This is the reason why Xiao Letian has kept silent. This is also the reason why he refused Xiang Shaolong's invitation before the war started yesterday and stayed on the Zhiyuan instead of going ashore.
There is no such thing as a born famous general, let alone a born strategist. Talents are tempered by failure, not by words and deeds in the classroom.
There are two types of commanders in the world. One is those who are qualified to command the army through family education and military academy education.
The other type of commander relies purely on himself, learning and fighting at the same time, personally fighting on the battlefield, and fighting out of the bloody storm, such as Xiao Letian.
No war will be as accurate as textbooks. Just like the previous war to siege Vladivostok, Xiang Shaolong and his staff spent a winter arranging troops and allocating supplies. It can be said clearly that then The variables of 80% in every field battle are all under control.
Whatever happens on the battlefield, he can find a plan to prepare in advance, as well as the supplies and reserves to deal with it. This kind of battle that has been calculated in advance is a classic textbook battle. It has broken away from the scope of military command art and has become a science.
But war can never dance according to your baton. No one is a director who can let all the actors pose. The battlefield situation changes rapidly. All the plans of the commander have been exhausted, all the reserve teams have been mobilized, and all the supplies have been consumed. However, the enemy has undergone tremendous changes. At this time, the commander's ability will be tested.
It not only tests the highest commander-in-chief, but also tests every commander and every soldier in the entire army. From division commanders, regiment commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders... all the way to the top soldiers, in the chaos and the enemy's massacre, who can stay calm and find the right response?
Maybe you say that this requirement is too difficult. Who can ordinary people do it? But war is a game of forcing people to death. He will not pity any incompetent people. If you can't do it, then just die?
How did the name of the world come about? Each and every one of them survived the most difficult battle situation, and at the most critical moment, he suddenly had an idea and broke through the past. Now Xiang Shaolong has been forced to that critical point.
Even many officers on the battlefield were pushed to that critical point, but at this moment Zai Chun jumped out to cause trouble, directly disrupting Xiang Shaolong's contemplation.
Xiao Letian is so angry! It was as if he saw a pot of water that was about to boil, and suddenly Zai Chun, a naughty boy, opened the lid of the pot and peed in it!
"Come here! Take him aboard the Zhiyuan! Don't make trouble for me here..." Xiao Lezhen was not in the mood to explain anything to him. He didn't even bother to look at the aggrieved Emperor Tongzhi who was about to cry. He waved his hand to Zai Chun's immediate subordinate The guards rushed up and asked the emperor to return to the battleship with a look of embarrassment.
"Just leave!" Zai Chun burst into tears of grievance. He threw away everyone and walked out of the headquarters.
Xiao Letian took two deep breaths to suppress the annoyance in his heart, turned to Xiang Shaolong and said, "Don't look at me, continue to command your army! After this battle, no matter you win or lose, I will go to Europe. That is unchangeable." Plan, don’t expect me to tell you the whole story, there’s no way I can wipe your ass…”
"Today I will help you solve this dilemma. Who will solve it for you in the future when I am gone? The Far East country cannot tie me here forever, and the Chinese cannot only have such a satellite country in the future! I don't ask you to expand your territory. , you must be able to protect yourself after all!"
Xiao Letian turned around and looked at the battlefield with his binoculars. On the surface, he looked calm as a mountain, but actually he was burning with anxiety.
"Lord Long! Don't you understand yet? What are the enemy's advantages and disadvantages? Can't you understand?"
"The enemies are all cavalry, and they are Don horses with very strong sprinting power. How fast can you fight them? They are a group of naked beasts wrestling in the snow at minus 20 degrees in winter. How can you fight them? "
"Don't be deceived by appearances. The madness that the enemy is unleashing now is just the end of a powerful crossbow! They just want to shock your hearts and make you emotionally confused with crazy and even fatal killings..."
"That's it! That's it! After more than two months of forced marching, eating on horseback and sleeping on horseback, do you think they are not tired? They are draining the last bit of energy and delaying the arrival of the large army. !”
"The eight hundred cavalrymen have been cruising rapidly in the northeast, not sparing any horsepower. They just want to drag more troops to the eastern front and make the defense on the western front weaker. The enemy's strengths are speed and brutality, and our strengths are where?"
"Please, please! Don't you understand? Our strength lies in the strength of numbers! It lies in sufficient equipment! How can you use our weakness to defeat the enemy's strength? Why don't you use your own strength!"
Xiang Shaolong frowned and his forehead started to smoke in a hurry, while Xiao Letian was even more anxious and his hand holding the telescope began to tremble, "Come on! You can break through! Don't let me down..."
"Actually, those young men of the Volunteer Army did nothing wrong. The field hospital and logistics warehouse are related to the morale of the army. Although two battalions went to rescue without your order, it cannot be considered a mistake... Their mistake was confusion!"
"Why did the two infantry battalions choose to march? If they stretched the queue into a long snake formation, wouldn't they wait for the enemy cavalry to cut them off?"
"Ye Qiu's cavalry battalion is also stupid. You know that the Mongolian horses are not as fast as the Don horses. Why are you chasing after them? Can't you change your strategy and press the enemy closer? You have nearly a hundred in your hands. A sniper rifle! That’s a magical weapon that even the European armies are not equipped with, why don’t you use it!”
Xiao Letian was so anxious that he wanted to vomit blood, but he still said that he could not fight. Military training was like refining an elixir and hatching an egg. What mattered was the heat and the caution. A dutiful son might be produced under the stick, but a genius would never be produced.
Xiao Letian can't just hit his officers with a stick and then curse, "Why don't you become a Napoleon? Why don't you become a famous general in the world?"
Go back and beat up the students at the University of the Ryukyus one by one. After beating them, they will say, "Why don't you become Einstein? Why don't you invent an internal combustion engine for me?"
It is so painful to break out of a cocoon and become a butterfly. No one can replace it.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong was not feeling well. He vaguely seemed to see a little light in his heart. The situation between the enemy and ourselves on the map, the rapid changes on the battlefield, and the entire three-dimensional map appeared in his mind... There seemed to be a voice in his heart reminding him. There is no problem that cannot be solved for him, and there is absolutely no place where he must die.
Suddenly a faint voice came to his ears, "Master Long, I remember that you are a disciple of Wudang Neijia Boxing. Why don't you treat the enemy's army as one person? Treat the entire volunteer army as one person..."
Master Long's eyes suddenly opened, and Xiao Letian's eyes were as dark and dazzling as the stars, looking at him as if they had the magic power to enchant the soul.
