Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"Good job, North Bank! Quickly, order the follow-up troops to follow up, consolidate the position as quickly as possible, gain a firm foothold on the North Bank, and further expand the results of the battle! Engineers immediately follow up and build more pontoon bridges!"

Song Guoan on the south bank was very excited and issued further combat orders.

Regardless of whether the devils will launch a crazy counterattack, anyway, the fat in the mouth cannot be spit back. Before dark, the results of the battle must be expanded and a sufficiently strong bridgehead position must be established.

Soon more infantry, tanks, armored vehicles, and engineers rushed down Heti.

Those who crossed the river and those who built the pontoon bridge were busy. All the soldiers completely ignored the devil soldiers who were staring at them in the distance with their eyes spitting fire.

Half an hour later, after cleaning the battlefield and initially repairing the occupied devils' defensive positions, the tank troops started the harvesting mode again under the coordinated operations of engineers and infantry, and continued to push across the Japanese positions on both sides.

The red-eyed devil soldiers naturally refused to give up an inch, fighting in the fortifications everywhere, and launched a life-and-death offensive and defensive battle with the Huben army.

The headquarters of the Gaomi Huben Army.

"Report! The 2nd Army broke through the devil's first line of defense, and is currently consolidating its position and expanding its results."

"Report, the 3rd Army has completed a frontal breakthrough, has broken into the devils' defense line along the river, and is engaged in a fierce battle with the counterattacking devils."

"Report, the 4th Army has entered the Japanese positions..."

"Report, the 5th Army smashed through the Japanese defense line and occupied a forward position of more than 10 kilometers..."

After receiving the latest victory information from the front, Miao Dadong finally let out a long breath of relief.He patted the table happily and said:

"Haha, the devil's tortoise shell is nothing more than that. It took only half a day for it to be smashed one after another. At this speed, we will be able to gain a firm foothold on the other side of the river before dark."

Jiao Xuezhi, the staff officer of the command headquarters, seconded with a smile on his face: "Yes, although there were some small twists and turns today, in the end, our offensive is still very effective and sharp, and we have fully achieved the expected combat objectives."

Miao Dadong said with a smile: "At the end of the day, the guys in our hands have enough things to do, otherwise how can we be so relaxed and happy? As the chief executive often said, the caliber is justice, and the truth is always within the range of the cannon." Inside!"

Jiao Xuezhi quickly nodded his head and said, "That's right! That's right! If we didn't have the foundation laid down by the chief executive, and the favorable conditions created for us by the chief executive, if we want to open up the defense line along the river that the devils painstakingly managed, we really don't know how many people will die. !"

At this time, Pi Shengjun, the deputy commander of the 1st Army, asked Miao Dadong eagerly: "Sir, is it possible for our 1st Army to start fighting? Although Jinan Prefecture is a hard bone, our 1st Army is not eating dry food." Yes!"

"It makes you anxious!"

Miu Dadong smiled, then nodded and said: "The brothers' troops have made breakthroughs one after another, and our 1st Army really can't be left behind, it's time to start entering the field.

Deputy Commander Pi, pass on my order. The 1st and 7th Divisions will immediately launch an attack on Huilongling, Yanchi Mountain, and Maoling Mountain according to the original plan. "

"Attack must be overcome, defense must be firm, and battle must be victorious!"

After a pause, Miao Dadong said in a heroic tone: "The chief executive and you brothers are about to go to Africa, we must fight well, and use the record that we can show to the chief executive and you brothers!"

"Yes! The attack must be conquered, the defense must be strong, and the battle must be victorious! Please rest assured, all the soldiers of our First Army will definitely submit a satisfactory answer!"

Pi Shengjun saluted very excitedly. It is the dream of all the soldiers to show their faces in front of the chief. Presumably the officers and soldiers of the 1st Army will definitely work together to achieve impressive results in a short period of time.

Yangon Myanmar Theater Command.

"Ah!"

Yang Fan was sharpening his gun on the podium to explain the military theory and tactics of tank warfare to the generals. He suddenly felt his nose itchy, and then he couldn't help but sneezed.

"The boss has worked hard, drink some tea to moisten your throat!"

Standing aside as an assistant, Liao Youtian immediately handed over a cup of hot tea with both hands without losing the opportunity.

"Ok!"

Yang Fan nodded, took a big sip after taking the water cup, put down the teacup and said to everyone with a smile: "There are still two days before the official start. At this time, everyone should warm up the kang with their wives and children. The family has a good get-together and has a good time.

But there is no way, this time we will face the Afrika Korps led by the famous German general Rommel, we must pay the utmost attention to it, and do more homework before departure.

Don't blame me for being too wordy and unkind! "

Chapter 1222

Although he has a lot of trump cards in his hands, Yang Fan still has a sense of awe for Rommel, a famous historical general, and the German army with extremely plain makeup.

