    Yang Zhen's answer left the two veterans speechless at the same time. They have been so generous. It can be said that they get whatever they ask for. Air support that they had never dared to imagine before is now available. They also promised to provide support from Wang, who is currently fighting fiercely.  Guangyu's headquarters dispatched a group of ground artillery to support them, and even took out their belongings. What else could the two old commanders say?

    The number of enemy troops over there is greater, and their combat effectiveness and equipment are not comparable to the Japanese troops of independent garrison type that they face. If it is really necessary to mobilize artillery from Wang Guangyu to support the battle here, then within the pass  The army is called Big Brother for nothing.

    The two veterans looked at each other and pondered carefully. After a brief consideration, the two veterans felt that if they concentrated their firepower and used their tactics properly, there would be no major mistakes and the enemy's situation would not be huge.  With the changes, it is not completely impossible to defeat the Japanese independent ninth garrison in front of us within three days, but this has a prerequisite, and that is the proper use of tactics.

    It's just that our troops know this number of casualties. It's not yet known whether the sea of ??fire can be used properly. However, the attack tactics of this unit are probably still the same. The long-term combat environment without fire support has allowed the troops to develop a unique  combat mode, but this combat mode is usually measured by the number of casualties when equipment is scarce.

    However, when the equipment gap is too large, this combat mode is usually very effective although the casualties are not light. And this combat mode has been deeply rooted in the minds of cadres at all levels, and it will not be possible in a short time.  Change is of course the only option for a long time.

    The combat mode of an army on the battlefield is developed through long-term combat, and this combat mode that has long been accustomed to cannot be easily changed in a short period of time, especially the attack method. Over the years, in order to make up for it,  Due to the lack of firepower and individual combat capabilities, the idea of ????only launching a group charge cannot be changed in a short time.

    In last year's Hundred Regiment Battle, the reason why the losses in the Guanjianao Battle were so great was because the troops adopted this attack method and suffered heavy casualties under the attack of Japanese ground and air firepower. They paid more than 2,000 casualties, but  There was no single brigade that could finally annihilate the Japanese army.

    Although the lack of effective supporting firepower, especially the lack of supporting artillery fire, and the inability of the attacking troops to suppress the Japanese firepower was an important reason, it was the improper selection of the attack mode during the battle that caused such a large number of casualties.  main reason.

    The Japanese army said that the Guan Nei troops' charge was a human wave tactic. This was not wrong, but it was a helpless choice due to the lack of supporting firepower, especially the lack of artillery fire. Guan Jianao lost the battle for this reason.  As a result, coupled with the restrictions of the terrain, the attacking troops paid dozens of times the casualty price and failed to annihilate a detachment organized by a Japanese army. In that battle, both the entire troops of the 129th Division participating in the battle and those in charge of the command were  Commanders at all levels are unforgettable.

    As for the equipment now available, it is still too difficult to change this tactical pattern in a short period of time. After the troops are changed, the training time is too short, and most cadres at all levels have not received infantry-artillery cooperative combat training.  , in combat, this combat mode with heavy casualties will still be their first choice.

    The price paid for this kind of charge will not be a small number, and it is precisely this combat mode that is currently used the most by the advancing army in offensive battles. It is for this reason that the two veterans will  They don't want to rush for success and repeat the mistakes of the Guanjianao War. They still want to use tactical deployment to gradually open the distance between the Japanese and puppet troops and look for fighter opportunities in the movement.

    Although from the bottom of his heart, this battle-hardened commander is most reluctant to fight this kind of battle, this battle is an inevitable head-on confrontation with an army like the Japanese army.  The old commander, who was still a little distressed at the cost, knew that at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and nod. This was not because of anything else, but because he also knew that this was the need of the entire war situation.

    After thinking for a while, the commander said: "You have said so, what else can we two old guys say? In one sentence, go all out. As for Wang Guangyu's artillery, we still don't need it for the time being. They have  The pressure is much greater than ours, so let¡¯s leave it to them. Your order to defeat the 23rd Division within three days will probably put a lot of pressure on them.¡±

    "With your help, we currently have artillery regiments directly under each column, mountain artillery battalions, infantry artillery and rapid-fire artillery batteries in the brigade, and mortar companies in the regiment. In addition to these artillery units, the headquarters also directly controls several  There is an independent artillery regiment, and the number of artillery shells is quite sufficient. It is enough to defeat the more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops  "

    Regarding the old leader's answer, Yang Zhen smiled and was about to say something. Since the three of them were studying the situation of the entire Northeast battlefield, Li Mingbo, who had been on guard at the periphery, interrupted Yang Zhen's words with a distant report:  "On the 1st, the transport fleet has arrived. They are now asking for permission to start the airborne landing."

    After hearing Li Mingbo's report, Yang Zhen nodded and agreed to start airborne immediately. He put away the map in his hand, turned around and took out two American-made high-power telescopes from the staff beside him, and handed them to the two veterans:  "Two old chiefs, this is the gift I brought to you."

