Chapter 37: Ambush on the Plains
Qin Yongnian was secretly surprised when he heard that the situation of the widows was so similar to Zhu Youzhen's analysis. Zhu Youzhen did not leave the Beijing Division, how could he know the specific situation of the Japanese Kou? Could he have predicted the prophet? However, since the situation is the same as Zhu Youzhen expected, Zhu Youzhen's strategy for the Japanese should be targeted, and he should have done the right thing by handing over the command of the army to Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen was very uninterested in Wang Huai'an, Niang Xipi, Shandong's hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were defeated by the 2,000 Japanese invaders, and they still had the face to say how many Japanese invaders were killed? I don't know if Wang Huai'an is thick-skinned, or if he thinks they are officers who have just come out of a psychiatric hospital. "General soldier Wang, there are more than 100,000 government soldiers in Shandong, and only 2,000 Japanese soldiers, how can they be killed in the interior of Shandong?"
"This ......" Wang Huai'an was speechless, I don't know if it was because of his dark face, anyway, Zhu Youzhen and Qin Yongnian didn't see his face turn red, he deserved to be an old Jianghu! He stared at Zhu Youzhen, as if he was looking at an alien, his lips moved, perhaps forgave Zhu Youzhen for being too young and not understanding the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, he finally didn't speak.
"Uh-huh." Lu Chunru saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he coughed twice, planning to be a round, although he didn't care about the two low-level officers of the Fenwu battalion at all, but the bad guy was a reinforcement from the Beijing Division, and now the Japanese have not been eliminated, Jinan City is also dangerous, if Jinan City is broken by the Japanese Invaders, he, the governor of Shandong, also has the responsibility of defending the territory, and even if he can escape from the clutches of the Japanese Invaders, he may not be able to keep his floating wealth in Jinan City. "It's not early, General Qin and General Wang, the two of you have been tired all the way, and you're hungry, right? Let's talk while eating.
There were only four of them at the feast. Shandong's political envoy inspected Laizhou, and suddenly encountered an invasion of the Japanese invaders, the city of Laizhou was broken, and the whereabouts of the political envoy were unknown; According to the inspector, Wang Huai'an wanted to arrange to defend against the enemy, and he had to stay on the front line, so he represented Wang Huai'an and collected the rout troops outside, and the others could not reach the level.
Although the number of people is not large, in terms of diet, Lu Chunru is quite polite, in addition to the common chicken, duck, fish, beef and sheep, there are also a lot of seafood. Jinan is the capital of Shandong, located in the central west of the Shandong Peninsula, far from the sea, and now the Japanese are ravaging the Shandong Peninsula, I don't know where so much seafood came from.
Niang Xipi, Zhu Youzhen secretly scolded, people are "tight in front, tight in the rear" and lost the country, you Lu Chunru and Wang Huaian are tight in front, and the front is tight. The Ming Dynasty is not dead, there is really no heavenly reason, how did the emperor's brother raise these moths?
But now that the Japanese are not extinguished, they still need Wang Huai'an's cooperation, and Lu Chunru may need to allocate grain and grass, and it is not the time to settle accounts, Zhu Youzhen suppressed his anger.
"Come, General Qin, General Wang, you have come from afar, marching three hundred miles every day, for the people of Shandong, you have worked hard, this official respects you a cup, and washes the dust for the two generals." Lu Chunru took the lead, and Wang Huai'an also raised his glass.
Obviously, he came to destroy the Japanese and save the people, but now the shadow of the Japanese has not been seen, but it is like a triumph, Qin Yongnian's heart is very uncomfortable, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, the other party is still a Wenchen with a much higher status than himself, he and Zhu Youzhen glanced at each other, still raised the wine glass, and the four of them touched one.
"General soldier Wang, the Japanese didn't bring siege equipment, did they? How did they break the city? The smiling face and alcohol obviously couldn't suppress Zhu Youzhen's anger, although he also knew that the mildew of the government soldiers was not a problem in Shandong Province, but in Shandong, he was still very annoyed with Shandong's military affairs, hating the house and Wu, and even taking this often defeated general became a thorn in his side.
He is not like Qin Yongnian, he is the prince, and with the support of the emperor, he doesn't believe that he can't get a few magistrates, and it's a big deal to show the identity of the king. As long as he can defeat the Wako, besides, Thaksin's identity as the king will appear in the Fenwu camp sooner or later.
