Chapter 965 Make up for mistakes
After the analysis of the major battle situation, Liu Lang and Brigade Commander Wang and Lieutenant General Huang discussed the tactical details on the battlefield.
The first opinion that Liu Lang said was that the 17th Division's mountain artillery battalion was closer to the range of the Black Hawk Imperial Army's 41 mountain artillery, and the Black Hawk Imperial Army also had aircraft to assist. If the position was too far ahead, it would suffer unnecessary losses due to the Black Hawk Imperial Army's superior firepower.
This is obviously Huang Lanfeng was extremely worried. The 12 mountain cannons in the mountain artillery battalion are his treasures. It can be said that if it weren't for the fire cover of this mountain artillery battalion in the battle in Gujingcheng City, his 17th Division would have lost less than a thousand people and could have successfully withdrawn from the position after losing less than a thousand people?
Not to mention that he and Liu Lang both valued this mountain artillery battalion very much, even the old man from Ling Pizhou who was far away in Chengguan City saw it and kept instructing him to transfer the mountain artillery battalion to the jurisdiction of the Guyongfeng War Zone. Naturally, the old man from Ling Pizhou transferred most of the artillery to Canghuai Valley to confront Qiao Yinshuan. The artillery on Guyongfeng was not only pitifully few, but also could not get all the artillery soldiers, and there were even strong men who were temporarily acting as gunners.
If Huang Lanfeng hadn't insisted repeatedly, his artillery battalion would have been swallowed up by the war zone.
However, if the artillery is hidden in a distant ravine, the concealment and safety are enough. The idea of blocking the road to Guyongfeng several miles before using artillery fire will not be realized. The Black Hawk Army can completely sway under the noses of the kingdom soldiers on the Snowflake Mountain position. The long spears and short cannons on the mountain position are beyond the reach.
"The Black Hawk Empire army will not be allowed to be divided into two groups, so how could they want to attack by rushing to attack?" Liu Lang woke up the dreamer with one sentence.
The three people reached a consensus on the deployment of the artillery battalion. The twelve mountain cannons of the artillery battalion were hidden 5 kilometers south of the snowflake mountain. The main function was to provide artillery fire support to the snowflake mountain position. At the same time, in order to prevent the roundabout sneak attacks commonly used by the Black Hawk Empire Army, the guards of the artillery battalion were an infantry battalion, and observation posts were sent two kilometers away from the artillery position.
Liu Lang's second opinion was that Huang Lanfeng was a little uncomprehensible. Liu Lang suggested that the 17th Division defended the danger and did not try to counterattack Luojin County, several kilometers away.
Not only because Liu Lang's suggestion is inconsistent with the tactics envisioned by Huang Lanfeng, but in fact, it is also a bit rigid in defense tactics.
It is actually the worst way to defend the enemy's defense, especially when facing the enemy's more advantageous firepower. Although it seems to be temporarily safe to hide in the turtle shell, no matter how hard the turtle shell is, it will sooner or later be broken. When the final defense is stripped away by the enemy, it is often the defensive time for the defender to die.
And the Stone Mountain of Snowflake Mountain is impossible to dig too deep trenches, let alone anti-cannon holes. Many important fortifications are built with sand and gravel in sacks. There is no big problem with anti-gun bullets, but if it is hit by a shell, it will be wiped out.
The military book also says: There is an attack in the defense, and the best strategy is.
Huang Lanfeng's idea was to use Xuehua Mountain as the base and continuously send troops to harass the supply base of Luojin County, the rear of the Black Eagle Army, and even counterattack the county town to establish fortifications, which cut off the Black Eagle Army's retreat, making them lose sight of one thing and unable to attack with all their strength, which also reduces the pressure on the defensive positions on the mountain.
Commander Wang's brows also frowned slightly.
Huang Lanfeng's idea actually coincides with him. This tactic of defending and leading offense can not only reduce the pressure on the frontal main battlefield, but also continuously attack the morale of the Black Hawks. In addition to mobile warfare, I am afraid that the Duchy Army's best ranks as the Duchy Army is defensive warfare. It is one of the killer weapons of many generals while the enemy charges wildly, and it has been effective.
"Using defense as defense, attack instead of defense, attack in defense, attack in defense, and defense in attack" is the best strategy for defensive warfare.
But Liu Lang came again this time and did the opposite. Of course, neither of them would think it was because Captain Liu was too young and did not understand this tactic.
When he fought in the ancient city, Liu Lang first carried the fortifications against the Black Hawk Imperial Army's cannons for eight days, and then all the surprise troops were out, and the heavy artillery of the Black Hawk Army was removed in one fell swoop, which set the most glorious battle in the kingdom since the war. This is almost a typical example of "attack in defense" like a textbook.
Liu Lang could only smile helplessly. The reason why he did not recommend the 17th Division to sneak attack and counterattack Luojin County was not because of the wrong tactic of defense and attacking the attacking in the middle.
"The purpose of the 17th Division's troops in Xuehua Mountain at this time was not to defend Xuehua Mountain, but to kill and injure the enemy in large quantities. In order to help the 17th Division attack the Black Hawk Empire Army more effectively, our independent regiment will send three anti-aircraft artillery platoons to establish air defense positions to reduce the threat from the sky." Liu Lang could only put forward the premise of aiming at the grand strategy and at the same time, and to deviate the topic.
Sure enough, after hearing that Liu Lang would provide assistance from three anti-aircraft gun platoons, Lieutenant General Huang's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to say, "What equipment are your anti-aircraft gun platoons?"
"I will give you four dual-equipped 20mm Suroton anti-aircraft guns, and six independent regiments can make anti-aircraft machine guns. When the battle is fierce, they can shoot flat to support the main position of the mountain." Commander Liu has made a lot of money now.
The 12 anti-aircraft guns have basically plundered all the anti-aircraft guns equipped with the fire platoon of the infantry battalion. In the direction of Beizhaoguan, which is about to fight, he can provide almost so many air defenses.
Just think about the more than 200-pound aviation bombs dropped by the Black Hawk Imperial Army bombers from high altitudes, an elite infantry squad or even a platoon might be wiped out, and Liu Lang's eyes were red. If Zhou Dapeng and his "Kingdom Aviation Army" could appear on the Lingpizhou battlefield now, he would be confident that he would not have to pay too much casualties to smash the entire 20th Division into a lump.
Unfortunately, he knew that he could not. The battlefield in Haicheng was much more tragic than here. The 750,000 Kingdom Army was fighting against more than 200,000 Black Hawk Army under hundreds of aircraft of the Black Hawk Empire Army and naval guns with a caliber of more than 200. Without them, they had entered the sky of Haicheng in October, and perhaps they could no longer see the Kingdom planes.
Even Liu Lang knew that Zhou Dapeng and the others must have fought fiercely. Although their performance exceeded the Type 96 aircraft equipped by the Black Hawk Navy, the number of 150 aircraft still seemed too few compared to the Black Hawk Army that could mobilize hundreds or even thousands of aircraft.
There are reports of the Kingdom Air Force dying in the war reports every day. Liu Lang knew that it also included the "Kingdom Air Force" who were not mentioned.
