[Chapter Word Count:3230Last Updated:2015-02-1108:51:24.0]

I have to say that Zhang Wentian really dared to fight hard when he started a battle, especially the battle of grabbing turf.

It took four and a half days to go, but when I came back, I ignored my little wife's protest that it was too bumpy, and I returned to the brigade headquarters in just one night and half a day. Halfway through, he received the orders that had been prepared by the various ministries to apply for an attack, and he could not wait to issue the order to attack by radio.

threw his little wife down at the gate of the city, didn't even return home, and got off the unit directly with the command headquarters. When he left, he only explained five words to Wang Shihua - take care of the family.

Last year, he fought with the Tian family and commanded hundreds of people, which made Wang Shihua very excited, and now he is even more enthusiastic. Similarly, he didn't even return home, and went headlong into the nominal staff. Although he did not personally command, thanks to the network of contacts in the past six months, Wang Shihua let the people who stayed behind in the general staff know for the first time the actual state of the war. To put it mildly, even if he wants to know where a certain company is attacking, he can get an accurate answer through guò relations.

Of course, he and the two staff officers who were excluded from the air also only had to deduce on the map, but even so, for Tian Weiguo and Wang Dongqing, it was also a big difference in treatment -- in the past, even if they asked, others would either talk about it, or laugh and say nothing, that is, they would not be offended.

"Shihua, you don't think that our battle was too smooth?"

In the entire staff headquarters, Wang Shihua, Wang Dongqing, and Tian Weiguo were left, and even the two dogs of the temporary orderlies were driven out of the door. The three of them had already known each other, and they were not so particular, one of them held a bowl and expressed his opinion on the map while eating.

"You see, apart from the enemy's main regiment, which is attacking the defensive positions of the fourth regiment with all its might, the enemy has almost no intention of fighting. The enemy's 2nd and 3rd regiments did not enter the ambush circle set up by our side at all, but lingered around the periphery. The enemy's 4th Regiment was originally defending Nghe An County and had a very strong combat effectiveness, and the 3rd Regiment was originally tasked with holding it back, and after the 1st and 2nd Regiments repelled the enemy's reinforcements, the 3rd Regiment joined forces to encircle Nghe An County. However, the 3rd Regiment only tentatively attacked in advance, and they actually took the initiative to withdraw after a symbolic resistance, but they deployed defenses fifteen miles east of Nghe An County, and now they are in a state of stalemate with the 3rd Regiment, and they also do not advance or retreat, so that they have dragged us back. Don't you think this kind of thing is abnormal, both of you? ”

Wang Shihua nodded, thought about it, and said: "I remember that the two of you said before: when the strength is about the same, the smoother the battle, the more ambush there is. But now that our side is attacking on all fronts, the other side should have no extra men and horses to do anything else. ”

Then he drew a circle on the map with his finger: "It has been ascertained that no third party has been found around us or the enemy, that is, everyone's strength is about the same." ”

The three of them all frowned and put down the dishes and chopsticks, Wang Shihua took out a cigarette and handed it to the two, and the smoke in the war room began to linger for many days.

"Not good!" Suddenly, Wang Shihua put out the half-smoked paper cigarette in his hand in the ashtray fiercely, as if he wanted to pinch an ant to death. He shouted at the two pairs of looking at him: "This qiē shows that the other party is setting a cage for us." ”

Wang Shihua walked quickly to the map, pointed to the position of the enemy's second and third regiments wandering outside the ambush circle with his baton, and said hurriedly: "We have been troubled by the enemy's strength just now, but if these two regiments are just bluffing, but in fact they are secretly Chen Cang and sneak attack our rear, then we will be in trouble." ”

Tian Weiguo stood up solemnly and shouted: "Yes, only in this way can we explain clearly." ”

After that, the three of them looked at the map and frowned again: where is the enemy going to sneak attack?

"Two, let's think about it from another angle: if you are the Bull Demon King, where will you choose to attack, so that you will benefit the most and hit the commander the most?"

The two of them shook their bodies, looked at each other, and shouted at the same time: "Tiger Prison County!" ”

"That's right! Hugao County is our home base, both strategically and practically, far larger than the other two counties. ”

Speaking of which, the three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they all found a trace of fear in each other's eyes: all the troops were sent out, and only the second-line forces remained in Hujiao County: the city defense regiment (about 1,200 people), the police station (about 200 people), and the tax soldiers (about 300 people).

"Ergouzi, you go and invite Cuiyun to come." Wang Shihua threw away the baton and rushed out, and the other two hurriedly followed, but when they came to the door of Lao Yuan's office, the two took the initiative to retreat: there are some things, and their participation in them is counterproductive.

Lao Yuan is the director of the logistics department, the highest level, and he is the general person in charge of the rear designated by Zhang Wentian, so this matter can only be reported to him first.

Although he had not received formal military training, the sensitivity he had cultivated through his years of military career made him immediately agree with this analysis after listening to Wang Shihua's report. But although he is old-fashioned, he is enterprising, and he does not dare to make decisions without authorization, but wants to ask Zhang Wentian for instructions.

The group came to the telegraph room, took a telegram to Zhang Wentian, briefly explained Wang Shihua's judgment and reasons, and asked Zhang Wentian for authorization.

Half an hour later, Zhang Wentian's call back came, but it made Lao Yuan stunned, which made Wang Shihua a little flattered: Wang Shihua was actually authorized to take full command. And let them hold on for three days, and after three days reinforcements will come.