After deciding to go to the African battlefield, he collected a large amount of information and integrated his own memory, spent a few days writing targeted military theory courses, and conducted emergency training for all middle and high-level generals.

"Boss, where is this, we are too happy!"

"Yeah, what a blessing it is to be able to listen to the chief executive's personal explanation!"

"That's right, listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books. The military theory and tactics explained by the chief in the past two days have made us all enlightened!"

"Hey, it's good for a wife and children to be hot on the kang, but a man has ambitions everywhere, and we are far from the time to indulge in pleasure!"

"Yes, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"

After Yang Fan finished speaking, everyone in the room chatted and laughed with ease.

"It's good that everyone doesn't feel bored and long-winded! Then let's get down to business and continue to explain the cooperation between Butan and Tank.

The theory I am explaining now is largely based on the scriptures. I have told you many of the contents before, and many of you here have also heard them.

But it doesn't matter, learn the new by reviewing the past, many things need a process of continuous improvement and improvement, and they are not static.

So if you have anything you want to ask or say, you can freely speak up and discuss it together. No one here is an absolute authority, and there is no absolute standard answer. "

After speaking a few opening remarks, Yang Fan immediately picked up chalk and began to draw on the blackboard.

Soon, after drawing the schematic diagram, Yang Fan continued to explain: "The so-called infantry-tank coordination is by no means simple tank guidance, and the infantry follow-up is as simple as that.

True infantry-tank coordinated tactics require close coordination between infantry and tanks. "

"Many people think that tanks not only have thick armor, but also have powerful firepower, so tanks don't need infantry protection, and they can have the ability to fight independently. This view is extremely wrong."

"Yes, although the tank not only has thick armor, but also has very powerful firepower, but due to the narrow field of view, it is easy to be destroyed by anti-tank weapons.

In particular, the current individual anti-tank capabilities of the Japanese army are rapidly improving. The so-called "one loss gains one's wisdom". The devils have suffered so much from our tank troops, and they will definitely continue to strengthen their anti-tank capabilities.

For example, in the Battle of Burma, when our army’s armored tanks broke through in the blitzkrieg, many tanks were blown up by Japanese anti-tank rocket launchers, or even blasters with explosives!

Under the crazy counterattack of the Japanese infantry, the loss of tanks and armored vehicles is really not a small amount.

Therefore, we must keep in mind that the protection of tanks and infantry is mutual, unless the two sides are engaged in a large-scale tank battle, under normal circumstances, both infantry and tanks need to cooperate with each other! "

"The blackboard shows a standard infantry-tank coordinated combat team."

After a pause, Yang Fan pointed to the diagram on the blackboard and said: "The tank in the middle is responsible for attracting enemy firepower and providing cover for our own infantry.

On the right side of the tank are two combat teams led by the deputy squad leader, they are composed of the bazooka team and the observation team.

The observation team consisted of two people, one observer and one sniper.

The rocket team also has two people, a rocketman and an ammoman. "

"On the left side of the tank are three combat teams led by the squad leader: two machine gun teams and a rocket team,

Each machine gun team consists of two machine gunners plus two ammunitionists, and the rocket team consists of a rocketman and two ammunitionists.

The three battle groups on the right have a total of ten people. "

"This is a standard infantry-tank coordinated battle group."

Speaking of this, Yang Fan paused for a while, glanced around and then said: "The next thing I want to talk about is the communication between infantry and tanks.

As I said before, tanks have a very narrow field of vision, making it difficult to spot dangers ahead, while infantrymen have a wide field of vision, making it relatively easy to spot dangers ahead, such as enemy rocket teams, anti-tank guns, etc.

At this time, the infantry needs to report the danger to the tank soldiers in time.

However, due to the noise of the tank engine and the rolling sound of the track when it is moving, it is difficult to communicate normally with voice prompts.

Even if the other party can communicate through the walkie-talkie, it is quite difficult and inefficient.

At this time, we need to use more effective communication methods to achieve communication. "

Yang Fan picked up the chalk and said while writing: "In this case, the first method is to use the red flag to communicate with the semaphore. Commonly used simple semaphores are as follows:

If the communication infantry raises the red flag and does not move, the tank will stop advancing.

The communication infantry red flag points in one direction, and the tank moves in the direction indicated by the red flag.

The communication infantry holds up the red flag and shakes it from side to side, then points in one direction, and the tank will aim at the direction pointed by the red flag to shoot. "

"In addition to the red flag semaphore communication, there is another communication method commonly used in the battlefield, that is tracer communication.

One of the fire teams of the infantry squad needs to be equipped with tracer bullets. When it finds that the enemy's firepower point needs to guide the tank to shoot, it will continuously fire tracer bullets at the target for guidance. "

"Similarly, if the tank finds danger and needs infantry assistance in combat, it can also fire tracer bullets as a warning...."

Brush brush!

All the officers listened attentively and kept recording with the pens in their hands.

People like Yang Chengliang, Chen Ergou, etc. are better. They have been trained many times before, and they have all these basic knowledge by heart.

