Seeing the frowning frowns of his subordinates, Qi Zhiyuan certainly understood what they were thinking. Qi Zhiyuan was very clear about the reason why the regiment leader gave this task to his company. But Qi Zhiyuan knew this reason but
But he couldn't explain it clearly to his subordinates.
At this time, cadres below the battalion level should not know where the regiment's direct reconnaissance company is sent to perform tasks. If the army cannot even keep a single tactical reconnaissance secret, then what secrets can be kept? You can know it,
It was the group leader who specifically explained it to himself alone when assigning tasks.
The commander of the regiment chose his company to carry out this mission. It was also a forced choice. He had served as a platoon leader in the reconnaissance company, and had also participated in the selection of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region. Although he was ultimately unsuccessful for some reasons, he was the leader of the entire regiment.
Among all company-level cadres, apart from the current reconnaissance company commander, he is the one with the most experience in reconnaissance.
In addition, my own company has always been the sharp knife company of the entire regiment. Its combat effectiveness is also considered to be the best among the twenty-seventh regiment. When the direct reconnaissance company cannot withdraw, I mobilize my own company to carry out the task.
This task should have been completed by the reconnaissance company, and it was also a forced decision made by the regiment.
There was no way, the Japanese army's two well-hidden artillery positions posed too great a threat to the attack of the 27th Regiment. During the day's battle, nearly half of the casualties were caused by these two well-hidden artillery positions.
If the position is not destroyed, it will cause great trouble and casualties to the troops even in a night battle.
Before the entire regiment launched an attack, it was an inevitable choice for Wang Yuyang to destroy these two artillery positions that the aviation and artillery had failed to destroy despite the great efforts of the aviation and artillery during the daytime battle. Even if the entire regiment was destroyed
Even if the best company goes in, we won't hesitate.
Looking at the silent squad platoon leaders in front of him, Qi Zhiyuan frowned and said: "I know you must be complaining in your hearts now about why our superiors gave us such a task. But we are soldiers and warriors.
The orders from our superiors must be executed if we understand them, and we must execute them even if we don’t understand them. What we should do now is not how to understand the decisions of our superiors, but how to complete the tasks assigned by our superiors.”
After Qi Zhiyuan finished speaking, the instructor on the side shook his head and said: "Old Qi, that's what I said, but the current situation is quite unfavorable for us. The enemy's minefield is not a difficult problem. Our squad schedule
All the commanders have been trained in mine clearance. Even some veterans can clear mines. Opening a passage in the minefield, a distance of fifty meters, and ten minutes is enough."
"But the enemy's minefield is close to their position. The enemy's vigilance is so high now. At the slightest sign of trouble, fire coverage will be carried out. The illumination bombs are fired into the sky one after another. Since it gets dark,
It hasn’t stopped until now.”
"Under this situation, it is really difficult to open a passage in the minefield without alerting the Japanese. Do you think you can apply for artillery support from the regiment and use artillery fire to attack the enemy in the minefield?"
Shall we open a channel? It may be difficult for us to complete the task by ourselves."
Qi Zhiyuan was also a little hesitant about the instructor's words. His subordinates were not professionally trained scouts. It was almost impossible to open a passage in a minefield close to the Japanese positions where poison gas was spread without alerting the nearby Japanese troops.
Nothing is possible.
While using artillery fire to clear minefields, it can also dispel poisonous gases that last for several days. Although it can alarm the Japanese army, it is still much better than the dilemma in front of them. And with the combat effectiveness of my company and the two rifles in my hand, it can
If you can suppress the firepower of a Type 92 heavy machine gun, there is nothing terrible about attacking you head-on.
But when Qi Zhiyuan picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to report to his superiors, he hesitated. When he went to the regiment headquarters to receive the combat mission, the regiment commander made it very clear. The artillery firepower assigned to the division should mainly be concentrated.
On the front and attached to a battalion to block the Japanese 70th Regiment. And from their mission, artillery cover is very inappropriate.
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Zhiyuan put down the intercom in his hand. He turned around and said: "I also want to provide artillery cover, but from the current situation, it is not suitable for us to be assigned fire cover in the regiment. We are all veterans, and I hope that we will still
We need to brainstorm and come up with a solution."
After Qi Zhiyuan finished speaking, the deputy company commander on the side smiled bitterly and said: "Company commander, without the cover of artillery fire, we can use explosive ropes and blasting tubes instead to open up minefields. But there is almost no difference between doing this and clearing mines with artillery fire. Think about it.
It would be difficult not to alert the Japanese."
After the deputy company commander finished speaking, the health worker over there suddenly said: "Company commander, I have thought of a way for the demining comrades to effectively avoid the threat of poisonous gas spread by the Japanese army in the minefields. But how can we avoid it?"
