336 Blitzkrieg
"It has to be Gao Jianwu, this kid who is energetic! The little devils of the 4 divisions actually did it as soon as they said it! It can't be compared, it really can't be compared! Li Yunlong grinned and said, but his tone did not hear a trace of regret, but was quite embarrassed, as if he had won the battle.
Because nominally, Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu are still holding positions in the Ping'an Army Division, and they are still old comrades-in-arms of the pit.
"Aren't you quite capable? What did you tell me before, that the tank cluster is in your hands, and you can level the world? How about now? It's a bit blind to the main force of this group of little devils in Fengtian. The Grand Brigade Commander shook his head and said.
"But I found that Gao Jianwu's fight is really weird, and he often fights incredible fairy battles.
The battle of four draws cannot be so easy. After all, the little devil dispatched more than 50,000 people from 4 divisions, and if we have tank clusters and artillery clusters, plus the bombing of the air force, it is not unusual to have such a high battle loss ratio.
But Gao Jianwu only has 5 artillery battalions, and the main artillery is actually a few points weaker than the little devils, and the air force has dispatched a wave of bombing, but Gao Jianwu has completely suppressed the opponent's artillery, and we can't learn this skill. ”
After scolding Li Yunlong, the brigade commander couldn't help but praise Gao Jianwu.
Defeating the strong with the weak and killing 4 reorganized divisions in the first battle, this skill is really unenviable, and the brigade commander thinks that he can't do it at all.
Even if he has more than 100,000 people in his hands now, it is difficult to annihilate a few divisions and regiments.
Little devils are not so stupid, it is quite difficult for more than 100,000 people to surround 50,000 people.
Gao Jianwu really took shit luck this time, and encountered the death order issued by the little devil, even if it was the limit of one exchange for one heap of human lives, he would kill Gao Jianwu's cluster!
That's why these little devils carried out this order one after another.
It's not that none of them ran, but the little devils who are above the squadron have launched a desperate onboard charge this time!
Either buried under the fierce artillery fire, or died under the dense light and heavy machine guns, a main battalion of more than 1,000 people, you dare to believe that there are 45 light machine guns and 9 heavy machine guns!
"Brigade commander, shouldn't we also move, let's fish so far, it can be regarded as a complete merit, this little devil has also been fished, and Gao Jianwu's kid has also successfully knocked down Xinjing. It's time for our people to be out of action, too. Li Yunlong said impatiently.
In order to mobilize the little devils, after the Battle of Jinzhou, they have been suppressing the speed of their advance, and only now have they advanced to the Tai'an area, which is nearly a hundred kilometers away from Shengjing!
"What's the hurry, the show has just begun, some of them are fought by you, according to the information provided by Gao Jianwu, this time the little devil also mobilized a group of troops from the peninsula. We'll have to wait until they arrive before we take down their main force in one fell swoop. ”
The brigade commander has already had a preliminary idea of the unit's coordinated combat power by using air-ground coordination, infantry and artillery coordination, and infantry and artillery coordination.
For him, no matter how many little devils come now, it's not a big problem. As long as the logistics department can keep up, there will be no problems with the replenishment of weapons and ammunition. The brigade commander feels that he can cover the entire Northeast with one army!
If the little devil is willing to come up and fight him.
To be honest, this is the first time that the brigade commander has commanded a large-scale coordinated operation of tanks and artillery, and the effect of the coordinated operation of the troops is far greater than that of one plus one.
The battlefield has now completely become the king of firepower. The original lethal tactics of the sea of people are almost useless under super firepower.
The role of artillery and tanks now faintly surpasses that of infantry!
This made the brigade commander faintly feel in his heart that the pattern of future warfare had begun to change greatly.
The Air Force, Artillery, and Tanks are the specialized arms that begin to dominate the battlefield!
The role of infantry on the battlefield has declined dramatically, so the number of people is no longer the key to victory or defeat on the battlefield.
The role of the technical arms has risen to a decisive point.
Sheng Jing, the brigade commander, is ready to turn into a decisive battle. It is hoped that through this battle, the main force of the little devil and the Kwantung Army will be defeated in one fell swoop, and the next thing will be Pingchuan.
