"What about tactical abilities? I'm talking about tank tactics. Zhuang Jihua's worries were undisguised.

Xu Zuyi and Gong Chu both looked at Zhuang Jihua with some puzzlement, they didn't know that Zhuang Jihua also had research on tank tactics, in their opinion, the biggest function of the tank was to cover the infantry charge, could there be any other tactics?

Qiu Qingquan replied very seriously: "The unit has been established for a relatively short time, and it has only mastered the basic tactics of the tank, such as the change of formation and the transformation of attack and defense. ”

"What about the company's offensive tactics and group offensive tactics of the tank?" Zhuang Jihua asked persistently.

Qiu Qingquan's face turned red, and after a while, he said: "I have studied at the Army University in Berlin, but the 200th Division has not yet conducted exercises in this regard. ”

"Officer, what about the officer? Where did all the officers of the 200th Division come from? Zhuang Jihua interrupted him and continued to ask, there is no special tactical training, and experienced officers can also do it.

"Most of the officers of the tank regiment are cadets who graduated from mechanized schools, one-third of them participated in the Songhu War of Resistance with the tank regiment of the teaching corps, and each company is equipped with a Soviet and Russian adviser." Qiu Qingquan's expression became more and more nervous, and he judged that Zhuang Jihua must be planning a big battle, and his tank must play an important role in it.

Zhuang Jihua's expression was only slightly relaxed at this time, Xu Zuyi sighed softly, stepped forward and pointed to the map, and said: "Commander Zhuang, Sun Tongxuan is tight there, see if you put the fast column there." Yoshio Shinozuka's attack is fast, giving him a counterattack. ”

Zhuang Jihua shook his head in opposition without even looking at the map, Gong Chu saw that Zhuang Jihua had a plan for the fast column, and he silently waited for Zhuang Jihua to reveal the mystery.

"Qiu madman," Zhuang Jihua suddenly called Qiu Qingquan's nickname, but Qiu Qingquan was not angry, he grinned: "Senior, if there is any task, it is guaranteed to be completed, if there is a slight mistake, you will take my head off." ”

Zhuang Jihua glared at him, and then said lightly: "Guderian told you about the rapid and large-depth attack of large-scale tanks, that is, blitzkrieg." ”

The term blitzkrieg was "proposed" by him, and once it was proposed, Guderian agreed, believing that this name accurately described the characteristics of tank warfare, which was as quick as a spark and as fast as lightning, destroying the enemy's defense line like a withering and decaying force.

"As I said, it is to use the assault capability of tanks, with the cooperation of the air force, to tear apart the enemy's battle line, and then attack the enemy's depth." Xu Zuyi and Gong Chu didn't know that Qiu Qingquan had always been arrogant, and even more arrogant after returning from Germany, even Huangpu teachers like Liu Zhi could not enter his eyes, and rarely answered questions honestly: "Guderian didn't talk in detail, he was forming the first tank army of the German army at that time, and the time was very tight, but he said that if there is anything he doesn't understand, you can ask you." He said that this tactic was created by you and him, and he said that this tactic was researched and created by you and him. ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't say a word after hearing this, his arms were wrapped around his chest, his right hand held his chin and pondered for a while, no one bothered him at this moment, Gong Xiuhua and Jian An came in successively, and stood silently aside when they saw this scene.

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Jihua finally made up his mind, looked up and saw Gong Xiuhua and Jian An asked.

Gong Xiuhua didn't speak, but took a step back, and Jian An stepped forward and said: "Dangshan is lost, the 20th Army retreats to Dayangji, the 40th Army retreats to Xiayi, and the Tang Commander and Pang Commander ask for reinforcements. ”

Zhuang Jihua knew in his heart that before the war, Pang Bingxun's 40th Army had increased to 15,000 people, and although he had not undertaken any important tasks in this operation, the losses would definitely be not small after such a long time.

"How many men are left in the Forty Army?"

"Less than seven thousand." Jian An sighed, not the loss of the 40th Army is very large, the loss of the 20th Army is also large, the 3rd Army and 1st Division of the 20th Army have the original strength of nearly 80,000 people, and after repeated bloody battles, there are now only more than 30,000 people left, of which there are only more than 10,000 people left in the Guan Lin Expedition Department of the 51st Army, less than half of the full formation.

"Order the 46th Army to go north to reinforce Xiayi, and tell Fan Songfu that if this battle is fought, I will not hold him responsible for retreating from the north bank of the Hun River without authorization. Zhuang Jihua said coldly that the unauthorized retreat of Fan Songfu and Liu Ruming disrupted his deployment, especially the deployment behind enemy lines.

