"Very good, what Dakui said is correct. This is also the real meaning of calling all of you here. Don't think too much about it." Liu Lang clapped his hands and said.
"The super willpower of the red troops is the key to their persistence for five days and four nights against an outnumbered enemy." Liu Lang waved his hand and asked several infantry battalion commanders to sit down, then picked up his baton and pointed at the area marked by the red line on the map.
He continued: "Let us discuss and analyze how the two sides fought this battle."
"In this battle, two legions of the Red Army built fortifications and blocking positions in Xinwei, Jiaoshanpu, Guanghuapu and other areas on both sides of the Xiangjiang River. The three positions were all to ensure control of the ferry, in order to allow themselves to remain in Baidu.
The highest command outside Li crossed the Xiangjiang River. Let’s not talk about the battles between Xinwei and Jieshou. Let’s first look at the battle of Jueshanpu, where both sides invested the most troops.
On the national side, it was the Hunan Army troops commanded by the 1st Route Pursuit Commander Liu Jianxu, including the 16th Division (Zhang Liangji), the 62nd Division (Tao Guang), the 63rd Division (Chen Guangzhong) and part of the 19th Division (Li Jue).
Brigade), 4 supplementary regiments, and 3 security regiments. Following the Hunan Army, there are Xue Yue's 5 divisions, which have also advanced to Huangsha River. The flying brigade stationed in Hengyang by the bald man can also fly in at any time to assist in the battle.
, to cooperate with the Hunan Army's ground attack. As everyone knows about the establishment of the Hunan Army, each division has 10,000 to 12,000 men, and the total number of soldiers of the Hunan Army Liu Jianxu's Department reaches 60,000 to 70,000.
Let’s take a look at the Red Army, which is Lin’s Red 1st Army. The Red 1st Army has three divisions, namely the Red 1st Division, the 2nd Red Division, and the 15th Red Division, which they also call the International Division of the Young Communist Party. According to 1934
According to the Red Army roster statistics on October 8, 2011, the Red Army had a total of 19,880 people. However, after the continuous reduction of the first three blockades, the number of the Red Army before this battle was definitely not that large. It is assumed that they still have 17,000 people.
People!
On the first day of the battle at Jueshanpu, the First Red Army Corps deployed two regiments each from the Second Red Division and the First Red Division, for a total of four regiments. On the second day, it committed all six regiments from the First and Second Red Divisions.
.
By November 27, more than 60,000 soldiers from Liu Jianxu's Hunan Army occupied the whole state and set up a cordon outside the city. When the battle started on the 29th, there were three regiments of the Second Red Division and two regiments of the First Red Division, a total of four
The entire regiment has entered the Jiaoshanpu blocking position.
Jueshanpu is a small village with only about 20 households. It is located on the Guihuang Highway, 16 kilometers from Quanzhou in the north and about 30 kilometers from Jieshou Ferry in the south. There are several hills around the village, surrounded by the north-south Guizhou Highway.
The Yellow Highway is divided into the east and west sides and intersects with the Gui-Huang Highway to form a cross. These mountains from east to west are: Huangdi Ridge, Jianfengling, Soaring Phoenix Ridge, Beauty Combing Tou Ridge, Mihua Mountain, and Huazhuobaozi
Mountain.
Huangdi Ridge, Jianfengling Ridge are on the east side of the highway, Phoenix Ridge, Beauty Comb Ridge, Mihua Mountain, and Huaizhong Baozi Mountain are on the west side of the highway. Among them, Huangdi Ridge and Huaizhong Baozi Mountain are the highest, both at the south end.
The south is high and the north is low, the enemy coming from the north is attacking from above, while the red troops are condescending."
Following Liu Lang's detailed narration, several infantry battalion commanders quickly arranged the rockery on the sand table to resemble the battlefield described by Liu Lang.
"Now, the Red Army has four regiments with only more than 10,000 troops, and what they have to face is the attack of more than 60,000 troops from the Hunan Army Headquarters. Can any of you tell me, if it were you, what should you do?
How to fight. In other words, you think of this battle as our independent regiment. You have exactly four battalions. Each battalion’s strength is doubled and it becomes four regiments. Can you tell us how to fight this battle where the enemy is very different from us?
?" Liu Lang cast his gaze on the faces of the officers present.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They had only seen the battle report of the final battlefield, but they did not know that the strength of the blocking battle was so disparate. More than 10,000 people versus more than 60,000 people, a difference of four times, not to mention that one side also had aircraft and artillery to help.
