Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 144 Post-war Summary Meeting

358 regiment

"Tuan Zuo, according to the latest news, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese troops of Qinyuan, Tunliu, and the eldest son after the battle at the Ducun stronghold. Among them, a dissatisfied brigade of the Japanese army in Tunliu was wiped out by the New Second Regiment. Jiakou, the other two roads also severely damaged the Japanese army, and captured a lot!" The chief of staff of the 358 regiment said solemnly.

"Tuan Zuo, the Eighth Route Army is really not to be underestimated. In just a few years, it has grown from more than [-] people at the beginning to its current scale. No wonder Chief Yan and Chairman Jiang regard it as a serious problem! I am very curious How did the Eighth Route Army develop?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head after hearing this, and said with emotion: "Brother Li Gong, you only saw the surface. This trip to the Eighth Route Army really opened my eyes. The Eighth Route Army has been making progress, but our army has stopped. "

"The weapons and equipment of the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army may not be as good as that of our army, but the quality of personnel and mental outlook of our army are far behind. Even the innovation of tactics has lagged behind the Eighth Route Army. What did the regiment see?"

Fang Ligong was taken aback for a moment. He really couldn't think of anything else that could surprise Chu Yunfei, a general from the Whampoa Military Academy, so much?

"The Eighth Route Army actually formed an elite small unit similar to the Yamamoto Special Forces. After the World War II zone commander's headquarters was attacked, our army was emphasizing on strengthening the guard work, but the Eighth Route Army was ahead of us. What does this mean? ?” Chu Yunfei smiled contemptuously.

"It shows that not only the troops of the Eighth Route Army are developing extremely fast, but also a group of generals like Zhou Weihan with high tactical literacy and strategic vision. Hehe, if things go on like this, what do we have to fight against the Eighth Route Army?"

Fang Ligong has been silent for a long time. As a serious Shanxi military and political school, he has a lot of experience in the army for many years, but he is still the chief of staff, and his rank is only lieutenant colonel.

But thinking about Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong was also relieved, he had seen too many dogs in the army.

"Tuan Zuo, there is one thing that I find very strange. The Japanese army who fought against the supplementary battalion of the New Second Regiment actually saved most of their strength and returned to Anze County. It stands to reason that the New Second Regiment should have more strength when they easily wiped out the remaining Japanese troops. According to the past habits of the Eighth Route Army, we should not give up such an excellent opportunity to fight back against Anze's Japanese army!" Fang Ligong said doubtfully.

"Hmph, brother Ligong, you haven't seen Zhou Weihan before. He's a guy who doesn't follow the rules. He's trying to trip up our 358 regiment. He doesn't want us to live too comfortably!" Chu Yunfei sneered, raised his eyebrows, squinted at Fang Ligong and said.

"Then the weapons and equipment promised to Zhou Weihan will still be honored? Shangfeng is very strict about this kind of thing!" Fang Ligong said worriedly.

"Of course I have to. I, Chu Yunfei, am not a person who doesn't believe what I say. Besides, everyone in the observation group knows that the Eighth Route Army sent someone to help us get rid of our confidant's troubles. We are just giving some equipment. This kind of benefit is not worth it. Fei's matter, even if it comes to Officer Yan, it still makes sense!"

"Where is Qian Bojun's first battalion now?" Chu Yunfei asked.

"The First Battalion has entered the Shijiazuo area according to the order of the regiment headquarters!"

"Very well, Shijiazuo is a strategically important place. It can intimidate the Japanese army when it advances, join the regiment headquarters when it retreats, and block a road for the Eighth Route Army to go south. Maybe it will come in handy at any time!" Chu Yunfei said playfully. .

On the surface, Zhou Weihan is the first grader, and Chu Yunfei is the fifteenth grader. In fact, the two have a tacit understanding. After all, although the two sides are fighting against Japan hand in hand, neither Yan Xishan nor Principal Chang are very careful.

