Hu Yi just came back from outside the village, carrying two rifles on his back, and the little girl followed him with a shoulder bag.
He had just gone to the division for a meeting, and stopped by Gao Yida's Second Company for a walk.
"Political commissar? Are you there?" Hu Yi was a little surprised and quickly stood at attention and saluted!
The political commissar raised his hand and returned the salute: "Why, aren't you welcome?"
Look at the dumbfounded Luo Fugui next to him! Who is the political commissar? Can you not know? The division itself is one level higher than the independent regiment. According to Boss Hu, the group in front of him is the division political commissar. The commander is in charge of fighting and the political commissar is in charge of life. He really has the responsibility to eat chicken!
Thinking of this, while Boss Hu was greeting the political commissar, he wiped his feet and slipped into the kitchen next to Wang Xiaosan.
Fortunately, the security forces were about to attack, and there was no fire in the house, so it would not be smoked.
"Welcome, welcome!" Hu Yi quickly replied, and then called Ma Liang: "Hurry up and pour the water!"
"Ninth Company, not bad! After the meeting to deal with some matters, I will come to see our friendly forces and see if you have any difficulties in life!" the political commissar said with a smile.
"Commissar Labor is concerned!" Hu Yi forced a smile, which was uglier than crying.
"Captain Hu, the division has arranged for all units to enter ambush positions. Now...does your Ninth Company have other arrangements?" The political commissar knew that fighting in Ninth Company was different from other units.
Therefore, he did not comment on the arrangements for the people of Jiulian Company who were currently staying in the village. He was even thinking, did Jiulian Company have any clever tricks?
Hu Yi quickly answered truthfully: "That's not true. It's just that I think the mission of the Ninth Company and the Second Company this time is to attack the flanks. After the meeting just now, I took a look at the battlefield fortifications of the Ninth Company and the Second Company."
"You didn't speak at the meeting just now. Do you have any ideas?" The plan was decided at the meeting, and the political commissar just asked casually.
Hu Yi thought for a while: "On the surface, the enemy appears to be menacing, but the march of the security army is unorganized. A small group of security forces is indeed difficult to deal with, but a large security army? That's it. The distance is so close. Their vanguard is actually getting involved with the brigade."
"You mean this battle is not difficult to fight?" The political commissar was shocked. After fighting with the Japanese security forces for so many years, not to mention that the Japanese even fought head-on with the security forces. The Eighth Route Army, which was short of guns and ammunition, was no match for them. Victories are mostly achieved through ambushes and sneak attacks.
"At least, the people in the subdivision pretending to be scouts of the security forces must not have been discovered. So I think that if we have calculated the ambush without intending to, I estimate that if we charge after the battle starts, these security forces will probably escape!" Hu Yi knew very well. When I was still in the national army, when I encountered an ambush and the enemy's situation was unclear, retreating was the first choice. These security forces were even worse. Could they lure the enemy deeper? The enemy now is not the Japanese.
"Uh, you mean to say that we shouldn't use the strategy of luring the enemy in when attacking the security forces?" The voice of the division commander suddenly came from behind Hu Yi.
"Hello, Commander!" Hu Yi quickly turned around, stood at attention, and saluted. Unexpectedly, the division commander also came to the ninth company station.
The person next to the commander... I met him at the next meeting, isn't he the brigade commander of the fifth division: "Hello, brigade commander!"
"Keep talking." The commander replied as he spoke.
"According to the current advancing speed of the security forces, they will come into contact with our ambush around dark time. As long as we fire, most of the security forces will retreat. Therefore, luring the enemy deep... is basically impossible. Instead, we will alert the enemy! But if we are the first The wave attack firepower is sufficient, and the security forces have no chance to build a position. In the afternoon meeting, it was said that our troops plus the militia have invested more than 5,000 people this time, so I think it is better to defeat the security forces in one fell swoop!"
There was sudden silence.
A long while.
The commander and the brigade commander looked at each other and pretended to be unhappy: "Then why didn't you tell me during the meeting just now?"
Hu Yi scratched his head and did not answer.
