Age of Rebirth

~- -~230 Chapter [-] The enemy changes and I change

From the abnormal actions of the Japanese army, Tang Qiuli saw Ito's intention to stick to Yangon and turn the whole city into scorched earth. It should be said that the strategy adopted by Ito was very correct. With the current strength and equipment of the Japanese army in Yangon , far inferior to the independent division troops, even if it is exhausted, Ito can't afford it.

Shrink the troops, guard the urban area, avoid being killed by the superior firepower of the independent division in the wilderness in the suburbs, increase the density of defensive troops in the urban area, and use the complex terrain conditions in the city to offset the advantage of the offensive side in terms of firepower. Ito is a For experts, street fighting has always been a headache for the offensive side, and Tang Qiuli is no exception.

Since Ito wants to stick to Yangon, the Battle of Yangon will inevitably be a protracted battle for the city. Of course Tang Qiuli will not forget that the history of the Soviet-German War and the offensive of the Third German Reich The [-] troops fell into the city battle of Stalingrad, unable to attack for a long time, and gradually consumed. In the end, it changed the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield and planted the root of the fall of the Third Reich.

It is true that Yangon does not have the extremely harsh and severe winter climate of the Soviet Union. I and the Japanese are fighting in foreign countries, and I am not worried that the Japanese army will launch a large-scale counterattack. On the contrary, the resources of the Indochina Peninsula can be used for their own use. The casualties were absolutely unbearable for him. Ito dared to use inferior troops and equipment to hold on to Yangon's confidence. [

It should be the decision of the Japanese base camp, which means that the Japanese army will continue to reinforce Yangon from the mainland and continue to give Ito blood transfusions. The right question should be when MacArthur appears on the front line in Yangon. Of course, this is for the Japanese to see.

The silence in the conference room made Tang Qiuli take back his drifting thoughts leisurely. Brother Qiusheng, Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang were thinking about tactical issues, but what he needed to consider was the layout at the strategic level. Seeing everyone's gaze , all staring at him, Tang Qiuli looked at these generals peacefully.

He knew that it was time for him to make a decision, and he said in a calm voice: "Your tactics are very good, and they are very suitable for the current form of the Yangon battlefield. What I need to add is that based on everyone's suggestions, attack Yangon , We must adopt the tactics of attacking at multiple points and focusing on breakthroughs, using tanks to cover the infantry, regardless of priority, and at the same time launching assaults on the Japanese defensive positions."

"The size of each assault force is based on the regiment. Once a breakthrough point has been achieved, the follow-up troops will immediately follow up and consolidate. It should be noted that to prevent the Japanese artillery from killing our assault troops, the time to launch the attack is set in October. At three o'clock in the morning on the 29th, in order to achieve the assault effect, all the tank units directly under the strategic reserve team were assigned to the two main attacking corps."

The meeting ended, and the attack on Yangon was decided like this. The generals hurried back to the troops to deploy combat missions, and they all left. Tang Qiuli shouted: "Zheng Yong, you stay here for a while." Zheng Yong, who had already arrived at the door of the conference room, Hearing this, he immediately turned back, looked at the commander expectantly, and asked eagerly, "Master, is there a new mission for our artillery?"

In this meeting, Zheng Yong, the artillery commander of the Independent Division who has always been in the lead, was so bored that he almost vomited blood. He counted every battle in the Independent Division. Going forward, Zheng Yong said more than once at the Pao Zhi meeting, "As long as our Pao Zhi big guy opens his mouth and bombards him for an hour, the infantry will go up, just like cleaning the battlefield." Regarding these words of his commander, The commanders and staff officers of the various artillery groups at Paozhi deeply agreed.

But today's meeting, why did it sound like there was no artillery?Pure infantry attack and street fighting?Then what do we artillerymen do, we don't always watch the fun, do we?He was looking forward to it very much. The commander of the corps asked for artillery support, but until the end of the meeting, he, who has always played the leading role, was completely forgotten. What do we explain?

Anyone can see that the Battle of Yangon is probably the last battle in the Indochina Peninsula. The artillerymen acted as spectators and said that they had thrown people to death. Tang Qiuli looked at Zheng Yong, who was eager to try, and couldn't help laughing. With a smile, Zheng Yong was overjoyed, "There is a door, isn't the commander making other arrangements for the artillery?"

Tang Qiuli looked at Zheng Yong, and suddenly asked very seriously: "Zheng Yong, I have a question that requires you to answer truthfully." Zheng Yong was taken aback, looked at the teacher in puzzlement, wondering in his heart, "What is the question, teacher? So serious, have you not made any mistakes recently?" "Master, please ask me, and I promise to answer truthfully."

