White Tiger Base.
After receiving the telegram from the headquarters, Ouyang immediately convened a column combat meeting.
Liu Tongluo, deputy commander of the column, Zhao Gang, political commissar of the column, Wang Yaqiao, chief of staff of the column, and Ouyang, commander of the column, attended the meeting.
Ouyang said in a deep voice: "I don't need to say more about the severity and cruelty of this battle in Guangzhou, but I also want to emphasize that the difficulty of this battle will inevitably exceed any battle we have experienced before, and the four of us must be mentally prepared for this." ” "Hmm" At that moment, Wang Yaqiao and Zhao Gang both nodded.
Only Liu Tongluo smiled and said: "Commander, no matter what, let's go to Guangzhou, it's much better than Wuhan, according to the information I know, the current Wuhan battle situation can be said to be a mess." ” Political Commissar Zhao Gang then said: "What Deputy Commander Liu said is very right, our country has a vast territory, and in order to defend Wuhan, the party-state army has successively fought in the four provinces of Hubei, Anhui, Henan, and Jiangxi.
"At the same time, from the perspective of positional defense, the two commanders-in-chief, Cheng Qian and Xue Yue, carried out defensive battles with continuous front-line positions, and used troops one by one, lacking a strong strategic reserve corps, and the Japanese army could completely avoid or storm a national army's position facilities, and the Japanese army's usual tactics were to encircle in a roundabout way, and for this alone, the national army was in a very passive position."
The front-line position seems to be impregnable, but in fact, due to the dispersion of troops, it cannot have the effect of intercepting the Japanese army at all.
This is a simple problem of breaking the surface by point, and there is also a case, which is a battle between France and Germany during World War II, the Battle of the Maginot Line.
The Maginot Line, before the Second World War, was a fortification located in eastern France, which began to be built in 1928 and was basically completed in 1940, at a cost of up to 5 billion francs.
The entire defensive line, made of reinforced concrete, was very strong, and it was extremely difficult to break through even with the most powerful shore guns of more than 300 caliber at that time.
At the same time, the interior of the defensive line had all kinds of artillery, trenches, fortresses, kitchens, power stations, hospitals, factories, etc., and the passages were in all directions, and in the larger fortifications, there were also tram passages, equipped with railguns sufficient to attack 50 kilometers away.
However, the Maginot Line, which had such a strong fortress, was broken by the German army in less than a month, and the strategy adopted by Germany was to outflank and flank the front and rear, which was basically similar to that of the Japanese army.
Even the French army, which was known as "the first in the world" at that time, was defeated, not to mention the national army with backward weapons and equipment.
The Battle of Maginot was fought in May 1940, and the defeat of the Maginot Line also marked a fiasco in the mainstream military idea of "complete defense".
The idea of outflanking and breaking through the surface with a detour has gradually become the mainstream military thinking, and it has been used in the 21 st century.
At that moment, Ouyang said in a deep voice: "Therefore, after we arrive in Guangzhou, we must not adopt the tactics of first-line defense, and we should take the maximum consumption of the Japanese army's vital forces as the main tactical idea." ” "Whether it is guerrilla warfare or positional warfare, we can't go head-to-head with the little devils."
"Our army should take outflanking, front and rear flanking attacks, and multi-point flowering as the main tactics, and attack from all sides day and night, exhausting the little devils, completely dragging them down, and reducing the possibility of their large corps fighting, even if the little devils finally capture Guangzhou, we can't let the Japanese army settle down."
"In short, if we hold on to Guangzhou for one more day, the more we will be able to achieve greater results in the Battle of Wuhan."
Early the next morning, the war machine of the White Tiger Column, after a few days of rest, was once again in full swing.
The 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, and the Independent Regiment, which received orders from the column, also marched to the Baihu base area to rebuild, and as for the defense of the base areas in Zhaozhuang, Hutoushan, and Lanqiaopu, the 385 Brigade temporarily took over, with the cooperation of the local militia reserves.
