Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 215 The Military Teaching Team Begins Classes

Under Zhou Weihan's order, the heads of each regiment and some of their subordinate battalion commanders and company commanders, as the first batch of students of the military teaching team, quickly assembled in Yanwang Mountain.

In a hut in Yanwang Mountain, the military teaching team has already started classes.

Zhou Weihan stood on the podium with his back to a simple blackboard, looking around at the number [-] people sitting upright at the bottom of the stage.

"Some of you here are already team leaders, and the rest are the backbone of the detachment. Otherwise, you would not be allowed to come here as the first batch of students, and you would come to me to listen to my lectures. Do you feel a little Are you impatient?" Zhou Weihan said solemnly.

As soon as Zhou Weihan finished speaking, everyone below smiled, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

"Detachment Captain, you are a graduate of Yanda University and have studied in the 29th Army Corps. You are more than enough to teach us!" Wu Qin is Zhou Weihan's junior at Yanda University. And now the independent detachment knows Zhou Weihan well.

With a stern face, Zhou Weihan broke a piece of chalk, threw it over, and cursed at the same time: "You're the only one who talks too much, stand up and listen to me!"

"Yes!" Wu Qinteng stood up suddenly, very much in line with Zhou Weihan's murderous behavior.

"The course of our teaching team lasts for eight days. It is said that I will teach the class. In fact, everyone has been in the army for a long time, and has experienced a lot of big battles and small battles. This is a process of integrating your experience. This process is not me. One person speaks, but every now and then you all have representatives to speak about your experience in leading troops and commanding!" Zhou Weihan said, pointing to Jing Dagang and the others.

Jing Dagang had a bitter look on his face, and it was okay to ask him to lead troops to fight, but it was a bit embarrassing to speak on stage.

"Wang Yigong, Zhang Hao, you two have a regiment commander and a battalion commander. They both graduated from Whampoa. The positional warfare of the national army is still remarkable!"

"Today, I will say a word, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. This sentence means that if you have a thorough understanding of your own situation and the enemy's situation, you will not fail in battle. This sentence comes from "Sun Tzu's Art of War·Conspiracy", Applicable to all wars, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and will never be out of date!"

"Knowledge is the premise and foundation of war. If you don't understand the enemy's situation and fight in a daze, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory. You didn't give full play to your own advantages and attacked the enemy's disadvantages!"

"Knowledge requires 'full knowledge' and 'detailed knowledge'"

"In a narrow sense, "knowing the enemy and knowing yourself" includes knowing our army and knowing the enemy's army."

"But in a broad sense, it should include all information related to war, such as enemy and our troops, astronomical and weather conditions, natural terrain conditions, brother troops and reinforcements, etc."

"Knowing the enemy's situation is the first priority, but mastering other situations is also indispensable.

For example, the enemy's number, strength, and weaponry. If the enemy has deployed defenses, it is necessary to know the enemy's firepower.

You must know the habits and style of the enemy's generals, so that you can make overall plans and wait for opportunities to weaken the enemy's internal forces. "

"Secondly, understand the situation on your own side. Simply put, you know what your strengths are, where your weaknesses are, which company you own is suitable for sharp knives, and which company is suitable for blocking warfare.

Understand the combat style of your subordinates, know people and make good use of them, and put him in the right place. There are so many companies under our independent detachment, it is impossible for every company commander to have the same combat style! "

"Take the formation of the commando team by one regiment this time as an example. Why did I let Xin Tiebing serve as the commando captain, because I saw it when he was the company commander when the three regiments competed a long time ago. At that time, the two companies When fighting with bayonets, Xin Tiebing is not only ruthless, but also good at discovering the opponent's weakness, and reacts quickly, leading his men to face the opponent's weakness is to rush."

"At that time, the one selected by Li Yunlong's new regiment to fight the bayonet was not weak in overall strength. to the battlefield."

"Xin Tiebing's commando team performed very well this time. The soldiers dared to fight and fight hard. The commando team was like a sharp knife, tearing apart the defense line of the [-]th Army in one fell swoop!"

Now Xin Tiebing, as the chief of staff of a regiment, is sitting below. Hearing Zhou Weihan say this, he is obviously a little embarrassed.

"Now I will analyze the Battle of Tainan as a whole!"

"Why did our Eighth Route Army fight this battle, and even this battle was dedicated to the Ninety-seventh Army?"

"Because from the very beginning, our army's struggle strategy was to 'use contradictions, win over the majority, attack the minority, and defeat each one'"

"Then what is the situation of the enemy army in Tainan? Pang Bingxun's troops are restrained by our [-]th Brigade and the [-]rd Desperate Column, and cannot advance northward.

