War is always changeable and uncontrollable, because there are many variables that affect war, and these variables are not static, some variables will suddenly disappear, and some will suddenly appear.

To put it more plainly, war will never go according to your plan, no matter how subtle your plan is and how meticulous your deduction is.

For example, Wang Mo, since he sent troops, because of the changes in the situation in Chengdu, he had to change his battle plan again and again. It was even more risky to lead the independent division to march lightly and forcibly to Chengdu. If the 1st Division had known about the situation of the independent division at the moment, and had gone all out to attack and attack, it would have had every chance to annihilate the independent division that had run out of physical strength and did not have much ammunition.

For example, Peng Guanglie, before the war, wanted to preserve his strength and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, but in the end he could only fight to the death with the 1st Division, resulting in heavy casualties in the 2nd Division.

For example, Hu Jingyi originally planned the 4th Division to block and gain time, integrate all the troops in Chengdu, and then meet the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army. Later, the plan had to be changed to sweep away the resistance in Chengdu, defend the city, and at the same time ask for help from the Beiyang Army. And now, with Wang Mo leading the independent division to Chengdu, it has become a dream to defend the city.

A truly clever military commander has always been guided by the situation and adapted to local conditions. As for the legendary military masters who are thousands of miles away, they control the hearts and minds of the people, not the war itself.

Because of this, Wang Mo did not arrogantly lead the independent division that is now strong and capable to attack the 1st Division, but took over the defense of the 2nd Division in the west of the city.

While waiting for Wang Haoshan to lead the follow-up troops to rush over, Wang Mo made a big noise in Chengdu, condemning Hu Jingyi for colluding with Yuan Shikai to frame Yin Dujun, and asking the Sichuan Provincial Council to impeach Hu Jingyi.

At this moment, there was a gloomy cloud in the Sichuan military government, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Overseer, did President Yuan really agree to send troops into Sichuan? Where is the Beiyang Army now? Zhou Jun couldn't help but open his mouth to ask Hu Jingyi, he really doubted whether the Beiyang Army reinforcements that Hu Jingyi said were true, otherwise why hadn't there been any movement until now.

To be honest, Hu Jingyi himself wondered if he had been given up by President Yuan, otherwise why would there be no news about the telegram sent to Beijing asking for help like a mud cow entering the sea? However, he knew very well that as long as he showed the slightest thought, he would definitely become a loner in an instant.

Therefore, Hu Jingyi could only nod calmly and said: "Ji Shan, don't worry, President Yuan's reply message has already arrived, but it always takes time to mobilize troops." You take the 1st division and hold on, fight for a few more days. To ensure a good passage out of the city, it is really not possible, we will leave Chengdu for the time being, and wait for the Beiyang Army to enter Sichuan and come back. ”

Zhou Jun thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, but I'm afraid that my 1st Division alone won't be able to hold for long, and it's better for the Overseers to prepare to evacuate Chengdu as soon as possible." ”

As the two spoke, there was a sudden commotion outside the room, and shortly afterwards an officer of the 1st Division ran in with a panicked look and reported, "Overseer, 5th Division, 6th Division, and ...... And the 4th Division has entered the city. ”

It's coming so fast!

Zhou Jun and Hu Jingyi's faces changed greatly, although they had been mentally prepared, but when it came to this moment, they couldn't help but be frightened and panicked.

After Wang Haoshan led the 4th, 5th, and 6th divisions into the city, it caused a great shock to people from all walks of life in Chengdu, and everyone understood that Hu Jingyi was gone.

What surprised Wang Mo was that Hu Jingyi and Zhou Jun knew that the general trend was gone, so they did not evacuate Chengdu with the 1st Division, but built a defensive line in the neighborhoods in the east and south of the city, putting on a posture of defending to the end.

Wang Haoshan and Wang Mo took a large number of high-ranking officers of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to the frontline positions in the east and south of the city to check the situation.

The 1st Division's defensive line was very tightly arranged, the streets were full of all kinds of makeshift bunkers, and many houses on both sides were forcibly requisitioned to set up firing points. It is very difficult to break through this layered blockade.

Wang Mo put down his binoculars and asked the officers: "How to fight this battle, what do you all think, tell me about it." ”

Hao Gang took the lead and said: "How do you want to fight, our strength is so much stronger than them, just rush in directly." Lao Tzu doesn't believe that only one 1st division can stop tens of thousands of horses in our three divisions! ”

In this way, there are still many officers who echo the statement that they rushed in directly without a head or brain, which really made Wang Mo speechless, the time for the rise of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was too short after all, and the tactical quality of the officers did not keep up.

At this time, Li Jian stood up and said: "Young marshal, I think that this must not be the case!" Although our army has an absolute advantage in the battle situation, but if it rushes so stupidly, even if it can annihilate the 1st Division, our army is bound to pay a huge price in casualties! ”

Hao Gang suddenly stopped, glared at Li Jian and said angrily: "You melon baby, who are you stupid?" ”

Li Jian ignored Hao Gang and continued to say to Wang Mo: "I think that our army can use targeted elimination and advance the fighting method layer by layer, which can not only greatly reduce the casualties of our army, but also may be able to suppress the 1st Division until it breaks up and flees!" ”

Hao Gang snorted disapprovingly, and said: "What kind of targeted elimination, advancing layer by layer, I think you are playing tricks!" ”

Li Jian was about to explain in detail the tactic of "targeted elimination and layer by layer", but Wang Mo stopped him with a wave of his hand, and then asked the officers: "Can anyone understand what is going on with Li Jian's tactic of 'targeted elimination and advancing layer by layer'?" ”

Wang Mo has always paid great attention to instilling in the officers around him the strategic and tactical concepts he led from later generations during wartime. There was no way, and the conditions were limited, so he could only improve the military command ability of the officers through this method of teaching by word and deed.

