"Regiment, according to the latest news, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese troops of Qinyuan, Tunliu, and Changzi after the battle at the Ducun stronghold. Among them, an unsatisfied brigade of the Japanese troops in Tunliu was completely wiped out by the New Second Regiment.
At Jiakou, the other two routes also severely damaged the Japanese army and captured a lot of money!" the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment said with a solemn expression.
"Regiment, the Eighth Route Army should not be underestimated. In just a few years, it has grown from more than 40,000 people to its current size. No wonder Chief Yan and Chairman Chiang regard it as a serious problem! I am very curious about how poor and white it is.
How did the Eighth Route Army develop?"
After hearing this, Chu Yunfei shook his head and said with emotion: "Brother Ligong, you have only seen the surface. This trip to the Eighth Route Army really opened my eyes. The Eighth Route Army has been making progress, but our army has stagnated.
"
"The weapons and equipment of the main force of the Eighth Route Army may not be as good as our army, but the quality and mental outlook of its personnel are far behind our army. Even the innovation of tactics has lagged behind the Eighth Route Army. You know that I am with the Eighth Route Army's new second army this time.
What did you see during the group battle?"
Fang Ligong was startled for a moment. He really couldn't think of anything else that could surprise Chu Yunfei, a general from Huangpu Military Academy.
"The Eighth Route Army actually formed an elite small force similar to Yamamoto's special agent team. After the district chief's headquarters was attacked in World War II, a branch of our army emphasized strengthening guard work, but the Eighth Route Army was ahead of us. What does this mean?
?" Chu Yunfei smiled contemptuously.
"It shows that not only the Eighth Route Army is developing extremely fast, but there are also a group of generals like Zhou Weihan who have extremely high tactical literacy and strategic vision. Haha, if this continues, what are we going to do to fight against the Eighth Route Army?"
Fang Ligong was silent for a long time. As a serious graduate of the Shanxi Military and Political School, he has been in the military for many years, but he still holds the position of chief of staff and his military rank is only lieutenant colonel.
But thinking about Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong felt relieved. He had seen too many of the army's gougings.
"Regiment, one thing I find strange is that the Japanese troops who fought with the supplementary battalion of the New Second Regiment actually retained most of their strength and returned to Anze County. It stands to reason that the New Second Regiment should still have some remaining strength after easily annihilating the Japanese troops stationed in Tun Liu.
To counterattack the Japanese army in Anze, according to the Eighth Route Army's past habits, they should not give up such an excellent opportunity easily!" Fang Ligong said doubtfully.
"Humph, brother Ligong, you have never seen Zhou Weihan. He is a guy who doesn't play by the rules. He is stumbling upon our 358th regiment. He doesn't want us to live too comfortably!"
Chu Yunfei sneered, raised his eyebrows, squinted at Fang Ligong and said.
"Then the weapons and equipment promised to Zhou Weihan will still be honored? Shangfeng is very careful about this kind of thing!" Fang Ligong said worriedly.
"Of course I have to give it. I, Chu Yunfei, am not a person who breaks his word. Besides, everyone in the observation group knows that the Eighth Route Army sent people to help us remove the serious troubles we have. We are just giving some equipment. This kind of favor is not beneficial.
The matter of fees makes sense even when we get to Commander Yan!"
"Where is Qian Bojun's first battalion now?" Chu Yunfei asked.
"The first battalion has been stationed in the Shijiazuo area in accordance with the order of the regiment headquarters!"
"Very good, Shijiazanai is a strategic location. If you advance, you can intimidate the Japanese army. If you retreat, you can join the regiment headquarters. It can also block a road for the Eighth Route Army to go south. Maybe it will come in handy at some point!" Chu Yunfei said playfully!
.
On the surface, Zhou Weihan is in the first year of junior high school and Chu Yunfei is in the fifteenth year. In fact, the two have a tacit understanding. After all, although the two sides are working together to fight against Japan, both Principal Yan Xishan and Principal Chang are taking strict precautions.
Especially for Principal Chang, the domestic and international situation forced him to unite with the Communist Party to fight against Japan, but he never stopped thinking about suppressing the Communist Party in his heart. Chu Yunfei did not want to show too close to him, otherwise he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake.
