Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Cold Front Controversy (Collect!) )
PS: This chapter is very hard to write, and it has been revised many times before and after, and it is not satisfactory, so I will send it out to everyone to see, and everyone will give opinions, and by the way, ask for a recommendation vote.
"I want to ask you a question?" Leng Feng knew very well that if he didn't fire this cannon, his position in the first battalion would be marginalized in the future.
There must be actual and objective reasons why artillery cannot be used in a centralized manner, and everyone is worried that if you use it intensively, it will be easy to be wiped out by the enemy, and it is understandable, and the Japanese army can continuously replenish equipment, while we will fight one and one less.
This logistical support cannot be compared.
In fact, it is a proposition of using limited power to win the greatest victory.
The key issue lies in the direction and judgment of the war situation and the understanding of the future situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
If we don't change our understanding, we won't be able to change our thinking.
"Is Nanjing City guarded or not?"
The problem is acute and unavoidable......
The atmosphere was suppressed all of a sudden, do you still have to ask this, the backwater of Nanjing City, the Jedi of soldiers, not to mention that now there is a disparity in strength, the Japanese army is like a rainbow, and it is a matter of time before Nanjing City falls.
If it is certain to hold Nanjing, how can the national government move the capital to Wuhan?
"From everyone's expressions, I already have the answer, I can't keep it, since we can't keep it, what is the meaning of us sticking here?" Leng Feng said.
"Politics and international influence aside, I think there are two points, one is to create time for the national government, so that our enterprises from Shanghai, Suzhou and other places can settle down in the rear, continue to produce, support the war of resistance, and achieve the purpose of exchanging space for time, and second, it is to consume the living force of the Japanese army, consume its war potential, we kill one more Japanese army now, and when we fight a decisive battle in the future, there will be one less Japanese army, and we will have more hope of victory."
"Leng Deputy Battalion is right, in the eyes of others, it is very stupid to defend it even if we know that we can't hold it, but we have to look at the long run, it doesn't matter if we can't hold it, as long as we can hold back the Japanese army and consume its vital strength, we lose in Nanjing, and China may not lose!" Luo Yufeng was a little excited, and Leng Feng said that his heart was on the road, and the haze in his heart was dispelled at once.
Originally, he was a little upset about Leng Feng as soon as he came, but now he doesn't have it at all.
"Luo Yingzuo is right, I know that it is not easy for us to accumulate these family funds, but we can't forget what we are here for because we feel sorry for this little thing in our bowl." Leng Feng's voice became sharper.
Use a hammer to beat the drum.
"The enemy is coming to the door, we are still at home to calculate this loss, the country is gone, what is the use of these altars and jars?"
"War is fought with money and food, population, and resources, and China has a vast land and resources, a large population, and an inexhaustible supply of soldiers, can these be compared with Japan's small and barren country?"
Leng Feng's voice was deafening, and the eardrums of the officers of the first battalion who were present rang one by one.
Some people feel a fever in their cheeks, and some people feel ashamed, their faces turn pawed, and they can't help but lower their heads.
"If you use these jars to win a victory and exchange for heavy casualties of the Japanese army, are you willing?"
The key is still a matter of thinking, because in addition to the direct influence of military commanders, the thinking of an army also has the deep-rooted cultural genes of the composition of soldiers.
"Leng Deputy Camp ......" Luo Yufeng was a little stunned.
"Why, don't you want to, or you don't have two eggs in your crotch, and you don't even have the courage to answer me?"
"I'm willing, Deputy Camp Leng, if we can inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army, what if these altars and jars in our battalion are smashed?" Qin Huaiyi, the commander of the artillery company, stood up suddenly, waved his fist and said loudly.
"I do, too!"
"Yes!"
……
"What are you ......" Luo Yufeng was stunned, what happened to these people, they were stimulated by Leng Feng's words, this is all chicken blood?
After the meeting.
"Leng Feng, what you just said at the meeting, you won't take it seriously, right?" Luo Yufeng personally pulled Leng Feng aside and asked.
"I'm serious." Leng Feng affirmed.
"What do you have in mind?" Luo Yufeng was infected by Leng Feng's self-confidence, he was bold himself, and if he changed someone, he would have thought that Leng Feng was a madman a long time ago.
"The Japanese army is menacing, although occasionally suffered some small losses, but the overall advance is very fast, almost no decent resistance, such an army, will inevitably produce arrogance and underestimate the enemy's mentality, in fact, the Japanese army looks down on us, and the generals are eager to compete for merit, everyone wants to be the first to break into the city of Nanjing, if, I mean if, our commander-in-chief Tang has the guts, in the peripheral war, let go of an opening, induce a Japanese army to come in, concentrate all our heavy firepower, come to a quick battle, Destroy a part of the Japanese army, and the battle will be easy to fight! ”
Luo Yufeng secretly smacked his tongue, and said in his heart, you really dare to think that just in order to transfer troops and send generals, Commander-in-Chief Tang was already anxious, and he lured the enemy to go deeper, gather and annihilate him.
Save it.
But when you think about it, this plan is quite tempting, but if it succeeds, it will be a sensation.
Leng Feng also knew that his idea was not realistic, there were too many uncertain factors, and it had high requirements for the commander and the troops participating in the battle.
If the troops participating in the battle are all troops of such quality as the teaching corps, they can give it a go.
And with the current ragtag army, Tang Mengxiao can only be a pastemaker.
After demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, dismantling and demolishing, when there is no wall to tear down, the oath of "vowing to live and die with Nanjing" has become an empty word.
From the campaign level, such a plan requires great wisdom and courage on the part of commanders, and objective conditions must be ripe to carry it out.
In fact, such tactics can be used flexibly, as big as a battle, as small as a battle, that is also possible.
