Chapter 91

"Attention, we are currently in Zhangjiawan, which is still the enemy's hinterland for the time being. Starting from the gunshots, we will face armed siege from many places. But we are the best soldiers in the empire, and our prey at this moment: Huangpu The teachers and students rested here last night. According to the routine march, they should be about [-] kilometers in front of us. Now the first combat team is opening the way! The second, third, and fourth combat teams keep up! The fifth combat team is the guard ! Replenish the necessary supplies in the nearest village!"

"Try not to exchange fire along the way, and withdraw from the battle as soon as possible even if fire occurs. There is only one goal: the teachers and students of the Whampoa Military Academy in China!"

Kato's order was issued, and the first combat team, led by the team leader Yamamoto, broke away from the team and marched along the traces left by the teachers and students of Whampoa.There are 50 people in each team, and a combat team has a communication station, which can contact each other and move quickly if there is a situation.

After a squadron from Kato landed, a squadron from Kurokawa also landed in Yangcun half a day later. According to Kato's feedback, the left side of Kato, where the Kurokawa squadron landed, extended twenty miles forward.

……

Shangwangzhuang is a large village with more than 300 households.The hills are criss-crossed, covered with many dark green bamboos.In addition to growing rice, every household here will plant bamboo.Because it grows well, it can dig out a lot of bamboo shoots every year without taking care of it.Every year in March, when the harvest is green and yellow, these poor tenants rely on carrying hoes to dig bamboo shoots in the wild to save their lives.The March bamboo shoots are still fresh. If you can scoop out some rice from the rice jar that can’t hide the mice, wash it and cook it with the bamboo shoots, it will be a bowl of fragrant bamboo shoot rice.

Usually this Zhuangzi would be noisy and lively except when he came to collect grain at home, or sing social operas at the end of the year. He usually worked silently and heard about each other, but today he was rarely lively.More than 1000 people from the First Corps came here. A dozen or so students drank the river water directly because of thirst.Liu Yongyao, the instructor who led the team, saw that it was already dusk. Before walking forward, he said that he could not sleep in the wild, so he rested in Shangwangzhuang, and let the dozen or so people with diarrhea relax.

It was just late in the evening, and it was too extravagant to eat and sleep directly. The instructors of the First Corps simply took the students to the field for night classes.Li Chong's infantry department was dragged to a large hill outside the village and sat on the ground under the moonlight. Infantry instructor Liu Yueyang stood in front and explained the night combat skills to the students.

While he was talking, Wang Boling, the instructor of the Artillery Division, also led the Artillery Brigade to sit in front of the Infantry Section. On the battlefield, artillery and infantry can exert the greatest lethality when they work together.But when teaching at this moment, it is inevitable that sometimes you have to compete for a high and low.The key is that both Wang Boling and Liu Yueyang have reached stubborn ages, and their energy cannot be released on the battlefield. After many years of teaching in the military academy, they naturally have to compete with each other.

People live for a lifetime, don't they all fight for breath.

"Students, look at this hilly area, especially the small hill. What if the enemy builds fortifications on it and attacks from above? The infantry is going up to fill it with their lives. At this time, it is our turn to show our skills. Sometimes a A good shot can save a lot of casualties."

Liu Yueyang sarcastically pierced his waist and was very unconvinced, "Hey! Old Wang, your tone is so deadly, do you think it is a mountain cannon? With your few mortars now, can you hit that mountain? You can do it! Let’s blow it. Now if the enemy’s commander sets up a command post behind the hillside, he can command in front of the battle and view the battlefield. Now the problem comes, if we are the attacking side, if the enemy occupies a favorable terrain , how can we take down the mountain in front of us when the enemy has the terrain advantage?"

Instructor Liu Yueyang turned his head, "This is the topic we are going to discuss tonight, and the students all share their opinions."

"Hmph, our artillery brigade is also here to discuss and discuss." Instructor Wang said arrogantly leading his students into the infantry department, "Boys, you also talk about your views on the issue of Instructor Liu. "

"Instructor, that's too far away and not within the effective range of our mortars. If there is a mountain cannon, there will be no problem." A voice came from the artillery brigade.

There was no need for Instructor Wang or the Infantry Section to refute, but the Artillery Section refuted it by itself, "Don't tell me our artillery doesn't have mountain cannons and we don't want to fight devils? The instructor has already said that we can't assume conditions. We don't have mountain cannons now."

"Then how can we find a way to fuck that motherfucker?"

A voice came from the infantry department, "Then we need our infantry. At this time, as long as our infantry and artillery advance 300 meters and are within the effective range of the mortar, the shells will be able to strike."

"So, the infantry artillery is a family." Li Ziyu, a political instructor, and Chen Kezhai, a tactical instructor who accompanied the teachers and students of Whampoa at this time, watched the crowd gather around a large group of students for class, and came up and said with a smile.

"Old Chen, you are playing tactics, tell us how to organize an attack on this terrain?"

Chen Kezhai laughed, "Old Wang Lao Liu, you two are trying to test me."

Liu Yueyang nodded calmly, "Yes, you are a full-time tactician. You must have more ideas than the two of us. But you are not allowed to add other conditions, just these guns, five mortars and each person hanging on the waist. The two grenades in the middle and the like, and the guys around who can be used easily."

For the Whampoa students of the [-]th batch like Li Chong, the man who walked up with his hands behind his back was a bit unfamiliar, but Chen Kezhai entered Whampoa after he came out of Baoding Military Academy to teach tactics. The instructor coaches the Whampoa students in each period, but now he only coaches the military teaching team.

This is the military teaching team, which is composed of the best students selected from the Whampoa students in the middle of the term. After graduation, the starting point is higher, so it is also dubbed the title of "Officer Corps". Now the [-]th term of students We haven't entered the selection process not long after we entered school, so naturally we haven't seen this instructor before.

At this moment, Chen Kezhai pointed to the high and low hilly topography in front of him and said, "In this kind of terrain, the more than 1000 people in your first corps will definitely not be able to spread all of them with their legs. It’s just moths jumping into the flames looking for death, which has become a refueling tactic.”

"Because the range of the mortar is not enough, the infantry's upward attack is at a terrain disadvantage, so it is natural to shorten the distance of this attack. There are pros and cons to everything. This hill is not conducive to our attack, but for the enemy on the hill It is said that the backside of these hills is the blind spot for their shooting. If we borrow shovels from various households in the village and dig along the winding hills, we can easily advance to the range of the mortar.”
