Chapter 844: Focus Issues
Li Yong, who came to the 346th Regiment, was once again crowned as a superior leader, and he was still the head of the headquarters and a person from the gate of the Great Yamen.
However, the commanders at all levels of the 346th Regiment who came to the meeting did not have any reverence for this so-called superior leader, and as expected, the applause was similar to the situation encountered at the military headquarters of the 39th Army.
Li Yong waved his hand in the strange eyes of everyone: "Comrades, I am not here today as a superior or any leader, but just to attend the meeting. ”
The 39th Army is the main force of the 49th Army, known as the Three Fierce Troops, and the 346th Regiment is also the main force of the 39th Army, with a total strength of more than 4,000 people, high personnel, and excellent weapons and equipment.
In such a unit, the number of a company exceeds 200, the strength of the battalion reaches more than 800, and with sophisticated weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of a regiment of the 346th Regiment is not much worse than that of a brigade of other field armies.
Therefore, every commander of the 346th Regiment is an arrogant master, including the head of Wu Baoguang, who thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and everyone else is a vegetable, and no one takes Li Yong, the so-called superior leader, seriously, hehe, since the head of the family said not to interfere, let's continue the meeting.
No one takes Li Yong as a person, chief? Let's go back and be a leader, we don't have a chief here.
The meeting of the 346th Regiment was held as usual, and although Deputy Division Commander Zhang Feng made an introduction, the people of the 346th Regiment believed that it was not the same as before, and that the so-called higher-level leaders were just staff officers, officers, political workers, and propaganda personnel from the headquarters. To put it bluntly, they are miscellaneous workers, although these people are sent from their superiors, but what they do is just running errands and making soy sauce. It's okay to have them, but it's okay to have not. Calling the chief is just to give the other party, and if you don't call the chief, you won't be able to produce any demon goose, so the people of the 346th regiment just simply exchanged a few words with Li Yong, and then no one paid attention to him, the head of the superior, including the head of the regiment Wu Baoguang, everyone thought so.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the head of the headquarters, Li Yong was also happy to be idle, and gave Li Yuming and a few others a look. Several people sat in a corner of the conference room watching the play.
This is the first time that Li Yong has participated in a military conference from the perspective of a bystander, and it can be regarded as a new experience.
According to his estimation and speculation, Li Yong and the squad were very likely to be a small reconnaissance unit sent by the headquarters, and this can be confirmed from the fact that they were wearing the enemy's uniforms, and following the 346th Regiment was only for the convenience of breaking through, so Deputy Division Commander Zhang quickly got along with the cadres of the 346th Regiment.
The launch time of the attack was just announced by Deputy Division Commander Zhang Feng, at 17 p.m. today. The total attack begins.
The timing of the general attack at 17 p.m. was very particular, because it was dark immediately after the attack was launched, and as soon as it was dark, there was no way for the enemy's planes to take off from the bases and aircraft carriers. The enemy loses air superiority, and we will have a whole night of attack. (A small number of night planes of the US army had little effect on the Great Campaign)
The meeting of the 346th Regiment went very smoothly, because it had been simulated many times before, and the various procedures had already been mastered, and everyone had a good idea of the area that their troops were going to attack and break through, such as the coordination of infantry and artillery, the number of charging waves, the allocation of firepower, and logistical support. Personnel rescue, ammunition transportation. And so on, this qiē is in order.
But there is also an issue that has been debated in the Noble Vault.
The issue at issue was that the tactical terrain that the 346th Regiment was to break through was different from that of other troops. The width of the minefield is about 100 meters, just on our side of the riverbank, and it is estimated that the enemy arranged it when retreating in the second campaign, in order to prevent the volunteers from biting their tails and pursuing the retreating troops.
No one expected that a nonsensical deployment of the enemy at that time would bring a huge threat to the three campaigns that were about to be launched.
That is to say, when the 346th Regiment launched an attack, it first had to pass through the minefield of Guò, then it could reach the river bank, and finally cross the river to attack.
Commander Wu Baoguang was very depressed, damn it, why is there an extra minefield on Lao Tzu's breakthrough line, is it because Lao Tzu's 346th Regiment is a trump card!
There are two main reasons for the controversy: some of the commanders of the 346th Regiment believe that since it is a minefield deployed by the enemy, we should eliminate it as soon as possible, so that the troops can reduce unnecessary casualties when they attack, and the sooner the better.
