Chapter 466 The Difference Between the Chinese and Japanese Armies (Ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!)

The battlefield is not a football game!

If the game is not played well, if players cannot be replaced, the head coach can be replaced.

If the change is good, changing people is like changing a knife, the effect is immediate, and if the change is not good, it will slide into the abyss faster.

But changing generals on the battlefield is a big taboo, not to mention that the Japanese army is changing generals out of the need for someone to take the blame.

Knowing that the captain of his regiment had lost his command, the frontline Japanese commanders at all levels were naturally shocked and angry.

Not to mention the problem of standing in line in daily life, you can say that human beings are cold and beneficial creatures, or they are emotional animals. After getting along for a long time, I don’t want to say how strong their emotions are, but at least they know how to behave if they are more or less familiar with their temperament. Naturally, he would be upset if he suddenly changed to the brigade chief of staff who was far away from them, the majors and lieutenants, to give orders.

More importantly, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, the boss fell, and the battle situation has not been smooth. After the war, will the score be settled in the fall?This is a question that officers at all levels of the 45th Infantry Regiment have to think about in advance.

With more thoughts, it is natural that you will not work so hard on the battlefield.

On the side of the Chinese defense line, it is because of the continuous addition of fresh troops, especially in the Sixing Battalion, which defeated the Japanese flank attacking troops in hand-to-hand combat, and blasted the heart-wrenching hills into smoke with a single cannon. Afterwards, morale was boosted.

The situation was completely stabilized, and the four infantry squadrons that the Japanese army put into the front line also temporarily retreated under the constant sound of sirens one after another on the battlefield.

As soon as the Japanese army retreated, the stingy major, who had been fighting side by side with the officers and soldiers on the front line with a gun in his hand, lay down directly after explaining the security matters.

It's not that I'm injured, it's that I'm tired from life.

However, whether it was his two company commanders or Lei Xiong and Gong Shaoxun who came to look for him in the dark, no one underestimated him.

Only those who have been commanders know the pressure on this army major who collapsed in the trenches after a battle.

Compared with ordinary officers and soldiers, what he bears on his shoulders is not only the life and death of an individual, or even the life and death of thousands of people here, but the lives of more than 3000 people in the entire advance regiment.

If the 36th Infantry Brigade were allowed to break through here and attack the rather tenacious 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade back and forth, no matter how clever Tang Dao was, the advance regiment would be wiped out.

Everyone was shocked by Tang Dao's shocking plan several days in advance, but in fact, the blocking position here is the most important part of completing this shocking plan.

Fortunately, Major Stingy and Major Scar who died in battle did not live up to Tang Dao's expectations, they did.

However, for Major Stingy, the current top commander on the defense line, in the past two hours, facing thousands of Japanese invaders who have almost never stopped attacking, this is for a commander who has to shoulder such a heavy responsibility and go to the front line to fight It is definitely a double test of spiritual will and physicality.

He can't even die easily.

Moreover, as the battalion commander of the guard battalion, the stingy major seldom left the division headquarters, and basically obeyed the division commander's direct command, and rarely acted alone like this.

Especially after the heroic death of Scar Lao Zhao, who was obviously stronger than his comrades, the life and death of the two guard battalions and the fire support company supported by the guard battalion all fell on the restrained army major.

Lei Xiong looked at his colleague who was gasping for breath, his defiant eyes were full of respect.

Although he doesn't look down on the "miscellaneous fish" like the 67th Army and the 43rd Army like many officers of the Central Army, Lei Xiong is definitely proud. His pride comes from his equipment, his strength, and even more from himself and his brothers on the battlefield. Performance.

Proud as Lei Xiong seldom looked at someone with such respect. Even Colonel Xie Jinyuan, before he showed his unparalleled fighting spirit and military talent on the Songhu battlefield, he was only a courtesy among his colleagues.

But Lei Xiong left his respect to the Major of the 107th Division Guard Battalion in front of him.

What he respected was not that the stingy major completed the combat mission.

The combat mission assigned by Tang Dao to the Ministry was actually completed half an hour ago, when the defense line of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade was opened and the cavalry rushed into the position of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade.

If the stingy major is ruthless enough, he can use the trick of 'the strong man cuts his wrist' at the moment when the hill falls.

Leave one to stop the enemy, the main force discards all heavy equipment, even the seriously wounded, and only carries light equipment to move closer to the main force led by Tang Dao, even if the remaining one can only stop the Japanese army for 10 minutes, he There is also more than 70.00% chance of surviving.

This move, for many commanders, is already familiar with it, and it is crowned with the rhetoric of "exchanging a small amount of sacrifice for the survival of the main force, so as to create another victory in the future!".

As long as the main force is not damaged too much, the commander who uses this trick will not be punished, and may even gain the reputation of the iron-blooded army.

yes!Abandoning the few and keeping the majority, on the surface, sounds like an extremely wise decision by the commander. Behind the small cruelty is the real great wisdom.

However, who would pay attention to those officers and soldiers who were left behind because of military orders and so-called righteousness?They died in battle, and the title they earned was nothing more than the title of 'abandoned son'. On the contrary, most people would remember the commander who made the cold-blooded move, and would praise their decision.

