The vanguard unit of our blue side that suffered losses previously was a 300-man reconnaissance squadron deployed south of Longquan Lake and close to Hongye Embankment. It was mainly responsible for reporting the enemy's situation on the front line.
There are two reconnaissance troops deployed on the front line. They are responsible for the most dangerous and important work, investigating the combat movements of the enemy's main force.
Our scouts totaled just over 900 people, and we lost one-third of them all at once. It can be said that this loss was undoubtedly the loss of one of our eyes.
Another reconnaissance force, also with more than 300 people, was placed at a location called the water platform not far east of Hongyeti.
The two troops of Qishuitai and Hongyeti were originally at horns with each other. They can be said to be the two most vicious eyes on our front line. It's a pity that time can't be turned back and decisions can't be repeated. It's really a waste that I have lost a sharp and poisonous blade that can be inserted into the heart of the enemy at any time!
It's like losing the lead in the opening game of chess. It's really annoying and makes you want to start again!
But according to the mahjong saying, if the opponent sits in the north, he will definitely be unlucky! But my location in the south is not a good one, and it means it will be even more difficult.
But what I fight is the elite, and what I fight is the difficulty! Difficulty means that there is still a chance, and as long as it is not a desperate situation, it will be easy to handle!
Why shouldn't life be like this battlefield? It is about overturning one difficult situation after another.
The fat man blamed himself for his previous rashness, and immediately put forward his ideas and battle plan.
His command was to first test with a small combat force, and finally attack continuously and alternately. This battle plan seems reasonable on the surface, but if it encounters stubborn resistance, it can easily become a fueling tactic. Adding fuel tactics is a taboo for military strategists. Every general does not want to be called a general who adds fuel to the fire. Those who have made these mistakes in history never expected this outcome at the beginning. They acted impulsively because the war was at its peak and the actual offensive progress was not in line with expectations. The fat man's thoughts can easily lead to this kind of situation.
Seeing my rejection, the fat man said anxiously: "Since my proposal is inappropriate, why not hurry up and withdraw the other reconnaissance team from the hydrophilic platform! Their position is too dangerous, there are no reinforcements around them, and they may be attacked at any time. To the double team!”
In fact, before Fatty finished speaking, I had already made a preliminary judgment on his tactical thinking.
At present, Fatty only focused on two points.
First, our important vanguard troops have suffered heavy losses. Hongye Ti, which was originally a powerful force, has lost one of its hydrophilic platforms, and its strategic position no longer exists. If the troops at the hydrophilic platform still insist on staying and holding on, once the enemy troops who occupy Hongyeti stabilize their position, they will immediately turn around and completely outflank the other enemy forces. Not to mention losing the hydrophilic platform by then, It will also lead to the embarrassing situation of only one-third of the reconnaissance force remaining.
Second, our military strength must be smaller than that of the opponent, and we must adopt a steady and steady attack posture to preserve our strength as much as possible.
At first glance, Fatty's strategic idea doesn't make much sense.
But that's what he said about boiling a frog in warm water.
You want to play it safe, but what if the enemy also wants to play it slow? The enemy has an absolute advantage in terms of cannibalization. Surviving for one more minute in the King of Jing chess game is no different than losing the entire game. Therefore, you can lose or die, but you must die standing and take all the risks you can. , all the operations that can be typed are typed.
In the vast history, all the cases of defeating more with less are all due to dangerous moves. Risks are always directly proportional to benefits. If you want to make a big gain with a small amount, you must pay several times the risk of the enemy.
How could the Battle of Julu, a battle that has been passed down through the ages, be fought without the determination to sink the boat?
Although we have not yet reached the point where we need to really make a desperate move, we must maintain this determination and confidence at all times and not slack off for a second!
I immediately dismissed the fat man and said, "No, the three hundred dead soldiers at the Waterfront Platform still need to stay!"
The fat man suspected that his ears had misheard, so he bypassed me and directly raised his hands to Long Wu: "Third brother, is this what our boss said? Did I hear it correctly? Are you still a dead soldier? I think it will change if you wait a moment longer. They are dead bodies! I said, Lao Cao, we cannot avenge ourselves at this time. Although our brothers have all been poisoned by the dragon-horned red-tail moth, they are not what they used to be, but they are still soldiers under our hands! To put it more unpleasantly, they are They’re all dead, and we can’t survive!”
People who have wronged you often know better than you how wronged you are. This sentence is correct wherever it goes. Often the person who hurts you knows better than you which part of you hurts the most.
I told Fatty not to worry. I kept them, and I didn't tell them to die. On the contrary, it was the safest and most valuable thing for them to stay there.
"Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Furnace strategy?"
The fat man thought about it for a moment, then said with an eye to his words: "During the Anti-Japanese War, how did you fight the little Japanese? I heard that this method of fighting scared the little Japanese."
I said: "That's right, we treat the enemy as little devils, and we can still defeat them with this tactics."
The core idea of Tianlu's tactics is to go deep to lure the enemy, go deep, and have a decisive battle! Use flexible pulling to tire out the enemy, and suddenly launch a decisive battle when the enemy least expects or least expects it.
According to the current situation, the prototype of the strategy of using the Heavenly Furnace tactics here has been sketched in my mind, but I don’t know if the lure of a three-hundred-person scout team is big enough!
The enemy's advance regiment of the 1105th Division of Baihuapo occupied the strategic position of our army at Hongyeti. In order to facilitate my formation, during the confrontation between the two armies, I temporarily gave this enemy's frontline regiment a nickname: 1105th Division.
