165 The more thorough the destruction, the more active
In Huaxi Town, the revolutionary army command post of a big house in the northwest corner, a house is very lively. After listening to the pre-war reports, they are studying the next operational deployment.
Li wanted to sit at the head. Zeng Gao and Huang Guangzhong played horizontally. Song Que and Zhou Wu sat in turn. There were fine snacks on the Eight Immortals table in the middle, which were all collected by Tang Yuewan in this house.
Li Xiangxiao said, "It's just that in the battle since one night, it has won a big victory in the planned battle. Li Xiping once captured Wusheng Pass, and even the railway tunnel under the gate was blown up. The Beiyang Army could not dredge the tunnel in less than ten days and a half months. A section of the railway under the General's Village was also demolished, and the data point on the Xiaozidian railway line was occupied, cutting the railway into several sections, and now it is continuing to attack. Lin Tiechang once captured Lidian, and the railway was also completely destroyed. He captured the capital of the north and south of Caizhuang, destroyed one of the enemy, and blew up the Luling Iron Bridge. The railway was cut into several sections and occupied a Zhenzhuang fortress. Now he is continuing to attack Gangtou. Our harvest is also very good. Xiaochang City has been besieged, the railway between Xiaochang and Xiaogan has been damaged, and the traffic has been cut off. The development in all directions is smooth.
Song Que's mouth was full, and he smiled confusedly and said, "Shandi, just hand a letter to Jin Zhaolong and ask him to find a few people to secretly blow up the Sandao Bridge and cut off the traffic between Xiaogan and Hankou. Let's concentrate our troops, take the Beiyang camp of Xiaogan, and then go back to clean up Feng Guozhang in Hankou.
"That's impossible." Zeng Gao peeled a pine seed, which formed a sharp contrast with Song Que's devouring. He said, "It is impossible for the Sandao Bridge to be stationed without the Beiyang Army. A few people can't do this big thing. If a large army is sent to attack, Hankou and Xiaogan are so close to the Sandao Bridge, they can send most of the support at any time. Do you know?"
Song Que hurriedly bowed his head to eat, as if he had just farted. There's nothing I can do. Zeng Gao is reasonable. It's useless for him to have a bigger fist than a bowl.
Li wants to eat these sweet and greasy snacks, which are tasteless like chewing wax. If you are used to eating junk snacks after a hundred years, you will not like to eat these sweet and greasy things. The culture of these senior generals under the seat still needs to be improved. If he thought about it, he said to Song Que with a smile, "Oh! It's terrible to be uneducated. Shortcoming brother, you have to participate in the literacy night shift run by the military department..." He didn't finish, and everyone had already burst out laughing.
Song Que, who was criticized by the name, laughed even more and said, "Marshal, you haven't read well yet. Do you also want to accompany me to the night shift for literacy?"
Li Xiang should not regret, and his life of wisdom was destroyed. He brazenly calmed down and quibbled: "I just don't know a few rare words, which are completely different from illiterates like you. What's more, I think the words are enough. Those who study these rare words are rotten Confucianism! Rare words need to be eliminated, and traditional Chinese characters need to be simplified, which is conducive to the popularization of culture. Improving the cultural literacy of the whole people is also for the spread of revolutionary ideas. Shortcoming brother, I'm different from you."
"Even if you can raise the reason why you are illiterate to the great height of the revolution, you still can't change the true face of illiterate people who are illiterate." Tang Yuewan poked his cowhide and glanced at him with wonderful eyes: "Two people, fifty steps and a hundred steps, how dare you be so righteous."
Li Xiang smiled awkwardly and coughed gently, and secretly replied to her with a white eyeball: It's always exposes master's shortness. Sooner or later, he will treat you straight, law, leather whip candles to serve...
Li Xiang smiled with an obscene smile on his face. Suddenly, he woke up when he saw everyone's curious gaze and turned the topic lightly: "Okay, let's have a good time. It's time to do business - Xiaowan, clean up the table."
Tang Yuewan seemed to see through Li Xiang's obscene thoughts and took a fierce look at him before he began to clean up the wolf's desk.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, it is..." Song's shortcomings are not limited, and he grabs the last snack in front of Tang Yuewan.
"That's nature. But, commander-in-chief, it's you who change the topic. Zeng Gao couldn't help complaining about Li Xiang. This general can always turn the topic from all over the world, which is really unbearable. Although such a post-modern affinity is incompatible with this dark era of feudal hierarchy, thus forming his unique leadership charm and making them all fascinated by his personality charm, he couldn't help complaining about it at the military conference.
