Chapter 274: Don't be afraid to make mistakes

Chen Xie didn't have time to rest immediately, he had to keep an eye on the young staff officers. Although these people don't have to go to the battlefield to play with their lives, the hard work is not bad at all. The foldable table top is filled with maps, not prints, hand-drawn topographic maps. When the soldiers are encamped, the staff officers must understand the terrain around the battlefield, and drawing is a necessary skill.

Maybe modern people look at their drawings very roughly, but in Chen Xie's view, it is not easy, there are contour lines. Teach these staff officers to use contour lines, and Chen Xie spent a lot of time. Finally brought out a group of people, and they are all seeds.

"It's grass, and the water is up to your neck. This is the forest, all the way to the sea, and the scout said that there is a path that can be walked by one person and one ride. There is a mountain here, with a height of 87 meters and a radius of 500 meters. ”

"The 20,000 Jiannu didn't run away, even if you can't walk fast on the path, how many people can run out? When we turn back, we poke our butts and thighs back, and we're all done. If I were a commander, just two words, stick to it. ”

"The key is to reconnoiter and figure out the location of the Houjin Artillery Team."

"Scout fart, they only have a lot of food, and when the time comes, pull up the artillery battalion, the 12-pounder gun has a range of 4,000 meters, and bombard it for three or five days. If they want to come out, they will fight back, and if they don't come out, they will continue to bomb. Anyway, there is plenty of ammunition. ”

"The key is how to block the enemy's reinforcements. I think that at this time I will leave two infantry battalions and artillery battalions, and start building fortifications in this position, making him five hundred meters deep, and pulling seven or eight barbed wire fences on the main road. How many come are sent to death. Then the main force turned back and collected his reinforcements first. If it hurts, be honest, and when the reinforcements retreat, I see that Yue Tuo's side is almost hungry. ”

The staff officers spoke freely, which Chen Xie was happy to see. In fact, Chen Xie at this time was also hesitating about a question, whether he should send reinforcements first. Quietly exiting the headquarters, he quickly moved the wood under his buttocks, and drew on the ground with a stick.

The biggest headache now is Yue Tuo's artillery team. This merchant has more than a hundred cannons in his hand, although there are only a dozen large-caliber Hongyi cannons. But this thing is hidden first. When you turn around and wait for your infantry to attack, one shot will be enough for the Dengzhou soldiers. Not to mention the small cannon behind the fortifications, the Furlong machine, the Tiger Zun cannon. Great General. These things look at the slow rate of fire. It's good to fight infantry.

Of course, there were casualties in the war, but Chen Xie would never suffer unnecessary casualties. Do you concentrate your forces and send reinforcements first? It's better to wait for the opinions of the staff officers, Chen Xie is now very happy to see them have mature opinions. The plan specified by the staff officers. In this era, it is difficult to implement it too carefully, which is caused by the backwardness of communication. Therefore, it is only necessary to take all the circumstances into account, a general goal, and how to implement it, still depends on the commander.

At dusk, the herald rushed to the herald, and shouted from afar: "Lushun urgent." ”

Chen Xie stood up, looked at the herald coming to him, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, the supervisor Wu Zhi and Yushi Song Guanglan arrived in Lushun, and learned that the lord led his troops to detour behind the enemy and asked to come to the front to supervise the battle. General Wang asked them to rest for a day before leaving. ”

What are these two people doing here? Chen Xie waved his hand and motioned for the messenger to go down and rest, and sat down in place to smoke and think. Wu Zhi, the prison guard, was supposed to follow, but this thing was afraid of death, and Chen Xie pretended to be sick when he set off. It is unknown who has the background behind Song Guanglan, but this product is not suitable for Chen Xie, and everyone knows this. Under normal circumstances, Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Yao should have at least one of them, but now none of them came, but Song Guanglan came, there must be something strange here.

If you don't understand, don't think about it, this is Chen Xie's habit. Too lazy to bother with it. Fighting with these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie can't do it at all, if he really wants to be above the court, ten Chen Xie can't do one Song Guanglan tied up. Staying in Dengzhou is different, Chen Xie didn't plan to fight with him, and directly crushed him with hard power. It can be said that Chen Xie directly ignored the Ming Dynasty's civil officials who fought in the court. You play with the heart eye, I play crushing, everyone is not a routine.

"Love doesn't come or not." With a conclusion, Chen Xie was relaxed, and when he got up talking to himself, Hongguo came to him. Lao Yuan said: "Master, the hot water is boiled." Looking at the red fruit in a military uniform, Chen Xie sighed twice, this woman was also funny, turned around and said: "Master, I look good in a white coat, I still look good in this." ”

"It's all good-looking!" Chen Xie smiled sheepishly, Hongguo actually felt shy, and followed Chen Xie into the fence with his head down. Within fifty meters, anyone who approached would be stopped by the guards.

The corrupt Chen Xie moaned comfortably in the steaming wooden barrel, and he could soak in the battlefield on the battlefield. Take the lead in corrupting military discipline or something, no one will think so. What's even more corrupt is that Hongguo, who is still wearing clothes on his upper body, sits on it and twists his waist hard. Underneath the soaked clothes, two plump balls swayed up and down. In order to avoid making a sound, he also bit a piece of red cloth in his mouth, and looked closely at his belly pocket.

