Chapter 233: Stuffy Fighting
PS: Bow to thank the students of the Chinese People's Liberation Army for the second precious monthly ticket, and three bows to thank you!!!
Dong Ku knew very well that if Lao Maozi's thoughts were not contained, there would be no peace in Hulin, and it would make the bearded man who was blocked in his footsteps angry, and finally make the war burn more fiercely. And from the attention of the outside world, Lao Maozi has a reason to do it, after all, their towns were ransacked, although it is a shame, once the bearded man claims to the outside world that he is regaining his dignity, then, the United States and other Western powers have no reason to intervene, and the bearded man can start a war in a grand manner, and himself, although the other party provoked first, but the war of words can't stop the real knife and gun, and in the end he is isolated still has to rely on strength.
The cleaning of the battlefield went very smoothly, and after the defending troops on guard in the distance sniped several waves of Japanese scouts, the Japanese army also gave up the idea of returning to the battlefield to collect the remains of the soldiers. In addition to hating the Chinese even more, they have nothing to do.
It was very dark, the battlefield was cleaned smoothly, and even the scrap iron shells that were blown away by the shock wave were found in the snow by these ordinary people who lived carefully, and it is estimated that there were not many missing.
The harvest this time was very huge, the artillery was the least, and Lao Zhao could leave less than a hundred. There were no less than 50,000 guns, and more than 1,000 light and heavy machine guns, and less than a third were taken away by the Japanese army. There are countless bullets, especially the auxiliary items such as the bullet bucket and bullet plate, which fill the gap in Lao Zhao's hand.
The cannonballs are the most pleasing to Lao Zhao this harvest, the truckload of shells is enough for him to bombard with less than 300 cannons for a period of time, and it is easy to fight two or three large-scale artillery battles, deterrence and suppression, and there is no need to worry about the shells for three or two months. And three or two months later. He can mass-produce it himself, although it may not be able to meet the needs of the war, at least the inventory will not be depleted too quickly.
As for the food and those military supplies, it also solved Lao Zhao's urgent need. Although Dong Ku transported grain to him twice, it could not fill the gap in the rapid increase of troops, which is why Dong Ku ate bud rice flour cakes when he came. They usually don't even dare to be extravagant with pure bud rice noodles, because there is still a long spring to spend, and it will be July and August when the grain comes down.
The joy of victory was quickly transmitted with the steady flow of supplies into Qiqihar, and the streets and alleys were filled with a festive atmosphere. The first big victory, so that the people who experienced the last Jiangqiao Battle spontaneously took to the streets, for those anti-United Nations fighters who came back from transporting supplies, although it was just an egg and a handful of peanuts, but they had already revealed their strong family affection.
Dong Ku walked down the street with the returning guards and five hundred soldiers. Seeing that the enthusiastic people did not ignore them because of their unusual clothing, but forced them to stuff hard-boiled eggs into their bags and stuffed them into their pockets. In addition to being moved, he also understood how correct the view that war needs the support of the people is. Relying on money alone to pave the way, during the three years of the civil war, Lao Chiang had a truck transport brigade aided by the United States, but he was still drowned in more than one million. And even more civilians are in the army.
Looking at the people who were so excited about the victory in a battle, Dong Ku was moved and suddenly remembered something. Block messages.
This reason sprung up in his mind. Now Lao Chiang, under the pressure of his voice, slowed down the pace of encirclement and suppression of the Soviet area, and the Northeast Army was also stationed near Baotou and did not pursue and advance in the direction of Gansu.
The troops also stopped the pace of pursuit, and did not make major military maneuvers except for encounters. But Lao Chiang did not stand up, raised his arms, and shouted to cooperate with the anti-Japanese armed forces in Heilongjiang. Flank the Japanese on both sides and drive them out of China. There was no heavy defense of the Rehe area, or where Yan Laoxi's hundreds of thousands of soldiers were hoarded, and they were staggered with the Japanese army's territory, obviously unwilling to get involved in this war to wipe Xiao Zhang's ass. Nor was it aware of the appetite of the Japanese.
Otherwise, once the situation near Shanhaiguan is tense and even misfired, then Japan will inevitably desperately expand its army and launch a full-scale invasion of China.
And here, there is more than enough defense, not enough offense, once the opponent's plane can take off, it will be difficult to even defend, it will be stuck in the quagmire of steel, difficult development, survival first.
