Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ambush of Mopanzhai Above
readx;
"The straight-line distance from Niulanba to Niulanzhen is about eleven kilometers, but there are a lot of mountain roads here, do you take a big road or a small road?" Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Path. ”
"Do you think Li Yuda will take the small road or the big road?"
"This ...... Company Commander Zhang, I really can't say it. ”
"Lao Li, don't mind, it's me who asked the wrong question. Zhang Qingshan immediately realized the stupidity of his question, and who would dare to give an affirmative answer to this uncertainty except Li Yuda himself? At that moment, he asked in a different way: "Lao Li, are you familiar with the road conditions in this area?"
"I grew up in Niulanba and am familiar with the area. ”
"So, between Niulanba and Niulanzhen, although there is only one main road, there must be more than one small road, how many small roads do you have?"
"I know, there are two paths, and the path on the right has to be detoured, which is equivalent to walking more than ten miles, and it is better to take the big road. The trail on the right was much closer, and I ran back from that path. ”
Zhang Qingshan nodded, pointed twice with his right index finger at the two places on the map, Niulan Town and Niulanba, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, if you take the big road, how long do you generally need to walk? How long does it take to walk this small road?"
"This ...... This one...... Company Commander Zhang, I never calculated. However, I guess how long it will take to get a stick of incense...... Yes, there is only more, not less. ”
Niu Xiaohua on the side interjected: "Company Commander Zhang, if we calculate the time here, it is generally calculated by a bag of cigarettes, a cup of tea, a stick of incense, etc. ”
Zhang Qingshan was stunned, and then secretly scolded himself for being a forgetful thing: he used to be poor and couldn't even eat, and the same is true for calculating time. Now that I have a watch, I forget the roots, and I still think that others have watches to see like myself - these days, in the eyes of many people, there is a watch or pocket watch, which is a symbol of wealth, and even, many people don't know this thing at all, let alone how to look at pocket watches. And Lao Li knew at a glance that they were also poor people, and the way they calculated time was the same, but they had to chase and ask the specific time, wouldn't they be suspected of slapping their faces?
However, military operations are extremely time-sensitive, and if you do not know the specific time, it is very likely that you will miss a good opportunity and even let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes. Also, you have to know whether the enemy is going to take the road or the path when he falls? This is also a troublesome matter.
"Lao Li, don't mind, I was negligent, I'm sorry. As he spoke, he gave Lao Li a cigarette and helped him light it. In his mind, he thought that he had to send people to reconnoiter as soon as possible in order to buy more time to deal with the enemy.
"It's fine. Lao Li took a puff of his cigarette and grinned. Smiling and smiling, Lao Li suddenly slapped his thigh and said happily: "Company Commander Zhang, I know which way they will go, and besides, I can calculate the time in other ways." ”
Zhang Qingshan was taken aback and asked anxiously: "Lao Li, talk about it quickly." ”
"I just remembered that when I came, I had secretly observed their gathering, and found that they were loading grain and bacon into the wagon. If you can use horses to check in, you can't take the small road, you can only take the big road. Needless to say, these grains and bacon are all compensation from the mayor to Li Yuda for the loss of his little wife. It is estimated that if it weren't for the idea of not worrying about the bullpen dam and being afraid that his superiors would beat the money and food he obtained, this Li Yuda battalion commander would probably not be so eager to rush back overnight, but spend the night in the town mayor and continue to plague the people in the town.
Zhang Qingshan immediately smiled and gave Lao Li a thumbs up: Life comes from details, details determine success or failure, Lao Li's observation, which he usually doesn't care much about, has now played a decisive role, so that people don't need to reconnoitre, and they don't have to waste time in this regard, they suddenly know that it's time to ambush the enemy on the road.
Maybe it was Zhang Qingshan's thumb that inspired Lao Li, making him take two puffs of cigarette with a full face, and his voice was much firmer and more powerful: "Company Commander Zhang, although I don't know how to calculate the specific time, I am sure that at this time, Li Yuda and their itinerary definitely haven't even reached half of the distance, and it is good to be able to go to a third of the way." ”
"Oh~!" Zhang Qingshan looked at Lao Li in surprise and asked, "Lao Li, how did you decide, tell me about it." ”
Military operations are no child's play, and naturally we must do our utmost to gather together all the useful information in order to make the best and fastest strategy and deployment.
"I've been wild since I was a child, and I like to run in the mountains, even when I usually walk on mountain roads, I trot all the way. Lao Li smiled a little proudly: "This time the situation is urgent, in order to send the information back as soon as possible, I spread my legs and ran all the way." And Li Yuda and his gang are all old soldiers, not to mention that they will definitely not be able to outrun me, even if they let them run all the way back, they will be tired to death, and they will rebel a long time ago. Plus it was dark, and they must have walked slowly all the way back. Besides, when I came back, they only half-loaded the grain and bacon, and they had to wait until they were finished before they left to come back...... So, I dare say, they're going to be a third of the way right now, and maybe they're just getting going. ”
Zhang Qingshan greatly admired Lao Li: not that he could run dozens of miles on the mountain road in one breath, but that he admired his way of analyzing time. In modern terms: Great power in the people! Lao Li is the best proof, how many people can think of and do such a calculation method of his?
"Someone came, and the instructor, Deputy Company Commander Peng, several platoon commanders, as well as Captain Niu and Instructor Luo of the guerrillas, all hurriedly called for an emergency meeting. Then let the troops hurry up and arrest the prisoners, and after they were caught, they would not be interrogated for the time being, but they would all be locked up and handed over to the comrades of the guerrillas for temporary care...... Go quickly!"
