Chapter 700 The command center must not be attacked, we must not fall into Li Yunlong’s trap!
"Sir, the enemy has sent out 6000 men to attack the Pingding Gold Mine. They have completed their preparations for the war. I think we should not wait for the enemy to attack, but should take the initiative. As long as we take down the enemy's headquarters and destroy the enemy's command system, we can easily win this counterattack."
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and we don't have enough cotton clothes for the winter. If we want to hold on to the Pingding Gold Mine until next spring, we must get full support from the headquarters." Taro Kuroda suggested anxiously.
As Yamamoto Ikki's think tank, his suggestions have always been taken seriously. However, this time Yamamoto Ikki had different plans. He did not have the idea of launching a sneak attack, but instead wanted to rely on his current position to defend it.
"Kuroda-kun, the commander of the attack on the Pingding Gold Mine is Li Yunlong. I am too familiar with this man. It will be very difficult for us to gain some advantage from him. I can even be sure that he has already tied up his trap and is waiting for us to enter. We must not be stupid enough to act according to Li Yunlong's plan. We must do the opposite!"
"According to Li Yunlong's understanding of me, he thought I would definitely attack his headquarters, but I chose not to send anyone to attack his headquarters. I was going to send a special agent team to attack the enemy's heavy artillery position. Success or failure does not matter. The purpose is to disrupt Li Yunlong's combat deployment and make him unable to figure out our strengths and weaknesses."
"We now have more than 2200 people in total. In addition to rifles, we are equipped with only 20 mortars and six Type 2000 infantry guns. The total number of shells we have is only . We are unable to engage in a firefight with the enemy!"
"I plan to use a war of attrition to delay the enemy. I will deploy the main force throughout the Pingding Gold Mine and hold on to the enemy to consume their strength bit by bit."
"We have dug a lot of caves in the gold mine before, which can be used as temporary storage for our weapons and ammunition. However, for safety reasons, we cannot put all the supplies in the caves. Most of the supplies are going to be placed in the caves at the back to avoid being wiped out by the enemy."
"In order to reduce casualties, I have mobilized more than half of the main force to wait for the train. The troops actually deployed on the front line are only four squadrons with 800 people. As long as they can hold out until tomorrow night, they will withdraw immediately."
"Li Yunlong's troops can't deploy at all in the mountainous terrain. We don't have to worry about Li Yunlong's quick victory. As long as we resist completely, Li Yunlong will be dreaming if he wants to take over the Pingding Gold Mine without sacrificing two or three thousand people."
"Kuroda-kun, before he left, Mitsui Taro told us where to hide a batch of grain. You should immediately arrange for someone to find that batch of grain. We must be prepared to hold out for a long time and wait for the right time to launch a counterattack and help the large army capture Niangzi Pass!"
After Yamamoto Ikki made the decision, Taro Kuroda did not raise any objections, but helped him improve the plan and prepare to meet Li Yunlong's army.
Li Yunlong, who was full of confidence, did not expect that after experiencing many setbacks, Yamamoto Ikki had grown very quickly. His previous arrogance had disappeared, and he became cautious. He had fully understood Li Yunlong's tactics, making it difficult for Li Yunlong's carefully prepared attack to work for a while.
At 9:30 in the evening, all the troops launched the attack on time, and the rumbling sound of artillery sounded from time to time, providing artillery cover for the attacking troops. The self-propelled anti-aircraft gun directly leveled the anti-aircraft gun, aimed at the suspected hiding place of the Japanese, and fired wildly, which was really a blast, and many Japanese were directly shot through.
"Damn it, the Japanese are really patient. They haven't launched a counterattack yet. We have really met our match this time. But I am not someone to be trifled with. I have anticipated the current situation and ordered the troops in the rear to speed up and reach the battlefield within the specified time and join the attack."
"Searchlight troops, turn up the lights even brighter. We must illuminate all those damn Japs!"
"Zhu Zi, don't save your ammunition for me. Keep bombarding me. We are here to tell the Japanese that their offensive and defensive strategies have changed!"
