Cigarettes were lit, and the four of them sat down on a fallen cedar tree.

"I happened to be passing by, and you heard some of the chat." Xu Soul spat out a cigarette and picked up an unknown purple wildflower.

"Commander......" Fu Liang was a little uneasy.

Xu Soul twisted the flower branch, and the hand holding the cigarette was raised: "It's okay, I also want to thank you for letting me hear the true feelings of the grassroots." ”

"Yes...... We are shallow, and we ask the commander for advice......"

"I can't say anything about advice, but since we talked about the issue of changing clothes, let's discuss it, and let me know more about the ideas of the grassroots, how about it?"

"Yes, it's an honor for my subordinates." Fu Liang nodded excitedly.

"Just now I heard you mention the Heavy Chariot, and I think it's a pity to remove it."

"As the commander heard......"

"Where did all the power calls that Zhilu Dao had withdrawn go?"

Fu Liang blinked: "It should be, it's all given to Liu Dajun's 3, right?" ”

"That's right, when your 1st Army and 4th Army returned to China to change their clothes, they couldn't be used in their hands and threw them to 3, and now the 3rd Army is all old tanks, and the establishment is different from yours. One company is equipped with electricity, and four companies are equipped with Flying Thunder, do you know why you want to make it up like this? ”

Fu Liang just shook his head, but Zhong Yi slowly spoke: "Could it be ...... 3. The mission is different from ours? ”

Xu Soul flicked away the wildflowers, smiled and nodded: "Yes, only your 1st Army and 4th Army are fully equipped with new equipment, like the Flying Wolf Light Chariot, like the Camel Half-track Car, and the Fire Wolf Assault Cannon, there is no share, that is to say." Their mobility is far inferior to yours. ”

Zhong Yi suddenly said: "Indeed...... The maximum speed of the flying wolf and the Jie Hu land off-road is three times that of the electric power, twice that of the flying thunder, the camel can also keep up with the flying wolf when the road is cross-country, the fire wolf uses the flying wolf chassis, and the mobility is not much worse. Three times faster than 3! ”

Xu Soul nodded: "If the lightning is dead in the field, you can climb six or seven kilometers in one hour, and Feiting is a little faster, but it is only ten kilometers." Moreover, the failure rate is high, the stroke is short, and it is not suitable for high-speed and long-distance running. At the time of the major counteroffensive in the later stage of the Battle of Ulan-Ude, the two armored corps of our left assault group advanced 170 kilometers 5, and the average was only thirty~. In addition, the infantry, artillery, and engineer units under our armored brigades all rely on trucks for mobility, which greatly limits the range of our combat maneuvers, and many of the places where the main combat vehicles can pass, trucks cannot pass. Trucks can't pass, and infantry, artillery, and sappers can't keep up. Without infantry artillery sappers, combat vehicles alone could not accomplish most of the combat missions. ”

Zhong Yi nodded again and again: "The position must be cleared and occupied by the infantry, and large-caliber artillery is needed to attack strong fortifications and suppress the enemy's ground artillery fire, without sappers, we can't cross the big river or cross the broken bridge, and even the wider trenches can't be crossed, and the ...... of sappers are inseparable from blasting, minesweeping, and road repair."

"Now, your infantry, artillery, and sappers are equipped with tracked and half-track vehicles, and they can follow them wherever they can, and on average twenty kilometers in an hour on the field. Even if you only march for five hours a day, you can rush a hundred kilometers a day, while the main force of 3 can only move six or seven kilometers a day, and even if you march for ten hours a day, you can only climb sixty kilometers. You should get the idea, right? ”

Zhong Yi's eyes lit up: "So to speak." We 4 just rushed in front, our car was fast and the firepower was weak, so we would go around when we encountered a well-fortified stronghold. Let the 3, who has strong firepower but slow speed, clean up in the back? ”

"Well, what else?"

"Our baggage brigade is still mainly trucks, and we have to march along the main road, and the enemy's strong fortified place must be choked on the main road, if our main force bypasses these strongholds, the baggage team will have to stop behind, wait for 3 to help open the road, and then the light troops will cover to catch up with us. In this case, we must try to avoid unnecessary battles, especially to avoid storming strong positions, save fuel and ammunition to the greatest extent, and sweep the enemy's rear in the shortest possible time with the minimum consumption, so as to form a campaign encirclement...... All in all, the task of our 4 is to rush forward all the time, and leave the mess and troubles to 3 and the follow-up troops to solve. ”

Xu Soul opened the cigarette case again: "Are you still reluctant to give up your love affair?" ”

"No, now I understand, if Cedian is infantry, the flying wolf is cavalry, infantry troops, our army 4 has been changed to cavalry troops - armored cavalry! The cavalry just charged, charged, and charged, and stabbed into the enemy's weak links where the enemy did not expect it, cut through, swept away their baggage, cut off their rear roads, and created a new Yabnolovo miracle! As for such a thing as a frontal assault on the enemy's formation, hand it over to the infantry, to the infantry corps of our group army, and we and the 1st Army are the cavalry corps of the group army, yes, that's it! ”

Xu Soul patted Zhong Yi, who was too excited: "It's good to understand, I really hope that other people will understand like you, out of secrecy, I didn't explain it so thoroughly before, I hope it's still in time." ”

After that, he turned to Yintian and said: "Ji Shen, gather all the officers above the company commander level to mobilize and mobilize according to what I just meant, I have to make 4 more trips, so I won't delay here." ”

"Yes—"

Putting away the cigarette case, Xu Soul pressed the knife and stood up, and in the face of the two grassroots officers who saluted him with a reverent expression, he nodded in satisfaction in return.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the empire still needs you in the future, do a good job, let go of the fight, and try your best to ...... Survive! ”

……

In the early morning of June 22, 1915, in the mist, behind a long stretch of bushes on the south bank of the river on the western section of the Alkut River front, a camouflage net covered with branches and leaves slowly opened, revealing a neat, invisible row of steel cannon barrels.

On a 10-kilometer front, 250 artillery pieces and 5 mortars were densely lined up, as well as the 4th Infantry Division, 1 Cavalry Brigade, and 1 Independent Boat Bridge Brigade—they were well fed and ready to go.

The south bank town of Krion, the headquarters of the 3rd Regiment Corps.

In front of the door, a tall flat-topped tracked vehicle was parked, and the two dendritic antennas at the rear of the car were three or four meters high, which were extremely eye-catching.

The door opened from the inside, and the two admirals strode out, surrounded by a large group of staff officers with golden tassels on their chests.

The two generals stood in front of the open hatch at the rear of the car, and politely held each other's hands.

"Commander Zhao, it's all up to you."

"Commander Xu, it's all up to you."
