Chapter 508: The Problem of the Company Commander of the New Soldier (Part 2)
Now it is the battlefield, and there are more than 20,000 Japanese troops outside the defense line.
Moreover, after this battle, not only the 18th Division, but also thousands of people in the 36th Infantry Brigade of the Sixth Division and the remnants of the Sixth Artillery Brigade. In terms of force, it has exceeded the total strength of the three Chinese infantry divisions on the defense line.
The independent camp cannot be said to be so comfortable that it is just so easy to reorganize.
Even though the 18th Division, as Tang Dao had expected, remained silent since yesterday morning.
No one can make a 100% sure that they will not launch an attack.
Because of its special nature, the cavalry platoon of the Independent Battalion's spy company did not participate in any reorganization. Except for each person who fired an additional Southern Fourteen-type pistol and received another twenty bullets, there was basically nothing else. So in the morning, Tang Dao announced the complete plan and sent them out.
There are actually not many troops ordered to stay behind the defense line to be repaired. Tang Dao Division, who returned from the battlefield and had to reorganize a new unit, is one of them. However, all troops ordered to be repaired by the officers and soldiers, and do not do anything. They also need to help defend and reconnaise the two wings of the defense line.
The cavalry platoon left the base for up to ten kilometers under the leadership of Lu Sanjiang. It was not only for the independent battalion to conduct a reconnaissance battlefield, but also for the army on the entire line of defense.
Otherwise, if General Wu is so easy to talk to, he would just transfer a cavalry to Tang Dao? That is also the result of the lieutenant general's consideration from a global perspective.
The Independent Battalion, which is being reorganized, is fighting a very badly with an infantry regiment guarding the safety of the left wing of the defense line. If the Japanese army uses tricks to circumvent the two wings, even if it is an infantry regiment, they have to take over.
Moreover, starting this morning, a part of the field hospital carried serious wounded people and began to retreat under the protection of a group of infantry and cavalry, and retreated to the Jiaxing defense line.
Yes, similar to the Xicheng National Defense Line, a few years ago, the Ministry of National Defense began to build two national defense lines in northern Zhejiang, mainly composed of Jiashan and Jiaxing counties. Jiashan National Defense Line is the first and Jiaxing National Defense Line is the second.
In the initial design, if the Japanese army landed on the coastline, the defenders would use Jiashan as the first national defense line. If the Japanese army had a strong power, they would retreat to the Jiaxing national defense line 30 kilometers away after the first national defense line was consumed.
Both national defense lines have permanent concrete fortifications that can prevent heavy artillery. If more than 100,000 troops are stationed, it will be enough to resist the attacks of several Japanese divisions.
This kind of strategic thinking is correct, but war never starts with human will.
Once, after the July 7 Incident broke out in time and space, no one, including the Japanese, expected that the Chinese army would take the lead and directly attack the Japanese army stationed in the financial metropolis of Songhu. As both sides continued to invest their troops, it eventually evolved into the largest battle in the entire East.
The warring sides finally invested more than one million troops, and the Japanese army even invested two naval fleets with aircraft carriers.
What Chinese senior officials did not expect was that the 700,000 elite army and air force forces who had almost devoted all their efforts to the whole country were still defeated.
In March, although the 700,000 army showed their courage as elites, they created the largest number of Japanese troops that China annihilated since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The Japanese invaders suffered more than 40,000 casualties, but their own losses were more than one-third.
Almost a big-gambling battle still failed. The only highlight may be that it completely crushed the arrogant words of the top Japanese invaders to "sweep the whole of China in three months".
The ending of the defeat was that the four high-profile national defense lines in Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang had lost their original role.
Even now, because Songjiang successfully blocked the 10th Japanese army, he relieved the retreating army, which was not considered a defeat, but defeat was a defeat, and his morale was no longer as good as before. The Shisuke Line was already in danger under the fierce attack of a unit of the 10th Army led by Yanagawa Heisuke, and it was captured in the past few days.
Jiashan Jiaxing here is even worse. The army retreating from this direction was ordered to run faster than rabbits. Except for the three infantry divisions on the Jiashan defense line, Jiaxing had no personal hair.
