Wang Guangyu was in a tough fight, and Liu Changshun's side was not fighting well. Although Yang Zhen did not explicitly express his dissatisfaction with Liu Changshun's unit's inability to make greater progress. [.Com text] But Yang Zhen regarded Wang Guangyu's side as
The battle situation that had achieved breakthrough progress was conveyed to Liu Changshun.
After receiving the report from Wang Guangyu about the battle situation from Yang Zhen, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming looked at each other and knew that this was the commander's displeasure at being unable to make greater progress. The two men understood the meaning of the telegram sent by Yang Zhen.
People can only smile silently and bitterly.
It is impossible to say that the two of them did not work hard. However, due to the change in the situation, the counterattack was carried out in advance. Just a few hours after entering the designated position and before they had time to familiarize themselves with the battlefield situation, the attack launched by the second brigade was actually a bit too much.
Hasty.
In addition to the battle intelligence provided by the reconnaissance battalion on some key locations, such as the location of the 24th Division's regiment headquarters, the Second Brigade, which only had time to conduct partial tactical reconnaissance, did not know much about the situation facing the Japanese army.
Moreover, except for a reinforced regiment commanded by Ma Chunsheng on the southern front to outflank the Japanese army's retreat, the actual strength of the Second Brigade that launched the attack on the Japanese flank was only one regiment with two battalions. However, its operational frontal width was Wang Guangyu's
More than twice as much. Although the wide width dispersed the Japanese defensive forces, it undoubtedly also dispersed the offensive deployment of the first brigade. Especially when the forces were almost equal and the attacking forces did not have an absolute advantage.
After the third brigade was temporarily adjusted and transferred to the front, the Japanese field troops in front of them had only one large brigade of the field detachment, but the attached troops were miscellaneous and quite a lot in total. The main force of the engineering regiment and the baggage regiment were
Most of the troops were composed of two squadrons of the search wing. The various troops combined totaled two to three thousand Japanese troops.
Although this part of the Japanese army did not have many field troops and only had one brigade. However, although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese engineering and baggage regiments at this time could not be compared with the regular field infantry, in the Japanese army, which has always focused on elite soldiers, these non-combat troops were actually
But its combat effectiveness is not weak.
We must know that the actual combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops, especially these regular field divisions, which were in their heyday at this time, even as non-combat troops, was quite strong. Their actual combat effectiveness was similar to that of the Japanese army that fought eastward and westward after the outbreak of the Pacific War.
They are not inferior to those well-trained infantry regiments formed by the Hundred-Zihao Division.
Many times, these non-combat troops, which are almost extremely powerful, are thrown into battle with insufficient strength, which often becomes the last straw for the Japanese army to crush its opponents. The Japanese army has repeatedly used these troops when they lost battles.
The non-combat troops were temporarily put into battle as field infantry regiments.
Together with the remnants of the search wing and the field detachment, although Liu Changshun had an absolute advantage in firepower, he only had a slight advantage compared with the Japanese army. With the Japanese army's usual tenacious style, and the fact that they were not familiar with the battlefield situation, the battle
It’s no surprise that the fight was extremely difficult.
In fact, neither Liu Changshun nor Wang Xiaoming expected that the 40th Regiment had a strong fighting capacity, and the engineers and heavy equipment of the 24th Division also fought extremely tenaciously. In many cases, these non-combat troops under ordinary circumstances also fought extremely tenaciously.
They all dared to hold bayonets and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the attacking troops. This caused the first brigade's attack on the northern front group to be extremely unsatisfactory.
However, after receiving Yang Zhen's telegram, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiao made it clear that they did not defend themselves. In fact, the progress of the war made them blush. After several days of hard fighting, there were heavy casualties, and Wang Guangyu, who had few available troops, took the responsibility.
In the case of the main force of the Forty Regiment, the progress was actually greater than when faced with a bunch of Japanese soldiers, which left the two of them with no excuse at all.
After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaoming said: "Old Liu, we can't continue fighting like this. It's about to dawn. If we continue fighting like this, we won't even be able to complete the first phase of the combat mission assigned by the headquarters before dawn.
I think it would be better to change the current tit-for-tat tactics with the Japanese army and concentrate our superior forces to attack this field detachment first."
"No matter how many troops the Japanese army participated in the war, and how strong their baggage troops and engineers were in combat, the main force was still the infantry brigade of the field detachment. Although the fighting will and quality of the Japanese miscellaneous soldiers were almost the same as those of the regular Japanese field regiments, they
There is still a certain gap in their tactical literacy."
"As the saying goes, there is specialization in Taoism. Although these Japanese soldiers have also undergone basic Japanese combat training, they cannot be equally proficient in tactical training. I just took a look. Although the Japanese engineers and baggage soldiers in front of us have no tactical movements.
