Chapter 243: Deployment

Zhang Wei returned to the position at a very fast speed, and during the period of contact with the rear, there was no Japanese attack on the main position, and everyone performed their duties in their respective combat positions, Zhang Wei did not dare to slack off, and immediately called three company commanders, as well as two battalion commanders of friendly forces, and issued a specific plan for attacking.

"When the battle defense artillery comes, the mountain artillery will bombard the Japanese position, and the preparation battalion will be equipped with battle defense artillery to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese position, and the attack force cannot be too much, so we can only let the battalion go up." After speaking, Zhang Wei looked at the commanders of the first and second battalions of the friendly army, the preparation battalion was the strongest, Zhang Wei seemed to have the command of three infantry battalions, but the basic face work still had to be done, and when he looked at the friendly troops, he was asking for their opinions.

The two battalion commanders of the friendly army were like mirrors in their hearts, and they knew very well that with the combat effectiveness of their own troops, it would be extremely difficult to fight this kind of battle, and they all nodded happily, and at the critical moment, no one would be too entangled in this kind of thing.

"Let's see, this is a sketch of the Japanese army's defense, after the artillery bombardment begins, our battalion, equipped with war defense artillery to attack forward, two battalions of friendly troops in the trenches on standby defense, mountain artillery fire will suppress and kill the fighters in the Japanese foxhole, at this time, our department advances, in addition to the battle defense artillery, the 82 mortar will also attack with the team, after the mountain artillery cover stops, it will play a proper suppressive role."

"I plan to use the first company and the second company to directly launch a surprise attack on the Japanese position, and the third company will serve as a battalion reserve, and protect the battle defense artillery and mortars, and when the battle defense artillery destroys the enemy fortress and the forward infantry breaks through the Japanese position, the two friendly battalions and the third company of our reserve battalion, all the infantry listen to the signal, carry out a large-scale attack on the Japanese position, and completely break the Japanese defense line."

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he gave the officers around him time to think, and the attack plan needed to be closely coordinated, not only to ask the officers to think, but also to check and fill in the gaps and see if there were any mistakes or omissions in the attack plan.

"When are we going to launch a full-scale attack?" The commander of a friendly battalion asked.

"What's the signal?"

The two battalions of the friendly army need to launch an attack in the final stage of the offensive, which will involve the problem of mutual connection, Zhang Wei said that the coordinated attack, but did not say what to contact, at the beginning of the battle, the environment of the entire battlefield will be quite chaotic, if the communication between each other is not arranged, when the battle begins, it will inevitably cause greater chaos.

"I was negligent."

After the two companies attacking tore the breakthrough in the Japanese position, they needed the cooperation of two battalions of friendly forces to capture the Japanese position with a large number of troops, and when the Japanese position was broken through and there was chaos, Zhang Wei could see it, but the friendly troops in the main position may not be able to see it.

Although it was dark late in May, it was not bright at five o'clock, and if the attack had not been done when it was time to attack, giving the Japanese army a chance to breathe, it would have really been a failure.

Zhang Wei couldn't think of a way for a while, he didn't have a walkie-talkie in his hand, so he couldn't let the communication soldiers notify the attack.

"Blame me, as soon as the fight starts, the battlefield is chaotic, and when you attack, you rely on the naked eye, and you can judge the situation ahead."

"Hey, do we have a trumpeter?" Qiu Wei looked at the two company commanders of the friendly army and asked.

"Yes, our battalion of trumpeters is still there." Said the commander of a friendly battalion.

The preparation battalion did not have efficient communication equipment, but the trumpet was a good thing, and as soon as the trumpet of the charge was blown, it was time to attack.

"Then please ask the friendly forces to seconded us the trumpeters."

"Yes!"

With the trumpeters, the attack liaison communication is much smoother, the basic attack plan and arrangement have been almost explained, the next thing is to wait for the artillery to be bombarded, wait for the artillery pulled up from the rear, the commanders of the friendly battalions return to their respective positions, and Zhang Wei, as the commander of the main attack force, also have to coordinate the attack order of each company.

It is certain to take the first and second companies as the main attack, the third company as a reserve, covering all kinds of artillery fire, the rear 82 mortar platoon with the advance of the team to attack, after the company commander clarified the task, returned to their respective companies, and gave orders to the subordinate platoon commander squad leader, Zhang Wei also drew a platoon of the second company to the rear, to receive the battle defense artillery, after the war defense artillery entered the combat area, it was impossible to use mules and horses to continue to pull the artillery, and could only rely on manpower to push the artillery, Zhang Wei sent a platoon to strengthen the marching speed of the war defense artillery and assist them in pushing the war defense artillery.

After all the arrangements were made, except for the soldiers who had a task, the rest of the men sat in the trenches to prepare for the battle, clean up, do a simple polishing of the bayonets, replenish the bullets and grenades, and wait for the order to attack.

The military horn is the most primitive means of communication and liaison of the army, with a long history, the national army is also equipped with a special division of the buglemen, the reason why the preparation battalion is not not unprepared, under normal circumstances, all battalion-level units should be equipped with buglers, and the things that the buglers have to blow during the battle are not complicated, the most important thing, a charge horn, a retreat horn, when the troops need to act in unison, the horn is extremely useful, fight together, go together, and do not use the bugle soldiers in other complex tactics.

Zhang Wei looked through the telescope at the Japanese position in the distance, a company of feints of the dead soldiers corpses were still left alone in front of the Japanese position, and after a while, the front position was not only those few corpses, the fortress on the Japanese position was clearly visible, the surrounding foxholes looked empty, and there were spare bullets and a small number of construction tools scattered near the foxholes.

Zhang Wei knew that as long as he launched an attack, the Japanese troops and hidden ammunition drilled out of the anti-artillery holes would be filled in front of the various foxholes and standing fortifications, and the dense bullets would be fired at his brothers.

After coming to this era and personally participating in this Great Patriotic War, I realized how nonsense the so-called anti-Japanese "dramas" in the previous life were, the protagonist of the drama, a few shots can knock out several Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers were killed when they threw out a grenade, those so-called screenwriters know that the Chinese army is composed of thousands of untrained peasant brothers, in this era, how can it be as easy to completely kill a Japanese soldier as in TV.

In the face of a country that has been thoroughly modernized and has a complete industrial system, what China needs is a strong army and a government that is strong enough to support it.

What the Chinese army needs is a war machine, but unfortunately, behind them, there are only one village......

Victory always comes at a price.
