Chapter 271 Steel Collision 7 Seeking Popularity in the New Week
Chapter 271 Steel Collision 7 (New week, asking for red flowers!)
The National Defense Forces have a wartime instant messaging system. Battle reports, etc., can be issued completely by clear telex or telephone conference, and can go directly to the battalion level or even to the squad (the squad refers to the special forces, and the Marine Corps generally goes to the company).
In this way, the transmission at the intermediate level is reduced, which helps ensure that the soldiers fully understand the meaning of victory and adjust their mentality in a timely manner.
Naturally, it is impossible to communicate combat orders in a clear code or this direct way.
The commander of the Sixth Army, Li Yangjing, rarely spoke since the war began. His orders were brief and forceful, and he kept a straight face. Even when the 064th Division annihilated the Japanese 57th Tank Regiment, the Sixth Army
The biggest result so far is that Li Yangjing’s face has not changed at all.
"Order: Zhang Tongqing leads the 063rd Division, which is directly under the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Rocket Artillery Brigade. The guard regiment directly under the Group Army immediately prepares and sets off, quickly joins the 061st Division, and launches a full-scale attack on the Japanese 3rd Division!"
"Order: The attack on the enemy by the 065th Division, the 064th Division, the 061st Division and their affiliated units is postponed until 5 p.m.!"
After finishing a cigarette, Li Yangjing changed the battle order of Ye Si.
"Commander, what about Ye Si?" Huang Zhiling, chief of staff of the Sixth Group Army, reminded.
"As for Ye Si, I will personally go over and explain." Li Yangjing said firmly.
"I agree with the commander's order." Wu Deqin, deputy commander of the Sixth Group Army, supported.
"Haha, I also agree with the commander's order. Aren't I worried that Ye Si will misunderstand him?" Huang Zhiling laughed and expressed his worries easily.
However, Huang Zhiling did not agree to Li Yangjing's explanation in person, but he went as the chief of staff. An hour later, Huang Zhiling returned to the military command happily, "The commander, deputy commander, and wild secretary agreed to our changes; and
He also said that we made good changes and were more thoughtful!"
The reason why Li Yangjing changed the order for the general offensive of the battle was based on the exchange of fire between the Sixth Army and the Japanese army for most of the day. Objectively speaking, although the divisions of the National Defense Force were suppressing the Japanese army, this was only partial. As far as the entire Japanese army's defense line was concerned,
, has not suffered a fundamental blow. In this case, the Japanese army will naturally have no other ideas; however, if the three main divisions suddenly attack the enemy in front of them with all their strength, who can guarantee that the Japanese army will not have a "breakout" etc.
Weird idea?
Don't think that the tank troops of the National Defense Forces are invincible. In this water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the Japanese army can render the tank troops useless with just a little use of their brains. Strictly speaking, the current equipment of the National Defense Forces is particularly suitable for mechanization.
However, in the Jiangnan water town, this advantage is likely to turn into a disadvantage because it is limited by roads and geographical environment. Similarly, the heavy artillery units of the National Defense Forces are still subject to such geographical restrictions.
When the National Defense Forces arrived in Zhejiang from Fujian and Guangdong provinces, they did not feel this disadvantage. That was because no one destroyed roads and bridges, and they did not have to chase the enemy. The reason why the National Defense Forces did not suffer from this disadvantage during the few hours of full-scale war was that
Because the Japanese troops were hiding in the fortifications, the National Defense Forces were fighting tough battles, not "mobile" battles. The 064th Division Tank Regiment was able to achieve the result of annihilating the Japanese 57th Tank Regiment because the Japanese took the initiative to attack and penetrated
The Wehrmacht is about to form an encirclement.
What would be the result if the Japanese tank regiment was escaping in front and the Wehrmacht tank regiment was chasing behind?
Li Yangjing thought of these problems and decided to devote all the battle reserves of the group army to the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 3rd Division, completely cutting off the Japanese army's dream of returning to Shanghai. Even if the Japanese 18th Division came from the direction of Songjiang to rush for reinforcements
, because of the existence of the 062nd Division and the three "wartime reconnaissance groups" that cooperated in the operation, it was impossible for the Japanese army to escape.
Zhang Tongqing, commander of the 063 Division, who received the order to set off, immediately ordered the division's direct engineering barracks to set off quickly, open roads in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water. He must ensure that the entire division's combat troops are not blocked by road traffic.
Half an hour later, the 063 Division, its 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Rocket Artillery Brigade, and the nearly 30,000-strong guard group directly under the Army Group packed up their gear and set off with their motors roaring in just half an hour.
The time left for the 063rd Division to march was only 4 hours, and the straight-line distance from Deqing to Hongxi and Yaozhuang in the northeast of Jiaxing was 40 kilometers, and the actual distance was more than 60 kilometers. This was a big problem for the 063rd Division.
A small test.
To be honest, the engineering unit of the National Defense Force did not have a high status in Wu Aihua's army-building consciousness, and its importance was not that obvious.
Because every soldier in the National Defense Force has an engineering shovel behind his back, ordinary troops can complete a small amount of work. In addition, each combat unit's baggage team has a large number of linen bags. When encountering the 2-meter
For the rivers below, you can fill up the river by taking a few shovels of linen bags and filling them with soil. These linen bags are mostly used for temporary fortifications when encountering enemies. A squad of soldiers uses engineer shovels and linen bags.
