Two divisions, spread flat on an attack line of almost twenty kilometers, how many troops are needed to reconnoiter in front?

The reason why Li Yunchang agreed so happily is because there are too many opportunities to operate here, although the scouts are going to investigate the news, but on such a large scale, you can't let me send only one battalion to investigate, right? That's exhausting me, and you two divisions can't keep up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And theoretically speaking, from this side of the sea to the other side of the sea, the land in between needs them to investigate.

Of course, according to this theory, even if Li Yunchang's entire 23rd Division was brought to the front to investigate, it would not be enough.

Therefore, after the meeting was dismissed, Li Yunchang called his two brigade commanders over, two brigades and six regiments, Li Yunchang sent four regiments to the front to reconnoitre, and these four regiments are based on the company, each battalion is responsible for a range of ten kilometers, once the enemy is encountered, if you can eat it, then eat it immediately without saying a word, if you can't eat it, then hurry up and ask for help, about to feel the reinforcements almost to the beginning of eating, in short, whether it is your meat in theory or not, as long as you see it, you have to bite hard.

If it weren't for the two guys who opened their mouths, Li Yunchang would even want to keep only one baggage regiment and send out all the rest. And since the two of them opened their mouths, Li Yunchang couldn't do too much, and besides, the two regiments were still a little tight to transport these materials.

After all, it was nearly 60,000 people's supplies, according to one pound of food per person a day, plus two pounds of ammunition, his remaining 6,000 people each had to carry almost 30 pounds of materials on their backs, besides, the North Korean brigade baggage team came once every two days, and sent three days' supplies at a time, and Nima carried nearly 90 catties on each person, which is a cow that has to die of exhaustion.

But Li Yunchang didn't care about this, and said it after the heavy things, if it really didn't work, he would arrest the strong man and let the Korean people help him transport it, anyway, it was not the people of his own country, Lao Tzu fought for them to drive away the Japanese, you should always pay something, right?

So, before dawn the next day, Li Yunchang quietly sent out three regiments, and finally left one regiment swaggering through the positions of the 60 th Division in front and went to the front to reconnoitre.

In a mountain col more than 10 kilometers away from the 60th Division, the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 231st Regiment who had come to reconnoiter had just appeared here, and they did not feel too tired after nearly 20 kilometers of continuous attack.

As one of the old troops, the 23rd Division is not the first few units, but in the Royal Army, they are the first few units in the second batch, and since Li Yunchang became the division commander, the training of the troops has basically reached the point of harshness.

But now, they are seeing the benefits of this harshness.

After the reorganization of the troops, more than 80 percent of the army will have an old unit to take the lead, and in the Royal Army, the smaller the number of the troops, the stronger the combat effectiveness, and this is not to be boasted; just two hours after today, the 321st Regiment has already reconnoitred and advanced more than 20 kilometers, and has already thrown off the distance of more than 10 kilometers of the troops behind.

The limit of the 23rd Division is that it once forcibly marched 130 kilometers in one day of field training, although it was tired into a dog in the end, but this also means the strength of the 23rd Division.

And that training also made the division commander Li Yunchang carry a punishment, and even wrote an inspection and announced it in public.

"Company commander, the fire is still warm, the little devil should have just left." One of the soldiers first jumped away from the fire with a stick, and after making sure that there was no open flame, he put his hand inside, felt a slight temperature, and immediately reported.

When the company commander Huang Qi heard this, he was instantly overjoyed and directly stretched his hand in.

However, after feeling the temperature of the fire, the joy on his face dropped a lot in an instant.

"There is obviously no sign of the fire being extinguished, and depending on the size of the fire, it will take at least three hours from ignition to natural extinguishment, but the Japanese cannot run away after lighting the fire, and it is expected that they will be away for no more than two hours." Huang Qi dictated his judgment.

According to the officer's oral judgment, this is the tradition of the Royal Army, and although this will allow soldiers to take the officer's job, it is the best way to train soldiers to become officers.

These officers have undergone formal training, and each of them has learned a lot of military theories, and if the soldiers can often listen to their speculation and judgment, even if they don't like to worry about it, they can subconsciously judge the answer when they encounter this situation after hearing too much.

Some of the more self-motivated soldiers will understand their own meaning according to this judgment, and eventually turn it into their own knowledge.

This is equivalent to the fact that the officers of the army are telling the soldiers under them all the time about military theories, and they are also those orthodox military theories, and once these soldiers enter the military academy in the later period, their learning progress will be faster than the previous class.

