Xiao Zhan led his troops back to the interrupted defense area, rested briefly in a position, and brought the remains of the wounded and comrades to the city.

Xiao Zhan took off his hat and looked at the northeast, and scolded: "He's shit, the devil is really not fucking muddy." ”

Although he won the first battle, Xiao Zhan still felt depressed. He had equipment that was not inferior to the enemy, he was properly deployed, and the devils were also trapped, but after the first battle, the troops still suffered nearly a platoon of casualties.

Let's just say that in the battle in the village just now, the troops of two companies beat more than 20 little devils, and as a result, more than a dozen people were injured.

Xiao Zhan knew that there were no immortals in war, but he really couldn't afford to be injured, and the quality of the soldiers on both sides could not be made up for in a moment.

"Talking dirty, the company commander is becoming more and more like the company commander."

Zheng Binghao walked over with a smile, he was very satisfied with this battle. A platoon for a devil with nearly two squadrons, this is something he never dreamed of. The devils were basically wiped out, and only a dozen people were killed on their own side.

Xiao Zhan put his hat on and said, "Next time the devil will learn to be smarter, but sometimes it's not a good thing to be smart." ”

"I don't understand, isn't it good to be smart?"

"Being smart is being mistaken by being smart."

Xiao Zhan picked up a thin branch from the ground and broke it in two, then put it behind him and held it in the palm of his hand, and then placed it in front of Zheng Binghao, the thin branch above his fist was one long and one short.

Xiao Zhan said: "Now I am your enemy, and you will win if you draw the longest." I'll tell you first, the short is the long. ”

Zheng Binghao thought for a long time, and couldn't make a judgment for a while. The surface is clear at a glance, if it is long, it is too simple, but if it is short, Xiao Zhan said that the short is long. Xiao Zhan is now an enemy, how can the enemy's words be believed?

Zheng Binghao wandered in the whirlpool of "long" and "short", and his thinking was confused.

At this time, Zheng Binghao remembered what Xiao Zhan had just said, so he took a short look and said, "It's not good to be smart, I'd better be a fool." ”

Xiao Zhan opened his palm, and the two thin branches were the same length, Zheng Binghao was unconvinced: "Company commander, you cheat." ”

"Naive, they all said that I am your enemy. The soldier is treacherous, don't you understand this? ”

Xiao Zhan gave the thin branch in his hand to Zheng Binghao and said: "Sometimes there is no so-called length at all, he is an illusion created by people, confusing the psychology of the other party, and causing errors in judgment. The commander's thinking cannot be limited, and the devil's failure is because of normal thinking, and he only looks at the illusion in front of him. ”

Zheng Binghao scratched his head and said, "Big brother, this is too profound. ”

"These two twigs are for you, you have time to think about it." Xiao Zhan patted Zheng Binghao and said, "You will be a good commander in the future, don't limit yourself to normal thinking, think about abnormal thinking." ”

At this time, Zhao Guangfu walked over and said, "You can go back, right?" The positions outside the city have not yet been arranged. ”

Xiao Zhan asked, "Can you ensure that nothing goes wrong?" ”

Zhao Guangfu said: "We are sappers. The explosives had been planted in advance, and it was a big deal to pull a barbed wire. ”

Xiao Zhan looked at the time and said, "Then let's implement the third set of combat plans." ”

Xiao Zhan left with a company and a guard platoon, and Zhao Guangfu returned to Lanfeng City with sappers to complete the final deployment of the periphery.

In the first stage, Xiao Zhan has achieved his initial goal.

First, the empty city is not empty, telling the enemy that a strong army is in Lanfeng, so that the devils have some scruples, and even give the illusion that the 88th Division is in Lanfeng;

Second, boost morale. Two big victories can bring the morale of the troops to a peak, confirming Xiao Zhan's words before: we are strong enough!

The 2nd Wing of the Japanese Army encountered the real 88th Division, and if the villages outside Lanfeng were all fighting like just now, the 2nd Wing of Lanfeng would have been reimbursed before it had been attacked.

The defeat in the first battle had a great psychological impact on Ishiguro, and he was always hovering in the whirlpool of "virtuality" and "reality", which led to his hesitation in judgment. This is the same as Zheng Binghao's hesitation just now, and the "victory" and "defeat" of the battle are between the commander's thoughts.

"Boom!" "Boom!" “……”

While the devils were advancing, several explosions occurred on the road. The devil soldiers in front stepped on the mine and were blown up completely, and then the devils sent sappers to carry out demining operations, and the speed of their attack slowed down again.

Devil Wing Command.

Ishiguro Sadazo's face was extremely ugly. After the battle, he immediately sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter the periphery of Lanfeng to find out the reality of the other party, but there has been no response until now. Now the main roads are again under mine attack, and the troops are struggling.

As the commander, Ishiguro Sadazo's thinking was greatly confused, and Lan Feng was calm, but he felt that there were enemies everywhere.

"Report, report from the front, more than half of the mines dug up by the sappers are fake."

"Nani!"

Ishiguro slapped the command table vigorously to vent his depression. One truth and one falsehood, one fiction and one reality, feeling completely controlled by the other party in the palm of his hand, this is a great shame for the soldiers.

Now Ishiguro is faced with two choices: one, if the other party is imaginary. Then you can go directly to attack Lan Feng City without any scruples; Second, if the other party is real. Then he must send troops to clear all the strongholds on the periphery, as well as real and false mines on the roads, to ensure the safety of the main attacking force.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, why did you only send scouts and didn't send troops to directly attack the outlying strongholds?" The officer beside Ishiguro couldn't help but ask.

Ishiguro said, "We must know the reality of the other party. If it is false, we will go directly to attack Lanfeng; If it's true, it's not too late for us to clear the periphery. ”

Ishiguro, who suffers from gains and losses, has once again deviated in his judgment. From a gaming point of view, he wants to exchange the least price for the biggest return. If it is false, the return is the greatest, and you can take the Lanfeng without much effort; If it is real, it will not be much of a loss, and he can divide his troops to attack the outlying strongholds without any scruples.

Dividing troops, preparing for battle, and preventing ambushes in the village all take time, and sending scouts is the fastest and most effective way.

Xiao Zhan had already seen that the key point of the battle was time, but Ishiguro didn't seem to realize it yet, and the scouts he sent out couldn't come back.

The strongholds and villages around Lanfeng seemed to be calm, but no one who went in had ever come out. This gives people the feeling that there are all kinds of soldiers, and there are crises everywhere.
