318, Second Battle of Pyonggrad
Command a tank unit?
Zhang Chu was slightly stunned.
Reflexively, I thought of the names of the two people.
One is Guderian.
One is Rommel.
Both of these men are known for being good at commanding armored legions. The most powerful under his command is the tank unit.
Can you replicate their success?
Hehe, don't say it yet.
Is it really possible......
In other words, it seems that they have more convenient conditions than them.
At least, their own opponents are not so strong.
The tank units of the Japanese invaders, as well as the anti-tank units, were not considered powerful.
Speaking of tonnage alone, the No. 3 tank can be destroyed.
In addition, there is enough fuel for its own tank.
Bayi logistics is well-known all over the world.
As long as there is a county nearby, the oil can be delivered at any time. Don't worry about logistical supplies at all.
As for the number of tanks......
It depends on how much valuable equipment can be recovered.
In addition, it depends on how many Japanese tanks are recovered. A hundred of them is no problem anyway.
"Good!"
Zhang Chu agreed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They were also worried that Zhang Chu would refuse. They were all trying to convince him.
They don't have a deep understanding of such new equipment as tanks. Even Li Yunlong didn't know how to command.
If you rush indiscriminately, you will definitely not be able to exert your maximum combat effectiveness.
There must be a principle of command.
"I have ordered all the tanks to be concentrated. Is there a problem? ”
"Nope."
Zhang Chu shook his head.
Inadvertently, Li Yunlong was right.
That is, to use all the tanks in one place. Instead of sprinkling pepper, it was used to match the infantry.
Tanks are the main force in battle.
The infantry fought with tanks. And not the other way around.
The Soviet-German battlefield was entirely dominated by aircraft, tanks and artillery. Mere infantry can only fight street battles at best.
Why did the Japanese invaders lose so badly in the Battle of Nomenkan?
It's tanks and artillery, far inferior to the Soviets. If the infantry rushes upward, it is to send the head!
"Is eight tanks enough?"
"I'll try it first."
"Would you like to get a few more?"
“……”
Zhang Chu was speechless.
This Ding Wei is uneasy and kind.
Apparently he wanted to get more tanks himself.
Anyway, as long as the tank comes, it's the meat in the pot. It doesn't matter whose pot it rots in the end.
"Eight is indeed a little less." Kong Jie interjected.
"If there are thirty, or fifty, the certainty is even greater." Xing Zhiguo also said.
These two are honest people.
They didn't mean to run on Zhang Chu. It is really felt that eight tanks may not be enough.
After all, no matter what the weapon, the quantity is very important.
Even a small bullet is inseparable from the quantity.
The more the merrier.
"There is one thing, if you can do it, I can get thirty tank......s," Zhang Chu said slowly.
"Say!" Before he finished speaking, he was already interrupted by Li Yunlong.
"Say!" Ding Wei followed to make up for it.
"Section Chief Han's side, there are three hundred students, you find a way to intercept them......
"Which section chief Han?"
"Reconnaissance Section of the Northern Bureau, Han Bing."
"Han Bing?"
"Captain Ding, you forgot. Last time, I asked for a group of people with you, and we followed Section Chief Han to escort three hundred students. ”
"Yes!"
Ding Wei immediately remembered.
That's right. There were indeed 300 students. And all of them are men.
At the time, he himself felt that these students were of little use for the time being. It may have to be sent to Yan'an, or other places to study, and then assigned to the army.
Because it is a student soldier, it may be pampered. You can't endure hardship. I don't know what I can do after I get out of the army.
Now it seems that these students will be able to go into battle immediately.
And it can make a big difference.
Do what?
Tanks, of course!
Tanks are a technical class! Cultural knowledge is required!
That's power machinery.
There are all kinds of knowledge involved.
The problem is that the soldiers in their four regiments are basically big and coarse.
There are almost no serious schoolers.
Oh, not almost. It's really not a single one.
The current tank drivers are all pulled out by Lazhuangding. The cultural foundation is poor.
In the long run, it is certainly not the way.
In particular, if the tank unit is expanded, it will need a lot of knowledgeable youth.
In addition, howitzer and field artillery units also need a lot of literate soldiers. After all, artillery is also considered a technical branch.
The pillars are like this, and it's okay to tinker with mortars. It's a bit difficult to engage in field artillery and howitzers.
Now the field artillery and howitzers of the new regiment are all carried out by Wang Zhe. Wang Zhe was originally an artillery soldier of the Northeast Army.
However, there is still a bit of pressure on weapons like howitzers.
"All three hundred?"
"The more the merrier."
"Okay! I'll send a telegram now! Stop them. ”
"Headquarters may not approve ......"
Zhang Chu wanted to speak and stopped.
The headquarters spent so much effort to escort 300 students to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area. And then you Li Yunlong cut off the beard?
Three hundred in one breath? Do you think the boss can approve it?
Even if the boss approves it, it may be useless. In the end, it has to be approved by the central government at the foot of the pagoda mountain.
Ding Wei: "Lao Li, I'll co-name with you." ”
Kong Jie: "Count me in." ”
Xing Zhiguo: "Count me in." ”
In the end, they called Zhang Dabiao and called the brigade headquarters in the name of four people.
