Chapter 450: Hangzhou Strategy (5)
In fact, Li Wei and Fred did not think about the question raised by Su Jin from time to time, but they did not have a better way, the wide river firmly blocked the tens of thousands of brave and skilled troops on the north bank of the river, and the only thing that could pose a threat to the Japanese army was aircraft and heavy artillery.
Li Wei said honestly: "Junzuo, we really have no choice, so we can only make this decision, otherwise we will not send a report to you for help." ”
"You guys!"
Seeing Li Wei bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Su Jin sighed and stopped talking about him. Looking at Li Wei, who bowed his head and was silent, Su Jin asked again, "Is the commander of the Zhouqiao Force here?" ”
"Report to the military seat, Xi Lianglin, the commander of the Zhouqiao Battalion directly under the 348th Division, reports!" As soon as Su Jin's words fell, a voice sounded not far away.
Su Jin looked over in the voice, and a major in his thirties, who was not tall but exceptionally strong, saluted him respectfully.
"Take a break!" Su Jin returned the salute casually and asked, "Xi Lianglin, let me ask you, if I give you enough manpower to build a pontoon bridge on the river, how much time will it take you?" ”
"I need seventy-two hours, that's three days!" Xi Lianglin thought for a while and answered.
"It's too long, I don't have that much time for you!" Su Jin decisively rejected his proposal, "I'll only give you two days at most, and the pontoon bridge must be built within two days, can you do it?" ”
Xi Lianglin's face was embarrassed, he thought for a while before gritting his teeth and said: "Yes, but I need to transfer me another boat and bridge company of troops, and we can't be interfered with and broken by the Japanese army, otherwise I won't be able to complete the task even if you shoot me!" ”
"Yes, I will transfer all the Zhouqiao troops of the whole division to you, and if you don't have enough manpower, you can also transfer them!" Su Jin said decisively, "As for the safety of the Japanese army, I can guarantee that the Japanese artillery will never affect your work!" ”
"Since the chief said so...... The department also promised to complete the task, and if you can't complete it by then, you will cut off my head! Xi Lianglin also gritted his teeth and said.
"I don't want your head, I just want a pontoon!" Su Jin said coldly, and then motioned for him to go down.
Then Su Jin said to Li Wei and Fred: "Since the Japanese think that we can only look stupidly across the bank without a navy, then why don't we think of a way from a different angle, for example, we can quietly transport a force to the other side of the river, this force can be hidden during the day, and at night they can act as our eyes, the Japanese are honest, if the Japanese dare to play small moves, we can give them a look!" ”
"Huh...... It's a feasible solution! ”
After Su Jin finished saying this, Li Wei and Fred's eyes lit up at the same time. Why did Li Wei and his men have a heavy artillery regiment but no way to deal with the Japanese at night, and was it not because their planes could not be dispatched at night, and the Japanese could set up artillery on the opposite shore with great swagger? If such a small reconnaissance force is active on the other side of the bank and specially directs the direction of the artillery at night, then the Japanese artillery will attract a devastating blow as long as it dares to move, and this can also play the role of blocking the Japanese artillery!
"Yes, Your Excellency General's method is fantastic, why didn't we think of it?" Adele, who was not speaking next to her, also shouted happily.
Fred glared at his daughter, when he saw Adele coming in behind Su Jin just now, he gave Adele a good lecture, but in the end, he couldn't screw his own daughter, and with Su Jin's endorsement, he could only reluctantly acquiesce.
"It's not that you didn't expect it, but this kind of combat method already belongs to the category of special operations forces!" Speaking of this, Su Jin glanced at the two fathers and daughters with great meaning, speaking of the concept of special operations or the Germans first came up with it, as early as 1936, Admiral Canaris, director of the military intelligence bureau of the German High Command, established the Brandenburg special forces, the members of the unit can speak more than one foreign language, and are familiar with the situation in the country, after the outbreak of World War II, the members of the unit infiltrated into hostile countries to carry out extensive sabotage operations, the results are outstanding, they are also recognized as the first formal special operations force in the world. However, although this unit participated in the Polish campaign, it is still unknown.
"Special operations forces?" Fred and Li Wei glanced at each other.
"Yes, to put it bluntly, special operations forces refer to armed forces that carry out special tasks, conduct special training, and are equipped with special equipment, and are under the leadership and command of the highest military command organ. Su Jin didn't want to say too much, but hurriedly said: "Such a unit will not be able to be trained in a while and a half, but fortunately, our task is not very complicated, so there is no need to be too harsh on the selection of personnel." ”
"And what kind of soldiers do you think it will take to carry out this mission?" Fred asked.
Su Jin pondered for a while and said: "First of all, you must be proficient in Japanese, and be very familiar with the formation, habits and daily life of the Japanese army, so that it is easy to mix with the other side, and secondly, you must be able to know artillery observation technology, be proficient in using radio stations, and have strong psychological quality." ”
"That's not a high demand!" As soon as Su Jin's words fell, Fred's father and daughter and Li Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly after looking at each other, most of the soldiers in the army had a low level of education, and even fewer could speak Japanese. Moreover, they must be very familiar with the establishment of the Japanese army, national habits and daily life, and they must also be able to use artillery observation technology and use radio, if this is not a high demand, they can't imagine what Su Jin said will be very demanding.
Fred shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." I have to say that I am afraid that I will not be able to pick out a few of the 20,000 soldiers of our 348th Division in this request. ”
"Who said that you want to pick from the 348th Division." A mysterious smile appeared on Su Jin's face, "I have already brought these people, even if they are mixed into the Japanese army, they will not have any problems!" ”
"What, there really is such a force, how come we don't know?" Now the three of them are even stranger.
Su Jin laughed: "Why not, I remember that this unit doesn't talk about you, even the Japanese know their names!" ”
"Ah...... It turned out to be them...... "Now Fred and the others all understood. (To be continued.) )
