The one who stayed behind told us to rest first, and he stepped aside to guard us.

As soon as I stopped, I felt a terrible pain in the wound on my body. In particular, the gunshot wound on the back, because the bullet remains in the body, cannot lie down to rest. I had to sit on my backpack and couldn't sleep, although I was a little sleepy. Xiao Zhu, who was next to me, was also injured and felt very uncomfortable lying on the ground, so after lying down for a while, he sat up again.

Xiao Shu said that he couldn't sleep either, and wanted to talk to me. He asked me what I thought of today's battle.

Xiao Sha's question surprised me a little. Being able to spontaneously carry out post-war summing up is a good habit and a basic condition for a soldier to grow. Those who are good at summarizing are also good at progress. I know that Xiao Xiao didn't ask casually, he said this, which means that he has thought about it and has his own opinion. I said I knew he had thought about it, and if he had any ideas, he might as well speak them up and listen to them.

Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know your overall plan, only today's arrangement." I can only say what I think about today. ”

I nodded, "Tell me about it first, I'll share my thoughts with you later." ”

"Judging from today's tactics and strategies alone, it should be almost perfect. But the truth is, no matter how heroic we are, we fail in the end. I think this is based on the perspective of strategic purpose, because in our strategic goal, it is to keep the enemy at bay for two days. But we didn't stop it for even a day. In my opinion, a war that does not accomplish its strategic objectives is a lost war. From the moment I withdrew down that hillside, I carefully reflected on the day's battle, recalling every detail of the battle. I don't think there was anything wrong with today's tactical arrangement. But we still lost. Why did we lose? ”

Xiao Xiao said this, and suddenly stopped.

I understood why Xiao Xiao stopped talking and encouraged him, "Go ahead, say what you think." Say whatever you want, don't worry! ”

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Then I'll just say it?!" ”

I said, "Of course, if you have something to say, you don't have to detour about it." ”

Xiao Shu said, "After thinking about it, I found that there is only one reason, and I think it was your two brothers who directly caused today's failure. First of all, let's talk about the hillside at the mouth of the wind. According to your plan, we should have been there for a day, but it turned out that in less than two hours, we were defeated. In your plan, we should make full use of the natural conditions there, block and kill the enemy as much as possible. Therefore, the enemy must be made to think that whatever happens there is a harsh natural environment, and the enemy must not be allowed to see that there is a human element. Only in this way can the enemy be confused. They will not fire indiscriminately at the barren mountains and mountains, and the aircraft will not be useful in the wind like the mouth of the gale. For this reason, we made the decoration there only a day in advance. Although I was not there at the time, I later heard from the people who came back from there that the situation was consistent with your judgment. If we can keep the situation at the beginning, your strategic and tactical goals are completely achievable. So, your idea is great. It's just that one of your brothers suddenly got carried away at this time, and under an impulse he exposed the target and also your tactical intentions, exposing everyone to the enemy's artillery fire. In desperation, our first line of resistance collapsed in a daze. This is the first card to fall, and the fall of this card has led to the collapse of the entire domino tile. ”

I said, "Actually, I can't blame that brother for this. Forget it, let's talk about it first. You're done, I'll talk about it. ”

Xiao Shu cleared his throat for a moment, and then said, "If the failure of the resistance on the slope of the big wind outlet is caused by exposure, the failure in the wind and sand valley is a failure due to exposure and dragging. When we left the hill, your two brothers retreated so slowly that the pursuing enemy caught up with us several times, forcing us to send men to block them, and thus completely detached ourselves from our prior blasting plans. According to your tactical and strategic requirements, the Wind and Sand Valley is the second line of resistance. As with the first line of attack, it is also to make full use of the natural conditions there to block and kill the enemy as much as possible. Let the enemy think that whatever happens there is a harsh natural environment, and the enemy must not be allowed to see that there is a human element. And the geographical conditions here can confuse the enemy even more. If it wasn't exposed before, the block here will also give the enemy the illusion. The selection of our blasting point and the blasting time are also done according to your plan. But all our hard work has been ruined on these two brothers of yours. Premature exposure caused the enemy to turn his attention to the natural environment to man, and as a result, he launched a pursuit. At this time, they moved slowly, and became a drag on us and a clinging to the enemy. Because the pursuers were clinging to them, we had to disrupt all our plans. It turned out that they were leading the enemy through the valley, and in order to rescue them and distance them from the enemy, we sent men to block and detonate the first blast point in advance. Even so, it still can't speed up their actions, and in the end, you were shot yourself in order to save them. ”

I said, "I know, but it's a matter of ability, and they've done their best!" ”

Xiao Xiao let out a long sigh, "It's just a pity that our blasting plan cost us so much effort and energy. We had planned to let in the first team of pathfinders, and only when the enemy's brigade reached the blasting area, the blasting would take place. But let these two people stir up like this, not to say that the expected goal has not been achieved, or even the effect of delaying the enemy's time is not obvious. The enemy knew that we were blocking, had a defense, and had a targeted approach, and quickly caught up with us. If it weren't for the faceless timely move of position, I'm afraid all of us would have stayed there forever today. ”

I also sighed, "Actually, the real reason for today's failure cannot be blamed on those two brothers, they are both righteous people. The responsibility for today's failure lies entirely with me. In my plan, the two brothers were supposed to evacuate with the tribesmen. But they changed their minds when they were about to leave, and I couldn't stop them and let them get involved. This was my mistake. As a conductor, you should be able to use people's knowledge, and my failure to put the right people in the right places was the second mistake I made. ”
