At this time, there was a scene of joy in Sihang Warehouse.
Whether they are real veterans of the Central Army such as Yang Deyu, Zhu Shengzhong or Wu Jie, or the miscellaneous troops who later temporarily joined the 88th Division, they are all like a dream at this moment.
Actually repelled the Japanese attack again? He actually defended Sihang Warehouse again?
You must know that the Japanese's attack involved hundreds of people, more than a dozen tanks and dozens of artillery. They also launched a siege from three directions: Guangfu Road, Guoqing Road and the ruins on the west side. This formation is really not good. The average size is almost as big as that of Luodian and large stores.
There is a saying that when the battle first started, everyone panicked and felt that it was about to end.
However, the progress of the battle was completely beyond their expectations. After fighting for only an hour, the Japanese abandoned nearly a hundred corpses and retreated in despair. Sihang Warehouse remained unmoved.
"Have you ever noticed that the Japanese seem to have suddenly become invincible?"
"I also feel that the enemy's combat effectiveness has plummeted in the past two days."
"No, we used to fight for ten days and a half and couldn't kill a few Japanese, but what about these two days? Including today's, at least two hundred were killed."
"In addition to the Japanese infantry, ten tanks were also destroyed."
"There are also flat-firing cannons. Two flat-firing cannons were also captured!"
"Brother Yan also said that he killed a Japanese major general, but I don't know whether it is true or not..."
Listening to the heated discussion among the veterans, Yang Deyu, Zhu Shengzhong and Wu Jie also felt a little emotional.
Of course Yang Deyu and the others knew the reason. In fact, it was not that the Japanese became invincible, nor that the combat effectiveness of their national army suddenly became stronger. The reason why the Sixings Warehouse battlefield changed like this was entirely because of the serious addition. Not only is this guy an accurate shot, he also has night vision.
And the tactical command is also extremely sophisticated.
No matter how critical the situation is, we can handle it calmly.
No matter how complicated or serious the situation is, it can be analyzed simply and clearly.
Wu Jie suddenly felt that if Yan Yan continued to command, they might really be able to jump out of the chessboard and become chess players. He even couldn't wait to see such a scene.
Just in time, Yan Yan came down from the fifth floor with his little yellow robe.
"Lao Yan." Wu Jie quickly waved and said hello, "Come and have a rest."
"Are you all here?" Yan Yan came over with a FAL automatic rifle, sat down on the sofa, and asked, "Are the sentries ready? The little devils are more cunning than you think. The most important thing to watch out for is that they just When you are defeated, I might backhand you again and catch you off guard."
"You don't need to remind me about this." Yang Deyu said angrily.
During the two battles with the Japanese in Shanghai, the 88th Division suffered heavy losses.
Wu Jie also said: "Lao Yang has sent out sentries a long time ago, and so has the East Tower."
The Japs never attacked the East Building from the beginning to the end. Yang Deyu also sent a sentry to the East Building, not only to prevent the Japs from unexpectedly attacking the East Building, but more importantly to protect against the merchant groups from all over the world.
After all, Yan Yan used foreign journalists to threaten the concession.
Therefore, Yang Deyu was more cautious and guarded against the merchant group from all over the world.
Yan Yan smiled and patted Yang Deyu on the shoulder: "Not bad, there is progress."
Yang Deyu rolled his eyes and asked: "Will the Japanese launch a larger-scale attack next? Or will they directly bring in heavy artillery to bombard the Sixing Warehouse?"
Hearing this, the hall on the second floor became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Yan.
"No." Faced with everyone's nervous gazes, he shook his head sternly and said, "Don't worry, the Japs will not be able to launch a larger-scale attack because the cost-effectiveness ratio has been seriously unbalanced. Although the Japs high-level officials don't care about the lives of the Japs' soldiers, But they won’t do anything that’s too cost-effective, and as for heavy artillery, they don’t dare, at least not now.”
As a time traveler, Yan Yan knows that the top brass of the Japs are not monolithic. The northern faction and the southern faction have been engaged in a fierce game, and it is difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.
Therefore, the Japanese will not break up with Miying and Ying for the time being.
Yang Deyu asked again: "Are we going to repair the gap next?"
"No, repairing the gap in broad daylight is not asking for death." Yan Yan flatly objected.
Although the Japs withdrew, the Japs snipers lurking in the ruins outside did not retreat. Once the national troops emerged from the gap, they would most likely be shot in the head.
