Chapter 77 Sand Table Walkthrough
Cai Bingyan drank the last sip of water in the water bottle, "Should be able to fight another dozen, my brother Wu is also attacking on our right side at the same time, attacking from both sides at the same time can always make a dozen!"

It was not only the frontline command that was concerned about the outcome of this battle, but Nanjing, the highest command behind the Battle of Songhu, was also paying attention here.Because Luodian can directly reach Liuxing and Jiading from the south and west, it is an important military town that radiates the entire Songhu area. The headquarters of China and Japan are determined to win Luodian.It can be said that whoever has a firm foothold in Luodian can gain the initiative in the entire Songhu battle.

In the Whampoa Military Academy, every fifty people are organized into a large group, each consisting of four instructors to form a steering group, using the "sand table" to study tactics, and the selection of the background and location of the war is precisely the scene that happened in Luodian. An extremely fierce battle.In just one week, Luodian suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the two sides dropped as many as two to three thousand shells on these few square kilometers of land every day.

The battle reports from the frontline are continuously collected in the telecommunications room of the military academy, where information that is not available to ordinary citizens can be read at will.When the economy was tight two years ago, the Whampoa Military Academy was the fifth army of the "direct line of the direct line", and was jointly "imperially approved" by the chairman as a place that had to eat three meals a day, so the battlefield information obtained by the Supreme Command , will be forwarded here whenever needed.

The four instructors in front of the sand table are in pairs, marking the firepower configuration of the enemy and us on the sand table, surrounded by fifty students who are short in front, and tall students stand behind with stools and gather in front of the sand table.

The military strength and firepower configuration of both China and Japan are marked on the sand table in detail.Rather than watching the instructors practice the sand table, it is better to say that the Whampoa Military Academy is using this method to allow the students to experience the frontline battle situation personally.

The cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy will go to the front line in the future, and they must be made aware of the real situation, instead of misjudging the situation by reading the deceitful words in the newspaper.

The newspapers are just trying to appease the people. If the commanders of the Whampoa Military Academy believe it, it will be over.

"How do the students think about the prospect of this battle for Luodian?"

"Although we have an advantage in numbers, our heavy firepower is far behind the Japanese army, and the support firepower cannot arrive quickly. Now our air force has lost half, and the performance of the aircraft is not as good as the Japanese aircraft, which is equivalent to losing air supremacy. More than a hundred planes taking off from above and from Taiwan can appear on the Songhu battlefield at any time. Therefore, the students think that the prospect of this battle is not optimistic."

Looking at the ratio of Luodian personnel and firepower displayed on the sand table, Li Chong expressed his opinion. It was difficult to defeat the Japanese army from the beginning of the Songhu Battle. Because of this, Nanjing is secretly preparing to move the capital.

However, there are also different opinions on Li Chong's point of view, "Captain Li, you are a bit of a weaponist. Although the Japanese army has superior firepower, we have 110 Cai brigades on the left side of Luodian and the reorganization of Master Huang on the right side." The Division, and the Tax Police Headquarters that Minister Song sent to Germany to deploy them, all of them are the elite of the national army, and their melee firepower has surpassed the 11th Division of the Japanese Army in Luodian.

In fact, Li Chong is not a "weapon only theory". When he was in Hong Kong, Li Chong had heard some theories of the Red Party. Got a machine gun?But the following facts: the national army's absolute superiority in weapons and numbers still cannot suppress the Red Party, but it really proves the correctness of this sentence.

After that, before returning to the mainland, Li Chong had been paying attention to the news of this magical Red Army team.They brought "human power" to the extreme in the war, which shocked Li Chong very much. He already understood that the war is not just a matter of how big the machine gun is, and the outcome can be determined.

But in today's Songhu battlefield, the guns are all aimed at the Japanese invaders, and the whole nation is united. At this moment, there is no question of who the people stand behind.

At this moment, on the smoky Luodian battlefield, Cai Brigade's troops and the rest of the soldiers huddled their heads against the corner of the wall.

"Damn it, the little devil's heavy artillery shells are like free money, falling straight down like cubs! Brigadier, we are surrounded by the little devil's artillery fire, what should we do?"

"Ge, death in battle is death, death in bombing is death, anyway, it's just a word of death, why don't you rush out and fight with the little devil, fight him to death, I'll fight it out today!"

Huang Wuwo, who was attacking on the right, stood in front of the 67th Division, which was half disabled, and the adjutant beside him shouted, "All gather!"

Looking at the soldiers covered in cannonball dust, Huang Wuwo took off his military cap, pulled off the general star on his shoulder, and put it on a helmet.The entire 67th Division, even the clerical and cooking classes threw away pens and spoons, and stood in the team with their guns on their shoulders.

"From now on, starting from me, the whole division launches a death attack on Luodian! Starting from my guard company, each company organizes a death squad, take out the grenade, and lift the cover for me"

At the same time, Sun Liren, the commander of the second detachment of the Tax Police Headquarters, led soldiers in American equipment, with shells and heavy machine guns on their heads, and no one was afraid. The Japanese invaders threw grenades and pulled the fully automatic weapons hanging on their chests, and took their lives to shoot down the machine guns that were spewing flames one by one!

On the battlefield of Luodian, the living people took up their guns and made their last charge. When they returned to the sand table training room of the Whampoa Military Academy, the topic of debate continued.

Li Chong asked, "What happens after taking Luodian? The Japanese army is bound to make a comeback. I am not talking about weapons, but we must see the gap clearly. Luodian must be fought, so that the Japanese army can be hit as much as possible! Give the rear time to move." ..."

"Hmm!" The instructor in front of the sand table suddenly took up the conversation and interrupted Li Chong.At this time, although the relocation of the capital is already underway, it is still in the confidential stage.On the surface, various government departments in Nanjing are still operating at full capacity, and various local troops have gathered around Suzhou and entered the Songhu battlefield at any time, but in fact they are already conducting a strategic retreat in secret.As the cradle of military officers, Huangpu has received an order from the Chairman to withdraw to Sichuan.

But at this time, if the relocation of the capital breaks out, it will undoubtedly hit the morale of the resistance fighters ahead.Although the high-level leaders of Whampoa have drawn up a plan to withdraw to Sichuan, ordinary students in Whampoa don't know it yet.Listening to Li Chong's analysis, he seemed to know about this matter, which surprised the four instructors. Those who knew the news were all high-level people. It seems that this young man is a bit capable!

For a whole afternoon, the four instructors talked about the situation on the battlefield in Luodian and the future of the national war of resistance. Combined with tactical theory, all the students had a deep understanding of the strength of the Japanese army.Let the students understand that the anti-Japanese war is not only to avenge their elders and regain their lost land, but also a national war. This is not a matter of rushing up with a machine gun with a passion, but a mission of national salvation in the future!
