Commando strikes again (2)
After Sun Gan's detailed explanation, the generals of the coalition army had a further understanding of this action plan, thinking that they would have to consider it comprehensively, looking at the slightly tired two, the generals did not let the two continue to wait, let them go back to rest first.
"Guys, what do you think of this plan?" Marshal Petain and the others asked the generals after the two of them left.
"I think so." , said a general.
"Is this taking up too many of our resources?" , there are also generals who raise their own concerns.
"I don't think it's good for us at the standoff." , a general takes into account the overall situation from the present.
"I think this operation is very helpful for us as a whole, and if it is successful, we will be able to break the entire German defense system with this operation. Even if we fail, it is not terrible, we will not have too many troops participating in this operation, and even if we lose all of them, we will be able to bear them. ", the other general said with some cold blood.
After a while, everyone talked and talked for a while, and then looked at Marshal Petain, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.
"General Pershing, what do you think?" , Marshal Petain asked Pershing, who had not spoken before.
"Marshal, I think this plan is feasible." For Pershing, who has always wanted to show his skills in this war, there is nothing to hesitate at all.
"Okay, let's talk about a specific course of action." In fact, Marshal Petain also agreed with Sun Gan's idea, but it was not good to say it directly, and now that General Pershing has proposed to agree, he has also agreed to the plan, this is damn politics!
"First of all, Chief of Staff, you should notify me now, recruit all the prisoners rescued by Sun Gan this time, as long as they have participated in the construction of the German defense line, and ask them one by one about the structure of these fortifications. Then inform the engineer battalion to build it one to one as they say. Remember, find a hidden place to do this, and you have to keep it secret. ", Marshal Petain commanded directly.
"Yes, Marshal, I'll do it now." , the chief of staff of the coalition forces is also a resolute character.
"Second, I order that all personnel from various units be transferred to Sun Gan for training, and that no one should disobey Sun Gan's orders during this period. In addition, it is indeed time for them to change troops and go up to replace the troops in the cliff protrusion. This matter will be left to your Seventh Expeditionary Force. Marshal Pétain gave this task to the British troops.
"Yes, Marshal, I'll arrange it when I get back." , the British generals were not ambiguous.
"Finally, to engage in tactical deception, I ask everyone to prepare for a large-scale attack on the entire defensive line, which is of course an operation of the nature of tactical deception. Except for the battle in the salient, there is only a diversion battle in the rest of the place, but I have to play the posture that I want to attack. In addition, concentrate forces to cover the salient and never allow it to be lost until the operation begins. Marshal Pétain said to the crowd.
"From now on, the Operational Staff will draw up the entire battle plan, the sooner the better, and let's all get moving." , Marshal Petain said solemnly at last.
"Yes, Marshal." , the generals also took direct action, even if it was midnight. The dense radio waves instantly filled the entire night sky, jumping the German troops on the opposite side, and nervously catching up all the German soldiers who were resting to the position.
Sun Qian, who had rested for the night, was full of energy, and not long after breakfast, he was called to the headquarters of the coalition forces.
"Captain Sun Qian, how are you resting?" Marshal Petain asked kindly.
"Thank you, Marshal, I'm well rested and ready to strike again at any time." , Sun Qian hurriedly replied.
"That's good, Captain Sun Qian, after our research, we agreed to your course of action. We will provide the best logistical support and hope you achieve the best results. ", said Marshal Petain bluntly.
"Yes, Marshal, I will do my best to complete the task." , Sun Qian said loudly.
"In order to cooperate with your actions, we will hand over to you the best soldiers of the entire assault battalion and the coalition army. You will have absolute autonomy, remember, not even I have the right to dictate what you do, and your immediate superiors will not be involved this time. To put it bluntly, you're the biggest this time. ", explained to Sun Gan by the chief of staff of the coalition forces.
"In addition, the troops on the front line will also be replaced to cooperate with you." , the chief of staff saw Sun Gan's worries and directly told Sun Gan the results.
"Thank you, sir." , Sun Qian hurriedly thanked.
"Okay, while you have time now, hurry up and relax for two days, and when the model is built, you won't have time to rest." , Marshal Petain said very considerately.
"Thank you, marshal, thank you, chief of staff!", Sun Qian turned around and left.
"Cindy, do you think we're doing the right thing this time? I mean, isn't it cruel to put our fate on such a young man? Marshal Pétain asked the Chief of Staff.
"Marshal, I see the light in him, the light of warriors and wisdom, maybe not very mature, but certainly a star of hope." , the chief of staff said with some chatter.
Looking at the chief of staff who had a bit of a godlike temperament, Marshal Petain also smiled and said, "Yes, since we have made up our minds, let's wait for the results." ”。
As for Sun Gan, as soon as he came out of the coalition headquarters, he was taken to General Pershing's command room.
Seeing that Lieutenant Colonel Memphis was also there, Sun Qian was also a little embarrassed, after all, this time he was going to "take over the command" of the whole battalion. On the other hand, Lieutenant Colonel Memphis did not react, he knew that in the direct combat of the commando, Sun Qian had an advantage over him and could allow more soldiers to survive.
"Haha, it looks like our young man is back to life. Well, you already know the orders of the coalition forces. General Pershing also did not talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Yes, General, I already know." , Sun Qian replied.
"How's that, are you sure?" After all, this is a military operation led by the US military, and if it brings enough political benefits to the United States, you must know that the coalition forces are also full of intrigues.
"Sir, with all due respect, I'm fifty percent sure at most, you know that war is full of uncontrollable factors, and maybe we won't even be able to take the first step." , Sun Qian poured some cold water on the general at the right time.
"Haha, okay, I know I'm in too much of a hurry, Captain, I hope you can succeed, let it go." , General Pershing is also a wonderful person, and he knows that it is not suitable to put pressure on Sun Qian at this time. After speaking, he gave Lieutenant Colonel Memphis the opportunity to talk.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't expect the coalition forces to give such an order." , Sun Qian said with some embarrassment.
"No, Sun Qian, the coalition forces are right in this regard, you are stronger than me in tactical raids, and this is also the result of me taking the initiative to make Xian." , Memphis directly told Sun Qian that he gave up on his own initiative.
"Sir?" , Sun Qian was a little puzzled.
"Listen to me, Sun Qian, you are very good, not only in tactics but also in your benevolence. You can bring more soldiers back alive, you're better than me. Memphis said earnestly.
"Don't hesitate, do what you have to do, Sun Qian, you must come back alive, even if the mission fails." , Lieutenant Colonel Memphis said with emotion, he was afraid that Sun Qian would be too persistent.
"Thank you, sir, I haven't really seen the gentleness of a Parisian girl, so how can I not care about my own life." , Sun Qian said a little mischievously.
"Okay, I've been in the headquarters for a while, if you need help, just tell me, the commanders of the other companies have also been transferred to other units by me for promotion, and the commanders of these companies will not be appointed for the time being." , Memphis told Sun Qian.
"Thank you, sir!" , Sun Qian knew that this was a special preparation for Sun Gan by Memphis, and he was also very grateful.
"Go ahead, go pick up the brothers of Company A, and greet them for me." , Memphis left directly, he still has a lot to do.
