Chapter 255: A Perfect Decapitation Operation

It was the 47th Army's reconnaissance team that killed Gavin, and they carried out a perfect decapitation operation.

In Jiang Chuan's thinking on army building, the reconnaissance brigades in the various armies of the National Defense Force have the shadow of the special forces of later generations.

Although due to the limitations of the times, it is impossible to have the same strong combat effectiveness as the special forces of later generations, and perform a variety of special tasks.

However, Jiang Chuan also adapted to the times, using the existing equipment to strive to make all the reconnaissance units have the capabilities of some special forces.

This is undoubtedly a kind of advanced thinking in the current era background, which naturally causes the reconnaissance brigade to become the most elite unit among all units.

Each of Egawa's generals had a different command style.

For example, this time, Bai Mu advocated a frontal attack even more, using the most powerful force to directly crush the enemy.

Chu Yunfei of the 47th Army was a general who was more adept at planning and then acting, and his command style was more inclined to the scalpel-like combat of precision strikes.

For example, this beheading operation was carried out by the reconnaissance team after Chu Yunfei proposed it.

For a commander who was defenseless behind him and was very contemptuous of his enemies from the point of view, Gavin could be said to have died unjustly.

The commander hung up as soon as the war began, and there were more than a dozen officers and officers of all sizes who hung up with him, so it can be said that the entire Harr army was doomed to a tragic end from the beginning.

The leaderless soldiers of the Harr Army were no match for the 47th Army, which had been preparing for a long time, and the soldiers of the Wehrmacht were only under the onslaught, and the soldiers of the Harr Army began to scatter and flee, turning an ambush into a battle to capture prisoners.

This made Chu Yunfei feel a kind of frustration when he punched the cotton, and in desperation, he could only order the whole army to change from attacking to chasing prisoners.

And the ferocity and savagery of the so-called heroic Indo-Har soldiers, whom Gavin was so proud of, were simply not enough to see in front of the 47th Army, which was composed entirely of veterans of the Qin army.

At first, there were some stunned young people who were not afraid of death, shouting curry-flavored English and rushing up with bayonets, but after being slapped on the heads by the Wehrmacht soldiers with sapper shovels, they all became cowardly, threw down their rifles and scurried around.

When Bai Mu rushed over with the First Army to reinforce him, Chu Yunfei met him: "Old Bai, hurry up and give the order to help me capture the prisoners." ”

Although the Wehrmacht soldiers of the two armies tried their best to capture prisoners everywhere, in the end, after the count, there were only about 7,000 British soldiers who were killed, and the remaining 3,000 or 4,000 ran away.

No way, there are dense forests and hilly terrain all around, and it is really easy to escape.

And after the identification of the prisoners, it was also confirmed that it was indeed the commander of the Foreign Legion who was killed by the reconnaissance team in the first place.

Bai Mu and Chu Yunfei got together and began to discuss the next step.

"Lao Bai, now that so many defeated soldiers have fled, once they are asked to pass the news back, the enemy will be on guard, which will cause us a lot of trouble." Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice.

Bai Mu nodded and said, "That's right." Although the British are not very good in the field, if they are allowed to hide in the city and defend the city, then it will be a bit difficult for us to defeat them. ”

Although more than 20,000 people from the two armies of the British were killed in today's battle, they still had two armies of 20,000 or 30,000 people stationed near Fuzhou City.

David didn't bring all the troops out this time, first, he thought that two armies of more than 20,000 people were enough to capture Wenzhou City, after all, according to their intelligence, the Chinese defense army in Hangzhou was only more than 10,000 people.

In addition, he was still a little worried about Zheng Zhilong, so the two armies stayed near Fuzhou to monitor this and deter Zheng Zhilong, so as not to make small moves that were unfavorable to him.

Moreover, Zheng Sen is still in their hands, nominally a joint operation, but in fact, it is just to treat him as a hostage who will blackmail Zheng Zhilong in the future.

Therefore, David did not bring Zheng Sen this time, because he did not want Zheng Sen to prevent him from occupying the two cities of Wenzhou and Hangzhou.

Bai Mu had already learned this information from the captives, so it was time to make a decision.

"Old Chu, it seems that we still have to march overnight." Bai Mu looked at Chu Yunfei and said in a deep voice.

"You mean Jianning City?"

"Yes, since Zheng Zhilong dares to let the British attack us, then we will take his hometown to the end. Since you have to do it sooner or later, let's just don't do it and talk about it. However, it can't be too easy, so I have to leave some thoughts for Zheng Zhilong. Bai Mu said with a smile.

"Lao Bai, are you going to surround the point to send reinforcements?" Chu Yunfei instantly understood what Bai Mu meant.

"Haha, of course, this trick is the best. I heard that Zheng Zhilong is a dutiful son, as soon as we fight Jianning City, the movement will be bigger, and Zheng Zhilong will definitely send troops to rescue. When the time comes, once Zheng Jiajun can't figure it out, Zheng Zhilong will definitely turn to the British for help.

If the British don't dare to send troops, then their alliance will be completely finished, and it is just right for us to break it individually. If the British dare to come, we will let them come and not return. ”

Bai Mu said in a deep voice.

Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "I agree with your arrangement." The task of this reinforcement must be the heaviest, and I will bear it. ”

Bai Mu did not shirk, nodded and said: "Then it will be arranged, we will each leave a battalion and the second regiment of the Second Army to assist in the defense of Wenzhou City and guard the prisoners." The other troops immediately set off for Jianning City. ”

After the two discussed and stopped, they immediately gave the order to set off.

Each of the two armies left a battalion to escort the prisoners into the city of Wenzhou, while the rest of the troops marched towards the city of Jianning overnight with torches.

Now it is a time difference, although those British soldiers who want to escape from the dense forest back to Jianning City will not be so smooth, and many people may die in the jungle, but Bai Mu does not want to take this risk.

There is always some luck in the rout of thousands of people, once the enemy in Jianning City hears the news, if they have prepared in advance, or send Zheng Zhilong's old mother away, then Bai Mu's strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements may be greatly reduced.

By this time, it was already dark, and the two armies were carrying torches, winding along the official road like a giant dragon with no end in sight.

Although the ground was slippery and muddy, the soldiers were still marching at as fast a pace as they could.

The pack horses used by the logistics troops to transport ammunition, grain and grass spewed white gas between their noses and followed the footsteps of the soldiers at a rapid pace.

Fortunately, it did not rain again that night, but it made the march of the army less difficult.

After a night of rapid marching, they finally arrived outside Jianning City before dawn.

And I don't know when, the clouds that have been floating and sinking in the sky for a few days have quietly dispersed, and a waning moon hangs in the sky, revealing the huge outline of Jianning City.
