Because of the decision to take Wanjiangshan Island, one of Wang Kou's territories, Zhang Yongjie knew that it would inevitably attract fierce revenge from Wang Kou and the Japanese Kou.

In the rivers and lakes before, Zhang Yongjie also fought people, but this is the first time that he led the crowd to fight, and he couldn't even think of fighting people by boat on the sea.

In Zhang Yongjie's heart, there is no bottom, because Zhang Yongjie has no experience in this war.

Zhang Yongjie did not dare to be careless at all, and made three plans, first of all, more than ten brothers have been sent to Nanjing Hu Butang for help. Secondly, step up the training of the team, strengthen the warship, accumulate weapons, and so on.

The division is unknown, it must not be done, and in the end, everyone discussed and pulled up the big banner of the 'Ningshan Folk Extermination Brigade'.

The role of the flag is obvious, only the flag fluttering in the wind can better unite people's hearts.

Watching the banner waving in the wind, the Ming men present all felt a feeling of fighting on the battlefield in their hearts, and Zhang Yongjie also felt a burst of pride in his heart.

Zhang Yongjie remembered that in his previous career, due to his lack of understanding of information, he was like a blind man, unable to make accurate judgments on things, and was confused.

If you don't understand the information in the process of this war, you are very likely to lose the war, and the price of losing the war is a large number of dead people.

Throughout the ages, have there been fewer examples of these battles that have been defeated because of information asymmetry? Let's not talk about specific battle columns, let's just talk about some ideas on the art of war, and don't giving stoves to show strength and reducing stoves to show weakness all of these are all information wars?

Zhang Yongjie thought about it and felt that Lao Xie was an old fritter with a lot of flexibility and ability, so he summoned Lao Xie to the account and appointed him as the captain of the pigeon team, responsible for collecting, transmitting, and distributing information.

In the previous days, except for the first time, Zhang Yongjie deliberately asked Lao Xie to carry the tools left by the widow alone, which was a little embarrassing for Lao Xie. At other times, Zhang Yongjie didn't deliberately embarrass him, but he didn't reuse Lao Xie either.

Information is the eyes of a team, this errand is very important, related to the survival of the entire team, Lao Xie also knows the importance of this errand.

Lao Xie was very grateful for Zhang Yongjie's appointment, and on the same day, he selected more than 50 more clever sailors from the team, and selected more than 10 small boats to form a pigeon team.

After a passionate speech, Lao Xie led the members of the pigeon team to sail out to sea and inquire about the news in the vast sea.

Mo Qian, as a second coward, in order to atone for his crimes, he followed Zhang Yongjie at any time, although Zhang Yongjie did not take the initiative to ask him, he always tried every possible way to find an opportunity to speak.

Zhang Yongjie decided to lead the fleet to the sea to meet Wang Kou. So Mo Qian immediately stood up and put forward his opinion.

I saw Mo Qian say: "May I ask Leader Li, can we compete with more than 50 big ships of Wang Kou on the sea with these more than 30 small boats?"

Mo Qian's question, Zhang Yongjie couldn't answer, because Zhang Yongjie didn't have a bottom in his heart.

Mo Qian continued: "Back then, my Ming Taizu fought a decisive battle with Chen Wei on Poyang Lake and annihilated Chen Wei's 600,000 troops. How can this miracle be easily replicated?"

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the king of Wu, fought a decisive battle with Chen Youliang on Poyang Lake, and Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang's big boat with less leftovers. But obviously, Mo Qian didn't think that Zhang Yongjie would be able to replicate such a miracle at this moment.

Mo Qian continued: "Poyang Lake is an inner lake, and the water surface is relatively calm, how can it be compared with the rough sea? What's more, Poyang Lake is so big, as long as you hold the mouth of the lake, Chen can't run back, but the sea is different, and it is impossible to trap Wang Kou's fleet at that time. ”

Zhang Yongjie was jealous of Mo Qian Erkou's identity, and he never wanted him to ask about the strategy, at this time, there was nothing to do, and it didn't matter if he listened to his thoughts.

But at this moment, everyone is united and full of passion, how can everyone listen to discordant words? Zhang Yongjie was afraid that Mo Qian's words would cause everyone to be unhappy, so he immediately pulled Mo Qian to the mountain of the island and quietly asked.

Looking at the sea from the mountain, as far as the eye can see, the sea breeze blows, and there is a sense of coolness. Zhang Yongjie said lightly: "Then what do you think?"

Mo Qian said: "At this moment, the enemy is strong and I am weak, we can only rely on the island to attract Wang Kou to land on the island, and we will fight Wang Kou to the death on the island." If you go to sea for a naval battle, the chances of winning are basically nothing. ”

Zhang Yongjie pondered for a moment, if everyone cowered in the island, if a big war was triggered, the Ningshan Folk Extermination Brigade would be completely in the situation of fighting the trapped beasts, and if the battle was defeated, the whole army would be killed.

