Chapter 944 The No. 1 General in Jindong!(1/2)
The so-called heroes have similar views!
The brigade commander Cheng was still thinking about how to temporarily divert the firepower of a certain group of pedestals. The young leader of the 769th regiment, whose face was flushed, took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and toast Tang Dao:
"Captain Tang, although we haven't met for a long time, Captain Tang, you are a peer I rarely admire. I will give you a cup first, and I want to ask you for advice."
"Captain Cheng, don't ask any advice. Your night attack on Yangming Castle is a classic. I have recorded it as a classic example in the tactical tutorial of our troop teaching brigade. I also hope that Captain Cheng, just don't charge me the copyright fee!" Tang Dao smiled slightly and took the initiative to drink all the wine in his glass first.
The words made everyone around him laugh. The young commander, who was the protagonist of the toast, had a red face. The Battle of Yangming Fort was the most classic battle since the 769th Regiment led by him crossed the Yellow River. Not only the division headquarters but also the army headquarters praised it, but even the theater command issued a special commendation order for this.
"That's right. This time I fight side by side with your regiment. According to my observation, the reason why your regiment has strong combat power is that in addition to the fierce firepower during attack, I think its attack formation seems to have a lot of mystery, as if it can maximize its firepower advantages, and the casualty rate of attack infantry has also decreased. I wonder if Commander Tang can solve the problem.
Of course, if Captain Tang has any difficulties, just pretend I didn’t say it.”
The young leader probably thought about this question for a long time, but he finally asked it out with the effect of alcohol.
As soon as these words were spoken, the voices during the meal suddenly became much smaller.
Originally, the matter of platoons and formations was the secret of the generals of each commander. He asked this question, it was somewhat inappropriate.
But except for the two division commanders who were unknown, the other commanders all had their eyes brightened. Obviously, this was what they wanted to know.
They have extremely rich combat experience and naturally understand that as long as it is an attack, the casualty rate is far higher than the defense without cover, and there is such a formation in the world that can reduce the casualty rate. Who doesn’t want to know as a general of the army?
The young leader asked this question, but it was about their hearts!
The only one who frowned slightly was the only Brigade Commander Cheng Da. What he was worried about was that Tang Dao refused.
It was not because Tang Dao refused to help, after many years of hard work, the Eighty Army had already formed its own system between offense and defense, and could not get the strengths of other families and improve it himself. What he was worried about was that because Tang Dao's rejection caused a slight gap between the originally intimate relationship between the Four Army Regiment and the 683rd Brigade, which was what he most reluctant to see.
Perhaps even the extremely smart Brigade Commander Cheng Da himself did not realize that from when, Tang Dao had become so important in his heart, so important that it was almost the same as his own army.
If you have to describe it, the word "comrade-in-arms" can be defined.
"Haha! What do I think it is? It turns out to be the 33 tactic!" Tang Dao laughed.
Not to mention that they asked, even if they didn't ask, Tang Dao was still thinking about how to hand over the copyright of the "Three Three Tactics" summarized by the Eighty Army through these eight years of practical research to the creators! It's better now, it saves a lot of effort.
"Three-three tactics?" The division commander flashed behind his glasses, and his fingers gently knocked on the table.
It seems that I have grasped some essence from the name alone, but I cannot describe it in detail.
"The core of the Three Three tactics is like this..." Tang Dao explained while drawing pictures on the table.
When Tang Dao heard that at the critical moment, the division commander, whose tactics became clearer in his mind, simply waved his hand and asked several regiment commanders to move all the wine and food on the table themselves. Tang Dao used fingers as pen, wine as ink, and table as paper to explain in detail to these generals who will surely be brilliant in the future.
In the past, in the time and space, they used the blood of countless martyrs to shape this magical tactic and passed on from generation to generation. In this era, where did they learn this future, the little butterfly Tang Dao helped them condense it into shape in advance.
This kind of cause and effect is amazing!
"It's amazing! It's really wonderful. With this kind of triangle attack, an infantry squad can have the main attack point and cover on both sides, and the attack surface is much wider. At the same time, one ring is connected and another, the attack firepower that an infantry company can exert is at least 30% higher than before.
