Chapter 284 United Front Joint

On January 23, 1929, a week has passed since the start of the war between the Hualian League. Li Jishen's new Guangdong clan was retreating step by step and completely lost Chenzhou. The front-line troops are now hiding in Hengyang, and the support troops are also coming one after another, which can be said to be a gathering of stars.

Li Jishen's subordinates still have strong generals with strong combat power. Among them, Ye Mingtao was also in a normal battle in this battle, showing a calm and steady general style, and began to attract attention from the world.

His army, with its terrain and number of people, eased the Chinese army's offensive. Although it was still far from turning defeat into victory, at least it stabilized the front line and prevented the morale of the army from collapsing. This was very rare.

The command center of the division headquarters is set up in a large mansion, guarded by elite guards, so you can rest assured about safety issues. Ye Mingtao fought in front of the sand table with a solemn expression and a little cold in his narrow eyes.

The enemy's offensive was beyond his expectations. In the past few days, as the situation in Chenzhou began to stabilize, the further actions of the Chinese army have also been launched, with the goal directly aimed at Hengyang.

The fall of Leiyang is just a matter of time. According to the information reported by the scout, it can be seen that the opponent's use of troops is stable. He gathers elite troops and crushes them all the way, without any fancy. Because of this, it cannot be cracked.

In fact, in summary, Ye Mingtao also summarized the three major characteristics of the enemy. First, it is its excellent weapons, especially the assault rifle that can continuously fire bullets. The rapid firepower and precise killing effect allow the enemy to suppress the number of troops that have the advantage in firepower with a smaller number.

Instead, the number of artillery is amazing. In every battle, I will always be baptized by the cannons two to three times, which is very harmful to morale. Moreover, according to the military newspapers on the front line, the enemy seems to have a very small mortar, which poses great threat to the machine gun defense point.

As for the large-scale use of tank troops, it is even more helpless. After this weapon with strong defense capabilities is put into the battlefield, it is a fatal threat to the ** army that relies on machine guns, trenches and barbed wire as its main defense mode.

There are often situations where the positions are broken through and then divided and eliminated. The ** Army has no good way to deal with such armored vehicles. In this era, only tanks can resist tanks.

Fortunately, Hengyang is located in the axial zone of the concave surface of Hunan Province, surrounded by ridges and mountains formed by the intermittent rings formed by ancient downs, and is embedded with large areas of red hilly plateaus with white system and lower third system red layer, forming a typical basin situation.

This place is high in the south and low in the north, with a higher terrain on the south side of the basin. Peaks over 1,000 meters stretch for dozens of kilometers east and west. However, the north is relatively low. Although the Hengshan Mountains are relatively high, each peak stands in the middle in the shape of a peak and forest. There are lower northward passages on both sides of the east and west sides. The altitude of both sides of the Xiangjiang River Valley on the east side is below 100 meters.

The entire terrain is compounded from southwest to northeast, while the basin is lowered from the surroundings to the middle, showing a level 4 razing of 1,000 meters, 800-700 meters, 400-300 meters, and 150 meters. The surrounding hills are surrounded by hills and hills in the central plains intersect.

Moreover, the dense river network and the complex terrain effectively hindered the combat effectiveness of the enemy tank troops. Ye Mingtao had seen such expensive armored vehicles, and the ** Army himself had them. However, those expensive things will not be used on the front line, but will be supplied to the headquarters as the final trump card.

The ** Army does not have its own complete industrial production system, and of course it cannot be as generous as the Chinese Army. It is difficult to fight for the poor. Ye Mingtao can only smile bitterly. Even so, he must persist and make efforts for the responsibilities he shoulders.

In terms of fighting will, the ** Army has also completed the modern army after the red transformation. With ** belief as the condensation of morale, it is nothing more than being too backward in equipment. If you really want to continue fighting, the Chinese army must pay a high price to achieve victory.

"Sir, the Chinese army vanguard has reached Hengnan, please help me quickly." The messenger, who smelled of gunpowder, rushed into the tent with a crying voice, and the guards outside the door could not stop him.

"What's going on?" Ye Mingtao also recognized that he was his fellow countryman, and the area he was responsible for was Hengnan County. In the emergency military situation, Ye Mingtao did not intend to pursue his arbitrary behavior of breaking in without authorization.

