Chapter 964: First Arrival in Jindong (4)

As a general with outstanding military talents, the future general of the Republic knows a truth. That is, on such a campaign-level battlefield, knowing your allies is even more important than knowing your enemies.

Ignorance of your opponents will make you passive, but ignorance of your allies will lead you to ruin without realizing it.

Whether it is the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army, the Northwest Army, or the Sichuan Army, the personality characteristics and combat methods of all the generals are among his understanding.

Although Liu Lang is only a colonel, this newcomer who has sprung up in China's war against Japan in the past four years does not mention that he is already a red sequence and is the most trustworthy comrade-in-arms, only his performance in the 32-year Songhu War of Resistance and the 33-year Great Wall War of Resistance, he is worthy of the future general's study of his tactical characteristics.

In the Songhu War of Resistance, he only led more than 20 small soldiers, and when the Japanese army was pressing, he did not retreat or flee, but sailed against the current, taking advantage of the loopholes that the Japanese army was not familiar with the battlefield, and directly penetrated the headquarters of the enemy wing, and used an infantry gun to decapitate the operation. Although it succeeded, the odds were really pitiful, and there was an element of bad luck.

In addition to the commendable courage, the rest is really not enough to make the future general, the first phase of Huangpu, known as the Huangpu Sanjie, a high-tech production student very interested. On the contrary, Liu Lang led more than 20 remnants of the army to defend the trenches and the two squads that pursued them.

If the place is changed, the future general will think for a long time, and he will not feel that he will not do better than him. Divide the small strength of the army by one-third to the flank, and resist it with an infantry gun with only a few shells, an eighteen infantry and a light machine gun, and a Japanese squad of forty-five people, two light machine guns and two grenadiers. The best thing is that after the shells were finished and the machine gun bullets were exhausted, there was a counter-charge that everyone didn't expect, and a dozen or so people faced the counter-charge of the Japanese army who was twice as large as themselves, and more than a dozen people actually wiped out a Japanese squad that had been disabled.

At this time, it was no longer a question of how high his individual force value was, but courage, and only unparalleled courage could jump out of the trench where bullets could be dodged, and charge against the shining bayonets of the Japanese invaders.

From this point of view, Liu Lang's use of tactics in that battle may not be unattainable, but the courage to die with the enemy is extremely eye-catching, just luck, but not necessarily able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Of course, he deserves to get the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal in the end, but not many people can beat a Japanese Major General and Japanese Emperor Dazuo to ashes with one shot.

In the battle of the Great Wall, Liu Lang, who had already commanded a regiment, was even more amazing, arriving at the battlefield a month ahead of schedule, and almost hollowing out a mountain into a defensive fortress first reflected his anticipation of the enemy, which was already ahead of 90% of the generals of the unified army. Replaced by the future general, I am not sure that the Japanese invaders do not need to attack Xifengkou with the main force and attack the unknown Luo Wenyu, but the Japanese invaders did this, and they were very stupid to send a brigade to the fortress to touch the head and break the bloodstream, no, it was directly killed. Then he sent a division to take revenge. As a result, the classic anti-slope fortifications prevented their heavy artillery, not to mention, the most amazing thing is that this Colonel Liu still seemed to know that their heavy artillery would be placed in that position, and he ambushed all the way there for 8 days, and finally came a perfect sneak attack to knock out the sharpest teeth of the Eighth Division.

If it is said that Colonel Liu Lang and Liu have already demonstrated his genius command ability by relying on the fortifications built by the enemy in anticipation of the enemy's first construction and knocking out the enemy's artillery with strange soldiers, then it is another manifestation of his superb military talent.

However, Liu Lang's military genius was not finished after defeating the Eighth Division, and he actually began to pursue with the artillery captured by the Japanese invaders, no longer nostalgic for his strong fortifications, not afraid of the enemy from the rear, nor afraid of the bombardment from the sky, and looked like Lao Tzu would beat the water dogs even if he died, and thousands of people began to chase after more than 10,000 Japanese troops in the Rehe hills.

After the war, when the Red Cadre Regiment studied and discussed the battle of Liu Lang's Independent Regiment, there were different opinions in the cadre regiment, but most of the views were that Liu Lang was a stunned young man, with a gambling mentality, and completely disregarded the life and death of the soldiers in order to expand his military exploits.

From the analysis of the battle situation at that time, if the main force of the Japanese army that had already entered the Great Wall immediately returned to pursue and intercept the thousands of people led by Liu Lang, even if there was no Japanese air force to participate in the war, Liu Lang and his subordinates would probably never be able to return to the south of the Great Wall, and the best outcome would be to escape to the mountains of Rehe to fight guerrillas.

