Chapter 965: The Japanese Army Adjusts Its Deployment


"Is Lao Tzu's Independent Fourth Brigade worse than you," Li Yongfu said with an unconvinced face."

Come on, although your fourth brigade is okay, it's still worse than our independent seventh brigade."

Chang De said with a disdainful face."

You" Li Yongfu was suddenly unhappy, stood up and was about to have a good theory with Changde, at this time Li Guotao hurriedly interrupted his words, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, don't be like him, let's continue to talk about business, don't pay attention to him." ”"Hmph" Li Yongfu snorted coldly and glared at Chang De fiercely, Li Guotao hurriedly glanced at Chang De and signaled him not to do much, Chang De just smiled and didn't say anything more.Li Yongfu sat down satisfied, and said with a serious face: "I also said this to the commander at the time, but guess what the commander said." ”"Don't sell the book if you rely on you, just get to the point."

Chang De said with a dissatisfied face.Li Yongfu didn't even glance at Chang De, and then said to Li Guotao: "The commander said, there is no strongest, only stronger.What's more, although our current troops are only stronger than the little devils in terms of fighting will, there is still a considerable gap between them and the little devils in terms of training and weaponry, and we will definitely not be able to take advantage of the same strength, so we must develop more powerful. ”Li Guotao nodded and said with a serious face: "The commander is right, although our troops continue to grow and develop, there are also many problems of one kind or another.The next battle situation can only get worse, and we must further develop and grow, so you two must not be complacent. ”"Then what should we do next," Chang De asked with a serious face, frowning.Li Guotao said with a serious face: "In the next period of time, we will further strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops in accordance with the instructions of our superiors.First, in terms of training, it is necessary to further strengthen training, especially in the aspect of coordination and cooperation among various units, which must be regarded as the top priority.In the past, we mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare, and most of them fought small-scale battles, so all units lacked the ability of large corps to coordinate operations, so we must change this situation as much as possible and improve the combat capability of our army's large corps. ”"Hmm" Li Yongfu nodded and said: "Guotao is right, according to the current situation, we can basically conclude that this time the headquarters must have a big strategic deployment, and there will definitely be many big battles in the future, and there will be many evil battles to be fought, and our army does have many deficiencies in this regard." ”Li Guotao nodded and continued: "Another point is that in terms of weapons and equipment, our army is poorly equipped, especially in terms of heavy weapons, which is extremely scarce.As a result, our army is simply unable to undertake large-scale offensive combat tasks, which is also one of our army's biggest weaknesses, so we should find ways to improve it as soon as possible. ”"What you said is light, how to improve it With the current production capacity of our arsenal, at most we can only imitate some heavy machine guns and light mortars, and the output is very low, in this case, how to improve the weapons and equipment of our army" Chang De frowned and sighed and said."

No matter how big the difficulty is, we can overcome it, can't we even overcome this difficulty, there are no guns, no artillery, the enemy has made it for us.If we can't make it ourselves, we will find a way to find a little devil to rob it.When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression first broke out, we had nothing, and the situation was even worse than the current situation, and we still pulled up such a division of a hundred battles, and now our situation is better than two years ago, I don't know how many times, can we retreat in the face of difficulties, in short, no matter what method we use, we must improve our army's weapons and equipment as soon as possible, and enhance our army's ability to attack tough battles, so that we can cope with the next battle situation. ”Li Guotao said with a serious face.Chang De nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, just do what you say, it's just these things, how to implement them, what plans do you have." ”Li Guotao shook his head and said: "Not yet, we can discuss specific things slowly, don't think about being lazy these days, think about these things." ”With the changes in the war situation, the Japanese army also began to adjust the deployment of troops in China.In September 1939, in order to consolidate its rule in the occupied areas of China, unify the deployment of troops, and facilitate the implementation of political strategies against the Nationalist Government, the Japanese base camp ordered the formation of the "China Dispatch Army", with Nishio Shouzo as the commander-in-chief and Itagaki Seishiro as the chief of the general staff, and set up the headquarters in Nanjing, and at the same time abolished the Central China Dispatch Army.The Chinese Dispatch Army commanded the North China Front, the 11th Army, the 13th Army, the 21st Army, and the 3rd Flying Group, with a total of 23 divisions and 17 brigades and regiments, with 850,000 troops.Note: On the Japanese side of North China, excluding the Kwantung Army in the northeast region, on September 12, due to Sugiyama Moto's tenure as commander of the North China Dispatch Army, he never did anything, but suffered repeated defeats.The Japanese headquarters ordered Sugiyama to be relieved of his post as commander of the North China Dispatch Army, and Sugiyama was transferred back to China.Lieutenant General Tada, the former commander of the Third Army, was ordered to succeed Sugiyama and became the third commander of the North China Dispatch Army.After Tada Jun took office, he immediately mobilized a large army to carry out a large-scale sweep in the southeastern region of our Shanxi Province.At the same time, in order to strike at the will of the Chinese army to resist the war and destroy the troops of the 9th Theater of China, the Japanese 11th Army concentrated about 100,000 troops of the 6th, 33rd, 101st, and 106th divisions and 3 brigades, and under the command of Commander Okamura Ninji, adopted the policy of rushing and attacking Changsha, and the First Battle of Changsha broke out.In order to break the strategic attempt of the Japanese army, the acting commander of the 9th Theater of Operations of China commanded about 400,000 troops of more than 30 divisions of 16 armies to adopt the operational policy of resisting and luring the enemy into depth one by one, and to eliminate the attacking Japanese army near Changsha.The battle was mainly fought in three directions: northern Jiangxi, northern Hunan and southern Hunan.After a month of hard fighting, the Chinese army finally defeated the Japanese offensive on Changsha and completely crushed the strategic intentions of the Japanese army.In this battle, the Chinese army successively killed and wounded more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and blew up more than 20 Japanese planes.However, China also paid a heavy price for this, according to post-war statistics, in this battle, the Chinese army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and the property damage and civilian casualties are incalculable.But the victory at the First Battle of Changsha was also significant, as it was at a critical juncture when Poland was defeated and Europe was in crisis.In this battle, the Chinese army dealt a head-on blow to 100,000 invading Japanese troops, thwarting its goal of annihilating the main force of the 9th Theater, thus helping to arouse the attention of people from all walks of life in Europe about the situation in China, and greatly boosting the morale of the anti-Japanese fighters in China at that time.aa2705221:
