Chapter 573: Turtle
For example, Guyuan, the front is indeed bombarded with artillery fire.
There was a small charge from behind, allowing a brother to drag back a corpse as he retreated.
Although the price was paid by several brothers, the reward was great.
The opponent turned out to be a company commander, and through the memory of the other party, he could figure out some of the opponent's high-level decisions and some defensive weak areas.
There was such a harvest with only one corpse, which Zhao Ming did not expect.
Only the second wave of charges took the source of Guyuan, mainly to attack the east and west, and then storm that weak point.
Relying on heavy firepower to suppress, it is easy to seize the source of Guyuan.
Wucheng is a little more troublesome, Wucheng is still different from a small place like Guyuan after all.
The senior commander of Guyuan is also the regimental headquarters, and the command is very casual, and there is not much concealment in decision-making, so that middle and low-level officers can know the general deployment of other front armies.
Wucheng is different, although Zhang Li's defensive battle is sparse, the secrecy of military orders is very high.
So much so that Zhao Ming's golden finger was almost useless at this moment.
But that battle was Haidongqing's meritorious service.
Through Hai Dongqing's observation, he learned the general direction of the concentration of people in many Wucheng.
But Hai Dongqing is an animal after all, where can he know how to express it very clearly, he can only express a general direction to Zhao Ming.
This is also the reason why Zhao Ming sent troops to conduct a small-scale tentative attack that afternoon.
If there is no Hai Dongqing, most of them will have to try more times to find out the situation.
But with Hai Dongqing, after trying five or six times, he figured out the general strength and weakness of the opponent's defense.
This hand can't be imitated by others, first of all, who can raise such a bird of prey among senior officers?
Even if it could be raised, this bird of prey would not be so spiritual.
It can only be said that Zhao Ming's taming of this Hai Dongqing is extremely high, and with the taming skills obtained by the golden finger, as well as the arrow that day, it can be regarded as leaving a deep impression on the mind of this beast, and he is very well-behaved to Zhao Ming's taming.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is nothing more thorough than this Hai Dongqing's taming.
Therefore, Zhao Ming had to go over in person to tackle this kind of thing.
With Hai Dongqing and Golden Finger, you can know the movement of that cavalry one step ahead before the reconnaissance company reacts.
Once the monkey is defeated, he can also know in advance, so that when he doesn't find the other party, the other party has already started to sneak attack.
The next day, the army began to complete the assembly and divide into two routes, one side led by Wang Er and Baoshan with 12,000 men, that is, a division plus a regiment.
One or two fire reinforcement companies were added, and two artillery batteries were used for fire suppression.
The heavy firepower of the artillery battalion and the firepower reinforcement company under Zhao Ming was not ordinarily fierce.
Even the number of people is overnumbered, normally a firepower reinforcement company is about one or two hundred, but Zhao Ming's firepower reinforcement company can often reach more than two hundred.
In other words, the number of people in the two reinforced companies together is almost equal to that of a reinforced battalion.
The same is true of the two artillery companies, but the total number of Zhao Ming's artillery battalion has reached more than 1,000 people, which has properly exceeded the standard again.
Without him, there is too much heavy fire and artillery.
Under Zhao Ming's command, there were two cavalry divisions, each equipped with a machine gun company and an artillery company.
Secondly, there is an additional artillery battalion in the whole army, and a support battalion, as well as a guard battalion.
Considering that Wang Er's troops had to bear great pressure to rush to Datong, Zhao Ming also transferred an additional artillery company and machine gun company from the artillery battalion and support battalion.
As Wang Er's department quickly drove to the Datong area, Zhao Ming's department also made some preparations.
There are two regiments here, a support battalion, an artillery battalion, and more than 1,000 Hunan soldiers.
In total, more than six or seven thousand people.
In Wucheng, only two companies of troops were left as defenses.
There is no need to worry about security, the total number of the two companies is nearly 300 people, and there is a lot of increased firepower, and when they occupy the commanding heights, there is no other armed force in the city, so it is no problem to stabilize the martial city.
As for those prisoners, they were all imprisoned, and before the army turned back, this group of prisoners in Wucheng still had to be locked up.
It only took two or three hours to arrive at Xuanhua, which was not far away, and they were all riding vehicles, heavy firepower and military trucks, so it was naturally fast.
As the army arrived four or five miles away from Xuanhua, the army began to stand in place, and the brethren of the reconnaissance company began to disperse rapidly.
There was no rotation, and almost half of the brethren of the reconnaissance company were scattered.
In terms of physical fitness, perhaps the brothers of this group of reconnaissance companies are the strongest.
As we all know, scouts are the strongest troops, of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but in later generations, the brothers of scouts are definitely the elite of the elite, belonging to a type of special operations.
But this is really not the case, the vast majority of division-level and army-level units are reconnaissance companies and reconnaissance battalions under the umbrella of special operations units.
It has certain tasks such as capturing prisoners and reconnaissance in depth, but it does not have independent infiltration, psychological warfare, and strong individual combat capabilities.
And these reconnaissance company brothers under Zhao Ming are products in between.
Physical fitness is first-class, not only to participate in heavier training tasks, but also to be proficient in firearms, knife skills, equestrianism, as well as concealment, and even various signal recognition.
Even if it weren't for the fact that the war had already begun, Zhao Ming would have decided to let the brothers of these reconnaissance companies learn radio technology.
If possible, it is hoped that these brothers will learn to decipher the work and some foreign languages.
Especially the Oriental language, before the Anti-Japanese War, Zhao Ming had to let them master it all.
At this point, Zhao Ming can only work hard for himself and give them private lessons.
Regarding the Oriental language, Zhao Ming even thought about letting all the brothers learn the Oriental language basically.
You don't need to be in full control, but you need to master the basic vocabulary and understand the general intentions of the Orientals.
In particular, when captives are captured, they can be tortured while dispersing the battle.
Hai Dongqing began to rise from Zhao Ming's shoulder and galloped away in the direction of Xuanhua.
This bird flies so high that even if it flies at a low altitude, it is not something that ordinary people can shoot, unless it is a marksman.
Like Zhao Ming, the keen insight and dynamic capture ability of the condor shooter will do.
"Master Zhao, depending on the situation, isn't this just a group of turtles? Obediently, how afraid of death is this? ”
At this time, Zhang Kai reluctantly put down the binoculars, his eyes full of helplessness.
At this time, Zhao Ming and Zhang Kai came to Xuanhua with a company of guards to stop and observe.
I saw that a large number of sandbags were piled up on this Xuanhua City.
Some of these sandbags were piled up to form bunkers on the walls, presumably to prevent shelling.
There are also two turrets outside the city, but they are empty.
Zhao Ming also saw that the corners of his mouth twitched, right?
Don't want any turrets? Or is there not enough ammunition for the shells, machine guns, and simply abandon the turrets on the perimeter?