"Commander, why don't you let the 74th Army go." Gong Chu suggested at the right time.

"No, the Seventy-Fourth Army has another use." Zhuang Jihua shook his head simply, and then asked Gong Xiuhua: "What about you?" ”

Gong Xiuhua shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, you better deal with military affairs first." ”

Zhuang Jihua immediately understood, there must be something wrong with Chongqing, and it was inconvenient for Gong Xiuhua to say on this occasion, so he didn't ask anymore, turned to Xu Zuyi, Gong Chu and Qiu Qingquan and said: "I have drawn up a counterattack plan, the target is Ando Rikichi's Fifth Division, Twenty-eighth Division, Thirty-ninth Division, Forty-ninth Group Army and Seventy-fourth Army, and the Fast Column are the main forces of this **, and they are chosen because they are the closest to us, and the terrain around Xiayi and Yucheng is flat, which is conducive to the implementation of tank warfare." But there are many rivers in this area, although most of these rivers are not big, but they still create a lot of obstacles, Qiu madman, how is your engineer battalion's ability to build bridges? ”

"It's okay, with enough materials, you can build a bridge in two hours, and it's the dry season in winter, and most of the rivers in this area can be waded in vain." Qiu Qingquan fought in this area during the Great War in the Central Plains, and is familiar with the terrain here.

Zhuang Jihua thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "You can't take risks, I will assign you the engineer regiment of the 49th Group Army, and you must ensure that the tanks move quickly." ”

"Commander, you want to fight a blitzkrieg?" Qiu Qingquan understood a little what Zhuang Jihua wanted to do, and asked worriedly, don't look at his confidence just now, but large-scale tank operations require all units to have a considerable understanding of tank tactics, and the 200th Division has not yet completed such training.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, Qiu Qingquan hesitated to explain, but Zhuang Jihua stretched out a finger and asked him not to speak for the time being.

"In order to achieve the goal of completely defeating Ando Toshiyoshi, in the south, the New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division must block Yamashita Fumibun south of Yongcheng; On the northern front, to strengthen the Second Army, it was necessary to block Yoshio Shinozuka and Masaki Ito to the west of the old road of the Yellow River. The 27th Army and the 23rd Army and the 60th Army of the 23rd Group Army were transferred from Xue Yue's Department to form the Northern Front Attack Corps, commanded by Du Yuming, to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army attacking Lanfeng and contain the offensive of Ito, Xue Yue commanded the 71st Army and the 21st Army, and the Eighth Army was also assigned to the command of Xue Yue, Xue Yue must ensure Kaifeng, and Shang Zhen commanded the 32nd Army and the First Army to ensure Zhengzhou. ”

Xu Zuyi keenly found that Zhuang Jihua divided the 23rd Group Army into two pieces here, which made him a little puzzled, he didn't know whether to believe Tang Shizun or to make such an arrangement in order to let Du Yuming be the commander-in-chief.

"Commander, with such a deployment, will Commander Tang of the 23rd Group Army have an opinion?" Since being scolded, Xu Zuyi no longer refuses to call Zhuang Jihua's words, only the official title, and Zhuang Jihua doesn't care, as if he doesn't notice it at all.

"Tang Shizun's ability is limited, if it were Pan Wenhua, I wouldn't deploy it like this." Zhuang Jihua told the truth, he was also puzzled by Liu Xiang's arrangement, Pan Wenhua's ability was obviously stronger than Tang Shizun, why did he make him the deputy commander and succumb to Tang Shizun, is Pan Wenhua not Liu Xiang's cronies? Zhuang Jihua was a little puzzled.

Xu Zuyi didn't expect Zhuang Jihua to hide it at all, he couldn't help but be stunned, Zhuang Jihua looked at him and smiled: "Don't worry, I still know Pan Wenhua well, and it will be fine." ”

Then Zhuang Jihua turned his head to Qiu Qingquan and said: "Among them, I am most worried about you," Qiu Qingquan did not speak, he knew what Zhuang Jihua was worried about, Zhuang Jihua continued: "Rapid assault and in-depth combat, not only must be proficient in the use of tanks, but also have some armored infantry to cooperate, your troops are fast columns, this fast column is not the speed of marching, but the strength and intensity of strikes." You have to go deep into the Japanese army and completely disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army. Chief of Staff Xu, you take over my command for one day, and I will talk in detail with Deputy Division Commander Qiu about the tactics that will be used, and then I will only give you two days to teach your subordinates. ”

Xu Zuyi nodded in agreement, and Zhuang Jihua pulled Qiu Qingquan to the next room. This room is guarded by Zhuang Jihua's guards, and since two days ago, no one except Zhuang Jihua is allowed to step into the room for half a step.

