"I've heard a little bit of that." Guo Rugui said.

"In fact, after every meeting to speak freely, I still have to choose a decision from the opinions of the people."

"I heard that Master Chu can pinch and calculate, and he is like a god?"

"It's true that God is accurate, how many people never believe in evil, and finally he forced it over, the days you arrived, I don't know why he didn't show his hand. It's a pity. ”

"Oh? Actually, I'm very interested, so let's talk about it. ”

"Every time before making a decision, the division must hide alone in the back and close the door to tell the hexagram, there must be three or four guards guarding, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu are not allowed to disturb, Zhao Xiaoli of the guard company once drunk and broke in, the division seat was furious, almost received 20 military sticks, we pleaded to change it to a fine." Tao Mingzhang said and laughed, "But once the division seat comes out, he must have a quasi-idea, and he will always make the Japanese suffer, and on a few occasions he will make the United States and Britain wonder, because the deployment he made is inconsistent with the results of their aerial reconnaissance." Their liaison officer is still in a hurry, but in the end, it has to be our Chu Ting Changshen who can make them convinced. ”

"Brother Mingzhang, everyone really believes in those...... What are the evils? What Zhou Yi gossip can predict the battle situation? ”

"It's hard to say in words, I don't want to believe it but I have to believe it," Tao Mingzhang shook his head with a wry smile, "Science also pays attention to statistics. The Boxers claimed to be miraculous and exposed on the battlefield, but Chu Shizuo, the gods chattered but they had no last resort, how could you let us not believe it? ”

"Behind this, there is nothing unreasonable?"

"There are indeed too many things that I can't say, I'm thinking, if there is really this kind of divine arithmetic that does not rely on reconnaissance and wins thousands of miles away, why do I suffer so many defeats in China for nearly a hundred years? Didn't anyone come out? But then again, I really can't think of any other explanation. ”

"It is forbidden to beat and scold soldiers in the army, and the cancellation of the officer's small stove is also the meaning of Chu Shizuo."

"Yes, but he never said it directly in front of everyone, saying that he was afraid of resistance and that it was difficult to lead the team, but he talked to me about the importance of equality between officers and soldiers to develop combat effectiveness. He encouraged me to first set up a role model in my own army, and then he commended the whole division, so that I could promote it in the whole division according to the situation. ”

"So, it's the same way of making military decisions?" Guo Rugui said to herself.

"What's the same?" Tao Mingzhang was a little confused.

"I mean, he doesn't express his views directly, but first speaks widely, and then leads them to his own path."

"That's true. Unless there is an emergency, the division is rarely arbitrary. But every time he has a meeting, he already has a base, just to listen to everyone's opinions and hear if there is anything like him. ”

"I see, I see." Guo Rugui nodded.

There was a cannon sound in the distance, Tao Mingzhang blew out the candle, took a few steps to the window, half-squatted down and looked with a telescope, it was the direction of his main position, it seemed that Chu Shizuo expected the direction of the enemy's attack to come true. He turned around and grabbed the phone to ask about the situation ahead.

"Hey, 0303, what's going on with you? Got on fire with the enemy...... You send the coordinates to the artillery camp and let them clean it up. ”

Tao Mingzhang hung up the phone and went to the window again. After a while, the fire flickered in the artillery position, and it was more than thirty guns of large and small calibers firing. In addition, the infantry battalion is equipped with mortars, and the firepower should be not small.

After half the base was gone, he called again to inquire, saying that the enemy had withdrawn, and there were many corpses left on the position, and they could only be counted after dawn, but there should be a lot.

The 29th Wing of the 2nd Division, which led the attack, marched tiredly all the way, and after nightfall, it was blocked and rammed into it without ascertaining the enemy's situation. This unit had just been transferred from New Guinea, and the division had not been defeated since it was formed in Meiji 21 (1888). The earliest intersection with the Chinese army was the landing in Rongcheng, Shandong Province in the First Sino-Japanese War, and the capture of Weihaiwei, the division commander at that time was Nogi Noshinori.

The unit has not suffered a long loss in Chu Ting, some do not know the height of the sky, and when they go ashore, they are only very strained, and they are holding back their strength to fight a tough battle with the enemy, and they are rushing to the army, and finally bumped into the enemy army, and their morale is extremely high.

I never thought that there were a lot of firearms on the enemy's position, and one battalion firepower was the same as that of a division of the Chinese Army in North China, and the troops were suppressed before they had time to deploy their marching formations. Kenzaburo Miyake Osaku blew up one eye on the spot and was carried to the back, and the troops were finally withdrawn. A hasty inventory was taken, and the losses were heavy.

As soon as the 29th Wing retreated, the 4th Wing launched another attack on the flanks, a little later than the 29th Wing, which allowed Tao Mingzhang's artillery to turn its guns and cover another position with full firepower. The Japanese army divided their troops to attack, but each way was within the range of Tao Mingzhang's artillery position, and the fate was almost the same, which was regarded as a blood mold.

Of course, Chu Tingchang relied on drones to know where the enemy was coming, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to put the artillery in front of him so much, and concentrate his forces to guard the narrowest part of the enemy's inevitable path, leaving no reserves at all.

At present, his troops are scattered everywhere, and everywhere they are eating the enemy in front of them with a narrow advantage. To a certain extent, his dominant style of play has surpassed the ancient art of war, using idioms such as Tian Ji horse racing, which can describe the supreme realm of using troops, troops, firepower, terrain, and timing are all used just right, and they are not left to the enemy at all.