The decisive battle here, for the big brigade commander, on the one hand, is to reduce the advantage of the little devil's home battle, let the troops carry out the decisive battle in a relatively internal place, and advance all the way to occupy the railway line, so that the materials can now be continuously transported from North China, so that the huge consumption of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the big brigade commander, even if there is no Gao Jianwu's hanging system, can still be supported by the railway line.
】
Li Yunlong's overall view in this regard is much worse, and he doesn't see these subjective and objective advantages, so he is a little impatient to fight forward.
In fact, for the brigade commander, what he hopes most is to mobilize the little devil to fight a decisive battle with him in Tai'an and Liaozhong.
Now it seems that the little devil is ready to move, and there is a good hope for this purpose.
"Li Yunlong, now I will give you a task, that is, after we complete a general battle, you plan how to attack Anshan and take down the steel plant to labor and capital!"
"No matter what kind of troops you want, labor and management are ready for you, and the only requirement is to take down Anshan Iron and Steel to ensure that the main production equipment and production lines can resume production quickly."
The brigade commander now has the opportunity to take charge of his own affairs, and Ding Wei and Kong Jiexian needless to say, they are now almost responsible for the development of a large base area.
Even Cheng Blind is now the main general, guarding a huge territory in western Henan to guard against the sudden attack of hundreds of thousands of troops in Guozhuan.
So now, although there are more than 100,000 people, there are really not many generals like Li Yunlong under the brigade commander who can fight and dare to fight.
"Yes, Brigadier Commander! A small steel factory, Xiao Li, I will definitely be caught! Li Yunlong didn't have any idea about that steel plant, thinking that it was similar to the steel plant in Jinyang, so he was in a relaxed mood.
"You kid knows a fart, do you know how much steel Showa Steel produces in a year? Labor and management tell you that their annual output of steel ingots is 414,000 tons, which is more than 8 times more than our Jinyang Iron and Steel! The Grand Brigade Commander looked at Li Yunlong's indifferent appearance, and couldn't help but knock.
"They occupy almost half of the city in Anshan, and it can even be said that this city was developed because of steel! This steel mill is the life of that city. ”
"Ah, they're so big." Li Yunlong was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, a steel mill occupied half of the city, which seemed a little unimaginable to him.
But the Grand Brigadier will not lie.
So Li Long Yunlong cheered up all of a sudden. "Yes! Brigade commander, I will carefully organize the team and take this city completely! ”
The brigade commander said this point, and Li Yunlong didn't have the energy to deal with it, so his IQ was a little anxious.
Li Yunlong is obviously not that stupid.
"It is one of the most important objectives for us to seize the Northeast. A steel mill and a Shengjing Arsenal, two of the most famous and valuable factories, we must try to capture them completely. The brigade commander was still a little relieved to see that Li Yunlong had finally become serious.
Li Yunlong must have no problem fighting, he has fought a lot of hard battles in his life, and has full experience in turning the tables against the trend, and now that he has super firepower in his hands, this kid can also be remarkable.
As long as it is serious, the brigade commander has nothing to worry about.
...
On the other hand, Gao Jianwu had no intention of resting, and after only staying in Siping for one night to rest, he led the team to Tieling the next day, relying on the speed and convenience of mechanized marching.
Gao Jianwu arrived more than 3 kilometers outside the Tieling city wall in one day, camped and prepared for war.
Yamada Otozo, who had already been frightened by Gao Jianwu in Siping, said that he would not send troops out to fight in the field this time, and he found that the field battle with Gao Jianwu's troops was almost purely a head-off.
Those middle and lower-level officers who are so stupid that they don't dare to let them out to fight in the field now, for fear that all the little devils will die after the battle, so that he will even block the way back to retreat!
The current Yamada Otozo is completely frightened.
The entire 4 divisions, that was a huge defeat that had never been recorded in the history of war, and now Yamada Otozo's heart hurts so much that he can't breathe.
"Kuroki-kun, this time the enemy is menacing, what is our strategy to do to stop these people in Shengjing City?" Yamada Otozo is really going to ask for a plan this time.
"Your Excellency Commander, if I understand correctly, this time we will focus on positional defense, our mobile division has been eaten, and now we are very passive, I hope that while defending, we can also organize some people to counterattack."