    "Although there is still a slight gap between the optical performance of the American-made telescope and the German-made Zeiss telescope, the gap is not very obvious, and at least the magnification is much greater than that of the two old chiefs. Use this telescope to observe  You will be more careful and you will be able to see more clearly.¡±

    Regarding the two high-power telescopes that Yang Zhen handed over, the two old men who were used to this guy coming up with new tricks from time to time and showing their generosity in front of him were not polite to him and took the telescopes to look at the sky.  Go, in the eyes of the two old coaches, if you are polite to him now, it will look stingy.

    If you don¡¯t fight this local tycoon, who will fight? The six-power German-made Zeiss telescope in the hands of the two veterans is a captured German product from the First World War. Due to the long use time and lack of effective maintenance conditions, there have been many cases.  The problem is that it has been used only because of the lack of effective alternatives.

    The two American-made eight-power telescopes that Yang Zhen handed over are indeed somewhat different from the German ones in terms of performance, but they are much better than the two he originally used. For combat command, the importance of telescopes is no less important than military maps.  , having a good telescope will be quite convenient in command.

    However, when the twinkling lights of the transport plane crossed the night sky, the two old commanders who raised their binoculars to look at the sky did not see any umbrella flowers. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the advancing troops did not have high-power weapons.  The air searchlight, without the huge parachute guidance, naturally cannot see where the paratroopers picked out from the cabin are.

    The flashing lights told the ground transport plane that it had flown back and forth several times over this open space, which was not long and not wide enough. However, the two veterans did not see any paratroopers, only more than twenty tied up.  The big parachute box is descending leisurely and leisurely in the sky.

    In addition to these more than twenty large boxes, the two old commanders and a company of the advancing army headquarters security regiment on the ground were on guard duty, and all the people waiting to see what the person who jumped from the sky would look like, his neck  I was so sad but didn't see anything.

    Looking at the suspicious eyes of the two veterans, Yang Zhen smiled and shook his head and said: "This is a parachuting method specially trained by our directly affiliated reconnaissance brigade. This parachuting method involves jumping from an altitude of more than a thousand meters.  Open the parachute when it is more than 100 meters away from the ground. This can effectively avoid staying in the air for too long and reduce the probability of parachuting personnel being killed by ground fire. "

    "And the higher the transport plane flies, the easier it is to avoid anti-aircraft fire from the ground. You know, paratroopers are hung by parachutes in the air, and their weapons cannot be taken off. They have no power to fight back. They can only stand firm in the face of ground firepower.  Now, whether you can make it to the ground alive depends on your fate.

    "Using this method of parachuting, you can use the body's own weight to speed up the descent and reduce the time in the air as much as possible. It can also prevent the paratroopers from being blown too far by the wind, which is not conducive to the rapid concentration of troops. The higher the distance from the ground, the faster the wind speed.  The larger it is, the larger the area it will be blown by the wind during airdrop.¡±

    "Compared to scattered paratroopers, it is more fatal for a transport plane to be hit by ground anti-aircraft artillery before airborne. When a transport plane was shot down, dozens of paratroopers were lost. In order to reduce the loss as much as possible, we specially trained this  A way of skydiving, which we call high jump and low jump.¡±

    "But here, this method is not adopted because of the threat of ground fire. There are mountainous areas around here, and apart from these car headlights and ground fire, there is no navigation system or lighting system. The transport plane flies higher.  It can reduce the risk of crashing into mountains.¡±

    "When we arrived, my operational staff estimated that the surrounding mountains were about one thousand meters above sea level, and the highest mountain peak was about one thousand two hundred meters above sea level. Therefore, the altitude chosen by the transport plane for airdrop was also about one thousand meters.  At this altitude, it is more appropriate to adopt this airborne method.

    In response to Yang Zhen's explanation, the two veterans put down their telescopes in unison, looked at him with a strange expression, and then raised the telescopes again. As Yang Zhen said, this time they finally saw a large number of parachutes floating in the sky.  In the sky, although it is still difficult to see clearly due to the color of the skyWhat exactly is hanging underneath Chu, but judging from its size, there is no doubt that it is a human.

    The height at which the parachute opens is, as Yang Zhen said, only more than a hundred meters above the ground. Seeing this, the two veterans both sweated for these paratroopers. If they were to parachute at this height, it would be impossible.  If the parachute opens a little late, the person will fall to the ground like a stone. This method of training and actual combat does have its own advantages, but it always makes the two veterans feel that their butts are dancing on the tip of the knife.  a feeling of.

    It was the first time for the two veterans to see such a situation. They had been worried since they saw the people under the parachutes. It was not until everyone landed safely and assembled in the shortest time that the situation was complete.  It was the first time they had seen what a real paratrooper looked like, and the first time they had seen what a real airborne landing looked like.

    It was an eye-opener for the two marshals this time, but the young guy, after arriving in Rehe, continued to play strange things, which made the two marshals somewhat numb, so for these paratroopers  Although they showed some curiosity when they arrived, in a word, they were already numb.
