Cao Yafan insisted that the Japanese army in front of him should wait until the anti-coalition troops in the back rushed over. At least wait until the main artillery force comes up and can get more fire cover, and then carry out a general attack. In order to avoid greater casualties in the continuous fighting of this part of the army.

However, the brigade commander who advanced into the army resolutely advocated launching a general offensive on the whole front in advance, striving to solve the Japanese army in front of him in one go. Because he is well aware that if once the battle is dragged out until dark. With the Japanese army's ability to fight at night, in such a vast mountainous area, it is likely to give the Japanese army a chance to break through.

He believed that his troops were indeed strong in night warfare, but the Japanese army was even more capable in night warfare. Years of experience on the battlefield in North China made him attach great importance to the Japanese army's ability to fight at night. He believed that if they waited until dark, then the Japanese army would most likely take advantage of the weakness of the entire encirclement that had been tested by the daytime breakthrough and use their advantage in night battles to break through.

And his encirclement, because the strength of only two battalions is very weak. At the beginning, he only controlled the commanding heights around the entire battlefield, and did not have the idea of encirclement. The formation of the encirclement is formed with the change of the battlefield. Due to the number of troops, there is almost no depth around the perimeter of this encirclement.

That is, the whole encirclement is a thin-skinned bun with a large filling. Once the Japanese broke through the first line of defense, it was equivalent to opening a gap in the encirclement. In the case of obstruction of vision at night, it is very likely that the Japanese army will open the gap and slip away.

Even if the Anti-Japanese Union replenishes some of the flares for its own troops, the number of flares is limited, and it is impossible to completely guarantee the illumination of the battlefield. Rather than letting this part of the Japanese army run away, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the current Japanese army to try to hold on to launch a general attack, at least to divide the remaining Japanese forces.

Although his own strength was only two battalions, he mainly relied on firepower to fight the Japanese in previous battles. The number of casualties in the army as a whole is not very high. Although there were some casualties, the unit was completely organized, and its vitality and backbone were still there. If you launch a total attack, you can win the game in one fell swoop.

Moreover, this brigade commander resolutely opposes the resistance to taking over the battle. It is resolutely demanded that this war be borne by its own troops. In the opinion of the brigade commander, Cao Yafan has made so many problems, in the final analysis, he still has to grab food from his own bowl. In their bones, some people look down on their own troops.

The two quarreled for a long time, but they did not quarrel and came out with a result. But the next battle did not develop with the two of them. Just when the two of them were at a stalemate because of the next battle plan, the battle situation on the entire Jianping battlefield underwent a big change.

The Japanese troops in Jianping Castle, who had been staying in the city honestly, suddenly attacked south with a force in the early morning of this morning. After a regiment of the advancing army besieging the city, attention was drawn to the past. The three squadrons of the main force, plus one machine gun squadron, tore through the defenses of two companies of the army from the southwest of Jianping City, and forcibly broke through to the front line of Jiajiayingzi.

was a little paralyzed by the Japanese army's previous behavior of staying in the city, and the commander of the advancing corps was a little paralyzed. After discovering that the main force of the Japanese army suddenly broke through to the northeast, he had little strength left, and he only grabbed some tails of the Japanese army in a hurry, but let the main force of the Japanese army run away.

Although an infantry squadron, a machine gun squad, and two squadrons of the Jianping puppet police that broke through to the south surrounded the Gushanzi line south of Jianping County, the main force of the Japanese army in Jianping City was allowed to escape. Although he barely managed to gather a battalion, he was desperately blocked by the Japanese army's troops and intercepted on the front line of Wollongong.

Faced with the change in the tide of battle, the two people who were arguing with red faces stopped arguing in unison. The brigade commander who advanced into the army immediately ordered him to be transferred to the south of Shijiazi Nangou to form a battalion of the first line of Damaigou to attack and advance to the first line of Jiajiayingzi. At all costs, immediately block this Japanese army on the front line of Jiajiaying.

Cao Yafan immediately mobilized all the troops that had completed the combat mission from the Wei family's shack to the front line of Shijiazi's Nangou, and immediately went straight to the front line of Jiajia's camp, and cooperated with a battalion of the advancing army that was advancing there, so as to completely complete the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army that broke through the siege of Jianping City. But on the battlefield of Shijiazi Nangou, he still resolutely opposed launching a general attack right now.

Even if this Japanese army has already entered the Nangou battlefield from Shijiazi, the straight-line distance is already close to the front line of Jiajiayingzi. He still demanded that on the battlefield from Damaigou to Shijiazinangou, he should fight steadily and steadily, and not rush to launch a general attack because of the sudden change in the battle situation.

The Japanese troops who withdrew to the front line of Jiajiayingzi were only the formation of a brigade, and their total number of troops was limited, even if they had already entered the front line of Jiajiayingzi, it was not a big deal. As long as the battalion of the advancing army can arrive in time to plug the gap, the Japanese troops in this division will not have much impact on the battle situation on the front line of Damaigou.

If you eat the enemy on the front line of Damaigou, then the whole battlefield will be decided. The enemy on the front line of the Jia family's camp has become a lone army. When the time comes, they can be dealt with in an orderly and thorough manner. The remnants of the Japanese army on the battlefield west of Luofugou will be completely cut off, but Cao Yafan's starting point is good, but the way he proposed to solve the problem is a little inappropriate. His offer to wait for his follow-up troops to come up and take over the general attack made the brigade commander who advanced extremely angry, and it was also the key to the whole estrangement.

