Chapter 0258 The Battle of Changshu - It's about to break out!

The Dragon Boat Festival has reached its extreme for the patience of Japanese spies, but he has no time at all to launch a special operation against Japanese spies.

He had just sent off the Kong family and received the news from Chen Yong.

The vanguard troops of the 30th Brigade of the Japanese army have broken through the outer defense line in Changshu and approached Changde. They are less than five kilometers away from Changde.

In other words, the battle in Changshu is about to break out.

Dragon Boat Festival quickly arrived at the East City Gate and climbed to the city wall that was nearly twenty meters high.

At this time, Chen Yong, Xiao Commander and Cheng Wanli had arrived.

The knife next to him handed over the telescope to Dragon Boat Festival.

Holding a telescope in the Dragon Boat Festival, looking at the Japanese army that were crowded in the distance and were advancing forward quickly, it was obvious that the Japanese had at least one squadron of troops.

The Japanese took arrogant steps and did not take the Chinese soldiers seriously in their hunched eyes.

"How many defenders are there near Changshu?"

Dragon Boat Festival asked Chen Yong on the side.

Chen Yong said: "Three regiments, one regiment is in the city, and the other two regiments defend on the left and right high ground. Otherwise, everyone retreats into the city, and Changshu will become an isolated city, and we will have no way out."

Duan Duan nodded and said, "As a defense, this arrangement can be said to be very good. Heavy troops protect their left and right wings. No matter where the Japanese attacks, our troops can provide support."

Chen Yong smiled and said, "This is all the credit of Staff Xiao!"

Chief Xiao said modestly: "Where, where. These are the results of my discussion with the teacher."

Dragon Boat Festival sneered: "Do you think I'm praising you? There are loopholes."

Officer Xiao said in surprise: "There are loopholes? What loopholes?"

Chen Yong said dissatisfiedly: "Commissioner, I, Chen, don't agree with you when you say that. Chief Xiao's defensive arrangement is very perfect. If there is enough ammunition, let alone guarding for two days, even ten or eight days, the Japanese will never think of crossing the line."

Chen Yong said very confidently. But at this time, Dragon Boat Festival smiled and said, "Your defensive tactics are very outdated. Your seemingly perfect defensive tactics are just fighting for consumption with your enemies.

But the enemy only consumes ammunition, while we consume a large number of soldiers' lives. And meaningless casualties."

"This, how is this possible?"

Staff Xiao couldn't believe it and looked shocked.

Chen Yong was also frowning, not believing that their tactics were just unnecessary losses and consumption.

At this time, Dragon Boat Festival asked: "How long can the fortifications outside the city last under the Japanese 150mm cannon?

I just borrowed a telescope and looked at it. The deepest part of your trench is only about two meters.

Such a trench cannon cannon cannon be razed to the ground with a 150mm cannon from the Japanese army.

Look again, look at your defense line. At the front of the position, at least one battalion of troops was arranged. What's wrong with letting the soldiers die?

As long as it is a howitzer above 100 mm or rapid fire with cannons, it can cause heavy casualties in our army.

Moreover, the Japanese not only have cannons, they also have planes. If the bomber bombs the soldiers on the left and right wings of Changshu, then the soldiers outside the city will be reduced to cannon fodder."

The words of Dragon Boat Festival left Chen Yong and Staff Xiao speechless. After all, Dragon Boat Festival is a fact.

Of course, the helplessness of General Manager Xiao and Chen Yong is also a fact. Because if no one guarded the positions on the left and right wings, the Japanese army would siege the city. At that time, the 44th Division had no way out.

Staff Xiao naturally argued with reason. He said: Although there will be casualties like this, it can ensure that we have a way out. Once these soldiers are withdrawn, I think our Changshu defenders really have no way out. And on the front battlefield, we fight like this.

"So what? Are there great casualties?"

When asked by Dragon Boat Festival, Staff Xiao and Chen Yong were speechless again. Because indeed, both the Battle of Shanghai and the recent war reports all indicate that although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses many times, the number of casualties was the Chinese soldiers.

Many of them, without even seeing the Japanese, were killed on the positions by enemy shells and aviation bombs.

When the Chinese Air Force was fighting against the Japanese Air Force, it was as powerless as a baby.

After the Chinese soldiers lost air supremacy, the infantry did not have enough air force to cover them. And the Chinese artillery was also exposed to the wings of Japanese fighter jets.

Of course, this cannot be a reason for defeat. Because avoiding one's strengths and attacking one's weaknesses is the key to winning.

However, the Japanese seem to have no shortcomings in their decades of planning.

They not only have the advantages of heavy weapons, shooting and fighting, but also have the advantages of controlling air and sea control. At the beginning of the war, they caused great casualties to the Chinese army.

So some Chinese soldiers are afraid, while others are still defending themselves step by step.

This traditional idea and tactic will kill many people.

For example, the construction of the Changshu defense system should actually be based on the frontal battlefield where both sides are in a heavy weapon and air force.

But the 44th Division did not have the air force and could not count on it at all. At this time, the one who could call for air support would definitely not be a small place like Changshu.

As for artillery fire, the 44th Division only has four howitzers with a caliber of more than 100 mm. The caliber of 100 mm and the various mountain cannons below were only about twenty artillery guns.

These artillery ranges vary in size, making it difficult to effectively kill and cover the enemy with artillery fire.

In addition, the bombing of the arsenal in Changshu made the 44th Division even worse.

At this time, Chen Yong and Staff Xiao looked at the Dragon Boat Festival together. In addition to being indignant, they wanted to see what the young officer in front of them had to reverse this unfavorable situation.

Dragon Boat Festival said: "The current situation of war is very unfavorable to us. The enemy has a large number of artillery guns, and their artillery is not only accurate than our artillery guns, but also more powerful than our artillery guns.

With the Japanese air support, even if we can really repel the Japanese army, there are probably not many people left in the entire 44th Division.

Therefore, it is urgent to change the inherent combat ideas and fight with the Japanese army in order to turn the advantages of the Japanese army into disadvantages.

Because even if the Japanese are really crazy, they won’t even blow up their own people, right?”

Chen Yong retorted: "Commissioner? Your combat ideas are too ideal, right? You are talking about lightweight and cross-fighting with the Japanese army. Let's not talk about whether our shooting and fighting skills can beat the Japanese. Just talk about how to cross-fighting? How can we rush to the Japanese?
