Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 945

Chapter 945: The No. 1 general in Eastern Jin Dynasty!

The so-called heroes think alike!

Brigadier Cheng Da was still thinking about how to temporarily divert the firepower of a certain regiment that was already turning into a wine vat. Over there, the young commander of the 769th regiment, whose face was already red from drinking, took the initiative to raise his glass and toast to Tang Dao. :

“Captain Tang, although we have not met for a long time, Commander Tang, you are a peer that I rarely admire. I would like to toast you first, and I also want to ask you something.”

"Captain Cheng, don't ask for advice. Your night attack on Yangmingbao was a classic. I recorded it as a classic example in the tactics tutorial of our regiment's teaching brigade. I also hope that Commander Cheng, you won't accept me." Just the royalties!" Tang Dao smiled slightly and took the initiative to finish the glass of wine first.

His words made everyone around him laugh heartily, and the face of the young regiment leader who was the protagonist of the toast was even more rosy. The Battle of Yangmingbao was the most classic battle since the 769 regiment crossed the Yellow River eastward under his leadership. Not only did the division The Ministry and Army Headquarters praised him, and even the theater headquarters issued a commendation order specifically for this.

"That's right, I'm fighting side by side with your regiment this time. According to my observation, the reason why your regiment is so powerful in combat is not only the fierce firepower when attacking, but also its attack formation. It seems to me that there is a lot of mystery in it, and it seems that it can maximize its effectiveness. Its firepower advantage has also reduced the casualty rate of attacking infantry. I wonder if Commander Tang can clarify this.

Of course, if Commander Tang has any difficulties, just pretend that I didn't say anything. "

The young group leader must have been thinking about this question for a long time, and now he finally asked it through the influence of alcohol.

As soon as these words came out, the voices at the table suddenly became much quieter.

Originally, the formation of troops was the responsibility of the generals. It was somewhat inappropriate for him to ask this question.

But except for the two division leaders who were confused, the other regiment commanders' eyes brightened. Obviously, this was what they also wanted to know.

They have extremely rich combat experience and naturally understand that as long as they attack and there is no cover, the casualty rate is far higher than that of defense. There is such a formation in the world that can reduce the casualty rate. As a general of an army, Who doesn't want to know?

The young leader's question touched their hearts!

The only one who frowned slightly was Brigadier Cheng Da. He was worried because he was afraid that Tang Dao would refuse.

It's not that Tang Dao is unwilling to help with all his resources. After so many years of hard work, the Eighty Group Army has already formed its own system in offense and defense. It can't take advantage of others and improve it on its own. What he was worried about was that Tang Dao's rejection would create a slight estrangement in the originally close relationship between the Four Elements Group and the 683rd Brigade. This was what he least wanted to see.

Perhaps even the extremely clever Brigadier Cheng Da himself didn't realize that Tang Dao had been so important to him since then, almost as important as his own army.

If we have to describe it, the word 'comrade' can be used to define it.

“Haha! What did I think it was? It turned out to be a three-three tactic!” Tang Dao laughed.

Not to mention that they asked, even if they didn't ask, Tang Dao was still thinking about how to return the copyright of the "33 Tactics" that the 80th Army had summarized through eight years of actual combat research to the creators! It's better now, it saves a lot of effort.

"Three-three tactics?" The division commander flashed his eyes behind his glasses and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

It seems that the essence of it can be captured just from the name, but it cannot be described in detail.

"The core of Sansan's tactics is this," Tang Dao explained while drawing pictures on the table.

After hearing Tang Dao talk about the critical moment, the division commander, who had become more and more aware of the tactics in his mind, simply waved his hand and asked several regiment leader-level students to personally remove all the food and wine from the table, while Tang Dao used his fingers as a pen. Using wine as ink and the table as paper, I gave these generals who will surely shine brightly in the future a detailed explanation of their best tactics in the future.

