Looking at the independent column that arrived at the siege of Lazikou but did not attack, Lu Dachang, who personally sat in the defensive position of Lazikou, also did not understand what the other party's idea was. Just looking at the Red Army on the other side of the river, he was still very worried.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the army in front of him that almost captured Chairman Jiang alive, to say that Lu Dachang is not afraid at all, it must be a lie. Although he had a main division in his hands, he did not dare to ensure that he would be able to hold Lazikou.

After Zhang Cheng and the main commanders of the division headquarters discussed the battle plan, and even personally went to the front line to personally reconnoitre, He Zhengdao, who paid attention to them, also felt very satisfied. As a commander, you really need to be more meticulous when formulating a battle plan.

At present, with the development and growth of the independent column, He Zhengdao attaches more and more importance to the training of senior commanders. No one is born to fight, and even now, as a commander, he is also growing up through continuous learning.

Although he was a doctor of military science and a special warfare instructor in his previous life, He Zhengdao knew very well that the command and operations he learned in his previous life were more theoretical things. Most importantly, the methods of warfare of the two eras are also very different.

Modern military command operations are more likely to be decisive battles thousands of miles away, electronic warfare, network warfare, air confrontation, and confrontation of integrated arms. And when it comes to this era, most of them are hand-to-hand wars.

Even if he also needs someone to command, but for He Zhengdao, his position is promoted too quickly. This made him feel too. In order to avoid the occurrence of 'one general is incompetent, killing the three armies'. He also needs to learn how to command operations in this era.

As the elite first division of the independent column, the division commander Zhang Cheng and each main regiment commander. They have an equally heavy task. What He Zhengdao has to do is to get them used to fighting on their own and truly learn to stand alone.

In the evening, Zhang Cheng handed the battle plan to him. Looking at the attack plan formulated by Zhang Cheng, He Zhengdao was still very satisfied and said: "Not bad! The frontal assault attracts firepower, and the flanks organize small groups of elite infiltration counterattacks. ”

Hearing the word 'good', Zhang Cheng also seemed relieved. But He Zhengdao paused for a while and said: "With this battle plan, it shouldn't be a problem to take Lazikou." But have you considered, our casualties? ”

In the face of such inquiries. Zhang Cheng said with a wry smile: "Commander, if you want to break through the enemy's heavily defended Lazikou position in the shortest possible time, and if you want to pay the price, it is really difficult for me to think of any way.

However, if the commander could secondment a reconnaissance battalion and they would be in charge of carrying out the infiltration, perhaps I would be a little more sure. The fortifications built by the other side are based only on the equipment in our hands. It's really hard to knock him off.

And I asked about the logistics earlier, and there is not even a tin cylinder here. Even if you want to make an oil drum cannon, you don't have the materials. Therefore, mortars are covered with machine guns. The use of explosives packs to destroy enemy bunkers is also the only feasible way. ”

After explaining, He Zhengdao is actually clear. At a time when there was no such thing as a bazooka. In the face of such a machine gun bunker, only mortars and machine guns were used. It's really hard and hard to solve it without paying a price!

'Alright. The reason why I have taught you to think about how to fight a war is that I hope you will be able to truly stand alone in the future. Speaking of which, as a commander, I am afraid that my combat experience is not as good as that of you many times.

Right now, if I were to command a large corps to fight, I guess I would feel pressured too. You are the same now, you have been promoted too quickly, and you lack the corresponding command and combat experience.

Now that we are away from joining forces with the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, it is only a matter of time before we are left. Northern Shaanxi alone is afraid that it will not be able to accommodate so many of our troops. This means that we need to open up new bases.

As the division commander of the column, it is very likely that you will be released to be in charge of the operational command of an area in the future. Whether it's you or them, you need to have a strategic mindset to control the overall situation, and only then will you not make mistakes.

The reason why one general is incompetent and kills the three armies has been told to you before. Both you and I need to accumulate combat experience. The journey from Gannan to northern Shaanxi is an opportunity for me to learn and progress with you. ’

After listening to He Zhengdao's words, Zhang Cheng was also very moved and said: "Thank you for the commander's teachings, I will definitely be strict with myself, and I will also let them strengthen their learning." Our commanders and fighters of the first division will definitely live up to your expectations! ”

Wrong is the expectation of the party and the people! In the future, don't talk nonsense, the independent column is not my He Zhengdao's troops. The 1st Independent Division is not your Zhang Cheng's army alone, understand? ’

Yes, I remember! ’

Even in the eyes of many people, the independent column is surnamed He, but here in He Zhengdao, he doesn't want people to seize this kind of handle. In fact, to be honest, if there is a choice, He Zhengdao does not want to be the commander of the column.

After becoming the commander, He Zhengdao also felt that dealing with the affairs of the column every day would occupy a lot of his time. If he could, He Zhengdao would prefer to be the commander of an assault team.

