Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 418: It's no different from the battlefield, just attack their weaknesses! (Subscribe!)
Arrangements for guests upstairs.

Sun Ming also asked for instructions in advance.

This is also to avoid problems.

In the private room of Tianzi No. 1.

"Principal, how are you today?"

"I'm happy today, so I'll make an exception."

Toast.

It's just a ceremony after all.

There are still quite a few people drinking.

But everyone has a degree in their hearts.

Have a few drinks.

As for the dishes on each table.

Basically they are all Shanxi dishes.

Let these outsiders have a good experience of what Shanxi cuisine is like.

It’s difficult not to eat enough.

Many of the guests on the second floor were old acquaintances.

Naturally, there are also many people who are dealing with us for the first time.

For example, Du Guangting, the general of the Fifth Army.

This was the first time Chu Yunfei met this senior.

The Fifth Army, the pride of heaven, the iron cavalry lions.

The first mechanized force of the National Government.

This is enough to prove how much Chang Ruiyuan values ​​Du Guangting.

Before Chu Yunfei knocked on the door of the room.

And this general.

At this moment, he was frowning and raising his hand to fan the smoke in front of him.

"Yu'an, we're having dinner."

"What's so good about Shanxi cuisine? It's basically all noodles."

"Brother Yu'an, we are here in Shanxi to attend a Shanxi wedding. If you don't want to serve us Shanxi food, then what should we serve?" Liao Yaoxiang smiled and picked up a piece of meat rolled in noodles on the table.

"Actually, we came here this time in compliance with the old man's military order to observe and learn. Attending the wedding is just a side job." Qiu Yu'an still had a look of aloofness and arrogance on his face, as if he couldn't understand the situation. His fearless character indeed formed a very strong contrast with his original bookish air.

Before Jinling.

Qiu Yu'an can be called a Confucian general.

After Nanjing, Qiu Yu'an's crude behavior and even fighting style showed one thing.

There seems to be something wrong with his brain, and he is also mentally abnormal.

Du Guangting was naturally aware of this. He said solemnly, "No, I really want to make friends with this Whampoa talent. His command ability far exceeds that of all of us."

"In terms of commanding operations, I think at least there is no general in the country who can match him. Take the previous battle in East Henan for example, his decisiveness and agility are rare in the world.

In the Battle of Sanyi Village, the 71st Army, the 74th Army, and the Flying Tiger Honor Division fought in coordination. Or perhaps it could be said that Chu Yunfei's troops cooperated with the rest of the troops in the battle. "

General Haiou never touched the sliced ​​noodles in front of him. The commander of the 200th Division was gesturing with a spoon: "This is enough to prove the high quality of this unit."

Qiu Yu'an said shamelessly: "Our Fifth Army's training volume, training subjects and training level are the best in the entire army."

Facing Du Guangting's warning gaze.

Qiu Yu'an then changed his words: "At least we can compete with the Flying Tigers for the first place. They are the role models of the whole army, and our Fifth Army is also the training model of the whole army."

Du Guangting had a headache.

He even regretted bringing Qiu Yu'an out with him.

Originally, he planned to use the Battle of East Henan as the entry point.

Start communicating with Chu Yunfei.

But given Qiu Yu'an's performance, it might be easy for him to say something wrong during the conversation and offend Chu Yunfei.

It’s really hard to do.

Little did he know that Du Guangting's worries were unnecessary.

Qiu Yu'an played an ignominious role in the early stages of the Battle of East Henan.

Chu Yunfei also didn't like this crazy general.

Even though he made due contributions in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War and had fairly qualified battlefield command capabilities.

There was a knock on the door.

General Seagull raised his eyebrows and said, "Here we come."

After saying that, he stood up and opened the door.

At this time, Qiu Yu'an obediently extinguished the cigar in his hand and sat up straight.

"Brother Yu'an," Liao Yaoxiang smiled. Qiu Yu'an glared at Liao Yaoxiang but did not say anything.

The proud attitude before seemed just like bluffing.

In fact, Qiu Yu'an is more nervous than anyone else.

Perhaps in the heart of this crazy Qiu.

Chu Yunfei is the real madman.

He is a normal person like everyone else.

After the door was opened, everyone saw Chu Yunfei waving and smiling at the officer in the previous box.

Chu Yunfei glanced at the nameplate on General Seagull's chest and immediately greeted him, "Brother Seagull."

"Commander Chu, please..."

"please"

"Brother Guangting, Brother Guiting, Brother Jianchu, Brother Yu'an."

"Commander Chu, please take a seat." Zheng Dongguo, who had not spoken much, stood up and gestured.

Chu Yunfei nodded slightly and motioned Zhao Pengcheng to follow him: "Today is Yunfei's big day, thank you all for coming to support us, everyone... please."

