Chapter 962: Fighting a modern war (please subscribe!)
Modern warfare air strikes
In Liu Hua's words, this decisive battle at Yushan will be the last war faced by the entire southern battlefield of China. As time goes by, a large amount of modern equipment continues to equip the troops. The war pattern that the troops will face
, that is, the new modern warfare has unknowingly come to the Chinese ** Corps, and the Chinese ** Corps needs to adapt to it quickly and understand it.
The 200,000 elite Kwantung Army troops stationed in the Yushan area were the touchstone Liu Hua used to train his troops to truly adapt to modern warfare.
Seeing Liu Hua's bold idea in front of him, it can be called a ground-breaking bold idea. The facial expressions of the Commander-in-Chief and Zuo Quan could already be described as exaggerated.
Although, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Zhu De is also very yearning for various new tactics, especially the modern warfare that has gradually matured in Western countries, and hopes that his troops will be as familiar with this kind of tactics as possible to avoid falling behind.
The era is constantly advancing. However, when I heard that Liu Hua in front of me actually wanted to use the entire East China Field Army, almost 500,000 troops, for training and testing, I still couldn't help but hesitate.
"Comrade Liu Hua, is this price too high? The two hundred thousand Kwantung Army, under the current circumstances, are not a bunch of lambs to be slaughtered. If one person is not good, the troops you use for training will suffer heavy losses.
, in that case, wouldn’t the gain outweigh the loss..." the commander-in-chief persuaded with a frown.
"Yes, Commander, isn't this too risky..." Chief of Staff Zuo Quan persuaded with the same hesitation.
Seeing the two strategists in front of him who have outstanding military commanding abilities on the Chinese battlefield, they still do not know much about the increasingly mature modern warfare models of Western countries. Liu Hua nodded noncommittally, and then
, said with great certainty.
"Boss, Chief of Staff. This is not an exaggeration by me, Liu Hua. I can only tell you that the real power of modern warfare is not as simple as we think. Here I assure you that during this training, I
The casualties of the troops must be kept to a minimum. If the casualties of the troops exceed 50,000, I will immediately order the troops to stop the attack, stick to our original tactics, and encircle rather than attack..."
Seeing the insistent Liu Hua in front of him, and then thinking about Liu Hua's current identity as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy. Although the commander-in-chief was still a little hesitant in his heart. However, out of his belief in Liu Hua and Liu Hua's solemn assurance just now
.It took less than five seconds of contemplation to make the final decision.
"Comrade Liu Hua, it's the same sentence that I repeated many times. You are the commander-in-chief of our former enemy. You have the final decision-making power for the entire campaign, so I agree with your decision..."
With the approval of the Commander-in-Chief, Liu Hua seemed to be able to move troops with ease... Army units that had just been re-equipped, including several tank regiments and armored regiments that had just been formed by the East China Field Army
, all marching towards Yushan, the location of the decisive battle, amid the rumble of the engines...
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. The two hundred thousand Kwantung Army, relying on their rich combat experience, quickly built a solid military fortress with Yushan as the center. The East China Field Army also under the orders of the former enemy headquarters,
Around the entire Yushan Mountain, almost all of their main forces, totaling 400,000 elites, were assembled.
The East China Field Army position is less than one kilometer away from the forward position of the Japanese 63rd Division. The 136th Regiment, which has repeatedly made military exploits in previous battles and has been listed as the first-class main regiment of the entire army, has become a member of the Chinese Army.
The first batch of army units to be redressed.
After this change of equipment, the total strength of the regiment has reached an astonishing 3,500 people, including three combat battalions, an artillery battalion, an engineering company, a guard company, a logistics company, and a vehicle transport company.
, a communications platoon.
The artillery battalion includes a field artillery company, a mountain artillery company, and a heavy mortar company, with a total of 24 large and small caliber artillery pieces.
The security company directly under the regiment headquarters is equipped with nine light machine guns modified by the arsenal, and the remaining personnel are all equipped with Qingyishui submachine guns. In terms of firepower density alone, it is enough to be equivalent to a standard infantry brigade of the Japanese army.
Let's look at the three combat battalions. Each infantry battalion has three infantry companies, a mortar company, a guard platoon, a baggage platoon, and a communications squad.
There are three infantry companies, each of which has three infantry platoons, one heavy machine gun platoon, and one guard squad.
Each infantry platoon has three infantry squads, a grenade squad, and a rocket launcher team, including three grenade launchers and one rocket launcher.
Each infantry squad has twelve people and is equipped with one improved light machine gun, two submachine guns, and eight semi-automatic rifles.
