Chapter 230 Tank reinforcement

"Yes, this has always been the essence of my 111th Division's combat."

Blom, who attended the military meeting with him, then said.

"Snatching positions and killing the enemy is not what we need at this stage, but we need to find a way to divide and surround the enemy regardless of the cost, so as to create a favorable opportunity for the main force to annihilate the enemy in large numbers."

This suggestion was immediately endorsed by most of the German military advisers present.

"Each division immediately summons officers and soldiers with combat experience to form an assault team!" Zhang Zhizhong said without hesitation.

"Formulate the 'Iron Fist Plan', from now on, each department will complete the task unconditionally. Once the attack is frustrated, the headquarters will directly hold the commanders of each division, and the commanders will hold the brigade-level cadres accountable, and so on, unconditional favors can be said..."

As he said that, he paused for a moment, and his eyes fell on Zheng Yong again.

"Zheng Yong, the commander of the Sixth Army!"

"arrive!"

"Your 111th Division's mission is to capture eight island state military control strongholds, including the island state Naval Club, Naval Playground, Hujiang University."

A whisper rang below.

The commander was too ruthless on the 111th Division. A 111th Division had to take on the task of capturing eight strongholds. How would this battle be so tragic?

Zhang Zhizhong himself seemed to think the task was too heavy, so hesitated and said.

"Captain Zheng, an elite 111th Division's army and a national model, has a great responsibility this time. Before the reinforcements arrive, I have to hand over more combat tasks to you. In this way, should I draw a brigade of the 98th Division of the Sixth Army to you..."

"Thank you for your care, but the 98th Division is also responsible for defending the river defense. My 111th Division will complete the task independently."

Zheng Yong's somewhat arrogant words made a low scream in the conference room again, but Brom smiled as he listened to the translator, because before coming here, he had discussed with Zheng Yong in detail the combat tasks that the 111th Division might face and the corresponding response measures. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what was judged in advance.

"However, in order to successfully complete the task, please ask the commander to approve several requests from Zheng Yong."

"Tell me, as long as I can see you within the scope of my ability."

Zheng Yong said loudly without hesitation: "In order to ensure the successful completion of the attack, please bomb the eight strongholds with all efforts before our infantry launches the attack. At the same time, please allocate a unit of the Army Armored Corps recently reinforced to Shanghai to our division and cooperate with our division to launch an attack on the enemy."

"Yes, agree to all the above requests." Zhang Zhizhong nodded and said.

"I will call Du Yuming, the commander of the Armored Corps, and ask him to allocate half of the chariots to you. Are there any other requirements?"

"there is none left!"

In the loud answer, Zheng Yong was already very satisfied.

The Army Armored Corps, which was formed last year, is the Chairman's heart, just like its 111th Division, and is also the chairman's heart and will never be used easily.

The leader of other regiments is at most a colonel, but the leader of the armored regiment is a major general, and Du Yuming, the chairman's favorite general.

With air support and Butan cooperation, he has become somewhat sure to complete the mission.

Zhang Zhizhong raised his wrist and looked at the watch, and said.

"At 6:00 am on August 17, the second general attack officially began!"

When he returned to the Sixth Army headquarters, Du Yuming had been waiting in the army for a while.

"Brother Hengyuan, it's been a long time since." When Du Yuming came back, he met him, who had been an old friend in Nanjing, and grabbed Zheng Yong's hand intimately and said.

"I just arrived in Shanghai and were deploying troops. Commander Zhang's phone number arrived. When I heard that it was your brother Hengyuan who wanted a chariot, I didn't dare to neglect it, so I rushed here immediately."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Guangting."

While holding his old friend's hand, he looked out like a launch.

When Du Yuming saw Zheng Yong like this, he was a little ridiculous and sarcastic.

"Brother Hengyuan, the chariots you want cannot arrive so quickly. I came to your military headquarters alone, without even bringing a gun, and I didn't even drool when I came to your military headquarters. This is not a way to entertain guests."

Zheng Yong laughed, he was really too greedy.

He took Du Yuming's hand and sat down, ordered the orderly officer to get in tea: "Brother Guangting, how is the situation with the commissioner?"

"The commissioner is still the same, but his temper is not very good recently." Du Yuming looked outside and said in a low voice.

"The Commission is really ready to fight this time. Not only your division and the 87th and 88th German and equipment divisions, but also the 36th Division urgently transferred Shanghai from Xi'an to arrive soon. The Tax Police Corps also assigned the Ninth Army to join the war and defend Shanghai. The Commission is really investing heavily this time, and the most elite troops are all pulled out to fight..."

