Under the supervision of commanders at all levels, the mental outlook of the soldiers seems to be pretty good.
In fact, since the beginning of the war, the Central Corps has the largest number of direct line main forces. If you pull it casually, you can find a bunch of Huangpu Phase I.
Zhang Yong only selected five people from them.
There are also Li Yutang, Ma Liwu, Yu Chengwan...
The lowest level is also the regimental leader. Yu Chengwan is the deputy brigade commander and regimental commander. He is promoted relatively slowly.
They were all in the first phase of Huangpu, and Hu Zongnan became the commander of the regiment. Yu Chengwan was still the commander of a small regiment.
Comparing people to each other is so annoying!
As for the second phase, the third phase, or even more after that.
Fang Xianjue in the third phase and Liao Yaoxiang in the sixth phase. They are all currently leading troops at the grassroots level.
Most of those who were in the same period as Cao Mengqi are still platoon leaders. Almost all the grassroots officers in the core direct line troops are from Huangpu.
"quick!"
"quick!"
Along the trench, the troops began to move.
The Japanese invaders soon discovered it and used artillery fire to stop it.
"boom!"
"boom!"
They are all small caliber artillery pieces.
The Japanese heavy artillery regiment never showed up.
They probably wanted to deal a fatal blow to the national army. They waited for the national army to deploy and then suddenly washed away the ground with artillery fire.
Judging from the investigation by various units, it was true that no heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese invaders was found. This shows that the Japanese invaders were well hidden and were obviously preparing for a sudden attack.
The troops walked through the trenches under Japanese artillery fire.
"Que Hanqian!"
Zhang Yong suddenly shouted.
A colonel officer came running over in a hurry.
"Commissioner."
"Do you know how to use an oil barrel mortar?"
"I have already organized a study session in the afternoon. Basic knowledge."
"You have to keep your distance when launching. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Okay. Let's go!"
Zhang Yong nodded. He remembered the name.
It’s also the fourth phase. It’s the same phase as 101. I once played against 101 when we played in Jinzhou.
The 101st was very cautious and prepared two columns to wait for him. As a result, they only dispatched two divisions and pushed the enemy back. The 11th column behind them had no chance to take action.
In fact, the Fourth Column blocked the entire National Army Corps without using all their strength. At this point, 101 understood that the National Army was really very weak. After that, it swept across the country.
"quick!"
"quick!"
Que Hanqian returned to the army and waved vigorously.
The soldiers dragged the oil drums one by one along the trench to the front. The soldiers behind were holding large and small explosive bags.
There are also soldiers responsible for carrying special propellants. They are all specially made.
The key technical point of the oil barrel mortar is the propellant. If it is too much or too little, it will not meet the requirements.
If it is missing, the explosive package cannot be launched. It may even explode inside the oil barrel.
If there is too much, the explosive pack will be blown up directly. It will be over immediately.
Therefore, the risk of this kind of indigenous weapon is really high. If there is a substitute, no one will be willing to use it.
However, isn’t this true? The Chinese army does not have large-caliber artillery, so they can only use this crude method instead. It can blow up fortifications and kill Japanese invaders in large numbers.
Even if the Japanese invaders are hiding in the trenches, the shock wave can effectively kill and injure them.
"boom……"
"boom……"
The Japanese artillery fire began fiercely.
Artillery fire was fired desperately to the west and southwest of Dachang Town.
These two directions are the directions in which the national army will attack. Teams of the five divisions must attack from this direction.
Of course, the target of the attack will not be limited to the small town of Dachang.
Rokossovsky's combat plan was methodical. The key was that he estimated the combat effectiveness of his troops to be very low.
In the past, the national army's combat plans were often estimated based on normal levels. Or even overestimated.
As a result, when there was a real fight, the combat effectiveness was insufficient and it was impossible to execute smoothly.
No matter how perfect a plan is, it will fall by the wayside.
You made a plan based on a 50-point standard, but the real level is only 30 points. How can you implement it?
If you make a plan based on 20 points, and the actual level is 30 points, it will be much easier to implement.
Rommel was the former.
Rokossovsky is the latter.
The plan he formulated made the troops below very confident.
They are all small targets one by one. You don’t need to grit your teeth. You only need to attack normally to complete them.
It didn't say where to occupy, but how to attack, how many people to organize, and what kind of firepower to use. Just follow the instructions.
It feels like this guy is really born with the attribute of training soldiers.
No matter how bad a soldier is, he can display a certain amount of combat effectiveness in his hands.