In the past time and space, they used the blood of countless martyrs to imbue this magical tactic and pass it down from generation to generation. In this era, the little Butterfly Tang Dao who learned this from them helped them condense it in advance.

This kind of cause and effect is amazing!

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful. With this kind of triangular attack, an infantry squad can have a main attack point and two flanks to cover, and the attack area is also much wider. At the same time, one ring is linked to another, and an infantry company can exert the most attack firepower At least 30% higher than before.

Especially, the distance between individual infantry units is increased, which reduces the casualties caused by enemy heavy fire attacks. This is really a genius tactical design. " Brigadier Cheng couldn't help but patted his legs in admiration.

“This kind of infantry squad must have light machine guns as fire support. It's a bit difficult for us!”

"Hey, Brigadier Cheng, there are quite a lot of seizures in Shentou Ridge and Beigan Ridge this time! I promised you! I don't want any of the rifles or machine guns from the battle of Beigan Ridge. How about the light machine guns? Seventy or eighty! There are only a lot more grenades. If you have 80 infantry squads in a regiment, plus the original inventory, don't say you don't have enough to get one "Tang Dao" for each infantry squad. With a sneer, he mercilessly exposed the habit of this old man who was accustomed to beating rich people and crying about poverty.

"Brother! Do you think all this is left to me, the 683rd Brigade? The 769th Regiment has to take half of it and go. What do you think the two division leaders are here for? Didn't you see that the big trucks in the division headquarters' supply camp are all empty? Well! They are here to move things." Brigadier Cheng Da called out to Chong Tianqu.

"Well, Cheng Houhou, when you sent the telegram to invite the division commander and me, you said it sincerely, saying that our coming to the celebration banquet would boost the morale of the entire army. When it comes to supplies, you start to dislike us, right? "How about we leave?" The short commander pretended to be angry and pointed at a certain brigade commander.

“Political Commissar! If we leave now, we will be fooled by him!” the division commander sighed. "It's not like you don't know his slippery temperament. He dares to point at the bald man and scold the monk when we are here. If we leave, who can control him? If the honest people in the division camp are not fooled by him, If he can give you half of the 20 light machine guns he promised to hand over to the division, he is considered soft-hearted."

“The teacher must know him well, and he almost fell into Cheng Houhou's trap!” The short leader suddenly understood and patted the table. "Drink. I am the head of the division. I can crush people to death at the highest level. You, Brigadier Cheng Da, can only admit it. One for me and three for you!"

"Commander! We agreed that our 921st division would challenge his four-line regiment alone? We can't fight among ourselves just because this guy said a tactic! Ouch! This guy definitely meant to seduce me." Brigadier Cheng Da The disaster immediately moved eastward.

Tang Dao had a look of "contempt" on his face. He did have this "seduce" idea just now, but when Ximen Qing meets Pan Jinlian, who is really a good bird?

How can you still speak so righteously?

"Political Commissar, although Cheng Houhou is a little tired, what he said is not unreasonable." The division commander who was sitting beside him without speaking and had been thinking about it spoke up and glanced at Brigadier Cheng Da, who was still complaining. "I have made the decision. I will give you 10 more light machine guns for the 683rd Brigade. You can find a way to get them together. It just so happens that you have recruited more than a thousand new soldiers here. Transfer some veterans to create a new regiment. You don't need three battalions. Just get two and implement Commander Tang's three-three system. If possible, promote it to the whole division!”

“Thank you, commander. I promise to be a test field for our entire division. It's not in vain that Commander Tang spent so much time talking about it!” Brigadier Cheng Da agreed with excitement on his face.

This is also okay?

Wang Xiaoqiang, who has the same temperament, can only be dumbfounded, using this to express that he has unlocked many new postures from his brigade commander.

The only sad thing is that his unskilled way of asking for equipment shamelessly is really too bad for his own brigade commander.

But what Tang Dao said is good: Even if you see through the cruel truth that your superiors are superior in skills, you still thicken your face and welcome men, and you are a truly good subordinate!

