In modern warfare, if anyone dares to say that he uses one regiment of his own to fight an army of the enemy, he must be crazy. However, this situation also occurred during the first agrarian revolutionary war, that is, a regiment of the Red Army was ordered to block an enemy several times its own, but this situation was a last resort.
Why? The tactical guiding ideology of our army is to concentrate superior forces to fight the enemy, and in the case of asymmetric or even equal strength, we may not be able to fight this battle. However, "no reinforcements, I will fight him one army per regiment", which really happened during the Liberation War.
At that time, the New Sixth Army of the Kuomintang Army had just been transferred to the northeast battlefield, and this unit, which was trained by the United States in India, fought the Japanese army in the Indian and Burmese regions. Their equipment, all of them are beautified and mechanized equipment, and the commander of the army, Liao Yaoxiang, has considerable command ability, and the books he wrote such as "Tactics of Small Troops," "Tactics of Forest Warfare," and "Battles in Towns and Villages" are very valuable.
When the New Sixth Army first arrived in the northeast, the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, which was still called the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army at that time, had not yet been integrated, and its combat effectiveness was not strong, and moreover, the main force was in the area north of Changchun and in the Liaoning region, and only the fourth column, which had just been integrated with local armed forces and established for less than four months, had advanced all the way to Shaling Village south of the LiaoHe River.
In this regard, Wu Kehua, commander of the Fourth Column of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, and Hu Qicai, deputy commander, were very annoyed; you must know that these two men, both of whom were generals, had suffered from this kind of nesting, so they gathered the strength of seven regiments and prepared to fight the 66th Regiment of the 22nd Division of the New Sixth Army, which was advancing alone.
The reason why the 66th Regiment of the 22nd Division of the New Sixth Army dared to venture forward alone was because their weapons and equipment were good; second, the officers and men of the regiment were all veterans of the expeditionary force and had rich combat experience; third, the 22nd Division, which was brought out by Liao Yaoxiang, was brought out by Liao Yaoxiang. Therefore, they faced the attack of seven regiments in four columns, and the commander of the 66th regiment, in the walkie-talkie, arrogantly said to his division commander, "Division commander, no reinforcements, I will beat him one army per regiment, no problem." As a result, the four columns and seven regiments fought this regiment, not only did not achieve the expected target, but suffered more than 2,000 casualties, which made Lin Zong quite angry, and the commander Wu Kehua was severely criticized.
