Chapter 342: Athletic Warfare
In the face of the two-sided attack of the Yue army, the Min army has fallen into an extremely dangerous situation. The only way to break this deadlock is to concentrate superior forces and defeat the army first. However, the eastern and western armies have 60,000 or 70,000 troops, and it is absolutely not easy to destroy the 60,000 or 70,000 troops in a short period of time.
What's more, after the battle of Huzhou, no matter how arrogant the little devil is, he already knows the strength of the Min army, and it is impossible to be as arrogant as before, giving the Min army a chance to break through. What's more, in the first battle of Huzhou, although the Fujian army won the final victory, under the encouragement of the successive battles, the morale was unprecedentedly high. However, the losses of the Fujian army in this battle were not small, although it was not enough to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of them, but they annihilated 100,000 Japanese troops, and more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Fujian army were killed, and more than 10,000 wounded. In other words, Jin Zhao now has less than 100,000 combatable soldiers left. Such a force has no advantage at all for the two roads of about 150,000 little devils.
In the Huzhou Headquarters, Jin Zhao and a group of staff officers in the headquarters were discussing the current battle situation around a sand table. Chief of Staff Wen Yingxing frowned and said, "The current situation is very unfavorable to our army!" The army is menacing. But on the other hand, our army, after the first battle of Huzhou, the troops suffered a lot of casualties, and just after a big battle, it has become a tired division. The most important thing is not these, in the first battle of Huzhou, our army's ammunition consumption was serious, and now the ammunition reserves of the front-line troops are no longer enough to support us to fight a large-scale battle! Speaking of Wen Yingxing, he glanced at Jin Zhao complainingly, if it weren't for Jin Zhao's words, don't save ammunition for Lao Tzu, and beat his mother fiercely for Lao Tzu, how could he consume so much ammunition, in Wen Yingxing's eyes, Jin Zhao's way of playing is a complete loser!
Jin Zhao didn't care at all, naturally he didn't notice the white eyes thrown by Wen Yingxing, which made Wen Yingxing waste his feelings in vain. Jin Zhao continued to look at the sand table in front of him and said, "Insufficient ammunition reserves? Just let Li Qiuyuan send it quickly! ”
Wen Yingxing couldn't help but roll his eyes again, and said in his heart, you old man, the upper lip touched the lower lip, and it was easy to say. More than 100,000 troops, a day of people eating horses and chewing is an astronomical number, and these have to be sent here thousands of miles from Fujian! At present, Fuzhou's logistics department is at full capacity, but it is impossible to replenish enough ammunition for Huzhou's 100,000-strong army in just one or two days. Jin Zhao is usually a typical shopkeeper, and he has never cared about these logistical matters, so he doesn't know the situation at all. Although Wen Yingxing was angry in his heart, in front of so many people, he naturally couldn't complain about Jin Zhao, so he could only honestly say to Jin Zhao, "Now the logistics department is at full capacity, but Fujian is far away, and the logistics supply cannot be replenished in a short period of time." ”
"That's it!" Jin Zhao nodded, frowning. Wen Yingxing thought that he was worried about this matter, but he didn't know that Jin Zhao didn't take this matter to heart at all. Because Jin Zhao can exchange all kinds of materials through the system, there is no logistical pressure at all. It's just that Jin Zhao also knows in his heart that to be like the real rise of Huaxia, relying on the system is not a long-term solution after all. Therefore, now Jin Zhao only relies on the system to summon some talents urgently needed in Fujian, and as for the materials, he still relies on Fujian's factories to produce them themselves. Jin Zhao usually doesn't use the system to exchange materials, it doesn't mean that he can't use it, if it comes to a critical moment, Jin Zhao will not hesitate to use the system. So regarding logistics, Jin Zhao was not worried at all. The reason why he frowned was that he suddenly thought that now that he was in northern Zhejiang, the logistical pressure was so great, and the logistical pressure of Weng Zhaoyuan's 26th Group Army in northern China was even greater.
In fact, what Jin Zhao didn't know was that with Fujian's current transportation capacity, if it was only to supply the 100,000 Fujian troops under Jin Zhao, it would definitely be more than enough, but with the 26th Group Army in North China, Zhang Junsong's New Seventh Army still had two divisions in Yangzhou, and it was necessary to help Li Long's headquarters in Suiyuan from time to time.
"Don't worry! The Fujian side has urgently allocated all kinds of materials to the front line. Wen Yingxing couldn't help but persuade when he saw that Jin Zhao was always frowning.
But at this time, Jin Zhao suddenly swung and interrupted Wen Yingxing, "According to the current situation, I don't know if the chief of staff has any good strategy to break the enemy?" After speaking, Jin Zhao looked at Wen Yingxing expectantly.
