Chapter 103: Adjust the deployment and rational configuration

Shuihe Village. Village office. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters.

Yu Genshan: "Okay, okay, don't say it again, I'm about to drool." Company Commander Ma, you are deliberately greedy for us when you say so lively, right? ”

"No, no, how could it be. Ouch, I almost forgot. The regiment commander, political commissar, and Company Commander Fang asked me to bring back more than 20 big buns, thin-skinned, stuffed pork and green onions, which are very fragrant, and he said that they were for you leaders to taste. Alas, if it weren't for the heat, I would have brought back braised pork and chicken. Ma Fucai opened the white cloth bag, picked up two buns and handed them to Yu Genshan and the political commissar respectively: "Hey, it's still warm." Chief of Staff, Director Huang, and Battalion Commander Han, you can do it yourself, don't seep it, it's too late. ”

Yu Genshan took the bun, bit off half of it, and chewed it with gusto. Everyone else was eating the buns with relish. The smell of meat wafted through the room.

Yu Genshan greeted indistinctly: "Company Commander Ma, haven't you had dinner yet?" You eat it too, it's too late, it's gone, that's what you said. ”

"Commander, there's nothing to do, I'll go back to the Sixth Company first. Company Commander Fang wrote a letter to several of your leaders, asking me to hand it over to you. Ma Fucai took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Yu Genshan, picked up three buns and got up and left the war room of the regiment headquarters.

Yu Genshan read the letter while eating steamed buns. I watched as my eyes widened, my expression nervous, and my eyes lit up. After reading it, he handed the letter to the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, you hurry up and take a look, if there is no opinion, immediately implement what Fang Jiren said." ”

"Commander, what's the matter? So urgent? The commissar asked suspiciously.

Ma Fucai walked out of the regiment headquarters and walked towards the east of the village.

"Rich, rich, I'm here, come here." A faint voice came from the darkness of an alley.

Hearing the voice, Ma Fucai looked back and forth vigilantly, turned around and walked quickly into the dark alley: "Junsheng, I knew you had to follow quietly." Give, take, pork buns, the sixth brother asked me to bring you, it's fragrant, eat it. ”

Deng Junsheng took the bun and sniffed it, and whispered: "Hey, it's so fragrant." Ay? Fucai, have you made everything in the group clear to the young master? Does he have any explanation? ”

"Well, I've made it clear. The sixth brother asked you to keep an eye on all the people in the regiment headquarters, and dig out the traitors as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless disasters. ”

"Well, I see, I'll get this scoundrel out as soon as possible."

Shuihe Village. Village office. The Eighth Route Army supplemented the regimental headquarters.

The chief of staff put down Francis's letter and said solemnly:

"Yes, Commissar, this matter is very urgent. As Fang Jiren said in his letter, he suggested that we secretly station a plainclothes reinforcement squad or a platoon as an outpost alert squad in Taicang Village to the east of Shuihe Village, Shengyong Village to the north, and Shunhe Village to the northwest, each of which is equipped with a machine gun and carries some more grenades, and each team is on standby to monitor the movements of devils and puppet troops in Lin'an County and Lin'an Town from three directions, so as to defend Shuihe Village. If the devils go out to attack and encircle Shuihe Village, once the battle starts, the three reinforced squads can launch a surprise attack behind the devils from three directions at the same time, coordinate with the main force of the regiment inside and outside, flank the front and rear, and beat the invading enemy by surprise. Such a deployment of troops, both overt and covert, has also strengthened our army's concealment, mobility, and flexibility. Commissar, I think Francis's suggestion is justified and will be helpful in fulfilling the tasks assigned to us by our superiors. What do you think? Director Huang and Camp Chief Han, don't patronize and eat, and talk about your opinions. ”

Political Commissar: "Francis's opinion is right, I completely agree, so let's do it." ”

Huang Zhongde: "As long as it is conducive to the resistance against Japan and our army, I have no opinion." ”

Han Dagang: "It should definitely be deployed like this. It's just that...... Alas! ”

Yu Genshan: "Just what? Battalion Commander Han, don't talk about half and leave half, whatever thoughts and opinions you have, say them happily. ”

Han Dagang: "Yes." I would like to say that in the current situation, it would have been better if Francis had stayed in the regiment, but it was a dilemma that he could not come back while he was on a mission. ”

