As usual, the Independent Regiment will hold a summary meeting after each battle. This is also a consistent tradition that the Communist Party of China has adhered to since the Red Army period.
It is undoubtedly very important for an army to summarize experience and lessons. Good experiences that emerge in battle can be inherited and promoted, while some shortcomings can be made up for through mutual exchanges, so that over time the shortcomings will be eliminated. Slowly decreasing, the strengths will gradually increase, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will naturally increase.
However, the battle summary should not be a formal meeting. It should be held at different levels. First, the regiment commander and political commissar convene the battalion and company-level commanders and fighters to conduct a tactical summary. The main purpose is to review the gains and losses of the tactics used in the battle, such as infantry and artillery coordination, such as the coordination between each battalion and company. The mutual cooperation between them is a matter that belongs to the commanders and combatants.
After the tactical summary is completed, the battalion and company-level commanders and fighters return to their respective combat units and gather the squad and platoon-level backbones to summarize the tactics. The tactics summary is more specific, such as the construction and taboos of machine gun fire points, such as the use of flanking fire. , another example is the alternating cover between squads during a platoon-level advance.
Finally, the platoon-level combat backbones returned to their respective units and summoned their soldiers to summarize combat experience. This summary and exchange was about individual combat skills. It was mainly the veterans who taught and instilled in the new recruits, such as stabbing skills. You must not Rushing to attack when the center of gravity is not stable, such as the essentials of shooting, the mood should not fluctuate at the moment of pulling the trigger, etc.
Now that the battle has just ended, the first thing to do is of course the tactical summary meeting of the battalion and company level commanders and fighters.
Although Xu Rui and Wang Husheng hadn't arrived yet, the atmosphere in the underground conference room was already extremely lively.
"Old He, did your 1st Battalion do well this time?"
"It's just average. I only killed one Japanese squadron. It's incomparable to the 3rd Battalion."
"Little demon, I heard that you monks were chased like rabbits by the little devils. Is this the case?"
"You're just being chased like a rabbit by the little Japs. We call it luring the enemy. Do you know that luring the enemy?"
"Veteran, your special forces team stole the show this time. In the final attack on Xiaoli Village, I heard that your special forces team killed more Japanese than the five hundred brothers in the 3rd Battalion combined?"
"No way, those Japs were killed by our special forces. They were all killed by Lao Niu's artillery, okay? Our special forces and the 3rd Battalion hardly contributed much, just to make up for the damage."
"Huang Xiaocai, that's good. Your 3rd Battalion performed really well this time."
"I'm warning you, don't call me Huang Xiaocai again, I'm not a rich man."
"Mei Xiucai, I heard that you picked up a saber, or a sergeant's sword. Let me take a look at it?"
"What do you mean by picking it up? I captured it, okay? I captured it from a Japanese colonel."
"But how did I hear that the Japanese commander was already dead when you found him?"
"That was also the one I killed. Anyway, I captured the saber."
More than a dozen battalion company commanders were teasing each other there, and the atmosphere was very lively.
When Niu Dazhuang and Qiao Dun walked into the conference room, they were immediately cheered like heroes by more than a dozen battalion commanders and company commanders.
The reason why this battle at Xiaolizhuang was a complete victory and the reason why a large group of Japanese soldiers were able to be killed cleanly and neatly was Niu Dazhuang's machine gun battery. It can be said that Niu Dazhuang's machine gun company took the greatest credit. If it hadn't been for the machine gun company's intensive artillery fire that blew up the little Japanese army Even if the special forces and the 3rd Battalion were able to capture Xiaoli Village in the end, the casualties would be much greater than they are now!
What's more, if there is no machine gun battery, it is difficult to say whether the special forces and the 3rd Battalion can capture Xiaoli Village before Japanese reinforcements arrive.
Because the machine gun company had the greatest credit this time, Xu Ruite allowed Niu Dazhuang to bring a platoon leader to participate in this tactical review. Niu Dazhuang brought Qiao Dun, the platoon leader of the heavy machine gun platoon.
More than a dozen battalion and company commanders in the conference room stood up one after another and came forward to greet Niu Dazhuang and Qiao Dun enthusiastically.
"Old Niu, you are quite good. You have trained your artillery to be so good without saying a word. That little cannon can hit anywhere within two thousand meters. It is no worse than the little devil!"
"That's right, do you know who our Brother Niu's father is?"
"Who is it? Why haven't I heard that Lao Niu has a father?"
"Nonsense, if Brother Niu doesn't have a father, how could his mother give birth to him? Is it with a god?"
"Fairy? Could it be that Lao Niu's father is the Bull Demon King? No wonder Lao Niu is so awesome."
"Lao Niu's father is the Bull Demon King? Then his mother is not Princess Iron Fan? Is he Red Boy?"
"Hey, don't tell me, if Lao Niu wears a bellyband, it really looks like that. So, whoever, hurry up and borrow a bellyband from Yanzi, put it on Lao Niu and show it to everyone."
It's always like this when a group of grown men get together, and they talk about the relationship between a man and a woman.
