464: Surprise?
The Russian army is very careless, every attack, like a suicide attack, rushes forward in a beautiful way, and then leaves with a disgraced face full of corpses, they do this, in addition to being able to consume a lot of ammunition of the Royal Army, it is difficult to even kill and inflict casualties.

But the Russians are always happy with each other, again and again with their lives to fill this illusion, in the face of huge casualties, the Russians did not appear a comprehensive rout, which is still very admirable, but that's all, the battlefield will not change because of your bravery, this is the place where the two sides compete for strength, if the Russians can succeed, then the Qing Dynasty in the early years, I am afraid it has already succeeded.
The Russian army did not reappear after the morning attack, and Qian Xiaofeng did not send a reconnaissance unit to follow them to investigate their tracks.
Anyway, no matter how rampant the Russians are, Qian Xiaofeng is a posture that cannot be defended, and this is precisely the combat posture of the entire Royal Army since the beginning of winter, they will not go out of their positions to fight with the Russians in the field, but stick to their positions, and then wait for the Russians to send them to the door.
If the Russians don't come, then they will hide in warm rooms and chat, and then spend the winter in peace, although this is still the front line, but for the soldiers, this kind of comfortable day is not much different from a vacation.
The previous ten months of fighting made everyone feel a little physically and mentally exhausted, and after these two months of rest, the mental strength of the troops has also recovered a lot, at least the soldiers no longer have this sense of exhaustion.
Qian Xiaofeng just went to the front line to take a look, and then ordered someone to clean up the corpses of the Russian army, and then there was no then, what should the troops do, and then wait for the distribution of New Year's supplies.
Their regiment was the northernmost unit of the Royal Army on this front, and it was necessary to defend an area with a radius of about three kilometers, that is, with the four battalions of the regimental headquarters as the center, about three kilometers from the outer triangle, and if there were villages and towns a little further away, they would also choose to build a new defensive line there.
But in the eastern part of Russia, where birds don't, Balmain occupied by the regimental headquarters is the only small town nearby, so the 123rd battalion can only camp in the wild, but because it is stationed for a long time, the camp also takes some warm measures, first with tents to set up shelves, and then cut down trees from the vicinity, and support them nearby, forming a simple shelter on the outside, and small arch fires on the inside, which can keep the temperature in the room within a certain range.
And after a long period of snowfall, the exterior is also covered with layers of snow, from a distance, if you are not careful, you can't see the situation here at all, plus the troops are also issued with snow combat equipment, in fact, it is a white cloak, although the device is very simple, but the effect is very prominent, often so that the Russian army can not find where their enemies are.
In the regiment headquarters, Qian Xiaofeng held his own rice bowl, which contained half a jar of corn porridge, which is also called corn grits in some places, which is a kind of coarse grain.
You must know that at night here, even boiling hot water can freeze directly, unless they eat directly in the cafeteria, and if they come back to eat, it is still a little difficult to eat a hot meal.
However, because the houses were not enough, the troops did not set up a separate canteen, but only prepared a large room for the cooking class, and when the meal was served, everyone went directly there to eat and then went back to their respective dormitories to eat.
Qian Xiaofeng is a person who likes to save time, anything that can save time, he will not let go easily, such as eating now, Qian Xiaofeng looked at the incomplete map, this map was captured from the Russian army, and there are also their own contents, as for some cities on the map, those that can be translated will be translated, and those that cannot be translated will be given a unified name, and some areas with particularly awkward names are generally directly renamed.
Qian Xiaofeng directly poured the cold vegetables into the warm corn porridge, and then put it directly on the charcoal fire to heat, the spoon in his hand kept stirring, and when the rice bowl began to heat up, he picked up the rice bowl and started eating.
It's the most time-saving way to eat, and it doesn't taste very good when it mixes, but so what's the matter? For them, the taste is secondary, anyway, after eating it in the stomach, it has to be mixed together, and if it can save some time, it can reduce the number of deaths, who cares about this?
Now almost the entire army eats like this, and some soldiers with a large amount of food will even break half of the compressed biscuit into it, but no one does it at present, because the compressed biscuit is proportional, and the hunger is always very fast when fighting, like this when there is no need to fight often, the materials have not decreased, and most people still choose to hoard some materials and wait until the time of the war to use them.
"Regiment Commander, the baggage team is here!"