As for the newly promoted middle and high-level generals, it was the first time they heard these military theories with their own ears, and they all felt that they were extremely fresh and useful, just like a group of hungry people pounced on the bread, eagerly absorbing knowledge.

"What is done on paper is superficial, but I know that this matter has to be practiced. Theory belongs to theory, and it has to be used in practice to really play a role.

There is no golden rule for the infantry-tank coordination tactics, and there is no fixed pattern that remains unchanged. Because the battlefield is changing rapidly and the environment is constantly changing, the infantry-tank coordination tactics naturally have to be adjusted accordingly.

Regarding this point, everyone must keep in mind that the key is to adapt to the situation and apply it flexibly! "

Speaking of this, Yang Fan paused and said: "In the past, although we knew these basic theories well, it can even be described as memorizing them thoroughly.

But I have to say that our actual application is far from enough, and there are many problems.I didn’t talk about it before, because there are many objective factors in it, but after arriving in Africa, we must pay great attention to it, and we must think about it and improve it.

Because when the time comes, the enemy we are facing is currently the most powerful army in the world, and there is no one! "

Chapter 1223

"At this time, some people may ask if there are a hundred or even a thousand infantry combat teams on the battlefield? Do we still have to adopt the same tactics?"

After Yang Fan asked a hypothetical question, he continued to explain:

"That's right, when more than a hundred or even thousands of tanks are gathered together, the infantry-tank coordination tactics just mentioned can no longer be used."

"Otherwise, infantry and tanks will be crowded together and interfere with each other. If this is the case, instead of mutual protection, infantry and tanks will become obstacles!"

After scanning around with Yang Fan, he patted the blackboard lightly and said: "So at this time, the commander has only two choices, one is to limit the number of infantry and tanks attacking, and the other is to change to a coordinated infantry-tank tactic.

Next, this is the blitz that I want to explain to you again! "

"Everyone should have heard that blitzkrieg is a kind of infantry-tank coordination tactic proposed by a German officer named Guderian.

In the traditional sense, infantry-tank coordinated tactics are coordinated operations between a tank and an infantry group. However, with the development of the times, people have found that when more than a hundred or even thousands of tanks are gathered together, this traditional strategy is more effective. The technique doesn't work.

So Guderian boldly put forward the idea, can one hundred or even a thousand tanks be regarded as one, and then one division or even ten divisions should be regarded as an infantry group, and then the infantry and tank coordination tactics should be used? "

"If this is the case, the assault force that this 'Inch-Tank Coordinated Combat Team' composed of hundreds of tanks, and one division or even ten divisions can exert will be extremely amazing!"

"Because the arrows of this 'giant infantry-tank coordinated battle group' are hundreds of tanks, no one can stop them!"

"Even if it is a defensive chain made of reinforced concrete fortifications, it is also a mantis arm in front of this attacking arrow!"

"This sharp arrow will easily crush the enemy's defense line and penetrate into the depth of the enemy's defense with the momentum of destructive and overwhelming.

And this is the blitzkrieg pioneered by Guderian! "

"Boss, how is this possible?"

Just as Yang Fan finished speaking, Hu Yousheng, the brigade commander who had just been promoted to major general, raised his hand curiously and asked, "The tanks move extremely fast, how can the infantry keep up?"

"Ha ha!"

"Brigade Commander Hu, you are still too young!"

"I'm just as dazed as I was back then, but I still have too little experience!"

As soon as Hu Yousheng's words fell, the "old people" on the side all showed smiling faces, joking with each other.

"Brigade Commander Hu Yousheng, right? Just ask if you don't understand, it's a good habit!"

Yang Fan didn't sneer because of this, but nodded with a smile, and explained seriously: "In such a large-scale blitzkrieg, infantry mobility is indeed a big problem.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the infantry division is equipped with a sufficient number of trucks and armored vehicles, this problem can be solved.

To put it bluntly, it is not ordinary infantry divisions that cooperate with tank assault groups to fight, but motorized and mechanized motorized infantry divisions or mechanized infantry divisions! "

It was by virtue of the blitzkrieg tactics that the German army destroyed Denmark in less than four hours, and three countries in succession, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands in less than three days, and then in less than a month. France! "

"Still, by virtue of this tactic, the German army actually penetrated more than 2000 kilometers into the Soviet Union's borders in less than a month, encircling and annihilating the three front armies of the Soviet Red Army and 550 million troops in one fell swoop. beat!"

"Therefore, there is no doubt that the lightning tactic has been used by the Germans to perfection, and their tactic is extremely powerful!"

After a pause, Yang Fan glanced at the crowd with sharp eyes and said, "Because, in the near future, we will encounter the German army.

If we don't earnestly study and master the theory of blitzkrieg, then one day in the future, when we encounter the blitzkrieg of the German army in the African battlefield, we will be helpless and can only wait for death!
