Chapter 383 Is it all like this?
Wuhan is located in the Jianghan Plain and is the intersection of the Pinghan and Guangdong-Han Railways. During the Battle of Jinling, some institutions of the National Government moved from Jinling to Wuhan. This place actually became the center of China's military, political and economics, and its strategic position is very important.
After occupying Jinling, the Japanese Army began to study the battle to capture Hankou, but due to restrictions on various conditions, it was temporarily shelved. In early April before the New Year, when the Japanese army decided to implement the Battle of Xuzhou, they also decided to implement the Wuhan battle.
When formulating the Xuzhou battle plan, the Japanese army expected the situation after the battle and also considered the future war in Wuhan. At the end of May, the Japanese army decided to carry out the Hankou battle in the autumn of that year, and the battle in Wuhan began.
After Xuzhou fell, in order to enhance its command and combat capabilities, the National Government decided to adjust its combat sequence and newly compiled the Ninth War Zone in mid-June this year. At the same time, it decided to use the troops affiliated to the fifth and ninth war zones to defend Wuhan.
The troops participating in the Wuhan Defense War, the air force, navy, a total of 14 armies, fifty armies, aircraft and ships, had a total of nearly one million troops. They used natural barriers such as Poyang Lake and Dabie Mountains to organize defenses and attempt to defend Wuhan.
Hu Biao, who would receive the frontline battle report every one or two days, was afraid that he wanted to lead the troops to the frontline as soon as possible. But Hu Biao knew even more that in this battle, it was too great that the risk of bringing only one spy to the frontline was too great.
In order to defend Wuhan to block the Japanese army's re-invasion, the National Government organized millions of troops. As the attacking side, the Japanese army used a lot of troops. No matter how powerful a company was, it was not enough to pull it into such a flesh-and-blooded grinder.
If the spy company commanded by Hu Biao at this moment had the weapons, equipment and combat power of the special operations squadron in later generations, otherwise, Hu Biao felt that the human sea tactics would actually have a greater effect in such a battle.
With more elite troops under his command, Hu Biao could push the cordon further away. With the release of the alert reconnaissance personnel, he could inquire about the marching dynamics of the surrounding Japanese troops to ensure that he would not crash into the Japanese heavy army area without knowing it.
Even if you are anxious, it is related to the life and death of the soldiers. Hu Biao still dares not be careless during the training camp. The reserve team is personally responsible for the training, while the elimination team is handed over to Xu Sandao to strengthen the training.
Although Hu Biao didn't know much about some of the experiences of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Hu Biao still knew that the Battle of Wuhan was of particular significance in the process of the War of Resistance Against Japan. This battle made the National Government change from strategic defense to strategic confrontation.
This also means that as the defensive anti-Japanese troops, after the end of this battle, a battlefield confrontation with the Japanese army was formed. The sharp frontiers since the Japanese invasion were much weakened after this battle.
In addition, Hu Biao also wanted to see Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the 9th War Zone 1 Corps, who became famous in this battle. This famous general of the Japanese army who was convinced and convinced by the Japanese army, felt that Hu Biao should have a chance to get in touch this time.
As a little butterfly traveling through time and space, Hu Biao has already felt that the general trend of history cannot cause any storm. This also means that the battle of famous Xue Yue will still be staged as scheduled.
What's more, among the information forwarded by the Military Control Commission, there is the information that Xue Yue was appointed commander-in-chief of the First Corps. Xue Yue's famous first battle, "Wanjialing Victory", will soon be staged if nothing unexpected happens.
If it weren't for the relationship between time and distance, Hu Biao really wanted to lead the troops to join in the fun. Fortunately, Hu Biao knew that this battle would last for a while. It would be better for him to avoid the edge of the attack and defense in the early stage.
During the process of leading the selection and assessment of the spy company, Hu Biao did not forget to call the company commanders under his command for a meeting and instructed: "I believe you all know the news about the start of the Wuhan Battle. The scale of this battle is beyond imagination.
In order to ensure the logistics supply of front-line combat troops, the Japanese defending troops stationed in various places will become more cautious in the near future. For the Japanese army, their main combat troops are highly dependent on logistics supplies.
The intelligence team will closely investigate the route of the Japanese army transporting supplies from now on, and each combat company will also enter a state of combat readiness. Once there is an appropriate opportunity, we can also make a few tricks to fight the Japanese to supply the convoy."
Hearing Hu Biao's combat instructions, each combat company said excitedly: "Battery Commander, will the idea of fighting the Japanese convoy at this time cause crazy revenge from the Japanese? We are behind the enemy, so there are not many troops!"
"It's okay! In fact, even if we don't take action at this time, when the Japanese withdraw their troops from the front line, they will still launch a large-scale clearance operation. For the Japanese, they attach great importance to the territory they are currently occupying.
From grain to mineral resources, the Japanese will speed up their search efforts. At present, most of the Japanese's main divisions have already rushed to the front line. We can't help much, and it's still okay to cause some trouble for the Japanese.
