A Dream of Jinling Chapter 305 Solving the Cow (18)

Next chapter

In reality, 30,000 people holding hands can form a ring of about 50,000 meters. This fifty kilometers is long enough to fence Duluth. From a military point of view, however, such a thin defense is an extremely stupid choice. As long as the enemy casually breaks the two places that are relatively close, he can beat this "defense system" to pieces.

Regiment Commander Hu Xingzhi, who has received systematic education from the Guangfu Military Academy, knows very well that the military academy not only teaches the troops the correct way to fight, but also requires everyone to participate in the practice of those stupid tactics. Moreover, the practice of stupid tactics does not mean to blindly deny, because Wei Ze, the supreme commander of the Liberation Army, believes that any battle has its own room. Stupidity and non-stupidity are always the result of a dynamic comparison, and the reality on the battlefield can probably be summed up in the phrase "form is stronger than people".

On the map in front of Hu Xingzhi to the regiment commander, the new front relying on the terrain has been gradually completed. Behind this very thin front are the reserves. As the regiment commander, Hu Xingzhi knows very well how fragile this front is. If the Liberation Army is not facing the Yankees who are far less professional, but the squadron that has been tempered for thousands of years, it will be a matter of minutes and minutes if the battle line is broken.

"Regiment commander, the phone number of the third battalion." The correspondent shouted.

As soon as he heard the call from the grassroots, Hu Xingzhi felt uncomfortable. Since the beginning of the war, no phone call has brought good news.

"Commander, request fire support!"

"Regiment Commander, request for reinforcement!"

"Regiment commander, please send someone to take the wounded down!"

"Commander, how long are we going to do it?"

……

Hu Xingzhi is a regiment commander, he is no longer a battalion commander or a company commander. Even if Hu Xingzhi had plans to go to the front line, it was impossible for him to personally go to the front line for such a long time to participate in the command. What do you want grassroots commanders for? Isn't it just to complete the front-line combat mission? Could it be that he was willing to take it upon himself to expel such a stupid encirclement? This is an order from the military department.

Of course, Hu Xingzhi can also understand Qi Rui's reason for making such a judgment. When the division commander called, he specifically explained the reason for the battle, and not long ago the division commander called again to emphasize that reinforcements could not arrive as planned. The 24th Army could only make full use of its combat superiority to accomplish the task of encircling and annihilating the enemy in Port Duluth.

He and Qi Rui have participated in the primary class training, and Hu Xingzhi can certainly understand Qi Rui's considerations. The Yankees have guns in their own right, and if they let these guys move at will, the troops must be tense at all times. The battlefield has made everyone nervous, and if you tense your nerves for 24 hours, that person will probably go crazy.

Hu Xingzhi picked up the phone, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said, "Hey! I'm Hu Xingzhi! ”

"Commander, we are responsible for attacking the port, and the enemy is resisting fiercely. Can you bring in some more cannons? The anxious voice of the commander of the third battalion came out of the microphone.

After listening to the voice of the third battalion commander, Hu Xingzhi remembered that his troops not only shouldered the heavy responsibility of defense, but also undertook the task of attacking. The purpose of the 24th Army's operation was to completely annihilate the defenders of Duluth and occupy the city of Duluth. Judging from the experience of previous operations, the Liberation Army should be on the offensive and the enemy on the defensive. However, the commander of the defenders of Duluth City should be an experienced tough guy, and his decisive attack mode made the regents who tried to annihilate them go on the defensive on most fronts.

Facing the commander of the third battalion who was in charge of the attack, Hu Xingzhi wanted to say in his heart that the troops would not have to attack in such a hurry for the time being. With the current situation of the troops, the reserves should be used to ensure that there are no problems in the defensive line. In addition to support, the artillery also carried out night duty artillery bombardment in response to the enemy's approach. In such a situation, where is there excess firepower to support the attacking forces.

But when the words came to his lips, Hu Xingzhi held back again. Offense is the best defense, and this is one of the common sense for any officer. The defense of the Liberation Army can complete the stupid battle plan of complete encirclement with a ridiculously thin defensive line, and if you want to defend against the frontal attack of the Liberation Army, the enemy will have to send several times the number of troops, right? If the enemy is wounded, if they are beaten and lose confidence, they must send troops to help, right?

Gritting his teeth, Hu Xingzhi shouted into the microphone: "You continue to attack now, and persisting in attacking is victory." ”

The battalion commander on the opposite side didn't expect Hu Xingzhi to give such an order, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Regiment commander, the strength of our battalion is limited. Now the enemy takes full advantage of the familiarity with the terrain to place firing points. Can you wait until dawn before launching an onslaught? That's when our snipers come in handy. ”

"Let you attack, you will attack! We've trained so much for night battles, are the Yankees better at it than our troops? You're laughing at it! Third battalion commander, I now order you to continue the attack, you have a battalion of 400 people, and the enemy will never be your opponent! If you intensify your offensive, they will not be able to withstand it! At the end, Hu Xingzhi was about to roar. After that, he hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Xingzhi felt a lot more relaxed. He is not a person who likes to howl so loudly, as a child of Hu Chenghe's family, there are so many high-ranking soldiers in the family, of course Hu Xingzhi knows that yelling at his subordinates is of little use. Even if it is not a family inheritance, there are many times in the military academy that the soldiers are taught to do this, and the use of this is very limited. The purpose of the roar is to make the commanders and fighters more concentrated.

