Chapter 15 Guan Gong and Qin Qiong

Facing the early morning sunshine, Zhang Yunfei and others returned to the Independent Regiment's station, saying they were going to conduct reconnaissance. However, Zhang Yunfei felt that it was not much of a reconnaissance, at least there were not many surprises in the Japanese military arrangements.

The Japanese are very rule-abiding. Their military tactics are all based on the same routine. They divide their troops to rush in, make detours and outflank them, and then launch a battle of annihilation to attack the enemy. With these three axes, they can defeat the Kuomintang without mercy.

The Japs' tactics are very weak against the Kuomintang troops. It is biased to say that first-rate soldiers, second-rate generals, and third-rate commanders are just replacing all the commanders on the battlefield with famous World War II generals. They will probably lose faster. The Kuomintang's command system is too complex.

The confusion, coupled with the fact that the various factions do not belong to each other and do not trust each other, slows down the army's ability to adapt, and they are hit by the enemy accurately. The more people they have, the more chaotic their troops are, and the more complex the tactics, the more chaotic they are. In addition, the enemy's detours

By outflanking and intersecting, the entire battlefield was completely in chaos.

However, the Japanese tactics were ineffective against the Eighth Route Army, or the Eighth Route Army in turn restrained the Japanese tactics. The more you divide your troops, the better. The more you divide, the better. Anyway, I will attack one place together.

It's like a group fight. You don't pay attention to the opponent's dispersed encirclement formation. They rush in and everyone targets one person to beat them. After beating them, they run away. No matter how awesome your tactics are, it's useless. It's just so unreasonable.

While Zhang Yunfei was studying in the cadre training class, the Independent Regiment ambushed the Japanese transport troops. Well, of course it was a flattering statement. In fact, it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army that ambushed the Japanese. The Independent Regiment was purely auxiliary, defending a secondary blocking position.

More than a dozen soldiers were sacrificed just now. The number of people in the independent regiment that had just increased dropped again.

"Er Gou...Brother, haha, it's the second brother, second brother, you know, good guy, I saw a black mass of Japanese soldiers rushing toward us, a whole division. Do you know what a division is? It's better than us."

The division was even bigger. The company commander said it was the 25th Infantry Division. The infantry almost rushed to our position. We fought hard to push them back. At that time, even one of the infantry rushed in front of me.

He was stabbed to death by my dart. This gun was captured at that time. Ergou, oh no, it’s Er Ge. Do you think I’m good?”

Zhang Yunfei looked at the ugly baby with black lines on his head. If he really had the strength of a division, you could still stand here and brag. Also, you have an old sleeve in your hand that is older than your father. How can you follow the devil?

Seized in hand.

Seeing him jumping up and down, Zhang Yunfei sighed: "Ugly boy, when did you become as out of place as an iron egg? Do you know what Guan Gong is like?"

"Who doesn't know about Mr. Guan? What's wrong?"

"Then why are you showing off in front of me? Go back to your class."

"Hehe, I just exaggerated a little bit." Chouwa said with an embarrassed smile, "Second...brother, you see I have a gun, how many bullets can I support my brother?"

"Go away, I'm going to see your squad leader Qi Dajiu."

"Or just one will do."

"Go away!" Zhang Yunfei stood up to fight.

"Okay, I'm going, I'm going." The ugly kid laughed and ran away for a few steps, then coughed, straightened his body, tugged on the shoulder strap of his rifle, and left with his head held high.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but laugh. Guns are of great significance to soldiers, especially in the Eighth Route Army, which is seriously short of guns. The presence of guns has become an important sign to distinguish between recruits and veterans. No wonder he is so happy, Zhang Yunfei wants to give them to him.

He gave him a few bullets as a congratulatory gift.

But he couldn't do this. The bullets of the Eighth Route Army were valuable items. Without the bullets, even if you had a gun, it would still be a fire stick. Although the bullets were his own, they belonged to the entire platoon. On average, they only had one bullet per person.

