Chapter 70: The Strategy of Suppressing Bandits

"Hear clearly, I won't dare to wait for the future!"

"Let's talk about your Divine Tiger Army, it was your side that originally suffered, after Wang Laosan was injured, you can completely request that the evaluation be postponed, even if it is postponed to tomorrow's evaluation, it is not impossible. But is it against military regulations that you don't solve the problem through proper channels, but you are beating you in private? ”

The sentry commander of the Divine Tiger Army also immediately said, "The subordinate knows that he is wrong. ”

"Okay, it's also considering that you were victimized first, and it's the first offense, so I won't pursue it this time."

"In addition, seeing that your scores in the previous three evaluations are very good, I will give you another chance, let you have a competition with them, if your performance can catch up with their level, or better than them, I will come forward to apply for you another mobile red flag, but if you can't compare to them, don't think about it, you can only replace your more than 100 results in the afternoon with this time. In addition, all the injured people at the two posts do not need to participate, and the rest of them can participate in the drill and evaluation. ”

When Liu Fan finished speaking, all the soldiers of the Divine Tiger Army, including the sentry commander, were overjoyed and couldn't help but cheer loudly together.

And the soldiers of the Shenwu Army were also smiling, no matter what, their red flags and scores were not affected, and seeing Liu Fan give the Shenhu Army another chance also alleviated a trace of guilt hidden in their hearts.

Liu Fan immediately said to Ma Qiang, "You go and find the six judges in the afternoon, let them score these two teams again, and each team will practice three times in strict accordance with the regulations of the regular evaluation." ”

Only the situation after the first three two teams of the situation is similar, the Shenhu military post lives up to expectations, the average score of the three times is a little higher than the Shenwu military post, Liu Fan also fulfilled his promise, the next day to this post applied for an additional mobile red flag, and the first hundred points were also replaced with this score, and finally the two posts were happy, and later heard that these two posts do not fight and do not deal, after the end of the training, the two posts of the sentry commander and the soldiers under them have a lot of contacts.

Early the next morning, Li Shouyi sent someone to Liu Fan to send the camp on agreeing to the approval of the military plan of the Shence Army to exterminate Qiu Mazi, because the action time set by the plan was very urgent, Liu Fan immediately found Wang Kai and Li Min, on the grounds that there was a little matter at home, he and Uncle Su and Fanzi needed to go back immediately, Liu Fan even suggested to the two that since the training began on the fifth day of October, there had never been a rest, and today simply let the soldiers rest for a day.

After that, he immediately called Uncle Su and Dong Zi to quietly rush to the small courtyard of the Shence Army to hold a military meeting in the small courtyard of the government office.

When the three of them arrived at the small courtyard, the brigade commanders and deputy commanders of the other six brigades had all rushed to the small courtyard after receiving the notice from Liu Fan's own soldiers.

At the beginning of the meeting, Liu Fan first emphasized the issue of keeping secrets, and demanded that all brigades strictly keep secrets and not disclose the whereabouts of each unit to anyone, including family members, friends, and colleagues in the army.

Although when he went to reconnoiter around Hongchiling a few days ago, Liu Fan already knew that the two-person small inn on the official road in the southeast was Qiu Mazi's eyes, but Liu Fan knew better that Qiu Mazi had occupied Hongchiling for more than ten years, and his channels for obtaining information could not be so simple, and he definitely also had secret channels in Liangzhou and Jincheng to obtain information stably.

In the past, the official army encircled and suppressed Hongchiling many times without success, and the inability to keep secrets well during this period may also be an important reason, so when the plan to exterminate Qiu Mazi was reported to the camp, Liu Fan also specifically told Li Shouyi about keeping secrets, so for now, in addition to the brigade commanders of the Shence Army, the plan to suppress bandits is also known to the three commanders of the camp.

Considering that Qiu Mazi's team is less than 2,000 people, because the Geng Brigade wants to participate in the training, it is not arranged to participate in this anti-bandit operation, and not all the other six brigades participate in the operation, and each brigade only transfers two battalions of men, which is nearly 12,000 troops, mainly because the task assigned by the battalion is to completely annihilate Qiu Mazi's troops, and it is necessary to carry out a dragnet encirclement on the periphery outside the main battlefield.

