Chapter 426: The Second Line (Page 1/1)

Chen Fakehua and Zhou Pu are like two combat attitudes, the attitudes of these two people, if you taste it carefully, it is very interesting, Zhou Pu is not from Whampoa, and he is among the Fifth Army, which has many officers in Whampoa, and he must be cautious in everything.

Chen Fakehua, who was born in the eighth phase of Huangpu, has relatively few scruples, and his combat attitude is positive, but he seems frizzy.

After a short period of contact, Zhang Wei himself felt that the first battalion commander Zhou Pu was more reliable and more stable, while the second battalion commander Chen Zhenhua was much more frivolous compared with him.

Of course, now, they have to refer to Zhang Wei's opinion, and Zhang Wei, who took Deng Junlin's warrant, is now dominant.

Zhang Wei has a warrant in his body, and Zhang Wei is the captain of the new 22nd Division's direct teaching brigade, and the red man next to the division commander Qiu Madman can be described as a pro-soldier, and his words are extremely weighty in the eyes of Zhou Pu and Chen Yuhua, the commanders of the grassroots combat battalion.

"What the two of you said is very reasonable, we are fighting against the Japanese army, we must not take it lightly, Battalion Commander Zhou's worries are not unreasonable, this time it is a brigade-level unit, we still need to pay attention to it, but we don't have to be arrogant, this group of Japanese troops in the previous battle, the losses are not small, and we are not without opportunities."

"What were the approximate losses of the Japanese army?" Zhou Pu asked.

"According to my judgment, our goal should be a complete infantry brigade, except for the car, there is no other firepower to strengthen, I taught the brigade to ambush the brigade once, and fought a positional offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese army, it is estimated that the enemy's casualties are more than 100 miles, plus the battle of Commander Deng just now, it can be estimated that the Japanese army's combat strength casualties are about one-third."

"Captain Zhang, how is the firepower of this Japanese brigade?"

It was Chen Yuhua who asked the question.

"Judging from the intensity of the battle with our brigade, it is the configuration of the normal Japanese brigade, two Type 92 infantry guns, and the shells are sufficient."

Zhou Pu nodded: "In this way, with the strength of our regiment or so, it is possible to besiege this infantry brigade." ”

After informing the two battalion commanders of the enemy situation and the battlefield situation, Zhang Wei immediately laid out his tactical plan.

"Deng Tuanzuo and I have agreed in advance, next, establish a second line of defense on the spot, block and delay the Japanese army, further reduce their living force, and use another part of the living force to advance backwards, looking for favorable terrain to establish an ambush position, and after the Japanese army breaks through the second position, Deng Tuanza's department, the defense force of the second position and the part of the ambush position will be combined to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army!"

"Deng Tuanzuo's troops are now retreating, our second line of defense is delaying the Japanese army, but also in order to let Deng Tuanzuo retreat safely, Deng Tuanzuo's troops will not join the second-line position after withdrawing, and go directly to the preset ambush position to prepare for an ambush."

Zhang Wei looked at the two battalion commanders, and Zhou Pu and Chen Zhenhua were silent.

"Captain Zhang, Commander Deng's warrant is here, Battalion Commander Zhou and I are here according to your and Commander Deng's plan, but this force is subordinate, I don't know how to arrange it?" Chen Zhenhua said.

"The deployment of troops, that is to be discussed with the two, we are sitting here for a meeting for this, my brigade has nearly 800 people, although there is a bloody battle, the heavy machine gun and the 82 mortar platoon are all subordinate, and my brigade is responsible for the second-line position!"

Chen Yuhua and Zhou Pu glanced at each other, Zhang Wei gave them the right to allocate troops, instead of using the warrant to give orders directly, in fact, Zhang Wei had a plan in his heart, but it was really difficult to say it directly on the surface.

In any case, giving orders to two officers of the same level who are older and more senior than you will affect cooperation too much, and you need a buffer in the process of cooperation.

Zhou Pu, the commander of the first battalion, who was old, first expressed his attitude and reported his detailed family background: "We are two infantry battalions, and the establishment is still the same, three infantry companies, one heavy machine gun company, no mortar platoon, two battalions are more than 500 people, and the mountain artillery platoon with it has two mountain guns and more than 200 shells. ”

The infantry battalion of the regiment under the new 22 nd Division is the traditional three infantry companies and one heavy machine gun company, and as for the mortar platoon, because of the lack of equipment and the change of establishment, this establishment has been abolished and the artillery has been concentrated at the regimental level.

Compared with the teaching brigade, in terms of artillery firepower, these grassroots battalion-level units are missing.

Chen Yuhua interjected: "The family background is not as good as your teaching brigade, but it is not bad, a large amount of ammunition was replenished before the battle this time, and the ammunition on hand of the brothers is quite sufficient." ”

Several people were talking, and they were supposed to study the battle plan, but they tilted the topic to the amount of ammunition.

Time was urgent, and in the end Zhang Wei proposed a method for the distribution of troops, Zhang Wei had a good attitude, and the plan was proper, and Zhou Pu and Chen Zhenhua had no other opinions after discussion.

The trio finalized a battle plan against this Japanese infantry brigade.

Zhang Wei's teaching brigade and Zhou Pu's first battalion of the 65th Regiment set up a second-line blocking position on the spot.

Chen's second battalion marched to the rear to set up an ambush position.

The mountain artillery platoon, equipped with two Bofors mountain guns, retreated with Chen's second battalion and headed for the ambush position

The location of the ambush position was chosen by Zhou Pu and Chen Fakehua, and Zhou Pu and Chen Fakehua's troops marched from the direction of Kunlun Pass, and although the teaching brigade also came from there, the road conditions along the way and the suitable ambush area had long been left behind by Zhang Wei and the officers who had experienced bloody battles.

Chen and Zhou Pu are more familiar, according to Chen Fakehua, more than ten miles back, the terrain on both sides of the highway is relatively rugged, there are hills and other terrain that are easy to hide, it is a good place for ambushes.

The mountain artillery platoon participated in the construction of ambush positions with the second battalion of the 65th Regiment of Chen Zhenhua and built their temporary artillery positions.

As the saying goes, good steel is used on the edge of a knife.

The main purpose of the second-line position is to delay the Japanese army, and the position will be lost sooner or later, so there is no need to waste too much firepower and shells on this position, and it is better to leave it to the little devils in the ambush.

It was already past five o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Wei estimated that the Japanese army would reach the second-line position when it was dark.

The time of the Japanese army's march, plus the time of Deng Junlin's retreat and the delay of the second-line position, gave Chen Fake Hua time to build an ambush position, and it was until tomorrow morning at the latest.

Before that, Zhang Wei had to command the troops, and the friendly troops dragged the devils in the second-line position, delayed as much as possible, and killed and injured the Japanese army.

All in all, the second-line position should buy time for Deng Junlin's retreat and the combat readiness of the ambush position, and the first stage of the battle has ended, and whether or not the Japanese army can be successfully ambushed now depends on the blocking and delaying of the second position.
