1194 Was the Kwantung Army strong?
…… It is such an absolute elite Japanese army, since the 918 Incident, has been firmly in control of the entire Northeast region, and spent many years to support the puppet Manchurian Zhou State, building the entire Northeast region like an iron bucket.
After the 77 Incident, although China mainly sent troops to fight in the Guannai, the Kwantung Army was also one of the accomplices who were eyeing the enemy.
If it weren't for the need for the need for defense on the northeastern frontier against the powerful Soviet army.
If the Kwantung Army enters the Guannai in large numbers to participate in the battle, the situation of the Chinese army, whether it is the Chiang Army or the Eighth Route Army, will probably become extremely grim.
If you want to defeat such an opponent, don't look at Li Yunlong's bragging-"Lao Tzu fights the elite!" ”
But the reality must be very difficult.
If you want to plan the Northeast in advance and compete with the Kwantung Army, the most powerful Japanese army, as Ding Wei said, the Eighth Route Army may pay a considerable price.
But one thing is certain.
"Planning the Northeast in advance may be a disaster for many soldiers of our generation, but it will definitely be a great help for the subsequent development of China and the peace of future generations!"
"How do I choose, our generation already has the answer!"
"Brothers are on the wall, no matter what, even if the big cake of the Northeast falls into the hands of Jiang Jun, it cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of gringos.
At least if Jiang Jun wants to develop our China, but if these resources are taken away by other countries, it will have nothing to do with the real China.
If we recover the Northeast with our own hands, this will not only allow us to harvest a large amount of military resources, but also further enhance China's political capital in the international community.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
With this premise in mind, I think it's not difficult to choose!
As for casualties, have we sacrificed less over the years?
In order for future generations to have no more wars, for future generations to live peacefully, and for the establishment of a brand-new China, are we still afraid of more bloodshed and sacrifice? ”
Ding Wei nodded heavily in emotion, "What Lao Kong said is good, this answer has always existed in my heart since we decided to join the army revolution, and it has never changed.
As a soldier, if you are afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, then you are still a fart soldier? ”
"Haha, that's right, we're soldiers, what are we doing without fighting? This time, the Kwantung Army, which is not raised by his son, will also taste the power of our Iron Triangle! ”
Li Yunlong, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, said happily.
Of course, after the words of bragging, the three old comrades-in-arms, who also had a pragmatic side, began to analyze the actual again.
Ding Wei took the lead in pointing out: "Although I don't want to say this, we still have to admit that compared with the Japanese puppet army in the Guannai, this Kwantung Army is really strong as an elite devil.
Not to mention far away, let's just say that this time we are fighting around Datong and Zhangjiakou, and besieging the 14th Division of the Central Eastern Army.
We can say that we have an overall advantage.
First of all, the heavy artillery unit arranged by Lao Kong defeated the mechanized combat unit at the vanguard of the 14th Division.
Then, with our Iron Triangle Army as the main force, plus friendly troops in various base areas, we launched a comprehensive siege against this 14th division.
Almost all the aviation forces, including the major aviation bases we have built, have been mobilized to deal with this 14th Division in a targeted manner.
In other words, the killing of the 14th Regiment of the Kwantung Army this time can be said to have directly or indirectly concentrated all the main combat forces of our Eighth Route Army, and only then did it finally accomplish the set campaign goal.
But even so, in the ensuing battle, our encirclement and annihilation battle did not go well.
Take one of the battles as an example, Lao Tzu's entire two regiments, with the help of the surrounding terrain, trapped a part of the 14th division.
According to the calculation of the front-line reconnaissance, the little devil's troops are not many, and they can support a wing, plus I led the troops to chase after them urgently, some of the artillery and heavy weapons that this devil originally carried had no time to transfer to the mountains and forests, and they were all lost or destroyed halfway through.
On the side of my two regiments, the firepower is complete, and there are a lot of artillery, machine guns, and combat vehicles.
And guess what?
In the end, the battle was unusually difficult.
