Chapter 473: On the Road at Night

It was pitch black. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the moon that accompanied her all the way disappeared under the mountain beams, the starless canopy of the sky became dark; Heaven and earth were plunged into a desperate darkness, and the hills, fields, and rivers that had only loomed seemed to disappear in an instant.

The darkest hour before dawn has come.

In the boundless darkness, the only thing that was faintly visible was the small white strip that swayed in front of him - it was an armband specially prepared for night marches, a strip of cloth that was two fingers wide, I don't know what method the person in the suit used, so that this strip of cloth could emit a faint white light in the darkness where the five fingers could not be seen.

The monkey didn't have the heart to think about the nocturnal armband now, he was now staring at the white dot two or three meters away in front of him, and strode under his feet, lest a mismatch miss the second battalion in front of him—you must know that the entire third battalion was behind him, and once he ran away, the three hundred or so brothers would follow him and run somewhere.

The entire advance team arrived at the scheduled landing point on the west bank of Ganghwa Island at 10 o'clock last night, and it took more than two hours to land by barge and landing, and by the time all the three battalions at the end of the combat sequence had landed, it was almost 1 o'clock in the morning. This was followed by a rapid march at night for more than four hours, and because they were in the territory of the enemy, it was forbidden for everyone to raise fire; Fortunately, more than twenty miles ahead, the bright moonlight broke through the clouds from time to time to illuminate the road, which made the advance party a little earlier than scheduled; Now the moon had set, and it was the darkest time before dawn, and the monkey knew that the true test had begun.

The swelling on the calves was no longer felt, but the back of the field bag was hot, and the monkey could feel the sweat pouring out of the already soaked shirt, and it kept flowing down the buttocks; The monkey's chest rose and fell violently after a long run, and the heavy snort of a cow was fast and urgent, intertwined with the wheezing of the brothers behind him, and the sound of heavy steps echoed in the quiet earth.

In fact, the monkey was holding his breath all the way - he was beaten by a pillar before he boarded the boat last night.

He said that the Koreans were a burden, not only because the other party's performance was indeed inferior to the Fuliao army, but also because in this surprise attack, his third and second companies were assigned to the Qinwang army, which means that in this battle, he had to obey the moderation of the Qinwangjun Zhao Songjie and Li Chenghuan!

Why didn't the pillar know his thoughts, and immediately scolded him, and after scolding, he patiently explained to him - in the future, when the troops will come to Pyongyang, the Qin Wang Army, as a peripheral force of a regiment, will face the Korean royal court and even the more murderous Tartars.

In fact, the monkey doesn't understand the truth, but he just feels uncomfortable in his heart - just listening to Li Chenghuan's croaking bird language is enough for him to be upset, and he has to listen to him?

"Medic! Medic! ”

Just as he was upset, there was a commotion in the second battalion in front, and the speed slowed down significantly, and then a suppressed and anxious cry sounded; The monkey slowed down, and he saw a few white dots in front of him break out of the queue and stop aside, presumably someone was injured.

Soon there was a gust of wind around him, and a white dot swayed rapidly to overtake the monkey and ran towards the white dots—although he couldn't see clearly, the monkey knew that this must be a medical soldier of three battalions and one company, and it had only been less than a month since he was assigned to a company from the field hospital, and a quiet and delicate child couldn't see that he could run so fast.

"What's wrong?"

"Broken feet!"

"Ankles? Let me touch it. ”

"Hiss~~"

"How far away is the last containment site?"

"More than two miles."

"Boom! Go quickly, and I will help him to go. ”

As he spoke, the monkey had already walked to their side, and after thinking for a while, he rushed to the guard behind him and whispered, "Pass the word, let the brothers in charge of setting up the containment point in the third company help, and carry him together, and it won't be long before the point should be set up." ”

The setting up of containment points is a new content that has just been added to the "Infantry Drill Code", and it was used in this night march, and one was set up every 5 miles to house the injured or stragglers - what made the monkey feel even more was that this content was originally just a suggestion put forward by an ordinary soldier in his company after a certain training, and it was actually written into the "Infantry Drill Code" after being reported layer by layer, which is a combat norm that the whole army must strictly enforce!

When the monkey first heard the news, he couldn't believe it: even among the white pole soldiers who were maintained by blood and kinship, this was absolutely impossible - how to march and fight was the law of the imperial court, and even the high-ranking Tusi master was not qualified to put his beak, how could a mere soldier be able to discuss?

But when I got to the Fuliao Army, I really did it!

Not only the containment point, it is said that there are many entries in this amendment, all of which were proposed by lower-level officers and non-commissioned officers, and finally officially written into the "Infantry Drill Code" and the sailor's "Boat Drill Code"!

The monkey, who had regained his normal marching speed, couldn't help but shake his head lightly in the dark, not that there was anything wrong with doing so, but that he suddenly remembered what Childe had said at the recent officers' meeting.

"The building of the army must not be confined to the exercise of physical strength and will...... When the combat effectiveness of the troops rises to a certain level, innovation and invention will become the key to enhancing the combat effectiveness...... Remember, our greatest enemy, the Tartars, is the best at learning and imitating...... Today's superiority in firearms and tactics may have been wiped out after the first few battles against the Tartars...... How can we maintain an overwhelming superiority over the Tartars? Only continuous innovation! …… Innovation cannot only rely on the military engineers on Niujima, the soldiers are the source of creativity! …… No matter how hard the military engineers work, how can they feel the cruelty and bloodshed of the battlefield when they sit in the shed every day? How can we know the real needs of the battlefield? How can you create the right weapon for the needs of the battlefield? …… And all this is precisely what the soldiers who are most familiar with and most eager to change in person...... How can the needs of the warriors finally be translated into the improvement of weapons? This requires officers at all levels to do a good job of summarizing the post-training and post-war ......"

To be honest, because there are too many "new terms" in this large paragraph, the monkey doesn't understand it very well, but the last sentence of the prince's summary made a warm current gush out of his heart - "Your summary is not a line of words, but a fresh life of brothers!" ”

And now the monkey seems to have vaguely understood the intention of Gongzi's words - the containment points set up one after another tonight have already contained dozens of wounded and sick people, if they were placed in the past, these dozens of people would either be forcibly dragged down by the march or abandoned!

In his thoughts, the monkey didn't know how far he had gone, and it was no longer pitch black in front of him, and the large and small phalanxes sitting on the ground gradually emerged - the eastern sky revealed a line of fish belly white, and the sky was about to dawn.

A surprise attack is about to start! (To be continued.) )
