Chen Hanzhang's tone was full of resentment: "These 92 infantry cannons, 37 rapid-fire cannons and 97-type 20mm automatic cannons are naturally difficult to attack the Japanese army's permanent fortifications. But with direct aim,
, there is no problem at all in attacking the Japanese flank cover positions and foxholes, right? A small artillery piece is no longer a cannon?"
"Even for those permanent fortifications, if you take advantage of their lightness and good ballistics, you can adopt bayonet tactics on the cannon, use the high-speed cover of machine guns and automatic rifles to advance to a distance of more than 100 meters from the Japanese permanent fortifications, and shoot straight through their shooting holes.
, I think the probability of killing as long as one hit is better than that of a machine gun."
"Are we now so wealthy that we look down upon the captured equipment so much? Do we look down upon the equipment that has been seized, which is of great use to us? When did we, the Anti-Japanese League, become such big landlords?
Already rich? In the words of No. 1, this is simply the behavior of a nouveau riche."
"Have they all forgotten how we fought in the past? Not to mention a cannon, even if a Liao 13-type rifle was captured, they would jump for joy. If the weapons of that division could be unified in caliber, they would all be 38-type rifles.
, this division commander is so happy. Old Liu, you are from the Seventh Army. Your Seventh Army's activity area is close to the Heilongjiang River, and the conditions are better."
"I remember when I took over the Fifth Division of the Second Army, there were more than 400 people in the division, which was the division with the largest number of troops in the First Army. But what kind of weapons were they? The old Fengjun left behind the Soviet Union during the October Revolution and handed over them to Belarus.
The Shui Lianzhu rifle, the Italian-made rifle that has no place to find the bullets imported by the Fengjun army.”
"If a squad can be equipped with Japanese Golden Hook rifles, Northeastern Army's Czech-made rifles, and Liao-13 rifles, it will be a fist force. There are only two machine guns in the entire division, and one of them is an Italian machine gun without bullets. Even though
Among the rifles, there are also many without bullets."
"Although the weapons and equipment were greatly improved after the seizure, the entire division is still very short of ammunition and has poor equipment, not to mention cannons and even a few light machine guns. Now we have everything, including artillery on the ground.
, tanks, planes in the sky, everything you should have, and things you couldn’t even imagine before, now you feel like you are a landlord and rich? Do you just take the captured equipment and don’t take it seriously? "
"Our cadres, especially the military cadres, all came here in the most difficult times. Whether it is the 18th Army Group in Guan Nei or our old cadres, they all came from the shortage of guns and ammunition. How could it happen so quickly?
Forget about the mission and look down upon the captured weapons? This is absolutely not the way to go.”
For a long time, he led the Fifth Division of the Second Army to cover the flanks of the entire First Army and cooperated with the Second Route Army in operations. The First Army was far away, and the Second Route Army was not their own organization. In fact, it had always lived a life of independent guerrilla warfare without being separated from the main force. Chen Hanzhang developed
The habit of thinking independently has also developed the habit of never complaining.
Because for him, there is no place to complain. The First Army to which he belongs is fighting in southern Manchuria. It is affiliated with the Second Route Army, which seems to be more closely connected, and lacks effective communication tools. Long-term independent operations and surrounding areas
The environment determines his position and determines that he can only bear all problems independently.
And he was shouldered by the military and political affairs, and many times he didn't even have anyone to consult with. Under this situation, he developed a flexible and changeable command habit. Especially his ability to respond to changes in the enemy's situation, even in the current situation.
It is also unique among the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Chen Hanzhang is very particular about changes in the enemy's situation on the battlefield, his ability to adapt to the development of the situation, and his flexibility in the use of tactics. He has always been very demanding. The extremely exciting tank attack in North Korea last year was precisely against the enemy.
It was based on accurate analysis and judgment of the battlefield situation. It was for this reason that Yang Zhen named him and transferred him to the Armored Corps Headquarters as the first commander.
In fact, regarding the use of Chen Hanzhang, Yang Zhen, like Wang Guangyu, was prepared to be trained as a first-level composite commander of the group army, and was not prepared to have him only serve as the chief officer of one arm for a long time. Let him serve as the commander of the armored forces in the initial period.
, in addition to giving full play to his strengths, it is also necessary to let him think more about and get in touch with the combat theory of armored forces.
And for Yang Zhen, the current armored force, artillery, cavalry and other headquarters are just temporary institutions that assemble various services and arms and complete training and troop formation. After the formation and training of the troops are completed, these arms headquarters will be downgraded to
The secondary organization of the headquarters is only responsible for the daily training of the troops, as well as the configuration and organization of equipment, and is no longer responsible for commanding the troops in operations.
Chen Hanzhang was transferred to the commander of the Armored Forces. He only participated in the formation of various units of the Armored Forces and the training of these units used as seeds. The most important thing was to find a set of armored force tactics that were consistent with the Anti-Japanese Alliance. He himself had extremely high talents, and under Yang
Under Zhen's deliberate training, Chen Hanzhang's tactical vision and strategic vision are quite high.
In particular, his tactical literacy is quite good, he has a strong ability to accept new things, and he dares to explore new combat modes. The wonderful battle in North Korea is not something ordinary people can fight. Yang Zhen believes that it is important for him to form an armored force.
The military type is an extremely appropriate choice.
This is different from Yang Zhen, who has a golden finger. Chen Hanzhang can achieve these things entirely by relying on his innate talent, as well as acquired hard work and hard work. Of course, he has served as a division-level commander in the Anti-Japanese League for many years and led independently.