When the Soviet-German war broke out, the polar bear army was routed thousands of miles away and suffered heavy losses. The rest were scattered troops.
There are also a large number of new recruits recruited from the rear. Many recruits do not even have formal training. They feel very similar to the national army. They are all used as soon as they are captured.
The opponents are all elite teachers.
Hans's fighting ability is much stronger than Benzi's.
But polar bears also have an advantage, that is, they have no shortage of weapons and ammunition.
The scene in "At the Battle of the City" completely slanders the polar bear army. How could the polar bears lack rifles?
"Report! The 71st Division has entered the designated position!"
"Report! The 59th Division has entered the designated position!"
"Report……"
Staff officers came to report one after another.
In fact, Zhang Yong had already mastered the locations of various troops through radar maps.
On the radar map, in addition to red dots, there are white dots. There are also some blue dots. Those are Long Muhan's 100th Army.
Because the 100th Army is the unit that he inspects, Zhang Yong, therefore, the blue dot is displayed.
Five divisions arrived at the starting point of the attack one after another.
"fire!"
"yes!"
At an order, artillery fire began to support.
It is mainly a 75mm field gun. It is the only long-range support firepower of the entire corps.
But there are only two artillery battalions, with a total of twenty artillery batteries. The maximum range is 8,000 meters, which can basically cover Dachang Town.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The cannonballs fell and burst into flames.
The night fell and the firelight looked very dazzling. But in the firelight, no Japanese invaders could be seen.
All the Japanese invaders were hiding in the trenches.
The Japanese invaders also dug cat-ear holes in the trenches, which could effectively prevent shelling.
Zhang Yong didn't learn this trick before in Luodian. Later, he learned it from the Japanese invaders. So the national army also started digging holes in cat ears.
As a result, the small-caliber shelling from both sides caused little damage.
Trenches and cat-ear holes reduce shelling damage from both sides to a minimum.
"Nani?"
The Japanese commander suddenly realized something was wrong.
The most intense Chinese artillery bombardment seemed to be south of Dachang Town.
Over there, the Chinese army seems to have dispatched the largest number of people. After the two sides engaged in a short distance, this was further confirmed.
The firepower is very fierce.
There are a large number of submachine guns and light machine guns.
There is also plenty of ammunition. Shoot wildly.
One squadron of Japanese invaders was completely wiped out in less than ten minutes.
"Baga!"
"Chinese people are so cunning!"
"Bang!"
The Japanese commander pounded the table hard.
Could it be...
Are the Chinese trying to break through from the south of Dachang Town?
Very possible.
Try to break through from the south, then outflank and besiege Dachang Town.
This is the most basic tactic. The Japanese invaders knew it too.
Immediately ordered an infantry brigade to go to the southern defense line and resolutely block the Chinese.
"The Japanese invaders were indeed fooled."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully. This is only the first step.
First, attract some Japanese troops to the southern front. Mobilize as many Japanese troops as possible from Dachang Town.
A very special aspect of the combat plan drawn up by Rokossovsky is that there are no words such as main attack and assist. Instead, the number of people to use, how much firepower, and how long to last are very specific descriptions. Grassroots officers and soldiers follow the descriptions.
Just execute it directly.
Is this the main attack?
Of course not. It's just a cover.
But this cover is not very effective. After all, the Japanese invaders can also think.
What’s next?
Just prepare for a strong attack.
On the battlefield, it is impossible to blindly think about winning by surprise and taking advantage of opportunities.
Unless the enemy commander you encounter is very stupid. Otherwise, it is impossible to give you so many opportunities for clever attacks. In the end, it will still be a matter of strength.
Zhang Yong has plenty of ammunition.
Therefore, the core of the combat plan is firepower.
It's not about winning anywhere. It's about putting as much firepower as possible wherever possible. There is no upper limit.
"fire!"
"fire!"
Que Hanqian gave the order at the forward position.
According to the Corps Department's plan requirements, he must launch at least 120 explosive packets.
Among them, at least half of the explosive packages were ten kilograms.
The makeshift artillery quickly set up oil drums.
Probably aim.
Insert the propellant.
Stuff the explosive bag.
Light the fuses of the propellant and explosive pack at the same time.
Then everyone ran away immediately.
The fuse burns.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound.
The entire oil barrel almost exploded.
Then, the explosive package flew out staggeringly.
It was also tumbling precariously in the air, without the graceful arc of a cannonball at all.
