"Report to the deputy commander, the army commander! A pass appeared ahead, and a large number of Japanese troops and puppet troops were stationed. If you want to get out of Henan, you have to go through there! ”

The marching procession suddenly stopped, and when it was strange in Gaodong, a herald suddenly came to report.

"Which unit is opening the way ahead?" Gao Dong immediately asked.

"It's the second division!"

"Call them the division commander here!" Gao Dong sat back in the car and ordered: "The whole army camps on the spot and waits for the order to attack next!" ”

Soon, a quiet man arrived at the temporary headquarters that had just been set up.

"Report!" Wu Hua, the acting commander of the Second Division, stood outside the camp tent of the headquarters and shouted loudly, his waist was straight, and he was full of respect for this camp tent.

He graduated from the Soviet Military Academy and received military training in the Soviet Union as a whole. Especially for his own superiors, even if he is only a higher level, he has great respect, not to mention that in this camp, there are Gao Dong and Hu Xinghan whom he admires very much, they are two proud sons who have won countless battles.

"Yo, why is Senior Commander Wu so polite?" Lin Yue has been waiting for Wu Hua outside the tent, since Duan Yi and Duan Er left, she has faintly become Gao Dong's personal bodyguard. The self-evident relationship between the two often makes people think of her as Gao Dong's fiancée.

"Report, I'm just the deputy division commander, and the division commander is recuperating. When he comes back, I will honestly be his deputy. Our division commander is also a hero! Wu Hua spoke very sincerely, even in the face of a beautiful woman like Lin Yue, who every man would be tempted by, he did not squint, and was as cold as a steel plate without any cracks.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you, let's go inside, your deputy commander is waiting for you!" Lin Yue smiled and lifted the tent and opened his mouth towards Nunu in the tent.

As soon as Wu Hua walked into the headquarters, Gao Dong raised his head from the front of the combat map and said with a smile: "Wu Hua, come here and tell us, what is the situation ahead?" ”

Wu Hua first saluted the two of them, his body did not move, but stood straight in place and said loudly: "Report to the deputy commander, comrade army commander." Our 2nd Division was responsible for opening the way, and on the way we happened to encounter the cavalry unit of Brigade Commander Li. Brigade Commander Li told me that there was a pass 15 kilometers ahead, and it was firmly held by the Japanese and puppet troops. He has led his troops to attack for two nights in a row, wounding many enemies, but he has never found a flaw! ”

Gao Dong smiled and said to Hu Xinghan: "The pass we encountered should be here!" Gao Dong's finger immediately pressed on a place on the combat map, which was the junction of Henan and Shaanxi.

"yes, this is it. It has been around for a long time, since the time of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was to prevent the displaced people from fleeing from Shaanxi to Henan, but now it has become a roadblock for the devils to prevent us from going to Shaanxi. Hu Xinghan was born in a scholarly family and is familiar with history, so he naturally has some understanding of these allusions.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters made the people struggling to make a living. There was a once-in-a-century drought in Shaanxi, and countless people were starved to death.

In order to survive, many people united to rebel, just to beg for a bite to eat.

At that time, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty government was dark, and all the disaster relief money sown by the imperial court was exploited by corrupt officials, and there was not even a dime in the hands of the people.

But in order to prevent the people from rebelling, the officials worked together. Passes were built everywhere to prevent the displaced people from escaping, and then the officers and soldiers were organized to adopt a policy of massacring the displaced people.

Unexpectedly, the pass that blocked the escape of the displaced people was left to this day, and it was slightly repaired by the Japanese, but it became a barrier to prevent the independence army from recovering the whole of Shaanxi, which can't help but make people feel very ridiculous. If the old ancestor knew that they had done such a lack of virtue, it is estimated that they would also be angry.

"How many troops are there in the devil and the puppet army?" Gao Dong continued to ask.

Wu Hua hurriedly took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Hu Xinghan: "This is the pass map drawn by Brigade Commander Li in the past two days, and there is a clear firepower standard and defense map of the devil on it!" ”

Hu Xinghan immediately unfolded it, spread it on the table, and studied it carefully with Gao Dong.

After a while, Gao Dong smiled faintly and said, "Don't look at Li Haolin who is usually a rough person, but if he is careful, few people can catch up." If you look at the location of the fire on these maps, it's as if he's seen it with his own eyes. ”

"Brigade Commander Li has seen it with his own eyes, so he can mark it so clearly!"

At that moment, Wu Hua explained how Li Haolin led his troops to attack the Japanese camp in the dark of night, and then observed the enemy's firepower points and troop deployment.

