The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The brigade commander Zhou Zhidao didn't waste any extra nonsense, and he was still accustomed to the vigorous and resolute style of a soldier.

"Everyone, the regiments fought well in the past few days. We and the 71st Army defeated the 28th Brigade of the Japanese Army and retreated all the way. Although they were not wiped out, they were also severely injured. I will remember your achievements here. , After this battle is over, we will reward you for your merits! But now we need you to make persistent efforts, and we will eat up this piece of fat in one go!"

The brigade commander Zhou Zhidao walked up to the hanging map, pointed at the map with his baton and said: "Now the 14th Division of the Japanese Army has become a turtle in an urn. General Gui's 27th Army has blocked Lanfeng City in the west. General Huang Jie Our 8th Army, General Li's 64th Army, and the Longhai Line blocked our north by the Second Army, so our 74th Army and 71st Army have to work hard to break through Neihuang and further reduce the living space of the Japanese army. , laying the foundation for the final victory!"

As soon as the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao finished his words, there was a buzz of excitement in the tent. Now the 14th Division of the Japanese Army was surrounded like an iron barrel by them. This victory is just around the corner.

Now there are twelve reorganized divisions surrounding the Japanese army. They are all the elite of the Central Army. Victory without suspense.

"Everyone, I want to remind you that there is not much time left for us. The 16th and 10th Divisions of the Japanese Army have already gone south to rescue in the starry night, while the 9th, 13th, and 101st Divisions of the Japanese Army are on the way. Sweeping from the south, if we can't make a quick decision, we will fall into the anti-encirclement of the Japanese army, and then we will fall into a hard fight. The previous efforts will be in vain, so this attack only needs to be successful. Don't fail!"

"Are you confident?!" Brigadier Zhou Zhidao raised his voice.

"We must win!" The officers replied in a loud voice, which made people's eardrums hurt.

The brigade commander Zhou Zhidao saw the officers with high morale, nodded in satisfaction, waved to the staff officer and said, "I will ask the chief of staff to read out the combat order."

The chief of staff opened the folder, cleared his throat with a cough, and read out: "This time, our 151st Brigade will join forces with the 71st Army to capture Inner Huangcheng. ..."

The chief of staff quickly finished announcing the specific combat missions of each regiment, and the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao said: "Are there any objections? If there is no objection, it will be implemented as it is."

"Report, I have something to say." Yang Ling stood up.

"speak--"

Text Chapter 379

"Traveler, I just went to the front to observe the enemy's situation. I found that the Japanese army's positions are complete, there are many bunkers, and the weapons are also in order. If we attack blindly from all sides, even if we attack, it will inevitably cause great casualties."

Yang Ling stood up and spoke out his thoughts in detail, but before he finished speaking, the chief of staff who was in charge of formulating the battle plan turned gloomy.

The chief of staff didn't wait for the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao to speak, and he said in a strange manner: "Deputy commander Yang, there is no one who survives a war. If you are afraid of death, you can stay in the command post behind."

This battle plan was formulated by the staff of their brigade headquarters. Now that Yang Ling raised an objection in public, that is, he denied their staff work, the chief of staff would naturally not give Yang Ling a good look.

Faced with this groundless accusation, Yang Ling didn't flinch. He replied, "If I was afraid of death, I wouldn't join the army. The reason why I object to the battle plan is just telling the truth."

"I also understand what you mean. Do you think our staff members are not as good as you?" The chief of staff said with a dark face.

"I didn't mean to offend..."

Just as Yang Ling was about to continue talking, Zhang Handuo, the team leader sitting next to him, stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve secretly, wanting him to sit down and stop arguing. After all, it would not do them any good to continue arguing like this.

"Everyone can raise their opinions, but it's okay to say it," brigade commander Zhou Zhidao also came out in time to make a rescue. He looked at Yang Ling with a smile and said, "Deputy Commander Yang, tell me what good ideas you have."

When the chief of staff saw the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao open his mouth, he felt angry and couldn't get angry. He forced a smile and said, "Deputy commander Yang, let's talk about your high opinion."

Yang Ling could naturally hear the insinuation in the chief of staff's words, but he didn't care. He just didn't want his brother to go up to his death in vain. It's true that wars require casualties, but it doesn't mean fighting hard all the time. dash.

He cleared his throat and said, "My suggestion is..."

Yang Ling's words fell, and there was a buzzing in the tent. His suggestion was very simple, that is, instead of an all-out attack, focus on a breakthrough. First, a part of the troops would feign an attack to contain the Japanese army, and then the main force would launch a real onslaught from another line of defense. To achieve the purpose of striking east and west.

Such an offensive method can not only avoid turning the all-out battle into a war of attrition with a sharp increase in casualties, but also can concentrate forces and attack the Inner Yellow City unexpectedly in one fell swoop, achieving the goal of winning the battle in a short time.

Brigadier Zhou Zhidao fell into deep thought after listening to Yang Ling's words. Yang Ling's battle plan was only a small change from the original plan, but the effect was obvious. Concentrate superior forces to break through a little, and then The two wings swept across, able to quickly tear through the Japanese defense line.

"Do you have any comments on Deputy Commander Yang's suggestion?" Brigadier Zhou Zhidao looked around at the sitting officers and asked.

Zhang Lingfu, deputy brigade commander of the 153rd brigade and head of the 305th regiment, stood up and said: "I support the suggestion of deputy regimental commander Yang. The troops of each regiment changed from attacking at the same time to the main attack and the feint attack. The tactic of attacking the east and the west is to restrain the Japanese army and attract attention. , the main direction of attack is to give a thunderous blow, to attack Neihuang in a short time, and resolve the battle."

