A Dream of Jinling Chapter 290 Solving the Cow (3)

Next chapter

At noon on April 20, the kitchen cart of the Liberation Army began to prepare horse meat-based food. The Liberation Army attaches great importance to technical training, and the cooks are trained as cooks every year. There are many horse-related dishes in Guangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou, and the Guangfu Army's understanding of Guangxi Yungui is quite profound, so the horse meat is not cooked immediately, but hung up and dried first. Like rabbits, horses eat grass as their main food, and if they are cooked without air drying, the grass smell in the meat will turn into a bitter taste.

Purely in terms of food, the commanders and fighters of the Liberation Army did not have any dissatisfaction. The canned chicken, duck, fish, meat, and fruits are all complete, and the taste is also good, whether it is to supplement the effects to eliminate hunger or to provide the happiness that comes from eating, these meals can be satisfied. Even so, the pressure brought by the battlefield is still too great, and occasionally adding a little food that can rarely be eaten is also a good relief.

This is the small opinion of the command, the American cavalry regiment annihilated yesterday provided these ingredients, and the main energy of the command is focused on reflecting on this battle. When the Air Force spotted a cavalry unit coming straight for São Paulo, the outcome of the battle was almost certain. The American cavalry followed the main road, and the Liberation Army completed the encirclement along the path on the map.

Snipers eliminate enemy sentinels, artillery surprise attacks, machine guns quickly reach ambush positions under the tow of motorcycles. Under the transparency of the one-way battlefield of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, all tactics are completed cleanly. When the stunned Yankees thought they wanted to flee into the woods, the Liberation Army trucks arrived first and went into the woods along a small road, annihilating the remnants of the Yankees here.

Driving the three-wheeled motorcycles were the original cavalry units, who were already familiar with the mentality and tactics of the cavalry, and were extremely efficient in the pursuit of the scattered and fleeing American cavalry. In the end, the U.S. Cavalry Regiment was completely annihilated, and even if there was a little bit of a fish that slipped through the net, it was also the cavalry that had fallen behind.

Fighting against the enemy's regular army rather than against the American people, the morale of the troops was high, and they were naturally extremely satisfied with the results. In the course of the discussion, everyone generally believed that with the cooperation of reconnaissance aircraft, the motorized infantry's mobility ability, reaction speed, and intelligence accuracy surpassed that of the traditional army. Motorized infantry on the battlefield is best used in field battles with the enemy. That is to say, the traditional infantry conducts a transmission confrontation with the enemy, and the motorized infantry sweeps away the enemy's strongholds in the field, and uses them to solve the enemy's mobile forces on the march in the field. Achieve the campaign goal of completely besieging the enemy's heavy army group.

The comrades are full of ambition and have great confidence in themselves. Until Qi Rui came out with a sentence, "That's when the weather is good, what if the weather is bad?" ”

The scoop of cold water did a little trick, but the officers who took part in the West Coast sweep quickly showed confidence. "As long as it's not flooded, it's not a big deal if it's raining heavily. Our trucks are ready to serve as good mobile tents in the field, what do those traditional army have? Also on the march, our troops were always able to maintain a better fighting condition. ”

Qi Rui actually thinks the same way, he is just worried that everyone is overly optimistic. So he continued: "Our motorized infantry is more dependent on the road. ”

"As long as you don't expect trucks to climb mountains, even in hilly terrain, trucks have higher off-road capabilities than people. If the enemy is willing to retreat into the deep mountains and forests, we might as well fulfill them? Ma Xiaoming is an extraordinarily confident one, and this is really a key point. The plains are the most important areas, and the best thing for motorized infantry is to gallop across the plains. If the Yankees are willing to shrink in the mountains, then let them shrink in the mountains. There is no supply of weapons and ammunition, not even enough food. Throwing troops into the mountains is tantamount to allowing the Liberation Army to occupy the plains to their heart's content.

The battle was so cool that it was difficult to find fault with it. In the end, Qi Rui also gave up doing this useless work, as the chief of staff, he also had an important task, that is, to urge the follow-up troops to catch up quickly.

The 24th Army officially began its attack on São Paulo in the early morning of April 16, and it was now April 20, and by the early morning of the 21st, it was exactly five full days. It was expected that the Yankees' army would pounce like mad dogs in an attempt to retake St. Paul and Minneapolis. I didn't expect it to be five days soon, and the Yankees were so slow to react. Except for the dispatch of a cavalry regiment to send them to their deaths, there was no movement of the enemy in any other area.

If the Liberation Army were faced with such a situation, even if there was no full-scale engagement, at least troops would come from all sides to contain the enemy. Or to be more precise, with the current reconnaissance methods of the Liberation Army, the enemy would not have wanted to penetrate hundreds of kilometers into the Chinese border without being detected. According to Li Shaokang, the Air Force now has reconnaissance planes patrolling along the border line every day, and of course, there are often accidents where planes fall off.

