Chapter 122: The Great Man's Decision
。 "It's too dangerous, I'd better go!" When Su Yu heard this, he hurriedly dissuaded him, and Zhang Hao, the political commissar, naturally did not agree with Hu Weidong, the number one military leader, who took risks lightly, and also clearly expressed his opposition. [Netizens shared "In a big battle with a scale of more than 30,000 people, I am far inferior to you Lao Su, but this kind of battle of thousands of people, you don't want to rob me, staying here to command a large army is a more suitable position for you." , Hu Weidong replied sincerely.
"If you want you, the general who commands the 200,000-strong army, to personally command the battle at the brigade level, then what do you want those regiment commanders and brigade commanders below to do?" Zhang Hao also expressed his opposition clearly, many senior generals in the Red Army like to take the lead, so the casualty rate has always been very high, Zhang Hao does not want Hu Weidong to follow the old path of those predecessors at a young age
Hu Weidong insisted, "I am sure that I can touch the enemy's heavy artillery position at night just by relying on the telegrams sent back by plane reconnaissance, and none of them have the ability to do so for the time being." ”
Now the two have nothing to say, among the middle and senior commanders in the current team, the only one who can easily make a sand table with a high degree of accuracy based on data alone is Hu Weidong, a guy with outrageous spatial imagination and memory ability
Due to the special nature of this battle, the number of troops dispatched could not be too many, and there was a strong special operation color, so Hu Weidong decided to bring the guard regiment of the 15th Red Army, which had not fought a vicious battle before and was still intact. Because the military headquarters of the 15th Red Army and the headquarters of the Red Eighth Army basically acted together, this guard regiment was actually also the guard regiment of the headquarters of the Red Eighth Army Corps, and the strength of the army was as high as 3,000 people, close to the number of two ordinary regiments, and both the quality of personnel and weapons and equipment were very good. If only small arms are used, the two elite infantry wings of the devils may not be their opponents. As long as they can touch the enemy's heavy artillery positions without injury, Hu Weidong believes that they will be able to complete their tasks brilliantly.
In order to further increase the certainty of success, Hu Weidong also asked the special operations team to set off together, they did not go at first, and when the guard regiment launched an attack, they took the opportunity to use cross-dressing tactics to infiltrate and fish in troubled waters, in order to avoid accidental injury, Hu Weidong used the method invented by his ancestors two thousand years ago, so that they tied a white strip of cloth on their right arm before the war, so that they would not hurt their own people in the melee
Other than that. For Su Yu's suggestion before. Hu Weidong, who now basically grasped the enemy's situation, finally responded, and he decided to let the 2nd Brigade, which has the least attrition in the independent division, make a big detour and penetrate into the rear of the enemy army, so as to cut off the retreat of the 12th Division of the devils, and at the same time be responsible for blocking the 4th Division of the Japanese army that may arrive here at any time. This also means that the 2nd Brigade will most likely face the superior forces of the devil's elite troops. If the luck is not good, it may even start before the field fortifications are completed, so Hu Weidong also specially replenished the 2nd Brigade with 2,000 recruits.
Su Yu and Zhang Hao were a little uneasy about the new recruits on these battlefields, but Hu Weidong believed that as long as the proportion of recruits did not exceed one-third, the combat effectiveness of the troops would not decline too much, and the recruits would also mature rapidly in the cruel test of the veterans' words and deeds and actual combat, and more importantly, at present, the Red 15th Army really could not draw other soldiers to supplement the 2nd Brigade. In fact. After the guard regiment and the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Division were dispatched, the frontal offensive strength of the Red 15 th Army was only more than 30,000 people, and Hu Weidong was more optimistic about this, believing that as long as the devil's heavy artillery was eliminated, the sharp artillery fire of the Red 15 th Army could be fully utilized, even if there were fewer infantry. It's hard to stop the devils. After agreeing that the guard regiment would do the first move, as soon as the guns sounded, the corps headquarters also immediately launched a general attack, so that the enemy could not afford to send reinforcements to the heavy artillery positions, and the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Division only needed to build field fortifications as soon as possible and wait for the enemy to attack...,
After arranging all this, Hu Weidong confidently set off with the Army Guard Regiment and the Special Operations Brigade. Su Yu had been partnered with Hu Weidong for a while, and he had more confidence in Jihua, while Zhang Hao was always a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but send a telegram to the central government that night to explain the matter
In an inconspicuous cave in Yan'an, the great man who read the telegram was furious, "I have warned them not to scatter their troops, but they have turned a deaf ear!" Didn't you think about what the situation would be if a sneak attack on the enemy's artillery position failed, or if that brigade could not withstand the Japanese attack from both sides? I think they were carried away by the previous victory! Yuying doesn't know how to dissuade her! ”
"This kind of thing is also inevitable, we are staying in the rear now, it is naturally easy to think calmly, but on the front line where the situation is changing rapidly, if you don't pay attention, you will be led by the nose by the war situation, and the big principles are neglected, Xiaohu is still young, Su Yu is not yet 30 years old, Comrade Yuying has just been transferred to the army to work for a short time, and it is understandable to occasionally make such mistakes!" , The commander-in-chief was well aware of the difficulties of the front-line generals, and when he saw this, he hurriedly came out to speak for Hu Weidong and the other three.
When Zhou Gong heard this, he immediately asked the great man, "In that case, do you want to telegraph the Eighth Army Corps and ask them to cancel this military operation." ”
"It's too late, and we're far from the battlefield here, so it's not as good as the commanders at the front to understand the situation, and it's not a good habit to directly intervene in their command." The great man thought for a while, showed a resolute look on his face, and said categorically, "Since the troops are insufficient, then give them enough replenishment, and order the first army to immediately send troops down the mountain to support"
"Do you want them to send part of their forces to contain the Japanese army?" , Zhou Gong asked.
"No, it's preparing for the decisive battle of the main force", the great man's face sank like a waterway.
At this time, Hu Weidong, who did not know that he had been scolded by the great man, took the guard regiment to trek hard for most of the night, and finally found the devil's heavy artillery position detected by the Red Army planes during the day; in order to avoid alarming the Japanese army, Hu Weidong and they had to go around in a big circle to avoid the devil's sentry, so that the road in a straight line was only more than 20 kilometers, and everyone actually walked more than 40 kilometers, but fortunately, the Red Army has always been known for its iron feet, and the nutritional status of the commanders and fighters of the Red 15 th Army is much better than that of the brother troops. All the way over and it is relatively easy to walk on flat ground, finally arrived at the destination before dawn in time, and the surprise attack was almost launched at the same time, with Hu Weidong's order, the head of the guard regiment Long Feibao took the lead, with more than 3,000 elites under his command silently touched the devil's artillery position (to be continued......
