The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 271 Steel Collision 7 (New week, ask for red flowers!)

The National Defense Forces has a wartime instant messaging system, such as battle reports, etc., can be sent completely by telex or teleconference, and can go directly to the battalion level or even to the squad (the squad refers to the special forces, and the marines usually go to the company). In this way, the transmission at the middle level is reduced, which is conducive to ensuring that soldiers in the army fully understand the meaning of victory and adjust their mentality in a timely manner.

Naturally, it is impossible to use clear codes and this direct way to communicate combat orders.

Li Yangjing, commander of the Sixth Army, has seldom spoken since the start of the war, and his orders are short and forceful, without restraint in words and smiles. The biggest result so far, Li Yangjing's face has not seen a little change.

“命令：张同庆带领063师、直属火箭炮旅3团3营、集团军直属警卫团立即整装出发，快速与061师会合，对日军第3师团进行全面进攻！”

"Order: The 065th Division, 064th Division, 061st Division and their subordinate troops will postpone the attack on the enemy until 5 pm!"

After smoking a cigarette, Li Yangjing changed Ye Si's combat order.

"Commander, field division?" Huang Zhiling, chief of staff of the Sixth Army, reminded.

"As far as Yesi is concerned, I will go over and explain in person." Li Yangjing said firmly.

"I agree with the commander's order." Wu Deqin, deputy commander of the Sixth Army, supported it.

"Hehe, I also agree with the commander's order. Aren't I worried that Ye Si will misunderstand it?" Huang Zhiling laughed and expressed his worry easily.

However, Huang Zhiling did not agree with Li Yangjing to explain in person, but he went as the chief of staff.An hour later, Huang Zhiling happily returned to the military commander, "The commander, the deputy commander, and the wild division agreed to our changes; they also said that our changes are better and more thoughtful!"

The reason why Li Yangjing changed the order of the general offensive of the campaign was based on the exchange of fire between the Sixth Army and the Japanese army for most of the day.Objectively speaking, although the various divisions of the National Defense Forces are fighting against the Japanese army, it is only partial. As far as the entire defense line of the Japanese army is concerned, it has not been fundamentally hit. Under such circumstances, the Japanese army will naturally have no other ideas However, if the three main divisions suddenly attack the enemy in front of them with all their strength, who can guarantee that the Japanese army will not have strange ideas such as "breakout"?

Don't think that the tank troops of the National Defense Forces are invincible. In this kind of water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the Japanese army can render the tank troops useless as long as they use their brains a little bit.Strictly speaking, the mechanization of the current equipment of the National Defense Forces is especially suitable for marching and chasing the enemy. However, in Jiangnan Water Town, this advantage is very likely to turn into a disadvantage because it is limited by roads and geographical environment.Similarly, the heavy artillery units of the Wehrmacht are still subject to such geographical restrictions.

The National Defense Forces did not feel this disadvantage when they arrived in Zhejiang from Fujian and Guangdong provinces. That is because no one destroyed the roads and bridges, and they did not have to chase the enemy; Because the Japanese troops were hiding in fortifications, the Wehrmacht fought tough battles, not "movement" battles. The tank regiment of the 064th division was able to achieve the result of completely annihilating the 57th tank regiment of the Japanese army.

If the tank regiment of the Japanese army is fleeing ahead, and the tank regiment of the National Defense Forces is chasing behind, what will be the result?

Li Yangjing thought of these problems and decided to put all the army's campaign reserve team into the battle to encircle and annihilate the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, completely cutting off the Japanese army's dream of returning to Shanghai.Even if the 18th Division of the Japanese Army came to help from Songjiang, the Japanese Army could not escape because of the existence of the 062 Division and the three "wartime reconnaissance regiments" that cooperated in the operation.

Zhang Tongqing, the commander of the 063 Division, who received the order to move out, immediately ordered the division's engineering battalion to set off quickly, open roads in the mountains, and build bridges in the water. It is necessary to ensure that the entire division's combat troops will not be blocked by road traffic.

Half an hour later, the 063 Division, the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Rocket Artillery Brigade, and nearly 3 people in the guard regiment directly under the Group Army packed up their luggage in only half an hour, and the motor roared and set off.

The time left for the 063 Division to march is only 4 hours, and the straight-line distance from Deqing to Hongxi and Yaozhuang in the northeast of Jiaxing is only 40 kilometers, and the actual distance is more than 60 kilometers. small test.

In Wu Aihua's army-building consciousness, the engineering units of the National Defense Forces do not have a high status, and their importance is not so obvious.

Because in the National Defense Forces, each soldier has an engineer shovel behind him, and a small amount of engineering can be completed by ordinary troops; For the following rivers, take sackcloth bags and a few shovels and fill them with soil to fill up the rivers.And these linen pockets are mostly used for temporary construction of fortifications when encountering enemies.It takes only half an hour for a squad of soldiers to use engineering shovels and sackcloth bags to build a fortification for the whole squad, which also includes anti-blasting holes.

Therefore, it is really difficult to reflect the role of the engineering troops.

