"Alas! Pu Fang, although you spoke quite comprehensively and took into account the interests of our department, you did not fully consider the details. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse! Zhang Fakui is the founder of the 'Iron Army' after all.
You only need to think about the fact that the "Zhu Mao Red Army" was named the Fourth Army after joining forces, and that the Red Army in Western Hunan and Hubei led by He Huzi was also named the Fourth Army, to know how great the influence of the "Iron Army" was in the past.
Although the Fourth Division under Zhang Fakui has changed a few times now, and its past glory is long gone, it still has combat effectiveness. There is also a saying that a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry. If pressed hard, it will bite people even if it fights to the death! Don't look at General Zhang Hongluan's three abilities
The offensive power of each division, but the third division formed by local troops has just completed its training, and its combat effectiveness and fighting style need to be tested urgently. The first and second instructor divisions are all new recruits, and the second instructor division is still fully trained.
They are composed of new recruits from Henan and Shaanxi. Although they have undergone nearly three months of recruit training, they may find it difficult to adapt to the water network swamp areas in the south. Marching will probably be a big problem, let alone being dragged up to fight.
Therefore, from the analysis of the formation of troops, General Zhang Hongluan's meaning is already very clear. As long as you get a little benefit from a bite, there is no need to risk your bones and muscles to fight to the death. This boosts morale and confidence.
The establishment of an army is very important. If the newly formed army is defeated in the first battle, it will be difficult to get rid of the shadow in the hearts of the soldiers. Even if they are determined to attack with all their strength, winning will probably be a disastrous victory. If they lose,
Not to mention, the gain outweighs the loss!
Senior Zhang Hongluan's cautious and cautious attitude of knowing one's enemies and knowing one's self is worth learning from. In the future, you will always go out to lead troops, and you cannot stay with me as a staff officer for the rest of your life. So now you must learn from the strengths of others. You
Think about it again, if you were to command three divisions, how would you fight..." An Yi analyzed in detail.
"Thank you, Master, for the heads up!"
Shi Pufang nodded gratefully and looked at the huge military map with all his concentration, but he had mixed feelings and anxiety in his heart. He was very grateful to An Yi for his trust and promotion, and for An Yi's long-term selfless teaching and inspiration to him.
He grew up from a small battalion staff officer to the level where he can formulate operational plans for several divisions today. Many times, Shi Pufang could not help but treat An Yi as his own brother. However, the differences in their beliefs were like a line of sight.
There was a huge gap between the two of them. Many times, Shi Pufang was moved and almost couldn't help but confess his identity to An Yi. However, the strict organizational discipline and the important mission he shouldered had already been engraved in his heart.
In his mind, he was always reminded to strengthen his faith, adhere to his principles, not to be emotional, and not to forget the heavy responsibility he shouldered. Therefore, Shi Pufang was in great pain in his heart, and he silently warned himself to bear all this with strength.
Even if your spirit breaks down in the next second, you must grit your teeth and persevere until the end of this second.
At this moment, Shi Pufang stared blankly at Cili on the map, feeling extremely anxious. He didn't know what An Yi meant by suddenly using the Red Army to replace Zhang Fakui. Could it be a hint to him? At the same time, he also
Commander He was worried, worried for Director Zhou (Zhou Yiqun), worried for Chief of Staff Duan and all the brothers of the Second Red Army. Due to the sudden appearance of the Red Army, An Yi temporarily changed the battle plan and withdrew from Cili 44
The defenders of the 12th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Army meant that Cili was given up, leaving it to Zhang Fakui's 4th Division, who was exhausted from the continuous march, Fan Shisheng's troops who were pursuing with anger, and the sudden appearance of the Second Red Army to fight with each other.
, which made the fishermen of Zhang Hongluan tribe benefit from the oriole behind.
In this upcoming battle, without the coordinated attack of Zhang Hongluan's three divisions, not only the future of the more than 7,000 members of Fan Shisheng's troops is in doubt, but the brothers of the Second Red Army who have not yet understood the changes and plan to take advantage of the chaos to attack are also very likely to encounter the second The powerful counterattack of the Fourth Division caused huge losses. How could Shi Pu's heart not be set on fire by such a critical prospect?
Shi Pufang quietly turned his head and found that An Yi was no longer beside him. He quickly glanced at the more than ten colleagues working nervously in the command room. He gritted his teeth and strode out of the main door. He saw An Yi and his adjutant Shen from a distance. Feng Dao, division commander Yin Jinan was walking in the camp, chatting cheerfully from time to time, obviously discussing something. Shi Pufang calmed down for a while, raised his wrist to look at his watch and saw that it was time to get off work, then strode towards the guard battalion commander who was on standby. He said a few words with a relaxed smile, and soon got the key to the backup vehicle, got into the car, started the car with a calm look, and slowly drove out of the camp gate, walked around the pier, stopped, and chatted with the military police battalion commander for a while. Then he asked about military affairs and got in the car again to leave.
Ten minutes later, after circling several times, Shi Pufang finally came to the grocery store on the main street and stopped her car. She got out generously and greeted the young and beautiful proprietress loudly: "The proprietress's business is good! Haha. !”
Hearing Shi Pufang's voice, the proprietress was slightly startled, and a dignified look flashed on her flawless face. She quickly adjusted her mentality, turned to Shi Pufang, smiled, and handed two bottles of wine to the customers next to her. , and poured half a kilogram of kerosene into a little girl's bottle. After changing the money, he picked up a towel and wiped his hands, and said with an attentive smile: "Chief Shi is an honored guest! Haha... Chief Shi, what do you want? ?”
"Bring me two packs of Yunnan Chongjiu cigarettes. These cigarettes are good. I'm addicted to smoking." Shi Pufang took out the money and handed it over with a smile, and glanced around alertly from the corner of his eye.
The landlady took the money and lowered her voice: "Pu Fang, you have violated discipline twice and will be punished!"
"Deputy Secretary Qin, the military situation is urgent. I really can't take care of that much anymore. Just punish me! Please send a report to Director Zhou immediately to stop the attack on Cili. The 44th Army has withdrawn on its own initiative. More than 3,000 of us can't defeat it. Zhang Fakui has 20,000 people, there will be big problems!" Shi Pufang took the cigarette and laughed loudly: "Thank you! Haha, let's go!"
The proprietress watched Shi Pufang drive away with a smile, quickly glanced at the movement on the street, apologetically told the customers who came in to wait a moment, went into the inner room and asked her old father to help sell goods, but she quickly climbed up to the backyard attic, and from there The telegraph machine was quickly removed from the dusty cabinet in the corner of the room.
Diagonally across from the grocery store, a beggar in ragged clothes and a dirty face took one last look at the old man selling goods in the store. He stood up slowly, hugged the tattered mat, and walked hard to the east alley. In the criss-crossing narrow alleys After hitting a few turns, he suddenly jumped up, over a two-meter-high wall in an instant, and when he landed, he had already entered the 16th Division Special Forces Brigade barracks.
