After all, Tan Tao also graduated from the sixth phase of Huangpu. He still understands this truth, but he is a little unable to change his mind and is unwilling to accept it.
"Lao Yan, in modern warfare, firepower wins. If one day we fight Yingjiang on the battlefield, will our troops still be able to adapt to this style of fighting?"
Yan Haoyu also fell into deep thought, because the current war model requires strong logistical support. Without the support system of Yingjiang, relying solely on the support capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, even with these modern equipment, supplies cannot be kept up for up to a week. Once you get up there, these advanced weapons are just a pile of scrap metal.
As senior generals, they have to think about these issues in advance. There is no long-term friendship between countries, only eternal interests.
When China's national interests collide with those of Yingjiang, no one can guarantee that the two sides will not go to war, and it may be China that gets bombed.
"Old Tan, Old Chu once said that it is never one or two new weapons that determine the success or failure of a war, but people!
Our foundation is the people's war. As long as we remain true to our true nature, stand closely with the people, believe in the people, and rely on the people, there will be no enemy that cannot be defeated!
At best, new tactics and weapons will only speed up the process of the war. What determines the outcome of the war is that the war we are currently engaged in is a war of independence and liberation for the Chinese nation, and a war against imperialist aggression;
We have the support of the broad masses of the people, but even without these weapons, we will still drive the little devils out of China. This is a historical necessity! "
"Old Tan, go ahead and lead the New Seventh Division into Chiang Mai City and completely and completely wipe out the Gou Ri Second Division. Victory belongs to the glorious Chinese Expeditionary Army!"
After Yan Haoyu finished speaking, he waved his hand, quite like a general. If Chu Xiong saw it, he would definitely kick him over.
What are you pretending to be?
In Chiang Mai City, the artillery fire began to spread, the loud bugle sounded, and the New 7th Division launched a general attack on Chiang Mai City. Tan Tao was indeed the master of big things, and he invested three regiments at the beginning;
The main two regiments moved down the river along both sides of the Bin River and attacked forward. The other regiment attacked from the west gate, leaving only one regiment in reserve.
The New 7th Division's attack was very fierce, and the Second Division was not to be outdone and started a street fight with the expeditionary force in the city.
The Japs of the Second Division were like mice, emerging from the ground one by one. The resilience of the Sendai Division was fully demonstrated under extremely difficult conditions.
They lay down in the ruins, shooting at the Chinese Expeditionary Force with their crude weapons, and exchanged three or even five people for one Chinese.
The New 7th Division is also an elite force that has fought a hundred battles. They use squads and platoons as units to form small assault groups, constantly intersecting and cutting.
First, along the river in the city, the entire city was cut into two disconnected halves;
Then the third regiment attacking from the flanks divided the eastern half of the city into two halves horizontally, and together with the second regiment, they carried out a zone-based clearing of the Japanese in the eastern half of the city. It was like eating a cake, eating one piece after cutting it off, constantly suppressing the activities of the Japanese in the city. space.
Since the expeditionary force adopted a grid-based approach to suppression, the Japanese were defeated one by one and cleared grid by grid. This method was very efficient and a large number of Japanese were eliminated. Although the method was a bit clumsy, it was very effective.
Street fighting tests the execution ability of an army the most, and only the truly elite can do it. For ordinary troops, the battle ends when the city is broken.
The troops of the New 7th Division are all veterans who have been trained in street fighting. Their squad and platoon tactics are an era ahead of the Japanese. Their firepower configuration and troop strength are superior to the Japanese, so their advantages are very obvious after a fight.
Deng Jianbo's squad performed well in the previous peripheral battles, annihilating many Japanese soldiers, and followed Jiang Xingfang's battalion to the forefront in street battles.
After the previous battle, there were only 8 people left in their squad. The company commander added 2 people to them, forming an inverted triangle attack formation. Their group was located on the left wing, only more than 20 meters apart from the right wing group, so they could support each other.
It was very quiet in the ruins, and there was no enemy in sight. It seemed that the Japanese were dead, but the experienced Deng Jianbo knew that the Japanese were hiding in a dark corner, like poisonous snakes, that could spring out and bite people at any time.
He gestured to others to be careful. He felt that he and his comrades had been targeted by the Japanese. He pointed the rifle in his hand at the suspicious location and fired two shots;
The lurking Japs thought the expeditionary force had discovered them. One Japs who lacked actual combat experience fell into his trap and reflexively fired back at Deng Jianbo. The bullets almost grazed Deng Jianbo's scalp and his marksmanship was not bad.
As soon as the soldiers in Deng Jianbo's squad heard the gunfire, they fell to the ground and escaped the hail of ghost bullets. Only one of them was slightly injured.
The sniper who was lagging behind quickly found the Japanese machine gunner. This was a machine gun with a crooked handle. It was about 300 meters away from him, just within his effective striking distance.
The Japanese machine gunner didn't even notice that he was being targeted by a sniper, but he was still firing wildly. The bullets hit the hiding place of Deng Jianbo and others, stirring up dust all over the sky.
Perhaps because of the excitement of being bombed, the Japanese machine gunner completely forgot about the danger and just used the machine gun to vent his frustration. He had never fought such a passive battle.
Other Japanese soldiers also opened fire wildly when they saw that the expeditionary force was suppressed by their machine gun fire, and they pinned Deng Jianbo's class to the ground and beat him.
A smile appeared on the sniper's face. He had successfully locked onto the Japs machine gunner. With a slight pull of the trigger, the bullet whizzed at high speed and hit the Japs machine gunner between the eyebrows;
Before the Japs could react, he fired another shot, hitting the deputy shooter who was rushing toward the machine gun.
"Bagaya Road, there is a magic hand!"
The Japanese squad leader shouted. He seemed to have forgotten that his squad was being targeted by a sniper, and he dared to dance. This was the biggest insult to the sniper Qi Liangliang.
Qi Liangliang was not used to his faults and shut him up with just one bullet.
At this time, another squad had already circled back to the Japs' flank, and they threw more than a dozen grenades towards the Japs' position.
After a series of explosions, most of the Japs in this unit fell into a pool of blood. Deng Jianbo and others pursued them and brought down the remaining three Japs.
Deng Jianbo habitually refilled the gun for every Japs lying on the ground. He would only feel relieved after the Japs had refinished their guns. As for the old history's instructions to capture more prisoners, it all depended on fate.
Deng Jianbo had never been close to the Japanese, so he never captured prisoners.
After the two squads cooperated to eliminate a Japanese detachment, they separated again and continued to search for the Japanese;
A dragnet-style crackdown will never let a single Japanese escape.