However, Hu Xingzhi couldn't care so much, and after shouting like this, he felt a lot better. And those personnel in the regiment headquarters also looked a little more energetic, at least they knew that Hu Xing was very angry at this time, and there was a relatively obvious restraint in his actions. Such a change made Hu Xingzhi feel a lot better.

When Hu Xingzhi sat on the marching chair to calm his feelings, a thought suddenly popped up, if there was no delay for a while! When Qi Rui, Ma Xiaoming and others were fighting on the front line, Hu Xingzhi was ordered to receive equipment. This delay is more than a month. Hu Xingzhi took advantage of this time to get married and dealt with his own affairs. Life can be regarded as entering a new stage, but after such a delay, he lost the initial opportunity to make meritorious contributions after he arrived at the front line.

As Qi Rui's old classmate in the military academy, as Qi Rui's old comrade-in-arms when he was in the South China Sea, and as an old brother who participated in the Ceylon campaign with Qi Rui, even if he knew Qi Rui's background, Hu Xingzhi didn't think about it so much. Along the way, Hu Xingzhi knew that Qi Rui's current position was not obtained by relying on his father's status during the assessment. This qiē is Qi Rui's own ability to get the recognition of the boss step by step. Therefore, Hu Xingzhi had no intention of parting ways with Qi Rui.

But in this matter, Hu Xingzhi hoped that if he hadn't taken on the seemingly easy task of accepting equipment at that time, Qi Rui didn't need to talk about it, as the acting chief of staff of the army, he was already the commander of the headquarters. Ma Xiaoming, Qian Daduo, Li Yannian and others who joined the battle in the early days are basically no longer regiment-level cadres. Even a division-level cadre does not have to endure such ordeal on the front line. At least the regiment commander is unlikely to call the division headquarters at all times when there is a problem. At least Hu Xingzhi would never dare to do this.

Just when Hu Xingzhi couldn't help but regret a lot of things before, the phone rang again. The communications staff officer picked up the phone, and not long after, he covered the microphone and shouted to Hu Xingzhi: "Regiment commander, the commander of the first battalion, please answer the phone." ”

Alas, ......, sighed in his heart, and Hu Xingzhi took the microphone.

Alas, ......, put down the earpiece, and Xu Suhang, the commander of the third battalion, sighed. The regiment had a regimental headquarters in the regiment, and the battalion, which was the first line of command, simply used a small tent on the edge of a hollow of stone to prop up a small tent on it, and regarded this place as the battalion headquarters.

The battalion commander, the battalion political commissar, the deputy battalion commander, and the three company commanders, these six main personnel all heard the orders of the regiment commander under this canvas. It is true that a battalion has more than 300 men, but it is inevitable that the troops will lose after these days of fighting. Fangcai's offensive did suffer some setbacks, and now there are fewer than 240 troops able to fight. And under the dark night, the number of enemies that are the head snakes of the ground is at least six or seven hundred. I don't know how many have not been exposed.

"Let's stop rushing so hard, let's fight steadily little by little." In the night, the battalion political commissar said with a dark face. Everyone couldn't see the expression on his face, and the battalion commissar had no intention of letting everyone see his face.

In the tradition of the Liberation Army, political commissars have very good fighting ability. So the commissar's military statement was not questioned, because he said the problems that everyone had encountered in previous battles. The Yankees on the other side were capable of fighting like never before. These people in the battalion headquarters had all participated in the West Coast Campaign of the United States, and the Yankees they had encountered before had all fired fiercely at the Liberation Army with firepower. With this mentality, we can understand that in war, it is important to be able to kill the enemy by pouring fire on the enemy. It's more important to give yourself courage.

However, the commander on the opposite side seemed to be a veteran, and he did not do this, but arranged the machine gun position very in a dark line. When the squadron enters the range of the machine gun position, it opens heavy fire and kills the squadron. This was originally a very normal mode of operation, and there was also corresponding training during the internal training of the Liberation Army, and the troops had special training as both the attacker and the defender.

However, during exercises and training, the fallen troops can get up by patting the dirt on their bodies. But every time the enemy's firepower was discovered in the war, the Liberation Army had to pay the price of being wounded or killed in battle. These lost soldiers are no longer able to fight. At least not in the short term, there is no way to go into battle. Faced with such a problem, everyone in the battalion headquarters was in a heavy mood.

"Deputy battalion commander, you and the second company commander will attack again. Be careful when attacking. After all, the battalion commander Xu Suhang was the military commander, and he gave the order with a straight face
