Chapter 91 The combat power of the standing division
Since the leader of Renerxiong has asked about his purpose, Zhang Tianhai can't say that he is here to play, right?
Zhang Tianhai straightened his face and said, "Old sir, I have no other intentions when I come here this time. In addition to visiting you, I also want to learn about the situation of the enemy in your regiment fighting face to face."
"Oh? Why did you suddenly care about this coming?" Xiong Xinmin asked with confusion.
Zhang Tianhai smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "Old sir, I won't hide it from you. The Japanese army in front of us have strong combat power and strong fighting will. With the arrival of Japanese reinforcements this time, the Battle of Songhu will not end so soon, so I am here to prepare in advance."
"Oh, prepare in advance?" Xiong Xinmin looked at Zhang Tianhai with a meaningful look, as if he was guessing what medicine was selling in his gourd?
Zhang Tianhai nodded and said, "The division headquarters' intention to switch the defense zones of our 216th Regiment and 215th Regiment is my opinion. I believe you understand it if you don't say it, right?"
Xiong Xinmin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's talk first."
Zhang Tianhai's wry smile on his face became even stronger: "Old sir, you have been in our 216th Regiment for a lot of time, right? You are also familiar with our 216th Regiment, right? So the division headquarters should have transferred our regiment here for the sake of combat cooperation."
Xiong Xinmin opened his eyes that were red due to insomnia and said, "I have guessed this. You should just say hello this time, right?"
"It's really impossible to hide anything from the old commander's eyes." Zhang Tianhai said he hesitate. He came here just to say hello. As for being familiar with the battlefield, that's a matter of by the way.
Why did it mean it was by the way? The Battle of Songhu lasted for three months, and the 212th Regiment guarded Jiangwan Town for three months.
Jiangwan Town is not far from the sea. If it were peacetime, the housing prices here would definitely be high. After all, this place is barely a good place to "face the sea, with spring flowers blooming."
It is close to the sea, so it is much more convenient to fish and other things in normal times, but it is not good during war times because the Japanese naval guns can be bombarded here!
Under the bombing of the enemy's navy, army, air and artillery fire, it changed a lot every day, and that's probably possible.
At present, the main force of the Japanese army has not yet been concentrated in Jiangwan, but in Luodian. Most of the naval aviation and ship bombings have hit Wusongkou, Lion Forest, and Baoshan County.
In Liuhe, Wusongkou, and Baoshan areas, Matsui Ishigen placed the entire 11th Division there, and the goal of the Third Division was to open the gate of the city and restrain the main force of the National Army.
Although the Japanese army was very strict, it did not affect Zhang Tianhai's general operation information.
The reason is nothing else. Zhang Tianhai’s information comes from later generations!
I still remember that at that time, in the Military Academy class, the teacher explained the content of the Battle of Shanghai in detail, including the general deployment of the Japanese army, etc.
But knowing, it’s just knowing, what’s the use? Zhang Tianhai is just a small battalion commander, not a senior officer in the Army Command!
He could not participate in the formulation of combat plans and could not obtain first-hand information on the battlefield.
The battlefield is changing rapidly. Zhang Tianhai knew that since his little butterfly came to this era, the original history has undergone a slight deviation.
According to the powerful inertia of history and the possible "self-treatment", Zhang Tianhai, the little mantis who attempted to block the car, would crush Zhang Tianhai at any time!
Don’t forget that the Japanese army’s standing division has nearly 30,000 troops. In addition, the special forces added to this landing operation have exceeded 30,000!
How many Chinese troops are there in a division? It is only a little over 10,000. In other words, the Japanese army’s reinforcements this time are equivalent to two armies organized by China, and they are also armies organized by three divisions!
What is a conspiracy? It means that you know what the other party wants to do, but you are powerless - in front of all absolute power, all conspiracies are clowns!
For Zhang Tianhai, who is on the weak side, this taste is definitely not good.
Xiong Xinmin smiled and said, "Okay. You can't hide your little thoughts from me. After all, I am also your old commander. This time, the enemy's front-line battle will be very tenacious, which is even better than those of the Marines."
"What? These devils are more difficult to deal with than their Marines?" Zhang Tianhai was a little surprised. This was different from what he imagined. Isn't the navy rich? Isn't it said that sharpshooters are fed with bullets?
"Yes. We were killed in one battalion and two of us." Xiong Xinmin's face was not a joke.
It was Zhang Tianhai's turn to remain silent now. It seems that the situation is not optimistic this time...
This time, we were on the risk and defended, and the equipment was not too bad. It was completely different from the situation two days ago: at that time, I attacked the enemy and defended, and now the enemy attacked me.
Under the conditions of fortification, the garrison usually has an advantage. At this time, if the garrison has favorable geographical conditions, the casualties are no less than when the garrison is attacking. The opponent's combat power can be imagined.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai realized that although the Navy's equipment is good, it focuses on landing operations, and most of the training time is spent on the sea; but the army is different, they make a living by relying on this skill!
Moreover, it was a regular division in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, rather than the second-rate and third-rate divisions in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War. The combat power of these regular divisions is not very strong.
Looking at the expression on Zhang Tianhai's face, Xiong Xinmin had roughly guessed what he was thinking. The latter smiled and said, "How can one not sacrifice in war? Besides, this Japanese devil bullies me and the Republic of China are getting worse. Most of the years we have been fighting civil wars. If we don't die on the civil war battlefield, it is also the honor of soldiers to be able to leave one's life on the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war."
Indeed, China's military power has been consumed too much in the civil war, and Xiong Xinmin was just inspired.
"It would have been great if the gun could be consistent with the outside world earlier." Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhai also sighed softly.
"Why did Yulin say this? You are also an old man from Huangpu. Why can't you understand some things? To say something heart-wrenching, if our Central Army hadn't defeated their Northwest Army, could Chief Feng be able to command the troops to fight with peace of mind for the Party and the State?" Xiong Xinmin said with a sneer, with a look of disdain.
