The village hall was sometimes quiet, sometimes with loud applause.
The assessment of the rotation training team went smoothly, and the combat plans were various and strange. At this time, they were put together and the political commissar had already collected them.
Captain Liu is reading out the papers quickly one by one, making brief comments and occasionally discussing them.
Fortunately, most people don't write many words and read out quickly. There are only a few elements of guerrilla warfare, and the focus is on the level of the commander.
This attracted continuous applause and ridicule from the densely packed students below.
Breaking attack, running attack, surprise attack, night attack, harassment, blocking, ambush, different tactics are naturally chosen according to the environment due to different combat purposes.
The goal of the rotation training team is to eliminate the current group of Japs. The two sides are equally numerous, so of course they can only choose the ambush they are good at.
When planning an ambush, you must consider the elements of the ambush. Most students focus on analyzing the ambush!
Captain Liu is summarizing the choice of combat environment: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger! Therefore, you can't fight if you don't know the enemy's situation, don't fight if the terrain is bad, don't fight if you're not sure, don't fight tough battles, don't fight positional warfare, don't fight wars of attrition, and don't fight hand-to-hand combat!"
The students grabbed their pens and frowned as they recorded and thought.
"In actual combat, using ambushes to attack Japanese soldiers on the move can achieve greater victory at a lower cost. The important methods of ambush are to ambush and lure ambush. No matter which method is used, one must first detect the enemy's strength and movements!
Waiting for an ambush is relatively passive and requires a lot of scouts. They must figure out the enemy's movements in advance, judge the path the enemy must pass, and calculate the enemy's passage time. According to the enemy's marching shape, we use the favorable terrain to set up an ambush in advance and wait to annihilate it. enemy!
Lure and ambush uses the main force to set up an ambush on a pre-selected favorable terrain, and uses some of the targets that the Japanese are interested in to lure the enemy into the bait. After the Japanese enter the ambush circle, they suddenly concentrate their firepower and deal a heavy blow. This method will achieve the greatest results, and our casualties will be higher. Reduced to the lowest level⋯
Or you can concentrate your forces and pretend to attack an enemy point, lure nearby Japanese troops to come for reinforcements, set up an ambush on the only way the enemy reinforcements must pass, and conduct a new ambush battle, which is often called encircling a point for reinforcements, and use a variety of tactics..."
Captain Liu has a solid theory and continues to describe: "Reasonably allocate troops, calculate firepower deployment, analyze the target's marching direction and route, and base it on the actual situation and battlefield conditions.
The troop deployment is divided into three parts: side attack, blocking attack, and tail attack. The side attack is the main part, combined with the tactics of blocking the head, cutting the waist, and cutting off the tail!
It is not easy to lay an ambush on the plains. No matter which method is used, it can effectively kill the enemy, preserve one's own strength, and launch it when necessary. Let's talk about the deployment of troops and firepower..."
After an assessment summary class, there was constant applause.
Captain Liu took a few sips of water and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "The summary will be distributed and distributed. Please stop for a moment. There is no need to record it. Comrades have been fighting in the hail of bullets for many years. Let's discuss the battle plan based on the current reality!"
"Hehe, it's not difficult at all. The Japs are heading east. Their retreat destination is clear. They must go to the supply point first. So, can't we just find a place to ambush them on their way?" A The black-faced leader spoke first.
"If you act like that, we have to operate in broad daylight. The Japanese soldiers are not vegetarians. They are likely to be exposed. I think we should ambush them!" A middle-aged man spoke.
"It's better to wait in ambush. The Japs are unprepared. Just connect the supply point with the Japs' current position in a straight line and find a suitable position on the straight line!" Each speaker had his or her own opinion.
"We are marching in this horrible weather. The soldiers have physical problems. It is unrealistic to wait in ambush!"
"Actually, I think this village is the best place for an ambush. It's just a pity that it's a little far off the path of the Japanese!"
""⋯
The political commissar spoke: "We sent people to detect the movements of the Japs early in the morning and found that the Japs set out at dawn, but they did not go very long. After the sun rose in the sky, they stopped marching. Now they are marching. It’s parked in a village more than 20 miles south, so it’s not difficult to lure them here.”