Finally, the woman had no strength, her soft body lay down, her waist was still squirming tenaciously, enjoying the afterglow of walking in the clouds. This posture was maintained for a while, and then Hongguo whispered in his ear: "Master, the slave family is incompetent, you can punish me." ”

Chen Xie straightened up this woman, her face was ruddy, her eyes were full of spring water, and she did not evade her gaze. In the hearts of these women in Hongguo, the lord is more important than the emperor, seeing Chen Xie staring, he unbuttoned it with his bare hands and popped out two balls. Suddenly, his expression tightened, the water in the bucket rippled, and he couldn't help but put his hand into his mouth, so as not to scream.

After the tense battle, Chen Xie, who was able to relax and change his clothes after taking a bath, was refreshed. When he returned to the headquarters, the staff officers were all dispersed, and only one Lin He was left waiting.

"Sir!" Lin He also changed his name, and followed Wang Qinian and others to learn badly. Chen Xie didn't plan to correct them, this was the Ming Dynasty, and he could be applauded as he spoke. "Hmmm! Is there a plan? Chen Xie asked directly, and Lin He said rightly: "After repeated weighing, my colleagues in the General Staff Office came up with two battle plans, one is the plan to send reinforcements first, and the other is the plan to fight Yue Tuo first. ”

Chen Xie smiled and said: "Why are there two plans, aren't the rules of the staff office controversial and voting?" ”

Don't look at Chen Xie laughing, in fact, this is a very severe accusation. What does the Staff Office do? After specifying the battle plan, Chen Xie had to fight according to the plan. It would be a remiss to not have a clear plan on such a big issue.

"Here's the thing, the battle plan specified before, because it didn't count that Yue Tuo would retreat, so the colleagues in the staff office unanimously agreed that they were derelict in their duties. Ask the lord to dispose. Lin He was ashamed, after Su Haochen didn't come, he was the temporary person in charge. In the few days in Lushun, he thought of everything about the battle plan he designated, but he didn't expect Yue Tuo to stick to it.

Why is this happening? It's very simple, just look at the Jiannu expedition in the winter of the second year. With the so-called "100,000 army", Huang Taiji will be able to crisscross the north and Zhili, and he will not avoid war at all because of the large number of Ming troops. Therefore, the General Staff Office did not think about it directly. The original plan was to meet Yuetuo at the three-way road after the landing.

"Mistakes are the result of inexperience. No one is a god, and everyone can be wrong. In the future, we will sum up our experience and stop making mistakes. Now I command you to gather your colleagues at once, and tomorrow morning I will see your new battle plan. ”

Chen Xie dropped a sentence and went out, Lin He was sweating and stood in place and didn't dare to move. When Chen Xie walked away, he went to greet his colleagues and worked overtime overnight. After a group of staff officers gathered, Lin He repeated Chen Xie's words, and everyone suddenly looked ashamed. The master did not blame them for their mistakes, but they became unconfident because of their mistakes.

"Master is so trusted, what else do you have to say? Get moving, and make sure you come up with a satisfactory plan. ”

After coming out, the wind blew, and Chen Xie's spirits lifted. Slowly walking in the direction of the field hospital, the staff office is still a seedling, and it needs more wind and rain to sharpen and more tolerance. What is the mistake, Chen Xie bears it. On the other hand, because of this matter, Chen Xie also made a decision in his heart, no matter what the plan they made, just follow the plan. Fighting Yuetuo or sending reinforcements, in fact, it's almost the same. Even if there will be some casualties in the fight against Yuetuo, this kind of frontal battle is not a rare opportunity for the entire Dengzhou battalion to exercise? In the history of the republic, there was an army, wasn't it just constant fighting, constant casualties, and finally more than 30,000 veterans of a hundred battles remained, and in just eight years, it became a million soldiers?

Learning war in the midst of war is the best school.

There were almost no casualties in today's battle, only three soldiers of the artillery corps were slightly wounded, all from the barrels burned. Putting on a show is already a habit, and it goes deep into Chen Xie's bone marrow. When the three soldiers saw Chen Xie coming in person, they were so excited that they immediately went to move the cannonballs to fight Jiannu. On the contrary, Chen Xie let them recuperate with peace of mind, and assured: "The battle is endless, and there are opportunities." ”

comforted the three injured and went to visit the medical staff, and the people-friendly drama is now a skilled mess. After years of training, the team of medical staff has continued to grow, from dozens to hundreds. The women brought back by Bei Zhili, and more than fifty of them have grown into doctors with two knives. Bandaging and stitching can be done, and there are more than 200 nurses. It can be said that these medical staff are only available here in Chen Xie. In other armies, one of them burned high incense. Once you are injured in battle, whether you die or not depends on God's face.

It cannot but be said that Chen Xie's medical system is a powerful guarantee for the combat effectiveness of the entire Dengzhou battalion. Even if he is injured and sent to the hospital to die, no one will complain. Compared to other armies, this is paradise. (To be continued......)
