my bright sword career

Chapter 151 Needless to say
After a movie was shown, both the head of the headquarters and the ordinary staff and staff felt a great shock. It turns out that the positional warfare of modern warfare can still be fought like this.

The planes in the sky were bombing and strafing, and the artillery on the ground was shooting at the infantry. During this period, it was accompanied by the large-scale use of anti-aircraft firepower and the rapid interspersed advance of the armored troops. The infantry followed closely and occupied the position. During the battle, the smoke of gunpowder almost enveloped the entire battlefield. .

Especially the violent firepower output of the Liantai militia is eye-opening. The Liantai militia's style of play is actually very traditional, which is to rely on the frontal position to carry out resolute resistance, cover the rear with artillery firepower, and then use anti-aircraft firepower to protect the entire position , and finally at night, taking advantage of the fast mobility of the armored force to quickly advance and intersperse, divide and encircle the Japanese army attacking the whole army, and finally defeat the 41st Division.

If the Eighth Route Army in the past relied on its dexterous agility to fight against its opponents, then the Liantai militia relied on its own strength to fight against its opponents.

It doesn't matter which of these two combat methods is good or bad, but when it comes to the fierceness of the battle and the damage to the opponent, the former is far inferior to the latter.

Since it was getting late after the movie was finished, and the troops had just arrived, there were still many things to deal with, so Gao Hongming did not stay any longer, but took his leave and left.

Gao Hongming left, but the chiefs did not go back to rest, but came to the conference room at the same time, and immediately the guards brought water bottles to pour water for the chiefs.

The deputy commander-in-chief looked at the boiling water in the teacup, waved his hand and said to his guards: "Little Lu, go and make a big pot of coffee that Captain Gao just sent, and let everyone taste it. Let's open the foreign meat."

Everyone was delighted when they heard it, and the left deputy chief of staff smiled and said: "The deputy commander in chief is thoughtful, knowing that everyone is tired from watching movies, so make coffee for us to refresh ourselves."

The deputy commander-in-chief also smiled: "I just borrowed flowers to present to the Buddha. It's rare to meet a rich man who gives us something. If we don't eat it, wouldn't it be a disappointment to his good intentions."

Everyone laughed again.

"Come here... everyone smokes." Political Commissar Deng took out a pack of Lucky cigarettes from his pocket and let everyone smoke. "The deputy commander-in-chief invites everyone to drink coffee, then I will invite everyone to smoke."

Everyone smiled and took the cigarettes, lit them one by one and smoked them. After taking two puffs, Mr. He praised: "This foreign product is different. It tastes much smoother than my dry tobacco."

After taking a few sips of coffee and a few puffs of cigarettes, the deputy commander said, "Everyone has watched the documentary just now, so let's all share our opinions now."

Mr. He has the most straightforward personality, and after puffing out a puff of smoke, he said: "When we first received the commendation telegram from Chief Yan in the World War II area, we all took this commendation order as a joke, but now it seems that we all underestimated Gao Hongming and The combat effectiveness of his militia."

"Yes."

Political Commissar Deng also said with emotion, "With one regiment's strength against one division of the Japanese army, I would have won the battle in the end. I never even dared to think about it. Although there are certainly some Japanese commanders who were eager to win and rashly fought against the Japanese army." The whole army made a big mistake when attacking, and Gao Hongming's troops occupied a favorable terrain to wait for work, but it can also be seen from this that their combat effectiveness is strong."

Teacher Lin suddenly asked the Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo beside him: "Old Zuo, you are the only one of us who has visited Gao Hongming's lair in public. Do you think we have a chance to win over this Colonel Gao?"

As soon as Mr. Lin said this, everyone's eyes turned to Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, and everyone's eyes showed hope.

Everyone has seen Gao Hongming's arrogance today. If he is allowed to win him over, it will be of great help to the Eighth Route Army.

Facing everyone's eyes on Qi Yi, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said helplessly: "Mr. He, I can understand your idea. I have considered your idea a long time ago, but in the end I found it really difficult, so I gave up."

Master He frowned, "Tell me what difficulties you have, let's think of a solution together, maybe we can come up with a solution."

