Chapter 319 Command Power(1/2)
Wang Ye smiled and asked again: "Then Brigade Commander Chu thought that if the Japanese army really launched the Zhongtiaoshan Battle, how many troops would it mobilize?"
Chu Yunfei thought for a while and said, "At least one hundred thousand people..."
Halfway through speaking, Chu Yunfei's face had collapsed.
Because Wang Ye means that for an army of more than 100,000 people, what is the use of transferring a mere infantry regiment? It is useless at all.
Should the Central Army on Zhongtiao Mountain collapse or not?
After a while, Chu Yunfei said, "That's better than doing nothing."
Wang Ye said: "But if you can do better, why not?"
"Better?" Fang Ligong said, "So, will Staff Wang have a better choice?"
"I have it." Wang Ye walked to the map posted on the wall, took a picture of the unmarked location below the map, and looked around everyone and said, "Here, Taiyuan!"
"What?" Chu Yunfei, Liang Gang and Fang Ligong looked at each other.
After a while, Fang Ligong said, "Staff Officer Wang, aren't you kidding?"
Wang Ye said: "Why did Chief of Staff think I was joking, not serious?"
"The reason is very simple." Fang Ligong said coldly, "If anyone with a slightly normal mind will not speak such nonsense like dreams. To attack Taiyuan? Isn't that asking for death!"
"Wait." At this time, Liang Gang suddenly said.
"It may be really possible to fight Taiyuan at this time."
Chu Yunfei had just never thought about this possibility before.
Now that Liang Gang said this, Chu Yunfei began to think seriously.
At that moment, Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang were analyzing it as if no one was around.
At the end, Chu Yunfei said: "In other words, if the Japanese army really launches the Zhongtiaoshan Battle, the Taiyuan defenders will be at most 5,000 at that time, and we will have a chance to take them down!"
"Even if you can't get it, you can scare the Japanese into a cold sweat."
"Taiyuan is not only the provincial capital, but also the headquarters of the 1st Army of Shanxi. If Taiyuan is lost, it will be a fatal blow to the Japanese army in Shanxi, so the Japanese army dare not take it lightly."
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei hit the junction hard again:
"At that time, the Japanese army will definitely draw heavy troops back to the rescue."
Liang Gangdao: "In this way, the pressure on Zhongtiaoshan will be reduced."
"Yes, this is a really good idea." Chu Yunfei's idea was completely opened and he clenched his fists and said, "Just hit Taiyuan! You must hit Taiyuan! You hit Taiyuan!"
Fang Ligong was stupid there.
"Hikata, I heard it right? Do you really want to fight Taiyuan?"
"Really fight!" Chu Yunfei pointed his head and said, "For the 200,000 Central Army plan on Zhongtiao Mountain, the life and death plan of the party and the country, and to live up to the principal's cultivation. Taiyuan must fight!"
"That's right!" Liang Gang said with a serious look on his face, "You can't let the principal down."
Wang Ye couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hands, thinking that although Chang Kaishen's military command was mediocre, his ability to win people's hearts was really powerful. These Huangpu students were really loyal to Chang Kaishen.
Chu Yunfei is like this, Liang Gang, who has not been in northwest Shanxi for a long time, is still like this.
At this time, Wang Ye suddenly said, "Brig Commander Chu and Brigade Commander Liang, do you know if you should say it or not?"
Then, without waiting for the two to allow, Wang Ye said directly: "You two think how many troops are needed to attack Taiyuan? Have you ever thought that when the 1st Independent Brigade and the 94th Independent Brigade went south to attack Taiyuan, will the Japanese army in Anhua take advantage of the situation to conquer your base? Or intercept you from behind?"
"This..." Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang were speechless.
Just now, I was only concerned about exploring the possibility of fighting Taiyuan, but I ignored my own defense.
But in fact, this idea of focusing only on offense but not defense is extremely dangerous.
If the war in the attack on Taiyuan goes well, it's nothing, but if the progress is not going well, it will be a big trouble.
At this time, Fang Ligong also reacted and said deeply: "Yes, escort, I think the argument of Staff Wang is reasonable. The risk of attacking Taiyuan is too high, because the troops used are less and they cannot be taken down. Not to mention whether they can force the Japanese army in Zhongtiaoshan to return to the aid, if one is not careful, he will be reversed by the Japanese army and suffer a great loss."
"And if there are more troops deployed, will our defense zone still need it?"
"Also, the 2nd Guard Division will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely intercept our retreat. If this is the case, how should our army deal with it? We have to consider all these problems."
Speaking of this, Fang Ligong concluded: "It is really not feasible to fight Taiyuan."
After a moment of silence, Chu Yunfei said: "Taiyuan must fight, even if you pay the entire Independent Brigade, it will be a waste. I have decided, so Chief of Staff Fang will not persuade him anymore."
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei asked Liang Gang again: "Brother Tiefeng, where are you?"
