For this guard battalion commander, from the first day he was transferred to the guard regiment as battalion commander, he was taught that even if a Japanese soldier approached the headquarters and threatened the safety of the headquarters and No. 1, the headquarters was stolen by outsiders.
Every piece of paper is a disgrace to the security forces. Even if the methods are more vicious, they will not hesitate to protect the safety of the headquarters and No. 1.
In his opinion, being touched by the Japanese army on the periphery of his front finger was already a huge shame for himself and his troops. If the Japanese soldier pretended to be dead and got away with it, he would once again threaten No. 1.
It's safe. He doesn't need to issue removal orders on the 3rd and 6th, he would be ashamed of himself.
For him, the security battalion commander, the safety of the front finger and No. 1 is greater than anything else. Being soft-hearted to the enemy is irresponsible to oneself. As for what others think, it has nothing to do with him. Those around him
There was no need for him to pay attention to the shocked looks from his fellow troops.
So far, the Japanese army has invested around Renqiu this time, the first and currently the only special forces unit of the entire North China Front, more than 300 people, except for these three brothers who were left alive for some special reasons.
Outside, the rest of the army was wiped out, and no one was able to return to the original place of departure.
As the corpses of these Japanese soldiers were buried in this tomb on the spot, the first special operations force of the Japanese army in North China completely disappeared on the land of Jizhong. Except for the pools of blood on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up.
, in the entire Renqiu North Gate battlefield, no trace of the existence of this Japanese army could be found.
The high hopes that General Neiji Okamura, the commander of the Japanese North China Front, had for this Japanese unit were wiped out as their bodies were buried in the ground. General Okamura's expectations for this unit to save the war situation,
In the end it turned into a pile of bubbles.
I have only scratched the surface, but I am far from mastering the true theory of special operations. Whether it is a special force or an agent force, it is not an ordinary force. In the end, it is regarded as an infiltration force, as well as Masuko Shigeo used by ordinary infantry, and even the entire
The top brass of the Japanese army finally suffered from the fact that they were still too conservative in the strategic use of this kind of troops.
As Yang Zhen commented, no special forces were used in this way by the Japanese army. Investing more than 300 people on one front is indeed not a large number. Putting these 300 people on a single battlefield is not considered a problem. But
According to the true special operations model, this kind of operation should penetrate through multiple channels like mercury pouring down the ground, each targeting the target, and tactically cooperating with each other.
If Masuko Shigeo could be more calm, he could break the 300 men under his command into pieces and infiltrate through the four gates of Renqiu. Or wait until night and use the heavy grenade he carried to launch
Climbing tools are used to climb the city from multiple directions. After the process, a target-centered and multi-path penetration approach may not give him any chance of success.
The Anti-Japanese Alliance does not have many troops to guard the inner line. It can only control four city gates and part of the city wall when it has to bear the responsibility of guarding the front line. If it can be more prudent, it can change to a multi-channel infiltration operation at night.
, the anti-alliance security forces had to focus on one thing at the expense of the other.
However, he still followed the action plan when he was raiding the Taihang Mountains. He chose the tactic of concentrating all his forces to attack a single point. He wanted to make a small breakthrough, completely defeat the enemy's first line of defense, and then use the tactic of using one point to break through the whole line.
.
He forgot that there was no artillery support, flank cover and follow-up support. He changed the special operations mode to a tough battle for ordinary infantry. These special forces who had been painstakingly trained were finally used as ordinary infantry. What he did
The subordinates who have been painstakingly cultivated are all wasted on violent attacks.
Of course, if it were other ordinary troops, or even ordinary combat troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it would not be unreasonable for him to do so. He might even use the military qualities of his subordinates to break through the North in a short time.
door. But he happened to encounter a tough hedgehog and an opponent who was more professional than him.
Not only was he unable to achieve a breakthrough in the shortest time as he had planned, but he also wasted his precious fighter planes and subordinates on futile attacks. Sneak attacks that might have affected the entire battle situation,
It was a mess made by himself. If he could go back alive and learn from his experience, this failure might make the Japanese army adjust its operation mode.
It's a pity that he and his men, together with the instructors who wanted to get first-hand information, disappeared in the land of Jizhong. For the Japanese army, no matter what kind of experience they gained from this battle, it was impossible to bring them back.
.Their experiences were buried along with their bodies in the Jizhong Plain.
The Japanese army, which has been accustomed to more detailed considerations in battlefield research, wanted to master first-hand information in order to prepare for tactical adjustments. In this operation, not only the trained troops were dispatched, but also their tactical instructors.
Go out together.
As a result, not only did these instructors fail to satisfy the original ideas of the Japanese military leaders and bring back first-hand information, but they even got involved themselves. Unless Okamura Neiji once again asked for help from the Kwantung Army, everything would be lost.
The North China Front Army's idea of training a similar force can only go so far.
Although they have accepted new things, the Japanese are still very conservative in their hearts. In fact, they do not need to painstakingly study certain tactics of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Their own allies have very good, and even relatively mature special operations tactics. Although
It's not as good as the Anti-Japanese Alliance's tactics, but it's much better than the Japanese's half-empty tactics.
Not to mention anything else, the Japanese's current ally, the German Brandenburg Regiment, had used tactics in the battlefields of Europe and North Africa. The Japanese could learn half of the tactics that were enough to use them. Especially the German army in April 3rd.
