Yuzhang Headquarters of the Ninth Theater of the Military Commission of the Shancheng Government.

Han Lin and some of his attachés arrived at Yuzhang Airport on a plane specially designed to pick him up, and then were taken to the headquarters by the car of the theater command, and the attachés stayed at a nearby high-end hotel.

Outside the gate of the headquarters, Han Lin got off the train and saw the members of the assault team who had arrived in Yuzhang by train the day before yesterday and had gone to the vicinity of Xiuhe to reconnoiter the Japanese army.

After listening to the briefing, combined with the intelligence team sent by Zhou Bingqing, the reconnaissance of the Japanese army, and then thinking of the information in his memory, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart.

"Report to Chief Chen, Chief Xue, the lowly Han Lin was ordered to report for duty!"

"Come in!"

Chen Wei, vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs and commander of the theater, and Xue Boling, acting commander of the theater and chairman of Hunan Province, personally met with him in the war room.

Among them, Chen Wei and Han Lin have dealt with a lot, which can be said to be very familiar, and when Xue Boling participated in the Battle of Songhu in Shanghai, he bought a batch of sulfonamides from Han Lin, which can be regarded as owing him a personal favor, and the atmosphere is still very harmonious.

"Han Lin, look at the operational diagram in front of you, this is the plan formulated by the General Staff Office of the Theater Command, although you don't know how to lead troops to fight, but your intelligence gathering ability is much stronger than that of the Military Command Bureau and the Central Command Bureau."

"During the battle of Jiangcheng, it was only by relying on the early warning communication along the river that we reinforced Madang Fortress in time, and continued to block the enemy for more than 20 days, killing and wounding a large number of enemies. I invited you here to provide intelligence support for this campaign with the help of your intelligence power. Chen Ji said with a smile.

Lieutenant General Luo Mingbai, chief of staff in the war room, together with the chief of staff, deputy chief, and operational staff officers, suddenly realized when they heard Chen Xi's introduction.

It turned out that Chief Chen Wei specially called Han Lin, the police chief of the Central Military Police Headquarters and the chief of the inspection department of the Shancheng Garrison General Headquarters, to Yuzhang, and there was such a reason.

Han Lin was born in the army, so he naturally knew how to look at the operational diagram, and sure enough, the Ninth Theater Command still focused on the Nanxun Railway, and the defense of the western and northeastern corners was weak.

"Two commanders, after I received the order, I immediately sent two intelligence officers, successively rushed to the area of Xiushui and Poyang Lake to reconnoitre, to De'an to monitor the main force of the Japanese army, I saw the deployment of the forward command, the focus of defense is on the Nanxun Railway, which is due north and east of Yuzhang."

"But according to the movement of the enemy's main force, I myself judge that the enemy's breakthrough direction is west of the Nanxun Railway, the line between Tujiabu and Qiujin Town, and this time the Japanese army will create a confusing attack, and the first round of attacks will start here." Han Lin pointed to a name on the map.

"You say Wu Cheng will be attacked first?" Chief of Staff Luo Mingbai asked with a frown.

Everyone's eyes were on Han Lin, Wucheng was a small town under Yongxiu County, located in the northeast of Yuzhang, which was the weak link in the defense.

If the focus of defense is wrong, the entire battle situation will be fatally affected, and the main forces of the Ninth Theater are all deployed along the eastern part of the Nanxun Railway, and if the enemy launches an offensive in the western part of the Nanxun Railway, the defensive position will be useless.

"Director Han, you have no experience in leading troops to fight, and you don't know how to march and set up formations, so please don't guess casually to avoid misleading the headquarters' operational deployment. According to the Japanese army's consistent combat mode, it is bound to attack south along the Nanxun Railway, directly penetrating the key point of Yuzhang's defensive position, as long as our main force is defeated, Yuzhang will not be able to hold it. ”

"The Japanese army's weapons and equipment are far better than ours, the number of artillery is more than ten times ours, there is also the cover of combat vehicles, and the air support of aircraft, in this case, there is no need to detour to cross the river in the western region, and there are Yunju Mountains to obstruct it, and there are a large number of paddy fields, which are relatively narrow, which is not conducive to the movement of the Japanese army's mechanized troops." A lieutenant colonel said disdainfully.

"You're right, the Japanese army does have an advantage in weapons and equipment, but they know that the Ninth Theater will take the Nanxun Railway as the focus of defense, and they will still carry out a strong attack, this approach is unwise, and the war should also pay attention to strategy and tactics, and it is better to achieve the goal and reduce casualties?"

"Offsetting a distance of a few kilometers or even a dozen kilometers is considered far for the Japanese army? If a gap is tore from Tujiabu and Qiujin Town, and the mechanized chariot group crosses the Xiu River, once an attack is launched on flat ground towards Fengxin and Anyi, and Yuzhang is attacked from the south in a roundabout way, how do you deal with such tactics? ”

"I don't know anything about military affairs, but I know that the Japanese army is not as reckless as you think, and it is also necessary to pay a price for despising the enemy's tactical command ability, and in the 26th year of the Republic of China, they landed from Jinshanwei, which led to the failure of the Songhu War of Resistance, this example is very clear."

"I am an intelligence officer, not an operational staff officer of the Theater Command, and the opinion I express is from the perspective of intelligence, and it is only based on the facts and circumstances to provide a reference basis for operational deployment. Han Lin said lightly.

If others have different opinions, they will immediately be like a cat that has been stepped on by its tail, baring its teeth and starting to attack, such a person can also be an operational staff officer of the theater command, it's a joke!

The reason why Han Lin jumped out to oppose it was because the War Department was very confident in the judgment they had painstakingly made, and the marching formation was their strength and the embodiment of their value. With such a big deviation, the faces of these people could not be hung up, and the authority of the operational staff officers was questioned.

"Chu Qingshan, shut up for me! Director Han stated his opinion, this is to make up for possible omissions in the next battle, so you can't listen to different opinions? Xue Boling asked coldly.

As soon as the acting commander spoke, this combat staff officer immediately did not dare to squeak, Han Lin was an outsider, and if he provoked the dissatisfaction of the boss of the Ninth War Zone, his future in the army was worrisome.

"Han Lin, since you said so, there must be a basis, say it and listen to it?" Chen Zhen asked.

The operational staff officer needs to maintain his professional judgment, but he believes that Han Lin will not be untargeted, he must have obtained relevant information, and in the end, whether to adjust the operational deployment, the power is still in the staff office, which is only being discussed.

This combat staff officer is so narrow-minded, in addition to his own personality, I am afraid that he is used to being supported by Xue Boling on weekdays! Han Lin was specially invited by me to be a staff officer, I can say that he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight, this is just a humble word for him, why do you say that?

When I was in the theater command, I was the commander of my word, and only during my absence from the headquarters, Xue Boling was the commander, is it okay to figure it out? People like you, don't think about getting promoted in this life, sooner or later you will be asked to get out of the theater command, you don't have such ability.

"The warships of the Japanese Navy assembled at the Xingzi (Lushan) pier, a detachment of five infantry brigades, ready to carry the army for an attack, which was the leading force. Intelligence officers spotted Japanese warships on the surface of the Gan River near Wucheng, and I made a preliminary inference that the enemy's first attack was to land in Wucheng. Han Lin said.

"You have a point, go ahead!" Xue Boling nodded and said.