You are ever-changing, but I only respond with one cheeky move!

Wang Xiaoqiang was sublimated at this moment!

"No, no, Brigadier Cheng, the two leaders, in fact, there is no need to be too rigid in the so-called three-three system. I personally feel that the most suitable organizational sequence for your army is not the three-three system, but the three-four system." Tang Dao shook his head. Shake his head.

The new term "three-four systems" made everyone at the table stunned.

“Brigadier Cheng, can you tell me how many casualties your army suffered in this battle against Japan, and how many people can be replaced?” Tang Dao asked.

“Due to the proper application of tactics in the Shentou Ridge ambush battle, my supplementary regiment lost 98 people, 46 people were seriously injured, and about 100 people were slightly injured. It basically took ten and a half days to return to the team, and the loss was basically 120 people;

In the Battle of Beiganling, due to a tough fight with the Japanese invaders, the 769th Regiment suffered heavy losses, with more than 500 killed and more than 200 seriously injured. Minor injuries were not counted; the two regiments of our 683rd Brigade participating in the battle suffered about 200 casualties in total. But with the addition of new recruits from Lucheng, in less than two months, the strength of the four regiments I participated in this time will be completely restored to its original state! " Brigadier Cheng gave the answer after a little calculation.

This batch of new soldiers was originally recruited by the Si Xing Regiment in the city. Originally, Brigadier Cheng was too embarrassed to take it all by himself, but Tang Dao considered that the Si Xing Regiment in Licheng had transferred more than 6,000 people, and there were absolutely no people who could join the army after mobilization. There will be no shortage of them. The route that the Si Xing Regiment will take in the short term is Guijing rather than Guido, so all these recruits will be left to the 683rd Brigade.

"So, although your army fought a big battle with the Japanese army this time, there was actually no loss of soldiers!" Tang Dao smiled slightly and turned his attention to the two division leaders. "Two chiefs, can I tell you the total strength of your division in eastern Shanxi?"

“We are all our own people, you just say it's okay!” The two chiefs looked at each other, but the expressions on their faces were very indifferent.

Obviously, as Tang Dao expected, since Brigadier Cheng dared to reveal the military secrets of the 921st Division to him, it was not something he could decide on his own. He must have obtained the approval of his superiors and took the opportunity to test him. .

If the specific strength information of the 921st Division is obtained over there, I'm afraid it may have something to do with Tang Dao!

This cannot be blamed on these generals being too cautious. They have been betrayed too many times in the past, and they can no longer easily trust a person who came from the "enemy camp".

If they fought side by side once, they would be heartbroken. Tang Dao would be afraid that he was hugging the wrong thigh!

"Okay, then I will calculate it based on the more than 25,000 soldiers in your division. The original veterans are about 12,000. The new soldiers who have joined in the past six months have experienced combat and cannot be considered new recruits. There are 7,000 or 8,000. Calculated in this way, the number of new soldiers recruited due to the expansion of the army in the past two months is only 8,000. The ratio of veterans, cutting-edge soldiers, and new recruits is basically 2:1:1.

I suggest that the brigade be reorganized in units, with the old leading the new. Two veterans of the original 921 Division will lead a cutting-edge soldier and then a new recruit. This will allow the new soldiers to grow up as quickly as possible, and at the same time, there will be no loss of combat effectiveness. Too big. "Tang Dao first made his own suggestions on the proportion of new recruits and veterans. "This is a good idea. As long as we train for a month, the problem of weakening combat effectiveness of each regiment and battalion due to the addition of new recruits can be solved, and after a few actual battles, , the new recruits will become veterans. "The short political commissar nodded in agreement first.

"If all 25,000 people are crammed into the five infantry regiments of your division, it will inevitably lead to a large and bloated establishment, which is not suitable for mountain operations. The division leaders are very wise and have expanded the independent regiment, the new regiment, the eastward brigade, etc. The establishment is to accommodate it, but I think it is not enough. It is best to expand it to 9 regiments, with each infantry regiment having 2,500 soldiers, for a total of 22,500 soldiers;

In addition to infantry, artillery must also be developed.