"Early this morning, the enemy suddenly launched a fierce offensive on our positions, first of which was the continuous bombing of aircraft and then the charge of armored tanks. Although our army resisted tenaciously, there were heavy casualties. Now the situation is in danger. It is true that the division quickly sent reinforcements."

There was still oil on his face and anger and unwillingness in his voice. How could he be happy after so many colleagues were killed? He was the deputy general of the army, and the chief general was not allowed to leave without leaving, but he could come back to ask for help.

Looking at the anxious look of his subordinates, Ye Mingtao also knew that things were urgent and immediately ordered the army to be mobilized and arranged a reliable general to rush to the front line.

Hengnan County is located in the southern part of Hengyang City, and is a hilly basin with a concave shape. The county is adjacent to Hengyang City and the southeast and west sides. Hengnan is a unique geographical location. The south is the gateway to Baiyue, the north is the throat of Sanchu, and the southeast and west sides are the city of Hengyang City.

The county has a large population, with a total of 120,000 people. With the transportation of canals, the economic situation is quite affordable. This is also the intersection of the main roads in the territory, and it is backed by Hengyang and has a superior geographical location.

The two armies in the eyes of faith broke out here, and this determined the future direction of the situation in southern China and affected the thoughts of many forces.

Three wheeled armored vehicles and armored trucks were destroyed, and two tanks were attacked by armor-piercing bombs on the side and were towed back to the workshop for repair. As for the bodies of those who did not belong to the Chinese army, they were pushed from all directions by dozens of bulldozers, all piled into the basin, forming a huge tomb, and then used bulldozing shovels to dig out a large amount of soil from the ground for landfill.

The enemy was tenacious in fighting, and the casualties of the Chinese army began to increase. Although it was less than one thousandth of the proportion, it was already quite large in total. After all, this was a real war. Even if it was completely superior to the other side in combat power, it was obviously not realistic to face the few domestic squadrons that were currently in China, and it was obviously not realistic to win without losses.

The relatively open terrain conditions allow the combat effectiveness of the armored forces to be fully utilized. The tracks made of high-strength synthetic rubber crushed forward under the driving of the turbine. The huge body, thick armor, and a 47-mm forty-liter cannon are even more heartbreaking.

This is the most advanced tank designed in the world. The turret and body are cast from steel, with beautiful curves, and radio intercoms are standard equipment. These unique designs are incomparable to many previous generations.

The Gray Wolf I-type tank is a second-generation main battle tank developed by Tianyu Group based on the technology provided by Germany and comprehensively considering its own needs. The total combat weight is nearly 20 tons, the crew is 3 people, the front armor thickness of the turret is 55 mm, the body armor thickness is 40 mm, and the weakest rear is 20 mm, which has a very good protection effect.

This is also the main battle tank currently equipped by the Chinese army. It is a medium-sized armored tank in the system. It is highly popular among soldiers and officers with its superior comprehensive strength ranking. Compared with the first generation of Gray Wolf I-type designed by Germany, this model has obvious more modern and powerful attributes.

The Gray Wolf I-type tank is equipped with a 47mm L/40 cannon, which is the most powerful tank gun on the Western Front battlefield. The power system is an eight-cylinder gasoline engine with a power of 190 horsepower and a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour on the road.

The Chinese army had more than 400 Type III tanks in total, and all equipped with troops, and many of them were even driven directly from the tractor factory to the battlefield. Compared with the same type of products of the current powerful countries, the Type III tanks have better firepower and protection, and only have a slightly inferior power.

The high-quality engine technology is not lacking, but the cost is too high. The military rejected this procurement plan and chose another engine that is cheap and has acceptable performance.

The battle was still in stalemate, and the commander of the ** Army was very smart and chose a complex mountainous area in the eastern suburbs of Hengnan County to build solid fortifications. Because of the rivers and steep earth slopes, the tank troops could not be deployed, and the progress was slow simply by relying on the combat effectiveness of the infantry.

The Chinese soldiers were all regular soldiers who had received strict training, but they were never veterans who had been fighting for the rest of their lives. Whether they were in the battle mentality or the strength they had, they were obviously suppressed.

