Now that he wants to break through, if this guy is too close, he will be attacked by the enemy when he breaks through. Therefore, how much time can be left for yourself now with this tail behind you is really the key factor related to the success or failure of the breakthrough. The Japanese themselves can't move at every turn, and they have a crazy energy when they come up.

At present, Tsuruta Numan is biting on himself again, and he clearly looks like he will not give up if he does not completely solve himself. As soon as the gunshots rang out here, you still have to rush over like a madman? The Japanese puppet army under the mountain is a mixed unit of the Japanese puppet army. Even if the puppet army has poor combat effectiveness, there are still Japanese troops among them.

And the puppet army under the mountain, He Sanliang has a high opinion of the puppet army under the mountain. He Sanliang has always been a steady person, he has basically never deliberately exaggerated, and he is not the kind of person who is untargeted and alarmist. Especially this guy, although he is from a ragtag army over there, his vision is still quite high.

Just like the three armies on the Linxian side where he was originally located, except for the fortieth army where he was located. Even the elite 27th Army of the Central Army, he was a little unsightly. His evaluation of this central army is that it is well-equipped, dares to fight tough battles, and the quality of officers who have graduated from the Central Military Academy is generally better than that of the miscellaneous army from the army.

It's okay to fight a good fight, but it's not impossible to fight a tough fight. It is possible to fight against the wind, especially when retreating, and the control of the troops by middle-level officers, including some high-ranking officers, is far inferior to that of a ragtag army. He has always believed that the cohesion within the Central Army is generally inferior to that of the miscellaneous army.

In an unfavorable situation, it is easy to be broken through at one point, resulting in the collapse of the whole line. The independent survivability of officers at all levels is far inferior to that of the Eighth Route Army, or even inferior to the ordinary miscellaneous army. The 27th Army, the elite of the Central Army, has such an evaluation in his eyes, let alone other troops?

may be part of the miscellaneous brand of the old Northwest Army, Li Ziyuan always feels that He Sanliang, this guy, is somewhat biased in his evaluation of the troops from the former Northwest Army. For the troops from the old Northwest Army, the general evaluation is quite high. Dare to fight tough battles, especially against the wind.

Dare to fight hand-to-hand combat, dare to fight with a big knife, have a very high spirit of death, can also endure hardships, and has a strong ability to fight at night. The more difficult the time, the more united the troops. Even if the battle is lost, it can be defeated without dispersing. This is the general advantage of the troops from their Northwest Army system. Of course, the disadvantages are not without them, but compared to other factions, they are still quite good.

On the contrary, he looked down on the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army in his heart. It is believed that the Central Army has a lot of money and good equipment, but the internal cohesion of the troops is far inferior to that of the Northwest Army. The officer's ability to control the troops below is far inferior to that of the average ragtag army. Especially when the battle is lost, it is a real rout.

This guy not only has a high opinion of the 40th Army where he is located, thinking that his troops are poorly equipped, but he dares to fight, fight, and dare to go up at a critical time. The two armies that were separated from the 29th Army of the former Northwest Army system are also quite highly evaluated. It is believed that they not only dare to fight and fight, maintaining the tradition of the Northwest Army, but also are quite well-equipped.

When the two of them were talking in private, this guy talked about the experience of fighting with the 59th Army during the Battle of Linyi, and his tone was very envious of the weapons and equipment of the 59th Army at that time. At the time of the Battle of Linyi, the 40th Army to which he belonged was repeatedly downsized before the war because there was only one division in one army. So the number of light weapons is plentiful, and even somewhat overnumbered.

But the quality of weapons is far from being comparable with that of the 59th Army. The rifles are all Hanyang-made and Jin-made rifles, and although there are 60 heavy machine guns, most of them are old-fashioned goods. Some heavy machine guns, even the rifling is almost worn out. Although the number of light machine guns is large, these more than 600 light machine guns are of different calibers. As for heavy weapons, there were only four mountain guns, dozens of mortars.

Although this weapon is better than that of ordinary miscellaneous armies, it is compared with the 59th Army, which also belongs to the remnants of the Northwest Army. The 59th Army's Czech-made rifles, Dagu and original Czech-style light machine guns, as well as French-made Hatch Chase heavy machine guns and Dagu-made Makqin heavy machine guns. The mountain artillery built in the northeast is far from being comparable to his 40th Army.

He Sanliang has always looked up to the troops from the Northwest Army system. He always believed that the various units of the Northwest Army, except for their poor equipment, were no worse than the Central Army. The former generals of the Northwest Army he gave, especially the famous generals of the Northwest Army, it is not surprising that the puppet army trained and commanded is highly evaluated.

Li Ziyuan thinks that He Sanliang's evaluation is somewhat biased. At least Li Ziyuan believed that the Central Army in Chongqing was no worse than the Northwest Army in terms of military technology. However, Li Ziyuan believes that He Sanliang's evaluation of the troops from the Northwest Army is generally not low in combat effectiveness still has a certain amount of truth, so he also took this into account when he made tactical deployments.