In addition, Cao Yafan himself is not good at words, and some words are difficult to say very thoroughly. So in this matter, the difference between the two people is not a tactical problem, the core is the brigade commander who advanced into the army, resolutely opposing the anti-coalition forces, mainly Cao Yafan's troops, and taking over half of the battlefield that he has already fought. This question is where the real difference between the two people lies.

And the troops that advanced into the army, especially one regiment commander and two battalion commanders on the Damaigou front, were even more angry at Cao Yafan's actions. It's just that out of consideration between superiors and subordinates, there is no surface. But almost everyone's face showed obvious anger.

Neither of the two stubborn people could convince anyone, but the development of the battle situation could not wait for the two of them to quarrel with a result. With Cao Yafan's subordinates, they completed the encirclement and annihilation of the divided Japanese army, and rushed to the front-line battlefield of Shijiazi Nangou one after another. The turn of the tide of the war became more and more unfavorable for the Japanese army.

And as time went by, as the anti-coalition troops who surrounded and annihilated the Japanese troops in the back arrived one after another, the face of the brigade commander who advanced into the army became more and more unsightly. He thought that Cao Yafan forcibly put his hand into his bowl to remove the largest piece of fat in his bowl.

Everyone is a soldier, and they all value the honor of a soldier. Cao Yafan, who was not good at words and had some inexplicable explanations, thought that this was more reasonable, which made the brigade commander of the advance army surprisingly disgusted and angry. The more Cao Yafan spoke, the more he refused to give up his position. It's just that in the face of Cao Yafan, who insisted on taking over the battlefield by the Anti-Japanese Union, he was bitter and couldn't say it.

Before the war, it was agreed that Li Mingfeng was responsible for the command of the entire western Liaoning battlefield. On the local battlefield of Jianping, all front-line combat commands were commanded by Cao Yafan. Whether it is the advance army or all the troops participating in the Jianping battlefield of the Anti-Japanese Federation, they must be under the command of Cao Yafan. This was formulated long ago at the operational meeting of the two armies.

Long before accepting the task and starting the battle in western Liaoning, we took into account the coordination of the command of the local battlefield between the two units of different formations participating in the entire battlefield when it was necessary to cooperate. Li Mingfeng once made a special call to the two bosses of the advance army to ask for instructions on command issues on the local battlefield.

The two bosses called back at that time, and the commanders of the brigade level who advanced to this battle were mainly studying. Command on the local battlefield is the responsibility of the commander at the level of the anti-coalition division. The two brigades that advanced into the war obeyed the command of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, no matter what battlefield they were on. And this brigade commander, in order to be able to catch the battle, also spit on a nail to express his resolute obedience to the order.

Therefore, according to the command authority of the original agreement, it stands to reason that he should obey Cao Yafan's command and implement Cao Yafan's plan according to it. But now let him let the Shijiazi Nangou battlefield out, where can he be willing? Everyone is a brother army under one banner, why should the meat in their own bowl be given to others?

Arbitrariness and stretching out his hand too long, this kind of somewhat radical rhetoric came out, which was enough to show the anger in the heart of the brigade commander who advanced into the army. If it weren't for the presence of the two political commissars and forcibly suppressing the scene, I'm afraid that what this brigade commander said would have been even more excessive.

Looking at the two people who were in a stalemate in front of them, the two political commissars who were finally old comrades-in-arms during the Red Army period came forward to mediate. After consulting Li Mingfeng, the final decision was made that the battle was fought by the advance troops. Cao Yafan was not interfering in the command of the Shijiazi Nangou battlefield, and the brigade commander of the Advance Army was fully responsible.

But considering that on the Shijiazi Nangou battlefield, the advance army had only two battalions of troops. The Anti-Japanese Union transferred a battalion that had already completed the assembly on the front line of Shijiazi, as well as some artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns that remained. As a reserve on the battlefield of Shijiazi Nangou, and provide fire support for as many troops as possible to advance into the battle.

However, in the specific operations of this battle, the troops advancing into the army had to fight according to Cao Yafan's plan. Try not to fight white-knuckle battles as much as possible to avoid the recurrence of the white-knuckle battle on the front line of the ten families. In the words of the two political commissars, it is necessary to keep those old bones as much as possible and prepare for the great development of the army in the future.

Neither of the two military commanders concerned was very satisfied with this obviously somewhat muddy battle plan. But Li Mingfeng's tough wording on the telegram made both of them obedient. Military orders are like mountains, orders are orders, and there is nothing to bargain about. So even if they were not satisfied, both of them accepted it.

However, although Li Mingfeng said that the tone of the telegram to the two was relatively relaxed, in the subsequent telegram to Cao Yafan alone, he was not so angry. Regarding Cao Yafan's interference in the tactical command of the advance army, he gave his old superior quite severe criticism.

Li Mingfeng directly told Cao Yafan that as the supreme commander of the entire Jianping battlefield, he should focus on the entire battle situation, rather than being too entangled in a certain local battlefield. It is true that the General Headquarters has always been worried that the advance army will suffer too many casualties and will hurt its vitality, so before the war, it made certain restrictions on the use of the advance army troops on the battlefield in western Liaoning.

But the advance army is a force that will be pulled into battle at any time, not a good baby in the mother's arms. We should not hesitate to use it because we are afraid that there will be large casualties in the advance army. If the timing is right, be sure to let go when it's time to let go in command. Besides, the brigade commander of the family also fought in one battle after another, and his actual combat experience was not bad there.

Without experiencing actual combat training, how can the troops advancing into the army be promoted and transformed in a short period of time? How to test the results of training last winter and this spring? Especially if you let your troops take over the battlefield, aren't you showing your distrust of others?
