Chapter 155 Captain Qin, are you getting carried away?!
"Brother Qin Long, you don't want to start a war with the Japanese on two fronts in Dezhou and Jinan, do you?!"
Especially Chu Yunfei, his eyes were bigger than an elephant's, and he asked in disbelief!
Everyone else was also shocked by Chu Yunfei's words!
Fighting the Japanese in Dezhou and Jinan simultaneously?!
On the one hand, you want to kill Taro Ishii who is closely protected by the Japanese?
On the other hand, we have to attack Jinan, which is heavily defended by the Japanese?
And we have to fight all the way to the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp to rescue those American pilots intact?!
It’s not just that this idea is outrageous, it’s simply nonsense!
Dezhou and Jinan were both heavily defended cities by the Japanese, plus there were Japanese troops stationed in the surrounding counties. Qin Long still wanted to fight on two fronts?!
How many devils would that provoke?!
Wouldn't the entire North China War Zone be turned upside down?!
The look in everyone's eyes when they looked at Qin Long at this moment clearly said one thing!
Captain Qin, are you getting carried away?!
"Ahem!"
Old Li was the most familiar with Qin Long, so naturally he was the first to persuade Qin Long:
"Captain Qin, I think we need to carefully consider the idea of fighting the Japanese on two fronts in Xuzhou and Jinan."
"After all, this is a war. One wrong move could lead to a complete loss..."
"Your friend has expended considerable manpower and resources in supporting you with so many advanced weapons. Should we come up with a foolproof plan?"
"Yeah!"
Fang Zhengming also nodded and said:
"Captain Qin, I also think it would be better for you to think about it carefully again."
Chen Wu's face was even more serious, and he was just about to clasp his hands together and say, "I am the same..."
However, what no one expected was that Qin Long actually said:
"I do plan to visit both Dezhou and Jinan, but who said we have to fight the Japanese on two fronts in Dezhou and Jinan?"
"I still know the art of war: concentrating superior forces to attack the enemy's weak links."
"That……"
Everyone present was stunned...
The current situation is that Qin Long obviously wants to go to both places.
He planned to kill Taro Ishii and rescue those American pilots.
But he also said that he would not fight the Japanese on two fronts. So how does Qin Long plan to fight this battle?
Let’s say Lao Li works in intelligence, Fang Zhengming and Chen Wu are from the logistics department. They are not proficient in combat, so it is normal that they cannot guess Qin Long’s thoughts.
But Chu Yunfei graduated from the fifth class of the Whampoa Military Academy and was later promoted to the commander of an American-equipped division, which shows that he is still quite capable.
But now even Chu Yunfei couldn't guess how Qin Long was going to fight this battle!
"Brother Qin Long, how do you plan to arrange it?"
Since he couldn't guess it, Chu Yunfei simply gave up guessing.
He came here under the pretext of learning and observing, so it wouldn't be embarrassing to ask directly.
“My initial thoughts are this.”
Before Qin Long traveled through time, he was a military enthusiast, so he had a deep understanding of the strategic deployment and tactical arrangements of some famous battles.
"My troops have an overwhelming advantage in mobility over the Japanese."
"So, I plan to bypass Dezhou and feint an attack on Jinan first. After all, there are more Japanese soldiers in Jinan, so it's more suitable for surprise attacks."
"Once Jinan is attacked, the Japanese will definitely send troops to support it frantically, so the feint attack on Jinan must be short enough."
Qin Long circled Jinan on the battle map with a pencil.
"Therefore, the entire force must be deployed in the feint attack on Jinan, so that we can seize the opportunity to capture the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Jinan in a very short time."
"After capturing the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and rescuing the American pilot, part of the troops advanced directly from Jinan towards Dezhou."
"The other part of the troops, relying on their far superior mobility to the Japanese, will flank the Japanese reinforcements coming from Dezhou and directly form a pincer attack from behind, completely annihilating the Japanese reinforcements coming from Dezhou to Jinan."
As he spoke, Qin Long drew two lines on the battle map with a pencil:
"Jinan is the provincial capital. Once attacked, even if the Japanese wanted to leave a large number of troops to protect Ishii Taro, they wouldn't be able to leave too many. They would have to send most of their forces to rescue Jinan."
"And they definitely wouldn't have immediately thought that our ultimate goal of the feint attack on Jinan was actually to attack Dezhou and kill Ishii Taro."
"So, as long as we can wipe out this group of Japanese troops on the road, Texas will be within our grasp, and Ishii Taro will be dead."
"hiss!!!"
After hearing Qin Long's thoughts, everyone present took a deep breath!
Lao Li, Fang Zhengming and Chen Wu really didn't expect that Qin Long actually wanted to kill all the Japanese in Dezhou and Jinan in one pot!
Moreover, they really didn't understand the mystery here. They just looked at each other, with words written on their faces.
Captain Qin has such a big appetite!
But Chu Yunfei is different!
He frowned and kept thinking, why does this style of play feel so familiar?
suddenly!
A strategic means flashed through Chu Yunfei's mind!
Big detour!
Isn't this just a simplified version of the Grand Detour Strategy?!
Chu Yunfei looked at Qin Long again, and for the first time, a deep fear appeared in his eyes!
If Qin Long was just a commander who was proficient in tactical arrangements, Chu Yunfei would naturally not be afraid.
On the contrary, he admired Qin Long very much!
But now, when Qin Long is commanding a battle, he is no longer just considering tactics but has begun to consider strategy!
That would make Chu Yunfei wary!
After all, in his opinion, there were indeed many tactical geniuses among the commanders of the Eighth Route Army, but there were really not many strategic talents...
So he could never think of it!
How could a district squad leader who hadn't received any systematic military training be so well-versed in strategic knowledge like the Great Detour?!
The key is that Qin Long can use it so skillfully!
The shock this brought to Chu Yunfei far exceeded that of the heavy artillery and tanks he had seen before!
However, although Qin Long's idea is very good, he can indeed do it with the mobility of his troops.
But Chu Yunfei felt that there was another very important point, that is, sufficient military force!
Or enough troop combat effectiveness!
"Brother Qin Long, your idea is excellent! If it can be successfully implemented, it will definitely deal a huge blow to the Japanese North China Front Army!"
Even if Chu Yunfei was afraid of Qin Long, he would not be stupid enough to show it at this time, so he affirmed Qin Long's strategic deployment with admiration.
But then Chu Yunfei raised the question he had just thought of:
"But! Brother Qin Long, have you ever considered that the military force required to successfully implement this idea must be enormous!"
"So I really want to know, how many people are there in your team?"
"Brother Qin Long, if you don't have enough troops, I can also apply to the higher-ups and go back to transfer more troops. But I'm afraid that the combined forces of our two sides won't be enough..."
Although Chu Yunfei asked this question, he seemed to be taking the opportunity to find out the true strength of Qin Long's team.
But now it is a pre-war meeting, and the mission this time is so important, plus Chu Yunfei came here under the pretext of learning and observing.
So even if Lao Li, Fang Zhengming, and Chen Wu were dissatisfied with Chu Yunfei, they couldn't say anything...
And to be honest, Fang Zhengming and Chen Wu were also quite curious about the true strength of Qin Long's team...
But no matter whether it was Lao Li, Fang Zhengming, Chen Wu or even Chu Yunfei, they would never have thought of it!
After listening to Qin Long's introduction of the Xiaoyangcun District team's current true strength, they were all completely dumbfounded...
