march to victory

"The straight-line distance from Niulanba to Niulan Town is about [-] kilometers, but there are many mountain roads here. Do you take the main road or the small road?" The real distance is definitely much longer than the straight-line distance on the map. More, maybe even five or six times the distance.

"The path."

"Do you think Li Yuda and the others will take the small road or the big road?"

"This... Company Commander Zhang, I really can't tell."

"Old Li, don't mind, I'm asking the wrong question." Zhang Qingshan immediately realized the stupidity of asking this question. With such uncertainty, who would dare to give a positive answer except Li Yuda himself?Immediately changed the way to ask: "Lao Li, are you familiar with the road conditions in this area?"

"I grew up in Niulanba since I was a child, and I am very familiar with this area."

"So, although there is only one main road between Niulanba and Niulan Town, there must be more than one small road. How many small roads do you have?"

"I know, there are two small roads. The one on the right has to be detoured, which is equivalent to walking more than ten miles. It is better to take the main road. The one on the right is much closer. I ran back from that small road. "

Zhang Qingshan nodded, pointed twice at Niulan Town and Niulanba on the map with his right index finger, and said with a smile: "Lao Li, if you take the main road, how long do you usually need to walk? Take this small road. How long will it take?"

"This... this... Zhang Lianchang, I have never calculated it. However, I guess it will take an incense stick of time... Well! There is only more, no less."

Niu Xiaohua at the side interjected: "Zhang Lianchang, when we calculate the time here, we usually calculate it by a bag of cigarettes, a cup of tea, a stick of incense, etc."

Zhang Qingshan was taken aback, and then secretly scolded himself as a forgetful thing: In the past, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford food, and the way of calculating time was the same.Now that I have a watch, I forget about it, and think that other people have watches like me. These days, in the eyes of many people, having a watch or pocket watch is a symbol of wealth, and even many people Not to mention how to look at the pocket watch, I don't know this thing at all.And Lao Li and the others knew at a glance that they were also poor people, and the way of calculating time was the same, but they insisted on asking for the specific time, wouldn't they be suspected of slapping their face?

However, military operations are extremely time-sensitive. If the specific time is not clear, it is very likely that good opportunities will be missed, and the enemy may even take advantage of the loopholes.Also, you have to know whether the enemy will take the main road or the small road when he falls to the ground?This is also a hassle.

"Old Li, don't mind, I was negligent, I'm sorry." While speaking, he offered Lao Li a cigarette and helped him light it.I thought in my heart that I had to send people to scout as soon as possible in order to buy more time to deal with the enemy.

"It's okay." Lao Li took a drag on his cigarette and grinned.Smiling and laughing, Lao Li suddenly slapped his thigh and said joyfully, "Company Commander Zhang, I know which way they will go, and I can use other methods to count the time."

Zhang Qingshan was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Old Li, tell me quickly."

"I just remembered that when I came here, I secretly observed their gathering and found that they were loading grain and bacon into the carriage. If you can use horses to consign it, you must not take the small road, but the big road." Needless to say, these grains and bacon The bacon is the mayor's compensation for Li Yuda's loss of his concubine.I figured that if it wasn't for worrying about Niulanba and fearing that his superiors would take the money and food he got, this Battalion Commander Li Yuda might not be so eager to rush back overnight, but would stay overnight with the mayor and continue to harm the people in the town.

Zhang Qingshan immediately smiled and gave Lao Li a thumbs-up: Life comes from details, and details determine success or failure. Lao Li's observation, which he usually doesn't care much about, now plays a decisive role, so that people don't need to spy, and they don't need to Waste time in this direction, and immediately know that it is time to ambush the enemy on the main road.

Maybe it was Zhang Qingshan's thumb that inspired Lao Li to take two puffs of cigarettes with a bright face, and his voice became firmer and stronger: "Zhang Lianchang, although I don't know how to calculate the specific time, but I'm sure, at this time , Li Yuda and the others definitely didn't even cover half of the journey, and it's not bad if they can cover one third of the journey."

"Oh~!" Zhang Qingshan looked at Lao Li in surprise, and asked, "Old Li, how did you make that determination? Tell me more specifically."

How can military operations be child's play? Naturally, we must do our best to gather all the useful information together in order to make the best and fastest strategy and deployment.

"I have been used to running wild since I was a child. I like to run in the mountains. Even on mountain roads, I trot all the way." Lao Li smiled slightly proudly: "This time the situation is urgent. In order to send the information back as soon as possible, I They spread their legs and ran all the way. And Li Yuda and his gang are old soldiers, not to mention that they can't outrun me, even if they run all the way back, they will be exhausted and rebelled long ago. In addition, it was dark, They must have walked all the way back slowly. Besides, when I ran back, they only packed half of the food and bacon, and they had to wait until they were all packed before starting back... So, I dare say, they will finish walking now at most One-third, it may even have just started."

Zhang Qingshan has great admiration for Lao Li: not because he can run tens of miles on the mountain road in one go, but because he admires his way of analyzing time.In modern words: Great power lies in the people!Lao Li is the best proof. How many people can think of and implement his calculation method?

