Before, whether he was under Marshal Liu or Marshal Feng, he was just a small battalion commander and could not participate in the decision-making level at all.
Now he is no longer a screw in the factory, but a member of the decision-making team. Once he starts talking, he can't stop talking.
“Moreover, I think this method is very feasible.
If the Outer Mongolians who have already gone south want to come back for reinforcements, we only need to expand the scope of investigation in advance, get the news in advance, and carry out snipers midway, and we will definitely be able to catch them off guard.
Secondly, setting up a strategic point in Pingqian Tun can also serve as a transfer station for our cavalry. We can send a ranger to plunder from time to time.
Once the opponent's team transporting supplies to the north is detected, they can quickly pounce and intercept their supplies. "
After saying that, Zhang Kai couldn't help but rub his chin, picked up the hot milk tea and took a big sip, with a look of unfinished content on his face.
Regardless of whether what he said was right or not, several people present nodded secretly after hearing this. It seemed that the feasibility was indeed very high.
As expected of a professional, it is indeed a set of things to say.
Even Zhao Ming couldn't help but nod secretly for Zhang Kai.
But he overlooked one thing. They were thinking about how to deal with the Outer Mongols, and the Outer Mongols were also discussing how to deal with their thorn.
The elite of the Outer Mongols are not just cats and dogs.
The former leader Bao Tangzuo was a noble from Outer Mongolia. Zhao Ming could laugh at their nobles for being weak, but he could never laugh at the cavalry raised by an entire noble family.
Just like Bao Tang Zuoling, he was really not very smart, but his tenacious will to fight to the death surprised him.
And this is just the artillery commander who is the most ill-prepared in the Qiyan Department. If it were a regular cavalry commander...
Zhao Ming couldn't help but think of the cavalry battle between the Outer Mongolians and the Japanese in the Battle of Nomenhan in later generations.
The most elite division of the Kwantung Army went north to Outer Mongolia, and the favorite general of the division leader Komatsubara, Higashibabaizo, participated in the battle.
The troops led by Higashikata Hyakuzo are not second-rate troops. They are definitely first-rate among the Toyo cavalry. Moreover, they also brought a large amount of heavy firepower, even tanks and armored vehicles, and aircraft reinforcements in this battle.
Many of the Japanese divisions in the 1939 period had extremely rich combat experience, and this army was still the elite among the elite.
The heavy firepower, tanks and aircraft were held back by the Russian army, and he began to play cavalry hand-to-hand combat with the Outer Mongols. The result was that he was directly involved in the game.
The vanguard lost, and the Japanese were still unconvinced. The second phase of the war continued, with 75,000 troops invested in a deadly fight with the Russian Outer Mongolians. As a result, the defeat was even more complete.
Comparing firepower, their tanks were like small broken boxes and like a thin layer of paper in front of the large Russian tanks.
Compared with hand-to-hand combat, the other party would kill them as if they were children.
It's not that the Japanese are not good at hand-to-hand combat. In fact, on the domestic battlefield, everyone in the early Japanese army was well-trained in bayonet skills, so they were almost invincible in hand-to-hand combat.
In the later period, as the country began to pay attention to hand-to-hand combat, the situation turned for the better.
But it is undeniable that the elite of the Outer Mongols cannot be underestimated.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ming nodded, first agreeing with some of Zhang Kai's views.
Immediately, Zhao Ming said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhang, your plan is good, but don't forget it. Do I really have a lot of people now?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Kai immediately wanted to refute, but he choked as soon as he opened his mouth.
Is it much?
At first glance, it seems that there are quite a lot of them. Including the prisoners, there are already 15,000 to 6,000 people.
But what about removing prisoners? What about excluding non-combatants?
It seems that there are only more than 1,700 people, and some of the artillery leaders were lost in the attack last night.
With such a small number of people, it makes sense to divide the troops, but how many people are there on the other side? A total of 20,000 people.
If the other party is determined to deal with them and besiege them from both sides, then Huozhongtun and Pingqiantun will become two isolated islands.
If you want to gain a foothold in Pingqian Tun from the beginning, at least most of the heavy firepower must be deployed in Pingqian Tun. Otherwise, there will be fewer people and less firepower. The army stationed in Pingqian Tun will be given to the Outer Mongols. A piece of fat.
"Okay! It seems that Brother Zhang has listened. Let me ask you again, do we have a lot of ammunition and shells now?"
These words completely made Zhang Kai dumbfounded.
A bunch of guys who don't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are.
Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and then said angrily,
"Let's put it this way, during last night's battle, many of the weapons in the brothers' hands were turned into fire sticks, and there were not enough bullets. Now when they are divided evenly, each person only has enough bullets for five!
What can five bullets do? "
As he spoke, Zhao Ming glared at Zhang Kai fiercely.
"Brother Zhang, you are very generous! Of those machine guns and cannons seized last night, did you have a lot of bullets and shells?
It was just an artillery leader station that must be captured. You set up three machine guns and the position was almost captured. You just wasted a full 600 bullets on me!
And later I asked you to set up defenses around the old site of Darhan, but I asked you to fire off cannons? "
"This... isn't this to scare away those Mongols! But it doesn't take a few rounds, just eighteen..." Zhang Kai couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Zhao Ming's eyes widened and he said coldly, "Only eighteen? There are only fifty left in this thing. Okay, now this thing is basically a large fire stick after two or three rounds."
He also said that he would garrison Pingqiantun and strangle the opponent's neck? Tell me, after all the bullets and cannonballs have been fired, how can we choke their necks?
Do you want your brothers to fight them with knives? "
"Then...that's not impossible..."
"Haha! Okay! Brother Zhang, you don't think that after winning a few battles, the Outer Mongolians will be so easy to deal with, do you?"
As he spoke, Zhao Ming turned to look at the rest of the group, "And you! You don't think we can defeat the Outer Mongols in hand-to-hand combat, do you?"
Regarding this, everyone actually thinks that it is not hopeless.
After all, we have won too many times in the past, and now everyone is a little a little bit distraught.
But at this time, Zhao Ming had to put the brakes on everyone.
"Indeed, we have won many times before. You have also seen the interrogation of prisoners. They are just second-rate troops, and the real elite have not yet taken action.
You can have a real celebration if you want, but not now!
Now I just want to say that everyone should cheer up. Outer Mongolia has a large number of people. They can fail many times, but our one failure is the end! "
As he spoke, Zhao Ming's expression became more solemn, he looked around, paused briefly, and then continued in a deep voice,
“You must understand that more than a thousand of us not only have to guard against foreign enemies, we also have to guard against these prisoners!
Every time we move out from now on, we must leave at least three to four hundred people to guard the base, otherwise you will know the consequences very well.
With the few remaining people, how can we confront the Mongolians head-on? "
After hearing this, everyone already understood what Zhao Ming meant.
indeed!
Nowadays, prisoners are also a big problem. Thousands of prisoners are still strong laborers. Even if they don't have weapons, once they join forces to make trouble, if they can't suppress it with a small number of people, there will definitely be trouble!
This is an affirmation!
