Hearing He Yingqin's foul language, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but be stunned, He Yingqin has always promised himself to be a Confucian general, knowledgeable, easy-going, and very respected by Huangpu classmates, but now he is actually scolding foul language, and the situation on the front line seems to be very unoptimistic.

"The headmaster sent me to see what's going on at the front." Zhuang Jihua explained to Wang Jun the purpose of Chiang Kai-shek's sending him, and then explained the surname and added: "Originally, the principal was going to come in person, but we stopped him." ”

Wang Jun nodded to show that he understood.

"The front is not going well, the first regiment has launched four charges in a row, and even Jiang Wushan has been beaten down, you see that the brigade commander is also in a hurry."

Jiang Xianyun has been beaten down? Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised, he didn't understand how these double-spearmen suddenly had such tenacious combat effectiveness. You must know that the first regiment is the earliest formed unit, and it is a regiment trained by He Yingqin himself, and the junior officers have experienced the baptism of the bloody battle of Mianhu, and their combat effectiveness and will to fight are the strongest among the three regiments.

"Wushan has been beaten down! Aren't the Dian army all double-spearmen, how can their combat effectiveness be so strong? ”

Wang Jun shook his head and expressed his disapproval of Zhuang Jihua's words:

"Yes, it was because of this that we concluded that their combat effectiveness was not strong. But I didn't expect that...., the brigade commander knew more about them. Regiment Commander Shen also once said this, and the brigade commander at that time said not to underestimate the double spearmen, these double spearmen are actually very capable of fighting, especially defense. ”

"I told them not to underestimate the enemy, don't underestimate the enemy, I always thought that the combat effectiveness of the double spearmen was poor, but I never thought that the frontal enemy was the main force of Yang Ximin's main force, it was his guard regiment, and almost all the officers and soldiers followed him to participate in the war against Yuan Huguo, the Sichuan melee, and the veterans who fought against Tang Jiyao, don't look at them with a smoking gun in one hand and a rifle in the other, they can shoot while smoking." He Yingqin said coldly to the two of them, after he put down the phone, he couldn't help but get angry again when he heard the words of the two of them. When he first arranged it, he repeatedly emphasized not to underestimate the enemy, not to underestimate the enemy, but the result was still a mess.

"Smoking and shooting? How do they do it? Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised and a little puzzled, smoking opium is not smoking cigarettes, opium has a paralyzing effect on the nerves, which is why smoking opium is always smoked lying down, because the feeling of fluttering and flying clouds after addiction is not suitable for doing anything.

"I don't know, I heard the officers below say it when I was begging Yuan, but I didn't ask in detail at that time." He Yingqin frowned and said. Zhuang Jihua thought about it or went to the front to take a look, there was no benefit in staying here. So he said goodbye to He Yingqin and Wang Jun: "Brigade Commander He, Chief of Staff Wang, I'll go to the front to take a look, I can only cause chaos for you here." ”

When Zhuang Jihua arrived at the regimental headquarters, the fifth charge of the first regiment had already begun, and he did not greet the regiment commander Liu Zhi, but found a telescope to observe the battle.

The direction of attack of a regiment is not the main peak of Longyan Cave, but the high ground on its left side, the purpose is to capture the place and then attack to Longyan Cave, after the attacking troops cross the halfway up the mountain, the enemy's shooting becomes ferocious, at a distance of about 100 meters from the enemy's position, the two sides launch a counterfire, the enemy is condescending, a regiment is very disadvantaged, and the enemy is mainly a veteran, the marksmanship is better than that of a regiment of soldiers, after a period of shooting, the attacking troops can not resist and retreat one after another.

After the attacking troops retreated, Zhuang Jihua really saw in the telescope that these soldiers of the Yunnan Army really put down their guns and began to swallow clouds and fog on the position, and he immediately rushed into the regimental command post.

Liu Zhi had been notified by the brigade headquarters that he knew that Zhuang Jihua and Chiang Kai-shek had sent him to the front line to take a look, and the meaning of this look was big or small, of course Liu Zhi wanted to think about it in a big place, but he never saw Zhuang Jihua, and he forgot about him when the battle was tense just now, but then he suddenly appeared.

"Head Liu, look at that." Zhuang Jihua pointed to the enemy's position and said.

Liu Zhi grabbed the binoculars and looked at the opposite side, and saw that the soldiers of the Dian army on the enemy position were smoking opium, and there was nothing else. After thinking about it, he understood that Zhuang Jihua must have never seen anything like smoking opium between battles.

"Cultural Revolution, don't be surprised, it's not the first time they've done this. Now send someone up, and they'll put down their smoking guns and keep fighting. We've tried. Liu Zhi said sullenly. Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, he thought that this was the enemy's addiction to smoking, and he was enjoying it, and now it was an opportunity to go up.

After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he did not put down the telescope and shouted: "Chief of Staff, report to the brigade headquarters that the fifth offensive of our regiment has failed again, and the sixth offensive is being organized. ”

Zhuang Jihua was disappointed, he also picked up the telescope and looked at the opposite side, but he always had a question in his heart, opium addiction is drug addiction, there is always a time to attack, He Yingqin said that smoking while fighting, it should be this kind of intermittent smoking in battle, it is impossible to take a shot and take a sip, if the attack lasts long enough, it can always survive until the enemy is addicted to smoking, at that time the enemy is paper paste, let alone fighting. But how can we make the attack long enough and keep our fighting spirit alive?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhuang Jihua had an idea, he put down the binoculars and asked Liu Zhi: "Captain Liu, how long does the onset of smoking addiction usually take?" ”

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood, but then shook his head and said, "You want to attack all the way until their addiction to cigarettes kicks in?" Seeing Zhuang Jihua nodded and admitted.

