Chapter 321 The three-month deadline is approaching
Hearing Yamamoto Kazuki's evaluation of "Three-Three Tactics", Yoshio Shinozuka and Shun Miyano both looked surprised.
Miyano Jun asked: "Yamamoto-kun, you said that the China Army's "Three-Three System Tactics" is just talk on paper. I don't know how you can see it?
You know, the effectiveness of this set of tactics has been proven in the hands of the China Army."
Yamamoto Kazuki still said with a cold face: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, what I am saying is that this tactic has no meaning for large force operations."
"Wang Chengzhu used this tactic to achieve some victories, but they were all based on small-unit operations."
"If a large force is fighting, this tactic will be useless."
It was okay for Yamamoto Kazuki not to explain, but Miyano Shun became even more confused when he explained: "How do you say this?"
Yamamoto Kazuki: "Strictly speaking, this tactic cannot be said to have no effect. If used properly, it can indeed greatly reduce the casualties of the troops in a tough battle."
"But this tactic also has many disadvantages. First, the soldiers participating in the battle need to have high quality, individual marksmanship, and well-trained formations."
“Secondly, you also need to have very good team firepower, that is, automatic weapons such as light machine guns, which can provide sufficient fire cover for each combat team when they launch an attack.
Of course, it would be great if there is strong artillery firepower that can directly blow through the defense lines of the defending troops."
"These conditions are indispensable."
"If the soldiers participating in the battle do not have high quality and poor marksmanship, the formation will fall apart as soon as they are hit, and there will not be enough automatic firepower to provide fire cover for the assault troops.
Then there is not much difference between them rushing forward and facing death."
"It is true that the Chinese army's formation can greatly reduce the damage caused by the imperial army's artillery and machine gun fire. But arranging such a loose formation is almost like a refueling tactic. With the marksmanship of the imperial army soldiers, it is not possible at all.
We need to use artillery fire and machine gun fire, and infantry alone can wipe out these charging China Tubal Road!"
Kazuki Yamamoto hit the nail on the head and talked about the drawbacks and shortcomings of the "Three-Three System Tactics". He is worthy of being an expert in special operations.
After hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio and Miyano Shun both nodded in deep agreement.
Yamamoto Kazuki added: "The really difficult thing about the China Independent Battalion is not that they have practiced the "Three-Three System Tactics", but that their battalion commander Wang Chengzhu is very cunning. He almost always uses conspiracy or sneak attacks.
Or setting up an ambush halfway, and never confronting the imperial army head-on when the strength is inferior to that of the imperial army."
"In addition, the strength of the Independent Battalion cannot be underestimated. They have won so many battles and have obtained a lot of heavy firepower weapons from the imperial army, especially since the military columns in Wanjia Town were robbed."
"These weapons and equipment are enough for the independent battalion to fight several small-scale battles.
In other words, the effect of "Three-Three System Tactics" on the independent battalion is not as great as we imagined. At best, it is just the icing on the cake.
Even without the "Three-Three Tactics", with the strength and weapons and equipment of an independent battalion, it is still possible to defeat a small group of imperial troops."
"This set of tactics is somewhat similar to special operations. It is only suitable for small groups of troops."
"The large forces of the Eighth Route Army want to use this tactic, but they do not meet the conditions I mentioned before. If the troops really meet those conditions, they do not need to use this tactic at all."
"That's why I say that Wang Chengzhu's "Three-Three System Tactics" is just talk on paper."
Yamamoto Kazuki was able to talk so much in one breath not just from the analysis of the document in his hand, but because he had been studying Wang Chengzhu and the Independence Battalion.
At this time, he just summarized the information he collected based on the "Three-Three System Tactics" and told it.
The several disastrous defeats of the Yamamoto Special Agent Team were almost all caused by Wang Chengzhu and his independent battalion. Naturally, Yamamoto Kazuki would not give up. He always thought about annihilating the independent battalion to avenge his shame.
However, he missed one point, and that was what effect the "Three-Three System Tactics" would have if used in a night battle.
After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Chief of Staff Miyano Shun and asked: "Miyano-kun, what do you think?"
Miyano Shun: "I think Yamamoto-kun's analysis is very good. Given the conditions on the China-Tuba Road, let alone the artillery firepower and machine gun firepower that can suppress the imperial army, they can't even produce bullets for soldiers to train marksmanship.
Even if this tactic is used in future battles, it will not pose any threat to the imperial army.
In my opinion, we should remain consistent and focus on the southeastern Shanxi region."
Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, obviously agreeing with Miyano Jun's point of view, and then looked at Yamamoto Kazuki and said: "Yamamoto-kun, how is the training of your special agent team?"
Kazuki Yamamoto said respectfully: "Thanks to the full support of the Commander, the combat effectiveness of the special agent team has been restored to 80%."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded again: "Well, it's very good, but it's not enough. Your special agent team will be needed for the next battle in southeastern Shanxi, so you must restore the combat effectiveness of the special agent team to 100% in the shortest possible time.
One hundred, even better than before!"
"Hiyi!"
Yamamoto Kazuki paused heavily: "Commander, please rest assured that I will do my best to bring the combat effectiveness of the special agent team to a higher level!"
A smile of relief burst out on Yoshio Shinozuka's face: "Yoshi! You can go back and continue training."
"Hiyi!"
Yamamoto Kazuki paused again, then paid tribute to Chief of Staff Miyano Shun, and then turned and left the headquarters...
Time flies and another 3 days pass.
There are still 3 days left until the end of the boss's three-month evaluation.
New Regiment Headquarters.
Since the Japanese troops in the northwestern Shanxi region have been staying indoors for more than half a month in the past half month, which provided sufficient development space and time for various units of the Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong's new regiment also completed the boss's task indicators ahead of schedule.
Excluding the independent battalion, the total strength of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions alone exceeded 5,000.
Without the pressure from his boss, Li Yunlong's face is filled with a happy and contented smile all day long.
"Hahaha! Our Lao Li has completed the boss's task targets ahead of schedule and exceeded the target. The boss has no reason to punish me anymore."
"And your Lao Zhao's idea of changing partners will also come to nothing."
Inside the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong took a sip of tea and said to political commissar Zhao Gang.
However, Zhao Gang had no intention of quarreling with Li Yunlong, but said: "Old Li, there are only three days left before the three-month deadline. Should we send a few correspondents out to find out more and let each battalion write
Prepare a summary report and determine the specific number of people.
Otherwise, we can’t just say the homework is done when the boss comes to check it, but we don’t know exactly how many people there are in the group, right?”
Chapter completed!
