This is a narrow dirt road that can only accommodate two cars parallel. Due to the long disrepair of this road, the road is full of large and small potholes. In addition, it has entered winter and it has not rained for more than a month.
It rained, so the floating soil on the road accumulated very thickly, and often a lot of dust would be splashed when you step on it.
At this time, Li Chenzhe and several officers were walking on this road with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Although Jiangxi is located in the Jiangnan region, the weather began to get cold after December. Li Chenzhe and others not only put on their military uniforms,
In addition to the issued military coats, they also wore green sweaters and cowhide boots on their feet. It was very difficult for everyone to walk on this road full of loose soil.
The commander of the 1st Armored Regiment, Wang Zhi, was following Li Chenzhe with a bitter look on his face. He complained: "Master, this road is too dilapidated. It is full of pits. If there is a fight, wait for our tanks."
When launching a charge, the speed will definitely be affected. Not to mention, once the battle is over, all our tanks will definitely need to be overhauled."
Li Chenzhe turned back and glared at him and cursed: "Don't you boy complain about it? I know what you mean. Isn't it because you think there are too few maintenance personnel? But what can I do? It's not like you don't know our situation. Our army has just expanded.
, We have a weak foundation. Those soldiers have just learned to drive tanks and fight, and naturally they are not very proficient in mechanical maintenance. But who made us armored soldiers? If you are not satisfied, just send a transfer report and I will approve it immediately.
What do you think about transferring you to an ordinary infantry unit?"
"No, no, no, no... you must not! I was just joking, and I have no intention of going back to be an infantryman." Wang Zhi moved his hands like wheels. He, the commander of the armored regiment, had a hard time.
He worked his way up, so many people usually envied him, but now if he was transferred back to an ordinary infantry unit, he would still be laughed to death.
Li Chenzhe laughed and scolded him a few words, and then sighed. He looked majestic as the commander of the armored division. When the armored group charged, it was also rampant, but who knew his difficulties. The armored division had a myriad of jobs.
It is more complicated than an ordinary infantry division. The military commander of an ordinary infantry division only worries about the training and combat of the troops, but the armored division is different. The armored troops are technical arms, and technical arms require professional personnel to drive them.
, but it is generally known that 99% of the people in China today are illiterate, and their education level is appallingly low. The first physically qualified and educated recruits recruited by the army are picked up by the air force. Only the rest are
It was their turn for the armored divisions.
Although the structure of the T-34 tank is simple and easy to operate, no matter how simple a tank is, it is still not a tank. No matter how simple it is, it must be assembled from hundreds or thousands of parts. Since it is a machine, it will naturally have problems.
, if there is a problem, it must be repaired, but in today's army, there are as few as a handful of technicians who specialize in repairing tanks. Naturally, just relying on a few technicians cannot meet the needs of hundreds of tanks in the entire division, so we can only
It is for each tank driver to do it himself, so the difficulty of repairing the tank will naturally increase exponentially. This is why Wang Zhi complained so much when he saw this broken road just now. After a big battle, the troops were
When you are tired, you still have to maintain the tank. This is not ordinary fatigue.
However, Li Chenzhe was not a person who was easily knocked down by difficulties. He turned around and looked at everyone and said earnestly: "Please remember, these tanks were obtained for us by Commander Su with great hard work. All of us work hard every day."
The cost of just activating a tank is thousands of dollars. Every time our entire division spends tens of thousands of dollars on training, where does this money come from? It is all saved by the hard work of the common people.
, they sold the last old hen that laid eggs at home, and sold the last coffin to buy planes, tanks and artillery for us.
But what about you? Is this how we repay our fellow villagers? When we encounter some difficulties, we complain endlessly. Now that we are better, we don’t even want to do the work of repairing tanks. I tell you, if anyone doesn’t want to do it, get out of here as soon as possible.
I don’t have these lazy guys in my army, and the soldiers are not even afraid of death, how can I still be afraid of this little trouble?”
Seeing the furious Li Chenzhe, everyone was silent and did not dare to bite. Finally, Wang Zhicai lowered his head and whispered: "Sir, I... I was wrong, I shouldn't have complained, and I won't do it again next time.
.”
Looking at Wang Zhi who was hanging his head silently, Li Chenzhe's expression softened and he said kindly: "It's good that you know you were wrong. Commander Su handed over this unit to me. I want to be worthy of this kindness. Let's
It is natural for soldiers to fight against the Japanese. The last time we fought against the 92nd Division in Spider Ridge, our 1st Armored Division was still training in Xinfeng County. We missed the trip and let the 92nd Division run away.
