Chapter 1: Rebuilding Mountains and Rivers (10)
It's really not good for Sanlian. The two mountain guns stayed in the same place for too long, as long as one of the people in the road and bridge group was an artilleryman, he must have calculated the shooting yuan at this time. And the two mountain guns of the road and bridge group, the hidden position is really ingenious, that stone, not to mention that the three consecutive shots are all "drop shells" (they are filled with that kind of special projectile), even if they are real bombs, it is impossible to cause any damage to them.
The two mountain guns of the Luqiao Group rang out one after the other, and the first shell was a little farther away from the artillery position of the third company, but the next shot was ready to hit.
Two cannon shots opened the prelude to the counterattack of the road and bridge group. After blasting the two mountain guns (meaning the account, just pull two special grenades for the exercise), 97 people all opened the trenches without pulling them, and killed them in the face of the feint attack platoon of the third company. At the front was a strong assault group composed of all-color Weiqing-style assault infantry and submachine guns, while the people in the back were all armed with medium and formal weapons.
Seeing all this, Ouyang Yun put down the binoculars, found a chair to sit down, and began to smoke leisurely, as if the overall situation had been decided. Zhang Da and the others are all veterans, so they naturally know the power of this move. When the strength of the two sides is equal, the most taboo is to disperse the troops. Originally, if the road and bridge group did not move, Guo Taiping's surprise attack team might be able to make a surprise attack under the cover of the other two departments and decide the situation in one fell swoop. However, once the road and bridge group chose to dispatch as a whole, no matter which part he was targeting, the third company was at a local disadvantage. Now, if the Third Company still wants to win, it depends on whether the soldiers in charge of the feint attack can take one as ten, and cause more casualties to the road and bridge group or delay it long enough.
Both Zhang Da and Guo Taiping underestimated the strength of the road and bridge group. This is related to the daily training methods of the cadet army. Compared with other troops, the biggest feature of the training of the cadet army is that it never skimps on the consumption of bullets, which makes the shooting level of the cadet soldiers much higher than that of other troops.
There is another decisive factor that Zhang Da and others also ignore. On the surface, the firearms used by the two sides on a daily basis are divided into half, and it seems that the two sides are on the same running line. In fact, this is not the case - based on the performance of Weiqing firearms that are much higher than those of Zhongzheng, the road and bridge group's familiarity with Weiqing firearms shows its advantages.
Most of the platoons in charge of the feint attack of the third company were armed with Weiqing firearms, and they were not familiar with the use of such firearms, and as a result, at least nine out of ten people ran out of bullets as soon as the trigger was pulled. The strong attack team of the Luqiao Group was proficient in using short point fire, giving the soldiers of the Third Company the feeling as if the bullets in their guns were endless, as if they were endless.
The first round of encounters between the two sides ended with the withdrawal of five people from the road and bridge group and the withdrawal of all three feints and platoons. Moreover, the time limit is only 10 minutes.
After the victory of the first wave of contact battles, the Luqiao Group did not stop and continued to fight towards the main position of the third company, as if they did not notice the whereabouts of the group of men and horses led by Guo Taiping.
Are they really unaware? It seems that Guo Taiping and his subordinates have done a good job of concealment, but after the set goal is gone, won't everything they have done become useless?
By this time the exercise had been carried out, there was no longer any suspense. The strange tactics shown by the road and bridge group left a deep impression on the bigwigs of the Guangdong army. Although this made Zhang Da and Guo Taiping very embarrassed, they had to admit afterwards that they had lost completely.
After that, there were two battles. One is the main position of the whole army of the Luqiao Group to attack the third company, because of the difference in numbers, although the remaining personnel of the third company performed extremely bravely, they still could not escape the fate of being completely annihilated. As for the other one, it belongs to the war of the three companies themselves. Zhang Da realized at this time that the previous civil engineering operations of the Road and Bridge Group were not to consolidate the position, but to bury the mines. After the main position of the party was captured, Guo Taiping, who was already at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, had to try to hold on to the position of the Luqiao Group, but the result was good, as someone stepped on a detonating mine, as a result, the other personnel of the three companies, including Guo Taiping, were "martyred" in a group, and there was no chance to escape.
"In a war between two people, personal qualities may play a decisive role. However, in the war between the two groups, the role of the chief will be paramount. That's why a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a herd of lions led by a sheep - one soldier will be a nest of bears. Don't stare at me, I know that you are very brave and very good at using soldiers, but do you know that you have lost for Lu? First of all, you didn't try to get to know the details of your opponent, which made you look down on your enemy at the beginning of the war. Secondly, you didn't take the time to get to know the terrain eitherβ"
These words were Ouyang Yun's comments after the exercise. He only said half of this, and Guo Taiping, the general of the defeated army, who was covered in oil paint, glared at him, and he said the latter sentence by staring at Guo Taiping's eyes.
