(Thank you for the reward of the book friends, thank you for the recommendation votes of Linhai Lonely Goose, thank you QUQU, I can't help but say the silent support of others, thank you for the recommendation votes of new and old friends)
On July 6, Wang Yue convened a military meeting.
Wang Hongwu is now appointed as the commander of the fourth battalion, and the teaching company has been expanded to the fourth battalion. Feng Yuanshan was appointed commander of the fifth battalion, and Xu Liang was reappointed as the commander of the first battalion and one company. Wang He, the former commander of the recruit battalion, was appointed as the commander of the sixth battalion, and Feng Yihou, the former commander of the first company of the recruit battalion, was appointed as the commander of the recruit company. ”
Wang Yue continued: "Brothers, you should all know that the Tatars have broken through the customs and invaded the Jingshi area, and the Jingshi has been under martial law. About ten days later, we will attack Changping, and we will not have much time left. As a regimental training in Wanping County, it is impossible for us to go out to fight for no reason, which will cause misunderstanding in the imperial court. ”
"Therefore, the current work of our army is to draw a map of the surrounding terrain and go forward to reconnoiter the enemy's situation."
"Reconnaissance company commander Zhang Jian, your unit will send a platoon to Shijingshan to investigate from now on, and the other platoons will disperse to the surrounding area to reconnoiter and draw maps."
Zhang Jian said rightly: "Yes! ”
Wang Yue stood up and walked to the big map, which he had printed out after modifying the place name with the electronic map.
"Brothers, our first battle should be near Shijingshan." He patted Shijingshan's position.
"After the Tartars took Changping, the next ones were Fangshan and Baodi (now Tianjin) after Shunyi. We have to go to Fangshan here, and we don't know if the Tartars will target us yet, so we have to take the initiative. ”
He didn't care about the officers' guesses as to how he got the information, and continued to explain his strategy.
"Starting from Shijingshan, our army will follow in the footsteps of the Tartars to attack Huairou and enter Miyun, please pay attention to Miyun, there is the iron ore we need here. After the victory of our army in the battle with the Tartars, a battalion was to be stationed here. Apply for a Miyun training formation on the spot to protect our future mining area, who wants to accept this task? Raise your hand, please! ”
"Brush!" Four of the six battalion commanders raised their hands.
Wang Yue looked at it and said, "Zhang Jicheng, it's your camp!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Jicheng replied.
Zhang Ji became a cautious person, and Wang Yue trusted him enough.
"Feng Yuanshan's fifth battalion and recruit company stayed in the starting point city, and Feng Yuanshan served as the commander of the city. The 1234th Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, and the Reconnaissance Company formed an offensive corps, and the 6th Battalion had more recruits and served as a corps reserve. ”
"In addition, Chief of Staff Li Zixiong arranged soldiers to mobilize surrounding villagers to take refuge in the city."
Li Zixiong said: "Yes." ”
The total strength of the attacking corps was more than 2,400 men, including more than 500 new recruits and nearly 600 remaining troops.
In fact, the entire regimental training unit is considered a new recruit, and the definition of a veteran is a soldier who has been trained to shoot more than 300 bullets a day for more than half a month, and the definition of a recruit is a soldier who has been trained to shoot for less than 15 days.
According to the press release provided by Wang Yue, the starting point city radio station informed the whole city of the news of the Qing army's entry into the city.
Wang Yue asked all the people in the starting point city to work and live normally, because the Jingshi has been martial law and the gate of the Jingshi has been closed, so if it is not necessary, please do not leave the city easily.
He also stressed that the regimental training troops in the city have been prepared to defend against the enemy, and if the enemy appears under the starting point city, threatening the safety of the starting point city, he hopes that the general public of the starting point city can respond to the call and assist the defenders to defend the city.
I hope that everyone can unite as one and tide over the difficulties together at this critical time.
The press announcement was followed by the song "My Motherland".
As soon as the announcement came out, there was a lot of discussion in the city, and the fragmentary news that came from outside some time ago was confirmed today.
As soon as Guo Xiaobao got off work, he hurried home, and after listening to the news just now, he was uneasy.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that my father and mother were there, so I said, "Daddy, what can I do?" The Tartars are coming, so it would have been good if we had known that we would go back to Beijing to take refuge for the time being. ”
Guo Laohan said angrily: "The Tartars will come when they come, what is there to worry about, the days are not taken?" ”
"Dad, that's a hundred thousand Tartars, the Great Wall can't stop it, and it has already captured several county seats. I'm afraid this starting point city is enough to choke, there are valuable objects everywhere, can the Tartars let it go? As soon as Guo Xiaobao heard the number of tartars, his heart panicked.
Guo Laohan glared at his son and said, "Then what do you want?" Take me and your mother to the south and become outcasts? ”
Guo Xiaobao hesitated for a long time before saying: "I can't make up my mind, I always feel that the starting point city will definitely become fat in the eyes of the Tartars, so it is safe to leave here." ”
Guo Laohan stood up with a shout, "Bang! "Kicked my son in the ass.
Guo Xiaobao hugged the old man and shouted, "Old man, what are you doing here?" ”
"Don't stop me," Guo Laohan pointed at his son, panting angrily: "How can I raise such a forgetful thing as you, it's just a white-eyed wolf." How good has it been since our family came to this city? Three people have seven or eight taels of silver a month, did you dare to think before? ”
"We ate and drank from the owner, and lived with the owner, and even the clothes were given by the owner. You are also a squad leader now, and seven or eight people under your command follow, and the older ones all call you Brother Bao. These scenery are all given to you by the owner! ”
"Look at your father and me, I can get two taels of silver for a month every day, even the steward of the rich man's house in the countryside is not as comfortable as me. As for your mother, wash the clothes for a month and two or two, and the old ladies are beginning to be able to support their families. ”
"Our family's days are about to have a head, this is all the kindness of the owner! Oh, the owner is in trouble, you shit the oil on your mouth and you're going to run away. Do you still have the right conscience? ”
Guo Laohan was in a hurry and coughed again and again.
Guo Xiaobao got up with a grunt, helped his father, and patted him on the back.
"Dad, don't be angry, my son is wrong!"
Guo Xiaobao's mother also said: "Son, it's really your fault, I can't complain about your father scolding you!" This person wants to repay his kindness, and he can't just think about himself! ”
Guo Xiaobao also regretted it, what his father said was right, to be a man must be a conscience. Putting this aside, if you really run away this time, your own good life will come to an end, and the owner of such a person will still want you?
"Father, mother, the child understands, I was confused for a while."
Seeing that his son was repentant, Guo Laohan gasped and said: "If the Tartar comes, just fight his mother." It's not just about working for the owner! If this starting city is destroyed by the Tartars, our good days will come to an end, and if we don't die, we will have to go back to the overpass to carry the work, and we will not be able to eat enough to die of exhaustion. ”
He touched his son's head, and said with tears in his eyes: "Child, you are a man now, you have to be a little responsible." If you die desperately with the Tartars this time, it will be for the country, for the starting city, and for the good life of protecting us, and you will definitely not die in vain! With the bold and benevolent style of the owner, he will definitely not treat me and your mother badly. ”
Guo Xiaobao held back tears and nodded fiercely.
