Volume Three, Cannons, Bombing His Mother Chapter 437: Be cruel to yourself
Feng Yuxiang returned to the headquarters of the 39th Division with a dark face and full of anger. It was obvious that Bai Chongxi set up a trap for him today, just to get Feng Yuxiang to share the responsibility. If he had known this, he should have claimed that he was not sick at that time.
Go, who cares, Zhang Huchen and Zhang Maochen are here to invite me, what can I do if I don’t go? But it’s too late to say this, and now I’m inexplicably suffering from a loss.
When they arrived at the division headquarters, before Feng Yuxiang could sit down, two blind guys, Shi Yousan and Ji Hongchang, came up to ask about the meeting. This gave Feng Yuxiang an opportunity to vent his anger, and he immediately
He was so angry that he pointed at his nose and cursed. The content was nothing more than that as an officer, he did not lead the troops properly, left his post without permission and secretly inquired about the military situation, etc. He trained them until they were disgraced, and then made the two brothers kneel in front of them and gave them a few beatings in person.
whipped them, and finally sent them out to stand guard at the division gate all night.
After being beaten for no reason, he still had to stand guard like a big-headed soldier. Even though Shi Yousan and Ji Hongchang were now the battalion commander and the other the guard company commander, they did not dare to disobey Feng Yuxiang's paternalism.
Accepting their misfortune, the two men grimaced, endured the pain of being torn apart and carried their rifles outside obediently.
After dealing with Shi Yousan and Ji Hongchang, the fire in Feng Yuxiang's heart calmed down a little. He went back to the house and drank herbal tea, thinking about how to deal with it next.
It is definitely not possible to push the cow. Based on Feng Yuxiang's judgment, Bai Chongxi's suggestion is likely to be approved by the country immediately. You must know that although Bai Chongxi is not as qualified as himself, he is a direct descendant of Fang Zida in the National Defense Force, not to mention that there is Zhang Huchen in the 45th Division.
.At the moment when the government has declared war on the Soviet Union, it is not an exaggeration for the 45th Division and the 39th Division to attack appropriately as assisting the defense.
But if he wanted to cooperate tacitly with Forty-Five, Feng Yuxiang couldn't swallow the sigh in his heart. Just as he thought during the meeting, the credit for winning the battle would not be as good as that of Bai Chongxi. Once he loses, he will have to share half of the responsibility, no matter what
He, Feng Yuxiang, does not benefit as much as Bai Chongxi in winning or losing. Moreover, when a new group army is formed later, if the merit is judged by merit, Bai Chongxi might jump over to Feng Yuxiang and become the commander.
"What a damn unlucky person!" The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. Feng Yuxiang raised his hand and slapped himself several times. Until now, he couldn't think of any solution, so he could only take it one step at a time.
Bai Chongxi sent a telegram to the country in the name of the results of the meeting between the 39th Division and the 45th Division. At the same time, Zhang Huchen also used his authority to report the situation on the battlefield to Fang Zida through special channels. Shortly after receiving the telegram, the country called back to
Bai Chongxi, the telegram is very simple, it only contains four words "acting cheaply".
Bai Chongxi was overjoyed when he received the telegram, which meant that the country had agreed to his proposal and handed the command rights into his hands. Next, Bai Chongxi asked Zhang Huchen to serve as the liaison officer with the 39th Division and began to deploy defensive arrangements.
At the same time, he personally arrived at the front line to meet with Baron Wrangel and gradually accepted part of the defense.
With the support of the squadron, Baron Wrangel finally calmed down and handed over part of the defense to the 39th Division and the 45th Division, which gave the Russian Empire government forces room to deploy.
The pressure to attack the Soviet Red Army was also greatly reduced.
Not long after, reinforcements from the Far East government also arrived one after another. Although the strength of the defense line was still far less than that of the Red Army on the opposite side, the situation was at least no longer as severe as before. After repelling the Red Army's attacks several times in a row,
, Baron Wrangel secretly wondered if the old trick would be repeated, and Frunze would do the same thing as he did in the Siberian battle.
After thinking about it for a while, Baron Wrangel felt that it seemed feasible and went to find Bai Chongxi and others to discuss it. But this time, Bai Chongxi shook his head repeatedly and did not agree to take the initiative.
Although he has not officially fought against Frunze, judging from his observations these days, Frunze is definitely not an easy opponent. The tactic he is using now is a fueling tactic. From a military point of view, this kind of fueling
Tactics are the last resort in an attack. Only people who don't understand military affairs will use them. You must know that an attack requires a rush, breaking through the opponent's weakest point with the strongest force, and then tearing apart the defense line to win. Add fuel tactics, this tactic
From a literal explanation, it can be understood that during the attack, when the strength of the troops is not enough, add some offensive power, and then increase it if it is not enough... Repeatedly, this will make it impossible for the attacker to clench his fingers into a fist and make it more powerful.
Using all the strength. Instead, the defending side gets a chance to breathe and deploy its troops for defense.
A good commander would never make such a mistake, using refueling tactics to break through the defense line. Frunze's military quality is not only among the best in Russia, but also among the world's military circles, but he chose to use
Did he lose his mind by adopting such a "fool"-like tactic? It would be wrong to think so.
