Chapter 7 Desperate

In war, sometimes the comparison is wisdom and courage!

******************************

As soon as I said this, everyone in the conference room turned their eyes to me. Corps Xu whispered at me in a pissy mood: "Rareless, who made you talk nonsense..."

"Hey! Let him say it..." Tong Linge interrupted Company Commander Xu's words, looked at me with some confusion and asked, "This is..."

"Report to the deputy military throne!" Company Commander Xu stood up and replied: "It was the first time he realized that the troops on both wings were withdrawn. He was named Shining, and he was a platoon leader under my command!"

"Um!" Hearing this, Tong Lingge couldn't help but walk two steps towards me, looking at me with encouragement and saying, "Little brother, don't have any worries, just say anything!"

I have read some of the matters about Tong Lingge in modern information. I know that he has always been called "Tong Shanren" by the entire 29th Army for tolerance. Now it seems that he is indeed well-known. As a deputy commander, he was so polite to me, a small platoon leader...

"Deputy Military Chief!" After calming down my mood, I said to Tong Lingge: "Can I ask the Chief of Staff a few questions?"

"Well, just ask!" Tong Linge nodded with interest.

"Chief of Staff!" After receiving Tong Lingge's permission, I pushed my lower body towards the chief of staff in front of the map and said, "I don't know... have you detected when the troops on both sides of my wings retreated!"

"Of course there is!" The Chief of Staff smiled dismissively: "The two wing troops were all withdrawn when the Japanese planes began to bomb. It's more than two hours away from Dalei!"

"Ask the Chief of Staff again!" I asked again, "How fast is the Japanese army march?"

"Generally speaking..." The Chief of Staff replied after a moment of silence: "If you are marching urgently, you can walk thirty kilometers a day."

I smiled relaxedly and asked the last question: "Why did more than two hours have passed? The Japanese army has not completely surrounded our army until now?"

The Chief of Staff was stunned when I asked this. The other officers in the conference room didn't understand at first, and then they quickly became "coaxed" and started to mess up.

"Yes!" Tong Linge clenched his fist and said, "The 9th Cavalry Division and the 132nd Division retreated two hours ago, but the Japanese army has not formed a siege on our troops for a long time. This is too unreasonable!"

"Deputy Military Seat!" someone stood up and said, "Can the Japanese army be worried that our army will be ambushed, so the march is slow..."

"No, no, no..." Tong Lingge shook his head and denied: "The Japanese army has always been very proud of our army and does not take our army seriously, so we will never slow down for this reason..."

“That’s…”

"It's better to say this little brother!" Tong Lingge turned his gaze to me.

"Yes!" I was a little surprised by Pang Ruo, but now the military situation is urgent, I am no longer polite, so I walked to the map in two steps and said, "Just as the Chief of Staff said just now, the Japanese army arranged a corps on the front of us, and a battalion was arranged on each wing to encircle it, leaving only the road to Peiping that was not blocked. Why is this?"

After pausing, I continued, "Our army has caused the Japanese army to suffer in the battle, which has prevented the Japanese army from acting rashly. If I were the Japanese commander... what would I do? I would first set up ambush on the road to Peiping, then pretend to take a siege, and even frequently mobilize tanks to put pressure on the opponent to force the enemy to retreat... Then attack the enemy forward and backward on the road to retreat, and you can defeat the enemy without any effort!"

With a "coax!", my words were like throwing a bomb, causing the entire conference room to become chaotic. Commander Xu looked at me half open his mouth and was somewhat incredible. Tong Lingge nodded at me with praise, and the chief of staff next to me nervously took off his glasses and kept wiping his cold sweat...

"Zhang Yuan, what do you think?" Tong Lingge asked the Chief of Staff.

"Deputy Military Chief..." The Chief of Staff glanced at me, pushed his glasses and replied: "Our army's road to Beiping is full of sorghum land more than one person high. Not to mention ambushing an army, it is not easy for people to discover even if it hides a few tanks inside. In addition, most of our army are recruits, so it is difficult to maintain order if it retreats. Once it is ambushed, the consequences will be unimaginable! So... I think the platoon leader Fang analyzed it very much... it makes sense!"

As he said that, he couldn't help but take off his hat and take out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, you little Japanese!" Tong Linge smiled instead of anger and said, "I, Mr. Tong, almost fell into your plan. Fortunately, there was a reminder from Platoon Commander Fang, otherwise we would probably end up being wiped out. This is also the fate of heaven destroying me!"

As he said that, he patted my shoulder and said, "Planer Commander Fang, I, Tong, expressed my gratitude to you on behalf of more than 5,000 soldiers from the military training team!"

