Chapter 213: Building Goals
It is understandable that the baggage team that set out from Xifengkou did not arrive for a day, but it was nowhere to be seen for a day and a night, so it had to attract the attention of the regimental headquarters of the Eighth Division.
Of course, this trivial matter was not enough to report to His Excellency Lieutenant General Xi Yiyi, who was anxious about the battle at the front, and the general staff of the division and regiment sent four groups of reconnaissance detachments of infantry squads to search along the possible path of the baggage squadron and the infantry battalion of the Mukden Independent Brigade in the next two days.
These high-ranking officers of the Japanese division may have imagined that the baggage team would get lost at the Great Wall, and they had imagined that they would be ambushed by Chinese troops, but they may not have imagined that one of the most elite small units of the 29th Army was eyeing them in the Chinese mountains right under their noses.
At night, a certain boss of the "mountain bandits" in Qinglong Mountain, who had just been reorganized, arranged for Su Huikai to lead a team to escort the father and daughter of the Ming University reporter and a group of people down the mountain to Xifengkou, without bringing food, but to carry some infantry artillery shells and 200 38 rifles, four 92 heavy machine guns and 50,000 rounds of various bullets.
Mingyu didn't want to leave yet, but Liu Lang took a "lewd power" with an old man's gaze quietly sweeping over, and pulled the Mingda reporter to a remote corner for a burst of righteous words.
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can not be both" Although the saying makes sense, but the family is strict, if you don't accompany it, it will be too unfilial, no matter how the soldier protects the family and defends the country, he must be humane, right? The first reason has made it difficult for Minnesota reporters to refuse.
What really made the Minnesota reporter unable to refuse was that Liu Lang gave her a task, that is, this batch of seizures was not handed over to the military department for nothing, and she wanted to help Liu Lang get at least two mortars and shells back.
Liu Lang didn't want to ask the army general to open his mouth with a dead face, he opened his mouth, it was not a shame that made the commander smile, but to bargain with the boss with military merits.
To make up this kind of trick, it also depends on who is using it in front of you. It's like a woman being coquettish in front of a man, and when she meets a cute man who eats this set, and a straight man who doesn't understand the amorous style, it may be disgusting.
Liu Lang is very good at this aspect, he knows that the army general is not like Liu Ruming and Feng Zhi'an, who are both temperamental, that person is suspicious by nature, if he leaves an impression in this regard, then all the good impressions he has established before will be gone, and without his support, Liu Lang's military exploits will not be easy to use.
But Mingyu is not Liu Lang, she is now the hottest war correspondent in China, and there is a lot of propaganda about the heroic resistance of the 29th Army, whether the army general wants to give her face or Liu Lang's independent guerrilla brigade gives him a long face, there is a 90 percent chance that her request will not be refused.
And these guns and all kinds of ammunition are enough to silence anyone who wants to oppose people, and everything is a matter of course.
Mingyu couldn't refuse, so he could only listen to Liu Lang.
Liu Lang persuaded the reporter of Mingda in "Victory", and he also threw a "you know" look at an old man with his own cleverness, but he didn't notice that the old man's beard was almost upturned.
Nonsense, I persuaded my daughter to follow me for a long time, but I was pulled to the corner by a little fat man and changed my mind after whispering. Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the secluded corner is very difficult to think! Especially for an elderly father.
In the heart of any old father, whoever takes his daughter to a place where no one is at every turn is a scumbag. Who hasn't been young, what's wrong?
No matter what you say, the reporter of Mingda was happy, and the old man was so angry that his beard was gone.
The newly recruited "mountain bandits" in Qinglong Mountain, who are still wearing military uniforms, have already started their actions.
Liu Lang had long expected that the Japanese army would send troops to find the whereabouts of the baggage team, so he would naturally be the first to hit the idea of this group of Japanese soldiers who were "looking for lost things".
His idea is not complicated, when we meet a large army, we will hide and not show up, and when we meet the same, we will engage him as a guy, and if you can eat it, then eat it cleanly, anyway, he is a bandit now, so he will follow the bandit's survival mode.
Even if the Japanese army hurts and sends a large army, if you have the ability, you can carry these things like mountain artillery into the mountains, if there is no artillery, then hehe, without two infantry brigades, Liu Lang is really not afraid of him.
And if you really come to the two infantry brigades, do you really think that the main force of the 29th Army on the Xifengkou side is vegetarian? Anyway, the 29th Army didn't have any artillery, and the infantry came with guns.
