"It must be Gao Jianwu who is so energetic in his work! Four little devils from the division actually killed him as soon as he said he would do it! No comparison, no comparison!" Li Yunlong said with a grin, but there was no trace of regret in his tone. Quite a bit triumphant, as if he had won the battle.
Because in name, both Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu still hold positions in the Ping'an Military Division, and they are still old comrades-in-arms.
"Aren't you quite capable? What did you tell me before, that with the tank cluster in your hands, you could conquer the world? How about now? You're a bit blind to the main force of the little devils like Fengtian. "The brigadier shook his head and retorted.
"But I found that Gao Jianwu's fighting style is really weird, and he often fights incredible magical battles.
Logically speaking, this battle in Siping cannot be that easy. After all, the Japs dispatched four divisions and more than 50,000 people. If we had a tank cluster and an artillery cluster, coupled with air force bombing, it would not be unusual to achieve such a high battle loss ratio.
But Gao Jianwu only had 5 artillery battalions, and the main artillery was actually a bit weaker than the Japs. The Air Force just launched a wave of bombings, but Gao Jianwu completely suppressed the opponent's artillery. We all have to learn this skill. Not coming. "
After confronting Li Yunlong, the brigade commander couldn't help but praise Gao Jianwu.
The weak defeated the strong and killed four reorganized divisions in one battle. This ability was truly unenviable. The Grand Brigadier thought he could not do it at all.
Even if he now holds hundreds of thousands of people in his hands, it would be difficult to annihilate several divisions.
The little Japs won't sit around like that. It's quite difficult for hundreds of thousands of people to surround 50,000 people.
Gao Jianwu was really unlucky this time. He encountered the death order issued by the little devil. Even if it means exchanging human lives to the limit, he must kill Gao Jianwu's cluster!
So these little devils carried out this order one after another.
That's not to say that none of them ran away, but the little Japs who were organized above the squadron level all launched a desperate onboard charge this time!
Either they were buried under fierce artillery fire, or they died under densely packed light and heavy machine guns. There are more than a thousand people in a main battalion. Can you believe that there are 45 light machine guns and 9 heavy machine guns!
"Brigade Commander, shouldn't it be time for us to take action? Our fishing can be considered a complete success now. This little devil has also been caught, and that kid Gao Jianwu also successfully captured Xinjing. Our It's time for people to take action." Li Yunlong said with an itchy heart.
In order to mobilize the little devils, they have been suppressing the speed of their advance after the Battle of Jinzhou. Only now have they advanced to the Taian area, which is still nearly a hundred kilometers away from Shengjing!
"Why are you anxious? The fun has just begun. You are responsible for some of the fighting. According to the information provided by Gao Jianwu, the Japs have mobilized a group of troops from the peninsula this time. We have to wait until they arrive before we take action and kill them in one fell swoop. The main force won it."
The brigade commander used air-ground coordination, infantry-tank coordination, and infantry-artillery coordination to test his skills, and he already had a preliminary concept of the unit's collaborative combat power.
For him, it is not a big problem no matter how many little devils come now. As long as the logistics department can keep up, there will be no problem in replenishing weapons and ammunition. The brigade commander felt that one of his troops could conquer the entire Northeast!
If the little devil is willing to come up and confront him head-on.
To be honest, this is the first time that the brigade commander has commanded tanks and artillery to coordinate operations on a large scale. The effect of unit operations after coordination far exceeds that of one plus one.
The battlefield has now completely become one where firepower is king. The originally quite lethal human sea tactic was almost useless under the super firepower strike.
The role of artillery and tanks now vaguely exceeds that of infantry!
This made the brigade commander vaguely feel that the pattern of future wars had begun to change drastically.
Professional arms such as air force, artillery and tanks began to dominate the entire battlefield!
The role of infantry on the battlefield has dropped sharply, so the number of people is no longer the key to determining victory or defeat on the battlefield.
The role of technical arms has risen to a decisive level.
The brigade commander in Shengjing is preparing to turn this battle into a decisive battle. It is hoped that through this battle, the Japs and the main force of the Kwantung Army will be defeated in one fell swoop, and everything will be smooth sailing next.
