The beacon of youth

After the two attacks, Usman's starting camp was in chaos. The bloody battle scene made the bandits who were used to looting tremble with fear.

At noon, the leaders of all walks of life were summoned to Usman's big tent. Dozens of bandit leaders discussed countermeasures together. The tent was filled with smoke and depressed, so that there were very few meats on the table. Go ahead, the bandit leaders have everything to say, one said: "The communist army is really hard to deal with, I finally know why the Seventh Cavalry Division and Yilier were eaten."

Obviously, the initial reconnaissance work of the gangsters was not in place, and they did not have a more realistic judgment on the People's Liberation Army guarding Yiwu. They were naive or stupid to think that 10,000+ people, what kind of concept is that, as long as one It is enough to surround them, scare the opponent even if they are scared, and even trample down the small town of Yiwu with horseshoes, but it is counterproductive. The surrounded People's Liberation Army was not frightened. Shocked.

Intelligence, intelligence, and intelligence at critical moments are indeed very important, almost to the point of winning or losing a battle, but the gangsters have limited knowledge of the People's Liberation Army. They only found out that the garrison is a brigade, and all other so-called known information is probably unknown. It was based on conjecture and comparison with other PLA units. Now it seems that everything seems to be very different.

Usman knew that Yao Lebosi's wife, Feng Mengli, was a military spy and had more sources of information than himself. On the surface, he said in a sincere tone: "Mr. Yao Lebosi, you have been dealing with the Han people for a long time. Is there any introduction to this communist army in your intelligence system?"

Yao Lebosi snorted to himself: "Huh, this idiot, he really doesn't cry when he sees the coffin. Now that he has suffered a lot, he knows that he asked me for information. What did he do?"

I thought so in my heart, but it turned into another way of saying in my mouth: "Commander, victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs, so don't worry. I counted the numbers. Our specific casualties are about a few thousand people. Although It can't be considered small, but compared with our total strength, these casualties are nothing. The important thing is morale. Our morale has been hit. Therefore, we must find ways to boost the morale of the warriors and get back the warriors of the prairie courage."

Yao Lebosi's words were very euphemistic.What it actually means is that the attacking bandits will be frightened out of their courage.It is better to find ways to encourage soldiers not to be afraid of the People's Liberation Army on the opposite position than to engage in intelligence about the Communist Army.Only in this way can we have the strength to fight again. His wife Feng Mengli also replied at the right time:

"Commander, our intelligence system needs to pass through Taiwan. I will send a report to Taiwan immediately. The Taiwan side will also contact the personnel lurking on the mainland, and they will collect and sort out the intelligence of the Communist Army. Then it will be reported to the Taiwan headquarters. The headquarters sent it to me, and I can't directly contact the latent personnel, and the specific situation may not come out until tomorrow at the earliest."

At the earliest, it will not come out until tomorrow.This is already the best result, but time waits for no one. What the Usman gang lacks most now is time. You can imagine with your heels that they have made such a big noise. Yiwu marched in a hurry, and the first day's attack on Yiwu passed in such a disheveled manner. You can tell from the appearance of the bandits that it is impossible to organize a large-scale attack. The demoralized bandits have no battle left. Heart.

The bandit leaders who came to the meeting sat in a big tent, and all of them were downcast and listless. They had long since lost the excitement they had when they set off from Badashi. Wu Siman twisted his face and shouted: "What's wrong with you? Did you kiss me dead? We were still scared out of courage by the Communist army, we have only fought for one day, we have not lost yet, and we still have at least three days to attack, should we just give up like this?"

The bandit leaders were trained to be speechless, and even if they had a reason, they dared not speak out. Usman, who was furious, might find someone to vent his anger on the dead ghost.

It was Yao Lebosi who stood up to smooth things over: "Commander, the communist army's firepower is very fierce, but we also made mistakes. The second attack launched today has rushed to only one or two hundred meters away from the communist army's position. But they were beaten back again, which shows that our follow-up attack capabilities are insufficient, and we have not been able to exert continuous pressure on the Communist defense forces."

"Since you have sincere suggestions, sir, please speak up."

Usman still gave Yao Le Bosi a lot of face in front of the bandit leader, because there was no way for him to let his wife get in touch with Taiwan's spy system. In many ways, he still had to count on Yao Le Bosi, the so-called The chairman of the government came forward.