Everyone stood up and clinked glasses with Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei sat back down.

Du Guangting was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to start.

Chu Yunfei quickly noticed the problem and pointed to the Shanxi dishes on the table with a smile: "I apologize for the poor hospitality, seniors."

"Shanxi cuisine is like this, it's not good enough to be served on a table. But as a Shanxi native, I, Chu Yunfei, naturally can't serve you anything else at the wedding banquet."

"No, no..." Du Guangting smiled and said, "It's just that the principal has given us other tasks, so we dare not eat or drink too much."

Chu Yunfei nodded and complimented with a smile: "Brother Guangting, don't worry about it. The principal has already explained this matter to Yunfei. The corresponding arrangements have been made for the observation, exchange and related discussions."

"Our army is currently exploring the establishment of a mechanized assault regiment, so we can have a relatively in-depth exchange with the Fifth Army."

General Haiou was delighted to hear this: "We are currently in the early stages of exploration regarding the use and construction of armored forces. I have heard that Commander Chu has a lot of experience in the tactics and strategies of armored forces..."

Chu Yunfei naturally knew what they wanted to learn.

It's just about knowing how to fight against anti-tank trenches and anti-tank fortifications.

Unfortunately.

No move.

Extensive minefields and anti-tank trenches were dug and set.

Even in the 2000s it was difficult to handle.

They can only rely on relevant mine-clearing vehicles and other mine-clearing tools to open up a route suitable for the armored forces to attack.

In this era, even the Germans would not choose to launch an all-out attack against the French Maginot Line, but would instead take a detour through the Ardennes region.

If the armored forces want to break through the defense line prepared in advance, they will inevitably have to pay a bloody price.

Chu Yunfei naturally wouldn't pour cold water on them at the dinner table.

He just exchanged a few pleasantries with them and agreed that someone would be arranged to take them to visit the Changzhi Comprehensive Training Ground tomorrow.

A few minutes later, Chu Yunfei left and headed to the next box.
One after another.
There were at least eighty generals attending the wedding alone, and the lowest rank was a lieutenant colonel adjutant.

After everyone had greeted each other and toasted, the wedding banquet was basically coming to an end.

Chu Yunfei, who drank tea instead of wine, was still in high spirits.

At this time, he had already sneaked into the bridal chamber and met his legal wife.

At this time, Song Wenying did not stay in the room obediently wearing a veil.

Instead, he took the press release from the newspaper staff, examined it carefully, and gave his own opinion.

The content above is exactly the meeting of all military representatives of the Second War Zone held some time ago.

The focus of the conference's publicity.

Chu Yunfei and Yan Laoxi also had slight disagreements.

What Yan Laoxi and Chang Ruiyuan wanted was to build momentum for Chu Yunfei.

But Chu Yunfei wanted to highlight the soldiers’ dedication and collective contribution.

Song Wenying naturally listened to Chu Yunfei.

The reporting materials prepared by the editors below have also gone through rounds of sorting and selection.

Finally, I selected some relatively satisfactory reports.

"Commander Chu is here"

Song Wenying frowned slightly, as if she hadn't heard him: "Just continue writing in this format. As I said before, focus on the collective contributions, especially those who died in battle."

"The Second War Zone has already been carrying out the burial ceremony and arrangements at the Martyrs' Shrine, and the matter of enjoying eternal incense and offerings must be highlighted."

"As for the payment and tracking of pensions, we must assign someone to track them. As a newspaper, we have a certain degree of supervisory power."

Chu Yunfei walked over and asked, "Are you busy?"

"Yun Fei..." Song Wenying threw the work in her hands aside and stepped forward.

Several editors tactfully left and closed the door.

Zhao Pengcheng was very tactful and took a few guards to guard the outer courtyard.

Just when Song Wenying thought something was going to happen.

Chu Yunfei actually picked up the newspaper beside him and glanced at it: "This report is quite well written."

Just when Song Wenying was sighing in her heart that Chu Yunfei was really a fool.

But his right hand had already embraced her in his arms.

Between men and women.

In fact, there is not much difference from commanding operations.

When launching an attack.

Naturally, we have to choose the "enemy's" weaknesses to attack.

The first is a tentative attack.

Like reconnaissance before a formal attack.

Wait until you find the weakness.

Just started trying to make a breakthrough.

The bodies were entangled together.

roll.

The intensity of the battle will increase.

Until forty minutes later.

The war ended.

Outside the courtyard, Qian Bojun, Wu Ziqiang, and Zhuo Tianyu, who had eaten and drunk their fill, gathered together.

Their purpose was very clear, they just wanted to make a scene in the bridal chamber and join in the fun.

Not far away, Fang Ligong, Zhang Dayun, Sun Weimou and others saw Zhao Pengcheng standing outside the yard, and they tactfully did not move forward.