Not bad, and the marksmanship is also very good. But the basic tactical coordination is still incomparable with that of the field detachment. Its equipment, especially light and heavy machine guns, and the number of grenade launchers are not many."
"I think we will first concentrate our forces to defeat the infantry brigade of this field detachment, and then use one of our forces to attack the heavy baggage troops and engineers and switch from offense to defense. We will concentrate our elite troops to penetrate deep into them, trying to fight against those who have broken through the depth of the Japanese defense."
The brigades merged to complete the division of the Japanese army."
"When you are poor, you want to change. We are the only unit among the three brigades in the military region that currently have all three regiments at full strength. It is really unjustifiable that the war is going like this. It is time to change our tactics."
In response to Wang Xiaoming's suggestion, Liu Changshun raised his head and looked at the already slightly brightening sky in the east. He gritted his teeth and called Wang Kaixiang, the commander of the 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment who was commanding at the front. He ignored the pleasantries and the first words he said were:
I give you a reinforced battalion and attach it to a mortar company. How long will it take you to defeat the field detachment in front of you?"
Liu Changshun's question made Wang Kaixiang slightly stunned, and then he understood that this was a tactical adjustment the brigade commander had to make. Wang Kaixiang thought about it for a while and said: "Brigadier, give me two hours. If you can't defeat this field detachment, it's already gone."
I'm here to see the incomplete brigade. However, I have to bring along our regiment's anti-aircraft machine guns."
When Liu Changshun heard the guarantee he wanted from Wang Kaixiang's mouth, he said without any ambiguity: "Okay. Just bring your old troops, the fourth regiment and one battalion, and I will reinforce my guard company for you. Two hours
, remember you only have two hours, that is to say, before dawn, even if you cannot completely eliminate this field detachment, you can at least defeat it and create conditions for the main follow-up operations."
After listening to Liu Changshun's explanation, Wang Kaixiang nodded solemnly and said: "Brigade commander, political commissar, don't worry, if the battle cannot be resolved within two hours, I will not come back to see you. Our fourth regiment is the first regiment of our second brigade.
, I will never embarrass you."
Regarding Wang Kaixiang's rather unsuccessful words, Wang Xiaoming was quite dissatisfied and said: "What did you say? I tell you Wang Kaixiang, not only must you complete the mission, you must also come back alive for me. As a commander,
Don’t always think about what to die for.”
"You are a commander, and your responsibility is not to die in a grand and passionate way. It is to figure out how to achieve the greatest results with the least casualties. It is to lead your men to victory, not to lead them to victory.
Death. We are soldiers and are not afraid of death. This is necessary. But we must not make unnecessary sacrifices."
"It's not easy to train a cadre in the army, and it's even harder to train a senior commander. So you don't die lightly, you must live for me. If you can't adjust this mentality, I, the political commissar, can be removed without the brigade commander's words.
You. If you can't position yourself correctly, let Huang Yao go. Is this the lesson the commander taught you when you were in the training team? Have you learned all that knowledge from a dog?"
Wang Kaixiang, who had been beaten, said with a smile: "Political Commissar, please don't be angry. I didn't say this to show off. Yes, in the words of the commander, is it called sensational? Don't worry, I will definitely do it in the smallest possible way."
Casualties and achieve maximum results."
At this point, Wang Kaixiang's face became solemn again and he said: "Brigade commander, political commissar, time waits for no one, I am going to fight. Do you two leaders have anything else to explain? Again, please rest assured.
Their first brigade is fighting well now, and our second brigade is not just selling cabbage."
Liu Changshun shook his head and said nothing, but Wang Xiaoming felt that as a political commissar, he still had to say a few words of encouragement. Wang Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "Okay, you don't need a heavy hammer to ring the drum. I know that your fourth regiment has been working with the first brigade.
They are fighting in secret."
"But it's no fun to compete on the training ground. Compete with your opponents on the battlefield to see who can perform better and eliminate more enemies. This is the true nature of a soldier. The commander often said a saying, which is called brave men who meet on a narrow road.
Victory. Now it’s up to you, the four groups, to see if you can shoulder the title of brave."
After listening to Wang Xiaoming's words, Wang Kaixiang nodded slightly, solemnly saluted a standard military salute to his brigade commander and political commissar, and then turned around and went down to assemble the troops.
Looking at Wang Kaixiang's back, Liu Changshun turned around and called to a combat staff officer: "Go and inform the artillery, don't feel bad about the shells. Even if you pile up the shells, you have to blast a way for me in front of the field detachment. And also blow up the headquarters."
I will shoot out all the flares issued."
