Volume Three Cannons Bombing His Mother Chapter 361 The Puppet
Fu Zuoyi's idea played right into Bai Chongxi's wish. Bai Chongxi was known as Little Zhuge. What is Little Zhuge? Isn't it the reincarnation of the resourceful Zhuge Kongming? I remember when Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, burned Bowang Slope, burned Xinye, and then burned Red Cliff.
These three fires made Zhuge Liang famous throughout the ages, and the name of Wuhou has been passed down to this day. Speaking of which, these three battles are a model of defeating more with less, and defeating the right with surprise. Since Bai Chongxi compares himself to Zhuge Liang, he also leads troops in the same way.
There is also Zhuge Liang's hobby of being unexpected and unpredictable.
However, Bai Chongxi did not praise Fu Zuoyi in public, nor did he touch his hands and laugh. He just waited for Fu Zuoyi to finish speaking and nodded calmly, indicating that he should sit down first, and then turned his attention to others.
With Fu Zuoyi's start, the atmosphere that followed became much more lively. Some people proposed to use the trick to let the Russian Imperial Government troops launch attacks in the three areas before the breakthrough, while the 78th Regiment would mobilize forces in the Soviet Red Army to encircle and annihilate the Russian Imperial Government troops.
At the right time, he launched a surprise attack, backed by the powerful firepower and advanced weapons of the 78th Regiment, and completely broke through the opponent's defense line in one breath. Then he joined forces with friendly forces to make a U-turn and implement a counter-encirclement, completely reversing the battlefield situation.
Some people also suggested that the 78th Regiment use the Russian Imperial Government Army as bait and fight in a roundabout way. At that time, the two sides will cooperate with a central strategy to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. Of course, some people also suggested that the best way is to fight slowly and steadily, relying on the 78th Regiment.
It shouldn't be a big problem to gain some initiative on the battlefield due to our strength. We can make better plans after the entire battle situation stabilizes...
Each of these suggestions has its own reasons. As the chief of staff, Zhang Zhizhong asked the staff to record them one by one to formulate a plan as a record. For more than two hours, everyone expressed their opinions. After listening to all the opinions, Bai Chongxi
There was no immediate decision on how to fight. Instead, the meeting was announced and everyone went back to wait for the battle order.
"Wen Bai, what do you think?" After the people left, the regiment headquarters defeated Bai Chongxi, Cao Wenlian and Zhang Zhizhong took a drink of water, and Bai Chongxi asked.
"Haha. Brother Jiansheng already has a plan in mind, why do you need to ask me?" Zhang Zhizhong replied with a smile, struck a match and lit a cigarette happily.
"Hahaha, Wenbai is Wenbai, you can tell that?" Bai Chongxi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Cao Wenlian next to him was a little confused, looking at these two fascinated guys, he couldn't help but
He stopped and asked: "Regiment commander, chief of staff. What are you talking about?"
"Haha, Old Cao, Old Cao, what I mean is that the regiment leader has already decided how to fight. The purpose of the meeting just now was just to correct the omissions,"
Cao Wenlian thought about it thoughtfully, and soon he also laughed, grinning happily and said: "Well, you are a regiment leader, you can do this to your own people. The clouds and mountains are shrouded in fog, and I almost lost my life."
I, Lao Cao, went around. I was still worried about how to fight this battle, but it turns out that you, commander, have already thought about it."
"I'm sorry, Old Cao. There is a general suspicion, but we have to think carefully about what to do. What did Zhuge Liang rely on to be victorious in every battle? Isn't it just prudence? Zhuge Liang was cautious all his life, but he was still like this
A story of an empty city was created. Sun Tzu said at the beginning of The Art of War: Soldiers are fierce
Qiye, how can a war be started as soon as one slaps the head? Are there too many stories of one general being incompetent and exhausting the three armies to death? Besides, my plan is still imperfect in many aspects, especially the intelligence aspect..." Bai Chongxi explained apologetically.
Cao Wenlian nodded after hearing this, thinking that what he said made sense.
"When it comes to war, I, Old Cao, can't lose to anyone, but when it comes to leading troops, you, Commander, are much better than me. I listen to you on this matter. Just tell me. What do you want me, Old Cao, to do? Do something.
What?"
Bai Chongxi and Zhang Zhizhong laughed at the same time. Cao Wenlian was certainly not a simple person from being a soldier to the position of deputy commander. He clearly knew where his strengths and weaknesses were. In the 78th Regiment, he
His main responsibility is to assist Bai Chongxi in leading the troops and help him arrange logistics and other aspects of work. How could Bai Chongxi be dissatisfied with such a knowledgeable deputy who knows how to advance and retreat?
Immediately, Bai Chongxi explained some things to Cao Wenlian in detail. Cao Wenlian remembered everything in his heart. After finishing speaking, he immediately stood up and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
After a day of rest and recuperation, after the sun rose the next day, the 78th Regiment still showed no signs of breaking out of camp, but the scattered reconnaissance troops continued to go back and forth between the front line and the 78th Regiment's temporary base. Until noon of the next day, Bai Chongxi waited
The guests finally arrived.