Although they won one victory after another, they all took advantage of the heavy snow and the Japanese army did not understand the opponent's ability and combat methods. Once the Japanese army put away their arrogance in a proper manner and started the battle step by step, they will be at a disadvantage if they can't keep up with the supply of weapons, not to mention that there is a Soviet Union watching from the sidelines.
Therefore, it is very necessary to avoid provoking the Japanese army, dragging them in the three eastern provinces, and waiting for their own weapons to be released, and then carry out a counterattack. Otherwise, once the Japanese army now launches an invasion of China, Lao Chiang, who is inferior in weapons, will not be able to stop the offensive at all, nor will he be able to stop the Japanese army's footsteps into the hinterland of the Central Plains. And they have no ability to prevent the Japanese army from entering the customs, even if they add Lao Zhao, they will be in vain.
He thought as he walked, and he didn't even bother to return the eggs stuffed in his pocket, and as the transport team entered the barracks, he hurried to see Lao Zhao.
Lao Zhao listened to Dong Ku's analysis, and muttered for a moment, he believed that Dong Ku said that the Japanese appetite and Japan's occupation of Shanhaiguan had already shown that they were not satisfied with the current harvest and would not be limited to the northeast.
"Good! I listen to you, boring development, anyway, there is no foreign aid, Lao Jiang can't count on it, so we will slowly tinker with it ourselves, fortunately, now we have a fixed base area, with this fertile soil, without foreign aid, we also have the ability to drive away the Japanese invaders! ”
"Lao Zhao, the Japanese army's position is surrounded by mountains and forests, which is suitable for being the forward position of Jiangqiao, and the defense is better than that of Jiangqiao, and the transportation and supply line is not long, and it is suitable for building artillery positions and air defense interception, after the position is cleaned, I think Lao Zhao should seize there."
"That's what I mean, so there are still more than 10,000 troops in the army who haven't withdrawn, waiting for the dark water army to be dispatched to build a defense system there."
Lao Zhao said approvingly: "I always feel that this battle is too easy, more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers threw down a large amount of supplies and collapsed in one blow, this is a bit unreal, if there is another battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to have such an effect." ”
"You're right, this is the suddenness of the artillery battle, and it is also the result of the arrogance of the Japanese army. In addition, the heavy snow is more than one meter deep, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army at all, which is why I didn't let you fight Tailai, so the loss will be very huge, and now we are shouldering the burden of retaking the three eastern provinces, and no one can afford to lose. Not to mention that every battle must be won, but also to minimize the damage of the warriors. ”
"yes......"
Lao Zhao nodded, docked the cigarette with a cigarette butt left in his finger to the next whole cigarette, took a puff and said: "I have injured more than 4,000 soldiers, although this battle has gained a lot, I still feel distressed!" ”
After being silent, Dong Ku was also distressed, but the war inevitably had casualties, and he did not have mood swings because of this.
"Lao Zhao. These 500 soldiers still need to be trained, and I can't leave them here, but the ten instructors are still left to you, and tomorrow you select enough gunners to be transported to the artillery branch on the other side of the river, and I will train you for another day, and the day after tomorrow I will go back with these soldiers, and the ten instructors will return until all your artillery is qualified. ”
"Good!"
With Dong Ku's promise to leave ten instructors. Lao Zhao has a bottom in his heart. He has already seen the gap and does not have strong military literacy. Combat effectiveness cannot keep up.
There was nothing to say all night, and the training on the second day was also extremely smooth, and 500 people taught them hand-in-hand, which was very fast, and by the time Dong Ku led the team to leave Qiqihar, more than 4,000 artillery soldiers had already looked good. At least they can understand the instructions and set the elements, and all that remains is to keep repeating and repeating, and after a month or two, this artillery will be able to fight the Japanese artillery alone without suffering too much.
Dong Ku left before dark. The reason why he left with 500 soldiers was that they needed to train in the snow, and the other was that these soldiers had no sense of belonging except for the blind worship that he was the initiator of the Anti-Japanese War of the Chinese Advance Army and led the Anti-Japanese War, that is, he was not his soldiers in the real sense, and he had to stay with these soldiers for a period of time to run in. And put it to Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao's political work is quite powerful, and he doesn't want to lose control of these soldiers in battle, it's too dangerous.
After Dong Ku returned to Harbin to meet Liu Zhong who had returned from Shuangcheng, the two of them did not sleep all night and drank until dawn.
Dong Ku is very satisfied with the soldiers trained by Liu Zhong, especially the fighting, the personal ability of this soldier is not lower than that of the Huya members, and it is slightly higher than the Flying Tiger team formed by the guards now, after all, they train every day without any miscellaneous matters.
