War is an art, but those who depict it are not painters or artists, but soldiers and politicians.
Figures like He Yingqin belong to a collection of soldiers and politicians. His research on war is very deep. Although he did not study as deeply as senior military strategists such as Jiang Bailin, he was able to serve as an educator at the Whampoa Military Academy. Judging from his position, his military ability is by no means bad.
Zhang Tianhai picked up the baton and pointed at the location of Japan on the map, and then said, "Compared with Japan, although Japan is well-equipped with military equipment and powerful in combat, it has the disadvantages of a small territory, lack of resources, and a small population. It cannot be changed, so we trade space for time, mainly consume the enemy's effective strength, and persist in a protracted war of resistance is our only choice. Just like the Battle of Songhu that we fought before and the Battle of Nanjing that we are going to fight now, the previous At this stage, we must insist on focusing on large group and large corps battles to consume the enemy's effective strength. After the front is stretched, elite troops can be sent to penetrate behind the enemy's rear to harass the enemy's logistics and supplies, etc., and then coordinate with the frontline attack to achieve maximum success. It will greatly consume the enemy's effective strength. If there is an opportunity, the elite troops who have penetrated behind enemy lines can also be used to carry out beheading operations!"
He Yingqin nodded, and he agreed with Zhang Tianhai, "Yes, the current situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak cannot be changed in a short time. As you said, it is correct to launch a campaign that mainly consumes the enemy's effective strength. But I want to hear what you mean by this beheading operation?"
Zhang Tianhai paused, collected his thoughts, and then said, "Beheading operation, as the name suggests, is a military operation with the ultimate goal of taking the head of an enemy general. When the enemy engages in large-scale military operations with our army, it is extremely difficult to There may be the possibility of exposing the headquarters. This elite force can take the opportunity to carry out precise strikes on the enemy's headquarters to paralyze the enemy's combat command system. At that time, the troops facing us can take the opportunity to carry out large-scale attacks on the enemy. Counterattack and defeat the enemy one by one."
"Then according to your understanding, what size should be appropriate for this elite force to penetrate into the enemy's rear?" He Yingqin asked rhetorically.
"The strength of about one regiment is appropriate. If there are too many targets, the target will be too large and easy for the enemy to detect. If the number is small, it will not be able to form effective lethality on the target. Instead, it will alert the enemy and lead to the failure of the operation." Zhang Tianhai said with certainty.
After listening to Zhang Tianhai's words, He Yingqin stood in front of the map and pondered for a long time. After about three minutes, he asked, "If your regiment is to serve as this elite unit to harass the enemy's rear, if you are the commander, what will you do?" What kind of support will be needed?”
Anyway, it is unlikely that this kind of combat method can be realized at this time, so just think of it as bragging, so Zhang Tianhai let go, "First, we must ensure the smooth communication and battlefield information, and whether it is reasonable." Timely capture of fighter planes has a great relationship with smooth communication and timely updates of battlefield information; second, the equipment must be well-equipped to ensure that the battle can be resolved in the shortest time and achieve strategic goals; third, it is the cooperation of friendly forces. Without the cooperation of friendly forces, relying on such a small force alone, the chance of success is slim. In short, it is three words, 'fast, ruthless, and accurate'!"
He Yingqin had heard of this kind of combat concept before, but he didn't delve into it. After all, the strength of the squadron in this era is still too weak. Only quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes. There is not even quantity, so why come into contact with qualitative changes? So he didn't delve into this concept at that time.
"If your unit's target is exposed and the enemy discovers your unit and encircles it, how will you deal with it?" He Yingqin asked again.
"First of all, we need to break out of the encirclement. If we can break out of the encirclement at the weak point of the enemy's encirclement, that would be the best. If we can't break out, there are two results. The first is to target the enemy's encirclement. You can Report to the headquarters to see if we can form a larger encirclement of the enemies surrounding our unit, and then the center will blossom; the second result is that our unit will humble itself, or the whole regiment below the humble level will die for the country!" Zhang Tianhai said at the end His tone was very serious. If such a day comes, he will definitely sacrifice his life to repay his family and country.
After listening to Zhang Tianhai's words, He Yingqin remained silent and just thought quietly, seeming to be making some difficult decisions. A cadre at his level must think twice before making any decision. After all, his decision is not made by him alone. One of his decisions may determine several regiments or even several divisions. people's future and destiny.
After a long time, He Yingqin finally said, "The Ordnance Department still has the last batch of German weapons and equipment, which should be able to arm your regiment. Your regiment is basically all veterans who have been on the battlefield. As long as they are properly trained, their combat effectiveness should be strong." Weak. You are a smart man and a young officer with great ideas. I hope that by entrusting you with this directly-affiliated German Arms Reinforcement Group, you can make a good show. Don’t embarrass me, He Jingzhi!"
"Yes! The students will definitely live up to the high expectations of the education chief and turn the direct regiment into an elite regiment that dares to fight and can fight hard!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted excitedly. He thought that he would not have to die if he came here. I also had to shed a layer of skin, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
A full-style German weapon reinforcement group? Isn't this the same treatment as the teaching corps and the 36th Division, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division? A newly established reinforcement group with nothing suddenly transformed into a moral weapon reinforcement group? So the combat effectiveness is not that bad at all...
"Don't be too happy too soon. You have to be more careful about your temper in the future. Like this time you went to rob someone's shelter of the defeated troops. If I hadn't helped you take care of it, you kid would have done it. I have offended everyone in the 74th Army. The more than 2,700 defeated troops you have snatched back from the army were originally supposed to be supplied to the 74th Army, which also withdrew from the front line. Now I have no choice but to withdraw from the front line. The Fifth Theater has allocated a supplementary regiment to the Seventy-Fourth Army. If you behave like this again, you will know the consequences." He Yingqin warned Zhang Tianhai again. He was just afraid that this kid was too young. What would he do? There is no way to do it. Sooner or later, you will be ruined.
"Thank you to the director for your concern. The students understand. There will never be a next time!" This thank you was from Zhang Tianhai's heart. It offended everyone in the 74th Army. There was no good harvest in that, even if it was Chief He. I took it on because I cherished my talent, but after all, it was also my heartfelt wish.
"Well, let's do this at noon tomorrow. I will send people to transport weapons, equipment and uniforms to your regiment. By then, your troops should have absorbed these defeated troops, right?" He Yingqin asked.
"Report to the Director of Education. The students will definitely absorb these defeated troops before noon tomorrow and will not cause any trouble to the Director of Education!" Zhang Tianhai vowed that when it is time to stand up, he must stand up. Never be timid when you are hard.
