Chapter 743: Things Are Done by People (2)
Li Hong said in public that there was a glimmer of hope for retaking Madang Fortress, and he was not grandstanding, he dared to say such things after careful consideration and analysis.
"Oh? Does Regiment Commander Li have a plan to recapture Madang Fortress? ”
The officers and generals next to him looked at Li Hong in surprise, and they all questioned Li Hong's words just now.
"Commander Li, we all know that you are a victorious general who has won many battles, but the Japanese army has all the advantages, and the fortifications of Madang Fortress are impregnable, and it is absolutely impossible to counterattack Madang Fortress......"
In the face of everyone's doubts, Li Hong can also understand that the generals present have used various tactics to attack Madang Fortress, but the result is a complete defeat, because the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.
The national army troops organized so many attacks, and before they could rush to the Madang position, they were hit back by the devil's planes and naval artillery.
Chen Xiuping didn't question Li Hong's words, he also had a counterattack plan in his heart, but he wanted to hear Li Hong's unique insights first.
"Li Hong, since you have a battle plan to counterattack Madang Fortress, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Li Hong did not refuse, and slowly analyzed: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese army has the advantage of the Japanese army, our army has the advantage of our army, we are familiar with all the terrain of the defense line near Madang, and we even have the fortification layout map of Madang Fortress. ”
"The fortifications of Madang Fortress are so strong, according to my judgment, the Japanese army will not go to great lengths to rebuild new fortifications, so the Japanese army will use the original combat fortifications to defend, then all the deployments of the Japanese army will be clearly exposed......"
Many officers and generals have also thought of this, and there is not much dry goods in Li Hong's words.
Previously, the artillery units of the National Army also concentrated artillery fire to storm the positions defended by the Japanese army, but even if the infantry of the National Army had artillery support, they were still unable to attack the first line of defense of the Madang position.
Unable to attack the Madang defensive position, even if you know all the deployments of the Japanese army, it will not be of great help.
Immediately, Li Hong picked up the baton and pointed to the mountainous terrain of Madang Fortress.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Madang Mountain is shaped like a galloping horse, the horse's head is a steep mountain wall, and the two sides of the fortress are also steep and steep mountain walls, only the horsetail behind the side, the mountain is slightly gentle, before, the Japanese army attacked the Madang fortress from Mawei Mountain."
"It shows that Shangmawei Mountain is the only offensive path to attack Madang Fortress, and it is also the weakest position of the defensive line, but in fact, this is the most difficult defense line to break, the Japanese army must have deployed heavy troops, deployed a strict fire blockade, and our army has suffered heavy casualties every time we attack Mawei Mountain, so if we want to attack Madang Mountain, we must not land from Mawei Mountain."
Li Hong's words sound like a thorough analysis, but if you think about it carefully, what he said is simply nonsense that is taken for granted.
The officers present are not fools, if the national army troops do not land and attack from Mawei Mountain, then where else can they attack from Madang Mountain?
A major general hurriedly stood up and said sharply: "Commander Li, don't you think your analysis just now is ridiculous? If our army does not attack from Mawei Mountain, will it not be possible for the officers and soldiers to put on their wings and fly up from the cliffs? ”
The major general spoke so unceremoniously that he mainly thought that Li Hong was playing tricks on them.
Isn't it a fantasy to let officers and soldiers fly up Madang Mountain?
"That's right, my attack plan is to let the officers and soldiers fly up from the cliff of Madang Mountain!" Li Hong said with a stern face, he was not joking with everyone.
"Commander Li, even if there are officers and soldiers who can climb from the mountain wall, but climbing from the mountain wall in broad daylight is easy to be discovered by the Japanese army, which is equivalent to making soldiers live targets." The major general did not approve of Li Hong's whimsical plan.
Li Hong smiled disappetically at the major general, and said with a serious face: "Sir, I didn't say that I climbed from the wall of Madang Mountain during the day, I said that I climbed at night......"
"Climbing the cliff at night???"
All the officers were suddenly not calm, Li Hong's plan was really a bad idea, and they all wanted to strangle Li Hong, the king of big talk, on the spot.
What is the difference between having such a poor vision at night and letting a soldier climb a cliff and looking for death?
"Captain Li, climb up from a hundred-meter-high cliff, and if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and die. Seeing that Li Hong had nothing to say, the major general continued: "Commander Li, how is it, you have nothing to say?" Your plan just now is really nonsense! ”
"You think no one can do it, and the Japanese army also thinks that it is impossible for our army to climb from the cliff!" Li Hong said confidently: "Of course, if others can't do it, it doesn't mean that I and my soldiers can't do it, I believe that things are done by people!" ”
Li Hong is not arrogant and blindly confident, before, he has fought many incredible battles, in the eyes of many generals, it is impossible to win, but as a result, the security regiment has won.
The officers in the war room were all silent, even if they didn't believe Li Hong's words, they couldn't find a reason to refute them.
"Good, good, good thing is man-made, that's right!"
Chen Xiuping affirmed Li Hong's battle plan, and he was also convinced that it was up to people to plan things and to make things happen.
It is not advisable to storm Madang Fortress, and only by adopting unexpected tactics of the Japanese army can the Madang Fortress be recaptured by surprise.
Chen Xiuping's plan to counterattack Madang Fortress was different from Li Hong's, but he appreciated Li Hong's surprising tactics more.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me also tell you about my counteroffensive plan......
Originally, he was preparing to concentrate his artillery superiority to bombard the Japanese position at Maweishan, and then ordered the air force to attack the Japanese fleet stopped on the river, so that the Japanese naval guns could not provide artillery support to the Japanese troops in Madang Fortress.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, another bomber squadron was sent to attack the fortifications on the Japanese positions with napalm, and finally the elite marines of the national army attacked and landed on Mawei Mountain.
Li Hongting agreed with Chen Xiuping's battle plan, but this plan was not surprising enough, the victory rate was not large, and the casualties of the troops were definitely large.
If Chen Xiuping and Li Hong's battle plans can be combined with each other, then this is a perfect counteroffensive battle plan.
"Chief Chen, the task of climbing Madang Mountain can be handed over to our security regiment, and the humble position can cooperate with you in the battle!" Li Hong took the initiative to ask for the battle and took over the task.
The special forces of the security regiment have undergone various rigorous training and are good at climbing, and climbing to Madang Mountain is not difficult for them at all.
Chen Xiuping looked at Li Hong with trust: "Okay, Head Li, the heavy responsibility of climbing Madang Mountain will be handed over to you!" ”
