The War of Resistance Begins with the Regiment Leader Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Wasn't the navy's warship sunk by our army's fighter planes? (First update!)

“This wave attack is really good.” When the third wave of attack completely broke through the Japanese defense line and entered Yangon City, Long Wenwen looked excited.

At first he had given up hope, but he didn't expect it to succeed.

Although they may have to abandon Yangon later, at least they have occupied Yangon for now.

"I didn't expect that the tactics that the leader explained casually would be so powerful." Zhao Yi also didn't expect that the effect of this tactic would be so good.

“This is somewhat similar to, or a replica of, the Little Japs' pig-attack tactics.” Long Wenwen thought for a while, thinking about the tactics he had seen over the years, and felt that only the Little Japs' pig-break tactics were very similar to this.

Who knows, Zhao Yi retorted directly.

 “No, this is completely different from the little devil's pig attack tactic.”

 “Oh? What's different?” Long Wenwen asked curiously.

“First of all, the firepower of the little devils is not as good as ours.”

“Sir, do you think our first wave of attacking soldiers are all submachine guns?”

“The second wave of attackers were all armed with machine guns.”

“And with the support of mortars, can the little devil have such firepower?”

“Even our third wave of attacks has several times more firepower than the little devils.”

“So the pig surprise tactic cannot be compared with this.” Zhao Yi explained confidently.

Hearing this, Long Wenwen looked surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Yi was a master tactician.

“Your ancestor was Zhao Kuo, right? Are you trying to play arm's length with me?” Long Wenwen joked.

"No, this is what I concluded based on the situation on the battlefield just now." Zhao Yi shook his head quickly, and then said with a sad face.

“The casualties were too great, and many key members of the volunteer team were killed.”

Who knows, Long Wenwen patted his shoulder and comforted him.

“But the influence it brings is great, which means that we are strong enough to compete with the little devils, and more natives will come to join us.”

 Long Wenwen looked deeper than Zhao Yi.

  If the Japanese army loses Rangoon, the impact will be huge.

 It means that the Japanese army is no longer able to control the situation in Myanmar unless they are willing to continue to increase their troops.

If there is no increase in troops, it means that the Japanese army is not far from completely losing Burma.

"And the wave attack you mentioned can actually dig deeper." Long Wenwen said with a deep look.

 “What do you mean?” Zhao Yi asked puzzledly.

"Currently, the tactics we are using are still a bit rough. They can be more detailed. But we will talk about these later. For now, we are searching Yangon as quickly as possible and taking away everything that can be taken away. Those that cannot be taken away will be burned. ” Long Wenwen shook his head, he had no idea now, after all, this was the first time he used this tactic.

 Only when it has been used a lot can it be summarized and optimized.

 Another point is that he always felt that Cun Yunsheng said this tactic deliberately.

 Otherwise, why don't you see it being used by the Sichuan Army?

But what about these indigenous resistance?

 Deliberately consuming their strength?

For a while, Long Wenwen didn't know what Cun Yunsheng's plan was.

“Sir, where are the gold and silver jewelry in the city?” Zhao Yi glanced around and asked in a low voice.

“Send it to Lashio. The Japs will definitely chase us around like crazy. It's inconvenient to carry these things.” Long Wenwen patted his shoulder meaningfully and said.

"When this matter is over, you will be the captain of the volunteer team, and you will also be responsible for external publicity."

 “Don't be too busy refusing, this is what Tuanzuo means.”

Seeing that Zhao Yi wanted to refuse, Long Wenwen shook his head.

"People, you must have self-awareness and a trace of conscience." After Long Wenwen finished speaking, he led his men towards the city of Yangon.

Zhao Yi, who was left behind, looked at Long Wenwen who was going away and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He probably guessed that the ending of the Tonggu man should not be good.

At the same time, I am very glad that I have always been obedient.

“It's really hard to take Yangon City. I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it.” Cun Yunsheng looked at the telegram in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

At first I thought it would be a futile effort, but it was not a futile effort at all. At the very least, we got back fifty fighter planes and sank a battleship.

 This is considered a great achievement.

 Unexpectedly, he finally captured the city of Yangon, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

 Meng Fangliao on the side couldn't help but feel surprised.

This is dead, it doesn't look very reliable, and it's full of lies.

 I didn't expect that my ability was quite good.

