Air strikes in modern warfare

In Liu Hua's words, the decisive battle of Yushan will be the last war faced by the entire southern Chinese battlefield. And over time, a large number of modern equipment constantly equips the troops. The mode of war that the troops will face, that is, the new modern war, has unwittingly befallen the Chinese army, and the Chinese army needs to adapt to it a little faster and understand him.

The 200,000 elites of the Kwantung Army stationed in the Yushan area were the touchstone used by Liu Hua to train his troops to truly adapt to modern warfare.

Seeing the bold idea proposed by Liu Hua in front of him, it can be called an earth-shattering bold idea. The facial expressions of the commander-in-chief and Zuo Quan have long been described as exaggerated.

Although Zhu De, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed services, he is also very eager for all kinds of nascent tactics, especially the modern warfare that has gradually matured in Western countries, and hopes that his troops will be as familiar with this tactics as possible and avoid the era of backwardness and continuous advance. However, when he heard that Liu Hua in front of him was going to take the entire East China Field Army, almost 500,000 troops, to train and test, he still couldn't help but hesitate.

"Comrade Liu Hua, will this price be too much? The 200,000 Kwantung Army, in the current situation, is not a herd of lambs to the slaughter. If it's not good, the troops you use to train your troops will suffer heavy losses, in that case, will it be a bit more than worth the loss..."The commander-in-chief frowned and persuaded.

"Yes, Commander, wouldn't it be too risky...", the Chief of Staff of Zuo Quan also persuaded with a hesitant expression.

Although the two strategists in front of him have outstanding military command skills on the Chinese battlefield, they still do not have a special understanding of the increasingly mature modern warfare model of Western countries. Liu Hua nodded noncommittally, and then said with great certainty.

"Boss, Chief of Staff. This is not an exaggeration by me, Liu Hua, I can only tell you that the real power of modern warfare is not as simple as we imagined. Here, I would like to assure you that I will keep the casualties of my troops to a minimum. If the casualties of the troops exceed 50,000, I will immediately order the troops to stop the attack, adhere to our original tactics, and besiege but not attack...."

Seeing Liu Hua with a persistent face in front of him, he thought of Liu Hua's current identity as the former commander-in-chief of the enemy. In the commander-in-chief's heart, although there was still a little hesitation. [Cyun Kun] [Cyun Kun] [][said][net][]However, out of belief in Liu Hua, coupled with Liu Hua's assurance. After less than five seconds of contemplation, the final decision was made.

Comrade Liu Hua is still a sentence that has been repeated many times. You are our former enemy commander-in-chief, and you have the final say on the entire campaign, so, I agree with your decision...."

With the approval of the commander-in-chief, in the next deployment of troops, Liu Hua will be at ease... The army units that had just been reequipped, and even several tank regiments and armored regiments that had just been formed by the East China Field Army, were all advancing towards Yushan, the site of the decisive battle, with the rumble of engines...

A few days went by in the blink of an eye. The 200,000 Kwantung Army, with its rich combat experience, quickly built a solid military fortress with Yushan as the center. The East China Field Army, also under the orders of the former enemy headquarters, gathered almost all of its main forces around Yushan, totaling 400,000 elites.

It was only less than a kilometer away from the forward position of the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army on the position of the East China Field Army. In previous battles, the 136th Regiment, which has long been listed as the first-class main force of the whole army, has become the first batch of army units in the Chinese army to be reequipped.

As a result of this rearmament, the total strength of the regiment has reached an astonishing 3,500 troops, including three combat battalions, an artillery battalion, an engineer company, a guard company, a logistics baggage company, a motor transport company, and a communications platoon. …,

The artillery battalion consisted of a field artillery battery, a mountain artillery battery, and a heavy mortar battery, totaling 24 large and small caliber guns.

In addition to the nine light machine guns converted from the arsenal, the remaining personnel of the guard company directly under the regimental headquarters were all equipped with submachine guns. In terms of firepower density alone, it is enough to be equivalent to a standard infantry brigade of the Japanese army.

Look at the three combat battalions, each infantry battalion has three infantry companies, a mortar company, a guard platoon, a baggage platoon, and a communications squad.

Three infantry companies, each with three infantry platoons, one heavy machine gun platoon, and one guard squad.

Each infantry platoon has three infantry squads, one grenadier squad and one bazooka squad, including three grenadiers and one bazooka.

Each infantry squad consisted of twelve people, armed with one modified light machine gun, two submachine guns, and eight semi-automatic rifles.