After entering the door, Qiu Qingquan saw a huge sand table in the room, but if you look closely, although this sand table is large, it is not very detailed, and there are more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles made of cardboard boxes on the sand table, forming several columns.

"Actually, there is nothing special about large-scale tank combat, if there is anything special about it, it is different from the traditional way of using tanks, in which tanks are only appendages of infantry; In large-scale tank combat, the tank is an independent strike force, relying on rapid action, strong firepower and protection capabilities, the tank can exist as an independent branch of the army.

Tank combat is first of all an assault, with a large group of tanks, such as a hundred, destroying the enemy's defense line before it has been formed, and then entering the enemy's depth of operation,......。 ”

For three hours, the two of them stayed at home, Qiu Qingquan had been listening to Zhuang Jihua's discussion on tank combat, he rushed to the extreme, and it was like returning to the classroom of the Berlin Army University, listening to the instructor's lecture, Zhuang Jihua explained to him in detail the attack formation of the tank, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various formations, the formation conversion between attack and defense, the model on the sand table was placed over, Zhuang Jihua showed great patience.

Qiu Qingquan's comprehension ability is extremely strong, maybe his foundation in this area is good, he understands many things as soon as he talks about it, and after dinner, he can discuss it with Zhuang Jihua.

After all, such a quick course cannot replace the training of the entire army, and no one is sure what kind of battle it can achieve in actual combat.

"You take these tanks away," when the sky was twilight, Zhuang Jihua felt that Qiu Qingquan had roughly understood the tactical thinking and tactical actions of tank warfare, so he pointed to the tank model on the sand table: "There is no time for perfect training, but you must at least put your cadres above the company level on the sand table." ”

"Understood." Qiu Qingquan was full of confidence, he gained a lot this night, Zhuang Jihua shocked him again, no wonder Guderian asked him to go to Zhuang Jihua if he didn't understand after returning to China, Zhuang Jihua explained that it was no worse than Guderian, and even stronger.

"If you have any other requirements, mention them now."

"Logistics, gasoline and ammunition." Qiu Qingquan immediately said that in addition to reporting on the application for tasks, Qiu Qingquan came to the headquarters this time to solve the logistical problem.

"Logistics, you go to General Wang Geng, gasoline and ammunition are available, Hong Junqi has already been delivered."

"Yes, thank you, Commander, I'm leaving." After Qiu Qingquan finished speaking, he saluted Zhuang Jihua, and then turned around and left.

As soon as he went out and didn't take two steps, the door of the room next to him opened, and the palace embroidery painting came out of it, Qiu Qingquan couldn't help frowning, of course he knew the palace embroidery painting, he knew it when he was at the Huangpu Military Academy, he didn't like this woman, he didn't like it at that time, but he also knew that Zhuang Jihua was very good to her.

"You can't let the seniors take a break."

"You, Qiu Madman, also care about people? The sun came out in the west. Among the first three students of Huangpu, she knew more than Zhuang Jihua, and Qiu Qingquan was naturally not a problem.

"Alas, I said Miss Gong..."As soon as Qiu Qingquan said this, Zhuang Jihua came out and appeared by the door: "Crazy Qiu, do you have a lot of time?" ”

Qiu Qingquan saw Zhuang Jihua's gloomy face and was about to get angry, and secretly screamed in his heart, and immediately replied: "I'll leave immediately." With that, he turned around and strode away.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" After Zhuang Jihua let the palace embroidery painting into the door, he closed the door before asking.

"Zaitian sent a telegram saying two things, both of which were terrible." Gong Xiuhua sighed: "Liu Xiang is seriously ill, and it is likely that he will not be able to spend the Spring Festival." The other is the matter of the prince, he strictly banned smoking, gambling and prostitution in Chongqing, which aroused the opposition of the remaining troops of various armies, and he began to reach out to the Sichuan Development Company, thinking that the Sichuan Development Company was a monopoly and must be split, Tian Songyao almost turned his face with him. ”

Before the palace embroidery painting was said, Zhuang Jihua knew that the matter in Chongqing must be small, but he didn't expect it to be such a big event; Once Liu Xiang is seriously ill, the originally stable political situation in Sichuan will immediately change, and the shares of the Sichuan Development Company will also change; Chiang Ching-kuo was surprised to reach out to the development company so quickly, was this his own idea or was it ordered by Chiang Kai-shek? Zhuang Jihua was not sure for a while, but the Sichuan Development Company must not be demolished.
