spn watched Ye Ting and Deng Yanda bicker, and Bai Chongxi and Zhang Zhizhong both had smiles on their lips, as if they were not interfering.

Following the opinions of Ye Ting and Deng Yanda, other officers also chattered about it.The content of the discussion is what is going on with this situation, and the possible responses of both the "government" of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Red Army to guide the subsequent battle situation.

From the day the 78th Regiment was formed, this force has shouldered the task of performing various new tactics.Among them, the new tactics of mechanized equipment, that is, new equipment such as tanks, and infantry coordinated operations are of course the main target of the 78th regiment.

Fang Zida clearly knew that the decades after the First World War would be an era of subversive changes to traditional military tactics.With the extensive use of machine guns on the battlefield in the early stages of World War I, the ace cavalry, which originally accounted for a large proportion of the army, has gradually withdrawn from the combat arena. Except for some special battlefields, the cavalry charge The tactics that have lasted for thousands of years have become a pure "suicide" under the cover of metal storm machine gun shooting and trenches.

After experiencing the cruel reality of the European battlefield, many countries have now begun to drastically reduce the proportion of cavalry in the army, from increasing the firepower and mobile configuration of infantry to replace the role of cavalry.Similarly, on the Western Front, with the first appearance of the tank as a weapon, the classic trench and barbed wire tactics in the European battlefield will also become more vulnerable with the emergence of this monster of war.Although the tanks on the European battlefield are only experimental products, and their firepower, speed, and assault combat capabilities are far from reaching the effects of later generations, it cannot be denied that the appearance of tanks is a major change in military history. [

Historically, decades later, Germany first focused on the use of tanks on the battlefield, and extended from tank warfare to full-scale mechanized warfare.That is, the "blitzkrieg" used by the Germans in World War II. These new tactics completely subverted the previous combat concepts. Coupled with the rapid development of advanced weapons such as fighter jets, bombers, and transport aircraft, the war will change from a simple Ground combat is transferred to land and air coordinated operations, and sea and air coordinated operations, and even sea, land and air combat methods.

Fang Zida was not an excellent general.But it cannot be denied that he is comparable to someone in this world. For the development and direction of the military, he can give the most correct goals, but how to achieve this goal depends on the soldiers of the National Defense Forces and actual combat on the battlefield Come to verify.

In Fang Zida's national army building plan, the navy has received warships brought back from Europe and re-established a new Central Naval Academy.In the European war, the Chinese who received the "bonus" made great progress in shipbuilding technology, plus a large number of technicians, engineers and scientists recruited by the Chinese "government" from Europe.The Jiangnan Shipyard has begun to "experimentally" build small aircraft carriers. According to the plan, in the next three to five years, China will have one or two aircraft carriers that can be put into war and put them into the naval order. China will be able to have a complete aircraft carrier formation, thus completely reversing the strength comparison of the Far East Navy.

As for the Air Force, the military development base is also progressing smoothly.End of this year, early next year at the latest.China's Central Aviation Academy will also be established, with the emergence of aircraft that fly faster, fly farther, have more powerful attacks, and have more advanced equipment than those in the European battlefield, whether it is the aircraft needs of aircraft carriers or coordinated operations with the army The formation of the Air Force is imminent.

These words seem to be far away, let us look at the situation of the 78th regiment again.As mentioned earlier, mechanized combat is an important tactical interpretation task of the 78th regiment, under the training of Bai Chongxi.This new tactic has been initially mastered by the 78th Regiment. Although it has not experienced actual combat on the battlefield, after drills and many exercises, the trench barbed wire tactics widely used in the European battlefield are no longer worth mentioning to the 78th Regiment. .

However, due to the special situation now. The 78th regiment was not equipped with tanks and other combat vehicles when it went north. First, it was worried about military leaks. Second, the current tanks and other combat vehicles still have great shortcomings in design, and it is impossible to carry out such a long-distance trek.However, even without heavy weapons such as tanks, the 78th Regiment still has great strength, and it also doesn't take small trenches seriously.

Bai Chongxi believed that, relying on the abilities of his soldiers and the various weapons in his hands, it would not be too difficult to break through the opponent's defense line.But there is no heavy weapon like a tank as a pioneer to open a breakthrough point, and some casualties of the 78th regiment on the battlefield are inevitable.The 78th regiment going north has nearly 5000 people. Excluding the staff, logistics and civilian staff, etc., the number of people who can all participate in the battle is about 3500. If the guard company directly under the regiment headquarters and the reserved reserve team are excluded, the maximum number of people who can participate in the battle at a time is about About 2000 people, that is, two reinforcement battalions.This number is not much different from the number of troops invested at the division level of the Soviet Red Army, but don't forget, what is the real purpose of Bai Chongxi and the others coming here? One for three or even one for five, the 78 regiment would not engage in such a loss-making business.

