Base System of Bashu Heroes

Liu Tianchu had the same view as Yu Jishi's point of view that the troops should not be numerous but fine. However, there were many reasons for the failure of the attack. Yu Jishi saw that he was silent and lowered his head in thought, so he smiled and asked: "What about the current situation? Brother Tianchu

What’s your advice?”

Liu Tianchu, who came back to his senses, thought for a while and replied: "The failure of the Wuhan battle was not only due to the lack of coordination among the various ministries, but also for many reasons. One of them: premature destruction of communication lines, difficult transportation, insufficient transportation of fortification construction materials, and the inability to consolidate the position

, most of the positions could not be completed in advance. Secondly: poor transportation, lack of military station facilities, the supply of food and ammunition, and the subsequent delivery of wounded soldiers were impossible. Soldiers faced the battle on an empty stomach, and the wounded soldiers groaned and left, and the fighting spirit was suddenly depressed.

Third: The military discipline is poor. The troops fire rifles and search for supplies along the way. The unscrupulous ones are raped and looted. Wherever the army goes, villages and communities are in ruins, desolate and almost without human traces. Since the people have lost their sympathy, the army is invincible and resentful.

It is impossible to kill the enemy bravely. Fourth: Poor communication. Due to the lack of communication equipment in each department, the vertical and horizontal communication between the armies, divisions, infantry and artillery is not smooth, and the liaison personnel are also not smooth.

There are very few dispatches. They work independently and do not conspire with each other, so they cannot coordinate with each other in a timely manner and achieve synergy. Fifth: Negligence in vigilance. The Military Commission has strictly ordered the commanders and above of the defense ministries to conduct night patrols. Although they have been warned by edicts,

Ministers and officials have also personally inspected several times. There are still some officials at all levels who do not perform well, allowing the enemy to occupy the enemy easily. They are not aware of it beforehand and cannot expel it afterwards. Sixth: There is a lack of self-confidence among senior generals, and most middle and lower-level cadres

We are unable to control our subordinates. This time in Madang, Peng Ze spent several days chatting with generals above the division commander. Every time he made excuses, there were too many recruits, the defense area was too wide, or there were insufficient weapons. The weak combat effectiveness shook his belief in victory and affected his combat morale."

Regarding Liu Tianchu's analysis, Yu Jishi also nodded frequently. As the saying goes, heroes have similar opinions, and the two suddenly felt like they had met each other late. As the two continued chatting, Ronghua, who had returned from Xuzhou, came to report: "Sulu War Zone Military Supplies

The department has shipped the winter shipment to Huangchuan and Xinyang. Xizai asked you to sign for it."

It was only a matter of time before the Maruyama brigade was wiped out. Liu Tianchu didn't want to waste time here anymore. After saying goodbye to Yu Jishi, he led the duli brigade and Langyi Division to Huangchuan. The purpose of the Huangchuan battle was very clear, to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward to Xinyang.

Gain preparation time for Hu Zong's southern and Zhang Zizhong troops in the Fifth Theater who came from Shaanxi to support them.

The army has completed its winter change of uniforms. Officers wear officer uniforms when resting and combat uniforms when fighting. They have completely bid farewell to the era of gray, straw sandals and bamboo hats. The Sichuan Army soldiers wearing grass-green American combat uniforms are refreshing in terms of morale and military appearance.

Not only is it comfortable to wear, it also doesn't look that old-fashioned compared to the gray military uniforms of the past.

At this time, Bai Chongxi was the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone. Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Army and Liu Tianchu's 22nd Army were gathered in Xinyang. Hu Zong's Southern 34th Army was on its way to Xinyang from Shaanxi. As for the Japanese Army, the 3rd Army was gathered in Xinyang.

There are three elite divisions: the Fifth Division, the Thirteenth Division and the Sixth Division. These three divisions are all old rivals of the Sichuan Army. Liu Tianchu won a complete victory when the Thirteenth Division attacked the Huaihe River, and the Sixth Division defended Nanjing.

The Fifth Division had many battles with Ma Liangjun in Shandong, but had no direct contact with Liu Tianchu.

Liu Tianchu made a strong request to Bai Chongxi, Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone, and the 22nd Army was deployed on the Mengcheng, Bengbu, and Huainan lines north of Huangchuan to cover the flanks of Zhang Zizhong of the Northwest Army. At the same time, Chen Jiaqi and the 21st Army were stationed in Suqian and Huaibei.

Echoing each other from afar, Bai Chongxi agreed to Liu Tianchu's request after consideration. If Xinyang fell, the Sichuan army could retreat to Shandong.

At the same time that Liu Tianchu completed the deployment, in the Liu'an headquarters of the Japanese Army, the commander of the 13th Division Tianzhong Jingyi learned that the front-line defenders in Mengcheng, Bengbu, and Huainan were Liu Tianchu's troops of the Sichuan Army, and his expression became solemn. In the Battle of Huai River,

The Thirteenth Division was forced to withdraw to Bengbu. The Thirteenth Division, which had once been famous in North China, suffered a big loss for the first time.