Gao Dong laughed: "Li Haolin, Li Haolin, if you were born in ancient times, you must be a famous general on horseback." It's my greatest blessing that I asked you to come over from Xiong Wenqing! ”

Hu Xinghan frowned, pointed to the map and said, "According to Li Haolin's description, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Japanese army held the front pass, and the puppet army controlled the high ground on both sides. By erecting a heavy machine gun at a commanding height, it is possible to form a three-sided sealing effect on the pass. And, most likely, they also have a lot of hidden firepower! ”

Hu Xinghan pointed his finger at the suspicious position on the two high ground in the pass: "If it is here, here, and here have been hollowed out by devils and built into a dark fortress." Even if we open this passage, we will suffer a frantic sniping on both sides of the high ground. At that time, as long as we are defeated and retreated, the devil can quickly fill the gap and let us work in vain for a while! ”

Gao Dong nodded, having fought with the devil for such a long time, he knew that if the devil was facing a strong enemy, especially when they were on the defensive side, what he liked most was to dig all kinds of hidden forts.

This kind of bunker is very annoying, and it is not obvious at all in normal times, even if the troops attack the front, if the devil's position is not very dangerous, these bunkers will not be exposed.

The devils were very calm and waited until their positions were captured and a large number of enemies rushed to their positions. These bunkers will suddenly open fire, taking their attacking enemies by surprise and eventually having to retreat with heavy casualties.

"It's a tricky problem!" Gao Dong pondered for a moment: "But we are not sure if there will be a dark castle, you see how it is." I'll send a team of Sky Wolves to secretly sneak into the high ground on both sides while our large forces are attacking, and if they have a dark bunker, they will be eliminated immediately! ”

"Deputy Commander, can I tell me what I suggest?" Wu Hua, who had been listening silently, said suddenly.

Hu Xinghan and Gao Dong raised their heads at the same time, and when the two of them were discussing, few people interrupted their conversations. Wu Hua is the first.

Looking at Wu Hua, who was full of firmness and had no selfishness, Gao Dong smiled and nodded: "It's okay, speak freely, and say anything good about it!" We, but the democratic troops, brainstorming is what we need! ”

Wu Hua said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I think that in the case of sufficient logistics and supply lines of our army, in the face of the tightly guarded passes of the Japanese army, it is really an irrational behavior to use the old infantry attack plan. Not only will it delay the battle, but it will also cause a lot of unnecessary casualties! ”

Hu Xinghan and Gao Dong glanced at each other, what they just thought was to charge the infantry.

Hu Xinghan asked in surprise: "If the infantry doesn't charge, how can they take the pass?" The devil won't let us go on his own, will he? ”

Wu Hua immediately said: "We have artillery!" The artillery divisions and the artillery pieces carried by the divisions themselves combined with thousands of guns, of all calibers. If we compare our firepower at the moment with any Japanese army, we will have an overwhelming advantage. ”

"The terrain of the Japanese Pass is very narrow, with two high slopes connecting the mountainous area, and the diameter of the strip that can pass through it is no more than four kilometers. In such a zone, the Japanese army and the puppet army were placed on the same target, and the artillery could attack their positions at will, so as to achieve the strategic purpose of destroying the Japanese army. ”

Wu Hua said slowly: "In the past, we would take into account the shortage of logistics supply lines when we were fighting, and we didn't have a large number of trucks to loosen ammunition, so the soldiers could only carry a certain amount of ammunition by themselves and wait for the rear to use mules and horses to loosen ammunition for us. ”

But this time it was different, the deputy commander had the foresight to open up a safe transportation line. Our rear can be described as a piece of peace, whether it is the puppet army or the Japanese army, for the time being, they will not and dare not attack our logistics supply line. Under such conditions, it would be unwise to allow the soldiers to charge at the risk of death without using artillery, and it would be a disregard for the lives of all soldiers. ”

Wu Hua's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became more and more intense, and after he finished the last sentence, he even gasped slightly. It is conceivable how much strength he used to finish what he had just said.

Hu Xinghan and Gao Dong looked at each other, both of them were military commanders who had been fighting devils for several years. Gao Dong is a special forces soldier who has mastered modern military skills and fully understands the importance of coordinated operations. Unexpectedly, today, the two of them were actually taught a lesson by an offspring boy.

Wu Hua blushed, but his eyes looked firmly ahead, as if even if he was punished for these words, as long as he could say what was in his heart, he would let it go.

"Good!" After a long time, Gao Dong shouted: "That's really good! ”

Gao Dong walked up to Wu Hua in a few steps, looked appreciative, patted him on the shoulder and said, "To have an officer like you who considers the overall situation and can also take care of the lives of soldiers, our independent army is still very lacking." ”

Gao Dong smiled and turned back to Hu Xinghan and said: "If Yang Fei comes over, he will definitely not say a word, the first one is to take his sharp knife master to fight a battle of storms, where is he thinking so much." ”

Hu Xinghan's originally straight face couldn't help but smile slightly, and when he thought of Yang Fei, the commander of the first division who was like a fierce Zhang Fei, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"Your suggestion is good!" Gao Dong said to Wu Hua appreciatively: "If I let you be the commander-in-chief of this battle, are you sure of winning?" ”

"Give me a day to ensure the completion of the combat mission!" Wu Hua's waist straightened even more, and his eyes flashed with incomparably fanatical admiration for Gao Dong.

After all, a commander who decides the direction of the battlefield rarely listens to the opinions of his subordinates like Gao Dong.

At least, very few in this day and age!
