In order to demonstrate his point of view, Hu Lian continued to elaborate, "There are at least three advantages to encircling three and missing one. First, if the enemy has a chance to break out and escape, he will not fight to the death with our army, and our casualties will naturally be greatly reduced; second, if the enemy has a chance to escape, our casualties will naturally be greatly reduced;

When besieging the enemy, the enemy has been holding on to the field fortifications. No matter how fierce our artillery fire is, it may not be able to kill many people. Once the enemy leaves the position and has no protection, the effect of our artillery will increase at least several times; 3.

When the enemy troops were stubbornly defending, due to their neat organization, some officers saw that the Japanese soldiers were basically afraid to surrender. Even if some individual surrendered, they would be shot dead by the officers immediately. However, after the Japanese troops broke through, they were severely damaged by our artillery fire, and their organization would be disrupted, and even

There will be many Japanese troops left behind, and it will be much easier for us to capture prisoners."

"But if we can't annihilate them all, the enemy troops who fled back will all be veterans!" Hu Weidong said with a frown.

"But how many veterans did our army have to sacrifice in order to completely annihilate it?" Hu Lian retorted without giving up, "And the enemy's veterans who fled back were defeated veterans, while the ones our army sacrificed were victorious veterans!"

"It seems reasonable to say this, but if the enemy troops can be annihilated in an organized manner, even if the Japanese invaders rebuild their troops, they will not be able to increase their combat effectiveness without these veterans as the backbone." Hu Weidong insisted.

"The Chairman has said that the War of Resistance Against Japan will be a protracted war, and in a protracted war, 10,000 enemies will be annihilated in an organized manner (the annihilation here does not include injuries), which is not much different from 10,000 enemies in a rout war.

There is a big difference, because even if an enemy army is annihilated organically, the enemy can still draw veterans from other armies as the backbone of the reconstructed army. And it is said that the Japanese army has a tradition that each of their divisions will leave some in the country.

Veterans serve as the seeds for future reconstruction, so even if we eliminate the Japanese troops in an 'organized' manner, it will not affect their reconstruction..." Hu Lian, who has always cherished his soldiers, continued to state his opinions.

"I think about it, it seems that the Japs have this damn tradition..." Hu Weidong was about to admit his mistake, but suddenly thought of another question, "If we completely wipe out the enemy, the enemy troops will either die or die.

If he is captured and just repels the enemy, the wounded soldiers who account for the majority of the casualties will be able to recover and return to the army!"

"Chief, don't change the concept secretly. What we are discussing is obviously defeat, not repulse!" A somewhat excited Hu Lian even used the new term that Hu Weidong had said to him before, "As long as the pursuing party has strong maneuverability

Troops, even healthy enemy deserters find it difficult to escape, let alone injured ones? Isn’t the Battle of Tumu Fort in history a good example? On the contrary, in the encirclement and annihilation battle, which troop can kill ten with one

of?"

Hu Weidong couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words, and said in deep thought, "That makes sense, but fighting in the mountains is okay. Although the Japanese are strong, they can't outrun our iron feet. But in the plains, let alone our army has not yet become an organized organization.

The cavalry (actually because Hu Weidong has never paid much attention to cavalry), even if there are cavalry, the number of cavalry cannot be increased, and they will not be able to kill many enemies. If they encounter the Japanese troops who are resolutely blocking the rear, I am afraid there will be a lot of losses, but just for the sake of

Isn’t it too wasteful to form a large-scale cavalry for pursuit? After all, a war horse has to eat the food rations of five soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is not even as good as that of an infantryman!”

"Why do you have to use cavalry? Why did you forget those tanks we captured?" Hu Lian grinned and said, "Based on the armored group assault tactics you taught in class before, those 81 tanks are fighting head-on.

A little less, but it is enough for pursuit. Compared with cavalry, chariots can achieve almost zero casualties when pursuing. At the same time, chariots have a much greater psychological shock to the enemy than cavalry. Once the enemy

Defeated and fleeing, people are already panicking. At this time, our chariot fleet suddenly appears. Do you believe that many enemies will surrender? Moreover, for the enemy's rear troops, the armored cluster is also likely to defeat them in one fell swoop. This is a cavalry with weak defense.

It’s very difficult to do…”….

"The armored troops are very useful for pursuit, but where do we get the tank troops? I can drive, but I can only start one." Hu Weidong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I can also drive. In addition, there are at least tens of thousands of people in our army who came from the Central Army's ace troops. There should always be a few of them who can drive. Just let them serve as instructors for training." Hu Lian said with a smile.

.

"You know how to drive? When did you learn it?" Hu Weidong asked in surprise. He knew that Hu Lian successfully escaped with a tank during the Huaihai Battle in history, but he always thought that Hu Lian learned it when the 11th Division changed its art equipment in the late Anti-Japanese War.

Yeah, I never thought I would be able to do it now.

"After the Army's First Division's chariot convoy was established, I often went there to play..." Hu Lian said with a proud smile.

"So that's it. Hu Lian was the commander of the special agent battalion of the Eighteenth Army before. With his status as a student from Huangpu, it's not unusual for him to visit the chariot unit, but he can learn it just by playing around. His understanding is really high...

....", Hu Weidong sighed secretly.

Hu Lian then continued, "And in a short period of time our tanks are mainly used to scare people, so we only need those who can drive cars, fire cannons, and use periscopes, and send them to the tanks for some practice

It can be used immediately. Anyway, in the panic, the enemy army will not observe whether our chariot is driving steadily or whether our chariot cannon is firing accurately..."

At this time, Hu Weidong finally understood Hu Lian's intention and asked with a smile, "Have you said so much, are you planning on these tanks and armored vehicles?"

"Hehe, I really can't hide it from you. We are ready-made armored commanders. Who can I use?" Hu Lian said with a smile on his face.

"It's directly under the corps headquarters and I can command it myself, isn't it possible? Do you think you are the only one who can drive a tank?" Hu Weidong snorted coldly.

Hu Lian's handsome face, which had never been in shape, suddenly fell down, "If you don't act like this, you, a corps commander, are actually competing for jobs with us regiment commanders and brigade commanders..."

"Just kidding..." Hu Weidong laughed out loud when he heard this, and the previous displeasure was wiped away. In fact, now that he thinks about it, he was able to annihilate 6,000 Japanese troops and only 2,000 of his own troops died.

If there are many, this result is not bad. You must know that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, it was difficult for the Chinese army to fight against the Japanese permanent divisions...

After all, he is now a general commanding more than 200,000 people. Hu Weidong quickly stopped his smile and said to Hu Lian seriously, "81 tanks and armored vehicles are barely enough for a regiment-level establishment. If not for the continuous

During the war, there is no time to adjust the organization. You are already the brigade commander. Is it wrong to ask you to become the regiment commander again? "

"No grievance, no grievance, this is an armored regiment!" Hu Lian immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"That's true, but I don't want to waste talents." Hu Weidong pondered for a moment and smiled, "Forget it, it's easier for you. Our army has seized a lot of cars now, minus the ones allocated to the artillery.

, and more than two hundred vehicles can be spared. There is currently a general lack of anti-armor weapons in the country. You can add steel plates to them, equip them with machine guns, and use them as armored vehicles. You should be able to barely form an armored brigade. Now you

Are you satisfied? But you have to find the armored troops and cadres yourself. Once the list is finalized, submit it to me for signature..."

Hu Lian immediately cheered and went out to show off arrogantly...
