"He's not a young man, is he as big as me? Hahaha!"
Duan Wu sneered, and everyone present was speechless, because indeed, let alone Director Sun, none of the people present were as powerful as Duan Wu.
Duanwu laughed and continued: "Let's talk about business."
At this time, everyone got back to business again, and Commander Yu also carried out the sand table he had just made.
The entire Bengbu area has a sweeping view, including part of the Yandang Mountain landscape.
However, it is only a smaller part, mainly including Bengbu, Fengyang, Dingyuan and Mingguang, which are important military areas.
The three defensive positions are in the shape of a "pin", echoing each other from a distance, which is a relatively common defensive formation.
Commander Yu knew that Duanwu was a very impressive commander. Of course, he had not seen it with his own eyes. He only heard that Duanwu would win every ten feet, and the Japanese he killed would cry for their fathers and mothers, throwing away their helmets and armor.
So at this time, he was both asking for advice and testing.
Zhou Weiguo and Qiu Ming on the side also saw it, but they didn't say anything because they also wanted to see what they would do in the Dragon Boat Festival.
At the same time, Duanwu put his hands behind his back and looked at the mountain and then the city.
After a moment, he said: "Except for the defenders of Fengyang, the two brigades that have been mobilized the most should be those from Mingguang and Dingyuan, right?"
Commander Yu replied: "Yes, that's right."
Duanwu said: "Then there are too many troops deployed here."
After that, Duanwu pointed at the line between Dingyuan and Mingguang with his finger.
Commander Yu said in confusion: "The troops here are already very weak. It can be said that I don't think it is enough. How can there be more?"
Duanwu said: "The most taboo thing about fighting the Japanese is the strict positional warfare. Why did we resist layer by layer from Shanghai to Nanjing, but the result was that we suffered more casualties and the Japanese suffered fewer casualties? It is these positional warfare that are used in large numbers of people.
Use up our troops.
Take the Battle of Songhu as an example. We invested 700,000 people, but where were the Japanese? There were only 200,000 people.
But these 200,000 people caused the death of 300,000 of our troops in the Songhu area. This battle was so miserable that we lost almost half of our troops.
But why exactly?”
Duanwu asked back, and Commander Yu thought for a while and said: "That's because the Songhu area is flat, and the Japanese not only have air support, but also have heavy artillery on the sea to bombard our positions indiscriminately.
Therefore, we can say that the Battle of Songhu ended in a disastrous defeat!"
Speaking of this, Commander Yu sighed, because anyone would regret the battle in Songhu.
If the Chinese army had not been severely injured in the Battle of Songhu, how could the little Japanese have reached Nanjing?
Therefore, in the eyes of every Chinese officer, this battle was heartbreakingly painful.
Duanwu nodded and said: "Old Yu is right. We lost in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing because the Japanese had aircraft, artillery and chariots, but what about us? Some troops even had decent air defenses.
There are no weapons or anti-tank weapons, so fighting positional warfare means losing lives.
When the veterans are gone, new recruits are added, but the new recruits are not as good as the veterans, so in the end the battle will be repeated defeats.
Of course, this is a bit far-fetched, but what I want to say is that today's defense of Bengbu is almost the same as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing.
Although there was no naval bombardment, the Japanese artillery and air superiority still existed.
And in this case, no matter how many troops we put into the front line, we will feel that it is not enough. Because how many people will die in a bombing by the Japanese? How many people will die in a shelling by the Japanese?
Coupled with the superb shooting skills and tacit cooperation of the Japanese infantry, if your Northeast Army can win, Northeast China will not be lost."
Commander Yu looked embarrassed when he heard this, but immediately sighed, because it was indeed true. If they really defeated the Japanese, then the three northeastern provinces would not be lost.
Commander Yu humbly asked for advice: "Brother Duanwu, how should we fight this battle?"
Duanwu said: "We still have to fight positional warfare, but how to fight positional warfare is a science. You can ask Lao Qiu for advice on this and see how the Eighth Route Army fought."
Duanwu gave this opportunity to Qiu Ming, because the Northeast Army and the Eighth Route Army would have to cooperate next. If the Northeast Army looked down on the Eighth Route Army, then this cooperation would probably be separate.
He couldn't let this happen, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to bring Qiu Ming.
Of course, Qiu Ming was only part of the Dragon Boat Festival plan. What Dragon Boat Festival wanted was for the 115th Division to also come out to cooperate with the Northeast Army,... no, it was to cooperate with the entire fifth theater to fight the Japanese.
In other words, the purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival is to kill the Japanese and to gather all the strength.
Therefore, this good opportunity to bring the Northeast Army and the Eighth Route Army closer was naturally left to Qiu Ming.
And Qiu Ming didn't hide it or hide it, and told the Eighth Route Army's tactics to fight the Japanese.
Qiu Ming said: "The Japs' firepower is superior to ours, and we will definitely suffer in a head-on confrontation. So in actual combat, we worked out a strategy for engaging the Japs head-on when we did not have heavy firepower and lacked shooting skills."
The Japanese artillery fire was fierce, so we dug trenches and reduced the number of people on the position, so that most of the Japanese artillery fire was empty.
When the Japanese charged, we were not in a hurry to shoot, but moved the Japanese closer before shooting.
We have also made calculations on this point. Due to the long-term lack of ammunition in our army, it is simply impossible to train like the Japanese. In addition, the weapons used are all old-fashioned barrels with smooth rifling. How can this be compared with
Are the devils going to fight?
What's more, many of our Eighth Route Army soldiers don't have guns at all, so it's simply impossible to fight a regular positional battle with the Japanese.
So we only have one feasible way, which is to put the Japanese within fifty meters before shooting them. At this distance, not to mention veterans, as long as recruits can shoot, their hit rate will be very high."
"Fifty meters away, how many seconds does it take for this devil to rush up?"
Commander Yu was a little surprised, because at a distance of fifty meters, the Japanese charged into the position.
Qiu Ming smiled and said: "When the Japanese come up, we will fight hand-to-hand with them. This is why we always keep a reserve team. Every time we fight, we will not put many people on our positions, and the large troops will hide."
In the back, once the Japs launch a charge, our reserve team will quickly enter the position and wait for a hand-to-hand fight with the Japs.
Of course, the little Japs are still very good at fighting with bayonets, so two of us will fight one Japanese, or even three or four of us will fight one Japanese."
"I see!"
Commander Yu suddenly understood and nodded frequently, obviously he had approved this tactic.
At this time, Duanwu added: "This alone is not enough, we need intelligence, intelligence about our enemies. Take today as an example, the reinforcements of the 150th Regiment are close at hand, and we don't even know it.
Before this, we had obtained intelligence on Japanese military movements by intercepting Japanese military messages.
However, after today's battle, I discovered that it may not be possible to judge the Japanese military's movements by intercepting Japanese military messages in the future. The Japanese soldiers have already changed the secret code.
So today is very thrilling. If we had moved a little slower, I am afraid it would not have been that we surrounded and annihilated the Japanese 150th Regiment, but that we would have been surrounded by the Japanese in the Yandang Mountain area."
At this time, Zhou Weiguo also said: "Yes, we don't know anything about our enemies. This is not good. We must investigate the identities of the Japanese coming from the southeast and southwest and how many people they have in total. Then we can
