Chapter 1337: Recoilless Guns and Bazookas

At the meeting, Tang Qiuli did not make specific campaign arrangements, which was Tang Qiusheng's matter, but combined with his own combat experience of special forces in later generations, he focused on the use of tactics in urban street fighting.

At this time, Tang Qiuli was not like a general commanding nearly a million troops, but like a professor at a military academy, facing new students, there was no way, the army was already used to large corps and field battles, so he casually pulled out any regiment commander or brigade commander and asked him about field ambushes, volleys, and roundabout flank outflanking.

It is no wonder that the independent division started with this, and Tang Qiu, the first brother of the independent division, is the best at such tactics, as the saying goes, what will lead what soldiers, over time, the commanders at all levels of the independent division are familiar with the division commander's complete set of tactics that do not suffer losses, and they are very handy in using them, and they have added a lot of their own creativity.

But now it can't be done, Yangon is an independent division unit, conquering the first major city of the Japanese army on the Indochina Peninsula, the original field battle style is obviously not applicable to the Yangon battlefield, or in other words, the urban siege is a brand-new topic in front of the commanders of the independent division's corps, Tang Qiuli spoke very carefully, and the officers below listened to it fascinated, and the words of the division commander showed a new stage in front of them.

Only Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang were absent-minded, as if they were sitting on a nail board under their buttocks, uncomfortable, with their heads down, and the pen in their hands didn't know what they were drawing. Don't mention it.

Finally, Tang Qiuli said: "Today's military meeting can be regarded as a pre-war mobilization meeting, after commanders at all levels return to the troops. We must be well prepared, we have enough time, we are not in a hurry, especially the three corps that have always surrounded Yangon, I know your thoughts, I want to go to Rangoon now, but you must remember. Don't be impatient. ā€

"Perhaps, in your hearts, you think so, the Japanese army is already cornered, and entering Rangoon is not a problem that can be solved by a charge, remind the commanders, the so-called trapped beasts are still fighting, we must not be careless, we have no power. With the lives of the soldiers, pay for their mistakes, after the battle. The casualties of that unit exceeded the pre-war projections, then it proves that you do not have the ability and qualifications to command this force. ā€

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli's gaze became fierce, he never wanted his subordinates to make the soldiers pay a price they shouldn't pay because of their underestimation of the enemy and arrogance, which could be regarded as a warning in advance, in his opinion. A commander who does not take the lives of his fighters seriously is not a question of qualifications and qualifications, but is committing a crime, a murder.

Under the fierce gaze of the division commander, the officers couldn't help but shrink their necks and consider their original tactics. Tang Qiuli continued: "Urban battles and street battles are the weak points of our troops, especially for the big city of Yangon, buildings, dark forts, and firepower points are all hard bones to gnaw. ā€

They are all people who lead troops to fight, and their love for weapons is deep in their bones, and the new equipment that can be solemnly proposed by the division commander must be a powerful big guy, who has seen the power of the "Thunder" rocket artillery, and the officers are full of expectations for the new equipment, and their necks are stretched out, and their eyes are eagerly looking at Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli smiled and said jokingly: "Is it a bit of a success?" As soon as he heard about the new equipment, they were all like wolves who hadn't eaten meat for a few days, Second Lieutenant Liu, with Staff Officer Le and Staff Officer Liu, to take out the new equipment, so that everyone could see it" Liu Xinlan shook her head, and the two major general staff officers, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, went to work as if they were smiling under the gaze of the audience.

After a while, the two of them came out with the big guy on their shoulders, and the officers below stared wide-eyed, they didn't know, what is this? People still feel quite big when they carry it, but it is far from the big guy in everyone's minds, one is a long tube, especially the things installed in front, which are full of holes, and the other is also a long tube, however, it is open at both ends, and one end is also made into a horn barrel.

Many people were very disappointed, it turned out that the new equipment that the division commander said was such two black iron guys, Tang Qiuli saw the reactions of the officers, he got up, walked to the middle of Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, who were drooping their heads and carrying iron guys, and patted the things on their shoulders.

