After withdrawing from the first company and one platoon, Xiao Zhenlei rested for an hour and then continued to attack with the first company and two platoons, according to the plan, the offensive tasks for the two days were all feints, so in the case of trying to avoid huge casualties, Xiao Zhenlei tried his best to let all officers and soldiers feel and experience the atmosphere of the battlefield, let the officers command the battle, let the soldiers adapt to the sound of guns, and hone their courage. ●⌒Top Novel,www.

In the next two days, Xiao Zhenlei attacked with a platoon of troops at an interval of an hour each time, and the time of each attack was almost a message, if the defending bandits began to release rolling stones and rolling logs, he ordered the troops to withdraw from the mountain, the casualties caused by these two things were too great, and the soldiers were not necessarily able to dodge if they were too well trained, mainly because the speed of gravity would become faster and faster when the rolling logs and rolling stones rolled down the mountain, and the impact force was great, and the offensive team led by Xiao Zhenlei was very long, There is also a high chance of being attacked.

During the day, at night, each platoon must be divided into shifts under the organization of the platoon commander to discuss the details of the day's battle, how to move, cover, and dodge in offensive battles to reduce the danger of being hit by bullets fired by the enemy, and how to cooperate with each other to reduce casualties and at the same time strike at the enemy.

At the same time, the platoon commanders, company commanders, and battalion commanders also had to study and discuss Xiao Zhenlei's command in battle; in every battle, a battalion commander, a company commander, and a platoon commander followed them, and the platoon commander was responsible for recording every order he gave under the circumstances.

On the evening of 11 October, Xiao Zhenlei held a meeting with officers at and above the platoon commander level to sum up experience. The battle had been fought for two days, and the two battalions had a total of eighteen infantry platoons. Basically, every platoon has fought more than two mountain battles, and all have some combat experience. Most of the people have adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield, and there is no such thing as a slump of blood and flesh when they see their comrades being killed.

In these two days, a total of 21 people were killed, 33 people were slightly and seriously wounded, and almost two platoons of troops were lost, but this was worth it for Xiao Zhenlei, an army that had never had any combat experience and no one had ever been on the battlefield. In just two days, only 21 people were sacrificed and 33 people were wounded, which turned the rookie army into a real elite division, and if this army is more equipped with weapons and equipment, this army will be the top combat force in the country.

At a meeting summing up the experience of combat command, Xiao Zhenlei said: "In the past two days, almost every one of you has participated in more than two battles with me. But if you only have blood and courage and no brains, you are at most a reckless man, so this is not advisable, and officers who can really fight wars often use their brains. You must not only digest and absorb the military knowledge and principles that you have heard from your instructors during your training and study, but also ponder some tactics yourself, such as during these two days. Is this the only tactic I taught you to work in groups of three to cover the attack? Definitely not. In each battle, different tactics can be used depending on the situation and the environment of the battlefield. As long as it is conducive to our victory, what tactics we will use on the premise of minimizing casualties.

You are still novices, although you have studied with me in the past two days, but after all, you have not personally commanded, so from tomorrow, I don't care, you yourself will go into battle to command, each platoon commander personally leads the team, and the platoon commander under his command goes to lead the team to command the war, your company commander is not nothing to do, you have to coordinate and command in the center, when the offensive platoon encounters strong firepower, you must be responsible for contacting the machine gun platoon and the artillery platoon to provide them with fire support, you must arrange the troops to be responsible for responding, and you must organize doctors to treat the wounded, If the casualties of the attacking troops are too large, and the morale of the offensive has begun to decline, it is necessary to order a retreat at this time, and when the platoon commander leads the command, after all, he has a small field of vision at the scene and cannot see the overall situation, at this time, you need your company commander to command, whether to continue to attack or retreat, how to break the deadlock if you continue to attack? What kind of tactics are employed? Those combat units need to be assisted, etc., these are all things that your company commander needs to consider.