Yao Lebos is a little bit complacent, don't think that you Wu Siman is the commander-in-chief of appeasement appointed by President Jiang, and I am the chairman of the government. What's wrong with the chairman of the government?Regardless of whether it is a civil service system, it can also manage the military, and commanding wars is no worse than you, an old bandit.

Yao Lebosi himself is a member of the bandits, but this guy once served in the government of the Kuomintang, subconsciously always regards himself as orthodox, and somewhat looks down on Usman, who is purely a bandit. Thinking of this, Yao Lebosi cleared his throat, and spoke the truth in a cadenced manner:

"Brothers, I think so. The advantage of the Communist Army lies in its firepower and pre-set minefields, and we also suffer from this. Therefore, I think that in order to break the advantage of the Communist Army, the only way to solve the problem is to prescribe the right medicine. "

Yao Lebosi's speech aroused the interest of many people. Others were at a loss, but he, who did not understand military affairs, said that he should prescribe the right medicine.

Some bandit leaders couldn't wait to ask: "How can we prescribe the right medicine, sir, please explain clearly."

"Use continuous attacks to weaken the firepower of the communist army. As for the minefields, there is no way. Can we use a large number of horses to go to the mines, and the soldiers follow the horses to attack. A dead horse is better than a dead man." There are too many, you see how this method works.”

"Okay, Mr. Yao Lebosi's suggestion is very good, let's use war horses to land mines ahead."

The bandit leaders sitting here are clamoring, because no matter what suggestions and methods there are, they are the leaders who lead the troops to fight in the end, and it is extremely dangerous to lead the charge. With the horses in front, not only can the Communist Party Clearing up the landmines laid by the army can also block the bullets fired by the Communist army, which is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

A smug expression hung on Yao Lebosi's face involuntarily. He also knew that he should restrain himself a little, and don't act so eye-catching, but when the opportunity came, he couldn't cover it even if he wanted to. You, old man Usman, aren't you? Let me make a suggestion, I will make one for you to see.

Wu Siman's face was so dark that he was about to get out of water. It was obvious that Yao Lebosi was trying to win people's hearts, but it was undeniable that the suggestion made by this guy was indeed reasonable. A good way.

In order to show his magnanimity, Usman suppressed his anger:

"Since everyone agrees with Mr. Yao Lebosi's suggestion, let's plan a specific method around this suggestion. If you brothers have any good ideas, speak up, and I, Usman, will definitely follow suit."

In front of the crowd, Usman didn't want to act like a bandit, but instead made a Han Chinese sentence called "be kind like a liar."

The chaotic meeting lasted from noon to night. Finally, a so-called attack plan was finally released. The specific method is:

First, starting from the next morning, a decisive attack on Yiwu will be carried out. The attacking team will be divided into multiple batches, charging in turn one after another, without giving the PLA on the ground any breathing time.

Second, put a large number of war horses in front of the charge team, let the war horses clean up the minefields of the communist army, and at the same time act as the first wave of attack.

Third, while attacking from the east, west, and south directions, we must not give up the assault on the Beishan position. We must use troops to carry out a sneak attack on the Communist army's Beishan position. The defensive force prevented this part of the communist army from supporting other positions.

The solution is found, but there is still a difficulty. Who will lead the team to attack the Beishan position? These bandits know that the Beishan must be defended by the People's Liberation Army. Such a high mountain, let alone attacking, even climbed up. With great strength, the defensive side can easily shoot on the mountain.

This was a hard job, and the bandit leaders in the tent all lowered their heads, not daring to look Usman in the eyes.

The quiet scene made one angry, and this guy shouted loudly: "Commander, I am willing to lead a team to attack the Communist Army's Beishan position."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person speaking was Usman's nephew Habulibali.

This kid is Usman's nephew, and also a famous fighter. He is brutal and arrogant. He has fought against the People's Liberation Army several times and has never suffered a loss. Therefore, this guy does not have the fear of the People's Liberation Army that other bandits have. On the contrary, he was very impatient with the bandit leaders who came to the meeting, thinking that this group of people were all worthless wretches.

Habulibali, who stood up and asked for the task, didn't look at these leaders, and said to Usman with his chest up and his head up:

"Commander, I am willing to lead my troops into battle. If there is no result, I will come and see you."

Wu Siman is happy, this is called morale, look at my men, the elite is the elite.

The bandit leader, Wu Siman, still had confidence. Although the two failed attacks had killed thousands of people, they were only injured. (To be continued..)
