Chapter 192: Bloody Battle of Huaiyang (13)

Luo Sanxi is okay, he was born as a miner, black and stout; The one named Wang Xie was thin and withered, with some fine wrinkles on his forehead, and his eyes were hidden under his thick, drooping eyebrows, like an old peasant; There is also a person named Chen Er, whose shoulders are realistically round, his neck is hidden inside, his head seems to grow directly from the ****, his eyes are slippery, and he doesn't look like a good person.

Liu Chen and Ma Biao really didn't look away, and Wang Xie and Chen Er really didn't come from a good background. Wang Xie is a veteran of tomb robbing, and digging holes and graves is his strength; Chen Er is a "thief", that is, a thief or thief.

Needless to say, the veteran tomb robbers have a unique way of digging holes; And the thief bone also has its own uniqueness, Chen Er has an ancestral set of special tools, which can dig through walls with a very small sound, almost imperceptible.

It is this three-column engineer team composed of miners, tomb robbers, and thieves, which seems to be a strange combination, but can play an amazing role.

"Sir, the tunnel in the west has been dug, and there are still dozens of meters in the east, and it is estimated that the work will be completed before dawn tomorrow." Luo Sanxi rubbed his rough big hands, and reported to Yang Tianfeng with some restraint, "Lao Wang and Xiao Chen did a good job, the direction of the cave excavation was extremely accurate, and there was no loud sound when digging through the bricks of the city wall, and the devil didn't seem to be aware of it. ”

Yang Tianfeng nodded, smiled and said to Lao Wang and Xiao Chen, "Hard work, two." Capture Huaiyang, you should be credited. ”

Wang Xie hurriedly arched his hand and said humbly: "Thanks to the praise of the chief, we really can't afford it." Being able to contribute to fighting devils has added luster to our profession. ”

"What you do is not good, it is not a long-term solution, and it will not make future generations look up." Yang Tianfeng said: "But as you said, if you use your expertise to fight devils, I don't dare to say that you will be famous in history, but your name is indispensable in this Huaiyang County Chronicle." ”

Chen Er grinned, not too interested. Wang Xie's eyes flashed, and he was a little eager.

"Well, I won't say much." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment, and his tone became serious, "The city will be attacked tomorrow, and the tunnel in the east must be dug tonight." The suffering people in the city are waiting for recovery, and the devils who do evil will be killed all. Success or failure is up to you. ”

Luo Sanxi's lips moved, and he didn't say anything else, just nodded vigorously.

When Luo Sanxi and the others left, Yang Tianfeng briefly introduced the situation of each person, but it caused Ma Biao and Liu Chen to sigh.

"The rooster and dog thief also have such a strange use, General Yang is comparable to Xinling Jun, and there are many capable people under him!" Liu Chen is more knowledgeable, and his praise is also crepe.

"Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. General Yang can make the best use of people, and Ma admires him very much. Ma Biao's praise is a bit popular, but it is also easy to understand.

Yang Tianfeng smiled and said a few words of humility, put out the map, and discussed tomorrow's siege battle with Liu Chen and Ma Biao.

After having the experience of the bloody battle in Kaifeng and the capture of Sucheng, Yang Tianfeng had a deeper understanding and understanding of the offensive tactics that had been stuck in theory. In the formulation of the operation for the attack on Huaiyang, there was a breakthrough in new tactics.

In addition to digging trenches and approaching the city walls, blasting tunnels, and the all-out influx of siege troops, and breaking the wall, Yang Tianfeng will also adopt new tactics such as two-sided attacks and third-sided feints, in-depth advances, interspersed detours, one point and two sides, and a group of four teams.

"When attacking, concentrate forces at one point, and adopt a combination of vertical (point) and dispersed (surface). The company is a combat unit, and the company is divided into four groups: a fire group, an assault group, a demolition group, and a support group. With the division of labor among the assault companies, the groups can cover each other and cooperate with each other, forming sharp knives with a long head and a long tail. ”

Yang Tianfeng paused and said, "Of course, such tactics need to be learned and skilled in order to be mastered and applied freely by the troops. Now Huaiyang is a place for actual combat practice, and there are only about 500 devils, and they are at a disadvantage in terms of heavy firearms and troops, even if the siege troops cannot use tactics freely, it is only a chaotic situation. ”

"The first cavalry division is not afraid to dismount and fight on foot." Ma Biao expressed his determination to participate in the battle, and said in a deep voice: "The melee weapons of the Third Column are sharp, and the officers and men of the First Cavalry Division are brave and not afraid of death. ”

Yang Tianfeng nodded and said: "The three columns are out of the technical arms, carrying grenade launchers, steel fists, and supporting a batch of machine guns and shotguns, and the battle is commanded by the officers of the 1st Cavalry Division, and the west will be handed over to your department." ”

It's straightforward, not muddy. Liu Chen nodded again and again, and said: "After this battle, I suggest that the 1st Cavalry Division form an infantry brigade, and those officers and soldiers who participated in the siege can be used as the backbone. ”

The battle damage of the 1st Cavalry Division is not easy to replenish, the personnel are not the problem, the key is the horses. Qinghai is thousands of miles away, and even if Qingma agrees to transport horses, there are great difficulties in reality.

Ma Biao also understands this clearly. It is not only necessary to form infantry brigades to replenish the troops, but also to recruit local soldiers and break down ethnic and religious barriers.

"An infantry brigade of about a thousand people, and most of the weapons and equipment can be solved by brothers." Yang Tianfeng agreed with Liu Chen's suggestion and said with a smile: "The capture of this operation can also be picked by the First Cavalry Division first. ”

"That's embarrassing." Ma Biao laughed twice, and sighed again, "The weapons and equipment of the 1st Cavalry Division are poor, and it really has to be General Yang, oh, and there is more support in the war zone." ”

Weapons and ammunition are not only the difficulties of the 1st Cavalry Division, but also in the theater and even in the whole country, this is a problem that exists in the Chinese army, but there are large and small, and the severity is different.

Although it was late at night, Yang Tianfeng and the others had to wait for the battle report, and no one went to rest. The seized Japanese canned food was put on the table, and the three of them replaced the wine with tea, chatting while eating.

"The Three Columns are so brave and good at fighting, what other tricks does General Yang have besides the method of military training?" Ma Biao's intuition told him that there must be other reasons for this.

Yang Tianfeng smiled faintly and said: "I don't dare to say what the trick is, I just do my best to let the soldiers have care for their injuries and die with compassion, and try not to worry about the future." ”

"There is care for the wounded, and there is compassion for the dead. It's easier said than done. Liu Chen seemed to think of the treatment of the Third Army, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "General Yang, please be more detailed, and we can learn from one or two." ”

Naturally, the national army has provisions on medical treatment and bereavement benefits, but the implementation is very poor. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even officers who get out of class, if they don't make a lot of money, they will fall into a situation of embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
