780 guerrilla regiment
The old man's speech also illustrates the attitude of the people of the Qin State. The people of the Qin State, especially the older generation of the Qin State, attached the most importance to the situation of the soldiers on the battlefield, and they never left their own people to flee at the critical moment. It's a tradition of theirs. This tradition has survived to the present day. It's a battlefield brotherhood. This emotion is a sense of trust built on an extreme environment. Maintain such a sense of trust. It's not just manpower that costs. There's also a lot of mental power. Preserve such mental power. It is also a responsibility of the government.
Speaking of which, this incident was very unexpected. And it was very unexpected. Qin's newspapers quoted an officer who worked in the Qin's general staff, who did not want to be named.
"Our people, lost contact over there, and now the situation has become very bad, you know, there are only three hundred people over there, and there are a lot of people besieging them. Where are the tens of thousands. And the people of Qi have already interspersed from there. The entire airport has been split in half. The situation is very unfavorable for us. If we don't support it, we will probably all be killed. Let's hope something like this doesn't happen. The officer said. Reporters published the conversation as a report in the Qin newspapers. As soon as the news came out in the newspapers. The entire Qin State was in an uproar.
"Excuse me, how are our people doing now? It's not like the newspaper says, it's been cut off. ”
"Haven't our reinforcements arrived yet? When will our people be able to solve their difficulties. The reporter asked anxiously. And the military spokesman of the Qin State said nothing.
"First of all, I want to make it clear that the situation is not that bad at the moment. We are still able to maintain telegraph communication with the besieged Qin army. Second. The contact between the two strongholds is only a telephone contact, and the local Qin army is currently working hard to repair it. It will not take long for communication between the two places to be restored. Everyone must rest assured in this place. There is absolutely no problem with that. The spokesman said.
"Finally. What we want to make clear is that we should not be so pessimistic, but optimistic. At present, armies from all walks of life are being assembled. The support forces of the Qin army, especially the air forces, were close to being deployed. We shouldn't worry too much about this. The spokesman spoke optimistically. This. Journalists have their own opinions, and they believe that the Qin military is a little too optimistic. Moreover, they themselves do not yet know what is really happening at the front. The specific situation at the front. Since the reporter did not intervene, it usually takes five or six days at the earliest. But because it was a war, the military requisitioned all the planes as quickly as possible. Therefore, it is more difficult to intervene temporarily. But it won't be long before journalists are able to report concrete data on the ground.
Despite this, some journalists raised the last thing the military wanted to raise. The crux of the matter is when the ground forces will be able to arrive.
"Excuse me, when will our ground forces be able to reach the theater of operations, how many people will be able to enter, and how much influence the air will have on a ground war. How much damage was caused, if we did not have the support of ground forces, our men would still be besieged. Moreover, the final victory in the war is still the victory in the ground war. Can you explain that? The reporter asked.
"This, this." The spokesman apparently didn't expect it either. The reporter will ask such sharp questions.
"We can't be sure about that yet. After all, this is a very professional question. For our ground forces. You know. There are a lot of countries that are helping us. And, the problem of transportation, you understand this. The railways in the various countries to the east are not very well developed. The spokesman said.
"Well, can I understand that?" The reporter then asked.
"So isn't it, our ground forces, just some foreign troops, we didn't send ground troops in our own country, but only sent some air units to provide air support. Isn't it just perfunctory? Regardless of the lives of the soldiers on the front line. The reporter seized on the language errors and loopholes of the press spokesman and asked sharp questions.
"This." The press spokesman raised his hand in a panic, not knowing how to explain the problem.
According to our understanding, the assembly speed of foreign armies is far less fast than we imagined, especially the Yan army, they are still staying at the Xinzheng Railway Station, and the progress of the Zhao army is also very slow, so where are our people? Where are our troops? Isn't it, our military thinks that it is not worth starting a large-scale war for 300 people, and plans to sacrifice those 300 people. The reporter asked sharply.
