Chapter 133: Special Operations Squad
Jiazi Shandong Ridge, a large area of trees, mostly Lu Junpine, mountain birch. These trees are not very tall, but they are dense, and as far as the eye can see, the mountains are covered with lush shade. People walk in the meantime, and it is difficult to find it.
A group of thirty-two people, including Long Feiyi, Yang Zheng, Ding Xiaoqi, Zhang Junbao, Grasshopper, Han Tiehu, Hei Maru, and Guoya, who should have been rewarded in Wan'an Military City, appeared in this lofty mountain and mountain in full armor.
On the same day, the battle of the horse wall was greatly damaged, and the Hague led the army to retreat. The Thunder Clans and the Junior Clans all participated in the pursuit battle, and rushed to kill with Zhao Hunting, and most of the Beiting Elite Cavalry who blocked them were under their gunfire. It must be said that pistols, especially shotguns, were used in horse warfare. Those who boasted of their superb riding skills and great bravery came to kill them from afar, and before they could rush in front of them, they were knocked over by a single shot. If you try to get up, you can make up for it with a pistol. They were clad in chain mail covered in mesh, like a sieve in front of the shotguns.
Although they participated in the war that day and made a lot of gains, they were not present at the harvest day meeting, because they had been ordered to leave the trail the day before, cross the mountains and mountains, make a big bend, and sneak into the eastern ridge of Jiazi Mountain to carry out special operations.
The two teams combined with nearly fifty people, and less than thirty people participated in the battle, and the rest of the soldiers stayed in the Wan'an Military City to protect their general Zhao Lie.
They were all dressed in a single color of gray and yellow, and their clothes were covered with strange prints of all sizes, including green, blue, brown, and black, which looked strange. Others don't know, at least that's how Long Feiyi felt when he first put it on. But strange to say, once you enter the jungle, this dress can dazzle people's eyes. With the sharpness of Long Feiyi's eyesight, more than a dozen steps away, he couldn't see the team members crouching there.
There are always unexpected whimsical ideas, and Long Feiyi is convinced, what is this called "camouflage uniform" clothes, which are far better than the night clothes when he used to perform the Dark Claw operation. However, no matter how good your clothes are, you can't stop the dense mosquitoes in this jungle, the poisonous insects that fall from the tops of the trees from time to time, and the mountain locusts that can get through your closed neckline sleeves at some point......
Fortunately, before leaving, Hong Siniang provided a batch of earthwork pills that can prevent mosquitoes and insects. The Li people can thrive for generations in Limu Mountain, where smoke miasma and poisonous insects are rampant, and they have their own way of repelling insects and preventing epidemics, and the effect is so good that even the national doctors who accompany the army are also amazed. Under the instruction of Zhao Lie, they have used the prescriptions provided by Hong Siniang to develop various marching powders, insect repellent drugs and mosquito repellent water suitable for use in the southern tropical regions.
Pills can repel mosquitoes and insects, but the smell of poisonous mosquitoes circling overhead and mountain grasshoppers burrowing in and out of clothes is not pleasant. According to Guoya, a sharp sentry and guide who accompanied the team, this clamp mountain is not far from the sea, and there are villages around the mountain, which is a habitable place, and there are not many poisonous insects and flying mosquitoes.
Ding Xiaoyi, who had been covering his head and didn't dare to look at the "mosquito cloud" above his head, said categorically: "If you kill me, you won't enter Limu Mountain." ”
Guoya teased him: "There are many kinds of mountain fruits and wild game in our Limu Mountain, you have never seen or eaten ......"
Ding Xiaoqi snorted: "Come less." What kind of fruits and game do you eat, it's good if you haven't been eaten full by poisonous insects and mosquitoes. ”
In this operation, with Long Feiyi as the captain, Ding Xiaoqi and Guoya as the deputies, the two teams each sent 12 people, plus two captains and deputy captains, a total of 26 special combat team members. The other six are all the best jungle hunters in the Red Jiao Camp.
