However, after seeing the terrain of Yematan clearly, Leng Tiefeng immediately calmed down again. ≥,
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng sneered and said: "Old Xu, if you try to rely on the terrain of Yematan to resist, you are probably wishful thinking, because Yematan is more than a thousand meters wide, with such a wide front, and the Independent Regiment is He hastily switched from retreating to defense, which is impossible to defend against."
Indeed, with a frontal width of more than a thousand meters, even if all the troops of the Independent Regiment are fully deployed and stretched into a line, the frontal width of each meter is only one person on average. What's more, the Independent Regiment hastily switched from Sayazi's escape to defense, and there is no There was enough time to deploy troops, and no time to build fortifications, so it was absolutely impossible to defend a front of more than a thousand meters.
"You can't prevent it with people." Xu Rui smiled slightly and suddenly said, "But what if we use fire?"
"Use fire?" Leng Tiefeng was stunned when he heard this, and the dozen "combat staff officers" behind him also looked at each other.
"Yes, use fire." Xu Rui said, drawing a line at the bottom of Yematan with his hand. This line was stuck just behind the buttocks of the Independent Regiment, and then continued, "I will let the militiamen dig a trench at this location first. , fill the ditch with gasoline, and when the defeated troops of the Independent Regiment cross the ditch, they will immediately ignite the gasoline in the ditch."
"Then what?" Leng Tiefeng frowned, "Using gasoline to ignite fire may be able to stop the Japanese army for a while, but it will definitely not last long. Unless you can dig a ditch as big as the Mei River, otherwise this will be used to stop the Japanese army. The fire pursued by the Japanese army lasts for one or two hours at most, and what can you do after one or two hours?"
"In an hour or two?" The expression on Xu Rui's face suddenly became a little strange.
"Is there anything wrong?" Leng Tiefeng frowned and asked, "Old Xu, are you telling me that more than a thousand brothers in the Independent Regiment can swim across the turbulent Mei River in an hour or two?"
"Of course it's impossible to swim across the Mei River." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "But if you just cross the river, there is a way after all."
"The little Japs are not dead, so they won't use artillery fire to block Meihe? The Japs can even use artillery fire to carpet bomb Yematan." Leng Tiefeng immediately retorted, "In less than an hour, the Independent Regiment has already surrendered to the Japs. It was reduced to rubble by artillery fire, you can’t deny that, right?”
Xu Rui said: "You are right, it will indeed take less than an hour for us to be disabled by the Japs' artillery fire."
"Then let's go back to the original question." Leng Tiefeng said, "What will you do in an hour or two? What will you do next?"
"Then? Hehe, I'm afraid there will be no more." Xu Rui smiled ferociously and said in a deep voice, "Because in less than an hour, the Japanese who chased Ye Yetan have already lost control of themselves!"
"You little devil, you can't take care of yourself anymore?"
Leng Tiefeng and a dozen "combat staff officers" behind him looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
"Old Xu, are you kidding me?" Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "Yes, we snatched hundreds of tons of gasoline and diesel from Huilonggou last time, but you have to understand that this is not a return trip. Longgou, if you want to imitate the nerds and use burning oil barrels to explode and splash, killing and injuring the little Japs, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to succeed.”
Last time in Huilonggou, He Shuya ordered dozens of oil barrels filled with gasoline to be pushed into the fire scene. As a result, more than a dozen gasoline incendiary bombs were accidentally created, causing fatal injuries to the Hattori brigade trapped in the fire scene. After the fire was extinguished, nearly a thousand charred remains of the Japanese were left, which was really impressive.
Leng Tiefeng was also deeply impressed by this, and it is still fresh in his memory.
However, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Rui to replicate Huilonggou's tactics in Yematan.
Because the terrain of Huilonggou was relatively narrow, the fire scene at that time was no more than a hundred meters wide on the east and west sides, and only three to four hundred meters long on the north and south ends. However, the north and south width of Yematan in front of us was more than one thousand meters. The length from east to west is more than two thousand meters. How much gasoline would be consumed to turn such a large area into a burning fire
To put it another step back, even if there was enough gasoline, it would be impossible to replicate Huilonggou's tactics.
Because there is still a certain slope in Huilonggou, the oil barrel will roll down with a little force from the uphill slope. However, the ground here is basically flat. Even if you push the oil barrel with all your strength, I am afraid it will not roll very far. Is it possible? Are people pushing the oil drums forward? If you really plan to do this, the Japanese will burn themselves before they are burned.
Or, bury a thousand barrels of gasoline in Wild Horse Beach first, and then ignite the barrels when the Japanese come in
I'm afraid this won't work either. After all, gasoline is not an explosive. Explosives will explode in one click, but an oil barrel will take a long time to burn before it explodes. The little devil will not wait stupidly in the river bend, waiting for you to burn the oil barrel.
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng continued: "Old Xu, it is absolutely impossible to burn the little devil with gasoline."