As mentioned before, the red side has more than thirty phalanxes, which is nearly twice the number of our army. But this disparity in strength is entirely due to our own faults. No one had the foresight to know that the flares were burning "our own people."
But I think this disparity in strength is still acceptable. After all, in the long history of history, there is no precedent for single-handedly defeating an enemy that is ten times his size.
The so-called military strategy, as long as you can plan an excellent and unsolvable strategy and seize the fleeting opportunities on the battlefield at any time, no miracle can happen.
Let’s analyze the enemy’s main force.
Their main force is divided into three branches, tentatively called the No. 1 main force, the No. 2 main force, and the No. 3 main force. Each of the main forces has ten to eleven square formations, which are deployed in the Longquan Plum Field north of Longquan Lake, Dieshui Wharf, Yinggang Canal and Hongluo Beach area.
Yingang Canal and Hongluo Beach are the intersection areas of two main forces, namely Main Force No. 2 and Main Force No. 1. They are intertwined, and there is me among you, and you among me.
As one of the main phalanx No. 1, the 1105th Division's advance regiment was placed at the forefront of Hongluo Beach.
The 1105th Division should be a fully reinforced division within the No. 1 Main Division, and the advance regiment it dispatched is definitely an ace regiment. Although our Hong Yeti deployed only scout troops, their combat capabilities as frontline troops are still insufficient. underestimate.
However, this ace group was invincible when charging into the battle, and it was as if they were in a deserted place, easily picking up the red leaves. He got everything he wanted without causing almost any damage.
Moreover, the commander-in-chief of the 1105th Division was not greedy for success. He knew that the positions of the hydrophilic platform and Hongye Ti were equally important, but he chose to rest where he was. This was an extremely smart move.
As the saying goes, a war never tires of deceit!
If you are not afraid of thieves but are afraid of thieves, it is appropriate to use it here.
He is not attacking at the moment. He just puts a sharp knife on my head. It can be stabbed, but it is not necessary. All he wanted to do was tell me that he might stab me with a knife at any time, and if I was smart, I would leave on my own.
When two armies confront each other, it can be said that there are no wise men, but fools are even rarer.
It was obvious that the other party was a teacher with great wisdom.
In his eyes, there is no need to defend the hydrophilic platform. He is waiting for me to withdraw the defenders of the hydrophilic platform to the base camp. Then he will be able to easily capture the last corner of the hydrophilic platform without any bloodshed.
After thinking about it, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but turn up. Fighting with such an enemy is getting more and more interesting!
It seems necessary. Let’s do the surgery on the 1105th Division first!
At this time, the fat man stretched out his hand and waved it in front of me: "Old Cao, why are you laughing?"
"No, it's so urgent. How can you still laugh? Have you figured out the furnace tactics? Oh, my commander-in-chief!"
I said to the fat man: "You are burning your eyebrows? I think it is your butt that is burning! How can you jump up and down like this? Not to mention disturbing my ideas! Do you think the third brother Long Wu said a word from the beginning to the end?"
Long Wu had indeed been quiet for a long time, and his hand on my clothes had long been released. He had been listening to me talking to the fat man without saying a word.
The fat man said to Long Wu, "Third brother, did you hit the target? Let me tell you something!"
Long Wu said calmly: "Anything is fine."
The fat man looked anxiously: "No, what did I say? You can do it? You can call it anything? You can do it, or you can't do it at all? Please speak more clearly."
Long Wu pointed at me and said, "As long as it's what he said, there's no need to ask me again! I'll win!"
I think Long Wu's talkative person may have wanted to call him Boss Cao, but he didn't.
I said to the fat man: "Your method of fanning comrades makes me think that you are trying to usurp the throne. Did you go to the Han Dynasty Tomb in the Outer Jin Dynasty and learn nothing else? Do you want to imitate that Sima Laoer? I also Tell you, I really don’t need it, Commander-in-Chief, I can give it to you right now.”
The fat man was frightened: "No, no, no, I'm not living for a while, I'm going to die for a while, so I don't know whether I should be afraid of death or not. I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't say anything next, you come Commander, I will be responsible for watching and cheering for the blue side." Finally, he muttered in a low voice: Actually, I just don't want to be skinned alive!
What the fat man said just now definitely came from his heart. When I was thinking about the situation of the battle, I had not thought about death. Now I calmed down and thought that the result of losing would be to be chopped alive, and I couldn't help but shudder. I just feel cold all over my body.
At the moment, I chose to do the opposite. The cleverness of the advance group of the 1105th Division bought me precious time.
At this moment, I dispatched the 013 division on the blue side closest to the hydrophilic platform, and sent an entire brigade from it to rescue the hydrophilic platform. Since the opponent's main force is larger, I divided the opponent's No. 1 main force into 1105 divisions and arranged them like this. The first 1 represents the No. 1 main force, and 105 represents the number of a certain division of the No. 1 main force.
And I chose to name my troops directly with numbers starting with 0. That is, after I reorganized, the entire army was divided into at most 99 divisions.
Of course, the reason why it is named this way is entirely due to the disparity in military strength between the two sides.
Division 099 represents the last unit and is also the reserve unit. Once reserve team No. 099 goes to the battlefield, it is the last thing I want to see. This shows that the battle situation has reached a critical moment. If we want to send reinforcements, the only ones we can send out are me and Fatty Long Wu!
