Chapter 208 Battle Arrangement
"How long has this been going on?" asked Hawke.
The sentinel: "The first time it appeared today, the other day, but between nine and ten o'clock in the evening, the shopkeeper would come and open the door, and sit in the store for an hour or so, and he would close the shop again. ”
"How long?"
"From the moment we were stationed in this barracks. ”
If it had been a few days ago, Hawke wouldn't have thought it was a problem, but now that it sounds, it feels like it's spying on them, and he secretly hates his own negligence, and in the current situation, there should be such a surveillance post outside the other doors.
For the sake of prudence, Hawke quietly withdrew from this secret sentry, and looked at the other three doors, and sure enough, there were several strange phenomena that had been appearing since they entered the barracks, but the sentries were used to it after a long time.
Hawke returned to his residence, and immediately secretly summoned all the supervisors above the squad to his residence for a meeting, and several orderly soldiers covered all the windows with quilts, which looked ordinary from the outside, but the room was brightly lit, and the squad and platoon leaders gathered in front of the map.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are in a bit of a dangerous situation now, now the Romanians have been staring us to death in this barracks, and now we don't know if they will do it, and when, or, just regular surveillance, but we must prepare for the worst, from tonight onwards, all troops are on alert, not undressed when sleeping, to remain ready to fight, if these days are safe, we will evacuate here in three days, and move towards Nedrak. "Hawke's hand swiped northwest in Bucharest as far as Nadrak.
"Captain, I have a question. A squad leader stood up and asked.
"Say!"
"Now that Romania has been spotted watching us, why don't we leave sooner, like tomorrow?"
"It may be safer to go tomorrow, but the Romanians have been watching us for a long time, and they already know our situation very well, and if we suddenly withdraw from Bucharest, and tomorrow is the first day of the first month, it will be no different for the Romanians than telling them directly that we have discovered their secrets, and it will only make them start early, and outside the city, in the wilderness, we have few people, and they can mobilize men to trouble us at any time. Hawke didn't think in his heart that the Romanians would be able to keep them all, but in the wilderness they would lose their men.
It's just that he didn't think about how the Romanians would deal with it if they wanted to do it in the city? Or maybe he did, but he didn't think that the Romanians would have the courage to do it to them in the city, because there were still so many civilians in the city. Didn't the Romanians preach that the commoners and the nobility should be equal, and would they put the people in the war in order to keep a few GIs of the Guards?
This point was finally raised, it was a short fourth squad leader standing on the other side of the table, Hawke frowned, this question had been deliberately ignored by him, and now someone raised it, for the lord who usually said the same, this was already a challenge to his authority.
But at this time, it was really not easy to attack, he fixed his mind and said: "The question of the fourth squad leader is very good, if the other party dares to make a move in the city, we must rush through their first interception at the first time, Romania has been advocating that all men are equal, which makes it impossible for them not to ignore the safety of the civilians in the city, and this is something we can use." ”
Hawke looked around for a moment, and he continued, "If there is to be a war in the city, their first line of interception must be outside our barracks. Hawke said this, he stopped, the brightly lit snack bar, the diners sitting in the front of the seat, although they couldn't see the innermost part of the store, if they were also on his side, they were having a meeting, such as the pre-war arrangement, it would be too much to look down on them!
Hawke shook his head and shook the thought out of his head, anyway, this kind of thing is too outrageous, and he continued: "If they go to war, such as tonight, then, fourth squad leader, your squad must be storming the south gate, and the momentum must be loud, to make people feel that we are going to take the south gate, and leave Bucharest from the south gate, I think, the reason why the Romanians placed us by the south gate is to make us feel that this place is very close to the south gate, and it is easy to take it."
But I think that they will definitely deploy heavy troops at the south gate, and they will trap us here, so let them think that we will raid the south gate, and after the fourth squad leader has attracted most of the enemies over, this time is about five minutes, and our main force will rush out directly from the north of the camp, and we will take the central main road so grandly, kill directly to the north gate, and go out of the city from there!
Fourth squad leader, after the main force rushed out of the north camp, you pretended not to retreat to the east or west gate, as for which side to decide for yourself, we went from here to the north gate, galloping with all our might, about a quarter of an hour, so the time you insisted on was almost a quarter of an hour, after that, you can throw off the pursuers and retreat to the north gate with all your might. ”
The fourth squad leader looked at the map, while listening to Hawke's explanation, while calculating in his heart, and when Hawke finished speaking, he had almost simulated a general tactical policy in his heart, he immediately stood upright and said loudly: "Captain, don't worry, the fourth squad will definitely complete the task!"
Hawke waved his hand and said, "Be quiet, now is not the time to issue a combat mission, and the enemy may not come tonight, and it is not up to them whether they dare to come!"
