"It seems that the other party is also an elite." Looking at the other party's fortification system from the telescope, although Huang Kedi did not have much combat experience in the regular army, of course he knew that Sun Tzu's Art of War would definitely not be a straw bale. "Tomorrow's battle will require the temple to find a lot of ways to restrain the enemy."

The temple did not put down the telescope in his hand, and his expression was always indifferent, and he didn't seem to have changed much, but his heart was already turbulent. I didn't expect that I thought that the imperial army was already the strongest army in the Far East, but although these soldiers wearing iron gray military uniforms and iron hats did not fire a single bullet, their orderly actions in teams and teams, the reasonable arrangement of firepower points and trench systems around them, made the temple feel like returning to the Heigoutai battlefield of the year, well, even the Russian army seems to be inferior to this army in terms of fortifications.

"Senior, these Qing soldiers seem to be the ones who fought with us against the Russians in Manchuria, right?" Looking at the other party's defense system, a Japanese officer wearing a captain's uniform asked Terauchi.

"It's them and it's not them." Terauchi said, "The establishment of this Northern Army is the second regiment of the Xuanyuan Sect Instructor of the Wuyi New Army, but their predecessor is a standard of the Wuyi New Army, and it is true that they have participated in the Manchurian Campaign. But Xiangyue-kun, you see, the age of their soldiers is obviously not very old, it is estimated that they are about the same as our privates, seventeen or eighteen. When the Manchurian War broke out, they were still in elementary school, and it is estimated that they did not have much actual combat experience, but the non-commissioned officers and officers of this unit were well trained, and their staff department must have been very efficient. ”

"Oh, how can you see that?" It seems that Xiangyue is still a good comedy actor.

"Hehe, the soldiers on the other side don't have any conversation or slack work at all, they all know their own action plans, do you think a soldier may have this quality? Even if they were all elite soldiers, it would be impossible to do it without the command of officers and non-commissioned officers. But do you see if there are any cases of shouting and even whipping by the officers and lieutenants like the Imperial Army? This shows that the officers already know how to behave, and it is natural to carry it out to the soldiers, so I think their staff must be a very efficient organ. "The temple has a general impression of this junior, but the other party is also a graduate of Lu University, and he is only one year lower than himself, and the love of incense is not easy to erase.

"The senior's analysis is very incisive, and Xiangyue admires it." Xiangyue is actually a very brainy officer, but he has never been on the battlefield, and he is a big difference compared to the senior of the temple who was born in a military family and went through the Russo-Japanese War. "So how do we defeat the strong with the weak, and do we want to organize this squadron of the empire to carry out a roundabout attack?"

In fact, the Japanese army has its own established tactics for tomorrow's encounter mode. Skirmishes are tactics used to combat an enemy while on the move. During the normal march, several groups of Japanese scouts carried out a triangular reconnaissance maneuver 350m in front of the marching column. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the Japanese army's preferred roundabout flank tactics, its scouts were formed above the wing of the wing of the wing and had a range of up to 3,000 meters. After discovering the enemy's situation, you should quickly engage the enemy. The artillery should be deployed first, suppressing the enemy's artillery fire, and covering the main force of the troops to complete the attack deployment. After the infantry attack, the artillery should make every effort to suppress the enemy's support artillery fire and forward fire support points; If the attack is successful, the enemy's possible maneuver or retreat should be blocked with artillery fire. The main purpose of the infantry attack is to penetrate and outflank. However, this is only possible when all of them are imperial troops, and for the new army of that regiment, Terauchi feels that it is better to replace it with a squadron of imperial troops. Kazuki's suggestion was also to use the new army to fight a frontal blockade, and the Japanese squadron attacked the opponent's rear in a roundabout way.

"Well, we can use that as a basis for tactical forecasting. Xiangyue-kun, I ask you to take the staff officers to make an estimate, and I have to observe their situation. ”

"Hayi, senior, please rest assured. Kazuki will definitely do her best to assist her seniors. "Xiangyue is also a personal spirit, knowing the family power in the temple, wouldn't it be too stupid not to hug such a big thick leg. The temple also understands, but as a child of the family, he understands that he must establish his own team in order to make a name for himself in the family, after all, someone must be promoted and someone must be under the top.

"Xu, can you explain why your fire support unit is not open to the director's department?" A French colonel, Rouen, with a big nose, began a French-style protest performance against Xu Youzheng.

"Mr. Colonel, I don't know if there is no need to look at the rank in the French army to salute?" Xu Shuzheng replied coldly, looking at the two gold stars on the other party's shoulders, Lu Angrang had to reluctantly salute a military salute, and Xu Youzheng lazily replied with a salute. "Now you may ask questions, Mr. Colonel."

