Chapter 5 The war starts, and the military division becomes an army (25)
Gao Miao's behavior is undoubtedly crazy. To put it mildly, he has already killed his own way of life before the fight started. And he is not the only one who is crazy. Liu Yemin, the commander of the anti-tank battalion of Xuebing Army, is undoubtedly also considered crazy. Previous,
According to the original established strategy, they had to wait for the Japs' tanks to fully enter the range before starting to counterattack. However, after Daejeon formed such a highly targeted and strange formation, they realized that waiting for the Japs to approach would face pressure from the infantry. At the same time, , and seeing that Gao Chao's troops had caused chaos in the Japanese formation, Liu Yemin made a prompt decision and ordered all anti-tank guns to be moved out of the trenches, preparing to rush forward to cooperate with Gao Chao and others to give the opponent a head-on attack.
The superb crazy tactics were undoubtedly successful. Once the Japs' engineers were suppressed, Daejeon's tank troops seemed a little embarrassed because they didn't know how many mines were laid in front of them. It would be a stupid move to advance, and once they Stopping, the role of the mobile fortress is lost and can only be used as a fort. However, how useful can a 57-mm caliber fort be? Don't forget that the 38th Division also has a heavy artillery unit.
If it were the Xuebing Army on the opposite side at this time, the artillery shells would have already been whizzing down. Under the leadership of Zhang Zizhong, although the 38th Division's military appearance, military discipline, and combat effectiveness were no worse than those of Xu Aiba, their difference was that they were incompatible with the times. They have advanced combat skills and command skills. The gap between the two armies in this regard can be clearly identified through the contact methods between their superiors and subordinates.
There are walkie-talkies and telephones between the cadet armies. As for the 38th Division, although there are telephones, they are very few in number. Most of the time, they can only communicate through manpower, horse power and telegraphs. Although telegraphs are also very fast, they are not suitable for superiors and subordinates. The level of tacit understanding between them is high, and the requirements for the military literacy of frontline commanders are also very high. For example, at this time, Li Kexia and Huang Weigang should have been the first to call for artillery support, but they chose to organize a The Suicide Squad…
From this point of view, Li Kexia and Huang Weigang are also very crazy people, and in this battle in Tianjin, there are destined to be many crazy people who will be talked about in the future, such as Ouyang Yun, Guo Biao and the Iron Warriors of Langya ,
Just when the battle on the Haijiazhuang frontline was in full swing, Ouyang Yun consulted Zhang Zizhong and came up with a crazy plan. He wanted Langya to behead him again, and the target was Dofeiyuan.
Among the many high-ranking officials of the Military Academy, Zhang Zhen did not even get to the front line during the Battle of Wen'an because he did not have many contact battles with the Japs. Therefore, he and Li Tieshu both stayed to observe the battle. In order to accumulate experience in the future fight against the Japs, Ouyang Yun went directly to Guo Biao through a special line between the 38th Division and the Xuebing Army, and asked the latter to quickly lead the strongest squadron to Tianjin.
Because the ultimate goal of this battle was to lure the enemy deep and then capture them, although artillery units were available, Zhang Zizhong chose to let Huang Weigang's 112th Brigade engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japs, while temporarily hiding the artillery units and waiting for the day to come. After the blackout, they carried out large-scale transfers. At the same time, other troops such as the 113th Brigade, which were originally reserve forces, began to run towards the newly established strategic location. They would set up an ambush in a place called a horizontal depression, and then wait for a group of troops. The 1st and 2nd Brigades brought the entire 108th Brigade and a dissatisfied brigade from the Huabeitun garrison into the ambush.
When Zhang Zizhong and Ouyang Yun began to mobilize their troops and rearrange their layout, the Japanese army, Dofeihara, led all the remaining troops to Haijiazhuang with great momentum. Halfway through, when they passed a three-way intersection, they were familiar with the situation. An idea flashed in Tufeiyuan's mind in this terrain, and he separated a regiment and asked them to go around the side of Haijiazhuang along the road leading to Jixian County. The task he assigned to this regiment was: Instead of laying siege to the 38th Division, they would launch an attack on Tianjin City if the opportunity arose. I have to admit that Doihara's tactics were vicious enough. In this case, there would be a melee between the two sides because of the multi-national concessions that existed in that area of the city. If it does, it will definitely hurt innocent people. If a nationality dispute arises, because Japan is far more powerful than China in the world, China will definitely suffer the loss. Maybe it can achieve the set strategic goals without using weapons, and 38 The division drove out of Tianjin,
Doihara's abacus was very good. Unfortunately, he didn't know that his opponents were not just Zhang Zizhong and his 38th Division. Speaking of which, the old Japanese was still too arrogant, or he didn't know what Ouyang Yun was like at all. In his mind, Ouyang Yun is just a warlord, and such existences that can be found everywhere in the vast land of China have a common characteristic, that is, they care about their own territory. In this case, they are most happy to see Nothing is worse than that of his competitors (in his opinion, no matter how familiar Zhang Zizhong and Ouyang Yun appear on the surface, when it comes to issues of interest, they are definitely not friends but competitors) whose strength has been weakened, so , although it seems from various signs that the destruction of our artillery and air force forces seems to have been tampered with by the Xuebing Army, but because there was no information from Renqiu that the Xuebing Army was leaving the country, it has been pushed to the edge. The old devil can only deceive himself and others and make such inferences.
Since Renqiu established the self-defense force as a civilian armed force, his defense work has indeed become much stricter. However, for Dofeiyuan, which has been rooted in North China for many years, it is still easy to ambush one or two spies in a remote corner. Of course, this It can only be said fairly, because the old devil didn't know that just after the Xuebing Research and Development Institute and the power plant were destroyed, Hu Tong, under the leadership of Mu Jiandie, had already named all the suspicious elements in Renqiu, and just Not long after the Japanese army and the 38th Division entered into a confrontation, the spies trusted by the old Japanese were already under guard one by one. Now, let alone spying on intelligence, it was even a problem for them to be appointed to Qiucheng.
The power of the people is powerful. Those who are not descendants of later generations and have not received relevant education in CGD cannot understand the meaning of this sentence. Ouyang Yun precisely possesses these two conditions at the same time. Only in this way can he Only by coming up with the idea of the Self-Defense Force can we use the power of the people to firmly control the saboteurs, and can we make Doihara, an old devil with a background in intelligence, act like a blind man when facing the Xuebing Army. ,,
When it comes to war, intelligence is really important, and in this regard, the old devil has already lost.
