184. New-style military training
"Self-satisfied, last time I gave you four mountain guns and twelve anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, this time I gave you twelve mountain guns, and the shells also left you with four thousand eight hundred rounds. As long as you form two more machine gun companies, it will be enough for you to form an artillery battalion. First aid medicine leaves you a part, after all, the wounded are in the base area. ”
Bai Shujie couldn't stay for a long time, so he pulled Hou Zide aside and explained: "All the guns are left to you, and you can take care of the bullets yourself, and you can keep as many as you want." The burden of Chifeng will be handed over to you, so be careful. The little devil has suffered a big loss, you have to be prepared for air defense. ”
Back at the Bawang Cave Headquarters, Bai Shujie asked Shi Liancheng to send 24 mountain guns and ammunition to the armory, and the medicine to the field hospital, and Gan Tong had already returned.
"The remaining little devils in Duolun only have two squads of more than a hundred people, so let a militia brigade have a good workout." Gan Tong reported simply: "Shi Liancheng, this kid, defeated the two machine gun squadrons of the little devils, and he didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, so the militia brigade picked up a bargain." I've temporarily formed an independent battalion over there, called the Duolun Independent Battalion, which is responsible for Duolun's guards. Eight heavy machine guns and thirty-six light machine guns were brought back, as well as twenty-four mortars. ”
Bai Shujie was a little puzzled: "Since you have formed the Duolun Independent Battalion, don't you leave the machine gun behind?" ”
"You don't know, there's stuff everywhere that doesn't have time to load the truck!" Gan Tong stared at Shi Liancheng fiercely: "The little devil's baggage supplies, weapons and ammunition have just been half loaded. Half of it was left, and I pulled it all back. The Duolun Independent Battalion was fully equipped with a field battalion and was reinforced with a heavy machine-gun company with a total of 987 men. ”
"Haha, this time we got rich, and there are one hundred and twenty cars." Bai Shujie had already seen a car driving into the base, and there were sixty of them! All the cars were full of supplies, I don't know what they were.
"It's certain that we'll get rich, but the little devils will definitely get revenge." Gan Tong was a little worried: "I don't know what way the little devil will retaliate." ”
"There's no way around it, don't we fight because we're worried about the little devil's revenge?" Bai Shujie said disappreciatively: "The little devil's resources are limited, and battles like this will have to be fought many times in the future, completely disrupting the little devil's logistics supply system." ”
Gantong's worries did not materialize, because the defeat of Duolun gave Okamura Ninji more reasons to negotiate. The Kwantung Army Command and the Main Island Military Headquarters also believed that they were not ready for a full-scale war at present, and that it was imperative to be able to buy a certain amount of time through negotiations to completely stabilize Manchuria, Mongolia, and Rehe.
The little devil suffered a dumb loss because he was caught off guard and was not ready to increase his troops. In turn, Bai Shujie took a big advantage.
Since the little devil was not ready to retaliate, Bai Shujie carried out a new round of large-scale training in the whole detachment after telegraphing with Gan Tong, Zhao Jinxi and Hou Zide. Because this time many new weapons were captured, which were already able to be used as standard equipment. For example, Gan Tong brought back 360 grenadiers, plus 120 of them from Hou Zide's side, you can equip 240 combat squads!
Because Shi Liancheng's kid had a temporary idea, and then it triggered a scuffle, and then more than 20,000 people were involved, and the enemy and us fought in a daze for eight days, and Sakamoto Masaemon's department was defeated and lost, and Bai Shujie's department naturally won a big victory.
Sakamoto Masaemon held a campaign review meeting, and after consulting commanders at all levels, he came to the conclusion that there should be 100,000 to 150,000 regular troops on the Chengde front, which was much more difficult to deal with than Tang Yulin at the beginning. The key is that the current defenders of Chengde are not afraid of the Japanese Imperial Army, which is simply incredible!
No matter what the little devil thinks, Bai Shujie believes that a new round of large-scale military training is urgent. During the 918 Incident, although Bai Shujie made a batch of artillery for Huang Xiansheng's police corps, most of them were brought back by himself. Among them, 128 75mm mountain guns and 156 75mm field guns have been captured, and now 36 75mm field guns and a large number of shells have been captured, which can form 10 artillery battalions.
In addition, 24 105mm field cannons were captured by the little devils, but unfortunately their own arsenal could not produce shells. Because of the current shortage of shells, the 105mm field cannon is of little use for the time being.
This time, the new type of training is first of all the grenadier use skills of the combat squad, and then the operation of the 75mm mountain gun and field artillery. Fortunately, many officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army were originally collected, especially Zhang Xiang and Gan Tong were stuck in the more than 4,500 rout troops of the Kwantung Army, and there were a lot of jishu troops in it.
The other is the problem of the operation of the twin anti-aircraft guns, because the day before yesterday Tom came again, leaving behind seventy-two anti-aircraft guns and 200,000 shells, and scraping away half of the gold bars in Gantong's inventory. As a symbol of friendship, Tom "gifted" 360 Jeggalev light machine guns and 10 million rounds of ammunition to Gan Tong.
weishenme is called a gift, because Gan Tong didn't pay!
It's not that Tom doesn't want money, it's that Gan Tong can't take out so much money. In addition, Tom could not wait any longer, because he found that the Chinese and Japanese governments were already in a row, and it seemed that there was no war. Since there is no war, these weapons are useless, so they can simply give them away!
