Chapter 249 What is the real battle plan?
"In general, the Chief of Staff's battle plan is also based on stability, reducing the scope of operations as much as possible, and then exchanging the greatest victory for the lowest loss. From an overall perspective, the Chief of Staff's battle plan may not be able to capture Ping'an County.
But it is enough for us to gain a lot of benefits, and the losses are relatively small."
After the chief of staff finished explaining his battle plan, the brigade commander and the political commissar both nodded.
Then the brigade commander gave a comment on the chief of staff's combat plan.
"There is no other way. After all, the Chief of Staff is speaking from his own perspective and from the perspective of our entire Taihang Military Region.
He has considered more than Li Yunlong and the others.
Standing in a different position, the scenery you see is naturally different. The Chief of Staff's battle plan is relatively better than the one submitted by Li Yunlong."
Listening to the brigade commander's summary, the political commissar spoke up to explain on behalf of Li Yunlong and others that there were some flaws in the combat plan of Li Yunlong and others, but that was only because Li Yunlong and others were starting from their own perspective, not from the overall situation.
So it is normal that the battle plan is not as good as the Chief of Staff.
It’s not that Li Yunlong and others are incompetent, but that Li Yunlong and others are just regiment leaders, so they naturally look at things from the perspective of the regiment leader.
It is already very good to consider the Taihang Military Region.
We cannot expect Li Yunlong and others to look so far ahead and consider the overall situation.
"Li Yunlong and his team have great potential, but they only have potential, and this potential has not yet been fully transformed into ability.
But it can be seen that Li Yunlong and others have also grown a lot."
At the end of the story, the political commissar suddenly laughed.
The brigade commander, who originally wanted to hear the political commissar talk about Li Yunlong's growth, saw the political commissar suddenly laugh and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Political Commissar, what are you laughing at? Tell me, what do you think Li Yunlong has grown into?"
"Brigade Commander, at least Li Yunlong now knows to report the battle plan to the brigade headquarters first and then launch the attack after the brigade headquarters agrees, instead of doing it the same way as before.
Execute first and ask for permission later. No matter whether he asks for permission or not, we will talk about it after we’ve killed him.”
Hearing the political commissar's words, the brigade commander and the chief of staff also laughed.
“He grew up shit.
It’s because his independent regiment has a radio station, and now the brigade headquarters is only a hundred miles away from his independent regiment.
He never asked for instructions before, always saying that the brigade headquarters was too far away and there was no radio. By the time he asked for instructions, the opportunity to fight had long passed.
“So he has always used this excuse to act first and report later.
But now Li Yunlong has a radio station which is not far from the brigade headquarters, and Xiao Qin has a motorcycle.
If he still dares to act first and report later, what reason can he use to explain it?
He is not growing up, he just has no reason.
I bet that the reason why Li Yunlong came to the brigade headquarters to report the combat plan and ask for instructions from the brigade headquarters was definitely because he could not find an excuse and had no choice but to do so.
If Li Yunlong could take the initiative to ask the brigade for instructions, it would be like an old sow climbing a tree."
It has to be said that the brigade commander knew Li Yunlong best. The brigade commander had already figured out Li Yunlong's little thoughts and could not hide them at all.
Listening to the brigade commander's words, the political commissar and the chief of staff couldn't help but laugh again.
"Then, Brigade Commander, do you want to hand over the Chief of Staff's battle plan to Li Yunlong and let Li Yunlong and his men implement it according to the Chief of Staff's battle plan, or should we modify their battle plan according to the Chief of Staff's battle plan?"
After the political commissar finished laughing, he got down to business.
Ask the brigade commander whether he should hand over the chief of staff's combat plan to Li Yunlong and others.
Since the chief of staff's battle plan is more complete and more appropriate than that of Li Yunlong and others, the battle plan of Li Yunlong and others naturally needs to be modified.
Therefore, the political commissar planned to either let Li Yunlong and others use the chief of staff's battle plan, or use the chief of staff's battle plan as a comparison and modify it based on their own ideas and actual conditions.
"No, no, because this is not the battle plan that Li Yunlong and his men are going to use at all!"
“They have no intention of fighting according to this battle plan.
In other words, Li Yunlong would never be so honest! "
The brigade commander directly rejected the political commissar's proposal.
