Chapter 217: Talking
Leaving the flight base, Li Hong rushed directly to Wei Boru's camp office.
He knocked on the door outside, shouted a report, pushed the door and walked in.
"Li Hong, are you here?"
Wei Boru raised his head and glanced at Li Hong who came in, and put down the pen and documents in his hand.
"Don't be inhibited, just sit down."
"Yes, Chief Guard."
Li Hong saluted and sat down on the sofa next to him.
Immediately, Wei Boru asked the secretary to pour two cups of tea, and he sat opposite Li Hong very casually.
Wei Boru didn't talk to Li Hong about anything, and he quickly asked about the Wuqiaoling ambush.
"Li Hong, you are really hardened now, organizing such a big ambush battle, not even saying hello to the war zone, after all, this is Shanxi, or Chief Yan has the final say, if it weren't for me and Ting Xiaoli to protect you, you wouldn't be able to eat and walk around."
Wei Boru only reminded Li Hong, and did not mean to delve into accountability.
If this battle had not been fought well, Li Hong would definitely have to go to the Judge Advocate General's Office to squat for a few days.
"Chief Wei, what do the other theater commanders mean is that they don't plan to pursue their lowly positions and responsibilities without asking for instructions? Hey, hey, hey......"
Li Hong smiled disapprerovingly, picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea.
Although it is said that in special circumstances, the independent combat unit can take the initiative to attack, but as a commander, he is very annoyed by his subordinates' behavior of ignoring his superior.
Wei Boru pointed at Li Hong with his finger, and said in an educated tone: "Li Hong, thanks to your kid's smile, you mobilized troops without authorization, if your defense area is taken advantage of by the Japanese army, I, Wei Boru, will not be able to protect you, and it will be less than ten times to shoot you." ”
The two of them slowly sipped tea while talking about the operational details of the Wuqiaoling ambush.
Wei Boru greatly appreciated Li Hong's ability to seize the fighter plane and take the initiative to attack, and of course, he did not say anything less about criticizing Li Hong.
"Chief Wei, the Wuqiaoling ambush is a matter of great importance, and the lowly position mobilized the troops without asking for instructions from the war zone, in fact, the lowly position is worried about the intelligence ......."
Wei Boru heard the meaning of Li Hong's words, he put down the teacup and said: "Li Hong, say everything you want to say, there are no outsiders here." ”
Li Hong didn't beat around the bush either, and said bluntly: "Chief Wei, with all due respect, the last time you and Chief Chen were attacked, I felt that something was wrong. In addition, from the Battle of Xinkou to the Battle of Taiyuan, our operational intelligence has been repeatedly cracked by the Japanese army, and these are by no means accidental......"
After listening to Li Hong's analysis, Wei Boru couldn't help frowning, and there was a trace of worry in his cold expression.
"Li Hong, are you suspecting that someone within us has deliberately leaked intelligence information?"
Li Hong said noncommittally: "I don't dare to assert it, but the Japanese army has grasped our information too quickly, and as soon as the operational telegram in the theater is sent, the Japanese army will immediately know about it, and it is very likely that there are traitors in the Japanese army hidden in our interior." ”
Wei Boru was silent for a moment, and said rigorously: "Before, Ting Xiao suspected that there was a traitor in the war zone, and I also sent someone to screen the intelligence investigation department and the confidential department, and I didn't find out anything about the Japanese spies. ”
Li Hong just guessed, and there was no evidence, since Wei Boru had already sent someone to investigate, the information might have leaked out from other channels.
They talked for a while, and then Wei Boru led Li Hong out of the office.
"Li Hong, you come with me."
The two left and went to the operational research command room together.
The battalion's operational research command room is very large, with a long conference table in the middle, two sand table simulation maps placed by the window, and more than a dozen officers are studying around the sand table and the map.
Entering the war room, Li Hong saluted Chen Tingxiao and several generals.
"Hello Chief Chen, hello chiefs."
A lieutenant general wearing the uniform of the Central Army glanced at Li Hong and said with a smile: "Commander Li, you have become famous recently, the whole theater knows that your regiment Li is famous, Wuqiaoling is a great victory, and the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army has been completely annihilated, and even the principal applauded when he read the telegram, this is a model for our army!" ”
Xiao Yuehua, the lieutenant general who spoke, was the director of the war room, and he specialized in studying Li Hong's encirclement and annihilation tactics in the Wuqiaoling ambush.
Li Hong smiled humbly and said, "Chief Xiao has won the award, and he is just lucky to win the battle." ”
"Commander Li, this is not my old Xiao praising you, just now Chief Chen also said to us, he said that you Li Hong has strategic vision, courage, knows how to seize the fighter, ambush tactics are very clever, is a handsome talent, this is simply praising the son-in-law......"
"Hahaha!"
The officers in the war room all laughed.
Although it is not a national event for Li Hong and Chen Shujun to fall in love, this is also a well-known thing in the war zone.
Chen Tingxiao's face did not change, and Xiao Yuehua fell: "Old Xiao, you are also the director of the war room, why do any good words change the taste in your mouth?" ”
A few people made a few jokes and walked over to a sand table map.
Several staff officers in the war room were fiddling with the shrunken landmark building on the sand table.
Xiao Yuehua picked up a baton and pointed to the counties and towns near the Luliang area, and he said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Devil, the 143rd and 113th Wings have approached the Luliang area, the total strength of the Japanese army is more than 15,000 people, and our defenders only have 2 brigades......
Chen Tingxiao thought for a while and said: "Luliang and other places are very important, once they are lost, it will not be long before the Japanese army will regroup its forces to attack southwest Shanxi and other areas from many sides, the intention of the Japanese army is obvious, the enemy wants to eat our defense area one bite at a time, my proposition is that the 22nd Division will be transferred from Linfen to the Luliang area to defend the Japanese army." ”
They discussed for a while, and then turned to Wei Boru to look at Li Hong, who was contemplating.
"Li Hong, you can also talk about it."
Li Hong retracted his thoughts, looked at the sand table map for a while, and said slowly: "Chief Chen advocates reinforcements, which I agree with, the Japanese army's offensive tactics are indeed like breaking corn, slowly breaking one by one, and when they finish breaking the Luliang area, the little devil Ken will turn around and mobilize heavy troops to besiege Gucheng County, Jincheng, Linfen and other places." ”
"The Japanese army occupied too many cities and towns, and the troops were too scattered, my opinion is that for the purpose of containing the Japanese army, Division Commander Chen Changjie only needs to personally lead two brigades to support Luliang, start a long-term confrontation with the Japanese army, and consume the enemy's troops."
The strategy proposed by Li Hong to consume the devil's troops has been unanimously approved by all the commanders.
Chen Changjie's 22nd Division has three elite brigades, each brigade has about 6,000 combat personnel, whether it is to reinforce two brigades or three brigades to the Luliang area, it is impossible for 15,000 little devils to attack Xialuliang in a short time.
Therefore, the 22nd Division might as well leave a brigade to consolidate the Linfen guard......
