Wang Husheng stood up and said, "Old Xu, please don't get excited. Calm down first."
"I'm very calm now." Xu Rui waved his hand, looked around at everyone and said, "Do you think I'm crazy? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
Everyone chooses silence, and silence is acquiescence.
Xu Rui was not angry, and said: "But I will tell you that I am not crazy. I am calmer than ever before. What's more important is that even you think that attacking Feicheng is crazy, so the Japanese must be crazy too." If you think so, you have what is said in the art of war, to catch someone by surprise and attack them unprepared!"
After a short pause, Xu Rui said seriously: "The Japanese must have never imagined that we would dare to attack Feicheng!"
Leng Tiefeng felt that he had to say something. With so many battalion commanders present, Leng Tiefeng was the only one who could barely keep up with Xu Rui's thinking. At that moment, Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, what you said It is indeed very reasonable. The Japanese did not expect us to dare to attack Feicheng. This indeed has the elements of surprise and unpreparedness as mentioned in the art of war, but... "
Xu Rui turned around and looked at Leng Tiefeng with burning eyes, but did not interrupt him like he interrupted Wang Husheng.
Leng Tiefeng continued: "But Sun Tzu also said in the Art of War that taking an enemy by surprise and attacking them unprepared is only a strategy, and has never been a prerequisite for launching a battle. But now you regard this sentence as an attack with extremely different military strength. The prerequisites for urban warfare are putting the cart before the horse."
"Putting the cart before the horse?" Xu Rui asked, "Is it really putting the cart before the horse?"
Leng Tiefeng did not give in and asked, "Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"
"Okay." Xu Rui smiled slightly and said, "Since you insist that this is putting the cart before the horse and insist that attacking Feicheng is not feasible, and I insist that attacking Feicheng is feasible, none of us can convince anyone. So, veteran, I'm afraid We can only follow the old rules and see the outcome on the simulated sand table."
"I'm willing to accompany you!" Leng Tiefeng didn't flinch.
At that moment, the group immediately moved their positions and came to the war room next door.
In the war room, there is only a simulated sand table from Dameishan District, not from Feicheng. However, this is not difficult for Mei Jiuling, Huang Shouxin and other more than a dozen officers from the youth training team who have received systematic modern military education. The youth training team members worked together and quickly simulated the topographic map of Feicheng realistically on the sand table.
Xu Rui placed seven or eight soldier models representing the independent regiment outside Feicheng, and then asked Leng Tiefeng: "What is the most important reason why you insist that attacking Feicheng is not feasible?"
"The difference in military strength is too huge!" Leng Tiefeng directed Mei Jiuling and Huang Shouxin to place dozens of soldier models, dozens of artillery, tanks and aircraft models on the sand table, and then continued, "In addition to the Japs in Feicheng, There are artillery, cavalry, armor, and even aviation. The total strength is at least 20,000! And the number of troops that our independent regiment can pull out to participate in the war is only **100 people. With such a disparity in strength, how can we fight this battle? "
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Yes, there are indeed a small number of 20,000 Japs in Feicheng, but if you break it down, you will find that 20,000 Japs are nothing to fear. In fact, there is only one real Japs among the 20,000 Japs." There are about 6,000 Japs in the brigade. Counting the depot troops and airport guards, the total number is only 10,000. The remaining 10,000 are actually the second Japs of the puppet army's Wannan Garrison Division, not to mention... "
What's more, Xu Rui did not continue.
Leng Tiefeng and others knew the inside story.
However, He Guangming and the others who later joined the Independent Group did not know.
At that moment, He Guangming couldn't help but stood up and asked, "Commander, what's more?"
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "What's more, most of the puppet army's Wannan garrison division are our people!"
"What?"
"Can't you?"
"Is the Wannan Garrison Division of the puppet army one of ours?"
He Guangming, Yao Lei, Gao Chu, and Zhu Chen were stunned at once.
After a long while, He Guangming asked blankly: "Captain, is the Wannan Security Division really one of ours?"
Before Xu Rui could answer, Leng Tiefeng rushed to say: "Only half of the Wannan Security Division can barely be considered our people, and the other half has nothing to do with us at all."
"Veteran, what's going on?" He Guangming asked curiously.
At that moment, the veteran told the story of Nan Batian's defection from the Independent Regiment.
After listening to Leng Tiefeng's explanation of the whole story, He Guangming exclaimed in surprise: "Damn it, so Nan Batian's defection was basically a trap set up by the regiment leader, and he even hid it from the Japanese! Kawaguchi Heiji This old devil didn't know that Nan Batian was actually an undercover agent until he died. Captain, you are so awesome, I admire you!"
Xu Rui chuckled and said that this was just a piece of cake and was really not worth mentioning.
He Guangming turned to Leng Tiefeng again: "But veteran, why do you say that only half of them can barely be considered our people?"