There was a smile in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Don't underestimate these two new equipment, it is our Special Equipment Research Institute of the Military Industry Bureau of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, it took more than a year to develop, one is a recoilless gun, the other is a bazooka, it is an indispensable weapon in the city street fighting, to deal with the Japanese army in the high-rise fortifications or the hidden forts, if the unit does not need such equipment, you can go to the chief of staff to say it, but after watching the power test demonstration, you must not regret it!" ā€

Tang Qiusheng, commander-in-chief of the Yangon Campaign, temporarily adjourned the meeting after making the campaign arrangements, and before it was dinner time, Tang Qiuli led 16,700 general-level officers to the shooting range, and the test personnel of the Military Industry Bureau had long been ready for battle.

They are all connoisseurs, veterans of fighting, and they can see at a glance the value of recoilless guns and bazookas in urban fortifications, the dead ends that artillery, mortars and other curved firepower cannot reach, and the problems that cannot be solved.

Moreover, it also made up for the lack of direct firepower, the division commander was right, it was a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications and street fighting, after each officer tried to shoot one or two rounds, he fanatically fell in love with these two new equipment, and after the previous meeting, he told the chief of staff Chang Feng that he didn't want this weird-looking iron guy officer, this time, he ran faster than anyone else, and surrounded Chang Feng in the middle.

Tang Qiuli looked at such a scene with a smile, speaking of which, the initial information of the two direct-fire weapons made by the Dingbian Military Industry Bureau was still the sketch drawn by Major General Wang Xu, director of the Military Industry Bureau, when Tang Qiuli returned to Dingbian last time, in the 40s, it was still relatively advanced equipment, the Germans' "Iron Fist" bazooka had not yet been equipped with troops on a large scale, and the Americans' "Bazooka" bazooka was still lying in the real yĆ n room, and it was only at the end of 41 that it began to equip the front-line troops in batches.

Thanks to those experts from the Special Equipment Research Institute, Tang Qiuli's level of equipment manufacturing is relative to that of the first grade of primary school, and the sketch is like a book from heaven, which is difficult enough for those experts, and it took more than half a year to take out the sample, and after a year, it can equip the field troops in large quantities, and the efficiency and speed are absolutely amazing.

In the evening, a special meeting was held on the distribution of these two types of new equipment, and it was finally decided that each infantry company must have a machine gun platoon composed of recoilless guns, rocket launchers, mortars, and heavy machine guns, and an anti-tank gun squad for each infantry company.

He didn't want to see the scenes in the film and television dramas in the later generations, the soldiers of the ** army, braving the fierce fire of the enemy, holding cluster grenades or explosives bags, using a few lives, to exchange for a bunker and a firepower point, as long as there are conditions, he will never feel sorry for the improvement of the army's equipment, he is still the purpose, can use cannons and machine guns to speak, he will never use the lives of the soldiers to show the so-called fearlessness, and minimize the casualties of the troops, which is his psychological bottom line.

After the end of the military meeting, the troops began to enter into an orderly preparation, and a large number of combat backbones were transferred from various units to learn and train the technical personnel of the Military Industry Bureau in the use of recoilless guns and rocket launchers.

And Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, on the second day after the meeting, were severely reprimanded by Liu Xinlan, these two people's minds were not in the meeting records at all, they were thinking about their embarrassment, the half-day meeting, the record book, wrote less than 200 words, and did not match the preface, Liu Xinlan, who wanted to sort out the meeting minutes, was furious.

The division commander's speech was a textbook for urban street fighting, and Deputy Division Commander Tang and Chief of Staff attached great importance to it, and asked to sort it out and distribute it to all participating units.

The staff officers and communicators who passed by the staff office, from the crack in the half-open door, saw the two major generals, standing side by side straight, not daring to move, listening to the lecture of a beautiful female ensign about twenty years old, covering their mouths, after running out of the door, laughing so much that their stomachs hurt, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, a stomach of helplessness, this little girl, is destined for the two of us! On this day, when is it a leader?

Tang Qiuli listened to Yang Ketian, the chief of staff, after the colorful description, he was so happy to lean forward and back together, it was really one thing to drop one thing, Liu Xinlan was sure of these two troublemakers, and he was also a little strange, it is said that Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang are also guys with a fiery nature, in their respective troops, the boss is used to it, why don't they dare to say a word? Discipline in accordance with the rules?
