Chapter 683 Important traits of commanders
Zhao Daqiang may not be as brave as his deputy, and he must lead every battle, but there may be one thing that is far from the top of his platoons under his command.
He has been the commander of the First Division for a long time and has developed a meticulous observation ability and is able to make decisions in the shortest time based on the observed changes in the situation.
This is the most basic quality that the super guard possesses, and it is also one of the reasons why Tang Dao finally chose him.
The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. A commander who can make quick decisions and orders in complex battle situations may not be the best one, but it will never be much worse. Compared to the courageousness of not fearing life and death, Tang Dao is more willing to try such a grassroots commander who needs to command more than 100 officers and soldiers.
Every decision of his is related to the lives of hundreds of officers and soldiers.
Zhao Daqiang did not disappoint Tang Dao. It was he who carefully observed and discovered the shell boxes and bullet boxes exposed in the cracks of the rainproof cloth, and immediately adjusted the combat plan according to the location of the Japanese army's baggage, let the area where the baggage team was located, and focused on the Japanese infantry.
Now, after a brief discussion with his subordinates, he didn't talk anymore and kept patrolling the mountain road area where the carts were stuck.
His eyes gradually stopped on a Japanese soldier wearing a steel helmet behind a large cart.
Although the Japanese army had no command knife, no white gloves, and no long military boots, the Japanese army hiding behind the car, who was occasionally exposed to the telescope's vision, had a pistol box hanging obliquely, which was the proof of identity.
The power of the short gun on the field battlefield is almost nothing, it is basically a decoration, but it is definitely a symbol of identity.
Looking at the armies around the world, the independent battalion is probably the only one, equip artillery and machine gun soldiers with pistols, but the colonel battalion commander always brings a long spear to the battlefield. The company commanders and platoon leaders under his command also follow suit, either long spears, submachine guns, or crumbling guns.
In fact, Tang Dao, who was born in a special forces soldier, had different tactical concepts. In the special forces brigade he belonged to, everyone from the brigade leader to the ordinary special forces soldier, was a soldier.
In the Japanese army, except for officers above the second lieutenant, they can be equipped with pistols, and senior non-commissioned officers and some special arms can also be worn.
But this "Captain Cao" was obviously a bit special. Zhao Daqiang looked at the direction of the Japanese army through the eyes of most of the remaining Japanese soldiers. It can basically be judged that this Japanese army should be the commander of the remaining Japanese army, at least a second lieutenant.
If this is really the case, this person is still a difficult opponent.
Instead of insisting on the so-called honor of the Imperial Japanese Army on the "hot" slope, after evacuating, they did not hide in the stone mountain reserved for them to hide. Instead, they risked to pieces and hid behind the large baggage cart.
Obviously, it should be because of the intention of the opponent to seize this batch of supplies, and he wanted to use this as a talisman to save his life.
"Have you been in charge of intercepting the three platoons of the Japanese army detours?" Zhao Daqiang put down the telescope in his hand and asked the deputy company commander Zhou Shubin in a deep voice.
"Two minutes ago, they heard the news that all the staff were in place." Zhou Shubin nodded, but a trace of worry appeared on his face. "Company Commander, if the Japanese continue to wait like this, if they recover, we may pay a greater price!"
It is normal for Zhou Shubin to have this worry. The so-called "hit hitting a dog in the water" means that he will continue to beat his opponent when he is dizzy when he is hit by a heavy punch. Once he is given time to breathe, he may have recovered a few more lines of combat effectiveness and will pay a greater price.
Previously, he told the second platoon leader, "Master Jiang", that he hoped to use mortars to solve the opponent. The Japanese army's large baggage trucks could block guns and bullets, but they had no defense against shells. It only took more than a dozen shells to solve this part of the Japanese army.
But now Zhao Daqiang's meaning is very obvious. He wants both people and things, which is a bit too difficult.
"Second, look at the current performance of the Japanese, they obviously think so." Zhao Daqiang shook his head calmly. "And this is what I want. If this is not the case, they might have jumped into the deep ditch without hesitation. If there are a few survivors, even if we kill most of the Japanese and seized supplies, we will not complete the task assigned to us by the superiors."
As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of blush appeared on Zhou Shubin's fair face.
He understood what Zhao Daqiang meant. If the Japanese didn't leave some way out for the Japanese, the Japanese would really make a life. When a rabbit met an eagle, he could still play the rabbit kicking the eagle. What's the point of jumping into a deep ditch of more than ten meters? What if he didn't break his legs and run a few times?