However, the future general didn't think so, Liu Lang's several military operations seemed to be relatively reckless, but which of his gambling "recklessness" did not succeed? Without exception, all succeeded. One success can be said to be luck, but two or three times is by no means justified by luck alone. For this reason, the future general specially checked the battle reports of those ten days, and since their whole army went out to pursue the Eighth Division, not a single Japanese bomber appeared in the sky, because the weather conditions were bad and the plane could not take off. The main force of the Japanese army, which had already attacked the Great Wall, was also pinned down by the 100,000 troops of the Nationalist army, and the Chinese and Japanese sides began to sit at the negotiating table, and there was no situation of returning to help the Eighth Division break the siege.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Japanese army base camp, forcing China to sit on the negotiating table and gain control of the springboard of Rehe is far more important than the more than 10,000 people of the disabled Eighth Division.

The future general couldn't help but associate what happened later with Liu Lang's resolute pursuit of Luo Wenyu with the army. What if this is something that Liu Lang had already thought about before sending troops? A tactical-level battle, but he took into account the political confrontation between the two countries and the weather, so such a general of the first army is not a military genius, so who can deserve this title?

Such a genius-level teammate is definitely something that any general likes very much.

It can be said that before coming to Niangzi Pass, the future general had already understood this comrade brother thoroughly, even better than Liu Lang himself.

If the enemy is the one who knows him best, then the friend who is afraid of meeting "pig teammates" is actually the same.

So when Liu Lang came to worship the dock with a gift with great fanfare, the future general knew some of this careful thoughts, and I am afraid that he came to pull friendly troops to fight the Japanese army together! However, with the boldness of the future general, I didn't expect that this one pull would be his entire brigade of 5,700 people. What a big appetite!

plus his own more than 3,000 people, there are 10,000 small people, this is the meaning of fighting a wing of little devils?

For the upcoming 20th Division of the Japanese Army, the future general still knows about it, which is the A Division of the Japanese Army. Not to mention that the equipment of a division of 25,000 people requires two armies of the national army to contend with, just talking about the most important combat unit of the Japanese army, a field wing, three infantry brigades, a total of more than 3,800 people, each brigade is equipped with 8 heavy machine guns, 24 light machine guns and 24 grenadiers, as well as 2 70 mm infantry guns, and the wing also directly administers an artillery squadron, 4 75 mm mountain guns, 4 70 mm infantry guns, and 4 37 mm rapid-fire guns, and the heavy firepower of the whole wing far exceeds that of a national army division.

As for the equipment of more than 5,700 people in the 386 Brigade, just thinking about it, the hearts of the future generals are dripping blood. If it weren't for the equipment that Liu Lang used as Liu Shang's support last time under the pseudonym, the original only cannon was two old 82-caliber mortars that he had bought from the old Han in Shanxi, and the shells did not exceed 30 rounds, the main rifle was also made in old-fashioned Hanyang, and there were only seven or eight machine guns.

However, even with Liu Lang's support, the three divisions and six brigades plus the remaining troops guarding northern Shaanxi were not much for him. With only 4 mortars and 8 Type 24 heavy machine guns, the 386 Brigade is already a heavy equipment comparable to a Japanese brigade as a treasure.

With the quality of his own soldiers, the future general still has confidence in the more than 2,000 people of a regiment under his command and a brigade of the Japanese invaders, but there is a big gap in the firepower of the whole brigade against the previous wing.

Therefore, no matter how fat the guts of the future generals are, they still think that Liu Lang wants to eat a Japanese wing with his No. 5700 people, and he never thinks about it bigger.

However, the future general still underestimated Liu Tuanzuo's appetite. The independent regiment that defeated the 8th Division in World War I, where will only stare at a field wing of the Japanese army? The Japanese really think too highly of themselves.

With all kinds of weapons that the Independent Regiment has been painstakingly operating for four years and has never slackened in training, the 3,000 regular troops of the Independent Regiment are capable of a brigade of the Anti-Japanese Army on the frontal battlefield. You must know that when the red polar bear Katyusha first entered the battlefield, he beat the elite of the Third Reich with a blue nose and swollen face.

"You need the help of my whole army, hehe, the kid has a big appetite, okay, the map is here, can you tell me that the ugly man is removed, what does it matter if my old Chen sacrifices his life to accompany the gentleman to accompany you after reporting to Senior Commander Liu?" After a brief period of astonishment, the future general put the teacup in his hand on the table, pointed to the map, and replied with a heroic voice.

"No, no, there is still a protagonist who hasn't come, Chief Chen don't be impatient." Liu Lang also pretended to be mysterious at this time.

"Report." At this moment, Xiao Shanzi, an orderly outside the door, shouted a report.