You must know that once the 346th Regiment exposes itself because of demining, the enemy will be aware of the intentions of the 346th Regiment in advance, and it will also be very sensitive to think that this is the breakthrough point that the Volunteers will attack, and they will use strengthened firepower and troops to blockade it, and in this way, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of the breakthrough of the troops, and will also bring greater casualties.
The meeting lasted nearly two hours, and the 346th Regiment was still arguing endlessly on this issue, with one side believing that it was necessary to clear the mines in advance, even if the target was exposed, because the operation was about to begin at night, and it was too late for the enemy to mobilize troops on a large scale, and the other side held that it was impossible to clear the mines in advance, and exposing the target would cause greater casualties, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
The commanders on both sides argued with red faces and thick necks, and neither side could convince the other side, and in the end, even the deputy division commander Zhang Feng and the regiment commander Wu Baoguang, who presided over the meeting, were in a dilemma, not knowing who to support, because the construction of both sides seemed to be very reasonable.
They argued and argued, but Li Yong and the others in the corner became more and more upset the more they waited, the big war was about to break out, but a regiment-level meeting was open to pimples, and if it continued like this, it would be delayed.
The company commander Li Yuming, who was sitting on Li Yong's side, couldn't help it, this guy stretched his waist and yawned, and he was about to put himself to sleep, but no matter what, he was on someone else's territory, and he couldn't be too presumptuous, even if he was dissatisfied, he had to hold back, however, Li Yuming looked at the cadres of the 346th Regiment who were arguing back and forth, and rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
"Brigade commander, you go out and get them a Jianyi, or I will fall asleep when this will be the end."
He Cuihua, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, also interjected: "Yes, yes, brigade commander, I still have to make your move, you look at them, isn't it just a minefield, what's the big deal." ”
Li Yuming and He Cuihua didn't talk loudly, but the people in the room heard it, and the shelter suddenly became quiet, and the people in the room were all the fighting backbones of the 346th Regiment, and no one thought that they were a bad seed, and everyone looked at them with unkind eyes.
What's up? A chief who claims to be down from above looks down on them? That's easy to do, just ask the chief to give us instructions for construction!
Li Yong glared at Li Yuming and He Cuihua, coughed a few times and said, "Hehe, everyone continue, don't take what the two of them say seriously, we are just passing by to make soy sauce, and you still have to take it yourself." ”
Wu Baoguang served as the commander of the 346th Regiment for several years, and he also fought very good battles and was highly valued by his superiors, so the superiors handed over the most important attack area to the 346th Regiment.
The commanders of the main regiment were all guys with very good brains, but he heard Li Yuming and He Cuihua call Li Yong - brigade commander.
Brigade? This name is very strange, there is no brigade-level troop establishment in the troops of Siye entering the DPRK at all, where did the brigade commander run out? However, the one who can be called a brigade commander must be the commander of a combat unit, and it cannot be any staff officer, political worker, or propaganda personnel sent by his superiors in the past.
Wu Baoguang, who had a very flexible head, turned around and said to Li Yong: "Comrade Chief, if you have a good idea, you can bring it up to us, and our 346th Regiment will definitely accept it with an open mind, and accept your criticism if you have done something wrong." ”
Li Yong thought about it, don't be hypocritical at this time, no matter what eyes the people of the 346th Regiment look at themselves, they are all their own comrades, and there is nothing wrong with them, and if there is a good building, they must be taken out.
Standing up slowly, Li Yong looked at the commanders of the 346th Regiment around him with bright eyes, as if he had returned to his command headquarters in the Independent Brigade:
"The minefield must be cleared before the troops launch an attack, otherwise we soldiers will have to use their bodies to go away, but I don't build a mine clearance in advance, which will expose the intentions of our troops in advance, which is very undesirable, my advice is to start when our troops are preparing for artillery fire on the enemy, and use the gap between artillery bombardment to remove all the mines, so that the mines can be eliminated, and there is no need to expose the target, the question is, what is the ability of your 346th Regiment to clear mines, and whether you can complete the task when our army's artillery fire is ready."
Li Yong got to the point in a few words: Mines must be removed, but it is best to start when our artillery fire is bombarding the enemy's positions on the other side of the river, so that the mines can be removed without being discovered by the enemy, which is a good way to kill two birds with one stone, but the question is not impossible, whether the 346th Regiment can clear the minefield in the limited time that our artillery is ready for artillery fire.
