Chapter 222 I was tricked(1/2)
Didn't Yoshio Shinozuka know that he had to take advantage of high-altitude vision? The problem was that he didn't have any advanced high-altitude, high-speed photographic reconnaissance aircraft at his disposal!
The reconnaissance plane in his hand now is either for low-altitude reconnaissance or high-altitude reconnaissance using telescopes.
But to use a telescope, you must use your naked eyes to notice something is wrong on the ground, and then use the telescope to look down.
Because no one in the sky holds a telescope in front of their eyes and looks down. That is seeking death, not reconnaissance.
Using a telescope to look down at a certain high altitude and high speed will cause a certain degree of congestion in the eyes, just like if a person with intact eyes has to wear glasses for myopia.
But in high altitude, flying at low speed is simply unrealistic.
If it falls below 3,000 meters, it will be defeated.
There were already two reconnaissance planes that flew over the enemy's position to conduct reconnaissance without paying attention to the altitude, and were shot down.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army was no longer without anti-aircraft weapons. Aircraft with an altitude below 3 kilometers could easily be shot down by the opponent.
However, aircraft flying at an altitude of more than 3 kilometers must have a certain speed to fly at this altitude, so they lose most of their detection significance.
This is also the reason why scouts are needed to go and figure out the situation ahead.
Even if you want to coordinate infantry and artillery, you still have to know where your cannon should explode?
Even in 1979, when we fought with monkeys, we still needed a large number of scouts to scout the opponent's positions and artillery positions.
If the aircraft at that time were not better and high-altitude reconnaissance was not more accurate, why did we need ground reconnaissance?
It's not that high-altitude reconnaissance always has its limitations. It only belongs to large-scale investigation and is not suitable for precise understanding of reconnaissance.
Therefore, the current Yoshio Shinozuka also thinks so.
If you don't conduct detailed investigation, you will suffer big losses.
He did not think that his 50,000 or 60,000 troops could have a numerical advantage in these places.
Even if he has heavy equipment such as tanks and cannons, the other party will not be weak to him!
The other party now doesn't even have a plane.
According to the information from Yagyu Linxiaxi and Yamamoto Kazuki, almost all the people in the opponent's base area are soldiers, and even the common people are fully armed. Even children as young as seven or eight can hit the 100-meter target.
It's not like the ones in the past where there were so many people watching, but you couldn't find a few bullets all year round, and your marksmanship was so bad that you had to get closer, and you had to put it closer to hit.
According to Yamamoto Kazuki's understanding, if all the common people who can carry a gun are taken out to the battlefield, they will be able to fight better than the average elite of the national army in their familiar environment.
Moreover, in the past six months and a year, the people have not only been trained, but also the militia captain has taken them out to perform tasks in the base area, attack strongholds and so on, see blood, listen to gunshots, they are not those who have never been on the battlefield.
Newbie.
But he didn’t rely mainly on the intelligence provided by Yamamoto Kazuki. Wouldn’t it be possible to fight the war without intelligence?
Isn't it okay to use superior troops to crush them?
Could it be that without superior strength, the Imperial Japanese Army would not dare to fight?
In fact, that's not the case. The Japanese army's fighting habits are right that they attach great importance to intelligence, but they don't rely too much on intelligence.
They also rely on their own senses, sometimes crushing them all the way without any information.
However, the premise is that they can crush it.
Whether it can work or not, this is obvious. The Japanese army's fighting habit is to touch you first. If you are weak, he will bite you hard.
If you can withstand it, he will try harder and fight again with a superior force.
But if you give him a head-on blow immediately, he will immediately retreat to collect intelligence, then look for loopholes to outflank the enemy.
In many battles after the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army would attack you from the front first, then if the front remained immobile, they would immediately send out flanks to surround you, hit you from behind, and encircle you on three sides.
At that time, many troops were good at fighting from the front, but once the Japanese troops penetrated behind and attacked them from behind, they collapsed.
Now, this is what he wanted to do to deal with Li Yunlong's position in front of him.
At the beginning, his vanguard had a head-to-head confrontation with the other party's people and failed to gain any advantage.
Li Yunlong laughed loudly at this time: "This battle was fought happily. My regiment of 5,000 troops faced off against a Japanese division.
Yoshio Shinozuka must not have known that under the layer of floating soil in front of my position was solid reinforced concrete, a semi-permanent fortification.
Lao Chen, I got the military cement from your cement factory, and the reinforced concrete poured by your cement is a semi-permanent fortification. If it can't withstand the Japanese artillery.
You guys have to compensate me for buying a batch of mortars. If the goods are wrong, you have to compensate me!
Right!"
That’s right!
Under Chen Shanhe's suggestion, Li Yunlong has made drastic changes to several of the only roads leading to Li Yunlong's base from the outside world.
