Chapter 217: Preset Battlefield
Feng Yuxiang knew that Wang Jinming would choose this approach, otherwise what would he do with 400 people, although he didn't bring weapons, but there are a lot of weapons in the barracks here that they are familiar with, and if they are a little familiar, they can give full play to their combat effectiveness, Feng Yuxiang himself also wants to bring his own people, but these 400 people are all the elites who were brought back then, and after Wang Jinming's assault training, the strength should be above the people under Feng Yuxiang.
Soldiers, only when they get the weapon, will they really have peace of mind, even before, when they took the train, they had military stabs and pistols on their bodies, but the pistol, a protective thing, is a completely different feeling from holding a spear in your hand, and the military uniform is also turned around with Feng Yuxiang, compared to other Beiyang Army, Feng Yuxiang's side, is really a little out of hand.
The soldiers took the guns, after all, they are not accustomed to the guys, they also need to gradually get acquainted, they are all veterans, and they went out from here, and they went directly to the shooting range, Feng Yuxiang's side, the bullets are guaranteed, 30-50 bullets a day, they have to test the gun a little more, just move a dozen boxes of bullets, and even have special machine gunners, who shoot Makqin, in the shooting range, it is rare to be lively.
Feng Yuxiang watched the skillful movements of the soldiers, and took Wang Jinming into the war room, this war room was still mentioned by Yang Yuanzhao, at that time, Yang Yuanzhao just casually mentioned it, and said that the effectiveness of the German General Staff, with collective command, instead of the commander's blindness, can play a relatively large role.
Feng Yuxiang, who didn't believe it, discovered the benefits of this war room after setting up this war room, even if it was a plan made by three or five staff officers, the effect was more perfect than one person patting his head, and several actions to encircle and suppress bandits were all thanks to these staff officers.
Feng Yuxiang is a very realistic person, one thing, when he does not prove his value, he will be more or less confused, but as long as he proves the value, he will immediately achieve the extreme.
China does not have a place to train staff officers, I am afraid only Germany has, but their battalion, perhaps the entire Beiyang Army, the battalion with the most intellectuals, those ** young people, can be said to be the natural candidates of staff officers, not trained from an early age, most of them are brocade clothes and jade food, read books, let them be soldiers, familiar military skills, they may not be better than ordinary farmers, but staff officers, it is simply a natural profession set up for them, Feng Yuxiang even selected the best from the middle, selected more than 30 staff officers, Then a staff group was formed, and generally everything in the entire battalion was planned and implemented only after the staff group had determined the plan.
These have already begun when Wang Jinming was there, and now they are very skilled, when he walked into the staff group, Yang Yuanzhao found that the staff group seemed to have expanded a little, and it was divided into 5 teams, and then Feng Yuxiang took him into the first team.
"Hello battalion commander!" A young officer saluted Feng Yuxiang.
The officer who spoke was named Qin Bing, a robe brother from Sichuan, a member of the League, and one of the first young people to come here.
"Suisheng, you're too!" Wang Jinming greeted him, he was also very familiar with Qin Bing, and when the General Staff Department was first formed, it was also under his strong recommendation that Qin Bing entered the General Staff.
"Company Commander Wang, hello!"
"Okay, I heard that you made the plan, how is it now!"
"Come over here!" Qin Bing let them to the front of this big table, on top of this big table, there is a huge map, this map is not sent by the Beiyang Army, with the strength of the Beiyang Army and the drag of the Qing government, the map sent down, I am afraid that even the location is not right, this is Feng Yuxiang according to the county records of each county in Liaoning, as well as the field drawing, the final map, as a standard map for operations in the Northeast, such a map is still being improved, this is the largest.
"Battalion commander, company commander, according to the information we know, the general location of the red turban thief has basically been established, and it is on that side!"
On the map, it is divided into three or four colors, of course, they are all drawn with a pencil, which can be erased, and the green ones represent the information that has been determined, which they have personally investigated, as well as the Jin merchants' reports, and the red and yellow ones, which are possible and less certain information, which are divided into another color, and these are on the map, and the intuitive table xiàn comes out, and soon, a general range is formed.
Several staff officers, under the command of Qin Bing, kept drawing on the map, summarizing some existing information, and finally established the current approximate location of the Red Turban Thief, which is 200 kilometers from the northeast of Mongolia.
