When Duanwu said that the opportunity had come, Tang Enbo listened even more intently.
At this time, Duanwu continued: "The troops we dispatch should be mainly fast mobile troops. The weapons they hold are preferably submachine guns, light machine guns, grenade launchers, light mortars, etc. If there is a lack of automatic weapons
, a small amount of rifles can be replenished.
But in contrast, soldiers holding rifles must have high shooting accuracy to avoid insufficient firepower during an ambush and being unable to eliminate the enemy in a short period of time.
Combat units are based on regiments. Two infantry regiments are enough. They are matched with a fast-moving artillery squad. Eight trucks, medium or large-caliber mountain guns, rapid-fire guns, and cannons are all available. There are eight in total, carrying two hundred
It's enough to fire cannonballs.
The above are the basic units of our operations. As for our large army, let's take the 13th Army as an example. Excluding the previous troops, you should still have nearly two divisions. In these two divisions, except for the baggage troops that have retreated to the rear,
Except for leaving the necessary security forces to protect your military headquarters, all other troops will move forward and make slow detours from both sides of the place where the Japanese army must pass.
In fact, if I follow my usual style, the headquarters will follow the troops directly, which will make it more convenient to command on the front line."
Upon hearing this, Tang Enbo quickly said: "I can also move my headquarters to the front line."
Duanwu smiled and said: "No, as of now, I am the only commander who can command troops on the front line and escape unscathed. This is a matter of battlefield survival.
Of course, I'm not looking down on you, Lao Tang, but if you don't have the absolute ability to survive on a war-torn battlefield, then I don't recommend you to take command on the front line. Because once the battle fails, you will become a drag on the entire army.
So, as long as you know this, you must not follow the troops to fight on the front line like me.
Okay, let's get down to business, let's start with the strength of your two divisions.
The troops of these two divisions will enter the front line to conduct roundabout operations. How to roundabout and how to fight depends on the leading ambush troops you send, which are your two infantry regiments and a mobile artillery battalion.
Let's talk about the ambush operation of two infantry regiments first.
If an ambush is carried out according to common sense, how will the troops of these two regiments ambush?
He would ambush the enemy's only route and surprise the Japanese vanguard.
For example, the leading force of the Japanese army is an infantry brigade, and the infantry brigade will send an infantry squad to the front for reconnaissance.
And what about your two infantry regiments? They will let this reconnaissance team pass, and then ambush the Japanese infantry brigade."
At this time, Tang Enbo nodded and said: "Yes, this is generally the tactic used in ambushes."
But at this time, Duanwu smiled and said: "This is not advisable. Let's not talk about the problem that this tactic has been used. Let's talk about whether the strength of your two regiments can annihilate this infantry brigade in a short time.
Of course, if your two groups have as many people as my independent group, then just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Tang Enbo chuckled and said: "Where is this? My regiment may not have as many troops as your battalion, and the weapons and equipment are also very different."
At this time, Duanwu said: "That's the truth. Even if you take two main regiments, your total strength will be twice that of the enemy. Even if you ambush, it is impossible to annihilate an enemy with two regiments."
A Japanese army brigade.
Then, this problem is back to the original point. If we cannot annihilate the enemy in a short time, let’s not talk about the replenishment of weapons and ammunition. Once you are bitten by the Japanese army, the large troops behind him will come in a steady stream for reinforcements.
.
In this case, our ambush will not only fail to achieve the expected effect, but will also most likely fall into great passivity.
Therefore, we cannot do this. We need to change our thinking. While sending scouts to monitor the movements of the Japanese army at all times, we also send two companies or even a battalion to ambush the leading team of the Japanese army's vanguard.
There are only about fifty people in the vanguard team. If you send out two companies, there must be at least two to three hundred people, right? With so many people, even if there is no need to lay landmines, it will only take a matter of minutes to kill a Japanese team.
But to be on the safe side, we used two or three land mines to blow him up and stun him, and then all weapons, including grenades, were fired at the little devil.
At this time, even if these two companies were armed with rifles, more than fifty Japanese soldiers would be beaten into pieces under random gunfire.
Annihilate the Japanese squad, quickly clean the battlefield, wipe out all weapons and ammunition, machine guns, grenade launchers, artillery shells, etc., and then quickly evacuate. The little devil promises to have all the questions in his head, do you believe it?"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Tang Enbo burst into laughter. It was as if he had already won a battle and picked up equipment.
Tang Enbo scratched his bald head and looked at the Dragon Boat Festival with an expression of admiration in his eyes.
But then, he asked: "Then what?"
Duanwu said: "Then it will be much easier. When you retreat, pick up the scattered bullet casings and leave some clues for the Japanese to escape and leave quickly.
And if the little devil suffers a loss, he will definitely pursue him directly after roaring loudly.
The little devils would not have imagined how powerful the Chinese army would be, being able to annihilate a small group of their soldiers in such a short period of time.
They would think that the vanguard team was too careless and fell into the enemy's ambush. And the enemy's quick escape after the ambush just confirmed this.
So they will pursue us at all costs and then enter our next trap.
We will leave one of the companies in lurking position, while the troops of the other company will pretend to be deserted and flee. This will not only allow the Japanese to see your embarrassment, but also prevent them from pursuing you too close.
When little devils can't see anyone, they will fall into a brief thought. And this thought will make them guess whether this is a trap.
So we cannot give them this time, but let them see that their enemies are right in front of them, and they can catch up with these enemies as long as they work hard.
At this time, the decoy troops could even discard some of the trophies they had captured previously. This made the little devils even more convinced that this was just a Chinese army that appeared out of nowhere and escaped after a sneak attack on them.
So the little Japs will pursue them hard, and due to the different physical qualities of the Japs and the different weapons and equipment they carry, the team will gradually become longer, which is very convenient for our ambush.
Our ambush force has two regiments. If so many people gather together, an ambush site cannot be spread out at all.
But it's different if the little devils spread out. After the ambush starts, the ambush troops on the left and right will beat them like rabbits.
But at this time, don't rush to take action. Instead, continue to lead the Japs deeper, and fire back with two shots from time to time to induce the Japs to extend the front line further.
In other words, sometimes, when we ambush the enemy, it is not that the more the enemy gathers, the better, but the more dispersed the better.
Do you still remember that one company just lured the enemy? There is another company, and this company has been lurking in place.
One company lured the enemy away, while the other company followed the heavy weapons of the Jaap vanguard troops. The Japanese troops in front completely entered the encirclement of our two infantry regiments, and after the battle started, they quickly attacked and destroyed them.
The little devil's heavy weapons troops.
The heavy weapons of the Japs, including heavy machine gun troops, artillery troops, etc., these people cannot run fast. Moreover, in order to catch up with the troops in front, they will consume a lot of physical strength.
At this time, if we use a company to carry out a sneak attack, we will definitely be able to catch it. We will capture the Japanese heavy weapons troops, quickly set up heavy machine guns and mortars to bombard the enemies ambushed by our troops, and while annihilating the enemies to the maximum extent,
Block the enemy's retreat and complete this quick, scalpel-style encirclement and annihilation battle against the Japanese vanguard!"