"Who said I was going to use gasoline to burn the Japs to death?" Xu Rui laughed, then changed the subject and continued, "If I really planned to use gasoline to burn the Japs to death, would your Yanzi still fight against me?"
Xiao Yanyue has always been very stingy, and taking supplies from her hands was like killing her.
"You don't need gasoline to burn it?" Leng Tiefeng was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Then what do you use to burn it? Firewood?"
Xu Rui chuckled, turned to Wang Husheng and said, "Old Wang, take out the thing you found at the base of the wall of my hometown this morning and show it to everyone."
"Okay." Wang Husheng agreed and immediately placed a dark stone on the edge of the sand table.
"What is this? Just a stone?" The eyes of Leng Tiefeng and a dozen "combat staff officers" behind him all focused on the dark stone. Leng Tiefeng also stretched out his hand on the stone. After knocking twice, I found that it was just a stone. I put my hand under my nose and smelled it. There was no peculiar smell.
In the end, Huang Shouxin was the first to discover it and said in surprise: "Isn't this a piece of coal?"
"Yes, Shouxin is right, this is a lump of coal." Xu Rui nodded, "But this is not an ordinary lump of coal, but a piece of rare high-quality anthracite! Do you know what anthracite is? The so-called anthracite means burning It doesn’t smoke or emit toxic gases, and more importantly, it’s not easy to detect!”
"High-quality anthracite?" Leng Tiefeng reacted immediately and said solemnly, "Old Xu, do you plan to use these high-quality anthracite to burn the Japanese?"
"Do you think it's okay?" Xu Rui smiled and asked without answering.
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said: "If there is enough high-quality anthracite, it is naturally possible, because high-quality anthracite has high combustion efficiency and will not produce irritating odor. The most important thing is that it will not smoke and has a very high concealment. If Another thin layer of sand was spread on the coal seam. By the time the Japs discovered something was wrong, the entire coal-laying belt was already in flames, and the Japs were already doomed!
Leng Tiefeng's heart began to beat wildly at the thought of the entire Yema Beach being covered with thick layers of high-quality anthracite, and then the entire Yema Beach being engulfed in flames, because this meant that all the Japanese who entered the Yema Beach would have no way out. But to escape, if the little devil doesn't want to be burned to death in the fire, he has no choice but to jump into the turbulent Mei River and be swept away by the rapids!
And no matter which choice is made, it will be a disaster for the little devil!
Behind Leng Tiefeng, a dozen "combat staff officers" also became excited in an instant.
Xu Rui's entire plan has been put on the table, and the deduction continues.
The so-called deduction means constant overturning, constant interpretation, and then continuous revision of the plan until the entire combat plan is impeccable, at least on paper, no flaws can be found.
Taking a deep breath, Leng Tiefeng said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's just say that it is okay to use high-quality anthracite to launch a fire attack, but there are still many problems in the process. As long as one of them is not solved, your entire plan will be ruined. It will come to naught. Let’s talk about the first question first, how do you plan to lay the coal seam? Or let me put it more directly, how do you plan to deceive the spy of the little devil for such a big project? "
Laying a thick layer of coal on Yematan is no small project.
A simple calculation shows that the entire Jiangwan is one thousand meters wide and two thousand meters long. Even if it is only paved with a coal seam ten centimeters thick, a total of 200,000 cubic meters of coal will be needed. Converting this into weight, it is a full 300,000 tons. ! This is only ten centimeters. If you want to ensure that all the little devils are burned to death, you need to spread it at least half a meter thick!
To lay half a meter of coal seam, it would require 1.5 million tons!
How huge a project is it to dig out 1.5 million tons of coal from the ground, transport it to Yematan, and then spread it out? A strong laborer can transport up to one ton of coal from the coal mine in a day, which means that if you want to complete it within ten days, you need to use at least 150,000 people!
Extending the deadline to one month would cost 50,000 people!
With such a large project and lasting for such a long time, it is indeed a difficult problem to deceive the Japanese spy! After all, in addition to reconnaissance planes in the sky and reconnaissance cavalry on the ground, the Japs will also raise observation hot-air balloons from time to time to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance from the observation balloons. How can you avoid the reconnaissance of the Japs
Leng Tiefeng said in a deep voice: "How did you avoid the traitor's detection?"
The eyes of more than a dozen "combat staff officers" focused on Xu Rui. They were all curious about what clever tricks Xu Rui could come up with to avoid the enemy's detection.
"This is indeed a problem." Xu Rui smiled slightly, then changed the topic and continued, "But who told you that you need to transport coal to Yematan? To tell you the truth, under the thin surface of Yematan, In fact, there is an anthracite coal field buried there, so we don’t have to transport coal to Yematan, and we don’t have to worry about being discovered by the Japanese!”
"What?"
"Is there a coalfield on Wild Horse Bank?"
"This, this, is there such a thing?"
"Good boy, this is going to be fun."
Leng Tiefeng and a dozen "combat staff officers" looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and then began to cheer. If it is true as Xu Rui said, there is a coal field on Yematan, then the little Japs will really be in trouble.
