Chapter 105: It's the elite who fights
After leaving the regiment headquarters, Qiao Anbang and others got into a few trucks and armored vehicles and galloped towards the south gate.
Responsible for guarding the south of the city is the first battalion of the Tiger Regiment, after all, the first battalion was withdrawn from the southwest, and the field fortifications were built just outside the south gate.
In fact, as a traverser, Qiao Anbang knows the tactics of devils very well, which is nothing more than artillery bombardment, infantry rushing, infantry can't rush up, artillery or aircraft bombardment again, and if they can't rush up, they will send a small group of roundabout troops to carry out a roundabout flank attack.
Because the tactical thinking of the majority of generals at that time was backward, when deploying troops, they often put their troops along the front line, and did not understand that the gods and horses were called in-depth defense, echelon allocation, and the long snake formation was even more rigid than the tactics of the army, once it was broken through by the army, the whole line collapsed.
And they don't pay enough attention to the flanks, often in the front of the heroic ** soldiers with their lives and blood to consolidate the position, because the flanks were attacked by the roundabout troops of the army, in order to avoid being completely annihilated by the enemy, the ** commander can only order a retreat, the devil's frontal troops are taking advantage of the situation to follow and cover up, ** often will collapse and defeat.
Not long ago, on the battlefield in Shanxi, in the Battle of Xinkou, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Yue Army, Ban Hengzheng Shilang, with only half a division, swept away hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jin Sui Army of the Central Army of Wei Lihuang and Yan Xishan.
Half of the devil's division and regiment killed about 15,000 people and 20,000 people, but the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army have more than 300,000 troops, and they occupy an absolute advantage in terms of strength, and the weapons and equipment of the Jin Sui Army are not bad, and the Central Army led by Wei Lihuang is the elite of the national political axe, and the logistics supply ** fights in Shanxi, backed by Taiyuan, with the full support of the Taiyuan Arsenal, and there is no logistics worry.
Moreover, at that time, there were more than 30,000 elite Red Army troops who had experienced a hundred battles to cooperate in the operation behind enemy lines, but Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang had a little strategic and tactical command ability, not to mention luring the enemy to gather deep and annihilate him, as far as pure defense is concerned, if hundreds of thousands of troops are equipped in echelons, they will be fortified layer by layer.
The more than 10,000 people in Shiro's hands want to capture Taiyuan, which is simply a dream, and they can exhaust the more than 10,000 little devils to death when they are tired.
Therefore, the commander of a unit determines the combat effectiveness and quality of the unit, and there is an old saying that one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies.
However, for the Tiger Regiment, there is no need to be afraid of the devil's 10,000-year-old unchanged tactics, round artillery fire, unless the devil transfers the only few heavy artillery brigades and regiments in the whole country at that time, otherwise even the artillery wing of a division of the army is not the opponent of the Tiger Regiment.
In terms of individual light weapons, the devil's Type 38 bolt rifle and Garand semi-automatic rifle are not at the same level at all, and the Thomson submachine gun and Browning light machine gun are enough to make the little devil wail and scream in the rain of bullets.
Equipped with a ** squad of Garland and Thomson, it is enough to deal with a squad of devils in defensive battles, and even more.
The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the devil's plane, two days ago when the third battalion stormed Suzhou City, it suffered a big loss from the devil's plane, fortunately the armored commando team and reconnaissance company arrived in time, otherwise the third battalion may be defeated.
Therefore, in order to strengthen the air defense capability of the troops, in the past two days, Qiao Anbang secretly asked Yali to get eight more German-style 88mm anti-aircraft guns from the aircraft.
This 88mm anti-aircraft gun not only has strong anti-aircraft firepower, but also can be flattened as an anti-tank gun to use, in the original World War II, the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun made the British and American allies suffer enough, whether it is a British heavy tank or the Soviet T34 in front of the 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun has only one end, that is, it is destroyed!
Moreover, the rate of fire of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun is extremely amazing, and it is quite powerful to deal with dense charging enemy infantry crowds or tank armor clusters.
In order to improve the mobility of the anti-aircraft guns, Qiao Anbang transferred a batch of tractors from the artillery battalion to tow the eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns.
Moreover, in order to facilitate unified command, Qiao Anbang combined the armored commando team and reconnaissance company originally under the artillery battalion into an armored company, and the eight 88mm anti-aircraft guns were also equipped with the armored company, so that the armored company became a rapid mobile unit with both assault and air defense.
Qiao Anbang was inspecting the forward position of the first battalion accompanied by Kong Xiangjie, commander of the first battalion, Zhao Gengyuan, deputy battalion commander, and others, when suddenly, an armored vehicle came galloping in the distance.
The armored car drove to a halt not far from Qiao Anbang, and a scout jumped down from the armored car quickly, trotted all the way to Qiao Anbang and stood up and hurriedly reported: "Tuanza, five kilometers away from the southwest, a large force of the Chinese army was found, with a strength of about 4,000 people, some tanks, combat vehicles and artillery, but the specific number is unknown. ”
"Oh? Have you figured out the specific number of this devil? Joan Bang asked.
"Nope." The scout shook his head, and then said, "But this devil is different from the others, their military uniforms are blue, while the military uniforms of the other devils are earthy yellow. ”
"Blue?" Qiao Anbang was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately turned his head and looked at Kong Xiangjie and the others.
"Tuanza, it shouldn't be the devil's marines coming, right?" Kong Xiangjie suddenly realized: "During the Battle of Songhu, it was the devil's marines who stopped our army for nearly half a month, and their military uniforms were sea blue. ”
"Marines?" Qiao Anbang suddenly fell into contemplation when he heard this, it seems that this Marine Corps should be a reinforcement from Shanghai by the devil, and after learning that Suzhou has been lost, he will march to Suzhou, and the purpose is self-evident.
After pondering for a long time, Qiao Anbang Huo Ran raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Commander of the first battalion, pass on my order, and the first battalion will quickly assemble and prepare to attack!" ”
"Sortie?" Kong Xiangjie said puzzledly: "Tuanzuo, I heard it right, this time it is the elite marines of the devils, the battle of Songhu, it is these four or five thousand marines who have blocked the onslaught of tens of thousands of troops of our army's five German armor divisions, and its combat effectiveness can be seen, and this may be just the forward of the devils, there may be more devils behind, we should rely on the existing fortifications, the battle situation defense is right." ”
"Elite?" Qiao Anbang snorted coldly: "Lao Tzu is fighting the elite, a battalion commander, you don't know, now the devil is mobilizing heavy troops to prepare to besiege Suzhou, we want to defend Suzhou, but we can't really defend it, we should attack or have to attack, while the main force of the army has not yet arrived, we can kill one more, and the pressure we will face will be a little less!" ”
After saying this, Qiao Anbang said confidently: "Okay, hurry up and execute the order, the devil is almost here." ”
"Yes!" Kong Xiangjie, Zhao Gengyuan and others hurriedly stepped forward to respond, and immediately took the order and left.
Seeing the two leave, Qiao Anbang turned his head and instructed Wang Gensheng: "Gensheng, you immediately go and inform the armored company and the second battalion to come to the south gate to assemble, and the defense in the city will be handed over to the third battalion and the guard company for the time being." ”
"Yes!" Wang Gensheng also agreed with a bang, and then quickly took the order and left.
