"No way!" Perhaps in order to dispel the division commander's desire to attack now, the lieutenant general replied very firmly.

"I understand your eagerness for revenge, but have you ever wondered what would happen if our raid failed?"

"Everyone saw the strong strength of the Eighth Route Army that night, except that the artillery strength was much stronger than we imagined, their individual combat effectiveness, the offensive ability of the troops, and the coordination of infantry and artillery...... All of them were far beyond our expectations. ”

"To say something that everyone doesn't like to hear, after the assessment of the theater, their combat effectiveness and overall strength are now stronger than many of our troops."

"Even if they run out of artillery reinforcements, it will be difficult for our army to break through their lines in a short period of time."

Speaking of which, the lieutenant general directly focused his attention on the commander of the main division.

"Senior Commander Wang, tell me the truth, if the war zone agrees that you will attack the Eighth Route Army's defense line now, you can really break through their defense line within half an hour?"

"This ......," the division commander immediately remembered the picture of the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Pingshan stronghold that night.

They took squads and platoons as units, and under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, they advanced alternately in battle formations to assault the strongholds of the Japanese puppet army......

The shells fired by the artillery were like eyes, and they constantly smashed in front of the offensive positions, providing them with artillery cover.

If you let your soldiers attack, you will definitely not be able to fight so well.

But soldiers are good-looking, especially in front of their commanders and their own subordinates.

He replied, "It should be about the same!" ”

The lieutenant general saw his embarrassment at a glance and asked, "In other words, you may not be able to take the defense line of the Eighth Route Army within half an hour?" ”

The division commander blushed and replied: "Sir, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen, so I don't dare to say 100 percent?" ”

The lieutenant general asked: "Then tell me, if the defensive line is not taken within half an hour, is it possible for the artillery and heavy machine gun units withdrawn by the Eighth Route Army to return to their positions and rejoin the battle?" When the time comes, will you have a chance to break through the defense, and what a cost! ”

"If you don't break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army and enter Datong, how much will the war zone cost?

"This?" The division commander couldn't hold on.

He lowered his head and replied: "Sir, if the battle situation really happens like the one you said, the chance that we will succeed in breaking through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army is less than 30%, and we will pay a huge price." ”

"If you don't break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, I really haven't thought about the question of how much the war zone will cost."

"If you didn't think about it, then I'll tell you the answer!" The lieutenant general replied.

"If you don't break through the defense line and enter Datong, the negotiations between the theater and the Eighth Route Army will be in vain, and the compensation we gave to the Eighth Route Army will also be in vain.

"If the theater still wants to take Datong, it must talk to the Eighth Route Army again, and only God knows how much it will cost."

The division commander's face became paler and paler.

The lieutenant general only said the price that needs to be paid in the theater of operations, but does not say the price he has to pay for this result.

If this happens, as the initiator of this matter, the culprit, he will definitely be pulled out and punished heavily.

When the time comes, don't say that you will keep the position of the division commander, if you don't do it, you will even lose your life.

hurriedly apologized to the lieutenant general: "The chief is angry, it's too reckless to humble his position, and he didn't think about it so much." ”

"From now on, I promise not to mention assaulting the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, but the commander will look ahead."

The lieutenant general shook his head and replied: "It's not for me to take the lead, it's to obey the orders of the theater of operations, listen to the commander-in-chief's command, and he will fight as much as he tells us!" ”

After packing up the division commander, the lieutenant general began to read out the commander-in-chief's order.

"According to the agreement, at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the Eighth Route Army will begin to withdraw from its positions, and we will follow behind to defend all positions."

"It's not Datong that you need to guard, it's here!" The lieutenant general pointed to the two towns on the map that had been assigned to the garrison regiment and ordered.

The division commander's eyes, which had just dimmed, brightened again, staring at the map and shouting, "I understand, the commander-in-chief is trying to let us fish in troubled waters." ”

"At the beginning, the troops entered Datong step by step."

"As long as we enter Datong, then we can do whatever we want."

"The troops first followed the retreating troops of the Eighth Route Army to Guanshan Town, and then divided into two, one part of the troops continued to defend other positions abandoned by the Eighth Route Army under the banner of the main force of the division, and the other part of the troops marched directly into these two towns, and entered these two towns with lightning speed."

"As long as the troops enter these two towns, then they are ours, and the Eighth Route Army said that they don't want to drive us out."

"Sir, is the war zone letting us fight like this?"

After the division commander finished speaking, he looked at the lieutenant general, hoping to get his affirmation and save his reckless and impulsive image in his mind.

The lieutenant general replied with a sneer: "It's like this, but your appetite is too small." ”

"The war zone gave so much compensation to the Eighth Route Army, but only two towns were returned, which is too much of a loss."

"And these two towns were originally ours, and they were taken away from Datong by the Eighth Route Army through negotiations."

"Taking it back now is just a matter of returning it to its original owner, and it doesn't make up for our losses."

"The task given to you by the commander-in-chief is to take Hunyuan."

"The main force of the division took advantage of the chaos to enter these two towns, and then drove straight into Hunyuan."

"If possible, we can also send a part of our troops into Guangling and Lingqiu to occupy some villages and towns in these two counties, so as to create conditions for us to squeeze the garrison out of their base areas in the future."

"I have some information here that might be useful to you."

"In order to deal with the more than 5,000 puppet troops attacking their base area and seizing no man's land, the garrison regiment transferred all the troops in their rear."

"In the current Hunyuan, Guangling, and Lingqiu areas, except for some guerrillas, there is not a single main force in formation."

"The commander-in-chief hopes that you can seize this opportunity to reap more benefits for the war zone and make up for the losses in the war zone as much as possible."

"If you complete the task, the war zone will be rewarded, and if you can't complete the task, the war zone will not be punished. But if this matter is big, you need to find someone to go out to top the tank and calm down the anger, and the war zone will definitely push you out, so you have to master this degree. ”

"In case of any military conflict with the Eighth Route Army, we must control the scale and don't make a big deal about it, if we can destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, then it would be the best." ”

The greater the risk, the greater the gain...... This phrase applies everywhere.

The division commander understood what the lieutenant general meant, as long as the result is in the theater, not the process.

Without making a big deal out of the situation, the more you seize the base area of the Eighth Route Army, the more you will gain, and the more you will be rewarded by the theater.

He immediately replied: "Sir, don't worry, I will not disappoint the commander-in-chief and take the territory of the three counties of Hunyuan, Guangling, and Lingqiu for him." ”
