Chapter 520: Defense Plan
"Master!" When the sky was about to dawn, the correspondent handed a telegram to Zhang Chi, who was resting, and said: "A telegram from Wu Junzuo! ”
Zhang Chi yawned, rubbed his dry eyes, and then took the telegram. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just after looking at it for a while, Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning.
This is a letter sent by Wu Xuexin, commander of the 53rd Army, about the battle plan for the defense of Shenyang...... This was after the 53rd Army was stationed in Shenyang, Zhang Chi asked Wu Xuexin to rush out overnight.
In fact, this is also a test of Wu Xuexin by Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi wants to see the depth of this Wu Xuexin, but this Wu Xuexin does not satisfy Zhang Chi...... In fact, very dissatisfied.
Zhang Chi immediately asked the correspondent to connect to the phone of the military headquarters of the 53rd Army.
"Master!" Wu Xuexin responded respectfully on the phone.
"Wu Junzuo!" Zhang Chi said: "I have read the battle plan you sent, tell me about your combat thoughts!" ”
"Master!" Wu Xuexin replied: "I am prepared to rely on our army's superior tanks, artillery and sufficient logistics, supplemented by strong fortifications and fighter planes, to strike at the incoming Japanese army in an all-round ......."
"You know how to use fighter planes, too?" Zhang Chi interrupted Wu Xuexin's words.
"Master, this is ......" Wu Xuexin heard the dissatisfaction in Zhang Chi's tone.
"Can you tell me...... What is the combat radius of a fighter? Zhang Chi asked.
"Back to the division, 500 kilometers!" Wu Xuexin replied.
"You also know that there are 500 km?!" Zhang Chi scolded: "The combat radius of 500 kilometers ...... It was used by you to defend the Shenyang defense line that was only a dozen kilometers away, and you had the most mobility, defense, and firepower in your hands, and the Japanese army had no way to deal with it, but you only used it as a battery around Shenyang! ”
"Master!" Wu Xuexin hurriedly replied: "I will let the fighters reconnoiter and attack the supply lines of the Japanese army as far as possible......"
Zhang Chi was so angry that he punched the seat hard, but there was nothing he could do.
"...... like this" Zhang Chi took a deep breath and calmed down the depression in his heart a little, then said to Wu Xuexin: "There is a word called 'attacking instead of defending', you think about this word and then draw up a battle plan!" Move fast! ”
"Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chi couldn't help pinching his slightly aching forehead in anguish...... These people really don't let themselves worry!
Staff Officer Liang took the telegram and read it for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Master, this is actually no wonder Commander Wu. We, the troops transferred from China...... They are used to fighting with Little Japan according to their previous combat mode, and it is already good to dare to use the troops of one army to build several lines of defense outside the city like Commander Wu! ”
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.
Zhang Chi made a mistake...... He thought that as long as the 53rd Army and the 54th Army were equipped with American-style equipment and trained along the way, then these troops would have considerable combat effectiveness and become the right-hand men of the expeditionary force in the northeast battlefield.
But what Zhang Chi didn't take into account was that the equipment was armed to the teeth and even the tactical training was based on the US military, which could not change the psychological weakness of these troops...... You must know that the 6th Army, the 53rd Army, and the 54th Army, these armies have always faced the Japanese army at home, and they have always estimated the combat effectiveness of the enemy and us in a ratio of 1 to 3 or even 1 to 10, and there are even many people who think that the Japanese army is invincible...... In other words, psychologically kneeling down to the Japanese army, thus losing the confidence and courage that it should have.
For example, Wu Xuexin, who is now stationed in Shenyang...... Even if he had planes, tanks and artillery in his hands, what he thought in his heart was that it would be good if the troops of an army could hold one place in Shenyang, and he dared to disperse his troops?!
Therefore, Zhang Chi's mistake was that these troops were only trained in equipment and tactics, but did not conduct necessary training for officers, especially high-ranking officers, which led to Wu Xuexin's current situation...... He had a large amount of advanced equipment in his hands, but he was timid when he started a war.
Things were really just like Zhang Chi thought, Wu Xuexin on the other end couldn't help frowning after hanging up the phone, and then snorted with some dissatisfaction: "Replace defense with offense, tell me who won't ...... But with such a small number of troops, it is not enough to defend Shenyang, and we still use offense instead of defense? ! ”
"Throne!" Staff Officer Lin next to him chimed in: "That Zhang Chi has won a few battles with a little luck, and now his tail is so high that he doesn't take the Japanese seriously...... If you fight like him, I'm afraid that I will give Shenyang to the Japanese in just a few strokes! ”
Wu Xuexin couldn't help frowning, glared at Staff Officer Lin and said, "I don't know if the division seat has taken the Japanese in your eyes, but you don't even take the division seat in your eyes!" ”
Staff Officer Lin hurriedly responded, but he didn't dare to respond.
This is because Staff Officer Lin is not smart enough, although Wu Xuexin has different opinions from Zhang Chi on the defense of Shenyang, Wu Xuexin actually admires Zhang Chi in his heart...... This Wu Xuexin is also a veteran from the Huangpu Military Academy and has participated in the Battle of Nanchang, the Battle of Changsha, and the Battle of Wuhan in China, so of course he can see the strength of Zhang Chi's strategy and tactics in attacking the puppet Manchukuo.
It's just that......
Wu Xuexin thought about what Zhang Chi said, "replacing defense with offense...... Wouldn't it be too dangerous to fight like this? An army of less than 30,000 people has to be scattered to attack...... Will it be broken by the Japanese army? How do you keep your flanks safe?
When Wu Xuexin was in a dilemma, the communication soldier raised his head and said to Wu Xuexin: "Military seat, division seat phone!" ”
"Oh!" Wu Xuexin hurriedly took the phone and stepped forward and said, "Master!" ”
"Throne!" Zhang Chi said in a soothing tone: "I was in a hurry just now, sorry!" ”
"Master, it's too much for you to say that!" Hearing this, Wu Xuexin couldn't help but be moved, you must know that Zhang Chi is now a figure in the expeditionary force, but he will lower his posture to talk to himself like this.
"So be it!" Zhang Chi said: "It's a little inconvenient to talk on the phone, our vanguard has occupied Kaiyuan and built an airstrip there, you take a plane to Kaiyuan, we will discuss it in detail there!" ”
"Yes!" Wu Xuexin responded.
After putting down the phone, Wu Xuexin turned his gaze to Kaiyuan, and then couldn't help nodding, secretly saying that Zhang Chi and the troops under his command really had a hand, and the construction of an airstrip in Kaiyuan could be said to be just right.
Then Wu Xuexin thought again...... If Zhang Chi is right, does that mean that he is wrong or playing too conservatively?!
Thinking of this, Wu Xuexin couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said to himself: "I don't know...... Is this a newborn calf that is not afraid of the tiger or is the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave......"
