For the third company, it was indeed not good. The two mountain cannons stayed in the same place for too long. As long as one person in the Luqiao group was an artilleryman, the shooting Zhuyuan must have been calculated at this time, and the Luqiao group's Those two mountain cannons are really cleverly hidden. That stone, not to mention the three rounds of "drop bombs" (which are all filled with special projectiles), is impossible to target even a real bomb. What damage does it cause?
The two mountain guns of the Luqiao group fired one after another. The first shell was a little far away from the artillery position of the third company, but the next one was ready to hit.
Two gunshots opened the prelude to the counterattack of the Luqiao group. Unlike the three companies that were divided into three groups, Wang Qiangbao bet all his wealth as soon as he took action. After blasting the two mountain cannons (meaning, two drills were fired) Special grenades are enough), all ninety-seven people drove out of the trenches without pulling a single one, and attacked the feint attack platoon of the third company. The one at the front was an assault group composed of all Wei Qing assault rifles and submachine guns, and the ones behind were All people use medium and formal weapons,
Seeing all this, Ouyang Yun put down the telescope, found a chair, sat down, and started smoking leisurely, as if the overall situation was decided. Zhang Da and others were all veterans, so they naturally understood the power of this move. When the strength of both sides is equal, the most taboo thing is to disperse the troops. Originally, if the road and bridge group stood still, Guo Taiping's surprise attack team might be able to launch a surprise attack under the cover of the other two groups and decide the matter in one fell swoop. However, Once the Luqiao team chooses to dispatch all of them, no matter which part of the target is, the third company will be at a local disadvantage. Now, if the third company still wants to win, it depends on whether the soldiers responsible for the feint attack can equal ten and give more to Luqiao. The group has caused damage or has been delayed for a long enough time,
Both Zhang Da and Guo Taiping underestimated the strength of the Luqiao Group. This is related to the daily training methods of the Xuebing Army. Compared with other units, the biggest feature of the Xuebing Army's training is that it never skimps on the consumption of bullets, which makes the Xuebing Army The shooting level of Bingjun soldiers is much higher than that of other troops.
There is another decisive factor that Zhang Da and others have also ignored. On the surface, both sides have half of the firearms used daily. It seems that both sides are on the same starting line, but in fact they are not. Based on the fact that Wei Qing series firearms are much higher In terms of formal performance, the Luqiao team's familiarity with Wei Qing series firearms has shown its advantages.
Most of the people in the platoon of the third company responsible for the feint attack were armed with Wei Qing series firearms. They were not familiar with the use of these firearms. As a result, at least nine out of ten people fired all their bullets as soon as they pulled the trigger, and Lu Qiao The assault teams of the group are all skilled in using short bursts of fire, giving the soldiers of the third company the feeling as if the bullets in their guns are endless, as if there is no end.
The first round of encounters between the two sides ended with the withdrawal of five members of the road and bridge group and the withdrawal of all three companies of the feint attack platoon. Moreover, the time limit was only ten minutes.
After the victory in the first wave of contact battles, the Luqiao group did not stop and continued to attack the main position of the third company. It seemed that they were not aware of the whereabouts of the group led by Guo Taiping.
Did they really not notice it at all? It seems that Guo Taiping and his men did a good job in hiding. However, after the set target left, everything they did was in vain.
At this point in the exercise, there was no suspense anymore, and the strange tactics displayed by the road and bridge team left a very deep impression on the leaders of the Guangdong Army. Although this made Zhang Da and Guo Taiping very embarrassed, but afterwards They also had to admit that they had lost completely.
There were two battles thereafter. One was when the entire Luqiao Group attacked the main position of the Third Company. Due to the difference in numbers, although the remaining personnel of the Third Company performed extremely bravely, they still could not escape the fate of being wiped out in the end. As for the other battle, it was the Third Company's own war. Only then did Zhang Dada realize that the previous civil engineering work of the road and bridge group was not to consolidate the position, but to bury booby traps. After our main position was captured, Guo Taiping, who was already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, had to try to hold on to the position of the road and bridge group. The result was good. Someone stepped on an explosive mine. As a result, a group of other members of the third company, including Guo Taiping, were "martyred." ", not even a chance to escape,
"In a war between two people, personal quality may play a decisive role, but in a war between two groups, the role of the leader will be the most important. This is how a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a group of lions led by a sheep. The reason is, one soldier is raging, and there are raging nests. Don't stare at me. I know you are very brave and have a good way of using soldiers, but do you know why you lost? First of all, you didn't try to understand your opponent. The truth is, this made you underestimate the enemy at the beginning of the war; secondly, you did not take the time to understand the terrain."
These words were Ouyang Yun's comments after the exercise. He only said half of what he said. The defeated general, Guo Taiping, who was covered in greasepaint, stared at him. He stared at Guo Taiping's eyes and said the next sentence. of,
Guo Taiping had already admitted defeat in his heart, but he refused to give in. He glanced at Wang Qiangbao and said, "Does he have a detailed understanding of the terrain?"
