Volume Three, Cannons, Bombing His Mother Chapter Four hundred and forty-fifth Title
1921 soon passed, and the New Year of 1922 was coming. While the people were happily preparing to celebrate the New Year, a large number of troops were gathered in the military camps in Yumen.
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Keep up!"
"Where are you stumbled into your head? Do you want to eat a gun?"
"Charge! Why do you still hide behind when you are in front of the position? Bounce out!"
In a simulated training ground, an infantry battalion and a tank company were training to cooperate in combat. Several officers wearing red armbands rode motorcycles and rushed around the team, commanding the troops while shouting loudly. When they saw a few young men rushing over without following the training plan, they punched and kicked.
In the hills not far away, several senior officers held up their telescopes and looked at the storm of "battlefield", and couldn't help but frown.
"Is this what kind of tank and infantry cooperation? Can you win a battle in the same way?" The leader asked with three Venus stars on his shoulders shining in the sun. He put down his telescope and frowned unhappily.
Beside him, a fat man was sweating with a handkerchief. Although the temperature in Yumen sometimes reached 16 or 7 degrees during the day, it was winter after all, and he actually sweated so much in this weather. It is conceivable how psychological pressure the fat man had on the general in front of him was.
"This...humiliated...humiliated troops were carried out according to the training outline of the General Staff, and they would never be changed without authorization..." Looking at the boss's cold surface, the fat man hurriedly explained.
"It's a mess! I think it's better to use tanks as cannons to make more affordable. Can you beat your opponent by rushing blindly? People often say that Wu Ziyu is good at soldiers, but I think that's all." The general commented without hesitation, and several officers around him nodded repeatedly and tried their best to praise the immediate boss in front of him.
"Commander. Bei Zhi doesn't think so!" Who knew that a disharmonious voice suddenly came out in the crowd, and the scene was immediately calm, and everyone's eyes looked at the person who was talking.
The man who spoke was tall and handsome, but his expression was filled with a hint of perseverance and courage. His military rank was just a lieutenant colonel, which was particularly prominent among the crowd of stars.
The fat man was shocked when he saw the man talking. He quickly winked at the other party, and then scolded him before the superior scolded him: "Xue Boling, why are you talking nonsense? Don't think that you would be unfair after learning a few moves in the military academy. The commander was killed in the sea of blood. Don't you understand military affairs better than you?"
"Hmph...that's not necessarily..." Xue Yue shut up when scolded, but he was not convinced. He felt that suppressing people with military rank and qualifications was not a soldier's job, right. As the highest commander of the Northwest Military Region, you, Lu Jianzhang, is indeed a good player in leading troops to fight. He learned about this problem in the battle to encircle Bai Lang. Moreover, when Lu Jianzhang was in the capital, he was even more famous. He followed the previous president Yuan Shikai to fight south and north and made many contributions. But now is not the era of the past. The world's military is changing with each passing day, and using the old tricks to fight can't keep up with the pace of development.
"Haha. You have to let the young man say a few words, Jia Yuqian. This young man is your subordinate, right?" After being contradicted, Lu Jianzhang was not angry. Instead, he looked at Xue Yue's dissatisfied look and became interested. He smiled and asked the fat man just now, Jia Zongrang, the brigade commander of Xue Yue.
"If you go back to the commander, you are indeed a subordinate of a humble position. He is Xue Yue and Xue Boling, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 322nd Regiment. He graduated from the Central Military Academy. Commander Xue Boling is a talented student in the military academy. He is a good man in leading troops on weekdays, but he is very popular in his youth. He speaks in a brainless manner. Please forgive me..."
"Oh, I didn't expect it was your junior." Lu Jianzhang was amused when he heard this. Jia Zongrang was from the first phase of the Baoding Military Academy. The predecessor of the Central Military Academy was Baoding Military Academy. Speaking of which, Jia Zongrang and Xue Yue were indeed related to seniors and juniors. It seems that they had a good relationship with each other, otherwise Jia Zongrang's personality would not have protected this young man in front of him.
Jia Zongrang nodded awkwardly, turned around and winked at Xue Yue, signaling him to apologize to Lu Jianzhang as soon as possible. Although Xue Yue was nicknamed Tiger Crazy, he was not afraid of being stubborn on weekdays, but he was not a brainless person. He barely stepped forward and saluted Lu Jianzhang first. After putting down his hand, he said loudly: "Sorry Commander! Bei Zhi made a statement without the consent of the commander. Please punish the commander!"
