Yang Zhongde's arrival surprised the boss, but he waved his hand at him to sit down.
Then, he began to flip through the manuscript.
" Looking at the Japanese Army's Field Fortifications from the Annihilation of the Yamazaki Brigade and the Experience Our Army Can Learn from It ", the boss couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the title.
This brat! It had only been a few days, yet another shocking report had come to him.
The report analyzed the movements of the Yamazaki Battalion and basically came to the same conclusion as the General Staff.
Yamazaki's Japanese army had accidentally entered the hinterland of the base. This time, Zhou Weiguo's pistol battalion had made a great contribution.
They first discovered the Yamazaki Battalion and reported to the headquarters before they attacked the Munitions Factory.
This action disrupted the Yamazaki Brigade's plan. Yamazaki Haruhira had originally wanted to attack the Munitions Factory.
However, he quickly discovered that the Eighth Route had already mobilized their main forces to surround them.
Therefore, Yamazaki Zhihei wisely chose to retreat and fight while retreating to Guanjiapo.
Through the mortars and heavy machine guns, they guessed that the eight main forces were surrounding them. Under the situation where there was little hope of escaping the encirclement, they decisively chose to establish a position on the spot and call for support.
In just four hours, a complete field fortification was constructed.
Fortunately, the 386th Brigade made the right decision and the Independent Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment cooperated well.
With less than 200 casualties, the entire Yamazaki Battalion was wiped out.
However, this didn't conceal the outstanding defensive capabilities of the Yamazaki Battalion.
The General Staff had done a review of this, and the commander of the 386th Brigade had mentioned how much Yang Zhongde valued the Yamazaki Brigade.
In the beginning, the 386th Brigade had planned to let the 772nd Regiment, which was the main force, take over.
In the General Staff's review, the Yamazaki Battalion's field fortifications and the 772nd Regiment's combat habits had been analyzed.
Even if they lost more than half of their forces, they wouldn't be able to take down the Yamazaki Battalion's position in two hours.
Even if the Independent Regiment attacked, Li Yunlong would use civil engineering.
If Yang Zhongde's sniper support, the grenade launcher team of the New Second Regiment, and Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment were excluded, then they would be able to defeat the enemy.
In that case, they wouldn't be able to wipe out the Yamazaki Battalion within an hour. At most, they would be able to deal a heavy blow to the Yamazaki Battalion.
The loss of the independent regiment was at least 400 people.
Under Yang Zhongde's suggestion, the headquarters first went to observe the positions left behind by the Yamazaki Brigade.
The more he looked, the more shocked he became. The Japanese army's field fortification ratio reflected the extremely high quality of their middle and grassroots commanders.
The quality of the Japanese soldiers was also extremely strong. These field fortifications were obviously standard construction.
Even in a short four hours, it was enough to make our army suffer.
In the report submitted by Yang Zhongde, he first affirmed the advantages of the Japanese army's field fortifications and suggested that our army should learn and promote them.
Secondly, it talked about the Japanese army's tool, the engineer shovel, from the history of this tool to the analysis of its various uses.
Other than digging trenches and camping, one of the main uses of the shovel was combat!
The German writer, Erich, who had experienced World War I, specifically described the use of an engineering shovel in combat in " No War on the Western Front."
The book described the cruel trench warfare of World War I in large sections. The two sides confronted each other in the mud, and in order to compete for the control of the front line, they constantly engaged in fierce hand-to-hand fighting.
The book used the mouth of a veteran to explain the role of an engineer shovel:
"... Don't use your bayonet. It will get stuck in the enemy's ribs. When you pull it out, you will already be dead. You should use your shovel to hit his neck. Then, his head will move..."
The user could hold the handle of the shovel and use the strength of his arms and upper body to swing it to kill. Its killing effect was similar to that of a long-handled machete.
This kind of weapon that was not part of the system performed well in hand-to-hand combat, so much so that many countries, such as Germany, would use military shovels.
At the same time, he studied his fighting techniques, wrote them into teaching materials, and carried out relevant training in the army...
"This is the Japanese's shovel?”
The boss handed the manuscript to the chief of staff beside him and walked to Yang Zhongde with his hands behind his back. He looked at the Japanese shovel on the table.
"Yes, sir!"
Yang Zhongde stood at attention and looked straight ahead.”
As he spoke, he took out another report.
This was " In Combat Practice, a summary of the positioning and use of grenades ". It talked about the difference between offensive grenades and defensive grenades.
This report was much shorter. It only cited some battle examples and combined the actual combat effects of the eight routes.
In the end, he gave a reasonable suggestion. The boss finished reading the report in a few seconds.
"Where is it? You must have created it, right? Don't hide it from me."
Yang Zhongde smiled and said to the boss,"This thing is dangerous. How would I dare to bring it into the command center?! They're all outside!"
"You brat, stop pretending! There's also something that you, Yang Zhongde, don't dare to do?!”
Yang Zhongde's words made the boss laugh. He and Committee Member Li had watched this kid grow up almost from the moment he joined the army.
At that time, he was still a silly boy who was not even twenty years old. With his ruthlessness, he actually killed all fifty people from the county security team.
Old Li didn't believe it after hearing it and insisted on going to see it himself.
After reading it, Old Li immediately made a decision to introduce him to the organization.
This kid was quite hardworking. He read a lot of books with Old Li and learned everything quickly.
He was even a leader in war and was promoted to company commander not long after joining the army.
If he hadn't made so many mistakes later, he might have led his troops to the enemy's rear to establish a base.
In the eyes of the boss, Yang Zhongde was a child who would never grow up. He had a violent personality but was a good child.
He valued his principles more than anyone else, and he would never make a mistake.
However, this kid was also very clever. Before crossing the snow mountain, he had strongly requested to be the vanguard.
At that time, Old Li had also agreed, but this kid had lost his discipline.
He coaxed and deceived many of the local wealthy families. He said good things to them and asked them to buy food, clothes, yaks, mules, and so on.
By the time Old Li and the others discovered it, this kid had already cleaned up all the local big families.
Old Li was so angry that he almost killed him on the spot. In the end, he was only dismissed from his post and sent to the kitchen to take the blame.
However, when they crossed the snowy mountain and walked across the grassland, everyone understood the importance of Yang Zhongde's violation of discipline.
Later, the General Staff reviewed the entire Long March operation. If Yang Zhongde had not violated the discipline, the entire team would have lost at least one-third of its members.
Therefore, the bosses of the various departments doted on and resented this kid.
The brat would surprise you from time to time.
When he walked out of the command center, he saw Yang Zhongde take out a box.
" Bang!" The door was opened, and five MK2 defensive grenades were neatly placed inside.
"I made it myself! Isn't that great?"
