Reading the military department of the army.

Zhang Mingyu stood in front of the map, the smoke of American cigarettes in his hand, he pointed to the map and said: "According to the telegram sent by Ma Liqun, the army has assembled two divisions and set out from Xinzhou in an attempt to invade Ningwu, Shuozhou and other places. ”

Before Zhang Mingyu finished speaking, Lai San hurriedly said: "His grandmother's, the two divisions of the dog's little devil dare to attack our territory, the military seat, you can give the order, I will take the third division to do what he was raised!" ”

"What if the little devils are adding more than fifty tanks and twenty armored vehicles?" Zhang Mingyu asked, "Are you sure you can beat them?" ”

Lai San scratched his head and said: "There are so many tanks in the dog, this is really not easy to do, but if you borrow the armored division from a regiment, I can be sure to give it a try!" ”

Zhang Mingyu didn't bother with Lai San, but said: "Ishihara, this old devil is not a fool, he will definitely not be stupid to send only two divisions to attack us, so I conclude that they are definitely prepared." And we can't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the devils this time, according to Ma Liqun in the telegram, the establishment of these two divisions is definitely better than that of first-class divisions! ”

"What the military seat said is right, there is another point that we need to recognize, that is, after our soldiers went through the battle of Datong, the casualties were not replenished for a while. This time, the plague virus has had a negative impact on the hearts of many soldiers, resulting in a certain decline in the combat effectiveness of various units. Zhang Biao continued.

"Hmm!" Zhang Biao's words were agreed by everyone present, and a regiment commander said: "What the division said is right, some soldiers in our regiment trembled with fear when they heard about the plague. Because he saw a platoon of brothers all die in front of him because of the virus. ”

"That's why I've called you here to announce to you the battle plan for this time. I commanded???" Zhang Mingyu finished speaking.

Everyone present stood up straight, looked at Zhang Mingyu, and waited for his order.

Zhang Mingyu paused and said: "I ordered the first division to be immediately mobilized and prepare to reinforce the second division, and the third division was stationed on the spot to protect the safety of the people in Datong and the surrounding areas. If you don't have any doubts, go ahead and prepare! ”

"Yes!" The crowd responded to the promise, and immediately scattered as birds and beasts, and took the order to go.

After everyone left, Zhang Mingyu said to Fang Jun: "In addition, send a telegram to Wang Tiehan of the Fourth Division, and ask him to lead the Fourth Division to immediately secretly drive to Wuzhai County and other places, waiting for the opportunity to march towards Xinzhou." Tell Wang Tiehan to keep the secret surname of the march, and choose to march at night as much as possible so that the army will not be noticed! ”

"Yes!" Fang Jun stood up and walked out of the headquarters in a big stride.

As soon as Fang Jun left, Xu Huxing, the commander of the armored division who came in a hurry, walked in in a hurry, and when he saw Zhang Mingyu, he asked, "Junzao, what is the combat mission of our armored division?" ”

Zhang Mingyu said calmly: "Your armored division is on standby, and when it's time for you to get on, I'll naturally let you go!" ”

As soon as he heard that there was no task, Xu Hu was anxious, and he said anxiously: "Junza, I heard that the devils from Xinzhou have the strength of two first-class divisions, and they also have more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles, if you don't let us go to the armored division, the brothers of the second division will suffer a big loss, what if we can't stop the devil's tank?" ”

"You can rest assured that the second division's attack capability (ability to attack fortifications) may not be as good as the first and third divisions, but fighting a positional defensive battle with the little devils is no worse than the first and third divisions. Coupled with the cooperation of the Flying Eagle Brigade, it is not a problem to block the attack of the devils. Moreover, the first division has already set off, and it will be able to reach Ningwu in two days at most. Zhang Mingyu said.

What Zhang Mingyu said is not bad at all: After the bloody battle on the Yellow River last year, the combat effectiveness of the Second Division has risen by more than one notch, especially in that kind of positional defensive warfare, and commanders at all levels are extremely skilled in the tactical use of defensive warfare. The coordination between the units was perfect.

Last time, the Second Division, with the strength of one division, relied on the Yellow River to block the onslaught of the three main divisions of the Yue Army, which shows the strength of its combat effectiveness, and fighting positional warfare is its strong point.

With the cooperation of the Air Force, blocking the onslaught of the two divisions of the devil should not be a problem in a short period of time.

Xu Hu wanted to say something, Zhang Mingyu waved his hand to stop him and said: "I know that the brothers are very high in seeking war, but you, as the commander of the army, can't also follow the hot-headed, you have to learn to use your brain, as the so-called just use the blade, when it's time for you to hide, you can't hide, go back and do more ideological work for the brothers, let the brothers recuperate, your armored division is a sharp sword, you have to polish this sword to Lao Tzu, when Lao Tzu wants to use it, it must be extremely sharp and sharpen iron like clay!" Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" Xu Hu stood up and responded loudly.

"Let's go back!" Zhang Mingyu gestured.

"Yes!" Xu Hu suddenly agreed, and immediately turned around and left.

Zhang Mingyu shook his head and said: "It seems that we should consider assigning several political commissars to each unit, the ideological work of the soldiers is still very important, and the thinking of the commanders and fighters must be consistent!" ”

However, at present, the entire Reading Force Army really can't find a decent learned officer to take on the role of political commissar, and only after recovering Pingjin, recruit some new recruits from various schools, and then slowly train them into a qualified military political commissar.

