Chapter 465 Learning Guerrilla (2)

It's no wonder that all those sitting in this classroom are colonels and lieutenant colonels from Qing Yishui, and they are basically from the regular main force. The battles they command have seen are all big battles, and now they are squatting under the desk listening to a Balu gave lectures, and it was inevitable that he would not be convinced.

The previous instructor Li Tao used the example of crossing Chishui four times in the past. Now this Central Army officer is talking about the Red Army’s Long March.

Li Tao listened to the officer below, but did not refute. Such voices of doubt appeared repeatedly in the previous two issues, and an effective method has been formed to deal with such voices of doubt: military exercises.

At that moment, Li Tao put down the book in his hand. As a member of the Red Party, he believes that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth".

"When the first two batches of students came here, we carried out a field military exercise that was similar to actual combat. The same is true for you. As the old saying goes, no matter how much you talk about it, seeing is believing. Tomorrow morning, we will conduct an expected two-year In the day-to-night rehearsal, you and other students will be divided into Team A and Team B."

"Team A acts as the "imaginary enemy". If you are not convinced, you can join Team A. Then we will speak on our own merits!"

Li Tao's voice was full of arrogance, and he knew that in order to be recognized by the following high-minded and arrogant national army commanders, he had to let them personally experience in military operations so as to subdue their arrogance.

Not everyone has the right to choose independently. Only regiment-level cadres can independently choose AB and AB teams, and battalion-level officers are subject to random allocation.

With an attitude of learning, Li Chong signed up for team B. Among the six people who slept together, except for Li Yinqing who signed up for team B, the other four joined team A.

Get up at 05:30 in the morning of the second day. After a quick wash, you don’t need to go out for exercises. Everyone goes directly to the practice field. People from the left and right teams of AB stand together.

Li Chong visually inspected the personnel, and the two teams AB and AB split seven to three.

Li Moan, commander of the 33rd Army Group, who served as the head of education of the Yougan Class, stood on the stage with a loudspeaker. In addition to the usual speech before the confrontation drill, he mainly instilled a cognition to the officers and soldiers below: from this moment until the graduation and leave here , all officers are defaulted as private soldiers, there is no regiment commander, battalion commander, or company commander, whoever disobeys orders during military exercises will also be punished!
Through the speech of the superintendent of education, Li Chong learned that the entire exercise area was connected from Hengshan here to Huxiang Pass at the junction of Xiangtan, and the area was very vast.

The Academic Affairs Office of Youganban simulated a small battle for the two teams A and B. As the imaginary enemy, Team A was ordered to set off from Hengshan one day in advance. In Zhuting Town, more than 100 kilometers away, they wanted to cross the bridge with the help of the natural danger of Xiangjiang River. Team B, for team B, this is just the first natural obstacle.

Team B received the task to break through the obstacles of team A and reach Huxiang Pass.

Considering that the combined forces of the two teams are only in their early thirties, they cannot support a large-scale exercise, especially since Team B has to divide troops and set up checkpoints along the road. In the Liao area, the two teams were pre-delineated with a narrow and long width on both sides centered on the approximate main route. Team B must not exceed this width during the march, otherwise it will be counted as failure.

At the same time, Team A can mobilize garrison troops along the way to participate in the exercise. The number of troops recruited is eight times that of Team B. The bullets used in the exercise are all blank bullets, and those who are hit must leave the field immediately.

For both sides of the exercise, there are both marching and fighting, as well as guarding the city. With the previous two guerrilla exercises as a reference, the rules and regulations of the third exercise are more perfect.At the beginning of the design of these rules, it has been considered that the fighting will not be carried out within the restricted rules, so only reasonable restrictions have been made on the area along the way of the exercise.

After all, there is a vast area between Hengshan and Huxiang Pass, so one can't stand guard on the left and the other run on the right, and the two sides can't collide with each other.

The purpose of the exercise remains the same, which is to let the officers of the national army who have just arrived have a personal experience and perception of guerrilla tactics.

One day later, after Team A arrived at Zhuting Town and deployed their defenses, Team B led by Li Tao set off.

When Team B set off, the Education Department of Youganban sent a telegram to Team A, which was already in the first line of interception in Zhuting Town and everywhere thereafter, informing them that the exercise had officially started.

According to the estimation of the commander of Team A, according to the rapid marching speed of 15 kilometers per hour, it should take at least six hours to cover [-] kilometers. They set off at [-] o'clock in the morning, and they will not arrive until noon.

The result was beyond the expectation of Team A in Zhuting Town. In just three hours, more than 400 people from Team B arrived here.

Due to the unexpected marching speed and Li Tao's flexible use of guerrilla tactics as the commander-in-chief of the B team, he broke through three blockade lines in one night at three o'clock in the afternoon.
After two days and one night of the official start of the exercise, everyone returned to Hengshan.

After reviewing the whole process, Team A's performance was quite satisfactory, especially when they broke through the bridge guarded by Team A outside Zhuting Town, Li Chong thought to himself that there was a shadow of the Red Army's Dadu River and Lugou Bridge in it.

After returning to Hengshan, in the next class, all the officers no longer held their necks proudly and pretended that I looked down on you.

In the first class after the exercise, Li Tao wrote down the words "March".

"Guerrilla warfare first pays attention to the speed of marching. As long as you can make the Japanese unable to correctly estimate your journey, you can make the devil suffer. In many terrains, especially in rugged mountain valleys, we don't even have jeep trucks, except for a few horses. , the vast majority of officers and soldiers rely on one foot to fight and attack."

"This exercise must have touched everyone. Why did Team B's marching speed far exceed Team A's expectations? After the exercise, some students from Team A must have asked people from Team B to find out. , We organize three people into a group, a stretcher for each group, two people carry one person to sleep, shifts, and repeat, in this way, we can always maintain a fast marching speed."

Li Tao's words made some people in Team A who were puzzled by the mystery of Team B's marching so fast suddenly realize that this method was no longer a secret to Li Chong, but it was the first time for many of the national army officers present to hear about it.

In many classes to come, when the instructors of the Red Party talked about some theoretical knowledge, the officers of the national army below would take the initiative to bring this guerrilla knowledge to the previous exercises, and slowly began to accept this knowledge. A set of tactical ideas that are quite new to them.

Not long after the exercise and the beginning of study, a major event happened outside the mountain: the Great Battle of Southern Guangxi, which was related to the life and death of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway, broke out.

The military officers who came to Hengshan were learning new knowledge while discussing the battle for land transportation rights that broke out in Nanning, Guangxi and other places.

Since it is on the border of Guangxi, Bai Chongxi, director of the Guilin camp, will be the commander-in-chief of this great battle. The chairman of the committee attaches great importance to this battle. After all, it is related to the last international transportation line in the Southwest, so he specially sent the director of the Political Department Chen Cheng went to help.

It is precisely because this battle is related to the main channel of the last road of the Southwest Nationalist Government's external traffic, so after the outbreak of this battle, it immediately attracted the attention of the world.