 Relying on a ragtag group of people, they actually captured Sunshine City.

Although there are only more than a thousand people in the city, the Japanese army is not comparable to a ragtag group of people.

“Tuanzuo, is this wave attack really so powerful?” Meng Fangliao asked in confusion.

"Naturally, the ones they used were actually too rough, but considering the military quality of these natives, it's not bad to be able to use them like this. The main reason is that the little devils were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, otherwise they wouldn't have been beaten so quickly. It collapsed." Cun Yunsheng nodded. The tactics he explained have been tested in countless actual battles.

“Then why don't we use this tactic?” Meng Fangliao asked curiously.

“Why not use it? That's because there is a better tactic than this one.” Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

“The wave attack can actually be optimized.”

"Can it still be optimized? Do you mean to promote it in our Sichuan Army?" Meng Fan immediately understood what Cun Yunsheng meant and asked in surprise.

"Of course, we should keep the good things for our use. What we teach are rough versions. Who among the masters is not on guard?" Cun Yunsheng sneered.

“The wave attack is actually an evolved and detailed version of the ladder attack.”

 Seeing Meng Fannie take out a small notebook and record in detail what he wanted to say, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but nodded.

"How detailed is it? It can be a three-person combat team forming a small wave."

“Then they will move from group to squad, then to platoon and company to form the same big wave.”

“Just like a wave, it launches a continuous offensive across the board.”

“Have you ever seen the lake surface when it's windy? Are the waves beating towards the shore layer by layer?”

 “Doesn't it look very impressive? This is a detailed version of the wave attack.”

 After finishing speaking, Cun Yunsheng sighed that this tactic was later used to its extreme.

“Then why don't you promote it?” Meng Fangliao asked in confusion.

“Because this tactic places high demands on the soldiers' will and organizational structure.”

“You can't just pass on the tactics.” Cun Yunsheng said helplessly.

“Look at our soldiers. To put it bluntly, the overall literacy rate is horribly low. The backbones are all poached from various armies.”

“That is to say, we have been winning now. Once there is a failure, it will fall apart.”

“As I said before, this tactic requires strong demands on the will of the veterans and the organizational structure.”

“What we lack most now is backbones. There are too few backbones, especially company and platoon-level officers. This is the key to an army.”

“I have no choice but to choose a general among short men.”

After hearing this, Meng Fangli remained silent and thought about it for a while, and found that this was really the truth.

From the beginning, he was a little puzzled by Cun Yunsheng's promotion of Li Wula, Bu La, Yao Ma and others.

Now think about it, there were only a few officers he could use at that time.

 One is Xue Tian who I brought with me, and he is quite qualified to be a guard company commander.

 It is impossible to lead troops to fight.

Li Wula was originally a second lieutenant. He fought many defeats and killed many people.

 Now he has become a major battalion commander, commanding a troop of nearly a thousand people, which is very difficult.      Often cares about the head rather than the body, unless the troops encountered are not very strong.

 It is simply impossible to resist a large group of Japanese troops head-on.

Perhaps the Japanese army's firepower is not as good as that of the Sichuan Army, but its tactical literacy is definitely higher than theirs.

 As for whether it is numb or not spicy, the same goes for Snake Butt and others.

 Their true level is probably that of a company commander, commanding more than a hundred people is the limit.

 Sir Ayi, not to mention, a major who has never fought in a war, is he suddenly asked to lead troops?

That doesn't mean that more people will be killed?

“Then why did you promote them to battalion commanders?” Meng Fangliao asked in confusion.

“You don't know?” Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng Fan and sighed.

“I deceived you so much at the beginning that you were all willing to follow me across the river to kill the Japanese. You didn't even have many weapons, but you were willing to follow me. You can't just kill the donkey.”

"But the battalion commander has come to an end. If he wants to be promoted again, he has to go to the military academy and reinvent himself."

“There is no such condition at the moment, so we can only do this for now.”

Hearing this, Meng Fan nodded and finally understood why Cun Yunsheng was so concerned about those officers.

“That's why you asked the military commander to dig out those people at all costs?”

“Yes, these people all have rich practical experience, and it is very suitable for them to serve as regimental-level officers.”

"However, we won't promote them immediately yet. We still need to let them familiarize themselves with the specific situation of our Sichuan Army." Cun Yunsheng showed a tired look on his face.