Lu Jianzhang looked at Xue Yue up and down, suddenly laughed, pointed at the other party and turned his head to the officers behind him and smiled: "Look at it, this kid is not convinced, what do you say? He said he made a statement without authorization, what? He treated me as the Ministry of Justice? I care about your nonsense. Where is the military law in the army? "
"hehe……."
"hey-hey……."
Everyone laughed and only Jia Zongrang complained secretly. Xue Yue was really good. Isn’t it enough to pay a good gift? I have to play some text game. Is this Lu Jianzhang easy to mess with? The army general and commander of the Northwest Military Region. It’s as easy to deal with a small lieutenant colonel as if he were to kill an ant.
After laughing for a while, Lu Jianzhang waved to Xue Yue, and waited for the other party to come to him and asked, "Although the world gave me the name of Lu's 'Board', as a soldier, I am not an unreasonable person. Since you said that I was wrong just now, let's listen to your opinion, a talented military school student. I have agreed that there is a reward! I'm not right, hum, then don't blame me for being rude..."
In a blink of an eye, Lu Jianzhang, who was still kind-hearted a second ago, became murderous and murderous. His eyes were staring at Xue Yue coldly, and Jia Zong, who was standing aside, was so scared that he was sweating profusely.
Who knew that Xue Yue was not afraid at all and still stood upright. After Lu Jianzhang finished speaking, Xue Yue immediately replied: "Since the commander wants to speak humbly, then humbly will be bold today."
"Okay! Tell me!" Lu Jianzhang nodded. Although his eyes were still strict, he also had a little appreciation for this bold young man.
Faced with Lu Jianzhang, who was much higher than himself, Xue Yue was not timid at all. Instead, he immediately started talking about the war. He first talked about the war before the European War, including both foreign battles and domestic tactics. Afterwards, he gradually talked about the European War that had just ended, and various tactical characteristics from the early to the middle and late stages of the war were one by one, especially for position wars, wire mesh trench wars, etc., which mentioned the origin of the first use of tanks in the war in order to break through the German defense line.
Later, Xue Yue pointed out in light of the actual situation that after the automatic weapons were equipped with the army in large quantities, the war that used concentrated charge or even platoon fire was outdated, and it would be replaced by scattered combat and defensive combat methods, which has been confirmed in the European war. In response to the new combat methods, how to break through enemy positions and defense is an important means to win the war. It is very difficult to complete tasks with only relying on ordinary soldiers' charges and cannons, so the emergence of tanks is used as an assault.
Tanks have strong armor, powerful firepower, flexible and maneuverable mobility, coupled with artillery support and infantry coordination, which makes it extremely likely to break through the opponent's defense. Moreover, because of the characteristics of tanks, the troops can launch various tactics such as roundabout attacks, sieges, and severances behind the enemy after breaking through, turning their wars from a simple collision to a new situation.
Finally, Xue Yue said that the problem is not because of weapons, but because the training time is too short and the troops have not completed all training. As long as you wait for some time, it is not difficult to rely on the cooperation of a tank company and an infantry battalion in front of you, let alone a regiment in front, or even a brigade to tear the opponent apart.
"Haha, the tone is quite good. Do you dare to challenge a brigade with a few broken tanks and an infantry battalion?" Lu Jianzhang's beard curled up slightly, and he asked in a plain tone.
Xue Yue hesitated for a moment, and soon he replied: "Yes Commander!"
"Are you really sure?" Lu Jianzhang asked with interest.
Xue Yue straightened his chest and said, "Yes! But the commander, the premise is that the troops must meet the results of the training requirements, otherwise I will not be able to do it."
"Okay!" Lu Jianzhang raised the whip in his hand and turned around and pointed at the still messy training ground: "In this way, I will give you half a month to train your subordinates, and there will be no need for a brigade in half a month. As long as you can use this little force to fight against the two regiments head-on and win, I will reward you heavily! If not, haha, I won't punish you much, just give me a try to be a groom in the company!"
"Yes! Commander!" Xue Yue stood attentively and agreed immediately without thinking.
Then, Lu Jianzhang turned around and left, and several senior officers hurriedly followed him. In a blink of an eye, there were only a few people left on the bustling hills just now.
"I said you Boling, you... hey... what's the point of asking me! Is this Lu Tu Bo easy to mess with? What should I do if I can't do it?" Jia Zongrang deliberately hung up at the end, and waited for Lu Jianzhang to walk away and pulled Xue Yue aside, with a look of regret.
"Haha, Xue is remembered by Brother Yuqian's care, but please rest assured. Since I have taken over the question given by the commander, I will definitely be able to complete it!" Xue Yue replied with a smile without any nervousness.
