Chapter 96 Ideas
Looking at the backs of the teams set off one after another, Guo Bingxun said to Yang Zhen: "Commander, are your requirements too high? Not to mention that they are difficult to accept these things for a while, even when I was studying in France, I had never seen the British and French army have these things. Where did you learn these things, like that sign language?"
"If they can really master this technology, it will be of great benefit to their upcoming activities. At least when visibility is good and the enemy situation is serious, you can not make any sound when communicating information."
"I know you did this to make them come back alive in this mission that is likely to go without returning, just like what you told Li Mingrui, Huang Dali and Dong Ping last night. But this time is so short, our soldiers are generally low in education. Most of them don't know even big words, let alone elementary school."
"If these illiterate and semi-illiterate soldiers accept these extremely advanced military concepts in such a short period of time, even in the Western army with a relatively high level of education, how could they be so fast? They only learned to walk, and you can't force them to run away immediately."
"But, Commander, these things you are really practical. If they can really master and use them proficiently, at least in this mountain, there is no unit that can take advantage of them if the force is not much different."
Hearing what Guo Bingxun said, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "I am a little impatient. I just want them to survive as much as possible in the cruel environment they are about to face. They seduce the enemy alone, and the situation they are about to face is far from what we can imagine. These are just the most basic things. If they can really master them, at least they can guarantee that they will not suffer a catastrophe due to sudden ambush."
"This is just the most basic thing? No, Commander, you should know that the things you teach them are not something that ordinary armies can master even in Western powers. Many skills can only be understood by special training troops. Even many skills are not even seen in Western powers' armies."
Guo Bingxun, who had always known that Yang Zhen had never exaggerated his words, could not help but be curious about the fact that Yang Zhen had used three of the most important things to emphasize that the things he taught were just the most basic things. If these were only specially trained troops in the armies of Western powers, they could only master them. Even many skills that even the armies of Western powers had never seen before, were just the most basic things, what would the rest look like?
Regarding Guo Bingxun's curiosity, Yang Zhen stretched out his hand and said, "They just mastered the most basic reconnaissance methods. Let's put it this way, the skills they have mastered now are as far from what I ask them to master as a newborn baby and a strong young man."
"They have now mastered the most basic tactical formation in jungle warfare, arranged defense during rest, determined their general orientation, some of the most basic assassination methods and combat abilities, as well as some of the most basic means of capturing and capturing. As for sign language, it is just the simplest and most basic gestures."
"For example, precise shooting during marching, bare hands fighting, using grenades and equipment that can be used to make boasts, various terrain should adopt different tactics, make-up reconnaissance, how to get rid of military dog pursuits, use the azimuth of the compass, and use all available materials in the absence of explosives, such as laundry detergent, kerosene, soap, etc. **."
"They only learned how to find directions during the day. At night, they have not learned how to find directions without starlight and compass. However, in this regard, those hunters who grew up in the mountains and forests can still deal with them temporarily."
"The traps I taught them can only be used to ensure that they are not attacked during rest. They use local materials to set traps to block the enemy's pursuit, and even use some small traps, mechanisms and other things to capture prisoners, how to pretend that they are not discovered by the enemy, so they are still far from being tactical. There is also tactical Japanese, you can't even understand what the other party says, how to fight against the opponent? As for the others, they still have to learn a lot."
Yang Zhen finished speaking with the previous finger. After he roughly finished speaking, his fingers stretched out had already been put on twice. Finally, he said: "These are the most basic things I want them to master. As for not being more advanced, they are limited to some constraints, and can only wait for the future depending on the situation."
When he heard Yang Zhen talk about his request, especially the subjects that Yang Zhen said were the most basic things. In a daze, Guo Bingxun couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Commander, is this the most basic thing? I don't think I learned so much when I was in the French military academy."
Regarding Guo Bingxun's feelings, Yang Zhen sighed for a long time and said, "Old Guo, the situation we face is cruel and severe. We are now in a battle without a rear, and we can only rely on ourselves to seize all supplies, and we cannot obtain even one shot and one ammunition from the outside world. Moreover, in this place, where the Japanese and puppet forces have an absolute advantage, it is difficult to replenish soldiers even if it is a soldier."
