Watergate Bridge, from the 1st Marine Division began to go to Changjin Lake, there were US troops deployed on the Watergate Bridge, but the number of enemies stationed on the Watergate Bridge at that time was not large, after all, the 1st Marine Division did not expect that in such a short period of time, they would retreat south and evacuate to the direction of Xingnan.

Later, the Watergate Bridge was blown up twice by volunteer soldiers, and after the second time the American sappers drove engineering vehicles to repair the Watergate Bridge, a tank battalion was left to guard the Watergate Bridge.

With the addition of the original assistant troops, the US military has reached a reinforced tank battalion on the Watergate Bridge, with more than 70 tanks and more than 700 personnel.

Xia Yuan went to sketch the defense map of the U.S. army, and did not bring too many soldiers, only Wu Wenxiang alone.

The two men didn't even have time to eat, and after checking their weapons and ammunition, they set off, and they walked through a scorched earth, looking for a vantage point from which to observe the American troops on the Watergate Bridge.

Soon, Xia Yuan found a favorable position on a hillside, which was not easy to find, and he could see the entire defense of the Watergate Bridge in a panoramic view.

Wu Wenxiang touched his head, looked into the distance and said, "Xia Yuan, can you see such a position?" ”

Xia Yuan said while observing: "My eyesight is very good, I can see very clearly, I will sketch the cloth defense map first." ”

The delineation of the defense map is relatively simple, Xia Yuan is not a professional in this regard, he can only draw the bridge body according to the painting style of his previous life, and draw the firepower of the US army in detail, this painting style is a more famous realistic style in the future, different from the painting style of looking down.

Thanks to the drawing of the U.S. military's defense map in Xinxingli, my experience in this area has improved a lot, and I am also very easy to draw.

It's just that the effect of the painting is still a little miserable.

In terms of skills, in the past few days, three new skills have been opened.

[Drawing Beginner Level (141/1000), Cooking Beginner Level (52/1000), Medical Beginner Level (13/1000)]

Other skills have improved to varying degrees.

Xia Yuan stared at the Watergate Bridge, constantly sketching in his notebook, and said: "The deployment of the U.S. troops at the Watergate Bridge is very serious, the previous bombing of the bridge reminded them, their headquarters is stationed on the mountainside north of the bridge, which is also where the tank troops are stationed, in addition, there are a large number of U.S. troops stationed. Its degree of defense is not weaker than that of the bridge deck. ”

"Lao Wu, you said that in such a well-laid situation, how to send the explosives package to that bridge."

Wu Wenxiang squinted and shook his head: "I can't see it." ”

Xia Yuan turned his head and handed him the notebook: "Look at this notebook." ”

Wu Wenxiang glanced at it, a little surprised, "This... How is this different from the map we are looking at? ”

Xia Yuan said: "Isn't this more intuitive and detailed?" ”

Wu Wenxiang stared at it and nodded seriously: "Yes, I believe it very much, as if the entire bridge appeared in front of my eyes." ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "My painting is still average, if there is paint, give me enough time, I can paint a real Watergate Bridge." ”

With enough time and paint, the painting is pushed to the master level, even if it does not reach the level of the cold army, but at the lower level of the other party, it is still simple to draw a bridge drawing, this kind of painting method is the same as taking a picture with a mobile phone.

It's a pity that what he is painting now is only a rough sketch, but for people now, it is still a bit novel.

From the point of view of the painting, in the comparison of the Watergate Bridge, every point and every position can appear in front of you.

Xia Yuan said: "What do you think if we send a large force to attack the enemy's headquarters head-on and send a squad of fighters to carry out the task of blowing up the bridge?" ”

Wu Wenxiang thought for a while and shook his head: "Attracting firepower from the front, interspersed with detours behind it, this way is estimated that the US military will think of it." ”

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "We can all imagine it, the US military will naturally think about it, and even they are more sensitive than us, once there is a slight disturbance, the other party will be suspicious, if we attack the enemy's headquarters tonight, as you said, the enemy will still suspect that this is the enemy's conspiracy, sheep attack the headquarters, pick up the opportunity to blow up the Watergate Bridge, but what if we turn the fake into real, the real into the fake?" ”

Although Wu Wenxiang is honest and honest, he is not stupid, and he immediately thought of this.

"The enemy will be confused as to whether it is true to blow up the bridge or to take the command headquarters."

Xia Yuan continued to sketch and said, "Whether it's true or false, two directions, one direction is broken, and we earn it." ”

Wu Wenxiang stared at Xia Yuan: "Be brave and strategic!" ”

Xia Yuan smiled, what kind of courage and resourcefulness is this, after looking at the four crossings of Chishui on the sand table, you will find out what is the war that you think you will lose even if you open God's vision, and you are forced to play with hundreds of thousands of troops through the shoddy map.

The art of war, he understands that it is only scratching the surface.

