Chapter 6 Newborn calves
Liu Fan thought about the controversy just now, knowing that it was nothing more than the question of how the enemy had a super offensive ability and how our army could defend, and combed through the war materials stored in his mind over and over again, and suddenly a trace of inspiration flashed through his mind, and suddenly he seemed to have grasped something, the enemy was strong and I was weak, yes - the Battle of Wuhan, one of the few victories of the National Army in the War of Resistance, was because a famous general of the National Army put forward the thesis of "defending Wuhan and not fighting in Wuhan" and was implemented, resulting in a brilliant record in this battle. The generals of the national army led by the 'tiger boys' inflicted heavy losses on the arrogant Japanese attack troops, changing the vicious circle of the national army's previous defensive battles that they must lose every battle, which is somewhat similar to the current situation encountered by the Great Qi army.
I silently recited in my heart: "Defend Wuhan without fighting in Wuhan, defend Wuhan without fighting in Wuhan." ”
Just thinking about the difference between this and the current defense of Ganzhou, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of porcelain breaking in his ears, and his train of thought was interrupted suddenly, who is this, when he raised his eyes, he saw that everyone was casting strange eyes at him, and Qi Boyuan's face was also deeply wrinkled.
What's going on, when I turned my head, I realized that I was in trouble, because I was too involved in thinking about it, I accidentally touched the teacup, and I made a big appearance in front of everyone, but at this time, I couldn't save it, and I saw someone in the seat opposite at a glance and even gloating in his eyes.
Guo Huaide slowly spoke, "Does Brigade Commander Xiao Liu have any ideas, if you have an idea, you don't need to smash the cup, I didn't see an ambush outside--I couldn't help laughing out loud after speaking, and the generals and colonels were teased by his laughter, and then burst into laughter, and the solemn atmosphere caused by the dispute between Wang Kai and Ma Youlai just now was washed away without a trace.
Liu Fan stood up awkwardly in laughter, glanced at Qi Boyuan, and saw Qi Boyuan nodding slightly, then straightened his chest and said loudly, "I very much agree with the opinions of Lvshuai Tian and Lvmari Ma. ”
Before he finished speaking, Guo Huaide immediately said, "Oh, did the three of you count the content of the meeting in advance and establish an offensive and defensive alliance, haha, let's say, what do you think."
Liu Fan followed Guo Huaide's words word by word, "I'm thinking about whether I can defend Ganzhou and abandon Ganzhou first." ”
As soon as this sentence was finished, and then before his second sentence came out, he saw that a group of generals were baffled by this seemingly inconsistent sentence, and they all stared at Liu Fan there, seeing how he continued to play, Qi Boyuan's brows and eyes that had just stretched out furrowed were wrinkled again.
I only listened to the familiar voice on the other side and said in a strange manner, "What's wrong with this Jincheng Army, there is no one to talk about, this kid's injury has not healed and he accidentally took the wrong medicine?" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Guo Huaide with an angry face, and was just about to speak, when Feng Xian, who was sitting on the opposite side, saw that the situation was not right, and immediately stood up and scolded angrily, "Wang Kai, shut your stinky mouth, and if you dare to talk nonsense, don't attend the meeting."
Guo Huaide saw Feng first standing up and talking, so he didn't say anything to reprimand Wang Kai.
Wang Kai closed his mouth stupidly, Liu Fan thought in his heart, this person is a guy who doesn't remember to eat or fight, and he can't control his mouth.
I saw Guo Huaide say slowly, "Brigade Commander Xiao Liu is really shocked, what should I do to explain this sentence?" ”
Liu Fan organized the language in his heart and said, "I have an immature idea here, and I don't know if it makes sense, so I'll say it for everyone's reference, but before I say it, I have a few questions that I want to ask the commander-in-chief to explain." After speaking, he bowed to Guo Huaide again.
"Speak."
Liu Fan said: "The people in Ganzhou City are roughly geometric, if they need it in wartime, can they all be evacuated within a day or two?" ”
After hearing this, Guo Huaide turned his head to show Wei Wenyuan, and the other party immediately stood up and said, according to statistics in June this year, there are more than 13,000 people in Ganzhou City, and there are 3 out of 2,500 households. It should have been not long ago, Wei Wenyuan spoke without a trace of hesitation.
"Most of these people are family members of the Ganzhou army, and a very small number of them are businessmen who deal in civilian or military supplies, and Ganzhou has been the front line of the two armies for many years.
Liu Fan then asked, "Is all of our army's grain and grass hoarded in Ganzhou City, or is it only a small part of it, and most of it is transported at any time?" ”
The general who made the record next to him replied, "Our army has only prepared grain and grass in Ganzhou for ten days, and grain and grass from Yongchang will arrive every three days. ”
"The third question is, has there been a secret passage dug in Ganzhou City to lead to the outside of the city in case of an emergency?"