After liaising with the Front Command, the Front Command told the 24th Army that the southbound troops had been dispatched, and they finally captured the northern Minnesota city of Fargo on the 20th. Fargo is on the northwestern Minnesota state border, and St. Paul and Minneapolis are near the southeastern Minnesota state border, and there is a rail connection between the two. Looking at the meaning of the front command, they would like to be able to open up this railway communication line. Of course, if this railway line can be opened, it will also mean that the Liberation Army will be unimpeded in Minnesota.

"What do they mean by that? Said it would take more than five days to arrive, and now it has to be delayed for a few more days? Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu Jiyun looked a little uneasy.

The army commander Zheng Minglun was calm, "Look at the current meaning, it makes no difference if you come two days early and two days late." It would be better if you could use the railway. At least they can transport oil to us by rail. ”

This sentence silences the guys who have objections. The effect of motorized infantry is indeed very good, but the fuel consumption is also quite scary, a truck runs a hundred kilometers to use up sixty or seventy liters of fuel, which is more than a hundred catties. If this problem can be solved by railway transportation, it is really not a matter of two days earlier or two days late.

Since he didn't want to evaluate the speed of the follow-up troops, Qi Rui made a suggestion, "Do we want to send a telegram to ask if the follow-up troops need to respond?" ”

This was immediately approved, and the telegram was sent out in response to it very quickly. The front command felt that it would be better if the 24th Army was willing to take it.

By the 22nd, a telegram had been sent from the troops along the railway, and the advance of the supporting troops had been received on the way. It is estimated that on the 23rd, the support force will be able to reach part of it. Sure enough, at noon on the 23rd, a train arrived in São Paulo with a carload of people.

However, Qi Rui and the others did not come to greet them, not because of the people of the 24th Army, but because there was no Tokyo on the northern front of the United States, but a force came from the direction of Chicago. The traditional army unit got off the train in the south, more than 40 kilometers from São Paulo, where it was not a station, but a barren mountain with the railroad tracks destroyed by the Liberation Army.

Not long after getting off the bus, the Liberation Army launched a fierce attack. The cavalry units could still escape on horseback, and the infantrymen were dizzy and could not run fast at all. After half a day of fighting, thirty percent of the Virginia troops of this brigade were killed and seventy percent captured. The train from the direction of São Paulo stopped at the other end of the destroyed tracks, and the captives were roped onto the train to join the cavalry units that had been captured earlier.

Qi Rui returned to São Paulo with the troops, and finally saw the vanguard of reinforcements. This time, a regiment came, and judging from the uniforms, one battalion of troops was the Liberation Army, and two battalions of troops were servant troops wearing different uniforms. Qi Rui has been in Japan for a few months, looking at the appearance of those people and listening to what they say, this is obviously a Japanese soldier.

The leader of these two battalions of Japanese troops was actually an acquaintance Yuan Weiting. When he arrived at the headquarters, Qi Rui first briefly introduced the situation. Yuan Weiting got up and said, "All I brought this time are Japanese. They were tasked with helping the troops with some clean-up work. If there is anything to be done, please give orders to the chiefs. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you. Everyone knows what this clean-up is. The army commander could not speak, and it was inconvenient for the political commissar to say anything. So everyone's eyes fell on Qi Rui. Qi Rui rubbed his nose, he didn't want to speak. But thousands of captives are now there, and it is inconvenient not to dispose of them.

What's more, the purpose of this campaign is to eliminate as many Federation troops as possible, and the proportion of people killed on the battlefield is actually relatively low. The captives could not always be fed with good food and drink, and the purpose of spending hundreds of millions of dollars to hire the Japanese was to get them to dispose of these people. A country does not have a high proportion of young people, and a federal country can mobilize a lower percentage of young men. Although it is unpleasant, it must be faced.

Looking at Qi Rui's expression, Yuan Shikai smiled heartily, "Leaders, the Japanese have been very good along the way, you give me most of the day first, let's prepare first." When the time comes, you can hand them over to us in small batches. ”

"Did you do it on the way?" Qi Rui was quite surprised.

Yuan Shikai smiled indifferently, "Railway transportation is not bad, and the Yankees are so barbaric." We actually fought and advanced along the way. This time it was the Japanese who followed the troops with two divisions, and the main forces were in the rear to ensure the safety of the railway. Our two battalions came first because we were worried that there would be a lot of pressure on our side. Find us a place with a relatively dense setup, and we can prepare it in half a day. ”

After listening to this, Qi Rui looked at the military commander and political commissar, and saw the two nodding slightly. So Qi Rui said to the staff officer in charge of the map: "Find them a forest where no one goes nearby." "Mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
