One Hundred and Three, Decapitation Operation (II)

held a meeting and discussed the issue of defense, Li Yinying went to arrange the defense by himself, and this trivial matter naturally did not need Li Tiefei to deal with. When there was no one around, Qian Lingmei smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you have gambled on your life's reputation this time." Li Tiefei shrugged his shoulders and said: "Although the junior brother is said to be of high seniority, he is still a child, and in my capacity, I personally took action to deal with a small child, and it is already shameful enough to bully me to the point of bullying me, if I don't give him a chance, then can I still go out to meet people in the future? ”

The opposing troops held a meeting to arrange defenses, and the Xuanwu Army also held a high-level meeting, and at the meeting, the two opinions were very stiff. Han Tiefang said: "Brothers, this is our only chance, as long as we besiege but not attack, and attract other opposing forces to attack, then, we can wait for work and fight a war of attrition with them, plus we already have a geographical advantage, no matter how we calculate this battle, we will have a big advantage, if we can't win in this way, then there is no possibility of winning." ”

Zhou Hongyuan disagreed: "What the iron side said is right, and I also understand that this is the only chance we can defeat the chief instructor, but, the iron side, no matter what you say, what if we can't hold the city and the siege fails? ”

Zhao Guangyuan and others all felt a headache, and now there are two opinions, one is the main battle faction represented by Han Tiefang. Advocate siege and reinforcements. Take advantage of the opportunity to trap Li Tiefei. On the 47th main planet, there is a decisive battle with the opposing forces, because of the geographical advantage and the time of day, the odds of victory are quite high. The second is the moderate faction led by Zhou Hongyuan, who advocates swallowing Li Tiefei's enemy first, and then calculating the future later, because besieging the city and sending reinforcements is certainly a magic formula, but. If it doesn't work, the consequences will be very severe, and it's not worth the risk.

These two major opinions came from the two giants of the Xuanwu Legion, and the two giants of the commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff disagreed, which made the other major legions feel troublesome. The opinions of the two sides are basically half to half, and both opinions are strictly reasonable, but they can only choose one or the other to act, and if they choose the wrong one, the consequences will be very strict.

Zhu Tiezhen said: "I support the opinion of the commander-in-chief. One comes, I think. The chief instructor has been trapped by us, and the communication with the outside world has been temporarily cut off, and it is not possible for them to restore contact with the outside world in a short time, so we are still safe for the time being. Second, because of the problems in communications, our army can now arrange our positions and quickly mobilize troops, so that we can concentrate superior forces. On the contrary, the opposing forces are now leaderless, and they cannot afford to waste time, so they will only come to the rescue in batches, so that we can take advantage of it. So, all things considered, I think our win rate in this battle is more than 70%, which is worth fighting. ”

Shi Xinzhi objected: "I admit that the analysis of the commander-in-chief and Brother Zhu is very reasonable, but in war, we must never just stop at the basis of analysis, we must give full consideration to the combat effectiveness of the confrontation force and its comprehensive strength, and we do not have an advantage in this respect, and Hei Yansheng, the deputy commander-in-chief of the confrontation force, is an old-timer, even if his strength is not as good as the chief instructor, I am afraid that it is not far behind, and he will follow our script? I doubt it." And once we lose this big battle, we will have no chance to turn around. On the contrary, we can eat the chief instructor, no matter how we calculate, we are taking advantage of it, and it is much more convenient for us to act in the future, and it is the most important thing to eat in front of us first. ”

The two sides argued, each with its own reason, and the meeting had been discussed for two hours, but it still could not convince the other side. This made Han Tiefang very depressed, but there was nothing he could do, although now everyone recognized him as the commander-in-chief, no matter how good the commander-in-chief was, he couldn't just go his own way during the war, right? If half of the high-level officers didn't support you, how could this battle continue?

Han Tiefang said: "Brothers, let's rest for ten minutes first, sort out our thoughts, and then continue, we must make a decision as much as possible, time waits for no one." "Everyone agrees, after all, this is a matter of life and death for the entire Xuanwu Legion, once the decision is made, the bow is not returned to the Guan, it is too heavy, so heavy that they all feel a heavy pressure.