Yu Genshan: "It's nothing, isn't it the same for us to do what he said?" ”

Han Dagang: "Maybe." But I don't think Francis is in the regiment in a different way. Well, it's useless to talk about this now, so let's not talk about it. ”

The chief of staff put down Francis's letter, looked at Yu Genshan and the political commissar and said solemnly:

"The regimental commander, political commissar, Fang Jiren's suggestion is very good, it is very necessary from a tactical point of view, and it is even more feasible from a tactical point of view, which can better improve the deployment of our army's troops, and also enable our regiment to grasp the combat initiative to a greater extent, and expand the room for maneuver on the battlefield. Battalion Commander Han, I want to draw troops from your reinforced battalion and send two squads in each of these three villages, what do you think? ”

"Nope! Chief of Staff, don't draw troops from my reinforced battalion, it's not good to do this, this way. Han Dagang flatly refused.

"Huh?! Why? What's so bad? The Chief of Staff asked suspiciously.

"Yes! Battalion Commander Han, are you in the midst of a battle or do you want to preserve your strength? Huang Zhongde asked sharply.

Yu Genshan, who looked displeased, and the political commissar looked at Han Dagang suspiciously at the same time.

Han Dagang frowned, lowered his head, blinked his eyes, and after thinking about it, he raised his head and said:

"I'm not trying to fight timidly, and I'm not trying to preserve my strength. I thought about it this way: Is it possible to send a platoon of the second battalion and six companies to these three villages, and one squad in each village is enough. Staff Officer Wu told me that the platoon was brought out by Fang Jiren from the rain of bullets, and that the actual combat experience and combat skills of the soldiers are the strongest among the platoon-level units in the whole regiment at present, and they are much more familiar with the terrain and features in this area than the soldiers of the reinforced battalion, which is conducive to mobile operations and is also convenient for transfer and concealment. I estimate that if Francis knew that the troops stationed in the three villages were his previous platoon, he might have sent two more squads or a platoon of troops in each village, or maybe it would be the team he brought out of the mountains, and the combat effectiveness would be stronger. Franciscan would lay out tactics in detail, and even personally instructed them how to attack, how to defend, when to attack, and when to retreat. The soldiers in the first platoon and Francis knew each other very well, and when they joined forces, they would well understand and carry out the combat intentions of their superiors in the future joint battles. Moreover, there is no need to take care of the ammunition and food regiment, and Francis will be all inclusive, isn't it better? ”

"Oh, yes, look at what you said, it's like the real thing. Camp Commander Han, you said so much, as if you knew that Francis would do it. What if he doesn't? Have you thought about it? Huang Zhongde said aggressively.

"Yes, Director Huang has a point." The commissar chimed in.

Yu Genshan interjected: "Of course it would be good if Fang Jiren could do this. But Camp Commander Han, why do you say that Francis would do this? Do you have any basis for this? ”

"According to? It seems to have been, and it seems to have not. Han Dagang said vaguely.

"Alas! Isn't that the same as not saying? Battalion Commander Han, you said a lot of things with your nose and eyes just now, do you have any basis? The chief of staff asked.

"Yes, according to Francis's letter. I pondered that since he was able to put forward such a targeted and practical suggestion in a timely manner, I believe that he should have more thoughtful and specific ideas and practices. Commander, I don't know if I can make sense when I say that. ”

Yu Genshan nodded approvingly, "Well, it makes sense." I also think that Francis might do that, and that would be great. ”

Chief of Staff: "I hope so, I'd rather believe it." Commissar, you say it. ”

"Me? I don't want to interfere too much in military matters, but what Battalion Commander Han said does have some truth, so hurry up and do what he says. ”

"Okay, I'll go to the sixth company for a mission." The chief of staff stood up to leave, but sat down again: "Wait, don't worry. Regiment commander, if you transfer one platoon from the sixth company and leave only two platoons, will it weaken the defense force in the east of the village? ”

"Huh? yes, why didn't I think of that just now? This is indeed a problem. ”

"Regiment commander, chief of staff, do you think this will work? I detached two platoons from the reinforced battalion and transferred them to the east of the village to be commanded by Company Commander Ma to strengthen the defense force in the east of the village. ”

"Okay, that's it! Chief of Staff and Battalion Commander Han, you can do it separately. Yu Genshan happily patted the table and said.
