Before Yang Mingzhi's strategies and tactics were officially announced, his subordinates volunteered one by one.
Yang Mingzhi stamped his feet: "Don't fight anymore! Just be quiet!"
The noisy headquarters quickly fell silent.
"I know that you all have strong combat effectiveness. I can actually let anyone take the lead in the battle. However, if one regiment is allowed to join, the other regiments will definitely not be happy! In this case, the second regiment, the first regiment and the parachute brigade, you
Each has a battalion. And you, Balzen, will join in with your business. The main attacking force in this battle will be these four battalions. You will form a special infantry regiment. Well, Balzen will be the commander!"
This order caused an uproar among everyone present, and the most shocked person was Balzen!
"Commander! You want me to be the leader of this temporary infantry regiment?! I..."
"What? Don't you think you can do the job yourself? Then I'll replace you with someone else!"
"No! I can do it!" Balzen took a step forward, "I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Because of the previous war, Yang Mingzhi was very suspicious and even believed that Balzen was indeed a reckless man. He had been given many opportunities, but he really lacked the ability to command more than a thousand troops in combat.
That was still the battle at the end of March, and Balzen's fighting style was in one word - reckless.
He could indeed think of some interesting strategies, but when facing a large number of enemy troops, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he could not restrain his impulse, eager to use the few troops at hand to give the enemy a fatal blow. The battle at the end of March
, he was half successful. The troops with insufficient stamina were quickly beaten like sons by the enemy who counterattacked.
As a result, the troops suffered great losses. Who was the main person responsible? It was Balzen.
Almost three months have passed. After hearing Balzen's words today, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but feel itchy. Maybe after three months, this guy has finally become smarter.
Yang Mingzhi actually acted on a whim. His words were military orders that could not be taken back. Balzen was the commander of this mixed force!
But then I thought about it, if Balzen wants to be reckless again, except for his direct line, the other three battalions may not listen to him. Under normal circumstances, the first prerequisite for an army to win a battle is to resolutely obey the command, but in this battle, maybe they
The four camps can restrict each other and are more suitable.
Because of this battle, Yang Mingzhi did not intend to destroy the enemy's defense with the thunderous strike of the rocket launcher, and let the troops capture it quickly.
He decided to adopt more vicious means to attack the German army - encirclement and reinforcements!
Looking at the combat styles in this time and space, there are already a few countries that like to use this tactic. At least the Soviet commanders rarely think of this tactic. After all, what is taught at the Frunze Military Academy is the so-called standard.
A modern warfare style. That is, relying on strong troops and heavy firepower to defeat the enemy head-on. When various countries conduct major battles, they generally like to use pincer tactics, that is, large-scale encirclement.
The German army set a historical record in encirclement operations in Kiev, capturing more than three times the number of enemy soldiers killed and wounded!
The author of The Theory of War believed that war should eliminate the enemy's effective force. Later generations of generals studied this wonderful book and carried out actual combat in actual combat. Promoting the enemy's large-scale surrender is equivalent to annihilating the enemy's effective force, which is extremely efficient.
However, the ultimate goal of encirclement and reinforcement warfare is to destroy the enemy. However, the biggest difference from encirclement and annihilation warfare is that the so-called elimination of the enemy is to truly kill a large number of enemies!
Considering the current situation of the guerrilla republic, which captured a large number of prisoners of war, the military and civilians were actually unwilling to do so! Almost all civilians had family members killed by the German army, and their simple long-cherished wish was to kill an enemy personally.
If there was any tactic that could eventually cause the enemy to die on the battlefield on a large scale other than killing prisoners, the only tactic Yang Mingzhi could think of was the tactic of encircling a point and calling for reinforcements.
This tactic was used by him in the first battle against Homnich. The German 707th Division successfully took the bait. The battle eventually turned into a melee with thousands of men from both sides, and the 284th Division achieved its first major victory.
It was a great victory that the military and civilians talked about, and Yang Mingzhi naturally wanted to repeat it!
"In this battle, the four battalions dispatched in total will all obey Balzen's command! I know you may be dissatisfied. This is an order and you must obey it! In addition, this battle is also quite special. I really have no plan requirements.
You liberate Loev in one go! In my opinion, this city is an excellent bait, just like Homnich half a year ago. We surrounded Loev and let the enemy know that our troops are approaching the city!
We know that the closest enemies to our army are the German 707th Division and the 722nd Division. These two troops are old rivals of our army! I really hope they can be as simple as they were half a year ago and send large troops to rescue Luo
Once they really do this, there will be no need for you three regiments to quarrel! At that time, all of you will come to the front for me! We will fight another big battle!"
These words inspired the soldiers' fighting enthusiasm!
Yevlov said enthusiastically: "In this case, we should issue combat orders to all troops! After all, we are no longer what we used to be. The combat troops alone are close to 20,000 people!"
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "That's true. But there are only eight thousand elite troops, and the combat effectiveness of the rest of the troops is not high!"
Yang Mingzhi said these words without any taboo against Peronsky and Medvedev. These two people are actually self-aware. However, some words are not easy to say directly, so he changed his tone: "This battle is different from the previous one."
The mode of war is similar to that of the war. The main force is responsible for the most difficult troops, and the other troops serve as strategic reserves. If the enemy attacks in an all-out manner, we have no choice but to send all the troops over. Now, officers, stand at attention!"
Then, Yang Mingzhi walked to the map wall, picked up the stick in his hand, and began to announce the formal battle plan.
Yang Mingzhi's plan is divided into three stages.
The first stage is the troop encirclement period. In this stage, the Special Mixed Regiment surrounded Loev without attacking, and only used constant cold guns and artillery to eliminate the exposed enemies, announcing that the Soviet troops were approaching the city, forcing the enemy to ask for help. Among them, the paratrooper brigade
A battalion of the battalion first arrived at the left bank of the Dnieper River through Missi Ferry, and then went north from there to attack the enemy's bridgehead and prevent the enemy from escaping from the bridge. In this battle, the only Type 1224 gunboat provided shelling cover in the water.
In the second stage, the remaining troops of the 1st and 2nd regiments of the 284th Division were transferred to Homnich and camped in the forest. All members of the paratrooper brigade arrived on the left bank of the Dnieper River through the Misi Ferry and set up an ambush in the forest.
Once the main force of the German army wants Loev to increase its troops, the headquarters will order specific units to block the attack.
In the third stage, if the enemy's main force counterattacks in an all-out manner, the entire armed force of the guerrilla republic will launch an all-out counterattack. If the enemy terminates its counterattack, the siege troops will immediately occupy Loev.