The map spread out on the Eight Immortals table. Li wanted to look at the exciting red arrows on the map and said in a rare color: "The battle situation at the beginning of the day's battle is beneficial to me and is conducive to my expansion results. It is estimated that about one-third of the group's battle steps have been completed, and from the perspective of the situation a few days ago, it is conducive to the expansion of the results, and based on this victory to achieve all the tasks of the campaign. For this reason, each army must resolutely carry out all the tasks assigned by the headquarters, and can take measures such as troop shifts, buying firewood and grass to help each other to bake clothes to overcome the difficulty of rain. . At the same time, we should also see the difficulty of the rain on the enemy, which is also a heavy blow to the enemy after losing railway transportation. Immediately issue an order to order the troops to resolutely expand the results quickly.
Zeng Gao stared at it for a long time, frowned and said, "Do you want to issue a new combat order?"
"It is appropriate to chase the poor bandits bravely and live up to the famous top student." Li Xiang nodded and stood up with a smile and said, "The order requires that in addition to a surveillance of Wusheng Pass, the main force of Li Xiping will completely destroy a large number of railways, bridges, roads, tunnels and some strongholds that may be taken, and quickly expand the results. In addition to leaving a small part to besiege the enemy fortress of Zhenzhuang, one of the commanders of Lin Tie continued to attack the Beiyang stronghold in the north of Zhengge Longtougang, and prepared to destroy the railway traffic to the north of Xiaochang with one of its strength. The other part still gradually turned to expand in the direction of Guangshui in order to complete all the battle tasks more satisfactorily. The most important task of our division is to cut off the railway traffic of Xiaogan Xiaochang and destroy the post official road from Xiaochang to Xiaogan in large quantities. At least within a week, the enemy must not restore traffic, and this limited task must be completed first.
Li wants to point out on the map, proudly as if the country is in the palm of his hand. "The completion time of all the tasks of each column on the Jinghan line should not exceed 15 days at most... Try to complete them all before the 15th."
Time is the key. He is afraid that if the frenzy is not rolled up as soon as possible, Shanghai and Nanjing will accept the peace proposal first. If the war is not on the battlefield, but on the negotiating table, Yuan Shikai is in a stable winning situation. In this complex and dark politics, governance and struggle, who can fight against the living Cao Cao in the Qing Dynasty?
"In addition," Li thought about it and added, "Now it's winter. In the middle of the battle, especially during the rainy and snowy period, don't underestimate the enemy's negligence and cause unnecessary losses."
Although it is not surprising that Li wants to issue such an order, military orders and revolutionary priorities, even if Li Xiang is a careless commander, they dare not be disrespectful. They get up and stand respectfully.
Zeng Gao said, "The military situation cannot be delayed. You have to call immediately and send the military leaders."
Li Xiang was still meditating and said, "At the same time, all departments are fighting hard, and the headquarters should generate awards. How to draw up the award order, Zeng Gao, give it to you as a staff officer... Don't be too literary, it's like eight shares."
Song Que saw that Zeng Gao was embarrassed and knew his situation. He gloated and said, "We soldiers are all rude, and we can't understand Xiucai's articles. The general is thoughtful, but he didn't mean to make things difficult for you.
"You boy, don't be a gag." Li wanted to scold him. This time, he didn't follow him to the topic. He was very conscious and scolded the nonsense of his subordinates by the way.
Zeng Gao muttered to the "Don't be too literary" required by Li Xiang, believing that such a formal official document must be literary and can become a model essay for Shilin students to learn until a hundred years later. Such an official document can become a famous work with historical value and literary value at the same time. However, with Li Xiang, his hope of fame in the literary world is very far away... Even if he wants to pass it on, it will only be a laughingstock.
"Marshal, you think it's good," Zeng said listlessly, "According to your brief war reports, because all the commanders I participated in the war are loyal to the Chinese revolution, loyal to the Chinese nation, and bravely and boldly attack on the Beijing-Han railway traffic line, they have won the great victory of the prelude battle. I am infinitely gratified and specially honored. If you look up, you will be informed. This war is an independent and active attack on the Beiyang enemy since the Hubei battlefield, which is of great significance to the national revolutionary situation and the whole war situation in Hubei. This traffic breakup will also become the most glorious term in the Sino-foreign war. I hope that all my soldiers will give full play to their greatest determination, perseverance, endurance, tenacity and mobility, and in the spirit of further efforts, on the basis of the existing preface victory, we will victorily expand the results of the battle and complete the battle task. I am looking forward to..."
For such an article, Zeng Gao didn't need an abdominal manuscript, so he pinched it casually. The staff officer on the side of the meeting minutes wrote wildly, which could keep up with his speed.