"If we can't fight this battle well, our heads will either be cut off by the islanders or be cut off by the commissioner. Brother, I am living like a year now." Zheng Yong touched his neck and sighed a long sigh.

Du Yuming smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"Your division is very beautiful. The 87th and 88th divisions are all troops that can fight tough battles, but they have not made any breakthroughs. Only your division is at the limelight. I just heard that Commander Zhang has put on a heavy burden on you again. If you continue to fight like this, the 111th Division will be very tight."

"If you are too tired, just eat tight." Zheng Yong smiled: "To be honest, the officers under my command have been crazy. Now let them keep a little bit, but I am afraid that no one will be willing. Once you say there is another task, you scream and you are about to rush forward..."

As he was talking, Tao Ping walked in and saw Du Yuming here. He was stunned for a moment, then he met with Chunfeng, shook hands with Du Yuming and sat aside.

"This time we arrived in Shanghai in advance, the second and fourth companies of the First Battalion of the Armored Corps. I will allocate all the Second Company to your 111th Division's combat chariot convoy, and you will be commanded by you." The general and the chief of staff arrived, and Du Yuming turned the topic to the point.

"Zang Junan, the company commander of the Second Company of the Tanks, is still very good at fighting. I have taken special care of him. From now on, he will not be my Du Yuming's soldier, but your 111th Division."

"Thank you, Brother Guangting." Zheng Yong said gratefully.

The 33-year-old general Du Yuming in front of him was a famous general who was determined to fight the enemy. After he served as the commander of the armored corps, he became a big expert from a layman in the shortest time.

"Training military personnel first, practicing officers first, practicing officers first, practicing themselves." This is Du Yuming's famous saying in military management.

Tao Ping said at this time.

"The arrival of the military captain, General Du, and the Armored Corps will greatly improve our army's strength, but there is a problem now that is very urgent to solve.

The issue of coordinated combat between infantry and combat vehicles does not pay much attention to this, except our divisions. The lack of cover from infantry can easily put the combat vehicles under direct attack from the enemy.

This was already obvious in the first general attack. The air force bombed the island national army's positions. This was originally the best time for infantry to attack, but when the bombing began, the troops had not even completed the attack preparations..."

"This problem is very complicated and cannot be solved in the short term. You must cooperate slowly as the battle deepens." Du Yuming's brows were locked tightly.

"How to coordinate the joint combat between chariots and infantry, and the coordination between chariots and artillery, all require drilling. Our infantry is not like your 111th Division, and we usually have a lot of training in this area."

Zheng Yong smiled bitterly. Not only the officers and soldiers, but even the German consultants seemed to have ignored this issue.

This has caused chariots that are often uncovered on the battlefield and become targets for the enemy...

After chatting for a while, a rumbling sound came from outside, and Du Yuming stood up with a smile.

"Brother Hengyuan, Chief of Staff Tao, what you want is here."

Fifteen German-made No. 1 tanks entered Zheng Yong's sight, and then a young major came to Zheng Yong.

"Zang Junan, the company commander of the Second Company of the First Battalion of the Armored Corps, was ordered to report!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Company Commander Zang." Zheng Yong returned a military salute.

Their own combat chariots are mainly Welsh tanks. The arrival of these powerful German-made No. 1 tanks will undoubtedly make the 111th Division more powerful.

German-made No. 1 tank is one of the world's advanced tanks owned by China, far exceeding the island-country Type 94 armored vehicle known as the "Little Bean Tank".

The German-made German-made No. 1 tank is much larger, and its power is almost twice that of the Island Army Type 94 light armored vehicles deployed in Shanghai. If the two meet, the No. 1 tank can completely knock the Type 94 light armored vehicle overturned or squeezed into a ditch without having to fire.

The German-made SMK steel-core armor-piercing bombs fired by the German-made No. 1 tank can penetrate the island-made "little bean tank" from any direction, or break through the island-made Type 89 medium tank from the side.

The armor thickness of German-made No. 1 tank is 7-13 mm, which can withstand the 6.5 mm machine gun of the "Little Bean Tank". In addition, the No. 1 tank also has a high-tech Fug2 radio station, which is far superior to the island tanks.

At this time, Liu Xiaolong also came here. Not long after he met Zang Junan, the two of them had already talked intimately about their own experiences.
