Chapter 1065 Give me two hours to capture Oil City!(1/2)

After Wang De's words, Zhou Sheng nodded and said: "I agree, Marshal, we are not very fast these days, but the weather is too cold."

"We must capture this oil city as soon as possible. After obtaining the oil, rest for a while, use this as a base to spy on the Da Zhangshu base, and slowly map it out."

Sima Xi is also much more serious today.

Although he is a bit absurd and unruly, he is not a fool.

There's going to be a big war soon, and it's about his future destiny, so he must be careful!

He frowned and looked at the map, then asked Wang De: "How long will it take you to take down that oil city?"

Wang De has never been to Oil City, and he doesn't know what the situation is like in Oil City.

But he understood the power of those mortars and howitzers, so he said:

"As long as you give me the cannon team, I can take it down in two hours!!"

"Two hours!"

"Okay!" Sima Xi threw down the pencil in his hand and said excitedly: "As you said, I will give you three hours to capture the Oil City!"

Wang De immediately stood upright and said: "Promise to complete the task!"

"But before that, I hope you can lend me your helicopter for a while. I want to investigate the oil city from the air."

When Sima Xi heard him talking about helicopters, the expression on his face suddenly disappeared.

There is only one helicopter, and for him it is his lifeblood.

He specifically asked Mu Yang to pilot this helicopter because Mu Yang was one of his subordinates before the end of the world and he trusted him enough.

He never let anyone get his hands on this helicopter.

Because once the most critical moment comes, this helicopter is his life-saving talisman and can take him out of danger at any time.

After hesitating for a while, he said: "The target in the air of the helicopter is too big. Didn't you say we want to launch a blitz? Just launch an attack directly after the convoy passes. There is no need for reconnaissance, not to mention Zhou Sheng's advance team can go over and help you investigate.

What’s the situation!”

When Wang De heard what Sima Xi said, he was so angry that he still didn't want to take out the helicopter.

The expression on his face changed again and again.

But he knew that this was not the time for him to rebel. Although he was the commander-in-chief now, it was only temporary after all.

Although he has the most people and power in his hands, he cannot dominate the sky with one hand.

Chu Zhao of the second team, Wang Kui of the third team was in charge of the artillery team, and Zhou Sheng of the advance team. If they all joined forces, they would not be able to resist.

So I had to say: "Okay..."

"Then how about the commander's battle plan:

Tomorrow morning Zhou Sheng led an advance team to explore the situation. The day after tomorrow the large force arrived at Oil City as quickly as possible and surrounded it. After encircling it, they immediately launched an artillery attack.

We tore a hole in their wall and finally let the armored convoy enter to eliminate the remaining people in Oil City."

Just as Sima Xi was about to nod, Chu Zhao, the captain of the second team who had been silent, spoke up.

"I don't think it's appropriate. The expedition team we sent out before didn't come back. It's very likely that they were caught. That means they must be being followed. They may have known about it before the large force arrived there.

If we continue as before and the advance team arrives one day in advance, in case they are discovered, there will be a gap of one day, which is enough for the oil city to do too many things.

Captain Wang De, I agree with what you said about a quick victory, but I don’t think it’s appropriate if we let Zhou Sheng go there first tomorrow and we go the day after tomorrow.”

Wang De raised his eyebrows. He felt that Chu Zhao from the second team was looking for trouble.

I didn't say anything just now, I had to wait until the final word was reached, and I made it clear that I couldn't get along with him.

So Wang De raised his head, looked directly at Chu Zhao and asked: "Then what do you think? Tell me and let's listen."

Chu Zhao heard the thorn in Wang De's tone.

But he didn't care, ignored Wang De's eyes, and turned to Sima Xi and said:

"Commander, I suggest that the advance convoy set off tomorrow, followed by the large army two hours later, and launch an attack directly upon arrival!"

Suddenly the battle plan was revised to tomorrow, and Sima Xi hesitated for a while.

