Songhu: Never Give Up

Chapter 350 Yue Qianli's Debate (2)

Duan Yulin's question was also a puzzle to the others. After being tortured by Lao Yue for a whole day, they already felt involved. They were eager to know how to solve the problem.

This was exactly the effect Yue Qianli needed. He was not doing this to bully his old brothers. When Duan Yulin asked, he said directly:
"Neiji Okamura is a powerful character. We must be on our guard when we meet him next time. The best way to deal with the Hata Detachment is to lure the enemy deep into our territory and concentrate our superior forces to annihilate these traitors who have forgotten their roots!
It is better to release the Hata Detachment than to block it. Let's boldly release them to the deep position. They are just tens of thousands of devils. The reason why they are difficult to fight is that they have a fleet to provide them with firepower and logistical support.
But naval guns have a limited range, and warships cannot sail ashore. If you ambush two capable armies in deep positions and use a part of them to feign defeat to lure them into a pocket formation, even if they don't die, they will be skinned alive.

The best way to fight is to destroy his main force, then surround the remnants, and then attack the reinforcements, so that you can seize the initiative on the battlefield."

The guerrilla column used this tactic quite a lot, and it was very fast. Duan Yulin reacted the fastest and immediately interrupted and said:
"I understand. Even if we are on the defensive, we need to prevent the passive from becoming active and not be led by the offensive side.

The old devil Okamura clearly wanted to use the Hata Detachment to lead us into battle. This was the deciding factor on the battlefield.

Destroying the Hata Detachment is only a medium-term strategy, because as long as the Japanese fleet is there, they can send out another detachment. After suffering a loss once, it will be difficult for the Japanese to be fooled again. "

Zhu Chi also added with surprise:
"The best strategy is to surround the remnants of the Hata Detachment with its main force, lure the Japanese fleet to send more people to rescue them, and then the two sides can start a tug-of-war around the Hata Detachment.
The Japanese fleet has limited transport capacity and can only deploy in batches. This is just a tactic of adding fuel.

It is much easier for us to mobilize troops. If the stalemate continues for a long time, the consumption of the Japanese will be a considerable number, thus achieving the goal of the Kuomintang to continue to consume the Japanese!

Even if the Japanese don't fall for it, at least they can eat up the Hata Detachment and eliminate the threat in the middle. Then the Japanese can only advance slowly between the mountains and lakes on the left and right wings, which is still in line with the overall strategy of the National Government. "

Tactics are like window paper. Once it is pierced, everything will become clear. Duan Yulin and others' minds were opened.
Think about the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army. Once the guerrilla warfare tactics were promoted, they trained thousands of generals in a few years. In another time and space, those who were awarded the rank of major general or above, which one of them was not an expert in guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare?
As long as we have a complete set of mature combat theories, popularize them, and use actual combat to train our generals, within two years, a large number of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare experts will emerge in the guerrilla column, and it is only a matter of time before it ushers in a period of explosive development.

Yanzhou has the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and the guerrilla column also has a training camp. All we need to do is to regularly train officers above the rank of platoon leader. If conditions permit, we can also organize non-commissioned officer classes. This is the advantage of having a God's perspective. Vision and thinking are the greatest golden fingers for time travelers.

Yue Qianli finally smiled. The reason why he insisted on participating in the Wuhan Battle was to help the backbones of the guerrilla column broaden their horizons.
There are many things worth learning and summarizing from the battle of millions of people. This is a large-scale military operation, and the opportunity is very rare. Yue Qianli will naturally not miss it. Seeing that everyone understands, he said in summary:

“Brothers, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. We are now in the context of the Wuhan Battle;
Each unit is like a chess piece on a chessboard, seemingly useless, but when needed, even a pawn can block or even capture a rook. The further the game progresses, the more important the idle pieces become, and they may even play a decisive role.
The guerrilla column has nearly 3 elite soldiers. The longer they are idle, the greater their role. They are like a sharp dagger. If they don't use it, it's fine. But once they use it, they will kill the Japanese. This is the value of the reserve force!
During this period, everyone should study hard, this is a practical class, and the opportunity is rare;
Not only do you need to learn it yourself, but you also need to encourage your brothers to learn it. I will also give lectures to battalion commanders and team leaders on a regular basis.

The purpose is only one, to learn large-scale troop operations through the Wuhan Campaign, and to promote it to the level of battalion commander first;
In the future, we will go to the company and platoon, and learn war in war. An army that knows how to learn from top to bottom will be invincible! "

Everyone finally understood Yue Qianli's deep meaning, and they all clapped their hands. Their eyes were full of "stars" when they looked at Yue Qianli.
Yue Qianli originally wanted to say that personality cult was not a good idea, but after thinking about it he gave up. The current guerrilla column had been infused with the faith of the People's Army, and for the time being they had to rely on his personal charm to unite them.

Although this debate has come to an end, its impact on the guerrilla column is far-reaching. A learning army is gradually being formed. Now all that is missing is the core belief.

Once they are infused with faith, they will become a powerful army that cannot be defeated or dragged down. Don't think that Lao Yue is playing tricks. Think about the 50th Army in another time and space. They were low-key when they had faith, but after being infused with faith, they were pulled to the Korean battlefield, became famous in one battle, and played at the peak level of light infantry.

It's not just the 50th Army. The reorganized Nationalist troops were all at the peak of light infantry after being deployed abroad.
Some people say that this is because of foreign wars, then why wasn’t it so eye-catching when fighting the Japanese?
Because they only saw the surface, Yue Qianli saw the essence, which is faith!
History has proven that an army with faith will be invincible.

The Nationalist Army also had faith, so they were invincible during the Northern Expedition. With only 100,000 Northern Expedition troops, they formally unified the country in two years. At that time, they often defeated the enemy with fewer troops and achieved miraculous results.
After the Qing organization, the combat effectiveness of the National Army was greatly reduced, and it has never achieved outstanding results again. The reason why it is still persisting now is that it relies on the support of national justice, which is also a kind of belief.

In order to defend their country, the National Army would die bravely. The Battle of Wuhan was almost the last glory of the National Army, and it was all downhill after that.
On the surface, there are still millions of troops, but they have lost their enterprising spirit. Unless the Japanese force them into a corner, they will just muddle through.

In Wuhan, the shrill air raid sirens sounded, and pedestrians ran to the nearest air raid shelters in fear. Since February, the Japanese planes have been bombing Wuhan frequently, and the citizens have long been accustomed to it;
The Japs tried to scare this heroic city with endless bombings, but they were obviously overthinking it. Facing the brutality of the invaders, Wuhan will never surrender!
At Xixiao Airport, teams of unyielding figures rushed towards the majestic fighter planes, among them there were also a large number of Slavic faces, they were members of the Mao Aviation Volunteer Team;
After the German instructors withdrew from China under pressure from the Japanese, while Britain and France were still pursuing a policy of appeasement and the Eagle Sauce was isolating its main forces, Russia provided a lot of support to China.

Not only did they provide a large amount of equipment, they also sent an aviation support team to assist the Chinese Air Force in defending the skies over Wuhan;
Zhou Xin is one of the few pilots who survived the Battle of Shanghai. He has now been promoted to squadron leader and is leading the squadron's best pilots to the battlefield.

After boarding his beloved plane, he made a victory gesture to Lieutenant Colonel Ivanov, the captain of the Russian Air Volunteer Squadron, and then soared into the sky. A new air battle belonging to Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Xin began.
