Chapter 452: There is no turning back when you open the bow
After explaining to the communications staff, Yang Jicai turned around and handed a map with the artillery coordinates from the stone table to the front of him marked to the artillery staff sent by Qiu Jintang to assist him and said: "The firing ranges of various artillery here have been marked.
Come out. You follow the coordinates and various artillery blockade targets marked above and distribute them to various artillery units."
"But again, no one is allowed to fire without my order. Even if Political Commissar Yi and Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu personally give the order, it will never be allowed. Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu, I will naturally go to apologize after the battle is over.
I'll take care of everything for you. You can just keep your heart in your stomach and just follow my orders."
Taking the map handed over by Yang Jicai, the artillery staff member looked at it carefully and couldn't help but give a thumbs up secretly. The coordinates marked were almost more accurate than the professional artillery staff member himself. Moreover, according to the different ranges of various artillery,
The shooting range is also clearly divided.
The man in front of me is a combat staff officer, not a professional artillery staff officer. He can do artillery map work so accurately, but I would not have the ability. Although according to the Anti-Japanese Alliance staff regulations, combat staff officers must understand and master artillery.
Business. But to be precise about this, I am afraid that all the combat staff members of the entire army will be recruited, and there will be only a few people.
After secretly praising him, the artillery staff officer also smiled bitterly at Yang Jicai's comfort and said: "Old classmate, I have offended our Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu very much this time. If your explanation does not pass after the war, Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu will probably
Why don't you send me to the cooking class to take the blame?"
"In our artillery, this is the most severe punishment for those who violate discipline. The mistake I made today is not standard enough to be shot and sentenced, but dismissal and demobilization are at least definitely qualified. You kid today
Son, you have caused me great harm."
The combat staff officer sent by Qiu Jintang was a classmate with Yang Jicai when they were in high school in Kaiyuan, Manchuria. After joining the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they joined the staff cadet team of the military region training team at that time. In fact, the batch of puppet soldiers who joined the army with Yang Jicai
Most of the high school students in the Manchu Army were assigned to study in various teaching teams after strict review.
Among the newly captured Puppet Manchukuo recruits, the national high school graduates were relatively highly educated among the Anti-Japanese Alliance at that time. Facing the development and growth of the army, there was an urgent need for talents with relatively high educational levels, especially qualified combat personnel.
staff and technical personnel. After repeated consideration, Yang Zhen decided to send those who passed the extremely strict political review to the teaching team for further training.
At that time, there were no current military schools, and all military education was conducted in various teaching teams. After graduating from the teaching teams, a considerable number of these national high school students were assigned to serve as staff officers in various units.
Go to the artillery, which is in urgent need of talents, as well as tanks and armored vehicles from the Soviet Union, aviation and other majors for the next step of study.
There are not many people who are actually assigned to lead the front-line troops. After graduation, his classmate was assigned to the artillery unit, which was most urgently needed at the time. Unlike Yang Jicai, who was first assigned to the combat unit to lead troops and was later transferred back.
The headquarters serves as combat staff. However, because the Anti-Japanese Federation attaches great importance to staff work, when evaluating military ranks, these people are basically one level higher.
And at work, as long as you have the ability, promotion is not slow. Except for Yang Jicai, who was promoted to the main regiment because Wang Guangyu looked at him differently, most of them are now deputy battalion level, or even the main battalion level.
There are not many first-level officers. Although his current position is deputy battalion, he should be awarded the rank of lieutenant.
But it was because the Anti-Japanese League attached great importance to staff work, so he wore the rank of captain, which was awarded only when he was in the battalion. This standard is generally set very low when the military ranks are awarded, and only those at the regimental level are awarded lieutenant colonel.
.As the deputy division commanders and even quite a few division commanders are at the colonel level, it can be said to be very unusual.
It was precisely because of being an old classmate and fellow countryman for many years that Yang Jicai was able to persuade him to act according to his own will. Otherwise, as a major and chief of staff, he would not be able to convey the orders even if he had the intention. Those artillerymen would really hate him.
?They are cooperating with him in fighting, but they are not assigned to him.
It was precisely after persuading this classmate and fellow countryman that his orders were truly implemented. However, even though he cooperated with Yang Jicai, this staff officer also knew that Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu would have to deal with himself properly when he returned. Because if this were to happen in another way
To put it another way, it is nothing more than disobedience on the battlefield, or even mutiny.
Looking at his classmate with a wry smile, Yang Jicai touched his nose and didn't know how to comfort him. Because he didn't know yet whether he would be held accountable after this battle. He knew that even if Commander Wang Guangyu and Yi
Political Commissar Jianping did not hold himself accountable, but his eldest brother would never forgive him.
Although Yang Jicai talks about being gentle now, he actually doesn't have much confidence in his heart. If even he is punished by then, how can he talk about taking responsibility for others? But now that he has done this, he
There is no way out, we can only "press forward".
After thinking for a while, Yang Jicai said: "We have no intention of turning around now. No matter how our superiors deal with us, that will happen after the war. As for now, brother, you should send out the coordinates first and tell them to wait for us.
Signal. Three flares, two red and one green."
"As soon as the signal flares on my side are launched into the sky, they will fire artillery to cover the fire. Send me all the shells on hand. Try to work hard to completely defeat the Japanese army in front of us before the Japanese army can react.
.Lay a solid foundation for superiors to completely annihilate the 7th Division."
Yang Jicai shook his head with some regret and said: "Actually, if Political Commissar Yi promised me to dispatch the aviation force to cooperate with us in fighting, why should I adopt this passive tactic of luring the emperor into a trap? If we could fight again today with the cooperation of the aviation force,
One day, wait until tomorrow to completely solve the problem, the result will be better."
"It's a pity that the entire battle plan this time was formulated by the headquarters. According to the rules of our Anti-Japanese Alliance, Political Commissar Yi does not have the final decision-making power on military issues. Even if he wants to agree to us, he does not have that right. Wait until he and Commander Wang
After the communication is completed, I will ask the headquarters for instructions. I am afraid that the day lily will be cold long ago."
"Forget it, let's rely on our existing strength. Political Commissar Yi has already given us too much help. Without Political Commissar Yi to speak, do you think your Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu is so easy to talk to? It will take a lot of effort to convince him.
There are some things that we have to rely on ourselves. If the mountain doesn’t come, it’s me, so I have to go and leave it.”
Having said that, Yang Jicai shook his head. Although he was very dissatisfied with the political commissar's decision, he also knew that this kind of matter could not be decided by political commissar Yi alone. Adjusting the entire Aru Horqin Banner aviation combat plan requires approval from the headquarters.
. Moreover, the political commissar is now in his own place, so even if he wants to kill him first, he has no choice, let alone the right.
Thinking of this, Yang Jicai shook his head, grabbed the telescope and looked outside, calculating the scale of the enemy's mobilization in front of him. Although he also knew that his front was straight to the stone table, the front was a bit too narrow. If Kunizaki ascended the center
There will never be a moment of all-or-nothing action, and you will never give it your all.
Although the front of the stone table is a bit narrow, for the Seventh Division, it is the starting point for leveraging the entire front line from Bala Qirude to Aohan Yingzi, and it is also the only breakthrough so far. Although the Japanese army has occupied
Zhangjiayingzi, but the terrain there is destined to be unable to bear this responsibility.
Compared to the direction of Zhangjiayingzi, what is more important in the direction of Shizuishi is that it is very close to Sumoyintala. And it can outflank the entire defense line from the flanks, one of the most important supporting points, Bala Qirud. As long as it is captured
Sumoyintara, his entire defense line was deeply wedged.
And if Bala Chirud is outflanked, the resistance forces there will be surrounded by the Japanese army. Once the resistance forces there are surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army, the entire flank of the resistance forces on the Linxi battlefield will completely collapse.
At that time, the Seventh Division will be able to fight however they want.
Therefore, in Yang Jicai's view, even if Kunizaki Noboru knew that the attack front was a bit narrow with Shizuo Zhui as the focus. However, the direction of Shizui Zhui is connected with Zhangjiayingzi. If the focus of troop deployment is in this direction, then
For the Seventh Division, even though the casualties are higher, it is currently the most appropriate choice.
Maybe Kunizaki Noboru is not crazy yet, but the current situation is forcing him to go crazy. Unless he really feints a shot, takes advantage and retreats. Last night's offensive, and this morning's attack in the direction of Stone Table
The attack was all to cover up his true intention. If Kunisaki Noboru invested so much effort just to cover his retreat, then Yang Jicai would really be speechless.
However, the 28th Regiment has been hit hard at the moment, and the remaining two regiments have also suffered heavy losses in the bombing and artillery attacks during the day and night yesterday. How will Noboru Kunizaki succeed in Zhangjiayingzi and Shizuishi?
Yang Jicai is waiting to see how many troops will be invested at the breakthrough point.
While observing the battle that was happening right in front of him, Yang Jicai was calculating how many Japanese troops were rushing over before he could calculate this blow. At the same time, he was considering that the multi-company troops in front of him lacked heavy machine guns.
How long can it last?
As he said, the tactic he formulated was to attract the 7th Division to invest more troops into his fire trap. But if he was captured or died in battle because of his plan,
Here, doesn’t it really follow the old saying and it’s self-defeating?
However, in front of him, the defense troops were still fighting hard. Although they were still persisting desperately, Yang Jicai's eyes were extremely vicious. He could see at a glance that it would be difficult for his troops to be unable to hold on in the face of more and more Japanese troops.
Half an hour. In other words, if you don't make up your mind, your headquarters will be taken away in half an hour. It will even involve Yi Jianping and Qiu Jintang in the reserve headquarters 700 meters behind.
However, even though he had estimated that his troops could hold on for at most half an hour, Yang Jicai still did not issue any order to fire. He was still waiting for Gou Zai, who was on the front line of Bala Qirud, to report on the latest enemy situation. For him, since he was here
In such a short period of time, after all the efforts were made to set up such a large net, how could the enemy army be satisfied with the small amount in front of them.
Yang Jicai, who was a combat staff officer, also knew how much effort and expense it would take to transport artillery shells from the rear to Linxi. Moreover, before being transferred to Aruhorqin Banner, he also had a certain understanding of the current artillery shell reserves on the entire Linxi battlefield.
Understand. Under the situation where it is relatively difficult to replenish artillery shells, how to ensure a successful hit and achieve the greatest results is what he should consider most at the moment.