"Under this situation, every one of us warriors, especially those veterans who have participated in several battles, is extremely precious to us both now and in the future. Not to mention assembling equipment, weapons, or consumption, or human resources, we cannot afford it now, or even time."
"Although the battlefield within the Guannei is cruel, we are far from comparable to that within the Guannei. Most of the battlefield within the Guannei are backed by the rear, and it is very convenient to replenish soldiers. And the situation, especially the foundation of the people, is much better than here. In this severe situation where even the minimum number of soldiers cannot guarantee, what we can do is to reduce sacrifices as much as possible in every battle and retain more combat backbones."
"Old Guo, you have a pretty good vision. Although the soldiers you selected this time are subject to innate conditions and low education. However, they are strong and have participated in battles more than once. Although their experience is still somewhat lacking, the danger of this attack is also very high. But for them, it may be a kind of exercise. If these people can withstand this test and train them well, they will be a sharp knife in our hands."
"Old Guo, I just said that the situation we face is difficult and even more cruel. In the case where nothing can be compared with the Japanese and puppet troops, how to find a way to reduce casualties in battle is an important test for us as commanders."
"I still say the few victories we have achieved before. It's not that the Japanese and puppet troops are too weak, but that we are too lucky. The Japanese and puppet troops were unable to understand our combat characteristics for a while, so they gave us these opportunities. But this situation will not continue forever, or even for a long time. When the number of battles is too many, the Japanese will sooner or later understand our combat laws with their Japanese reaction ability. And that day will be the real test for us."
"What we are different from the Japanese and puppet troops is not just training and equipment. Almost everything we are different from the Japanese and puppet troops, at least now. So we have to study all possible tactics and find ways to win."
"Old Guo, have you ever thought about what would happen if we had a special force moving behind enemy lines when we fought with the Japanese, knocking down the Japanese artillery positions during the battle, knocking down the Japanese supply points, cutting off the Japanese supply lines, and even exposing the Japanese command center?"
"Old Guo, the battlefield is not a place where gentleman demeanor is concerned. As long as you can win the battle, you must take various measures. We are not Duke Xiang of Song, and the Japanese are not good things. As long as you can win the battle, even the so-called rogue means of hitting and putting anesthetics must be used when necessary."
"I have been thinking that the Japanese only adopted the siege tactic this time, but did not adopt the usual tactic of pulling nets and clearing out the anti-counterfeiting. The reason is definitely not just because we have not yet figured out our specific location and insufficient troops. They must have studied our previous combat experiences and discovered some characteristics of our army's combat before adopting this tactic of turning passive to active."
After hearing Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun pondered for a long time before answering: "Commander, did we already have this idea when we broke through in Harbin? You always bring Li Mingrui by your side and always find ways to give him a chance to exercise. You don't want him to be the commander of the troops in your mind, right?"
Speaking to smart people is indeed easy to deal with. Yang Zhen just expressed his general thoughts, and Guo Bingxun guessed his general thoughts.
Yang Zhen did not deny Guo Bingxun's question and nodded directly: "Yes, I had this idea as early as the Japanese concentration camp broke through. In that night battle, we suffered such a huge loss in front of the Japanese who were at a disadvantage in the number of people, and almost lost one-third of our brothers."
"That night battle brought me a lot of thoughts. When I was trapped in Wudaoling Iron Mine, I thought a lot. Not only did I want to think about the difference between us and the Japanese in combat, but more of the future, I think about various tactical thoughts in the Japanese in combat."
"The gap in combat effectiveness and equipment can be partially compensated by appropriate tactics. We are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of weapons and equipment, and even in terms of number of people. We cannot make up for the gap in equipment on the battlefield of Guannei. In a battle, we can concentrate several times or even dozens of times the opponent's strength."