In this way, it is possible to both command the battle and personally participate in the battle. Sitting in the back and watching others fight is indeed not the life that He Zhengdao wants. Even He Zhengdao was a little worried, if he continued like this in the future, how could he kill the devil with his own hands?

After handing the battle plan back to Zhang Cheng, He Zhengdao smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a good night's rest tonight." I will order the reconnaissance regiment and send a small detachment to carry out a roundabout infiltration. Tonight, too, send men to harass the enemy on the other side of the river.

Remember, you have to let them rest badly all night. Although I want to attack Minxian County earlier, I don't want to see our warriors fall here. I hope that everyone will be able to reach our new Soviet zone without any problems. ”

'Yes, Commander! Mission completion guaranteed! ’

That night, the reconnaissance group, which had already received the combat order, sent several combat detachments that were good at night raids and climbing. Directly detour behind the enemy's positions on both sides of the canyon, and wait for the attack to be launched at dawn.

For the independent 1st Division, which only conducted reconnaissance during the day but did not attack at all, Lu Dachang, who was guarding Lazikou, also felt anxious and hoped that the attack would start later. It was even hoped that the main force of the Red Army would be able to retreat despite the difficulties.

At least in Lu Dachang's opinion, the Lazikou he guarded was solid. Even if the Red Army fought bravely, the weapons in the hands of his troops were not vegetarians. Hiding in trenches and pillboxes, he could not easily break through his defenses with the Red Army.

The officers and men of Lu Dachang's troops, who were blocking the attack, rejoiced that they had finally spent another safe day. This feeling of mental tension still made these garrisons feel a little tired, but they began to worry about the night attack of the Red Army at night.

It seemed that seeing that the officers and soldiers under him were not in good spirits, Lu Dachang finally gave the order to take turns to rest. At least in his opinion, the Red Army was good at fighting at night. The consequences of letting your guard down are still very serious!

But not long after the rotation order was issued, fierce gunfire suddenly came from the direction of the bridgehead. In the direction of the bridgehead where they were stationed, a string of dazzling bullet sparks suddenly rang out.

'The Red Army is attacking! ’

Hearing the gunshots, many of the defenders who had just fallen asleep desperately got up again in their clothes and quickly entered their previously defended positions. As for Lu Dachang, he even called to inquire about the situation in the direction of the bridgehead.

The battalion commander stationed at the bridgehead was also taken aback when the shots rang out. It was only when he ordered the troops to counterattack that it was discovered that the Red Army had not crossed the river at all. The gunshots seemed to be fired on the other side of the river.

Although some bullets hit their pillboxes. But such a shot naturally does not have any lethality. After listening to the battalion commander's account, Lu Dachang finally said: "Pay attention to the night attack of the Red Army, and report any situation in time." ”

'Yes, Master! ’

The gunfire did not take long before it quickly subsided. What left the defenders of Lazikou speechless was that for a night, almost every hour, gunshots rang out on the other side of the river.

Sometimes, shells even flew into their defensive positions. What shocked the defenders even more was that the shells hit their pillboxes and defensive trenches. If you don't worry, it's a lie.

After tossing all night, looking at his subordinates who had been boiled into rabbits, Lu Dachang gritted his teeth and said, "We have been tricked!" This is the Red Army's tired tactics, and today is only the time for their general offensive. Tell the brethren to cheer me up.

As long as we resist the attack of the Red Army today, we will win this battle. The Red Army did not attack, and everyone stayed in the trenches and pillboxes to squint. You want to beat me with this little trick, it's a fool's dream! ”

Lu Dachang, who scolded a lot, also seemed to realize that today would be an unquiet day. But for the officers and men of the only division, they had a good rest last night. Even the sound of gunfire by the river still did not disturb their sleep.

Early the next morning, looking at the porridge and big meat buns brought by the cooking squad, the officers and men of the whole division knew about it. It's going to be war!

But when it came time to attack, the regiment in charge of the main attack found that the artillery regiment that was moving with them had arrived at the riverside position. Looking at the mortars placed on the other side of the river, the defenders were also a little shocked.

Directly shook the phone to the rear, and said in a nervous tone: "Division, the Red Army, the Red Army is about to cross the river." On the other side of the river, they set up hundreds of mortars. Please send troops to help! ”

Hundreds of cannons? Is this still the Red Army?

Although Lu Dachang, who received the call, did not work, he quickly sent two additional battalions to the bridgehead. Looking at these defenders who entered the trenches and participated in the blockade, He Zhengdao did not seem to be in a hurry.

'Commander, don't you attack yet?' ’

'No hurry! Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed! Waiting! ’

Just when Zhang Cheng was also a little confused, watching the wind direction change, He Zhengdao finally smiled and said: "Okay, finally waiting for the east wind!" Zhang Cheng, order a regiment to prepare to cross the river! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

When the 'Double Pepper Cannonball' was sacrificed, Zhang Cheng finally knew that He Zhengdao's owing east wind was not a description, but he really needed to wait for this wind blowing to the other side of the river! This method is really God! (To be continued.) )
