The teams in the Northeast are constantly growing under the mobilization of the anti-alliance forces, but the overall situation is still relatively secretive.
The so-called "secret" refers to the secret development of members of the anti-alliance forces to establish bases. Unless discovered by the Japanese, they will not easily conflict with the enemy.
The reason for this is because Wang Xuexin believes that it is better not to attract the attention of the Japanese at this time, otherwise they are likely to realize the internal problems and carry out high-pressure purge activities, and the anti-alliance forces that have not yet developed will be
will be suppressed again.
????????Just when Wang Xuexin was paying attention to the situation in the Northeast, Zhang Zongping came to Wang Xuexin with a telegram and said: "Captain, there is a call from the headquarters, saying that I hope you can draw up a combat plan and submit it."
!”
?????????"Combat plan?" Wang Xuexin was in a dilemma when he heard this.
?????????It turns out that the chief also felt that Wang Xuexin would take action recently.
?????????Usually, whenever there is a battle, Wang Xuexin will first report the battle plan to the headquarters.
????????This is to strengthen the connection with the headquarters, and secondly, if there is a need for cooperation from other troops, the headquarters will be able to make targeted plans if it knows Wang Xuexin's battle plan.
?????????But this time, the chief waited and waited but couldn't wait for Wang Xuexin's battle plan, which made the chief a little anxious.
?????????"This little Northeast!" the chief said: "What kind of tricks are you doing? It's no time, and the plan has not been reported! If there is a fight, if we don't know his battle plan, then
How to cooperate?"
The chief of staff helped Wang Xuexin put in good words: "Chief, this may be Xiaodongbei's preparation for this and that. There are too many things to do and he has forgotten them. I will ask someone to remind him!"
????????So a telegram was sent to Wang Xuexin’s headquarters.
???????Wang Xuexin responded directly: "Report to the commander, I have no battle plan!"
"No battle plan?" This time, even the chief of staff was stunned: "Commander Wang, you have made so many preparations for such a big battle, but you don't have a battle plan?"
"Report to the chief!" Wang Xuexin replied: "It is too early to say a battle plan at this time, because we are counterattacking based on the enemy's offensive situation. Then we will command the battle based on the actual situation. We will make a plan now."
...Unless we know how to fight the Japanese!"
The commander understood what Wang Xuexin said. He nodded slightly and said: "There is no way to win but there are ways to win. Well said! Make the best use of the situation according to local conditions. A battle must be based on the enemy's offensive posture."
There really is no way to make a battle plan for a counterattack!"
????????This should be said to be a characteristic of "blitzkrieg".
"Blitzkrieg" can provide a battle plan from a broad perspective, but this battle plan is usually useless because it often needs to be changed during the battle.
????????When it comes to specific operations, there is no battle plan.
???????? Because the core of "blitzkrieg" is to find the enemy's weakness and then use concentrated forces to break through this weakness as quickly as possible.
????????Before the battle, the enemy's weakness is unknown, and this keeps changing during the battle.
????????For example, a town that was originally heavily garrisoned was suddenly turned into an empty city, and an originally undefended city was now heavily guarded.
???????This is also the reason why Hans often allows frontline officers to perform freely during battles... The more such a battle, the more commanding skills of officers are required, requiring them to flexibly adapt to changes rather than follow a plan.
Or play on a designated route... This is usually the way the furry bear plays.
????????Wang Xuexin knows this very well.
The three mechanized regiments he prepared were for a "blitzkrieg", so it was true that they were interspersed, but they were interspersed after the Japanese attack revealed flaws.
At this time, the Japanese attack had not yet begun, and Wang Xuexin himself did not know where to break through, so he did not know where to start the battle plan.
????????However, Wang Xuexin still had a discussion with the chief.
?????????For example, logistical support issues...
????????Mechanized troops can indeed penetrate quickly, but a big problem it has is logistics, especially these three regiments still use repeating rifles.
???????? Fuel supply and the like can be easily solved. The Japs’ warehouses are full of them. If there’s anything bad about it, it’s that the Sherman uses gasoline while the Japs tanks use gasoline.
diesel fuel.
????????But this doesn’t have much impact, the Japanese cars also use gasoline.
?????????In other words, these can be captured from the enemy.
At the same time, it can be estimated that after the mechanized troops penetrate the enemy's weak hinterland, the supplies will not be lacking... and not only will they not be lacking, they will not be able to carry them all.
What will be lacking is ammunition, ammunition for repeating rifles.
One disadvantage of using a repeating rifle is that its ammunition is not compatible with the Japs' ammunition. Even if numerous Japs' ammunition depots are captured, ammunition cannot be replenished.
????????This logistics needs to be provided by other troops for the mechanized troops.
Wang Xuexin said: "I have considered this issue, and I think it should be carried out in several aspects at the same time: First, the follow-up of the main force. Although the main force may not be able to keep up with the mechanized force, as long as the mechanized force
As soon as they are blocked by the enemy and enter combat mode, the main force in the rear should follow up in time and deliver supplies to the mechanized troops!"
The leader thought for a while and then replied: "There is no problem with this. The mechanized troops will serve as sharp knives at the front, the main force will follow up in the second echelon to occupy the favorable terrain and garrison, and the engineers will transport ammunition and follow up at the rear! Only
However... if the front is stretched too long, there will inevitably be a shortage of troops!"
What the chief said makes sense.
????????If you are going several kilometers or ten kilometers deep into the enemy's hinterland, there will be no problem in fighting like this.
But if it is tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Daqingshan is only ten regiments... this is not enough to protect the logistics supply line.
"So there is a second plan!" Wang Xuexin said: "Use transport planes and fighter jets to transport it!"
????????"Using fighter jets?" The leader couldn't help but be confused.
????????Use transport planes to transport him, understand, but use fighter jets...
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Once the mechanized troops penetrate deep into enemy territory and cannot obtain supplies, our army can only open a temporary airport. At that time, transport planes and fighter jets can carry ammunition at the temporary airport.
landing!"
????????Then Wang Xuexin added: "This is a situation where it is possible to build an airport when stationed for a long time. If it is an emergency, transport aircraft and fighter jets are required to be airdropped!"
The chief nodded and said: "Are you making preparations for this?"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Liyuan Airport is already conducting airdrop training. It may be difficult to airdrop other equipment, but if you only airdrop bullets for repeating rifles... it shouldn't be a big deal.
question!"
"That's good!" The chief nodded with satisfaction and said, "Just do as you say!"
