Chapter 35 The twenty-first plan for the golden cicada to escape its shell

Preserve its shape and determine its momentum; without doubt, the enemy will not move, and it will stop Gu. To maintain the original shape and complete the original formation, the friendly army will not suspect it, the enemy will not dare to act rashly, and the main force must be concealed to confuse the enemy. When fighting with friendly forces against the enemy, you must calmly observe the situation in the position. If there is another enemy and you need to divide your troops to meet it, you must keep the original lineup on the surface.It is the double spell.Therefore, after the main force of our army has shifted, we still have to keep the original position with banners and flags, gongs and drums, and the original lineup very realistically. Only in this way can the enemy dare not act rashly and the friendly army will not be suspicious of me. The golden cicada's plan to escape its shell is when fighting the enemy.In order to mobilize the elite main force to attack an enemy's conspiracy elsewhere.The escape of the golden cicada is actually one of the thirty-six strategies.When the situation is critical and you can't fight hard, and you can't retreat, you have to use this strategy to get out of the encirclement.Yitu made a comeback.

The key to the golden cicada's shelling is that it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the false, and sometimes even the gods cannot hide from it.Tang Monk went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures and passed a high mountain.Suddenly a colorful tiger jumped out, Wukong chased after him with his stick, Bajie chased after him vigorously, the monster covered the tiger skin on the rock, took off his real body, and turned into a strong wind to catch Tang Monk away. Tiger skin, shout out, the monster's golden cicada escape plan is really powerful! During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qi and Jin fought in six battles, and the Qi army was defeated. If Tian Fu, the coachman, accompanied Ming to take off his clothes to Qi Jinggong, and pretended to be the king of Qi, he was arrested by the non-Jin army. No.

If Liu Bang, the great patriarch, did not get out of his shell and escape, then Chinese history would be rewritten.At the beginning, Liu Bang was besieged by Xiang Yu in Xingyang City. There was no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and the city was about to be broken.The counselor Chen Ping hurriedly asked the general Ji Xin to pretend to be Liu Bang and leave the city to surrender.When Xiang Yu found out that he had been duped, the real Liu Bang had already led the civil and military officials and fled. One winter night in 1047, the north wind was blowing and the weather was very cold.

The Kuomintang soldiers stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River were shivering with cold, and the enemy on guard would use searchlights to shine on the river for a while to see if anyone was crossing the river. In the middle of the night, when the searchlight shone on the river, I saw soldiers wearing helmets quietly approaching the amusement park on the south bank.One sentry exclaimed in alarm: "It's no good, the communist army has crossed the river!" Another sentry jumped and shouted: "Look, there are many people! Call and report to the division commander!"

"Report to the commander, the communist army who practiced by the river during the day has come across the river!" The division commander said loudly on the phone: "Don't panic, it has not been a day or two for them to practice crossing the river on the other side. We have already prepared. When the communist army approached the south bank, machine guns, rifles, and artillery fired together to wipe out the communist army. In the river!" The north wind was blowing harder and harder, and the swimmers were getting closer and closer. Countless muzzles of guns on the Kuomintang camp were aimed at the swimmers wearing steel helmets. Suddenly, a string of signal flares rose in the sky, Rifles, machine guns, and cannons all rang out!

I saw the waves splashing on the river surface, and some steel helmets sank into the water, and the water surface was red. The enemy commander was overjoyed when he saw it, thinking that the communist army had failed to cross the river this time. The enemy commander picked up the binoculars and took a closer look into the river. He was so frightened that he sat down on a chair all of a sudden, and the remaining two or three thousand swimmers braved the gunfire and rushed to the south bank recklessly.The enemy division commander said to the chief of staff: "It seems that they are going to cross the Yellow River at all costs." The chief of staff said: "The communist army is powerful, I have heard it for a long time, and I am really convinced today!"

