Chapter 287: Yalu River

When Long Yuhui stood on the edge of the Yalu River, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, this military operation always gave him a feeling. It seems to be controllable, and it seems to have happened. The staff officers in the Ministry of National Defense are not very clear about some things on the border between China and North Korea.

But they still made this plan to send troops, including the specific place of entry, time and so on. Could it be that the group of staff officers have been here in person? Long Yuhui wouldn't believe this anyway, let alone those who stayed in the Ministry of Defense all day, even Long Yuhui, a person who ran around the world all day long, had never been here.

It's just that what Long Yuhui doesn't know is that these locations and whatnots were all proposed by Wang Lin himself. Then the Ministry of Defense will cooperate with the comrades of the Intelligence Department to inspect the terrain at the scene, and then report the specific information to the Ministry of Defense, and then the staff officers will make specific plans.

Feeling a cool river breeze blowing across his face, letting the cold wind cross his face, Long Yuhui stood quietly on the side of the Yalu River, staring into the distance.

War is coming, although Long Yuhui personally loves war, but Long Yuhui is also the most afraid of war. Yes, it is true that he is most afraid of war. Judging from Long Yuhui's past performance, he is indeed a soldier who loves war very much, and his love for war is no less than that of any person.

Long Yuhui's fear came from Jia Shaojie and the unknown little warrior. Since Jia Shaojie, Long Yuhui has faintly shadowed the war, and Long Yuhui is afraid that in the battle, countless soldiers like Jia Shaojie will pour out. In this way, it will only make him feel more guilty. Who says soldiers don't have love? It's just that they never explained it.

"Commander-in-chief, the guide sent by the North Korean side has arrived." A signal soldier from the headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Corps hurriedly ran to Long Yuhui and reported.

Since coming here, Long Yuhui's side has always been surrounded by a group of people, and there are too many things for him to deal with. Arrangements for the stationing of army units, as well as marching offensives. The coordination and defense of the air force units, as well as the encirclement of the open sea by the naval forces. All of this needs to be taken care of by Long Yuhui, the navy and the air force or something, Long Yuhui doesn't understand, but Long Yuhui is also their temporary boss no matter what he says.

If there is anything, he naturally needs to report it to his boss, and Long Yuhui can't take them back directly, so he can only check it hastily and sign and agree. Anyway, I don't understand these things, so instead of offending people here, it's better to let go and let them do it themselves.

Originally, controlling more than 500,000 troops was enough for Long Yuhui to have a headache, but he really didn't expect that there would be so many troops for him to command this time. Long Yuhui, who had never had experience in commanding a large corps, had to ponder this time.

The last time I fought with the Russian army, although it was also a large corps, the number of people was not more than half of what it is now. There is also Chen Mingjie working in the back, and Long Yuhui, the commander-in-chief, basically only manages the affairs of the 56th Division, so there is no big problem. However, Chen Mingjie explained a lot of experience and methods to Long Yuhui, and then studied in Hainan for a year, and now he knows almost everything.

In the end, he finally had the opportunity to practice, and Long Yuhui really discovered that it was not easy to be a commander. So many things have to be solved by the commander alone, at least take a look, right? You need to know the approximate location and general situation of each unit, right? If you don't even know this, then how will the battle plan be arranged in the future?

Long Yuhui, who has been here for five days, has never slept well one night, and every time he sleeps, he definitely does not sleep for more than four hours. Although Long Yuhui is quite young now and can withstand such suffering, it has been a long time, even if it is made of steel, it will be dragged down, right?

Long Yuhui, who was worried and didn't know what to do, was awakened by this foreign voice. After clearing his mind, Long Yuhui replied slowly: "Well, I know, assign them to various troops, let them pay attention to the words and deeds of these guides, and don't capsize in the gutter." ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" The Signal Soldier saluted, then turned and left.

Immediately, Long Yuhui waved his hand at another communication soldier not far behind him, since Long Yuhui came here, he had to follow more than three communication soldiers behind him at all times, otherwise sometimes he really couldn't deal with it.

"Inform the Third Army to start erecting pontoon bridges immediately, and they must be completed by tomorrow morning." Long Yuhui said in a low voice.

Seeing that the time for the attack was approaching, it was really inconvenient to cross the river by boat, and there was no army on the opposite side to defend, only a part of the Korean army was lazily squatting. Crossing the river by boat is really not as fast as building a pontoon bridge.

What's more, the Third Army, an engineer unit, already has a professional pontoon bridge construction unit, and they are still equipped with an all-steel bridge deck, which only needs to be thrown into the water and then fastened two sections. And most importantly, such a pontoon bridge, which could be used by Soviet-style tanks.

