218 A duel between a company and a brigade (Part 1)
Although he was a little uncomfortable with the identity of the little devil, after all, it was just a military simulation confrontation. The monk reluctantly nodded and agreed.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Commander Dayong, don't be so sad. You have the absolute upper hand now. Now let's analyze the strength comparison between the two sides."
The monk nodded and said: "In terms of military strength, the Japanese brigade must have at least five or six hundred people. The full Japanese brigade may even have more than a thousand people. If the Japanese brigade faces the guard company, it will definitely occupy an absolute strength.
Advantages."
"In terms of firepower configuration, the Japs must have a lot of machine guns and artillery, and the ammunition is absolutely sufficient. Our guard company, even if it is actually a pistol company, is equipped with one pistol per man, plus one light machine gun for each squad, so the firepower is also
Definitely not as good as the Little Japs. If combat effectiveness is included, even though the guard company is the elite of our independent regiment, the Little Japs’ military qualities are equally formidable and no worse than ours."
"Captain, if you compare it like this, even if you personally command, I think this battle will not be fought!"
Kong Jie laughed and scolded: "Monk, you kid can't use your brain? This military operation pays attention to goals, just like the classification of operations includes ambush warfare, positional warfare, and encounter warfare.
The same principle applies to military objectives. It may be to completely annihilate the opponent, or to severely damage the opponent, or it may just be to block and delay the opponent.
If my security company wanted to directly eat your Japanese brigade, it would be very difficult.
But the goal of my guard company is to hold back your Japanese brigade, hold on until our reinforcements arrive, and then join forces with the reinforcements to destroy your Japanese army."
"Okay, monk, this military simulation confrontation has officially begun, and the terrain it relies on is the surrounding terrain."
"You know the situation of the guard company, but the difference is that I will strengthen the guard company with two heavy machine guns. In addition, these two light and heavy machine guns will be transported through a wheelbarrow trailer made by the repair shop. The mobility is guaranteed.
of."
"Ammunition will also be well prepared, at least to ensure that the guard company can continue to fight for more than several hours."
"As for the situation of the Japanese brigade, I will set it this way for the time being. As you said, the strength is around five or six hundred people. But what I have to tell you is that this Japanese brigade is the absolute elite of the Japanese army."
"It has two infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, a mountain artillery squadron, and an engineer squadron, plus a heavy supply squadron, a field medical squadron, and a headquarters squadron."
"In terms of firepower configuration, just from the establishment of this Japanese brigade, I think you can guess that it is absolutely powerful."
"Except for specific combatants, everyone basically has one rifle. The number of crooked light machine guns is about 30 to 40, the number of heavy machine guns is about 10 to 15, and the number of grenades is about 30.
On the left and right, there are Type 90 mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, a total of about ten, including three to four Type 92 infantry guns."
"The above inference is that because this Japanese brigade may go deep alone, if the firepower is particularly strengthened, I speculate that the number of guns and artillery will increase."
As Kong Jie spoke, the monk on the side was already dumbfounded: "Captain, he is just a brigade of Japanese soldiers. This is too scary. I'd better just admit defeat."
Kong Jie couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Did you have your identity reversed? Now I am the commander of the guard company, and you are the commander of this Japanese brigade with a very powerful firepower."
The monk suddenly said: "Hey, leader, you're welcome, let's start a fight!"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Okay, suppose today, Lieutenant Colonel Dayong, you lead your Japanese brigade all the way to the hinterland of our Eighth Route Army base."
"Originally, our security company could immediately notify the headquarters and wait for the headquarters to send troops to eliminate your Japanese army."
"But the location where you little devils appear is not very good. If you are allowed to run around, it is very likely that it will affect the arsenal and field hospitals in the hinterland of our Eighth Route Army and other important military locations."
"I can only choose to take action, lay mines on the road you must take, and then use a platoon of troops to launch a long-range surprise attack on you with grenade firepower. After the surprise attack is successful, I will retreat immediately."
"Monk, think about it, if you were the commander of this Japanese army and were suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army, what would you do next?"
The monk said without hesitation: "Then we must start a fight. I know the temper of the little devil. If you want to sneak attack on him, he will definitely destroy you."
