Chapter 571: Cannon as the Main Force (Page 1/1)

The current situation of Kunlun Pass, because of the existence of Zhang Wei, is much better than in history, it is precisely because Zhang Wei ate the Takeda Brigade and indirectly blocked the Japanese reinforcements of the 21st Wing, so the Japanese defenders of Kunlun Pass did not get reinforcements from the 21st Wing as in history, but still only the Kunlun Pass garrison was stationed and struggled to maintain.

This is the advantage that Zhang Wei has earned, and with this advantage, Zhang Wei and the 200th Division have room to play.

After observing a failed attack of the 598th Regiment of the 200th Division, and personally penetrating into the side of the Japanese army's Luotang Heights, Zhang Wei naturally had his own ideas and answered Division Commander Dai's question in an orderly manner.

"Sir, through reconnaissance, I found that the Japanese artillery fire was not very strong, but we must not be negligent, although I abolished a mortar position of the Japanese army, but whether the Japanese army has other hidden artillery, our army is still unknown, so we must be careful. He believes that in the re-attack of our army, first, we must pay attention to suppression, let the artillery destroy the depth of the Japanese army, suppress the shooting, and suppress the fire on the high ground of the Japanese army; second, the size of our army's shock force must be reduced, this is the mountainous terrain, and the tanks attached to the army should also be stopped immediately. ”

"The firepower of the enemy's high ground is too fierce, and the number of people is to die, and the commander can apply to the military seat to move the artillery position forward and bring the artillery closer, so as to give the infantry practical support, and the infantry attack, although the number is reduced, but you can send a capable force to focus on assaulting the Japanese position, and the main force is ready to attack at any time in the position, once the capable assault force opens the breakthrough, the brigade immediately rushes up and breaks through the Japanese position." Zhang Wei said.

"Sir, this small infantry unit attacking the Japanese high ground must have high combat effectiveness, strong infantry and artillery coordination ability, and firepower.

After presenting the situation, Zhang Wei took the initiative to ask for a battle for his teaching team.

Division Commander Dai was silent for a while, he was the commander of the first division, and he had his own thoughts and ideas, Zhang Wei's proposal was completely based on the idea of teaching the brigade as the center and launching an attack on the Japanese position, but after all, the 200th Division was the main force attacking Kunlun Pass, so that the teaching brigade from the new 22nd Division could attack the Japanese army's high ground alone? Master Dai must think about it.

"You said that you want to move the artillery forward, advance to the forward position, directly bombard the Japanese position, and then send a small force to attack the Japanese position, and the large force is ready to attack at any time in the starting position, this small force is like a sharp knife, with fierce fire and attack power to break the Japanese defense line at one point, and then use a large force to break the Japanese defense line?" Senior Dai asked while thinking.

He did not first allow or refuse to teach the brigade to take charge of the attack on the Japanese position, but first refined the main points and ideas that Zhang Wei said, one is the increase of artillery firepower, and the other is the impact of small forces.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the method of attack proposed by Zhang Wei after presenting his interests, and Master Dai quickly understood Zhang Wei's intentions, but the emphasis was on specific implementation and execution.

"Yes, sir, our infantry and artillery are not able to coordinate well, the army artillery is not weak, but it is far away, I think that the artillery firepower is always not so timely, it is better to move some artillery forward."

Division Commander Dai thought for a while: "This matter is not very easy to handle, the army artillery has heavy artillery, there are mountain artillery, and the place where the column is placed is not far from here, and it is not easy for those large-caliber guns to move forward, I am afraid it will not work." ”

"The heavy artillery can't move, so there must be a cannon that can be pulled up, the artillery of our Fifth Army shouldn't be rich enough to be full of heavy artillery, right?" Zhang Wei asked.

In fact, Zhang Wei believed that in dealing with the Japanese position, the large-caliber heavy artillery was not important, but the important thing was the timeliness and accuracy of fire support, and the artillery position was far behind, and the coordination ability of the 200 divisions was not enough, so the artillery effect was naturally unsatisfactory, and in the end it was the infantry who were unlucky.

Zhang Wei thought to himself, simply pull the artillery that can be pulled up to the front-line position, or even the front line, and directly raise the muzzle of the gun to bombard the Japanese army's firepower point.

In terms of infantry and artillery coordination, there are not a few veterans who have taught the brigade to fight this tactic, and to fight well, the closer the artillery is, the easier it is

Master Dai leaned against the table, flipped out a telegram, and tapped it twice.

"This is a telegram with the artillery, you said to move the artillery forward, the heavy artillery can't move, but this mountain field artillery, moving forward should not be a big problem, as far as I know, there are 38 type 75 field guns in the military artillery group, as well as 75 mm mountain artillery, these two kinds of guns are relatively light in weight, easy to move, and there are no large-caliber heavy guns expensive, I send a telegram to the military seat, and the military seat should be allowed to pull up a few."

"For those heavy artillery and artillery that do not move forward, I think we should also improve the way of shooting, and we must do a good job of sabotage shooting and effective shooting, and I will contact this."

At Zhang Wei's request, Division Commander Dai also wanted the artillery in the rear to improve the way of firing, which was also what Zhang Wei saw.

Zhang Wei smiled: "That's the best. ”

The transfer of artillery of the Fifth Army and the application for artillery improvement went smoothly, and Division Commander Dai solved the artillery problem in just a few words.

Then, Commander Dai turned the conversation around and talked about the core problem of the attack - the assault infantry.

"As for the matter of you teaching the brigade to be the main attacker, I am the commander of the main attack division, and I want you to have a subordinate unit to go to the main attack, but my division is picking peaches on the side, this matter, I can't do it alone, you alone teach the brigade to attack the Japanese army's position, I'm afraid I can't agree to this matter."

Zhang Wei was speechless for a while, to be honest, he understood what Commander Dai meant, but with the quality of the infantry of the 200th Division, playing a good coordination of infantry and artillery, Zhang Wei did not believe it, and the troops that could take on the assault mission, Zhang Wei thought that he could only say that he taught the brigade, and what was the point of not letting the teaching brigade go on, and let the troops assemble over?

The teaching brigade must be the main attack and act as the main force, but when Division Commander Dai said so, Zhang Wei also had to learn to be a little flexible.

"Sir, there are many veterans of our officers and soldiers, with strong infantry and artillery coordination ability and combat technology, I hope that the commander can let my brothers play their due combat strength, but the two hundred brothers in this battle can also send one to participate in the battle, our brigade is the main force, but it also needs fire support, your senior brother's mortar can accompany our brigade to attack, give artillery support, and hope that the commander will allow it!"

……

After a long while, Senior Commander Dai nodded solemnly.

"Okay!"