With a weight of more than 30 tons, how many bridges can afford it? And there are hundreds of them here. Even if it is an all-steel pontoon, it must not pass more than three vehicles at a time, and watching the TV show, it is often possible to accommodate dozens of tanks and armored vehicles to pass through it together on a wooden pontoon bridge. I wonder what they think? Just dare to take it out to fool people? Could it be that the wood they have is stronger than the superhard material, or the steel?

With hundreds of tanks, it takes almost half a day to cross the river alone, and there are still hundreds of thousands of troops here. It wasn't until he really sat in the position of commander that Long Yuhui understood that the battle of the large corps really needed a certain command art.

"Old Dragon, why are you running here alone again? It can't be a touch of love, right? Chen Mingjie is still Long Yuhui's deputy and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Corps. It's just that this time, Chen Mingjie didn't take over all the tasks in a big way.

This time, Chen Mingjie only does his own tasks and will never share Long Yuhui's affairs. Even if he Chen Mingjie had experience in this area, before Long Yuhui asked him, he would never come up and tell people what to do. If you want to train a qualified commander, it is not so easy to do, let alone a person who can study casually for a few days.

Without actual combat drills and the edification of war, even an ordinary soldier would not be a real soldier, let alone a commander. Wang Lin's meaning Chen Mingjie also knew in his heart that the people who could come to this point today understood everything in their hearts. So the higher you go, the more jealous you feel, but not as severe as below.

What's more, for Long Yuhui, Chen Mingjie is personally very optimistic about him. Dare to fight, dare to fight, dare to act, and is really a model for soldiers.

"Hey, it's nothing, in this realm of touching the scene, don't you think I have this kind of awareness?" Long Yuhui shook his head a little speechlessly, although the two of them are subordinate and subordinate relationships, they are also called buddies in Pingyue, and they like to get together to chat with each other about anything.

"How not? I heard that your kid has learned a lot of good things in Hainan, otherwise how could he have just come back and directly sat on the throne of our commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Corps? Chen Mingjie laughed and said very casually. He really couldn't figure it out, what was Long Yuhui doing in Hainan? Why is it that Wang Lin didn't want to do such an important thing, so he directly handed it over to Long Yuhui to do? Even if you want to give Long Yuhui the opportunity to develop, you must always grow from small to large, from deputy to positive and slowly accumulate experience, right?

But this Long Yuhui is good, he lived in prison for a year, and after he came back, he didn't do anything, but his position was greatly improved. Of course, this is not that Chen Mingjie is jealous of Long Yuhui's fate, but that he is very curious, really curious. How can there be such a big difference between this person? It's really more expensive to throw away, and people are more angry than people.

"Hehe, over there in Hainan, I did learn some theories about the operation of the large corps, otherwise I would not be able to stand it if I stayed there for a year to eat and drink. And I'm the only one over there, except for me, there are only guards, and it's usually hard to find someone to talk to. As for why I sat directly in this position, today we are brothers, I will not talk nonsense with you or anything, to be honest, even I don't know why I sat in this position. Long Yuhui said extremely seriously, this is not only Chen Mingjie's mystery, but also Long Yuhui's mystery.

"When the emperor told me the news, I was also surprised, in terms of experience and position, it was not my turn to do this position. I asked the emperor why, but the emperor said that the country needs a desperate Saburo. ”

"Haha, desperate Saburo, I think I understand." After hearing Long Yuhui's words, Chen Mingjie, who has always been a good head, summed up the orders issued by the Ministry of Defense before. Chen Mingjie can easily guess why Long Yuhui is in this position.

From his usual words and deeds, today's fate has been decided. Long Yuhui's decisive killing is not something they can do, in foreign wars, what they need is fierce, can give people the image of a demon, and try not to give people the feeling of angels. They don't need to be gentle with outsiders.

"By the way, Lao Chen, there is something I want to ask you."

"Hehe, two of us, what do you want to ask for advice or not? Whatever you ask, as long as I know, I will not hide it. ”

"I just want to ask, when you were helping me, were you also tired and didn't have time to rest all day?" Long Yuhui stared at Chen Mingjie with his eyes, for fear of missing an important link.

