Chapter 248: The Special Skills of the First Army
When Zhong Haiyang rushed over with his troops, the battle was completely over.
Looking at the long list of British soldiers who were tied up with leggings and hung their heads in front of him, the first few officers still had swollen noses and faces, Zhong Haiyang said with a surprised face: "I said Lao Liang, you really made it this time." More than 200 people in one squadron captured more than 300 Brits! ”
Liang Song looked proud, waved his hand and said, "It's a little meaning, sprinkle water." ”
The sunspot next to him interjected with Xianbao: "Captain Zhong, not only these, but we also destroyed a company of the British before." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Haiyang was even more surprised: "Lao Liang, you can, more than 200 people in a squadron killed a battalion of the British, your luck is really good!" ”
Zhong Haiyang is really envious of Liang Song's luck, if it were him, he would be sure to do the same as Liang Song. Even if it can't be better than Liang Song, it's not much worse.
After all, the First Army is the elite of the elite that His Highness has high hopes for, and although there are more recruits, he is still confident in dealing with these British.
"I said old bell, didn't you find anything over there?" Liang Song was in a good mood at the moment, and asked with a smile.
Just now, because the British battalion commander wanted some gentlemanly treatment, Liang Song was angry and laughed, and directly cleaned up the British, which eliminated the fire in his heart, so this would be a very good mood.
There was already competition between the two armies, and the first army was named the first army in the world, which made Liang Song a little unconvinced, so it was a bit of a show off at this time.
Zhong Haiyang smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Old Liang, don't be too proud. It's just an appetizer. This time, the British have a lot of reinforcements, I don't believe that all these tens of thousands of British soldiers can be covered by your second army? ”
The two fought a few words, but they were both in a normal state of competition.
But bickering is bickering, but it doesn't delay the business.
"Lao Liang, have you tried these Brits? What is the purpose of their operation, and what is the plan of action for the follow-up? Zhong Haiyang asked in a deep voice.
Speaking of this, Liang Song was a little depressed.
None of the people on his side could speak English, and although the British soldier John could speak a few words of Central, he was also very limited, and he was so weird that he couldn't ask much useful stuff at all.
Listening to Liang Song's complaints, Zhong Haiyang smiled slightly, and grabbed a British officer who walked by, seeing that the rank was a second lieutenant.
"Listen, we are the first army of the Ming Imperial Defense Army, I will ask you a few questions now, you need to answer truthfully, if you cooperate, we guarantee that you can be treated better. If you don't, you're going to suffer. ”
Zhong Haiyang opened his mouth and spoke fluent English, which directly stunned Liang Song on the side.
The British second lieutenant was also a little surprised to see that the enemy officer in front of him could speak English, but after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, please ask, I will tell you everything I know." As long as you can make sure we don't get abused. ”
Liang Song had seen the scene of their battalion commander Hunter and a few people before, so he finally met a person who could speak English, so he naturally didn't dare to do much more.
"Very good, I ask, you answer." Zhong Haiyang nodded and smiled.
The two asked and answered, and soon Zhong Haiyang got the information he wanted.
Looking at Liang Song who was stunned, Zhong Haiyang was really happy in his heart, this kid was still proud just now, and now he has stolen the limelight again.
"I said, old bell, why are you talking about this British guy? You can't be an Englishman spy, are you? Liang Song asked incredulously.
"What nonsense are you kids. Being able to speak British is really not a good thing in our First Army, and it is usually tight. Zhong Haiyang said with an indifferent smile.
In fact, he is bragging, and there are very few people in the First Army who can speak English.
Only the captain of the reconnaissance brigade and several squadron leaders were trained in this area.
This is still Jiang Chuan's consideration that the First Army is going to the southeast region to fight the British, during which it will inevitably scratch the tongue and interrogate the prisoners, and if you know English, you will get information as soon as possible.
As the eyes and ears of the First Army, the reconnaissance brigade is often the first unit to appear at the front of the battlefield, so it is natural to select them as the object of training.
After all, language is a matter of talent, and they are all zero-based, so it is not easy to learn.
So in the end, after elimination, only the captain Duan Peng and a few squadron leaders were left to participate in the training.
Of course, this training is also a crash course. The main content of the training is oral English, and the scope of learning is mainly some words and sentences commonly used on the battlefield.
Although Egawa can speak English, he is not a professional.
However, he also has a pure Englishman in his hand - the foreign girl Mo Dai, so it just came in handy.
Although Zhong Haiyang's English level is still very bad in Mo Dai's opinion, it is already lightning in the ears of Liang Song, who does not understand English at all.
Looking at Liang Song's depressed expression, Zhong Haiyang was full of joy and laughed.
finally pulled back a city and hit this kid's pride.
However, in order to confirm the accuracy of the information, Zhong Haiyang asked a few more British prisoners, and finally confirmed that what the second lieutenant said just now was true.
After killing a 500-strong British reconnaissance battalion and obtaining the required information, this reconnaissance and search mission can be regarded as a successful completion, and it is obvious that the gains are far beyond imagination.
In addition to leaving a part of the two reconnaissance squadrons to occupy the two salients on both sides of the official road, Liang Song and Zhong Haiyang led the others to escort more than 300 prisoners back.
By this time, it was already getting dark.
Zhou Ze's 2nd Regiment and the main forces of the 1st Army have also begun to cross the river.
By this time, the rain had begun to fall in the sky.
Zhou Ze wore a raincoat and followed Bai Mu, the commander of the First Army, standing on a high ground and observing the surrounding environment and the situation of the troops crossing the river with a telescope.
Before the troops crossed the river, they had collected a number of boats and formed several pontoon bridges on the not too wide river, and the Wehrmacht horses and horses were shuttling through them in an orderly manner.
"Commander Bai, the reconnaissance force is back." Zhou Ze suddenly pointed to the front of the official road and said in a deep voice.
Bai Mu also saw a group of gray figures who came out of the dense forest and appeared on the official road, but what attracted his attention more were the bright red figures sandwiched between the gray figures.
"It seems that they have gained a lot." Bai Mu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
