Chapter 295: When a large corps fights, military discipline must be strict!
"This is the method I can think of to attack the Zhangzhuang stronghold with the least casualties."
"But it is also the most time-consuming method. If Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming's target is only the Zhangzhuang stronghold, then this method is a very good method. However, their target is not only a small Zhangzhuang stronghold, but also the county seat of Ping'an County."
After Brigade Commander Chen finished explaining his plan, he looked at the boss helplessly.
If the only goal is to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold, then Brigade Commander Chen's method is indeed a good one.
With the strength of four regiments, we can capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold. Even if the Japanese stronghold is strong, the four regiments can flatten it.
If they only captured the Zhangzhuang stronghold, the difficulty of blocking the enemy by various troops would be greatly reduced.
There are four regiments, one regiment attacks, one regiment blocks the enemy reinforcements, and the other two regiments serve as reserve forces, or take turns to fight.
Under such circumstances, the losses of the four regiments, whether it is personnel losses or material consumption, will be minimized.
Besides, the only goal was to capture the Zhangzhuang stronghold and launch an attack on it.
It was impossible for the Japanese to start a war and mobilize a large number of troops to provide support just for the Zhangzhuang stronghold.
Even if the Japanese really launched a large-scale war, they would mobilize a large number of troops to support the Zhangzhuang stronghold.
Then the four regiments gathered together, and since they were near Fu'an County, there was no need to worry about being attacked from both sides by the Japanese.
The situation was hopeless. The four regiments could easily withdraw their troops back to Fu'an and slowly fight the Japanese.
But the problem now is that Li Yunlong, Qin Yangming and others are targeting not only the Zhangzhuang stronghold, but also Ping'an County.
In this case, this simple but time-consuming attack method will not work.
"The attack method you mentioned is indeed feasible to attack Zhangzhuang stronghold if we don't care about Ping'an County, but if we also want to attack Ping'an County, then this method is not so useful.
It took too long... and with only one independent regiment's strength to attack, it was not enough.
This is so strange, how can Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold in such a short time?"
After listening to the method proposed by Brigade Commander Chen, the boss nodded in agreement.
Then he thought about the initial conversation between him and Brigade Commander Chen, and looked at the map with some confusion.
To be honest, the boss really didn't expect or could not imagine how Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming planned to take over the Zhangzhuang stronghold.
"Old Chen, think about it again and make things more orderly..."
"Hmm... Thinking about it again, I feel like I have thought of something."
Brigade Commander Chen looked at the map in front of him and seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"First of all, the decision to attack Ping'an County was not made by the four regiment leaders, but by Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming alone."
Brigade Commander Chen told the matter one by one, preparing to go through it from beginning to end to see if he could find any problems.
Although Brigade Commander Chen has already reviewed it several times with the brigade's combat staff.
However, Brigade Commander Chen still planned to sort it out again and let the boss listen to it to see if the boss could find out anything, and then he would reversely deduce things that he had not expected based on what the boss found.
The boss listened to what Brigade Commander Chen said, recalled the report that Brigade Commander Chen gave him at the beginning, then compared the personalities of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming and nodded.
"Well... according to the battle plan you handed over... such a conservative battle plan, whether it is Li Yunlong or Qin Yangming, they will definitely not do it.
Both of them have a temperament that can be said to be filled with an adventurous spirit, a spirit of making the most of a small investment.
Therefore, the battle plan was definitely not drawn up by the two of them and then submitted.
If the battle plan was made by Kong Jie and Ding Wei, it would be understandable, but if it was made by Kong Jie and Ding Wei alone.
Even if both Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming agreed, the battle plan should have been submitted by Kong Jie and Ding Wei. The battle plan they formulated should definitely be submitted by the people who know it best.
Even Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming are worried that you, Brigade Commander Chen, might not agree, so they plan to come here in person to hand in the battle plan, and then try every means to persuade you to agree.
Either the four of them come together, or one of Ding Wei and Kong Jie comes, and one of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming comes.
It is absolutely impossible that Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming came here together.
The two of them came here together, which means that the battle plan was made by the two of them, and it was not even confirmed by Kong Jie and Ding Wei.
This battle plan was made up to fool you, Brigade Commander Chen.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie are not familiar with the battle plan. If they come over, it would be easy for them to say something wrong, or for you, the brigade commander, to see through something.
So just in case, Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming came here together without notifying Kong Jie and Ding Wei. "
The boss made an analysis based on the various reports submitted by Brigade Commander Chen, analyzing what the battle plan submitted by Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming was all about.
And Brigade Commander Chen heard the boss say that the battle plan submitted by Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming was actually a trick to fool him, although Brigade Commander Chen also knew that the battle plan was just a trick by Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming to fool him.
Even Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming could guess that they knew that the battle plan was meant to fool Brigade Commander Chen.
Everyone knew about this kind of thing, but they could never point it out directly. Brigade Commander Chen could never admit that this battle plan was just to fool him.
Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming absolutely could not admit that this battle plan was used to fool Brigade Commander Chen.
If the people below hadn't reported a false battle plan to their superiors... this is a big taboo in the military!
To put it nicely, this is called concealing the truth. The plan must be kept secret and not known to others.
To put it bluntly, this is deceiving your superiors!
Then in the organization and the army, deceiving superiors is absolutely not allowed!
Especially in the military, lower-level officers provide false information to their superiors and then mobilize troops... This is no different from mobilizing troops without authorization, and it may even be more serious than mobilizing troops without authorization!
However, due to the special identities of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming, Brigade Commander Chen is willing to cooperate with them.
