Chapter 4: Unimplemented Battles

The boss's residence is not far away, only about fifty meters away from my hut. He followed the guard for about a minute and arrived. He was searched outside the door, and then stepped into this room with a mysterious aura at the request of the guard.

When I stepped into the wooden house, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with what I saw, because the decorations in the wooden house were no different from the battlefield command center I usually saw. This formed a strong contrast with the strict guard outside the house, which made my head a little unsteady. It was like after going through a lot of hardships, I thought I could see a great scenery, but suddenly I found that I could still see something I could walk out of the door every day.

If you really want to say that there is a different place, it is that it is bigger than the battlefield command center, with more documents, and the people inside seem to be busy. Also... Each battlefield command post has more or less a smell of smoke, but there is no place. Not only does it have a trace of smoke but a few traces of tea fragrance.

The boss’s habit is that he does not smoke or drink, but because he grew up in the southern tea town, he loves to drink tea. It is said that sometimes he can’t buy tea, so he collects jujube leaves instead of tea and drinks it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. People's habits will eventually change, especially when they are suffering. Several years later, when the boss was still suffering from unjust grievances, he finally smoked.

"Little devil, come here..." The boss and several cadres were studying something in front of the map. When they saw me coming in, they waved their hands to me cordially, attracting the cadres in front of the map to look at me.

"Little devil!" I just stood beside the map, and the boss smiled: "You have just gotten off the battlefield, and from the first battle to the fifth battle, every field has not fallen, and they have played the American devils all the way around. We are the old guys who can't run away, so we can only talk about war on the map! How about it? Tell us about your combat experience and teach us old guys?"

With a coaxing sound, the boss's words made all the cadres and guards in the house laugh. For the first time, I felt the boss's approachability. Although he was the leader, he had no airs at all. He even spoke to me, a soldier, and even looked like asking for advice.

"Yes! Little comrade, let's talk!" An old cadre also continued, "Objectively speaking, the victory of this battle was not perfect. Especially in the stage of moving backwards, our army was once in a state of passive casualties. To correct the reasons, we think that the main reason is that we do not understand the enemy enough and plan carefully enough. The battle was a little more urgent, the battle was farther and the battle was a little bigger! We must study hard! Only with learning can we make progress, and only with progress can we better attack the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, my heart skipped a beat, and the word "Sixth Battle" quickly broke into my mind. After the Volunteer Army entered the court, the combat plan for the next battle before the end of each battle was basically formulated. Similarly, the combat plan for the sixth battle was also proposed before the end of the fifth battle. However, this battle did not start, one was because negotiations had begun politically, and the other was because of objective military conditions.

But now, due to my existence, the losses of the US military have greatly aggravated and the casualties of the volunteers have been reduced. This contrast between the two has given our army the conditions to launch the sixth battle in advance when the enemy is not yet firm. Now the boss and the others must be discussing this issue.

Thinking of this, I quickly saluted and replied: "Boss, dear leaders. Let me first talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy. The strength of our army is that we have strong fighting will, and our weakness is that we are not good at positional wars and our equipment is backward; on the contrary, the strength of the US military is that our equipment is advanced, while the weakness is that our fighting will be weak and the individual quality is poor. Therefore, what the US military is most afraid of is that logistics supply is threatened. Once the logistics supply of their large troops is cut off and there is no rush to replenish the airdrop, their tanks and cannons are likely to become a pile of scrap iron.

It is also the reason why the US military retreated on a large scale once threatened by threats! Our army is good at fighting sports wars, and the most common tactic is to intersperse behind enemy lines for division and siege. So although we did not have the experience of fighting with the US military at the beginning, we just attacked the enemy's shortcomings with our own strengths, and we fought the United Nations in a hurry. First, second, and third battles were all like this. Unfortunately, if it weren't for our poor equipment at that time and the US military's equipment was too advanced, the first three battles could have driven the Americans out of the sea."

"Yes!" The boss nodded thoughtfully: "We used the way we beat the Kuomintang to deal with the American devils as soon as we came up. I didn't expect that they just hit their point, and it looked a bit like a mistake!"

