Chapter 468: What if it's gone?
The reason why this situation occurred in the existing troops of the Seventh Division in front of him was that in Yang Jicai's opinion, in addition to the strength of the Seventh Division that could be put into the front line at this time, it was already strictly insufficient. Only the original engineers, baggage, and other non-combat units can also be put into the front line to participate in the war......
From the current situation, Yang Jicai also judged that the original plan of the Japanese army in front of him was by no means to retreat or wait for reinforcements, but to fight to the death. In other words, it is necessary to ignore the heavy casualties that have been suffered before, but to concentrate all the forces that can be concentrated and strike the final blow.
When the Japanese army was in a desperate situation, it put non-combat units such as baggage soldiers and engineers into front-line operations. Even many times, the habit and practice of using these non-combat troops as substitutes for dead ghosts is not unfamiliar to Yang Jicai or the entire Anti-Japanese Federation, and has not been contacted.
In last year's autumn operation, the Japanese army had already encountered this practice many times. And the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's engineers and baggage soldiers, Yang Jicai is still very clear. Although these so-called baggage soldiers and engineers are non-combat units, their real combat capability is not much worse than that of the regular field troops of the Japanese army.
Although in general, when it is not necessary, it does not participate in battles. But whenever needed, the Japanese often threw them to the front line to fill the shortfall. And these so-called non-combat units of the Japanese army are also units that have completed full training. The difference between its real combat effectiveness and that of regular field units is only in synthetic operations and equipment.
As for the basic use of infantry tactics, as well as shooting training, and even white-knuckle combat, they have all completed the training. When needed, there is absolutely no problem in fighting as an infantryman. It's just that these Japanese troops do not go to the battlefield at ordinary times. Unless the Japanese army is on the verge of desperation and urgently needs to be replenished, it will be strengthened to combat units.
However, although the current Seventh Division has suffered heavy casualties, it has not yet reached that point of being in a desperate situation. The Japanese army's intention to push these non-combat units down on the front line was at least not as simple as it seemed. In doing so, they obviously want to replenish the troops on the front line.
And the reason behind the current replenishment of the front-line strength of the Seventh Division will definitely not be simply the desire to retreat. So if they want to retreat, there is no need to replenish the front-line forces. Even compared to these engineers and baggage soldiers, the Japanese army paid more attention to regular field troops.
However, if the Japanese army replaces the regular troops with these non-combat units, it is still possible to prepare to stay behind and cover the transfer of field troops. However, after these baggage soldiers and sappers arrived at the front line, the regular infantry of the Japanese army did not retreat, but mixed with those non-combat units.
The Japanese army put on such a posture absolutely not because it wanted to stick to the defense, otherwise it would not have enriched all the troops that could be mobilized, including non-combat units that would not normally be put into front-line operations under normal circumstances, to the first-line defense. Because such an approach can only form a defensive posture with no depth on a single line.
A single-layered, defense-free posture with little depth usually collapses the entire line. As long as there is some experience and mobility of the troops, they will not adopt this kind of defensive posture in which there is almost no defense in depth and there is almost no defense in the rear. And with the current strength of the Japanese army, it is definitely not enough to put on such a dangerous posture.
Because the danger brought by the defense of the first line of horizontal push is so great, not only for the army that is generally weak in control. Even an army with extremely strict battlefield discipline such as the Japanese army is the same in this regard. Judging from the current situation alone, I have not observed that the Japanese army is maintaining a large number of troops in depth.
The current situation is that the Japanese army can be said to have pulled all the troops that can be concentrated, that is to say, that can still move, to the front line. Therefore, in Yang Jicai's view, his current troop deployment is still an offensive, at least on the surface. At all, it is not a situation and practice that cannot be reversed and reported.
It's just that the Japanese army is currently forming this situation, but it does not move to attack, and there is nothing to do. Whether it was caused by the chaos of the command system, or because of some other reason, or an illusion made on the surface, Yang Jicai was a little uncertain.
Although Yang Jicai judged the situation of the Japanese army, it was different from what the forward troops had reported before. But looking at the Japanese army, which was now on the offensive and almost defenseless, Yang Jicai thought that this was the best time for him to attack.
Attack by surprise, take advantage of the current offensive deployment of the Japanese army, and oppose the unprepared and precautionary posture of the joint counterattack. It is just right to disrupt the entire deployment of the Japanese army, and in the chaos, you can also find fighters to weaken at least part of the strength of the Japanese army, so as to reduce the pressure for the next encirclement and annihilation operation.
And in Yang Jicai's view, since the Japanese army has formed an offensive deployment. Although it has not yet started, it is a matter of time before the offensive is launched. Since sooner or later we have to fight the battle, if we don't take the lead at this time, will we still wait for the Japanese army to make the first move and be beaten passively?
Needless to say, he also knows the truth that the first strike is strong, and then the first strike suffers. First disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, create a situation of fishing in troubled waters, and then decide on subsequent tactics according to the situation. It's just the lack of troops, so he also knows that he can't eat a fat man in one breath. If you want to solve the problem, you must adopt a variety of methods.