"Nani?"
"What is that?"
The Japanese observation post immediately discovered it and hurriedly observed it carefully.
He quickly discovered that it was an explosive package. He quickly denied his judgment. How could the explosive package fly so far?
Something feels wrong...
Watching helplessly as the explosive package staggered to the ground.
It didn't explode immediately. Instead, it rolled randomly on the ground. There were fuses and sparks coming out.
Until Mars disappears...
"Rumble..."
There was a loud sound of earth shattering.
The explosive package exploded.
For a moment, the surroundings were filled with confusion.
It was like a 150mm grenade dropped, the ground shook violently and dust flew up.
wrong……
The explosive power is greater than that of a 150mm grenade.
The powerful shock wave injured nearby Japanese invaders. Some Japanese invaders were knocked unconscious on the spot.
Although the remaining Japanese invaders were not unconscious, they still felt very uncomfortable. They covered their chests and gasped for air.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
More explosive charges fall.
They were all wobbly. After landing, they rolled all over the place.
Some rolled into the trenches, and there happened to be Japanese invaders in the trenches, hiding in the cat's ear holes.
then……
There was a loud noise.
The Japanese invaders were completely blown to pieces.
The trenches were also bombed and cannot be seen as they were.
"good!"
"good!"
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Sure enough, this kind of oil barrel mortar is really too violent. It’s pure explosion aesthetics!
Apart from the shock wave of the explosion, there is no other means of killing.
There are still shrapnel in the shells! There are no explosive packets.
An idea flashed in my mind. It seems that I can add some steel balls to the explosive bag?
In addition, there are thousands and hundreds of soybean-sized steel balls. Once exploded, a rain of iron will form around it.
Hehe, that effect...
It seems so inhumane.
but!
I like!
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
There were deafening explosions everywhere.
More and more oil barrel mortars were put into use to launch large quantities of explosive packets onto the Japanese invaders' positions.
"Baga!"
"Fight back!"
The Japanese invaders at the front realized that something was wrong and roared hysterically.
As a result, all small arms opened fire.
But it poses no threat to the oil barrel mortar because it is fired from the trench.
If there is no loss, then it will be self-destruction.
Occasionally, the explosive pack exploded, shattering the oil drum and everything around it.
Zhang Yong saw it but was indifferent.
This is a result that has been anticipated for a long time. There will definitely be self-destruction.
All have been calculated into battlefield risks.
"superior!"
"superior!"
Que Hanqian led his troops and began to climb up.
Climb along the trench until you reach the trench on the Japanese side.
I found many Japanese invaders lying scattered in the trench. They were all intact. Some of the Japanese invaders' uniforms were shattered.
Not dead yet?
The soldiers quickly raised their guns.
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
Shooting at the corpses of Japanese invaders.
Make sure every Japanese invader is completely dead.
In the end, it was discovered that those Japanese invaders were actually dead long ago.
There were no wounds on the outside, but there was bleeding from all the orifices. It was obvious that all the internal organs had been shattered.
Got it. They are all achievements of ten kilograms of explosives.
Shock the enemy to death alive.
There are no scars on the outside, but they are all broken on the inside.
Keep moving forward.
Suddenly, Japanese invaders appeared in front.
This is the Japanese aggressor who counterattacked, trying to regain their position.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Da da da..."
The two sides exchanged fire.
The number of Japanese invaders is increasing.
Obviously, the Japanese invaders would never give up their position.
"withdraw!"
"withdraw!"
Que Hanqian then ordered to retreat.
He personally broke up the rear and used a submachine gun to suppress the Japanese invaders' counterattack.
Step by step, retreat back to the starting point.
There was always a firefight with the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese invaders finally successfully regained their frontline positions.
About a small group of Japanese invaders continued to squat in the trenches.
"put!"
"put!"
Over there, the oil barrel mortars started firing again.
One by one, the explosive packets were launched staggeringly, and then landed staggeringly.
It was rolling on the ground. It exploded wherever it rolled.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
A loud noise.
The Japanese invaders in the trenches were shocked to pieces.
After the continuous explosions, some Japanese invaders finally couldn't bear it anymore. They held their throats and bled to death.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
Keep firing.
Strictly follow the battle plan.
After firing another 120 explosive packets, the commandos continued to move up the trench.
This time, it was not Que Hanqian who led the team. He was a company commander.
They went into the Japanese invaders' trenches and found that most of the Japanese invaders inside were shocked to death.
