The great battle had begun, and all the units were engaged in engagement with the Japanese, except for the former 28th Regiment, which was still in a truce. On the evening of June 29, Fang Xianjue called Mr. Ge and inquired about the situation of the 28th Regiment of Zengjing.
Ge Xiancai said: It has not been used yet, but the regiment has been given a task.
Fang Xianjue was immediately furious: I told you that as a reserve unit of the division, the use of the reserve unit must go through my unification, why did you use it without authorization?
Fang Xianjue and Ge Xiancai's personal relationship was very deep, when he was in the 3rd Division, Fang Xianjue was the commander of the Fang Battalion, Ge Xiancai was the deputy battalion commander, Fang Xianjue was the regimental commander, Ge Xiancai was also the deputy regimental commander, and the two of them were partners along the way.
At this time, Ge Xiancai was also angry: I haven't finished speaking, Commander, do you know what task I gave them? In this regard, there is a difference between giving tasks and using them, the reserve unit is set up for the purpose of increasing the number of personnel, and I have my way of playing in this battle, and I ask the commander everywhere for instructions, what do I want this division commander to do?
Ge Xiancai hung up the phone like this, and then no matter what he thought on the phone, he just wouldn't answer it now.
Not long after, Sun Mingyu, chief of staff of the army, ran to the Wuxian Temple, saw Ge Xiancai, and said: The military commander and you have been partners in life and death for more than ten years, and they are still fighting for righteousness, and there are any problems that cannot be solved.
Ge Xiancai said: Whoever loses his temper first, the military commander himself knows. I was just angry with him, and before things could figure out, I lost my temper. In short, the commander is not wrong, and I am not wrong. He was the commander of an army and wanted to control a little more of the contingency, which I could understand. But I am the commander of this position, and I must complete two tasks, kill more enemies and hold the position. These two objectives can be achieved thanks to the use of troops, flexibility, speed and correctness.
Later, Ge Xiancai told Sun Mingyu that the Japanese army's firepower was excellent, and the soldiers bravely charged and stabilized, which was completely the appearance of the usual training norms. But the enemy has the advantage of firepower, the defenders have ingenious fortifications, the enemy is brave and courageous, but the enemy's stability, we can not catch up, so I can only work stability.
If you want to stabilize, the key lies in the use of the reserve team. Now the 9 infantry companies of the reserve are evenly distributed behind the positions, and the heavy machine gun companies and mortar companies of each battalion are placed in the preset positions behind the main positions. When the enemy breaks through the position or there are no reinforcements after the breakthrough, the reserve that controls the area can automatically retrograde under the cover of heavy fire, and when the enemy is exhausted, unguarded, retake the position in one fell swoop. When reinforcements arrive, they will return the position to the rest.
After Sun Mingyu listened: I did not dare to comment, but I taught a lesson, after all, I am a veteran of the battlefield, the use of clever, sincerely admired, I went back to report to the military commander.
Later, Ge Xian recalled this incident and said: I don't care about these superficial vanities, I am confident that I can be responsible for the top and the bottom, and the top and bottom should not be unreasonable to me. Usually I am very good at talking, but when I go to the battlefield, no one can shake my determination, when it is time to sacrifice, even I will not hesitate to sacrifice, when I should not sacrifice, the hair on my soldier's body can not let him sacrifice a single one, Ge Xiancai I am brave, a person can not use thousands of weapons at the same time, but also depends on the soldiers.
Sun Mingyu, after going back, saw that Fang Xianjue was still sulking, so he repeated Ge Xiancai's words.
Fang Xianjue said: This Ge Xiancai, he will not be comfortable without my two sentences, you call him now, just say that I order him to use the reserve team well, if there is any difference in his position at the end, ask him to raise his head to see.
After Ge Xiancai received Sun Mingyu's call, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and just after putting down the phone, the ringtone rang again, and it was from Zeng Jing of the 28th Regiment.
Zeng Jing asked: Commander, the battle has been fought for three days, the casualties of those two regiments are not small, my 28th Regiment has not yet been on the battlefield, if this battle is over, it has not yet been our turn to go to the position, there will be a loss of face.
Ge Xiancai replied: After the fight, you will wait, there is a time when you can't look forward to it!
It turned out that when Ge Xiancai called Fang Tianjie, he had divided the former reserve team and only gave it a task, not yet used it. With the development of the war, Chen Dekun's 30th Regiment suffered a lot of casualties, and when Zeng Jing asked for battle, he took the opportunity to make a new deployment, decided that the division headquarters was in reserve, and all the troops of the three regiments were allocated to the front and rear two-line positions.