The plan includes two aspects, that is, the main battlefield to encircle and annihilate Qiu Mazi's troops and the troops to be surrounded by a dragnet on the periphery, so the task is also issued in two parts, and a total of three brigades are arranged in advance, specifically: "Geng Dawei led the two battalions of the A Brigade to set off this evening to the west to bypass the rear of Lei Gong Mountain and arrive at the southwest of Hongchi Ridge to ambush; The two battalions led by the deputy commander of the E Brigade set out this evening and went west to the northwest of Hongchiling and the rear of Leigong Mountain and Niutou Mountain to lay an ambush; The deputy commander of his brigade led two battalions of men and horses to ambush southeast of Hongchiling this evening.

People from all walks of life brought sufficient rations, demanded that they were not allowed to take the official road of Hongchi Valley, marched day and night, and moved forward in concealment, and all suspicious people encountered during the march or camping that could not be avoided were arrested, and they were released after the extermination operation was completed and after examination and clarification.

After the anti-bandit units of the three brigades of Jiawuji set out, the remaining two battalions had to go out in batches every day for drills, and all the battalion flags of the four battalions were displayed to prevent the detailed investigation of the action plan through the army's drills.

In addition, the two battalions led by the deputy commander of his brigade were led by two of the guards who followed Liu Fan to Hongchiling to reconnoiter the previous time, and they were not allowed to approach the two inns that Qiu Mazi had set up at the foot of the mountain as eyes. ”

Before the three deputy brigade commanders went out, Liu Fan whispered to each of them one by one the specific action plan and time of each unit.

As for the other three brigades on the main battlefield that are responsible for encircling and suppressing Qiu Mazi's main force, since it is still early to set the time, please continue to wait patiently, and the military headquarters will hand over the task to the three brigade commanders in a timely manner at an appropriate time.

The 3rd Brigade was a little anxious because it failed to get the specific task in time, but considering that the task of encircling and suppressing the main force of the bandits was entrusted to him, if he could annihilate the main force of Qiu Mazi, the largest bandit in the northwest region, it would definitely be full of credit, so the brigade commanders and deputy commanders of the three brigades simply suppressed the impatience in their hearts, stood up with a smile on their faces and saluted Liu Fan, "Wait for the order of Lord Lieutenant!" ”

Although each unit arranged by Liu Fan this time was led by the deputy brigade commander, the brigade commanders knew very well that according to the meritorious service of their brigade, the brigade commander would eventually be rewarded year-on-year. Therefore, when he went out, Liu Fan saw a satisfied smile on the face of each brigade commander.

Because he stayed in the school field outside the city for several days and couldn't go home, Liu Fan explained to the clerk on duty in the army that he would start brewing with Ling Han in the next few days, and asked him to tell Li Shouyi and go home with Uncle Su and Dong Zi.

As soon as I returned home, everyone was surprised, what was going on, before noon, the three of them came back together, this has never happened, when I heard that it was because of the training of the soldiers, today's holiday is also to let the soldiers who have been tense for more than half a month rest for half a day, the family is relieved, the family finally got together, several women immediately began to prepare lunch, Liu Fan asked Dong Zi to go out to buy a few jars of incense, since the gathering, just have a good meal, Chenchen and Lingling also immediately pestered Liu Fan to tell them stories, and the house was as lively as a New Year's Festival for a while.

Early the next morning, because last night he said that he would take his three sisters out, Liu Fan came back from morning practice, the three girls had all packed up and smiled, Liu Fan had not yet sat down, one person took the rice, one person served the soup, and one person held the soup spoon and chopsticks waiting next to him early, and the uncle and aunt who were eating on the side shook their heads and laughed.

Since the matter of suppressing bandits and training troops has been properly arranged and deployed, and then it can be carried out according to the plan, Liu Fan finally had a few days of leisure time, and he had already asked the guards to notify Ling Han in advance last night, and by the way, he invited Qi Boyuan to meet him in the small courtyard assigned to the camp for himself in the palace this morning.

When Liu Fan first moved to the small courtyard used to heal his wounds in the palace, he felt that the small courtyard was built exquisitely and elegantly, and later moved from the small courtyard for healing to the small courtyard assigned to Sima and Sima Duwei in the camp, only to know that all the small courtyards were designed to be extremely exquisite, and each had its own style, like the small courtyard assigned to Liu Fan, four or five huge walnut trees in the center, and a few irregular stone tables were scattered between the trees......