The enemy division commander ordered: "Hurry up and transfer all the reserve troops to the south bank, and definitely wipe out the communist army in the water!" The enemy is getting more and more fierce.Those who cross the river are not afraid. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering cannon sound from behind the enemy, booming.Boom!It turned out that the People's Liberation Army adopted the golden cicada shelling strategy. The Second Field Army braved the six-level cold wind and quietly crossed the Yellow River from another place on rafts, boats, barrels, and wooden rafts.This clever plan is the "Tianluo Formation" set up by the Second Field Commander Gao Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping after discussing it.The People's Liberation Army suddenly launched an attack.The enemy panicked, and their positions were thrown into chaos.More than half were killed, and the rest laid down their weapons.He raised his hands high and surrendered, and the enemy commander was also captured alive.

It turned out that in order to cross the Yellow River into the Dabie Mountains.Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng thought of a clever plan. During the day, the whole army practiced crossing the river under the eyes of the enemy. After a long time, the enemy thought that our army was crossing the river here!In addition, Xiangzhi prepared gourds. Each gourd was equipped with a steel helmet and a small stone was tied underneath.Set them adrift with the current and the wind at night.They look like sailors swimming one by one.On the gourd, some red-colored pig urine and pig intestines are tied.The enemy army smashed the pig urine foam, and the red water flowed out like blood. Did the enemy army think that the swimming army suffered heavy casualties?The large troops withdrew quietly, crossed the river from another place, and swooped towards the enemy.

The enemy commander and the prisoners were dumbfounded, and the enemy commander repeatedly said: "I have fallen into your golden cicada's trick to escape." In 1206 AD, Bi Zaiyu, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, led his troops to fight against the Jin soldiers. When confronting Jin Bing, General Bi ordered Song Jun to beat drums every day. "This is mainly to deter the enemy on the one hand, so that the enemy knows that there are constant drums in our barracks and the deployment of troops, and on the other hand, it is also to boost the morale of our army." A few days later, Bi Zaiyu summoned all the generals in the tent of the Chinese army to discuss the retreat.

General Bi said: "At present we are outnumbered and we can't fight any more. In order to preserve our army's strength, we have to withdraw from the battlefield. But we can only withdraw quietly. But if there is no sound of military drums in our barracks when we retreat, we will definitely be discovered by the enemy. If the drums keep beating, the enemy can be deceived, and our army can move quietly." One of them stood up and asked, "Then how do we retreat?" General Bi said: "I have already thought about the plan for the golden cicada to escape its shell. Please follow my method after returning to the camp. After dark, our army will begin to retreat."