"Okay, Your Excellency, I hope to see your fire support troops immediately, damn it, isn't it just some obsolete artillery of the Germans, is it necessary to be so mysterious?"

"I'm sorry, I think it's necessary for you to apologize for the disrespect you have just given to Germany. Monsieur Rouen: "A Prussian colonel, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, was very dissatisfied, and was shot. After the big nose apologized anxiously, Xu Shuzheng took out the exercise instructions issued by the exercise director and pointed to the articles on it.

"Colonel, I have to say, I don't seem to have found any provision for the unconditional opening of army equipment to the director's department."

"Well, Major General, but how can you make us count the size of your fire support force, maybe it's a division of troops."

"You're going to count the numbers and make sure the forces on both sides are fair, right?" Xu Shuzheng smiled and waved the white glove in his hand, "As you wish, Colonel." The order was given, and the fire support units were urgently assembled. ”

The hurried emergency assembly whistle sounded, and groups of well-dressed troops came out of the storerooms and tents, and quickly found their positions according to the positions of the gendarmes with white armbands, and the phalanxes were quickly formed, and it was obvious that no one did not know their position.

"Three minutes and seventeen seconds. Wonderful. An American lieutenant colonel with a silver oak leaf badge looked at his pocket watch and had to admire the organization and discipline of these soldiers, thinking that his old unit was also a veteran of the war in Mexico, but five minutes in this regard was a luxury.

"Commanders, please count the number of our fire support troops, and open the tents and storerooms so that the commander can see if there are any hidden soldiers." Xu Shuzheng's order passed down very quickly, and the gendarmes opened the storeroom and tent in an orderly manner, of course, these military attaches could see that there was no one inside, maybe one or two could hide, but there would definitely not be many.

The number of reports on the field was very fast from the head of the team to the end of the team, and soon the star officer on duty stepped forward to report, "Report to the chief, our department should be three hundred and fifty-one people, but it is actually three hundred and forty-nine people, two of them are out on business, and the first task force support team Major Zheng Yuming." ”

"Take a break." After the two returned to the military salute, Zheng Yuming trotted back to the queue with his hands on his chest, although some soldiers wore training caps, some wore flying leather helmets, and some wore steel helmets, but the officers and soldiers stood solemnly with their hands on their backs and waists, and the military attachés who were also soldiers couldn't help but appreciate.

"Okay, Major General, your number is in line with the regulations of the Director's Department, and I hope that tomorrow your cannon caliber will not exceed the standard."

"Of course, we can't maneuver quickly in such soft ground with a fifteen-millimeter cannon, isn't that common sense?" Watching the French big nose leave with a disgraced face, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but like this unsmiling General Xu.

The launch of the three signal flares meant the beginning of this gamble, and the ranks of the Southern Army were moving forward loosely, and Xiangyue frowned. "Senior, let's start a detour with our troops, I don't think they will last long."

Seeing that the artillery masters were still asleep, they were dragged up by the officers one by one tent before they were willing to have breakfast, which was simply inferior to the local army primary school baby army. The temple is also helpless, and it seems that their combat effectiveness cannot be overestimated.

At the insistence of the temple, Huang Kedi gave an order, and the soldiers walked out of more than 30 miles, and began to build fortifications on a mound ten miles away from the exercise ground on the outskirts of Xinghua County.

The artillery even walked 20 miles and complained bitterly, and began to bury pots and cook before even the artillery positions were built, and there were no people killed and set on fire in the nearby villages, but the loss of chickens and ducks was really common. I don't know if the artillerymen are good at firing artillery, but at least they are still qualified to be cooks, and even the veteran gluttonous Huang Kedi and Terauchi Shouichi, who are from a family, feel that this trip is worthwhile, and it seems that the artillerymen who do not want to be cooks are not good Southern Army.

The "buzzing" sound of the motor unique to the aircraft of this era came from the sky, which made the soldiers who had never seen an airplane very curious, and one by one they craned their necks to look at the sky, looking for each other's figures. The temple dragged Huang Kedi to a straggler pit dug by the guards, and Huang Kedi also asked with a depressed face why he was panicked, so that the soldiers could see how bad it was.

For the first time, Shouichi in the temple felt what it means for a dog to bite Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know the hearts of good people. Four small black dots soon appeared in the sky, and a minute later the plane became the size of a kite, and the planes lined up in a queue of geese lowered their noses one by one under the leadership of the long plane, and began to dive, and the sharp whistle made the soldiers cover their ears and run around, no one listened to Huang Kedi's command to "lie down" in the temple, looking at the artillery that was scattered, the plane did not attack the artillery position, but dropped bombs and strafed a river beach a mile away, and the bombs exploded, and the machine guns like two fire whips fired, turned the river beach into a Shura field, although it was blown away by the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the water. However, the temple's mouth and Huang Kedi's mouth could no longer be closed.

