"Reporting to the regiment, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 56th Army, Zhou Tianyi, is asking for an audience."
At this point, Old Abacus lowered his voice and said: "My wife asked me to bring him here. I think I have some relationship with Miss Tiedan. It's quite ambiguous, hehe!"
"Ah!"
Duanwu smiled slightly and said: "Then let him come in!"
"It's a group seat!"
Lao Abacus took the order and went out, but at a short time, Zhou Tianyi was brought in.
Zhou Tianyi changed his usual silly smile with his elder brother, and instead stood at attention with a solemn expression and saluted the Dragon Boat Festival: "Hello, Special Commissioner!"
"kindness!"
Duanwu nodded and returned the gift. This is the most basic quality of a soldier. Although Duanwu was still in a wheelchair at this time, he gave a grassroots officer the most basic respect.
Zhou Tianyi was a little excited at this time, after all, he finally met his idol.
Although this term is somewhat modern, it is undeniable that Duanwu is indeed someone Zhou Tianyi has admired for a long time.
He had heard the name Dragon Boat Festival a long time ago, and it started from the battle at Sihang Warehouse.
Just when everyone thought that the defeat of the Songhu Battle was certain and the Chinese soldiers were disgraced, the name of the Chinese madman appeared.
This man not only severely damaged the Japs at Sihang Warehouse, but he also broke through from the front of the Japs and almost took over the Japs' headquarters.
So in that battle, the Dragon Boat Festival became famous. When many young officers in the army saw the Dragon Boat Festival story published in the newspaper, each of them was excited.
After that, the Dragon Boat Festival battle made them even more excited!
Capture the Izumo and sweep across the Japanese fleet on the sea.
On the Wufu Line, the 40th Army held their own against the Japanese army for three days and nights, and prevented the Japanese army from taking an inch forward.
In the Battle of Xiejiaqiao, the Japanese 103rd Brigade was completely wiped out.
That battle really shocked many patriotic generals and completely shattered the myth of the Japanese army being undefeated.
But this was only the beginning. The scalpel-like battle outside Changshu shocked China and foreign countries.
During the Yushan Blockade, two Japanese brigades were defeated, and the Jiangyin Fortress became a nightmare for the Japanese army. Even the three heroes of the new generation of the Japanese army will not be able to hate the northwest because of this.
So all these scenes are affecting young officers like Zhou Tianyi. And this is the reason why Zhou Tianyi wanted to get close to Duanwu several times and did not hesitate to find connections to meet Duanwu.
Of course, Duanwu didn't know at this time that he had become Zhou Tianyi's idol. Instead, he asked: "Captain Zhou, do you have anything important to do when you come to my place?"
"hey-hey!"
Zhou Tianyi giggled, but suddenly felt that this was inappropriate, and then quickly stopped his smile and said: "Reporting to the special commissioner, I admire you and your tactics very much. So I saw the scouts of the Independent Regiment leaving the city, and I wanted to ask you for advice. Wait, what are you doing with the scouts you sent out? Is there going to be a war?"
Duanwu smiled and said, "Aren't we always at war?"
"What? We've been at war?"
Zhou Tianyi fell into thinking, and it took him a while to realize that what the special commissioner might be saying was that the Japs had been attacking, and even if there was a brief ceasefire, they could not be careless in the slightest.
So Zhou Tianyi said quickly: "The special commissioner is right, but I don't know where you want to fight. Well, our special first battalion is asking for a fight, and please rest assured, special commissioner, our special first battalion is all soldiers who can fight, and every one of them Not even afraid of death!"
"hehe!"
Duanwu chuckled lightly, and then said: "If you are not afraid of death, you can't fight blindly. When we fight against the Japs, in addition to inferior weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers, the most important thing is that our intelligence lags behind the Japanese. Many, too many.
Do you know how long the little devil has been brewing for this war? Twenty years ago, they already sent a large number of spies to China.