The decisive battle here, for the brigade commander, is to reduce the advantage of the little devil's home battle, to allow the troops to conduct the decisive battle relatively inside, and to advance and occupy the railway line all the way, so that supplies can now be continuously transported from North China. Such a huge consumption of the Brigadier's hundreds of thousands of troops, even without Gao Jianwu's system, can still be managed through the railway line.
】
Li Yunlong's overall view of the situation in this regard was quite poor. He did not see these subjective and objective advantages, so he was a little impatient and wanted to fight forward.
In fact, for the brigade commander, what he hopes most is to mobilize the little Japanese to fight with him in the decisive battles in Taian and Liaozhong.
Now it seems that the little devil is ready to make a move and is very hopeful to achieve this goal.
"Li Yunlong, now I have a task for you. After we complete a conference, you plan how to attack Anshan and take down the steel factory completely!"
"No matter what kind of troops you want, labor and management are ready for you. The only requirement is to take down Anshan Iron and Steel to ensure that the main production equipment and production lines can resume production quickly."
The brigade commander now has the opportunity to take charge of his own affairs. Not to mention Ding Wei and Kong Jie, they are now almost responsible for the development of a large base area.
Even Cheng Xiazi is now the chief general of the party, guarding a huge territory in western Henan and guarding against a sudden attack by hundreds of thousands of preserved fruit troops.
So although there are hundreds of thousands of people gathered now, there are really not many generals like Li Yunlong under the Brigade Commander who can fight and dare to fight.
"Yes, brigade commander! It's such a small steel factory, I can definitely capture Xiao Li!" Li Yunlong had no idea about that steel plant and thought it was similar to the steel plant in Jinyang, so he responded in a relaxed mood.
"You know nothing, do you know how much steel Showa Steel produces in a year? Labor and management tell you that their steel ingot production is 414,000 tons a year, which is more than 8 times more than our Jinyang Steel!" The brigade commander looked at it Li Yunlong looked nonchalant and couldn't help but knock.
"They occupy almost half of the city in Anshan. It can even be said that this city developed because of steel! This steel plant is the life of that city."
"Ah, they are so big." Li Yunlong was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. It seemed unimaginable to him that a steel factory occupied half of the city.
But the Grand Brigadier wouldn't lie.
So Li Longyunlong cheered up. "Yes! Brigadier, I will organize the team carefully and capture this city completely!"
Even though the brigade commander had said this, Li Yunlong still didn't have the energy to deal with it, so his IQ was a bit worrying.
Li Yunlong is obviously not that stupid.
"It is one of the most important goals for us to capture the Northeast. A steel plant and a Shengjing arsenal. These are the two most famous and valuable factories. We must find ways to capture them completely." The Brigadier felt a little relieved to see Li Yunlong finally become serious.
Li Yunlong will definitely have no problem fighting. He has fought many hard and bad battles in his life, and has sufficient experience in coming back against the odds. Now that he has super firepower in his hands, this kid can also be remarkable in big battles.
As long as he gets serious, the brigade commander has nothing to worry about.
...
On the other side, Gao Jianwu had no intention of resting. After only staying in Siping for one night to rest, he led his team straight to Tieling the next day, relying on the speed and convenience of mechanized advance.
Gao Jianwu arrived in one day and set up camp more than 3 kilometers outside the Tieling city wall in preparation for the war.
Yamada Otsuzo, who had been frightened by Gao Jianwu in Siping, did not say anything this time and sent troops out to fight in the field. He found that fighting with Gao Jianwu's troops in the field was almost purely a loss of lives.
Those middle-level and lower-level officers who are astonishingly stupid, Yamada Otozo doesn't dare to let them out to fight in the field now, for fear that all the little Japs will die after the war, and he will even block the way to retreat!
Now Yamada Otozo is completely frightened.
The entire four divisions were defeated in a huge battle that had never been recorded in the history of war. Now Yamada Otozo is so heartbroken that he can hardly breathe.
"Kuroki-kun, this time the enemy is coming fiercely. What is our strategy to stop these Chinese people at Shengjing City?" Yamada Otsuzo really wanted to ask for a plan this time.
"Your Excellency Commander, if I understand correctly, this time we will focus on positional defense. Our mobile division has been eaten by others. Now we are very passive. I hope that while defending, we can also Organize some people to fight back.”