My two regiment commanders are also old subordinates who have followed me for many years, can fight well, have flexible brains, and carry out attacks with the coordination of infantry and artillery, and the follow-up distance of Xu Jin's barrage has even been shortened to 150 meters under close cooperation and bold attempts.
150 meters!
Our soldiers even launched an offensive at the risk of accidental injury.
In addition, the vanguard assault unit was equipped with a considerable number of repeating grenades, and there were advancing bomb throwing groups to supplement the close-range fire attack.
Under such intensity, almost all the hills used by the defense line set up by the devil were blown up by him, and if this was an ordinary little devil, it only took one round of charge, and the battle was basically over.
But damn it, this little devil is really evil, in the face of our intensive firepower, this devil is mainly defensive, basically not fighting back, until our vanguard almost jumped into the opponent's trench, the devil suddenly attacked.
And there was no sign at all, and he directly started a white-knuckle battle coldly.
The soldiers who rushed forward ahead of us were caught off guard, and in addition, the Japanese army formed an absolute superiority in strength in the local white-knuckle battle, and the casualties of the soldiers spread quickly.
The company that rushed forward first, that is, a face-to-face effort, suffered most casualties.
This little devil raised by a son of a bitch is really fatal when he fights, and they use this kind of hand-to-hand combat tactics to make our army's superior artillery unable to exert its power.
In the end, if it weren't for the fact that my two regiment commanders had arranged a considerable number of submachine gun commandos in the assault team in advance, our vanguard troops would have all been folded into it.
That's it, the first round of attack failed, we occupied an all-round advantage, and also lost a lot of people, the sacrifice was so great at that time, I was stunned that the two regiment commanders shed tears! ”
"And what about later? Did you fucking eat this devil? ”
Li Yunlong asked, his eyes also breathing fire, as if he had already felt the fierceness of that battle with Ding Wei's narration.
Ding Wei sighed and said: "We have launched as many as six attacks, but this little devil's fighting will is amazingly tenacious, and even fought until the ammunition and food were exhausted, and after putting our team into the defensive line for hand-to-hand combat, we continued to counterattack by seizing our guns and ammunition."
It wasn't until later, with the cooperation of our aerial firepower, that all this little devil was killed.
But our soldiers also suffered more than 800 casualties, you know, this is our 800 steel helmet elite!
That's it, still with the cooperation of superiority in equipment and air firepower.
If this were left on the ordinary, the casualty figures would probably increase considerably. ”
Li Yunlong nodded, the battle was fierce, but he couldn't say that the combat effectiveness of the troops under Ding Wei's command was too poor anyway.
The combat effectiveness of the steel helmets of the Eighth Route Army is not boasted.
With the coordination of infantry artillery, Xu Jin's barrage can follow up to 150 meters, which is definitely quite a top force, at least in the battle sequence of the Chinese dispatch army, the Eighth Route Army has never encountered such a little devil.
And Li Yunlong also has deep feelings about the toughness of the little devil of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army.
"After the devil's chariot unit was basically disabled by us, I thought that there would be no suspense at all in the next battle, and the chariots of each team would be strangled directly and eat all the remaining little devils.
The little devils against him don't have any anti-tank equipment in their hands, plus the protection ability of our modified tanks has been enhanced.
With chariot units against conventional infantry, do you think about it, what else can be wrong with this?
As a result, I thought that the battle was not difficult, but it scared our old Li.
This little devil raised by a son of a son is crazy, first the rest of the chariots, whether they are tanks or armored vehicles, are all in full swing, and they crash into our chariots.
Fortunately, most of the devil's tanks are medium or light, and they can't knock over our tanks.
But after the collision, the remaining devils jumped out of the chariot one by one, holding explosive bags and grenades and threw themselves straight on our chariot.
The explosions were one after another, and those little devils were blown up one by one, and even the corpses were not complete.
The rest of the devil infantry also launched a suicidal anti-tank battle, holding explosives bags and grenades and rushing straight ahead, although most of them fell under our firepower, but there are always a few little devils who can hold explosives bags to fight our tanks. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but scold: "Damn, this is the desperate way we used to fight when we faced the devil's Iron King Ba, and we really had no way to do it."