Since we encountered them last time, we can't let them go anymore, so everyone has to work hard this time, we have to try to put the Ninety-second Division in one fell swoop, and don't let them run away again, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Everyone behind him responded in unison.
"Well, well, let's figure it all out and figure out how to fight this battle." Li Chenzhe said as he walked to the roadside and squatted down. He picked up a dead branch and scratched it on the loose soil on the ground.
Said: "Look, this is the road from Wuyi Mountain to us. The 92nd Division is advancing towards Yingtan along this road. According to aerial reconnaissance, the three infantry regiments of the 92nd Division are divided into three parts.
, one regiment is in the front, the other two regiments are in the middle, and behind are the logistics and other troops. The entire division is lined up for more than 20 kilometers and marches towards Yingtan. They are now about a hundred or so away from us.
Kilometers or so, according to their marching speed, they will collide with us head-on in four to five hours. And our mission is to wipe out all the 92nd Division. Now, while all three of your regiment commanders are here, you all
Tell me if there is any good way?"
As soon as Li Chenzhe's words came out, everyone frowned. It stands to reason that with the powerful attack power of their armored division, it is not difficult to defeat the 92nd Division. They only need to dispatch an armored regiment to rush over, but to annihilate
It is not easy for a division of 20,000 people. After all, defeat and annihilation are two different concepts, and the difficulty increases exponentially. Moreover, a Japanese division is lined up for more than 20 kilometers in length, and roads
It is so narrow that the armored divisions cannot rush through it all at once, and as long as there is such a delay, the Japanese army will deploy formations to block it layer by layer. By then, let alone total annihilation, even defeating the Japanese army will not be that easy.
Thinking of this, everyone began to think about it. After a while, a voice rang out: "Commander, how about we ask the air force to support us and directly use planes to cut off their retreat?"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Wang Zhan, the leader of the Second Armored Regiment. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a tall build, dark complexion, a Chinese-character face, a powerful appearance, and a Northeastern accent.
"Bullshit!" Wang Zhi on the side scolded impatiently: "Old station, you haven't woken up yet. You forgot where we are now. This is Jiangxi, not Guangdong. How can we get air support at any time? Although
Our plane can fly here, but due to lack of fuel, the stay time will not exceed 20 minutes at most. Moreover, the Japanese do not have planes. Who can take care of us when they fight? They want a steady stream of food.
We should wait until Fuzhou Airport is repaired for air support."
When Wang Zhan heard this, he became anxious and glared: "Hey... I mean Wang Zhi, don't think that you and I were a family five hundred years ago and you can ruin me like this. If you want to say that I'm wrong, then you can't do it either."
Here’s an idea, don’t just make fun of me.”
When Wang Zhi heard this, he smiled proudly, shook his head and said: "Don't tell me yet, I have an idea, and it will definitely be better than you."
Wang Zhan was unconvinced and said in a loud voice: "Then you should speak. Don't just talk without practicing. If you have the ability, speak out and let everyone listen!"
Hearing that these two guys started arguing again, everyone laughed. Xu Zhiyong, the leader of the third regiment, shouted: "Yes, Wang Zhi, you are usually the loudest, but you should speak out your lofty opinions for everyone to see."
, let everyone see if you are really that capable."
Seeing everyone making noise together, Li Chenzhe didn't stop him. He just crossed his arms and looked at everyone with a smile. After two years of military career and dozens of battles, he, the former white-faced scholar, has grown into a qualified officer.
He also knows very well the principle of relaxation in the way of civil and military affairs. It is not a good choice to blindly exert force. It is the right principle to make people relax when they are tense.
Wang Zhi did not show weakness, he also picked up a branch and said: "Look at it, I will start talking now. I found that you have all fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, like the Japanese, you are too dependent on roads.
.Don’t forget, we can still dedicate our troops to bypass both sides of the highway, as long as we can..."
"Wait..." Wang Zhan interrupted Wang Zhi, "Wang Zhi, what's the matter with you? Don't forget, we are an armored division and we drive tanks weighing more than 30 tons, right?
Two-legged infantry, can our tanks still move if we leave the road? Don't look at the mountains here, but there are really not many hills and mountains around. If our tanks leave the road, I can guarantee that we will be able to move as long as we are on the road.
If we drive on this kind of ground for half a day, at least half of our tank will be down due to mechanical failure. By then, we will be done without the enemy attacking us."
"That's right, Lao Wang, what kind of bad idea are you coming up with! The enemy has not even started to fight, but he has already laid down himself. What is this?" Everyone also shook their heads, thinking that this was Wang Zhi's idea.
Not advisable.