 As the Sichuan Legion continues to expand, some factions are gradually revealed.

For example, the sect organized by Zenda, or the sect that was later incorporated.

 The faction recruited by the military commander was still relatively weak for the time being.

 So reorganization is a meticulous job that requires consideration of all aspects.

The New First Army far away in Imphal also made a lot of jokes during its reorganization.

 Three candidates, Qiu Qingquan among them, had already recruited a staff, but it turned out that he was not the commander of the New First Army.

In order to take care of Sun Liren's mood, he promoted him to deputy army commander.

Logically speaking, since he is not a direct descendant, he is not qualified.

 But he behaved well, and his relationship with Stilwell was not bad.

 So, reorganization cannot be done in one sentence, but requires many things to be considered.

 At the same time, the Japanese base camp received a telegram from Zhengzo by the river, and everyone was stunned.

Yangon is lost!

This is not over yet, a cruiser sent by the Third Fleet to support was sunk.

More importantly, it was an Army Red Deer fighter plane that sank the battleship.

 This is embarrassing.

 The conflict between the army and the navy is well known.

 The two sides have always been at odds with each other.

The navy insulted them like crazy, and the army was a bunch of losers who couldn't even defend a Yangon.

And it was captured by a group of natives, which was a disgrace to the Imperial Japanese Army.

 Originally, this matter was indeed the Army's fault.

 They knew they were wrong and did not refute the navy's insults and ridicules.

The navy looked at it and thought, oh, do you know it's wrong?

Then just touch your face and open it up.

As the insults escalated, Army Deputy Chief Hyōtaro Kimura also became angry.

 A direct sentence.

Your navy's warships are not that good either. They can't even withstand the bombs of their army bombers.

This time, the conflict between the two sides was completely detonated, and they directly insulted each other.

 Some people even directly clamored for a duel.

 Hideki Tojo finally stopped him.

"Baga, you idiots are still fighting among themselves." Hideki Tojo scolded, looking like he hated iron.

As a result, Navy Chief Nagano Osamu didn't even bother with Tojo Hideki. He slammed the door and left. He also said harshly that the Navy would not dispatch any warships to Yangon for rescue.

This time it was embarrassing. Without the help of the navy, even if they wanted to send reinforcements, they would not be able to send them to Yangon.

More importantly, they didn't know where to draw troops to support them.

 Because there are emergencies everywhere and reinforcements are needed.

The newly formed divisions are still intensifying their training, but they are all new recruits who have never been on the battlefield and cannot play any role at all.

“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, how about deploying the Fourth Division?” Army Deputy Secretary Kimura Hyōtaro suggested.

Hearing that it was the Fourth Division, Hide Tojo's head was filled with excitement.

There is no end to the weird things about this army.

　　How many generals went to rectify the situation, but in the end they all asked to be transferred.

“Can this group of traders from Osaka do it?” Tojo Hideki asked helplessly, covering his head.

Who knows, Army Deputy Chief Hyōtaro Kimura said calmly.

“Letting them go to war probably won't work, but letting them suppress this group of natives should be fine.”

“But now the navy has made it clear that it is unwilling to dispatch warships to **** them. It is simply unrealistic to transport them to Yangon.” Tojo Hideki sighed.

 The contradiction between the two parties is simply irreconcilable.

 In the final analysis, the island country has too few resources. If it wants to rise, it must prioritize the development of its navy, so a small amount of steel will be used to build warships.

 The share allocated to the army has become increasingly scarce.

 Western powers all have their own submachine guns, but the Japanese army does not have them.

 Can't they make it?

 No, it can be made!

 Hundred-style charge has been around for a long time.

 But I don't dare to use it!

 Or maybe I can't afford it!

 The steel alone is not as good as building chariots.

 The tanks built are also the weakest tanks among the great powers.

 It is jokingly called a toy car.

 Can't they make something better?

No!

 They can also be made better, but without steel.

 So I hate the navy, a metal-and-gold-eating beast, with deep hatred.

“Then first transfer them to Bangkok for supplies, and then let them go to Yangon.” Army Deputy Secretary Kimura Hyotarō suggested.

 Hearing this, Tojo Hideki's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.

 “Yo Xi, let's do it like this.”

 “Hai.”

"What do you think of Kawabe Shozo? I'm going to let you take over the Fifteenth Army." Tojo Hideki asked again.