Zeng Gao recalled some of the information just obtained by the General Staff and continued: "According to the intelligence, the Beiyang enemy seems to be concentrating troops from Xinyang, Xiaogan, Hankou and other lines to reinforce the Beijing-Han Railway. Wushengguan, Dawu, Guangshui, Xiaochang and other Beiyang enemies are also shrinking their defenses and concentrating their forces, but it is estimated that the troops are extremely limited. And I was blocked and detained along the way, and it is still difficult to basically destroy the progress of my campaign. In addition to actively breaking the traffic and preventing the aid of the enemy, Shang Xi strictly reconnaissance and vigilance, contact each other, and coordinate with each other, and continue to actively attack all possible strongholds that may be captured, the enemy may be destroyed, and the buildings that may be destroyed. Try your best to extend the duration of the battle and expand the results. For the strength of the enemy to be assisted by hundreds of people or a brigade, you should have a firm determination to gather superior forces to eliminate it.
Li Xiang gave a "um" sound. This is also the first time that Li Xiang has released the "Battle Deployment on Both Sides of the Beijing-Han Line" to various combat areas after the launch of the Jinghan Traffic Breaking War. Through this order, it can be seen that Li wants to be thinking about the action plan of the second step according to the change of the situation.
Li Xiang can definitely add, and said: "In the case that the Beijing-Han railway line cannot continue to persist in the battle or complete the task of the Jinghan Railway Breaking the battle, my policy of action should be to take advantage of the victory to carry out the results on both sides of the Beijing-Han railway line, to recover the enemy's certain strongholds deep into the respective bases, and continue to adhere to the Beijing-Han railway line. The guerrilla war on the railway line narrows the enemy-occupied area, expands the results, and rests with a force.
Because he suddenly thought that Wu Shengguan, Dawu and Xiaochang, a stronghold valued by the Beiyang army, would be sacrificed greatly even if it was conquered, and he had to face the strong counterattack of the Beiyang army. If he wanted to occupy it for a long time, he would sacrifice more. In this case, the order needs to be more flexible.
Zeng Gao couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that Li Shuai's mind was really meticulous. I don't know whether Li Shuai thought of the supplementary plan because he just heard that he mentioned the main information of the armies, or whether he had thought of it before. If it is the latter, then Li Shuai's keen sense of smell on the battlefield is too terrible.
Zeng Gaoyin said: "According to the information I just said, the Beiyang enemy seems to be concentrating troops from Xinyang, Xiaogan, Hankou and other lines to reinforce the Beijing-Han Railway. Wushengguan, Dawu, Guangshui, Xiaochang and other Beiyang enemy pirates are also shrinking their defenses and concentrating their forces. From this analysis, the enemy is likely to have woken up from the first attack last night. Enemy Xinyang has already marched troops to the Wushengguan area for reinforcements. Dawu and Guangshui organized the retreated remnants in various places, and are also stepping up the contraction of defenses and consolidating their positions. In particular, the Beiyang Army from the Xiaogan battalion vigorously reinforced the strongholds between Xiaochang and Xiaogan. In this way, it is likely that the revolutionary army will not be able to continue to fight on the Jinghan Railway.
"Is that so? Is there such important information?" Li wanted to say with a gentle smile that he had gone out to give a speech before, but he didn't know that the staff had received so much information. In the "reward order" drafted by Zeng Gao, I heard that it was just a vague image. With an inspiration, I added a few words. Unexpectedly, it led to such a big problem. Li wanted to lie on the map, quickly shifted his attention from the dark Beijing-Han railway line to the Beiyang army strongholds on both sides of the railway line, and immediately further conceived and improved the second-step action plan of the Beijing-Han traffic attack war.
"It seems that the situation is quite serious, and it is not as optimistic as we think." Li wanted to scratch the back of his head, touched a cigarette, and began to swallow the fog.
Zeng Gao stared at the map with burning eyes. He seemed to have grasped Li Xiang's second plan and said, "When implementing the second-step combat plan, Li Xiping's troops should strive to recover Dawu and the strongholds north of Guangshui with no less than four regiments; Lin Tie's chief should use appropriate troops to remove a number of the hinterland. Stronghold; the military headquarters directly under the headquarters should attack Xiaochang to Xiaogan Post Road with no less than four regiments, and completely destroy it, and strive to recover Xiaochang City.
This is all the available soldiers in Li Xiang's hand, and he can't even keep the reserve team.
With the next combat concept, Li wants to be more clear about what he should do in the current first step.
Li Xiang said, "That's it. The staff will discuss it in detail later. In my name, the telegram "The more the damage of the Jinghan Line is, the more I will take the initiative". The content of the telegram was highly drafted, and it was still a requirement: Don't write too much."