, it only takes half an hour to build a fortification for the whole class to use. This fortification also includes anti-blast holes.
Therefore, the role of the engineering force is indeed difficult to reflect.
However, the engineering force cannot be dispensed with! In this regard, Wu Aihua's method is to reduce the size of its personnel, improve its equipment level, and strengthen the quality of its personnel.
The engineering corps, like the baggage corps, were the first two armies to implement mechanized transportation. The vehicles of the engineering corps were all heavy-duty trucks, with steel, cement and other construction materials ready at any time, as well as car inner tubes, inflators, small
Excavators, cutting machines, generators and other equipment gave the engineering troops a shadow of the pontoon troops of later generations.
The personnel quality of the engineering force can even be said to be the highest among all the forces. Basically, people at the company commander level are people who majored in engineering and construction at regular universities, and ordinary soldiers are mostly skilled craftsmen in the private sector.
Wu Aihua has a far-sighted view. Although the engineering troops during combat do not seem to be of much use, in the historical war of resistance, our army's engineering troops were also unsystematic and unscaled, but they still won the war. However, the National Defense Forces maintain this engineering force, which is not
Focus on wartime, but focus on postwar.
China is too backward, the most backward of which is transportation and education. The latter is the so-called "cultivating people within a hundred years". It can be slower, but the transportation problem cannot be slower. A step slower will mean that the development of the entire society will be slower or even slower.
Two steps.
In later generations of countries, although the slogan "If you want to get rich, build roads first" has been shouted for many years, the road network was truly formed in the 21st century. Only in the true sense of "every village connected" can the country's roads be organically connected.
Together. In this era, there is almost no decent road in China.
In any case, the 063 Division Engineer Battalion lived up to the expectations of division commander Zhang Tongqing. They actually strengthened a bridge and widened a road several hundred meters, thus ensuring the smooth passage of the 063 Division.
That bridge was deformed due to excessive pressure when armored fighting vehicles were passed over it. According to tests, it must be reinforced, otherwise the bridge may collapse when an unknown vehicle passes over it.
The same principle applies to that stretch of road. If you are not in a hurry, you can pass it, it just has to be a little slower. However, after testing, experts from the engineering battalion found that it is only a few hundred meters of road. If
If several key places are not widened, the division's thousands of vehicles may be delayed here for an additional half an hour.
In fact, when the engineering battalion widened this section of road, it only took half an hour.
After the battle, Wu Aihua saw the report about the 063rd Division Engineer Battalion. When he saw this paragraph, Wu Aihua said a shocking saying: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces!"
…
Because of the role of the engineer battalion, the forward troops of the 063 Division finally successfully joined forces with the security troops of the 061 Division at 4:50 p.m., and just 10 minutes later, the 063 Division's howitzer regiment, tank regiment, directly affiliated rocket launcher battalion, and anti-aircraft gun battalion also arrived at the designated position.
, marking the successful end of the march, and also the final completion of the National Defense Force's campaign deployment.
The two main divisions of the Sixth Group Army gathered together, and according to the order of the Secretary, the "Hongyao Combat Command" officially began to operate. Huang Tingzhen, commander of the 061 Division, served as the commander, Zhang Tongqing, commander of the 063 Division, served as the deputy commander, and the remaining two divisions
Division personnel become staff of the command headquarters, and forward operations are the specific responsibility of each marine regiment.
Yaozhuang is where the 9th Regiment of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army is stationed. Throughout the morning, the 1st Regiment of the 061st Division of the National Defense Force was responsible for the attack, although the heavy artillery brigade directly under the Group Army was also arranged to fight in Yaozhuang.
, However, because the Japanese army's fortifications relied on the terrain, they were very strong and very concealed. The 150mm cannon destroyed the village buildings near Yaozhuang three times, but the Japanese army was still very tenacious. As soon as the artillery fire stopped, they would emerge from the ground.
.
Detective Huang Zhen originally wanted to transfer the armored brigade directly under the group army back to Yaozhuang, but the armored brigade directly under the group army was responsible for the attack on Yangmiao. Yangmiao was the location of the division headquarters of the Japanese 3rd Division. Yangmiao not only had the Japanese 10th Regiment.
, as well as the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Tank Regiment attached to the 3rd Division; in addition, the 3rd Regiment of the 061 Division conducted a diversionary attack on the enemy in Hongxi, while the Japanese army stationed a
The entire 6th Brigade and the 3rd Regiment of the 061 Division are generally defensive.
However, this does not mean that Huang Tingzhen has no way to defeat the Japanese army. After all, the battle only started for a few hours, and the National Defense Forces were generally still in a tentative attack. In the war, no one used special tricks as soon as they started.
Before the group army commander Li Yangjing dispatched the battle reserve team, Huang Tingzhen was also thinking that it is not difficult to defeat the 3rd Division, but it is very difficult to annihilate it. Regarding the "stuck position" of the 062 Division, it is very correct strategically and tactically.
It also has a great effect, but don't think that the Japanese army can't return to Shanghai. Compared with most armies in China, the Japanese army at this time is definitely a ferocious beast. In addition, the fighting area belongs to the Taihu Basin. If they are allowed to
After escaping, they ran around in chaos. If the National Defense Force wanted to annihilate them in a short time, they really didn't have many options.
The question is, who can bear the consequences?
This is also the reason why Li Yangjing, commander of the Sixth Army, had a "sad face" the whole day.