Guo Taiping had already admitted defeat in his heart, but he refused to give in, he glanced at Wang Qiangbao and said, "Does he have a detailed understanding of the terrain?" β
Ouyang Yun smiled and said to Wang Qiangbao, "You show it to him." β
Wang Qiangbao nodded, took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Guo Taiping. On that note was a sketch map of the central area of the exercise.
Guo Taiping didn't know that this was painted by Wang Qiangbao himself after the war, and immediately shouted: "So you cheat?!" β
Ouyang Yun and Wang Qiangbao didn't understand it for a while. Because map drawing seems to be compulsory in the training course of the Cadet Army, as long as it is a qualified Cadet Corps soldier, even if he does not know a single big character, he can draw a simple topographic map. Ouyang Yun: "How can I say this!" β
Guo Taiping shook the note and said, "Didn't you give him this map?" β
"Ha Lu Ha!" Ouyang Yun smiled angrily.
Seeing this, Xiang Hanping hurriedly scolded: "Guo Taiping, don't go too far." Mapping is a compulsory subject for the military students, not to mention Wang Qiangbao and other officers, even ordinary soldiers can draw this kind of simple topographic map! Don't be unconvinced! β
"Every soldier can draw a map?" Zhang Da and the others all had expressions of disbelief.
Ouyang Yun said: "Not every one, more than eighty percent." In the Second Great Wall War of Resistance, our army suffered heavy losses, and in order to replenish the front-line troops as soon as possible, some soldiers did not undergo systematic training. β
Ouyang Yun's statement is already very modest. Ever since Renqiu settled down, the Cadet Corps has always attached importance to the building of reserve troops, and has maintained at least two regiment-sized officers and men in training for a long time. The reserve officers and men who were recruited into the front-line troops in the later stage of the Second Great Wall War of Resistance have basically completed the prescribed training subjects, but they have not yet participated in the unified assessment. In terms of military qualities, they may still have some shortcomings of one kind or another, but basically everyone can draw maps.
"Soldier, do you know how to draw a map?" Li Hansoul walked up to a soldier of the Luqiao Group who had only one left arm and asked.
"Report to the sir, yes!" The soldier replied proudly: "When I was assessed for professional subjects, my drawing was 100 points!" β
The soldier's confident expression made Li Hansoul already believe Ouyang Yun's words, but after he looked at his former colleagues, his eyes rolled and said, "Then can you draw the terrain here now?" β
The warrior replied professionally: "I don't have professional tools, so I can only draw a rough one." Errors in proportions are inevitable. β
Li Hansoul smiled: "It's okay to have poor accuracy, the key is not to mislead others." β
"I can guarantee that!" After the soldier finished speaking, he took out a pen and paper from his body with one hand and began to work on the spot.
Li Hansoul took the initiative to find trouble with the one-armed warrior, and it seemed that he wanted to get along with Ouyang Yun, but in fact, he wanted to help him secretly. He wanted to take this opportunity to show the bigwigs of the Guangdong army the strength of the student army, so that they could have a sober understanding of the current situation in Guangdong.
The Guangdong army was a strong force among the local separatist warlords during the Republic of China, and many bigwigs had deep-rooted relationships in the local area. Although, people who were pro-Nanjing government such as Huang Guangrui and Yu Hanmou had been cleared out of the ranks of the Cantonese army by Chen Jitang before the last attempt. But the rest of these people, although most of them did not deal with Lao Jiang, did not have a good impression of Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun. If these people are determined to get along with Ouyang Yun, it will really be a very troublesome thing.
Among the Cantonese generals, Li Hansoul belongs to a relatively special type of people. Historically, there was no obvious factional tendency, not to mention, and he was quite active in the anti-Japanese cause, and was listed as an object to be fought for by Ouyang Yun from the very beginning.
Before this exercise, Ouyang Yun had already had a personal contact with him, and wanted to ask him to help integrate the team as soon as possible. Li Hansoul did not give a clear answer at that time, and after the end of this exercise, Xu saw the strong combat power of the Cadet Army, and his position changed.
Regardless of whether Ouyang Yun felt it or not, Li Hansoul was already contributing to the integration of the Xuebing Army and the Guangdong Army. As he expected, when the one-armed warrior of the Luqiao Group put a rather detailed map in front of everyone, except for Zhang Da, the eyes of the other people looking at the Luqiao Group warrior and Ouyang Yun couldn't help but change.
In dialogue between military personnel, strength is the most important thing. Let's not talk about the extra points brought by the firearms of the Wei Qing Department and the Sick Department, just the performance of the Road and Bridge Group today has already made the bigwigs of the Guangdong Army look at the Xuebing Army with admiration. Now, an ordinary soldier who can only be regarded as a logistics unit has shown such a high level of military quality, and what does this mean, they have to rethink their position.
There were only two roads in front of the bigwigs of the Cantonese army, and Ouyang Yun outlined the general direction. Whether to make a fortune together or erect a powerful enemy, or even bring about their own destruction, those who know the times have their own sober choice.