Ouyang Yun smiled and said to Wang Qiangbao: "Show it to him."
Wang Qiangbao nodded, took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Guo Taiping. On the note was a simplified map of the central area of the exercise.
Guo Taiping didn't know that this was drawn by Wang Qianbao himself after the war started, and he immediately shouted: "So you guys cheated."
Ouyang Yun and Wang Qianbao didn't realize it for a while, because map drawing seemed to be compulsory in the Xubing Army training tutorial. Therefore, as long as they are qualified Xubing Army soldiers, they can draw simple topographic maps even if they cannot read a single Chinese character. , Ouyang Yun: "How can I say this?"
Guo Taiping shook the note and said plausibly: "Didn't you give him this map?"
"Haha." Ouyang Yun laughed angrily,
Seeing this, Xiang Hanping quickly scolded: "Guo Taiping, don't go too far. Map drawing is a compulsory subject for the military academy. Not to mention officers like Wang Qianbao, even ordinary soldiers can draw such simple terrain maps." , you, really don’t be unconvinced.”
"Every soldier can draw a map." Zhang Da and others all looked disbelieving.
Ouyang Yun said: "Not every one, but more than 80%. Our army suffered heavy losses during the Second Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. In order to replenish front-line troops as quickly as possible, some soldiers did not undergo systematic training."
Ouyang Yun's statement is already very modest. Since the Xuebing Army settled in Renqiu, it has always attached great importance to the construction of reserve forces. It has maintained at least two regiments of officers and soldiers in training for a long time. In the later period of the Second Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, those who joined the front-line troops Reserve officers and soldiers have basically completed the prescribed training subjects, but have not yet participated in the unified assessment. In terms of military quality, they may still have shortcomings of one kind or another, but basically everyone can draw maps.
"Soldier, can you draw a map?" Li Hanhun walked up to a soldier from the Road and Bridge Group who had only one left arm and asked,
"Sir, yes." The soldier replied proudly: "During the professional subject assessment, my drawing score was 100%."
The soldier's confident expression made Li Hanhun believe Ouyang Yun's words, but after looking around at his former colleagues, he rolled his eyes and said, "Then can you draw the terrain here now?"
The soldier answered very professionally: "Without professional tools, I can only draw a rough one, and there will inevitably be errors in proportions."
Li Hanhun smiled: "It doesn't matter if the accuracy is a little different, the key is not to mislead others."
"I can guarantee this." After the soldier finished speaking, he took out a pen and paper from his body with one hand and started working on the spot.
Li Hanhun took the initiative to cause trouble for the one-armed soldier. It seemed that he wanted to make trouble with Ouyang Yun, but in fact he wanted to help him secretly. He wanted to take this opportunity to show the strength of the Xuebing Army to the big bosses of the Guangdong Army. , so that they can have a clear understanding of the current situation in Guangdong,
As a powerful force in the local separatist warlords during the Republic of China, the Guangdong Army had many big bosses with deep-rooted connections in the local area. Although Huang Guangrui, Yu Hanmou and other people who were pro-Nanjing government had been eliminated by Chen Jitang before the last attempted incident. Although most of the remaining people in the Guangdong Army did not deal with Chiang Kai-shek, they did not have a good impression of Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army. If these people were determined to fight Ouyang Yun, it would be really troublesome. things,
Among the Cantonese generals, Li Hanhun was a special type of person. Historically, he had no obvious factional tendencies throughout his life, and he was quite active in the anti-Japanese cause. From the beginning, he was listed as one that could be fought for by Ouyang Yun. object,
Before this exercise, Ouyang Yun had had a private contact with him and wanted to ask him to help integrate the team as soon as possible. Li Hanhun did not give a clear answer at the time. After this exercise, Xu Shi saw the Xue Bing Army With strong combat power, his stance has changed,
Regardless of whether Ouyang Yun felt it or not, Li Hanhun was already contributing to the integration of the Xuebing Army and the Guangdong Army. As he expected, when the one-armed soldier of the Road and Bridge Group placed a very detailed map in front of everyone, Except for Zhang Da, everyone else's eyes couldn't help but change when they looked at the Luqiao Group soldiers and Ouyang Yun.
In the dialogue between soldiers, strength is the most important thing. Let alone the bonus points brought by the Wei Qing series and the Qubing series firearms. The performance of the Luqiao group alone today has already made the Guangdong army bosses look at the Xuebing army with admiration. , Now, an ordinary soldier who can only be regarded as a logistics force has shown such a high military quality. What does this mean? They have to rethink their position.
There are only two roads before the leaders of the Guangdong Army. Ouyang Yunqie outlined the general direction. Whether to make a fortune together or establish a powerful enemy, or even destroy themselves because of it. Those who understand the current affairs have their own clear choices.
