Chapter 657 The big event of the country, how can it be simple

On the hillside facing the sun in the south of Waizhifang Village, Guining Town.

The strange-looking Catholic Church stands in a jujube forest.

The mottled stone rammed earth wall around the church has a trapezoidal cross-section. The outer wall more than five meters high is almost vertical to the ground, and the top is two meters thick.

"This is the wall and arrow pile built by the village to prevent bandits in the early days of cold weapons."

Master Li said it was something, so he sent his adjutant to take Hu Yi and his party to walk on the wall outside his division command headquarters to see the defense of the station.

The positions and fortifications, trenches, bunkers, and firepower points outside the wall are all the same and there is no secret at all.

Hu Yi and Minister Zhang followed behind the adjutant, and Minister Zhang said thoughtfully, "I never thought there would be such a large area of ​​Western-style buildings here."

The adjutant seemed to be concerned, and frowned and introduced: "This is a Catholic church built in the late Qing Dynasty. It is quite old. It was first built outside the village. Later, with the changes of the times, the village and the church have long been integrated together.

Hu Yi looked up at the church on the hillside and asked the adjutant, "Is your division headquarters located here?"

The adjutant participated in yesterday's sand table duel, and suddenly smiled: "Look at the layout of our division commander? Even if you call in armored troops, it is still a dream to raid our headquarters!"

Hu Yi looked at the walls of houses built of rubbish and mud in the village, and there were shooting holes everywhere, and the roads in the village were almost completely cut off, and wooden boards were temporarily paved for the passage of soldiers changing defenses.

Outside the wall, trenches criss-crossed, and bunkers, firepower points, and regiment-level headquarters were camouflaged, appearing like graves on the hillside.

Allied soldiers are laying soil on the real and false firepower points exposed on the ground as a camouflage, and the half-deep traffic trench is full of people, and they are patting the piles of soil on both sides.

In the sand table discussion yesterday afternoon, Hu Yi first represented the Japanese army to attack and was defeated, and finally represented the national army to defend.

But in terms of military theory exchanges in the evening, Minister Zhang is actually trying to win the round, and the two sides are currently evenly divided.

Hu Yi was not discouraged by this, a company commander went to compete with other division commanders, he was able to last two rounds of offense and defense until dark, and he was lucky not to lose face on the spot.

In the eyes of the adjutant, Hu Yi, the staff officer, was just a stick.

Although Hu Yi should have attended a military academy, it is a pity that his major is not command, otherwise he would not even know the basic theory of large corps operations.

However, this guerrilla Eighth Route Army's firepower arrangement is really good, and the level of the company and platoon leaders in the division is much higher~
Strategic command is not as good as others, which opened Hu Yi's eyes. For the first time, he saw the high-level commander's unconstrained thinking. He considered all aspects of the situation comprehensively. There are ways to deal with the situation, and the way to advance and retreat on the battlefield is used with great proficiency.

Obviously, the adjutant in front of him is most interested in the use of guerrilla tactics by small units in the Eighth Route Army.

Hu Yi was annoyed: "Your style of combining guerrilla warfare with positional warfare is quite new!"

The adjutant didn't take it seriously, and smiled: "After all, this is a mountainous area, the road has been dug, and the devil cannot attack quickly. If there are few people coming, you can fight him with the perfect fortifications here, and you don't have to be afraid of him at all.

If the devils really mobilize the army of several divisions to attack, our troops don't need to stand firm, and can directly retreat into the mountains. This is also the essence of the guerrilla you advocate when the enemy advances and retreats, and you retreat and pursue!
What's more, the devils don't have that much force now, even if he really mobilizes a large number of troops from the occupied area to attack, the occupied area will inevitably be empty, and our ministries south of the Yellow River can even cross the river north and regain lost ground! "

Hu Yi's black face was slightly red, and he was a little dazed. He asked a small question by himself, and the person in front of him actually got involved in strategy again.

From the looks of it, I have been working as a dojo in the screw shell, so I really can't stand on the stage.

The adjutant estimated that he rarely encountered such a person as Hu Yi, so he continued with a bit of a show: "Our department is currently adopting a typical positional warfare defense mode. The 27th Army is stuck on the traffic arteries from the south of Shanxi to the north of Henan. The Japanese troops in the east only need to If he can't take my position, he can't go south with confidence, their backs are always within the attack range of our department, and they can cut off his supply line at any time, so the devil must pass our hurdle first when he goes south."