He pointed to the battle plan on the table and spoke.
"Li Yunlong's temperament determines that he will definitely not be a steady guy.
Would he be so honest and steady in carrying out this battle plan?
I would rather believe that Kong Jie became Li Yunlong than believe that Li Yunlong would become an honest man like Kong Jie.
I bet Li Yunlong definitely hid their real battle plan!
Maybe this battle plan is used to fool our brigade so that they will agree to their battle plan!"
The brigade commander pointed at the battle plan submitted by Li Yunlong on the table, with a look of certainty on his face.
After listening to the brigade commander's words, the chief of staff was a little hesitant to believe that Li Yunlong would really dare to do this.
This is deceiving your superiors!
To put it more seriously, this is a violation of military regulations, which is no less serious than disobeying orders on the battlefield!
"Brigade Commander, is Li Yunlong really that brave? This is deceiving his superiors, or simply speaking, lying about military intelligence. If Li Yunlong says one thing in front of you and another behind your back, this is a very serious problem."
"Yes, Commander, even if Li Yunlong has a rather erratic personality, he is accompanied by Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Zhong Zhicheng, Zhao Gang and others. If Li Yunlong pretends to obey but actually disobeys, they will definitely stop him.
Besides, Xiao Qin is with us, and he's a very honest kid, so it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
"Xiao Qin? Is he still honest?
The most dishonest of these four people is Qin Yangming. Why do you think he was always beaten when he was a child?"
"Didn't you trick him?"
"Commissar, be serious."
"What I mean is that Li Yunlong's real battle plan is not this battle plan, but there are only some differences between his real battle plan and this battle plan.
It will be risky and dangerous.
And it is a combat plan that the brigade will definitely not agree to.
Therefore, Li Yunlong would definitely mobilize his troops according to the combat plan he submitted at the beginning.
But after a certain point, Li Yunlong was sure that the battlefield situation was changing too quickly and the various troops were unable to act according to the established plan, so he redeployed the troops and implemented the real combat plan!
But I just can’t figure out what Li Yunlong’s real battle plan is?
That’s why I said that the Chief of Staff’s battle plan was of no use to Li Yunlong and others.
Because their real battle plan is not based on stability at all.
Moreover, Ding Wei has a good sense of the overall situation. He can notice things that the chief of staff can notice, Ding Wei can also notice.
Among the four people, Ding Wei has a long-term vision, Kong Jie is steady, Li Yunlong is good at winning by surprise, and Qin Yangming is good at using force to suppress others. His game is to defeat ten skills with force. "
"Then Brigade Commander, what do you think is Li Yunlong and his men's real battle plan?" Listening to what the brigade commander said, the political commissar's curiosity was aroused and he looked directly at the brigade commander.
He also wanted to see what Li Yunlong and others' real battle plan was.
It was so risky that even the brigade commander thought it was a combat plan that the brigade would never agree to.
Moreover, the brigade commander himself believed that he would never agree to this combat plan.
Listening to the political commissar's question, the brigade commander frowned and thought.
He was also unsure what Li Yunlong was trying to do.
"First of all, if this battle plan was made by Kong Jie and Ding Wei, then it is really possible that it was a battle plan that Ding Wei and Kong Jie were going to use.
But if the battle plan was made by these two people, then it should be Kong Jie and Ding Wei who came to deliver the battle plan, not Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming.
However, this battle plan was sent by Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming.
If the four of them were clear about the battle plan, then there would be no need to send two people to deliver the battle plan, and there would be no need for the two main regiment leaders, Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming, to come in person to deliver the battle plan. "
The brigade commander sat on a stool, holding a pen and began to analyze the battle plan in front of him. At the same time, he wondered what Li Yunlong and others were thinking, recalled the personalities of the four people, and wanted to reversely deduce the real battle plan of Li Yunlong and others.
The political commissar and the brigade commander have been partners for many years. When he saw the brigade commander holding a pen and starting to analyze the personalities of Li Yunlong, Qin Yangming and others, he knew what the brigade commander was doing and immediately sat down to analyze it with the brigade commander.
“So the real battle plan of the four of them was most likely discussed by Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming.
And there are huge risks, and both Ding Wei and Kong Jie are very opposed to it.