The real tactical goal of this ambush is to wipe out these Japanese troops.
"However, even you, the deputy, are right. The Japanese always act as turtles with their heads. It's not a big deal for us to wait like this. There is a saying that night is long and dreams are too long. They still have to let them stretch their heads out and let us chop them up." Zhao Daqiang followed Liu Yuqing for a long time, and he still knows a little about the way to rule the emperor.
Although he refuted his views of the brave and powerful deputy, he also gave him enough face.
"Company Commander, what do you mean?" The second platoon leader, "Master Jiang", once again burst into anxiety. That means, boss, just say it! Don't keep it a secret.
"I mean, we have enough time for them. After observing the battlefield situation, we are breathing evenly. It is time for the Japanese hiding behind the baggage truck to know that they were wrong. We don't care so much about the so-called baggage. They think precious cannon bullets are just a big deal in our eyes." Zhao Daqiang's mouth sneered. "They want to jump into the ditch now. Even if they are lucky and don't break their legs, they can't run away."
The three platoon leaders finally realized that the three infantry squads of the third platoon had not yet ended their battle, and they were running wildly under the order of Zhao Daqiang. It turned out that they could not only block the mountain road, but also block the deep ditch on the side.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Leaving the baggage truck to give the Japanese army a breath of breath, this trick was a trap from the beginning, a trap that prevented the Japanese army from jumping over the wall.
Zhao Daqiang then ordered: "Firepower support platoon, four-fire gun rapid fire preparations, and the Japanese who shot me the sixteenth cart. Remember, don't hit me too accurately. It's about ten meters away from him, or hit it into the deep ditch next to him. I'll be killed by him in one go, and I'm afraid there will be no smart Japanese anymore."
"Okay, company commander, please take a look!" The fire support platoon leader nodded confidently.
With his order, the two fire platoons that had moved the mortars here were nervously debugging the muzzles. The observer even gestured for a long time to ensure that the shells would not blow the target cart and the Japanese behind them into slag.
It is very simple to not hit the target, but it is difficult to scare people around the target without killing him.
This is like a man and a woman. It is as difficult as a man who wants to swear and swears that he will only rub off and never enter.
"Boom Boom Boom" four consecutive shells exploded seven or eight meters away from Captain Ozawa Riso.
Two fell into a deep ditch five meters wide, and the muffled explosion made people shine. One fell into a stone mountain eight or nine meters away from the cart. A burst of smoke rose up and a painful howl came. It was the Japanese infantry hiding inside that were in trouble.
Stone Mountain can resist bullets, but for such mortar shells that fell from the sky and had almost no dead corners to attack, they were simply a powerful woman who could not resist and could only enjoy it passively.
What really scared the Japanese captain was a shell that exploded directly on the mountain road eight meters away.
In fact, Riso Ozawa, who had been lying on the ground to avoid the first sound of the cannon, was not hit by the air waves and shrapnel. It didn't matter if the cart that provided him with hidden supplies was shaking repeatedly by the air waves.
As the infantry squadron leader who was responsible for protecting the baggage team along the way, he knew very well what was in the baggage team's big cart. This car was a baggage truck he specially chose to contain beef and canned fish.
It’s not that there are canned beef to eat, but that the iron canned food can resist bullets and there is no need to worry about the problem of ammunition being exploded.
Rimo Ozawa is so smart!
But the baggage truck 30 meters away from him was not good! It was full of infantry artillery shells, with at least one hundred rounds.
Once that thing explodes, there will be no living people in this area.
"Damn it, I'm scared. Wu Dachui, tell your bastards, and then fire and stay away from the square cart."
Not to mention Captain Ozawa Riso, who was so scared that his hair was standing on his back by several bombardments, even if he was brave enough to be as brave as Zhou Shubin, his face turned pale at this moment.
Isn’t the big truck that was shaken by the air waves a few times the shell transport truck that Zhao Daqiang had keenly observed before?
The job of getting millet from the fire is really too dangerous!
Compared to the old and pale-faced commanders, the two artillery squads did not take it seriously. They did not score three points, so they dared to go to Liangshan.
Several old gunners were fed with hundreds of shells in Songjiang City, but the range was more than 300 meters. Not to mention where they pointed, it would be fine to ensure that the accuracy was within 5 meters.