Seeing that it was a new look, the new infantry regiment whose firepower was almost at the limit, the face of the regiment commander, almost when he slept, was smiling.

"Look at everything, and don't take care of your own troops. When the time comes, if the company drops the chain for me, I will shoot whoever it is..."Seeing a group of battalion and company commanders behind him with the same smile on their faces, the regiment commander scolded angrily.

However, as soon as his words fell, the excited voice of the regiment headquarters communications platoon commander reached everyone's ears.

"Regiment commander, division headquarters combat order ...."

"***, after waiting for so long, I finally waited for the order. Read...."The excited head of the regiment couldn't help but burst out with a foul word, and said excitedly.

"Yes, the regimental commander ordered that after half an hour, an attack on the current Japanese position should be launched, and the battle must be ended and the enemy position occupied within half an hour. In addition, during the attack, the headquarters will send three bombers and a battalion of heavy artillery to support us...," replied the platoon commander of the communications beat.

"There is even air force and heavy artillery support, and this time I have to show off in front of the little devil once. The order was given, and the whole regiment was ready for battle. In this attack, the first battalion was the main attack, and the second and third battalions were flanked to cover the attack. Artillery battalion, which provides artillery support to the infantry. Is it clear that the remaining troops, as reserves, are ready to attack at any time? The wealthy regiment commander ordered with a confident face.

"Clear...."

I saw the subordinates in front of me who were high in morale and had an eager expression. The regimental commander continued to shout: 'When you know it, let me go down and prepare.' It's all for me, this is our first battle since we changed our clothes, and we must fight it well. Show the fraternal troops what modern warfare is, our regiment has lived up to the trust of the commander-in-chief, and has not wasted a month-long new military training in vain. “

"Yes, Commander...."

Half an hour, in the anxious waiting of a group of subordinates, passed in a blink of an eye. Just when everyone was gearing up, clenching the weapons in their hands, waiting for the order to attack. Three loud engine roars reached the ears of everyone on both sides of the battlefield.

"Buzz....planes, it's bombers, our bombers are coming...."As the roar of the aircraft engines became louder and louder, the huge figures of the three American bombers also appeared clearly above everyone's heads. For a moment, the entire position immediately remembered the deafening exclamations of the fighters ...

On the Japanese position, which was less than a kilometer away from the position, seeing the arrival of three bombers, the position that had just been silent and silent fell into chaos in an instant. A group of soldiers, in the shouting and scolding of their respective commanders, like frightened ducks, quickly rushed to the nearest anti-artillery hole....

However, no matter how fast they reacted, they couldn't have been faster, the speed of the plane. An infantry brigade, more than a thousand elite little devils, and half of them were still exposed to the surface positions. A series of sharp whistling sounds were already ringing in the air. ..., heavy aerial bombs, as if they didn't want money, fell on the seemingly very strong positions of the Japanese army.

You must know that before the war, in order to really give full play to the real firepower of the air force, Liu Hua fully used half of the aerial bomb reserves that were transported back from Burma this time. Suffice it to say, if all these bombs were still in Yushan, it would be enough to reduce the height of this Yushan by several meters.

"Boom, boom, boom....", a series of deafening explosions rang out over the Japanese positions. The logs and boulders used by the Japanese army to reinforce their positions were easily thrown into the air at a height of dozens of meters like toys in the face of hundreds of kilograms of high explosives.

Of course, among the logs and boulders that are like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, the little devils who have not yet had time to rush into the anti-artillery hole are also mixed in and thrown high. Not only that, but a soft corpse, just thrown into the sky, was torn to pieces under the huge wave of air, and became boneless...

Round after round, one shell after another, constantly creating bloody storms and rains on the Japanese positions. Trenches reinforced with logs and boulders were easily razed to the ground like papier-mâché. The machine-gun bunkers, which were covered with a thick layer of soil and were not reinforced with cement, had no resistance at all in the face of heavy aerial bombs. Together with the light and heavy machine guns and ghost soldiers inside, they came directly to the center to bloom and were torn to pieces......

In an instant, dozens of aerial bombs carried by three American bombers landed on this Japanese position, which stretched for no more than 1,000 meters......

"***, what kind of bomb is this, so powerful. A bomb goes down, and the little devil's machine-gun bunker disappears... Oh my God, our air force is really powerful...."Through the telescope, I saw the bloody scenes on the Japanese positions, and saw the trenches that were still crisscrossing just now, and they were razed to the ground in the blink of an eye. Every commander of the East China Field Army had a shocked look on his face....