"If there is no counterattack, the Eighth Route must think that our strength is no longer enough, and I am afraid that they will go all out against us."
Major General Kuroki said.
"Ryūshi, Kuroki-kun, what are we supposed to do according to you?" Yamada Otozo is really a little helpless now.
You can't beat it, and you can't run away if you run away.
It seems that there is really no chance for them except to fight to the death.
"Some of us scattered into the city to prepare for street fighting, and the rest formed a strict brigade formation to carry out counterattack combat missions.
Personally, I feel that in the middle of our subsequent tactical deployment, special attention should be paid to the suppression of the enemy's artillery and to weaken the enemy's artillery superiority as much as possible.
In Siping, the artillery fire of more than 50,000 people and four integrated divisions and regiments fell behind.
Not to mention the new integrated divisions and regiments of the new 8 teams, the strength is even weaker, and it is even more difficult to defend against the frontal battle of the main force of the Eighth Route.
After all, now that many large cities in the northeast have been captured by the Eighth Road, they seem to have sufficient reserves of weapons and ammunition.
Frankly, it's almost impossible to win head-to-head. ”
Yamada Otozo's eyes froze.
The prescription prescribed by Kuroki Takashi is a bit different from what Yamada Otozo thought, after all, this is the era when firepower is king, and it is beyond reproach to properly plan a counter-raid during the defensive process.
But street fighting, then you are completely prepared to die with the enemy in the city.
This is somewhat incompatible with the idea that Yamada Otozo has assembled the main forces of the Kwantung Army to prepare for a decisive battle.
"Kuroki-kun, if we fight in the streets, I'm afraid these cities we occupy will be reduced to ruins, the empire has finally taken this place, and it has been hard to build it for several years, and now it has become our second mainland, do we really need to take this step?"
"Your Excellency Commander, I'm afraid we have to do this, although we may pay a heavy price, but as long as we fight back the Eighth Road, this place will always be ours, and we can rebuild."
Major General Kuroki went the other way, preparing to introduce the Eastern Front Attack Group into street fighting, using traditional methods to annihilate their enemies.
This idea was also thought about by the South China Front at the beginning, but it was stopped by the base camp.
Now that Major General Kuroki has brought it up again, I'm afraid no one knows if the little devil really did this, and how the Eighth Road side will deal with it.
...
"Tieling is just a little devil brigade defender and two puppet army brigades, if we want to fight, it is estimated that it will only be a few hours to blast the city wall open." Gao Jianwu stood 4 kilometers outside Tieling and set up a headquarters and artillery position, and said to several staff officers of the headquarters.
"Now we have two ways of fighting, one is to encircle the point to send reinforcements, and we mainly use small-scale harassment and artillery bombardment to attract little devil reinforcements to come out."
"So we don't have to give it all and just keep it high."
"The other one is to fight and rush, and directly find a way to take it, so that the little devil reinforcements are caught off guard. Which one do you think is better? ”
Gao Jianwu has assigned a new assignment to the staff officers of the headquarters, and this topic is not too big for Gao Jianwu. But for those staff officers, the problem is not simple.
"Commander Gao, I think it's better to surround the point and send reinforcements." A staff officer pondered for a moment before standing up and speaking.
"On the one hand, we are familiar with this tactic, and on the other hand, our combat power is strong enough, and the three little devil divisions can't control us. In this way, we can keep fishing and lure the main force of the little devils here.
We have plenty of ammunition, fierce artillery fire, and we are not afraid of the siege of the little devils. We are sure that we will send reinforcements. ”
This staff officer obviously still saw the powerful lethality of the artillery cluster under the command of Gao Jianwu, so he had a soft spot for encirclement and reinforcement.
"I think it's a good idea if it's normal, but it's a bit inappropriate now." Gao Jianwu shook his head.
"We've beaten the little devils so hard that maybe they're already planning a street fight in the city! We must not allow them to complete the deployment of street fighting, blitzkrieg in advance, and wipe them out in formation on the defensive positions outside the city.
So Tieling must be taken quickly, and then continue to blitz the next target! ”
Gao Jianwu said categorically.
Not only did he do this, Gao Jianwu also immediately telegraphed the troops on the southern and northern fronts that they would now speed up the march and no longer give the little devil any time to adjust
