"Old Wang, what did you just say?" Xu Rui said, "Did you find surface coal?"
"No. [Maopu's fastest and most complete update for free]" Wang Husheng said, "After I found this piece of anthracite under the wall of a fellow villager's house in the morning, I immediately found the man in the house and asked him where he got it.
This stone came, and guess what? The man from the family told me that he picked it up from Ye Yetan."
"Wild Horse Beach?"
Xu Rui quickly opened the map.
From the map, Xu Rui quickly found Yematan.
Yematan is located on the northwest side of Meizhen, about fifteen miles away from Meizhen. The Meihe River flowing from north to south makes a big bend at Yematan, forming a huge bay. Judging from the scale of the map, this
The width of the river bend is about one thousand meters, and its depth is more than two thousand meters.
"Let's go, Lao Wang, let's go to Ye Yetan!"
Xu Rui immediately couldn't sit still, pulled Wang Husheng and walked out.
"Now?" Wang Husheng said in surprise, "Old Xu, it's daytime now. There are Japanese cavalry patrolling near Meizhen. Although Yema Beach is far away, it's hard to say how close it is."
Xu Rui said: "Aren't they just a few Japanese cavalry? What are you afraid of?"
Xu Rui continued to pull Wang Husheng out, and when he reached the door, he shouted loudly: "Old Mo, hurry up to the cavalry camp and lend me and the political commissar two horses. By the way, lend me one for yourself, hurry up."
"Okay." Mo Zichen outside agreed, turned around and left in a hurry.
About half an hour later, Xu Rui, Wang Husheng, Mo Zichen and Wang Husheng's bodyguards, four on four horses, appeared at Yema Beach on the northwest side of Meizhen. The journey went smoothly and they did not encounter any Japanese reconnaissance cavalry.
.
When he arrived at Yema Beach, Xu Rui immediately got off his horse and started looking for coal on the river beach.
At a glance, I saw that the entire Yema Beach was basically filled with fist-sized pebbles, with a few jet-black stones here and there. As expected, these black stones were all coal. Xu Rui picked up a coal and placed it on the beach.
After smashing it on a stone, we found that the coal had the same color inside without any impurities. It was indeed high-quality anthracite!
Then, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng used the hoes they carried with them to dig up the sand and gravel on the river beach. After digging out a thin layer of sand and gravel, a black coal seam was immediately exposed underneath! Seeing this black coal seam, Wang Husheng was unable to mine coal.
So he was not very interested, but Xu Rui was overjoyed and walked excitedly towards the center of the river beach.
In the center of the river beach is a wasteland covered with grass. The thin soil layer of the wasteland is dug out, and there is still a black coal seam underneath.
In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, Xu Rui randomly selected a dozen points and dug up the sand at these points. The result was that without exception, there were black coal seams underneath. At this point, Xu Rui was very sure that this was
There is indeed a rather large surface anthracite coal field buried under the river beach.
I just don’t know how extensive the coal mine is and how deep the coal seam is?
However, this is no longer the point for Xu Rui. The point is that there is indeed a coal field here! And it is also a high-quality anthracite coal field!
"Let's go back!" Xu Rui didn't say another word, got on his horse and turned around to leave.
Returning to the regiment headquarters, Xu Rui immediately called all the officers of the regiment above the company to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.
Two hours later, the commanders of each battalion and company rushed to the independent regiment headquarters one after another, and everyone was yawning all day long. They had fought hard all night the night before yesterday, and had another noisy night yesterday. Although they slept for two consecutive days, they could relax.
But the spirit is not so easy to recover, which is why the troops must rest and recuperate after the war.
However, Xu Rui's first words made everyone feel sleepy.
"I've already thought about it." Xu Rui's eyes swept across the faces of more than a dozen battalions and company commanders, and said, "Next, we will launch a big offensive and try to eliminate the Kawaguchi detachment in one battle!"
"What, a big offensive?"
"Determine the Kawaguchi detachment in one battle?"
"My dear, are you real or fake?"
As soon as Xu Rui finished speaking, more than a dozen battalions and company commanders exploded.
To be honest, a commander like Xu Rui will give you a "big surprise" from time to time. The battalion commanders and company commanders of the independent regiment are already very nervous, but they suddenly heard Xu Rui's
After these words, everyone was still shocked. This is a detachment, a detachment!
God, the leader really dares to think, he really dares to say!
But after the shock, questions followed.
Leng Tiefeng first raised the question and said: "Old Xu, are you sure you are not joking?"
Xu Rui still said the same thing: "Veteran, when did you see me joking about business?"
It's true that although Xu Rui occasionally makes small jokes with his officers and soldiers, when it comes to serious matters, especially when it comes to war, he will never joke at all.
At that moment Leng Tiefeng said: "So you are serious?"
"Of course." Xu Rui said, "It's more real than the guy on your waist."
"Okay." Leng Tiefeng said, "Then we are all ears."