Nansha Military Academy is also a local college, and it is far inferior to Huangpu in talent recruitment. The lack of a group of middle and lower-level officers with excellent quality has clearly shown that the Chinese army has rigid traces in specific tactical command.

It was just with its powerful equipment that the enemy was suppressed tightly in the front line. After experiencing the war in Chenzhou, the Chinese army had been baptized by war. Whether it was the morale of the army, or the soul of the team, they were condensed in the war, and they began to have the shadow of a strong army.

The opponent is also the ** Party Army that has been in the limelight in recent years. The fighting style of fearlessness has also left a deep impression on many Chinese soldiers. Even if they hate the ignorance and fanaticism of these people, this fearless spirit is still worthy of admiration.

The one responsible for attacking the enemy troops guarding complex terrain was the light infantry platoon of the Chinese army. They were separated from each other by a certain distance, constantly moving the front line forward with a dispersed encirclement.

The light insurgent platoon is composed of a platoon headquarters, 2 machine gun groups and 3 infantry squads. The platoon headquarters has a platoon leader, platoon sergeant, and platoon radio soldiers. The machine gun group is composed of machine gunners and assistants, while the infantry squad is composed of squad leader and 2 infantry groups. The infantry group has a squad leader, light machine gunner, grenade and rifleman.

Each platoon has its own infinite line communication soldiers, which is used as a means of communication and communication. In terms of specific combat mode, Japan's meat bomb charge tactics have also been abandoned. The human-sea battle consumes too much for soldiers and does not meet the purpose and actual needs of Hualian.

Instead, this tactical concept of squad infiltrating assault and cutting off enemy military formations was adopted, which was also related to the weapon equipment and technical strength of the Chinese army.

The large-scale use of assault rifles and general-purpose machine guns allows a small number of soldiers to suppress the firepower of the enemy's superior forces in a small range. The efficiency and convenience of radio communications allow the headquarters to accurately command the soldiers scattered in a large extent.

It seems scattered, but in fact it is concentrated in combat power. Once the soldiers in front find a strong stronghold that is difficult to deal with, they can use radio equipment to call the headquarters to send the air force to support. The bombing targets are accurately marked, making the army the eyes of the air force and the enemy's nightmare.

This is the three-dimensional combat model of the Chinese army. The armies cooperate with each other and use their powerful technical strength to widen the gap between them. The ** Party army, which was still in the early industrial era, could not resist the crushing of this force, even if they defeated the Chinese army many times in terms of fighting will.

The Hengyang defenders had strong troops and the Hengnan battle situation was of great importance, so they naturally sent nearly a reorganized division to rescue them. But in the end they could not withstand the pressure of the Chinese army and were defeated on the whole line. Even Hengyang's defense had begun to loosen.

Behind Hengyang is Zhuzhou, and behind Zhuzhou is Changsha fallen Changsha, which is an irreversible defeat. Hengyang has always been a natural barrier for the entire Hunan Province to face the south. If Hengyang is lost, Changsha cannot survive alone. Ye Mingtao will be helpless in such a crisis.

Where did the army battle formations come from so many strategies and wonderful ideas? They all calculate the strength of each other's troops, and then plan and use them reasonably. In history, it was not uncommon to win the more with less, but it never appeared.

The Chinese army has a solid foundation and abundant supplies. As long as it is in line with the rules and pushes hard, the ** army will have no choice but to imagine. Apart from consumption, there is no other way to go. The so-called guerrilla warfare has never been related to the overall victory or defeat.

If you win the decisive battle, you can win this battle. Any battlefield behind enemy lines and mobile combat traction is nonsense. No matter that era, large-scale regular troops need to rely on logistics. The era of cold weapons is not so obvious, at least it only depends on food, and the consumption of weapons is not considered in the eyes.

But in the age of hot weapons, without supplies is just scum, and bullets cannot be obtained by looting, right? As for snatching the opponent's supplies in the enemy-occupied area every day? This is simply a joke about the whole army, and it is meaningless.

You can still play with it if you have a small number of people. If you have a scale of more than one thousand, you can't afford such a wandering battle at all.

