Chapter 13: Self-inflicted

After laying a layer of felt cloth and spreading the map on it, Chief Chu and the political commissar and instructors gathered together to discuss it.

"It is of course right to choose a weak position for the enemy to intersperse." Chen Ye first expressed his opinion: "But we have been leaving the military headquarters for some days, and we have no idea about the enemy's troops deployment. How can we choose this position?"

"Can you contact the military headquarters?" Commander Chu asked with a frown.

"It's still not possible to contact us." Chen Ye shook his head: "Maybe he wants to intersperse behind enemy lines, and he is afraid that the radio will be heard by the enemy and will be found out, so he keeps the radio silent!"

It turned out that the regiment was in a state of no command. After hearing this, I realized the current situation. If Captain Chu had temporarily joined the 39th Army according to the orders of his superiors, he would not have lost his target like he is now. But now he is like a blind man, neither knowing the situation of the enemy nor the situation of his own troops, and he bumps around on this battlefield like a headless fly.

"Political Commissar, what do you think is this?" Commander Chu couldn't help but point to the map anxiously and said, "The other army has started fighting in a hurry, and we don't know what to do. We have no tasks and can't find the troops! Do you really want me to take the troops to be the King of Mountains!"

"Old Chu, don't be anxious first!" Chen Ye was a slow man. He lit a cigarette calmly and took a long breath, then pointed to the map and said, "The military headquarters is very proud of this position. Otherwise, we can find a few people's army comrades who are familiar with the terrain to lead the way and choose the shortest route to the military headquarters."

"I think I have to do this." Captain Chu nodded helplessly.

"No, the leader!" Seeing that Captain Chu agreed, I could no longer suppress my opposition: "Captain, that road cannot be taken!"

"Why don't you walk?" The group of people surrounding the map looked at me in confusion.

"Captain!" My old face turned red, and I walked forward like a duck to get on the shelves. I clicked on several locations on the map and said, "Captain, this is the South 1st Division, this is the 24th Division of the United States, this is the 25th Division of the United States, this is the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States. If we go on this road, we will not only not be able to return to the military headquarters, but we will also fall into the encirclement of the enemy!"

"How do you know the enemy's troops deployment?" Chen Ye couldn't help but ask strangely.

In fact, it was not just Chen Ye, but all the people present, including Captain Chu, looked at me with half-believing and half-doubted eyes.

"Isn't it just the radio?" I have a bad habit. I will stutter when I lie, but when it comes to this, I can only continue to talk about the lies.

"Then...that radio, I called the 24th Division of the US to successfully march into Bochuan all day long. I remembered it as I listened and forgot... I forgot it almost, this...this time I looked at this map, I remembered it."

It's so hard, I couldn't help but scream in my heart. Fortunately, Captain Chu and others didn't know my bad habit. Thinking back then, my habit was always used by my colleagues as a way to tease me, saying it was... a human body lie detector!

"Oh." Because I told Captain Chu last time, he first reacted and explained: "There is such a radio that was seized in the Battle of Yunshan last time."

After Captain Chu said this, the others quickly became suspicious. I made up my mind as soon as they asked where the radio was, I would say that it was too heavy and I lost it halfway through the road, and there was no evidence to die.

"Okay! You..." Chen Ye was so happy when he heard this: "Come on... Platoon Commander Cui, let's talk about other troops of the enemy."

"Finish!" As soon as I heard this, I knew I was confused and I was speechless when I spoke calmly. I gestured to the map and said, "The 27th British Brigade is in this position, in the direction of Dingzhou, here is the 1st US Army, here is the 9th US Army, what about the right wing of the enemy? It is the 7th Pseudo-8th Pseudo-6th Pseudo-6th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-8th Pseudo-6th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo-7th Pseudo

I thought about it for a while and continued, "According to the radio, the total strength of these three divisions is less than 20,000."

After hearing what I added, everyone looked at each other and nodded, and at the same time chose the right wing of the enemy as the interlude point.

"It's just!" Chen Ye spat out a mouthful of smoke and drew a route on the map with his fingers: "Although it's the most ideal to intersperse from here, Lao Chu, this route is more than twice as long!"

Hehe, I laughed in my heart. This is exactly where my conspiracy lies. If I follow my path, the length is twice as long as the original one. Then it will take four or five days even if I walk to the rear of the enemy without any danger! I know very clearly from modern information that the offensive launched by the Volunteer Army can usually last for about seven days. This is because of the lack of logistics supply supply. After seven days of the offensive, the Volunteer Army faces a situation where food and bombs are cut off. Therefore, no matter how you win or lose, you must find a way to end the battle.

It is precisely because of this that the US military calls our offensive a weekly offensive, which was later exploited by Li Qiwei, which caused a lot of hardship in the volunteer army.

Now? The plan in my mind is that if I walk this road today, even if I don’t have any obstacles to reach the enemy’s rear, the battle is almost over, so we will clean up the battlefield and clean up the battlefield... I am so amazing! I smiled proudly in my heart, secretly admiring myself, and my ability to protect myself is getting higher and higher.

"No problem!" After a long silence, Captain Chu made a decision: "Just go this way!"

I was so happy when I heard this. This time I can finally survive this battle safely!

"As long as we travel day and night," unexpectedly, Captain Chu continued, "We will force two or three to march through these four or five days, and it should be too late!"

"What? Forced march? Day and night?" The following sentence of Captain Chu was like a bolt from the blue that made me stunned on the spot.

"It seems that this is the only way!" Chen Ye nodded and said, "It's just that comrades have to suffer more. They may not have time to sleep on the road. Can comrades marching for two or three days or three days?

"able!"

"Finish the task resolutely!"
