Xie Jinyuan and Zhao Beishan were confused when the Dragon Boat Festival was mentioned. They both went to the military academy, but they had torn through all the textbooks and could not find the prophet of the Dragon Boat Festival.
But what Dragon Boat Festival said was not a matter of predicting the future at all, but a lesson for Xie Jinyuan and others.
Duanwu said: "The so-called most basic tactics are: observe the terrain, landforms, predict the climate, and look for our own loopholes.
Take Sihang Warehouse as an example. Its geographical location is very advantageous. There is only a bombed ruin in front of it. Almost all the high-rise buildings on the other side of the street collapsed due to the bombing by the Japanese.
The only weakness is the two buildings on the left and right sides of Sihang Warehouse.
The buildings on this side were preserved because the Concession was relatively close and the little devils did not dare to easily offend the established colonists from many countries.
So, the first thing I did when I came here was to blow up these two buildings.
But there will be a problem here. If you simply blow up two buildings, it is just a bad idea because they will not play any role in the war.
And what is the purpose of war? The purpose of war is to destroy the enemy's effective strength.
When we blew up the building, we could only eliminate a potential safety hazard. But it did not cause any damage to the enemy.
And if we blow up the building directly, the enemy will immediately realize that this plan will not work. They will not waste any manpower or material resources on it.
And this is another basic tactic in war: attrition.
Consume the enemy's soldiers, consume the enemy's materials, and supplies. Gradually your enemies will be exhausted in the war.
When it comes to consumption, we have to talk about the trenches in front of Sihang Warehouse.
This trench also has the function of consuming enemy troops.
First, I used trenches to divide the fifty-meter distance in front of the four-row warehouse into multiple warheads.
Although these warheads have the capability of defensive operations, I hardly use them because I don't have as many troops to consume as the little devils.
We initially only had about 130 combatants entering the Sihang Warehouse. It would be a joke to engage in positional warfare with the Japs with this small force.
Therefore, the first point I just mentioned is attrition. Not only did I create obstacles for the Japs' charge, but I also laid mines above the trenches.
Use trenches to divide the ground into multiple areas. When the Japs charge, they will have fewer opportunities to choose.
And if we don’t use the few landmines we have for the little devils, how can we do it?
Of course, digging such deep trenches just for the purpose of laying mines is a waste of manpower.
I won't engage in this loss-making business, but since it can't be used for defense, then why should we use trenches?
attack!
When we were preparing to attack, the little Japanese couldn't even see our face in the first fifty meters.
The soldiers charged along the trench and threw grenades at a position of fifty meters.
Think about this position. A good grenadier can throw a grenade fifty meters away without any problem.
This fifty meters plus fifty meters is a distance of one hundred meters. So how far are we from the Japs' forward position?"
Duanwu asked back, and Xie Jinyuan, Zhao Beishan and others were all ashamed. They were all from professional backgrounds, but they didn't even understand such a simple tactic. They still thought that Duanwu had the ability to predict the future, which was simply ridiculous.
Zhao Beishan still asked unwillingly: "Brother Duanwu, where is this flagpole?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "This is easy to explain. When I took over Sihang Warehouse, I was thinking that we needed a battle flag.
So what is needed to have a battle flag? What is needed is a flagpole.
So I asked Sun Shiyu to lead people and set up this flagpole on the roof of the building."
"oh!"
Everyone suddenly realized. But at this time, Xie Jinyuan still said in disbelief: "Brother Duanwu, you can explain the matter of setting up the flagpole. But why does it have to be so strong?"
Zhao Beishan also echoed: "Yes, yes, Brother Xie is right. Flagpoles are mostly made of wood. Why do you use a steel pipe to make the flagpole? And you also welded an iron frame?"
"Jerking off!"
Dragon Boat Festival didn't even think about it before he answered.
"Jerking off?"
Xie Jinyuan was stunned.
But at this moment, Lao Tie came out of the crowd and said, "Yes, it's just masturbation."
Lao Tie took a righteous step, swinging his military coat like a windbreaker, and then stepped onto the only anti-aircraft gun on the roof of the four-row warehouse.
He operates calmly and does not look like a deserter who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Lao Tie transformed unknowingly. Under the man's roar, and after his comrades and brothers fell in front of him one by one, he finally came back.
In Return of the King, Lao Tie sits on the anti-aircraft gun, and Yang Guai assists as his deputy.
The anti-aircraft gun was rotated, and shells like meteors flew into the air.
One of the Japanese pilots was so frightened when he saw the sudden trajectory of the ballistic missile ahead that he evaded it.
However, although the fuselage escaped the anti-aircraft gun attack, the left wing was directly hit by the anti-aircraft gun and torn off.
The little devil's plane lost its balance, rolled continuously in mid-air, and crashed directly into the ruins on the north bank.
"Baize-kun? Baize-kun?"
The Japs pilot shouted the name of the other Japs. But the other Japs pilot was blown to pieces with a huge roar.
The Japanese pilot didn't even have time to parachute.
The plane went into a death roll, and he was about to vomit as he spun around in the cabin. Moreover, he was flying at a very low altitude, so even if he did parachute, there would only be one result, either he would be thrown to death, or he would be thrown half to death.
"Bagaya road!"
The Japanese pilot of the other plane was so angry that he gave up the mission goal and went straight to Lao Tie.
But Lao Tie was not afraid at all. Under Dragon Boat Festival's attack, Lao Tie was as tough as his name.
Lao Tie opened up his firepower, and the shells from the anti-aircraft guns were like a fire dragon heading towards the Japanese fighter plane.
The Japanese fighter plane avoided, but because he made a maneuver during the shooting process, the bullets from the plane hit the south bank.
A British soldier was on duty when his hat was knocked off.
The British soldier howled like a slaughtering pig: "Run quickly, the Japanese are coming."
The howling of the British soldiers caused panic among the military and police. They had been stopping the citizens on the south bank before, but at this time, they were so frightened that they all ran away.
They just want to earn a living from the British, so how can they really work for the British?
The people took the opportunity to occupy the south bank of the Suzhou River. They raised their heads and watched the thrilling battle.
There were constant fire snakes on the ground and in the air. Although it was already past six o'clock in the morning, the fire of anti-aircraft guns and the fire of Japanese machine guns were still like bright lines of fire, constantly intertwined in the mid-air!...
