Chapter 042: Wanzigu Nightmare 1 Asking for Everything
Chapter 042 Wanzigu Nightmare 1 (asking for everything)
(This story is purely fictitious. Those who don’t like it should not get close to it, and those who are psychologically fragile should not get close to it!)
"Yes. Commander, I will obey the arrangement." Jin Xibin did not think that the official position was a bit small. Today's experience made him understand that the generals under Commander Wu were only platoon leaders.
"Haha, that's good! As long as you work hard and truly integrate into our Red Army team, your official position will be great!" Wu Aihua patted Jin Xibin on the shoulder and laughed loudly.
Later, as Wu Aihua said, Jin Xibin's official position was really not small. After returning to Tianhua Mountain Base, his platoon commander was directly promoted to the commander of the artillery company before taking office for a day, and a few months later, he was promoted to the artillery battalion.
Battalion Commander, before the Anti-Japanese War, this guy had been promoted to the commander of the heavy artillery brigade of the independent detachment. His promotion speed was as fast as a rocket.
However, by that time, Jin Xibin's mentality was already very normal! Because, no matter how senior he was, he was just a student in front of Commander Wu Aihua. Commander Wu conquered the Red Army with his knowledge, wisdom and character
Everyone on the team!
At dawn, mist rises from the mountains around Tianhua Mountain. At the Rongshuping Independent Detachment Base of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in the hinterland of Tianhua Mountain, people are already surging with enthusiasm and excitement!
The soldiers of the inner line troops are having breakfast. After dinner, they will embark on the journey to fight for their own destiny and the orders of the entire Red Army.
"Platoon Commander Shen, will the enemy really enter the mountains today?" Qi Yeguo, commander of the 4th Marine Platoon sitting at the same table, asked. The food of the independent detachment is the same for both officers and soldiers, and the dishes are the same, but the platoon leaders will follow the instructions.
Make an appointment to sit together so that we can exchange some situations and experiences.
"The commander said that the enemy will enter the mountain today, so he will definitely enter the mountain!" Shen Ren didn't need to eat at first. As long as he had enough power, it wouldn't matter if he didn't eat for one month and two months. However, the intelligent system told him,
"We must live like a human being", so he chose to eat.
"That's right." Qi Yeguo originally wanted to discuss some secrets, but he wanted to make things boring. This Platoon Leader Shen is simply a typical person who is tight-lipped. No one can expect to get anything useful from him. Of course, he took the initiative to tell you.
except.
Last night, the 1st Marine Platoon had a lot of fun after returning. However, before going to bed, Zhong Shoufu still gathered all the platoon-level cadres together for a combat meeting.
In the past two months, under the influence of Wu Aihua, Zhong Shoufu and other grassroots officers of the Red Army are no longer the Wu Xiamen they used to be. Now, they are becoming more and more like commanders, thinking about the starting point of the problem and the perspective of looking at the problem, including
The art of battlefield command has undergone great changes. If this change can be expressed in two words, it is called "Tongtai", which means to think deeply and comprehensively when looking at and analyzing problems. For today's operations
, arrangements have been made long ago.
Since the enemy only has a few paths to enter the mountain, and there is only one path to the base, and considering that the enemy is at most a battalion or a regiment, the most intense firepower is mortars. As for the 75mm mountain cannon,
There is no way to pull them into the mountain. Therefore, the result of the discussion between Zhong Shoufu, Fu Lin, Shen Ren, Zhuang Xizhen and others is to give the enemy a fierce one! What does it mean to be fierce?
Zhong Shoufu and others decided to use all available tactics in Wanzi Valley, about 5 kilometers away from the base, to engage in a luring battle, positional warfare, blockade warfare, harassment warfare, assault warfare, and decapitation warfare.
.
If the National Army does not take the road to Wanzi Valley, Shen Ren will lead the soldiers of the special battle platoon to "lure the enemy deeper" and "harass" the National Army. Everyone analyzed: The purpose of the National Army entering the mountain is to wipe out the Red Army. See
The Red Army has no reason not to pursue, and there is absolutely no reason to withdraw from the mountainous area before suffering heavy losses. Then, in this process, the Red Army will have great potential.
Wanzi Valley is a small basin. There is a road from outside the mountain, and then a road at the bottom of the valley leads directly to the base. This is a typical good place to tie pockets. Wanzi Valley is about 1 kilometer long and 500 to 600 meters wide.
Mi, for the enemy, it is no problem for thousands of people to come in, and the Red Army does not have artillery, so Zhong Shoufu and others estimate that even if the national army estimates that there may be an ambush in Wanzi Valley, they will not give up easily.
The equipment of the internal troops is better than that of the external troops. There are 4 heavy machine guns and more than 30 light machine guns. Ammunition is supplied unlimitedly. Their plan to annihilate the enemy is:
The 4 heavy machine guns of the machine gun platoon and the 3 light machine guns of the 2nd Marine Platoon formed a blocking position at the bottom of Wanzi Valley. Of course, before the machine gun battle started, there must be a mine feast composed of grenades. This position is both
The mainstay of this battle must also give the enemy a head-on blow!
The 3rd and 4th platoons of Marines were ambushing on the left and right sides of Wanzi Valley respectively. Their mission was to eliminate the national soldiers trying to enter the jungle. Each of the two platoons had 3 light machine guns. In order to strengthen their strength, Shen Ren proposed to
Of the only six quasi-snipers in the interior troops, two were assigned to them.
