Chapter 34 Captain Ding analyzes the battle situation

 Almost along the route that the third company commander took him to see Zhang Dabiao, Wang Chengzhu and the acting squad leader of the artillery squad who followed him walked back to the regiment headquarters. In a small courtyard two narrow alleys away from the Military Affairs Office,

The leader of the new regiment was sitting under the eaves with the political commissar, studying the recent battle situation together under the western sun.

Since the relatively fierce battle last month, the First Army of the Shengyang Kingdom's invasion force stationed in Bingzhou had not taken any major military actions in early March. This is an obvious shortcoming of the "cage policy". "Using the railway as a

"Pillars, roads as chains, and bunkers as locks" sounds exquisite, but the actual effect is that the base areas of the Second Theater and the 18th Group Army were cut into pieces.

All of this is inseparable from the mutual support and maintenance of combatants. However, the invading army comes from afar, and the pressure on logistics support and soldier organization has always been great. Many ordinary soldiers of the Sun Kingdom have been participating in the war for almost ten years, and have never been scheduled to return home for a rest.

The holidays can be said to be exhausting both physically and mentally.

The same is true for the servant troops of the Shengyang Kingdom's invading army. The Silla soldiers did the hardest work and received the meager salary. If life in northern Shanxi was not much more comfortable than at home, it might be ordinary than Shengyang.

Soldiers miss their hometown and relatives even more.

The status of the pseudo-security forces and pseudo-garrison forces transformed by the invading army is better than the previous two, but only slightly better. First, they have not been a puppet army for a long time, and most of them are pseudo-security forces that surrendered to local troops and were reorganized into the army.

There is not much difference from the living conditions before the flag was changed; secondly, in the battle sequence of the invading army, they only played the role of stabilizing public security and exploring the way forward. The hard work on weekdays was done by Silla soldiers and local enlisted civilians;

Thirdly, their military camps are not in one place, and the pseudo-security forces are not completely trusted. They only attend and listen to orders when there are combat meetings, and cooperate with the invading army in wartime operations.

The Pseudo Garrison Army is mainly composed of unemployed refugees in cities and towns, and was trained and reorganized by the invading army. But looking at the supplies and equipment, it is similar to the fourth-class D division and independent mixed brigade of the invading army. It usually trains with the invading army and in the stronghold

, garrisoned together in bunkers to assist the invading army in carrying out mopping up missions in guerrilla zones and base areas.

The new regiment commander Ding Wei analyzed with the political commissar sitting across from him: "The nearby enemy forces have been relatively calm in the past ten days, which is due to insufficient troops. The "cage policy" certainly made the 18th Army very uncomfortable, but the invading army itself

It wasn't much better. The soldiers of the invading army were treated like pepper noodles by their superiors. They were dismantled and organized into batches to fight public security wars. This was obviously a sign of insufficient military strength.

"The Shengyang Army dispatched the invading draft horse division and the draft horse division, and are currently facing a front-line confrontation with the Central Army. The last time they encountered it was the fourth independent mixed brigade. Counting the brigade directly under Sakata Nobutetsu, there were six to seven thousand

There were so many people that they surrounded our army and fought for two or three days.

"Fortunately, the division headquarters and field hospital evacuated quickly, and the former regiment commander led the troops to counterattack. He killed the enemy brigade commander in one fell swoop and broke the encirclement. Including the 772 regiment and youth who covered the retreat of the new regiment.

For the anti-Japanese war column, the casualties in this battle were close to one to one.

"In the past three months, the enemy army and our army have been summing up combat experience and replenishing combat personnel, equipment and supplies. Most of them cannot afford to fight a big battle. Small-scale raids have to be prevented, so I decided to send a telegram to the brigade headquarters to apply for organization.

Soldiers of company and platoon size cooperate with county brigades, district squads and other local guerrilla armed forces to carry out counter-mopping up and exhaustion warfare against the enemy."

The political commissar couldn't help but nod when he heard what the regiment leader said. After the telegram of request for battle was finished, he added: "Commander Ding, I suggest that when the soldiers of the company and platoon attack, the same number or even double the number of soldiers should be needed to cooperate. When it is advantageous,

Establish temporary camps on the terrain to facilitate the attacking team to get out of the battle for supplies and establish contact."

After hearing the political commissar's opinions, the regiment leader was very satisfied and asked the political commissar to draft and polish the contents of the message. He reported it to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible so that he could start organizing the troops and implement the combat plan.

While the political commissar was writing at his desk, the regimental leader stood up, stretched his waist, and stretched his numb legs and feet.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door, and Zhang Dabiao shouted at the door: "Commander, political commissar, open the door! Our combat hero is back from injury!"