These staff officers looked at each other thoughtfully and smiled a little lasciviously.

There is no need to explain more about things that men understand.

Qian Bojun and others stepped forward.

Zhao Pengcheng emphasized with a serious face: "Your Excellency has said that no one is allowed to enter this courtyard before dawn tomorrow."

"Your Excellency?"

Zhao Pengcheng raised his eyebrows, and the hint was very obvious.

Wu Ziqiang waved his hands helplessly: "Let's go, let's go to the opera."

Zhuo Tianyu also shouted: "It's rare to have a few days of rest throughout the year, let's go together, let's go together."

Qian Bojun's steps were slightly hesitant, but he still stressed with a straight face: "Even if you are wearing casual clothes, you still have to pay attention to your image!"

The land of gentleness is nice.

But Chu Yunfei will not linger.

The next morning, after having breakfast with Song Wenying, Chu Yunfei hurriedly left his own courtyard.

Then set off for Changzhi Comprehensive Training Ground.

As for Song Wenying herself.

After resting for half a day, he returned to work again that afternoon.

National crisis period.

There is not so much time for romance.

Changzhi Comprehensive Training Ground.

Under Sun Ming's arrangement and prior notification.

Zhou Weiguo naturally had to give these friendly forces some hints.

After watching for half a day.

Du Guangting had already clearly noticed that the positioning of this unit was a little vague.

And he asked Sun Ming immediately.

Sun Ming also had only a vague understanding of the reconnaissance team's current tactical positioning.

Naturally, there is no way to answer Du Guangting's question.

As the car arrived at the Changzhi Comprehensive Training Ground.

Chu Yunfei got out of the car with Zhao Pengcheng and others.

Then, under the guidance of the sentry, he walked towards Du Guangting and his party.

"Brother Guangting, Brother Yu'an, Brother Haiou and the others?"

"I have already left."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Changzhi Comprehensive Training Ground is currently the second largest comprehensive training ground in Shanxi Province in terms of area, and it will be further expanded in the future."

"Mountain warfare training is planned to be carried out in the northwest of Shanxi, so it is possible that corresponding mountain warfare training will be built in the northwest of Shanxi in the future."

Du Guangting nodded thoughtfully: "The chairman once mentioned that he planned to build a comprehensive jungle training ground in Kunming and other areas to train troops in jungle warfare, but he has not yet reached an agreement with Commander Long Yun."

"They resisted the Central Army's entry into Yunnan in the name of training because they were afraid that the Generalissimo would take this opportunity to besiege Wuhua Mountain."

Du Guangting nodded silently: "Yes, the training on jungle warfare must be a preparation for future operations in Southeast Asia."

"The Burma Road..."

Chu Yunfei didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

Today it is today.

There are still many people who believe that the Japanese dare not provoke the Americans.

I don't think there is any need to worry about the Burma Road.

Long Yun naturally held this idea and used it as a reason to reject Chang Ruiyuan.

After a brief chat with Du Guangting.

Then they talked about the positioning of the reconnaissance team.

When we learned that this force was merely a forward-looking tactical practice exploration.

Even Du Guangting was shocked by Chu Yunfei's thoughts.

This unit can be classified as a light-armed force.

It is destined to be unable to undertake higher-intensity combat missions.

It was even quite powerless when facing the enemy's heavy artillery and armored forces.

Such troops seem to be able to be used only in low-intensity tug-of-war battles.

Chu Yunfei only elaborated on the corresponding basic concepts.

For those of them who are engaged in mechanized troops.

It was just a brief introduction to the basic tactical concept.

The key point is just to find a reason and a place for them to go without appearing to be perfunctory.

For the construction and use of mechanized forces.

Du Guangting also has his own ideas, and it can be said that people like Xu Tingyao actually have certain ideas.

Today, the Fifth Army is mainly equipped with equipment provided by the Soviet Union.

The armored vehicle is the very fragile BA-6.

The motorcycle used for reconnaissance was a previously imported German BMW.

The only tank model put into service was the T-26 light tank.

There were eighty of them in total, and their performance was average, but they were enough to fight against the Japanese medium tanks and ensure mutual destruction.

The most critical point is.

Since its establishment, the Fifth Army has accumulated some practical experience in addition to the Battle of East Henan.

Basically, I have never been to the battlefield.

This does not mean that they do not have the corresponding combat experience.

Quite the opposite.

The Fifth Army is basically composed of veterans who have returned from injury and they themselves have a wealth of practical experience.

In addition, Du Guangting himself is an expert in training soldiers.

There is actually no problem in describing the Fifth Army as a team of elite soldiers and strong generals, as well as iron cavalry and mighty lions.

As for the tactical use of mechanized forces.