After observation, Bai Chongxi was surprised to find that Frunze's refueling tactics were completely different from ordinary refueling tactics. He used his troops to the extreme. On the one hand, he put large troops behind and sent elite cavalry and infantry divisions around.
In order to achieve the purpose of disturbing the opponent, sabotage, and reconnaissance. On the other hand, in response to the current problem of insufficient training and low combat effectiveness of the Red Army, Frunze adopted a combination of fueling tactics and rotating attacks, repeatedly sending troops to attack the defense line.
Its purpose is not to break through the defense line, but to consume one's own defensive strength and at the same time make the troops survive and eliminate during the attack, in order to achieve the purpose of training troops.
This method of using tactics can be said to be unheard of. Frunze almost didn’t care about human life. You must know that under his command, the casualty rate of the offensive Red Army recruits was extremely high. Often when a battalion was withdrawn, other
The number of survivors was only half of the original number, not including the disabled soldiers.
If it were an ordinary army, it would have collapsed long ago if it caused a casualty rate of 20%. But don’t forget that Frunze commanded the Soviet Red Army with firm belief and iron will. Don’t say that such an army has a casualty rate of 50%.
, it is possible to defeat them all. Moreover, during the attack, although the casualty rate is high, the losses caused to the enemy are not small. Compared with the Russian Imperial Government Army, the Soviet Union dare not say anything else.
There are plenty of them. The recruits constantly brought in from the rear absolutely overwhelm the opponent in terms of numbers. Even if they exchange 2 for 1, or even 3 for 1, or 5 for 1..., it is all worthwhile for Frunze.
Frunze was ruthless to the enemy and even more ruthless to his own people. He was indeed the general whom Stalin valued most. The previous battles confirmed that the Red Army's weakness in terms of soldier quality and combat effectiveness was fully exposed. What's more, the Chinese government has now asked the Soviets Declaring war, if we look at it from the perspective of military training, a year and a half is simply not enough time to train a recruit who has just picked up a gun into a veteran. So what should we do? The only way is to let these recruits directly go to the battlefield for training, and use Blood and fire allow soldiers to grow up in the shortest possible time.
Indeed, Frunze's method was approved by Stalin and had remarkable results. This is also the main reason why the Russian Imperial Government Army is increasingly struggling to face attacks. Pull up new troops, destroy half of them, then withdraw and reorganize. Reorganizing and then reorganizing, this method allowed Frunze to have several elite troops that had been tested by war in the shortest time.
In later generations, in World War II, the Soviets also used this tactic. Whether it was in the battles to defend Stalingrad or Moscow, they swept across European countries. The invincible Germans were defeated by this tactic. Breaking the blood flow will result in failure.
Bai Chongxi rejected the Baron's proposal because he saw Frunze's intention clearly. This opponent was far more powerful and cunning than the original opponent. Repeating the same tactics would not only fail to achieve results, but would also lead to huge losses.
In this era, due to nutritional reasons, the incidence of night blindness was extremely high. Although the Chinese Communist Army and the Russian government army had better supplies in the later period, many people in the army still had night blindness. As for the Soviet Red Army, not to mention, The incidence of night blindness is higher in the Red Army troops who can hardly even eat. This does not mean that the Red Army has lost the ability to fight at night because of this. Judging from the situation on the battlefield, Frunze has long been preparing for this. He has placed the large forces behind and is ready. , mainly to guard against the opponent's night attack, and with a large number of cavalry and elite infantry divisions swimming around, it is impossible to repeat the old trick of concealing the enemy.
After taking over the defense line, facing Frunze's repeated attacks, the 39th Division and the 45th Division had no trouble defending. They could even launch a small counterattack in some cases, causing more casualties to the opponent. But in the face of ambush, Longzhi's tactics and the endless support from the crowd made Bai Chongxi feel a headache. No matter how hard he tried, he could not think of a way to completely solve the situation at hand and break the deadlock.
"Bai Jiansheng has encountered a problem..."
At the General Staff Headquarters, Wu Peifu held the telegram sent from Siberia in his hand and knitted his brows. He did not expect that the Soviet Red Army would use this tactic to fight. It seemed unbelievable at first, but after careful consideration, it was inexplicable.
If one's own forces are powerful enough to overwhelm the opponent, then Frunze's move is not something to be feared at all. But now it is just the opposite. The Soviet Red Army, which has increased its troops many times, has far exceeded the defensive force on the Siberian defense line, and this The numbers are still increasing, and when they are scattered, even the best commander will be unable to do anything.
"Old Maozi is really ruthless. He doesn't regard human life as human life and plays head-on games." Wu Peifu cursed inwardly depressedly. At the same time, he also admired Frunze's decision. At the moment, the Chinese government is not ready to advance northward, and the Far East The government was unable to mobilize a large number of troops to go to the front because of the process of reorganizing the Trotskyist armed forces. Frunze realized this with the keen sense of smell of a first-class military strategist, and did not hesitate to use this tactic. If it were another person, I am afraid that there would be no such thing. Vision and courage.
"What's wrong, General?" Klug saw that Wu Peifu looked a little strange and couldn't help but ask.
