30 digging tunnels
"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end. No matter how far it goes, I won't send it. Before leaving. I grant this to you. Shang Wu said as he took a red flag from Little Bean's hand.
"This red flag represents our Red Turban Army, the flag is there, and the people are there." Shang Wu solemnly awarded the flag to Lao Mu and others.
"Sir, I promise, the people are here, the flag is there, and the people are dead•••••••" Before Lao Mu finished speaking, Shangwu stopped the other party.
"I want you to come back alive and come back with a big piece of evidence." Shang Wu said to Lao Mu.
"Yes, sir." Lao Mu saluted solemnly. At the time of parting, Shang Wu finally handed over half of the members of the officer training class to Lao Mu, who needed these quasi-officers even more, because no one knew how far he would develop.
The old wood's team was in the distance. Shang Wu can't even see it.
"Sir, go back." Little Bean persuaded.
"Hmm." Shang Wu nodded and said.
"Sir, we're running out of food. And there are a lot of people waiting to eat, which is a big deal. Little Beans said. Little Beanzi knows that Shangwu is a serious person, and many things are handled by him.
"yes, I see. But this is a big deal, do you have any good advice? Shang Wu asked, Little Douzi.
"Well, it's the busy farming season, what we can do is to let those people work in the fields, only in this way can we have food, but the problem is that the land here can't feed so many people, and we still have to rely on grabbing this food. Sir. Little Beans suggested.
"It's indeed a good idea to rob, but the question is, who are we robbing, and we haven't figured out the surrounding situation. And, importantly, I'm still worried. Shang Wu said and took out his notepad. Shangwu opened the latest page.
"How can the safety of the lives of these more than 500 people be guaranteed, and besides, this is Lijiazhuang, which belongs to the plain area, if we attack, we must hand over the safety to the militia, but the militia can't resist the attack of the other party at all. What do you say we should do? "Shangwu is most worried about this problem.
Shangwu and his army have never had a very good base area, and the ideal place is Taihang Mountain, but in that case, it is too far away from the war zone to find a suitable opportunity on the battlefield, which is extremely disadvantageous for Shangwu. However, in the plains, the terrain was extremely inconvenient, and in ancient warfare, the importance was the topography, and occupying the advantage of the terrain would gain a great initiative. But this place in Shangwu, which makes people look like they are really worried.
"We are all plains here, there is no terrain advantage on all sides, such as big rivers, mountains and rivers, without these, it is not conducive to our defense, and we can't build a defensive fortress, that is impossible, so it will cost a lot of manpower, in such a season, do you think, we can do such a thing?" Shang Wu asked, Little Bean.
"This." Little Bean scratched his head vigorously with his hands, maybe in this way he could have some ideas and pull some ideas out of his head.
"If only the chief could go up to heaven and earth. I heard that Zhang Tianshi and his old man will. "Little Beans always think of some strange ideas.
"Wait, what did you say?" Shang Wu suddenly thought of something.
"This, sir, I mean I leaked my mouth, when I was in the Yellow Turban Army before, I heard that Zhang Tianshi can do spells, but I haven't seen it either, people say that Zhang Tianshi can soar through the clouds." Little Beanzi said embarrassedly.
"That's not what I'm talking about, the previous sentence you just said." Shangwu asked.
"The previous one, oh. I remember. Heaven to earth. That, sir, are you really going to heaven and earth? Xiaodouzi asked curiously. In his opinion, nothing could stump his superiors. Many times, his superiors are able to perform miracles that are unbelievable.
"Heavens, so will I." Shang Wu said with a smile.
"Really, sir, get me a heaven there." Little Bean happily clapped her hands excitedly and pleaded.
"No, it's not time yet, we're missing a lot of things, but I've got something in mind. We can dig tunnels. Shang Wu said with a smile.
"Authentically?" Little Beanzi looked at Shang Wu. He didn't know what good idea his chief had come up with. But it was a good idea for him, because it meant that their commander had thought of a solution. Shang Wu actually thought of such a thing under the reminder of Xiao Douzi.
It is true that fighting on the plains is indeed not conducive to the current situation of Shangwu and his army, because many situations show that they will be very disadvantageous to fight on the plains without the advantage of numbers and equipment, even the ambush is also they need to carefully set up an ambush circle to complete, and it is almost impossible to fight defensive operations and ensure that their civilians are in a kind of absolute security.