Not letting go of the eight-hundred-year rule, even if Chu Yunfei was born in Huangpu, he would have to get a gun sooner or later.
New Second Regiment, Chenjiayu.
Zhou Weihan held a special combat summary meeting on this combat operation. This is a fine tradition of the Eighth Route Army, and the New Second Regiment is no exception.
"Let's talk about it, starting from the first battalion!" Zhou Weihan sat at one end and glanced at everyone present.
"Commander, in this battle, five of our soldiers from the first battalion were injured while fighting with the little Japanese with bayonets." Jing Dagang first talked about the casualties of the first battalion.
"It can be said that our first battalion got a bargain this time. In the original battle, we only knew how to take advantage of the terrain and ambush the enemy from a high position.
However, judging from this battle, the tactics can be further deepened. The power of burying the little devil alive this time is really too great. The little devil basically has no room to resist. He may still be able to use water attacks and fire attacks in the future."
Jing Dagang said thoughtfully.
...
Zhou Weihan nodded and looked at Wang Yigong and Gao Zhiheng.
"Captain, in this battle of Shidu Town, the battle went smoothly when each company attacked the city gate. However, after entering the city, the organization of the troops was disrupted. They lacked experience in street fighting. Fortunately, the enemy was even more chaotic."
Wang Yigong said.
Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this. Gao Yigong was telling the truth. At this time, our country's army generally lacked the skills needed for street fighting.
Street fighting is not only difficult to fight, but it is also a meat grinder in war, with extremely high casualty rates. Therefore, no army likes street fighting. The most famous street fighting in World War II included the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Moscow.
During the Battle of Stalingrad, the Soviet Union and Germany fought fiercely in the city streets.
Street fighting, also known as "urban warfare". As the name suggests, it is a battle that takes place in the suburban streets of the city, from house to street. Both sides are fighting hand to hand, and the enemy and ourselves are mixed together. The probability of close combat is very high, and it is extremely dangerous.
.
Fighting in the streets, all kinds of winding streets, complex landforms, and enemies hiding in the dark make street fighting full of unpredictable factors. Once the soldiers come into contact, there will be artillery fire coverage from the rear, aircraft bombing cover, etc.
It has lost its meaning. Once the observer reports the coordinates to the gun position, the slightest deviation in the shooting parameters of the artillery will cause great accidental damage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Weihan also has no experience in street fighting. Excluding weapons and equipment, street fighting tests the ability of grassroots commanders to respond to unexpected battle situations and the cooperation between soldiers.
"Captain, there were many problems in this battle, such as the coordination of infantry and artillery. The infantry rushed into the city in a swarm, but the artillery that followed failed to keep up. The soldiers could only rely on their bodies to blow up the enemy's fire points.
Also, after entering the city, the battle was too scattered, and you could only listen to the sound of gunfire to identify where support was needed. Basically, it was a squad-based unit, which tested the squad leader's commanding ability.
Even among the dozen or so soldiers fighting together, there were actually soldiers from three different companies." Wang Yigong's words were confusing, but Zhou Weihan understood.
To put it bluntly, it is a problem of the organization and cohesion of an army. The problem is the stickiness unique to the Eighth Route Army.
In Zhou Weihan's view, if this battle was fought by one battalion, at least there would be no situation where the soldiers could not find the generals and the generals could not find the troops.
Zhou Weihan had no good way to deal with this. He could only let the soldiers get more familiar with each other. When the battle started, there were many situations where the organization was disrupted.
Fortunately, according to the situation of the Eighth Route Army, street fighting is not the mainstream, and most of it is still field fighting.
Then several company commanders of the supplementary battalion made a summary.
The supplementary battalion suffered more than 150 casualties in this battle. Fortunately, Dong Jiang led the reconnaissance company and guard company to provide timely support, which prevented greater casualties.
"You don't need to be downcast. The soldiers fought very tenaciously and bravely. After all, you are facing more than 500 well-trained and well-equipped Japanese troops. With the same strength, it is already outstanding to be able to complete the blocking mission.