Seeing the new infantry regiment with a brand new look and almost reaching its limit of firepower, the regiment leader's face was smiling almost even when he was sleeping.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you take care of your own troops? When the time comes to attack, I will shoot whichever company loses control..." Seeing a group of battalion and company commanders behind him with the same smiles on their faces, the regimental commander
He cursed angrily.
However, just as he finished speaking, the excited voice of the regimental communications platoon leader reached everyone's ears.
"***, after waiting for such a long time, I finally got the order. Read..." The excited leader couldn't help but uttered a curse word and said with excitement.
"Yes, commander... The division headquarters ordered that in half an hour, an attack will be launched on the current Japanese position. The battle must be ended within half an hour and the enemy position must be occupied. In addition, during the attack, the headquarters will deploy three bombers and
A battalion of heavy artillery supports us..." the communications platoon leader replied.
"There is actually support from the air force and heavy artillery. It's launched. This time I have to show off in front of the little devils. Pass the order and the whole regiment is ready for battle. In this attack, the first battalion will be the main attacker, two and three.
One battalion will cover the flanks of the attack. The artillery battalion will provide artillery support to the infantry. The remaining troops will serve as reserves and be ready to launch an attack at any time. Are you clear?" the wealthy regiment leader ordered with a confident look.
"Clear…."
Seeing the subordinates with high morale and eagerness to try in front of them, the regiment leader continued to yell: "When you get it clear, go down and prepare. Remember it all. This is the first battle since we changed our uniforms. You must give it to me."
Fight well. Show our brother troops what modern warfare is. Our regiment has lived up to the commander-in-chief's trust and has not wasted the month-long new military training."
"Yes, leader..."
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye as all the subordinates were anxiously waiting. Just as everyone was gearing up, holding onto their weapons tightly, and waiting for the order to attack, three huge engine roars were heard on the battlefield.
In the ears of everyone on both sides.
"Buzz buzz... The plane is a bomber, our bomber is coming..." As the roar of the aircraft engine became louder and louder, the huge figures of three American bombers were clearly visible above everyone's heads.
For a moment, the entire position immediately remembered the deafening screams of the soldiers...
On the Japanese position less than one kilometer away from the position, seeing the arrival of three bombers, the position that was silent just now fell into chaos. Groups of soldiers, amidst the shouts and curses of their respective commanders, were like a group of soldiers.
Like a frightened duck, he quickly ran towards the nearest bomb-proof hole...
However, no matter how fast their reaction speed was, it could not be faster than the speed of the aircraft. When an infantry brigade, more than a thousand elite Japs, and half of them were still exposed on the surface, a series of sharp whistling sounds were already heard.
rang in the air.
Heavy aerial bombs fell one after another on what seemed to be a very solid position of the Japanese army, as if they were free of charge.
You know, before the war, in order to truly unleash the true firepower of the Air Force, Liu Hua used half of the aerial bomb reserves transported back from Myanmar. It can be said that if all these bombs were still in Yushan, it would be enough to
The height of this Yushan mountain has been reduced by several meters.
"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of deafening explosions rang out on the Japanese army's positions. The logs and boulders used by the Japanese army to reinforce their positions were like toys in the face of hundreds of kilograms of potent gunpowder, and were easily thrown onto the ground.
Ten meters in the air.
Of course, among the logs and boulders that looked like flowers scattered by a goddess, the little Japanese who had not yet had time to rush into the bomb shelter were also thrown high into the air. Not only that, one after another, limp corpses,
As soon as he was thrown into the sky, he was torn into pieces by the huge air waves, and his body was reduced to nothing...
Round after round, shells one after another, continued to create one bloody storm after another on the Japanese positions. The trenches reinforced by logs and boulders were like paper, and were easily razed to the ground. One by one
The machine gun bunker, covered with a thick layer of soil and not reinforced by cement, had no resistance at all in the face of heavy aerial bombs. Together with the light and heavy machine guns and Japanese soldiers inside, they came directly to a center and were torn into pieces...
…
In the blink of an eye, dozens of aerial bombs carried by three American bombers fell on this Japanese position that stretched no more than a kilometer...
"***, what kind of bombs are these? They are so powerful. Once a bomb goes down, all the Japanese machine gun bunkers will disappear... Oh my god, our air force is so powerful..." Through the telescope, I saw the Japanese army.
The bloody scene on the position saw the trenches that were intertwined just a moment ago being razed to the ground in the blink of an eye. Every commander of the East China Field Army had a look of shock on their face...