"They should take these three paths!" Qin Bing pointed to the map and said loudly, on the map, the clear lines showed the three roads they might take, and the three roads were the most likely to go, avoiding some dense areas, unless they would choose to ship, but 170 cars, almost 200,000 catties of cotton, not idle merchants can make a move, the red scarf thieves were hit hard by Feng Yuxiang before, and their inherent thieves' nests have been lost, so they will first transport these things back to the nest, and then deal with them.
This conclusion is also supported by intelligence, so in the end, there will be an obvious summary of the three roads, and they converge together, Wang Jinming is not familiar with the northeast near Mongolia, and asked with some curiosity: "Where is the place!" ”
"Montenegro! Although the grassland is large, after passing through the guò grassland, to their old nest, Montenegro is a must-pass place! Qin Bing said solemnly.
"In that case, I'll be in Montenegro to work at ease!" Wang Jinming looked at the map and had some enlightenment.
Feng Yuxiang also nodded and said: "Okay, then put it in Montenegro, and leave the rest to me, I will discharge my capable forces, keep an eye on these people along the way, rest assured, neither cotton nor people can run!" ”
"Thank you big brother for that!"
"Brother of your own, what else do you say, thank you, Qin Bing, you work hard, get the map of Xishan out, and make a battle plan by the way!"
"It's the battalion commander!"
Montenegro is more than 100 kilometers away from Shenyang, and it is even farther away from Feng Yuxiang's camp, almost more than 200 kilometers, it should not be in one direction, fortunately, the red turban thief, to rush to Montenegro, it takes at least 4-5 days, and the team of 400 people first went to the barracks to get weapons, and in the name of the Beiyang Army, they can move freely near Shenyang, and they belong to the Beiyang Army, but the name is not on it.
The capable spy platoon also took action, quickly contacted, and stared closely at the red turban thief, the power used by the Jin merchants, and all the cities above the location that Ka Zhun experienced, a large net with huge potential power in the northern country, under the condition that the red turban thief did not find out at all, went towards their network.
Such two big nets, towards the red turban thief, but the red turban thief did not react at all, after entering the northeast, they were much bolder, dared to enter the city, several leaders, including the image of the leader of the red turban thief, has already been distributed to the various shops, in the inn, the restaurant, these places, there are personnel staring, the more they enter, the more people, all kinds of information will be more, with a large number of news coming, they are getting closer and closer to Montenegro, they are on the nearest road, Getting to Montenegro, there were no two roads that were previously anticipated.
At the foot of the mountain in Montenegro, after two days of rest, the momentum of the whole unit was completely different, 400 soldiers, wearing the uniforms of the Beiyang Army and carrying Mauser guns, were neat and tidy, and their morale was high.
"Brothers, those Red Turban Army are 50 kilometers away, and we have a whole day to set up the battlefield!" Wang Jinming said, waving the sapper shovel in his hand, and said loudly: "Work!" ”
More than 400 snow bright sapper shovels, almost at the same time will be business, such sapper shovels are produced in one machine, only about 1,000 at present, with reference to the design of the military shovel of later generations, sharp and abnormal, far stronger than the shovel of this era, according to the training, a person with this shovel, dig out a single pit that can be hidden for individual soldiers, at most half an hour can be.
According to the previous map and field survey, there is a bag-shaped mountain pass on this side of Montenegro, which is wide in front and narrow in the back, of course, this narrowness is only relatively speaking, about 300 meters, which is the best place to block.
300 meters of mountain pass, more than 400 people, blocked, an average of one meter to have one person, but also to control the back, this is for Wang Jinming, there are many things to consider, he just left about 120 people in the front, but the heavy firearms of the entire army are almost all placed here, a total of 10 of 12 Makqin, they will be placed here.
120 men, divided into three lines of defense, with crossfire, to seal the entire mountain pass, it is necessary to dig trenches, which is also the focus of the earthwork of this trip. The rest of the personnel will be arranged on the hills on both sides and the entrance in front, where 2 Makqin will also be arranged to prevent the escape of the horse bandits, and a part of the mobile force will also need to be left. This mobile force, there are about 100 people, they are all cavalry, among the 400 people who have better riding skills, and they also borrowed some cavalry from Feng Yuxiang, these are among the bandits, who are transformed from the bandits who are not deeply evil, they are all good at riding, used to prevent the pursuit after the accident, perfect layout, thoughtful design, and even in the village not far away, there are soldiers of a company sent by Feng Yuxiang, 200 fully armed soldiers, ready to intervene at any time, it can be said that it is foolproof.