But there is often a turning point in a crisis, and this turning point is authentic. Here, more than a thousand years later, an army invented tunnel warfare using unimaginable imagination. The plains are unfavorable, but when the tunnels are dug, a great defensive fortress will be formed throughout the underground. In a situation that is not clear, it is simply impossible to threaten the life of the defender.
You know, the U.S. military suffered such a big loss during the Vietnam War, and they began to actively study Chinese tactics, and in this regard, they also introduced films like "Tunnel Warfare" to study, study, and spend a lot of time and energy, and Shangwu once studied this tactic. The result of their research is that if they are difficult to clear under ordinary technology, and even if they do, the military technology they need is quite expensive, but the cost of tunnels is insignificant, and the damage caused is extremely limited.
Now his own side belongs to the weaker side, so it is natural to use such tactics as authenticity. Because Shang Wu needs a complete defense system, he must consider the security of his base area.
"Let's go, let's get ready, let's have a meeting, I'm going to tell you about this idea." Shang Wu became excited, and he seemed to have found a way to fight in the plains. Xiaodouzi also excitedly followed his chief to the meeting.
Shang Wu currently has only sixty-seven troops, and Lao Mu has half of his troops, which makes Shang Wu's military strength drop a lot, but he knows that it is the ability to scatter beans into soldiers, and if he succeeds, he will have a larger base and a relatively large sphere of influence.
"Sir, gather us this time, do you want to tell us the story of Zhu Yuanzhang again?" A squad leader asked his supervisor excitedly.
"Yes, sir, we haven't had a story like this for a day. Tell us about it. This Zhu Yuanzhang is amazing, the Wenqu stars in the sky have come down to help, can it not be successful? We've decided. In the future, we will value them and not kill them. One of the team members said.
"Not only a scholar, as long as he is not a bad person, he can't be killed." Kuroko said solemnly.
"Yes. Sir. The team member said. Kuroko has become much more well-behaved, and many orders he has strictly followed. He was afraid that Shangwu would not let him participate in the battle.
"Huh. Come on. Don't talk about it. Don't kill innocents indiscriminately in the future. Otherwise, if you kill too much, you will be punished. Shang Wu said in terms of cause and effect.
"Yes, sir." Everyone said. They know that their superiors are doing it for their own good.
"Alright. Today we're going to get down to business. Shang Wu said.
"Now we are stationed in Lijiazhuang. Rooted in roots, however, this root is not yet strong, why do you say that, because there are plains all around, and the enemy can easily touch them, and if one of us is not careful, a few hundred people, it will be all over. That's my biggest concern at the moment. Shang Wu said.
"At the same time, the food problem is also a big problem, there are so many of us, although we can help with the work, but this food, but still can't feed us, therefore, we still need to continue to fight and get more food. Supplies in kind. Shang Wu said.
"However, after we go out to fight, who will guarantee our family and rear base areas, it is difficult for us to guarantee that when we attack, the enemy will attack our rear, in that case, our entire base will fall into a huge disaster." Shang Wu said.
Speaking of this, everyone nodded in agreement, the reason why these people are willing to join the Red Turban Army is because the Red Turban Army protects their families, and they can understand why Shangwu has always taken them to the mountains, the reason is because it is safe there. If people are not safe, they will be nervous, uneasy, and this is what they understand.
"Sir, what are we going to do?" A squad leader stood up and said. Apparently he was also worried about his family.
"Well, it's very simple, dig the tunnel, this is the good way I came up with it." Shang Wu said.
"Dig a tunnel." Some looked at it.
"Yes, the authenticity is good, if the enemy comes, we will hide so that the other party cannot be found, so that our family will be safe." One person agreed.
"No, no, if you find it, you can't run when you enter the tunnel. In the end, the smoke is over, and our people are all finished. Not good. A squad leader said.
"Hmm. All right. We should not see him as a simple hideout, but when necessary, he is also a weapon of attack. is the core of defense. Shang Wu said.
"Attack, can this tunnel still listen to us?" Many people asked puzzled. Because they can't think of any other skills.