They infiltrated the Central Army openly and covertly, and they had people in every position of the local army, including some communications departments.
Therefore, our army's tactical deployment is often placed on the little devil's desk as soon as it is formulated. So how can we be invincible? "
Zhou Tianyi suddenly realized when he heard this: "If the special commissioner hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought of this. I always feel that we always lose. One is that the senior officers have poor command skills. Hehe, I'm not talking about my elder brother's command. The ability is not good. I am talking about Commander Han before, he gave random orders.
And there is more! It's just that the little devil's gun is accurate and his stabbing is very powerful. There are also aircraft and artillery. Their firepower is very fierce, and we lose now. "
Duanwu smiled and said: "Haha, this is just about the hardware. In fact, the weakest thing is about our software. If our senior officials could prepare for a rainy day and treat the eager Japanese as imaginary enemies, at the beginning of the 20th century, they would ask Japan If a large number of spies are infiltrated, there will be no September 18th.
Of course, things in the past are regrettable. What we need to do now is to correct this mistake.
And the war cannot wait. You look at it, the entire fifth theater is waiting. What are they waiting for? They were waiting for the little devil to come.
Hahaha, do you think it’s interesting? We clearly know that the enemy is preparing for war and they are about to attack, but we are waiting.
Think about it, you are inside the Japanese army and there are no intelligence personnel. You don’t know when the other side will take action. Are you just waiting here? Looking forward to it?
That little devil is not a fool. If you are well prepared, he will not attack. He will wait for you to let down your guard, then suddenly attack and catch you off guard.
Therefore, you can't wait when fighting. You must find the right time, take the initiative to attack, and catch your enemy by surprise. "
Hearing this, Zhou Tianyi nodded sharply, but then said regretfully: "But without orders from above, we can't use troops casually! You don't know, I was almost killed by my elder brother because of the fight against Japanese invaders. . Hehe, I ran away because I begged for mercy."
Duanwu nodded and said: "Yes, using troops without permission is indeed a taboo for military strategists. So I don't approve of you being like me.
This is like, you are a garrison force, and my independent regiment is a very mobile offensive force.
The attacking force is the killing knife. The knife cannot be hidden in the scabbard. If it is hidden in the scabbard, it will rust, become dull, and will gradually be corroded.
Therefore, it must be unsheathed and use the blood of its enemies to constantly sharpen its blade. Make yourself a weapon that frightens your enemies.
In other words, when fighting, you not only need a strong shield, but also a sharp arrow. Only in this way can you be invincible in the war!
I have advised you before that you cannot blindly defend in a war. You must have one or several highly survivable mobile troops to penetrate into the enemy's hinterland to carry out destruction.
The targets of destruction include the opponent's weapons and combat readiness transfer stations, military depots, command posts, and even the opponent's supplies, baggage troops, etc.
Don't look down on the opponent just because he is a small target, because in a war, where are there so many big targets for you to encounter casually?
Go to the enemy headquarters? Even if you know a rough location, it still takes two days or three days to find it. And by the time you find the enemy's headquarters, the battle will be over.
Therefore, the fastest and most effective combat strategy is to annihilate all visible small targets, even if he is a communications soldier, do not let them go.
Because they are likely to carry the information most needed by the front line. So if you kill a communications soldier, and the enemy on the front line does not receive this information, then we will lose a lot of lives.
So, is this small goal important?
And when you eliminate all the small targets, you will find that the damage you cause to the enemy will be much higher than if you destroyed the enemy's headquarters.
So what if the headquarters is destroyed? Killing a few senior officers might be a good thing for the other party.
Originally, the enemy only had a few stupid pigs in command. If you kill them and replace them with some smart ones, our losses will be even greater.
Therefore, killing these commanders is feasible under certain combat conditions, but in some specific circumstances, no, it should be the vast majority of cases. It is not as good as clearing these small targets to achieve greater results, and it is also easier! "