Leng Tiefeng replied: "The puppet army's Wannan Garrison Division was just expanded based on the original Wannan Garrison Brigade. However, this expansion does not mean that all combat units of the original Wannan Garrison Brigade will be promoted to one level, and then the original Wannan Garrison Brigade will be upgraded. It’s as simple as all the officers being promoted to one rank, and an additional security brigade was formed instead.”
He Guangming said: "This means that the newly formed brigade has nothing to do with Nan Batian's security brigade?"
"It has nothing to do with it at all." Leng Tiefeng said, "Although Nan Batian is the nominal commander of the garrison division, he actually cannot command the second brigade at all. This is also the little devil's way of balancing, and the Feicheng garrison brigade The new commander of the regiment, Ryota Adachi, does not trust Nan Baten as much as his predecessor Kawaguchi Heiji."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "It is true that Adachi Ryota does not trust Nan Batian as much as Kawaguchi Heiji, and Nan Batian cannot command Luo Feng's second security brigade. However, you cannot deny that Adachi Ryota does not know that Nan Batian actually He is one of our people, but he has no idea that his First Guard Brigade of the Royal Association Army is actually a time bomb! Once such a super time bomb is suddenly detonated, the destructive power it can produce will be astonishing. .”
Leng Tiefeng said: "But it's still not enough to kill the Japs in Feicheng, right?"
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng continued: "You should all know that the Japanese have always had very strict control over the puppet troops. Unless they go on a mission, they will not release ammunition for the puppet troops at all. Without ammunition, Nan Batian Even if he really has a division, I'm afraid it's just a decoration, and the Japanese can defeat it with just one squadron."
Xu Rui said: "The ammunition problem is not impossible to solve."
Leng Tiefeng said: "It's easy to say. Lao Pumpkin has repeatedly mentioned one thing when he sent information several times. The Japs have very strict control over Feicheng. All personnel and vehicles entering Feicheng must be inspected without exception, and There are soldiers on duty at all checkpoints, how do you bring ammunition in?"
"Bring it in?" Xu Rui asked, "There is plenty of ammunition in Feicheng's arsenal. Why do we have to bring ammunition in from outside? Isn't it easier to get ammunition directly from the Japanese ammunition depot?"
"Get ammunition from the Japanese ammunition depot?" Leng Tiefeng was dumbfounded.
The remaining dozen or so battalion commanders also looked at each other, attacking the arsenal
Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it repeatedly. In order to win the battle of Feicheng, there are two points that must be captured first. One is the Feicheng Arsenal, and the other is the Japanese headquarters! As long as we capture it Feicheng Arsenal, the Japs stationed in Feicheng will immediately become toothless tigers, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened. If we can take away the headquarters of the Feicheng garrison brigade, the Japs will immediately become a group of headless flies. No more worries.”
"It's easier said than done to take down the arsenal and then take down the headquarters?" Leng Tiefeng shook his head.
However, Leng Tiefeng must also admit that if he can really achieve these two points, then this battle can really be fought! Even if Feicheng cannot be taken in the end, the Independent Regiment can still escape intact.
"Hey, let's try it." Xu Rui smiled, immediately picked up a soldier model and pushed it forward into Feicheng, and then continued, "I will send a special force to sneak into Feicheng first, and use the special force to fight against the higher. If you have the ability to go there, you can climb over the wall and sneak in at night, so the little devil’s patrol team won’t be able to notice it at all, is that okay?”
Leng Tiefeng could only stand by the sand table and stare, because according to the rules of the war game, the Japanese army he represented could not react because it could not detect the infiltration of the special forces.
Xu Rui added: "After the special forces sneaked into Feicheng, the first thing they did was to find out the security measures and firepower arrangements of the Japanese arsenal. The second thing was to check out the Japanese headquarters. The last stage of the special team's assessment was against the Pukou Japanese." There is not much difference in the difficulty between infiltration and platooning at the Gendarmerie Headquarters and the dock. With the capabilities of the special operations team, it should be easy to complete these two platooning tasks. You can't deny this as a veteran, right?"
Leng Tiefeng was silent, of course there was no problem with the capabilities of the special forces team. After all, this was just a platoon, not an attack. If the special forces team couldn't even complete such a task, it would be better to take a break as soon as possible.
Xu Rui then said: "Okay, now that the special operations team has figured out the security deployment and firepower configuration of the Japanese arsenal and headquarters, let's first assume that the arsenal's security force is a squadron. In addition to the high-voltage power grid on the wall, the large There are also two machine gun nests welded with steel plates at the door, which are also the standard configuration of the arsenal.”
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "There may be a few hidden firepower points in the arsenal, that's about it. After all, it is in Feicheng where the Japs are heavily stationed. The arsenal's guard strength and security measures are more to deal with small forces." A sneak attack, rather than in response to a strong attack by a large force, veteran, you can't deny this, right?"
"I don't deny it." Leng Tiefeng responded, "But this is just your assumption after all."
"Soon you will know that this is not a hypothesis, but a reasoning based on countless experiences." Xu Rui smiled and continued, "Now let's proceed to the next step of deduction." (To be continued.)