It's fine for the people in his own platoon, but it's easy to cause public outrage if it's given to people in other platoons. Naturally, he won't be stupid enough to do such a thing.

Even if you give a bullet to someone, you have to consider all aspects of the problem. You can imagine how scarce the resources of the Eighth Route Army are. In the anti-war drama, people desperately shoot and fire. If you dare to do this in reality, you will definitely be beaten by your own brothers.

You can't take care of yourself, what a waste of bullets.

Zhang Yunfei was quite clear about that battle. Who allowed them to have a regimental commander who graduated from a military academy? He would give them company and platoon-level officers lessons on tactics whenever he had time.

The ambush battle that just passed has naturally become an example. Although the independent regiment made a comeback in this battle, the regiment leader and political commissar were the command system that entered that battle.

The cause was that the Eighth Route Army ambushed a Japs force heading westward, and intelligence said it was a transport unit of a regiment of the Japs' 25th Division.

From the regimental leader's explanation, we learned that there were about 200 cavalry in the vanguard, followed by more than 40 trucks and about 500 people. This configuration was not a joint transport force at all, but a standard search team, a cavalry squadron of more than 100 people.

A squadron of about 100 men and about 50 trucks carries two squadrons of about 400 motorized infantry.

Secondly, at this time, the Japanese did not have the designation of the 25th Division at all. The 25th Division was established after 1940. It was reorganized from various permanent divisions and was called the Osaka Division. For example, their 70th Division

The regiments came from the original Osaka Fourth Division, and the 14th Division came to the 12th Division, etc., so the regiments of the 25th Division are still scattered in other permanent divisions, and it is impossible to appear here. The Japanese II

Since the establishment of the 15th Division, this number has not participated in any battles, and it is even less likely to appear here.

The Eighth Route Army relied on this kind of erroneous intelligence to win the ambush battle. Therefore, when the commander asked us which unit we were fighting, someone would jump out and say it was such-and-such brigade, wing, division or whatever. That was all pure and simple.

Nonsense, even the intelligence system at the Eighth Route Army headquarters can't figure out the enemy's number, so where did you get the intelligence from your one-size-fits-all approach?

For the Eighth Route Army, it was as easy as that if it felt like it could beat the enemy, and if it couldn't beat, just retreat. Moreover, the army changed defenses and moved around. In many battles, even later generations of war history researchers couldn't figure out who they were fighting against.

Although Zhang Yunfei could roughly guess the Japs' serial number, he could not explain the source of his guess. Let Guan Gong fight Qin Qiong and fight Qin Qiong. Anyway, they were all Japs, and it was not important whether he knew the Japs' serial numbers.

Although the Independent Regiment was a secondary player in this battle, it showed its face after all, and the credit naturally goes to the Independent Regiment. The spirit of winning the battle was very different, but it had little to do with the Second Platoon of the Secret Service Company. Although they were nominally part of

The independent regiment did not return to the formation, so they did not participate in that battle. Most of the people in their third platoon were from the second platoon, so naturally this joy could not be conveyed to the third platoon.

They even feel abandoned. This is the disadvantage of the three-unit system. Two of them compete for the first place and the fight is fierce. The other one can only become a small transparent existence and is directly ignored.

The third platoon is playing this kind of role now. Being assigned to the third platoon always gives you a desolate feeling of being abandoned. No matter how big-hearted you are, you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, the current tone of the third platoon is very inconsistent with the independent group.

Morale is low.

Zhang Yunfei had no choice about this. The best way to boost his morale was to have a fight. Beating his opponents would boost their morale. Unfortunately, with the current situation of the third platoon, who could they beat? There was no need to think about the Japanese and puppet troops.

It's just a killing, let alone the brothers' units. How can a bunch of cowards defeat the first and second platoons who are full of fighting spirit and have a large number of people? If you want to take advantage of others, you will probably be pushed to the ground and rubbed, and your morale will suffer.
