A Dream of Jinling Chapter 281 Cattle Knife (15)

Next chapter

"What the hell is that kid doing? This kind of road can run so slippery. Holding the dog that was sniffing and tracking, the soldiers of the Liberation Army squad couldn't help but whisper questions about the life trajectory of the Bennier guy.

It cannot be said that the warriors are rare and strange, and some roads are still traceable. However, several unexpected turns really relied on the dog's keen sense of smell, and the Liberation Army soldiers who arrived in São Paulo for the first time really couldn't keep up with the idea of this secret passage.

The team didn't dare to go too fast, the environment around this path was very suitable for setting up an ambush, and it was always right to be careful. After walking for a while, the warrior in front made a gesture, and the whole team stopped. The more secluded path had come to an end, with some houses in front of it and a railway looming in the distance. It seems that this passage has come to an end.

The detachment thought that if they went any further, they would be exposed, and they withdrew along the trail. When I returned to the starting point, I saw that the regiment commander had arrived at the front line. When I was reporting, I heard the regiment commander ask: "How can you be stationed at night?" ”

Seeing the detachment coming in, the battalion commander immediately said: "Regiment commander, listen to the reconnaissance team first, first talk about the situation, if we can take down the defensive position of the Americans stuck on the railway, we probably won't have to sleep at night." ”

"Tell me about it." The regimental commander called the squad to the table, "This is a new map, can you understand it?" ”

After only a few glances at the new map, the captain's eyes lit up, and the vice-captain smiled in surprise. According to reason, the headquarters should be the last unit to get the accurate map, but now the situation has become the last to get the accurate map at the front. Although it is a little incredible, the soldiers who are fighting on the front line certainly do not have a problem with it.

"We should be starting from here." The captain points to a location on the map.

"Yes." The vice-captain immediately responded.

The captain's finger followed the signs on the map that were outlined with simple and bright strokes, and soon sorted out the path he had walked not long ago......

Now that time is tight, the task is heavy, and the map is unlikely to be particularly accurate. According to the operational characteristics of the Liberation Army, all areas that are inaccurate are vacated, and at the end of that path is a large open space.

"Commander, there is a path here that leads directly to the enemy's defensive positions. However, there are some places in between that are not shown on the map. The captain stared at the regimental commander and said.

The regimental commander looked down at the position for a few seconds, then picked up the map and walked reflexively to the huge backboard erected inside the headquarters. The eyes of the captain and the vice-captain followed the regiment leader, and then stopped on the back board in a daze. As if there was an invisible attraction, the two of them moved towards the backboard.

It is a huge picture stitched together from photographs, and when you look closer, the edges cannot be completely overlapped, and the photo is a sideways angle, which is quite different from the simple visual angle of the map that is straight up and down. However, this is a great perspective for soldiers.

After comparing the map with the map stitched together from the photographs, the regiment commander pointed to an area made up of small houses and asked, "Are you talking about this area?" ”

The captain was not sure, but the vice-captain stared at it for a moment and his eyes lit up, he pointed to the three big trees in the photo and said, "Captain, I remember that there are three trees over there." ”

After staring at it for a few moments, closing his eyes and recalling for a moment, the captain finally made a judgment, "Commander, it's right here." ”

"Then let's take the approach of striking the east and the west. The main road attracted the attention of the Americans here, and the troops rushed along the path to take their defensive positions. After the regimental commander finished speaking, his finger was pointed at an obvious defensive position.

This is a video from more than three hours ago, and it can be seen that the fortifications and the Yankees are moving things and reinforcing the position. Their small and vague figures were frozen in that moment, and the captain of the squad couldn't help but have the urge to get closer and take a closer look.

The Americans in the photo, who were still building fortifications around 11 o'clock, did not freeze in reality, and the team, which was relatively orderly at that time, was already showing signs of fragmentation. Engineer Monters had thought that the unity of a few hours ago would be maintained against the invading Chinese. The Chinese did not wait, hunger fell on the positions.

"Major, can you give some food to the people here now?" Engineer Monters made a request to the major.

The body lì labor is very tolerant and makes people hungry, and the boiling patriotic engineer Montes is also hungry at this time. Spiritual abundance does not provide carbohydrates, especially when some of the people who participated in the battle began to go out to forage for food on their own initiative, and Engineer Montes could not find food for himself in order to maintain a minimum of order.

The major had an embarrassed expression on his face, the United States is a federal country, and the army construction presents a pattern of conscription at the time of war and almost all retirements after the war. At the time of the Civil War more than 20 years ago, the Union army numbered in the millions. More than a year after the end of the war, there were no 100,000 left in this army. The scale of logistics to supply 100,000 people does not need to be large, and the federal army has been greatly expanded in the past few months, and although the logistics have also been formed, they are very low.

If it weren't for the Major himself sending people to the rear to ask for food, the Union troops themselves would now be hungry. The logistics supply unit is only responsible for the food of its own families, and gives food according to the number of troops and the number of personnel on paper. The regiment to which the major belonged was divided into two parts, and according to the personnel who went to ask for things, the old man with the logistics officer's face was very angry because of the excessive paperwork.

Therefore, the most important food was only enough for the major and his subordinates to eat two meals, and the major, of course, understood that these volunteers were starving, but he distributed the food of his troops to those outside the unit, and the troops had to starve at night.

