Chapter Seventy-Six: The Controversy
"When the battle of annihilation is carried out in the city, the main force of our army must rush to set up ambushes on both sides of the road to block the Japanese army layer by layer, so that the enemy has no time to take care of the troops in Funing County, and can only deal with our troops. Even when necessary, our army should take the initiative to lure the Japanese army into the green yarn tent, and concentrate firepower to annihilate and encircle the Japanese army through the advantage of the terrain. ”
"In the green gauze tent, the heavy firepower of the Japanese army could not be brought into play, and our army was more comfortable and active than the Japanese army. If the Japanese army wants to deal with our army, it must defend itself layer by layer and be vigilant at all times. In such a situation, we can drag the Japanese puppet army to exhaustion and collapse, and at the same time consume the strength of a squadron of the Japanese army or 1-2 battalions of the puppet army. ”
"When the main force of the Japanese army is basically exhausted, our army, which is supported by the troops in the city, can launch a full-scale attack, divide and encircle the Japanese puppet army in the green yarn tent, carry out comprehensive extermination, and finally achieve the result of annihilating a brigade of the Japanese army and a regiment of the puppet army. Even if we can't do it, we can annihilate the main force of the Japanese puppet army for the most part, so that the remaining part of the Japanese puppet army can flee the battlefield. ”
As soon as Wang Ergou's plan was finished, a squadron leader suddenly said: "Captain Wang, your plan is good, but once we can't annihilate the Japanese puppet army, we are very likely to let this Japanese army run away, and then all the work we hide in Funing County will come to naught." ”
Wang Ergou nodded, "You're right, but you have to understand that once the gunshots are fired together on our side, our hiding has already disappeared." Sooner or later, the matter of Funing County falling into our hands will be noticed by the Japanese puppet army. We can't remain indifferent just because we want to keep it secret, because we want to hide it. Since you want to fight, you have to think about it. ”
The squadron leader was speechless and shrank back. Another squadron leader said, "Captain Wang, how can you guarantee that the Japanese army will definitely enter the city?" What if the Japanese army chose to go around the city? ”
"I can't guarantee it," Wang Ergou said in a deep voice. "But there is one thing I can be sure of, the Japanese army will inevitably have to resupply. Departing in the morning, we will arrive at Funing County at noon, so Funing County is in the hands of 'our own people', so it will become inevitable for the Japanese army to have a simple rest and enjoy lunch in Funing County. Now, do you think the Japanese army will come here to resupply? ”
The squadron leader nodded and sat down, also agreeing with his proposition. At this time, Zhang Niu asked: "Lao Wang, then what method do we use to solve the Japanese army?" ”
"Any way can be done," Li Qinghe suddenly took over, "When we enter the city, they are the eight kings in the urn, and we can clean up as we want." What to clean up with is a simple question. What we should really be worried about is not in the city, but outside the city. ”
Han Xing still stood up, "Captain Wang, I understand what you think." Your idea is really good, and the end result looks good. But there is one thing that we don't understand, why do we think that the Japanese army will follow our pace step by step. In other words, the Japanese army must go on step by step according to our assumptions in order to be able to achieve such great results. ”
"Okay, even if the Japanese army really left according to our deployment, why do we think that the Japanese army will not be wary of us? You should also know that the Japanese army is very wary of the puppet army, what if the Japanese army does not follow our deployment in the city? If we don't completely annihilate this force and cause this force to escape, there will be problems with the ambush behind. ”
Wang Ergou was speechless, because he couldn't guarantee that the Japanese army would really follow their rhythm easily. A plan is a plan, because reality is always different from a plan, and it is very normal for there to be discrepancies.
Seeing that Wang Ergou couldn't answer, Han Xing continued: "Since Captain Wang can't answer, then I still insist on my own ideas. Setting up a guerrilla zone outside the city and being harassed when the Japanese army advanced to Funing County ensured that our army would be able to make the Japanese pay the corresponding price and not dare to act rashly. ”
Once again, there was a lively discussion. After discussion, Zhang Niu chose to support Han Xing after careful consideration. Although he was a little impulsive, in the face of such a large-scale operation, he still chose the more conservative Hanxing plan.
However, Xie Zicai supports Wang Ergou's idea, he believes that Wang Ergou's plan has a very high probability of success, and the deployment of the Japanese army is bound to be carried out in this way, and we can use the information difference and time difference to eliminate more Japanese puppet troops. Then it is necessary to take the initiative and make a comprehensive net against the Japanese invaders to ensure the success of the next breakthrough of the anti-United Nations and the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression struggle.
At present, there are obvious differences within the army on the battle plan against the Japanese puppet army, but the argument between the two sides is not as follows: who has the upper hand and who has the upper hand. As the military commander, Li Qinghe just looked at the map, was silent, and did not make any decisions.
After a long time, Li Qinghe stood up and said calmly: "Since no unification conclusion has been reached, then both sides will submit a battle plan to me after they go back, and I will make the final decision." ”
After the meeting ended, when there was no one in the conference room, Yang Qing found Li Qinghe, "Lao Li, tell me, do you support Wang Ergou's plan?" ”
Li Qinghe clicked on the map, "Old Yang, you have to be bold and careful in fighting." Whether you take a conservative or more aggressive approach, you need to have a detailed plan. Of course, we all know that planning is not very reliable, but you also have to understand that without a plan, we can't do anything. ”
"Today's meeting is not about how I want to fight, but I want them to understand how they want to fight and how they should fight. If it comes to simple plans, whether they are radical plans or conservative plans, I do have drafts myself, but I would like to see what they think. ”
"Children have to grow up eventually, and they have to think about going out to lead the troops themselves. No matter what they think, I still want them to be able to go on their own and complete one task and plan after another. ”
"But isn't it too soon?" Yang Qing's expression was full of worry, "Our troops have just started training, and many things don't require them to be so independent." ”
"It's not early, they've all become battalion-level commanders, don't you think it's possible to fight independently? Moreover, we will inevitably pull our troops to the surrounding rural areas of Funing County, so as to ensure our control over the rural areas. They all have to disperse and think about how to fight and how to develop. ”
Yang Qing understood Li Qinghe's thoughts, so he could only sigh, "Since you said so, I don't object to it." But I still want to say, it's better to be careful. We can't afford a few failures, let alone a few tosses. ”
"Democracy in the military, centralization in decision-making. Lao Yang, you remember, the decision-making power is in our hands, and there will be no big basket, unless we have a problem. Li Qinghe's expression was firm, and his words were sonorous and powerful.
That night, Li Qinghe got the plan of Wang Ergou and Han Xing. Both of them attach great importance to this plan, and both devote a lot of space to it. Although the words of both of them are very ugly and crooked. But that kind of effort can indeed be clearly seen, and Li Qinghe is still very pleased.
After discussion, Li Qinghe was still ready to use Han Xing's plan. It's not because Wang Ergou's plan is unrealistic, but because Li Qinghe still has to consider the security of the troops. Just like Yang Qing said, we don't have so much fault tolerance, and we don't have so much price to pay. There is no big mistake in seeking stability.
However, a late-night intrusion made Li Qinghe change his mind.