"Brother Wang, it seems that the commander trusts you very much!"

Wang Shihua couldn't hear the other party's taste, and said bluntly: "Old Yuan, you don't know, I can't stay here all the time, this may be the last time I command our loyal brigade...... Lao Yuan, I won't say much, this mission is very dangerous, whether this ship will sink or not depends on us. ”

Lao Yuan naturally heard these two powerful points, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, if there is anything you can help, you just have to talk about it." ”

Wang Shihua hugged his fist to the other party to show his gratitude. After walking back and forth in the room a few times, Zhengse said: "Old Yuan, you are experienced, if there is something wrong with my deployment, you must correct it." ”

Seeing that Lao Yuan Zhengse nodded, Wang Shihua continued: "Notify the other two county towns and ask them to pay attention to defense...... Immediately disperse all the guards, take Hujiao County as the center, and find out if there is an enemy within 30 miles around, Lao Tian, you are good at this, you are responsible for it...... Hit the city's defense regiments, police, and tax collectors. Lao Wang, it's up to you to do this...... The guards and servants of the big families in the city let them take my prayers and collect them from one family to another...... There are also young people, recruited on the spot, and those who do not cooperate will be arrested by the police, and then they will be given weapons to assist in defending the city. Lao Yuan, you are a veteran in logistics, don't be stingy at this time......"

At this moment, Zhang Cuiyun came with Iron Stone and Ergouzi. Wang Shihua was not polite, and said directly: "Cuiyun, you immediately write a letter and ask people to ride fast horses and go to Zhangjiabao to ask for reinforcements." Then you go to Zhang's Mansion immediately, and you must let the commander's family withdraw first and escort them all the way to Zhangjiabao. ”

If the enemy is really attacked by two regular regiments, in such a situation, the county town will not be able to hold it at all, and Zhang Wentian will not blame him, but if Zhang Wentian's family is damaged or captured, let alone be a son-in-law, it is difficult to say whether he can return home safely.

"What about you?"

"I'm in command, and I can withdraw if I want, and there will be no danger."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that everyone was going out, Lao Yuan suddenly asked, "Shihua, is this news blocked?" ”

This is the benefit of experience, and it points out at a glance where Wang Shihua has omitted.

After Wang Shihua hesitated for a moment, he frowned and said, "Before you get the exact news, block the news." ”

Under a series of deployments, one order after another was conveyed, and the high-level of the entire Hujiao County were mobilized, only the people were still kept in the dark and lived a peaceful life.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! Wang Shihua can only do his best. But this was his first time commanding, and he was fighting a defensive battle, so he had no experience at all. His seemingly perfect deployments are actually full of loopholes.

First of all, there are the city defense regiments and tax soldiers. A few commanders knew that the situation was better, but because they gave a gag order, they were not good at telling their subordinates, so they had to use the majesty of the past to oppress. But there are so many people under his command, no one is stupid, and when he saw that these two thousand people were gathered, he knew that something big was going to happen, and he suddenly made a fuss...... As a last resort, Wang Shihua asked people to prepare food and drink for them, and then they held it off.

The police went to the street to arrest the strong men, and as a result, the people here were fierce, and there were actually stabbing and injuring people...... Wang Shihua had an idea and changed this article to a reward: the police recruited them heavily. At this time, the applicants were enthusiastic, and more than 500 strong people were recruited immediately.

Zhang's side is also not smooth: the old lady has a temper, and she has to see her son before leaving, and others can only stay. Wang Shihua, who was busy burning his buttocks, had no choice but to let the subordinates of the Zhang Mansion pack the valuables of the Zhang Mansion and transport them out of the city as soon as possible, so that the company of people who protected the Zhang Mansion was ready to cover the retreat of the Zhang family at any time.

In this case, it is impossible to block the news. Under Lao Yuan's suggestion, Wang Shihua humbly accepted it and immediately complied: instead of letting the rumors fly all over the sky, it is better to take the initiative to break it and then guide it.

Under a series of accidents, Wang Shihua was busy with dizziness, but none of the news was good.

An hour and a half later, he finally got two slightly useful pieces of news: the Bull Demon King really sent his second and third regiments to attack Tiger Prison County. Among them: the second regiment is less than 30 miles away from Hugao County, and the third regiment is a little slower, and there is still a distance of nearly 20 kilometers from Hugao County.

"So accurate?" Wang Shihua frowned, then looked at the communication soldier with a murderous face, and asked, "How did you know this news?" ”

It's only been an hour and a half, and your fast horses are so fast? Don't fool me for the sake of merit, right?

"Sir, these two pieces of information were intercepted by us halfway through, and they are absolutely accurate: when the enemy passed through the village, the local magnates did not dare to resist, but they sent men on fast horses and detoured the path to inform us first. We stopped us halfway......"

"Immediately release the message and let the people evacuate."

At this moment, Wang Dongqing ran in to report: The strong people who had been temporarily recruited in the name of the police heard the news and were making a fuss at this time. Fortunately, they haven't been shot yet, otherwise, they might have been beaten by the police and tax collectors by this time.

Wang Shihua frowned again, and asked Lao Yuan on the side, "Old Yuan, are you ready?" ”

Seeing Lao Yuan nodding, Wang Shihua got up and walked out quickly......