Zhang Yongjie asked: "Do you think we have a chance of winning the battle on the island?" ”

Mo Qian said: "Fighting on the island, we have a five-point chance of winning. Although there are many Wang Kou, we can rely on the existing fortifications to do a good job of defense. We are the defenders, and it is by no means so easy for Wang Kou to take us down. ”

Of course, the attacker has to come up with more men than the defender to have a chance of winning. Although the number of Ningshan Folk Exterminators is insufficient, it can also enhance its combat effectiveness by relying on the terrain.

Zhang Yongjie nodded slightly, motioning for Mo Qian to continue, Mo Qian continued: "As long as we resist Wang Kou's first wave of offensive, it is entirely possible to prompt Wang Kou to blockade Wanjiangshan Island and besiege it without attacking. ”

Zhang Yongjie knew what it meant to besiege but not attack, that is, to blockade Wanjiangshan Island, so that the outside supplies could not enter, and the team on the island could be trapped to death after a long time.

Zhang Yongjie somewhat understood what Mo Qian meant, if Wang Kou chose to blockade the island and tried to trap our Ningshan extermination brigade to death, it would be impossible.

Because there is a nest of tuna fish on this side of Wanjiangshan Island, it can provide military rations for everyone, and distilled seawater can also obtain enough fresh water. Obviously, Wang Kou didn't know that Wanjiangshan Island could live on tuna.

Mo Qian continued: "As long as Wang Kou besieges Wanjiangshan Island, we can hold on to it and wait for reinforcements, and when Hu Butang's army arrives, we will lead our ships to the sea and join forces with Lord Butang's army to encircle Wang Kou and defeat Kou in one battle." ”

Zhang Yongjie has never fought before, and at this moment, he heard Mo Qian say that the head is the Tao, one link after another, and he thinks this is also a good plan.

But there is a key point in this plan, that is, whether the situation here is conveyed to Hu Butang's ears in a timely manner. What if the brother who was sent back to Nanjing to report for help encountered some accident on the way, causing Lord Hu Butang to not know the situation of Wanjiangshan Island at all?

In addition, what kind of situation the entire 'war situation of extermination' is at this moment, even if Lord Mintang knows about the changes in Wanjiangshan Island, whether he can draw troops to come to the rescue, these are all unknown questions.

Zhang Yongjie waved his hand to signal Mo Qian to step back, and wait for himself to think about it before making a decision.

This night, Zhang Yongjie fell into deep thought, the war has not yet begun, and the entire strategic attempt has not yet been determined, is this doomed to a defeat?

Zhang Yongjie calmed down and thought about it, if Lord Hu Butang could receive the news in time and send a large army to the rescue, it would definitely be the best.

In this way, the Ningshan folk extermination brigade will stick to Wanjiangshan Island, and it will bloom from the center at that time, and the people of the ministry will encircle the Japanese invaders inside and out. It's really a no-go approach.

But this solution requires too many possibilities, too many possibilities means too many uncertainties, and if there is an accident in one of the links, it can lead to the loss of the whole thing.

Therefore, Zhang Yongjie must think clearly, what should he do if Lord Hu Butang does not receive the news, or he can't come back.

Zhang Yongjie thought about it and felt that there was indeed a danger of annihilation of the whole army at this time, and there was no good plan.

Zhang Yongjie felt a headache and immediately slapped the table, what kind of battlefield would he go to if he was afraid of death? At the beginning, everyone could have wreaked havoc on Wanjiangshan Island, and then quickly left by boat and fled back to the mainland.

But at that time, everyone did not choose that way, but chose to take Wanjiangshan Island, which proves that everyone is not afraid of death, and everyone is ready to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Even if he dies in battle, he will die vigorously and meaningfully.

It was useless to think so much, Zhang Yongjie decided to rest for the night first, prepare for tomorrow morning, and then convey the deployment of the operation to everyone, and mobilize everyone to prepare for a decisive battle with Wang Kou.

As soon as Zhang Yongjie fell asleep, Lao Xie came back with a very important news, Wang Kou's fleet could reach Wanjiangshan Island tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

What? Today is only 23 March, doesn't it mean that Wang Kou will not be able to return until early April at the earliest?

Zhang Yongjie was stunned and said, "Didn't Mo Qian say that it would take ten days to return? It's only been three days now, why did you arrive so quickly?"

Lao Xie patted his thigh and said, "Those words of Erkou can't be easily believed. The brothers of our pigeon squad saw Wang Kou's warships eighty nautical miles to the east, densely packed, with more than 50 large ships, coming to this side. ”

The facts cannot be changed, Wang Kou can indeed kill Wanjiangshan Island in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Yongjie must make a decision immediately.