And He Sanliang looked at the expression on Li Ziyuan's face, hesitated for a moment and continued: "This puppet army has strong combat effectiveness and is very united internally. Although there are only two heavy machine guns, the number of light machine guns is quite large. In terms of the resilience of the old Northwest Army, a breakthrough may not be able to drive the front line. ”

"Once the fight is stalemate, the Japanese puppet army on both flanks outflanks it, and the one behind is squeezing, the overall situation will be extremely unfavorable to us. Regiment commander, we still have to think more about ways in terms of tactical deployment. For this puppet army, we must be cautious in our tactical deployment, and we must not treat them as these puppet armies in Shanxi. ”

He Sanliang's voice fell, and Li Ziyuan did not answer him immediately, but raised the telescope and kept looking at the mountain, falling into deep thought. Although it was already dark at this time, the bonfires lit by the Japanese puppet army under the mountain every thirty meters for lighting were enough to provide Li Ziyuan with the required brightness.

After pondering for a while, Li Ziyuan cautiously went down the hill he was observing, and said to He Sanliang, who was following him: "You will find Lao Zhang and several battalion cadres, as well as Lao He and the commander of the heavy machine gun company, and see how much stock we still have." You collect it, leave the three battalions of light machine guns except two, and transfer the rest to the second battalion along with *. ”

Hearing Li Ziyuan's order, He Sanliang immediately turned around and went to arrange. After Zhang Zijian and a few people rushed over, they saw a few cadres, and Li Ziyuan also said directly: "Under the mountain in front, there is a blockade line formed by the little devils with the puppet army and some Japanese troops. On the other side of the blockade line is Huguan, as long as we rush through, we can basically get out of danger. ”

"The situation is tense, the little devil behind us is biting tightly, we don't have much time to ink here. So I decided, clenched my fists and punched it in one go. Now I order that the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion, which we have the most complete at hand, be used as the Sharp Knife Company, and that all * and light machine guns be transferred to the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion. ”

"This company is under my personal command, and in conjunction with the reconnaissance company, it acts as a sharp knife company for the breakthrough. After the fourth company opened the gap, the five or six companies of the second battalion, commanded by Lao Zhang, immediately spread out along the breach to the two flanks, covering the non-combatants and heavy weapons behind, and blocking the third battalion that was following the Japanese army from breaking through. ”

"The remaining units of the battalion were commanded by the commissar and were responsible for covering the breakthrough of heavily armed and non-combatants. Lao Zhang, you remember that after the third battalion passed through the blockade line, you must not fall in love with the war. I'll leave you with all but one of the three battalions of heavy machine guns. Don't be reluctant to let go of bullets, everything is mainly to cover the passage of follow-up troops, and if the bullets run out of heavy machine guns, blow them up. ”

"But Lao Zhang, when he didn't receive my order to retreat. Your blocking force must be nailed to me like nails on both flanks of the breach. Even if all the divisions of the puppet army are transferred, they are absolutely not allowed to retreat half a step. After opening the breach, I will strengthen some of the light machine guns for you as well. ”

After explaining to Zhang Zijian, Li Ziyuan turned his head to He Huizhang and said, "In a while, your artillery company will follow me." The battle on my side has started, and your artillery company must knock out those two heavy machine guns for me as soon as possible. If there are any shells left, then throw them at me on both wings. I don't care how many shells you have left, but this is not the time to feel distressed. ”

After Li Ziyuan finished speaking, He Huizhang touched his head and said, "Commander, we only have consumption these days, and we have not replenished at all." I only have nine shells left on hand now, and if I run out, what will I do when I enter the Huguan battlefield? A mortar without shells is not as good as a rifle. You can't let me be like Lao Zhou, turn into an infantry now. ”

He Huizhang's answer, Li Ziyuan said without the slightest hesitation: "If you shoot light, you will shoot it all, as long as you can cover the troops to rush out, even if you use up all the ammunition, it will be worth it." You, like Lao Zhang's side, blow up the mortar for me if the shells run out, so as not to slow down the marching speed of the troops. ”

"Remember, weapons can be replenished at any time as long as people are present. If you run out of people, no one can use them even if they are caught. You have to learn more about this with Lao Zhou. I will let Lao Zhou supervise you in a while, if you kid dares to ambush me, and I am reluctant to shoot out the mortar with all the shells, even if it costs one person, I will pick your kid's skin. ”

After giving He Huizhang a death order, Li Ziyuan confessed to Ma Yongcheng. Let him give the remaining mules to the female parts who follow the troops. Every female cadre is surrounded by a warrior to protect them. Not a single female soldier must be left behind or fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

All the rest, immediately carry out a full lightweight. All the spare ammunition carried was sent to the troops. In particular, the three battalions after the break should be equipped with as much ammunition as possible. Any surplus weapons that can no longer be carried are to be destroyed immediately and on the spot.

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan looked at the watch on his wrist, waved his hand and said, "I won't say much nonsense, remember that after the breakthrough is opened, your movements must be fierce." At the fastest speed, move in the direction of the breakthrough. The Japanese puppet army in the surrounding area has a division of the puppet army and a formed infantry brigade of the Japanese army. ”

"As soon as the guns on our side go off, the surrounding Japanese puppet army will arrive in the shortest possible time like flies smelling blood. And this puppet army is not only quite well-equipped, but also quite strong in combat effectiveness. Once the movement is slower by half a beat, it is very easy to be trapped in the enclosure. ”

"Therefore, in this breakthrough, except for the three battalions after the break, the rest of the troops must move quickly. After the fourth company opened the passage to break through, it was necessary to rush across the road at the first time. If we hesitate or delay a little, what awaits us may be the destruction of the entire army. ”