As soon as Zhang Lingfu's words fell, Qiu Weida, the head of the regiment, also said: "The feint attacking troops must have the posture of the main attack, so as to attract the attention of the Japanese army. Our regiment is willing to serve as a feint attack.

"If the main attack direction wants to tear apart the Japanese defense line, I think that before the large forces attack, you can send an elite small force to lurk in the front of the Japanese army to hide. When the attack starts, they can quickly break in and open the way for the follow-up troops to attack. .” Ji Hongru, head of the regiment, also spoke.

Dear regiment leaders, you and I quickly perfected the new combat plan. Compared with the original plan of the brigade staff to disperse the attack of each regiment, the new combat plan is more in line with the appetite of the regiment leaders. However, although the chief of staff was dissatisfied, he was unwilling to offend the regimental leaders.

"Is there anything you need to add to your staff office?" Brigadier Zhou Zhidao was also very satisfied with the new plan, but he turned his head and asked because of the chief of staff's face.

"All the heads of the regiment have said very well, and our staff office has nothing to add." Now the chief of staff is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't tell what he is suffering.

Yang Ling originally just wanted to make a suggestion of his own. Who knows that the entire battle plan has been revised, and he feels helpless. However, this kind of battle can avoid delaying the battle indefinitely and reduce casualties to a certain extent. This is what he likes to see of.

The brigade commander Zhou Zhidao quickly agreed to the new battle plan, and the attack positions of the regiments were readjusted. This time they will mainly attack the south gate and pretend to attack the east gate.

As the order was issued, the commanders of each regiment filed out of the tents and quickly returned to their respective units to prepare for the attack. After all, there was not much time left for them to prepare.

"Traveler, this Deputy Commander Yang is a bit too nonsense. The battle plan formulated by more than a dozen of our staff members who stayed up all night was overturned by him in such a few words. It will not be easy to carry out this work in the future."

After Yang Ling and the others left, the suffocating chief of staff complained to the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao. After all, this time their staff office was very embarrassing.

"Your staff office has no credit or hard work. I know all of this, but your responsibility is heavy, and your plan is related to the lives of thousands of brothers. If you really follow your style of play, when will you be able to take down Nei Huang? City, brothers, how many more casualties will be added? So don’t always blame others, you should sum up and reflect on yourself, and you can’t take your brothers’ lives for nothing.”

The brigade commander Zhou Zhidao taught the newly transferred chief of staff earnestly. Most of these officers who have been working as staff officers after graduating from the military academy have no actual combat experience, and the combat plans they formulate are somewhat taken for granted. This is sometimes true in actual combat. is fatal.

"Yes, I will definitely remember the teachings of the traveler! Seriously summarize and reflect." The chief of staff also realized the mistake and hurriedly said.

Zhou Zhidao waved his hand and said, "Okay, you are quite tired too, go down and have a good rest."

"Yes!" The chief of staff stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and strode away.

Yang Ling and the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, also returned to the regiment. Yang Ling raised objections in public, embarrassing the chief of staff, and the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, also kindly reminded, "Brother Yang, don't be so reckless next time. If you have any opinions, let's come down and raise them. You have offended the Chief of Staff in this way, and it will do you and our regiment no good."

"Well, I see." Yang Ling agreed.

Seeing Yang Ling's agreement, the team leader Zhang Handuo patted Yang Ling's shoulder with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's study the tactics."

Body 3 Chapter Eighty Artillery Attack

Thick black smoke engulfed a large amount of smoke and dust and overturned the entire battlefield. The sun was blocked by the thick smoke and dust outside. Staying in the trenches, the air was dull and oppressive.

Boxes of bullets and grenades were transported to the forefront, and the brothers with live ammunition also packed up and lay on their sides in the trench, quietly waiting for the order to attack.

Although the brothers kept quiet before the battle, they were full of energy, their faces were full of excitement as if they had been pumped with chicken blood, and the inspiring pre-war mobilization speech of the head of the regiment Zhang Handuo was still echoing in their heads.

"The devils hide in Neihuang City and want to be bastards. They have bunkers and fortifications, but we also have bullets and machine guns. Our regiment is the most capable regiment in the entire 74th Army. This time I have given me enough strength, regardless of the devils' bastards. How hard it is, I will smash it to pieces this time!"

Yang Ling had to admit that the team leader Zhang Handuo was good at boosting morale. A few words he said casually could make the brothers' blood boil and their morale high.

Although the 301st Regiment has fought well in several battles, they are not outstanding among the powerful 74th Army, but the regiment leader dared to shout their strongest slogan, so the brothers didn't bother to take care of it. With so many people, they have already preconceived that they are the strongest, so they will be desperate when fighting, and they don't want to lose to friendly troops.

Yang Ling walked around the trench with his waist down, and found that the brothers were very enthusiastic about fighting, so he was relieved. This tough battle doesn't need anything else. Open a hole and win quickly.

"Is there a problem?"

Yang Ling finally returned to the front trenches. Here, more than 50 carefully selected soldiers led by the captain and company commander Liu Yidao are resting. The Japanese defense line.

Liu Yidao was still carefree, and smiled when he faced Yang Ling's question: "Deputy officer, don't worry, the brothers have all drank blood wine and sworn a blood oath, if we can't break our mouths, we are not ready to come back."