"We have never fought with the Americans before, so why are the Americans the same?" I continued: "We are a pair of strange enemies with the US military, and no one knows the strength of the opponent. We are fighting and learning on the battlefield, but the Americans are not? They are also learning, studying our strategies and tactics, and changing themselves accordingly to achieve the goal of defeating us on the battlefield. For example, since the Fourth Battle, the US military no longer uses roads as the offensive route, but maintains a complete front and advances smoothly, fighting each hill and each commanding height, as well as the magnetic tactics they use, and counterattacking when our military rations and bullets are about to be exhausted in seven days. These are the corresponding countermeasures made by the US military against our interweaving tactics!"

"Not bad!" Other cadres also nodded frequently and said, "Since the Fourth Battle, the Americans have become increasingly difficult to fight!"

"This shows that the US military has found a method to target our strengths, so strengths are no longer strengths!" I continued: "And the enemy's methods will be more and more, more and more perfect, and more comprehensive. With the improvement and progress of these tactics, if we continue to fight according to previous combat ideas, it will become more and more difficult to fight. The fifth battle is harder than the fourth battle, and the sixth battle will be harder than the fifth battle..."

Having said that, I was shocked by the boss and several cadres' eyes shooting at me like lightning: Oh no, the sixth battle is still secret at this time, how could I, a small soldier, know about the sixth battle! In a hurry, my head turned and quickly added another sentence to the back: "The seventh battle will definitely be even harder than the sixth battle!"

Just as I was thinking about whether to add another eighth battle to the back, I felt a little extravagant and wanted to cover up Mi Zhang, so I stopped talking. Looking at the boss and all the cadres, my faces were indeed relaxed and there was a smile. I was very sorry that I would say the sixth battle, but it was just like the first, second, third... so I said it casually! This is exactly what I hoped.

"This young comrade is right!" One of the cadres who had thin cheeks and always had a smile on his face replied: "According to the reconnaissance of our frontline soldiers, the US military will crazily build steel and cement fortifications every time we occupy a place, and our artillery fire is difficult to pose a threat to such fortifications. At present, the enemy already has strong and solid fortifications in depth, and it is modern three-dimensional defense of sea, land and air, and cannot be underestimated. For example, I attacked with my existing strength and equipment, and there were three results: one was to break through the enemy formation and partially annihilated the enemy; the second was to break through the enemy formation and drove away the enemy; the third was to withdraw from the battle without breaking through the enemy formation. No matter which result, casualties and consumption were very large, especially the latter was very unfavorable to our army."

"I agree with Commander Deng's point of view!" Another cadre continued: "Just as this young comrade said, if we continue to launch an offensive with the original tactics, we will still fight and push around like the fifth battle, and in the end, we will not be able to take any advantage except casualties. Moreover, as the US military's research on our tactics more thoroughly and their defenses are becoming more and more stringent, our casualties will probably be even greater!"

What? When I heard the "Commander Deng" in the cadre's words, I couldn't help but look at the unstable cadre and said in my heart: Oh my god! It turns out that he is Deng Hua, the commander of the 13th Corps. The Forty Army I used to be, is his unit that belongs to him! I also met the superiors of the superiors here... I can't count these superiors.

Thinking about it again, if he was the commander of the 13th Corps, then the other people must be much different... Thinking of this, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, so nervous that I never dared to speak again.

"Say, let's talk!" The boss rarely spoke. He seemed to feel that I was a little nervous and couldn't help but encourage him: "Little kid, I'm saying it very well! Let us old guys be enlightened!"

The cadres laughed again, and everyone looked at me with praise in their eyes, which made me feel confident again.

"Dear leaders!" I calmed down and plucked up the courage again and said, "Now we can't fight, because the Americans have long been familiar with our original tactics and have made corresponding preparations. If we fight according to the original tactics, it would be like hitting the enemy's gun. On the contrary, if the enemy leaves their positions and attacks us in large quantities, we can defeat them with our existing strength and seek partial annihilation, and the cost will not be very high."

"agree!"

"agree!"

...

Several cadres agreed with my opinion in unison, which made me feel inexplicably proud.