In a dilemma, the major finally whispered: "Lieutenant Montes, I really can't help it. Those members of the National Guard let them go and ask for food themselves. Come and eat with me. ”

"But there are still dozens of people who are not from the National Guard." Engineer Monters hurriedly said.

The Major shook his head helplessly, "Sir, let them go home first and get some food for themselves." Or let them go to the nearest people's houses and borrow something to eat. I'll try to get a request from the rear, but I won't get a reply until noon tomorrow at the earliest. ”

"Can there be a reply?" Engineer Monters accurately grasped the key words in the Major's words. By this time, the Union troops had already cooked some potatoes and began to devour them. The scent wafted over and into Engineer Mendes' nostrils. A long "......" sound came from the stomach of Engineer Montes.

The Major's expression became even more embarrassed, and he hurriedly asked the guard to take two cooked potatoes and hand them to Engineer Montes. Seeing the heavy expression on Engineer Mendes' face, the Major Principal sighed, "Lieutenant, I really can't help it. ”

"I'll go to the mayor right now." Engineer Montes made up his mind.

"But if you leave...... "The Major didn't want Engineer Montes to go away. With such an influential man in St. Paul's on the ground, especially with the dozens of men under his command, there was finally a person in coordination between the Union Army and the National Guard. As soon as Montes leaves, at least for a short time, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

"You can't go hungry. If you continue to starve, you'll be the only ones left on the battlefield before dark. A few hours ago, Engineer Mendes was confidently preparing to set up an encirclement to ambush the Chinese. Now his love has also plummeted, and if he continues to be so hungry, the locals who have gathered together will scatter in a hurry. The number one problem now is to get the food that will keep these fighters going.

Having given one of the potatoes to his son, Engineer Montes went along the railroad to the city center. Along the way, he had mixed feelings, and during the Civil War, the engineer Montes was under the famous butcher, General Sherman. At that time, the troops only needed ammunition, and along the way, they had food to the enemy, burning, killing, and robbing the people in the south. At that time, it was really bread to grab two at a time, eat one and throw one. Robbing cattle at a time robbed two heads, one cutting meat and one spoiling. Now, when Engineer Montes stood up for his country, he found that in São Paulo, a place where there was no shortage of food, he actually had to bring his own dry food.

"Even the United States is like this, and the Chinese who have not had time to grab things on the labor expedition will be hungry, right?" Engineer Montes thought indignantly as he nibbled on the burnt potatoes that were not ripe.

The canned luncheon meat, salmon, sardines, peaches, and oranges in the tin box were handed to the food truck attendants, who threw the cans into hot water, and then handed the same cans heated by hot water to the soldiers who handed over the cans. The field kitchen car is really convenient, it can be easily heated during battles, and it can even be fried during non-combat periods.

The instinctive habit of a soldier from the countryside was to take as much as he could, and it was finally changed in the army. The troops were not denied food, and this exchange was done in order to be able to carry the weight evenly. I opened the hot can and took the rice. Everyone sat on the deserted streets of the rich area and dined.

Lord Huntington watched the Chinese ** people gobble up from the crack in the window, smelling the smell of thousands of cans in the hands of hundreds of people floating in from the window, and he left the window with a solemn expression.

The squadron's good food is good news for Lord Huntington, and the army will not loot until the food is finished, but this also means that the army will probably not leave St. Paul until the food is finished. How long will the squadron occupy? Do you want to occupy it forever? At the thought of such a future, Lord Huntington's heart felt extremely heavy. Now the Chinese do not loot, can they still adhere to such a military level later?

The squadron didn't care what Lord Huntington thought, the troops' requirements for this gang were simple, they would stay at home honestly, so that the squadron could eliminate the Yankees who took up arms and resisted.

After having eaten enough, the troops rested for more than ten minutes. It was already past four o'clock, and the offensive line had been decided. What the troops had to do was to deal a fatal blow to the Yankees who were entrenched in the railroad defenses.

Captain Wei Jianjun led his troops to join the attack, and before heading straight to the destination along the path, the battalion commander assigned the task. As a result, on the march, the troops received new orders. "All of them accelerated and quickly entered the battle."

As soon as the order was given, there was already a lot of gunfire ahead. As a soldier, Captain Wei Jianjun could hear that the battle was not a confrontation, and the Chinese troops were breaking through while fighting. Judging from the photos, the Yankees' defensive positions are not so imminent.

But when the order came, he could only obey. When Captain Wei Jianjun led the team to rush to the edge of the defensive position, he saw that the red flag of the Guangfu Army had been planted at the highest point of the defensive position. The vanguard was chasing the fleeing enemy.

Soon, the captives were pressing. As a person proficient in foreign languages, Captain Wei Jianjun took on the responsibility of interrogation.

Listening to the words of the captives, Captain Wei Jianjun's face became more and more surprised and exciting. After questioning seven or eight prisoners with blue noses and swollen faces and dirty bodies, the captain finally suppressed his feelings and reported to the battalion commander.

"The enemy has started infighting because they have not eaten, and by the time our vanguard attacked, they themselves were already in a mess." After saying this, the captain felt that such a description might have damaged the prestige of the assault force, and he added his opinion, "Our troops can seize this opportunity, it is really too sharp!" ”

The battalion commander blinked, and only after more than ten seconds did he ask in a puzzled tone, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" They can't lie to us, right? "Mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