"Looking at this situation, after the Japanese entered the plains, they planned to hide during the day and travel at night!"
"You're right, marching under the scorching sun on a hot day, the Japanese are not that stupid!"
"Hey, let me tell you, doesn't this little devil like to sweep up? Then why don't we send people to let them find out on purpose and wait for them to sweep up?"
"It makes sense. When the enemy advances, we retreat. When the enemy stops, we harass him. If we arrange for people to hit him a few times, the Japanese will definitely catch up. Let the soldiers lure the Japanese to this village. Isn't that what it is?"
"Isn't the team outside the village burning a fire? The Japs will certainly not be able to see the smoke they make. Therefore, I suggest that people burn a few fires outside the Japs' troops. Maybe there is no need to send people at all. We only need to disguise the village. Once the village becomes inhabited, the Japanese may come over."
"What if we just wait here for the Japs to come? What if only some of the Japs come? There are so many of us, and we have a lot of weapons and ammunition. Would it be interesting to fight against dozens or twenty Japs?"
"That's right. We have to ensure that all the Japanese squadrons come to this village. Otherwise, if we don't sum up for a long time and just pluck a few hairs from the Japanese, can we still go on with this combat assessment?"
"What the political commissar said is that you can't rely on luck in a war, you must have a careful plan. The Japs must have posted sentries, and they are not far from our current position. Therefore, as long as we are fully prepared and pretend to have ordinary people, I think the Japs will I will definitely come and take a trip, because the supply point they go to here, even if it takes a little detour to our side, it won’t be much longer!”
"Although we have strong firepower, the comrades who will participate in the training this time will bring many short guns. It is best to conduct an ambush in the village, which can reduce casualties!" Captain Liu knocked on the table: "Then let's discuss now. How to attract the Japs here! Without letting the Japs feel that there is an ambush here."
"You can't have too many people, but you can't have too few, otherwise the Japanese might look down on you. It's best to have ordinary people."
"Aren't the district teams outside the village just ready-made common people?"
The ninth company of the independent regiment and the district team who were digging the well naturally came into the sight of the others.
Let the district team pretend to be ordinary people, and the Ninth Company will be responsible for acting as a cover, deliberately letting the Japanese find out, and you don't need too many people!
"What time is it now?" Captain Liu asked the political commissar behind him who was wearing a watch.
The political commissar took out a pocket watch and glanced at it: "Eleven forty."
"We originally had more than 100 people, plus people from the district team and the independent group, there are almost 200 people. In terms of numbers, we have an advantage."
The political commissar added: "I would like to remind you that Chief of Staff Li ordered us to avoid direct combat with the enemy as much as possible and to preserve our organization and strength."
Captain Liu said without hesitation: "With this fight, we may be able to attract and contain the enemies on the plains. At the same time, the Japanese troops who have entered the mountains will definitely come over for reinforcements. Then we can reduce the pressure on the division headquarters." The pressure from the side.!”
"Political Commissar, listen, there are still gunfire in the mountains. During this time, the gunfire in the mountains has been non-stop day and night. Everyone is worried about the safety of the division headquarters and the commander. Hey, captain, you haven't fought in many days. My hands are itchy.”
"So what? Didn't you see that the comrades also made an analysis and summary? Everyone has made a preliminary judgment. First of all, the enemy used pigeons to convey the information. We also need to consider the issue of the enemy calling for reinforcements. However, the group of devils in front of us should There is only one unit, and they ended the mopping up plan ahead of schedule. So, the Japs in this squadron will be the vanguard to explore the way back during the retreat. There are more than a hundred people. We have many people, and we are planning an ambush. Everyone here is... Deputy battalion commander and instructor or above! If you can’t even deal with these devils, you might as well go back to Milkman!”
"I think as long as the Japs can enter the village, the 38-gauge rifle is too long and not very easy to use in the village. We have many short guns. Even if the Japs have better marksmanship than us, as long as they can enter the village, the result... Hehe, don't say anything. But Yu!"