The special operation to rescue the Italian dictator in the middle of the year can be described as a classic among classics.
But the Japanese army insisted on being single-minded and wanted to learn the tactics of their opponents that they had only fought against on the battlefield. However, they did not capture a single prisoner. Also, because of the activities of the special forces of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, in addition to the necessary interrogation of prisoners,
Apart from that, there are basically no survivors left, so there is not much useful information.
What they came up with was scratchy, and the whole tactics were completely imitated, and the strategic application went completely astray. The final thing they came up with was still based on the tactics of the Masuko Advance Team and the Continental Advance Team under the Eleventh Army.
.Finally, I added some tactics from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, as well as the Japanese army’s own penetration tactics.
At the same time, the tactical qualities demonstrated on the battlefield by similar units of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were used as training simulation objects, but they did not completely break away from the original old tactics of the Japanese army. The result of patchwork was to create a four-dimensional image.
The only effect was to arouse Yang Zhen's vigilance.
However, this incident aroused Yang Zhen's vigilance, but it does not mean that Yang Zhen will put all his energy on this. For Yang Zhen, at the moment, he still has to put more energy on the Jizhong battlefield
At the same time, we must also take into account the Northeastern battlefield. As for the special forces that have appeared in the Japanese army, we will wait until the conclusion is made after the war.
While Masuko Shigeo was fighting hard outside the north gate of Renqiu, the reinforcements mobilized from the Japanese base camp were also rushing towards the Jizhong battlefield. In order to avoid the Shandong battlefield, which had become a mess, they were not subject to the Shandong Communist Army's interference.
To contain them, the Japanese army even did not hesitate to detour to eastern Henan for reinforcements.
As for the frequent actions of the Chongqing side in the First War Zone that have been revealed by intelligence, the Japanese army did not take it seriously at all. They believed that they were just some small actions made by the Chongqing side to cope with the pressure under the suppression of domestic political and public opinion. At present, most of the elite
The Chongqing army concentrated on the China-Myanmar border and the Myanmar battlefield is incapable of opening up new battlefields.
What's more, Chongqing, which is already at odds with Yan'an, will not take chestnuts from the fire for Yan'an at this time and consume its own elite troops to cooperate with Yan'an's war situation in North China. The entire Chinese dispatched army, except for Gang
Neiji Murura was still vigilant about the actions in the First War Zone, but he was unable to deal with them anymore.
The rest, whether it was the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force or the Japanese base camp, did not pay any attention to the deployment of troops and generals in the First Theater. However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force also ordered the 11th Army stationed in central China to enter a state of combat readiness in case Chongqing might
There will be changes. However, the Japanese army did not pay too much attention to the First War Zone.
In the end, we don’t know whether it was mental calculation or unintentional, or whether it was not mental calculation but intentional. The two newly reinforced Japanese divisions were on their way to Jizhong via eastern Henan at starry night. In eastern Henan, under the full cover of the U.S. Air Force stationed in China,
The two group armies in the First Theater who launched a full-scale counterattack towards the east bank of the New Yellow River happened to collide hard.
In order to take advantage of the opportunity that the main force of the Japanese North China Front was pinned down in the battlefields of Hebei and Shandong, to regain the entire eastern Henan region and alleviate the growing political pressure in the country. The military commander dispatched by the Chongqing Military Commission arrived in Luoyang to take charge of the battle, and the so-called "Inexhaustible Strategy"
Under the supervision of Zhuge's deputy chief of staff and the first director of the attendant's office.
Although the deputy commander-in-chief of the First Theater was very reluctant to part with him, he still invested his own capital in the 13th Army and the 85th Army, his two most beloved armies, as well as all the artillery. In 194
On January 2, 4th year, they forcibly crossed the New Yellow River, avoided the Yellow River Flood Area, and launched a comprehensive attack on Kaifeng. At the same time, a group army launched an attack to the east of the New Yellow River.
Of course, the deputy commander-in-chief, who served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, adhered to the consistent idea of using miscellaneous names to be the scapegoats. The group army that attacked the east of the New Yellow River still sent a group army mainly composed of miscellaneous troops. But his two hearts
The meat was placed on the battlefield around Kaifeng, in a position that could be advanced and attacked, and retreated and defended. The main artillery force was also given to these two armies.
Chongqing attaches great importance to this counter-offensive in the First Theater. Not only did it send the deputy chief of staff and the director of the first division of the attendant's office to supervise the operation, it also gave the director of the attendant's office great power to deal with those below the army who were unfavorable in the operation.
A senior general has the right to kill first and then report later.
In order to prevent the troops below from not working hard and playing tricks to preserve their strength. In addition to sending two generals to supervise the battle, the head of the Military Commission also personally sent multiple secret messages to the deputy commander-in-chief. Tell him
If this confidant and direct general fails to win East Henan in this battle, he, the deputy commander of the theater, will be severely punished. If that unit dares to be cunning and conserve its strength, its establishment will be abolished on the spot.
There was a steel knife at the neck, and behind him was the first director of the attendant room who had always been at odds with him, and his eyes were always looking for something to do. Even if the deputy commander wanted to be cunning, he could not save his strength.
Such courage. Therefore, these two armies in the first theater worked very hard during combat operations.