"Luo Yingzuo, how many blocking positions are there in the Tiger Cave?"
"We have three positions on the left and right flanks, the first position is in the southwest of the main position, the 151 high ground, your first company is the sharp knife company of our battalion, this 151 high ground is your main position, the second blocking position is 400 meters behind you, and the main second company is responsible for it...... Our battalion is responsible for the 230 heights on the right flank, and the 211 heights on the left flank are a battalion of the three brigades and five regiments, and the middle junction is garrisoned by two battalions and one platoon each. ”
This is a defensive tactic of blocking in batches and level by step.
Too conservative.
It seems that the strategy of the commander's department is to delay and delay the Japanese attack, and there is no intention of taking the initiative to annihilate the enemy.
If it is two teams of equal strength, such a blockade, the effect may not be bad, but with such a disparity in strength, such an arrangement, it will be easier for the Japanese army to attack.
"Luo Yingzuo, I'm simple, let's concentrate the forces and use them, leaving only a small number of troops to block the first and second line of positions, and my colleagues will lay mines and a large number of explosives under the position fortifications, and when the Japanese army rushes up, we will detonate them directly, what do you think?"
"The first and second lines of the position are not defended?"
"As long as the main position of the Tiger Cave is there, it is impossible for the Japanese army to pass through here!" Leng Feng said.
"Leng Deputy Battalion, your idea is very bold, let me think about it."
"Luo Yingzuo, there is not much time left for us, we should distinguish between priorities and priorities, I think, we should destroy the living forces of the Japanese army on the premise of preserving ourselves, and achieve the strategic goal of delaying the Japanese army." Leng Feng summed it up.
"Well, it makes sense, I'll call Tuanzuo......" Luo Yufeng said excitedly.
Leng Feng shook his head.
Luo Yufeng immediately understood that this idea might not be supported by the above, so it was better to finish it himself.
This is very bold, but fortunately, Luo Yufeng is not the kind of mediocre commander.
He decided, take a bold risk, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent, anyway, he already has the belief that he will die.
At noon, a simple welcome lunch was had at the battalion headquarters, and then Leng Feng took Cong Hu and the four of them directly to the first company.
The position of the first company was on a hill in the southwest of the Tiger Cave, a downward slope of about 1780 meters, with a slope of about 35 meters, and it was the outpost position of the 1st battalion. A number of strong fortifications were built, and the trenches and tunnels were connected, and the facilities were complete, including command posts, anti-artillery holes, toilets, kitchens, and ......
In addition to these permanent fortifications, many foxholes, improvised communication trenches, etc., were dug and criss-crossed, with blind spots with little firepower.
"Deputy camp, you just came, do you want to rest first?"
"No need, I want to meet with the platoon commander of the whole company first, everyone gets to know each other, and you are responsible for helping me summon it." Leng Feng ordered.
"Okay, I'll go tell them to come over."
The first to arrive at the company headquarters was Liu Dayou, the platoon leader, whose loud voice was a major feature of the company.
Before he could enter the door, the thunderous "report" sound pierced through the wooden door from afar.
"Deputy Cheng Lian, what's the matter, what's the matter with calling us over at this time?" Liu Dayou, the leader of the loud platoon, opened his mouth as soon as he entered the company.
"Come in."
"Report to Deputy Cheng Lian, the platoon leader Liu Dayou is ordered to come!"
"Be quiet, I'm almost deafened by you." Cheng Gang scolded, pointed at Leng Feng and introduced, "Come here, I've seen our Leng Feng Leng Lian!" ”
"Leng Lianza, isn't our Lianza part-time Luo Yingza, how can we ......?"
"What are you shouting, this is appointed by the top, Leng Lianza is still the deputy battalion seat of my second regiment and first battalion."
Liu Dayou was excited, and he snapped upright: "Teach Liu Dayou, the commander of the first brigade, the second regiment, the first battalion, the first company, and the first platoon, to salute Leng Lianzao." ”
"Leng Feng, it's your new company commander." Leng Feng replied.
The squad and platoon commanders of the first company entered the company headquarters one after another, and under the introduction of Cheng Gang, they first met Leng Feng and got to know each other.
There were a total of 175 people in the company.
There are a total of seven people in the company, deputy company commander Cheng Gang, guard Xiao Xia, clerk and confidential officer Xiao Song, plus two health guards.
There is one communication class with eight people.
The guard squad is one, seven people.
There are thirty-one people in a platoon, platoon leader: Liu Dayou.
Twenty-nine people in the second platoon, platoon commander: Shi Jin.
Three rows of thirty people, platoon leader: Wang Hui.
Seventeen people in the artillery platoon, platoon deputy: Tian Xiaopeng (nickname, Xiaotian Luo).
Seventeen people in the heavy machine gun platoon, platoon leader: Jiang Yi.
There are nine people in the ammunition squad, squad leader: Huang Yong.
There are seven people in the cooking class, and the squad leader: Shi Changgui. Twenty-three engineer platoons, platoon commander: Yang Dezhi.
I looked at the family background, it's not bad, there is one light machine gun in each squad, and there is also a machine gun squad, adding up, there are twelve light machine guns in the whole company, Czech ZB26 imitation.
Four heavy machine guns, Makqin water cooled.
There were also six mortars, four 60 mm and two 81 mm, still French.
Each class is also equipped with an MP18, commonly known as the Flower Machine.
The guard squad and officers are each equipped with a fast and slow machine, that is, twenty rings, which is imitated by the Jinling Arsenal, and the quality is not bad.
The quality of the rifle is better than that of the Guangdong army, most of them are imitation Mauser 98 rifles, a small number of medium formal rifles, and the guard squad is a medium formal rifle of the same color.
The bullets are universal, and it is not too troublesome to replenish.
