Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 126 Zhao Gangrui Comments on the Southwest Captain

After the five of them finished their lunch, they returned to the command room to discuss the details of the operation.

For a basic regiment, in the absence of major actions, their resident basically will not change.This is because the troops not only have to protect the local people, but also step up military training and farming.

In addition to the policy of the Eighth Route Army, this is mainly due to the gap in the combat effectiveness of the troops.After all, the backbone group is equivalent to the supplement of the main force group, so most of the tough battles are fought by the main force.

Even if it is the New Second Regiment under the command of Li Datuan, there is still a big gap between this one of the best basic regiments compared with the [-]nd Regiment.Among other things, the number of people has doubled.

Therefore, this mission is a severe test for the soldiers of the whole regiment, no matter in terms of marching ability, shooting ability, physical fitness, and psychological quality.

Fortunately, the skeleton of the new second regiment is very good, and even the first-level cadres are veterans.

Needless to say, the importance of veterans to the army, although the recruits have gradually become tough fighters after this period of training.

However, some targeted training is still needed, and a battle without preparation cannot be fought.

Since the war officially started, the various units of the Eighth Route Army have often attacked the devil's railways and military columns.This makes it very difficult to fight a beautiful ambush near the railway.

Unless there is some innovative style of play, or a powerful weapon.

Thinking of this, Captain Li looked at the four people in front of him and said, "Is there any soldier in our regiment who is familiar with railways? It's best to be able to quickly disassemble and assemble railroad ties, and be able to scrape railways."

If there are a few people who are proficient in dismantling railroad ties, let them demonstrate the technical points to the whole group.After learning, comrades will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in action.

As an old subordinate who has followed Li Yunlong for many years, Zhang Dabiao is very aware of his own head's behavior style, he raised his eyebrows slightly and replied:

"I've arranged this matter long ago. Although there are none in our regiment, I found a few railway old men in a nearby village."

"They have participated in the construction of Zhengtai, and I plan to invite them over tomorrow to give guidance to the soldiers in the regiment."

Hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, everyone present nodded.With the help of these old people, whether it is destruction or removal, the soldiers will definitely benefit a lot.

At this time, Zhao Gang took out a book with six large characters written on the cover: "Rules for Railway Employees".

This book is a manuscript he asked someone to transcribe from the headquarters. It contains a lot of knowledge that the new second regiment needs to master now.Although Li Yunlong no longer rejects studying, sometimes he even takes the initiative to ask the political commissar to give him a small lesson.

But one second was still discussing, and the next second was about to start learning new knowledge, which made the four people in the command room suddenly frown.

From 12:30 noon to five o'clock in the afternoon, several people spent their time studying.After Zhao Gang's cramming teaching, Li Yunlong and the other four had a deeper understanding of the railway line.

The originally somewhat vague battle plan became more and more clear.

At night, the three battalion commanders left the command post together, and they still checked the training results of the soldiers.Zhang Dabiao recalled the knowledge he learned today, stroked the back of his head with only stubble and said:
"I didn't expect reading books to be really useful in fighting. If I knew that the political commissar would make a small fuss, I would go and get involved."

For Zhang Dabiao, he also participated in the literacy class held in the base area, but most of the time it was just a formality.His current level is limited to reading a telegram, and he often encounters unfamiliar characters.

In the past, Li Yunlong talked to him and told him that as the chief of staff, he had to study.At that time, he didn't care about it. After all, he called all the way all these years, and it didn't matter if he didn't read the book.

But today he felt regretful for the first time, and at the same time, he secretly made up his mind to make up for what he missed before.

When only Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were left in the command room, Lao Li, who had been holding back for a day, finally asked a question from the bottom of his heart.

"Old Zhao, although you haven't seen any big scenes, you must be much stronger than me in theory."

"The brigade commander always said that our current situation is similar to last year's bald head, why did he say that?"

If this question is asked to other regiment-level chief officers, there is a high probability that they will not be able to answer it.After all, the news in the base area is not very well-informed. Many people only know a little about the winter offensive of dried fruit last year.