"If there is no counterattack, the Eighth Route Army must think that our strength is insufficient, and I am afraid they will use their full strength to deal with us."
Major General Kuroki Gao Shen said.
"Xinxi, Kuroki-kun, according to what you said, what should we do?" Yamada Otozo is really at a loss now.
Even if you fight, you can't fight, and you still can't run away.
It seems that apart from fighting to the death, there is really no chance for them.
"Part of us dispersed into the city to prepare for street fighting, while the rest formed a strict brigade structure to carry out counterattack missions.
I personally feel that during our subsequent tactical deployment, we must pay special attention to the enemy's artillery suppression and weaken the enemy's artillery advantage as much as possible.
In Siping, the artillery fire of four reorganized divisions with more than 50,000 people fell behind.
Not to mention that the newly reorganized division with 8 new teams is even weaker, and it is even more difficult to defend against the main force of the Eighth Route Army in frontal combat.
After all, many big cities in the Northeast have been captured by the Eighth Route Army, and they seem to have sufficient reserves of weapons and ammunition.
Frankly speaking, it is almost impossible to win a head-on battle. "
Yamada Otozo's eyes narrowed.
There is a big gap between the prescription prescribed by Kuroki Gaoshen and Yamada Otozo's idea. After all, this is an era where firepower is king. It is understandable to plan a counter-attack appropriately during the defense process.
But for street fighting, you are completely prepared to die with the enemy in the city.
This is somewhat incompatible with Yamada Otsuzo's idea that the main force of the Kwantung Army has been assembled to prepare for the decisive battle.
"Kuroki-kun, if we fight in the streets, the cities we occupied may be reduced to ruins. The empire finally captured this place and worked hard to build it for several years. Now it has become our second homeland. Do we really need to take this step?”
"Your Majesty Commander, I'm afraid we have to do this. Although we may pay a heavy price, as long as we fight back the Eighth Route Army, this place will always be ours, and we can still rebuild."
Major General Kuroki went in the opposite direction and prepared to introduce the Eastern Front Attack Group into street fighting and annihilate their enemies using traditional methods.
This idea was originally thought of by the South China Front Army, but was stopped by the base camp.
Now that Major General Kuroki has brought it up again, I'm afraid no one knows what the Eighth Route Army will do if the kid really does this.
...
"Tieling only has one small Jaap brigade defender and two puppet army brigades. If we want to fight, it will probably only take a few hours to blow open the city wall." Gao Jianwu stood 4 kilometers outside Tieling and set up a headquarters and artillery. position, he said to several staff officers in the headquarters.
"Now we have two methods of attack. One is to encircle the point and call for reinforcements. For Tieling, we mainly use small-scale harassment and shelling to attract the little Japanese reinforcements."
"This way we don't have to go all out and just maintain a high-pressure state."
"The other is to attack with force and find a way to capture it, catching the little Japanese reinforcements by surprise. Which one do you think is better?"
Gao Jianwu assigned a new assignment to the staff members of the headquarters. For Gao Jianwu, this topic was not too big. But for those staff officers, this issue was not simple.
"Commander Gao, I think it's better to gather around the spot and call for reinforcements." A staff officer thought for a while before standing up and said.
"On the one hand, we are familiar with this tactic, and on the other hand, our combat power is strong enough that even two or three Japs divisions cannot control us. In this way, we can continue to fish and lure the main force of the Japs to the Come here.
We have sufficient ammunition and fierce artillery fire, and we are not afraid of the siege of the little devils. We are sure of sending reinforcements. "
This staff officer obviously saw the powerful lethality of the artillery group under the command of Gao Jianwu, so he had a soft spot for encircling the point to provide reinforcements.
"In normal times, I think this is a good idea, but it's a bit inappropriate now." Gao Jianwu shook his head.
"We beat the little devils too hard, maybe they have already started planning urban street battles! We absolutely cannot let them complete the deployment of street battles, blitz them in advance, and eliminate them in organized form on the defensive positions outside the city.
So we must capture Tieling quickly and then continue to blitz the next target! "
Gao Jianwu said decisively.
Not only did he do this, Gao Jianwu also immediately telegraphed the troops on the southern and northern fronts to speed up the advance and no longer give the little devils any time to adjust.