After the generals returned to the camp, they immediately arranged them.They asked the soldiers to put all the banners on the top of the tent, and then asked the soldiers to bring a lot of sheep and drums. In the evening, soldiers of the Song Army hung the sheep upside down on the tree, and let the sheep's two front hooves rest on the drum.The sheep was uncomfortable being hoisted, so it struggled hard, its two front legs kept moving, and the drum was beaten. After dark, the Song soldiers had enough to eat and drink, and General Bi ordered all the troops to dress lightly and not to make a sound, one team after another, quietly withdrew from the barracks amidst the drumming of hanging sheep. Jin Bing heard the constant drumming and flying flags of the Song camp, thinking that the Song army was still in the camp, so he had no doubts at all, and still dispatched troops to wait for an opportunity to attack Song Daying. A few days passed, there was only the sound of drums in the Song camp, but no one was moving. The general Jin began to suspect, and quickly sent people to investigate, only to find that the drummers were all sheep, and the Song army had already escaped from their shells and flew away. In the autumn of 1943, the Soviet army quickly launched the Battle of the Dne River. According to the order of the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union, the Voronezh Army, led by Commander General Duwardin, crossed the Dne River and captured Buk, 140 kilometers southeast of Kyiv. Lin Landing scene. In order to recapture the military fortress of Buklin Landing Field.The Nazi German army organized a powerful force to fight back frantically.After two large-scale battles, the Soviet army suffered serious setbacks. If they persisted, they were in danger of failure. In the Soviet frontline command post. Marshal Zhukov, the representative of the Supreme Commander, and General Duwadin, the commander of the Voronezh Front Army, stood in front of the sand table, studying and drawing up a new combat plan. Marshal Zhukov pointed to the sand table and said: "From the current situation, the enemy is constantly increasing its strength. We can no longer fight head-on with the enemy. I think we need to find places where the enemy's defense is relatively weak and change the direction of attack in order to achieve this goal." victory in battle." General Duwadin looked at the sand table, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and said to Marshal Zhukov: "According to the materials provided by our army's intelligence department, there is a Liu Jieri landing site north of Kyiv. It is not easy to attack, and the marching defense is relatively weak, and their main force is concentrated in our front. If our army attacks the German army in Liu Jieri, they will never expect it." Marshal Zhukov rested his chin in his hand, walked back and forth a few steps, stopped abruptly and said: "Then we can quietly withdraw the main force from the battlefield, turn around to the east bank of the Dne River, and then go north along the battle line, starting from Kyiv. Re-cross the river to the north and launch an attack at the Liu Jieri landing site." General Duwadin looked at the terrain on the sand table and said to Zhukov: "The combat plan you proposed is very ideal, but there is a very critical problem. A large mechanized force like our 3rd Guards Tank Group should It's not so easy to move out from under the enemy's nose!" Marshal Zhukov immediately called in Ulyano, the chief of intelligence, and said, "We can do this by creating a false impression first, so that the German army thinks that our army Temporarily retreat to defend and prepare for the next major attack, but in fact we will transfer the main force. To launch an attack from the weak link of the German army, the intelligence department must come up with an overall policy of the action plan and immediately report to the Supreme Command.” Moscow, the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union, Stalin stood in front of the military wall chart, holding Zhukov's telegram in his hand, he carefully checked the deployment of the Soviet and German armies in the Dne River area, and the pipe in his mouth hissed from time to time . Stalin's fingers stopped at Lyutezh along the direction of the Dne River. He looked at it for a while, patted the map lightly, and walked back to his desk. Stalin flattened the telegraph.He wrote on it with a pen: "Comrade Marshal Zhukov, Comrade General Duwadin: I fully agree with your proposed combat plan, please implement it immediately, Supreme Command, Stalin." At the headquarters of the Front Army of the Vogunie Meeting, Marshal Zhukov conveyed Stalin's order and drafted the entire combat plan at a meeting of senior generals. At the end of the combat conference, General Duwadin issued a false order to "suspend the offensive and switch to defense on the spot". In the middle of the night, at the forward position, Army Second Lieutenant Miga led two soldiers and climbed to the battle zone between the two armies. They found a corpse, changed him into the military uniform of the captain of the army, and then transferred the troops who had suspended the attack and switched to defense on the spot. The false order was stuffed into the captain's briefcase. At dawn, the Germans fired at the Soviet positions again, and then launched a small-scale counterattack. According to the order of the headquarters, the forward troops of the Soviet Assault Corps retreated to the second trench pretending to be defeated while fighting back, leaving an opportunity for the attacking German army to search out the "captain" from the "captain" in time. false order. In the command post of the Soviet Army, the intelligence agency increased the frequency of the radio station and then conveyed the order of the Supreme Command of the Soviet Army to the troops at the front: at present, the entire Soviet army is temporarily passive, and the troops should transfer to a solid position.In order to prepare for a new offensive from Brooklyn. At the same time, Marshal Zhukov and General Duwadin led the 3rd Tank Army and other main forces to quietly withdraw from the battlefield and marched north of Kyiv along the Dne River. After the main force of the Soviet Army withdrew, Director Ulyanov left behind the false impressions that many large forces in the command post were assembled on standby, several radio stations in the command post were working non-stop day and night, and anti-air attack preparations were intensified. The German army has always misunderstood that the main force of the Soviet army is still sticking to Kling. In order to consolidate the victory, the German army decided to fight to the death with the entrenched Soviet army in Buklin. The German command dispatched aviation forces to bombard the empty false positions of the Soviet army for more than a week, and continued to attack the Buklin area. A large number of reserve teams were mobilized.Hitler fully believed that the time had come to wipe out the Soviet Voronezh Front Army. Under the command of Marshal Zhukov, the main force of the Soviet army returned to the east bank of the Dne River from under the nose of the enemy. After advancing northward, they re-crossed the river north and north of Kyiv, and launched a fierce attack on the German army from the Liujiezhi landing field. Marshal Zhukov's golden cicada's plan to escape the shell dealt a devastating blow to the Nehe German army.
