Chapter 763: Zhili's Last Battle Six
"Tell me about it?"
When Jia Qisheng heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and the rest of the generals also looked at Zhao Dabang.
"Look ,——"
Zhao Dabang mallet couldn't read the map, so he casually held a small charcoal strip that was thrown on the city wall by the fire, and drew a schematic diagram on the green brick.
The crowd gathered around to watch.
"This is the artillery position of the Japanese army, which is laid out along the Fenghe River, about 3 miles from the northeast corner of Langfang, and less than 4 miles from the north city gate; This is the northern position of the Japanese army, about 2 miles from Langfang City, about 3 miles from the artillery position, and this is the east position, which is also more than 3 miles away from the artillery position. ”
With Zhao Dabang's mallet talking and drawing, a simple diagram of the Qing Dynasty in the northwest of Langfang was roughly presented in the eyes of everyone.
"You want to raid with cavalry?"
He Changying was a little moved when he heard this, if the cavalry suddenly attacked from the north gate, with the advantage of speed, it was completely possible to rush into the Japanese artillery group along the river before the Japanese troops were reinforced.
Even if the Japanese troops on the west and north sides send troops quickly, the cavalry regiment will win about no less than ten minutes of precious time to fight the Japanese artillery alone.
"No, your cavalry is only less than 700 troops, but the total strength of the 3 artillery wings of the Japanese army is more than 17,800 people, and there is no chance of winning at all."
Xu Bangdao shook his head again and again and vetoed.
"Lao Tzu is a surprise bomber, and he doesn't want to annihilate them? The 700 elite soldiers under Lao Tzu are all first-class heroes who fly on the grass in the northwest all the year round, as long as the cavalry disperses out of the city gate, they will definitely be able to kill the Japanese artillery group within three minutes! ”
Zhao Dabang had big eyes on the mallet: "The Japanese artillery position has a loach formation along the river, and it is not so easy for them to quickly gather the team and assemble it into an effective firing phalanx; Even blow up and chop, run away when you're done, can they bite your mallet master and my big mouth? ”
"Speak as you speak, whose lord are you?"
He Changying glared at Zhao Dabang angrily.
"I am my grandson's grandfather, Master Xu, you are my own grandfather."
Zhao Dabang looked at He Changying and was angry, and hurriedly licked his old face and smiled at Xu Bangdao.
"I don't dare to be a grandfather, but you Zhao Dabang really has this ability, and the old man has a girl who has not yet been out of the cabinet, and his talent and appearance are not bad."
Xu Bangdao listened to Zhao Dabang's mallet and mouthful, but he was not angry, when he was young, he used to be full of 'you bite the master's mouth', this kind of fierce bull talk.
At this time, I felt very cordial when I heard it, and I was happy to ask for Miss Xu.
"Master Xu, this is what you said, let's spit a nail in one mouthful!"
Zhao Dabang hit the snake and wrapped the stick to Xu Bangdao's side.
"As long as you have this ability, the old man's smear is firmer than a nail!"
Xu Bangdao nodded with laughter.
"Commander-in-chief, does my Lao Zhao have a daughter-in-law,——
Zhao Dabang mallet jumped up happily, looked at He Changying's face and shouted pleadingly: "It depends on whether you give it or not!" ”
"Haha-"
Everyone in the castle tower laughed, and the solemn atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
He Changying gave Xu Bangdao, Jia Qisheng, and Tang Shaoyi each threw a cigarette, lit one, frowned and pondered.
This cavalry, he originally kept it for use as the tip of the knife when breaking through, at this time, if according to Zhao's plan, even if he could successfully defeat the Japanese artillery position, the cavalry regiment would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Agree, it means immediately starting a bloody gamble on a local battlefield!
Disagree, wait until the Japanese artillery bombardment, so many cannons, it can be said that without infantry attack, almost all of them can raze Langfang City.
"Our reconnaissance company is still outside the city, the commander-in-chief doesn't know if he has noticed, behind the side of the artillery position, there are still five or six thousand Qing prisoners."
