Zhao Gang told Xie Tian about the several playing styles he and Li Yunlong pondered, and although Xie Tian didn't agree, he also listened to it seriously.

It seems that everyone's success is not a fluke, although Li Yunlong sometimes makes mistakes, but he does have some ideas for fighting, and when he makes a mistake, he puts on a desperate posture with others, such an opponent is really a headache.

When Zhao Gang finished speaking, Xie Tian looked at Zhao Gang and asked, "Where is the enemy's advantage?" ”

There is no need to ponder this, Zhao Gang said without hesitation: "First, the terrain is favorable, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the vision is broad, it is difficult for us to touch the front without being noticed by the devil." Second, the fortifications are strong, and there are no dead ends in the configuration of the firepower network, and the commander of the arbor wing stationed at Niangzi Pass should be an expert who is proficient in positional warfare. Thirdly, it is well-equipped and has sufficient ammunition. Fourth, the reinforcements are highly mobile, and they can come to the rescue soon after the start of the war, and if our siege troops are surrounded by devils inside and outside, we will be very uncomfortable. ”

When Zhao Gang finished speaking, Xie Tiancai nodded and said, "You already have a very clear understanding of the situation of the enemy and us, so let me ask you, what is the purpose of our battle?" ”

Zhao Gang looked at Xie Tian, pondered for a while and said: "Niangzi Pass and Pingxing Pass are the east gates of Shanxi, and they have always been a battleground for soldiers. Therefore, I think that from the perspective of the overall situation, if we want to enter North China, these two passes must be taken. Even if we only want to protect the west of Jing'anshan, these two passes must be controlled by us. ”

Xie Tian showed some smiles on his face, and nodded at Zhao Gang: "That's right, is there anything else?" ”

Xie Tian heard it, what Zhao Gang said just now was completely Zhao Gang's own thoughts, Li Yunlong was like the kind of old peasant who saved a few acres of land with frugality, and only saw his own one-third of an acre of land, and there would not be such a big pattern.

Zhao Gang looked at Xie Tian contemplatively and said, "Commander-in-chief, don't be surprised if I say something wrong. ”

Xie Tian smiled slightly: "Brother Zhao, you can speak out. ”

Zhao Gang nodded: "I personally think that with the current strength of our 10th Theater, it is not enough to go out of North China to confront hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops head-on." My guess is that the commander-in-chief's move should be a defensive offensive, and your first goal should be to take Yangquan, a high-quality coal-producing base. ”

Xie Tian laughed: "What about my second goal?" ”

Zhao Gang hesitated and smiled: "Of course, it is to take the Niangzi Pass and the Pingxing Pass, from these two passes, it is a horse and a flat river, even if we only stand still in these two passes, we can also contain a large part of the Japanese army in North China, thus relieving the pressure on the brother troops who are fighting behind the enemy." ”

Xie Tian smiled and patted Zhao Gang's arm across the table: "Old Zhao, your superiors only let you be a regimental political commissar, and when this battle is over, whether you and your superiors agree or not, I will definitely transfer you to my staff department as a chief of staff." ”

Zhao Gang looked at Xie Tian with emotion and embarrassment and said, "Commander-in-chief, you know that I am an organized person. ”

Xie Tian smiled: "But first you are a Chinese, and the second is your faith." The most important thing for the Chinese now is to solve the problem of the Japanese devils first, and as for the matter of faith, we will talk about it after the little devils have been defeated, and I will strongly support whatever you decide at that time, and I will never break my word. ”

Zhao Gang looked at Xie Tian with emotion, was silent for three seconds, and nodded vigorously: "I know, commander-in-chief, I now want to know how we should fight the battle of Niangziguan." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Haven't you already finished talking about it yourself, the enemy's situation in Niangzi Pass, my first goal and second goal, since the most difficult thing to gnaw on the Niangzi Pass Arbor United is their terrain advantage and permanent fortifications, then why do we still have to fight them in Niangzi Pass?" Lao Tzu would not risk the lives of the soldiers. ”

Zhao Gang looked at Xie Tian with a bewildered expression, attacking Niangzi Pass, but not fighting with the devil in Niangzi Pass, so how to fight?

Xie Tian looked at Zhao Gang and smiled: "Niangzi Guan has already reached Lao Tzu's second target, why is Lao Tzu in a hurry?" Isn't Qiao Mu Ichiro good at positional warfare, then let's fight positional warfare with him, but not on their position. Trap him, knock out his supplies and reinforcements, build fortifications in the outskirts that are favorable to us, and transport not a single bullet or grain into Niangzi Pass. Let's just consume it with Qiao Mu Yilang, if it doesn't work for a month, it will take two months, and if it doesn't work for two months, it will take half a year, and Lao Tzu doesn't believe that their food can be eaten for a lifetime. When the little devils are hungry, they will naturally choose to break through and obediently run to our position. Lao Zhao, in the past two months, I think you must have made our position an impregnable wall, right? ”

"Encircle the point and send reinforcements!" Zhao Gang's eyes lit up.

Xie Tian laughed: "It's to encircle the point to send reinforcements, trap the devils in Niangziguan, and interrupt their railway line, at this time, the 49th Army should have solved the devils in Yangquan, and the three divisions of your 51st Army can set up more than a dozen blockade lines around Niangziguan, such a dense blockade line, I think even a bird may not be able to fly into Niangzi Pass." If needed, the 49th Army can support your 51st Army at any time......"

Before Xie Tian finished speaking, Zhao Gang already had a smile on his face.

That's right, let's not go to Niangzi Pass to fight the devil, and wait for him to die.

There are two or three thousand devils in a wing, and the food consumed every day is not a small amount.

According to the news sent back by the scouts, there will be a military train every three days to replenish supplies to Niangziguan, which means that the war reserve of Niangziguan is at most half a month's reserve.

As long as the supply line of the devil is interrupted, it will not take half a month for the little devil to sit still.

You still have a fart to build such a solid fortification in Niangzi Pass, let's not fight with you in Niangzi Pass, as long as you get out of Niangzi Pass, you will face our newly built fortifications.

Seeing that Zhao Gang had fully comprehended his intentions, Xie Tian wiped his hands with the rag on the table and stood up: "Old Zhao, the next tactical deployment will be handed over to you." I'll go to your military headquarters and talk to Deputy Commander Xu. ”

Zhao Gang sighed, stood up and walked towards the door with Xie Tian, and asked hesitantly: "Commander-in-chief, do you really plan to let Lao Li be the head of logistics in the field hospital?" ”

Xie Tian stopped and looked at Zhao Gang and said: "Li Yunlong has a lot of problems, I can accept and even appreciate his small problems, but I can't accept the soldiers as battlefield consumables no matter what." Let him take a good look at those wounded soldiers in the hospital first, if he can't change himself, Lao Tzu doesn't mind building a pig farm for him to be a pig commander. ”

Treating a warrior as a battlefield expendable is like a hammer.

No one knows better than Zhao Gang how many big battles Li Yunlong has fought, and almost every battle will pay a lot of casualties.

All the troops have been fighting like this for a long time, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

But looking back at the few big battles Xie Tian fought, including the battle that had not yet started, Zhao Gang felt that his face was burning in panic.

As Li Yunlong's political commissar, Li Yunlong has his participation in every battle he fought.
