"Lao Tian, why are you here?"

"Lao Hu is afraid that you will be addicted to war, and you will forget the plan as soon as your brain is hot, let me supervise you. ”

knew that Tian Guozhong was making fun of himself, but because he had already come to the position, it was not easy to quarrel with him, so he had to turn around and give him a roll of the eyes, and then trot away with everyone to the commander of the third company.

"Third Company Commander, what's going on?"

As he asked, he took the telescope from the third company commander's hand, and then looked in the direction pointed by the third company commander. The explanation of the third company commander came from his ears: "Regiment commander, chief of staff, you look at our previous second line of defense, the little devil is there to rest and prepare for the attack on our third line of defense, I can understand this." However, if you look at the trenches of the second line of defense, the little devils are still digging...... They don't attack, they make a defensive stance, which makes me wonder. ”

I saw that in the trenches of the previous second line of defense, the dirt was flying, and it was obvious that the little devils were digging in the trenches. It's just because of the height, plus the little devil just digs, but never looks up, so you don't have a target even if you want to shoot. Of course, at this time, it would be nice if the artillery company was there, and the ballistic arc of the small steel cannon would definitely give huge damage to the little devils who were digging in the trenches.

It's really hard to figure out.

Even after Zhang Qingshan looked at it for a while, he put down the binoculars and joked to Tian Guozhong, who was still observing with the binoculars: "Lao Tian, you said, the little devil doesn't want to expand the trenches so that he can besiege us, and finally wants to trap us here, right?"

"Do you think the little devil would be so stupid as to come and attack us like a fool without investigating beforehand? If nothing else, just say that he can accurately find the headquarters of our assault regiment, and that he can do it on three sides, it is enough to explain everything...... They may not know the details, but no one can hide the general things. ”

"And what do you think they're going to do?"

Tian Guozhong frowned and looked below, nodded slightly, and said, "I don't know." What is certain, however, is that they must have had their purpose in doing so......"

After thinking about it, he added: "However, what you said earlier was right "they beat theirs, we beat ours", no matter what means they use, as long as the initiative is in our hands, they will eventually have to follow our style of play. Now, if we are confused by their style of play, it is equivalent to handing over the initiative. ”

Zhang Qingshan nodded, thought about it, turned his head to the third company commander and said, "Third company commander, I'll leave it to you here." I have no other requirements for your third company, just one thing: whether you can defend it or not, from now on, if the casualty rate of your third company exceeds 10 percent, you, the company commander, will not have to do it. Got it?"

The third company commander's brows suddenly wrinkled into the word 'Chuan', and he said to Zhang Qingshan with a crying face: "Regiment commander, you should withdraw me now!"

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan didn't speak, just stared at him with wide eyes, he smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, it's not that I'm complaining to you, but your order that the casualty rate is not more than ten percent, it's really embarrassing for me......"

Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at Zhang Qingshan, and seeing that Zhang Qingshan just looked over, but did not look at him anymore, he quickly explained: "Regiment commander, you have also seen that there are many little devils and small steel cannons, strong firepower, and the quality of individual soldiers is not bad...... Even if we can choose freely according to the battle situation, I can't guarantee that the casualty rate will be less than 10%!"

After Zhang Qingshan gave Tian Guozhong a look, he looked at the third company commander carefully, snorted lightly, and left. The third company commander only heard Zhang Qingshan's fluttering words in his ears: "How to do it is your business, I just give the order, only look at the result, nothing else, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Who can guarantee that their casualty rate will be less than 10 percent? But there is another sentence, nothing is absolute, so why can't you guarantee that your casualty rate is less than 10 percent?

Seeing that the commander of the third company frowned deeply and looked depressed, Tian Guozhong, who was about to keep up, stopped, patted the shoulder of the third company commander, and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, think more about ways and use your brains, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome." ”

"But, Chief of Staff, this is too difficult, and the time is so urgent, how can you let me think of a good way for a while?"

Tian Guozhong smiled and said, "Don't say anything else, I have a suggestion, do you want to know?"

"Yes, of course. ”

Tian Guozhong stretched out his right hand and clamped it, and the commander of the third company quickly took out a cigarette and helped him light it.

"On our position, we can count hundreds of people when we are full. However, in this way, it will be crowded, and when the time comes, the little devils will bomb this place indiscriminately, and the casualty rate will be large. Moreover, our trench, the terrain on both sides is steep, there are many thorns, the little devil only has this one trail to come up, let's put a hundred guns here, and put fifty guns here, the difference is not big, but because of the crowding, the little devil's artillery fire is cheap......" Speaking of this, Tian Guozhong took a puff of cigarette, pointed to the mountains and forests on both sides of the position with his right hand holding the cigarette, and said with a smile: "The forests on both sides are natural barriers and hiding places, you haven't thought about how to use them?"

