Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2022 Special Operations!

The Dragon Boat Festival continued to explain, not because he wanted everyone to remember his words immediately.

Of course, it would be great if some of the people in front of him are smart enough to remember it after hearing it once.

Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival briefly talks about the knowledge about special warfare, just to let everyone understand it first.

Because you can imagine that when no one has the concept of special operations in their minds, it would be strange if they could understand some terminology.

The sharpening of the sword and the cutting of firewood. Dragon Boat Festival first briefly explained what special forces are, then gave the soldiers time to think, and then asked them to ask their own questions.

And when everyone's questions are resolved, then he believes that everyone will know what special forces are and what special operations are.

And sure enough, just as Duan Wu said: Now you can ask questions, a recruit couldn't wait to say: "Leader Ye, are special operations really so mysterious? Do we really have the potential to become special forces?"

Duanwu smiled and replied: "Special operations is indeed a mysterious and challenging field. But opportunities are always reserved for those warriors who dare to challenge and surpass themselves. So whether you have this potential will completely depend on you. "

Hearing Duanwu's answer, the recruits' hearts surged instantly.

They seem to have seen their future heroic performance in the field of special operations.

Although they did not fully understand that it was a special operation at this time, it was obvious that their spirits had been aroused by the Dragon Boat Festival.

So another recruit who listened with excitement immediately said: "Leader Ye, how can we qualify to become what you call a special forces soldier?"

Duanwu replied: "Courage, wisdom, and teamwork are all indispensable."

Another soldier asked: "Then if we have all the above, can we become a special forces soldier?"

Duanwu shook his head and said: "This is not enough, you also need to undergo rigorous training. Because a special forces soldier not only needs to have courage, wisdom, and teamwork, but also needs to have a strong body and excellent military skills. "

An older veteran thought for a while and said: "Leader Ye, I heard you say before that as special forces, we often perform very dangerous missions. So I would like to ask, what should we do if we encounter danger while performing missions? ? Will there be support?"

Duanwu nodded and said, "This is a good question."

Then Duanwu paused, and then continued: "In special operations, dangers are everywhere. If there are large corps to cooperate in the operation, there will naturally be reinforcements for us. But in most cases, we do not have reinforcements.

At times like this, our adaptability and survival skills are tested.

In other words, our combat effectiveness is the strongest among the entire army. If there is a dangerous situation that even we cannot cope with, then ordinary soldiers may not be able to cope with it even more.

So once we are in danger, what we need is not to wait for reinforcements, but to think about how to save ourselves. And this is the most severe test you will face after becoming a special forces soldier! "

Hearing this, all the new soldiers and veterans sighed. It would be strange if there was anyone who was not afraid and didn't have some ideas at this moment.

But hearing the words "special forces" really made their blood boil.

So after just a moment of thinking, everyone almost said in unison: "Leader Ye, please train us!"

Duanwu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Then next, I will tell you about special operations in detail, and this time, each of you must keep it firmly in mind."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, while Duanwu was more professional, explaining in detail some details of special operations, as well as the difficulties they would face in the future, etc. And at the same time, Duanwu also explained to everyone the use of artillery, including how to measure distance and so on.

And these are naturally one of the military skills possessed by special forces.

So, one day, two days, and three days passed like this, and the Battle of Wuhan finally started.

On the Japanese side:

In order to quickly occupy the entire territory of China and force the mountain city government to surrender, the Japanese army decided to launch a large-scale attack on Wuhan.

They assembled about 25 elite troops, including the 2nd and 11th Army and other main forces, equipped with a large number of artillery, tanks and aviation, forming a powerful attack force.

The Japanese army focused its offensive on both sides of the Yangtze River, especially the areas south of the Yangtze River, and planned to quickly occupy the three towns of Wuhan through rapid breakthroughs and deep attacks.

Tactically, the Japanese army adopted the tactics of "separate attacks and combined attacks, frontal breakthroughs, and outflanking."

They took advantage of their superior firepower to conduct violent shelling and bombing of our positions, and then the infantry launched a charge under the cover of tanks.

The Japanese army also extensively used chemical weapons such as poison gas bombs, which caused great damage to our army.

In order to quickly break through our army's defense line, the Japanese army used night and bad weather to conduct sneak attacks and infiltrations in an attempt to disrupt our army's deployment.

At the same time, the Japanese army also sent agents and traitors to carry out sabotage and espionage activities in an attempt to destroy our army's rear and supply lines.

From China:

In order to defend Wuhan, the fifth and ninth theaters mobilized about 100 million troops, including multiple group armies and independent divisions. The Chinese Air Force also entered the battle and conducted air strikes and reconnaissance against the Japanese army.

Tactically, the policy of "internal defensive operations" was adopted.

Taking advantage of the favorable terrain of the Dabie Mountains, Poyang Lake and both sides of the Yangtze River, solid fortifications were built and a multi-level defense system was formed. And organized many night counterattacks and raids, effectively combating the arrogance of the Japanese army.

The main force of our army was deployed in key areas and transportation lines outside Wuhan, consuming the Japanese army's strength through layer-by-layer blocking.

At the same time, our army also dispatched small units to conduct guerrilla warfare and raiding warfare to destroy the Japanese army's rear and supply lines.

In the urban area, some buildings and streets were also intensively fortified in preparation for street battles with the Japanese army. Completely dragging the Japanese army into the quagmire of war.

As for the Battle of Wuhan, Duanwu feels that it is still remarkable.

In the nearly year-long battle with the Japanese army, the Chinese army also learned a lot. At least it won't be like the Battle of Songhu, where the Japanese will force them into a panic. Fighting is also remarkable.

Although the Japanese army would eventually occupy Wuhan, our army greatly depleted the Japanese army's effective strength through this battle and broke the Japanese army's strategic attempt to achieve a quick victory.

Therefore, this battle had a huge impact on China's War of Resistance Against Japan and would also become a turning point in China's War of Resistance Against Japan from the strategic defense stage to the strategic stalemate stage.

But this is not enough, the little devil has not paid enough. Dragon Boat Festival wants to kill more Japs, and it is in the lair where the Japs think they are impregnable.

The Japanese he even wanted to fight had to withdraw their troops from the Wuhan battle and disintegrate the battle!
