Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Battle of Tongues

"What a name!" When Zheng Qigui returned to the division headquarters. When he saw the radio station and the radio soldiers who had been bombed into a 'mess', he couldn't help but be furious: "The radio station does not protect such an important thing, and such an important document is also 'obtained' everywhere. At such a critical time, he also added 'chaos' to everyone. Drag the troops back 'legs'! I think you should do some introspection."

The comrade named Wang Huaying didn't dare to say a word when he was scolded by Master Zheng, but he just put his head on his head, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, and Political Commissar Wu couldn't look at it, so he stepped forward and persuaded: "Lao Zheng, don't worry, don't worry." The more difficult the time, the more you need to be calm. The cannonballs don't have long eyes, and Section Chief Wang can't be blamed for this. In this case, we transferred radio stations and radio soldiers from the regiment for the use of the division headquarters

"Report!" When I heard this, I hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, handed over the deceitful telegram, and said: "Division commander, political commissar, this is a telegram that Comrade Xiao Li asked me to 'handover' to the division commander before his sacrifice. I didn't expect them to turn around and "

Master Zheng and Political Commissar Wu didn't seem interested in listening to what I said next. I hurriedly took the message in my hand and looked at it, and I couldn't help but sigh. They looked at each other with shocked faces.

Political Commissar Wu was more cautious, and he handed the telegram to Wang Huaying again, presumably asking him to sign the authenticity. Wang Huaying looked at it for a while. I definitely ordered it to Commander Zheng and Political Commissar Wu

Head.

"Immediately call a meeting of group-level cadres!" Wang Huaying nodded, and Master Zheng quickly gave an order to the correspondent beside him.

"Yes!" The correspondent turned and ran.

"Hurry up!" Wu Chengde seemed to have lost patience and shouted at the back of the communicator: "Let all the regimental cadres run to the division headquarters to assemble!" ”

"Yes!" The correspondent answered without replying, and at this time he also knew that the situation was serious, and he ran away without a trace.

Division Commander Zheng and Political Commissar Wu didn't speak, but hurriedly walked into the division headquarters and looked at the map on the table. I don't care about three-seven-twenty-one. He walked in after them.

After a while, the commanders and political commissars of each regiment were all panting and ran all the way into the tunnel, and when Commander Pang saw that I was already here, he couldn't help but sigh, leaned over to my side and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?" Is it that the military department has come to order again? ”

"Hmm!" I nodded

"Hmm!" Head Pang couldn't help but 'gasp' a cool breath. A 'cloud' soon crept up on his face.

I know what he is worried about, during this time, the order of the military department is nothing more than to defend in place to cover the retreat of the large army, or just to wait for reinforcements. Moreover, it also happens from time to time that orders under the network are changed in the blink of an eye, so as soon as he heard that the military headquarters had issued another order at this critical juncture, the first thing that came to Commander Pang's mind was that it was definitely not good news.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, this time I was afraid that he would think wrong, not only him, but I think everyone here couldn't think of the content of this message.

"Here's the thing!" Maybe because of the urgency of time, Political Commissar Wu didn't wait for Master Zheng to speak. He raised the telegram in his hand to everyone: "I just received a telegram from the military headquarters, and I have changed the original plan for breaking through the encirclement" and ordered us to keep the radio silent, break through to the south, and then move to the discussion and government

With a coax, Political Commissar Wu's words were tantamount to dropping a bombshell among the regimental cadres. And in an instant they began to talk about each other. I looked at Head Pang, and he didn't react for a long time with his mouth open, looking like the second monk was 'touching' and confused.

"Comrades, be still!" Political Commissar Wu spoke out to stop everyone's discussion: "Time is running out now, we will start to break through before dusk." Now, what do you think of this plan? ”

"I disagree!" Soon someone stood up and objected: "Although the south is a pseudo-Sixth Division, it is easier to break through, but the further you fight to the south, the farther away from our large army?" This. What's this called a breakout? This is clearly for us to attack! ”

"That's it!" Some people also raised questions: "If we break out, let us go in the direction of Yizheng Fǔ, where is the Western Front, and all of them are US troops." If you want to break through, you should take the eastern front and break back from the defense line of the puppet army! ”

"That's right!" Zhou Guangpu even raised doubts about the telegram: "I see if the military department sent the wrong telegram, this is completely unreasonable, we are running out of bullets, and let us fight south!" Let's send a telegram and ask

"Nonsense!" Senior Commander Zheng frowned. said unhappily: "The military department naturally has his reason for such an order, you think this is buying vegetables in the vegetable market." Still bargaining with the military department? We're at war! ”

"Division commander, political commissar!" Seeing that the order at the venue was 'disorder' and it was impossible to reach a consensus in a short period of time, I had to stand up and salute and say: "I thought that Zheng Beichang was right, and this order of the military department is reasonable!" ”

As soon as I said this, the political cadres of the regiment couldn't help but cast suspicious 'confused' eyes at me, and Commander Pang was also one of them.

"Tell me about it!" Master Zheng's face was still 'gloomy', and he looked like he was going to eat people.

"Division commander, political commissar, this is how I understand a telegram from the military department." I paused, sorted out my thoughts, then walked to the map, pointed to the Eagle Peak where we were originally going to break through, and said: "This is the place where we want to break through Eagle Peak, the terrain here is dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack, once the US military realizes our breakthrough target, it can take the lead in occupying Eagle Peak with airborne troops."

"Cut!" At this time, someone asked: "How can the Yankees be airborne in this dark at night?" ”

On this point, I explained: "I don't know that this is the first time you have entered the DPRK to fight, but I have just seen in the fourth campaign that the Yankees can use helicopters to land a small number of special forces to occupy important strategic heights

Saying that, everyone turned their eyes to Wang Huaying, I guess that if this Wang Huaying is in charge of the confidentiality work of the irrigation division, he should be a heavyweight belonging to the intelligence department, and if the Yankees don't even know that the Yankees can use helicopters to land troops, then I can't say anything.

Wang Huaying quickly nodded: "The U.S. army fought like this during the fourth battle. At that time, it was a company of American rangers who landed, and our army was a strong regiment against them. And he ran into trouble, he couldn't attack it several times, and he also ran into a sniper from the US army. The person who finally solved the sniper and changed the tide of the battle was you, Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!

As soon as Wang Huaying said this, the heads of all regiments and political commissars all cast surprised glances at me, even Commander Pang, and some regiment commanders and political commissars also looked at Commander Pang with envy on their faces.

Only Senior Commander Zheng and Political Commissar Wu didn't react, they should have known about this for a long time.

In fact, I was also a little surprised to hear Wang Huaying's words, what I didn't expect was that this Wang Huaying would check me out so clearly, but it is reasonable to think about it, a person like me is showing his strength in the reading division, if I don't find out my bottom clearly, it is his dereliction of duty as an intelligence officer.

But fortunately, he didn't have the skills to find out, and I was a person who had traveled back in time from modern times.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "If the U.S. military occupies Eagle Peak first, with the capabilities of their special forces. It can completely block the attack of several of our divisions for a period of time, and the station of the US 24th Division is not far from Eagle Peak, so it will soon be able to go to reinforcements, and what will happen then, I don't need to say it! ”

There was a bang. As soon as my words fell, everyone couldn't help but talk about it again.

"And our breakthrough is not in the right direction!" I added insult to the fact that "our large army is in the north, and we will break through to the north." This intention is too obvious! The Yankees are not fools, they must have been prepared for a long time, as long as they put barbed wire, mines, and tanks on our breakthrough route to the north, and then send infantry to defend the important high ground, even if we can reach Eagle Peak, I am afraid that this army will be almost defeated! ”

"I agree with Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Commander Pang stood up and said: "We only considered whether to break through before, but we didn't consider whether this breakthrough direction was reasonable, and the route to the north was short, but just like Deputy Battalion Commander Cui said, the enemy will definitely strengthen the defense in the north, transfer heavy troops to the north, and focus all attention on the north." On the contrary, the enemy's defenses in the south will be very lax, and it will be the puppet 6th Division that has always suffered defeat under us! ”

"I agree". Political Commissar Wu also nodded and said: "The enemy can't think of it, and we can't think of it, all of them can't think of attacking to the south, but the military department has thought of it, this is to attack it unprepared!" Catch them off guard, and we can easily break through! ”

"But after the breakout, why did you move in the direction of the council instead of going east? Another person raised doubts and 'confusion': "Isn't it easier to fight back to our army's position if there is a puppet army in the east?"

"This is another clever feature of the military department!" I said, "We'll figure it out." The enemy will also think that once we break through the encirclement, the enemy will definitely focus its reconnaissance on the east, and may even send one or two divisions to the east, and at that time we will have a puppet army in front and an American army chasing after us, but I am afraid that we will soon fall into the enemy's encirclement again! ”

The voice network fell. Many of the cadres of the regiments nodded in agreement, so I continued: "On the other hand, if we move to the Western Front, we will again surprise the American army." Most of the U.S. forces are fighting against our troops. The rear forces are empty, and reconnaissance must be very lax, and the US troops are not familiar with the terrain and will never march at night, so if we go out by day and at night, hide in the forest during the day, and come out to march at night. Then you can easily move to any point behind the US battle line, and then 'insert' a knife from the back of the US army, break through the US defense line and return to our army's position in one fell swoop! ”

This time, everyone's discussion was different from the previous ones, the first time they were more incomprehensible complaints, and now they are discussing the feasibility of this plan.

I think at this time Political Commissar Wu opened his mouth and said: "The direction of the discussion and politics that the military department asked us to transfer should have the intention that Deputy Battalion Commander Cui said. But if it is really like what Deputy Battalion Commander Cui said, then there should be a unit of our army that is desperately standing up to the US army, so that it makes sense for us to 'insert' a knife from behind, after all, we don't have much ***

"Commissar!" At this time, Wang Huaying said: "The discussion of politics is the comrade of Wangjun

"Hmm! Is there really a force on top? Hearing this, Political Commissar Wu couldn't help but glance at Master Zheng, and the two nodded to each other, looking at their appearance, I knew that there would be no more doubts about breaking through to the south now.

Actually, I know it in modern sources. Right now. It was when the entire Volunteer Army of the Western Front retreated, and only the Wang Army was the only army in the area of Yizheng Fǔ to resist the American troops who were chasing after them. That's why I wrote in the forged telegram that I was transferred to the area of the council. The discussion of the political fǔ was so important that if the mechanized units of the American army wanted to pursue the volunteers, they had to go north along the legislative corridor. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the Mortar Army to block the Eighth Army with Van Vliet as the commander with only one corps, including the British Flying and Concave Brigades, the US Airborne Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 10,000 Division.

Of course, the Wang army in history also paid a considerable price after blocking the attack of the Eighth Army, and the whole army was slow at the beginning of the battle, and after just over a month of the fifth campaign, only more than a person with blade force remained. This loss is much greater than that of the army, but because the loss of the Wang army is a victory in the eyes of the Zhi 'lip' army, and the loss of the army is a defeat, the loss of the army will be so dazzling.

"But what's the radio silence?" Division Commander Zheng still seemed to be a little confused: "Radio silence has not lost contact with the organization, when will we move to the discussion of politics, when will we start fighting, then there is no way to contact the comrades of the embryonic army, how can we coordinate at that time?"

Alas! Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. If you are accustomed to listening to the orders of your superiors, and you are accustomed to acting according to the orders of your superiors, and you suddenly lose contact with your superiors, then you will show a kind of helplessness like Commander Zheng, and from this point of view, Commander Zheng really cannot be regarded as a qualified commander.

"Master Zheng". I saluted Division Commander Zheng and said the excuse that I had already thought of: "The Yankees have an advanced instrument that can detect the activities of our army's radio stations from afar. Although they could not break our message. But it would *** our location, so,"

Of course, there are reasons for this, but I add the clause "radio silence", and more importantly, once the division headquarters and the military headquarters are in contact, the telegram I forged will soon be 'exposed'.

"Hmm". Hearing this, Senior Commander Zheng quickly nodded and agreed with my statement, so the cadres no longer had any objections to the plan to break through to the south.