But this matter cannot be stated directly, otherwise other troops will follow suit, how can Brigade Commander Chen manage the troops? Punishment? Then Brigade Commander Chen must punish Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming first.
There is no punishment, but not everyone has the ability of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming.
So, Brigade Commander Chen and the Political Commissar both knew what the battle plan of Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming was all about, and even the brigade chief of staff knew it.
But no one has spoken out about this matter openly.
Only those few people know what really happened, and they are the only ones who can talk about it in private.
As for other people, if anyone dares to speak nonsense, it will be a rumor.
At this moment, the boss told the truth directly. Brigade Commander Chen looked around with some guilt, then looked at the boss and had to admit it.
"Boss, this battle plan... um, its biggest use should be for Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming to fool the brigade headquarters... I guess it's because the brigade headquarters is nearby.
Then they had a radio, but they couldn't use the previous method to contact the brigade headquarters. The brigade headquarters was too far away and there was no way to notify them in time, so they had no choice but to seize the opportunity and fight first to mobilize the troops for military operations.
So the two of them prepared a battle plan and submitted it, the main purpose of which was to obtain the authority to mobilize troops from the brigade headquarters.
It can also be said that this battle plan was used by Qin Yangming and Li Yunlong to fool the brigade headquarters."
The boss listened to what Brigade Commander Chen said, stretched out his finger and nodded, Brigade Commander Chen said.
"I don't care whether it's true or not, anyway, this won't happen again!
When a large army is fighting, military discipline must be strict!
If everyone follows the way Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming command their troops, then our entire Eighth Route Army will be in chaos!"
The boss was well aware of Brigade Commander Chen's thoughts, but he still seriously warned him not to give Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming any more back doors.
"Yes! Boss, don't worry. After this time, I will never give Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming a backdoor again. It will never happen again!"
Seeing the boss's serious face and setting the tone, Brigade Commander Chen quickly stood up and made his assurance to the boss.
Of course, it is hard to say what Brigade Commander Chen is thinking.
It's really because Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming are so capable of causing trouble that they can give you some surprises from time to time.
Even though it's scary sometimes.
But most of the time they are surprises, and those surprises are so pleasing... Brigade Commander Chen has no choice, he can't just leave these two guys who can always come up with surprises unused, right?
The boss saw through Brigade Commander Chen's thoughts at a glance and spoke immediately.
"Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Li Yunlong is a headache, but you are even more of a headache than Li Yunlong.
How could I not know what you are thinking? I am warning you, if you dare to pretend to obey but secretly disobey, be careful of me... Humph, if you dare to pretend to obey but secretly disobey, and don't restrict Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming, those two people.
It just so happens that the Yizhong Military Region has asked me for Qin Yangming. When the troops are reorganized, the Vanguard Regiment is not far from the Yizhong Military Region, so let Xiao Qin lead the Vanguard Regiment to the Yizhong Military Region."
The boss originally wanted to warn Brigade Commander Chen that if he dared to indulge Qin Yangming and Li Yunlong again, he would punish him.
But just as the boss was about to mention punishment, he remembered that Brigade Commander Chen in front of him was not afraid of punishment... and he had no reason to punish Brigade Commander Chen.
After all, things like indulgence are just something that everyone talks about verbally, and you and I know it, but there is no substantial evidence for this matter.
For example, in this case, as long as Li Yunlong and others did act according to the submitted combat plan in the early stage, even if changes occurred in the later stage.
The situation on the battlefield can also be described as changing rapidly, and it is impossible for everything to go according to plan.
Do you fight according to your plan, and does your enemy also fight according to your plan?
If this is the case, then what is the purpose of having a commander? Why do we need officers such as staff officers to assist in command?
Therefore, whether from a procedural or theoretical point of view, there is nothing wrong with Brigade Commander Chen. Even if the boss wants to use this matter to punish Brigade Commander Chen, there is no way to use it to punish him.
The boss reacted halfway through his speech and quickly changed his words.
Okay, if you don't have any restrictions and you like to pamper them, then I will find someone who doesn't pamper them.
So he directly grasped the weak spot of Brigade Commander Chen. If Brigade Commander Chen didn't care, then he would find someone who could control Qin Yangming.
Qin Yangming is different from Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong is so old and his thoughts are relatively mature.
Li Yunlong made mistakes, but they were only about things related to combat, and his mistakes were not incomprehensible.
At other times, Li Yunlong has his own standards in his heart and will not do anything that touches the bottom line.
But Qin Yangming is different. Qin Yangming is still young.
The boss was really worried that if Brigade Commander Chen continued to spoil Qin Yangming like this, he would really spoil him.
Especially after the boss carefully understood some of the situations about the vanguard regiment reported by Brigade Commander Chen, he couldn't stand Brigade Commander Chen's pampering of Qin Yangming anymore.
Such a large vanguard group turned out to be a one-man show of Qin Yangming!
Only Qin Yangming can command the entire vanguard group.
This is not a good thing.
Although there has been no mistakes since Qin Yangming came to the combat unit.
But who can guarantee that Qin Yangming will not make mistakes in the future?
If Qin Yangming made a mistake, no one in the entire vanguard group would be able to stop him.
Then the problem will be big.
If a small mistake is made, no one in the vanguard group will say anything about Qin Yangming. At most, Brigade Commander Chen will just mention Qin Yangming.
But if Qin Yangming kept making small mistakes and found that they were no big deal, then one day he suddenly made a big mistake.
Brigade Commander Chen was able to conceal minor mistakes and handle them himself.
What about a big mistake? If Qin Yangming made a big mistake, could Brigade Commander Chen still keep it a secret?
What to do then?
