Chapter 332 Is this reasonable?

Is the military sand table easy to make?
To be honest, it's really easy. Anyone who has worked as a staff officer for a year or two can make it out as long as he is given a certain amount of time, but it is not so easy to make a lifelike and well-proportioned sand table.

This requires extremely detailed and rigorous surveying of the terrain. Take Guojialing where the Third Army is stationed as an example. If you want to make Guojialing into a sand table model, you must know whether it is easy to understand the real height of Guojialing and its geological type. Excavation and so on.

Otherwise, when you make it, it will be marked as a dirt mountain, but when you send troops up to dig fortifications, if you see that the mountain is full of stones, then you will be finished. This is going to be a big deal, so from this point of view It is not easy to make a military sand table.

Now, in the eyes of Brigadier Chen and Tang Huaiyuan, the sand table made by Chi Yaohui is not an exaggeration to describe it as lifelike, including various terrains, roads, woods, and even the Liantai militia, the third army, the eighth route army, and even the various units of the Japanese army. Arming is all marked on it.

It can be said that if this sand table falls into the hands of Gangcun Ningci now, Gangcun Ningci can launch a full-scale attack on Yangping Town, Guojialing, and Gaojiazhuang according to the conditions marked on the sand table without any hesitation. kind of.

That's why Brigadier Chen and Tang Huaiyuan praised them just now.

Tang Huaiyuan stared at the sand table obsessively for more than ten minutes, and then said with emotion: "Brother Gao, brother, I have been in the army for dozens of years, and I have seen hundreds if not thousands of sand tables, but they are so exquisite and detailed. The sand table is the first time.

I don't know who made this sandbox? "

Hearing Tang Huaiyuan's praise, Gao Hongming smiled slightly, and pointed to Chi Yaohui standing aside: "Brother Tang, Brigadier Chen, he made this sand table."

Chi Yaohui stood at attention and saluted them both: "Chi Yaohui, Chief of Staff of the Liantai County Militia, has seen the two officers!"

Brigadier Chen sized up Chi Yaohui, and asked with great interest, "How long did Chief of Staff Chi graduate from Whampoa?"

During this period, most of the officers in the national army graduated from Whampoa, so Brigadier Chen asked this question.

But Chi Yaohui shook his head: "Reporting to Mr. Chen, the staff department studied at the Staff College of the Military Academy in Berlin, Germany, and returned to China in 27 years of the Republic of China. It was not fortunate to study at the Whampoa Military Academy."

Gao Hongming said from the side: "It is also because Zijie did not graduate from Huangpu, so after returning to China, he can only work as a small combat staff officer in the 39th Regiment of the 187th Division of the Central Army.

In the past few years, he has made great achievements many times, but because he was not born in Huangpu, he has not been able to get a promotion. After three years of wasting, he was not recruited by me until this month. "

Brigadier Chen sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

Today's Central Army is almost entirely dominated by officers from the Whampoa faction, and it is very difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold in it.

Looking at Chi Yaohui, who was wearing a 36-style army field uniform, standing upright beside the sand table, Brigadier Chen felt moved, and said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, since you made this sand table yourself, it shows that you are against both the enemy and us today. You are already familiar with the current situation, now please tell a few of us about the current situation between the enemy and us?"

Chi Yaohui glanced at Gao Hongming slightly, and Gao Hongming laughed, "Now that we have established a joint command headquarters, with me, Army Commander Tang, and Brigadier Commander Chen as the commanders, his orders are also my orders, so you can give Commander Chen the command." Let’s explain it to Chief Tang.”

"Yes!"

Chi Yaohui nodded, picked up a small wooden stick on the side and pointed to a dangerous peak on the north side: "Three officers, please look, from north to west and then to south, they are Guojialing, Yangping Town and Gaojiazhuang.

These three places form a character shape with the horns of each other, firmly guarding the surrounding area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers. Of these three places, Guojialing is the most dangerous and occupies the most places, followed by Gaojiazhuang , this is the only passage from Zhongtiao Mountain to Shanxi. Once this place is lost, our army's rear will be completely cut off, so these two places are must-haves for the two armies. "

Hearing this, Tang Huaiyuan and Brigadier Chen looked at each other and asked, "Chief of Staff, what about Yangping Town, isn't this place important?"

"Of course not." Chi Yaohui shook his head: "Yangping Town has the most gentle terrain and the largest population among our army's positions, but it is also the throat connecting Guojialing and Gaojiazhuang. If Yangping Town falls, Guojialing and The connection between Gaojiazhuang will be cut off, and the defenders of the two places will also become alone.

Once Yangping Town is lost, Guojialing and Gaojiazhuang will also be lost, so in my opinion, Guojialing and Gaojiazhuang are like the two ends of the pole, and Yangping Town is the support point of the pole, and neither part can be lost. "

"Well, it makes sense." Brigadier Chen and Tang Huaiyuan nodded. They had already reached a consensus on this point, so there was no surprise that Chi Yaohui could say this.

Brigadier Chen continued: "Then what's your opinion on the current deployment tactics of our army? Or do you have a different opinion?"

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Tang, what are you two doing? Are you recruiting a chief of staff?" Gao Hongming on the side couldn't stand it anymore. Isn't this a clear embarrassment for his own chief of staff?
You must know that the current deployment is based on the tacit understanding of the three parties. Each of the three parties guards one place and does not belong to each other. This way, the occurrence of conflicts can be reduced and avoided as much as possible. But now these two want Chi Yaohui to evaluate them What do you ask Chi Yaohui to say about the strategic deployment?
Brigadier Chen was about to speak, but Chi Yaohui laughed: "Mr. Chen, if you don't say it, I will bring it up too. On the surface, the deployment of our army seems to be that each of the three parties guards one side, and everyone does not disturb each other. It seems perfect to be able to support each other, but it seems to me a huge waste."

At this time, it was not only Gao Hongming and the three who were listening to Chi Yaohui, but also the staff officers of the Third Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Liantai Militia all surrounded him in unison.

Everyone is in the same business, and of course they want to hear what the other party has to say. After hearing this, everyone reacted differently.

Some were thoughtful, some were disapproving, and some were showing disdain. It's just that the three officers are all here. Of course, no one would be stupid enough to jump out to object. It's just that nearly a hundred pairs of eyes all looked at Chi Yaohui , they all wanted to hear what the new chief of staff of the Liantai militia had to say.

Faced with so many gazes, people with weaker psychological qualities would have been at a loss for a long time.

But Chi Yaohui still looked calm, and pointed the wooden stick in his hand at Guojialing and said loudly: "Everyone, please see, Guojialing is the most important terrain among our three positions, but it is also the smallest in area, only about ten or so. square kilometers, but we do deploy the most troops here, is this reasonable?"
