Leonid was silent, not only his other battalion commanders were also silent. It is really easy to say "cherish soldiers" just on the lips, but it is really difficult to put it into practice.

Especially in Russia, a country with a long history of human sea tactics that does not treat serfs as human beings at all, it is even more difficult to implement this. More importantly, at this juncture, not every commander can resist the temptation to show his talents in front of the commander-in-chief.

After all, as long as you let Duke Mikhail look favorably on you, you will be promoted, given honors and made a fortune in the future. How many people can resist such a big temptation!

Whether it was Leonid or the other battalion commanders, there was only one reason why they tried to go all out in the original plan, and that was to perform well in front of Duke Mikhail and to gain a good future for themselves. !

Driven by this kind of psychology, even though they knew it was a bit risky and reckless to do so, they just couldn't help it!

Until Vishniak told the truth and pierced through the layer of window paper, all the officers, including Leonid, immediately felt a little hot on their faces.

Especially Leonid, he felt particularly embarrassed when he was awakened, because before he felt that there was no distinction between high and low, and that even commoner serfs should have their day and be treated more fairly.

But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, under the huge temptation, he would forget all of this, it was like slapping himself in the face, it was extraordinarily painful!

Leonid is also a little strange, he doesn't understand why he has become obsessed. He clearly tells himself to cherish every life, but in actual actions, he directly ignores them. The only thing he thinks about is his own interests. Could it be that he Also a mean hypocrite?

Of course Leonid was not a hypocrite, he just made a habitual mistake. Although his heart had recognized the shortcomings of the past, he had not yet raised to the level of action. Whenever it was time to act, he would go on the old path of the past without even noticing it.

However, when Vishniak woke him up, he immediately corrected it, and he immediately said: "Vishka is right, we should indeed act cautiously, and we must not waste money just to please the commander. The lives of soldiers, this is a crime! Therefore, all previous deployments have been cancelled, and we must quickly and beautifully complete the tasks assigned by our superiors, and ensure that every life is not wasted!"

Leonid made a final decision, and the other battalion commanders naturally couldn't say anything more. This is the most precious thing about Leonid, because it is not so easy for him to change course if he hesitated a little bit just now.

"Vishka, go on, how do you think we should gnaw on this hard bone!"

Vishniak was actually a little surprised, because he knew the temperament of noble officers so well, he usually said one thing and actually did another, even though he knew that Leonid was different from those guys, but I don't think he really cherishes every soldier and will make changes for them.

But Leonid did just that, which makes people have to admire. Because it's not something everyone can do, and Vishniak knows he can't do it himself. In this respect Leonid deserves the nickname of saint.

In fact, the reason why Vishniak said this just now was actually a means of buying time for himself. He deliberately brought the topic to this direction, in order to let the participants debate this topic, and forget about the previous things. After all, he only has so much ink even if he is cramming temporarily, and it will really be a waste of time to talk about it.

But who would have thought that his wishful thinking would be dispelled by Leonid's words, and their leader would abolish all previous efforts without hesitation. It's really unprepared to say that it changes!

But Vishniak can't say that I just said that you don't care, why don't we continue to discuss? So he deserves to be beaten,

He is not so skinny!

In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Uh, our first priority is to do a good job in reconnaissance, find out the enemy's defensive layout, and then adjust the offensive allocation in a targeted manner... In addition, I think we should use our firepower advantage to concentrate the artillery Use it in one direction... squeeze your fists to smash the enemy's defensive support points... In addition, you should fight steadily and avoid rushing when attacking. If you occupy a point, you should consolidate a point, advance inch by inch, and crush the enemy like a millstone! "

Leonid hadn't spoken yet, and the other three battalion commanders were blown away. It's not that Vishniak's method is bad. If it can be implemented thoroughly, it will indeed reduce casualties. But, this trick can be used, but the problem is that it takes too much time.

Duke Mikhail's request is to take Bucharest as soon as possible, but how long will it take to advance so steadily? This is completely contrary to the requirements of the above!

Immediately, some people objected: "How much time will it take to complete the task like this? Your Excellency the Duke only gave us a week. According to this type of fight, it is not enough!"

In fact, Vishniak also knew that such a small amount of time is really not enough for a steady and steady fight, but the problem is that not only will more people die, but also Buftea will not be taken down in a week. Because he had seen the defense of this small city, the Wallachians really got mad and converted it into a fortress, okay?

Let the troops of two regiments attack a fortress, even with the reinforcement of artillery, it is still hard work, and it is absolutely super strenuous. According to his experience, such a fortress will take at least half a month, which is not too long. Try to solve the problem in a week, unless the defenders are out of ammunition and food and morale is low.

The problem is that Wallachia's morale is clearly high now, and it doesn't mean to be discouraged at all. If they are so big, it depends on their two regiments, let alone a week, or a month. It may not be able to solve the problem.

Vishniak felt that this was clearly because Duke Mikhail was dizzy in a hurry, so he gave such a nonsensical order, which was completely divorced from the actual situation. And Leonid and others wanted to go to the battlefield to perform meritorious service and be rewarded, so they were crazy, so they didn't realize the huge problem. Such a well-defended small city can only be conquered in a relatively short period of time if more than 10,000 people cooperate with heavy artillery weighing at least 18 pounds.

So Vishniak said bluntly: "Your Excellency's determination is too outrageous. Buftea is definitely not a city that two regiments can take in a week. His arrangement is unreasonable!"
