Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Cao Guoliang looked at the major's staff with half-closed eyes, and said, "Say, what else did the commander say? No matter how ugly it sounds, just say it straight."

The major's staff gritted his teeth and replied: "The commander said, if you and Mr. Wang can't complete the task on time, get out as soon as possible, and he will fight in person."

Cao Guoliang couldn't help but smile, and said to Wang Teng with a smile: "I knew he would say that. It's been so many years, and he just used these few words at a glance, and he didn't know how to change them."

Wang Teng said with a smile: "It must be that these few words are very useful, otherwise Commander Liu couldn't have used them repeatedly?"

"Hehe, that's right, these monkey cubs of our Yuanyi Group are still following his tricks, and they can't stand a little excitement. Go home and take care of their children. That's what girls do. There is no such person in Yuanyi Group Army. All of them are strong men."

"So, just to prove it to the commander, the soldiers rushed forward. Is this why you have been winning battles?"

"It's almost like this." Cao Guoliang nodded, but the expression on his face gradually became serious, he took a breath and continued, "It's just that this time, I don't know if it will work?"

Wang Teng scratched his head and said: "Yes, this battle is not easy to fight, and the time is too tight."

Cao Guoliang beat the table in front of him loudly, and said fiercely: "No matter how hard a bone is, our new Fifth Master will crush his bastards even if his teeth are broken."

"Including our Second Marine Division, it is impossible for us to stand behind at this time." Wang Teng also said grimly.

"Good brother." Cao Guoliang punched Wang Teng in the chest, and said: "Go, go to the war room, let's study it carefully, and we must find a favorable terrain to fight over without tearing a hole. Let's not try to break through this line of defense."

In the war room, the chiefs of staff of the two divisions are leading a group of staff nervously perfecting the combat sand table.

Tropical mountains, jungles, mountains, rivers, villages, shrubs, water net rice fields and other landforms and features are intertwined with each other, and the terrain is extremely complex, which has a great impact on the combat command and coordination of the army, especially on the communication command Worse.

Mountains and jungles are rainy and humid, and communication equipment components are prone to moisture, mildew, and damage, resulting in reduced technical performance, shortened communication distance, or even loss of call performance, reducing the effect of wireless communication.

In the isolated area, ultrashort wave communication is difficult to communicate, and the installation, maintenance, withdrawal and transfer of wired communication lines are inconvenient, which makes wired communication more difficult and has a very important impact on combat command.

Therefore, it is also difficult to coordinate operations in tropical mountains and jungles.

The Yuanyi Group Army is a highly mechanized unit, and soldiers will rely more heavily on artillery fire and tanks. However, the terrain constraints here constitute a contradiction, and it is difficult to fully reflect the spirit of perfect cooperation in the past.

In complex terrain, it is also difficult for artillery to find a suitable launch position, and the flexibility, speed and strike power of firepower maneuvers will be significantly reduced.

But these are not the most important thing. The Cagayan River lying in front of them is a natural danger. Even though they have brought enough assault boats and kayaks from the rear, the enemy's defense system in the opposite jungle, The strength of the troops is almost unknown.

The enemy's poisonous bullets, gas bombs, biological and chemical weapons also pose a great threat to soldiers.

All kinds of things made the battle in front of us not as easy as imagined.

In order to reduce casualties, all possible variables must be drilled on the combat sand table before the attack.

Of course, Cao Guoliang and the others are completely unfamiliar with the terrain in this area. The existing understanding is based on maps or descriptions by local villagers. It is difficult to match the actual terrain with the map. In order to get familiar with coordination matters, the situation may change during actual combat, which will bring unexpected difficulties to combat operations.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to achieve "quick, timely, and accurate" command coordination in this battle.

There is a saying that sharpening a knife does not cut firewood by mistake. Even under such high pressure, Cao Guoliang and Wang Teng still spent most of the afternoon and a whole night perfecting the pre-war deployment.

The enemy's line of defense on the Cagayan River is tens of kilometers long. At this time, the deployment of troops should have exceeded five divisions, and the overall strength of the army is not lower than that of the far away army.

To win this war without terrain advantage, force advantage, or even firepower advantage, you can only send out surprise soldiers, choose one or two points to break through forcefully, tear open the enemy's defense line and quickly infiltrate both sides.

The highlight of the first crossing of the river was completed by the Second Marine Division. Landing on the beach was their specialty, and they did their part.

While the army on the right was carefully planning, the offensive plan of Duan Ruyi, the army on the left, was also in full swing.

The offensive plans of the two armies were exactly the same, they both chose two or three locations to forcefully cross the river.

The enemy has a slight advantage in strength. If there is only one army or only a gap is opened, it will easily lead to a single army going deep. Once the enemy is blocked by a large force, and then flanked by both sides, it is inevitable that the army will be divided and surrounded.

Therefore, the tactics can only be wide open and close, attacking with all strength across the board.

At the same time, the troops of the second and third echelons in the rear will reach the edge of the jungle before tonight. Once the front attack is unfavorable, they will take over the offensive task and continue to attack.

In short, once the battle starts, there will be no pause until the enemy's defenses are broken.

Early the next morning, Cao Guoliang and Wang Teng had already appeared at the front. Time was tight and responsibilities were heavy, and they dared not slack off in the slightest.

The torrential rain for several days once turned many low-lying areas in the jungle into swampy lands. However, the landing site was chosen to be in a relatively flat area.

As soon as the rainstorm stopped, the accumulated floodwater receded quickly, but the ground was relatively slippery, and even the trenches were covered with mud. The soldiers turned into clay figurines one by one, and their spirits did not seem to be as good as imagined.

Many soldiers even had sallow complexions and wobbled a little when they walked.

The biological and chemical weapons of the island army still have a great impact on them. Even if they have sufficient medicines and good medical conditions, once soldiers are infected, they will inevitably suffer from physical discomfort and decline in physical fitness.

In line with the principle of not leaving the line of fire with minor injuries, these infected soldiers are still gritting their teeth and persisting. They are elites, and they must look like elites all the time.

Cao Guoliang and his entourage entered the trenches, quickly found the wounded soldiers in the team, and immediately ordered them all to go down. The attack began. Every fire support point is crucial. A jam may lead to insufficient suppressive firepower. , Therefore, the soldiers on the front line must be elites who have no problems in all aspects.