After sketching for more than three hours, dodging six waves of bombing by the US military, the two returned to the cliff with a disgraced face, Wu Qianli asked, "How is it?" ”

Xia Yuan patted the blackened book and said, "Company commander, it's all drawn!" ”

"Good! Immediately call the other platoon commanders and the people of the Ninth Company to come over for a meeting! Discuss the mission of blowing up the bridge! ”

Xia Yuan walked beside Wu Qianli and said, "Company commander, I have a plan that is not very mature. ”

"Less mature plans?" Wu Qianli turned his head to look at him: "What is the plan, let's hear it." ”

Xia Yuandao: "When I was drawing a map, I found the headquarters of the US military on the Watergate Bridge. ”

Wu Qianli was taken aback: "You want to hit the enemy's headquarters?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "Sheep attack the headquarters and seize the Watergate Bridge." ”

"Elaborate at the time of the meeting."

In the cave, the voice of the herald sounded: "The platoon commander is here for a meeting!" ”

After a while, the platoon commanders of the Seventh Interspersed Company and the Ninth Company all leaned over, everyone gathered around, and Wu Qianli nodded: "Xia Yuan, let's start!" ”

"Let me first give you a detailed description of the layout of the US military on the Watergate Bridge!"

The layout of the US military at the Watergate Bridge is very simple, the US tank phalanx is stationed on the col north of the bridge, overlooking the road under the mountain, and the command headquarters of the US army is also set up on this col, with trenches and many bunkers.

To the south of the bridge, it is a wide road that winds and turns to Zhenxingli, and the mountain is steep and relatively harsh, which is also the reason why the US military is deployed in the north of the bridge.

Through his own hand-drawn pictures, the general layout of the US troops at the Watergate Bridge and the firepower points are sketched.

Xia Yuan looked around at all of them and said: "If we want to face the US army and blow up the bridge against the firepower of the US army, the price we have to pay is too much and it is not worth it, so I thought of a way, and it is also a simple plan, which can not only reduce the casualties of our army, but also expand the results of the battle." ”

He didn't dare to say that he could complete the task of blowing up the bridge, but said that he would expand the results of the battle. The so-called results of the battle are the command of the US military and the Watergate Bridge.

After all, he is the one who opened the hanging, and on the top of the mountain, he has studied the deployment of the US military at the Watergate Bridge very clearly, which position is weak and which position is tight. Which position is easy to attack and which position is difficult to attack, these few hours are not only a drawing, but also a thorough study.

There is a saying that if you are rich, you will be hit by firepower, and if you are poor, you will be interspersed with tactics.

If the firepower doesn't work, then use your brains more.

The U.S. military has mastered heavy firepower, relying on tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and artillery, and can push all the way flat, while the volunteers can't do it, they can only use their brains more tactically, although the volunteers are hard, but the volunteers are also famous for their courage and intelligence.

Xia Yuan is a man of the future, and he knows this very well, and thoroughly studies the US military and selects a suitable offensive plan, which can not only reduce casualties, but also complete the combat mission.

He looked at Wu Qianli, who nodded: "Go on." ”

After receiving the affirmation of the company commander, Xia Yuan dared to continue: "The main firepower of the US army roughly revolves around the bottom of the slope under the bridge, as well as the road, and the direction they are staring at is the Watergate Bridge, because they know that we want to attack the Watergate Bridge, and the only way to attack the mountain from the position below is to break through the firepower blockade line of the US army and reach the location of the Watergate Bridge." ”

"But if you look at the defense map I drawn, the US military has seven or eight points of firepower on the periphery alone, not to mention the US artillery positions in the rear, the US tank battalions, and even the firepower of the US army's commanding heights, their terrain advantage can overlook the entire slope bottom, and we will only be pressed and beaten by them when we attack from below, especially after the arrival of US reinforcements yesterday, this kind of attack is tantamount to a suicidal attack."

"That's why I thought of the enemy's command!"

Xia Yuan stretched out his hand, and everyone's eyes also fell on the tank battalion of the US army in the mountain pass.

"The tank battalion, an important defense of the US army, has a dense firepower point, and there is also one that is beneficial to our army, that is, they dig more trenches."

Xia Yuan grinned, "Okay, after all that, the next thing is to talk about the battle plan, the southeast top, the northwest fight!" ”

To the southeast is the slope and the south of the bridge. To the northwest is the Qiaobei Highway and the west back mountain.

"Top in the southeast, fight in the northwest." Mei Sheng pondered this sentence seriously, "The sheep attacks the front and knocks the back?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "The U.S. military knows that we are going to blow up the bridge, so we will put on a good show for them, go up to the southeast, shoulder the task of blowing up the bridge, fight in the northwest, and steal the enemy's headquarters." ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the high mountain behind the US military defense, and said: "I have carefully observed this position, it is the position above the US tank battalion, there are US scouts, take this position, condescending, can directly overlook the US army on the mountainside, soldiers with good marksmanship can set up a sniper point here!" Switch to the American firing points, gunners, commanders. ”

His finger pointed again, landing on the northwest side: "This position, the weak point of the US army's firepower, the slope is steep, the US army has only set up two fire points here, take it, you can directly enter the trench built by the US army, and from here into the US tank battalion position on the mountainside!" In this kind of chaotic battle, Yu Congrong's platoon commander is more suitable, and Pinghe is suitable for high-point sniping. ”

"And me."