Sun Dianying's New Fifth Army and Lu Zhonglin's Department were afraid of our army's strength or intended to preserve it, and were wavering and waiting to see.

However, Zhu Huaibing's tribe was far away from the main force of the Tainan stubborn army, protruding from the Wushe area, and was in an isolated position.

That's why my Eighth Route Army launched an offensive against Zhu Huaibing's Ninety-seventh Army! "

Zhou Weihan paused for a moment and then said: "The above is the understanding and insight into the internal situation of the enemy army, this is knowledge!"

"Let's talk about what we know about the Ninety-seventh Army, an independent combat unit!"

"Our Eighth Route Army's intelligence work is very detailed. Before the battle started, we had a general understanding of the number, weapons and equipment of the Ninety-seventh Army, and even collected most of the information on the middle and high-level officers of the enemy army."

"Just the night before the battle started, I sent Dong Jiang's reconnaissance company to bring back a map of the specific deployment of the enemy's troops and the layout of their firepower!"

"Our army's offensive deployment, one of which is our independent detachment and the 386 brigade on the northern front, attacking from north to south in three routes; secondly, the enemy's right rear has the approaching detachment 22 and 25 regiments to attack its flank;
Third, the Jizhong garrison brigade on the left rear of the enemy crossed the Zhanghe River to prevent Zhu Huaibing's troops from breaking out westward and southward; He set up a second blocking position. "

"Why did the head of the headquarters dare to arrange it like this, and why did my independent detachment act as the central column? You should think about it!"

"With such a detailed battle plan, how can the Ninety-seventh Army be undefeated? To put it bluntly, our army knows the situation of the soldiers at the bottom of the Ninety-seventh Army better than Zhu Huaibing!"

"After talking about our Eighth Route Army, let's talk about the Ninety-seventh Army."

"If Zhu Huaibing really understood the strength of the Ninety-seventh Army, he wouldn't let the troops be deployed around the seven or eight towns along the line. The line of defense was extended, and the troops were scattered.

Of course, if he really shrinks his troops and waits for reinforcements, I can only say that he understands his own situation and knows that he can't fight head-on with our Eighth Route Army, but he doesn't understand the situation of his reinforcements. He can wait until Reinforcements? "

"Both sides have always known that a big battle is imminent, but does Zhu Huaibing know when our Eighth Route Army will launch an attack? Do you know how many troops are involved? Did you know that the Jizhong Police Brigade went to block his retreat before the battle started? Obviously he didn't know. !"

"Zhu Huaibing was blind in Tainan. He didn't know anything. He even dared to send the 281st regiment out of the defensive position after Yuquanling was captured by our independent detachment, and was wiped out!"

"All of the above are known. I don't ask you to take a look at the head of the headquarters to plan strategies and gain insight into the enemy's situation, but don't be like Zhu Huaibing, and become a fool!"

After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter.

"Now let me compare the specific battles of our independent detachment!"

"Wang Yigong, when your four regiments were attacking Shidu Town, why did you surround three and miss one?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"Detachment leader, before attacking Shidu Town, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company conducted a detailed investigation on it, and found out that there are puppet troops in the town, and the approximate number of people."

"Later, I personally investigated and found that the puppet army in the town was really lax. It was easy to defeat them with our department at the time, but it was very difficult to completely wipe out the puppet army!"

"If you encircle on all sides, the puppet troops who have no intention of fighting will fight trapped beasts. Therefore, I did not organize troops to attack at one city gate. Instead, I let the troops set up an ambush position four or five miles away from the city gate!"

"There must be people in the puppet army who can see through my strategy, but I believe that most of them will not give up the chance of survival. The puppet army that broke through defeated a small army that I deliberately arranged. Using their arrogance to underestimate the enemy, the puppet army The army successfully entered the ambush position I arranged!" Wang Yigong made a summary report on the situation in Shidu Town.

"Well, very good, this is the aspect of knowing yourself and your enemy!" Zhou Weihan praised.

Then Zhou Weihan turned his head to look at Jing Dagang: "The Heijiakou blockade buried a dissatisfied Japanese brigade alive. If you really blocked a Japanese brigade, it would be good if you lost more than half of your troops, right?"

"The blocking battle at Heijiakou fully embodies the need to understand the topographic and geological characteristics and make full use of its soft soil, instead of simply taking advantage of the narrow exit and setting up blocking positions around the exit!"