Even if you don't have time to enter the military academy, it doesn't matter, some veteran squad leaders, it's no problem to temporarily replace the platoon commander.

This is very important in times of war, because once an officer is killed, it is impossible to send an officer from the rear immediately, and someone must be able to step up.

"Judging from the size of the fire and the traces of life, there should have been more than 200 Japanese troops here before, and it should be the strength of a squadron. But we followed the traces all the way, and with the traces left here, as far as I can judge, this Japanese army should have increased to nearly 1,000 men. Huang Qi continued to analyze.

"Company commander, what are you talking about so many little devil cats doing in the mountains? Could it be that they are also camping training? One soldier was puzzled.

The Royal Army did not divide troops, and the Japanese were not as effective as the Royal Army, even if he was just a soldier, he knew very well that the best choice for the Japanese army at this time was to hold a group, and then attack a small group of troops of the Royal Army, and defeat one counted.

But now the Japanese are so scattered that I heard that the 60th Division advanced more than 10 kilometers, and drove out more than 7,000 Japanese troops, and if you count the annihilated, there are 9,000 if not 10,000.

But if the Japanese army concentrated all its forces, even the 60th Division would not be able to resist them.

Obviously, just because they found traces of nearly 1,000 Japanese troops based on the traces on the road, what about the other troops in their division? And how many will you find?

Even if each regiment found 3,000 people, those four regiments would be 12,000, plus the 9,000 in front, so many Japanese troops, what did they want to do?

"Camping training is impossible unless the Japanese have a bad brain. But the little devil definitely didn't have any good intentions. Huang Qi said slowly, and then turned his head to the troops and ordered: "Rest for five minutes, replenish your strength, and we will speed up some later." ”

Five minutes later, the company set off again, this time their search speed was much faster than before, even with a heavy machine gun, a mortar and nearly a hundred shells, but the baggage still could not slow them down.

An hour later, the first company followed the traces left by the Japanese army in front of it and found another camp, and this camp was about the same size as the previous one, and the same squadron was stationed, and the traces on the ground were a little more chaotic than the previous one, which can only prove one phenomenon, that is, there are more and more enemies.

But Huang Qi did not flinch, their task was to find the Japanese army, and if the number was small, they would fight, and if they couldn't fight, they would call for reinforcements, anyway, they couldn't let them run.

The four regiments of the 23rd Division in front were searching at a rapid pace, and the 60th and 52nd Divisions were desperately chasing after them, and the most bitter were the two regiments left behind by the 23rd Division.

But even so, Li Yunchang was constantly urging the 60th and 52nd Divisions to speed up, because according to the rules, unless it was an unconventional reconnaissance, the main force should keep a distance of 10 kilometers from the reconnaissance troops.

But because the four regiments in front of the 23rd Division all found traces of the Japanese army, but they didn't want them to run away, they all sped up, but the 23rd Division was called a beast, and one could run better than the other, so how could the two divisions behind keep up?

Besides, the advance of a large army can take into account much more than that of a small force, and even if the speed is the same on weekdays, in this case, the large force will not be able to keep up with the small reconnaissance force.

Therefore, by the time it was dark, the four regiments sent by the 23rd Division had already left the distance of more than 20 kilometers between the 60th Division and the 52nd Division.

But strangely, although they found a large number of traces of Japanese soldiers, they were stunned that they did not see a single Japanese soldier.

And in this whole day's effort, under the leadership of these four regiments of the 23rd Division, the 60th and 52nd Divisions also advanced 70 kilometers.

If they continue to advance at this pace, they will be able to advance to Pyongyang tomorrow when it gets dark. In two days, I walked from the border to Pyongyang on just my legs, and the speed was still a bit terrifying.

And if it weren't for the fact that it was already completely dark, and the gap between the troops in front and behind was too big, the four regiments that were scouting in front might not have stopped.

But even so, the 60th and 52nd Divisions still lit torches and drove 10 kilometers of night road before setting up camp.

As for the two regiments of the 23rd Division behind, they were even more miserable, in order to keep the formation compact, they hurried until the early hours of the morning before stopping, but in this way, they were also more than 10 kilometers away from the two divisions in front.

And Ai Kun and Xu Jie don't know how many telegrams they have sent to scold Li Yunchang, but Li Yunchang always smiled and didn't answer, which made the two regret it very much, they knew that they would not let him send troops to the front to investigate, who knew that this guy sent four regiments in one go?

If this really starts out, how can there be a chance for their two divisions? (To be continued.) )