Ditto, when the subordinate company commander is directing the battle, the battalion commander is not without things to do, you have to have a broader view of the overall situation, you have to see farther, and you have to think about more things, after all, a company commander can only take care of the affairs of his company, what about other companies? Are you going to care? I won't say much here, you go down and think about it carefully, you will start to command yourself tomorrow, and now I will assign tasks, the first battalion will continue to be responsible for the feint attack and attract Yang Fei's attention from the front, and the second battalion will be responsible for the real attack on the water village from the lake tomorrow, I will split the machine gun platoon, each of you battalion has two heavy machine guns, the artillery company will not be split, and any of you will call for artillery support if necessary. Let me remind you that the use of tactics is to be formulated according to the strategic purpose or task, for example, the first battalion responsible for feints, your task is to attract the enemy's attention from the front, contain the vast majority of their troops, instead of fighting with Yang Fei, we must take this into account when formulating tactics and attacking, we must pretend to be decent and not be discovered by Yang Fei Our true purpose, but also we must minimize our own casualties, as for the second battalion, your task, I have just said, Seize all the warships in Shuizhai to control zhì, if you really can't control them, you can consider burning them and cutting off the retreat of Yang Fei and the others to escape, it's as simple as that, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Everyone stood up and responded.

Xiao Zhenlei got up and waved his hand: "Dismiss!" ”

In fact, everyone knows very well that whether it is attacking from the front, or attacking the water village from the lake, the difficulty is not ordinary, these two offensive routes are very narrow, and the troops are difficult to deploy, each attack can only be stuffed with so many people, and no matter how many people can only watch the excitement from behind, it will not help the battle situation.

Xiao Zhenlei's purpose was not to catch Yang Fei in the shortest possible time, he was thinking about how to use this time to suppress bandits and hone this army, so that each of them could complete the transformation from rookie to old bird. This needs to be considered, and what Chen Jizu, Wu Shiyou and others need to consider is to do their best to complete the combat mission assigned by Xiao Zhenlei. The different positions of people determine that they need to consider different things. The responsibilities will also be different.

If Xiao Zhenlei withstood the casualties of the soldiers, he believed that he would personally command, and it would only take a morning to rush up the mountain from the front, after all, his soldiers were strictly trained, as long as they were adapted to the battlefield, as long as the tactical arrangement and execution were properly, their combat effectiveness was very large, and they must not be able to resist those bandits on the mountain. But this was not his original intention, he couldn't do what his battalion commanders and company commanders should do.

On Phoenix Mountain at this time. In the eyes of Yang Fei and others, the officers and soldiers really went crazy this time, the continuous high-intensity attacks in the past two days were completely different from the situation in the past when the officers and soldiers came to clean up, no officers and soldiers had never stopped attacking every day before, and it was really terrible to attack more than a dozen times a day, and every time he repelled an attack by an officer and soldier, he was like a serious illness, and every time an officer and soldier attacked would bring dozens of people to his subordinates at night. In addition to the accurate marksmanship of the attacking soldiers, the artillery of the officers and soldiers was too lethal, and by now, more than two hundred and twenty of his men had died. More than 130 people were wounded, wails were everywhere in the whole cottage, and the defensive positions halfway up the mountain had been seized by officers and soldiers. Now except for the men and horses in the water village and the defensive position by the lake, the rest of the men and horses are on the mountain. In just two days, more than one-third of the combat personnel were lost, and this casualty was unbearable for Yang Fei. He didn't know what the casualties were, but he could roughly estimate that they were certainly much smaller than on his side. The reason why he was able to hold on for two days was entirely because of the geographical advantage, if it were not for the fact that the mountain road was only a few meters wide and was slope-like, the attacking officers and soldiers would not be able to exert their strength, and if it was on flat ground, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold out even a round.

Generally speaking, the proportion of casualties on the attacking side is generally much larger than that of the defender, mainly because the defender has cover to hide, and the attacker basically does not, after all, the body is exposed to the defender's guns when attacking, but if there is a huge gap in the comprehensive combat effectiveness calculated by the combat quality, courage value, and firepower of the soldiers on both sides, then the casualties of the defender are several times greater than that of the attacker. This is the case with Yang Fei's gang of bandits and the nominal officers and soldiers brought by Xiao Zhenlei.