With a terrifying rumbling, the gray wolf ii tank took the lead and rushed into the county town. There was still a small number of troops stationed in the army that were resisting tenaciously, making the move to fight the beasts, but it had nothing to do with the overall situation, and extinguishing it was a matter of a blink of an eye.

With his own strengthening regiment, Nong Pengming became the first general to attack Hengnan. This must be another highlight in the calculation of military achievements. At this time, the dark and somewhat delicate face was filled with a smile, sitting in his armored vehicle, listening to the correspondent report to him about the evolution of the battle situation.

The information is smooth and the command of the battle situation is flexible and volatile, which reduces the talent requirements for the generals a lot. Don’t underestimate it. In the past wars, the troops sent out were difficult for the head to command and dispatch.

Either win or lose, you can't help yourself.

No matter what, like now, you can directly grasp the front-line combat situation through radio contact with front-line platoon-level officers, and then arrange further combat plans according to actual combat. Advance and retreat are moderate, organized closely, and close cooperation can be carried out between nearby combat squads.

This narrows the experience gap between commanders and each other, because the officers of the Chinese army do not need to make perfect prejudgments in advance, but can make moderate adjustments in actual combat.

Even if the opponent is a veteran of a hundred battles with very skilled tactical command, he is powerless to do anything about such long-distance command. Perhaps all teams can complete their combat missions, but they already have an advantage in overall strength and the opponent has no loopholes to exploit.

Hengnan fell, Hengyang was in danger, and Changsha was in danger, and Li Jishen was really anxious. He had not completed the military mobilization, and his subordinates had already disobeyed Li Jishen at this time, and the troops that were lost on the front were mostly his own direct line.

Now he does not have enough strength to deter the other powerful officers. Even if he is the vice principal of Huangpu, who is willing to sacrifice his troops to repay his mentor?

Although the ** army has elite troops, it has been able to fight in the south for several years and can be strong. However, because of the recent expansion of enrollment, many troops have increased in numbers and their quality has declined. It is okay to fight a good battle, but it is really difficult to fight a tough battle.

It’s not that Li Jishen is incompetent, but that he has no time to train these new recruits into powerful troops like the Whampoa Army. War can temper the combat effectiveness of the army, but it has its limits. Such a defeat is not called training, it is called exhaustion.

Each battle will definitely lose more than 30%, and there will be no victory, and the morale will be low, and the morale of the army will be dispersed. In the long run, the foundation will inevitably collapse. In the history of time and space, the ** army fought all its vitality with Japan, allowing the Red Gate to steal the great river. Many novices do not understand the truth here, and think that Jiang Ruiyuan is incompetent, and is really ignorant and ridiculous.

If you win, you will naturally have trophy and you will be promoted and wealthy afterwards. After a few times, the morale of the army will naturally be condensed without any magical means. But if you lose every battle, how can the officers and soldiers be promoted and wealthy? It is not impossible to encourage them by relying on the concept of **, but how much can they be encouraged?

Five percent or ten percent? Then these people always die the fastest, and the rest are the fenceists. The wind blows both sides and turns over and over again, and the defeat will be determined.

Three days later, the Chinese army rectified its forces and advanced to Hengyang again. Li Jishen could no longer hold it in his hands and led the main force to swear an oath in Changsha and was personally going to Hengyang for rescue. This was his last foundation, and he had no way out. With such courage, he could be considered a desperate fight.

The battle situation here also involves all the forces in the combat sequence of the ** Army. No matter how internal conflicts are, everyone is still a member of the ** Party. It is okay to sit idly by and watch Li Jishen lose his army, but he will never sit idly by and die

On the day Li Jishen went to war, Jiang Ruiyuan sent a telegram across the country, claiming that the Hualian League was a rebel, and he brazenly sent troops to Hunan to destroy China's peace. He called on all parts of the country to rise up and fight against them.

Feng Huanzhang, Bai Chongxi, Tang Shengzhi, Yan Xishan, Zhang Hanqing, a well-known name in the domestic military and political circles, all appear on the list of the Southern Expedition and striking coalition forces.

Jiang Ruiyuan did not want to fight with all his might, but had the intention of testing Hualian's trump card, and also shifted the internal conflicts to the aggressive Southern China Federation...