But at that time, Zhao Gang was studying in the rear, and the news there was very well-informed, and even the Asahi Shimbun newspaper could be obtained.And such a big military operation, of course the school has to talk about it.

Zhao Gang made a few words in his mind, took a piece of paper and drew a map of the whole country, and expressed his understanding to Li Yunlong.

"Look, Lao Li, this is the place we lost last year. Take a closer look, don't you think it's not a lot of land lost?"

Although the map is a bit sloppy, Li Yunlong can still clearly distinguish each war zone based on his previous combat experience.

"That's true. I didn't expect our form to become so bad this year. I really don't know what the bald head is doing."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang nodded.Then he picked up a pen and drew four lines on the map, two horizontal and two vertical.

Li Yunlong, who has a sensitive sense of smell, suddenly became serious. Sometimes people's cognition is not comprehensive, but once someone connects these things together, he will immediately become confused.

The four lines drawn by my political commissar are the Jinpu line and the Ping-Han line in the vertical direction, and the Yangtze River and Longhai lines in the horizontal direction.

"Although we didn't lose a lot of land last year, every place is very important. Because these areas are our lifeblood."

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang touched the four lines helplessly, as if he was grieving for the common people in the flames of war.

"Those places are very critical transportation nodes. You are an old comrade, and you know how important supplies are to the troops."

"This requires huge transport capacity. Our Eighth Route Army currently relies on animal power for transportation, and the speed is definitely not as good as trains and ships."

"If I were the supreme commander of the devils, I would definitely get stuck in the main point, choke the transportation line, and there was no need to occupy a large area of ​​territory. If one goes up and down, a few years will kill us."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong almost understood what the other party wanted to express.

Modern wars are all carried out around supply lines, and the importance of logistics can be seen at a glance, which is why Huang He can take the position of deputy minister within a year.

And the enemy controls a large amount of transportation infrastructure, which is a disaster for all anti-Japanese armed forces.

"It's the same in the game. If you leave the railway line and the supply center, you can't save the mirror base."

Seeing that Li Yunlong was silent, Zhao Gang pointed to the map and said.

"The enemy uses the cage policy to try to lock us. This is not the first time they have used it. They have used it against the fruit troops before, and the major areas have long been divided by the enemy."

"If you think about it carefully, it has been a long time since you heard the news of the great battle."

"We are also facing the same problem now, but it is not as serious. That's why the headquarters decided to launch a large-scale operation to break the deadlock."

As the commander of the frontline troops, Li Yunlong can figure it out as soon as he thinks about it.The devils locked their own troops with positive lines, while the expanded version of the cage policy locked the preserved fruit troops.

Devils support other battlefields, you can go there by train.Even if the railway is destroyed artificially, the time to repair the railway plus the time on the road is faster than others walking on legs.

Even if Guoguo's support troops can arrive on time, the supplies can't keep up, and even if they run out of ammunition, they will lose their combat effectiveness.

Under such circumstances, squeezing the living space of the major theaters along the traffic lines is not an enlarged version of the cage policy.

Seeing that his team leader obviously wanted to understand, Zhao Gang picked up the water bowl on the table and took a sip of water, then continued with some melancholy:

"After each war zone was divided, in order to defend the existing territory, Guoguo could only play the tactic of fueling up. He tried to increase the number of troops to resist the devils, but what fighting power would the captured strong men have?"

"You should still remember those fellows who came with Vice Minister Huang. Not only did they bring weapons, but there were also many military advisers in the army."

"Baldi relied on these weapons and experts to expand the army by 50 people in one go. They are not stupid, and they can see the problems we can think of. Lao Li, if you are in command, how can you do this battle? beat?"

Li Yunlong looked at the map and fell into thinking. The most important communication lines in the country were occupied by the enemy.Devils can even cross half of China in about a week without any problem.

And people can have trains that can pull heavy weapons, and even armored vehicles can be transported away.If they only attack a certain position, the devils can call in reinforcements in a very short period of time, forming an advantage in firepower and troops.

About 1 minute passed, and Li Datuan gave an answer in his own style.