Liang Gang did not answer Chu Yunfei immediately, but turned to Wang Ye: "Staff Officer Wang has a solution?"
"Of course there is a solution." Li Yunlong took over the conversation and said, "If Brother Chu and Brigade Commander Liang are worried that the Japanese will take the lead, they can ask our Eighth Route Army for help."
"The attack on the aid of the Eighth Route Army is the best way to attack our Eighth Route Army."
Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang looked at each other, but hesitated.
The last time they cooperated with the Eighth Route Army, it made the principal very unhappy.
If we cooperate with the Eighth Route Army again this time, the principal will be furious, right?
Maybe after the battle, they will be dismissed or even arrested.
But soon, Chu Yunfei threw all these concerns behind his mind. He still said that for the sake of the party, national economy, and in order to live up to the principal's cultivation, he could ignore his personal reputation and criticism.
It is also easy to sacrifice one's personal future.
Chu Yunfei said again: "Brother Yunlong is really willing to help?"
"I am certainly willing, of course I am willing." Li Yunlong smiled, "But in this way, is this considered a joint combat between our 386th Brigade and your 1st Brigade and your 94th Brigade?"
"Of course." Chu Yunfei nodded, "This is of course considered a joint combat."
"Okay." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "Since it's a joint battle, we have to say it."
"Speak, saying, " Chu Yunfei was confused when he heard this and asked with a confused look on his face, "What are you talking about?"
"Of course it's about command." Li Yunlong laughed, "As the saying goes, a snake cannot do without a head. Since it is a joint combat between three brigades, it will be worth a subordinate. Brother Chu and Brigade Commander Liang, what do you think?"
"It should be, I'm fine." Liang Gang thought Li Yunlong too well, thinking that Li Yunlong raised this issue simply to solve the problem of unified command, not to seek joint command.
Liang Gang never even thought that Li Yunlong would seek joint command.
Because whether from the strength and equipment level of the three brigades, or from the military ranks of several of their chief officials, the joint command power should naturally belong to Chu Yunfei.
Because Chu Yunfei is not only the rank of major general, but also the 1st Brigade has the largest number of troops and the best equipment.
However, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong have known each other for almost a year, and they can already guess Li Yunlong’s general thoughts.
Chu Yunfei sneered and said, "Brother Yunlong, are you trying to let Brother Liang, the two brigade commanders, accept the command of you, the regiment commander?"
"What?" Liang Gang was stunned when he heard this.
No? Let me, a brigade commander, obey the commander of you and the commander?
Moreover, I, the brigade commander, is also the brigade commander of the Central Army, but you are the commander of the Eighth Route Army.
Fang Ligong also thought Li Yunlong was crazy? How much wine did he drink before coming? He was so drunk?
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "To be honest, letting us, the commander of Lao Li, commander, commander of you two brigade commanders is indeed a bit like that, but Lao Li is thick-skinned and not afraid of others saying it. But Brother Chu and Brigade Commander Liang, if it is spread, your face will be bad, so it is difficult to deal with it."
Wang Ye couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hands.
This is the most terrible provocation.
But the effect should be unsatisfactory.
Sure enough, Chu Yunfei hummed and said again: "Chu and Brother Liang are not afraid of others' words."
"It's just that if we want to command our two brigades and shoulder the heavy responsibility of commanding the Taiyuan Battle, it is probably not enough to rely on a thick-skinned face. We also need to have real talents and knowledge to show off."
Okay, that's what Li Yunlong and Wang Ye were saying.
Li Yunlong said at the moment: "Then please ask Brother Chu to draw the way."
Liang Gang and Fang Ligong's eyes fell on Li Yunlong.
Chu Yunfei sneered twice and said, "Since we are fighting Taiyuan, let's take the Taiyuan Battle as the topic. Brother Yunlong dares to have a war game with Chu?"
"Wargame deduction?" Li Yunlong said.
"What?" Fang Ligong said sneered, "Have Captain Li learned it?"
"Old Li is just a mud-legged person, so how could he have the chance to learn such a profound thing?" Li Yunlong shook his head and then said, "But it doesn't matter that he hasn't learned it, because Old Li is born to know it."
"Hmph, Brother Yunlong is born to know?" Chu Yunfei said, "So, are you still a genius?"
"Haha, Brother Yunfei, you're right. Our division commander praised me back then." Li Yunlong laughed and continued, "I was only seventeen years old that year. I had just joined the army for less than two months, and I was called to be a guard for our division commander. When the division commander was doing military chess with a few staff officers, our old Li said casually, but the commander scolded him."
"What can you charge for your dog day? Can you understand the map? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
"As a result, I walked up and pointed it all, for our Lao Li, it was a real mountain and a real water."
"Oh, there is also war chess deduction. Our old Li doesn't need to learn it at all. He understands it all at once."
"At that time, our teacher was so happy that he kept praising me. You are such a genius."
Hearing this, Chu Yunfei, Liang Gang and Fang Ligong immediately laughed and the roof was almost blown off.