"Hehe, this is actually not that difficult, at the beginning, I saw you working so hard, to be honest, I also wanted to run over and tell you some of the tricks, but at this time, if you haven't found the problem yourself, I will run over and tell you, things tend to get worse. Since you are asking now, I will not hide it, and I will take this opportunity today to tell you everything that needs to be said. Chen Mingjie said seriously, it seemed that he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"In fact, as the commander of the three armed forces, you don't need to do everything yourself, your staff group, in addition to helping you make suggestions, the chief of staff also needs to help you share some things, some things that are not very important, generally decided by the chief of staff, and the important ones will be handed over to you. Of course, there is a downside to this, which is that you are likely to miss out on something you want to know. But again, in this way, everyone's work is much easier, and the work efficiency has improved a lot. ”

The Staff Committee? Does the Staff still have this function? In the past, when Long Yuhui was still in the 56th Division, the main work of the staff group was only to give advice to Long Yuhui and formulate some detailed operational plans. As for what military affairs or something, it is basically handled by Long Yuhui alone, and it is almost the same now.

It's just that the number of the fifty-sixth division is much smaller in comparison, so it doesn't seem so tiring to be busy, and now that Long Yuhui suddenly commands more than 500,000 people, he is really a little uncomfortable for a while. I didn't expect that I just thought that the difference in position was just a difference in work. Now I fully understand that the difference in positions means that everything starts from scratch.

"Well, I see." Long Yuhui nodded heavily, such a simple thing, Long Yuhui, who was blocked by his thoughts, couldn't think of this anyway. People are just so weird, sometimes things that seem to be very simple, but they just can't do it, they can't think of it. The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused.

"You kid, I don't know about you yet? I'm afraid your staff is now in the 56th Division, right? Chen Mingjie smiled helplessly.

"Yes, when I was in prison a year ago, the Staff Corps was left to the 56th Division. After all, they have been in the 56th Division for a long time, and they still know a lot about the situation of the 56th Division, anyway, I don't know when they will come out, so I left them there. But even if they didn't stay there, now they are not necessarily suitable for serving as the corps commander's staff committee, and they have no experience in this level of work, so it is no problem to upgrade, but this skip is not guaranteed. Long Yuhui nodded.

He came here as a commander of a light pole, and in addition to bringing the two hundred guards given to him by Wang Lin, he only brought a few clothes. Fortunately, there is no phenomenon of gangs and factions in the current army, and I also admire the airborne faction of Long Yuhui's level. Who makes the family affectionate and righteous, and dares to act? If you fight with such a person, it is worth dying. If this were not the case, I am afraid that Long Yuhui would not dare to come here empty-handed. Anyway, you have to restore the post of commander of the 56th Division first, right?

"Well, transfer a few people from my staff group first, and then return them to me when you find the right person later. The people I have there have all come out with me, and they have some experience in this kind of large corps combat, at least they won't be blinded. Chen Mingjie thought about it, and said angrily despite Long Yuhui.

The commander borrowed people from others, and he borrowed people from the staff group, and if he said it, it would really make people laugh out of their big teeth. A dignified corps commander, doesn't he have a few decent staff officers under his hands? If it were someone else, he wouldn't agree to be killed.

Long Yuhui thought about it carefully, but did not object, but agreed very smoothly. Long Yuhui's current status is not low in China. In the hearts of the people, it has established a good image. In addition, he has just been released from prison, and the staff group under his command is in the 56th Division, so it is normal for him to have no one under him.

And this time he borrowed someone from Chen Mingjie, although the other party is the deputy commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Corps, but in the eyes of the outside world, there will always be a little ulterior secret between the deputy position and the main position. Or a contradiction, or something. Long Yuhui borrowed someone from Chen Mingjie, first of all, it shows that Long Yuhui will not bring personal feelings into his work in the face of national affairs.

No matter who you are, as long as you are talented and can take on great responsibilities, you can work under me for so long. At the same time, it also shows that Chen Mingjie's subordinates are talented, and they are not small-bellied, and it is not possible for anyone to lend their subordinates to others for use.

What's more, the relationship between Chen Mingjie and Long Yuhui is not what the outside world imagined. The outside world guessed that when Long Yuhui arrived at the army, he would definitely have some conflicts with his deputy. Of course, it is reasonable for conflicts to occur. But what they didn't expect was that Long Yuhui and Chen Mingjie were brothers who were like brothers and sisters and talked about everything.

The most important thing is that Long Yuhui knows that Chen Mingjie will not harm him, and Chen Mingjie also knows that Long Yuhui will not design him.

"Well, everything that should be solved is settled, and it is said that the night before the war is the quietest. Now that I've realized it again, let's go, go back and get some good sleep, after today, it's unlikely that I want to sleep well again. Chen Mingjie happily patted Long Yuhui's shoulder.

"Well, yes! As soon as the battle begins, it will be completely sleepless for many nights, and how many soldiers will lose their lives. Let's go back and get a good night's sleep, and starting tomorrow, we both have to do our best to end the war as soon as possible. Then so that the soldiers can come back alive, go home alive to see their parents, it is also considered that we have done our duty, and we do not have to live in guilt all day when we are old. ”
