After a pause, Yang Jing seemed to be a little thirsty, he picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip, and then continued: "Soldiers are the devils!

When our strength is far less than the other party, we must learn to win by surprise!

The reason why the Battle of Shanxi ended in our army's miserable defeat was that the commander of our army was too rigid.

Especially some generals during the Northern Expedition continued to use the old tactics.

These tactics are useful to the old warlords in the past, but they are a bit outdated for enemies like the Japanese army with modern armored forces and aviation forces."

As he said that, Yang Jing came to the sand table next to him and said to Ma Haifeng: "Let's go to a sand table military flag to deduce. We will take the Japanese army to attack, and you will take the garrison defense!"

"yes!"

Ma Haifeng nodded.

Yang Jing pointed at the rake ears next to him, Fan Tietou and others said: "You have carefully watched the next war chess deduction!"

"yes!"

Everyone nodded and immediately surrounded him.

The sand table military chess deduction begins.

In less than a minute, Ma Haifeng lost.

No matter what, he is also a serious and professional. Even though he knows that he will not defeat Yang Jing, he should not have lost so quickly.

So, Ma Haifeng, who was unwilling to fail, had a second showdown with Yang Jing.

6 minutes.

This time, Yang Jing took only 6 minutes to completely tear open his defense line.

Sweat began to appear on Ma Haifeng's forehead.

The third match ended with his crushing defeat.

In 5 minutes, he was killed by Yang Jing so that his armor was gone.

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Come on, this time you will take the Japanese army to attack, I will defend!"

"good!"

Ma Haifeng sorted out his thoughts and vowed to defeat Yang Jing in the offense to regain the face he had just lost.

Unfortunately, he made the mistake in his wishful thinking.

fail!

fail!

Still failed...

"Why?"

Ma Haifeng looked confused. The defense failed because the Japanese army was more combat-effective.

However, when attacking, he was obviously stronger, so why did he end up in failure?

Yang Jing's eyes swept over everyone present: "Have you all watched the war chess performance carefully?"

"Um!"

Everyone nodded.

Yang Jing said: "Then let's review it again now, you all have to listen carefully."

"As a weak party, when choosing a position to deploy a defense line, we cannot blindly pursue dangerous terrain.

Unless this terrain is enough to smooth out the strength gap between the enemy and us, you will definitely be the one who fails!

Because, as the offensive side, they can also know where the terrain is dangerous, where it is suitable for defense, and how to defend.

Then, the offensive is convenient and can be formulated according to local conditions and appropriate offensive strategies.

In this way, it means that the initiative is completely in the hands of the attacking party!

Due to the limitations of the terrain, the defense party cannot make flexible and effective changes. The attacking party can only tear open the defense line bit by bit, and then the entire army will be defeated!"

After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "As the defensive party, we should indeed defend according to the danger. However, we do not have to defend according to the most dangerous terrain, but based on the enemy's unexpected dangerous terrain.

When necessary, you can even give up the dangerous terrain in exchange for the initiative in the offensive and win by surprise!”

"This is why Ma Haifeng is not as good as a defensive or an offensive party!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The reason why Yang Jing said so much was to cultivate their military command capabilities so that he could become a military commander who would stand alone after leaving him in the future.

After a few minutes, it will be almost the same for everyone to digest.

Yang Jing came to the huge battle map hanging on the wall and continued to speak: "Come on, you can analyze where the garrison troops should be deployed according to the current situation."

Everyone said something, and I began to give my own opinions.

Yang Jing nodded quite satisfied. According to previous military chess deductions, Ma Haifeng, Rae Erduo, and Fan Tietou and others' military command capabilities have been significantly improved.

When he heard something he was dissatisfied with, Yang Jing reminded him at the right time and gave appropriate explanations and suggestions.

...

It's seven o'clock in the evening.

Yang Jing re-drawed a defense map based on the troops and the elements in the defense war mastery.

Then, a detailed explanation of this defense map was made.

Finally, he put away the map and said to Rai Ear: "Rai Ear, you have to work hard tonight. Be sure to send this defense map to the garrison headquarters as quickly as possible.

And inform the commanders of the headquarters to arrange troops based on this defense map!

Later, I will send a message to the headquarters to report the situation.”

"Yes! The team will ensure that the task is completed!"

Rake ears put away the defense map handed over by Yang Jing, held his feet attentively, and raised his hand to salute.

Yang Jing nodded and patted Rai's ears on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work!"

...

After Rae'er left the regiment headquarters, he immediately took a few guards out of the west gate with a military car, walked to Luomashan and headed straight for Pukou.

After leaving, Yang Jing immediately sent a telegram to the garrison headquarters in his name.

Yangzhou City is 200 miles away from Nanjing, and it is also necessary to cross the Yangtze River from Pukou.

Therefore, when Rae Erduo arrived at the Nanjing Garrison Command, it was already two o'clock the next morning.

At that time, Tang Mengxiao, Luo Youqing, Liu Tiefu and other senior leaders of the headquarters had already fallen asleep.

However, because of receiving Yang Jing's telegram in advance, Tang Mengxiao specifically instructed the staff on duty to wake them up immediately once they raked their ears to the headquarters.

So, Rake Ears just sat down in the war room for a few minutes.

Tang Mengxiao, Luo Youqing and others rushed over from outside one after another.

After Rae'er stood up and saluted, and briefly introduced himself, he held talks with the officers about the defense map given by Yang Jing.

Many of the senior officers in the garrison headquarters were old officers. Their tactical ideas were quite conservative and backward, and they advocated the risk of defending the situation. They believed that Yang Jing's defense was quite risky, so they held a negative attitude.

The commander of the garrison army, Tang Mengxiao, is a representative figure.

He believed that the previous combat system should be followed, and the advantageous terrain should be used to protect the city.

After the officers were almost controversial, Rai ear then held his glasses and said, "Sir, I'll analyze for you now. The advantages of this defense map of our regiment..."

Because Rake Ears is a member of the Song family, his father and many elders hold important positions in the Republic of China government.

In addition, Rake Ears is a representative sent by Yang Jing.

Therefore, even though Rake's ears were just a small major officer, Tang Mengxiao and others still gave him a chance to speak.

After 0 minutes, when Rake's ears finished the talk, the war room suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Some opposition parties also seem to think that Yang Jing's set of defense has many advantages.

The supporters have already begun to deduce in their minds. If they deploy defense according to Yang Jing's plan, can they really defeat the Japanese army by surprise?

After a while, Deputy Commander Luo Youqing took the lead and said, "I think although Captain Yang's combat plan seems a bit risky, it is still a feasible plan."

"Yeah! It's really feasible!"

Some senior officers and headquarters combat staff nodded one after another.

Tang Mengxiao still hesitated and said, "Everyone, have you ever considered that if we follow Yang Jing's combat plan, we will give up the most favorable terrain.

Once the Japanese army launches an attack, it will be even more unstoppable!"

Luo Youqing said: "Sir, judging from the situation of yesterday's battle, the battle plan that was dangerously defended was undoubtedly a failure.

First of all, as Yang Jing said, times have changed. In the era of cold weapons, it is indeed the safest way to defend the weak side by taking risks.

But now it is different. The Japanese army has air control and can launch an attack from the air. Moreover, the Japanese artillery power is far greater than that of our army. Therefore, no matter how strong the fortifications and the favorable terrain are, they are not enough to block the attack of Japanese aircraft and cannons.
