After explaining for more than an hour according to the map, Yang Bangzi looked at the platoon commanders of these companies under his command, and they still seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and it is no wonder that most of the local armed wars are based on feelings, and they are based on the terrain around their villages, and they are fighting with devils, because they have grown up in these ditches and forks since childhood, so they don't need to talk about them, they will also ambush and retreat.

But now it has become a regular army, although this military uniform is still worn in a variety of ways, after all, everyone has at least a military hat, whether it is a black coarse cotton jacket or a gray cotton robe, a piece of cloth is sewn on it, with the number and name of the army written on it, this is considered the eight ways of the eight classics!

The benefits of becoming a regular army as we said earlier, meritorious service is rewarded, injured are taken care of, and dead are buried. If you are glorious, your family members can also become military martyrs, and the crops in the field have to be planted with the help of someone in the village.

The enthusiasm is absolutely high, the last time I went to the stronghold Lao Feng led the team, these new additions didn't bring much, only the old foundation of the battalion, and the support team composed of cadre training classes. I'm afraid that I won't be able to help when I fight, and then I'll be held back, but this time Yang Stick said, as long as it's made up, it's brought, and the purpose is actually to train the team in addition to robbing devils.

Those who have been soldiers know that no matter how good they are on the training ground, they are really on the battlefield, the bullets are swishing on the top of the melon, and the shells are clanging around them. As long as the recruit has been on the battlefield twice, he will basically be an apprentice if he survives.

And it's not easy to bring recruits, so it's even harder to train the platoon commander. It doesn't matter what kind of official you are. All of them are soldiers! Learn from scratch. The platoon commander was pulled out of the original two or three hundred old foundations, and veterans who had many combat experiences could only save snacks when they were company platoon commanders to lead the troops.

But it happened to be the investigation and rectification, and more than half of the original old foundation were all people from the new Second Division brought over by the Second Bald Dragon, and it can be said above that it didn't take long to join the Eighth Road, and even one year was not enough, and this political consciousness could not be passed, so the investigation team rejected the list of cadres who had been originally reported. There was no choice but to let some captains who were supplemented by the local armed forces serve as company and platoon commanders.

But this batch of recruits is not the same as the soldiers officially recruited by the cadres, what is the militia? It's that the devil comes and takes the gun, regardless of whether he fights rabbit guns or bird guns, and the little devils give up their lives to fight, and the devils are gone, and then pick up hoes or something to grow crops to feed their wives and children, this is called militia!

If they are immediately dismissed from their posts on the spot, not to mention their enthusiasm, it is easy for them to split up small groups that are opposed to each other in the troops, and this is a fatal point that affects the combat effectiveness and the unity of the troops. Yang Bangzi must not do this, so he can only tire himself. Teach by example.

The militia is combative! It can even be said that the militia on the edge of the base area has more actual combat experience than the regular army! The devils come to small-scale clean-up and sweep in three days, and the militia and district teams are busier than the real eight roads.

Don't underestimate this militia, it has no culture and no military quality, but people are also defending their homes and defending the country, and they are guarding their own homes, and the will to fight is probably stronger than any army, not only that we have a militia in China, a half-military and half-civilian organization, but also many other countries also have this kind of establishment, such as the United States and its National Guard, which is a combination of militia and reserves.

After the combat meeting was over, regardless of whether they understood it or not, from Yang Bangzi down, dozens of cadres with troops were all pulled to the east of Majiatai, not far from the main river of the Puyang River, and Yang Bangzi gave a lecture on the spot.

The main thing is to explain the problem of the devil blockade that must be faced first in this operation. For example, the blockade line in front of us is controlled by the fire of the strongholds and turrets not far apart, the deep trenches and barbed wire fences restrict the movement and detours of our troops, and there are also the second-line strongholds and turrets of the devils in depth, once the first line is attacked, the second-line strongholds and turrets will send reinforcements to plug the gaps and rescue along the communication trenches.

Lurking on the earthen beam on the west side of the river, Yang Bangzi asked everyone to use a telescope to observe the situation on the other side one by one, and he drew a loess sand table on the back of the earthen beam, marking the village and the devil's stronghold one by one.

This time, Yang Bangzi planned to move the troops and transport teams over the blockade line from the northeast of Waist Mountain Town and the southwest of Maoshan Village, and the specific plan was to start this evening, and after the second battalion, the third battalion, and the transport team crossed the blockade ditch in batches, and then went out to the front line of Songjiazhuang before dawn.