This time, the Japanese artillery captured included infantry guns and 37mm rapid-fire guns, so the originally empty artillery battalion directly under the division was expanded into an artillery regiment according to the standards of the German Arms Division.

The artillery regiment is organized using the original mountain artillery and machine guns as well as the currently captured infantry artillery and 37mm rapid-fire artillery. It consists of a mountain artillery battalion, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion and a direct-fire artillery battalion.

According to the regular establishment, the mountain artillery battalion has 336 people and is equipped with 12 75mm mountain guns. The anti-aircraft artillery battalion also has 336 people and is equipped with high-level and flat dual-purpose 20mm anti-aircraft cannons. The direct-fire artillery battalion also has the same number of people and is equipped with infantry guns and 37mm rapid-fire cannons.

The function of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion is mainly to be responsible for the air defense needs of the remaining artillery battalions and the division headquarters. It can also conduct direct strikes against enemy armored targets during ground operations.

Direct-fire artillery battalions are more flexible and can be broken down into companies to provide artillery support to each brigade and regiment.

The artillery regiment has approximately 1,300 personnel! "

Tang Dao's mathematics is good, and the plan he mentioned is obviously not a temporary idea, but has been brewing for a long time.

However, the senior officers of the 921 Division present here did not bother to praise why Tang Dao was so good at mathematics. Instead, they all took a breath of cold air when Tang Dao opened his mouth and said that he was an artillery regiment.

Everyone in the artillery regiment wants it, but the entire 921 Division only has six 75mm mountain guns in total, and the 20mm high-level and flat dual-purpose machine guns are even rarer. The entire Eightyth Army has only six in total, and they are hidden like treasures by the army leaders. Now, unless we encounter a large-scale offensive battle, let alone Brigadier Cheng, these two division leaders will not be able to see each other.

"My brother Tang! You are used to being a rich man. All kinds of equipment will come to you at your mouth. Not to mention mountain cannons. Sooner or later, you can **** a few from the devils. But we really don't have the machine guns you mentioned! Except for the mountain cannons over there, The soldiers were paid and equipped but not a single gun was issued!" Brigadier Cheng looked bitter.

　　But despite the bitterness on his face, the eyes looking at a certain group member were shining with green light, like a wolf seeing a big fat sheep.

Obviously, this person has another idea for a rich man.

Although he also knew that not many of Tang Dao's four-line regiments were capable of this thing, but based on his understanding of Tang Dao, Tang Dao had never been bullied by Xia Jiba. As long as he said so, he would have the confidence to do this artillery regiment. Can be built.

"Brother, don't look at me. I don't even have this thing now!" Tang Dao spread his hands.

“Not now, then later.” The voice you hold back from your throat is almost broken by the obedient Brigadier Cheng.

“In the future, of course we can have that!” Tang Dao smiled slightly.

"To be honest with the two chiefs and some big brothers, I have here the purchase orders for the arms of two infantry divisions that the young marshal asked the Germans to buy. There were a lot of machine guns in them. The arms are now in the Germans' warehouse in Jincheng. In the concession warehouse, money is no longer a big problem, the only difficulty is how to transport it from Jincheng!" Tang Dao told this secret calmly in front of these people.

Two infantry divisions of munitions? The group leaders headed by Brigadier Cheng Da were collectively stunned! This surprise came so suddenly.

Tang Dao smiled even brighter when he saw that these future big guys were stunned by him.

Although Brigadier Cheng was unabashedly calling him a rich man again, Tang Dao miraculously did not feel disgusted at all. Perhaps one of them had his own charm for Tang Dao, a little butterfly from the future. Although Tang Dao's family members knew about his own affairs, what's more, after getting along for a few days, this person with a true temperament really hit it off with him.