If I attract the attention of the Japanese army, there is nothing I can do.
At this point, the health worker saw all the people and turned to look at him after hearing his words. He quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't look at me, I am just a health worker. When it comes to battlefield rescue, that is my specialty.
. But I don’t have the ability to command operations. Those are your strengths."
"However, company commander, instructor, and all comrades, why can't we change our minds? I remember there was a saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is called sounding east and attacking west. The front line in front of us is nearly one thousand meters, why do we have to focus all our attention?
Concentrate in one place and make up your mind in one place?"
"I think we can definitely make some noise on one side to attract the attention of the Japanese, and then do something on the other side. Don't forget, we are a complete infantry company. Within a distance of less than a thousand meters, it is completely possible.
Act separately to distract the Japanese army."
The health worker's words made Qi Zhiyuan's eyes light up: "Yes, why do you have to concentrate the entire company in one place? You can use part of your troops to make some noise on one side to cover the real situation.
For demining operations in this direction, if there is no artillery cover, explosives can be used. Anyway, the hundreds of kilograms of explosives allocated to the regiment would be a waste if they are not used. Special people have to be assigned to carry them."
Thinking of this, Qi Zhiyuan quickly drew the situation of the breakthrough line assigned to him on the ground and said: "I decided to divide the army into three parts. The deputy company commander took two squads, as well as half of the explosives and explosives we had on hand.
All the blasting tubes were deployed five hundred meters to the north to feint. Use explosives to open a road in the minefield."
"Remember, don't worry about the explosives. The wider the open channel is to the north, the better. It's best to put the whole group in a position to attack in your direction. Attract as much attention as possible to the devils on our side. Let's
The enemy in front of us has a reinforced squadron, which means it will be overwhelmed. As long as we can attract half of its troops, it will be much easier for us."
"The instructor commanded the two reinforced 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns in the battalion, as well as all the rocket launchers and company machine guns, and the company's 60 artillery served as fire support. The main attention of the fire support should be concentrated on the deputy company commander.
Side. The bigger the noise you make over there, the more beneficial it will be for our actions here. Even if we are shaking things up here, don't divert the firepower."
"And I led two platoons of troops and deployed on the spot. After the Japanese army's attention was attracted by the deputy company commander, I immediately started clearing the minefield. The Japanese army's minefield was fifty meters wide, and for us
It is said that opening a channel up to three meters wide is enough."
"Our squad and platoon leaders have all received demining training. If they are used intensively, I think twenty minutes is enough. And when we clear minefields, we only need to focus on the mines. Those poisonous gases planted by the Japanese army
Damn, you can completely ignore it."
"However, in view of the current situation, neither I nor the deputy company commander is the real main attacker and no one is the real feint. No matter which side opens the gap, they must desperately follow the instructions given to us by the artillery comrades.
Hit the designated coordinates and rush over. Do whatever it takes to complete the mission assigned by your superiors. In a word, even if our company is exhausted, we still have to find the artillery positions of those two Japanese and destroy them."
"In order to avoid the unexpected situation during the operation when the troops are left without command and fall into chaos. I, the instructor, and the deputy company commander all need to designate their own replacements before the operation begins so that they can take over the command of the troops after they die.
follow-up actions.”
Having said this, Qi Zhiyuan looked at the platoon leaders around him with a strange look, then pointed his finger at the health worker beside him and said: "Once I die, Xiao Liu will take over the command of the two platoons I led."
.Although Xiao Liu has not received systematic command training, he has learned a lot of company-level command and combat experience from working with me these days."
"This guy has a lot of ideas and is very adaptable. The most important thing is that he is in the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region and has received three months of strict reconnaissance professional training. Once I die, he will be responsible for commanding the follow-up operations. I believe it is better
The right person."
The replacement chosen by Qi Zhiyuan not only shocked several squad leaders, but also the instructors and deputy company commanders on the side. And the person he appointed was even more stunned.
He looked serious. What the health worker never expected was that the company commander's designated replacement was actually him?
The successor chosen by Qi Zhiyuan stood there for a long time after Qi Zhiyuan finished speaking and then said: "Company Commander, I am just a health worker, and I only joined the army at the beginning of last year. I have been with you for this period of time.
I just learned a little bit about it. Let me command the troops, don't be kidding me. How do I have that ability? If I had these two things, I wouldn't have been assigned to the health training team."
"I am just a simple health worker, at best a talkative and nosy health worker. I can do battlefield first aid, but if there is a war, I have to do the Lost Street Pavilion. Company Commander, you are not Zhuge Liang, so do I.
It’s not Ma Su. I still know very well what my abilities are. Without that diamond, I wouldn’t be able to get that porcelain job.”
