Wu Peifu has not been fighting in the front line for many years, although his usual routine still maintains the habits of enlistment, his figure is not as out of shape as other Beiyang warlords, especially his boss Lao Cao, Lao Cao once joked that he can't see himself when he stands and pees, but after all, the years are not forgiving, and he is out of breath on mountain roads like the one near Lao Yashan. Vasily's situation was slightly worse than Wu's, and he was okay at first, but finally took off his thick coat and was carried by Adjutant Hong. As for Chen Li, these two teaching craftsmen have long been pulled far behind by the team.

Wu Peifu raised his glasses and carefully observed the mountain situation of Lao Yashan, "Well, this group of bandits has a good eye, this place is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack." Not to mention that the local security regiment colluded with them, even if the security regiment really made up its mind to fight, I am afraid that it would have to suffer heavy casualties. ”

Adjutant Hong said with a smile, "Marshal, the security regiment is also considered an army, I will rush up with my brothers now to ensure that the battle will be resolved within two hours!" ”

Wu turned his head and looked at Adjutant Hong meaningfully, "Are you so confident?" How are you going to fight? ”

Adjutant Hong took out the plan in his stomach completely, "There are two important points in fighting Lao Yashan, one is the hidden enemy on both sides of the road, and then there is the commanding height. I was going to divide my troops into three routes, seize the intersection all the way in the middle, and use our artillery to bombard that commanding heights directly. The remaining two roads gave him all the bandits on both sides of the road. ”

Vasily laughed disdainfully, but he didn't speak.

"Mr. Vasily, what are you laughing at?" Wu asked.

Vasily pointed to the old duck mountain in front of him and said, "The old duck mountain belongs to the thatched mountain, the field of vision is wide, the defending side is very easy to find distant targets, if your stormtroopers rush forward, their heavy machine guns can be found quickly, if the enemy in the cave rushes out and snipes at you at the intersection, the enemy hidden on both flanks will come back to the counter-encirclement, your glorious team... ”

"I was dumpled by this group of unknown bandits. And there's one more thing you didn't take into account. Wu handed the telescope to Adjutant Hong, "You pay attention to the path up the mountain, there is a large section of the road in the middle that is seriously dented, about two-fifths of this distance, if you are surrounded by enemies while passing through this road, you will really be like dumplings in a pot." ”

Adjutant Hong saw that Wu and Vasily actually denied themselves, and he was very unconvinced, "They are just a group of bandits, how can they think the same as our regular army?" ”

Wu was a little angry, "Fart, the bandits have lost the battle, they are still bandits, you have lost the battle, and the number of this team will no longer exist." Do you know why I didn't send you to the front to fight? You are a good hand at attacking and charging, but when it comes to strategic awareness and overall awareness, you kid is still far behind! ”

Adjutant Hong saw that Wu was a little angry and no longer stiffened, "Dashuai, you're right, I'm a rough person and can't think so much, so what do you say we should do now?" ”

Wu watched with a telescope for a long time.

At this time, Chen and Li supported each other, and climbed to the position of the team out of breath.

"Let's go back to the village!" Wu said firmly.

"What? Go back, the two of us just climbed up from the village below! Li Da complained.

"What? Is Wu Dashuai ready not to fight? Chen Qingtong was very disappointed.

Vasily said calmly, "General Wu, can you tell me what you think?" ”

Wu sat on a cobblestone on a hillside and stretched. "We are attacking now, we are in the light, the enemy is in the dark!" Wu looked up at the sun in the west, "If we attack at night, the enemy will not have the advantage of fighting during the day. In addition, didn't the teacher today say that the bandits' food has not been levied enough? Let our soldiers put on the clothes of the villagers, put all their weapons on the food trucks, and advance towards the crossing. If the bandits want to ask, let's talk about the food carriers. ”

"Okay, at night, most of the hidden bandits on their side of the road will also retreat to the cave to rest, and we will divide our troops into two ways when we reach the intersection, knocking out his commanding heights all the way, and going straight to his lair all the way." Adjutant Hong said excitedly.

Vasily shook his head, "Although General Wu's method is good, it also has loopholes. What are you going to use to defeat that commanding height? ”

Adjutant Hong patted the barrel of a soldier's back, "Of course I used this!" ”

Vasily shook his head, "You take a good look at the steepness and complex terrain of this old duck mountain, if you attack from the back, it is difficult for the artillery to accurately judge the attack distance, if you can't hit it with one shot, then the opponent's commanding height will use its condescending terrain to destroy you first." ”

Li Da heard it in a fog, "Eh, I know what every word you just said means, but I'm completely confused when I get together, can you put it simply?" ”

Wu nodded, "I thought Mr. Vasily was just a civilian official?" I didn't expect to know so much about the military! ”

Vasily smiled, "Don't forget that we also seized power by armed force, and the mountains of the USSR are no less than your China!" ”

Wu also laughed, "A few of you come over to me!" Wu gathered a few warriors with small cannons on their backs and instructed, "Go around the back of the mountain before dark and climb on their heads." After assembling the cannons, they will hide on the spot, and at the beginning of the battle, I want you to take out their vantage points first. ”

Adjutant Hong shook his head, "We are attacking at night, which is not good for the artillery, after all, they are small-caliber guns, and they still have to rely on the naked eye to find targets." ”

Wu opened the bag behind a soldier and pulled out a gun. "Don't you still have flare guns? When you arrive at the intersection, the distance from the commanding heights is very close, and if you put a shot at the commanding heights, the signal flare will illuminate the whole mountain as if it were daytime, and the artillery can open fire at this time! ”

"Report sir, we're going to get the job done." Several artillerymen said in unison, and then they began to march on foot to the top of the mountain.

Li Da took the telescope and looked at it for a long time and also had an epiphany, "Well, I kind of understand, his commanding height is high, we will go to a higher place to beat him, this is called a magic height of one foot and a foot high!" ”

The crowd laughed.

Chen Qingtong looked at Wu Peifu with admiration, "General Wu, I admire you more and more, how did you come up with such a method." ”

Adjutant Hong said proudly, "When our marshal was engaged in espionage work in Northeast China, the Japanese gave him a nickname, 'Mr. Always Have a Way.'" ”