Up to now, in addition to the more than 300 people on the defensive positions of the water village and the lake, there are only more than 200 people left who can fight on the top of the phoenix, and if the next battle continues for two days, the top of the mountain will be lost, which is obvious.

The burning wood in the brazier in the middle of the hall crackled, and there was wine and meat on the table in front of each of the leaders, but the bandit leaders had no heart to eat and drink.

There was silence for a long time, and finally a leader spoke, "The big boss, please forgive the younger brother for saying a word of discouragement, all the brothers have seen the situation, it is not a way to keep it like this, the officers and soldiers have guns and guns, and the bullets and shells are enough, and they have no one to continue to catch strong men, and there are no bullets to buy from foreigners, but there is one less brother who dies on our side, and one less bullet is fired out, and thirty percent of the brothers have been lost in these two days, and in two days the officers and soldiers will attack the mountain, and at that time it will not be a question of whether to withdraw or not, It's a question of whether you can withdraw or not, according to the younger brother, let's still take preserving our strength as the best policy, as long as there are people and horses under our hands, everywhere is the master, no one has no guns in the hand, everywhere is a grandson, you can't pretend to be a grandson! Brother, that's the idea, if it's good or not, please don't be like me! ”

Yang Fei didn't get angry when he heard this, turned his head to look at the other leaders and asked calmly, "What do the others think?" Say it all, brothers and go through it together! ”

A thin middle-aged man in his forties and fifties wearing a long shirt and a goatee on his chin touched his beard and said: "The big boss, the three bosses are not rough in what they said, this group of officers and soldiers is obviously different from the previous officers and soldiers, this time it is obvious that they want to put us to death, and the defense has always suffered a loss in a war, because the initiative is in the hands of the attacking side, and the defender can only passively respond to the battle, and the attacker can fight if he wants to, and rest if he doesn't want to fight. If we continue to stay here, it is very likely that we will consume all the strength in our hands, and this is the capital we rely on to survive. ”

"Yes, big boss, withdraw!"

"I also agree to withdraw!"

For a while, the bandit leaders in the Gathering Hall all agreed to retreat, but in the past two days, Xiao Zhenlei and the others had attacked too violently, and the casualties caused to the bandits were too huge, and these people were obviously starting to be timid.

Yang Fei saw that everyone wanted to evacuate, his heart was also shaken, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Okay, since all the brothers want to evacuate, then let's evacuate, without further ado, let's retreat overnight tonight, let's move some things to be taken away on the ship in the first half of the night, and let's withdraw in the second half of the night!" ”

In fact, Yang Fei was reluctant to go to the village to have that little bit of family business, if it weren't for this, he would have withdrawn with everyone a long time ago, and he couldn't afford to fight with Xiao Zhenlei here.

After the bandits began to move, rows of fires faintly emitted from the woods on the mountain, so that Xiao Zhenlei, who was standing outside the tent and thinking about things, accidentally saw it, and saw that those rows of fires seemed to be heading in the direction of the water village, so he immediately asked the reconnaissance platoon to investigate.

An hour later, the reconnaissance platoon sent someone back the news that Xiao Zhenlei learned that the bandits were moving things to the warship in the water village by the lake, and he knew that Yang Fei might not be able to resist it and wanted to escape from the water.

He immediately convened the officers to meet again, and issued an order, while the bandits were moving and retreating, immediately launched the attack, let the offensive task changed, the second battalion still attacked from the lake and the water according to the original plan, transferred the artillery company and half a machine gun platoon to the second battalion, and made every effort to prevent the bandits from escaping by boat, the first battalion gave up the feint mission, and really started the attack from the front, now the bandits are busy moving, the frontal defense will definitely drop greatly, once the fight is up, the bandits have no heart to resist because their morale has fallen to the bottom.