The left deputy chief of staff hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Okay, let me talk about his marital status first. He now has a wife and two concubines in his family, and the possibility of increasing the number in the future is not ruled out. What do you say when you come here?"

Mr. He was stunned when he heard this, "This kid, at such a young age, he actually married his concubine like others, it's too outrageous."

The left deputy chief of staff gave him a blank look: "He will neither steal nor rob. If you like me, you will give the dowry, and the eight-carrying sedan chair will bring the woman in. What qualifications do we have to say about him?"

"yes……"

Everyone frowned, everything else is easy to talk about, but this kind of men and women's affairs are the most difficult to handle, otherwise there would be no saying that housework is difficult for upright officials since ancient times

Besides, the rice has already been cooked, so they can't run over to Gao Hongming and tell Gao Hongming, young man, we are very optimistic about you, come and work with us, but you have to divorce the other two wives first.

I'm afraid they will turn your face on you as soon as you finish speaking, saying that you would rather demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage, that's not the way to do things.

But it would be even worse to ignore this matter. Monogamy is an iron discipline, and no one can violate it. This is a matter of principle.

Seeing the resentful expressions on everyone's faces, Mr. Liu said, "Okay, everyone, don't think too much. To be honest, Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the independent regiment, once reported to me about the issue of Head Gao.

He also tried to persuade Gao Hongming to let him join us, but he was also defeated by this problem.But I don't think it's a big deal. Judging from Gao Hongming's actions these days, he is very supportive of our Eighth Route Army and has good intentions.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that the weapons and equipment he gave us these days are enough to form two main regiments, not to mention the medicines and supplies that are almost free, there is such a person who is willing to sincerely People who make friends with us and help us, what are we not satisfied with, they don't necessarily have to let them join us. "

"I agree with Mr. Liu's words."

Political commissar Deng on the side also said, "Besides, we have to think about it for Commander Gao. Don't forget, everyone, he is from Liantai County. Kou fellow, once he joins us, what will he do with his whole family? We can’t let him leave his family and career to join us, it’s too unkind.

Furthermore, once he joins us, whether Yan Xishan will be angered by this is something we have to consider.So in my opinion, instead of letting him join us, it is better to maintain the current relationship, which is better for both parties, what do you think? "

Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this, and the deputy commander-in-chief nodded slowly for a long time: "What Commissar Deng said makes sense, we should not only consider our own interests in doing things, but also consider issues from the perspective of the other party, that's how we get along as friends. way."

The words of the deputy commander-in-chief seemed to be the final word, and everyone stopped discussing this issue.

Then, the left deputy chief of staff said again, "Now the first phase of the Hundred Regiments War is over, and we will start the second phase of the battle. For Gao Hongming's regiment, which unit should we assign him to? Should we discuss this issue?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several teachers flashed with shock.

Who wouldn't be envious of a unit like Gao Hongming with armored units, heavy artillery units, strong troops and strong combat effectiveness?

To put it bluntly, whoever owns the Liantai militia team will at least increase their confidence by at least three points when facing the Japanese army.Just like Kong Jie's evaluation of Li Yunlong, give this kid a division, and he dares to fight Taiyuan.

In the same way, judging from the content of today's documentary, if any division commander had Gao Hongming's troops in his hands, he would dare to fight even against an oddly full division of the Japanese army.

It's just that there is only one army, and there are too many people who want it. What should we do when there are too many monks and too few food?
After thinking for a long time, Master He tentatively said, "Why don't we discuss with Commander Gao and divide his troops into three parts for us to use?"

"this is not good!"

"Absolutely not."

As soon as Mr. He finished speaking, he was immediately met with opposition.

Commander Liu said solemnly: "I don't agree with this. He just arrived, and we're going to split up his troops. What do you make them think? Maybe they think we're going to annex his troops."

"It's not good."

Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo also objected: "Our Eighth Route Army has always done things aboveboard, and we will never do things that are sorry for our friends. He came to cooperate with us with full sincerity, but we discussed that we should split him up. This is not true. Hospitality."