It's just that these are not within Lei Xiong's values. If he is unruly and unruly, why he is willing to be under Tang Dao, a rocket-like alien, is not because of how radiant Tang Dao is on the battlefield, but because Tang Dao The spiritual core of "don't abandon, don't give up" that Dao has shown countless times.

Tang Dao may not be the best commander, but he can definitely become the most trustworthy brother, so Lei Xiong is willing to pay with his life and the lives of all the brothers under his command, that's all.

And the major of the guard battalion, who was paralyzed on the ground, was the kind of person Lei Xiong admired the most. He chose to let some people retreat, but it was not the so-called "strong men cut off their wrists", but the part that made the main force cover weaker. Those who retreated were the wounded, the medical team, and the recruits.

"Don't disturb me, let me take a few breaths!" The guard battalion commander, who closed his eyes and was rarely at peace, was a little upset when someone patted him on the shoulder and called him.

Opening his eyes, he saw that they were two old acquaintances.

"Brother Lei, brother Gong, thank you for coming to help, otherwise." The stingy major saw Lei Xiong and Gong Shaoxun, and hurriedly struggled to sit up.

"Relax and rest, Brother Zhou and the brothers have worked hard, come on, smoke a cigarette!" Lei Xiong stretched out his hand, but he didn't let the stingy major stand up to greet him, and he sat down on his buttocks while handing him a cigarette. Beside him, he said carelessly: "Don't say it, running all the way here, it can be regarded as not tired of splitting for me, so I have to take a break!"

Gong Shaoxun is a smart man. When he saw Lei Xiong like this, he knew that he was taking care of the exhausted stingy old Zhou. What's more, this was a battlefield, and the trenches were not deep enough. Standing bent over was much harder than sitting. , Smiling slightly at the moment, regardless of the image of the major cavalry battalion commander, sitting with two army majors in a trench full of blood and mud.

"You two are here, I can finally relax a bit!" Seeing the two colleagues like this, Major Stingy's eyes flashed with gratitude, but his face also relaxed a lot. "Commander Lei, what military orders did you bring to Commander Tang? My old Zhou and my brothers obeyed all orders. Even if Lao Zhao is gone, I will help the two of his subordinates make decisions for them."

This means giving up command.

Although Lei Xiong is a major with the same rank as him, everyone knows that Lei Xiong is Tang Dao's most trusted deputy. As long as Tang Dao is not around, Lei Xiong will take over the supreme command, and Lei Xiong also has a very strong command Ability, the majors are also very convinced of it.

Since Lei Xiong came here, it is only natural that he is the number one commander.

But unexpectedly, Lei Xiong grinned, with a smile on his rough black face, "I left in a hurry, the battalion commander didn't give me any orders, but just told me and Battalion Commander Gong, Zhao and Zhou two The commander is more familiar with the arrangement of blocking positions, let us obey the orders of the two of you."

Looking sideways at Gong Shaoxun, "Brother Gong, did the battalion commander say that?"

Gong Shaoxun really wanted to punch Lei Xiong in the face who seemed to be smiling brightly but was actually a thief. If the battalion commanders Zhao and Zhou offer their assistance, then Lei Xiong, you will be the first commander of the position until I arrive with the army!"

After all, Tang Dao is still a little worried about the commanding ability of the two guard battalion commanders. After all, they are not the chief officers of the front-line field troops. They rarely have the experience of confronting the Japanese army with trench fortifications. The major who was born as an infantry company commander is naturally more experienced than the two of them.

But Gong Shaoxun wisely didn't do that. Firstly, he knew that Lei Xiong was using this method to pay tribute to the entire army of the two guard battalions;

In the past, he only heard that Major Lei Xiong was the champion of the three armies, and the whole army had only one man, but it was the first time he had witnessed the demeanor of the deputy of Lei Daying in the hand-to-hand battle between the Four Lines Battalion and the flanking Japanese army.

One person killed four Japanese infantrymen alone, so that no one dared to confront him when the entire Japanese army retreated. Even Gong Shaoxun, who had killed five Japanese cavalrymen with his own hands, felt chills running down his spine.

He wasn't even sure if he was qualified to fight with this guy when he was riding a war horse, and he probably lost most of them.

Naturally, he could only nod his head and agree with Lei Xiong, who was passing on the false military order: "That's right, Battalion Commander Zhao died for the country. Battalion Commander Zhou, you are the highest commander here, and Battalion Commander Lei and I are under your command!"

"Mr. Tang really said that?" Stingy old Zhou's eyes burst into excitement, and he was so excited.

He wasn't excited because he had command power, but rather, it was recognition, recognition of the commanding abilities of the two of them, and recognition of the combat effectiveness of the two guard battalions.

Lei Xiong and Gong Shaoxun, one is a major of the Central Army, and the other is the commander of a cavalry battalion directly under the military headquarters. In terms of qualifications and abilities, they both surpass him.

Letting the two of them accept his command is Tang Dao's greatest compliment to their two guard battalions.

This is the most stark contrast between the Chinese and Japanese armies at this moment.

The supreme commander of one party was deprived of command power, but the other party gave in in good faith.

Although there is still a huge gap in military strength, the Japanese army no longer has the advantage that it could crush as before.