Zhou Sheng, who was sitting next to him, also fell into deep thought.

According to Chu Zhao's method, his role as the advance team is actually not as great as before.

If we go two hours in advance, we can at most detect the specific location of Oil City. As for other information, there is not enough time at all.

However, what Chu Zhao said has a certain truth to it. Just like what he said, this is called a blitzkrieg, and the opponent will not be able to react at all!

While he was deep in thought, Wang De sneered.

"If according to what you just said, the advance troops are easy to be discovered, then our main force should go there the day after tomorrow.

There are only a few people like Zhou Sheng and others, so even if they are discovered after passing by, they will think it is just these people and will relax their vigilance.

When the large troops pass by, they will be caught off guard."

"Ah this..."

Sima Xi was immediately confused.

Originally he thought the plan formulated by Wang De was quite good, but suddenly Chu Zhao's suggestion also seemed reasonable to him.

But what Wang De said now is correct.

What both of them said made sense... He didn't know who to listen to.

If you think about it carefully, the original intention of both of them was to capture Oil City as quickly as possible, but the point of dispute was whether the main force and the advance team should go there on the same day.

While Sima Xi was deep in thought, Wang De spoke again:

"Commander, we don't know the situation in Oil City, so we must let Zhou Sheng and the others go over to investigate. Otherwise, when the large troops arrive, they still don't know the situation clearly and it will be easy to cause chaos."

Chu Zhao retorted: "It's not that complicated, just push it sideways..."

....

The two got into a dispute again.

Sima Xi had a splitting headache. He slapped the table and said, "Stop arguing!"

He glanced at everyone, and finally looked across the crowd at Daley, who was pouring water.

So he asked: "Daly, what do you think?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Daley just made a movement in his hand, and he poured some water. Why did he call him...

In Sima Xi's mind, he knew that Wang De and Chu Zhao would not deal with each other, and there must be some selfish motives in their dispute.

It's better to let Daley, who is outside the combat team, give some advice.

Daley put down the water glass in his hand, his mind spinning wildly.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I think what they said is reasonable. The question is whether the advance team will be discovered. If the advance team is reduced, should we try to be more careful? Will it not be discovered?"

He did not directly answer the core dispute between the two, but gave an implicit nod.

Just as Dai Li finished speaking, Wang De nodded and said:

"What he said makes sense, Commander. Why don't we send fewer people from the advance team and try not to be discovered by them?"

Chu Zhao saw Sima Xi's somewhat moved expression and hesitated to speak.

Sure enough, Sima Xi said: "Okay, let's do it."

"Zhou Sheng, tomorrow morning you split up the advance team and bring two vehicles there. Anyway, there is no need to search for shelters like before. There are fewer people and smaller targets, making it harder to be discovered!"

When Zhou Sheng heard what Sima Xi said, he understood that Sima Xi still adopted Wang De's method, so he had no choice but to reply: "Okay, I will obey the command."

Sima Xi clapped his hands and relaxed his brows.

He said to everyone: "That's it. Zhou Sheng will take people there tomorrow. The large army will set off as quickly as possible the morning after tomorrow. Once they arrive at Oil City, they will immediately launch an attack!"

Sima Xi made the final decision and finalized the next battle plan.

The pre-war meeting ends.

Sima Xi took a sip of the water handed over by Daley.

Then he rubbed his eyebrows and said to Daley: "Am I too impulsive?"

Dai Li didn't understand what Sima Xi was talking about for a while.

Was it impulsive to go south? Or was it impulsive to have just finalized the battle plan?

Although he didn't understand it, he knew a truth.

That is when the leader asks, did I do something wrong? Shouldn’t I be doing this?

Similar to this kind of self-reflection inquiry, then directly answer: No, this should be done.

Because they are just a confirmation from you, not really asking for your opinion.

So Daley replied: "Commander, no, I think you are right to do this!"

After hearing Dai Li's reply, Sima Xi thought that he had done the right thing. Now he was recognized and became more determined in his thoughts.