Eighth Route Army Huangyadong Arsenal.
Liu Tongluo, deputy commander of the column, took the approval document from the headquarters and personally went to the arsenal to receive weapons and ammunition.
After reading the long list, Liu Peng, the factory director, his eyes were red and he was completely shocked 500 38 large covers, 100 Stern submachine guns, 100 flower machine guns, 300,000 rounds of ammunition, 40 boxes of grenades, 10 mortars, 4 92 infantry guns, 2 howitzers, and 1,000 rounds of various artillery shells, in addition to a large amount of military supplies.
Liu Peng, the director of the factory, shook his head violently: "No, you killed me, and there are not so many, you better find someone else."
"Huh" Hearing this, Liu Tongluo smiled and said: "That's not good, I won't look for you, I'll look for anyone."
"You see, I came with the approval of the head of the headquarters, no matter what, you have to find a way for me to raise everything, otherwise I can only move by myself, but you can think about it, if I do it myself, it will not be the slightest bit."
For a while, the factory director Liu Peng had the heart to die.
Good guys, our arsenal has been working day and night, and you have come to the door with the approval of the headquarters, and basically completely wiped out the family resources of the arsenal.
Squeezed dry "Hey" Immediately, the factory director Liu Peng beat his chest and gritted his teeth in agreement.
"When I met your White Tiger Column, count me Liu Peng as having fallen into eight lifetimes of blood mold, go, what are you still doing in a daze, follow me to get equipment" A similar situation is constantly being staged. 129 Brigade of the 386th Division.
After reading the approval document, brigade commander Chen Geng almost jumped up in anger.
Pointing at the chief of staff Wang Yaqiao and scolding: "Good guy, Lao Tzu just did a fight in Lei Lei Gongling a few days ago, in order to support your White Tiger Column in the battle, how many weapons and ammunition has our brigade consumed." ” "I haven't asked you for a reward for the White Tiger Column, you can do it, with the approval of the head of the headquarters, the fox came to me for something, I tell you, there is no door, that is, the division commander and the boss of the headquarters are here, I also say this, there are no people, no weapons and equipment, nothing" "Fuck off.
Hey, shout, why don't you leave and wait for me to invite you to dinner."
At that moment, Wang Yaqiao smiled and said nothing, not angry at all.
"Dingding, Dingding" At this moment, the phone on the table rang, and the brigade commander Chen Geng glanced at Wang Yaqiao angrily and picked up the phone.
"Hey, I'm Chen Geng, who are you?"
"Oh, boss, good" "What do you instruct?"
"Hey, boss, you killed me, you see if my life is worth those dozens of boxes of grenades."
"Okay, this time I'll smash the pot and sell iron."
Chen Geng hung up the phone angrily, glared at Wang Yaqiao, and shouted, "Laugh at the fart, let's take care of the guy with me." ” "Hahaha" Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao laughed and said: "Brigade Commander Chen, don't be stingy, I also know that it is not easy for you, when this battle is over, Commander Ou and I will definitely invite you to drink, and we have borrowed weapons and ammunition from you, we will definitely return them to you in the future."
"You can pull it down" Chen Geng almost laughed angrily, and said angrily: "You White Tiger Column, don't I understand yet?"
"The entire Eighth Route Army belongs to your commander Ouyang, who is the most picky, and you are the name of the iron rooster, you came for nothing."
"I always see him get a guy from someone else, I've never heard of him, the iron rooster plucked out, this time I admit it, don't say borrow the word, he Ouyang can invite me to a drink, I'm thankful."
When the words fell, Wang Yaqiao could only smile bitterly.
Ouyang was fortunately not here, if he was here, he might have to jump out of anger. stingy Lao Tzu is called thrift, which is a virtue Besides, you have seen a few people's teachers who are generous The second shift was sent, and the third shift was continued. t1706231537:
