Chapter 50: Proxy Camp (4)
Brigade Commander Ye's gaze met that of Chief of Staff Gao again, and both of them nodded slightly, thinking about it, they were also persuaded by Hu Congjun's suggestion.
Chief of Staff Gao said: "If you still have different opinions, even if you say it, if there are no other problems, then let's reformulate the battle plan according to Commander Hu's suggestion!" ”
But there was no one in the room who spoke.
Xiao Linghu thought about it and raised his hand.
"Camp Commander Xiao, what do you have to say?" Brigade Commander Ye asked.
Xiao Linghu said: "I think this time when we fight the devil's defense line again, we can't fight hard like during the day, we should find a battalion, even if it's a company, find a gap and use the cover of the night to quietly touch the devil's back, or to the side, find a point, attack from both sides, and break through." As long as you break through a little, you can expand and tear to both sides to quickly expand the results, so that you may be able to break through the devil's outer defense line in one fell swoop! ”
Hu Congjun listened to Xiao Linghu's words and kept nodding.
Brigade Commander Ye laughed, looked at Chief of Staff Gao again, and said, "Okay, what the old guy was talking about just now was a strategic matter, but now what Ling Hu is talking about is a tactical matter, you are a regiment commander and a battalion commander, it is really a mutual benefit!" ”
Hu Congjun and Xiao Linghu also glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.
Then, Brigade Commander Ye, Chief of Staff Gao and others, seeing that no one else spoke, took into account the opinions of Hu Congjun and Xiao Linghu, and finally decided that the 65th Regiment would fight in the first half of the night and the 61st Regiment in the second half of the night. The real battle began at eight o'clock in the evening and lasted until twelve o'clock, with rotations. The two regiments fought for four hours each, waited until after four o'clock in the morning, rested a little, and then continued to fight, and must break through the outer defense line of the devils before dawn and hit the town entrance of Luodian.
Brigade Commander Ye and Chief of Staff Gao both talked about some specific rotation measures, as well as the problems that the two regiments need to pay attention to when fighting, especially the prevention of devil snipers, they don't want more grassroots cadres to throw their lives on the battlefield, these grassroots cadres are the backbone of the main division of the 11th Division, if there is no such battalion commanders, company commanders, and even platoon commanders to go forward and succeed, there will be no 11th Division's past glory.
"For the cold gunners of devils, you must pay special attention!" Brigade Commander Ye finally said very painfully: "The battalion commander and company commander try not to run to the front of the team, if you really want to command the battle, you must also dress yourself up like an ordinary soldier, don't hold a pistol or something, you can carry a rifle!" ”
Although his words caused everyone to laugh, but after laughing, it was a kind of helpless sadness.
After the meeting was dismissed, each regiment went to break down its tasks on its own, and Hu Congjun called the three battalion commanders of the 65th Regiment to the temporary headquarters of the 65th Regiment, and this so-called headquarters was actually a room next to the brigade headquarters.
Hu Congjun didn't say too many polite words, and said bluntly at the beginning: "You have also heard it, our 65th Regiment is the first to fight, here I want to tell you that now our three battalions, the total number of combat personnel, but a little more than a thousand, weapons and ammunition have also lost a lot, I also know your difficulties, so I hope you don't complain in front of me!" ”
The three battalion commanders looked at each other, and as soon as Hu Congjun began, he blocked everyone's words.
Hu Congjun continued: "Battalion Commander Xiao also spoke at the meeting just now, talking about letting a battalion, or a company find a gap to drill through the devil's defense line and go behind them, although this idea is good, but it is not feasible!" ”
Xiao Linghu looked at Hu Congjun in surprise.
Hu Congjun also glanced at him, and then said: "The reason why I said that it was not feasible was because I made some observations on the field during the day. If you can really find the gap, the two regiments have been fighting for so long during the day, you must have thought that you can do it! This line of defense of the devil extends from the Lianqi River in the south to the Chahe Port in the north, and such a trench two miles long was dug between the two rivers, and it was not one, but three trenches! ”
"But......" Xiao Linghu was about to add, but was interrupted by Hu Congjun raising his hand.
Hu Congjun continued: "Of course, if it is difficult for a battalion or a company to pass, then if there are fewer people, seven or eight people, or at most a dozen or so people pass, there should be no problem, you can swim quietly from the river on both sides, and then go ashore behind the devil." ”
Xiao Linghu closed his mouth, this was exactly what he wanted to say, and kept nodding his head.
Hu Congjun paused, and then said to everyone: "Therefore, the combat policy of our regiment can be determined in this way." First, a death squad of ten people was formed, swimming through the river and arriving at the north end of the devil's defense line. I first organized a battalion to attack the southern section of the devil's defense line, of course, this was mainly a feint, and the main force was arranged in the northern section of the devil's defense line, leaving a company as a reserve to defend the rear in order to prepare for the devil's counterattack. ”
Hearing Hu Congjun's arrangement, Battalion Commander Yao of the Second Battalion couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Is there less to leave a company?" Didn't you just go to the brigade commander and say that you would leave a battalion? ”
Hu Congjun said: "In front of the brigade commander just now, I just wanted to reassure them, if it is according to my idea, only one platoon will be left!" ”
Xiao Linghu and everyone were a little surprised, the newly appointed head Hu was really bold, he had already expected that the devil would not be able to adopt the tactics of attacking again like during the day.
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Hu Congjun continued: "Now, can anyone take the initiative to ask for which task to complete? As he spoke, he looked at the three battalion commanders in front of him, he was also the acting regiment commander, temporarily appointed, although he never doubted the combat capability of the 65th Regiment in Cheshan, but after all, which battalion was suitable for what he didn't know too well.
Battalion Commander Yao said: "Our second battalion has always been arranged to assist, and the main attack has always been completed by the first battalion!" He said, glancing at Xiao Linghu.
Xiao Linghu secretly scolded the cunning of this Yao battalion commander in his heart, although he had just arrived in this regiment, he also knew that as a regiment commander, he must have his balancing skills, and it was impossible to always let one battalion attack the main attack and the other battalion assist. The reason why Battalion Commander Yao wanted to say this was because he didn't want to have too many casualties, so he wanted to fight that feint mission.
Hu Congjun nodded, looked at Xiao Linghu, and then looked at the Huang battalion commander of the third battalion on the side, and saw that none of them spoke, so he immediately said: "Okay, the second battalion will carry out a feint attack in the south." As he spoke, he deliberately reminded Battalion Commander Yao: "Although your battalion is a feint, it must really fight, otherwise it will not be able to attract the main force of the devil to come." ”
"Understood!" Battalion Commander Yao nodded, he knew that Hu Congjun meant to let them put a certain amount of pressure on the devils.
Hu Congjun said again: "If there is a fight in the north, don't slacken, maybe you can really break through their defense?" ”
Battalion Commander Yao immediately said: "Yes! If it is feasible, our second battalion will definitely fight it! ”
Hu Congjun nodded with satisfaction, and then faced Xiao Linghu.