Tang Qiuli then asked: "Zheng Yong, the artillery unit, when the main attacking force launched an attack on Yangon, are you sure to suppress the artillery fire in the Japanese city and cover the attack of the troops? Reminder, Yangon cannot be smashed to pieces!" "

When Zheng Yong heard it, he straightened up, "I thought it was a serious matter, that's all," he replied loudly: "Suppression of artillery fire, precise bombardment of point targets, destroying enemy artillery positions, This is the basic capability of our artillery unit, please rest assured, commander, once the Japanese army dares to bombard our siege troops, within 10 minutes, the little devil's artillery will be turned into a pile of scrap metal!"

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed. There is no need to worry about the threat of the Japanese artillery, but he still said with a sullen face, "I don't like to listen to big words and empty words. In Yangon City, there are dense buildings. What guarantee do you use to eliminate the Japanese artillery?" , without causing damage to the urban area? I’m not very sure, I’d rather not use artillery.”

Zheng Yong was a little anxious, blushing and said with a thick neck: "Master, you know that we, Zheng Yong, have never let go of empty artillery to suppress and attack the enemy's artillery fire. That is the basic skill of artillery. As long as the artillery of the little devil fires, I can fight back along the road and blow up the little devils, including people and cannons. The artillery still has this ability, but, but..."

Zheng Yong's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, it was almost a whisper. He suddenly remembered what the teacher said. To be honest, Zheng Yong really didn't dare to guarantee [-]%. High-rise buildings and private houses were blown up, Tang Qiuli asked calmly, "But what? Just say what you have to say, don't hesitate!"

Zheng Yong said eagerly: "However, if my cannon can grow eyes, I can guarantee it." Tang Qiuli laughed loudly and said, "Zheng Yong, Zheng Yong, are you boasting? So, you The artillery is not sure, while suppressing the Japanese artillery fire, it will not cause damage to the urban area of ​​Yangon? Well, there is nothing wrong with you here. "

Zheng Yong was so anxious that the sweat dripped from his face, "Master, don't, our artillerymen can't just sit idle in this last battle. Go back, and those boys will eat me. Master, you have a lot of ideas, give us some ideas." Think of a way!"

Tang Qiuli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Zheng Yong was really the only one among the commanders of the independent division who had the strength of brown sugar. He shook his head and said, "Zheng Yong, I really can't do anything about you. In this case, I will give you Press the cannon on your eyes, and I ordered the air force to send out a brigade of reconnaissance planes to serve as artillery correction planes in the air, indicating targets for the artillery, remember, you have no chance to test fire, you must hit it with one hit!"

When Zheng Yong heard it, he jumped up happily, and gave a military salute with a "snap", "Master, Zheng Yong, the artillery commander of the Independent Division, can assure you that as long as there is an aircraft to indicate the target, the first shot is guaranteed to hit, and it will never miss." "OK Now, I want to see the actual effect, go back and get ready," Tang Qiuli waved his hands and yelled at Zheng Yong.

Zheng Yong left. There were only two people left in the conference room. The other one was Liu Xinlan. Tang Qiuli looked at Liu Xinlan who was busy clearing the table. Her plump body followed the undulating movements, full of youthful rhythms, revealing The beautiful waist, especially the round buttocks, set off by the well-fitting army trousers, was extra alluring, and he couldn't help but have the urge to touch her. [

The plump breasts rose and fell rhythmically with her movements, and Tang Qiuli couldn't help being moved. The beauty in front of him and the shadow deep in his memory gradually merged into one and never separated again, "Commander Liu, "He whispered, Liu Xinlan turned her head, her beautiful big eyes flickering, looking at him in puzzlement.

Tang Qiuli looked directly into Liu Xinlan's bright eyes, as if he wanted to look into the heart of this beautiful female officer, thought for a while and said: "It's nothing, you see, we are together all day long, and we always call you Staff Officer Liu, which seems a little distant And stiff, from now on, I will call you Xinlan, is that okay?"

Liu Xinlan was obviously very surprised. This man suddenly asked such a difficult question, which made her a little flustered. A blush suddenly appeared on her fair face, "It's really unexpected, and I can't refuse. Why is the figure of this man always lingering, and I seem to want him to call me this way, this change in mentality may have started after the family dinner entertaining Americans?"

Liu Xinlan said in an almost inaudible voice: "You are my officer, you can call yourself whatever you like." After finishing speaking, her heart almost jumped out, and she was about to escape. Tang Qiuli opened his eyes wide. I didn't hear Liu Xinlan's words clearly, so I hurriedly called her, "Xinlan, what are you doing? I still have a task for you!"

Liu Xinlan stopped in her tracks, turned around slowly, her face was as red as burning coals, Tang Qiuli squeezed her eyes narrowly, Liu Xinlan gave this man who always made her restless, their eyes met, Suddenly, they laughed out loud at the same time, a little embarrassment and unnaturalness disappeared in an instant, at this moment, everything about this man broke into Liu Xinlan's heart unreasonably.