In the city of Xinzhou, Ishihara moved the headquarters from Taiyuan to Xinzhou and established the former enemy headquarters.

At this time, the headquarters was star-studded, and the division commanders of each division gathered in the Xinzhou headquarters.

Since all the divisions and regiments were under the direct command of the wing commanders and brigade commanders, the commanders of these divisions also set up the division headquarters in Xinzhou City. Basically, the combat orders of each unit were issued directly by Ishihara.

The newly appointed commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Mio Kawabe, reported to Ishihara Wan'er: "General Ishihara, our unit has arrived in Daniudian Town and other places, and at most this afternoon we will be able to launch an attack on the people of Ningwu!" ”

"Sanxiongjun, don't go deep alone this time, we have superior forces, we must work closely with the Sixth Division to fight steadily, and slowly defeat the Chinese people!" Ishihara instructed.

"Hayi!" Bearing in mind the general's teachings, although Kawabe Mio is also the commander of a lieutenant general's division, he is respectful to Ishihara Waner, because it was the Manchurian Incident planned by Ishihara Waner and Itachi Seishiro, and a large part of all the officers of the army think that Ishihara and Banheng are the heroes of the Great Empire, and Ishihara Waner is also the former deputy chief of staff, although he is now out of office, but everyone knows that this is to be able to exterminate the reading force of the middle [***] team, and wait until the reading force is wiped out. Who knows if Ishihara will become a new deputy chief of staff or even a higher position.

Therefore, several division commanders, including Mitsuo Riverbe, respected Ishihara Waner very much and resolutely carried out his orders!

After finishing speaking, Ishihara asked the new commander of the Sixth Division, Ichiro Saki, "Saki-kun, where is the Sixth Division now?" ”

Ichiro Saki stood up and replied: "Our division is less than twenty kilometers away from the ninth division, and since our division is responsible for escorting a large number of baggage and other materials, the marching speed is a little slow, but as long as you give the order, general, our division can enter the battle at any time!" ”

"I want the West!" Ishihara nodded and said, "Saki-kun, please speed up your march, strive to maintain close contact with the Ninth Division, and fight together!" ”

"Hay!" Ichiro Saki said with a sudden bow.

Next, Ishihara asked about the situation of the 114th Division and the 18th Division, and explained that they should speed up the march and strive to reach the city of Datong as soon as possible.

Yangjia Village on the outskirts of Ningwu has become the forward and peripheral position of the Second Division.

The 2nd Division had already built field fortifications to prevent the counterattack of the Japanese army when it withdrew to Ningwu, and now these field fortifications have played a role, and the soldiers have dug the trenches from the ground up to the bottom.

Due to the cold weather, the ground was very hard, but the soldiers were not afraid of hardship, and their hands were blistered with blood, and they still worked hard to dig trenches and strengthen them!

The weather is relatively cold, although it is difficult to dig, but the dug up soil pile in front of the trench to make a bunker, pour a little cold river water, the bar will freeze overnight, bullets hit it can not shake it at all, strong fortifications can provide better cover for the soldiers, reduce casualties.

All trenches were built with a narrow top and wide bottom, so as to withstand the shrapnel of enemy shells and provide better protection for the infantry in the trenches.

There is also a single cat's ear hole every ten meters in the trench, and there is an anti-artillery hole here. Each fifty meters and a large anti-artillery hole could be used for a platoon of fighters to hide from enemy shelling.

Zhang Mingyu invented all kinds of positional warfare methods were learned by Ling Tianbao, and he ordered the soldiers to lay a large number of mines in front of the first trench, such as scorpion mines, chain mines, and sub-mother mines.

The entire forward position has become a minefield, just waiting for the little devils to come and die.

The first trench was also designed for the devil's short stature, the trench was about two meters deep, and each soldier carried a wooden stool made with the help of the villagers. Each trench is connected by an intricate communication ditch, and the troops can support the forward units in the shortest possible time.

Ling Tianbao's troop deployment also adopted a heavy force deployment in the front and heavy in the rear, and he even set up a warning position 800 meters away from the forward position.

And where to send a squad of fighters to station, you must know that the light and heavy machine guns and small cannons (grenadiers, mortars) of the little devils are perfectly coordinated, and only the preset alert positions in the forward positions can force the devils to change the attack formation in advance.

This was figured out in the bloody battles with the devil again and again, and it was only today that Ling Tianbao was able to convince Zhang Mingyu, and the tactics he invented that he usually couldn't look at and couldn't think of were really effective against the little devils.

In response to Zhang Mingyu's words, in fact, as long as you think carefully about the little devils and understand their tactics and tactics, it will be easy to defeat them!

The army is the same old-fashioned, unchanged tactic for 10,000 years. It was this tactic that swept across the Chinese battlefield at that time, and [***] collapsed at the touch of a button in the early battle.

It was this tactic that fought in Southeast Asia, in which the British army threw away its armor and raised a white flag to surrender, and a division almost swept through a country.

But the arrival of Zhang Mingyu is destined to be a tragedy for the advanced tactics that the little devil is proud of!