"So, I considered that if we could form a team that had received special training, the number of people would not be too large. With short and concise as the main combat method, we could move behind enemy lines. When we were fighting with the Japanese, we could destroy the Japanese artillery, commanding organs, and supplies, which would be a great support for the main combat. It might even change the enemy-to-me situation on the battlefield."
"If we had a small force with strict training in that night, we could suppress the Japanese and cover the main force's breakthrough, and we could avoid many unnecessary casualties. And the situation that night would not be less encountered in future battles."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen sighed and said, "It's a pity that due to the limitations of conditions and time, my ideas have been unable to be carried out for a long time. Our conditions are too simple. What we lack is not only weapons and equipment, but all equipment is lacking."
"I want to teach them how to use the compass azimuth marching tactics, but our compass is only the few that Huang Dali seized. Apart from leaving two for the command center to use, it is not enough to evenly distribute it to each team."
"There is also a lack of weapons. Mountain combat, especially in this kind of mountainous areas with dense vegetation, the distance between the two sides will not be too far. In terms of firepower requirements, it requires more firepower density rather than firepower accuracy."
"No matter how high your shooting accuracy is, but the rate of fire is not enough. When trees are everywhere and your vision is seriously blocked, if the first shot is not hit, you may never have a chance. So in this terrain, the most suitable weapon for team combat is not a rifle, but a large number of submachine guns."
"But the submachine guns we seized were not only seriously insufficient in quantity, but also the most basic ammunition was consumed with the battle, and when there were almost no seizures, they were consumed. In addition to a small number of fast and slow machines, they could only use carriage guns that were not very suitable as standard equipment."
"There are also every one of them who should be equipped with combat pistols, but the pistols on our hands are almost no reliable combat pistols to use except for the unreliable and poor penetration Japanese southern pistols. And it is better not to give them those southern pistols that require strict maintenance."
"We don't have a dagger that each of them needs to be distributed. We can only issue a dagger to each team with a rifle bayonet and modify it to make it a short knife that is not very suitable to alleviate the urgent need."
"The serious lack of light automatic weapons not only affects their battles when they encounter the enemy, but also has a great impact on the entire army. Our ability to fight hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese is too different. We are far inferior to those Japanese who have received strict training. Therefore, before the troops' ability to fight hand-to-hand combat is equal to the Japanese, we can only find another way."
"The combat effectiveness of the Japanese individual soldiers is fierce, but their combat effectiveness is not only reflected in individual combat capabilities, but in tactical combinations. This is not only in combat, but also in hand-to-hand combat. As long as the three of them form a back-to-back combination, our soldiers will be basically helpless."
"I have a feeling that when the hand-to-hand combat is inevitable, the Japanese cannot form a combat combination in any case. They must be dispersed or divided as much as possible. Only by dividing them can we have a way to reduce the necessary casualties in hand-to-hand combat."
"In this kind of melee battle, the penetration power of rifle bullets is too great. Although it is inevitable that we can shoot when fighting bayonets, it can easily cause accidental injuries. I have said before that we cannot afford to fight materials, but we cannot afford to fight human power. Therefore, equipping with submachine guns, such as melee intensive weapons, is the best way for us to effectively avoid casualties in hand-to-hand combat. Of course, if there are enough combat pistols, it is also possible."
"But we don't have all the supplies from the enemy, and no arsenal can provide weapons, at least we still cannot get enough submachine guns at present."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen was silent and said, "As for Li Mingrui, you are right, I have made up this idea. Li Mingrui made a fortune in the early years, and he was very experienced and skilled. In addition to being too different in command ability, he is a good candidate in the rest of the aspects. He is also the most appropriate candidate at present. After proper training, it will be of great use in the future."
"I keep him by my side so that I can guide him at any time. Moreover, although he is very skilled, he has too many erotic postures. The battlefield emphasizes one-hit attack, not participating in martial arts competitions. At least half of his erotic postures are useless."
Just as Yang Zhen was about to continue speaking, his words were interrupted by Peng Dingjie who rushed over. Peng Dingjie handed Yang Zhen a telegram: "Commander, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang's telegram."