The group leader responded: "Coming, coming." He quickly took a few steps to open the door latch and welcomed the two people standing at the door of the courtyard in.

The acting squad leader of the artillery came back from a moving mission, and he didn't bother to wash up and rest. He followed Wang Chengzhu and wandered around the village for a few more times. When he passed by the service company barracks just now, Wang Chengzhu asked him that he didn't need to follow him. Please go back to the room first.

Clean up. If you need anything, don’t worry, I’ll do it this afternoon.

The first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao said to the regiment commander: "Report to the regiment commander, the new regiment directly under the artillery squad Wang Chengzhu brought." He raised his left hand and pointed at the man in blue and gray military uniforms, "When Commander Li led the team to break out, it was Comrade Wang Chengzhu.

On the position before the counter-charge, two artillery shells hit the enemy's command post. Killing a colonel, two lieutenants and a major of the Sakata Regiment, they made great contributions to the New Regiment's breakthrough of the enemy's organizational encirclement, and also allowed Li

The leader has made the difference."

The regiment leader glanced at Wang Chengzhu, turned sideways and raised his right hand to signal Zhang Dabiao to lead people into the yard: "First battalion commander, take people in and sit down. How do you stand at the door and talk? The political commissar is also inside." As he spoke,

Walking back to the eaves, "You're welcome, just grab a bowl and pour some water yourself."

When Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu walked into the yard, they held up a bench and the two sat down not far from the table of the political commissar of the regiment leader. The regiment leader carried a blue and white porcelain pot and poured half of the soup into each of the two four-inch soup bowls.

A bowl of warm water for people to drink from.

Zhang Dabiao had just come from his yard and waved his hand to express his gratitude without coming forward.

Wang Chengzhu walked on the mountain road for two or three hours in the afternoon, and took a break when he encountered a sentry. It had been almost an hour since he last drank water. So he did not hesitate to go up and pick up half a bowl of warm water, and drank it in small sips.
While Wang Chengzhu was drinking water, Zhang Dabiao described Wang Chengzhu's experience and results to the new regiment leader and political commissar. The thirty-nine-year-old regiment leader Ding nodded repeatedly, and the political commissar spoke with approval: "Comrade Wang Chengzhu, it turns out to be Director Zhao

He is a great disciple. He is so amazing and a natural-born main gunner."

The regiment leader agreed with the political commissar's words and praised Wang Chengzhu. He turned to Zhang Dabiao and said: "First Battalion Commander, the political commissar and I just studied the battle situation and prepared to apply to our superiors for counter-mopping operations." Seeing Wang Chengzhu finish drinking the water, he put down his bowl.

After that, he continued, "Considering the previous battles, the first battalion lost more combatants and weapons and equipment. This time, the plan is to focus on the first battalion, with veterans teaching each other, so that the newly added soldiers can run in as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness. The second battalion

He and the Third Battalion served as support and reinforcements to assist the First Battalion in carrying out company and platoon-level counter-mopping operations."

Zhang Dabiao was extremely happy when he heard that the First Battalion was the main force. He directly boasted to the regiment commander: "Commander, the First Battalion can handle this task. We must make sure that the invading enemy has no way to come back, and they can do the work of digging railways and roads, and hand over

Just give it to Sanlian."

The political commissar wrote the telegram, and when the ink was dry, he heard Zhang Dabiao's words and criticized: "First Battalion Commander, this plan is a small-scale battle organized by the regiment. The combat personnel of the first battalion need to be divided into companies and platoons to coordinate

The local guerrillas are fighting, not for you to use a big sword."

After the regiment leader and other political commissars finished speaking, he added: "To destroy roads and railways, not only the guerrillas and mobilized masses, but also the companies under the first battalion have to participate in labor to increase the speed of destruction, even if they have to remove cover and alert." Seeing Zhang Dabiao straighten his waist.

After it collapsed, he gave two more sweet dates, "This plan focuses on improving the combat effectiveness of the supplementary troops. In addition to the trophies handed over to the brigade headquarters, we can let the first battalion choose half."

When Wang Chengzhu saw Zhang Dabiao's expression next to him, he couldn't help feeling that this man's face looked like the sky in March, and he could change at any time.

Wang Chengzhu, who was present when he heard the battle plan, was not only done after hearing the plan, he also received the appointment to return to the team. That is, he returned to the artillery squad and continued to serve as the squad leader and chief shooter, training and training mortar shooters. In this battle plan

After the implementation begins, cooperate with the second and third battalions to carry out support operations.