The mountains with mountains and mountains, as well as the Xifengkou that is not far away, are the biggest reliance for Liu Lang to dare to constantly fight under the nose of the main force of the Japanese army.
According to Liu Lang's request, unless it is to fight with a large number of Japanese troops, the three infantry squadrons are generally left with one of the first squadron and the second squadron, that is, Liu Lang and Li Guobin will definitely leave one person and one infantry squadron and fire support squadron to sit in Qinglong Mountain, and He Datou's third squadron can only work a little harder, and they are basically outside the cottage.
However, this is quite in line with He Datou's intentions, that guy is a battle maniac, it doesn't matter if he rests or not, the important thing is to be able to kill devils and exercise the team, after a night of reorganization, the rookies who didn't stand and sit made him look a little up.
For this, the head, which has few hairs, is even more oily.
For Liu Lang, the so-called two commanders must have one of them sitting in Qinglong Mountain, which directly became Li Guobin and the 2nd Infantry Squadron, and he and the 1st Infantry Squadron were always outside.
And Li Guobin is not easy to refute, who made him the second and Liu Lang is the boss! In peacetime, democracy is in the hall, and when it comes to war, it is all a word, and Liu Lang has the final say.
The combat effectiveness of the bandits in Qinglong Mountain is that of rookies compared to the army, but if they lurk in the mountains to find "fat sheep", it is definitely their strength, especially the various kinds of communication they invented, which can quickly spread the situation they see in the depths of the mountain to ten miles away.
For example, in addition to the message tree, there is also a beacon fire, a fire covered with animal feces can spread the smoke for miles away, and bandits who see the smoke can relay the news to the Qinglong Mountain cottage in a minute.
It is important to find the target, and it is even more important to be able to quickly communicate the location and approximate number of the target, and in this regard, the former officers and men of the independent guerrilla brigade are learning from their new comrades.
Then, two of the four infantry squads sent by the staff of the Eighth Division were found by the rookie scouts who were scattered out, and two infantry squadrons that were no more than three or four miles apart quickly arrived, and although the Japanese infantry squads were also vigilant because of wolf smoke or something, they would never have thought that Chinese would cross the Great Wall defense line for ten miles to attack them.
There are rookies who are familiar with the Qinglong Mountain area, and even what the stone looks like as guides, the two infantry squadrons of nearly 250 people who bypassed from both wings are like two big pincers to surround the Japanese troops who are struggling to march in the mountain road, and the distance is within 150 meters, not to mention that the Japanese army is an infantry squad, even if it is an infantry squadron, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the bad luck of being annihilated.
On the first day, two infantry squads quietly disappeared into the mountains of China.
The other two infantry squads searched and advanced along both sides of the wide avenue of the mountain range, and both found the location of the Fourth Infantry Brigade and did not find the slightest trace of the baggage brigade.
It's still the same old thing: kill the light, grab the light, strip the light!
In addition to these achievements and captures, what made Liu Lang even more pleased was that the soldiers and officers under his command were all improving and transforming.
The battlefield is not a classroom, and there is no opportunity to correct mistakes. If you are wrong, you will pay with your life.
If you want to survive this war where you die or I live, you have to become stronger, strong enough to kill the enemy, so that the enemy can't easily kill you.
Two days of reconnaissance and combat gave the rookies and veterans a deeper understanding of lurking, passing on news and quietly beating sticks.
Although it is impossible to improve their marksmanship in a short period of time, they can lurk so that the Japanese army is only ten meters away from them and cannot see them, they can use birdsong and insect language to transmit the news without alarming the Japanese army, and they can use all the natural conditions on the battlefield to create a battlefield that is more favorable to themselves and unfavorable to the Japanese invaders.
There may still be some distance from Liu Lang's imagination of the jungle army, but they are advancing in that direction, and the Japanese army, which did not yet have the advanced army combat concept in the future at this time, is their shortcoming in mountain operations.
They knew that even the rice cowboys, who would be armed to the teeth in the future, were beaten bitterly by a group of short men with five or six halves and AKs in the subtropical jungle in the southwest.
Jungle warfare requires systematic training and special equipment, and it is not something that can be done with aircraft and artillery.
What Liu Lang is building now is a force with the shadow of the future mountain brigade troops, because his eyes are not only in this Great Wall Mountain Range.
China is a mountainous country, and in the future, it is destined to break out into all-out war.