The squad leaders around laughed, and Hawke pressed his hand and said, "Since this is said, Haig, the night feeding of the horses these days must be in our own hands, and the horses must be kept in the best condition." ”
"Understood!"
"Class 1, 2, and 3, I also said your task just now, once it is executed, the action must be resolute!" Hawk looked at the three squad leaders.
"Understood!" the three squad leaders immediately responded.
When the arrangement was completed, it was already half past eleven in the middle of the night, and in the snack bar opposite the Xiying Gate, a meeting had also just ended, and these rebels held a meeting opposite the fifteenth squad in such a grand manner, and after the meeting, the participants swaggered past the camp gate, and a few of them made a few laughs when passing by the camp gate, in their eyes, even if they stopped the meeting under the eyelids of their opponents, they did not find any traces, this feeling is really good. However, if they were told that their opponents were so alert that they let most of their troops rush out of Bucharest after more than half an hour, how would these guys feel?
Half an hour of preparation, more than 200 Romanian former city guard soldiers, they came out of the houses where they had been hiding, as early as three or four days ago, the original residents of this area have been secretly moved out by them, although it is all at night, but the sound is not too small, but the guards stationed in the barracks are stunned.
This made the officers leading the team very contemptuous of the Guards lieutenant whose name was Hawke, otherwise they would not have been able to hold a meeting at the gate of the other party's camp in a semi-public manner, which was definitely a provocation.
Two hundred soldiers took to the streets one after another, standing in twos and threes at the mouth of each alley, their armor was covered with wide clothes, giving you a feeling of bloat, this situation once again reached Hawke's ears at a rapid speed, Hawke once again secretly sneaked to the gate of the camp, the situation on the street because of the street lights, see very clearly, these chaotic parties are too big, since they want to act, why do they turn on such bright lights?
The fifty warriors of the whole squad were secretly woken up, and the reins of nearly a hundred war horses were untied, and although the war horses were still in the stables, they could be led out by the warriors and thrown into battle at any time.
At midnight, the bell at the top of the church in the center of the city was struck, and the new year officially began, and almost the entire empire ushered in a moment of celebration at the same time, it was a sleepless night, but there was a tragedy happening in some places.
Bucharest, Don Quixote did not appear at the scene of the encirclement and suppression of the Guards squad, because there was no need for that, fifty people, he had already laid out a battle formation of two hundred people, he believed, enough to pile up those fifty people, even if they found out in advance, the end was already doomed.
He took Sancho into the city lord's mansion next to the town hall, there was a person he needed to control, or kill, the master of this city, of course, from this moment on, he could only be regarded as the former master, this city or this province, from this moment on, it was his Don Quixote, he wanted this place to establish a state, from now on, the kingdom of Romania will stand on this land.
He was followed by a team of hundreds, and the sentry posts he passed by, if they didn't resist, then, the sentries would just be disarmed, and if they resisted, sorry, the blades of the centurions would wear the sentry's chest.
Don Quixote walked all the way through the gate and garden of the City Lord's Mansion, and when he came to the fountain pool in front of the main building of the City Lord's Mansion, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were already lined up in two rows in front of the gate, blocking Don Quixote's way forward.
"Don Quixote, you thief, what do you want to do?" the lord of the city stood behind the guard, who had torches in his hands, so that in the darkness of the night it was impossible to see his face.
"Lord Castle Lord, what do you say I want to do? You have also seen it, what am I doing? I hope you will be more aware of the current affairs, give up resistance, and I will let you enter the cabinet of my Kingdom of Romania, what do you think?" Don Quixote stood fifty paces in front of the city lord's guards, and greeted the city lord with his voice raised.
"Don Quixote, don't even think about it, the guards will come to my rescue soon!" The city lord looked to the south of the city, there was already a fire lit there, could it be that the guards had already noticed that something was wrong and were rushing over?
Don Quixote also glanced at the south of the city, and he turned to the city lord and said, "Lord of the city, do you see? The fire in the south of the city barracks has already burned, and it is my men who are attacking the barracks, do you know? I have sent a whole two hundred men to attack there, do you think the fifty men of the Guards can rush out?"
One of the heralds hurriedly ran over, stood beside Don Quixote and said, "Your Majesty, the fifteenth squad of the Guards has broken through the barracks and is attacking the south gate. ”
Don Quixote burst out laughing, and said to the city lord, "The guards didn't even want to save you, hear?
The city lord was silent, he didn't expect the guards to give up on him, of course, Hawke really didn't plan to save him, in Hawke's opinion, this city lord was also very suspicious of being involved in this rebellion.
"Alas, I have to say, these guards are really quite combative! Two hundred men blocked the barracks, and still let them rush out, and those two hundred captains were demoted to one level!" Don Quixote said to Sancho.