Zhao Lie asked the special combat team to fight jointly with the Li soldiers, and also considered letting the team members learn the Li people's jungle tactics, so he arranged for Guoya to be the deputy of the team, so that he had a certain right to make suggestions. He also repeatedly exhorted that, in addition to the use of weapons, in terms of tactics such as attacking, marching, setting up ambushes, and evacuating, it is necessary to listen carefully to the opinions of Guoya and other Lebanese soldiers. As for epidemic prevention, drinking water, food and camping, we should try our best to follow their arrangements.
Long Feiyi was originally a hero in southern Gansu, strong in martial arts, bold and righteous, and was known as a hero along with Ouyang Guanhou. Because of his admiration for Chen Jizhou's loyalty and righteousness, and even more hating the ravages of Mengtar, he and the twenty-two heroes and righteous men shared Chen Jizhou's affairs. A hero like him can get along with the Li people in three cups and get along happily, so this cooperation is naturally not a problem. Sometimes Zhao Lie even felt that a man like Long Feiyi would definitely be a public security agent in the next generation, and he would definitely climb higher than himself.
Zhao Lie's equipment for the special combat team this time is also very complete: in terms of weapons, each member of the team is equipped with a shotgun, a pistol, a double-barreled short-barreled shotgun, 80 rounds of bullets and shotguns of various types, and five barrels of thunder cannons. There are also steel military daggers, short axes, throwing knives, machetes, crossbows and other melee covert weapons. Even if Guoya and other Li soldiers were issued muskets, they all had one long spear, two short guns, and all kinds of melee cold soldiers were readily available, and the equipment was more complete than that of the sharp sentinels.
There are not many weapons of large-area destruction at close range such as thunder artillery, which are similar to hand grenades, in military industrial bases. It's not that the process of making a thunder cannon is complicated, compared to a firearm, the manufacture of a thunder cannon is much simpler. Rather, because the raw materials of the hair pulling device are limited, a little less is used, so it cannot be equipped with troops. It can only be produced in small quantities and used by elite troops for special missions.
The costume is a gilly suit in the shape of a fishing net for ambush, and a few healthy mules carrying rattan armor and rattan hats of thirty-two people. Although the number sounds quite large, the weight of rattan armor and rattan hat is lighter than iron armor, about the same as leather armor, but the defense is better than leather armor, and it is not very difficult to carry a few healthy mules.
In addition, there are water cylinders, dry food belts, bullet belts, medicine kits, flint fire sickles, fire oil, etc., as well as climbing ropes, T-shaped pickaxes, claw hooks, thistles and other climbing aids.
The sophistication, professionalism, and completeness of the equipment really opened the eyes of the special combat personnel.
Combined, these pieces of equipment are not lightweight. Adults are okay, the members of the Thunder team and Li Bing are the elite of the elite, and it is not a problem to walk the mountain road with dozens of pounds on their backs. Most of the twelve members of the junior team are fourteen or fifteen years old, and they are all able to endure hardships and have quite good physical fitness. But the age is there, it is one thing to be able to grit your teeth and persevere, but it is another thing to be too physically exhausted to bear the energy.
Of course, Long Feiyi can't let the young team members run out of physical strength, so as not to be affected when they actually fight. So some strong adult team members were arranged to help carry guns, and then put some heavy weapons on the backs of healthy mules, which made it relatively easy for the young team members to get on the road.
The 32-person special operations team, which is still like a large army marching when marching, is divided into five groups: the forward is three Li soldiers plus one Thunder team soldier and one junior team soldier. There are five people on the left and right wings, two members of the Thunder team, two members of the junior team, and one Gari soldier. A group of five people at the back of the palace are all special combat members. The remaining 12 people are the central government's response.
Long Feiyi's arrangement also faithfully implemented Zhao Lie's intention: unity, cooperation, and learning.
At dusk, Kuromaru, a young warrior who was exploring the way forward, rushed back like a flyer, and an exciting news came: I saw the Yuan army camp.