Especially the distance between individual infantry has increased, reducing casualties from enemy heavy fire attacks. This is really a genius tactical design." Brigade Commander Cheng couldn't help but slapped his legs and exclaimed.
"It is this kind of infantry squad that must have light machine guns as fire support. It is a bit difficult for us!"
"Hehe, Brigade Commander Cheng, there are a lot of seizures from Shentouling and Beiganling this time! I promise you! I don't want a machine gun in the battle of Beiganling. Just light machine guns have seventy or eighty ones! Grenade launchers are only more and less. You have 80 infantry squads in a regiment, plus the original inventory, you can't say that you are not enough to get one for each infantry squad." Tang Dao "sneered" and exposed the man who was used to be hitting the local tyrants.
"I said, brother! Do you think all this is left for me to the 683rd Brigade! The 769th Regiment has to take half of it, but what do you think the two division commanders are here to do? I didn't see that the big trucks of the division's logistics battalion were empty! That's here to carry things." Brigade Commander Cheng shouted and Chow Tianqu.
"Okay, Cheng Houzi, when I sent a telegram to ask the division commander and I to come, I said so sincerely, saying that we can attend the celebration banquet to boost the morale of the entire army. When it comes to materials, I started to dislike us, right? Otherwise, let's go?" The short leader pretended to be angry and pointed at a brigade commander and said to "get angry".
"Political Commissar! If we leave, we will be fooled by him!" the division commander sighed. "You don't know that he is so slippery. He dares to point at the bald man and scold monks here. If we leave, who can still suppress him? The honest people of the division's supplies camp will not be fooled by him. He has agreed to be half of the 20 light machine guns in the division headquarters that he could give you."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The division commander must know him, and he almost fell for Cheng Houzi!" The short leader suddenly realized and patted the table. "Drinking, I am the head of the division department, and I will be the first level of the senior official to crush people to death. You, the brigade commander of Cheng, can only recognize me, you, you, three!"
"Chief! The 921st Division agreed to fight his four-way regiment alone? We can't fight just because this guy talks about a tactic! Oh! This guy definitely seduced me on purpose." Brigade Commander Cheng immediately moved eastward.
Tang Dao looked "contempt". He did have this idea of "seduction" just now, but who is really a good bird when Ximen Qing meets Pan Jinlian?
How could you still speak so righteously?
"Political Commissar, although Cheng Houzi is a little tired, what he said is not unreasonable." The commander who sat on the side without saying a word, said with a thoughtful look on his face, and his eyes swept to the commander Cheng who was still complaining. "I'm going to make the decision, I'll leave 10 more light machine guns for you 683 Brigade. You can find a way to get it together. Just as you are recruiting more than a thousand new recruits here, you will draw some veterans and create a new recruit regiment. Without three battalions, just make two, and do the three-three system of Commander Tang. If possible, the whole division will be promoted!"
"Thank you, Commander. I promise to do a good job in the experimental field of our entire division. It will be worth the silence of Commander Tang!" Commander Cheng Da's brigade was excited and agreed.
This is OK?
Wang Xiaoqiang, who has the same temperament, could only be dumbfounded, using this to indicate that he has unlocked many new positions from his brigade commander.
The only thing that is sad is that his own brigade commander is really too terrible when he has no skills and only has a shameless attitude.
But Tang Dao said it well: Even if you see through the cruel truth about your superiors, you will still make your skin thicker and face it up to the man, which is a real good subordinate!
You have changed from time to time, and I only have a thick-skinned response!
At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang was sublimated!
"No, no, Commander Cheng, the two commanders, don't be too obsessed with the so-called three-three system. I personally feel that the most suitable organizational sequence for your army to fight is not the three-three system, but the three-four system." Tang Dao shook his head.
A new term for "three and four systems" stunned everyone on the table.
"Brig Commander Cheng, can you tell me how many casualties your army suffered and how many people could be replenished in this battle against Japan?" Tang Dao asked.