"Yes!"
"Look at me, I just knew that I was talking to you, and I even forgot to pour your saliva. While pouring water for Lao Li, Zhang Qingshan instructed the comrades outside to get a few torches and illuminate this small conference room as if it were daylight.
Soon, everyone came running.
After everyone arrived, Zhang Qingshan said the matter briefly, and said with a smile: "Everyone, it seems that this battle can't be fought if it is not." However, how and where to fight? I would like to ask you to express your opinions. ”
As soon as the words fell, before everyone could speak, Hu Yingze got up and said, "You wait first, I'll talk to Lao Zhang first." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Qingshan and walked out.
"Lao Hu, at this time, what can be as important as eliminating Li Yuda?"
"Lao Zhang, this matter is more important than eliminating Li Yuda. ”
Zhang Qingshan looked at Hu Yingze suspiciously.
"Lao Zhang, I didn't say you, you said it yourself, it's all at this time, what kind of democracy are you doing?"
Zhang Qingshan immediately understood what Hu Yingze meant, and was a little shocked in his heart, because this was a little different from what he thought. At that moment, he asked tentatively: "Lao Hu, what do you mean by this? Isn't our party a rule that it wants democracy?"
"Lao Zhang, if you engage in dictatorship in politics, you are looking for death; but if you practice democracy in the military, you are also looking for death, because in the military democracy, there are many people with mixed mouths, one person has one thought, and one person thinks about one pot of porridge in a mess, how can it be possible to form a unified strategy? When the time comes, it is not up to you, the company commander, to make the final decision, rather than that, it is better for you to make a decision as soon as you come......
"Isn't that right?"
"What's wrong?" Hu Yingze persuaded a little bitterly: "After all, we are only a company, with more than 100 people, and all of them are soldiers, what kind of democracy do we practice? Besides, in a local war like this, you can't say a word to a company commander, so what do you want to do as a company commander? It is better for everyone to vote on the facts...... However, if all the wars were to be resolved by voting, I don't think there would be any need to fight this war. Otherwise, not to mention missing the opportunity, it would already be a miracle to not be killed by the enemy before the results of the vote came out. ”
Which commander in the world doesn't want to make a decision at once? Zhang Qingshan is naturally no exception, and now seeing Hu Yingze, an instructor, so persuasive, Zhang Qingshan's heart has long been overjoyed. smiled at the moment: "That's okay, in the future, I will implement a word." ”
"En!" Hu Yingze nodded, but how to look at Zhang Qingshan's smile how he felt like he was deceived, afraid that the guy would take advantage of the opportunity to be lawless and engage in a small hill, and immediately gave Zhang Qingshan a 'preventive shot', adding: "Of course, if you encounter something that is not easy to decide, or encounter some corresponding difficulties, you can also adopt a democratic method and listen to everyone's opinions." After all, we advocate that the minority obeys the majority. ”
"Didn't you just say that politically we are engaged in the nation, and militarily we cannot subordinate the minority to the majority......?
"Get out!"
After scolding, he returned to the conference room with his hands behind his back. Zhang Qingshan grinned and followed in with a smile...... Hu Yingze would never have imagined that many of Zhang Qingshan's 'disobedience to orders' in the future were inspired by his conversation, because when Zhang Qingshan argued with others, he always used his words to fight back at others.
"Comrades, the situation has changed and time is pressing, so I will not listen to everyone's opinions...... I also exercise the following powers as my company commander. Zhang Qingshan turned around with a smile and walked to the map, pointed to a place on the map, and said: "According to the intelligence analysis, I decided to fight Li Yuda's troops in an ......ambush here, that is, this place called Mopanzhai."
"In this ambush battle, Comrade Niu Yingwu was invited to bring ten comrades as guides and set off with everyone. ”
"Yes!"
"The rest of the guerrillas, led by Comrade Luo Dachun and Niu Xiaohua, are mainly responsible for taking care of the prisoners and organizing the manpower to take over the main force to cross the river...... Three platoons and one squad stayed to cooperate with the comrades of the guerrillas, but the main duty was to take care of the prisoners, if anything happened to the prisoners, Comrade Qi Zixuan, I don't care if you are there or not, I only ask you to be responsible. ”
"Yes!"
"I will lead a platoon of comrades to set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain on the left side of Mopan Village; Lao Peng will lead three platoons to block their back road; Lao Hu, are you willing to take the second platoon to block in front, or are you willing to stay here?"
To be honest, Zhang Qingshan asked this question because he wanted to liven up the atmosphere, because he thought that with Lao Hu's current enthusiasm for fighting, he would definitely choose the former. Who knows, after Hu Yingze pondered for a while, he actually said: "The number of people left to guard the prisoners is a bit small, so I'd better stay, and do the work of these prisoners by the way." ”
Zhang Qingshan immediately admired Hu Yingze's choice: worthy of being an old party member, this overall situation is really nothing to say, he is absolutely self-aware, and he will not add chaos to the mess.
Immediately, Zhang Qingshan made another deployment, and after the table, Zhengse said: "Time is pressing, everyone hurry up and take action...... By the way, don't forget to bring all the captured light and heavy machine guns. ”
And Hu Yingze on the side sighed and sighed leisurely: "If only there were cannons, blow up these bastards!"
Caused everyone to laugh......