“Captain Tang's mind is really admirable!” The division commander who was shocked by Tang Dao's words looked solemn. "If Commander Tang encounters any difficulties in transporting this batch of equipment in the future, the 921st Division will definitely help him with all his strength!"

There was no politeness or suspicion. This person spoke with great frankness what he was thinking and what he had promised.

This is the wisdom that comes from having enough life experience, great wisdom! He could feel Tang Dao's unreserved trust. Naturally, he also knew that Tang Dao was able to confess the secret at the wine table because he needed help. The reward was the machine guns and even the 75 mountain cannon needed to build the division's artillery regiment.

He knew very well the organization of the German infantry divisions. Each infantry division would have an artillery regiment.

"Captain Tang, I have never quite understood why, Commander Tang, you did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to come to the Taihang Mountains, and you favored our 921st Division so much. Not only did you pay for the guns and raise them out of your own pocket, but you were also able to distribute the spoils. Don't ask for less. Don't say that the leader of our division was kind to your family when he was in his hometown, or that Brigadier Cheng is so charming that he made you feel like a confidant as soon as you met. That's something I've only seen in books. "The plot!" After the young leader woke up from the shock, he couldn't hold back his excitement.

The words of the young regiment leader are not just his own opinion. From the focused gazes of the people in 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. Regardless of the purpose, he must have a reasonable explanation.

"Hey, what if I said what you said is right?" Tang Dao remained calm.

Tang Dao's words are about nine points true and one point false.

These members of the 921st Division were the most respectable and true Chinese soldiers in time and space.

They and the soldiers under their command proved their determination to resist Japan with practical actions. From Niangziguan in eastern Shanxi to Zhongtiao Mountain and then to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Plain, they fought on the front line against the Japanese invaders until the end of the entire Patriotic War. Several company and regiment-level cadres were killed in the battle, and the backbone of the battalion and company levels were even more unknown. How many.

But obviously, no one believes it!

"Haha, no one believes it to be honest. Then I can only tell the truth." Although Tang Dao was smiling, his expression was extremely formal:

"The reason is very simple, because I know that all of you here are the most determined soldiers to resist Japan. When China is in danger, no matter how much we, Tang Dao and our Four Lines Regiment, have the heart to serve the country with fists and fists, in the face of the powerful Japanese invaders, They are still unable to do anything. If they want to win this war with great disparity in strength, the only way for the whole nation to unite and fight them is.

You are the most trustworthy partners that I consider. Helping you is also helping myself.

Although there are many good ones over there, at higher levels, I'm afraid of being betrayed by them. "

It's a cliche, but what Tang Dao said is the truth!

First, you have strong character and I trust you; second, I cannot defeat the Japanese alone, so I must join forces with everyone.

"Commander Tang, you are a real Chinese and a real Chinese soldier. Although I cannot represent my entire 80th Group Army, I can promise you on behalf of my 921st Division that whenever you come to our 921st Division, you will He is our friend." The teacher's solemn expression changed slightly, and he took the initiative to pick up a glass of wine towards Tang Dao and drank it down in one gulp.

This promise just made is not small. If Tang Dao's identity is ultimately doubted, it will be a considerable political risk. At this point, the short chief is much more rational.

“I'll have a drink too.” But the short leader also took the initiative to pick up the wine and drink it down in one gulp.

That means advancing and retreating together with the division commander, and it also expresses his attitude towards Tang Dao.

"I'll take two." Brigadier Cheng Da was so moved that he no longer cared about fighting a division or a group, and took the initiative to drink two glasses of wine.

“Captain Tang, we respect you!” The remaining captains took a look and took a sip of their wine.

“I'll accompany you all!” Tang Dao made five bowls of them to accompany him.

That kind of pride made everyone in the 921st Division dumbfounded.

Good guy, have you drank more than a pound of wine again?

Just talking about drinking, this Tang Tuan leader is really qualified to be called the number one general in Eastern Jin Dynasty!