The key points are the pouring of semi-permanent reinforced concrete fortifications, dense tunnels, and camouflage.
After Chen Shanhe's assessment, if Yoshio Shinozuka did not have the confidence to conduct a bombing with Van Fleet's ammunition, there would be no way to destroy these semi-permanent fortifications.
This is the defense system that Li Yunlong spent a year, coupled with the support of Chenshanhe Cement Factory and Steel Factory, and the mountainous tunnels.
At first, Li Yunlong thought that it would be difficult to dig out such a dense tunnel defense system in a mountainous area full of mines and rocks.
But he didn't know that in October 1952, on the south side of the Yalu River, there would be the world-famous Battle of 597.9 Highland and 537.7 Highland, also known as Shangganling.
That place was also covered with mountains and rocks. In those places, the volunteers were able to dig tunnels suitable for combat in the shortest possible time.
What's more, Li Yunlong has such a long time.
Therefore, with Chen Shanhe's firm support, Li Yunlong really dug tunnels in the mountain that extend in all directions like spider webs on the only way to his base area, and also poured semi-permanent fortifications that could guard the throat and provide strong defense.
After precise calculations, the various semi-permanent fortifications here can work together to hit all positions that invade their position.
Moreover, according to calculations, the semi-permanent reinforced concrete fortifications built by Li Yunlong can use the mountain to avoid direct hits from most artillery fire.
This is the battle supported by modern industrial resources.
Therefore, Li Yunlong felt a little proud after repelling the tentative attack of a Japanese division's forward unit head-on.
But he didn't expect that Chen Shanhe would immediately pour a bucket of cold water on him.
"Last year, the French also thought that the Germans could not break through their Maginot Line.
As a result, the Germans just took a detour from Belgium and penetrated all the way into France. The so-called Maginot Line was of no use in the end.
The Japanese are also very good at outflanking. Although our permanent fortifications can withstand the enemy in the front, they may not be able to notice the enemy in the rear.
Therefore, we must pay attention to the frontal battlefield, as well as the flanks or rear.
I know that you have two talents, one is Wei Dayong and the other is Duan Peng. They have trained a group of super scouts.
Now that you have practiced it, don’t hide it, take it out and use it openly!”
Li Yunlong laughed twice when he saw Chen Shanhe's explanation.
"It's not a super scout, it's just a scout, but the requirements are higher than ordinary scouts.
This is not to wait until you have mastered it and then secretly want to show off with your reconnaissance battalion.
Although it can’t compare with the special operations battalion, you can still give it a try by comparing it with your reconnaissance battalion!”
Suddenly the phone rang, Li Yunlong picked up the phone, and Zhang Dabiao's voice came from the phone: "Captain, in the direction of my first battalion, the Japanese are suddenly pressing forward!
But the strange thing is that their cannon didn't fire!"
Li Yunlong's mind is so fast: "The devils are planning to use people to lure out our artillery positions.
And our main firepower!
You don't need to worry about this. Your battalion is the most combat-effective battalion of my independent regiment. You have to resist it.
If your battalion has the best weapons and equipment and the best elite soldiers in the whole regiment, but can't withstand a tentative attack by the enemy, then you, the battalion commander, should stop doing it!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Dabiao yelled: "Yes, if I can't handle it, you can remove me from my post without having to lead the regiment, and I will die on the battlefield!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dabiao immediately issued orders to all companies and platoons. Pay attention to casualty control and precise strikes. The last and most important thing is to hold on!
That’s right!
Only when one side's military strength is several times that of the enemy's, will it be a devastating battle.
In a real battlefield, you usually attack and test again and again, and then find the opponent's loopholes again and again.
It wasn't until the opponent's loopholes could no longer be found and the orders from above came down that they rushed forward to fight to the death.
Otherwise, every battle between two equally matched parties is like playing chess, where they are making moves and then testing each other's weaknesses.
Yoshio Shinozuka has given up on sending special forces to directly investigate the reality of the opposing position. Instead, he directly sends the special forces out, bypassing the position in front of him, going deep behind the enemy's rear, finding the enemy's weaknesses, and then delivering a fatal blow.
This was a tactic they often used when fighting south from the Battle of Songhu.
Moreover, he now realizes that people like special forces are not much different from ordinary soldiers when placed on a frontal battlefield. However, if they are allowed to outflank, penetrate and penetrate behind the enemy's rear to harass them, it is the most correct way to use them, and they may be able to surprise them.
the result.
The frontal battlefield has already begun. An army of nearly 60,000 people began to attack in six directions at the same time.
The target is directly at the factory area directly behind this line of defense.
He was actually very confident. The reason why the Eighth Route Army was difficult to eliminate was because they fought on the move. Even though they were fighting piecemeal, the cumulative number of enemy kills was actually quite astonishing.
