"Brigade seat, we just went to the front line to observe the enemy's situation, and found that the Japanese positions and fortifications are complete, pillboxes are numerous, and weapons are neat, if we blindly attack from all sides, even if we capture it, it will inevitably cause great casualties.

Yang Ling stood up and said his thoughts one by one, but before his words fell, the chief of staff 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 opened his mouth in a weird manner: "Deputy Regiment Commander Yang, how can there be immortals in a war, if you are afraid of death, you can stay in the rear command post." ”

This battle plan was formulated by the staff officers of their brigade headquarters, and now Yang Ling has raised objections in public, that is, the denial of their staff work, and the chief of staff will naturally not give Yang Ling a good look.

Yang Ling did not flinch in the face of this groundless accusation, he replied: "If I was afraid of death, I would not have come to 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 the level of our staff colleagues is not as good as yours?" The chief of staff said with a dark face.

"I didn't mean to be offended......"

Yang Ling was about to continue, but Zhang Handuo, the head of the regiment sitting next to him, stretched out his hand and secretly pulled his sleeve, wanting 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 mention them, but it's okay to say it," Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao also came out in time to relieve the siege, he looked at Yang Ling with a smile and said, "Deputy Commander Yang, tell me what good ideas you have." ”

The chief of staff saw that the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao had opened his mouth, and it was not easy to attack when he was angry, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Deputy Regiment Commander Yang, then let's talk about your high opinions." ”

Yang Ling could naturally hear the irony in the Chief of Staff's words, but he didn't care, he just didn't want his brother to go up to die in vain, it was true that fighting a war would cost casualties, but it didn't mean that he kept fighting and rushing.

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

Yang Ling's words fell, and there was a buzz in the tent, and his suggestion was very simple, that is, a full-scale attack should be changed to a key breakthrough, first by a part of the troops to feint to contain the Japanese army, and then the main force was to launch a real onslaught from another line of defense to achieve the goal of attacking the east and the west.

This offensive method can not only avoid turning the all-out offensive into a war of attrition with a sharp increase in casualties, but also concentrate forces and attack the inner Yellow City by surprise in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the goal of winning the battle in a short period of time.

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao also fell into deep thought slightly after listening to Yang Ling's words, Yang Ling's battle plan was only a small change in the original plan, but the effect was obvious, concentrating superior forces to break through a little, and then the two wings swept away, which could quickly tear apart the Japanese defense line.

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

Zhang Lingfu, deputy commander of the 153rd Brigade and commander of the 305th Regiment, stood up and said: "I support Deputy Regiment Commander Yang's suggestion that the troops of each regiment should change from simultaneous attacks to main attacks and feints to carry out tactics of attacking the east and west, feints to contain the Japanese army and attract attention, and the main direction of attack is to give a thunderous blow to attack Neihuang in a short period of time and solve the battle." ”

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

"If you want to tear apart the Japanese defense line in the direction of the main attack, I think that before the attack of the large force, you can send an elite small force to lurk in the front line of the Japanese army to hide, and at the beginning of the attack, you can quickly break through and tear the channel for the follow-up troops' attack." Head Ji Hongru also opened his mouth.

Compared with the plan drawn up by the brigade staff headquarters for the all-round dispersion of the offensive of each regiment, the new battle plan is more in line with the appetite of the regiment commanders, and although the chief of staff is dissatisfied, he is not willing to offend the regiment commanders.

"Is there anything else you need to add to your staff?" Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao was also very satisfied with the new plan, but estimated the face of the chief of staff, so he still turned his head and asked.

"The commanders 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 say what he suffers.

Yang Ling originally just wanted to put forward a suggestion of his own, who knew that the entire battle plan had been revised, and he was helpless in his heart, but this kind of operation could avoid the indefinite delay of the offensive and reduce casualties to a certain extent, which he liked to see.

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao quickly agreed to a new battle plan, and the attack positions of each regiment were readjusted, and this time they would mainly attack the south gate and feint the east gate.

As the order was given, the commanders of the regiments rushed out of their 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 seat, this Deputy Regiment Commander Yang is a bit too nonsense, the battle plan formulated by more than ten of our staff officers who stayed up all night was overturned by him in a few words, and this work will not be carried out in the future."

After Yang Ling and the others left, the chief of staff who was holding his breath in his heart complained to the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao, after all, they had a hard time in the staff office this time.

"I know that your staff office has no merit and hard work, but your responsibility is heavy, and your plan is related to the lives of thousands of brothers. Therefore, don't always blame, but take a good summary and reflection yourself, and don't take the lives of your brothers for less. ”

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao earnestly instructed the newly transferred chief of staff, saying that most of these officers who have been doing staff work since graduating from the military academy have no actual combat experience, and the operational plans drawn up are also somewhat taken for granted, which is sometimes fatal in actual combat.

"Yes, I will remember the teachings of the brigade! Serious summary and reflection. The chief of staff also realized his mistake and hurriedly spoke.

Zhou Zhidao waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys are also quite tired, go down and rest well." ”

"Yes!" After the chief of staff stood up and saluted, he immediately turned and strode away.

Yang Ling and regiment commander Zhang Handuo also returned to the regiment, and raised objections to Yang Ling in public, which embarrassed the chief of staff, and the regiment commander Zhang Handuo also kindly reminded: "Brother Yang, don't be so reckless next time, let's come down and mention it if you have any opinions, you have offended the chief of staff like this, it will not be good for you or our regiment." ”

"yes, I see." Yang Ling agreed.

Seeing Yang Ling's promise, the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, patted Yang Ling's shoulder with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go and study the tactics." ”