Wu Jie said: "Then what should we do? Just eat and sleep?"
Yan Yan frowned, just eating and sleeping would definitely not be enough.
What are you most afraid of as a soldier? What I fear most is not fighting, but being idle.
Because people tend to have random thoughts when they are free, and accidents are easy to happen when they think randomly.
Either they desert and become deserters, or they vent their negative emotions on their comrades and get into fights. It is even more troublesome if there is a chance to come into contact with lesbians, so the soldiers cannot be left idle and must find something to do for them.
But there is no sports equipment here, and boxing or something like that doesn't seem suitable.
Looking across Wu Jie, Yan Yan suddenly thought of the fine traditions of our army.
Now he stared at Wu Jie severely and said: "Literacy, literacy!"
"Literacy, literacy?" Wu Jie looked stunned.
Yang Deyu and Zhu Shengzhong also looked at each other.
Isn't that what the Communist Army has always done?
…
Knowing that the general offensive had once again failed miserably, Hasegawa Kiyoshi called a halt again.
At 10 a.m., Hasegawa Kiyoshi drove to the Bank of Communications warehouse.
Arriving in the same car as Kiyoshi Hasegawa was a lieutenant colonel who had just returned from studying in Germany.
Although he had been mentally prepared for it, Kiyoshi Hasegawa still felt a little unbelievable when he saw the casualties and the list of fallen soldiers just calculated by the Special Marines.
One hundred and three more Marines were killed in action?
Among them are two senior military officers, Taka Morita and Yoshida Yasuda.
That's all Taka Morita, but Yoshida Yasuda was the acting commander of the Special Marine Corps, and he was killed on the Shihang Warehouse battlefield less than a day after he became the acting commander?
This is the second commander of the Special Marine Corps killed in action.
This is really scary. Is Sihang Warehouse really so difficult to defeat?
Isn't it just a platoon with more than fifty national troops? The Marine Corps has invested so much troops and equipment. Even if it is more than fifty iron walnuts, they should be smashed, right?
As a result, instead of being smashed, it actually collapsed itself?
…
Wu Jie murmured while painting the wall with lime: "Old Yan, is this necessary?"
"Of course it is necessary." Yan Yan said, whether literacy is useful, our military has the best say.
To be more specific, the 50th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers on the Korean battlefield has the most say.
The predecessor of the 50th Army was the Yunnan Army. It participated in the War to Protect the Country, the Northern Expedition, the Anti-Japanese War, the War of Liberation, and the Korean War. However, its performance in the previous four wars was unsatisfactory, except in the fifth war, which was the Korean War. A highlight moment that attracted worldwide attention.
From the National Defense War to the Korean War, the main body of the 50th Army has almost remained unchanged, and all the commanders have remained in office.
But why did it perform unsatisfactory in the first four wars and then go crazy in the fifth war?
Did the soldiers' fighting will suddenly become stronger? No, because the 60th Army, the predecessor of the 50th Army, also fought very bravely on the anti-Japanese battlefield. In the Battle of Yuwangshan in the Battle of Xuzhou, the 60th Army defended for more than 20 days and suffered tens of thousands of casualties. One army almost died. They were almost all gone, but they didn’t take even half a step back!
The 60th Army of the National Army defended Yuwang Mountain, which can be said to be as heroic as the 50th Army of the Volunteer Army defending the Han River.
However, the Nationalist Army's 60th Army only fought tragically at Yuwang Mountain, while the Volunteer Army's 50th Army fought vigorously at the Han River. The Miguo soldiers who were armed to the teeth felt deep despair.
Putting aside the gap in high-level decision-making, let’s just talk about the combat troops themselves. They are obviously the same group of people, and even the senior generals have not been changed. Why is there such a huge contrast?
The main reason is that the grassroots cadres of the 50th Army of the Volunteer Army are more educated, better at using their brains, and stronger in execution than the grassroots officers of the 60th Army of the National Army.
They love to use their brains when fighting and have strong execution ability. This is the magic weapon for the volunteers to win.
The glory of the Korean War cannot be achieved simply by relying on the word "brave" or not being afraid of death.
The peak of the light infantry is by no means dependent on human lives, but requires the creative execution of grassroots cadres as the foundation.
Where do the creativity and execution capabilities of grassroots cadres come from? The secret is to eliminate illiteracy and teach grassroots cadres to read.