The 5th and 6th Marine Platoons with 6 light machine guns were ambushed at the mouth of the valley. No matter how many national troops there were, they would be put in, and then they would be responsible for tying their pockets while the national troops were escaping.
The reserve team consists of a female soldier platoon, baggage platoon and 8th Marine Platoon, ready to enter the battlefield at any time. Among them, the 8th Marine Platoon also has 3 light machine guns. The three platoons add up to 114 people, which is a good assault force.
The base defense force is composed of people from the 9th Marine Platoon and the Production Department to prevent small groups of enemies from entering the base. Three light machine guns from the 9th Marine Platoon are set up in the fortifications in the canyon at the entrance of the base. Zhong Shoufu and others believe that the National Army
No matter how many there are, it is impossible to break into the base unless the enemy has artillery. According to the commander, only a mortar with direct fire can pose a threat to the machine gun position.
These forces are all fixed. In addition, the internal combat force also has a strategic mobile force, which is led by Shen Ren and consists of 12 soldiers in a special operations platoon and 2 snipers, including Shen Ren.
A mobile force of 15 people.
The mission of this strategic force, for which Shen Ren is absolutely responsible, is, first, to unconditionally destroy the enemy's artillery; second, to unconditionally destroy the enemy's machine gunners; and third, to unconditionally destroy the enemy's commander!
The Army's temporary 4th Brigade 1st Regiment He Guoxiang Department, as Zhang Liansan's fist unit, its equipment is also very impressive.
The troops directly under the regiment include 1 60-mm mortar platoon with 4 60-mm mortars; 1 heavy machine gun company with 12 Maxim heavy machine guns; 1 guard company, one of which is equipped with a US-made submachine gun; 1
The reconnaissance company also has a platoon equipped with American submachine guns, and there are also semi-combat units such as the baggage company.
There are three battalions of the main force of the country. The troops directly under the battalion include 1 machine gun platoon, 4 heavy machine guns, 4 light machine guns, 1 guard platoon, and 1 reconnaissance platoon; each battalion has three companies, and the establishment of each company is 128
people.
The total strength of He Guoxiang's regiment is about 2,000. The number of direct combatants of the Red Army who want to fight sap is about 300, and the strength ratio is 7:1.
In this era, the equipment configuration of the National Army has entered into a misunderstanding, that is, heavy firepower is mostly directly controlled by commanders above the battalion and regiments, and the company and platoon level are basically rifles. Even during the later Anti-Japanese War, a National Army often appeared
The company only had one light machine gun or even one machine gun. With such equipment, it was surprising that the Chinese army could win the battle when faced with the Japanese army's crooked allocation of machine guns to squads and grenade launchers to squads.
This is not to say that the Chinese army has never won battles. The Chinese army has also fought many victorious battles, such as the Battle of Taierzhuang, but it was at the cost of many times the number of enemy personnel sacrificed.
Therefore, even if a regiment of national troops invades Wanzi Valley, as long as its mortars and heavy machine guns cannot exert their power, no matter how many people there are, it will not have much effect.
At 6:30 in the morning on January 25, 1935, the internal troops of the independent detachment entered the position and began to use the terrain to build various fortifications. The machine gunners knocked down some trees to maintain their firing range.
At about the same time, the He Guoxiang Regiment of the Army's temporary 4th Brigade set off from a small town about 8 kilometers away. (Note that the straight-line distance from Tianhua Mountain Base to Changting is 20 kilometers, and the actual distance is at least 30 kilometers. Therefore, on the 24th
He Guoxiang's troops advanced 17 kilometers after dark.)
He Guoxiang was wearing a brand-new national army colonel's uniform today and was riding on a white war horse. He looked very energetic and attracted envious eyes from the guards around him.
For He Guoxiang himself, today is also a very meaningful day in his life. He has also suppressed "bandits" before, but he has never been completely under his own independent command like today!
If Wu Aihua saw this scene, he would definitely say "###!" Is such an obvious goal to bully the Red Army for not having snipers?
In the past, the Red Army only had sharpshooters, but it did not have snipers. Moreover, the sharpshooters of the Red Army in the past did not have as much operational "autonomy" as the snipers in Wu Aihua's hands.
He Guoxiang still had some military common sense. He ordered the regiment's reconnaissance company to be at the forefront, responsible for reconnoitring the enemy's situation, and at the same time searching the mountains and forests as much as possible. In He Guoxiang's view, this "red bandit" had no ability except to drill into the mountains and forests.
However, due to the restricted terrain, other troops only moved forward one battalion after another, and it was impossible to divide echelons in between.
Perhaps due to fate, He Guoxiang's destination today was Wanzi Valley, and Shen Ren and others even omitted the trick of luring the enemy.
He Guoxiang's plan is to occupy Wanzi Valley, control the mouth of the valley and the valley floor, and establish a temporary regiment command post in it. The large troops and regiment headquarters will live in it, which is very safe, and then send troops out to search every day. As long as "red" is found,
After seeing the traces of "bandits", they immediately marched in and stuck tightly to the opponent, leaving the red bandits with nowhere to escape.
He Guoxiang's wishes are good, and the morale of He Guoxiang's regiment is also high at this time, but what will be the result?