But these little devils are also very skilled when they use them, and I don't hesitate or be afraid at all when I see those devils rushing over.
Until the battle is completely over, all the little devils have been wiped out, and our chariot has been damaged a lot because of the devil's suicidal play.
Lao Tzu still feels like a dream.
This pondering, the little devil raised by the son of a bitch is so fierce and so ruthless, if you don't know, you really think that the devil is fighting a righteous battle to protect the family and defend the country! It's like we're invaders! ”
Kong Jie said: "The Kwantung Army is indeed much more powerful than conventional devils in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.
In addition, the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army was specially sent by the Kwantung Army to reinforce the little devils in North China, and judging from the fighting situation, the team was basically some old devils.
These old devils have rich combat experience, and they are the core soldiers in the Devil Kwantung Army, just like those veterans with strong combat effectiveness in our team.
But these soldiers are consumables, if we kill one, he will have one less, and without the rich combat experience accumulated by the number of battles, it will be impossible for the Japanese army to cultivate such a veteran elite in a short period of time.
In addition, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, a large number of elites of the Kwantung Army were transferred.
If we really send troops to the northeast to compete with the Kwantung Army, it is estimated that there will not be too many old devil elites like the 14th Division who are really competing with us.
In addition, based on the lessons and experiences we have learned in the battle to encircle and annihilate the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army, I think we should have a special way of fighting against the elite of the old devils. ”
Ding Wei immediately echoed: "I agree with what Lao Kong said, and I have already discovered the problem at this point."
Those old devils are elite and have strong combat effectiveness and rich combat experience, whether it is a surprise attack or a dangerous hold, they are difficult opponents to deal with.
Especially in close-range encounters and grappling, the tactics that these old devils can think of, as well as the combat power and will to fight, are quite amazing.
It is no exaggeration to say that this time it is our Iron Triangle elite who is dealing with the elite old devils of the 14th Division head-on, and if it is really replaced by other teams, it is really not necessarily the opponent of these little devils.
So, I think before we fight the devils, we must first figure out what kind of team the devils are dealing with, and what is the proportion of the old devils.
If the number of devil elites is large enough, we must not use short blows and long shots, and try to crush the opponent with the advantage of artillery fire.
Under the cover of artillery fire, it doesn't matter if he is an old devil or a new soldier, it is the same, as long as you are flesh and blood, it is impossible to survive.
This is the best way for us to kill the elite of devil veterans at the lowest cost! ”
"It makes sense, Lao Kong, Lao Ding, I think we might as well study and study, and according to the experience of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army this time, we will formulate some special distinguishing methods and coping tactics to deal with the elite of the Kwantung Army." Li Yunlong put forward his own proposal.
Several people quickly came to an agreement.
Later, Kong Jie proposed: "In addition to dealing with the veterans of the Kwantung Army, Lao Li, Lao Ding, the so-called precautions, it is time for us to think about how to use reasonable tactics and preparations to win this war if we really want to send troops to the Northeast and engage in a full-scale confrontation with the Kwantung Army!" ”
"I suggest, first, collect a large amount of relevant information about the Devil Kwantung Army in advance, including sending reconnaissance troops into the northeast region in advance, and conduct all-round collection of local terrain, topography, weather, humanities and other aspects.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, not being defeated in a hundred battles, and not thoroughly understanding our opponents, how can we ensure victory in battle?
Second, we should try to carry out military simulation exercises in response to the Kwantung Army's operations, and try to make the closest simulation of the enemy's equipment and tactics and the severity of the surrounding environment.
It is all the more necessary to let the soldiers adapt to the operation in the severe environment of the cold and freezing weather in the northeast and make full use of the advantages of the environment as much as possible.
Third, it is still necessary to continue to make a fierce stir in North China, and even in Central and East China, and in this way, let the Kwantung Army, which was already elite to the Pacific theater, transfer some troops to the south, and weaken the Japanese army's strength in the northeast as much as possible.
In this way, we will have the opportunity to find a flaw and send troops to the northeast. ”
