"Street fighting, in addition to testing the soldiers' reaction and coordination capabilities, the most important test is the continuous output and power of individual soldiers' firepower. My troops have achieved both of these two points," Zhao Zhiguo said.

Submachine guns and four-zero fire ensure the continuity of firepower and provide continuous firepower suppression to the enemy.

When the Japanese firepower was suppressed, they used artillery fire to destroy the Japanese firepower points.

In the end, everyone discovered that without powerful artillery fire and dense artillery shells falling, it would be unimaginable to attack the city.

After several hours of narration, many people secretly lamented the powerful firepower of the First Military Division and the strong combat literacy of the soldiers.

To be able to conquer Jinyang and regain the land around Jinyang, in addition to Zhao Zhiguo's ingenious layout, we also need firepower and soldiers with extremely high combat effectiveness.

These three aspects are indispensable!

"Surrounding the point for reinforcements, I think this tactic is good." The deputy commander-in-chief and the others were listening from behind.

"It's really good. We can surround the Japs' stronghold and ambush the Japanese reinforcements. On the way to the reinforcements, we can also make preparations in advance, such as choosing the terrain and laying mines. This can greatly reduce casualties." General Staff Officer

Long story.

"The most important thing is that we can seize the initiative on the battlefield. If we can defeat us, we can take the opportunity to eat the Japanese army. If we cannot defeat us, we can still choose to retreat."

The weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army and the quality of its soldiers cannot be compared with those of the Japs. Taking the initiative on the battlefield can avoid causing greater losses when making wrong judgments.

"It's not for nothing that this guy brought him to the headquarters." the chief of general staff said happily.

"I am sure that if the Japanese army attacks the defense area of ​​the First Army Division this time, they will definitely suffer a big loss."

"Perhaps our troops behind enemy lines will benefit most from this opportunity created by Zhao Zhiguo."

The Chief of General Staff believed that if the Japanese army assembled a large-scale force to attack Zhao Zhiguo, there would inevitably be a shortage of troops in the rear.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's logistics troops was worse than that of the regular troops.

By taking a bite out of the Japanese army's seven-inch target, their troops behind enemy lines would not only be able to obtain supplies, but also gain a broader space for development.

The deputy commander nodded: "It is a crisis but also an opportunity. When Zhao Zhiguo finishes speaking, call him over."

The two heads of the headquarters also realized that if they seize this opportunity, other units may usher in a wave of peak development.

After speaking for two and a half hours, and the officer below asking questions for more than an hour, the people in the yard gradually dispersed.

"Oh my god, this is much more tiring than fighting for a day and a night." Zhao Zhiguo sat directly on the stage.

At this time, three officers came forward, led by Staff Officer Xu who was waiting for Zhao Zhiguo outside the headquarters yesterday.

"Commander Zhao, have you mentioned our matter to the deputy commander in chief?"

"I mentioned it, but the chief didn't agree," Zhao Zhiguo said.

Upon hearing this result, the three people instantly became depressed and sighed.

"But there is good news for you." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"What's the good news?" The three people became energetic for a moment.

"The chief said that the frontline troops lack military commanders, and some people from the headquarters will be sent to the combat troops at any time."

As the army expands, all officers who have led troops in battles must go back to lead troops again.

"Really? Can a few of us go to the First Military Division?"

"Don't think about it. The commander has the final say on this matter. I don't count. So don't worry. I bet you that within half a year, you will have to lead the troops." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"That's fine, as long as we lead the troops to fight against the Japs, it doesn't matter where we go." Staff Officer Xu said, "How about we treat you to a meal? If one day we are really sent to the First Military Division, what will happen?

Commander Zhao needs to take more care of you."

"Forget the food, if I am really honored to lead you into battle to kill the enemy, I will definitely welcome you to our first military division." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Report to Commander Zhao, the deputy commander-in-chief asked you to go to the headquarters." A communications soldier issued an order.

"Okay, while you guys are chatting, I'll go over first."

Zhao Zhiguo stood up, moved his somewhat stiff limbs, and then came to the headquarters without stopping.

"Chief, please take a sip of your mouth!" Zhao Zhiguo said politely.

The deputy commander glanced at Zhao Zhiguo angrily: "You kid, don't you have any hands or feet?"

"Ask the deputy commander-in-chief to give you water. If the deputy commander-in-chief has not yet refused, you are the first one!" said the chief of general staff.

Other staff members in the headquarters also looked at this scene in surprise. They all knew the boss's temper. They didn't expect that Zhao Zhiguo could let the boss pour him water. This was really a scene that they would never see in eight lifetimes!

Zhao Zhiguo picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "The water the chief poured is sweet."

Hearing this, the deputy commander directly kicked Zhao Zhiguo in the butt: "How many times have I told you, stop patting the horses, and in front of so many people."

"Hey hey hey."

Zhao Zhiguo was just having fun and didn't realize how heavy the kick was.

"Zhao Zhiguo, we just listened to your lecture, and there is one thing that interests us very much. Let's go to the spot to help!" said the Chief of General Staff, "Can you explain it in more detail?"

"Well... I think time is very important, such as the time when the Japanese support troops arrive and the time when we end the battle." Zhao Zhiguo said, "The Japanese support is too fast or we end the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese reinforcements too slowly, which can easily change the scale of the battle.

big."

At present, the Eighth Route Army is not suitable for frequent large-scale battles with the Japanese army.

If a Japanese reinforcement is surrounded and the battle cannot be ended in a short time, other surrounding Japanese troops will inevitably arrive.

As time went on, both sides invested more and more troops. For the Eighth Route Army, which did not have much supplies, it was easy to become very passive in a large-scale battle.

"Well... this depends on evaluating the combat effectiveness of our troops and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army." The deputy commander nodded.

"However, I believe that the current overall combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is declining. The Japs fought all the way from the sea to Jiangcheng, and the veterans lost a lot. The combat effectiveness of the new recruits cannot keep up with the current combat needs of the Japanese commanders."

If the soldiers' fighting ability is not good enough, a battle that can be ended in one hour will be delayed to two hours.

One minute on the battlefield can determine the life or death of thousands or tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, when the combat effectiveness of soldiers does not meet the requirements, it will affect the commander's decision-making.

"Do you think we can use this method boldly?" the chief of general staff asked.

"Yes, as long as we grasp the time well, even if we can't destroy the Japs, we can choose to retreat on our own initiative. If it doesn't work once, we can do it twice."

With the initiative in hand, they could attack the Japanese army at any time and anywhere.