"Sister Yanzi's bellyband cannot be borrowed casually. You must obtain the consent of the veteran."
"Fuck you, stop making fun of me, or else I'll be in a hurry with you."
"Look, look, veteran, I'm worried. I said you can't borrow Sister Yanzi's bellyband, but seriously, veteran, what color is Sister Yanzi's bellyband?"
Leng Tiefeng didn't know what was going on in his head, so he casually replied: "Then can I tell you?"
Heipi was the worst. Even though he had already seen Xiao Yanyue walking in from the door of the conference room, he still teased Leng Tiefeng and said, "Soldier, just brag about it right there. It's as if you have actually seen Sister Yanzi's bellyband."
"Blow?" Leng Tiefeng's brain continued to twitch, and he said happily, "I really don't blow, I have actually seen it before."
Leng Tiefeng was usually cold-faced, but today he didn't know what was wrong, and he actually learned to joke.
"Then tell me, what color is it?" A crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind Leng Tiefeng.
"What other color could it be? It's red. It's so bright red, it's just like..." Halfway through, Leng Tiefeng suddenly realized, Ni Mei, wasn't it Yanzi who asked the question just now? At that moment, he turned around mechanically and saw Xiao Yanyue standing behind him with a smile. Looking at the smile on Xiao Yanyue's pretty face, Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but shudder.
"Well, it's a bit stuffy here. Let me go out and get some fresh air." After Leng Tiefeng said that, he ran away, leaving behind a large group of battalion commanders and company commanders laughing loudly, but Xiao Yanyue was not angry either. .
(Dividing line)
The laughter from the conference room outside spread into the inner room without any obstruction.
The back room of the conference room is Xu Rui's public room. At this moment, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng are having a small meeting behind closed doors.
Unlike the enthusiastic expressions of the battalion and company commanders outside, the atmosphere inside was slightly different, even a little solemn.
Wang Husheng advised: "Old Xu, no matter what, we won a big victory this time. One guy wiped out the Japanese and an infantry brigade. This is a good thing, worthy of celebration, and you should be happy."
"It's nothing to celebrate, I'm so happy." Xu Rui said angrily, "Take a look at this first."
"What?" Wang Husheng was confused and took the note from Xu Rui's hand, but it was a list. It was a list of the weapons and ammunition consumed in this battle at Xiaoli Village. Xiao Yanyue had always been responsible for the logistics of the independent regiment. In charge, the political commissar Wang Husheng rarely interfered with logistics matters, so he didn't know it until he saw it, but he was shocked when he saw it.
"My dear, did you consume so much ammunition?" Wang Husheng was really surprised.
In this battle at Xiaolizhuang, the independent regiment consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition, especially Niu Dazhuang's machine gun battery, which consumed more than 2,000 shells in total, as well as various firearms. After the war, statistics showed that a total of 500 guns were damaged. There are remaining branches, and at least two hundred of them are irreparable.
Xu Rui sighed: "If more than two thousand artillery shells hadn't been dropped, could the little Japanese be stunned? How could Xiaoli Village be captured so easily? You can only dream."
This time in the Xiaoli Village battle, Xu Rui really spent a lot of money.
Normally, the little devil's artillery preparations only involve one base at a time.
But this time the cannon battery's bombardment of Xiaoli Village hit a full 6 bases! The shelling lasted for nearly half an hour, and by the end, even the mortar barrels were red.
"That's okay." Wang Husheng said with a smile, "Didn't we grab a large amount of supplies from the Japanese?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "We grabbed a lot of supplies from the devils, but not much of them can be used. Those gasoline, diesel and large-caliber artillery shells are basically useless. The ammunition that can be used is separated. A large part of it was given to the 18o Division, and Yanzi has clearly told me that if there are another battle like Xiaolizhuang, after three times our independent regiment will resort to an empty city strategy."
Wang Husheng also sighed and said: "This is the disadvantage of not having an arsenal. If we had an arsenal, would we be afraid of not having bullets or cannonballs? We can have as many as we want."
"We can't count on the arsenal at the moment. How can we repulse the little devil's raid first?" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Now, we really should put together a plan for the next battle. Why did you fight?"
Wang Husheng said nothing more. He knew that Xu Rui's "total and total" was just casual talk. When it came to fighting, we still had to rely on Xu Rui as the regiment leader. He, as the political commissar, could only help so much.
After thinking about it, Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, why don't we call everyone in and discuss it together?"
"Don't defeat their joy first." Xu Rui said, "We just won a big victory, let's make them happy first."
"That's fine." Wang Husheng said, "But since the two of us don't go out, they might think too much about it. How about we go out and hold a tactical summary meeting with them first?"
"Old Wang, go ahead, I won't go." Xu Rui said, holding his stomach, "Just say I have a stomachache, and I won't participate in today's summary meeting."
"Stomach hurts?" Wang Husheng asked, "Why don't you say your balls hurt?"
"My balls hurt?" Xu Rui touched both balls in a serious manner and said, "That's okay, just say my balls hurt."
"I'll go, you really said it." Wang Husheng almost fainted. (To be continued.)
