Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

But this time is different.

No matter how many volunteers there are, it is impossible to cover every corner of the peninsula.

For example, now, except for the troops resting north of the [-]th parallel, most of the front-line combat troops are concentrated in the capital of the southern peninsula, which has almost turned the eastern side of the peninsula into a vacuum.

That's why the first cavalry division was able to be stationed safely in the Taibai Mountains, and the support brigade was hidden under the noses of the volunteers without being discovered.

If it is true as Gay revealed, once the enemy launches a counterattack, the volunteers can only fight, thus falling into the enemy's conspiracy and continuing to advance the front south.

The enemy's maneuverability is strong. Even if it takes a detour from the east, it will not take long to surround the volunteers in the southern peninsula. With the advanced equipment of the ground troops and the attack from the air, how much will the volunteers suffer? The loss cannot be estimated at all.

At the same time, the enemy's navy will also launch an attack on the coastline of the peninsula, which will completely delay the progress of the Volunteer Army's support troops, and even prevent the Volunteer Army from sending troops into the southern part of the peninsula.

"This guy MacArthur still has some skills. He wants to separate our army and destroy them one by one. His intentions are vicious!"

For this opponent who has been living behind the scenes, the boss also gave a pertinent evaluation.

"Qiao Lin, if it were you and encountered such a situation, what would you do?"

The boss suddenly asked Qiao Lin for his opinion.

This is not the first time I have been asked about it. Similar things have happened before, but it is about the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line. Qiao Lin dare not draw conclusions lightly. The enemy took the initiative to attack before launching a counter-offensive, continued to advance the front line southward at the fastest speed, and at the same time stretched the front line across the entire peninsula, so as not to give the enemy a chance to detour to the rear of our army."

"Oh, why do you think that? To achieve such a short period of time, speed is the most important thing."

The boss seemed a little surprised by Qiao Lin's answer.

"During World War II, the Nazis once used a tactic, blitzkrieg, to advance the front line in the shortest possible time, catch the enemy by surprise, and achieved victory in only a short time."

Qiao Lin replied truthfully that this was a classic battle example he had learned in the military academy, and he borrowed it from the current situation.

Time is the army, and time is victory. Fighting for time and space are important contents of military confrontation. If you can be one step ahead of the enemy in time, you can take the initiative on the battlefield.

It is not for nothing that martial arts in the world can only be broken quickly.

During World War II, the Nazis took advantage of this feature, tearing apart the defense line of 20 people in a certain Eastern European country with less than 80 troops, and occupied the country.

The blitzkrieg is also a classic tactic of the Nazis. It once created the myth of capturing a country in one day.

Even Mao Xiong, who was able to compete with the Mi army in the international arena, suffered a big loss from this tactic, and was pushed [-] kilometers deep by the Nazis in a short period of time, causing huge casualties.

"I know the tactics you mentioned, but they are not suitable for our army."

The boss thought for a while, and finally rejected Qiao Lin's proposal.

It is undeniable that blitzkrieg does have unique advantages, and even the art of war mentions that soldiers are expensive and fast.

In reality, the fundamental purpose of troops marching in a hurry is also to buy time, so "fast" is an indispensable condition in war.

Volume 320 Bright Sword Chapter [-] [-] We Are the Grandpas

"No matter how fast our army is, it is impossible to surpass the enemy's planes and cars. Blitzkrieg requires strong maneuverability to give full play to its advantages. This is precisely the shortcoming of our army, and there is another most important condition Ignored by you."

The boss looked at Qiao Lin and said meaningfully.

"Material supply!"

Qiao Lin was startled, and then realized the crux of the problem, and blurted out.

"Ruzi can be taught!"

The boss smiled with relief. Mobility is indeed a shortcoming of the Volunteers, but it is not insurmountable.

In this season, the enemy's cars will not run too fast, and the two feet of the volunteer soldiers may not be unable to catch up. The big deal is to turn the blitzkrieg into a tough battle.

But there is no way to overcome the problem of supplies alone. Soldiers are not machines. Besides, cars and planes also need to be refueled. There is no ration and no ammunition. What do soldiers use to fight?

Even if the enemy besieges but does not attack, the volunteer army can be dragged down.

"I'm sorry, Boss, I'm too one-sided to look at the problem and didn't take this level into consideration."

Qiao Lin said very ashamedly.

He only cared about drawing lessons from the advantages and effects of the blitzkrieg, but completely ignored the required conditions.

"You have no experience in commanding large-scale battles. It is normal for you to be inconsiderate. There is no need to blame yourself. Besides, we are just discussing."

The boss waved his hand to tell Qiao Lin not to worry too much.

"What we can think of, the enemy must also think of. The reason why they think of counterattack is that they know that our army's logistics supply is difficult, and we can't persist in long-term combat. They conclude that we will not take the initiative to attack, so they dare to be so presumptuous."

Although he is not a teacher, the boss seems to be giving a lecture, and every word reveals the meaning of instructing Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin was also listening very carefully, thinking while listening, and really learned a lot.

These are not things he can learn in textbooks.

The generals of the older generation who have worked hard in actual combat, their experience and experience, as well as their control and judgment of the situation, are not at all what theoretical knowledge can possess.

"Boss, according to your idea, what should we do?"

Qiao Lin would like to hear the boss's opinion on this matter.

