Chapter 278: Step by step
“…… This is Shuishan, about 145 miles away from Risheng Village...... That's six to seven kilometers...... Along the way, there are mostly grasslands, with few woods and low shrubs...... The Liu family's mansion is here, northeast of Shuishan, and the courtyard wall of his house is divided into two parts, and the courtyard wall of the inner courtyard is about 3 meters high, uh, more than 3 meters...... The outer courtyard is relatively low, only one person is high, and it is all rammed earth, but the scope is very large, almost the entire water mountain and a large area in the northwest of the water mountain are encircled. ”
In the center of the walled city of Ushido, in the newly built meeting hall, seven or eight fish oil torches illuminated the wide hall; The main responsible persons of the various departments of the Fuliao Army, the sentry commanders of the three outposts and most of the captains, Ge Bi, Yang Dijiao, and several newly promoted captains were all present, and they all quietly listened to Zhao Hai's introduction to the situation of the Liu family.
"According to the observation of several of our teams, in the watchtower on the top of Shuishan Mountain, the Liu family has at least ten people staring there, and there is almost no cover within a radius of four or five miles, and it is almost impossible to touch it!"
Chu Fan propped his hands on a large case in the center, stared at the rough map drawn by Zhao Hai, and asked without raising his head, "What about the night attack?" Can you consider it? ”
Zhao Hai glanced at Liu Zhongwen beside Chu Fan, thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy...... The road is relatively far, and no matter where you go ashore, you have to walk at least six or seven kilometers...... In addition, there is a big trouble, we have been guarding outside the Liu family's mansion for the past two nights, and found that there will be people patrolling the village from time to time at night, usually two people, and they do not raise fire, and the horse's hooves are wrapped in soft cloth, and there is almost no sound, which is the most difficult to watch out for! ”
Ling Ming hadn't returned to Jingyi County yet, so he naturally participated in the military discussion, and interjected at this time, "Childe, the night attack is indeed too risky...... This Marquis of Liu Yu had heard of it in Jingyi County, and he had more than 300 cavalrymen with horses and armor. It's Jeju Island, oh no, even the elite in North Korea...... The reaction was very fast, last time Jin Yongtai rectified a village head of the Liu family because of the forced conscription of horses, and took people into prison in the morning, and in the afternoon the cavalry of the Liu family rushed to the foot of Jingyi City - that is a hundred miles away! ”
Chu Fan frowned when he heard this. He understood what Zhao and Ling said - although a surprise attack can catch the opponent off guard, a surprise attack requires speed, so naturally it is impossible to bring too many things, and the infantry needs a lot of auxiliary tools to deal with the cavalry; It's just a surprise attack, a slight mistake, the Fuliao army is not enough cavalry to step on!
"Yixian, a surprise attack is absolutely impossible!" Liu Zhongwen's words, which had never been angry, completely dispelled Chu Fan's idea of tricks. "We have Gengzi whistles and T-shaped whistles together, there are also 300 small people, and the other party is only about 300 people, there is no need to cheat, just fight with him!"
As he spoke, he walked over to the sketch and said, "I think." We should use Inspector Sun's trick to deal with the Tartars - step by step, little by little! …… We will restore the Liao army. But as long as there is a camp to rely on, the cavalry of the Koreans will not be able to gnaw at all! ”
He clicked on a point on the east side of Risheng Village on the sketch map, "From here, you can land here, and you can set up a camp in half a night...... Once you've established yourself, take advantage of the night...... Every time we move out two or three thousand meters, we can reach the Liu family's mansion within ten days. ”
His words were familiar to Chu Fan. If you think about it carefully, isn't this the number of ways Hong Chengchou rescued Jinzhou in real history?
In 1641, Huang Taiji's soldiers besieged Jinzhou, and Hong Chengchou led Wu Sangui and other eight general soldiers with a total of 130,000 people to help, from Ningyuan to Jinzhou more than 100 miles. It's been three months!
What Hong Chengchou used was the tactics of step-by-step, and finally advanced to Rufeng Mountain in the south of Jinzhou City; It's a pity that the eight general soldiers looked like they were separated, and when the eight banner soldiers cut off their back roads, they rushed to flee for their lives, and buried all the last capital of the Ming Dynasty in Songshan!
The Fuliao Army is not a Ming army, and he is not Hong Chengchou, Chu Fan believes that the Gengzi whistle and the T-shaped whistle will never collapse!
What's more, he still has a big killing weapon in his hands.
Thinking of this, Chu Fan nodded and said, "According to what Zhongwen said, let's take it step by step and crush the past!" …… Shen Teng, Chen Erdan, you two go down and start mobilizing...... Tell the soldiers that this time it is to avenge the death of the brothers who died in Gengzishen! The North Koreans must be paid with blood! ”
The two stood up and straightened their waists and said loudly, Shen Teng then asked, "Childe, when will you leave?" ”
Chu Fan calculated for a moment: there are more than 100 people left in the two squads of the Gengzi whistle, and there are more than 150 people in the T-shaped whistle, and the two posts add up to a total of 260 people, which can be lined up in front of more than 80 people; Between the two according to one meter, that is, more than 80 meters, the arrangement of the serpentine wire fence should be a 120 meters by 100 meters rectangle, the length of the required wire is about 4,000 meters; The first and second two barbed wire fences need 8,000 meters, plus the iron wires required for spikes, at least 10,000 meters; If you work overtime, 5 days is enough.
"Five days! Landing on Jeju Island in five days! After calculating, Chu Fan replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Cheng stood up and protested, "Childe, our whistle is also the Fuliao Army!" Why do you want to stay in Cow Island? ”
It has only been more than 20 days since the actual training of the descript whistle began, and the shooting training has just begun, and many soldiers have not even fully understood the reloading operation of Lu Migong, so Chu Fan and Liu Zhongwen did not consider their participation in the war at all.
Now seeing that Xiao Cheng took the initiative to ask for battle, Chu Fan and Liu Zhongwen discussed in a low voice for a while, and decided to bring a whistle - although they are all recruits, it is no problem to guard the wall and put guns, right? What's more important is to say that the place is the most exercised, and it has to be a battlefield with real swords and guns, and it is better to fight on the battlefield once than squatting on Ushijima for two or three months!
After arranging, Chu Fan plunged into the wire drawing workshop, staring at the wire drawing - the three sets of wire drawing devices are ready, a soft steel rod can pull out 8 meters of wire, 10,000 meters of wire needs 1,250 soft steel rods, and Wang Denghai only has more than 100 soft steel rods in his hands, so the preparation of soft steel has become a top priority.
Fortunately, Chen Shangren has returned from Busan, and the same ship has brought back nearly 10,000 catties of raw wrought iron, and the raw materials are not a problem.
So all the manpower from other parts of the island was transferred to the steel group, and Wang Denghai erected two more furnaces to process soft steel rods day and night.
Mini ammunition has also begun to be produced in a hurry -- five sets of stamping devices have been built, which are lifted by manpower and then gravity stamping, which can punch out 60 Mini warheads each time.
The cork base was prepared by the female workers in the cigarette factory, and Xu Wanyun quickly became familiar with the process of producing the cork base and the method of controlling tolerances. For the time being, I'll leave it alone, anyway, the goods in the warehouse are enough for this year.
Coupled with the fatal drills of the three whistles, the entire Ushijima was suddenly shrouded in an atmosphere of sharpening knives, and even people who were not directly related couldn't help but boil their blood!
At noon on the fourth day, when the barbed wire was completed in advance and Mini bullets had produced tens of thousands of rounds, an unexpected thing appeared, which surprised Chu Fan inexplicably! (To be continued.) )
