Chapter 207 On Protracted War! 33 System!
Just then.
The office door to the conference room was pushed open, and Zhu Feng walked in with steady steps.
He looked around and saw the crowd arguing, but his eyes remained unmoved.
"Have you all argued enough?"
Zhu Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a kind of imposing, dignified air.
The meeting room fell silent instantly, and everyone turned their attention to the former head of national security.
"Old Zhao, your concerns are not unfounded!"
Zhu Feng walked to the sand table and gently tapped it with his finger.
"But Old Wang is right too, those thousand men under Zhang Fan's command!"
"They are definitely not special forces in the modern sense."
He picked up a baton, his gaze swept across the sand table, and he analyzed in a deep voice:
"Comrade Zhang Fan has a significant advantage in tactical thinking during this military exercise!"
"Tactical thinking is based on modern understanding of terrain, morale, and the chain of command."
He paused, then changed the subject:
"But we must also acknowledge that the Qin Dynasty was, after all, the Qin Dynasty!"
"The backwardness of communications and the limitations of soldier training are objective realities!"
"Completely copying modern special operations carries enormous risks."
The experts who had just been arguing nodded thoughtfully after hearing Zhu Feng's analysis.
"So, Director Zhu, what do you mean?"
One of the technicians couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Feng's gaze was deep.
He slowly walked to the bookshelf behind him and pulled out a simple red book with yellowed pages from the rows of modern military works.
That was a book called "On Protracted War".
He held the book, turned to face the crowd, and his eyes became sharp and determined.
"The methods of modern warfare are not entirely unusable, but they must be adapted to local conditions and the changing times!"
Zhu Feng's gaze fell on the sand table.
"This military exercise has lasted for several days, and all supplies and equipment are stored in the city walls!"
"If the two sides get into a stalemate, they will definitely fight over the food supplies in the building, which is their Achilles' heel."
He gently patted the red book in his hand and slowly began to speak.
"Perhaps we can find some inspiration from somewhere!"
There's a line in this book that goes something like this...
Instead of stating the content directly, he scanned each expert present, leaving them room to think.
"Despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically."
Army Colonel Zhao replied thoughtfully.
"Preserve yourselves, eliminate the enemy!"
Historian Lao Wang also muttered to himself.
Zhu Feng nodded!
He gently put down the book in his hand, and pointed his baton again at several key points on the drill ground map.
"One thousand against three thousand, we don't have superior numbers!"
"Therefore, we cannot fight a conventional positional war!"
"We must utilize the terrain, the psychology, and the darkness to wage a...mobile warfare!"
Everyone looked at the sand table and the screen, their eyes no longer filled with confusion and conflict.
Instead, it was a burning fighting spirit and unprecedented excitement.
"Yes, Director Zhu!"
"We will immediately conduct a new data simulation and analysis!"
"Inform Comrade Zhang Fan that the new tactical guidance plan will be sent out soon!"
……
The next day.
The military camp outside Xianyang City was bustling with activity early in the morning.
According to Qin law, three days before the military exercise, the participating troops would gather near the training ground.
Final adjustments and preparations are underway!
Fusu didn't sleep all night, his mind preoccupied with this matter.
One thousand against three thousand, this is simply unheard of!
He held the military treatise, turning it over and over, but he couldn't find any battle examples he could rely on.
Early morning.
He rushed to the military camp to see what his teacher's plan was.
As soon as we stepped into the camp, we heard a series of slogans.
Fusu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Fan, dressed in light armor, commanding the troops with great enthusiasm in a corner of the training ground.
This team has a very unique composition!
Each squad consists of three soldiers who work together seamlessly.
One of them wielded a heavy round shield, while the other brandished a heavy hammer with great force.
The last one held a long spear!
The soldiers were puzzled as to why the immortal master wanted them to abandon their familiar formations and learn these strange ones.
But the aroma of beef stew with potatoes wafting from a large pot not far away dispelled all my doubts.
Having meat to eat and slogans to shout is better than training on an empty stomach!
Zhang Fan, with his sharp eyes, spotted Fusu approaching from afar.
A smile spread across his face as he called out:
"Fusu! You've arrived! Come here quickly!"
Fusu stepped forward quickly, and before he could even bow, he could no longer suppress his doubts and asked urgently:
"Teacher! I have a question!"
"In battle, the best strategy is to use phalanx formations and charge together!"
"Why did you break up the formation, allowing the soldiers to become so disorganized?"
"If they were to be attacked by a large enemy formation, wouldn't they be easily scattered and routed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a deputy general walked over.
After bowing to Zhang Fan with clasped hands, he echoed in a deep voice:
"Your Highness is absolutely right! This humble general, Fang Kui, shares the same concern!"
"Master, our Qin army has always been renowned throughout the world for its iron-blooded formations. These scattered and disorganized soldiers are truly no match for us!"
Fang Kui spoke respectfully, but his heart was filled with contempt and incomprehension!
In his view, what did Zhang Fan, a mere sorcerer, know about leading troops and fighting battles?
This is clearly ridiculous!
Zhang Fan wasn't annoyed; he simply smiled and said gently:
"Fusu, General Fang, you are right, traditional military strategy is indeed correct!"
"But this is a 'three-thirds system,' not a lax approach!"
He looked at Fang Kui and smiled confidently:
"Since General Fang has doubts, why not see for yourself?"
"I would like to request that the General select three of his most elite soldiers to spar with my 'three-on-three' squad in the center of the training ground. What do you say?"
Fang Kui was taken aback upon hearing this, then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
He had always found Zhang Fan's training methods strange and was looking for an opportunity to prove himself.
Zhang Fan's initiative to propose a contest at this moment is exactly what I wanted.
He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This humble general obeys the order!"
Soon, Fang Kui selected three men dressed in heavy armor and wielding long spears.
They were tall and imposing, with an aura that was like a rainbow!
Zhang Fan then pointed to the squad he had just trained!
The competition begins!
The three men chosen by Fang Kui formed a traditional battle formation, wielding long spears, and steadily advanced, attempting to suppress the enemy with the advantage of their formation.
However, Zhang Fan's team was exceptionally agile!
The shield bearers were at the forefront, drawing fire and blocking the sharpness of the long spears!
The heavy hammer soldier seized the opportunity, suddenly sidestepped, bypassed the long spear, and accurately struck a heavily armored soldier with his hammer, knocking him back several steps.
And the spear took advantage of the gap created by the heavy hammer soldiers to pierce out from behind the shield soldiers!
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Fang Kui's three elite soldiers had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.
His body was covered in lime powder!
Zhang Fan's team cooperated seamlessly, advancing and retreating with perfect timing, avoiding direct confrontation and rendering their opponents powerless.
Fusu and Fang Kui were both so shocked that they couldn't utter a word!
This three-thirds system was completely different from any military strategy they knew, yet it was exceptionally efficient.