"Come here, call the instructor, Deputy Company Commander Peng, several platoon leaders, and Captain Niu and Instructor Luo of the guerrillas, and hold an emergency meeting. Then let the troops catch the prisoners quickly. After they are caught, they will not interrogate them for the time being. Lock it up first, and hand it over to the guerrilla comrades for temporary custody... Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

"Look at me, I just knew I was talking to you, and I even forgot to pour my saliva for you." While pouring water for Lao Li, Zhang Qingshan ordered the comrades outside to bring some torches and turn the small conference room It shines like daylight.

Soon, everyone came running.

After everyone arrived, Zhang Qingshan briefly explained the matter and said with a smile: "Everyone, it seems that this battle must be fought. However, how to fight? Where to fight? Please express your opinions."

As soon as the voice fell, before everyone could speak, Hu Yingze got up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll talk to Lao Zhang first."

Saying that, he winked at Zhang Qingshan and walked out.

"Old Hu, at this moment, what is more important than eliminating Li Yuda?"

"Old Zhang, this matter is more important than eliminating Li Yuda."

Zhang Qingshan looked at Hu Yingze suspiciously.

"Old Zhang, I didn't say it about you, you said it yourself, it's already this time, what kind of democracy are you doing?"

Zhang Qingshan immediately understood what Hu Yingze meant, and was a little shocked, because it was a little different from what he thought.He asked tentatively, "Old Hu, what do you mean by that? Isn't our party a rule that we want democracy?"

"Old Zhang, political dictatorship is courting death; but military democracy is courting death, because military democracy requires too many people to talk, each person has one idea, and they think about a pot of porridge in a mess. How can it be possible to form a unified strategy? , it’s not up to you, the company commander, to make the final decision, rather than that, it’s better to decide as soon as you come..."

"That's not good?"

"What's wrong?" Hu Yingze persuaded with a bit of heartbreak: "After all, we are just a company with a hundred or so people, and they are all soldiers. What kind of democracy are you doing? Besides, in a local war like this, you, a company commander It can’t be settled with one word, so what do you want the company commander to do? It’s better for everyone to vote to resolve the matter... However, if all wars are resolved by voting, I don’t think there is any need to fight this battle. Otherwise, Not to mention missing a good opportunity, it is already a miracle not to be killed by the enemy at the door of the house before the voting results come out."

What commander in the world doesn't want to settle with one word?Zhang Qingshan is no exception, seeing Hu Yingze's instructor so persuasive, Zhang Qingshan has long been overjoyed.Immediately smiled and said: "That's fine, from now on, I will implement a one-word decision."

"En!" Hu Yingze nodded, but no matter how you look at Zhang Qingshan's smile, he feels that he is being fooled. He is afraid that the guy will take advantage of the lawless opportunity to engage in small hills, so he immediately gave Zhang Qingshan a 'vaccination', and added: "Of course, If you encounter something difficult to make a decision, or encounter some corresponding difficulties, you can also adopt a democratic approach and listen to everyone’s opinions. After all, we advocate that the minority obeys the majority.”

"Didn't you just say that in politics, you can't follow the minority to the majority in the military? Why..."

"roll!"

After cursing, she put her hands behind her back and went back to the meeting room.Zhang Qingshan bared his teeth, and walked in with a smile... Hu Yingze never imagined that many of Zhang Qingshan's "disobeying orders" in the future were inspired by his conversation, because when Zhang Qingshan argued with others, he always Use his words to hit back at others.

"Comrades, the situation has changed and time is running out, so I won't listen to everyone's opinions... I will also exercise the power of my company commander." Zhang Qingshan smiled and turned to the map fat, pointing to a map on the map. He said seriously, "According to the intelligence analysis, I decided to ambush Li Yuda's troops here, which is the place called Mopanzhai..."

"For this ambush, Comrade Niu Yingwu is asked to bring ten comrades as guides and set off with everyone."

"Yes!"

"The rest of the guerrillas, please lead by comrades Luo Dachun and Niu Xiaohua. They are mainly responsible for taking care of the captives and organizing manpower to support the main force to cross the river. At the same time, pay attention to the small road and send more spies out to prevent the enemy from dividing troops to attack Niu Xiaohua from the small road after they get the news. Lanba... three platoons and one squad are left to cooperate with the comrades of the guerrillas, but the main duty is to take care of the prisoners. If anything happens to the prisoners, Comrade Qi Zixuan, I don't care if you are there or not, I will only ask you to take responsibility .”

"Yes!"

"I led a platoon of comrades to set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain on the left side of Mopanzhai; Lao Peng led the third platoon to block their rear; Lao Hu, would you like to lead the second platoon to block them in front, or would you like to stay here?"

To be honest, Zhang Qingshan originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere by asking this question, because he thought that with Lao Hu's current enthusiasm for fighting, he would definitely choose the former.Unexpectedly, after Hu Yingze pondered for a while, he actually said: "The number of people left to take care of the captives is a bit small. I'd better stay and do the work of these captives by the way."

Zhang Qingshan immediately admired Hu Yingze's choice: he is worthy of being an old party member, he really has nothing to say about the overall situation, he is absolutely self-aware, and will not add chaos indiscriminately.

Immediately, Zhang Qingshan deployed again. After checking his watch, he said seriously: "Time is running out, everyone hurry up and take action... By the way, don't forget to take all the light and heavy machine guns you captured."

Hu Yingze at the side sighed, and sighed leisurely: "It would be great if there were guns, and blow up these bastards to death!"

Make everyone laugh...