Master He said helplessly: "I didn't say that I really want to split them up. What I mean is to temporarily divide his troops into several parts to cooperate with us in fighting, and return to the organizational system after the battle is over."

"It doesn't work either."

Mr. Liu also expressed his opinion, "We should try our best to make our friends feel our sincerity when we treat them, instead of causing misunderstanding between them and us. We can't do this kind of thing that destroys friendship.

My opinion is this, we might as well use the Liantai militia as a mobile force, directly commanded by the headquarters, where it needs support and where it will be deployed, what do you think? "

"I think I can."

"I agree."

Several chiefs looked at each other, and all nodded in agreement.

For a team as powerful as the Liantai militia, it is not appropriate to assign it to any division alone. It is better to be directly under the headquarters and be sent there wherever it is needed. In this way, no one can gossip.

"Well, that's the end of this issue. Next, we will discuss the second phase of the battle plan."

The deputy commander-in-chief said: "According to the July [-] declaration and the July [-] decision, the entire force of our Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army will continue to disrupt the traffic of the Japanese army and destroy the strongholds that have penetrated into the base areas to achieve the purpose of reducing the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

In this regard, after discussing with Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, I believe that our army can conduct two battles at the same time, namely the Battle of Lailing and the Battle of Yuliao.

The specific deployment is as follows. The Lailing campaign was dominated by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the 115th Division cooperated in the operation, divided into left and right wings to attack Laiyuan County, and destroyed the railway and destroyed the surrounding bunkers.

In addition, let’s talk about the Battle of Yuliao, you see. "

The deputy commander pointed to the map and said: "This road from Yangquan to Yushe via Pingding, Heshun, and Liao counties is the deepest road the Japanese army has penetrated into our Taihang base area. The Japanese army intends to extend the road to the southwest, passing through Wuxiang and Bai The Shanxi railway is connected to achieve the purpose of dividing the Daxing area and flexibly mobilizing the troops of the Zhengtai and Baijin lines.

Among them, the Yuliao section is 45 kilometers long. There are 8 strongholds along the line, including Yushe, Yanbi, Wangjing, Guantou, Pushang, Xiaolingdi, Shixia, and Liaoxian. . "

The task of your 129th Division is to eliminate the enemy from Yushe to Xiaolingdi by surprise attack, regain the stronghold and destroy the road, and take advantage of the momentum to advance to Liao County, take the opportunity to recover Liao County, and cut off the hand extended by the Japanese. Can you do it? can you do it? "

Several division commanders nodded, and then Division Commander Lin said: "Deputy Commander, let us cooperate with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to fight, but one thing is that the terrain around Laiyuan County is flat, and the Japanese army has deployed an armored force around. It will be very difficult to deal with, I think the Liantai militia will be assigned to our division in this battle to enhance the anti-armor ability of the troops, what do you think?"

Well... this guy really never forgets about the Liantai militia.

The deputy commander-in-chief looked at Mr. Lin helplessly, "Old Lin, this matter is not only up to us to decide, but also to ask Gao Hongming to see if he is willing. Although he came here to assist us in the battle in name, but We have to respect other people's opinions."

Commander Liu also said: "Deputy Commander, the battle of Yuliao we launched was not easy. Such a long road line is most suitable for armored troops to march. Once there is a battle, if there is an armored force for quick support, this battle will be good. There are a lot of fights, so our 129th division also needs support."

Commander Liu has always been known as a modest and kind man, and today he finally couldn't help but open his mouth to rob people. This shows how popular Gao Hongming and his troops are in the eyes of these army leaders.

The deputy commander-in-chief was amused, and the pencil in his hand fell on the map, "Well, you really grabbed it. Well, I won't favor anyone today, and you can ask Gao Hongming for his opinion when he comes over tomorrow. , he can go wherever he wants, what do you think?"

"This method is good." Mr. Liu agreed.

Seeing Mr. Liu's smiling expression, although Mr. Lin and Mr. He had no choice but to say nothing, everyone knew that Gao Hongming had the best relationship with Li Yunlong of the independent regiment, and Li Yunlong's independent regiment belonged to the 129th division. Needless to say who is biased towards?