Han Tiefang let out a long breath, Shi Qingya pressed his hands on his shoulders, and said softly: "Husband, the opinion of the Chief of General Staff Zhou is also very reasonable, you don't have to think about it." "Qingya, do you think my opinion is unreasonable?" "No, husband, I think that if you can't convince from the front, it's better to convince from the side, put the facts and reason, and sometimes, you have to speak more tactfully. "I see, Qingya, thank you for the reminder, I think, I need to review my way of doing things, sometimes, I am dizzy. "Husband, it's good to win, but you have to consider the risks. ”

Ten minutes later, the meeting resumed. Han Tiefang took a deep breath and said, "Hongyuan's opinion is indeed very pertinent after careful consideration and analysis just now, but after my careful analysis, there are three reasons for our lack of confidence. First, there is the issue of the number of reinforcements for the opposing forces. Second, whether our army can withstand the attack of the opposing troops. Third, once it is possible that our army will not be able to block the attack of the opposing troops, can we eliminate one of the chief instructors in the shortest possible time, and then quickly withdraw from the battlefield. As long as these three problems are solved, I think we can fight them. ”

Everyone was stunned, but they immediately understood that this was indeed the case. Zhou Hongyuan also had a hint of interest: "Tie Fang, what you said is very reasonable, then, how are you going to convince me?" "The first question is the number of reinforcements. There is not much difference between the strength of the enemy and us, so we cannot have an advantage in terms of troops, even if our army first occupies a certain information advantage and can occupy a certain strength advantage in the initial stage, however, after suffering a little loss first, it is impossible for the opposing troops to use the tactic of adding fuel to deliver food to our army, and they will inevitably concentrate their forces to fight a decisive battle with us, so in terms of troops, our army will absolutely not be able to gain an advantage. I think that's what worries us the most. ”

Shi Xinzhi said: "Yes, besieging the city and sending reinforcements is a tactic that can produce miraculous results only under the premise that our army's strength is more sufficient than the enemy's army, at least when the number of troops is one or two times more than the enemy's army in a short period of time. ”

Han Tiefang said: "What if we make it impossible for the enemy army to concentrate superior forces?" "How is this possible? The chief instructor is trapped by us, and even if they are desperate, they have to come to save them, how can they not concentrate their forces?" Zhou Hongyuan retorted.

Han Tiefang said: "In war, there will always be a difference between the whole and the part, and we are fighting a big battle here, and in the final analysis, this is just a small battle in the entire exercise, and it is just a key battle." However, if it is a matter of victory or defeat in the whole exercise, I am afraid that we will not be able to do whatever the confrontational troops want. Therefore, I have a plan to mobilize small groups of our army and use large-scale camouflage techniques to disguise themselves as large forces to haunt multiple main planets, so that we can attract a large number of enemy troops and prevent them from reinforcing here. ”

Everyone was stunned: "Large-scale camouflage technology?" "Yes, as long as we use camouflage technology, for example, let a regiment-level force camouflage a large army with a battle city, and then, pretend to attack the main planet, in this way, I believe that the defenders of this main planet will never dare to send a large number of reinforcements lightly." In this way, we will be able to use small groups of troops to hold back their larger forces. Of course, this camouflage technique can't be hidden for too long, and can only be used for a short period of time, but this is enough for us to achieve our campaign objectives during this period of time. ”

War is a race against time, and sometimes, a minute, a second can decide the outcome of a battle. If such a camouflage technique is used and the opposing forces have no way to mobilize enough reinforcements in a short period of time, so that the Xuanwu Legion has a strength advantage in a short period of time, this battle is not unwinnable. Of course, such camouflage techniques may only delay the enemy for a day or two, or it may last for four or five days, and there is no way to determine the specifics.

Zhu Tiezhen agrees with Han Tiefang's opinion: " If we transfer out the five battle cities, give the enemy a false but real, real and false, first pretend to let them think that our war city is fake, and then, our real war city suddenly attack, in this way, they must not be able to judge how many real war cities we have to drag them back, in this way, we will definitely be able to win 20 days to a month, as long as we can inflict heavy damage on the enemy within a month, we will be able to occupy a greater advantage in future battles, this move is very good, I support it. ”

Everyone thinks that this move is very good, even if the enemy army sees through it, the loss is only a small force, and it does not hurt the vitality of the Xuanwu Legion. Zhou Hongyuan nodded after careful analysis and said, "I think this trick is okay, do you have any other opinions?" ”

Han Tiefang's spirit shook and said: "Okay, we have solved the first problem, and now it is the second question, this question, I think, I will answer it may not be able to convince everyone, sea breeze, fighting a defensive war, we are the first in the whole army, if we give you full command and let you command our entire army, how long do you think we can support it? However, we must take into account that the opposing troops may dispatch all the battle cities, and we have a big difference in equipment. ”

Yang Haifeng was stunned: "Commander-in-chief, I will command the whole army to fight a defensive battle?" "You are a master of the Yang family with an iron wall, who will you find if you don't fight a defensive battle?" This is your errand and you can't run away. Han Tiefang said with a smile. Everyone laughed loudly, indeed, besieging the city for reinforcements, sometimes it is a defensive battle, to prevent the enemy's attack, who to find a defense expert at this time?