The soldiers gradually quieted down, watching the planes take turns to vent their anger on the small ditch, and some stupid and bold wanted to get closer to pick up some fresh river food, but the heat wave caused them to flee back with a crawl, which caused the soldiers to laugh, and even the officers were laughing and scolding them.

"Terauchi-kun, I don't think the infantry side will have a good time, right? It looks like our defeat is a foregone conclusion. "Huang Kedi understands, since the other party attacked his own artillery, he must have also discovered one of his own regiments of infantry, and the next thing can be imagined. However, Teranachi felt that there was still a squadron of imperial troops that could fight, and maybe a miracle could happen, but in fact, at this time, Terauchi didn't know that he had already regarded victory as a miracle in his mentality.

"I'm sorry, senior. I've failed, so please punish my seniors. Kazuki and the squadron leader of the squadron came back with smoke on their faces like a pig's head.

There was no strength in the temple to speak, so Huang Kedi hurriedly asked the reason. It turned out that Xiangyue, who was in charge of the detour, and that squadron were ambushed in a hilly area northwest of Xinghua City, and the other party's plane spotted them, but continued to fly as if they didn't find it, giving Xiangyue the idea of giving it a go, and it was no wonder that he didn't witness the horror of the air raid like them in the temple. However, they were not lucky that they were not attacked by airstrikes. In this flat hill, there were actually two companies of Wuyi New Army in ambush, and a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly burst out two hundred meters in front of their queue, but no artillery sound was heard, and later I learned that it was the other party's preset anti-infantry directional mines and some explosives, but Kazuki also understood that this was because of the requirements of the exercise, and if it was a real battle, their squadron had been reduced by at least one-third. The sharp soldiers on both sides did not find anything, of course, they were all quietly touched by the scouts of the Wuyi New Army, of course, they did not really shoot, but after firing from the empty warehouse, they let the sergeant of the exercise director tell them that they had died. Next is an artillery attack, although the shells are not big, but the density is scary, Xiangyue is quite calm, he thinks that it is at least the firepower of twenty-four Type 01 infantry guns, but he doesn't know that it is the firepower of eight 60 mortars, but the advantage in the rate of fire makes them misunderstand. Then these shells turned their back road over, and the opponent's machine gun fire and rifle fire also rang out, and they were unobstructed on the main road, and soon they were announced by an officer of the director's department that all the members were broken, and the announcement was actually a Japanese observer, you can imagine how wonderful their faces were at that time.

Just as Huang Kedi and the temple were waiting for the director department to announce the results of the exercise, a captain of the New Army ran over to report that the first regiment of the 21st Mixed Association of the New Army had been put in place and was building fortifications, and asked the commander to give instructions on the next step.

"Nani?" Terauchi felt that it was too surprising that the other party actually did not use his own artillery fire and air strikes to baptize his front, and he would definitely do this. But the perception told him that this matter was not so simple, Huang Kedi and his party went to the front line, on the main battlefield of Xinghua, the two sides built fortifications within 400 meters, although the fortifications on their own side were reluctant, oh, it was probably enough to bury the dead. The pit viper-shaped barbed wire on the opponent's position is much stronger than the kind of barbed wire originally used by the Russian army in the battle of Heigoutai, at least it is much easier to lay.

Soon a piece of targets were erected on the opponent's position, obviously the opponent had cleared the field, a messy gunshot, the opponent's target was not missing hair, or the Jinling Makqin machine gun's snorting strafing was considered to have knocked out half of the target. This is to be expected. The time has come for the reversal of rights, now it is the boys' rights, oh, it is the Southern Army to clear the field, the time has come for the Wuyi New Army, the light and heavy machine guns with full firepower, the guns of the accurate Qin crossbow are targeted, the five shots of ordinary soldiers are two out of three, and even the grenadiers of the other side are very friendly to help the Southern Army dig the trenches more than a foot deeper, and now the trenches of the Southern Army can finally reach the standard.

Out of the gate of the director's department, the trio of Xiangyue Huang Kedi in the temple, whose faces were black like the bottom of the pot, and Xu Shuzheng, who has always shown his poker face, were photographed by the cameraman together, and the people of the whole country should know that the southern army fought bravely and the whole army was annihilated, resulting in less than one percent of the other party's attrition, and they were all two fool targets who poked their bodies out of the trench for more than one meter, but except for a seriously wounded man who burned off a layer of skin on his fingers when moving a mortar.