With this now, instead of making Yang Jicai retreat, it strengthened his determination to act. Since the Japanese army in front of him has not made any preparations for local defense at all, if he makes the first move, he will undoubtedly disrupt it for the next step and create a pretty good fighter.
made up his mind to quickly withdraw Yang Jicai, who was in the command of Gou Zaihe. looked at Gou Zaihe in front of him and pondered for a while, but he didn't give him an order first, but turned his head and said to the communication staff officer beside him: "Urge Su Yingqi to speed up the march." ”
"And let them pay attention to the deployment of artillery when marching, and cooperate with the artillery behind them. Let them not take into account the small forces of the Japanese troops along the road, and concentrate all their forces to attack the flank in the direction of Balachrude. If you encounter a large force of Japanese troops along the way, use artillery fire to open the way with all your might. ”
"Tell them not to worry about the shells, and to give priority to being able to reach the combat area required by their superiors in the shortest possible time and to reduce their own casualties. In a word, all the shells have been used up for me, but as long as the people are still alive, they must rush to the designated area on time. ”
After explaining that the communications staff officer urged Su Yingqi to speed up his action, Yang Jicai turned his head to Gou Zaihe in front of him and said: "You are ready to go to war now, it is the preparation of the whole army to fight, not the preparation of a certain army or a certain part of the army in your hands to fight." ”
"But you have to remember that I don't want you to fight to the death, as long as before Su Yingqi and the others arrive, they will be entangled with the less than 2,000 Japanese troops in front of them, and they will not be allowed to get out lightly. I will organize all the artillery fire in the back to cover your attack. ”
After explaining Gou Zaihe's task in a few words, Yang Jicai stopped Gou Zaihe's move to say something and said, "I know that the troops you have on hand now are only half of the enemy's army. But I'm not asking you to encircle the Japanese army in front of you, and I still know how big your belly is now. ”
"What I ask you to do now is to entangle them to the death, disrupt their deployment, and wait for the arrival of the main force of our army, and then completely annihilate the last possible enemy force in the entire territory of the Alu Korqin Banner in one go."
"Although we are at a disadvantage in terms of strength at the moment, we have an advantage in overall firepower. Divide your current troops into three parts and grind them little by little using roulette tactics. However, it is necessary not to lightly attack the Japanese army in depth, so as not to be counter-surrounded by the Japanese army, which still has an advantage in strength. When Su Yingqi arrived at the front line of Butun Maodu, we launched an all-out counterattack. ”
Speaking of this, looking at Gou Zaihe, who was still a little hesitant, Yang Jicai shook his head slightly in his heart, and at the same time, he clicked on the map and said: "Now from Balaqirude to Ao Han Yingzi, it is true that the strength of the Japanese army is nearly twice as strong as ours. But they are distributed on two main points, that is, the total strength of the Japanese army in front of you is only half of yours. ”
"And our absolute superiority in firepower has invisibly offset part of the Japanese army's superiority in troops. Moreover, the Japanese army in front of us is now in disarray, with many branches of the army mixed together. The combat effectiveness of each branch of the armed forces is uneven, and the cooperation is unfamiliar, and some of its combat effectiveness has been reduced. ”
"In this way, on the whole, the strength of the enemy and us is roughly equal. After Su Yingqi arrived, only against the frontal enemy of Balakirude, under the cover of superior firepower, our troops would even have a slight advantage. ”
"And right now, on the other side of the Haihar River, in the area north of Kundu, there is also our main army rushing here. As long as we can hold back this Japanese army and prevent them from escaping, then we will have the best fighters on the entire Alu Korqin front. ”
"I know the scruples and hesitations in your heart, but no matter how many times the Japanese troops in front of you exceed the existing forces in your hands, I only have one sentence to tell you. As long as the whole world needs it, it doesn't matter if we all run out. It's gone, it's gone, it's nothing. We should be ready for today from the day we put on this uniform. ”
"Every one of us, every squad, every battalion and company, and even every regiment, is a partial part of the whole of the Anti-Japanese Union. In a battle, someone must sacrifice the part to ensure the overall situation. We can't always try to eat meat, someone still has to gnaw bones. ”
"For now, as long as we can guarantee the victory of the entire Ximan Campaign, what if we are gone? Other troops can still fight to Japan and liberate the whole of China. I am not a political cadre, and I don't know how to talk about big things, but I know one thing: the local must always be subordinated to the overall situation. ”
"Don't say that you haven't reached that point yet, but what if you do? Even if this obedience is to sacrifice all of us here, but in order to ensure the overall situation, we must not hesitate. As long as there is an order from the superiors, we will never flinch in the face of a strong enemy, and this is the style that our generation of soldiers should have. ”
In order to convince this guy, Yang Jicai even started to make a false spending. The reply that has not yet been given by the superior is also said. Because in his opinion, his superiors would definitely approve his request. Although there is no reply yet, the change in the shape of shì will make the superiors make up their minds.
Now I said it in advance, just to strengthen the confidence of the head of the regiment in front of me. Let him not have any hesitation, or for some unexplained reason, which will affect the course of the whole battle. This old man is too rigid and dogmatic, and if he tells the truth, then it is easy to cause him to suffer from gains and losses on the battlefield.