However, the engineering troops cannot do without!In this regard, Wu Aihua's solution is to reduce the size of its personnel, improve its equipment level, and strengthen its personnel quality.

The engineering unit, like the supply unit, was the first two units to realize mechanized transportation.The vehicles of the engineering troops are all trucks, on which construction materials such as steel and cement are prepared at any time, as well as inner tubes, inflators, small excavators, cutting machines, generators and other equipment. In this way, the engineering troops have The shadow of the pontoon bridge troops of later generations.

The personnel quality of the engineering unit can even be said to be the highest among all units.Basically, the people at the company commander level are all people who majored in engineering and construction at regular universities, and ordinary soldiers are mostly skilled craftsmen from the people.

Wu Aihua took a long-term view. Although the engineering units in combat did not seem to be very useful, in the history of the War of Resistance, our army’s engineering units were neither systematic nor large-scale, but they also won battles; Focus on the wartime, but look after the war.

China is too backward, among which transportation and education are the most backward.The latter is the so-called "[-]-year cultivation of people", which can be slowed down, but the traffic problem cannot be slowed down.One step slower means that the development of the whole society is one step slower or even two steps slower.

In later generations of countries, although the slogan "If you want to get rich, build roads first" has been shouted for many years, the real formation of the road network is still in the 21st century, and "village to village" can organically connect the whole country with roads in a real sense. Together.In this era, there is hardly a decent road in China.

In any case, the Engineer Battalion of the 063 Division lived up to the high expectations of the division commander Zhang Tongqing. They actually reinforced a bridge and widened a road of several hundred meters, thus ensuring the smooth passage of the 063 Division.

When the armored vehicles passed by that bridge last time, it was deformed due to excessive pressure. According to the test, it must be reinforced, otherwise the bridge may collapse when it is unknown which vehicle passed by.

And that part of the road, the reason is the same.Under the premise of not being in a hurry, it is completely possible to pass, but it is a little slower; however, after testing, the experts from the engineer battalion found that it is only this section of the road of several hundred meters. If it is wide, there may be an extra half an hour of delay here for the thousands of vehicles in the division.

In fact, it only took half an hour for the engineer battalion to widen this section of road.

After the battle, Wu Aihua saw the report on the 063 Division Engineer Battalion. When he saw this paragraph, Wu Aihua uttered a famous saying: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces!"

……

Because of the role of the engineer battalion, the forward troops of the 063 Division finally joined forces with the security forces of the 4 Division at 50:061 p.m., and only 10 minutes later, the howitzer regiment, tank regiment, rocket artillery battalion and anti-aircraft artillery battalion directly under the 063 Division also arrived at the designated position , marking the successful end of this march, and also means that the campaign deployment of the National Defense Forces is finally completed.

The two main divisions of the Sixth Army joined together, and according to the order of the field division, the "Hongyao Combat Command" formed officially began to operate. Huang Tingzhen, the commander of the 061 Division, served as the commander, and Zhang Tongqing, the commander of the 063 Division, served as the deputy commander. The staff of the remaining two divisions became the staff of the headquarters, and the frontline operations were carried out by the various marine regiments.

Yaozhuang is the place where the 3th Regiment of the 5th Brigade of the 9rd Division of the Japanese Army is stationed. Throughout the morning, the 061st Regiment of the 1 Division of the National Defense Forces was responsible for the attack. However, due to the fact that the Japanese army's fortifications relied on the terrain, they were very strong and very concealed. The 150mm cannon destroyed the village buildings near Yaozhuang three times, but the Japanese army was still very tenacious. As long as the artillery fire stopped, it would emerge from the ground. .

Huang Zhenzhen originally wanted to transfer the armored brigade directly under the group army back to Yaozhuang, but the armored brigade directly under it was responsible for Yangmiao's attack.Yangmiao is the headquarters of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army. Yangmiao not only has the 10th Wing of the Japanese Army, but also the 3rd Field Artillery Wing and the 3rd Tank Wing attached to the 3rd Division; It was the 061rd Regiment of the 3 Division that contained and attacked the enemy of Hongxi, while the Japanese army stationed the entire 6th Brigade in Hongxi, and the 061rd Regiment of the 3 Division generally focused on defense.

However, this does not mean that Huang Tingzhen has nothing to do with the Japanese army. After all, the battle has only been fought for a few hours, and the National Defense Forces are still in a tentative attack on the whole.In war, no one uses a unique move as soon as they come up.

Before Li Yangjing, the commander of the group army, sent out the battle reserve team, Huang Tingzhen was also thinking that it would not be difficult to defeat the 3rd division, but it would be very difficult to wipe it out completely. For the "blocking position" of the 062 division, it is very correct strategically, and tactically It also has a great effect, but don't think that the Japanese army will not be able to return to Shanghai.Compared with most armies in China, the Japanese army at this time is definitely a ferocious beast. In addition, the fighting area belongs to the Taihu Lake Basin. Not much can be done.

The question is, who can bear the consequences of this?

This is also the reason why Li Yangjing, the commander of the Sixth Army, was "frowning" all day.
