"Report to Deputy Battalion Commander Li, the seventh company of the third battalion was ordered to come and report. The regimental headquarters ordered that from now on, the seventh company will be under your command from below me. While Li Zhiyong was studying the map in his room, a middle-aged man pushed the door in and reported loudly.

In terms of age and qualifications, Li Zhiyong can't compare to himself, but he doesn't underestimate him at all.

In the army, I heard that Li Zhiyong was advertised as a role model for all recruits in the regiment.

In three years, he has grown from a recruit to a deputy battalion commander, and this promotion speed is definitely the fastest in the garrison regiment.

Such a person, you say that he is incapable, absolutely impossible.

"Company Commander Zhou, come and sit!" Li Zhiyong hurriedly pulled Company Commander Zhou to sit next to him, and then pointed to the map to introduce.

"The mission given to us by the regiment commander is to travel 80 kilometers long distance, take this stronghold, and then report back here, what do you think?

Company Commander Zhou could only understand very simple maps, such as where the stronghold was located, where the highway was taken from, and as for the contour line or something, he couldn't understand it at all.

One glance at the map he replied, "What's there to think about?" ”

"From here to the stronghold, the distance in a straight line is eighty kilometers, and if we take the road, it will be at least one hundred and twenty kilometers, and we will march for three days to rush through, and then attack the stronghold for one night, and return the next day, for a total of six days to end the battle."

"There are more than 200 Japanese puppet troops stationed in this stronghold, although the strength is more than my company, but we are equipped with two mortars and three heavy machine guns, and the firepower is definitely stronger than theirs, and we will definitely be able to capture it."

Li Zhiyong shook his head and replied: "You are the most reckless way to play, and it may not work." ”

"If you look at the map, although the stronghold we want to attack is not big, it is ten kilometers away from this stronghold and is the county seat."

"If you can't take it down within an hour, the county garrison will come with reinforcements. At that time, not only will the stronghold not be able to be taken, but he will also fall into it, and he will lose his wife and lose his army. ”

"There is also the road to the stronghold, I just calculated, it will take at least 130 kilometers to take the official road, and there are two checkpoints through the Japanese puppet army in the middle, not to mention the distance, and it is easy to be exposed, which is very dangerous."

"Look at this piece of mountains, the official road is obviously turned here, and it goes around a big circle around the mountain, and the dozens of kilometers that go through the official road are all detoured here."

"The map doesn't show that there are trails and mountain roads that go directly through the mountains."

"But you can see that the terrain along this line is very gentle, there are no steep slopes and cliffs, and it should be possible to pass through."

"If we go here, we will have to walk at least 30 kilometers less, save a day's time, and we can also bring a day less dry food to reduce the burden on the soldiers."

Company Commander Zhou couldn't understand the contour line on the map, shook his head and replied: "Deputy Battalion Commander Li, you can go as you say, and we will obey the order." ”

Half a month ago, Li Zhiyong couldn't understand the contour lines on the map, and the level of reading the map was about the same as that of Company Commander Zhou.

After all, their level is there, and most of the time they are fighting according to orders, and they can do whatever their superiors tell them to do, and they don't need to study the map.

Even if there is a chance to fight independently, it is to fight independently in a small area, and you can figure out the battlefield terrain by finding a few guides.

So being able to look at the map is very limited for them.

After half a month of study, Li Zhiyong's two biggest changes are that he can read maps and learn a lot of tactical tactics.

These tactics and tactics were all used by the Eighth Route Army or other units, and after being explained by the regiment commander and chief of staff, they were imprinted in his mind like lettering, and they could be taken out and used at any time.

After staring at the map for another two minutes, Li Zhiyong made a decisive decision.

"Then it's decided!"

"The troops carried three days' dry rations and set off on time at ten o'clock in the evening."

"Company Commander Zhou, you transfer the reconnaissance squad to the front and set off at nine o'clock. After arriving in this area, find a few local people to confirm that there are any mountain roads that can be passed directly through this mountain without detouring. ”

"Ask a few more people, and it's best to find some hunters, no one is more familiar with the surrounding mountains than them."

"If there is, we must protect them and tell them to be our guides."

"After the troops arrived at the destination, they first stood still, the guard squad, the reconnaissance squad, all of them were scattered out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, only the specific location of the county town and the stronghold and the surrounding terrain on the map, and there was no indication of how many Japanese puppet troops there were in the county town and strongholds.

In another house at the regiment headquarters, Yuan Hu was also studying how to capture the target.

He looked at the map issued by the regiment headquarters for a few minutes and then threw it aside.

As soon as the company commander under his command arrived, he began to give orders: "Company Commander Wang, the order given to us by the regiment headquarters is to leave at ten o'clock, but it does not say that we cannot advance it. ”

"It's seven o'clock in the evening, I'll give you an hour to prepare, set off on time at eight o'clock, each soldier carries four days' dry rations, and strives to arrive at the attack target within three days, and then send reinforcements, attack the stronghold, take the target in one night, and withdraw to the base area."

The two men have diametrically opposed command styles.

Yuan Hu pays attention to being fast, fierce and ruthless.

Li Zhiyong pays attention to planning in advance, thinking about everything before acting, so as to respond to all changes without change......

All this was seen by Li Hao.

Then he looked at Wang Hong and said, "Political commissar, see the difference between them!" ”

"Li Zhiyong obviously learned everything in this rotation training, did not be impulsive when encountering things, and considered all the problems before acting, which is also the quality that a qualified commander should have."

"Yuan Hu didn't pay attention to what he learned during the rotation training at all, and continued to command the battle according to his old habits, and the first thing that came to mind when he encountered something was to rush forward regardless of it."

"If such a cadre does not study hard and changes his command style, at most he can only be a battalion commander and go to the front line to fight and rush violently."

Wang Hong agreed: "That's true. Hopefully, the next raid will teach Yuan Hu a profound lesson, change his style, and realize the importance of learning. Otherwise, he would not be able to go up to the battalion commander in his life. ”

When Li Zhiyong led the super small road to the target, Yuan Hu was still on the road with his troops.

However, Li Zhiyong did not immediately attack, but dispatched all the scouts to investigate the specific situation of the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold.

The preparations were in vain, and he received good news that afternoon.

"Every five days, the devils in the stronghold will go to the surrounding villages to sweep around, grab food, grab money, and improve their lives.

And tomorrow happens to be the day when the Japanese army will go out of the stronghold to grab food.

Li Zhiyong decisively decided to give up the attack, and first destroy the devil's living force outside the stronghold before attacking the stronghold.

The troops were armed with three heavy machine guns, seven light machine guns.

is properly arranged, the ambush battlefield is well chosen, and a round of firepower can kill more than 30 little devils.

The total number of Japanese troops in the stronghold is only about eighty, and if the Japanese army dispatches a squad of more than fifty, it means that they can kill most of their squad with one round of strafing.

If a few more mines were placed around the ambush battlefield, the Japanese would have suffered even greater casualties and would have almost lost their combat effectiveness.

Without the support of devils, the remaining puppet army is a lamb to be slaughtered, and they can eat whatever they want.

If the luck is good enough and the company commander of the puppet army is captured, the troops can still take the stronghold by stealing in disguise, then the results of the troops will be greater, and the casualties will be small.