"If we want to do this, we have to put continuous pressure on them, but no company can do it, after the expansion of the troops, there are too many new recruits, and the combat effectiveness has dropped very much, especially the will to fight."

"That's what I think," Zhuang Jihua explained, "you can organize four or five companies, each company can go up and fight for a while, and then the other company will take them and let them go down to rest, and so on and so on, each company will fight for an hour, and five companies will be five hours, and I don't believe they can go five hours without smoking." ”

Liu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he thought about it and said: "Maybe this is a good way, whatever, there is no other way now, try it." Then he turned around and ordered Liu Bingcui, the chief of staff, to call the first battalion commander Jiang Dingwen and the second battalion commander Chen Jiji. The second battalion is the attacking force, the first battalion is the reserve he left behind, and the third battalion is attacking on the left flank, which is also making slow progress at present.

Liu Bingcui also heard Zhuang Jihua's words, he replaced Zhu Tang as the chief of staff of the first regiment, Zhu Tang told Chiang Kai-shek after the Eastern Crusade that he still wanted to go back to school to teach and cultivate talents, so Chiang Kai-shek took advantage of the establishment of the party army to adjust personnel and replaced Zhu Tang with Liu Bingcui, and Zhu Tang took the second phase of students back to school.

Liu Bingcui immediately evaluated this plan in his heart, and felt that the feasibility of this plan was very high, and the withdrawn troops could rest and recuperate, and the soldiers knew that as long as they fought for a while, they could withdraw and recuperate, and they would do their best during the battle, and they could also defend against the enemy's counter-charge when resting.

After Jiang Dingwen and Chen inherited it, Liu Zhi told them Zhuang Jihua's plan, and they also agreed, so the soldiers of the Yunnan army had a headache and found that a ball was like a piece of gummy candy that could not be shaken off, sticking to their bodies, and they left after playing for so many hours, but they walked up and down again and again, and for several hours, their firepower was slightly weak, so they took the opportunity to advance a distance, and after a few hours, the enemy actually stood firm at a distance of about fifty meters.

At the beginning, the commander of the Yunnan army did not realize the purpose of the party army's fighting, and after a long time, he felt that something was wrong, the enemy changed one by one, and the soldiers who replaced them were all new forces, and their own soldiers had been fighting for a long time, and they had already shown fatigue, and a small number of soldiers had stopped shooting regardless of it, and concentrated on smoking opium. Thinking of this, he understood the enemy's purpose, and the enemy was dragging his feet for time, waiting for them to attack the final blow when they became addicted to smoking. Fuck, who came up with this bad idea, but I have to say that the idea has put him in trouble. What to do? Only to drive the enemy away, at least farther away, so that the brethren can rest and smoke opium. So he took advantage of the fact that the enemy's gunfire was slightly weaker and his morale was declining, and before the new rotation of troops arrived, he ordered a counter-charge.

Seeing the Yunnan army launch a counter-charge, Zhuang Jihua knew that this hill had been taken, Liu Zhi and Liu Bingcui also smiled happily, the enemy on the mountain was estimated to be only two companies, Liu Zhi sent six companies to attack in turn, two companies each time, led by a battalion-level officer, the other four companies, two companies down to defend, and the other two companies were ready to attack in the next round.

Sure enough, the counter-charge of the Dian army was led to the bottom of the mountain, and was hit by a group of superior firepower, and the two companies of the first battalion quickly launched an attack on the mountain from the flank, after discovering this situation, the commander of the Dian army was a little panicked, and led the troops to retreat to the mountain, but the soldiers had already crossed, and only a few people retreated to the mountain with him, and before he could gain a firm foothold, Chen Jiji and Jiang Xianyun led the troops to rush into the position, and in an instant, the position collapsed.

After seeing the troops rushing into the enemy's position, Zhuang Jihua said goodbye to Liu Zhi, and he did not return to the brigade headquarters, but directly returned to Chiang Kai-shek's general headquarters.

"The Cultural Revolution, it's back, how is it ahead?" Chiang Kai-shek asked when he saw Zhuang Jihua.

"Report to the principal, the front is going well, and I have already taken the flank position of Longyan Cave when I leave." Zhuang Jihua reported with both feet.

"I heard that it was a rogue tactic you just invented and took it down." Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth, just now on the phone He Yingqin smiled and told him Zhuang Jihua's tactics, and said that the captured Yunnan army battalion commander scolded the party army for their scoundrels. After the 1st Regiment reported this tactic to He Yingqin, He Yingqin immediately popularized him, and the 2nd Regiment also used this tactic to capture the enemy's two positions.

Zhuang Jihua smiled: "What a scoundrel, there are no scoundrels on the battlefield, only victory." Besides, I didn't let them smoke opium. ”

"Yes, that's right, I support it, there are no scoundrels on the battlefield, only victory." Premier Zhou also interjected with a smile on the side: "We are not Song Xianggong, and we don't put on a grand formation. However, the headmaster, the biggest disadvantage of this method of warfare is that it takes too long, and it has great limitations, and what is currently captured is basically the enemy's outpost position, the enemy does not have many troops, and the main position is low and the troops are strong, and I am afraid that it will not work to use this method again. ”

"Director Zhou is right, now it's just to open the stalemate, really turn the situation around, and give the enemy that fatal blow, the principal is ready." Zhuang Jihua said. Director Zhou said "oh", turned his head to Chiang Kai-shek and said, "It turns out that the principal is confident, but he doesn't know when he will show up. ”