Kong Jie said: "Next, I will arrange half a company of troops to deal with you and try to avoid your long-range artillery attack. As for the ultimate goal, can you see the hills not far away? That is Lijiapo, right there.
."
The monk said: "Captain, do you mean that you want to lead the guard company to guard Lijia Slope?"
Kong Jie said: "This is the best way. I don't know if you have noticed that the terrain of Lijiapo is strange. There is a cliff to the north and steep slopes to the east and west. The troops cannot go up at all. There is only a gentle slope to the south. That is
The only way up to Lijiapo, and the way is narrow, no matter how many troops you send to attack, you can only attack with one or two hundred people."
"If my security company wants to hold back your Japanese army, Li Jiapo is my best choice."
The monk said: "After all, this is the territory of our Eighth Route Army. As soon as the gunfire is fired, the headquarters will receive the news soon. Commander, you are holding me back because you want to wait until the main force of our Eighth Route Army arrives and annihilate this place."
A Japanese brigade."
"Not bad!" Kong Jie said, "Then what are you going to do?"
The monk thought for a while and replied: "If this devil commander is really me, I will definitely command the retreat. If we don't retreat now, you, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, will be the one to make dumplings."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Then you are wrong. The Japanese are so self-righteous and arrogant that they will not be allowed to retreat easily."
"Also, do you think that if a Japanese army group goes deep alone and appears here, the little Japanese really have no backup plan?"
"Captain, what do you mean..."
Kong Jie said: "In the Battle of Shotai not long ago, the Japs suffered a lot of casualties and suffered even more heavy losses. They have long held a grudge."
"If the Japs send troops deep into our base, they must be well prepared. The Japs are a bit arrogant. Sometimes these guys are crazy gamblers, and their tactics are quite bold."
"For example, in large-scale battles on the frontal battlefield, the little devils dared to use small groups of troops to attach cavalry, artillery and other units to form mixed reinforcement groups, and then carried out roundabout combat missions quite wildly. They were even bold enough to directly use three or five troops to
An elite brigade of a hundred people, or even a squadron, can directly attack the main force of the national army from the flanks, or they can hold tight and use machine guns and artillery to block the retreat of the main force of the national army."
The monk agreed: "Captain, I have experience with this. When I was still in the Central Army, during the Battle of Xinkou, the Japs adopted the tactic of flanking raids. There were only a few hundred Japs at that time, but our commander here
I judged that the Japanese's roundabout must be supported by the main force in the rear, and they wanted to surround our army in one fell swoop. In the end, they did not dare to fight and chose to retreat. Then the main force lost the opportunity to fight and was defeated again and again."<
/p>
Kong Jie said: "This is exactly the reason. Therefore, instead of retreating because the main force of the Eighth Route Army is about to be encircled, your Commander-in-Chief Dayong will continue to attack because it will attract and contain more of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. This is your team.
The fundamental purpose of the Japanese army brigade."
"Captain, I seem to understand. What you mean is that the little devils also want to use this brigade to hold back our main force, and then they will send reinforcements to wipe out our main force in one fell swoop?"
"Your mind works really fast."
"Hey, commander, this is similar to how you command the security company to contain my Japanese brigade. Everyone is waiting for the main force to come over and destroy the other side! Interesting."
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Then do you know what the key is now?"
The monk nodded. During this period of time, all the commanders of the regiment, Kong Jie, did not avoid the monk. In addition, the study class and the tactical analysis class, the monk never fell behind.
In addition, Kong Jie deliberately cultivated the monk's commanding ability. Even if he was influenced by it, the monk today has made great progress.
Kong Jie used the system to check this point, and the monk's personal tactical attribute value has increased by more than ten points.
Having passed the passing mark, this is already considered very good.
Close to when Kong Jie first arrived.
The monk said: "Captain, this is a good analysis. The key question now is whether our Eighth Route Army can kill this Japanese brigade before the Japanese reinforcements arrive."
Kong Jie smiled: "That's right. This is indeed the key point. Come on, let's continue the simulated confrontation."
"Yes!" the monk responded and said: "Commander, your guard company has hid on Lijia Slope. I have chased you with my troops and have blocked you on Lijia Slope. You have no place to run.