With this reminder, the commander of the third company immediately turned his head to look at the woods on both sides of the position, and smiled at Tian Guozhong: "Chief of Staff, you are still amazing, and you woke me up with one sentence." ”

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, it is necessary to hide part of the troops in the woods, so that not only can the little devils hide part of the troops in the woods, but also allow them to return to the position in time. In this way, even if the little devils bomb the position indiscriminately, our losses can be reduced by at least half. ”

Tian Guozhong nodded with a smile and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"And?" The third company commander thought about it, scratched the back of his head, and said with a sneer: "Chief of Staff, my head is very messy now, and I really can't think of more for a while, why don't you point me out?"

"The terrain on both sides is steep and thorny, which is not conducive to climbing, but the problem is that it does not block the shooting! Moreover, you can hide the main force in the forest, and wait for the little devil to charge to the critical moment, and fire on both sides together, which is equivalent to giving the little devil a three-sided attack. Moreover, only a small group of troops and horses can be deployed on the main position, mainly to resist the little devils and delay the time for the troops behind to participate in the battle, while the two sides can mainly oppose the guest and help the main position defend...... Wouldn't you have taken advantage of that...... Of course, this can only be done once. The last time the little devil was definitely good at learning to be obedient, the second time he wanted to hide people inside, I was afraid that he would be taken care of by the little devil's artillery fire. ”

"That's right, I'll arrange it. ”

"Wait a minute!"

"Chief of Staff, what other instructions do you have?"

"I just instructed you a little bit. In fact, you can also use the space around you to deal with the little devils. ”

The third company commander looked back at the large open space behind him, and asked suspiciously, "How else can I use it here?"

"I can't think of a specific one for a while, but I think that the space here can be used ......" Speaking of this, Tian Guozhong patted the shoulder of the third company commander and said, "I just got it for a while, and I will give you some advice." As for how to use it in other places, it depends on your third company commander. ”

After speaking, he patted his buttocks, bent his waist, and walked away with a few people...... Zhang Qingshan has been waiting there for a long time.

Zhang Qingshan led everyone to the top of Qinglong Mountain quickly, and said to Tian Guozhong behind him as he walked: "Lao Tian, I think we should set up a watchtower on the top of the mountain, so that it is conducive to using a broad field of vision to see the overall situation." ”

"Well, we were negligent. Now, let's go to the top of the hill to see what the little devils are up to, and when this battle is over, we'll first build a watchtower on the top of the hill. ”

Zhang Qingshan nodded, took out the kettle and drank a few sips of water, and asked while closing the lid: "Also, Lao Tian, I always think that the commander of the little devil is not simple, I'm afraid he won't be easily fooled by us." ”

"Well, I feel that way, too, but now we can only do our best and obey the destiny of God. Just do your best, and if you can't succeed, it depends on the will of God. Besides, no matter what tricks the little devils play, we still play according to our ...... Moreover, looking at the battle of the little devils, I am afraid that they now want to capture Qinglong Mountain no matter what, as for whether they will enter the primeval forest to pursue us, it depends on how well we fight on the third line of defense. ”

Speaking of this, he looked back and saw that the commander of the third company was transferring troops, Tian Guozhong smiled. He turned back to Zhang Qingshan and said, "As long as we beat the little devils and get angry, I believe that when they enter our station and find that there is no one, they will definitely be red-eyed." At that time, they may be carried away by their anger and pursue us to the death. ”

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile and said, "However, it is also possible that the little devil chased after him because of his arrogance." ”

"But one thing is for sure. As long as we delay for another hour, the three battalions outside should probably rush back, and by then, hey, hey, hey, the little devil wants to give us a three-sided encirclement, let's give the little devil a four-sided flower......" Speaking of this, Tian Guozhong's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Lao Tzu still doesn't believe in this evil, even if he can't completely annihilate this little devil, can't he let them leave most of the people behind?"

Zhang Qingshan pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said: "Lao Tian, don't forget, the second company of the fourth battalion and the more than 100 people in Pigeon Mountain are ambushing over there at this time, just waiting for the little devil to attack our third line of defense to the most critical time, from behind, give the little devil a hard blow." ”

"How could I forget this ambush army?" Tian Guozhong said with a smile: "I'm just wondering now, whether this ambush army should do this?" ”

Saying wow, he frowned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he hurriedly said his thoughts: "Lao Zhang, now is the test of your command level as a regiment commander, and you must grasp this degree well." Because if the second company beats the little devil from behind, I am afraid that the little devil will lose his mind in anger and chase after the second company, so as to give up the attack on Qinglong Mountain, in that case, it will be a bit more than worth the loss for us. But if you don't fight harder, you can't delay the little devil's attack. And, the most important thing is the timing of their attack, which is the most important. ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Qingshan nodded solemnly, because he also knew that this point in time had to be stuck, not in advance, nor later.

Tian Guozhong's reminder was very reasonable, but when everyone came to the top of the mountain and looked at the little devil in the northeast with the help of a telescope, they immediately smiled bitterly......