"How dare you take it!" I became a little unnatural. To be honest, I was actually more concerned about my life. As for the life and death of these historical figures in front of me... I don't seem to have to care too much.

"Platform Commander Fang!" The Chief of Staff also bowed and said, "I am still giving advice to the deputy military throne. I almost made a big mistake this time. If it weren't for the reminder of Platoon Commander Fang, Mr. Wu would probably become a sinner forever. Platoon Commander Fang was as far-sighted as Zhuge's rebirth, and Mr. Wu was willing to give up the disadvantage!"

At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little amused. In fact, I knew very well that I had no foresight. All I had was just some historical knowledge. If I wanted, I could even say that the Japanese ambush was located at Dahongmen, and the commander was the major general by the river who often came and went to the 29th Army...

But of course I wouldn't be so stupid that I said all of these, otherwise they wouldn't say that I was "foresighted and as if Zhuge was reborn" but would treat me as a Japanese spy.

"Deputy Military Chief, Chief of Staff!" At this time, an officer stood up and said, "If it is really like what Platoon Commander Fang said, then wouldn't we have been surrounded by the Japanese? What should we do next? We can't retreat, we can't fight, and no one will reinforce us... We can't stay here and wait for death!"

Everyone was stunned before they finished speaking. The officer was right. Although we have seen through the Japanese conspiracy and guessed their arrangements, we still cannot untie this dead knot.

Hold on to the death?

Not to mention the Japanese army everywhere, not to mention the Japanese army owned tanks, cannons, and planes, even if we guarded like we are now, we will have no way out in just two days because of the ammunition and food.

Breakthrough?

Others may not know the situation. I know that there are seven or eight thousand people on the riverside brigade that the Japanese army used to set up ambush. They are all well-equipped and elite. It is not easy to break through their encirclement...

"Deputy Military Officer!" After a long silence, a voice trembled and said: "It's better... let's make peace with the Japanese..."

"Third Battalion Commander!" Tong Linge snorted coldly and interrupted the officer and said, "Don't mention this matter again, otherwise don't blame me, Tong for being rude!"

The conference room was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard. I couldn't help but feel a surprise. Unexpectedly, Tong Linge, who was called "good man", also had a bad side.

However, this seems to be understandable. Anyone who is smart can hear it. The words "make peace with the Japanese" in Battalion Commander Zhang are actually whitewashing the surrender. Not to mention how much this kind of remark will hit the morale of the troops if it spreads in the army, Tong Lingge would rather die than surrender in history. Therefore, whether it is considered by the army or from the individual, Tong Lingge would not accept such "suggestions".

"Or why we just fight with the Japanese!" After a while, someone stood up and shouted: "Damn it, let's kill one, kill two, and get a pair of them!"

"Yes! Fight with the Japanese devils, you'll die anyway!"

...

There are still many people who support this voice, but this is undoubtedly another extreme.

This is actually telling me a message, that is, all these officers are desperate, and they all feel that there is no way out, but I don’t think so!

"Deputy Military Captain..." I turned around and said in a low voice: "I have a way, just..."

As he said that, he glanced at the conference room.

"Well!" Tong Linge was also a smart person. He quickly understood what I meant and immediately said to other officers: "Don't worry, everyone, Tong has something to ask Platoon Commander Fang, please wait for a moment!"

As he said that, he winked at Chief Wu and took me into the office next door.

"Platform Commander Fang!" As soon as I entered the house, Tong Lingge bowed to me and said, "The more than 5,000 lives of the military training regiment depends on Platoon Commander Fang. If our troops can successfully escape this time, no matter what the requirements are, I, Tong, will do my best to achieve it for Platoon Commander Fang!"

"You are polite to the deputy military officer!" I quickly replied: "It is enough for me to serve the party and the country as a soldier, and it is also related to my own life. Why dare to make requests to the deputy military officer!"

"Okay!" Tong Lingge nodded and said, "Then I, Mr. Tong, will look stingy if I say more. The military situation is urgent. What can platoon leader have to break through?"

"It's very simple!" I pointed to the picture on the desktop and said, "Go back to Peking!"

"Return to Peiping?" Tong Linge looked at me in confusion and said, "That ambush..."

"See God and kill God and see Buddha and kill Buddha!" ​​This is my answer.

Tong Linge couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He sighed and said, "Our army is far from the Japanese army's equipment, strength and quality, I'm afraid..."

"Then we won't compare to equipment!" I interrupted Tong Linge and replied: "It's not about military strength or quality!"

"Not comparing equipment? It's not about military strength and quality?" Tong Linge was a little confused: "What's comparing?"

"Compare wisdom! Compare courage!"