"Suitable for the southeast top."

The crowd looked at him.

Xia Yuan continued: "I have thought about it, just hand over the northwest top to our second platoon, and you can concentrate superior forces to attack the US military headquarters." ”

Wu Qianli immediately refused: "This can't be done, the casualties of the second platoon are large, and there are only two squads left, how can they afford such a difficult task." ”

Xia Yuan immediately assured: "Company commander! Trust me! Even if they can't take the bridge of the American army, but knocking out their firepower point is enough to make them panic! The so-called top is not a reckless top! I have good marksmanship, sharp eyes, and I specialize in hitting US military firepower points. Four and five squads attacked, but did not charge. ”

"There is a requirement that all the weapons and equipment of our second platoon be replaced with submachine guns and light machine guns, and one person is equipped with extra grenades that he carries on a daily basis, and we have to create a scene of a large army attacking the bridge."

"But in reality, our target is their command."

"Let's fight first, hit him for half an hour, the U.S. military senses that something is wrong, and will definitely reinforce the Watergate Bridge, at this time the enemy's rear is weak, you are concentrating all your forces, rushing into the col of the U.S. army, and seizing the command headquarters."

"It takes a maximum of ten minutes for the enemy to reinforce the rear, and we retreat quickly after four or five minutes when the enemy reinforcements arrive. At this time, the battle on your side has already begun, and when they realize that our true intention is to support the Command. We reluctantly counterattacked in the southeast and won the Watergate Bridge in one fell swoop! ”

After listening to Xia Yuan's plan, everyone present looked at him fixedly.

Xia Yuan didn't know why, and said, "Is there a problem?" ”

Wu Qianli pondered seriously: "Your second platoon may not be able to withstand it, Lei Gong, your artillery platoon left a squad of soldiers to hit all the artillery fire, and when the second platoon counterattacked, hit the artillery fire and cover the blowing up of the Watergate Bridge." ”

He stared at Xia Yuan: "This plan seems to be perfect, but it actually tests the combat quality of the soldiers, whether it is your high-point sniping, or the southeast top, the northwest fight, it is too tested, but I have to say that this plan is very bold." ”

"Even if the bridge bombing fails, it would be a good thing if we could take down the enemy's headquarters."

Xia Yuan said: "Company commander, it's dark at half past four, and this is just my battle plan in the first half of the night. ”

Everyone's expressions froze, and even the resting talker opened his eyes.

Mei Sheng asked, "Do you still have a plan for the second half?" ”

"yes."

Xia Yuan nodded and grinned, "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, if the operation fails in the first half of the night, our second platoon will quickly give up the move of blowing up the Watergate Bridge and quickly intersperse it to your northwest direction." And you quickly withdraw, quickly interspersed to the southeast. Then we will stage the so-called southeast top, northwest play, the plan is still the same. ”

"The first half of the night plan failed, we continued to fight like this in the second half of the night, the U.S. military most likely thought that we would not give up on the command, this time they estimated that they would not reinforce the Southeast Watergate Bridge, but quietly guarded the command, half an hour, I led the second platoon to attack the command of the U.S. army, at this time, the U.S. military has been fooled, and you can directly let go of the fight."

Yu Congrong listened to it and opened his mouth: "This, playing with your brain like this?" ”

Mei Sheng also had a question: "What if the enemy is not fooled?" What if they think that this time we are really the Watergate Bridge, not the headquarters? ”

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Then you guys retreat, I directly stole his headquarters here." ”

A platoon commander of the Ninth Company said, "Just rely on your second platoon? How can this work, if we don't succeed in the first half of the night, we can succeed in the second half of the night by relying on you in the second row? ”

Xia Yuan grinned: "Then underestimate me, don't you, ask the soldiers of our seventh interspersed company, who doesn't know my Xia Yuan's humanoid grenadier?" Seeing that I didn't blow up their artillery positions and headquarters, don't forget, I'm the one who pulled out a cart of supplies when I entered the lower corner alone, and I didn't steal him from the small headquarters? ”

"After you retreat, don't move, they see that I stole the command headquarters, and they will definitely come back to defend it, at this time, you can just hit it again, if you don't go back to defense, then it's better to do it, didn't Lei Gong support my second platoon of an artillery squad? I took them to the enemy's artillery positions and bombarded their men with their artillery. ”

He looked at Yu Congrong, "Isn't Yu Congrong able to drive a tank?" The whole tank drove away. ”

Xia Yuan had a confident smile on his face, if he said that he was playing this kind of night raid battle, no one would be the opponent of Xia Yuan, who had night vision as if he were in the daytime.

Wu Qianli and the others and several platoon commanders of the Ninth Company only felt that their scalps were numb.

But I have to say that this plan is really good.

Wu Qianli thought about it seriously for a while, and slapped his palm directly: "That's it!" ”