"In terms of equipment, the enemy is indeed more advanced, but if it is compared to tactics, we are the grandpa. If the enemy wants to lure the enemy to go deep, we can do it too. Don't they want to encircle them in a roundabout way? Then give them an anti-encirclement."

The boss slapped the table with his palm, and Qiao Lin's first feeling was that the commander-in-chief who was far away in Japan, who was still planning hard, might be in trouble again this time.

"This matter will be discussed at the meeting every day. You can attend and listen in. You can learn a lot by listening to what others have to say."

The boss took the initiative to turn over the topic, asked in detail about the Taibai Mountains, and praised Qiao Lin's tactics several times.

As for the matter of the People's Army's captives, it is up to the People's Army to resolve it within itself. Although the two sides are friendly forces, it is not easy to intervene in some matters.

And those captives of Baiyu Laboratory have been secretly detained by Liu Tianlong, and will be escorted back to China for interrogation in a few days.

Since this matter has already involved the international level, it is beyond Zhisi's ability to handle it, and the final result must be left to the domestic decision.

As for people like Guy and Samir, they will be locked up in a prisoner-of-war camp after interrogation, and will be judged by the international court after the war is over.

"The meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon. In the morning, you take the soldiers to Zhisi Hospital for treatment. I see that you are all wounded. Don't leave any sequelae. In addition, go to the logistics department to get a batch of military uniforms to change into."

Before leaving, the boss gave Qiao Lin another word.

"Then I'll go back first, Boss, you should go to bed earlier."

When going out, Qiao Lin saluted and said goodbye to the boss.

"you..."

The boss stood at the door, looking hesitant to speak.

"Is there anything else?"

Qiao Lin asked curiously, feeling that the boss was a little strange.

"Forget it, let's talk after the meeting, there is something you need to do, go back and rest quickly."

The boss waved his hand and said nothing more.

After returning to the residence, the drunken soldiers stared at the roof one by one. Qiao Lin thought something was wrong, so he found out after asking.

I am used to living in a cave in the Taibai Mountains these days, and suddenly I went back to bed to sleep. I was a little uncomfortable, and I suffered from insomnia collectively.

"Let's go out, you guys."

Qiao Lin said angrily, took off his coat and got into bed, but he always felt uncomfortable, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Waking up early in the morning, Liu Tianlong visited the door in person. Before he saw anyone, he yelled loudly in the yard: "Qiao Lin, you're so good now, my dignified head of the guard is about to become your orderly. As long as you Come to Shiji, I have to follow behind and serve."

"Why are you yelling at me? You don't want to talk to the boss. I didn't drag you here."

Qiao Lin opened the door and poured half a jar of water out, so frightened that Liu Tianlong jumped a few meters away, so that he didn't let the water splash on him.

"Okay, I dare to pour water on your brother, so I'm going to coax you, I have something else I want to tell you, but now it seems that it is unnecessary!"

Liu Tianlong crossed his hips, his nostrils almost reached the sky.

"Oh, isn't this the head of the regiment, Brother Liu? Why are you still standing in the courtyard? Come in, it's so cold in the courtyard."

In the next second, Qiao Lin stood beside Liu Tianlong, put his arms around his shoulder and said affectionately.

"Humph!"

Liu Tianlong snorted coldly, looked down at Qiao Lin, and was startled: "What did you do? Why are your eyes so red? It's scary!"

"Don't mention it. I stayed up late. I'm used to sleeping on the ground. I can't fall asleep in bed."

Qiao Lin yawned and walked into the house with Liu Tianlong in his arms.

The soldiers were all sitting in the room, and when they glanced at Qiao Lin, their eyes were all red.

Lie on the bed until midnight, obviously very sleepy, just can't fall asleep, and then some soldiers suggested that, imitating living in a cave, spread the quilt on the ground and lie on it to sleep.

There is a fire in the cave to keep warm, and the ground is covered with horsehide mattresses, which are both moisture-proof and warm.

Ke Zhisi's supplies were limited, and the stove in the barracks burned for several hours a day. After lying on the ground for a while, the cold air penetrated into his body through the quilt.

As a result, the more they slept, the colder they got. In the end, the soldiers all went back to their beds, staring at each other until dawn.

"Tsk tsk, your appearance is absolutely intimidating. Standing in front of others, you don't need to use your hands. Just relying on these two eyeballs can scare people to death, each of you looks like you want to eat people."

After Liu Tianlong looked around, he pouted and said.

"Don't sit still, drink some water, Brother Liu."

Qiao Lin picked up the kettle in the corner, intending to pour a glass of water for Liu Tianlong, but when he shook it, the kettle was empty.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and fetch some water for Brother Liu."

Qiao Lin stuffed the water bottle to the soldier next to him.

"Okay, I got my heart, I don't need to drink water. The boss told me, I will take you to eat first, and then send you to the hospital. When you come back, you have to go to the logistics department to get your clothes."

Liu Tianlong got up quickly, stopped the soldier who was really going to fetch water with a kettle, and said with some helplessness.

"Brother Liu, thank you for your hard work. Brother Liu is too much trouble. Brother Liu is too much trouble."

Qiao Lin yelled one after another, Brother Liu, which made Liu Tianlong panic.

Volume Two, Bright Sword, Chapter 320

Even the soldiers looked at Qiao Lin in surprise, suspecting that the company commander was flattering Liu Tianlong.

However, based on past experience, this flattery probably has bad intentions, and the company commander's operation is planning to get something out of Liu Tianlong.
