Zhang Chu gave the order to set off, and a small team of only a dozen people set off. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to ensure safety, Zhang Chu and his team members are one person and two horses, which can not only carry more supplies, but also speed up the march at critical moments.

Zhang Chu's operation this time was destined to be more difficult, according to the prior information, there was no tribe of the Houjin people in the place closer to the base, and Zhang Chu and the others had to march for a long time to reach a selected target.

Wang Chengen was full of energy, full of curiosity about everything along the way, although the spring Liaodong was full of dry grass and bare land without any greenery, but every mountain and river made him very excited.

When the group stopped to take a break, Wang Chengen came to Zhang Chu's side and began to ask endless questions: "You said that the clods of soil here are about to catch up with the stones, and planting grain can yield high?" "Are there any minerals in this mountain?"

Zhang Chu now regrets a little bit that he has nothing to do on the road, and tells Wang Chengen how the Northeast is rich in products. "Princess, we are in a state of battle now, we must pay more attention to the situation around us, we must rest well, maintain good physical strength, and be ready to fight at any time, let's go back and talk about the situation in the northeast." Zhang Chu still has a way to shut him up, and when it comes to the requirements of the battle, Wang Chengen will seriously carry it out.

"Zhang Dashuai, can I ask you one thing?" Wang Chengen's expression was a little twisted when he spoke.

"Something to ask me?" Zhang Chu was a little strange, along the way, Wang Chengen really marched like an ordinary soldier, and did not make any special requests.

"That's the case, can Zhang Dashuai not call me father-in-law in the future. Although there is nothing wrong with eunuchs, it is better not to show differences when we are together, you can just call me by my name. Wang Chengen still wants everyone to treat him as a normal person in his heart, and being called a father-in-law in the palace feels a kind of respect, and after staying in the barracks with Zhang Chu for a long time, he hopes to be the same as everyone.

Zhang Chu looked Wang Chengen up and down, and saw that Wang Chengen was wearing the gray camouflage military uniform of the security army, except for the fine skin and tender meat, there was really not much difference from the young soldiers of the security army. So he said, "Okay, I'll tell you to accept your grace." ”

A few days later, Zhang Chu and the others hid not far from the target, and the soldiers sent out to reconnoiter also returned after a while.

"This is a small tribe of only three or four hundred people, sheltering from the wind and wintering in the valley ahead, and they have probably received the warning of the Houjin people, and have set up a barrier with vehicles at the mouth of the valley, and have also set up a sentry post, and the tents in the valley are also concentrated, presumably to be able to take care of each other in time. You can get in from other places, but it's a hassle when you want to retreat. The scout reported the situation to Zhang Chu.

"Good, that's a good goal. We take a break and move in the middle of the night. ”

The soldiers chose a hidden place to prepare food according to Zhang Chu's order, and since they were already very close to the enemy, they could not make a fire, so everyone could only eat convenience food.

Zhang Chu made ample preparations for the operation in Liaodong, and in terms of food for the soldiers, there were not only fried noodles with sugar and salt and various canned foods in iron boxes, but also very simple self-heating food.

The ability to have tin boxes and canned food is also due to the development of iron smelting technology and the development of hydraulic rolling mills by the security army, and now the security army has been able to use the power of water to roll very thin iron sheets. Zhang Chu ordered someone to make a small box of iron sheets, put the food into a high-temperature heating lid and seal the lid, so that he had a large number of cans, and he directly crossed the stage of using glass bottles or porcelain jars, these iron cans are not afraid of bumps, and are more suitable for use on the battlefield.

Zhang Chu's invention of this self-heating food is very simple, that is, the iron box is made into a double layer, the outer layer is put into quicklime and the inner layer is put into the food, as long as a small amount of water is added to the quicklime when in use, the quicklime reacts with the water and will release a large amount of heat, and the food inside will be heated.

There is a reason why Zhang Chu has put so much effort into these things, he knows that in the future, he will not only have to face a powerful enemy in the northeast region, but the cold weather is also a great enemy of the troops, so although it is early spring this time, Zhang Chu still brought a lot of cold things to test. In addition to these foods, Zhang Chu and they also brought sweaters made of wool and sleeping bags filled with duck down, Zhang Chu can proudly say that their products are natural and handmade, and the soldiers are very satisfied after using these things these days, and there is no difficulty in sleeping outdoors with these equipment on cold nights.

After eating, the rest of the people, except for the sentry, quickly fell asleep, and they had adapted to this life, falling asleep immediately when they needed to rest, and they could go to war for days and nights without rest.

In the second half of the night, the sentinels woke everyone up, and the soldiers counted their equipment silently in the dark, and the time to set off was up.

Zhang Chu took the lead in riding a horse and walked in front of the team, and the warriors also carefully controlled the horses to follow him closely, and Wang Chengen also remained silent in the procession. Soon everyone came to the valley where the Houjin people were stationed, and everyone dismounted and gathered the horses in one place to be guarded, and walked a distance into the valley.

Through the starlight, you can see that the Houjin people have piled up a barrier with vehicles and debris not far from the valley mouth, leaving only a small gap for entry and exit, and sent people to stand guard at the gap.

Zhang Chu and the others got closer and found that there were only two people at the sentry, leaning on the vehicle next to the gap and napping on this cold night. Although they were sent to stand guard, they always thought that the kind of attack was far away from them, and to stand outside on such a cold night was simply to find their own guilt, and they folded their hands and craned their necks in the hope that the changing of the guard would come sooner.

Zhang Chu made a gesture, and the two security soldiers pulled out their short knives and quietly moved forward, only to see a few of them rise and fall and quietly came to the side of the sentry, the two of them rose up and blocked the sentry's mouth with their hands at the same time, the steel knife had been inserted into the enemy's heart, and after checking that there was no other threat, they made a safe gesture to Zhang Chu.

The obstacle was removed, and Zhang Chu led the people into the valley.

The Houjin people had set up their tents very tightly, and now it was pitch black, with neither light nor sound.

Zhang Chu: They came outside the tent and started to act according to the division of labor. Some fighters took down the directional mines "facing the enemy" and placed them on both sides of the passage of the Houjin camp, and pulled the lead.

The others focused on the grain and hay stored by the Houjin, buried the fire-starting things in the grain and grass, and carefully evacuated the Houjin's camp.

The Houjin people were still asleep and did not feel anything unusual in the camp.

Zhang Chu led people to find a piece of favorable terrain outside the camp, and waited patiently for the Jin camp to catch fire. (To be continued.) )