Hu Yi was speechless.

Everyone circled the city wall for half a circle, but the adjutant did not invite Hu Yi and his party into the village.

Obviously, the internal military arrangement really involves friendly military secrets.

It doesn't make much sense to look outside.

Hu Yi always felt that something was wrong.

The National Army, the Central Army, the Jinni Army, Commander Pang’s miscellaneous troops stationed in this area, and the Eighth Route Army in the mountains did not get along well with each other. Army together with the Eighth Route Army to create friction, and even fight.

Minister Zhang turned around suddenly, and whispered to Hu Yi who was beside him, "Take someone away for a while, I have something to talk to this adjutant."

"Okay!" After Hu Yi finished speaking, he stepped on the arrow stack, pretending to wear leggings, and slowly fell behind a few steps.

Minister Zhang took two quick steps, followed the adjutant in front, and said something irrelevant to communication without asking any questions: "I think the atmosphere here is a bit weird!"

The adjutant frowned: "Instructor Zhang, I have an explanation from my superiors. If you have something to say, just say it. We are all soldiers, but it doesn't matter."

Minister Zhang pondered for a moment: "After the Anti-Japanese War began, this was originally the site of Chief Yan. The Jin army had always had conflicts with the Chongqing one. Later, we united in the war of resistance and we came here to establish a base. But two years ago, the Central Army suddenly sent troops. Occupied this area, and massacred our Eighth Route soldiers and civilians, our superiors hope that your ministry can stick to the stand of uniting and resisting the war, and stop collaborating with them, and do things that personally hurt the enemies."

The adjutant pretended to be silly and smiled bitterly: "I don't know why you didn't tell our teacher about this, but you just came to tell me, saying that I can't be the master of this matter!"

Minister Zhang lowered his voice: "If I'm not mistaken, the commander is your father, right? Commander Pang!"

It was no surprise that the adjutant was identified by Minister Zhang: "Yesterday my father said that you should be careful when dealing with you. You are really far-sighted. Let me tell you the truth. There are more than 1 people in the war zone, but the fifth army has added more than 5 people to our group army. What is supplementation? It's not a good day either!"

Minister Zhang knows that there are many eyes and ears in the friendly army, and it is unlikely that the two sides will have the opportunity to meet in private again: "There was no major conflict between you and me before. We have given up the defense area to the east of the Independent Regiment. Your department can , enter the mountain at will."

Commander Pang shook his head: "I will report to the commander that the Central Army has indeed had conflicts with you. Although there have been frictions between us, there is no deep hatred between our half-baked Central Army and you! The current theater requirements My department is fighting guerrillas in the mountains, you can definitely see that I have more than 1 people in this place, which is only more than 100 miles from east to west, north to south, and there is no depth. What kind of guerrilla should I fight? Turn to the north, at that time, I would like to ask for your support."

"Okay, I hope we can cooperate well and beat the devil hard!"

Commander Pang looked at the wishful Instructor Zhang. I have not been defeated. It is difficult for me to go to your place. It is not a little embarrassing: "After the Fifth Army was assigned to our 24th Army, it is more arrogant than us. At present, this is the central government. In the world of the Jin army and the Jinxi army, we foreign motley troops have to follow their winks, Minister Zhang, I have made you a friend, and hope that everyone will work together to defend our home and country in the future."

Minister Zhang immediately understood that the other party was politely rejecting the Eighth Route Army's good intentions, hesitated for a while, and lowered his voice: "We have received top-secret information that the Fifth Army may defect to the enemy, please be careful."

Commander Pang suddenly smiled: "For us, this is not a bad thing. The devils invaded in a large scale, and it is not surprising that they should surrender if they are the first to bear the brunt. In these years, don't we see such people less?"

Minister Zhang said solemnly: "We are upright and aboveboard. Don't think that we are playing tricks, but no matter what, I hope you will be more careful."

"Okay, on behalf of my father, I thank you for coming. There are high-ranking eyeliners in the army. Be careful. I'll take a step first. Master Li will come over later."