While Tanaka Shizuichi was deep in thought, Nakamura Koichi, the leader of the Sakura Death Squadron next to him, could not restrain his excitement. The Sakura Death Squadron suffered a heavy loss in the battle at Huai River. He was eager to fight against Liu Tianchu once again.

Seeing Tanaka's silence, Nakamura Hikari quickly walked towards the map, pointed at the Mengcheng line and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, please allow me to lead two brigades to raid Mengcheng and disrupt the Sichuan army's deployment."

Tanaka came back from his thoughts, frowned and said, "Do you want to go deep alone?"

Nakamura Hikaru shook his head repeatedly: "It is a taboo for military strategists to go deep alone. I will not do that. As far as I know, the front line in Mengcheng is Feng Huaizhu of the 137th Division of the Sichuan Army, not Liu Tianchu's main force. Liu Tianchu's intention is obvious. He deployed the main force in Huainan

The front line mainly covers Shandong. As long as the division commanders support the two wings, the Mengcheng front line can be easily obtained."

Nakamura Koichi's command is good at raids. The Thirteenth Division captured Bengbu and Suzhou were all successful with Nakamura's raids. Seeing Nakamura's confidence, Tanaka nodded: "I will ask the base camp to cooperate with the Tenth Division in Qingdao. Nakamura-kun's raids

Success is crucial for the Thirteenth Division to capture Xinyang, I look forward to good news from you."

"Thank you General for your support! Nakamura will definitely do his best." Nakamura Koichi saluted with his chest raised and walked out quickly.

Nakamura Koichi is a legendary figure. He is the only member of the prestigious Nakamura family in Tokyo who has attended the sergeant school, and then made a special trip to Germany to study the special operations profession, which was highly classified in the world at the time. After returning to China, he combined the family's direct inheritance of swordsmanship and applied it in actual combat.

In the process, unexpected results were achieved and several glories were created for the Japanese army.

Nakamura and his Sakura kamikaze raided the command structure of the New Seventh Division at the critical moment of the Battle of Naghu, and found an effective breakthrough for the Japanese army. Since then, they have been collected as treasures by the base camp. After that, most of the team members

They were sent individually to various theaters on the Chinese battlefield to instruct troops on how to conduct mountain warfare and anti-guerrilla warfare.

Now most of the people who follow Nakamura Koichi on the raid are new recruits. After Nakamura lost the battle at Huaihe River, he gritted his teeth and vowed to avenge this arrow. Recently, he got information that the Sichuan Army also established a Snow Fox Rangers.

The captain turned out to be Li Sixin, who also studied in Germany, and now Li Dayong. He laughed sincerely when he heard the news. Hearing that the Snow Fox Rangers were also a special forces team, Nakamura and his men were gearing up, although they had not yet interacted with the Snow Fox Rangers.

They had fought against each other before, but they knew they were elites from the same army as themselves. Isn't it elite versus elite? Everyone jumped at the chance to try.

Facing a powerful enemy, Nakamura still warned: "The enemy is well-equipped, so don't be careless. The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. Our main task this time is to force the Snow Fox Rangers to fight us and open up the front line of Xianyang. You must remember that as a death squad, Members, never give up hope in any adversity, and be calm in adversity. Always remember that we are a team and do not try to be individual heroes. Of course, individual strength cannot be ignored. The performance of the entire team is absolute in winning or losing. There is no guarantee. Your endurance and endurance are not worthy of being a commando. You are all the elites of our Japanese empire, don’t let me down."

Everyone agreed with a roar. Seeing that everyone was confident, Nakamura began to deploy a combat plan. "A single group will advance in a double-arrow attack formation. Our three assault groups will form a Y-shaped formation. We will alternately cover each other with firepower and support each other in times of crisis. Remember, No matter what the circumstances, we must not mess up our formation. If we mess up our formation, we will be easily defeated by the enemy one by one."

The so-called double-arrow attack formation is composed of two people opening a path in front and moving forward by covering each other on the left and right. The first fire team forms the first right diagonal attack arrow in the back and directs the attack. The personnel of the first fire team will advance closely, and the second fire cover team will advance behind with a left diagonal attack arrow. The sniper will also advance forward, so that the sniper can kill the enemy from a long distance with heavy firepower, and can form a Sector firepower.”

This formation has a tight structure, even firepower distribution, and a short reaction time to various possible situations. It is a formation that is widely used in open areas. In addition, if the horizontal distance between each group is widened, , then this formation can immediately become a wide-plane search formation, which is particularly effective and easy to use when conducting rapid searches in open terrain. Especially when encountering unknown enemy forces, it can make the fastest deployment in the shortest time and carry out effective operations. annihilate the enemy.

A battalion under Feng Huaizhu was stationed at the Liujiayao position outside Mengcheng. The battalion commander was Gao Minshan, who was the first to capture the carrier pigeon Kenji Doihara and completely annihilate the Sakai detachment. Gao Minshan was indispensable for the complete annihilation of the Sakai detachment and was promoted from company commander to battalion commander. The front line of Mengcheng is not the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, so the defense of Liujiayao's position is relatively loose.