Zhang Yongjie asked, "Do you think our strength can compete with Wang Kou?"

Lao Xie said anxiously: "With all due respect, looking at Wang Kou's fleet, I think that if we want to attack Wang Kou, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no hope of victory." We shouldn't have listened to those two cowards in the first place. ”

Zhang Yongjie took a big breath, so it seems that this battle is really fierce, but even so, how can he have stage fright at this moment?

Lao Xie said: "We are all Ming men, and no one is afraid of death." But in my opinion, this battle is indeed a sure defeat, and there is no possibility of victory. Thinking about those Erkou, they deliberately spread the wrong news, just to let us stay here, lead Wang Kou's main force to maneuver, and then serve us in a pot. ”

Zhang Yongjie patted Lao Xie on the shoulder and said, "Since you are the captain of the pigeon team appointed by me, I will definitely believe the news you sent back." ”

Lao Xie said: "According to my meaning, none of these Erkou are good things, they look harmless to humans and animals now, but they have been acting as Erkou for so many years, how can they not do heinous things? ”

Zhang Yongjie pondered for a moment, these Erkou are indeed not good things as pirates, and Mo Qian and the others are even more hateful, and they actually conveyed to themselves the fake news that Wang Kou would take ten days at the earliest, disrupting the audio-visual, inducing himself to take Wanjiangshan Island and fall into a predicament, at least this Mo Qian must be killed.

Zhang Yongjie was angry, usually, others deceive themselves, if there is not much harm, then they can laugh it off.

But at this moment, under the banner of 'Ningshan folk extermination', it is equivalent to conveying the wrong news in the army, that is, looking for death, how can you blame me Zhang Yongjie for not being smart enough and falling for you?

In the military, we don't play this trick of guessing with you, as long as the news and facts you spread are not correct, we can directly engage in military law.

Zhang Yongjie had made up his mind, and immediately whispered to Lao Xie: "Don't make a noise for the time being, you pass the news first, let our original brother prepare the big knife, let's gather in the square tomorrow morning, and then settle accounts with those two cowards." ”

Lao Xie said: "There are more than 700 of our brothers, and they don't necessarily all know each other, what if the news reaches Erkou's side?"

Zhang Yongjie said: "Two insurances, one for our brothers, let our brothers prepare a black strap and tie it to their right shoulder." Two insurances, set up incisions. ”

Lao Xie nodded, this is a good way, wearing a black strap on the shoulder, can effectively distinguish his brother from Erkou.

If the two teams meet each other, they can be determined that they are their own people through the first half of the sentence and the second half of the cut.

Zhang Yongjie issued the incision this time: Yang Fan set sail, and Ningshan destroyed the Japanese.

If it weren't for the internal brothers, it would be impossible to answer the incision indiscriminately, Lao Xie nodded, knowing that Zhang Yongjie must have made up his mind to liquidate Erkou tomorrow, so he happily took the order and arranged the deployment.

Whether to liquidate all the two criminals, Zhang Yongjie did not make up his mind at the moment, he just had the idea of getting rid of Mo Qian at the moment. This Mo Qian conveyed the wrong news in front of the army, and it was justified to kill him.

But these more than 200 two cougues, Zhang Yongjie couldn't bear to start together, after all, he couldn't beat more than 200 and 200 cowards to death with a stick just because Mo Qian was alone.

I still have to think about it first, after all, it is more than 200 human lives.

Zhang Yongjie immediately called two more of his own brothers and went to summon Mo Qian to come, saying that there was a major military matter to discuss, and Mo Qian would be executed first.

But the two brothers searched for a long time, but they couldn't find Mo Qian, and Mo Qian didn't even sleep in the house in the middle of the night.

Could it be that Mo Qian knew that he was going to kill him soon, so he hid first? But at this juncture, the time is so short, it is impossible for Mo Qian to receive the news.

There must be a problem with this money, and only people who have ghosts in their hearts can hide in Tibet at any time.

Zhang Yongjie immediately asked the two brothers not to do it, so as not to make Erkou alarmed.

Zhang Yongjie decided not to look for someone in a big way for the time being, but went out to check in person, looking for Mo Qian, and seeing what tricks Mo Qian was doing.

Zhang Yongjie performed the light technique of 'Phantom Two Thousand', and immediately felt around the island, first walked around, and then looked at the situation.

But at this time, it was already late at night, and it was not easy to find someone to come out of the Wanjiangshan Islands here, which is composed of twelve islands.

There is a remote island behind the left side of the main island of Wanjiangshan Islands, which is the farthest from the main island, which is a barren and populated place on weekdays, but at this moment there is a dim light coming, and there must be people on the island at this moment.

Zhang Yongjie frowned, there must be a demon when things go wrong, there are people where there shouldn't be, go over and take a look first.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie jumped directly into the sea and swam towards the outlying island.