However, out of trust in Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming, he reluctantly agreed to the battle plan devised by them.
But agreement does not mean approval.
But the real battle plan must be that Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming were hiding something from Ding Wei and Kong Jie, so the two of them disagreed.
As for Li Yunlong's failure to explain the plan clearly, it must be that he and Qin Yangming knew about it. There must be something wrong with that link, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie must not know about it. They are old comrades, so there is no problem of leaking secrets."
“So I find it very strange that Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming chose not to tell Ding Wei and Kong Jie the truth about the battle plan.
The two even made up a fake battle plan to fool our brigade and get them to agree to their attack on Ping'an County."
"Li Yunlong is good at coming up with surprising moves, and he can always come up with some tricks.
Qin Yangming always used his power to suppress others and took the approach of using force to defeat skill.
The battles of the vanguard regiment were always fought with artillery bombardment, followed by infantry charge.
I really can't think of anything special about the battle plan these two came up with.
The key is that this question cannot be asked yet.
The two of them must have prepared a countermeasure."
Even though the brigade commander knew Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming so well, it was still a headache for him to analyze the real combat plan that Qin Yangming and Li Yunlong had come up with.
I have no idea what these two people want to do...
"Commander, Political Commissar, are you overthinking it? Maybe they are planning to use this battle plan?"
When the chief of staff saw that the brigade commander and the political commissar both believed that Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming had some hidden combat plans, he analyzed Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming with a sad face, and could not help but point at the combat plan on the table and spoke.
Although the chief of staff did not know Li Yunlong very well, he thought that the battle plan submitted by Li Yunlong and others was actually quite good and there were no major problems.
Even my own battle plan was only considered from the overall perspective and was slightly adjusted, which is insignificant.
Listening to what the chief of staff said, the brigade commander shook his head.
"I hope I'm overthinking it. Forget it, call Qin Yangming and Li Yunlong over here."
“Since the two of them are planning to launch an attack on Ping’an County.
Although our brigade cannot provide them with any substantial support such as equipment and personnel.
But we can still give them some intelligence support."
The brigade commander decided not to think about the hidden battle plans of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming.
He believed that Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming would never make any low-level mistakes.
What's more, Zhao Gang, Zhong Zhicheng, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Xing Zhiguo are not just here to eat and do nothing.
If Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming were to make any mistakes, Ding Wei and Kong Jie would definitely be able to stop them in time.
Li Yunlong has Ding Wei, Zhao Gang, Zhong Zhicheng and Xing Zhiguo by his side. Even if Li Yunlong has a bad temper, they can be pulled back in time.
Although Qin Yangming is a little naughty, he is not someone who doesn't know the overall situation.
If anything goes wrong, Kong Jie will be there to watch over it and it can be corrected in time.
Besides, even if something happened to the four regiments, the worst that could happen would be that the attack would be blocked and they would be unable to capture the county seat of Ping'an or even the Zhangzhuang stronghold.
But it was good enough to have the river in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
At least, the river was in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and it would be much easier to use the river to help resist the Japanese attacks.
Four regiments are preparing to attack the county seat of Ping'an, and the brigade headquarters must make a statement.
Otherwise, they would have to keep taking weapons and equipment from the four regiments. The brigade commander felt a little embarrassed because he had taken so much.
However, the brigade headquarters had just come over to prepare for the establishment of the Taihang Military Region. It did not have a single extra gun or a single extra man, and the four regiments were not short of weapons and equipment.
Therefore, the brigade was unable to provide substantial support to the four regiments.
The brigade commander planned to provide some intelligence support to the four regiments.
With the intelligence support from the brigade, Li Yunlong and others will be able to feel a lot more relaxed.
"Others go out first."
"Guard, keep the door. No one is allowed to enter the brigade headquarters without my order."
"Yes!"
The brigade commander thought for a long time and finally wanted to know what Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming were trying to do.
I plan to wait and see if I can trick Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming into revealing this matter.
But thinking that neither Li Yunlong nor Qin Yangming told Ding Wei and Kong Jie about this, it means that this matter must not be talked about casually.
In order to keep it secret, the brigade commander directly drove out other people in the brigade.
He left himself and the political commissar alone to wait for Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming to come.