"This ......" Wang Huai'an, the eight-sided and exquisite general soldier, now seems to be unable to speak except for the word "no". No matter how thick-skinned he is, he is embarrassed to say that fleeing from the wind is a brave fight.
The four of them chatted a few words without being salty or indifferent, and Zhu Youzhen saw that he could no longer get any useful news, so he pulled Qin Yongnian to leave: "Lord Lu, Lord Wang, saving the people is like fighting a fire, the Fenwu camp will get up early tomorrow and hurry, so we will go back to the camp to rest first." ”
Although Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen's level is not as good as that of Lu Chunru and Wang Huai'an, they are still independent leaders and are not subject to the control of Lu and Wang, as for exchanging military information with each other, I'm sorry, the Fenwu Battalion has just arrived in Jinan and has not received any news.
"Since the two of you are busy with military affairs, this official will not keep you. This official is here to wish the two generals a successful start and an early extermination of the Japanese invaders. Lu Chunru saw that he couldn't pee in the same pot with the two of them, and he didn't keep it, he only stretched out his hand and sent the two of them off, and he didn't even bother to leave the seat, but Wang Huai'an, although he was repeatedly ridiculed by Zhu Youzhen, he still got up to see Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youzhen off.
Back in the barracks, Zhu Youzhen did not rest, he unfolded the map and immediately studied the method of destroying the enemy with Qin Yongnian.
"Commander, to the east of Linzi County is a plain, without mountains and forests, which is the place to annihilate the enemy." Zhu Youzhen pointed on the marching map and finally determined the main battlefield.
Linzi is Zibo, a little north to the west of Qingzhou Prefecture. Zhu Youzhen didn't want to hurt the people in the city when he annihilated the Japanese invaders, so the location for the annihilation of the Japanese invaders must be outside the city, and there was no obstacle in the field of vision outside Linzi City, which was a good place for ambushes.
"In this way, Qingzhou will be broken by the Japanese invaders, and the people in the city will ......" Qin Yongnian believed that since the army had arrived in Jinan, he would try his best to protect Qingzhou, an important town in Shandong.
"I hope it's too late to save Qingzhou City." Zhu Youzhen had already made a plan at the banquet, "Wang Mujiu? ”
"Yes." Wang Mujiu stepped forward and came in from outside the tent.
"You take the special combat team, immediately set off and rush to Qingzhou. If the Japanese did not break the city, the general of the Fenwu battalion ordered the defenders to close the city gate and make every effort to resist the enemy, and you personally commanded the first and second teams of the special combat team to assist the defenders to defend against the enemy, and ordered the third team to quickly send back the news; If Qingzhou City has been broken by the Japanese Invaders, there is no need to enter the city, inquire about the news on the spot, and judge the further movements of the Japanese Invaders, and try to attract the Wolves in the direction of Linzi County. Zhu Youzhen didn't know if the general of the Fenwu Battalion could deal with the defenders in Qingzhou City, but the army of the Fenwu Battalion had not yet arrived, so he had to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Mujiu knew Zhu Youzhen's identity, he saluted a military salute, and then ran away from the Chinese military tent and was ordered to go.
"Commander, the soldiers have rested, let them sleep well today, right? After three days of marching, the soldiers are tired enough, Jinan to Linzi, less than 200 miles, tomorrow evening will be able to arrive. If Qingzhou City is not broken, you can reach Qingzhou at night, and you can't see clearly at night, so you can use suspicious soldiers to contain the Japanese invaders; If Qingzhou City has been broken, lure the enemy to the east of Linzi City and enter the ambush circle. "Zhu Youzhen also knew that Ci was not in charge of the troops, but after all, the training time of the Fenwu battalion was not long, the personnel were not rectified, and the soldiers in the army were not eliminated, and this was the first time that the vast majority of soldiers left Beijing, so they couldn't put too much pressure on them. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and you still have to take your time in training.
"I have already said that this expedition is in the sole discretion of His Highness. However, I don't understand, since the east of Linzi City is a plain, with no mountains and no forests, how can His Highness arrange an ambush? Qin Yongnian felt that Zhu Youzhen had subverted his experience in warfare, and had always arranged ambushes, either in dangerous places in mountains and rivers, relying on raised peaks and rocks to hide; Or in deep trees and dense forests#, use trees and thorns to provide cover. I don't know how Zhu Youzhen arranged an ambush in a plain with no peaks and hills, no trees and reeds.