"The devil's mobility is really good. No matter where I attack, as long as I can't take it down in a short time, I may be dumped."

"If it's my command, then attack from all fronts! No feints! All main attacks! Use the advantage of numbers and the theory of crowd assault to fight against the devil's troops."

Hearing this answer, Zhao Gang patted his thigh vigorously to express his approval of his partner.

"That's right! The high-level executives of the fruit preserves also think so! Last year, we originally planned to unite the first, second, and tenth theaters to attack the devils on the Zhengtai line."

"As long as our Eighth Route Army cuts off the railway, more than 30 divisions can be formed to fight a devil division that has run out of supplies."

"At that time, even if the bald head personally flies the plane to drop the warrant, then we will have the advantage. If the command is proper, the three theaters cooperate tacitly, and it is possible to wipe out the enemy."

Speaking of this, the two people in the command room were a little downcast.Although they were not directly involved in what happened at that time, all bases of the tragedy knew about it.

The person who shouted all day that existence is everything and everything is for existence, at a critical moment, stabbed the Eighth Route Army in the back regardless of righteousness.They raided the rear hospital and massacred many wounded.

Although the troops from behind fought back again, the dead could no longer be brought back to life.

The two were silent for a while, adjusted their mood, and Zhao Gang continued to talk.

"The focus of that winter offensive was in the Fifth War Zone, where more than 40 divisions were responsible for besieging three divisions. The purpose of this was to draw reinforcements from the enemy."

"If the devil wants to go to the fifth war zone, he will definitely pass through the Yangtze River. Baldhead has deployed 27 divisions along the coast to cut off the Yangtze River route."

"My teacher said at the time that this move is very clever and courageous. The devils in Jiangxi, Henan and Hunan rely on the Yangtze River for supplies. Once the bald head's plan succeeds, our enemies will not only be devils."

Li Yunlong thought about it carefully, and it really happened.

If Guofu had won at that time, it is estimated that only the Kwantung Army would be left.The devils who have lost a large number of troops can hardly resist the strength of the anti-Japanese armed forces.

Then what will happen next is self-evident. Anyone with a bit of strategic thinking knows that Li Yunlong's overall view is not bad.

But he was even more puzzled now, all the fighting was to eat the devil's supply lines and protrusions.He also knew what was going on with Maozi who sent the Yellow River back, but those weapons made him drool for several days.

Collectively, there are more cannons than devils, and there are even planes, with proper firepower superior.And it's an active attack, it's hard to lose!
After thinking for a long time, he didn't understand why, so Li Yunlong asked his own question directly, and Zhao Gang said helplessly:

"You know what's going on with the fruit's intelligence network. There are people in their top ranks, and there are devils, but there are people who don't work. It didn't take long for the devils to know about this plan."

"Moreover, the generals of the major factions did not work hard, and they all wanted to preserve their own strength. The troops along the Yangtze River retreated with almost no losses, wasting the efforts of the fifth theater."

"Even the shells that were originally prepared were not fired, and the mines were useless."

When he said this, Zhao Gang remembered Baldhead's rhetoric before the operation began.So with a bit of sarcasm, he spoke out the originally impassioned speech.

"This winter offensive is the only key to turning defeat into victory in my war of resistance, and the beginning of my victory in the second phase of the war of resistance."

"Success or failure is the key to the survival of the country in the future. All the troops that I participated in the offensive should regard this as the rarest opportunity to strive for historical glory."

"It's a good slogan, but the result is like shit. If you seize that opportunity, the people in China will definitely suffer a lot less."

Seeing that his political commissar looked a bit superior, Li Yunlong stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Old Zhao, don't worry. Our Eighth Route Army is different from them. This time we will definitely win a big victory!"

"What they can't do, we do it ourselves! Sooner or later we will liberate Shanxi and keep the common people away from the flames of war!"

Hearing these words, Zhao Gang's complexion improved a lot.He nodded, picked up the water bowl on the table and took a big sip, then looked to the southwest and said:

"Shuzi is insufficient and conspiracy!"