Qian Xiaofeng had just picked up his dinner, and before he could eat, the guards outside the door knocked on the door and walked in, saying directly.
"Oh? It's not slow! Qian Xiaofeng put down his dinner, stood up with a smile, took off the thick military coat, put it on his body directly and walked towards the door: "Let's go, let's go and see what good things the baggage team has brought us." ”
In fact, there is no need for Qian Xiaofeng to greet them, almost the entire camp knows that the baggage soldiers are coming, and many people even stand outside and eat dinner and wait for the baggage soldiers, regardless of whether the dinner in their mouths is cold or not.
About ten minutes later, a long team slowly drove towards the camp, and even the 123rd battalion sent people over to understand the situation and wait to receive supplies.
Of course, receiving materials is secondary, and it is not early now, and when the unloading is completed, the time will not be too early after the regiment headquarters is counted and put into storage, and the distribution of materials will not be until tomorrow at the earliest, and the main purpose of these people is not to be able to get the letter home earlier?
Otherwise, each of the three battalions would send a deputy battalion commander with a squad of fighters? It's just a joke.
"New tanks?" As the convoy got closer and closer, Qian Xiaofeng gradually saw the tank walking in front of the team, he didn't have seen a tank, but he was sure that he had never seen this kind of tank.
"Commander, I feel that this tank is very solid (strong)!" The guard opened his mouth wide and said, "Look at this, at least it has to be 75 guns, right?" ”
"Okay, don't be stupid, your kid really cast the wrong baby, why did you come to the infantry regiment?" Qian Xiaofeng scolded with a smile, but for the soldiers under his command, Qian Xiaofeng still cherished it very much, "I'll talk to people later, so you can go up and feel it." When I have the opportunity in the future, I will apply to transfer you to the tank unit. ”
"Hehe, regimental commander, I just think the tank looks fierce, I'm still more comfortable with you, don't transfer me away." The guard replied with a smirk.
Qian Xiaofeng didn't pay attention to it, but the guard was right, this new tank is indeed very solid, but it looks very unusual on the surface. Qian Xiaofeng even thought in his heart, should he go up and experience it too?
Because he has received a letter from home, Qian Xiaofeng's sense of expectation is gone, and he still treats the materials this time with a normal heart, of course, as for the materials, the annual New Year materials have not disappointed, and at this point, the military department is still working hard.
However, the escort baggage team needs to send such a large battle? A tank platoon plus an infantry battalion, is there some new plan above? But it doesn't seem like it should be, I'm the supreme commander here, if there is a plan above, I shouldn't hide it from myself, but if I don't have a plan, why send armored troops over? Qian Xiaofeng was a little puzzled.
The convoy slowly drove into the town, and the troops in charge of the guard had already opened the barricades, and looked at the new tank with a curious expression, and his eyes were full of envy.
When the convoy entered the town, the barricades were restored to their original state, and the soldiers on duty could only continue to hold their posts. But they are not in a hurry, anyway, in half an hour it will be time to change the guard, and the most tragic thing should be the person who will replace them.
"Lao Ning, what are the good things in the supplies this time? Look at what your telegram says so mysterious. Seeing his old acquaintance Ning Chengshu, Qian Xiaofeng was not polite, he greeted him directly, handed over a cigarette, and asked with a smile.
"There are more good things, including beef, mutton and pork, rice, cooking oil, wine and tobacco, as well as peanuts, dates and melon seeds. And, of course, there are surprises you wouldn't expect. Ning Chengshu pointed to the truck he was riding.
There was a strange-looking machine gun there, although it played the role of a heavy machine gun, it didn't look as heavy as a heavy machine gun, and after Ning Chengshu's voice fell, the soldier in charge of the machine gun jumped down directly with the machine gun.
"The latest dual-purpose machine guns, fifty of yours." Ning Chengshu explained with a smile: "This thing is much better than Makqin, the rate of fire is fierce, the power is great, and one person can run with it." I can't apply for a few more than the above. But that's not the most pleasant surprise, you look there. ”
Following the direction of Ning Chengshu's finger, Qian Xiaofeng looked over and saw a man in civilian clothes jumping out of the cab of the truck, but he didn't notice it, but followed the people in the car down.
Why is this figure so familiar? But the next moment, Qian Xiaofeng saw the people in the car, big brother and sister-in-law? Qian Xiaofeng was shocked and couldn't believe it for a long time. (To be continued.) )