Yin Wenxin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "If you can go out of the city and notify the reconnaissance company to launch a surprise attack on the captured Japanese troops while the cavalry is out of the city to attack,—— I think there will always be some people who dare to attack the artillery position with the reconnaissance company." ”
Yin Wenxin's words made everyone's eyes light up.
However, Zhao Dabang pouted and said, "Can you go out to deliver the letter?" This daylight is the same as Tietong, when you are invulnerable, you will be invisible! ”
He Changying looked at Cheng Hao, a technical staff officer from Nanyang.
This Cheng Hao was originally a member of a group of Nanyang youths who He Changying specially placed in the independent battalion, and was trained by Reinhard as a staff officer, but this kid was timid and afraid of death, and he couldn't endure hardships, so he didn't want to be left in any regiment.
There was no way for He Changying to let him be the captain of the engineer squadron, but it didn't work, and then he was put in an idle post in the corps staff department.
However, since this kid discovered the fireworks of the anti-Japanese army, he immediately became obsessed, and he blindly pondered all kinds of more elaborate combinations and instructions when he had nothing to do.
Later, this kid tried to add the Morse code to it, and after getting He Changying's nod, he began to forcibly train and assess all the scouts and signal soldiers.
At this time, Cheng Hao didn't notice He Changying's soliciting gaze at him, but held a charcoal strip and frowned at a string of code names written on the blue brick floor.
Everyone noticed He Changying's gaze, and then looked at Cheng Hao nervously with sudden realization.
"Commander-in-chief, you can clearly indicate the instructions!"
Cheng Hao raised his head excitedly, and saw that everyone was staring at him with big eyes, his little heart was suddenly startled, and then an inexplicable emotion of enthusiasm and pride surged in his heart.
It was something he had never done before, and in this moment, he forgot the cold, the hardship, and the danger of bullets and bullets here.
I remembered the grandeur and pride when I boarded the ship from the South Seas.
After listening to Cheng Hao's words, everyone was overjoyed, only Zhao Dabang's face was inexplicable.
"Staff Officer Yin's battle plan is very good, but the details still need to be adjusted, if the reconnaissance company and the cavalry regiment are launched at the same time, the reconnaissance company will not have time to participate in the attack on the Japanese artillery at all; Come, let's have a good discussion. ”
At this moment, He Changying's heart was full of joy, that is, he was happy that he had found a 'living son' in the dead situation, and he was also happy that the generals of the army gradually began to get rid of their dependence on him in battle.
"These cannons are not placed in a centralized manner, how can there be so many explosives packs?"
Liu Yufu suddenly said: "Even if there is, put an explosive bag on each artillery and then ignite it, where is there such a calm time?" ”
He Changying looked at Ye Chuansong, the captain of the sapper.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, there are not many explosives carried this time, but we can immediately make a hundred or ten small explosives bags, and directly block the explosive bags above the muzzle and ignite them."
Ye Chuansong, who is also from Nanyang, is obviously much more conscientious than Cheng Hao in the position of engineer captain, and immediately gave He Changying a satisfactory improvement plan.
"It's not easy to light the velvet on a horse, and then light the fuse, and then stuff it into the muzzle, and the thousands of Japanese soldiers around are not stupid, just watch the cavalry perform acrobatics on the horse."
Yin Wenxin immediately raised an objection.
Riding on a running war horse and lighting flint is indeed a superb craft, and it is also lit in battle, which is obviously not an ordinary difficulty. ”
Everyone frowned and bowed their heads in silence, thinking hard about countermeasures.
He Changying suddenly had an idea, and said, "In fact, you can use the principle of a grenade to solve this thorny problem, you must not have heard of what a grenade is, it doesn't matter, as soon as I tell you, you will understand that it is-'."
"Commander-in-chief, I know, I know! This thing has been around for hundreds of years, and it's an old thing. ”
You Dajiang, a staff officer on the side, suddenly interjected to speak, which made He Changying stunned, but he didn't expect this guy's knowledge to be so profound.