Chu Yunfei could only give them some basic advice.

In the reception room.

Chu Yunfei and others sat together.

In front of them is the tactical sand table used by the rotation staff on a daily basis.

Under the command of Chu Yunfei.

The battlefield situation of the anti-armored combat north of Huairen County.

Soon the whole simulation was completed.

Chess pieces representing one's own combat forces are placed on each position.

"As you can see, this battle based on anti-armor tactics was actually only due to better preparations."

Chu Yunfei pointed the baton in the direction of Daiyue Station: "We have built an eight-kilometer-long anti-tank trench in front of the core position in the rear, and concentrated the few anti-tank artillery to ensure that the Japanese armored forces cannot tear through our defense line.

"Once they change their attack direction, they will be bombarded by our mortar units. Although they cannot effectively destroy the enemy's armor, they can quickly clear out the Japanese infantry accompanying them."

"I call this kind of defense echeloned in depth and flexible contraction defense. It is based on artillery clusters with anti-tank positions as the core and artillery as the main means of killing the enemy. I will make real-time tactical adjustments to ensure that we have the initiative in the battle."

"That's why we were able to suppress the Japanese attack with difficulty and gain the opportunity to encircle and annihilate them."

Du Guangting and others actually understood everything.

It’s the last sentence.

Chu Yunfei will make real-time tactical adjustments to ensure that the initiative in the battle is in control.

This sentence.

To be honest, it still sounds very confusing.

How does Ning ensure that he can make tactical adjustments in real time?

Even the main forces under Chu Yunfei's command are not so luxurious as to equip each combat battalion with a radio, right?
Du Guangting and others were not given the opportunity to think about these things.

Chu Yunfei then spoke directly: "Currently, there is basically nothing special about the use of armored forces and mechanized forces around the world."

"Both the Germans and the Soviets are constrained by the current development of equipment and technology."

"It's just an inference from the perspective of its play style and equipment development ideas."

"One common point that can be seen with the naked eye is that they all rely heavily on the concentrated use of armor and the control of air superiority."

“You can’t have one without the other.”

"The fighting in Eastern Europe is now almost over. With the Soviet invasion of Poland, there is basically no room for resistance in this country."

"Let's take the German blitzkrieg as an example. There is nothing special about blitzkrieg. It is about conducting sufficient tactical deception before the battle starts, so that the enemy can relax their vigilance. When attacking, it is a vertical strike with air-ground coordination."

"The Germans are equipped with a large number of fighter planes, which enable them to control the air superiority over the battlefield and accurately destroy the enemy's command nodes and transportation hubs through tactical bombing."

"The spearheads formed by their armored forces can advance 30 to 50 kilometers a day, so they have no time to take care of prisoners. The large number of motorized infantry accompanying the attack may even be out of touch due to the armored forces' high speed."

The group of people from the Fifth Army Department nodded thoughtfully.

Although the Fifth Army is known as the first mechanized army.

But in fact, only the 200th Division can be called mechanized.

Even the 200th Division was a little reluctant.

There were only 200 vehicles in the entire division.

The others are only about a hundred, and most of them rely on human and animal power.

In rural areas with poor infrastructure, it is unlikely that any combat effectiveness can be exerted.

But no matter what, it is the only hope left by the National Government at the moment.

Chu Yunfei would naturally lend a helping hand whenever he could and do whatever he could to help.

"Then regarding the armored assault tactics that the Fifth Army can currently use, does Commander Chu have any good suggestions?"

Chu Yunfei nodded: "First, we need to replace the equipment, the light weapons. We need to replace the old Hanyang rifles with Zhongzheng rifles."

Chu Yunfei knew clearly that the Fifth Army’s biggest problem now was not the use of tactics.

Instead, there is an urgent need to eliminate relatively backward light weapons.

This type of Hanyang rifle should not be equipped in a combat attack army.

All of them should be replaced with Chinese characters.

Make sure to protect the lower limit, and then consider the upper limit.

More than 200 tanks and armored vehicles doesn't sound like a large number.

A larger-scale battle could cost a lot of money.

It will only become a decisive force in local battles on the Chinese battlefield.

The National Government also adopted a cautious attitude towards the use of the Fifth Army, and tried not to use this force until it had fully formed its combat effectiveness.

"When attacking, we also need to concentrate on using tanks, and use armored vehicles as fire support platforms to accompany the assault, tearing open the defense line in a wedge-shaped assault."

"Given the current personnel and equipment of the Fifth Army, it may be difficult to achieve an advance speed of more than 20 kilometers a day, but when facing the second-rate or even third-rate combat units of the Japanese Army, it can be used as a spearhead for attacking."

"So, the best way to use this unit is not to use aces against aces, but to use aces to crush third-rate combat units to drive the entire battle."
