Dragon Boat Festival's tactics almost caused the two veteran commanders to collapse. They have always believed that the most important thing about staying in Changshu is the word 'shou'.
After guarding Changshu for two days, those who are still alive can evacuate Changshu.
But unexpectedly, in the eyes of the young commissioner, this was an excellent opportunity to hunt down the Japanese soldiers. By borrowing defensive fortifications, they set a trap for the Japanese army and staged a scene of pulling out teeth from the tiger's mouth.
Crazy?
This is simply crazy. A defensive battle should turn into a battle of annihilation. It is crazy to think about it.
Of course, Chen Yong and Officer Xiao would never have imagined that the special correspondent Duan Wu in front of them was originally synonymous with madman.
At this time, he has not really gone crazy, and when Dragon Boat Festival really becomes crazy, it will be called the devil's nightmare.
At the same time, the village major was really angry. Two of his own shells hit him, but the other party continued to dig trenches after the artillery fire stopped.
"Baga, blast me with artillery fire. I want to see how strong the Chinese position is. Give me two more bases."
"Hi!"
The little Japanese ordered the soldiers to go down and deliver the order, and then twelve mortars from the Japanese army once again violently bombarded the position on the right wing of Changshu.
Cannonballs fell like raindrops, and huge explosions occurred one after another.
But at this time, due to their previous experience, everyone hid in the bomb shelter as soon as the cannon fired, and they were completely unscathed.
Someone even sang a song, laughing at the little devil's incompetence.
The Japanese artillery shells once again lost their effect. Unless they fell accurately into the trenches, they would never be able to hit the Chinese soldiers hiding in the bomb shelters.
The two base shells were quickly fired, and the Chinese soldiers came out of the trenches again to expand the defensive positions.
The Japs from this village felt like their lungs were about to explode as they looked at the rising soil.
"Bagaya Road, the cunning Chinese people actually dug the trenches so deep that our artillery shells had no effect at all. How can we test the enemy's firepower?"
The village was very angry, but at this time, a captain officer volunteered: "Your Excellency, I am willing to lead my first squadron to dig out all these nasty rats."
Although I am arrogant, I am not a fool. There will be an open area of 300 meters in front of the enemy's right-wing position. If they charge forward, the battle situation will be very unfavorable to the imperial army.
"I can understand your request for a fight, but you have to know that this open space is very disadvantageous for the imperial army. If you charge head-on, at this distance of 300 meters, you will be sieved by the Chinese machine guns. You Do you understand?"
Motomura admonished his subordinate, the captain officer, who stood at attention and bowed, as if he knew he was wrong.
But at this moment, the squadron leader of the Second Squadron stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency, our Second Squadron can provide support to Nanshan Jun. We use sacks filled with soil to build temporary bunkers for Nanshan Jun's stormtroopers. . In this way, we will win step by step and we will definitely be able to charge forward."
"Youhe, you have a good idea. Then the second squadron will cooperate with the first squadron to charge to the enemy, and I will let the artillery cover you. As soon as the empire's artillery fires, the Chinese will crawl in like rats. In a hole in the ground. Hahaha!"
The Japs from this village laughed wildly, and at the same time, the First Infantry Squadron and the Second Infantry Squadron under the Honmura Brigade began to charge.
The first squadron is composed of all combatants, while in the second squadron, many soldiers do not even carry weapons. Each of them carried a sandbag to use as a bunker on the charge.
Staff Officer Xiao saw the Japs' intentions and said nervously: "Special Commissioner, the Japs may be preparing to attack by force."
Duanwu smiled and said: "Isn't this exactly what we want to see? Also, shouldn't you do your thing?"
"clear!"
Staff Officer Xiao bowed slightly and left with his guards. Obviously he has more important things than this battle.
At this time, Chen Yong was also using binoculars to watch the Japanese charging with sandbags and weapons.
These little devils were really well-trained. After advancing a distance of 150 meters, they began to build a machine gun position.
The infantry was divided into multiple combat groups, continued to advance to a distance of 100 meters from the Chinese position, and once again used sandbags to build infantry defenses.
At the same time, the Japanese artillery was bombing our positions indiscriminately.
Chen Yongyong said: "How many artillery shells does this little devil have? Their artillery shells always seem to be endless."
Duanwu said: "This is the gap between the military strength of Japan and ours. We in China started too late. Many weapons are either imitations or imported. On the contrary, the little devils have already manufactured a complete set of weapons and equipment by themselves.
But it doesn't matter. Whoever has better equipment may not necessarily win in a war. Even if we still use cold weapons today, we still have a chance to win. "
"··············"
Chen Yong was speechless and thought to himself: Are you exaggerating a bit? It is indeed a bit exaggerated to win with cold weapons.
However, even in modern warfare, there are still examples of using cold weapons to kill soldiers with live ammunition.
Of course, this requires some specific conditions. And using cold weapons to kill people does not mean that you cannot seize the opponent's weapons.
And that’s what the Dragon Boat Festival means. Using cold weapons to kill the enemy, seize the opponent's weapons, and then counterattack the enemy can be called tactics.
And when facing a powerful enemy, as a general, if you don't know how to adapt, you will be the executioner. He is the executioner who kills his own men.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the enemy is, a good commander can still turn the tide of the battle.
Of course, this requires more advanced thinking to support it.
Continuous defeats do not mean that the people at that time were stupid, but that their knowledge was too narrow at that time.
Just imagine, people at that time had nothing to do with the Internet, computers, or television. Even if it is a book, not everyone may have a copy.
If you want to know about major events at home and abroad, you can only learn about them from newspapers. The textbooks studied are also limited to basic subjects such as Chinese and mathematics.
Even at that time, anyone who could write a few words was considered a college student and was entrusted with important responsibilities.
So in an era when knowledge is so scarce, how difficult would it be to innovate tactics?
When they got the outdated military textbooks from Europe, they all felt that they were the most advanced tactics at the time, and they followed the instructions step by step and studied them eagerly.
They felt that by following the knowledge in books, they would be able to defeat the Japanese.
It's just that they don't know that European military textbooks are summarized based on Europe's military strength.
But what did China have at that time? Does China have the concept of mechanized corps? Or will China equip every combat unit with heavy fire support?
This is simply a joke. Without heavy fire support and air force cover, the strategies and tactics in European textbooks are so feeble! ...