The old-school officer Li still has smart people, Ge Changchun stood up and said: "Young marshal, I think that the targeted elimination should be the firepower point of the 1st Division, and this layer of advance should refer to our army's step-by-step advancement, gradually advancing and compressing the defensive range of the 1st Division, and finally forcing the 1st Division to collapse and flee, I don't know if this means?" ”

Wang Mo nodded and said: "Commander Ge is right, Li Jian's tactic is to clear the firepower points of the 1st Division first, and then gradually compress the defensive circle of the 1st Division. Although it takes longer, it is more secure, do you have any comments on this? ”

The officers looked at each other, and no one could say anything. Many of them were still wondering what this tactic was all about and where else to come up with their opinions.

"Alright, Mo'er, you don't have to test them anymore. If there is any arrangement, you can deploy it directly. Wang Haoshan said that he knew that his son must have better tactics.

Dad said so, and Wang Mo could only say: "On the whole, I agree to adopt the 'targeted killing, layer by layer' tactic proposed by Li Jian. However, I want to make a supplement to this foundation, that is, to capture the thief and capture the king first. ”

Speaking of this, Li Jian suddenly shouted: "I understand, what the young marshal means is that while our army is advancing and oppressing the 1st Division layer by layer, it will organize one or two elite troops to raid and capture Zhou Jun and Hu Jingyi. As long as they are solved, the 1st Division will naturally surrender without a fight! ”

Hearing Li Jian's words, the officers of the Chongqing Independent Division all suddenly realized that capturing the thief and capturing the king first (the so-called decapitation tactic under this contempt, which is a copy of Chi Guoguo) is a typical special warfare style, and these officers from the special operations battalion naturally understand it easily.

The rest of the officers also reacted one after another, and basically thought it was a clever move. That's right, as long as Zhou Jun and Hu Jingyi are taken, then it will be much easier to annihilate or force land the 1st Division.

"That's a good idea." Wang Haoshan also agreed with this, and asked, "But, Mo'er, who are you going to let lead the raid?" ”

As soon as Wang Haoshan asked, all the officers looked at Wang Mo with blank eyes, what a great credit it was to capture Zhou Jun and Hu Jingyi, no one wanted to get this opportunity.

Although there may be some blows against old-school officers, Wang Mo still said: "Father, this kind of special combat style may be more suitable for the independent division I brought out, so I decided to draw two hundred elites from each of the three regiments of the independent division to form three elite troops to break through from three directions." ”

The old-school officers complained a little bit about Wang Mo's partiality, but they didn't dare to say it after all, and they were indeed not very suitable for this flexible and changeable style of play.

The specific tactical play, generally Wang Mo said it, it was basically the final word, and it was more effective than Wang Haoshan's order.

Soon, the Independent Division, the 5th Division, and the 6th Division, which was responsible for assisting in the operation, all launched combat operations, and pressed the 1st Division's defensive line in the east and south of the city.

The machine gun group suppressed the fire, the sharpshooters occupied the commanding heights for fixed-point clearance, the grenades killed at close range, and the southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army advanced layer by layer, step by step, and every front caused great pressure on the 1st Division, forcing them to retreat step by step and shrink the defensive circle.

In this way, the 1st Division was pressed on the whole line, and it was also to better cover the three assault troops. As long as the forces of the 1st Division's defensive lines were pinned, it would be absolutely difficult to mobilize troops in a hurry to intercept and kill the raiding troops.

Night falls.

Three elite troops drawn from the independent division stood solemnly in front of Wang Mo, Wang Mo did not intend to personally lead the team in this raid, and it was time to let these officers brought out by him personally play on their own, otherwise they would never be able to grow up.

"You're attacking from the north, west, and south, and as for where your target is, the Secret Service operatives will signal you when they arrive! Remember, act quickly and decisively, do you understand? Wang Mo instructed.

Syllable!

Everyone touched their heels and replied in unison: "Understood! ”

"Then act!" Wang Mo waved his hand and gave the order to act.

Then the six hundred elites split into three strands and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Wang Mo has high hopes for Lu Dayong, Li Jian, Zhang Wei and others who led the team this time. After the reunification of Sichuan, it was inevitable that Yuan Shikai's attention would be aroused, and the Sichuan army was likely to face the threat of the powerful Beiyang Army.

If you want to wrestle with a strong army like the Beiyang Army, then the Sichuan Army cannot continue to follow the rigid and conservative combat style of old-school officers such as Wang Haoshan and Hao Gang.

The war of the future is all about firepower and mobility!

Therefore, Wang Mo has always used special operations operations to temper and cultivate the alert and flexible operational thinking and concepts of his young officers, which can be regarded as a method for non-professional officers to quickly develop.

In the Celestial Empire of another time and space, there were many grassroots officers in that army who could not read big characters, and their tactical concepts were also cultivated in skirmishes again and again.