After the combat staff quickly recorded Liu Changshun's order, he was about to turn around when he was stopped by Wang Xiaoming. After Wang Xiaoming hesitated for a moment, he said to Liu Changshun: "Should we ask the Second Battalion of the Fifth Regiment to cooperate from their flanks?"
, at least disperse the firepower of this field detachment and protect their flanks."
"I took a look and found that we had not made much progress before. Not only was the resistance of the Japanese army too tenacious, which exceeded our expectations. The cooperation between the Fourth Regiment and the Second Battalion of the Fifth Regiment was not very tacit, and there was even a sense of unfamiliarity.
.I suggest Huang Yao, the commander of the Fifth Regiment, not to go there and stay here to command the rest of the Fourth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment. The second battalion of the Fifth Regiment is under the unified command of Wang Kaixiang."
Liu Changshun thought for a while and said to the staff officer: "Just follow the political commissar's wishes and order the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment to enter the battle from the right wing of Commander Wang. At the same time, let Huang Yao come over and take over Wang Kaixiang's original command position."
After the staff officer left, Liu Changshun sighed and then said: "Old Wang, no, I have to ask the commander and political commissar to get you back. Since you went to the first division, I feel like I have broken an arm. Old Wang
Matthew was too careful and prudent. He didn't care about anything except military matters. Even the daily management of the troops rarely interfered.
"Commander, I don't know what I'm thinking. You haven't given me a political commissar since you left. I'm really busy with the military and political affairs, and I'm not good at political affairs. Besides, if there is a new political commissar,
, it’s okay if their personalities get along well. If you can’t pee in a pot, what else can you do besides quarreling all day long?”
"Our regiment has now been upgraded to a brigade. You, the political commissar of the military division, can be considered equal if you are transferred back. What's the point of that military division? It's just trivial things all day long. It's better to come back. I will be the brigade commander and you will be the brigade commander.
Brigade political commissar, let’s continue working together.”
"You don't know, I get angry when I see how proud Du Kaishan is. Doesn't he just have a good political commissar? It's not that I haven't had one before, it's just that he was transferred away."
In response to Liu Changshun's complaint, Wang Xiaoming shook his head and sighed: "Old Liu, you are now a brigade commander commanding tens of thousands of people, and you should be more mature. If this is based on the old Northeastern Army's establishment in the past, it is not realistic.
In terms of military strength, you are at least a major general now. You can't always act according to your temper. It's time to mature and learn to adapt to changes in the situation."
"Whether I am willing to be transferred back and continue to partner with you, this is not just wishful thinking on our part. We must obey the overall situation. The adjustment and use of cadres by the headquarters must be based on the overall situation. The commander and political commissar cannot only care about
Your family has three main brigades, three military divisions, tens of thousands of troops, and everything is complicated, but they have so many thoughts on you alone? Do they only care about your feelings? "
"Whether I come back or not, you must now learn to take charge of the overall situation, rather than just looking at the things in your own bowl. A brigade commander must have a brigade commander's vision. The difference between a regiment commander and a brigade commander is not just that
In that word, the difference in responsibilities between the two is not a little bit."
"No matter what country's establishment, you are now considered a senior commander. But the regiment leader can only be considered a mid-level commander. You must adapt to your new identity, and your mind and vision should broaden as your position rises.
.In fact, we should all learn from the commander on this point."
"Since you know that Lao Ma is too thoughtful, why don't you do his job? If you can't do it, you are a clumsy talker. Can you go to the commander to help you communicate? Why not? Since you dare to use Lao Ma freely, why don't you want to go?
Untie his knot?"
"The commander had a conversation with me when he temporarily transferred me from the first division to assist you. Originally, according to the headquarters' wishes, he did not want to upgrade the three main regiments so quickly. Because in addition to Brigadier Wang's special resume
, you and Lao Du have only been leaders for more than half a year. They are still very immature."
"But considering the battlefield command, we also considered that with the expansion and development of the army, the establishment will be expanded sooner or later. That's why the headquarters made a great determination to expand your three main regiments into brigades. He hopes that we, the brigade-level
Cadres should not live up to the expectations of the headquarters, mature as soon as possible and fulfill their responsibilities. These words are not said to Brigadier Wang, who was the deputy army commander, but to you and me."
Wang Xiaoming's words made Liu Changshun silent. He listened to Wang Xiaoming's words today. He also understood the meaning of the words.
Looking at the dazzling trajectory of the artillery shells fired by Wang Kaixiang who was covering the attack not far away in the darkness before dawn, Liu Changshun was silent for a long time before saying: "Old Wang, I understand what you said. You
Don’t worry, I will meet your expectations as soon as possible.”
