Delaying time?

As soon as Qi Tongwei said this, Shen Junzhuang felt that it coincided with his own thoughts.

He immediately said, "Staff Officer Qi, please continue."

Qi Tongwei straightened up and continued:

"It's obvious that this attack on our patrol force was most likely a test by the other side."

"He just wants to see how we react. I believe that once they are fully prepared, there will definitely be more action."

"Now they are negotiating with us on the surface, but they are actually making preparations behind the scenes."

After listening to Qi Tongwei's analysis and combining it with the known intelligence, everyone present suddenly had an epiphany.

Second Battalion Commander Xie Fang immediately said:

"What Staff Officer Qi said makes sense. They are building fortifications in the disputed area while mobilizing troops from the rear."

"I think their target is this disputed area."

After hearing what the two said, the regiment commander Shen Junzhuang's hot temper was suddenly ignited.

He slammed the table and said:

"They dared to target Area 500. We were willing to put aside our differences and patrol together for so many years. That was a testament to their kindness."

"If they really want to occupy this area, they should first ask our Tigers for permission."

"What's wrong with one division on the opposite side? I'm not afraid of them even if another division comes."

At this time, the political commissar Yu Guangsheng, who had been silent, spoke up:

"Old Shen, don't get excited."

Everyone in the Southwest Military Region knew that the commander of the Tiger Regiment, Shen Junzhuang, had a hot temper.

Political Commissar Yu Guangsheng is a careful and patient person.

Therefore, the superiors arranged two people to form a team, which can be regarded as complementary.

Yu Guangsheng slowly said:

"We are not afraid of fighting, but we cannot fight mindlessly."

"First, we need to figure out why this opponent suddenly wants to take over the disputed area 500."

As he spoke, he stood up and pointed to the map on the display screen and said:

"This area is disputed. It's a historical issue."

"We've been living in peace for so many years, why are they suddenly paying more attention to this place?"

"I believe our superiors will definitely make their own judgment, and the order they gave us was to strictly monitor and not to fire the first shot without orders."

"So we can't take any action until we receive new orders."

"My great political commissar."

After hearing Yu Guangsheng's words, Shen Junzhuang lost his patience again.

"You heard what Staff Officer Qi said just now, and the intelligence also shows that they are making preparations."

"If we don't take the initiative, we will be passive when the time comes."

Yu Guangsheng immediately retorted:

"Captain, we can't just take action just because the other side makes a move."

"If this happens, we'll be passive in terms of public opinion. We might even fall into the other party's trap, don't you know?"

"I don't care about public opinion or not."

Shen Junzhuang waved his hand and said directly:

"I am a soldier, and my only responsibility is to defend my country."

"Even if we don't cross the border, we must first remove the fortifications they have built in the disputed area."

"Putting a nail under my nose makes me upset."

"Old Shen, can you please calm down a little?"

Yu Guangsheng also stood up from his seat and said tit for tat:

"Without orders from your superiors, you cannot take any action."

"If I don't do this properly, it might ruin the plans and arrangements of our superiors. Do you understand?"

Shen Junzhuang wanted to say something, but he knew he couldn't win an argument with Yu Guangsheng.

I could only look at Qi Tongwei and say:

"Staff Officer Qi, tell me what you think."

"Political Commissar Yu and I, who do you support?"

From the moment the two started arguing, everyone else just sat there in silence.

It seems like they are used to quarreling as soon as they have a meeting.

After listening to the two people's ideas, Qi Tongwei also understood why his superiors arranged Yu Guangsheng and Shen Junzhuang to work together.

If it weren't for Yu Guangsheng, Shen Junzhuang would probably do anything.

No wonder Shen Junzhuang has a nickname called Shen Dadan.

Some situations are not fully understood yet, so we want to take preemptive action.

However, after listening to the two people's words, Qi Tongwei already had his own analysis in his mind.

When all eyes were on him, Qi Tongwei spoke slowly and calmly:

"Captain Shen is right. Some things must be done first."

"Look, I said Lao Qi still understands me."

When Shen Junzhuang heard this, he immediately laughed.

"I think we can pee in the same pot, haha."

Qi Tongwei quickly interrupted him.

"Captain Shen, don't get excited. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

"What Political Commissar Yu said makes sense. We can't act rashly."

Hearing this, Shen Junzhuang rolled his eyes.

"You are being a good guy, not offending anyone."

Qi Tongwei smiled and did not rush to explain, but asked:

"Captain Shen, as you said, striking first is the best strategy. Let me ask you, how do you plan to do it?"

Shen Junzhuang immediately walked to the sand table and said:

"There is an infantry division deployed in this area."

"The disputed area is a river valley, and they only have one company at most to build fortifications."

"Although our regiment's artillery company hasn't arrived yet, I'm confident that I can defeat them with just one company and take down their bunker."

"If the troops they deployed on the mountain dare to support us, I will kill them as well."

Qi Tongwei had no doubt about the strength of the Tiger Regiment.

If one company can defeat the other company, it is easy.

However, he had a different opinion, so Qi Tongwei stood up and walked to the sand table.

"Captain Shen, what if the enemy has artillery deployed here?"

"The enemy's heavy artillery can cover this area."

"This……"

Hearing this, Shen Junzhuang was speechless.

After all, their artillery is not in place yet.

"We have no intelligence yet that they have deployed artillery here."

Qi Tongwei smiled and said:

"Just because we don't have intelligence doesn't mean the other side doesn't have deployments. We can't gamble."

"Besides, the enemy's armored forces are gathering in the rear. If we can't win the battle quickly, it will be very disadvantageous to us."

After listening to Qi Tongwei's analysis, Shen Junzhuang was speechless.

At this moment, he had to admit that his thinking was indeed a bit simple.

At present, the rear support and artillery are not in place. If the scale of the battle expands, it will indeed be disadvantageous.

Qi Tongwei continued, "Political Commissar Yu just said that the other party is very likely deliberately provoking us and luring us to take action first."

"This way they take the initiative in public opinion, and we become passive."

The well-reasoned analysis impressed everyone present.

Yu Guangsheng also looked at Qi Tongwei with admiration and couldn't help but praise:

"Staff Officer Qi is indeed from the General Staff. He explained the issue clearly and in a simple and clear manner."