"No, no. It's absolutely impossible. The spokesman flatly denied it. But even this does not explain the current predicament of the Qin military. This fact has already been revealed. This fact is that so far, the Qin military has indeed only sent some air units to participate in the war, ground troops, but only used its own diplomatic advantage to involve foreign troops. In this way, Qin's own people need foreign troops to rescue. And foreign armies dragged their feet. As a result, Qin's aid could not arrive for a long time. This is very unfavorable to the besieged Qin army.
In a Qin country where the news media was developed. People receive different messages every day. This information has a different focus every day under the operation of the reporter. These focuses are the focus of attention of the people of Qin. Now the focus is still on the life safety of the besieged Qin army. At this time, this information was reported. This means that the Qin military was not fully prepared. Putting the power of rescue on someone else is a very disadvantageous situation.
"It seems that our military is really not fully prepared, and the military is procrastinating, and in the face of rescue, it has put its main hopes on foreign troops. It is worth mentioning that we do not know why our army cannot send troops, whether it is the diplomatic situation, or other reasons. We don't know. So wrote a newspaper.
As soon as the news came out. There was an immediate uproar, and the people of Qin gathered to protest the military's inaction. Efficiency drags. Putting the lives of their own soldiers at risk.
"This kind of general should get out of the Qin army." The angry people of Qin shouted such slogans. They gathered in front of the Qin State General Staff, and in this way they tried to force the Qin army to send ground troops. But this situation was not what Qin wanted.
"We people should maintain restraint and maintain some rationality, you must know that the Qin State cannot intervene in the war between the Yan State and the Qi State on a large scale at present, the Qin State has no obligation or responsibility to participate in such a war that has nothing to do with the Qin people, the war is the people of Qi and Yan, not ours, we Qin people are just accidentally involved." The spokesman of the Qin State kept saying. But by this time, there were no more journalists who listened to them. They turned their attention to the anger of the people of Qin.
"Our military can't help those kids, so we should help them." In the northern part of the Qin State, near the Yan State. This is the rear gathering place of the mercenaries of the Qin State. The people here are fierce. Competitive and aggressive. The main thing is that the people who move here have to adapt quickly to survive. They have to constantly fight against their surroundings, especially the constant attacks of ethnic minorities in the north. Plus they constantly take the initiative to attack. Therefore, this kind of fierce and aggressive atmosphere has gradually been integrated into their folk customs.
"So what are we going to do?" A middle-aged man asked. Then the man was pinned with a full bullet belt. These cartridge belts are all bullets from machine guns. Apparently, this is a machine gun operator.
"We organize an army. His own army entered the territory of Yan State. Open a channel to help our own people withdraw. The leader said.
"Well, I agree, we need to give our army a name." The man suggested.
"Yes, we should have a name, and, if we want our country to go on a campaign, give a name, so that we can be famous." Another suggested.
"Yes, yes." All of them agreed.
"We should have done this a long time ago." Some said.
"What's your name?" Some asked.
"What's it called!" The one who took the lead thought about it.
"How about we call the cavalry regiment?" One man proposed.
"It's not good, the local garrison is the cavalry regiment, and we have the same name as them, then it means that we are a regular army." One retorted.
"Yes. Not good. Some said.
"Well, let's call it the Rapid Cavalry Regiment. Or call it ・・・・・・・," one man suggested.
The crowd vetoed this approach by shaking their heads.
"We have horses in every house, and we are characterized by fast and flexible combat." The leader said.
"Our tactics are swimming, that is to say, we are swimming like water. We're calling it the Ranger Corps. The leader said.
"Well, we should change that, though. How about changing it to a hit, and hitting it? One person suggested.
"Yes, yes, it does." The leader said.
"Well, our guerrilla regiment was formed." The leader said.
"Okay." The crowd shouted loudly. Subsequently, the mercenaries of the Qin State spontaneously formed guerrilla regiments. Although their number was small, at first only two hundred. But they have unprecedented support, they don't have a strong logistical supply system. Their weapons and ammunition are of different calibers, but their weapons are all their own, as long as they are convenient to use.
The most important thing is that on the way to the south, more and more people are involved, and they have received the support of many people, especially the support of the Qin people, and of course some Yan people are also involved, they are not helping the Qin people, but they feel that their country should participate in it themselves.