Because Bai Shujie once "generously" prepaid a large amount of money, Tom completely got rid of the word "poverty". Although silver fell sharply later, he didn't make much money, but he can't blame Bai Shujie for not being there. Therefore, in Tom's opinion, in the whole of China, except for Bai Shujie, there is no one who can be hooked with the word "generosity"!
Long live friendship!
So, at last, Tom was generous, because he was ready to wash his hands and never do the business of reselling arms again. Tom is generous, and Bai Shujie has taken another big advantage.
Bai Shujie first saw the Deggalev light machine gun when he was waiting for the 240 captured during the raid on the railway station of Changmaozi. Later, Tom didn't know where to get 240 guns and sent them, plus 360 this time, the total number has reached 840, and the stock of ammunition also has 11.4 million rounds.
The structure of the Deg Galev light machine gun is simple, the whole gun has only 65 parts, the manufacturing process is not demanding, even an apprentice can build it, it is suitable for mass production, and the mechanism of the gun is reliable. The gun has a total length of 1270 mm, a barrel length of 605 mm, 4 right-handed rifling wires in the barrel, a high line of fire of 276 mm, a total mass of 9.1 kg (excluding the cartridge), and a 47-round cartridge feed.
The Deg Galev machine gun, although it is a light machine gun, is actually a "heavy" machine gun for Chinese of moderate stature. The machine gun itself is not the heaviest, but its 47-round cartridge is 3.5 kilograms, or seven pounds. If it's 100 rounds of bullets, it's more than ten pounds!
Because of this, there is a need for military training. Through a wide selection process, people were found who could use this machine gun. In groups of three, carry seven rounds of 100 rounds, or ten rounds of 47 rounds.
Grenadier operators, machine-gun shooters, artillery shooters, artillery sighters, car drivers, and so on are the most important contents of this new-style military training.
The main purpose of this training is that Bai Shujie hopes to achieve multi-arm and large-scale group operations. It seems that in the future, either there will be no fighting, and a dozen may be a war of tens of thousands of people. Because of the development of the situation, it completely deviated from Bai Shujie's original idea.
When he first crossed over, he just wanted to find a few like-minded brothers, and then give full play to his special scout's strengths, drill into the stomach of the little devil and make trouble in the heavenly palace, killing as many as he could.
However, since he gained a little fame, he was pushed to the forefront. If you want to go back to the time when you could be a turtle with a shrunken head, that's gone forever.
Just like this time, what he originally wanted was just a small act similar to a decapitation operation turned out to be a large-scale battle that stretched hundreds of kilometers and nearly 20,000 people participated. If you connect all the processes together, it's basically a campaign.
When the battalions carried out large-scale military training, the military commanders at the brigade level naturally could not escape. All of them were caught by Bai Shujie at the headquarters for closed teaching. Those who cannot graduate will be dismissed on the spot!
Gan Tong, Zhao Jinxi, Zhang Xiang, Hou Zide, Daisen Dari, Dari Achi, Battle, Han Qingfen, Shi Liancheng, Yang Zhaodi, Lan Caiqin, Peng Cuiyun, Cheng Shijie, Duan Zhixian, Lu Ming, Wang Kaishan, Zhu Youpeng, Qi Hongyi, Du Guangyuan, Deng Xiuyan, Xu Chenglong, Liu Quanyu, Cui San'er, Xia Enze, Ma Deyao, Liu Feipeng, Ji Changnian, Cao Fengxiang and other 28 people participated in this advanced training class. Also attending as observers were Sheng Zhiguo, Qin Yuefang, Yang Erya, Yang Guihua, Qiu Shufen and others.
What to learn? Development and implementation of the campaign jihua! Planning a battle and planning a campaign are two different things!
Combat jihua only needs to consider tactical reconnaissance, personnel on both sides, weapon allocation, logistics and supply, surrounding enemy situation, preset battlefield, access channels, etc., and then you can formulate combat jihua and then put it into practice.
Battles are different, first of all, there are macro things such as strategic reconnaissance, political influence, environmental constraints, economic capabilities, and even diplomacy; Then there are the issues of tactical reconnaissance, the design of the campaign, the unfolding of the campaign, the course of the campaign, the planning of the battle, and the handling of the aftermath.
If it can be summed up in one sentence: battles can be carried out covertly, and battles are open secrets! If I want to add one sentence, it is: a battle can turn into a battle, and a battle can never turn into a battle! If you want to make it clear, that is: the battle is a small local friction, and the battle is a major event related to the overall situation!
Bai Shujie also knew that these military supervisors around him did not have much contact with this aspect, so the examples he chose were all various battles of the anti-Japanese detachment itself.
Then it started with the analysis of the deployment of the little devil's troops, and then the Black Mountain Blocking Battle, the Fuxin Defensive Battle, the Chifeng Raid Battle, and the Zuihou is to seize Chifeng and Chengde, so there is the current situation.
"Brothers, it can be seen from this example that through this series of battles, we have achieved a goal, that is, to capture Chifeng and Chengde. And this result directly changed the strategic pattern of the entire Rehe and even the entire North China. You can think about it, if we hadn't implemented this campaign and Tang Yulin had escaped again, what would have been the situation today? ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
