Chapter 545: Infantry Coordination
Da Shanyan was stunned suddenly, and he didn't react for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The deputy chief of staff did not hesitate and continued: "According to the report of the chief of staff, the Liaodong Army that attacked them also suffered heavy losses..."
"In that case, we can send troops to reinforce the battlefield and destroy the Liaodong Army when it is at its weakest!"
"You know, no matter how big our losses are on the battlefield, we can get backup. However, the Liaodong Army, which has limited strength and strength, has no backup, and in the battle, their strength will be weakened a little if they lose one person! ”
"In addition, we can also order the commander of the Noda Division in the direction of Anshan to abandon the original task, concentrate our forces, and attack and advance in the direction of Liaoyang! There is only one main division of the Liaodong Army in the Anshan direction, and as long as they find a way, they will definitely be able to break through the interception of the Liaodong Army. “
Dashanyan finally reacted at this time, his eyes lit up and said: "The main force of the Liaodong Army surrounds us with more than 10,000 remnants, and we will concentrate four or five divisions to surround the main force of the Liaodong Army." Inside and outside, I'm sure that we will win in the end! ”
Da Shanyan, who was in a much better mood in an instant, continued: "As long as the main force of the Liaodong Army is eaten in Liaoyang, the garrison troops left behind in the base area of the Liaodong Army are not worried. At that time, as long as one or two divisions enter Liaozhong, the Liaodong Army will be completely wiped out by us! ”
The more he talked, the more he felt that he had a good chance of winning, Oyama Yan quickly made a decision and ordered to the deputy chief of staff.
"Contact the commander of the Noda Division and move closer to the direction of Liaozhong at all costs! Inform the two divisions of the headquarters to set off immediately to reinforce Liaoyang. ”
Every move of the Japanese army did not evade the increasingly large intelligence network of the Liaodong Army.
When all kinds of news were slowly gathered into Yang Xingguo's hands through the intelligence network, in order to avoid the suspicion of the Japanese army, the Liaodong Army's attack on the remnants of the Japanese army also began.
As soon as a regiment of the Liaodong Army advanced to one of the hills where the Japanese were trapped, the Japanese troops who were building fortifications on the hill became nervous.
Quickly drop the sapper shovel, pick up the rifle, and jump into the unfinished fortifications, ready for battle!
When all the Japanese troops were staring at the Liaodong Army at the bottom of the mountain that was getting closer and closer to them through the crosshairs of their rifles, a series of shell screams that they were most unwilling to hear suddenly reached their ears.
As the screams got closer and closer to them, the faces of some Japanese soldiers on the hill who were familiar with artillery had turned pale.
Quickly squatted in the fortifications with his head in his hands, and exclaimed loudly: "Baga, it's artillery bombardment, the Liaodong Army is shooting at us, hide quickly!" ”
"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom! The screams grew louder and louder, as if a violent explosion reached their ears as they heard it, deafening.
In order to put some pressure on the Japanese army and reduce the casualties of the attacking troops. Even though the limited number of heavy artillery shells was missing one shot, Zhong Hu still transferred a heavy artillery battalion to cover the small hill with artillery fire.
In addition to the heavy artillery, Zhao Zhigang, the 3rd Division in charge of the attack, also ordered a field artillery battalion to participate in the battle.
While heavy artillery shells destroyed the Japanese fortifications that the Japanese had worked so hard to dig, a larger number of field artillery shells were responsible for destroying the Japanese troops who had been blown out of the hills.
The field artillery and heavy artillery coordinated with each other, and soon the hill was covered with a thick layer of gunsmoke.
On a hill not far from the battlefield, the chief of staff of the Japanese army placed his headquarters here.
As soon as the roaring shelling began, the chief of staff and a group of officers stared at the battlefield with binoculars.
They also couldn't see the battlefield covered in the smoke of gunfire, but they were all soldiers and knew the power of such a heavy artillery bombardment.
Just as they prayed with gloomy faces that the shelling would end soon, the Liaodong Army did not wait for the shelling to end.
"Baga, if you launch an attack now, won't the Liaodong Army be afraid that your own people will be injured by mistake?" The commander of a Japanese brigade next to him said in shock.
No one answered him this question at this time.
But it didn't take long for the changes in the battlefield to give him the best explanation.
When a regiment of Liaodong Army was still two hundred meters away from the mountain, the shelling finally stopped.
Just when everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, staring at the battlefield, expecting the defenders on the hill to shoot back immediately and defeat the Liaodong Army that had rushed to the mountainside.
The screech of another string of shells streaked across the sky over the battlefield.
On the hill that had just calmed down, before a single bullet was fired, more than a dozen shells were smashed and exploded.
"It's a mountain artillery, and the mountain artillery position is at the foot of the mountain, which can carry out precision strikes with an error of less than thirty meters!" Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, an artillery staff officer hurriedly reported.
Another senior staff officer who had gone to Germany to study exclaimed: "It's infantry and artillery coordination, how can the Liaodong Army know such a clever tactic of infantry and artillery coordination, how is it possible!" ”
No one here is unfamiliar with the words "infantry artillery coordination", because after the Japanese army completes basic training, it will also conduct infantry and artillery coordination training.
However, the requirements for infantry and artillery coordination in all aspects are too high, and a bad one may cause accidental injury, so there are not many units in the Japanese army that can skillfully use the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination.
The fact that the tactics and tactics that even many Japanese troops could not train were actually seen in the backward Liaodong Army, and this could not but make this senior staff officer feel shocked and incredible.
Looking at the hill where the artillery was still rumbling a few miles away, and then seeing the Liaodong Army constantly advancing towards the hill, the chief of staff frowned and said: "I understand, our training infantry artillery is coordinated with heavy artillery, and it is shelled several kilometers away, and the error of the shelling is very large. The infantry artillery of the Liaodong Army is coordinated with mountain artillery, the shooting distance is close, there is almost no error, whether it is training or attacking, there is basically no need to consider the accidental damage of artillery shelling! ”
"The Liaodong Army is too cunning, under the close cover of mountain artillery, they can at least rush to the front of the formation thirty meters!"
"After the shelling is over, the defenders who are still alive on the hill have no time to make any preparations, and the Liaodong army that has already rushed up the hill can greet them with grenades, and there is basically no room to fight back."
As soon as the chief of staff made a thorough analysis, the officer standing next to him knew that a brigade defending the hill was finished. “
Although it is not known when the battle will end, however, in the absence of reinforcements, their end is already doomed.
Of course, in the case of the Liaodong Army's infantry and artillery coordination, the chief of staff will not send reinforcements to send them to death.
Infantry and artillery coordination, a very common tactical method of warfare in World War I and World War II, Yang Xingguo is very familiar with it.
From the beginning of Cong's formation of the Liaodong Army and the formation of an artillery unit, Yang Xingguo wanted to train the infantry and artillery coordination of the troops.
This is because, once the troops master this tactical method of warfare, they will be able to defeat the enemy at a very small cost in future offensive battles. (To be continued.) )