In other words, the two national defense lines built at a cost of tens of millions of silver were the only 20,000 people. Otherwise, Wu, Guo and Gu would not have cursed their mother at the command center after hearing this news.
No matter how much you scold, no matter how much you should fight with the Japanese, there is no missing war.
It was not for those colleagues who were running fast, but for themselves. The Japanese were like a jackal who was temporarily retreating with a stick. Once they noticed the weakness of the Chinese army on the defense line, they would immediately jump out and reveal their white and sharp fangs and pounce on them to tear their opponents to pieces.
Therefore, the army on the defense line cannot retreat for the time being, but the seriously injured with slow maneuvering speed must be transported away first, and must be at least thirty kilometers ahead of the army.
On the way to support Songjiang, the 67th Army had seen countless desperate and helpless eyes of serious wounded soldiers abandoned by the army and waited for death on the roadside. It was really heartbreaking and panicking.
In front of the entire army, General Wu made his first oath to never abandon a wounded soldier unless the entire army was full of me.
This is also one of the important reasons why more than 30,000 people in the 67th Army have been facing major battles and decisive battles, but they can still maintain sufficient combat effectiveness to this day.
Their commander did not break his promise. From Songjiang to the present, even if he had a breath, all the seriously injured soldiers were brought with him.
Not abandoning comrades and comrades in the army also means that you will not be abandoned. This is a truth that everyone understands.
Lu Sanjiang's cavalry platoon had a huge reconnaissance range, and in fact he had to escort these troops transporting wounded. After Yao Mei'er's time, Tang Dao would never tolerate the occurrence of wounded troops being ambushed by the Japanese army again.
The cavalry platoon did not return until not long ago, and there was no trace of Japanese large-scale troops. However, the Japanese reconnaissance cavalry were seen from afar. However, when both sides had a tacit understanding, they immediately turned their heads and left, and there was no battle because of this.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! This is the most normal phenomenon. If the Japanese army not only has no operations, there will be no reconnaissance vanguards, then there will be problems.
The Chinese army is guarding against the Japanese, and the 18th Division, which is three or four kilometers away from the defense line, is also guarding against the Chinese.
The continuous night attacks have already exhausted the Japanese. What if the Chinese do the opposite and do this for them during the day?
Sadao Ushima would never make such a low-level mistake.
However, this is also certain that the Japanese army will not launch an attack at least today, and the independent battalion will at least have time to do its own thing.
For example, each company completes their running-in at its own station.
In six hours, at least five companies have submitted their staffing list, and only three companies have not yet been completely settled.
"Sir, sir, Company Commander Qian has summoned his infantry company to start a lecture. I heard that I would do something to choose the squad leader, squad deputy and precise archer!" Xia Dayu ran into the battalion headquarters panting and knew about Tang Daotong, who was reviewing the list of organization that had been sent.
"Oh? Qian Dazhu finally came up with his solution. Let's go and take me to see." Tang Dao smiled slightly and stood up.
Qian Dazhu not only did not come up with the list at this time, but he heard that during the five or six hours, he was just busy communicating with soldiers who were not familiar with him, and did not take practical actions to appoint any squad leader of the infantry squad.
His three infantry platoon leaders also urged them several times. The youngest infantry company commander of the independent battalion seemed to have been hesitating and not making up his mind.
But Tang Dao did not comment on this before, so no one dared to say publicly that he could not do it. But in private, not talking about other people, Guo Shouzhi and Zhuang Shisan were a little confused, not knowing if this person could do it.
Until now, Tang Dao smiled. He knew that it was not Qian Dazhu who had no idea, but that he had been waiting for the cavalry to return and determine the safety of the peripheral environment. The entire independent battalion did not need the entire army to enter the battle before he began to implement his appointment plan.
With the performance of patience alone, Qian Dazhu is worthy of Tang Dao's introduction to the position of infantry company commander.
And his plan did not play any innovative.
Assessment! No matter whether veterans or new recruits, those who are capable will go!
