Bright Sword: Heiyunzhai was closed at the beginning

Chapter 263 Convincing others with strength

This was a small negligence, intentional or unintentional, but it made Colonel Smith suddenly come up with the concept that there are 8 artillery battalions in the Ping An Group. More than 100 artillery pieces are not what he is interested in. What he is interested in is that Gao Jianwu and the others can directly deploy them. Come out enough skilled artillery to form this new expeditionary artillery.

In the eyes of Colonel Smith, compared with the newcomers who have just been recruited by the government, this is simply a world of difference.

Colonel Smith believes that by pulling out the team in front of him, equipped with weapons, he can directly fight the little devils and fight very beautifully!
"Colonel Gao, I have to say that you did a great job. You really deserved your reputation for driving most of the little devils out of Jin." Colonel Smith praised.

"But, can you tell me now, how many troops like yours can be transferred to Nanyang?"

"We are not in a hurry to talk about this issue, Colonel Smith, we haven't finished reading it yet, and there will be something that surprises you later." Gao Jianwu avoided talking about this topic.

Before he completely conquered Colonel Smith with his strength, he was not going to talk about such a thing, and there would be no advantage in talking about the price before the heat was reached.

Next, the independent regiment directly demonstrated in front of Colonel Smith how to use the walkie-talkie equipped to the platoon to command the troops to coordinate offensive and defensive, and to find real-time fire support on the battlefield.

"Colonel Gao, you are equipped with a walkie-talkie!" Colonel Smith saw the mystery at a glance, and couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing that the independent group of the Ping An Group used almost exactly the same walkie-talkie as them, Colonel Smith was shocked again!
"Yes, Colonel Smith, our researchers independently developed the walkie-talkie after seeing the principle of your country's walkie-talkie.

You see, because we lack sufficient battery equipment, we have to develop a hand generator to continuously power the walkie-talkie, and use a person to generate electricity continuously so that he can work continuously.

Although it is a bit inconvenient, it can solve the communication problem from command to platoon on the battlefield. "

Gao Jianwu explained half-truth.

Speaking of direct imitation of other people's products, this more or less involves a bit of infringement, but Colonel Smith expressed his understanding.

In the current state of globalized warfare, no country does not use all its strength to continuously study the technology in the hands of friends and even enemies to enhance its own war capabilities.

He knew very well that the state-of-the-art communication technology such as walkie-talkies would never be shared with these Orientals. Therefore, Gao Jianwu said that he developed it by himself, and Colonel Smith also chose to believe it. After all, this technology could not have fallen from the sky.

However, Colonel Smith was still careless. Facing the threat, today he can only act as a shocking tool.

The large-scale appearance of walkie-talkies in Gao Jianwu's team is not just a matter of equipment.

This made the well-informed Colonel Smith realize that the opponent should also have a team of electronic technicians with quite strong skills!They have developed some valuable military products.

While this discovery made him very surprised, it also suddenly raised his interest to the extreme.

However, Gao Jianwu's arrangement is not just that.

Today he must completely convince Colonel Smith.

So take him to the secret tank training base.

When Colonel Smith saw the two T-34s at the tank training base for the first time, "It's a bargain!" Colonel Smith blurted out his inner shock!

"Gao, you guys are already training tank drivers?! Tell me how many tank teams you have that can go into battle now?" Colonel Smith, looking at the T-34 speeding past in front of his eyes, confirmed that he was not mistaken, the training ground Above, two T-34 tanks are skillfully demonstrating forward avoidance and observation!

And turn the barrel to aim!

There is no doubt that Gao Jianwu has started training tank drivers himself.

"Colonel Smith, this is still a matter that we are currently highly confidential. I hope you will keep it in your heart after reading it, and keep it secret for us until one day you give the little devil a big surprise.

As you can see, here we started tank driver training with a T-34 from the north, for which we got some help from our friends in the north, but not much.

Now only two training tanks greatly hinder our training speed, but even so, we still have 100 battle groups that can be easily trained and can fight.

If you give me 100, we can immediately form a tank regiment with super attack power!
You know what it means to have such a tank regiment in Nanyang, we can crush little devils! "Gao Jianwu said with pretended regret.

For this demonstration, he just showed two T-34 tanks.

Convinced Colonel Smith that this was a reserve training and not a combat force.

Even so, Colonel Smith was shocked again. A regiment of tank and armored soldiers had almost been trained, which made Colonel Smith believe that as soon as the equipment was in place, Gao Jianwu would be able to build a powerful armored attack team here.

In contrast, the Central Army has to spend a lot of time and effort on training, because most of the recruits they bring there are recruits, and they are far behind in terms of technology and culture.

Not to mention armored soldiers and artillery, even the basic combat tactics of infantry have to be trained for several months before they can be put into battle.

Comparing with Gao Jianwu, a unit that has been tested in actual combat, made a judgment, and the last trace of doubt in Colonel Smith's mind disappeared.