"Hahaha......" Guo Huaide burst out laughing and said, "Boy, you're asking too much." This sentence is equivalent to not answering, but Liu Fan has already confirmed from Guo Huaide's expression and tone that there is indeed a secret passage.
As the three questions were asked, the expressions on everyone's faces gradually became serious, and Liu Fan even saw a hint of strangeness in the eyes of the shemale opposite.
Liu Fan didn't stop for a moment, and continued, "Before explaining the idea of 'defending Ganzhou and abandoning Ganzhou first', I would like to briefly analyze the opportunities and difficulties that our army is currently facing.
"The first is a matter of time, today is August 14, the commander-in-chief just said that the main force of the Khitan Army arrived in Ganzhou on the 18th, and the main force of the camp reinforcements arrived in Ganzhou on the 20th."
"In this way, there are three time periods, that is, from today to the 17th, more than 75,000 troops of our right army will confront the more than 55,000 troops of Nuergedan; From the 18th to the 19th, after the arrival of the four brigades of the Shenwei Army in Yongchang County, more than 90,000 troops of our army confronted the nearly 155,000 troops after the arrival of the main force of the Marshal Mansion on the Khitan West Road; After the reinforcements arrived on the 20th, more than 155,000 troops of our army confronted the 155,000 troops of the other side. ”
"From the perspective of the three time periods, in the first stage, our army has the advantage and is most likely to defeat the other side; The second stage is the most dangerous, after the main Khitan force presses up, the city of Ganzhou is very likely to be breached, resulting in a complete rout of our army; In the third stage, the military strength of the enemy and us is basically the same, but the combat strength and marching speed of our army are inferior to the other side, although we have a geographical advantage, but the possibility that the city of Ganzhou will be broken by the enemy still exists. The most crucial question is whether our army can survive the difficult second stage of 189 and 2 days. ”
Ma Youlai listened intently to Liu Fan's words, and became more and more surprised in his heart, this guy and I have been stirring in a pot for four years, except for a handful of strength and the courage to fight and dare to rush when fighting, usually three sticks can't hit a fart, what's wrong today, a stone is opened down, or is it possessed by a fairy? It turned out to be the head of the way! Seeing that although he was tall and tall, he still had the childishness of a young man on his face, and he pretended to be old and talked eloquently, and he couldn't help but be funny in his heart, and couldn't help worrying about him. At a glance, I saw that Qi Boyuan also frowned and made a contemplative expression, and there was a faint layer of melancholy on his face, knowing that Qi Sima was also afraid that this kid was young and formless, and he had just received a commendation from the camp, and his personal future was ruined by himself with an inappropriate word.
"The second is the issue of opportunity, from the perspective of the three stages, the greatest chance of our army to win lies in the four days from today, only before the arrival of the Khitan main force to solve Nuergedan, will we change from passive to active, and promote the war to change in the direction favorable to our army."
"Especially once the main force of the Nuergedan army is annihilated, will the army of the Marshal of the Khitan West Road still have the confidence to continue to march to Ganzhou?"
"I feel that after hearing the news of the destruction of Nuergedan's main force, the Khitan army is likely to retreat to Shazhou for further planning when it is no longer superior in strength, and will not move forward blindly."
"If you can't take the initiative to attack and give up this only opportunity, blindly rely on passive defense, and wait for the two Khitan armies to converge will be a nightmare for my right army."
Although Qi Boyuan knew that there was such a person in the A Brigade before yesterday, and he had heard that this person had studied in a private school for a few years, he never felt that there was anything great about this person, and today he heard that this kid analyzed the current situation so thoroughly, no matter whether his remarks about "guarding Ganzhou but not guarding Ganzhou" behind him were reasonable, but this analysis alone made people impressed, and the worries in his heart were slowly put down.
"Therefore, 'defending Ganzhou and abandoning Ganzhou first' is to change passive defense to active attack."
"First of all, the Ganzhou army will carry out a full mobilization in the city, and it is imperative that all the people evacuate Ganzhou before noon tomorrow. Most of the buildings in Ganzhou City are civil structures that are easy to burn, such as flammable materials such as fire oil in the army, which can all be handed over to the Ganzhou Army to be placed in many places in the city. ”
"Second, the main force of our army is hidden in the southeast and north of Ganzhou City, and a small number of troops are deployed in Ganzhou City for defense, inducing Nuer Gedan to take the initiative to attack the city today and tomorrow, and the defenders will hold out until the evening of the 16th to withdraw from Ganzhou City in an orderly manner, and Nu Ergedan will have to give up Ganzhou only after we have gone all out."
"Third, on the evening of the 16th, after all the main forces of the Khitan army entered Ganzhou City, the Ganzhou army entered Ganzhou from the secret passage at midnight, set fire to many places where the fire oil was pre-planted, and waited for an opportunity to open the city gate."
"Fourth, seeing that the fire broke out in the city, the main force launched a general attack on Ganzhou from three sides after the city opened the city gate, and it was necessary to annihilate the main force of the enemy army in one battle."
