Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Chapter 57: Wen Cheng’s choice, the guerrilla army is established

After the meeting, on the way back to their respective troop bases.

The commander of the 40th Army, Wen Cheng, called He Daming over directly.

"Master He, wait a moment."

When He Daming heard his army commander calling him, he immediately stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Army commander, what's the matter?"

Wen Cheng pulled He Daming aside.

"Daming, I was really worried about you just now. Fortunately, you understood my hint. Commander Shen is different from Commander Cheng. He is notorious for being stubborn. If you had said the wrong thing just now, you might have been accused of disobeying military orders."

He Daming naturally understood that what Wen Cheng said was true. He looked at him with gratitude.

"Thank you, Commander. I did want to give you some advice. If it weren't for your suggestion, I would have told you the truth."

Wen Cheng heard He Daming's explanation and patted him on the back.

"Daming, I'm curious about what you originally wanted to say. Also, do you have any different opinions on Zhisi's combat arrangements this time?"

He Daming immediately expressed his true opinion.

“Commander, in fact, although our volunteer army has several times more people than the US Joint Forces and our equipment level is barely on par with that of the enemy, our army’s supplies are still inferior to those of the enemy.

If we fight a positional warfare with the enemy now, our army's combat experience and tactics in this area are not as sophisticated as theirs. You must know that the US Joint Forces are masters of positional warfare, while our Volunteer Army has been using small, fast and flexible tactics since 46.

Directly changing the tactics may not achieve any good results during use. The most important thing is that it is a head-on confrontation, and the war is about logistics supply. The US Joint Forces not only have more food, ammunition, and tanks, they are not afraid of fighting positional warfare with us. I think the change in the combat method this time will make our Volunteer Army fall into a difficult battle. "

Army commander Wen Cheng was listening with great interest. In fact, he also felt at the beginning that the change of tactics by the Zhisi was indeed inappropriate.

"Okay, Daming, you actually think the same as I do. I guess Commander Wu of the 39th Army probably thinks the same as we do.

Come, follow me now and go find him together."

...................

Then, the commander of the 40th Army, Wen Cheng, brought the acting commander of the 120th Division, He Daming, to the garrison of the 39th Army and met with the commander of the army, Wu Xingquan, at the army command post.

Wu Xingquan was surprised to see the commander of the 40th Army coming to him, so he took the initiative to ask,

"Old Wen, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Wen Cheng: "Old Wu, you are here for the battle plan proposed by Zhisi."

Then he glanced at He Daming standing beside him.

He Daming understood what he meant and immediately repeated to Wu Xingquan what he had said before.

After hearing He Daming's opinions, Wu Xingquan, commander of the 39th Army, fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke,

"Old Wen, to be honest, I have considered what Commander He said, but we are just two commanders of the Right Route Army, and you and I both know Commander Shen's personality. Even if they go to him again, he will definitely reject it. Rather than feel uncomfortable, I think we should just forget it."

When Wen Cheng heard what Wu Xingquan said, he had different ideas.

"Old Wu, you are the commander of the ace army. You usually have the most strategies. How can you have such an idea? As the chief officer of an army, we naturally want to win the entire battle at the lowest cost. Since Commander Shen won't listen, let's contact the Zhisi and see what they say.

At most, we will be punished for reporting to a higher level, but this concerns the lives of nearly 39 soldiers in our 40th and 10th Armies, so this is not a joke."

After hearing what Wen Cheng said, Wu Xingquan thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and decided.

"Okay, Lao Wen, let's go for it. I'll report to Zhisi with you."

........................................

As the commanders of the 39th and 40th armies jointly reported this problem to the Zhisi, the leaders of the Zhisi paid great attention to it. However, the battle was about to begin and the combat plan could not be changed. However, the Zhisi additionally authorized the two armies to act at their own discretion and conduct guerrilla warfare and infiltration without affecting the overall combat plan.

Although this feedback did not meet the expectations of Wen Cheng and Wu Xingquan, it attracted the attention and instructions of the Zhisi, which made them more flexible and adaptable in the next battle. Otherwise, if they left their defense zone without authorization to fight, it would be considered disobeying military orders and they would be brought to a military court.

Now with Zhisi's decision, they can at least carry out tactical infiltration.

Afterwards, Wen Cheng and Wu Xingquan began to discuss who would lead the guerrilla force, and finally decided to let the 40th Army serve as the guerrilla force.

As for the commander of the right wing army, Shen Lun also received the telegram from the Zhisi immediately.

When he learned that the 40th Army under his command had become a guerrilla army independent of their right-wing army, his face turned dark.

He was not a fool. He must have understood that the commander of the 40th Army must have made strategic adjustments and applications to Zhisi without his knowledge and successfully convinced the other party.

This made him quite unhappy, after all, he was the commander of the right wing army.

What does Wen Cheng of the 40th Army mean now? Isn't this a slap in his own face?

.................

Wen Cheng took He Daming back to the base of his 40th Army, and then had further discussions at the army command post.

At this time, the commander of the 118th Division Zheng Yue, the commander of the 119th Division Xu Shijie, and the acting commander of the 120th Division He Daming were all here.

Army Commander Wen Cheng presided over this meeting.

"Everyone, now our 40th Army has separated from the right-wing army and has become a guerrilla army fighting on the western front. Our mission is to assist friendly forces in breaking through the defenses of the US coalition forces as much as possible. Our mission is to penetrate and divide, like a sharp knife piercing the vital points of the US coalition forces.

Now let's discuss our first step of the battle plan. At present, the first target of our right-wing army is Huachuan in the south, but our target is definitely not this. Do you have any good ideas and opinions? You can bring them up. "
