Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 864 This commander is very good!

"He's not young, is he as old as me? Hahaha!"

Duan Wu sneered, and everyone present was speechless, because indeed, not to mention Director Sun, everyone present was not as big as Duan Wu.

Duan Wu laughed and continued, "Let's get down to business."

At this time, everyone got back to business again, and Commander Yu also ordered someone to carry out the sand table he had just made.

The entire Bengbu area can be seen at a glance, including some of the landforms of Yandang Mountain.

But it is only a small part, mainly Bengbu, Fengyang, Dingyuan, and Mingguang, which are important military areas.

The three defensive positions are in the shape of a character, echoing each other from a distance, and it is a relatively common defensive formation.

Commander Yu knew that Duan Wu was a very impressive commander.Of course, he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he heard that every foot in the Dragon Boat Festival would be victorious, and the devils who killed would cry for their parents and throw away their helmets and armor.

So at this time, he was both asking for advice and testing.

Zhou Weiguo and Qiu Ming on the side also noticed it, but they didn't say anything, because they also wanted to see what the Dragon Boat Festival would do in this battle.

At the same time, Duan Wu looked at the mountain and then at the city with his hands behind his back.

After a while he said: "Other than the defenders in Fengyang, the two brigades that have been transferred should have been transferred from Mingguang and Dingyuan, right?"

Commander Yu replied, "Yes, that's right."

Duan Wu said: "Then the troops here are deployed too much."

After all, Duan Wu pointed at the line between Dingyuan and Mingguang with his fingers.

Commander Yu said puzzledly: "The troops here are already very weak. It can be said that I don't think it is enough. How can there be more?"

Duan Wu said: "The most taboo thing in fighting the Japanese is to fight in a positional battle. Why did we defend ourselves layer by layer from Shanghai to Nanjing, but the result is still that we have more casualties and the devils have fewer casualties? It is these positional battles that are fought against a large number of people. Drain our troops.

Take the Battle of Songhu as an example, we invested 70 people, but what about the devils?But only 20 people.

But it was these 20 people who caused 30 of our army to die in the Songhu area. This battle was so miserable that we almost lost half of our troops.

But why? "

Duan Wu asked back, Commander Yu thought for a while and said: "That's because the Songhu area is flat, the devils not only have air support, but also have heavy artillery bombarding our positions indiscriminately at sea.

Therefore, we can say that the Battle of Songhu ended in a disastrous defeat! "

Speaking of this, Commander Yu sighed, because anyone would regret the battle in Songhu very much.

If it weren't for the battle of Songhu, the Chinese army was injured, how could the little devil be able to fight to Nanjing?
So this battle, in the eyes of every Chinese military officer, is a heart-wrenching pain.

Duan Wu nodded his head and said: "Old Yu is right. We lost in the battle of Songhu and the defense of Nanjing, because the devils have planes, cannons and chariots. What about us? Some troops even have decent air defense There are no weapons or anti-tank weapons, and fighting positional warfare is to pay for human lives.

The veterans are exhausted, and the recruits are filled, but the recruits are not as good as the veterans, so in the end, there are repeated defeats and repeated battles.

Of course, this is a bit far-fetched, but what I want to say is that the defense of Bengbu today is almost the same as the Battle of Songhu and the Defense of Nanjing.

Although there was no naval artillery bombardment, the devil's artillery and air superiority were still there.

In this case, no matter how much troops we put into the front line, we will feel that it is not enough.How many people will die because of a bombing by devils?How many people will die in one bombardment by the devils?

Coupled with the superb shooting skills and tacit cooperation of the devil infantry, if you can win the Northeast Army, the Northeast will not be lost. "

Commander Yu looked embarrassed when he heard this, but immediately sighed again, because it was true, if they really beat the Japanese, then the three northeastern provinces would not be lost.

Commander Yu humbly asked, "Brother Duanwu, how should we fight this battle?"

Duan Wu said: "We still have to fight positional warfare, but how to fight positional warfare is a science. You can ask Lao Qiu about this and see how the Eighth Route Army fights."

The Dragon Boat Festival gave this opportunity to Qiu Ming, because the Northeast Army and the Eighth Route Army will cooperate next time. If the Northeast Army looks down on the Eighth Route Army, then this cooperation will probably be separate.

He couldn't let such a thing happen, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense for him to bring Qiu Ming here.

Of course, Qiu Ming was only part of the Dragon Boat Festival plan. What the Dragon Boat Festival wanted was for the 115th Division to also come out to cooperate with the Northeast Army, no, it was to cooperate with the entire fifth theater to fight devils.

In other words, the purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival is to kill devils, and it is to gather all the forces.

So this kind of good opportunity to bring the Northeast Army and the Eighth Route Army closer will naturally be reserved for Qiu Ming.

And Qiu Ming didn't hide it, and told the tactics of the Eighth Route Army to fight devils.

Qiu Ming said: "The devil's firepower is superior to ours, and we will definitely suffer from a head-on confrontation. Therefore, in actual combat, we have explored a set of tactics to engage the devil head-on when we have no heavy firepower and insufficient shooting skills.

The devil's artillery fire was fierce, so we dug trenches and reduced the number of people on the ground, so that most of the devil's artillery fire was emptied.

And when the devils charged, we were not in a hurry to shoot, but put the devils closer before we hit.

We have also done calculations on this point.Due to the long-term lack of ammunition in our army, it is impossible to train like devils.In addition, the weapons used are all old sleeves with smooth rifling, so how can they compete with devils?
What's more, many soldiers of our Eighth Route Army don't have guns at all, and it's impossible to fight the devils in a regular positional battle.

So we have only one way to do it, which is to put the devils within 50 meters before shooting. At this distance, let alone veterans, as long as recruits can shoot, their hit rate is very high. "

"50 meters, this devil rushed up in a few seconds?"

Commander Yu was a little surprised, because at a distance of 50 meters, the devil rushed to the position with a charge.

Qiu Ming said with a smile: "When the devils rush up, we will fight hand-to-hand with the devils, and this is why we always keep the reserve team. Every time we fight, we will not put many people on our positions, and the large troops will hide In the back, once the devils charge, our reserve team will quickly enter the position, waiting to fight hand-to-hand with the devils.

Of course, the little devil is still very good at fighting bayonets, so two of us beat one devil, or even three, four of us beat one devil. "

"I see!"

Commander Yu suddenly realized, and nodded frequently, obviously he had approved of this tactic.

At this time, Duan Wu added: "It's not enough to refer to these alone. We need intelligence, our enemy's intelligence. Take today as an example, the reinforcements of the 150th Regiment are close at hand, and we don't even know it.

Prior to this, we all obtained information on the movements of the Japanese army by intercepting the Japanese army's telegrams.

But through today's battle, I found out that it may not work to judge the devil's movements by intercepting the Japanese army's telegrams in the future. The little devil has changed the secret code.

So today is very thrilling. If we move a little slower, I am afraid that it is not that we surrounded and wiped out the 150th Japanese regiment, but that we were surrounded by devils in the Yandang Mountain area. "

At this time Zhou Weiguo also said: "Yes, we don't know anything about our enemies. Make the next battle plan!."
