cannot be brought in. So, do you want to use the Type 38 rifle to compete with the Japanese soldier’s Type 92 heavy machine gun in firepower?

Or do you want snipers to fight against the Japanese mortars?
Even if the Japanese soldiers outside the Japanese command post were all blind, they allowed our assault platoon to sneak in fully armed.

and then?
Do you expect to fight nearly ten thousand Japanese soldiers with submachine guns in a place without any cover?

We have none of the three conditions: the right time, the right place, and the right people.

how to spell?
Phew~”

Qin Yangming took a deep puff of the cigarette, then threw the rest of the cigarette on the ground, easing the anger in his heart.

Looking at the brigade commander who was staring at him at the door, Qin Yangming swallowed the word “Lao” that was on the tip of his tongue and calmly began to analyze Duan Peng’s battle plan to him.

“The assault platoon has been used to having smooth sailing and has never suffered any hardship.

Duan Peng, although the assault platoon can be said to be the vanguard regiment, it can even be said to be the strongest platoon in the entire Eighth Route Army.

But in reality, the assault platoon is no different from ordinary troops.

Even the assault platoon is better at hiding than ordinary troops.

If the assault platoon starts to appear in front of the enemy in the same brazen manner as ordinary troops, then the assault platoon will be close to death.

First of all, the area around Tongshi Town is all flat and there is no dangerous terrain.

Therefore, the Japanese Fourth Brigade would definitely choose a village as the center and then build defensive fortifications layer by layer.

You can understand it as the Japanese forming a large circle with a village or simply a piece of open space as the center.

The headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade is most likely located in the middle of this circle.

If we need to sneak to the center, we have to pass through several outer lines of defense.

Because it is flat ground, there are no slopes or blind spots for us to sneak into.

We can only communicate with the Japanese from the front and then find a way to sneak in.

But with such a large position, it was impossible for a patrol team of the Japanese to reach the inside directly from the outside.

There must be a different patrol team in charge of each floor.

The other side are all from the same unit, and suddenly a patrol team appears that you don’t know at all and all the people there are unfamiliar to you…especially when they are about to be attacked.

Would you doubt it? Would you try to verify the identity of the assault platoon?
Once we check it, we will be exposed.

……

By that time, the assault platoon will have a head-on firefight with nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers… The soldiers of the assault platoon must be gods, otherwise I don’t see the possibility of the assault platoon being able to retreat from the Japanese soldiers.

And, there is one most important question: how can you ensure that all the senior officers of the Japanese Fourth Brigade are in one place?
As long as there is a senior Japanese officer who is not eliminated, the Japanese can still maintain command of Zhu’s troops.

The last time we carried out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Kimura Brigade, we were able to achieve such great results.
It was all because the Kimura Brigade’s forces were very dispersed, and the senior officers were all together, which led to the bombing of the camp. In addition, the situation at the time, and the Japanese suffered a big loss at Baihu Ridge in broad daylight, and the morale of the army was unstable…

In short, we were able to achieve such great results last time because there were many factors in our favor.

Do you think I don’t want to carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade?

I wonder how much benefit it would bring to us if we could directly take down the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade?
That’s because it’s simply not possible.”

Qin Yangming calmly explained to Duan Peng why Duan Peng’s battle plan would not work and why he did not carry out a decapitation operation against the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

Now the entire Japanese brigade is surrounded in the small area of ​​Tongshi Town. This situation is not suitable for special operations at all.

We can only rely on regular troops to fight a head-on battle with the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

There is no other way.

Otherwise, how could Qin Yangming let go of the head of a major general? He knew how valuable the head of a Japanese major general was and how many points it could be exchanged for.

After seeing the brigade commander leave, Qin Yangming told Duan Peng what he had called him to tell him, and then he and Zhangye left the regiment headquarters to check on the troops’ preparations.