Take them, be sure to take them!Colonel Smith was full of this crazy idea!
However this is not the end!
Outside Lu'an City, General Gao Jian's forward command post was set up 2 kilometers outside Weiyuan Gate.

Colonel Smith, the observer representative of the beautiful country, followed Gao Jianwu, observing the guards at the west gate of Lu'an City, and exchanged his views with Gao Jianwu in a low voice, without any pride in his identity.

In order to prove that his team is not a fake, Gao Jianwu took out the ultimate display - directly to an actual battle!
This time he brought 4 main infantry battalions, a heavy artillery regiment, and two artillery battalions to the foot of Lu'an, a large city in southeast Shanxi. Under the witness of Colonel Smith, Gao Jianwu skillfully demonstrated what infantry coordination tactics are!

At the main artillery position 8 kilometers away, Gao Jianwu commanded 150mm howitzers and 105mm howitzers to accurately clear the light and dark bunkers of the little devil's city defense.Blast the little devil's outer position directly into a road, and then blow down the city gate!
Next, the 75mm mountain artillery and field artillery of the artillery battalion began to extend to clear the defensive enemies on the city wall!
Like a precision-running machine, Gao Jianwu used cannons to blast through almost all the important defensive firepower points and large obstacles of the Little Devils. Immediately afterwards, the infantry dispatched and advanced 1 km to the front under the cover of cannon fire, establishing layers of new mortar positions. , through the walkie-talkie calls of the advance troops, provide close-range artillery support!
Gradually flatten the little devil's defensive position in an orderly manner!

And in such a process, compared with other teams, the casualties were minimal!
Colonel Smith's eyelids twitched at the sight!
Because he suddenly discovered that if it was a simple infantry confrontation, even if he brought an equal amount of heavy firepower field troops, he might not be able to defeat Gao Jianwu's troops!
Colonel Smith couldn't help being a little shocked by this discovery!These Orientals have almost reached a peak in the coordinated use of infantry and artillery!
Thankfully they don't have an air force or navy, and it looks like they won't have one for a long time.

Colonel Smith said happily.

If this is the case, then everything is still under control.After all, the current war has entered the era of the trinity of sea, land and air.

Only the army is lame no matter how strong it is, but it is really just right to deal with the little devils in Dongyang!
Thinking of this, Colonel Smith had a new surprise that he couldn't suppress.

This trip was completely unexpected. Colonel Smith, who had no hope for the Eighth Route, has now become the most determined person to promote cooperation.

He submitted a top-secret on-the-spot investigation report, showing what he had seen and heard with pictures and texts. This report was not only highly valued by General Qiao, the chief of staff of the Nanyang Theater in the beautiful country, but even made the Joint Chiefs of Staff under his impetus. It was unanimously agreed to send elites from the Eight Routes to Nanyang to carry out the combat mission of recovering Nanyang!
For this reason, Colonel Smith was appointed to carry out the specific negotiation work, and General Joe vigorously promoted this matter and was responsible for clearing all obstacles at the top level. Even so, the negotiation was also very difficult. The three unifications, in fact, have to control the command and future control of the new team!

This is a condition that is absolutely unacceptable to Eight Roads. The negotiation was at an impasse for a while, but Gao Jianwu is sure that the beautiful congress will put the battlefield first, and will definitely exert pressure to force the principal to make concessions at critical moments!

So the negotiating team at Eighth Road is not in a hurry.After Gao Jianwu went to persuade Chu Yunfei, Chu Yunfei went all out to fight for it in the second war zone. Because Gao Jianwu promised to keep the 358 regiment number unchanged, Chief Yan couldn't find a reasonable reason to refuse. He won a county seat for his long face, so Chief Yan pinched his nose and recognized it.

At the same time, he also began to make efforts to use his influence to promote the expedition. When Gao Jianwu showed Colonel Smith that he had indeed mobilized 3 people to accept the expedition, General Joe in the beautiful country became unusually tough. Using the ultimate move of cutting off military aid, the principal had to pat the table and grit his teeth to admit it.

The following negotiations progressed very quickly. Facing the weapons and equipment proposed by Gao Jianwu, Colonel Smith agreed without hesitation. For them, what they lack is not weapons and ammunition, but people who can pick up these weapons and ammunition to win the battle , The equipment for a mere 3 people is still provided in the South Asian subcontinent. The beautiful country really does not lack this.

The four parties reached an agreement to send troops.

General Gao Jian will serve as the commander-in-chief of this expeditionary force attack group.

Knowing that the little devil has a new plan to attack South Asia, the Allied Command in South Asia is somewhat panicked. In order to allow Gao Jianwu's expeditionary force attack group to reach the battlefield quickly, General Qiao decided to use a large-scale airlift plan to reach the rear via the hump route. The C-47 transport plane flew directly to Jinyang after unloading, and airlifted the expeditionary force attack group assembled in Jinyang directly to Imphal on the front line of South Asia!