"In this Shentouling ambush, because of the proper tactics, I lost 98 people to the replenishment regiment, seriously injured 46 people, and slightly injured about 100 people. It basically takes ten days and half a month to return to the team, and the losses are basically between 120 people. In the Battle of Beiganling, the 769th regiment suffered heavy losses, more than 500 sacrifices, and more than 200 serious injuries, with little damage; the two regiments of my 683rd Brigade participated in the war, and the total casualties of the two regiments was 200. However, there will be more than two months for the replenishment of the Lucheng army. The strength of the fourth regiment will be completely restored to its original state!" Brigade Commander Cheng calculated briefly and gave the answer.
This group of new recruits was originally recruited by the Four Army Regiment in the city. Brigade Commander Cheng was embarrassed to take it alone. However, Tang Dao considered that the Four Army Regiment in Licheng had transferred more than 6,000 people, and there would never be few people who could join the army after mobilization. The route that the Four Army Regiment took in the short term was to be more expensive than the more expensive, so all these new recruits were left to the 683rd Brigade.
"So, although your army fought a big battle with the Japanese army this time, there was no loss in the soldiers!" Tang Dao smiled slightly and turned his attention to the two division leaders. "Two leaders, I wonder if I can tell you about the general strength of your division in East Jin?"
"It's all my own people, but you can say it's okay!" The two leaders looked at each other, but their expressions were very calm.
Obviously, as Tang Dao expected, since Brigade Commander Cheng dared to reveal the military secrets of the 921st Division's military strength to him, it was not something he could decide. He must have obtained the approval of his superiors and took the opportunity to test him.
If there were information about the specific forces of the 921st Division, it would probably be somewhat unrelated to Tang Dao!
This is not a fault for these generals being too cautious. They have been betrayed too many times and can no longer trust a person who came from the "enemy camp" so easily.
If they fight side by side once, they will be heartbroken, Tang Dao is afraid that he will hold the wrong thigh!
"Okay, then I will calculate based on the more than 25,000 soldiers of your army. The original veterans were about 12,000. The new soldiers who have joined in the past six months have gone through battles and are not considered new recruits. There are seven or eight thousand. In this way, the number of new recruits has been recruited in the past two months is only 8,000 due to the expansion of the army. The proportion of veterans, new soldiers and new recruits is basically 2 to 1 to 1.
I suggest reorganization based on brigades, leading the new ones with the old, and two veterans of the original 921 division led a new soldier and a new soldier, so that the new soldiers could grow up as quickly as possible, and at the same time, the loss of combat effectiveness was not too great." Tang Dao first made his own suggestions on the equipment ratio of new soldiers.
"This idea is good. Just come to the last month for training, and the problem of weakening combat effectiveness caused by the joining of new recruits can be solved. After a few more practical battles, new recruits will become veterans." The short political commissar nodded first to agree.
"If 25,000 people are all submerged to the five infantry regiments of your division, it will inevitably lead to a huge and bloated organization and is not suitable for mountain combat. The division leaders are very wise and have expanded the independent regiment, the new regiment, the East Advance Brigade and other organizations to accommodate them. But I think it is not enough. It is best to expand to 9 regiments, with each infantry regiment of 2,500 soldiers, totaling 22,500 people; in addition to infantry, artillery must also be developed.
This time, the Japanese artillery, including infantry artillery and 37mm rapid-fire cannons, were captured, and the artillery battalion, which was originally empty, was expanded into an artillery regiment according to the standards of the German-Armed Division.
The artillery regiment was organized with the original mountain artillery and machine artillery, the now captured infantry artillery and 37mm rapid-fire cannons, and was under the jurisdiction of the mountain artillery battalion, anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and direct artillery battalion.
According to the regular arrangement, 336 people from the mountain artillery battalion were equipped with 12 75mm mountain artillery pieces, and 336 people from the anti-aircraft artillery battalion were equipped with Gaoping dual-purpose 20mm anti-aircraft machine guns; the direct artillery battalion was also equipped with infantry cannons and 37mm rapid-fire cannons.
The function of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion is mainly to be responsible for the air defense needs of other artillery battalions and division commands. It can also aim and strike enemy armored targets in ground combat.