Tao Mingzhang's artillery showed great might, but he was still frightened and waited for dawn, so that he could rely on aerial reconnaissance to know if the enemy had fallen to the ground and whether there were strange soldiers coming from the flanks, after all, he was still not very confident about Chu Tingchang's tricks of pinching his fingers, and he always felt that there was no basis.

The Vivier Command overheard the Japanese Navy's distress call and asked the warships at sea to rush to the mouth of the Ganges River to rescue the people, which seemed to be related to the pilot's report of blowing up an enemy aircraft carrier. He didn't dare to imagine that such a thing as blowing up and sinking an enemy aircraft carrier at night turned out to be true.

It turned out that Vivier was about to flee to New Delhi, but somehow the situation was reversed, and he returned to the Ranchi headquarters in good spirits and began to point fingers at the map.

Sun Liren's counterattack in the east of the Ganges River also went smoothly, the enemy did not have heavy troops there, and a dissatisfied 31st Division, I don't know how thick the sky is, almost hit Dhaka, and the 40,000 Sino-British allied troops were beaten back as soon as they counterattacked. The Japanese tried to retreat to Chittagong, but Wingate's guerrillas blew up the port facilities and their stockpiles ahead of time, which meant for the Japanese that the already stretched supplies were even worse.

419 tracked and found that the two Kongo-class battleships suddenly split up, and one turned to the northeast, probably to drive Chittagong, which suddenly turned dangerous. The Hiei still came back the same way, and it seemed that it was going to support Calcutta.

The radar found that the Japanese planes that took off from Sittwe came in groups, and it was obvious that Kimura saw the most terrible consequences and decided to make a desperate bet, but the Japanese planes did not stay much in Chittagong or Kolkata, and Major General Luo Ao had already summed up a set of corresponding strategies, and he used radar intelligence to send planes to meet the battle in an orderly manner.

The enemy is eager to fight, he does not engage in battle, and when the enemy runs out of fuel and returns, he will send a group of planes to pursue. At this time, radar technology could roughly distinguish the size of the enemy's aircraft group from the reflected signal, and even distinguish between Japanese bombers and fighters from the speed of the aircraft.

As the day dawned, the Hiei continued to approach the coast, and 419 dived temporarily to avoid the British patrol planes, and she was about to carry out an attack on the enemy ship, preferably able to break it as close to the coast as possible, so that it would be easier for the air force to detect it. Although the enemy also feared that it would be intercepted by the Royal Air Force if it got too close, it had to move closer to the coast as long as the 200th Division put pressure on Calcutta.

The next move is to see Zhou Youfu, he learned that Tao Mingzhang killed seven or eight hundred enemies in one night, he couldn't help but get anxious, he was also anxious to perform, but the enemy's naval artillery performance he saw yesterday left an indelible impression on him. The more frightened he became, the more Chu Shizuo encouraged him to act, saying that he had contacted more than 100 British planes and was waiting to pack up the Japanese warships.

Of course, Zhou Youfu didn't know the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to see the British the most, but the military order was like a mountain, so he had to bite the bullet, he knew that the enemy's retreating position was within the fire of the ship's guns.

The frontal defense was the puppet Manchurian Isono troops, about 700 people. They made full use of the former British positions, dug deep overnight, buried *, strengthened the fortifications, and waited for the enemy to attack. Before the battle, Bai Qi personally sent an adjutant with an order for Pu Jie to withdraw to the city. He knew that His Highness wanted to save face, so he was willing to come down.

When Zhou Youfu launched the first round of shelling, the enemy hid in underground bunkers, and just after the shelling, they came out again.

This unit suffered the losses of the Soviets artillery in those years, and later trained hard in anti-artillery, and mastered the timing of dodging artillery and counterattacking very well. When the artillery fire of the 200th Division extended behind them, they did not come out to recover their positions, just in time for Zhou Youfu's troops to touch the front but had not yet occupied, so they immediately organized firepower to block Zhou Youfu's troops, because the infantry was too far ahead, the enemy and us were intertwined, and the artillery could not be supported, and Zhou Youfu's two battalions could not break through the enemy's defense by attacking in turn, so they had to withdraw again. There are many trenches here, and there are *, and he did not dare to throw tanks, and for a time he could not break through.

Zhou Youfu sighed and sat at the command headquarters thinking about it, the phone rang suddenly, and he knew that it was Chu Tingchang who called to scold him. But you can't help but pick it up.

He barely picked up the phone.

"What do you eat? Hundreds of puppet troops can't eat it. ”

From a distance through the earpiece, you can hear the anger of the master.

"Shizao, this dog day is very experienced," he wiped the sweat from his head and continued to reply, "I asked the prisoners of the Praetorian Guard just now, and said that the Isono troops have specialized in anti-artillery, and they are also the only ones in the Japanese army, and they can recover their positions before the attacking infantry. This is the north gate of Kolkata again, and they rushed to repair the fortifications, and I can't help it. ”

"If you are verbose, you know that you can shirk responsibility, so you can't use your brain?"

"I really can't think of a way, the troops are already very close to the artillery, and no matter how tight it is, the cannonballs will hit their own people."

"Who has nothing else to do but these three axes, you have no other way?"

"That ......" Lao Zhou was puzzled, but he felt that the master had something to teach him.

"Listen, aren't they the best at dodging?"

"yes,"

"Disrupt the rhythm of the artillery fire."

"Scrambled?" Veterans still don't get the hang of it.

"Idiot, still don't understand? It's a fake charge, a real artillery fire, so that they can't feel the rhythm and hit the shells themselves. ”

"Just pause during the shelling? I get it, I get it. ”

Zhou Youfu was enlightened for a while, and regardless of whether Chu Tingchang had anything else to say, he hung up the phone excitedly. Hurry up and call the artillery to deploy.