The most important thing is that if our troops want to expand behind enemy lines, they must develop the troops as soon as possible. When the expansion of the spy company is over, I will lead the troops to the front line and try to bring more veterans to our troops back.
Leading the new with the old, and increasing our strategic layout for the entire Soviet province in one to two years. As long as we complete this layout, we can attack and retreat and defend, and we can take the initiative in strategy!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
Looking at the excited company commanders, Hu Biao continued: "As the saying goes, raise troops for a thousand days, and use troops for a while. Our avenge camp has been established and expanded to this day, and the training time has been in the mountains and guerrilla areas.
The overall quality of the soldiers participating in this selection and assessment is better than I expected. But no matter how good the training is, they will still be tested on the battlefield. Taking advantage of this opportunity to raid the Japanese supply line, we will train the actual combat capabilities of the beating troops.
As commanders, you need to improve your military literacy while improving your command capabilities. In commanding operations, whoever commands the troops will suffer too much casualties, don’t blame me for holding you responsible for your command at that time!”
"Yes, battalion commander!"
He has been a subordinate of Hu Biao for a long time. These company commanders know that Hu Biao has formulated combat plans and cares about the casualties rate of the troops. If they do not want to be held accountable for command, they must be extra careful and careful when formulating combat plans.
Thinking of the end of the Wuhan Battle, the Japanese army would strengthen control and surveillance of the occupied areas, Hu Biao also knew that this period should be the golden period for the development of the troops. The Eighth Route Army, far away in the north, would also be swept wildly by the Japanese army in the later period.
Knowing that the anti-Japanese war troops could not be solved in a short time, the Japanese army would also adjust their corresponding combat strategies, from attack to control the occupied areas, so as to achieve their sinister intentions of controlling the occupied areas for a long time, and try to create the three eastern provinces in the south.
At present, the enemy-behind forces behind the enemy are undoubtedly mainly the New Fourth Army's enemy-behind anti-Japanese war forces. However, there is now a war-abiding camp led by Hu Biao. In terms of strength and control areas, the war-abiding camp is far from enough, both the troops and the base areas behind the enemy.
Under this situation, Hu Biao must strengthen control over the enemy's base in Runzhou, and then extend the expanded troops to other places outside Runzhou, and continuously expand the reputation and prestige of the Avenger Camp in Suzhou.
Considering the combat needs of each combat company in the later stage, Hu Biao allocated a batch of weapons, ammunition and materials to each company from the logistics warehouse of the battalion headquarters. He even asked each combat company to start forming direct artillery platoons and reconnaissance platoons.
Seeing the mortars, grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns received from the battalion headquarters, the company commanders of each combat company were naturally happy. With these heavy weapons, the attack power of each combat company would also be improved to a certain extent.
In addition to Hu Biao's request, the reconnaissance platoons formed by each company will be mainly eliminated trial training and selection personnel. This also means that these eliminated members who return to the company will also become a sharp knife force under the command of each company.
Perhaps there are still not many soldiers in each company, but Hu Biao has always emphasized that "soldiers are more important than elites." With these elite soldiers and weapons that are not inferior to the Japanese defending troops, the confidence of each combat company has also increased a lot.
On the other hand, the selected team members who entered the hinterland of Anhua Mountain and conducted assault training also truly realized that they could pass the assessment and selection, but they wanted to become the first step for the spy soldier. The later assault training still made them want to die.
What was happy was that Hu Biao taught the combat skills and concepts that made them know for the first time that there were so many skills in war. The pain was that the training standards and requirements of the spy company were stricter and even crueler than they thought.
Hu Biao is responsible for guiding training, while the old members of the spy company are responsible for supervising the execution. Looking at these new players, the old members will also say without hesitation: "You can't even hold on to training, so it's better for you to apply to leave. The spy company only has elites!"
After surviving the most difficult week, many new team members who were already exhausted began to adapt to the training standards of the spy company. In addition, the food supply of the spy company is indeed much better than before, so the new team members don’t have to worry about their bodies not being able to bear it.
There are countless training tasks during the day, and there are still endless tactical theory learning at night. As the fire platoon leader of the Special Second Company, Lei Xiong is also in the top rank among the trained officers and soldiers, but he still grits his teeth and perseveres.
Looking at Qin Tianyou who greeted him after the training, Lei Xiong would also smile bitterly: "You have come here like this before?"
"Yes! I can really learn a lot with the captain, but the process is really painful. But when I really arrived at the battlefield, I realized the captain's painstaking efforts. The spy company has never failed since its establishment, and it depends on its daily training accumulation.
In the captain's words, as long as the spy company takes action, it must ensure victory. Even while winning, it must ensure its own casualty rate. If anyone fails to meet the standards, the possibility of sacrificing on the battlefield will increase.
Although the training is tiring and hard, it is better than watching them die on the battlefield. When this assault training is over, you can feel that it feels really good to have strength. It is indeed much easier to kill the Japanese!”
