Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

"Yes~ Commander~

I will definitely take the lead and study hard with the instructors."

Xun Bai looked at Yuan Fusheng with an unfriendly expression.

Then nodded.

“You do your best when you say you’re going to do it.

Otherwise, you know~"

Then he gave Yuan Fusheng some instructions.

"Although the planes at Taiyuan Airport are being held up by other troops and cannot come over for the time being.

But Xinxiang Airport also has a flying squadron.

Remember the instructor’s previous tactical drills and pay attention to air defense!

If the losses are too great, Commander Yang will skin you alive."

"Yes, Commander!

I'll keep an eye on the air defense company~"

Yuan Fusheng spoke to Xun Bai in a serious tone.

"You guys too, each of your regiments has an anti-aircraft company, with a total of thirty-six anti-aircraft machine guns.

They can all be equipped with an air defense regiment.

The plane from Xinxiang Airport is coming.

Just follow the tactics the instructor taught you before, and don't let me down."

"Yes~ Commander."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Xun Bai looked at everyone, and after some beating, he nodded in satisfaction.

The following regiments are the first batch to replace their standard weapons and equipment compared to the previous Japanese-equipped regiments.

The firepower of the entire regiment is much higher.

At the same time, a phenomenon emerged, that is, the troops in these regiments began to look down on the Japanese army.

I thought the Japanese army was just so-so, but now that I have replaced them with more powerful equipment, I suddenly feel that I can beat the shit out of the Japanese army one by one.

The last time Zeng Jiwen came back, when he went to inspect the base below, he also checked the situation of the troops.

At that time, Zeng Jiwen discovered the situation of the troops that had changed their uniforms.

When Zeng Jiwen saw this situation, his face looked a little unhappy.

Was the previous defeat of the Japanese army in North China due to equipment?

The terrain in southeastern Shanxi is dangerous, and it is difficult for the Japanese army's large heavy artillery to enter at all.

In the original time and space, at Changshengkou and Huangyadi, the Eighth Route Army, despite the huge gap in equipment between them and the Japanese battalion, was able to rely on the dangerous terrain and achieve a record that shocked all parties.

Zeng Jiwen and others had planned everything in advance in the subsequent battles with the Japanese army. They first attacked the key nodes of the Japanese army, including but not limited to commanders, sergeants, shooters, and artillerymen, which threw the Japanese army into chaos, and then completely wiped out the Japanese army.

Later, the Japanese army launched two large-scale sweeps in North China, relying on a series of tactics such as tunnels and close-combat weapons, which caused heavy losses to the Japanese army.

The Japanese army's initial tactical command was rigid and inflexible, which gave Zeng Jiwen and others the opportunity to find the Japanese army's weaknesses.

Then, relying on the dangerous terrain of Jin, they wiped out the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

But can it still be like this later?

You must know that in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain two years later in the original time and space, the defense of the defenders on the entire Zhongtiao Mountain line was relaxed and loopholes appeared because the commander of the guard in the south was transferred away.

But in the end, judging from the actual battlefield results of the Japanese army, they completely replicated an example similar to Delin's blitzkrieg on Poland.

At first, they pretended to cross the Yellow River to attack Shaanxi, but at night they secretly transferred their troops to the Zhongtiao Mountain front.

At the same time, a large number of intelligence agents were sent out, disguised as peddlers, to find out almost all the military command points of the National Army at all levels in Zhongtiao Mountain.

In this way, the deployment of Chinese troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, the location of command organizations at all levels, ammunition depots, field hospitals, communication centers, and guard defenses were all under the control of the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army made a feint and turned their guns to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, these intelligence agents were dispatched at the same time to raid and decapitate the Kuomintang troops in Zhongtiao Mountain.

The most typical example was the dispatch of airborne troops, which landed in Macun, south of Sijiao, Xia County, and were responsible for the defense of the western line of Zhongtiao Mountain by the command of Zeng Wanzhong of the 5th Army.

It directly led to the collapse of the 5th Army.

Except for the airborne troops, all of these tactics were used by Zeng Jiwen and others against the Japanese troops in North China.

After suffering heavy losses time and time again, the Japanese must have been studying tactics against Zeng Jiwen's 389th Division.

But they have not yet come up with an effective tactic against the 389th Division.

However, Zeng Jiwen believed that some officers within the Japanese army in North China must have been able to see something from their previous battles with them.

Zeng Jiwen didn't want his troops to suffer a great loss in the future when the Japanese used this method on his troops.

Therefore, the combat will and tactical training of the troops below are extremely important.

After all, with the support from the north, they are now able to be self-sufficient in basic food.

All that remains is to wait for the recovery of North China and the resumption of production.

Equipment can certainly determine the direction of a war.

But there is a passage that says it very well.

[The plane will eventually be shot down, and the battleship will eventually be sunk. It will be a truly cruel war until the end.

All sophisticated weapons will eventually be exhausted. The essence of war is still the confrontation between people, the war between people!

When Zeng Jiwen saw this passage, he agreed with it deeply.

Just like everyone looked down on the useless division they always promoted in Xiaorizi, but in the second Changsha battle in the original time and space, it severely damaged the Tenth Army, which was known as the Taishan Army.

When attacking the Bataan Fortress in the Pacific, the US suffered 600 casualties, annihilated more than 5000 US and Filipino troops, and captured more than 6 US and Filipino coalition troops.

It may be because the people of this division were born in the city with a strong commercial atmosphere. In this division, we rarely see the fanatical long live charge like other armies.

Their fighting style is more like that of European and American armies, emphasizing tactical coordination. When fighting, they pay more attention to fire suppression and command rationally.

Just like the Bataan battlefield where this division was located, the Japanese army, which had absolute superiority, was unable to capture the fortress guarded by the US military.

But after the 4th Division joined the battlefield, it relied on fire reconnaissance and preparation, and the most flexible tactics to find the enemy's weaknesses, and wiped out the US troops on the Bataan Peninsula in one battle.

Whether it is the tactical coordination in fighting the Japanese army or the tenacious and firm will, these are what the troops below urgently need to improve.

Therefore, this time, Zeng Jiwen specially selected the troops in the western Hebei area that had already been re-equipped to form a westward column.

A force that can come and fight when called upon must have a firm will and perfect tactical coordination.

And this requires going through the trials of blood and fire.