As for the red troops, it may be okay to have rifles and machine guns, but forget about artillery. Marching in such mountainous areas, if you want to maneuver quickly and also want to move forward with artillery? That is simply seeking death. Any commander would do it.
Decide immediately to blow up the cannon or throw it away.
Firepower is important, but the mobility of the troops is more important. If the mobility is insufficient and the enemy is surrounded, no amount of artillery can bring victory, but defeat.
A battle with such disparity in power was unprecedented even in the Battle of the Great Wall against the Eighth Division, which had aircraft and heavy artillery. At that time, they had built fortifications nearly a month in advance, and even the machine gun bunkers were covered with steel plates that could withstand 150
millimeter howitzer bombing. The strength of the troops has reached three regiments with a total of more than 7,000 people. The Japanese invaders are only over 20,000. The ratio of enemy to friend is one to three, which is far from the 60,000-plus enemy enemy ratio faced by the Red Army.
One to five.
It can be said that no matter how arrogant they are, looking at such a disparity in power, they have no chance of winning. Even if they double the strength of each battalion as the regimental commander said, if possible, there will be four with the firepower and equipment like today.
The independent group is pretty much the same.
But how did the red troops win this blocking battle? Everyone thought of the sentence mentioned in the battle report: Lin, Nie, and Zuo led the remaining troops to the west. That clearly meant that under the attack of more than 60,000 people,
The more than 10,000 people actually maintained their strength and retreated under the leadership of their commanders after resisting for several days.
And everyone knows very well that the so-called remnant of the Hunan Army Commander-in-Chief Lao Liu is definitely bragging. Killing one person will result in ten times the result. This is simply their habit. Maybe the red troops will withdraw.
Even if you lose your own main force.
It is said that the person who knows you best may be your enemy. In fact, you also know yourself. A group of lieutenants and school officers who also belong to the national army system were right this time. Although the red troops suffered heavy casualties in this blocking battle, the main force
It was still a smooth retreat, and the casualties were far from being nearly annihilated as Lao Liu said. The two red divisions who fought fiercely on the banks of the Xiang River for three days lost a total of more than 4,000 people, with a casualty rate of nearly 30%.
"Regiment leader, if my artillery battalion is equipped with thirty-six mountain cannons and eighty mortars, and based on the advantage of this terrain, as long as the brothers of the infantry battalion dare to fight hard, I am confident that I can hold off the opponent's attack for more than two days.
." Seeing that several infantry battalion commanders were silent, Zhao Ergou stood up and said.
"Do you want to dig trenches and bunkers for your mountain artillery like Luo Wenyu?" Liu Lang said coldly.
"That's best. I can guarantee that in two and a half days, they won't be able to take a single step forward 200 meters in front of the barracks." Zhao Ergou confidently took the initiative to extend the time for another half day.
"Fuck you, the Red Army doesn't have a single mountain cannon. It would be great to have five or six small-caliber mortars. What about the thirty-six mountain cannons and eighty mortars? Your artillery battalion
Now he is also an infantryman of Te Niang, crawling into the trenches with rifles and submachine guns." Liu Lang cursed angrily, making Zhao Ergou shrink his neck and lose his cool.
The expressions of the several infantry battalion commanders became even more bitter. The regimental leader clearly meant that pure infantrymen would do it hard! This test is about their application of tactics and the test of the soldiers' willpower. However, is this really possible? No
Firepower, relying solely on tactics and the willpower of soldiers, can it withstand so many enemy attacks?
"Sir, if it were me, I would use the death camp to guard the front of the highway, the bayonet camp to guard Beauty Shutou Ridge on the west side of the highway, the rock camp to guard Pioneer Ridge on the east side of the highway, and Battalion Commander Chi's battalion as a reserve.
As long as there is only one person left in the death camp that I have expanded to 1,500 people, the enemy will not be allowed to move forward. However, I can only guarantee to hold on for two days." Zhou Shiyu thought for a while, and when he saw that no one else spoke, he stood
He stood up and said.
This is a very normal tactic for independent regiments. Three battalions go into battle and one battalion serves as a reserve. Based on the current terrain, there is nothing wrong with using this tactic.
However, the strategy of using the first battalion, which has always been the fist force of the independent regiment, as a reserve force is quite new.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone including the commander of the first battalion, Chi Dakui, had a strange look on their face.
But Liu Tuanzuo's face, which had always been somewhat solemn, showed a long-lost smile.
This little platoon leader who once wanted to be a deserter seems to have grown up very quickly!