Therefore, in Bai Chongxi's plan, it is absolutely impossible for the 78th Regiment to start a head-on battle with the Soviet Red Army. If it does so, even if it wins, it will inevitably lead to huge casualties for the 78th Regiment.In fact, before the meeting, Bai Chongxi already had a plan, that is to use the least amount of troops and the most violent fire support to hit the opponent's weakest or most important place, so as to achieve his tactical goal.

Such tactics are somewhat similar to special operations, or beheading tactics that are often said in later generations.This kind of tactics has extremely high requirements, and the battlefield situation and the intelligence collection of the opponent, as well as the personal quality, ability and combat experience of the soldiers are beyond the reach of ordinary troops.

Although the 78th regiment has performed this tactic many times, it has not met the final requirements of the general staff. The 78th regiment is not a real special force, but an experimental new force with the shadow of a special force.But Bai Chongxi didn't worry too much about this. Having experienced the European battlefield, he clearly knew the combat capability of his opponent. Bai Chongxi has no idea about the British and French armies where the Germans have been stalemate for several years.But now in front of them is the Soviet Red Army. Although this army with high morale is heroic on the battlefield, it is only the third-rate garbage army in the world in terms of the quality of its soldiers. When it was built, there was not much difference between the local miscellaneous troops, relying on the large number of people, they were not afraid of death, rushed and fought, and went straight.Although this kind of troops made the Russian Empire's "government" troops who were also not in the same rank embarrassed, once they encountered a real elite army, their failure was inevitable.

Just like on the Eastern Front battlefield of the European War, in the face of less than 100 million Allied troops, the millions of troops of Tsarist Russia collapsed at the touch of a button. There were more than 270 million Russian troops killed and captured, and there were millions more troops Retreat in embarrassment.If it weren't for the material support of the Chinese "government" and Czarist Russia's desperate efforts to form a new army to fight against the front line with their lives, I am afraid that the final outcome of the European war would have changed long ago.

If Bai Chongxi had 5 or 4 troops in his hands, it only took one battle to drive the Soviet Red Army back to his hometown.It is not too difficult to annihilate most of the opponent, or even capture Tukhachevsky alive.

"I think we should use sharp knife tactics to change the current battle situation with the least cost." Just as everyone was entangled with the previous problem, a voice suddenly sounded.

The person who spoke was Fu Zuoyi, the deputy battalion commander of the Second Battalion. Like Bai Chongxi and others, Fu Zuoyi also graduated from the Central Army Academy, but he was only one year younger than them.In school, Fu Zuoyi was not as radiant as Bai Chongxi with excellent grades, and also different from Zhang Zhizhong, Deng Yanda, Gu Zhutong, Ye Ting and others who were good at socializing. Fu Zuoyi had always been a well-behaved marginal figure in the military academy. Not good, but not bad, and the communication with classmates is only in a very normal way. He is usually taciturn and not very talkative. After graduation, he joined the expeditionary force and stayed in Europe for a short time. The war ended and he returned home. He was transferred to the 78th regiment under the order of his superiors.

Although Fu Zuoyi is not very popular in school, it cannot be denied that he is an officer who is good at leading troops and has ideas.As the battalion commander of the second battalion, Gu Zhutong was worried at first whether Fu Zuoyi would have a problem with his ability as his deputy, but this worry was completely dispelled after a while.Whether in daily training or tactical interpretation, Fu Zuoyi has shown his uniqueness, and it can be said that he has made a blockbuster in ten years.

"Oh, Yisheng, you might as well tell me what you think." Bai Chongxi began to pay attention to Fu Zuoyi after he came to the 78th regiment. After more than half a year of observation, Bai Chongxi gradually paid attention to this junior, and even thought of Fu Zuoyi to some extent. He is not even inferior to himself in terms of tactical training.Hearing what Fu Zuoyi said, Bai Chongxi's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.

Standing up, Fu Zuoyi first talked about the current situation without being overbearing or humble, including the situation of the 78th regiment. At the same time, he also explained and understood the real intention of the 78th regiment to go north.That is to say, Fu Zuoyi believes that although the "government" did not clarify the real intention of the 78th regiment going north, as a soldier and an excellent commander, he must understand the starting point and the desired goal of this action from all aspects. The 78th regiment went north not to help the old Maozi as cannon fodder, but to use this old Maozi's civil war to verify the previous tactical interpretations. In other words, this is the examination room of the 78th regiment. The future of the regiment needs to be tested in this examination room.

In this case, it is necessary to exchange the minimum price for the maximum result. Without the support of a large number of heavy weapons such as tanks and to avoid excessive casualties of soldiers, it is the most effective way to use sharp knife tactics, which is also known as special tactics in later generations. good plan.
