The cadet army has developed a bad habit since its establishment. This habit, in the eyes of other jealous friendly armies, is only for the nouveau riche. The cadets never seem to worry about insufficient ammunition. In battles, they always like to spray bullets as much as possible. Therefore, some people say that the reason why the Xuebing Army was able to win more and lose less in the battle against Japan is because they have ample ammunition. Some even say: If I were given the same treatment , my team can also achieve such results,
With all the factions across the country fighting against Japan almost in a one-sided manner, the Xuebing Army's performance was truly outstanding, so it seemed reasonable to attract some criticism.
This strange argument reached Ouyang Yun's ears. It is said that Ouyang Yun's answer at that time was so angry that he almost vomited blood after hearing it. The young man was too arrogant. Humility is a virtue of the Chinese people. Could it be that because he came back from the United States, he has forgotten this virtue passed down by his ancestors?
Ouyang Yun's answer was really a bit irritating. He laughed wildly at first: Haha, and then said: No matter what they say, my team just has enough ammunition. What's wrong, brothers, it's so awesome, just 10,000 rounds of ammunition for one Japanese soldier. I also think the heads are worth it. I can’t help it. We don’t have any other military training. There is never any shortage of ammunition.
What Ouyang Yun said is a bit inconsistent with his current status. After all, he is a high-ranking official and an influential figure in China. How can he act so superficially?
However, he knew his own affairs well, and the reason why he did this was actually a last resort. After all, the Xuebing Army was a local army. The narrow geographical area destined to make it difficult to recruit soldiers, so every soldier was precious and should not be given up easily. Compared with Japan, which has been strengthening its military for more than two hundred years, the Xuebing Army wants to build an army comparable to it in just a few years. It is basically impossible to surpass it based on the pure quality of its soldiers. , perhaps, it is not difficult to simply form a few thousand elite troops, such as Langya and Fox Tong, with the current strength of the Xuebing Army, but if you want to form tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops of this level, , Ouyang Yun sighed to himself, since there is no way to surpass the quality of soldiers, then supplement it in other aspects. Science and technology, sufficient ammunition, these have become the must rely on for the student army to fight against the Japanese army. Use ammunition to In exchange for the lives of soldiers, no matter what the starting point is, in Ouyang Yun's opinion, it is worth it.
Most of the officers and soldiers who came out of the Xuebing Army have no concept of saving ammunition. Once a war breaks out, it is really impressive as Ouyang Yun said. This makes up for the lack of quality of soldiers to a certain extent. Weak, Zhang Yishu was born in a serious student army, so it was inevitable that he would fall into such bad habits. Under his command, the soldiers of the third regiment sprayed bullets like raindrops, immediately reducing the momentum of the Japanese offensive. completely contained,
His brave Majesty the Emperor's warriors actually collapsed. This made Matsushita Kihide angry and at the same time made him begin to re-examine the current situation.
At this time, Matsushita Kihide's incompetence in military affairs was revealed. This guy who prefers to talk on paper was not thinking about how to figure out the real situation on the battlefield and make correct judgments based on it. He actually because The Third Regiment suddenly showed superiority in firepower. They believed that the intelligence detected by the reconnaissance plane in the evening was problematic. They believed that this might be a trap set by the Chinese. They encountered an ambush set by the superior enemy forces. Therefore, they were scolding After dealing with his incompetent subordinates, he began to think about his future. What he was thinking about at this moment was no longer how to complete the victory in one battle, but to seek no merit but no fault. Once a commander faces the enemy on the battlefield, Wrong judgment due to the situation will have extremely bad consequences. Matsushita Kihide has made this mistake now. He was confused by the illusion of the Third Regiment and did not continue to exert force, thus dragging this war into chaos. deadlock,
Because at this time, Inoue Lanji, who had a chance to escape, used the radio he brought out to send electricity to the regiment, saying that he had been ambushed by superior enemy forces and that his artillery had been captured. He asked for the support of the regiment commander, Your Excellency.
This telegram was like a bolt of lightning, immediately killing Matsushita Kihide. The Inoue brigade also encountered a superior enemy force, and even a brigade and a half of infantry could not defend it. So, how many enemies appeared there, considering the imperial army The quality of the Chinese army cannot be easily won without more than three times the strength. If there are about three regiments of the Chinese army there, then what is going on here? Could it be said that the Chinese people have given up on the southeastern front and will all The troops have all been transferred here. Thinking of this, Matsushita Muhide is in a dilemma. For the first time, he feels that it is really difficult to be the captain of the regiment. Instead of this, he would be better off as a military attache in the Governor's Mansion.
In order to give the brothers more time to assemble and rest, so that they could have the physical strength to escape from the Japanese pursuit, Zhang Yishu was already prepared to make some sacrifices, but the development of the battle situation was beyond his expectations. Unexpectedly, Lu Daquan's charge, coupled with his carefully designed burst of firepower, not only immediately curbed the Japanese offensive momentum, but also caused the Japanese army to collapse to a certain extent. This is really incredible. ,
"Strange, the performance of this Japs is a bit abnormal." Zhang Yishu thought, and couldn't help but began to wonder if the intelligence obtained by the Corps in the early stage was wrong. This Japs was not the so-called elite Japanese army at all, but just an ordinary reserve force. Troops, he did not expect that this was because the elite Japanese army had a commander with diarrhea. He was so quick-thinking that he actually thought of taking advantage of the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.
A flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a group of lions led by a sheep. This principle is vividly shown in the "Battle of Fish Pond". When Matsushita Kihide lost sight of one thing and lost another, the result of this battle was actually already decided. It's doomed,
Zhang Yishu is a decisive person. He immediately asked the communications staff to send a message to the division headquarters, informing them that he had successfully ambushed the Japanese army in "Yuchi" and had gained an advantage. He asked them to immediately rush in the direction of "Xiaowokan" to try to capture the Japanese army. The devil completely ate it,
The ambush place of one regiment was only five kilometers away from the Nantou Military Camp and twelve kilometers away from the "Fish Pond". The reason why Zhang Zhengyong chose to ambush at this place was very clear. He was worried that the previous regiments would not be able to hold on, so he chose to ambush at this most critical moment. Hit the little devil hard, thereby minimizing the losses of the entire army.
Zhang Zhengyong's division headquarters was moving with the First Regiment. After receiving the telegram, Zhang Zhengyong thought about it for a short time and then decided to follow Zhang Yishu's suggestion. The soldiers of the First Regiment had been in the ambush position for several hours. Although it is still early before the predicted start time of the war, many soldiers are already looking forward to the stars and the moon to the point of almost getting lovesick. The soldiers heard that they have to rush to the front to avoid the enemy's retreat and strive to completely wipe out this Japanese army. There was no need to wait any longer. Instead of rushing because of the urgent march, everyone was so excited that they gathered together as quickly as possible and then marched towards Xiaowokan along a mountain road that was not on the map.
About a quarter of an hour after the troops left, Lin Xiaoyu's telegram arrived, saying that they had captured all the artillery of the Japanese artillery brigade and were now preparing to take a detour back to the assembly area. They requested the division headquarters to send out supporting troops as appropriate.
After Zhang Zhengyong read the telegram, he first scolded him harshly: "Nonsense." Then he laughed and scolded: "Lin Xiaoyu is so stupid, he is too courageous."
Lin Xiaoyu's telegram came in time. Considering that it would take much more time to bypass the "fish pond" and insert himself into the "little liekan", Zhang Zhengyong changed his strategy and first sent a message to Lin Xiaoyu to set up defenses on the spot and prepare for an ambush again. , and at the same time ordered the troops to change their route and turn towards the "fish pond" to pounce,
Originally, if there were only one regiment and three regiments, Zhang Zhengyong did not think that he could really defeat the Panasonic Regiment. But now, with the addition of the second regiment and the captured artillery, he really took a look. He went to think about what to do with the Panasonic United, "His grandma, I didn't expect this Japs to be so fierce. If I had known this, I should have put a big bag in it." Zhang Zhengyong thought so, and said to I was a little dissatisfied with my previous somewhat conservative conductor.
Zhang Yishu led his troops to counterattack towards the Japanese army. Xie Changan and others who were resting behind saw it and were shocked when they saw it: "What do the guys from the Third Regiment want to do?"
At this moment, Zhang Yishu's orderly ran over and shouted from afar: "Xie Commander, our commander led the counterattack. He asked me to bring you a message. If there are any brothers from the fourth regiment, If you have the strength, then let’s fight the Japanese together.”
Facts have proved that Xie Changan's pre-war mobilization was very successful. Although the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment ran all over the mountains and fields during the retreat, they did not take the opportunity to become deserters. They followed Xie Changan's orders and herded sheep all over the mountains and fields. I started looking for the regiment headquarters, and then, after experiencing the horror of "Xiaowokan", I finally found the organization in "Yuchi".
Soldiers from the Fourth Regiment came to report to Xie Changan one after another. In just twenty minutes, about 300 people gathered around Xie Changan. Considering that they were completely dispersed during the retreat, and they missed the "small Xie Changan was very satisfied that so many people could return to "Wokan", the agreed gathering place, in such a short period of time.
Zhang Yishu's orderlies are a bit bad. Of course, maybe this was Zhang Yishu's idea. He shouted with his mouth wide open. Even if Xie Changan had the intention to follow the instructions of the master, the soldiers under his command were aroused and couldn't help it. Ken lost face in front of his brothers in other regiments,
"I have a lot of strength."
"Tuanzuo, the little devil drove us into such a miserable state just now. We must get it back."
…
The soldiers of the Fourth Regiment were excited and shouted. After Xie Changan climbed up to inspect the situation on the battlefield, he immediately ordered: "Brothers, the brothers of the Third Regiment are heroes, and so are the soldiers of our Fourth Regiment. If you're not a coward, come on and follow me to kill the Japanese."
"Kill." The soldiers of the fourth regiment shouted in unison, and immediately followed the third regiment and rushed into the battlefield.
(I haven’t gotten over my cold since I came back from Beijing. I’m depressed. Winter is really terrible. In these cold days, I can only do my best to ensure that I update it every day.)
