Then it becomes inevitable to go directly to the front line to fight, but there are two ways to fight directly to the front line, one is defensive operation, and the other is offensive operation.
In Zhou Wen's mind, if the mercenary group is used for defensive operations, it will be a waste and sacrifice. Defense means being passively beaten and bombed. No matter how many enemies you kill, your defensive area is also the target of enemy aircraft and artillery.
Target, there will inevitably be a lot of casualties, and this loss and sacrifice is unacceptable to Zhou Wen.
Moreover, defensive operations are equivalent to tying up the hands and feet of the mercenary group. Even if you are superb in martial arts and have superb marksmanship, you will be bombarded by a high density of enemy artillery shells and bombs in a small position. You will be no different from ordinary people.
It's a gray ending.
Only offense can reflect the combat power and lethality of the mercenary group. Offense can better utilize the brothers' flexibility, super physical strength and super tactical ability. Attack can be unexpected, causing greater damage to the enemy and achieving greater results.
The results of the battle, if the right fighter can be captured, can even directly change the outcome of a battle.
What's more, Zhou Wen believes that the 48 combatants in the mercenary group, including himself, have become the most comprehensive commandos in the world in terms of marksmanship and martial arts, assault formations, assault methods, battlefield perception and combat experience.
.As long as the timing and timing of the mercenary group's attack can be unexpected, the enemy's large-caliber artillery and aircraft will have no time to react and will have no effect.
At that time, under the sudden and rapid attack of the mercenary group, any combat unit below the level of the Japanese army brigade will face a devastating blow.
However, one of the necessary conditions for an attack is to have strong fire support. A violent saturation strike must be carried out on the enemy's position or defensive area at the moment before the attack is launched, and most of the enemy's fixed firepower points or fortifications must be destroyed, forming the basis for an assault.
The team opened gaps and passages. This was the purpose of Zhou Wen spending huge sums of money to build a mountain artillery battery, a mortar battery and a machine gun battery.
In the absence of tanks, the coordinated operations of artillery and commandos became the key to winning or losing on the battlefield, which is commonly known as infantry and artillery coordination. The infantry and artillery coordination required by Zhou Wen was trained with reference to the military requirements of later generations, that is
After the last shell explodes, the commando will appear on the enemy's position. This requirement for the artillery is not only to fire accurately, but also to grasp the timing well, and to combine it with the timing of the commando's attack to form a perfect formation.
Very tacit cooperation and eventually became an instinctive reaction.
This is the prototype of the combined operations of various arms of the mercenary group. Therefore, the training results of the two artillery companies will directly affect next year's combat effectiveness, and even affect the lives and fortunes of the brothers in the mercenary group. How dare Zhou Wen be careless.
After several days of training under Zhou Wen's command, he found that both officers and soldiers in the artillery company training were very skilled and precise in artillery control and shooting. They were very good at forced marches and cross-country training without pack horses.
It is worthy of Zhou Wen's investment and training for more than half a year. But the key is that there is no combat experience and there is a lack of grassroots officers with combat experience.
We must know that battlefield conditions are ever-changing and battlefield opportunities are fleeting. At this time, the role of excellent officers is reflected. Xu Dacheng's artillery team alone is not enough. After all, Xu Dacheng and the artillery team have to fight with the mercenary group, and
It is impossible to break up the artillery team and serve as officers of two artillery companies. This really gives Zhou Wen a bit of a headache. The training of officers takes time. It does not mean that you can drill artillery, and you are qualified if you can fire the artillery accurately.
An officer.
Zhong Qibao, the commander of the mountain artillery company, had served as the artillery platoon commander of the Northwest Army before, but only he and a few of the people he brought had some combat experience. The other officers were basically promoted from recruits. According to Zhou Wen's original idea, the attached
The troops will not go to the battlefield for several years. Now that the plan has changed, problems arise.
If Xu Dacheng becomes the commander of all artillery, it would be a pity for his talent as a master artilleryman. Moreover, if Xu Dacheng, an artillery sniper, is missing from the mercenary group's surprise attack, many of the previous tactics will have loopholes, not to mention
It is impossible for Xu Dacheng to replace those gunners and platoon commanders.
We can only put this issue aside for now. If that doesn't work, we can only temporarily dismantle the artillery team and let them temporarily serve as officers. No matter what, next year's Songhu Anti-Japanese War will be decided by Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen not only strengthened military training, but also asked Tian Boguang for his opinions, and asked him to explain in detail to the brothers the basic firepower configuration of the Japanese army, individual soldier skills, and commonly used offensive and defensive tactics. After all, Tian Boguang graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.
After graduation, he served as a junior officer in the Japanese army. Currently, he is the only one who understands the Japanese army best.
Now Tian Boguang and Zi Hui (Chieko) suddenly became popular in the mercenary group. Tian Boguang taught Japanese tactics and Zi Hui served as a Japanese teacher. With her, an authentic Japanese, teaching English, Zhou Yongbin was completely liberated.
You must know that Zhou Yongbin now wears multiple hats, including radio station director of the mercenary regiment, communications section chief of the security department, communications platoon instructor and Japanese instructor. He is the busiest member of the mercenary regiment after Uncle Wu had the support of the logistics company.
People. Now that Zi Hui is here as a Japanese teacher, he can finally specialize in the telecommunications matters that he is best at.
Now even White Horse General Zhao Changshu came after hearing the news and requested that the officers from the garrison headquarters come to listen to Tian Boguang's explanation. The September 18th Incident shocked the Chinese people. At this time, any Chinese soldier with a little bit of national consciousness would
Understand that it is inevitable that China and Japan will eventually go to war.
Speaking of Zhao Changshu, we have to mention Huang Yisheng, the commissioner of the Northeast Army stationed in Taiyuan. On the third day after the September 18th Incident, before Zhou Wen had time to return to Taiyuan, Huang Yisheng said goodbye to Zhao Changshu in tears and hurried to Jinzhou. He asked
Zhao Changshu sent a message to Zhou Wen, saying that he was lucky that Zhou Wen did not give him the design drawings of the semi-automatic rifle, otherwise if the Japanese got it, he would become a national sinner.
Finally, he also said that he was determined to die on this trip and was prepared to remonstrate with the young marshal to resist the Japanese army. However, the marshal still insisted as stated in his external message: "I have already ordered our soldiers not to resist when provoking Japanese soldiers."
." was ordered not to resist, Huang Yisheng would not hesitate to commit suicide on the spot, hoping to make the young marshal change his mind and lead his troops to fight against the Japanese invasion.
After hearing this, Zhou Wen also sighed for this civilian officer of the Northeast Army who was worthy of friendship and good character.