The closer the village is to the blockade line, the fewer the common people, and the troops will go, because of the cruel and cruel sitting method of the enemy and the hypocrite, the common people do not dare to help the eight roads openly, and sometimes they will go to the devil to ventilate the news or something. However, when it comes to the core areas of the enemy-occupied areas, many village-level organizations that we have engaged in in the past are still there, and the mass base is better than that in the areas close to the base areas.

The reconnaissance company of the 1st Battalion and the Regiment did not move, and served as a guard during the operation tonight, controlling the strongholds of the devils in Waist Mountain Town and Maoshan Village, in case they discovered the movement of troops and came out to attack. Wait until tomorrow night when the first battalion crosses the blockade line and inserts itself directly into the barbarian battalion. The reconnaissance company remained on the west side of the ditch to wait for the response.

In terms of the terrain in front of you, plus the demonstration on the sand table, this time the lecture is also very thorough, and I can understand much faster, how to put the troops in a trapezoidal shape, march through the blockade line at night in a layered way, how to keep the troops always flanked by the two wings during the march, how to maintain the integrity of the troops and prevent the soldiers from being chaotic in the night march and battle, and so on.

These experiences accumulated in Yang Bangzi's mind have all fallen here, in the past, the master and apprentice had to keep a hand, and many of the current film and television dramas also hide many generals one by one, which is all tricky! In fact, in our party's troops, they have always been passed on and led! Quite simply, if you don't pass on your lessons to your subordinates, will you still be alive if they die?

From our party's Mao Taizu to Commander-in-Chief Zhu, to General Peng Da, etc., you can see that many of the historical video materials left behind are among the generals and soldiers, who are talking with their fingers crossed, of course, not all of them are talking about politics, most of them are talking about military affairs!

For example, there is a photo after the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, which is Mr. Peng speaking to a large group of officers wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and friendly troops in the courtyard, according to the photographer's recollection, at that time Mr. Peng was talking about the experience of the battle of Guanjiayuan, which is definitely to give these officers a lesson based on their judgment and tactical application of the battle, combined with the actual process of the battle, so the next time these officers themselves lead the troops to encounter a situation similar to the battle of Guanjiayuan, at least he has the bottom in his heart, he can remember what Mr. Peng said, When a large force goes to besiege the devil troops that occupy favorable terrain, they must not storm by force, but they must divide the troops into several groups, multi-way assaults, and so on.

This is what Yang Bangzi is doing at the moment, since he and Secretary Zhang have been with them for such a long time, he vaguely judged in his heart that there will be many more battles and tasks in and out of the enemy-occupied area in the future than staying at home.

This is only the first lesson, now learn and use, talk too much, these sorghum flower heads can't digest it at once. The tactics and experiences that will be used tonight will be explained immediately, and letting these company and platoon commanders go back to organize the soldiers to digest them is equivalent to learning tactics from top to bottom.

The biggest advantage of this is that as a soldier, you can also learn a lot of things that only officers can learn, and groups of soldiers can grow up in actual combat and become new commanders, which is very different from the platoon commander and above in the national army, who have to be born in a professional class.

As mentioned earlier, the biggest advantage of the top-down training system of the Eighth Route Army is that soldiers can grow from the battlefield to commanders. On the battlefield, not only the lives of soldiers are fragile, but also the lives of middle and lower-ranking officers, who often have to personally lead soldiers to charge into battle, and the casualty rate is also very high.

For example, in the Battle of Taierzhuang, the casualty rate of the division, battalion, and platoon commanders in Chifeng City was as high as 90%, and the loss rate of middle and lower-level officers was high, which directly affected the changes on the battlefield.

The same problem also existed in the Japanese army, once the officers with the troops were hung up, the soldiers were leaderless, and the formation was chaotic, such as the battle of Loess Ridge, after the death of Abe Norihide's middle artillery, the adjutant and lieutenant officers in the army also lost a lot, and the whole army was compressed into a position of less than one square kilometer.

Later, the devil urgently airdropped dozens of officers before he took the remnants of the troops to stand out, which also shows that the defects of the military academy system of the Japanese army are the same as those of the national army, and once the officers are injured, the combat effectiveness of the troops will plummet.

On the other hand, since the establishment of the Red Army, it has been a soldier selection system, and special attention has been paid to the cultivation of tactics and military qualities of ordinary soldiers in peacetime. (To be continued......)
