Episode 55 Side-kicking

"Tang Gong, listen to me......" Xiang Xiaoqiang's voice on the phone was very embarrassed, and he said in a slurred voice, "Lan ...... The Blues have attacked...... You...... You've got the report, right? ”

Tang Yunsheng smiled slightly, shook his head, but still said in a deep voice:

It's been an hour. …… What, you didn't receive it? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed for a long time and said:

"Got it...... Tang Gong...... Isn't that a little unfair, you see......"

"Oh? What do you say is unfair? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say:

"Tang Gong...... To tell you the truth, I really just learned that His Majesty will not announce the start of the exercise until this morning...... Now that he didn't even say hello, the red side may be caught off guard, which is obviously a bit ......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang did know. Within 10 minutes of the start of the attack, the Red Command continued to receive reports from the troops below that the captured Red prisoners were protesting, saying that the exercise was clearly scheduled to start at 8 a.m., and that the Blue side was cheating by doing so.

At first, the BLU officers didn't take it seriously, but later more and more prisoners were captured, and the rank of the officers became bigger and bigger, and they were all clamoring for this. That's when Rommel was reported there. Rommel immediately reported it to Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately felt that the problem was very serious, and felt that he had to stop immediately and clarify this matter. But Rommel's next few words moved him to the heart.

Rommel said that in the week before preparing for the exercise, I had never heard of anything like "the start of the announcement at eight o'clock", and that we are soldiers, and soldiers should only obey the regular things. Since the communique of the exercise only says that the exercise is on 1 June, and does not write down the number of points, it can be considered that after midnight, it will automatically enter the state of exercise. As for the Empress going to announce the start of the exercise at eight o'clock, that is just a statement, as long as it is the order that did not postpone the exercise, even if the Empress really had to announce it at eight o'clock, then we can ignore it.

Another reason for Rommel is that our aim, our overall plan, is to achieve the suddenness of the attack, that is, to confuse and catch the other side off guard, and to take advantage of the other side's confusion and surprise to multiply the results of the battle. If we attack the Qing army, then it is absolutely impossible to inform them of the specific time in advance. Don't say what time it is, you won't even be notified of the day of the month. On the contrary, we will use all means to deceive and mislead the Qing army. Now this fortuitous event has brought the most desirable result.

Rommel's two reasons were said to Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart. For a long time, he had been looking forward to such a blitzkrieg in his mind. Now the battle reports from the front line are constantly coming, his own armor torrent is attacking like a bamboo, the other side is a mess, the army is defeated, everything is as he imagined. Moreover, the victory or defeat of this exercise is too significant for him.

But Xiang Xiaoqiang put down the phone, thought about it carefully, and felt a little unsteady in his heart. He thought of Fourteen Gege, and immediately called Fourteen Gege in Nanjing and told him about it.

Before Fourteen Gege got up, the maid held the phone to the bedside. Fourteen Gege lazily listened to the phone in the bed, listening to Xiang Xiaoqiang, and at first with a hint of charm, I wanted to take the initiative to tease Xiang Xiaoqiang. But Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to linger with her at all, and just got down to business. Fourteen Gege was anxious when he heard this, and immediately asked Xiang Xiaoqiang to order the blue army to stop, and then quickly explained it to Tang Yunsheng.

Fourteen grids mean that no matter who the reason is, they can't play this kind of side-kick, and it's not a joke to have a bad relationship with the top of the army.

Xiang Xiaoqiang thinks about it. Rommel is a typical German ** person, he only knows that I did not disobey orders, and the reason is on my side, so I don't need to worry about it. But he doesn't understand these things about China at all.

By the time he grabbed the phone and called Tang Yunsheng, the Blues' offensive had been going on for a full hour.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang calmed down and told Tang Yunsheng on the phone. Finally, in the voice that is as honest as possible, he said:

"Tang Gong, student...... I really want the blue side to win the exercise. It would be much fairer if you could stop the attack in the first place and then go back and start again......"

After listening to Xiang Xiaoqiang's explanation, and the last sentence, Tang Yunsheng thought about it for a while, thinking that regardless of the truth or falsehood of what this kid said, the fierce attack commanded by the German fierce general under his command and the commander of the blue side was extremely powerful and amazing.

Completely break through the line of defense in an hour, and crush one division and paralyze another. He believes that even if Red had known in advance and was on high alert, the outcome would not have made much difference. At most, the Blue side will lose 10 to 15 percent, but it will still be a crushing defeat for the Red Army, and the Blue Army will drive straight in.

Tang Yunsheng smiled and said:

"You said you wanted to stop the attack at the first time, and you are not the commander-in-chief of the blue side, how can you stop the attack of the blue army?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang was speechless all of a sudden, his mind turned quickly, and he couldn't figure out what Tang Yunsheng meant by this.

Tang Yunsheng continued to laugh and said:

"In this exercise, the commander of the Blue Army is Colonel Rommel, not you. This exercise is not our army against your People's Guard, but red against blue. Well, it's important to remember that. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief all of a sudden, and hurriedly said:

"Yes, what Tang Gong said is right, the student almost has to take it for granted again."

Tang Yunsheng smiled again:

"Well, don't think about it. Speaking of which, it is not a well-rehearsed stage play, but an exercise that simulates a real war as much as possible. In a real war, there will always be many unexpected circumstances. For example, I had a battle plan of several hundred pages in advance, but now the situation has changed. I don't need a single page. ”

"Ah......" Xiang Xiaoqiang pondered Tang Yunsheng's words, and his heart was full of thoughts, so he had to say humbly, "Ah......"

Tang Yunsheng lowered his face again and said:

'The Blues took advantage of this opportunity to take the lead, and it was true. But then the Red Army was already ready. The Reds are still several times larger than the Blues, and I'm not going to be soft. …… Well, I have a lot of things to do, and now I'm going to continue to command. Stand up, you're doing it yourself. ”

As he spoke, he hung up the phone.

……

Just when the 1st Blue Division outflanked the 3rd Red Division from behind, the 4th Red Division, 15 kilometers to the south, defended, the 5th Red Division, which defended Taihu Lake to the mountainous area, and the 1st and 6th Red Divisions, 20 kilometers to the west, between Maoshan and the Yangtze River, began to move towards the breakthrough of the Blue Army.

Because the red side knew that the blue side only had these two divisions, and would not take advantage of the situation from other positions, it did not hesitate to move and press the blue army from the west and south directions with double forces.
