Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1286 Decoy
Originally, Li Qiwei didn't believe Derek's words, but after Derek sent him the training process of the Eighth Route Army's airborne troops, Li Qiwei had no choice but to believe it.

Holding the information in his hand, Li Qiwei said to himself: "The commander's quality has been improved in an all-round way, the equipment has been fully optimized, the soldiers have been trained in a targeted manner, and the air-ground coordination has been strengthened... It's unbelievable that this is actually a team. The airborne troops formed by the Eighth Route Army of China that don’t even have transport planes! How do they know this?”

It’s no wonder that Li Qiwei was surprised by this. The Eighth Route Army’s airborne troops also started from scratch. It should be said that they are far behind Ying Jiang, because before that, Ying Jiang had at least transport planes and parachutes, as well as a lot of skydiving experience accumulated by the people. .

But the Eighth Route Army had nothing. Before Yingjiang gave 50 C47s, they didn't even know what a transport plane was.

However, now the Eighth Route Army has achieved surpassing in one fell swoop, and the surpassing is not a star... Li Qiwei thinks that compared with the airborne regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the 82nd Airborne Division of Yingjiang is a mob, and it is a force that is not suitable for the battlefield. To go into battle is, as Captain Derek said, almost to die.

Li Qiwei's face was cloudy, and then he handed the information to the staff and ordered coldly: "According to the content of the information, immediately formulate a training plan!"

"But the general!" said the staff officer, "We are only one month away from the battle!"

The chief of staff worried that a month's worth of hasty changes to the training schedule would overwhelm soldiers.

"Yes!" Li Qiwei replied: "It is precisely because the battle is only one month away that we need to change!"

Li Qiwei's view is different from that of the staff.

Li Qiwei knew that the Eighth Route Army's training plan was formulated for actual combat, while his previous training plan was based on imagination and compromise with all officers and soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division.

This is somewhat difficult to understand, but it is true.

For example, the incident of General Patton slapping a soldier was originally not a big deal. After all, the soldier Patton slapped was lying in the hospital without any injuries. Suffering from "combat fatigue".

If this is placed in the Chinese army, I'm afraid I have never heard of "combat fatigue".

But this matter can directly affect General Patton's official career.

This is mainly because at this time, Yingjiang has not realized how cruel the war is from top to bottom, even though Yingjiang has already fought fiercely with devils on the Pacific battlefield... Yingchan's casualties on the Pacific battlefield are more The casualties of the pilots and the army's landing operations on the island were not large.

Because they did not realize the cruel reality of war, the whole army is still in a relatively relaxed atmosphere in training, thinking that it is almost enough, and the worst is to use shells and bombs to pile up.

In this atmosphere, Li Qiwei certainly cannot and cannot set the training intensity too high, otherwise it will be considered a kind of "abuse" and "oppression".

Even Li Qiwei himself thinks so:

At that time, there will be a large number of warships in Yingjiang, as well as fighter jets, bombers, and army landings. They will be the decisive force on the battlefield.

As for the airborne troops, they are only airborne to the enemy's rear to harass the enemy.

Until then, when he saw the training process of the Eighth Route Army, Li Qiwei suddenly understood one thing: the training method of the Eighth Route Army is used for actual combat, or that is what war should look like.

"So..." Li Qiwei said: "It is reasonable to increase the training intensity, because that is precisely a manifestation of being responsible to the soldiers. If anyone objects, he can immediately withdraw from the 82nd Airborne Division!"

After that, Li Qiwei did exactly the same, and withstood the pressure from all sides.

Outsiders have no way of understanding the difficulties involved. At this time, the 82nd Airborne Division is even arguing internally. The focus is whether parachuting is more dangerous or airborne is more dangerous. Therefore, it should be two parachute regiments and one airborne The regiment is still two airborne regiments and one parachute regiment.

Li Qiwei has been thinking about this issue before, but now he has firmly chosen two parachute regiments... because the actual conditions of the battlefield are that there will not be so much space for parachute landing, if too many parachute regiments are set up, it will be very difficult Probably nothing can be done.

After carrying out a series of reforms in training, Li Qiwei was still worried. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to send his worries to Huaxia.

The question was posed to Wang Xuexin by Captain Derek.

This day, Wang Xuexin was looking at the information on the Datong frontline war.

The battle in Datong was smoother than expected, and the Eighth Route Army had advanced [-] kilometers south during this period.

Don't underestimate the 120 kilometers. Starting from Datong, it is only [-] kilometers to Yanmen Pass, which is known as "the first pass in China".

In other words, the Eighth Route Army can capture Yanmen Pass as long as it continues southward for about [-] kilometers. If the Eighth Route Army occupies this dangerous place, it can compress most of the devils' forces to the south of Yanmen Pass and cannot move.

This gave Wang Xuexin a great temptation.

Because the capture of Yanmen Pass can save the Eighth Route Army from most of the pressure from the south, and then capture Zhangjiakou and take down Dajingmen, one of the "Four Great Passes"...

The Eighth Route Army was "working" in the Datong area, that is to say, it formed a situation where it could advance, attack, retreat, or defend.

But Wang Xuexin finally forcibly suppressed this temptation.

Because the devil's attack style at this time is more like "luting the enemy to go deep"... Wang Xuexin originally only planned to drive [-] to [-] kilometers south to open a buffer zone for the railway line, but he didn't expect to hit [-] kilometers in one shot. The result exceeded expectations by more than double.

What Wang Xuexin learned from the front line is:
"During this period of time, I feel that the devils are fighting a lot better, maybe they are afraid of being beaten by our army!"

"A large number of puppet troops surrendered, and our army is like a broken bamboo!"

"The devils abandoned the line of defense, and our army won with minimal casualties!"

……

Most people believe that the Eighth Route Army should take advantage of the victory and pursue it at this time, including Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Ding Wei believed that this was due to the lack of troops in the devil's rear, and he did not expect that the Eighth Route Army had mechanized troops, so it could not resist our army's tactics of combining frontal combat with side-to-back penetration.

Kong Jie believes that this is the power of the bursting rifle, and the victory of the Eighth Route Army has shaken the foundation of the devils, causing the puppet army to fall to the Eighth Route Army in a collapsed manner, resulting in the collapse of the devils' defense line.

The analysis of the two leaders makes sense.

But Wang Xuexin believed that the devils hadn't reached the point of collapse at this time. This should be a trap set by the devils, and the bait was Yanmen Pass not far ahead.

Just when Wang Xuexin was thinking about this question, Derek came.

"Comrade Commander!" Captain Derek said, "I have a problem. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