No one expected that the telegram taken by Li Shuai in his own name would also be drafted by Zeng Gao. It was not surprising that the upper official asked a subordinate to catch a knife to write for him. Li wanted to take advantage of his father-in-law Tang Hualong to write for Li Yuanhong and wrote two articles that Wuchang vowed to sacrifice to the sky. But looking for a surrogate is not a requirement for literary talent, hoping to spread through the ages. How can they be as strange as Li Shuai's request that "don't be too literary"? Li Shuai would make such a strange request, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Just thinking of his earlier request for the "reward order", Shunjian was relieved.
For a long time, the depressed Zeng Gaocai stretched his eyebrows and said, "General, you are the master of the army, and you have the final say here... But after all, this matter is not as good as a commendation order. This dispatch of staff can be done. There is no need to rely on me. My overall staff is very busy.
Zeng Gao was full of talent. He was really reluctant to continue to give Li Shuai Dai such a "pen", a "reward order" on behalf of Li Shuai, and then an article "the more thorough the destruction of the Beijing-Han line, the more active I will be". He has no face to see his ancestors when he dies?
"This matter has been agreed." Li thought that he didn't seem to hear Zeng Gaoman's resentment. He got up and said, "Zeng Gao, Song Que, Zhou Wu, the three of you will go to the staff at this moment... It's just next door. Let's see how to decide. Just give me a call later."
Li wanted to raise his legs and want to leave, but he couldn't help but emphasize again: "This war is of great significance to change the situation of the enemy and ourselves in the whole war. The longer I can persist along the Beijing-Han Railway, the more thorough the destruction will be. It may force the enemy to change the deployment of some parts of its troops and transfer troops from other points to reinforce the Jinghan Railway Line. This gives me the convenience of new mobility or forces the enemy to give up some strongholds in the north and south of the Beijing-Han Railway Line and rescue the Beijing-Han Railway Line, which is even more beneficial to the consolidation of the whole Hubei revolutionary base. Achieving this goal makes it easy for our army to take the initiative and manipulate the war, because the result of this war can only cut off the traffic of the Beijing-Han railway line for a period of time, and cannot achieve a fundamental change in the war situation.
Li Xiang talked endlessly, and the cigarette on his mouth also smoked fiercely. When he was about to burn his mouth, he suddenly spit out the cigarette butt out of the door and continued, "We also estimate that the enemies on all lines are reinforcements on the Beijing-Han Railway Line, and the enemies of the north and south strongholds of the Beijing-Han Railway Line are still trying to stick to it. Therefore, our combat corps should continue to actively break through and block the enemy's aid. In addition to continuing to completely break the road and remove the potential strongholds, we should especially deal with the soldiers within an enemy brigade
Power, gather the most advantageous troops to annihilate it. Only by annihilating one or two enemy brigades can we successfully expand. Li Xiping's department should block the enemy who came to the south to help, and should strive to eliminate one of it. It should continue to break the Wushengguan and Xiaozidian railways, and the enemies of Jiuliguan, Pingjingguan, Guangshui, Dawu and counties should continue to attack and disturb it.
This plan is active, aggressive and crazy, which fully embodies Li's determination and will to carry out the revolution to the end, and is full of Li's confidence in controlling the war.
In order to break the attack and attack the Beiyang army to the maximum extent, the first step of the battle is to break the road on the inner line and attack the Beiyang army. When the Beiyang army comes to help, if it is a small army, it will gather superior troops to annihilate it, forcing the Beiyang army to give up some of the north and south of the Beijing-Han railway line. Point, this is the first step to rescue the Jinghan railway line; the second step is that when the Beiyang enemy troops come to help, the main force of the revolutionary army jumps out of the Jinghan railway line and turns to the north and south sides of the railway to find new weaknesses.
Li Xiang's plan fully grasped the biggest weakness of the Beiyang Army in Hubei.
Zeng Gao nodded repeatedly. Li Shuai's next strategic analysis is clear, and the staff only needs to sort out and summarize.
"What the general said!" Song Quelang said in a loud voice that although he was not clear about Li Shuai's two-step plan, he heard Li Shuai's invincible self-confidence, and he was naturally also full of self-confidence. Please rest assured to give it to me! I would like to set up a military order!"
Zhou Wu had been itchy for a long time, and he refused to lag behind and said, "Brother, don't think you can do it, and I'm not ambiguous!"
"Don't look for me. You should look for Zeng Gao." Li wanted to shake his hand and shook his arms to the door. He whispered, "If you use your brain too much, you will be bald..."