"Liu Zhong, do you know why I asked you to temporarily take the position of commander of the Second Army?"
"Brother Dong, I don't care about the official rank, you also know the way, I just need to follow you to fight devils, and when the devils are over, it is enough to follow you."
"Liu Zhong, I don't have the strength to restrain the large army under my hands, you are the only one of the people I can trust and have the ability, Sun Tao and Shunzi are counted as one, but they have their own responsibilities, and they are stronger than you in personal ability."
Picking up the wine bowl and taking a sip, Dong Ku continued: "Soon we are about to enter the stage of the brutal War of Resistance, as soon as the snow melts, our advantage is gone, next winter, the Japanese army will also have a ski unit into the Northeast, so that is the time to test our core cohesion, and you, you are the restraining person of this core strength, you must have enough strength to balance these veterans of the Northeast Army and the Oroqen warriors, as well as the corps formed by those recruits." ”
Liu Zhong didn't understand it a little, isn't this all a unit formed by Brother Dong, why do you still need to restrain it? Is this differentiation?
Dong Kuzhi said that Liu Zhong had doubts, he paused and continued: "Once the power is great, once the interests are enough, people will change, our troops only have goals and no faith, and they will lack the root of core cohesion, so in addition to working hard in this regard, it is necessary to have a sufficient force to deter these generals, so that they know that once there is a wind and grass, it is enough to perish in minutes." ”
Dong Ku's words Liu Zhong understood, he was not a general, his thinking was not delicate enough, his courage was more than enough and his strategy was insufficient, so being a military commander was really a bit of a duck for him, but as a small number of troops with strong combat effectiveness, he was still competent.
"You say, Brother Dong, what do I need to do?"
"In this way, the soldiers on your island will still be under your control, and after they arrive one after another, they will set up an independent group army, and the commander-in-chief is you, but your other task is to form Huya, to establish a special operations force that can be competent on land, water and in the air, an all-round force, and a force with super individual ability."
"Huya ......"
Liu Zhong's mind flashed pictures of several people dealing with the Japanese army under the leadership of Dong Ku, flashing the ease with which they tortured and killed the Japanese army, he knew better than others the importance of personal combat effectiveness, so this was also the reason why the soldiers on his island were more focused.
"Okay, I'll start selecting the right person today, and I'll temporarily form a special operations team, but it's just ...... Is there a limit to the number of people? ”
"No, as long as you are qualified, you can do it, but there is one point, these people only obey Huya's orders, and only obey the final orders of Chishan Tiger."
Dong Ku said, picked up a telegram on the table and handed it to Liu Zhong.
"Lao Maozi is restless!!"
Liu Zhong looked at it, stared at Dong Ku in shock and anger and asked.
"Yes, it's been a day of fighting today, they launched an attack on Hutou, the number of troops exceeded 30,000, and there are several cavalry cruising between Raohe and Hulin, Mohe has also tentatively attacked, looking for a suitable offensive route."
"Damn!!"
Liu Zhong smashed his fist on the thigh and scolded hatefully: "Don't trouble them, they dare to show their heads......"
Before he finished scolding, he suddenly understood why he didn't see the big army when he came back, there were less than 30,000 people in Shunzi, and the dogs were not there, and Liu Hai was not there. It turned out that they all went to the border to fight against Lao Maozi.
When Dong Ku was in Qiqihar, he received a telegram from Xing Yuan, reporting in detail that Lao Maozi had invested at least 30,000 people to carry out an uninterrupted attack on the 30-odd kilometers of Hutou. When he returned to Harbin, the last telegram said that Lao Maozi did not forget to try to attack at night, in order to find all the firing points, and I am afraid that there will be a big move in the next few days.
"Brother Dong, then I need ......"
Before Liu Zhong's words fell, Dong Ku waved his hand and said: "The troops you tested are not good at snow warfare, you will not participate in the border battles for the time being, and then wait for the soldiers to adapt to the cold and the snow. ”
After a pause, Dong Ku smiled and said: "Lao Maozi doesn't squeak, this is exactly what I want, and I don't want to make a noise, which is also the reason why the Voice of China only plays music recently, I don't want the outside world to know that the Soviets are fighting with us, so it's just right!" ”
Liu Zhong is not good at analysis, and he has just come back, so he doesn't understand what Dong Ku said, and he doesn't care, but there is one thing he knows, his burden is not light, he wants to form a force that completely obeys Dong Ku's orders, an all-round force with superb combat effectiveness, that is, the special operations brigade that Dong Ku said.