Occasionally, there are still those who can breathe, but they are already dazed and unconscious.
There's no need to shoot. Just stab him in the neck with the bayonet.
Eliminate the remaining Japanese invaders and continue to crawl forward until you encounter the Japanese invaders.
"Crack!"
"Da da da..."
"Da da da..."
There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides.
Japanese reinforcements kept coming.
The two sides started a brutal fight in the trenches.
"Kill Jiji!"
"Kill Jiji!"
The number of Japanese invaders is increasing.
So retreated.
The exchange of fire continued.
Finally, the Japanese invaders successfully regained the forward position.
More than a hundred Japanese invaders were lying in ambush in the trenches, waiting for the Chinese army to come up again, and then attack them head-on.
result……
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
The dynamite pack comes to say hello again.
Falling staggeringly. Rolling everywhere.
After the continuous explosions, the Japanese invaders stationed there suffered almost all casualties!
The commandos took the opportunity to go up and occupy the position.
At the same time, all the Japanese invaders were sent to see Amaterasu.
"Baga!"
"This is a Chinese conspiracy!"
The Japanese commander finally realized that this was a very despicable way of luring a snake out of its hole.
The purpose of the Chinese army is not to occupy the position at all. It is to lure the Japanese troops into the forward position and then use strange explosive packages to kill them.
Continuously, the Japanese invaders have lost more than three squads, more than 200 people.
They were all beaten to death by the shock.
Those explosive packs are so terrifying. Even scarier than 150mm grenades!
what to do?
"Baga!"
They could only order to shrink their positions angrily.
No more. Give up. Otherwise, send someone up, and the result will be death again.
As a result, the Chinese army successfully occupied a position of more than 100 meters. Then they moved up the oil barrels and mortars and continued to repeat the previous steps.
bombing……
assault……
Firefight...
withdraw……
Keep bombing...
Continue the assault...
The exchange of fire continues...
Continue to withdraw...
This is done in all offensive areas.
In one area, one or two hundred Japanese invaders were eliminated. In five areas, ten areas. The result is quite impressive.
The first step in this plan is to use short, sufficient firepower to consume part of the enemy's effective strength.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you occupy a position or not.
The important thing is to attract the Japanese invaders into the range of the oil barrel mortars.
This kind of indigenous weapon has a very short range. It requires the Japanese invaders to throw themselves into the trap and die actively.
Facts have proved that the Japanese invaders would also be deceived when encountering some strange tactics.
It wasn't until the third round of troop losses that I realized something was wrong.
"Baga!"
The Japanese commander was so angry that he wanted to explode on the spot.
The enemy's tactics are really despicable. They eat away bit by bit. Each time they eat away more than a hundred meters, leaving you with nothing to do.
You have to send people to recapture it. Otherwise, the enemy will occupy it.
However, when someone was sent to recapture it, they were immediately covered in explosives. Then they were shocked to death.
mean!
Shameless!
Obscene!
Such tactics are simply abominable!
"Ha ha!"
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Yong, who was observing the battle from behind, was very satisfied.
Very good, just fight like this.
Although it is very slow and very inefficient, it is still effective!
Each time, they move forward more than a hundred meters. Do you Japanese invaders want to fight for it?
Fighting for it will lead to death.
If you don't fight for it, you will lose it. You will lose it bit by bit.
What a dilemma!
"boom!"
"boom!"
In fact, the Japanese invaders were also under constant fire.
The Japanese invaders' artillery fire was also fiercely counterattacking, trying to stop the national army from continuing to advance.
However, the Chinese troops were nestled in trenches, which could effectively avoid damage from small-caliber artillery shells. Unless the Japanese invaders deployed 105mm heavy cannons.
The strange thing is that the Japanese invaders seemed to be very calm and did not order the heavy artillery regiment to open fire.
Do you want to continue hiding and wait for a fatal blow?
Okay, take his life while he's sick.
Breakthroughs are happening in every direction.
Every time it's just a little bit. It's always a hundred or dozens of meters.
Don't be greedy for too much.
Repeated battles consumed the Japanese invaders' strength.
In front of the oil barrels and mortars, the Japanese invaders consumed much more troops than the national army.
"Baga!"
The Japanese headquarters decided to fight back.
This cannot continue. A fierce counterattack must be launched.
A brave offensive must be used to drive the enemy out of the trenches and restore the previous position.
Order the reserves to attack.
then……
A steady stream of Japanese invaders rushed up crazily along the trenches.