Especially Principal Chang, the domestic and international situation forced him to unite with the Communist Party to fight against Japan, but he never stopped thinking of suppressing the Communist Party in his heart.It's not good for Chu Yunfei to show too close, otherwise according to the practice of killing one thousand by mistake than letting go of eight hundred, even if Chu Yunfei was born in Huangpu, he would have to get a gun sooner or later.

New Second Regiment, Chenjiayu.

Zhou Weihan held a special combat summary meeting for this combat operation. This is a fine tradition of the Eighth Route Army, and the New Second Regiment is no exception.

"Let's talk about it all, starting from the first battalion!" Zhou Weihan sat at one end and glanced at everyone present.

"Regimental Commander, in this battle, the soldiers of our [-]st Battalion were injured five people when they bayoneted the little devil." Jing Dagang first talked about the casualties of the [-]st Battalion.

"Our first battalion can be said to have picked up a bargain this time. In the past, we only knew how to use the terrain advantage to ambush the enemy from a high position.

But judging from this battle, the tactics can be further deepened. The power of burying the little devil this time is really too great. The little devil basically has no room to resist. Maybe he can use water attack and fire attack in the future. "Jing Dagang said thoughtfully.

Zhou Weihan nodded and looked at Wang Yigong and Gao Zhiheng.

"Regimental Commander, in this battle of Shidu Town, the battle went smoothly when the companies attacked the city gate, but after entering the city, the formation of the troops was disrupted, and the street fighting experience was inexperienced. Fortunately, the enemy was even more chaotic." Wang Yigong said.

Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this. Gao Yigong was telling the truth. At this time, our country's army is generally lacking in street fighting.

Street fighting is not only difficult to fight, but also a meat grinder in war, with a high casualty rate.Therefore, no army likes street fighting.The most famous street battles in World War II included the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Moscow.In the Battle of Stalingrad, the Soviets and the Germans fought in the dark on the streets of the city
Street fighting, also known as "urban warfare".As the name suggests, it is a battle in the suburban streets and alleys of the city, from house to house.Both sides are engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the chances of the enemy and the enemy being mixed together and hand-to-hand combat are very high, and the danger is extremely strong.

The fighting in the streets, all kinds of winding streets, complex landforms, and enemies hidden in the dark make the street fighting full of unpredictable factors.Once the short soldiers come into contact, the rear artillery coverage and aircraft bombing cover have lost their meaning. Once the observer reports the coordinates to the artillery position, the slightest deviation in the artillery's shooting elements will cause great accidental injury.

Zhou Weihan also has no experience in street fighting, excluding weapons and equipment, street fighting tests the ability of grassroots commanders to respond to emergencies and the cooperation between soldiers.

"Regimental Commander, there are many problems in this battle, such as the problem of coordinated infantry and artillery operations. The infantry rushed into the city in a swarm, but the follow-up artillery did not keep up. Soldiers can only rely on their bodies to blow up the enemy's firepower.

Also, after entering the city, the battle was too scattered, and we could only listen to the gunshots to tell where support was needed. Basically, the squad was the unit, and it was a test of the squad leader's commanding ability.

Even among the dozen or so soldiers who fought together, there were soldiers from three different companies. "Wang Yigong spoke in a mess, but Zhou Weihan understood.

To put it bluntly, it is a question of the organization and cohesion of an army, and the difference is a kind of stickiness unique to the Eighth Route Army.

In Zhou Weihan's opinion, if this battle is fought by a battalion, at least there will be no situation where soldiers cannot find generals and generals will not deploy troops.

Zhou Weihan has no good way to do this, he can only let the soldiers get to know each other more, and when the battle starts, there are many situations that disrupt the establishment.

Fortunately, according to the situation of the Eighth Route Army, street fighting is not the mainstream, and most of them are field battles.

Then several company commanders of the supplementary battalion made a summary.

The supplementary battalion suffered more than 150 casualties in this battle. Thanks to Dong Jiang's timely support with the reconnaissance company and the guard company, greater casualties were avoided.

"You guys don't need to be downcast. The soldiers fought very tenaciously and bravely. After all, you are facing more than 500 well-trained and well-equipped Japanese troops. With the same force, it is already very good to be able to complete the blocking mission. Already!" Zhou Weihan encouraged.