"Come here, come here all." Xu Rui first walked to the huge simulated sand table in the war room, then waved to Leng Tiefeng and other dozen battalions. The company commanders also gathered around the sand table, and then continued, "
The key to this operation is to try to lure out the Kawaguchi detachment, so we must first give the Japanese some bait."
"Bait?"
"Still fishing?"
"I asked Lao Xu, are you addicted to fishing?"
He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan and Leng Tiefeng raised questions again, and the company commanders below also nodded unanimously. Obviously they were not optimistic about Xu Rui's plan. Under Xu Rui's deliberate guidance or cultivation, these battalion company commanders all learned
Thinking independently, even if this is the plan proposed by Xu Rui, it will inevitably be questioned.
Xu Rui said happily: "Since fishing is effective, why not fish?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, the ancients said that you can never be proud again."
Wan Zhongshan also said: "The Western philosopher Plato said that one cannot step into the same river twice. Lao Xu, you want to ambush the Japanese twice with the same method, but you think Kawaguchi Heiji is too stupid."
Li Hai, who was sitting behind Wan Zhongshan, said: "Lao Wan, this was said by Galileo, not Plato."
"What, it's what Euclid said." Heipi said in a serious tone, "It's Euclid's law. It's impossible for a person to step into the same river twice. In other words, it's impossible to make the same mistake consecutively.
twice."
"Go, go, shut up. Didn't I know that this was Euclid's law? I just made a slip of the tongue." Wan Zhongshan felt a little confused on his face. It seemed that there would be millions more~ Wan\xiao! said.
Two black lines immediately appeared on Xu Rui's forehead.
Let me go, how did Heraclitus become Plato? Or Euclid's law.
Mei Jiuling and Huang Shouxin, who were sitting at the outermost edge of the crowd, also wanted to laugh but did not dare.
But Xu Rui didn't expose Wan Zhongshan and the others after all. In fact, he was too lazy to expose them. He discussed Western philosophy with three old soldiers. Isn't this the same as discussing embroidery skills with a butcher?
And to be honest, Xu Rui is not interested in Western philosophy at all. When it comes to philosophy, Eastern philosophy is much higher than Western philosophy. It is just because it was clearly behind in the first industrial revolution in modern times, so along with all the Eastern philosophy
This philosophical thought has also become dusty and looked down upon by others.
In fact, until China's re-emergence in the early 21st century, many Chinese people had no confidence in themselves and would always refer to the West in every word they spoke. This is a typical case of kneeling for too long and forgetting how to stand.
In a word, patriotism is guiltless and requires no reason, let alone any need to be secretive.
At that moment, Xu Rui took over: "I understand what you mean. I can't say that your worries are completely unreasonable. As long as Kawaguchi Heiji is not an idiot, the possibility of making the same mistake twice in a row is indeed very slim, but what I want to say
Yes, as long as you put enough bait, you don’t have to worry about Kawaguchi not taking the bait.”
Leng Tiefeng said: "Then tell me, what kind of bait are you planning to lay?"
Xu Rui did not answer immediately, but placed the triangular flags of various colors, dolls, trucks, tanks, artillery and other models placed nearby on the sand table. Mei Jiuling and Huang Shouxin also came up to help. The three of them were very
Quickly place all the deduction tools on the simulation sand table.
After everything was set up, Xu Rui said: "Now we are going to conduct a war game. I am still the leader of the independent regiment. Veteran, please feel sorry for me and act as the old devil Kawaguchi Heiji, and you, are the combat advisers of the Kawaguchi detachment."
In order to perfect the entire combat plan as much as possible, Xu Rui decided to single out all the battalion and company commanders, because in this way, under the heated deductions of everyone, the hidden flaws in the entire combat plan would be exposed as much as possible.
In actual combat, unplanned emergencies will be reduced as much as possible.
Xu Rui first picked up a soldier model, placed it on the outskirts of Meizhen, and said: "Now I will first send a company to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese guard post outside Meizhen at night."
"Old Xu, is this your bait? I can only say that you are too stingy." Leng Tiefeng smiled suddenly, picked up a soldier model from the Japanese military camp, placed it in the corresponding position, and said, "I will
Send a squadron for reinforcements. If you don't use the machine gun battery or the special operations team, one of your companies can't do anything to one of my squadrons."
"What if I dispatch two more companies?" Xu Rui said, picking up two more soldier models and placing them on the battlefield.
"Add fuel tactics?" Leng Tiefeng paused, then picked up two soldier models and placed them on the battlefield. He said coldly, "Then I will also deploy two more squadrons. If you don't have any other tricks, Lao Xu,
If you just blindly add troops to the battlefield, in the end, you will definitely be the first to run out of troops, not this old devil like Kawaguchi."
"Really? Then we might as well wait and see." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he picked up nine more soldier models and placed them on the battlefield. Then he clapped his hands and said, "Now, I will put all three infantry battalions into the battlefield.
I must eat this piece of fat that has been brought to my mouth at all costs."