The direct-fired artillery battalion should be more flexible and can be completely dismantled into a company and provide artillery fire support to it with various brigades and regiments.
The artillery regiment has about 1,300 people!”
Tang Dao’s mathematics is good, and the plan mentioned is obviously not a temporary idea, but has been brewing for a long time.
However, the senior officers of the 921st Division present did not care about praising why Tang Dao's mathematics was so good, but they were all breathing a sigh of relief that Tang Dao opened his mouth and was an artillery regiment.
Everyone wants the artillery regiment, but not to mention the total of 6 75 mountain cannons in the entire 921st Division, the 20mm high-level dual-purpose machine cannon is even rarer. The entire Eighty Army has only 6 supporters, and they are hidden like treasures by the leaders of the group army. They are not encountered in large-scale offensive battles, let alone Brigade Commander Cheng, the leaders of these two divisions will not be seen.
"My Brother Tang! You are used to being a rich man. You can come with all kinds of equipment. I won't talk about mountain cannons anymore. Sooner or later, I will be able to grab a few guns from the Japanese. But we really don't have the machine cannons you mentioned! Apart from the military pay, there has never been a gun for equipment!" Captain Cheng looked bitter.
But although the face was so bitter, the green light flashed in the eyes of a certain group of people, just like a wolf seeing a big fat sheep.
Obviously, this person has made up the idea of a rich man again.
Although he also knew that there were not many of Tang Dao's four-line regiments, based on his understanding of Tang Dao, Tang Dao never talked about Xia Jiba. If he said that, he would have the confidence to build an artillery regiment.
"Don't look at me, I have nothing to do with this thing now!" Tang Dao spread his hands.
"Not now, then..." The obedient and listened to the sound of the sound of the sound coming from your throat was almost broken.
"In the future, of course there can be!" Tang Dao smiled slightly.
"To be honest, the two leaders and several big brothers, I have two infantry division deposits that the young marshal bought from the Germans back then, including many machine guns. The arms are now in the German concession warehouse in Tianjin. Money is no longer a big problem. The only difficulty is how to transport it from Tianjin!" Tang Dao said the secret calmly in front of these people.
The arms of the two infantry divisions? The group of regiment commanders led by Brigade Commander Cheng Da were stunned! This surprise came so suddenly.
Seeing that these future bosses were fooled by themselves, Tang Dao smiled even brighter.
Although he was beaten by Commander Cheng without any concealment, Tang Dao was miraculously not disgusted at all. Among them, this person has a charming halo for Tang Dao, a little butterfly from the future. However, Tang Dao's own family knows his family affairs, and more so after a few days of getting along with him, the person with true temperament is really incomparable to him.
"The mind of the commander Tang is really admirable!" The commander who was shocked by Tang Dao's words looked solemn. "What is the difficulty for Commander Tang to carry this batch of equipment in the future? The 921st Division will definitely help with all its strength!"
Without politeness and no suspicion, this man said in a very frank manner what he thought and promised at this moment.
This is the wisdom and great wisdom after having enough life experience! He can feel Tang Dao's unreserved trust. Naturally, he also knows that Tang Dao can confess his secrets at the dinner table because he needs help, and the reward is to prepare the machine guns needed to build the artillery regiment and even 75 mountain guns.
He knew very well that the German infantry division organization would have an artillery regiment.
"Captain Tang, I have always been unable to understand why Commander Tang, you came to Taihang Mountain thousands of miles away, and you are very fond of my 921st Division. You don't even mention giving guns out of your own pocket. And you can also ask for less spoils when you are in your hometown. Don't say that the leader of my division was kind to your family when he was in his hometown, or Commander Cheng is full of personal charm, so that you can only see your confidant as soon as you meet!" After the young commander woke up from the shock, he couldn't help but feel excited.
The young leader's words were not just his own opinion. From the eyes of the 921st Division, we can also know that they also think so.
This is also a problem that Tang Dao cannot avoid, because it is unreasonable. No matter which purpose it is, he must finally have a reasonable explanation.
"Hehe, what if I said you right?" Tang Dao was calm.
Tang Dao's words are about nine points true and one point false.
