Chapter 117: It's this sentence again: Adults are not good
After seeing the number of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, Fang Yuanxin recalled it carefully, and then remembered that he had fought with the other party.
Previously, he had led his cavalry regiment to attack a Luo'an army's baggage troops, and had fought a fight with a local militia of the Luo'an army that was escorting the baggage troops.
It's just that the battle was a little inexplicable.
He went from reconnaissance to attacking, in the process of attacking, the cavalry under his command also perfectly executed the predetermined tactical plan, after charging on horseback, after approaching the opponent's convoy, he used cavalry pistols to suppress the attack, killing and wounding many enemy soldiers in a short time, and then they did not have the slightest love, but set fire to and left, successfully burning many vehicles transporting supplies.
The whole process was perfect!
It can be called a model of cavalry attacking baggage troops!
But the only thing that turned out was not good.
This result is not good, not that their battle is not big, in fact, they can launch an attack to kill and wound hundreds of enemy soldiers and burn more than 20 tons of supplies under the watchful eye of a large number of Luoan cavalry units nearby, which is already quite successful.
The bad result is that the casualties of your own side exceeded expectations.
In that battle, the cavalry under his command suffered dozens of casualties!
And the deaths are somewhat inexplicable, most of them died on the way to the charge, and there were actually not many casualties when they were really hand-to-hand.
At that time, Fang Yuanxin couldn't understand why his cavalry had so many casualties when they were a hundred meters away from the enemy when they were charging, and later learned that the Luo An army on the opposite side was actually equipped with a large number of rifled guns.
It's just that he still hasn't been able to figure out why the rate of fire of these rifled guns is so fast, and his only guess is that the other party may have prepared multiple loaded rifled guns at the same time and used them directly during combat.
It's a pity that he doesn't know the truth of the matter.
That somewhat inexplicable battle made Fang Yuanxin remember the local militia of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, and also remembered Lin Ziran.
Although Fang Yuanxin did not meet this Qingshan Patrol Battalion again, he had also heard many times that this Qingshan Patrol Battalion escorted the baggage troops north, and he also fought with friendly troops a few times.
Some time ago, he also heard that an infantry battalion on the side of the Third Brigade was in the process of breaking through, and it was because of the harassment and interception of this Qingshan patrol battalion that it was finally caught up by the main force led by Jian Liangzhi, resulting in the failure of the breakthrough and the annihilation of the whole army.
This Qingshan Patrol Battalion is actually different from many other local militia groups in the two counties.
After all, they are all county-level militia groups, ranging from one or two hundred to three or four hundred, and there are very few militia groups with more than 500 people.
In terms of combat effectiveness, it is even worse to say that the combat effectiveness of local militia groups is quite limited.
Because of the limited local funds, the militia groups are generally underfunded, and without money, they have no new equipment, no ammunition, and even insufficient food, let alone money.
These in turn lead to a series of problems, insufficient equipment and ammunition, which means that there is little live-fire training and poor equipment performance.
If the food is not good, the physical fitness of the soldiers will not be good, and the number of training times on weekdays must also be reduced, otherwise the soldiers will be trained to be skinny and skinny.
The lack of money and poor food led to low morale and the reluctance of the soldiers to work hard.
In the end, when combined, the combat effectiveness of the local militia was generally poor.
There are actually quite a few local militia groups of the Luo'an Army active in this area, and there are more than a dozen local militia groups just from the number.
But this Qingshan Patrol Battalion is different, although the combat effectiveness is still a little worse, but it is much better than other local militia groups.
Whether it was himself or his allies, the few encounters with this patrol battalion didn't seem to have much benefit.
This Aoyama Patrol Camp is a bit quirky!
Now that he learned that the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment was still this Qingshan Patrol Battalion, Fang Yuanxin was interested, and this time he had to weigh this Qingshan Patrol Battalion.
Let's see if this is a sheep's head selling dog meat.
Well, now Fang Yuanxin seriously suspects that this Qingshan Patrol Battalion is not a local militia at all, but a regular army with the name of a militia to confuse his own attacking troops.
It's not that he's suspicious, it's that this Qingshan Patrol Battalion is too weird, so he can't doubt it.
Just when Fang Yuanxin and the others were staring at the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment and the Qingshan Patrol Battalion.
On the other hand, Jian Liangzhi also kept an eye on the movements of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment and was ready to respond.
Everyone knows the importance of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, otherwise the superiors would not have spent so much effort to let the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment climb mountains and mountains, in order to bypass the blockade of the Guang'an Army in the Luo River area.
At the same time, he gave Jian Liangzhi an order early in the morning, asking him to prepare for the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, and for this reason, he also began to assemble troops in advance.
His temporary brigade is only 3,000 people, but it is to control the vast area of dozens of kilometers deep behind Chongguang City, naturally it is impossible to gather together all the time, most of the time it is still scattered garrison, a battalion here, a company there, and even the cavalry troops are mostly a company, the two companies are scattered, and they are not far from each other, and they can quickly support each other if they encounter enemy troops.
But this time it didn't work, they had to concentrate their troops in advance to avoid any mistakes.
If something goes wrong with the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, the consequences will be very serious, even if Jian Liangzhi is difficult to bear.
And these are not known to Lin Ziran, who is still drinking tea in the ravine.
Now that the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment was moving slowly, he hadn't moved his nest for days, and had been staying at the headquarters in the abandoned temple.
Not to mention him, even Cheng Hongbin spends most of the day here.
Anyway, the troops are slowly opening the way to climb the mountain on the side, which can be seen when they go out of the temple gate.
This kind of slow life has made Lin Ziran almost forget what war is like.
But after a few days, it was finally over.
When the last heavy artillery was pulled by Larma and flipped through the last mountain, both Lin Ziran and Cheng Hongbin were relieved.
Finally crossed this mountainous area.
It looks like the distance in a straight line is only a few kilometers, but in fact they walked for several days, no, they couldn't say they were walking, but they dug the mountain for several days.
After the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment had all passed, what was left was a wide and flat winding mountain road!
Lin Ziran thought that it would be much easier to escort the baggage to the north in the future.
After crossing the mountain, they continued north along the slightly gentler hills, this time without climbing the mountain, although they still went around the bends, but the road was gentle.
But they had just been gone for half a day, when suddenly there was a scout in front of them galloping back, and before the scout arrived, he shouted: "My lord, it's not good!" ”
When Lin Ziran heard this, his face turned dark!
Damn, it's this sentence again, can you change some fresh words!