This guest is none other than His Excellency Baron Peter Nikolayevich Wrangel, the supreme commander of the Russian Imperial Government Army on the front line. His Excellency the Baron did not come alone. In addition to a company of guards, he also brought his
Chief of Staff General Stanislavsky and several staff officers.
Lieutenant Colonel Valentin, who was previously the liaison officer, was not among the crowd, and not even any of the cavalrymen who were with him showed up. I don’t know where they were sent to His Excellency the Baron.
Lieutenant Colonel Valentin does not know the true origin of the Seventy-Eighth Regiment, but that does not mean that His Excellency the Baron does not know it. You must know that as Her Majesty the Queen's former aide-de-camp and later commander of the Ussuriysk Defense Forces, Peter Nikolay
Baron Vichy Wrangel can also be regarded as a core figure in the orthodox government of the Russian Empire. Although he once betrayed the empress
, but he still swore allegiance to the Queen after all. What's more, after the Soviet revolution in European Russia, almost all of the Baron's family members who had no time to take him out died under the suppression of the Soviet government. How deep is the hatred, the Baron is now determined to serve Russia.
The empire is dedicated to its life and hates its opponent even more than ordinary generals.
When the 78th Regiment headed north, Baron Peter Nikolayevich Wrangel, as the frontline commander, received a secret message from the Queen, and has been looking forward to the arrival of the 78th Regiment to this day.
Therefore, when the liaison officer Lieutenant Colonel Valentin returned to the front in anger,
When he complained to his superiors on the line, the Baron not only did not make any orders to punish the 78th Regiment, on the contrary, he immediately arranged the military affairs of the troops, and then immediately led his trusted chief of staff and guards to the 78th Regiment's temporary attack.
The resident rushed over.
In terms of military rank, the Baron is now a general, and Bai Chongxi is just a colonel. In terms of power, the Baron is the highest commander on the front line, holding the command of tens of thousands of troops, while Bai Chongxi is just a regimental commander who can command a company of troops.
The other party is less than one-tenth. But the Baron knows very well that nominally Bai Chongxi is his subordinate, but in fact the 78th Regiment is not something he can command at all, and now he is facing Russia.
For the imperial orthodox government, the Chinese government is their only life-saving straw. With the Chinese government’s “free assistance” in military, political, and economic aspects, the Russian imperial orthodox government has long regarded itself as the Chinese government.
In this case, Bai Chongxi almost had the transcendent status of an imperial envoy. Otherwise, how could the Baron rush over as soon as he learned that the 78th Regiment had arrived?
The appearance of the baron surprised Bai Chongxi, but it was also expected. Before departure, although Bai Chongxi got some hints in the military area, he did not understand the secrets between the top officials of the Chinese government and the orthodox government of the Russian Empire. He hurried
Valentin left, firstly because of the previous reasons, and secondly because of another idea in his mind, which was to use this method to formalize how much command authority and freedom he had on the front line.
As a battlefield commander, without the actual command authority over the troops and the ability of the troops to move freely, Bai Chongxi absolutely does not believe that Lao Maozi's combat capabilities can make his troops play their maximum role. Now, the answer is in his hands
In front of you, now that you have
After knowing the opponent's trump card, the last stone in Bai Chongxi's heart finally fell. When he learned that the baron was about to arrive at the camp, Bai Chongxi first smiled with relief, and then quickly asked people to find the chief of staff and deputy commander.
, and then went together to welcome the distinguished guests.
The two sides met in a very harmonious atmosphere. After the brief and solemn ceremony, Bai Chongxi invited the Baron to sit at the temporary regiment headquarters. The Baron readily agreed, leaving his guards and ordinary staff outside, and entered the tent with his chief of staff.
.
"General Bai, we have been looking forward to your arrival these days, but finally you are here. This is my chief of staff, General Stanislavsky. If you have any information about the front line, you can directly contact Stanislavsky.
General Ji asked, if your army comes from afar, if you have any logistical material needs, you can also mention them, and I will do my best to cooperate with you."
After entering the tent, Baron Peter Nikolayevich Wrangel changed his arrogant aristocratic appearance outside. On the contrary, he showed a cautious expression with a smiling face. Before Bai Chongxi could ask, His Excellency the Baron couldn't wait to ask.
He spoke what was in his heart, and the Chief of Staff sitting next to him nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.
Bai Chongxi, Zhang Zhizhong and Cao Wenlian exchanged glances with each other. Their calm eyes concealed relaxation and excitement. Since His Excellency the Baron was so knowledgeable, they were not polite. Zhang Zhizhong immediately began to ask General Stanislavsky about the battle situation on the front line.
, and took notes personally.
General Stanislavsky is a middle-aged man in his forties. This general with the same name as the Russian artist has a rough face and a tall figure. As a lower-level nobleman, he is a graduate of an orthodox military academy.
The military capability is much stronger than that of the actual commander Baron. After General Stanislavsky's explanation, Zhang Zhizhong and others realized that all the battles from the beginning to the present were actually led by General Stanislavsky.
arranged, and the Baron was only the nominal supreme commander.
