Under the deployment of the commander, the mechanized force added more than 200 shoulder straps in just one week... This almost collected all the shoulder straps of the Eighth Route Army, even the car of Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment.
For this reason, Li Yunlong even yelled: "Damn it, whoever seizes it will get it. If you transfer a little today and a batch tomorrow, won't they all be transferred away by the superiors in the end?"
"Li Yunlong, what are you talking about?" Zhao Gang said sternly: "You still act as the headquarters and don't take care of the independent regiment? Whoever captures it belongs to whom... Were you the one who captured the tanks in the tank battalion? If you want to be serious, I will ask my superiors for permission.
They will move the tanks back first and return all the supplies you captured!"
When he said this, Li Yunlong became anxious and hurriedly stopped Zhao Gang and said, "No, Lao Zhao! Didn't I just talk about it? Why did you take it seriously!"
"Tell me about it?" Zhao Gang hadn't had enough of his training yet and continued to knock on the table and scold Li Yunlong: "I'm telling you, Lao Li, don't be so obedient even if you get the advantage. If this is really clear, whoever seizes it belongs to who, our independent group will follow
The rocket launcher is already a violation, let alone the rocket launcher and the aviation team that is still under the independent regiment!"
This time Li Yunlong became even more panicked.
Although the air force is only organized under the independent regiment and not under the command of the independent regiment, these days the air force is mostly cooperating with the independent regiment...actually cooperating with the defense of Yuncheng, just because Li Yunlong's defense of Yuncheng cooperates more with the air force.
That's why there is this illusion.
Therefore, it is really necessary to break it down into details and make it clear. The independent group really does not take advantage.
"Okay, Lao Zhao!" Li Yunlong tilted his head and replied: "We won't talk about this with you. What I'm talking about is the shoulder strap. You and I were dragged onto the plane! If you continue to talk, are you going to
Are the Japanese airborne troops all on us?"
Then Li Yunlong came close to Zhao Gang and whispered: "Old Zhao, the airborne troops are very useful. They can jump wherever they want. You think... is there any way we can organize an airborne troop for fun? Anyway,
We also have planes..."
Zhao Gang was so angry that he shook his head helplessly: "Old Li, are you treating our fighter plane as a transport plane? Our plane is for bomb dropping and cannot carry people!"
In fact, it's not that Li Yunlong doesn't know this truth, but Zhao Gang has been brought to another topic by Li Yunlong without knowing it... Zhao Gang's theoretical foundation and logic may be stronger than Li Yunlong's, but he is far from being clever in his words.
Li Yunlong's opponent.
As soon as he got the bag, Wang Xuexin immediately organized a mechanized force of seven to eight hundred people. This force was organized into the fifth battalion by Li Changfu... The Hundred Battle Regiment had four battalions, but these four battalions were in battle.
The number of troops was severely reduced and the number was not at full strength. One battalion was even reduced to just over 100 people, and only after replenishment, the number barely reached 300.
Soon, more than 100 half-track vehicles and 20 T26s arrived from Mao Xiong, and a mechanized force with a total strength of 3,000 people gradually took shape.
While the Eighth Route Army was busy, Okamura Neji was also undergoing intense training.
Okamura Neiji's training is mainly for airborne troops.
Because Okamura Neiji and Kono Shinta had a discussion, both of them believed that the main reason why the empire failed in the last battle was the insufficient size of the airborne troops and the incorrect timing of the airdrops, which resulted in their ineffectiveness.
"If our army still has one or more airborne troops!" Okamura Neiji said: "Then we may be able to provide timely reinforcements to our army's mechanized troops in three stores, granaries and other places. At this time, we are very likely to
It has successfully strangled the Eighth Route Army by the throat!"
Kono Shinta also agreed with this.
"Hans's tactics, especially the 'Blitzkrieg', also attach great importance to airborne troops!" Shinta Kono said: "Because airborne troops are very flexible, they can almost cross all obstacles and suddenly appear in unexpected locations for the enemy. If you cooperate with
Compare the mechanized troops... There are still traces of the mechanized troops. The enemy can observe the marching route of the mechanized troops and judge the target of our army. However, the airborne troops can suddenly land and attack the target. This arm is very
Suitable for dealing with situations like the Eighth Route Army!"
Kono Shinta is right, Hans is superb in the application of airborne troops.
For example, when the mechanized troops are advancing, Hans will let the airborne troops first occupy the bridges, warehouses, strategic locations, etc. needed by the mechanized troops, and then the mechanized troops will follow up and pass smoothly, forming an almost perfect coordination.
At this time, the rear of the Eighth Route Army can be said to be full of weaknesses, and every weakness may be fatal.
If you use airborne operations, you only need to concentrate your troops and make an airborne landing to end the battle and achieve the strategic goal.
The problem is...
Training a qualified airborne force cannot be completed overnight. It requires long-term training, as well as the follow-up of equipment, such as parachutes, transport aircraft, etc., and more importantly, the improvement of tactics.
In terms of tactics, sometimes even instructor Hans has a headache for the Japanese.
Because the Japanese were sometimes very stubborn, their commander insisted on carrying a samurai sword on the battlefield...
For Hans, this thing is not only useless in airborne operations, but also increases many dangers: a samurai sword is carried on the waist while parachuting. If the handle of the sword hits the ground and presses against a certain part of the human body, then
He sent the commander away directly.
Therefore, instructor Hans did not allow the Japanese to carry samurai swords.
The Japs, on the other hand, regard carrying a samurai sword as their own honor, and they belong to the category of "a soldier can be killed but not humiliated": the head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but the samurai sword cannot be thrown away.
The two sides even got into a very unhappy situation because of this.
In the end, instructor Hans compromised and decided to respect the "tradition" of the Japs, but the instructor was not responsible for the negative impact it caused.
There are many situations like this during training.
Therefore, it's not that the Japanese don't have Hans's parachute tactics, but that the Japanese prefer rigid offensive tactics that are incompatible with airborne operations, which require flexibility.
After understanding this, Okamura Neji and Kono Shinta had to face reality: at this stage, the empire can still only rely on mechanized troops as the main force and airborne troops as supplements.
Kono Shinta said this: "If we have one year, we can completely defeat them with airborne troops! If the general urgently needs to defeat the opponent..."
"One year?" Okamura Neiji shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Kono-kun, the Eighth Route Army in front of us didn't even have rifles a year ago, and the per capita bullets were only three rounds. But.
Now, there are airplanes, tanks, artillery, and rocket launchers. Can you imagine what they will develop into in another year?"