On the other hand, the political commissar next to him said with a smile: "You have gathered a lot of brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and battalion commanders for a meeting. How can a company commander have a chance to speak?"
"It seems that our democracy is not complete. Then... tell me what your plans are!" The commander smiled awkwardly.
Hu Yi was not polite and said in a calm tone: "According to the arrangements for the afternoon meeting, the Independent Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment are responsible for the left wing. With the firepower of the Second Company and the Ninth Company, they can completely catch the security forces by surprise. Then the Second Company will launch a charge, and the Ninth Company will continue. With suppressive firepower, and at the same time equipped with divisional cavalry to outflank us, as long as the security forces in front of us do not exceed a thousand people, and it is getting dark at this time, in my opinion, we can completely defeat the invading enemy in one fell swoop."
"What do you mean, our method of showing weakness to the enemy and luring them into the village was inappropriate? Do you really think that public security is so vulnerable?" The commander took a breath. What kind of poor independent regiment is this?
"If we are still carrying shotguns, knives and shuttle targets, we can use the method of luring the enemy deep. The problem is that we are not short of ammunition now. I think the idea should be changed." Hu Yi has fought more big battles. Although he previously participated as a machine gun company commander, it did not affect his judgment on the battlefield.
What's more, those security forces that rely on nursing homes, broken troops, and local security groups have no combat effectiveness at all. Compared with the Japanese, one is in the world and the other is underground.
If it were a Japs coming, he would probably run faster than anyone else!
"But if you do this, it will disrupt the plan we made in the afternoon meeting..." The man next to the commander frowned.
"If it had gone as planned, the Chongqing one wouldn't have lost so ugly." Hu Yi replied unceremoniously.
"Boy, you are so crazy." The fifth division brigade commander couldn't help but look sideways.
"No, it's just a matter of fact." Hu Yi replied calmly.
"Hey, luckily you are not one of my soldiers. I heard... that you are imprisoned once every time you fight. Is it true?" the brigade commander asked with a smile.
Hu Yi was dumbfounded. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Is that what they say?
"Boy, you have a way! It seems that my commander, who has been fighting guerrilla warfare for a long time, is getting less and less courageous." The commander smiled wryly at himself, but his face was excited. This Hu Yi is really a talent, but he still has to command his company. , it’s not a good idea to let him go to the headquarters as a staff officer. After thinking about it, he turned to the guard company commander behind him: “Go and tell the staff officer now and ask him to move the headquarters here!”
"Commander...isn't this inappropriate? All ministries must report the situation to the headquarters at any time. It would be a bad thing if the headquarters cannot be found when the war begins." The political commissar next to him frowned and suggested.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and inform the headquarters to move to the west of the village." The commander waved to the correspondent.
The brigade commander felt a little conflicted. Hu Yi was obviously trying to make a small move, but the battlefield was changing rapidly. There were many idiots on the battlefield of the Eighth Route Army who did not obey orders.
For this reason, the brigade commander could not object. What should I say? Many of the orders passed by the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield were to be observed for a certain time, and then the subordinates would salute to ensure that the task was completed...
The communication of battlefield orders depends on the communication staff. Hu Yi only cares about his own understanding of the battlefield. When the battle starts, his side will definitely press hard. You want me, the dignified brigade commander, to accompany you with three guns and eight troops? There are no doors! "You have no problem attacking, but we are under great pressure!"
"We can also lend you our armored vehicles!" Hu Yi did not hesitate. The road is in front and cannot be used here.
"Lao Zhu, what's wrong with you?" The commander noticed that the brigade commander was in a daze.
"Uh...oh, it's okay. I didn't expect you to invite an expert! In this case, the plan has to be changed this time... But the war is about to break out. If we adjust the troop deployment, is it too risky?"
"The biggest risk is that we can't defeat the security forces! We have to fight anyway. After successfully luring the enemy deep, why don't we attack? If we can really succeed, then we will take the initiative and chase the remaining enemies. What will be the result? Think about it. I’m so excited. What will I do with so many prisoners when the time comes?” After the commander finished speaking, he turned to look at the political commissar: “Then you will be busy for a while!”