Three hundred students, at least half of them are given. Very useful.
"Any questions?"
"Nope."
"If you have a problem, ask it now......"
"I have!"
It was Zhang Chu who spoke again.
There is one thing, which is very important, and it is necessary to prepare in advance.
"You say."
"There are 400 tons of flour in Yu County, and 400 tons of rice in She County......"
"What?"
"I arranged for someone to send some rice and flour to ...... at the Bayi Logistics Yard in Yuxian and Shexian counties."
Zhang Chu said weakly.
It was something he thought of on the fly. It is necessary to prepare for a protracted war.
The current strength of the Japanese invaders is still very strong, and it is not easy to completely defeat the Japanese invaders.
The second Battle of Pyonggrad could be protracted.
The food problem must not be delayed.
It just so happens that with only 1 million funds, you can buy 400 tons of flour, or 400 tons of rice, so what are you hesitating about?
Buy, buy, buy!
Buy, buy, buy!
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
Ding Wei raised his hand.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"Captain Ding, you say."
"How much flour did you just say?"
"Four hundred tons ......"
"That's ......"
"800,000 catties."
"So many ......"
Everyone was stunned.
800,000 catties of flour! And 800,000 catties of rice!
According to the calculation of two catties of food per day for each soldier, it is enough for them to support them for one or two months.
In this way, there is no need to find a way to raise food and grass.
Seriously, it is really not easy for so many troops to gather together to raise food.
What's more, in the north, the headquarters and brigade headquarters are still considering encircling and annihilating the 29th Division of the Japanese Army. There is also a lot of food and supplies over there.
"Flour and rice have already been delivered?"
"That's right! It has been delivered. Please arrange for someone to remove the supplies as soon as possible. The second wave of supplies is on the horizon. ”
"What? And a second wave? ”
"Yes. The second wave is also flour and rice. And possibly cotton. ”
"I'll arrange it right away!"
Zhao Gang suddenly couldn't hold it back.
800,000 catties of rice!
800,000 catties of flour!
Enough for four of them, as well as local armed forces, fought for a long time.
It's no problem to play for a month or two!
It can also support a considerable part of other brother troops.
What's more, there is a second wave......
"How many pounds is the second wave?"
"It's also four hundred tons. 800,000 catties. ”
"Oh my God!"
Kong Jie couldn't help but gasp.
I was really shocked.
This Zhang Chu can not only get weapons and ammunition, but also food?
Moreover, as soon as you make a move, it is hundreds of thousands of catties?
"How much can I get in total?"
"Three times."
Zhang Chu didn't dare to say too much.
Three times, the amount is quite a lot, a total of 2,400 tons.
Converted, it is a full 4.8 million catties!
Pure gold is enough, one point is not less!
10,000 people, two catties of grain a day, can eat for 240 days! That's eight months!
The second Battle of Ping'angrad shouldn't have to be fought for eight months, right?
It doesn't matter if it's not over eight months. At most, a few more waves will be sent. Fight until the Japanese surrender!
"I'm bothering a few commissars."
"No problem! We'll arrange it right away! ”
The four commissars immediately took their leave.
Under Zhao Gang's unified arrangement, he immediately sent people to Yu County and She County to carry grain.
There are four regiment commanders left, as well as Zhang Chu.
The three regiment commanders also took their own farewell and went back to their troops to prepare for the attack.
"You go to the tank unit first."
"Good!"
Zhang Chu agreed and came out of the headquarters.
As a result, a person outside also came in a hurry. It's Sun Desheng!
Sun Desheng ran in a hurry and almost collided with Zhang Chu.
"Company Commander Sun, what are you doing?"
Zhang Chu grabbed the other party.
I felt that Sun Desheng was angry, and I didn't know who made him angry.
"I can't figure it out!"
"What?"
"I can't figure it out!"
"Can't figure anything out?"
"Why don't you assign combat missions to our cavalry company?"
"What?"
"I'll go find the regimental commander!"
With that, Sun Desheng rushed in.
Zhang Chu wanted to speak and stopped.
No combat mission?
was puzzled, and suddenly heard Li Yunlong shouting:
"Zhang Chu!"
"Here!"
Zhang Chu hurriedly walked in.
I only saw Sun Desheng sighing angrily, but he didn't speak.
Li Yunlong was carrying his hands behind his back.
Zhang Chu: ???
What's going on?
"Zhang Chu!"
"Here!"
"You discuss with Company Commander Sun to see how the cavalry company can play its best role. Later, the cavalry company will also be under your command. ”
"Huh?"
"You're a staff officer at headquarters, what's the problem?"
"Okay!"
Zhang Chu felt weird.
It seems that Li Yunlong is using himself as a shield?
However, the current situation is indeed quite special. The main thing is that both sides are fighting with large corps.
It is indeed difficult for a small cavalry company to have a chance to play.
You can only engage in reconnaissance and the like.
If you want to fight, you don't have a chance at all!
The Japanese are all hedgehogs together. Machine guns and artillery were everywhere. How did the cavalry act?
That......
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind.
Let the cavalry fight with the tanks?
Let the cavalry give the tanks a striker?
