Chapter 13 Chen Ziyun’s insights
Qian Bojun and Liang Guoping naturally heard what Chen Ziyun said, and they were filled with anger.
If Chu Yunfei was there to suppress him, maybe they would be ready to teach Chen Ziyun a lesson.
Now they are asking Chen Ziyun by name to express his opinions. They are just asking Chen Ziyun to make a fool of himself in public.
In their opinion, Chen Ziyun may have strong artillery command and deployment capabilities, but how can a small artillery company commander understand the formation of thousands of troops?
Whether it was Bu Shen, Qian Bojun or Liang Guoping, how could they have imagined that Chen Ziyun, a man of two generations, had unimaginable abilities.
Apart from anything else, Chen Ziyun was somewhat familiar with many of the combat concepts of later generations.
"Company Commander Chen, in that case, let me tell you my opinion."
Chu Yunfei glanced at Chen Ziyun, hesitated for a while, and said directly.
Chen Ziyun was not timid, he walked over directly and took the baton from Chief of Staff Fang Ligong.
He looked at the huge sand table and wondered if he could understand it because of the fusion of the original owner's memories.
To borrow a saying from Lao Li, everything marked on the big sand table is not real in his eyes.
Whether the deployment proposed by Qian Bojun or not, the 358th Regiment built three lines of defense, relied on the positions built in advance and relied on artillery support to fully block the Lunar Army's attack.
There are three lines of defense, otherwise there will be a long snake formation.
Is that a common defense strategy? Troops are deployed in a front-line manner. It seems that they are fortified everywhere, but in fact they are broken through at one point and the entire line of defense is instantly defeated.
Of course, there are advantages to deploying in this way, because the troops can escape from the battlefield at any time like herding sheep and preserve their strength.
Precisely because there was such an escape route, many troops fought against the Japs and collapsed at the first touch.
Is the area where the 358th Regiment is stationed also outside the range of Cangyun Ridge, and is there any high ground nearby?
Qian Bojun has also been in the army for a long time, so he naturally understands the pursuit of high ground.
But he was unwilling to invest too many troops in the highlands. After all, it was inconvenient for troops to move on the highlands and it was easy to fall into a deadly battle.
It has been 40 years now, and the miscellaneous troops such as the Jinsui Army have long lost their original momentum of fighting to the death.
Due to various reasons, many people do not want to continue fighting the Japanese, but rather want to preserve their strength.
"Regiment leader, in his opinion, his regiment should abandon its first-line defense and conduct operations with a network of defense in depth."
"Focus on the high ground for defense, and deploy artillery to carry out layer-by-layer attacks to consume the Moon Army troops."
"In terms of deployment, weapons should be heavy in the front and light in the back, and soldiers should be light in the front and heavy in the back!"
Chen Ziyun picked up the baton, pointed at the map, and began to express his thoughts in detail.
Chu Yunfei and others didn't care much at first, but as Chen Ziyun explained, their expressions became serious.
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong did not hesitate to take out a pen and paper and record it in detail.
"Weapons are heavy in the front and light in the back, and soldiers are light in the front and heavy at the back."
"Reticular defense in depth, blocking at every level."
"The repelled troops quickly moved to both sides for containment, quickly regrouped their combat effectiveness, and launched a counterattack from the flanks."
"Light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns and rifles focus fire, and give full play to the advantages of leg grenades."
After Chen Ziyun finished explaining, Chu Yunfei looked at the sand table and murmured to himself.
Fang Ligong looked at the words he had recorded and the sand table, and his eyes lit up.
Qian Bojun frowned, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Ziyun changed.
He is no longer in the army, so he can naturally discern Chen Ziyun's overall plan, which is indeed very clever.
Liang Guoping's face was full of shock. He didn't expect that Chen Ziyun actually knew how to arrange troops.
No matter how stupid he is, you can still tell from the expressions on the faces of Chu Yunfei and others that Chen Ziyun's suggestion is obviously different.
"Xuan Yun, have you never thought that my skills in artillery are astonishing. Even the formation of troops is not inferior to those of their professional infantry officers."
"Amazing, really amazing. The top students trained by Principal Fu are indeed extraordinary!"
"Brother Ligong, from what I have seen, what plan should they adopt for defensive deployment?"
Chu Yunfei clapped softly and instantly changed his name to Chen Ziyun.
"Regiment leader, make arrangements according to Company Commander Chen's suggestions, and his regiment will surely be in an invincible position!"
"Not to mention a Sakata Regiment that suffered casualties, even if it is a Sakata Regiment at full strength, they can fight evenly with them!"
"In this battle, if the regiment in Dongfeng unites sincerely and the officers and soldiers fight to the death, they will surely gain great results!"
Fang Ligong looked at Chu Yunfei and said with an excited expression on his face.
Before, he was unwilling to fight the Sakata Regiment because he was unwilling to disobey military orders and felt that the 358th Regiment would not make a mistake.
But now, the Japs are about to take the initiative to attack. They defend and resist on the spot. There is no violation of military orders.
With such a complete defense deployment plan, Fang Ligong wondered whether they could fight a dozen.
Chu Yunfei nodded. He took the baton from Chen Ziyun's leg, pointed at the combat sand table, and began to divide the defense areas.
The 1st Battalion is attached to the 2nd Company of the Artillery Battalion and is responsible for the defense on the left side.
The second and third battalions are attached to the first company of the artillery battalion and are responsible for the defense on the right side.
Each department focuses on defending high ground, deploys deep network defense positions, and actively prepares for war.
The fourth battalion will serve as a reserve team. At the same time, Chu Yunfei organized a guard platoon based on the regiment headquarters security squad and the first company ammunition platoon security squad.
That guard platoon was commanded by Lieutenant Sun Ming, Chu Yunfei's adjutant, and was specifically responsible for guarding the first company of the artillery battalion.
"All ministries deploy quickly and must build a complete defensive position in the shortest possible time."
"This battle is of great importance. If any of the ministries evacuates the battlefield without orders from the regiment headquarters, they will be severely punished!"
Chu Yunfei had a serious expression on his face. He looked towards the officers and directly gave the order.
"No, regimental commander." The officers agreed to come east.
Immediately afterwards, the officers present saluted, left the regiment headquarters, and returned directly to the unit to prepare.
Chen Ziyun's 1st company was assigned to the 2nd and 3rd battalions to fight and was responsible for the defense on the right side.
After returning to his first company, Chen Ziyun immediately called a meeting of all officers and soldiers of the company.
While they were having a meeting, Chu Yunfei sent Sun Ming to specially deliver three hundred oceans directly.
After all, Chu Yunfei was the leader of the regiment and came from a wealthy family, so he couldn't afford that little money.
Chen Ziyun looked at the rolls of ocean wrapped in red paper, and directly left one hundred yuan, and the remaining two hundred yuan was divided among the officers and soldiers of the first company.
"The one hundred oceans will be left at the company headquarters. In future battles, if any brothers unfortunately die in the country, some oceans will be taken out to provide compensation!"
"Please tell me if Chen Ziyun has lost his conscience and embezzled that hundred yuan, any one of us can shoot him with a black gun at any time."
Chen Ziyun looked at the officers and soldiers and said with a serious expression on his face.
When the soldiers of the first company heard Chen Ziyun's words, they felt warm in their hearts.
In fact, they had known about it for a long time, and the regiment headquarters awarded Chen Ziyun one hundred yuan.
Chen Ziyun did not deserve that one hundred oceans.
They were very moved when Chen Ziyun was willing to use the one hundred oceans to provide pensions for the fallen soldiers in the future.