Wen Yingxing frowned and thought for a moment, "Headquarters!" Judging from the current situation, the best way to break the two-sided attack of the Yue army is to concentrate superior forces to break one of the Yue armies. But given our current situation, it may be difficult to defeat any of these armies in a short period of time. Unless Tang Shengzhi can mobilize the defenders of Nanjing to launch a counterattack, flank us on both sides, and defeat the Western Route Army first. ”
Jin Zhao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Don't say that Tang Shengzhi may not be willing to help us, even if Tang Shengzhi is willing to help us, do you think he can mobilize the arrogant soldiers in Nanjing?" ”
Hearing Jin Zhao say this, Wen Yingxing also smiled bitterly. Tang Shengzhi was nominally the commander of the Nanjing garrison, but in fact he was a bare-bones commander. If it was to defend Nanjing, the 100,000 Central Army in Nanjing would still listen to him, and if they were transferred to rescue Huzhou, Tang Shengzhi might not be able to mobilize them. What's more, there is still about a division of the army under the city of Nanjing, although it is not easy for the little devil to capture Nanjing, but it is much easier to contain the 100,000 [***] in Nanjing City. Even if the defenders of Nanjing were willing to send troops to rescue Huzhou, in terms of [***] generally compared to the rescue speed of the cheating father, by the time they arrived in Huzhou, the battle would probably have ended long ago.
Jin Zhao said with a smile, "It's better to ask for others than for yourself!" If we want to defeat the little devils, we have to rely on ourselves, and others can't be relied on after all! ”
Wen Yingxing saw that Jin Zhao actually showed a smile at this time, and the frowning brow on his forehead couldn't help but stretch out, Wen Yingxing's heart moved, could it be that Jin Zhao had already thought of some strategy to break the enemy, with this kind of doubt, Wen Yingxing couldn't help but ask, "Does the general seat already have a strategy to break the enemy?" ”
Jin Zhao smiled and waved his hand, and said with a smile, "I can't talk about the strategy of breaking the enemy, but I don't think we can blindly defend passively, the army has more troops than us, if it continues like this, even if we can win in the end, how many people can be left in our 25th Group Army?" "This kind of result should be what Lao Jiang wants to see the most, Jin Zhao thought secretly in his heart.
"So what are we going to do?" Wen Yingxing asked suspiciously.
Jin Zhao said with a smile, "I don't know if the chief of staff has studied the tactics of the Red Army!" ”
"The tactics of the Red Army?" Wen Yingxing was even more confused, I don't know why Jin Zhao suddenly mentioned the Red Army at this time, could it be that the general seat wants to emulate the tactics of the Red Army, Wen Yingxing began to recall some of the strategies and tactics of the Red Army, "The general seat is talking about guerrilla warfare?" Wen Yingxing was even more confused, in the eyes of Wen Yingxing, a genuine military academy graduate general, the so-called guerrilla warfare was nothing more than a sneak attack, and it was difficult to wait for the elegant hall at all.
Seeing Wen Yingxing's expression of disdain, Jin Zhao couldn't help but shake his head and said, but Jin Zhao also knew that it was not easy for a high-ranking general like Wen Yingxing to accept guerrilla warfare. Jin Zhao didn't explain and said with a smile, "It's not guerrilla warfare, it's sports warfare!" ”
Movement warfare, which seeks out fighters through constant maneuvers, interspersed with detours between enemies, makes it impossible for the enemy to judge their motives. Concentrate superior forces, disperse the enemy's forces, destroy the enemy one by one, and finally win. It is suitable for use when the enemy is strong and I am weak.
Guerrilla warfare is mainly to break up the whole into parts, constantly harass the enemy in the form of small units, and pays special attention to attacking the enemy's important targets and logistical units, and runs away after the battle, so that the enemy is unable to defend against it, but no one can be found. This is the best tactic that a very weak side can do against a strong enemy.
The premise of guerrilla warfare is to break up the whole into parts, fight on the second front in the enemy's rear, and focus on sabotage warfare. The units of the mobile warfare will be larger, and it is required to turn the parts into a whole, meet the enemy on the front line, and find an opportunity with movement in order to annihilate most of the enemy's living forces in one fell swoop. The guiding ideology of the two is the same, and both require that when there is a big difference between the enemy's forces and our side, and our side is at a disadvantage, we should defuse the enemy's offensive edge with movement, seek favorable opportunities, concentrate our superiority, and be unprepared to attack the enemy. At the tactical level of guerrilla fighters, sports warfare is at the level of strategic battles.
Seeing that Wen Yingxing and the others still didn't understand, Jin Zhao briefly introduced the basic principles and some differences between sports warfare and guerrilla warfare.
Then Jin Zhao said very confidently, "I think that in the current situation, it is a good choice for our army to be transported to war." The two divisions of the 202nd and 205th Divisions, the main forces of our army, are fully mechanized troops, and their mobility is much stronger than that of the little devil's semi-mechanized troops. If we play a positional offensive and defensive battle with the little devils in a regular manner, it is tantamount to taking the initiative to give up our greatest advantage. ”
"What is the specific strategic plan for the general seat?" Wen Yingxing seemed to have understood Jin Zhao's strategic intentions, and then asked.
But then Jin Zhao's answer made Wen Yingxing a little disappointed. I saw Jin Zhao looking at the sand table map in front of him, and said casually, "I just have a general idea in my heart, as for the specific strategy, I don't have it for the time being!" ”
Wen Yingxing shook his head helplessly, looked at the sand table in front of him and fell into deep thought, and began to think hard about the feasible surname of the sports war that Jin Zhao said.
At this moment, Jin Zhao seemed to have suddenly made up his mind, clenched his fists and lightly hammered it on the table, "That's it!" ”
Everyone looked at Jin Zhao suspiciously, only to see that the corners of Jin Zhao's mouth unconsciously showed a smile, and the expression on his face was full of confidence, with a feeling of being in his chest. (To be continued.) )
