Chapter three hundred and seventy-ninth sound east hit west
"Brigade, I just went to the front line to observe the enemy's situation and found that the Japanese army's positions are well fortified, with numerous bunkers and weapons. If we blindly attack from all sides, even if we capture it, we will definitely cause a lot of casualties."
Yang Ling stood up and spoke out his thoughts in detail, but before he could finish his words, the expression of the chief of staff who was responsible for formulating the battle plan turned gloomy.
The chief of staff didn't wait for the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao to speak, but he spoke in a strange voice: "Deputy Commander Yang, there are no immortals in a war. If you are afraid of death, you can stay at the command post behind."
This combat plan was formulated jointly by their brigade staff. Now that Yang Ling has raised objections in public, which is a denial of their staff work, the chief of staff will naturally not look good on Yang Ling.
Yang Ling did not flinch in the face of this groundless accusation. He replied: "If I was afraid of death, I would not join the army. The reason why I objected to the battle plan was just to tell the truth."
"I understand what you mean. Do you think that our colleagues on the staff are not as good as you?" the chief of staff said with a dark face.
"I didn't mean any offense..."
Just as Yang Ling was about to continue speaking, Zhang Handuo, the group leader sitting next to him, reached out and tugged on his sleeve secretly, asking him to sit down and stop arguing. After all, it would not do them any good to continue arguing like this.
"If you have any opinions, you can raise them, but it doesn't matter." Brigadier Zhou Zhidao also came out in time to relieve the situation. 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 speak, he felt angry but could not get angry. He forced a smile and said, "Deputy Commander Yang, let's talk about your opinions."
Yang Ling could naturally hear the sarcasm in the Chief of Staff's words, but he didn't care. He just didn't want his brothers to go up and die in vain. It's true that fighting requires casualties, but it doesn't mean fighting all the time.
Dash.
He cleared his throat and said: "My suggestion is..."
After Yang Ling's words fell, there was a buzz of whispering in the tent. His suggestion was very simple, that is, to change the all-out attack to a focused breakthrough. First, a part of the force would feint to contain the Japanese army, and then the main force would launch a real fierce attack from another line of defense.
Achieve the purpose of seizing the east and attacking the west.
This method of attack can not only avoid turning an all-out offensive into a war of attrition with a sharp increase in casualties, but can also concentrate forces to attack the Inner Yellow City unexpectedly and achieve victory in a short period of time.
Brigadier Zhou Zhidao also fell into deep thought after listening to Yang Ling's words. Yang Ling's combat plan only made small changes to the original plan, but the effect is obvious. Concentrate superior forces to break through a little, and then
The two wings swept across and could quickly tear apart the Japanese defense line.
"Do you have any other opinions on Deputy Commander Yang's suggestions?" Brigadier Zhou Zhidao looked around at the sitting officers and asked.
Zhang Lingfu, deputy commander of the 153rd Brigade and commander of the 305th Regiment, stood up and said: "I support Deputy Commander Yang's suggestion that the troops of each regiment change from simultaneous attacks to the main attack and feint attacks to attack the east and attack the west. The feint attacks contain the Japanese army and attract attention.
, the main direction of attack is to give a thunderous blow to penetrate the inner yellow in a short time and resolve the battle."
As soon as Zhang Lingfu finished speaking, regimental commander Qiu Weida also said: "The troops who are conducting a feint attack must have a main offensive posture, so as to attract the attention of the Japanese army. Our regiment is willing to serve as a feint attack.
"If we want to tear apart the Japanese defense line in the main direction of attack, I think that before the large forces attack, we can send a small elite unit to lurk at the front of the Japanese army. When the attack starts, they can rush in quickly and open a channel for the follow-up troops to attack.
." Captain Ji Hongru also spoke.
The regimental commanders quickly perfected the new combat plan with each other's words. Compared with the original plan formulated by the brigade staff headquarters for all regiments to disperse the attack, the new operational plan is more in line with the appetite of the regimental commanders.
, although the chief of staff was dissatisfied, he was not willing to offend the group leaders.
"Is there anything you need to add to the staff office?" Brigadier Zhou Zhidao was also very satisfied with the new plan, but he still turned around and asked because of the chief of staff's dignity.
"All the regiment leaders have said very well, but our staff office has nothing to add." Now the chief of staff is mute and unable to express his sufferings.
Yang Ling originally just wanted to put forward a suggestion of his own. Who knew that the entire battle plan had been revised? He felt helpless. However, fighting in this way could avoid delaying the critical battle indefinitely and reduce casualties to a certain extent. This was something he liked to see.
of.
Brigadier Zhou Zhidao quickly agreed to the new combat plan, and the attack positions of each regiment were readjusted. This time they would 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.
"Brigade, this Deputy Commander Yang is a little too crazy. The battle plan that more than ten of our staff members worked up late at night was overturned by him in just a few words. This work will not be easy to carry out in the future."
After Yang Ling and the others left, the suffocating chief of staff went to the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao to complain. After all, their staff was in trouble this time.
"Your staff office has no merit but hard work. I know all of this, but your responsibilities are heavy. Your plans are related to the lives of thousands of brothers. If you really follow your strategy, how many years and months will it be possible to defeat the enemy?
City, how many more casualties will our brothers have to suffer? So don’t always blame others, you should sum up and reflect on it yourself, and you can’t take the lives of the brothers as your fate.”
Brigadier Zhou Zhidao taught the newly transferred chief of staff earnestly. Most of these officers who had been working as staff officers after graduating from military schools had no actual combat experience, and the combat plans they formulated were somewhat taken for granted. This was sometimes the case in actual combat.
is fatal.
"Yes, I will definitely bear in mind Brigadier's teachings! Seriously summarize and reflect." The chief of staff also realized the mistake and spoke hurriedly.
Zhou Zhidao waved his hand and said, "Okay, you are quite tired, 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 regiment leader Zhang Handuo also returned to the regiment. Yang Ling raised objections in public, which embarrassed the chief of staff. The regiment leader 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.
It's not good for you or our regiment if you offend the Chief of Staff like this."
"Yes, I understand." Yang Ling agreed.
When the regiment leader Zhang Handuo saw Yang Ling's promise, he patted Yang Ling's shoulder with a smile and said, "Let's go study the tactics."
