Zhang Wei understood very well what Commander Dai meant, the 200th Division was the main attack division, and the main attack division was the main attack division, and the teaching brigade seconded from the new 22 nd Division of the friendly army fought alone, and the scene was really not good.
However, Zhang Wei did not quite believe in the combat effectiveness of the ordinary infantry of the 200th Division, and to put it mildly, with the difference in combat effectiveness between the infantry of the 200th Division and the infantry of the Teaching Brigade, if the two teams were arranged to attack together, Zhang Wei even felt that the infantry of the 200th Division would drag down the attack of the Teaching Brigade.
This is not a good thing to hear, but it is also true, and it can be seen from the attack of the 598th Regiment that the infantry of the 200th Division is more than brave, and its tactics and tenacity are greatly insufficient; from the battle in which a reinforced battalion of the 598th Regiment attacked the Luotang Heights, we can see the real combat level of the infantry of the 200th Division.
At the time of the Fifth Army's statewide review, the infantry of the 200th Division did not achieve good results in the Fifth Army, and the fighting level and fighting quality of its infantry were even worse than those of the infantry of the new 22nd Division.
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Wei did not dare to let the soldiers of the two armies fight together, and his small unit with the teaching brigade as the core must be capable and powerful, and he must not be sloppy at all, so he changed his way of thinking, and slightly adapted, the attack needs to be accompanied by fire support, this support firepower, Zhang Wei did not determine what exactly is needed and how many firearms are needed, but the 20-year-old 82 mortar is a must, this thing is still relatively easy to use in mountain warfare, and mortars can come in handy in mountain warfare.
The 82nd mortar platoon of the heavy fire squadron of the teaching brigade had only two artillery pieces, and the number was not enough, so Zhang Wei wanted the 200th Division to transfer a few more mortars over, and a company or a platoon of 82 mortars could do it, together with the operating mortars, temporarily join the combat sequence of the teaching brigade.
In this way, the troops of the 200th Division both took part in the attack and did not have an impact on the attack.
In the end, Zhang Wei began to prepare to accept the assembled teaching brigade, and prepared to organize the firepower and attack methods of the assault troops, and Division Commander Dai was responsible for the regulation and coordination of the entire 200 divisions, and the cooperation of the two sides was indispensable.
Zhang Wei and the assault troops mainly based on the teaching brigade are a sharp knife, responsible for opening a hole in the Kunlun Pass, and the main force of the 200 divisions commanded by division commander Dai is to use a large number of troops to make progress on the breakthrough opened by Zhang Wei and break through the main defense line of the Japanese army.
The direction of Zhang Wei's assault was not another position, it was still the Luotang Heights, and the mortars on the anticline positions behind the Luotang Heights had just been knocked out, and the defensive strength of the Japanese troops there had plummeted.
After determining the general combat method, Division Commander Dai began to contact the rear, applying for additional artillery to make preparations for a large-scale attack of the entire 200th Division, and the large-scale attack of the 200th Division, Zhang Wei was also very much looking forward to the artillery support that Division Commander Dai had requested from the army, and he did not know how many barreled artillery pieces that Division Commander Dai would be able to bring from the army artillery group to the front line, and Zhang Wei left the command post and prepared to accept and organize and teach the attack troops of the brigade.
When Zhang Wei and Division Commander Dai were planning the attack, the main force of the teaching brigade finally arrived, and the first, second, and third squadrons of the teaching brigade led by Qiu Wei, as well as the heavy fire squadron, all personnel, and all weapons and equipment were transported by trucks from the Fifth Army from the defense line of the New 22nd Division, and rushed to the command post of the 200th Division.
The officers and men of the whole brigade sat quietly on the ground with guns, and the soldiers were all full of red light, and the heavy machine guns, mortars, and ammunition of the heavy fire squadron were neatly placed on the ground, and the soldiers of each squadron did not make the slightest sound, showing very strict military discipline.
It wasn't until Zhang Wei came over that the brothers of the teaching brigade reacted, and they all showed smiles, and they whispered to the brothers around them.
As soon as Zhang Wei appeared, Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, Zheng Yiqun, and Li Shaoyan, the four squadron commanders, immediately surrounded them, and several squadron leaders looked very good.
"Captain, I heard that you won the battle with the engineer platoon" "Captain, don't you know, on the side of the division position, there is no task, the brothers can only eat or sleep, or watch others fight, it really hurts idle birds."
Several squadron commanders said one after another.
Zhang Wei smiled: "It's just a small victory, I'm not here, the brothers are all right."
Qiu Wei said: "Okay, it's just watching others fight, greedy, captain, not long after you left, our new 22nd Division started to fight with the little devils, and the fight was called a murderer, the planes came up, I thought we would get on, but Master Qiu didn't transfer us up no matter what he said, and the brothers just did it and watched, it's boring." ” "How is the battle situation on the side of our new 22nd Division?"
Zhang Wei heard that Qiu Maniac was fighting, and he was also a little worried, although he ate a Takeda brigade, but there was a main force of the 21st Wing behind him, and now he heard from a few squadron leaders, the fight seemed to be very fierce, whether the new 22nd Division could carry it, Zhang Wei was really unsure in his heart.
Mu Chao replied with a big grin: "Captain, don't worry, the dog didn't take advantage, Division Commander Qiu asked the troops on the front line to strengthen the fortifications, block them layer by layer, and blow up the highway again, the devils on the front line are still stumbling to death, in short, our new 22nd Division is fighting very well, let's teach the brigade This group of brothers, they didn't get a fight over there, they just ate and slept." ” Zhang Wei listened to Mu Chao's statement, the new 22nd Division seemed to be playing well, and he was relieved a lot, although he was fighting Kunlun Pass now, but the new 22nd Division was guarding the back road, and the back road was safe, so he could rest assured if he played the front.
"That's good."
These squadron leaders all had something to say to Zhang Wei, Zheng Yiqun pointed to the direction of the troop assembly, and asked Zhang Wei.
"Captain, a group of wounded soldiers from the brigade have also returned, and the wounded soldiers of each squadron have been rebuilt, and there are still dozens of people over there, saying that they are teaching the soldiers of the brigade, the captain, what is the situation?"
Zhang Wei looked over there and saw that there were about 30 soldiers, sitting next to the main force of the teaching brigade, it was the soldiers of the 99th Division that Zhang Wei had collected on the road, and that group of soldiers had collected nearly 100 people in total, and now these 30 or so people are estimated to be soldiers with combat ability after recovery.
Zhang Wei said with a smile: "That's indeed the soldiers of our brigade, what's going on, go and ask He Jinhai, this batch of soldiers, your three infantry squadrons are evenly divided."
As soon as it came to dividing the troops, Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, and Zheng Yiqun, the three squadron leaders of the infantry squadron, were red-eyed at that time, and they didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, just like a hungry wolf, they instantly stayed away from Zhang Wei, and rushed to the soldiers of the original 99th Division with lightning speed, and quickly divided the more than 30 soldiers of the 99th Division and replenished them to each infantry squadron.
The battle losses of the infantry squadrons of the teaching brigade were restored to a certain extent through this replenishment, and each squadron was replenished by about one squad, which was also of great benefit to Zhang Wei's attack plan. ：。