A unit with the best strength and equipment among the First Army, its long-term experience in guerrilla warfare also has a lot to do with it.
Chen Hanzhang, who is only 28 years old this year, is the first among all division commanders and above in the Anti-Japanese War to be able to drive a tank, and the first to accurately hit the target with a tank gun. He also learned how to drive an airplane, calibrate an artillery, etc.
Professional skills in multiple arms. It can be said that in terms of ability and level in using multiple arms, he is even better than Wang Guangyu.
However, Chen Hanzhang himself has strict requirements, and he has equally strict requirements for his subordinates. He has always believed that if he can do something, his subordinates must also be able to do it. Although he has been the commander of the armored force for less than a year, he has already conquered the armored force.
The combat effectiveness of the two brigades is fully formed, and the troop organization is also reasonable.
But it was precisely the extremely strict requirements for himself that made Chen Hanzhang too rigid about the Tongliao operation, the adaptability of the troops below and the execution of tactics on the battlefield. Faced with a large number of permanent and semi-permanent fortifications of the Japanese army, he was still stubborn
The performance of the tactics used either to contain the flanks and turn around, or to use tanks to cover the infantry and fight hard was very unsatisfactory.
Coming back from the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, he once independently led a main force for a long time. He expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the troops' disdain for the captured Japanese weapons and equipment instead of making good use of them.
In his eyes, this is undoubtedly a huge waste.
Among his many dissatisfactions, he was most dissatisfied with tactical problems. In particular, despite having certain response tactics, commanders at all levels still tied up all the equipment they could mobilize.
In my hands, I have never thought about strengthening these equipment to the front-line attack troops.
As a result, if you need anti-aircraft machine gun level fire cover in the front, you have to apply to your superiors and get approval from your superiors before they can be equipped. This back and forth wastes a lot of time in communication between superiors and subordinates. In the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the first company level has a walkie-talkie.
, can communicate with superiors. However, at the platoon level, there is no means of communication except for correspondents. However, the current battlefield situation is most suitable for operations based on squads and platoons.
Moreover, they did not adopt a combat model based on strengthening squads, forming a multi-arms joint small unit to cooperate, and multi-point penetration to cooperate with each other. They still clung to the idea of large group operations. In the battle, company-level troops were always used as the main force.
The base attack was used to launch the troops. The tactics of one point, two sides, four groups and one team, which No. 1 repeatedly emphasized, were almost completely forgotten.
The automatic rifles currently equipped by the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance can indeed suppress a crooked or Type 96 light machine gun with two cross-fires. Coupled with a squad light machine gun, the firepower of a squad is enough to suppress the troops.
Japanese military fortification group in a small group.
However, all the fortifications of the Japanese army are not only equipped with machine guns, but also a large number of riflemen. Not only can each fortification group itself be in a cross-covering state, but it can also form a three-dimensional cross-cooperation with the surrounding fortification groups. In this case, the original
The squad, and even the first-level troops, obviously lacked suppressive firepower.
And in this case, adopting a frontal assault or a simple flank assault will only cause the attack surface to be too narrow, and the movement of the troops will be greatly restricted. If the squad is used as the organization, after strengthening part of the direct firepower, adopt
Multi-faceted assaults, multi-point penetration and mutual support, and tactical progress in flexible operations will also be greater.
The 60 guns equipped at the first level of the company do not have enough firepower of rocket launchers. Although the general machine gun has a fast rate of fire, its long-range fire suppression power is somewhat insufficient. The battalion's 82 mortars and 57 recoilless rifles have 12 mm high and flat guns.
Dual-purpose machine guns, because they are always controlled at the battalion level, are not distributed to each infantry company, so that even at the company level, the number of suppressive firepower is far from meeting the needs.
The 60mm mortars equipped by each company have achieved considerable results in dealing with Japanese traffic trenches, trenches, and Japanese machine gun firepower points without solid fortification cover. However, they have failed to deal with the majority of the covered tanks.
The power of civil fortifications is obviously insufficient. As for permanent and semi-permanent fortifications, these 60-gun cannons have basically no effect.
If the recoilless rifles of the battalion's recoilless rifle platoon are assigned to each infantry platoon, the number of supplementary rocket launchers will be insufficient. Strengthening the 82 mortar to the company level instead of being tied to the battalion level can make the firepower allocation more flexible.
, can also greatly strengthen the firepower organization of the attacking troops.
However, the captured Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery, 37 rapid-fire artillery and Taisho 11-year-old infantry 37 flat-firing artillery were insufficiently used. There was an urgent need to follow the artillery cover in the front, and the use of mountain field artillery was suppressed by enemy artillery fire and the minefields were blocked.
, and due to the slow movement of its own weight and the inability to keep up with the attacking troops, more than a dozen captured Japanese artillery pieces were idle behind and were not used at all.
The Japanese 92 Infantry Artillery can be pushed by one person, and can be used by two people easily. With the help of certain cover, it can even be easily pushed into the nose of the Japanese bunker. It is quite suitable to use the artillery as a bayonet tactics on the artillery.
of.
It is still very powerful to use these 92 infantry guns as direct-aiming artillery to destroy the Japanese non-permanent fortification groups at close range. If a precise point strike is adopted and the launch hole is hit at close range, then the target
Those permanent and semi-permanent fortifications are also a considerable threat.
Even if it cannot penetrate an overly thick reinforced concrete protective layer, if a 70mm grenade explodes inside, it can still kill a large number of defenders inside. And without the defenders, what is the use of being strong, no matter how strong the fortifications are?
