Chapter 42 Operational Deployment

Updated: 202-0-26

After dinner on October 2, 54 AD (2695 in the Republican calendar), Mingxing Island held a combat meeting, and the conference room of the transit base was full of relevant cadres, Bai Baoxiang, Wang Tiezhu, Wang Xietang, and Yunlan sat on the rostrum, and a military map of Zhoushan was hung on the wall behind them.

Wang Xie Tang first briefly introduced some of the situations around Dinghai. He said that Dinghai City has a city wall, and a moat, and only four gates can be entered and exited. Then he introduced the military situation, and he said that the Manchu Qing claimed that 10,000 people would suppress it, but in fact there were less than 6,000 people. There were originally more than 1,000 soldiers in the green battalion in Zhoushan, Shao Can brought 3,000 regimental training recruited from his hometown Yuyao, Chen Shizhong from Wenzhou Town brought a few hundred people, and there were about 1,000 Fujian sailors.

"Shao Can's regimental training has not experienced actual combat, the small wooden boats in Dinghai Town and Wenzhou Town are to deal with small groups of pirates, and the Fujian sailors may be more arrogant, they exterminated the small knife club in Xiamen. But I met us~, hehe! Wang Xie Tang smiled and didn't say any more.

Everyone smiled knowingly, and the atmosphere in the venue was much more relaxed.

Wang Tiehammer knocked on the table: "The general situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like this, and I will introduce our countermeasures below." The staff officers of the advance team developed two plans for this. One is the sea. One is mainly land-based. ”

Wang Tiezhu stood up, walked to the map, and drew a circle in the vast sea area between Mingxing Island and Dinghai, "The sea is the main thing, just wait for the Qing soldiers to attack us." No matter how far they come, we just wait at sea, destroy them, and then land and occupy Dinghai. The peculiarity of this plan is that we have the sea as our home turf, and we have an absolute advantage on the sea. ”

The plan was good, and the Navy personnel nodded their heads, and they all became excited.

Wang Tiehammer then added: "Our firepower is strong, and nearly a hundred enemy ships will definitely scatter and flee. When the time comes, there will be many sunken ships and drowned Qing soldiers. Our loot will be much less. ”

Yun Lan said with a smile: "The battle ahead is not going well, and there will be many officials and businessmen who will flee in Dinghai City at that time. ”

Wang Tiehammer drew a circle around Dinghai City again, "Focusing on land, it is the first to strike." The landing craft sent the three platoons of the army training company ashore separately, and the three platoons were interspersed in three ways to the east, west, and north gates, and the navy blocked several entrances and exits of Dinghai Harbor, and the machine gun team of the training company, the coast guard, and the recruit battalion blocked the south gate. ”

Someone raised below, "Don't encircle three and lack one?" ”

Yun Lan replied: "There is no need to encircle three and lack one, the remnants of the Qing army cannot be released from the city." Fighting around the city, we have no pressure. Let them go out and run into the wilderness, then it will be difficult to annihilate them. ”

"Training is for the sake of fighting, and training should also be considered when fighting a war." Wang Tiezhu said, "After consultation and discussion, in order to better train the troops by fighting instead of training, and in order to get more trophies, we decided to adopt the second plan. ”

When the army personnel became elated, Wang Tiehammer raised his voice, "The Fujian Navy Division arrived this afternoon, and we will act tonight to catch them off guard." The army training company must be mentally prepared to endure hardships, interspersed with mountain roads with a minimum distance of 10 kilometers, and it is not so easy to march at night. ”

Wang Tiehammer began to deploy specific combat missions. After Wang Tiehammer finished speaking, Bai Baoxiang, chairman of the executive committee, said softly, "I'll say a few words." ”

He said: "The second option was chosen not only for the purpose of training the army, but also for the most important reason, that we must capture Dinghai City before October 23. If you choose the first option, when the Qing army comes, you don't know when you will be able to enter Dinghai City. ”

Bai Baoxiang's voice deepened, "The second day of the ninth month is the anniversary of the martyrdom of the slaughter of Dinghai. Everyone knows that at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Dinghai City was the base of King Lu to resist the Qing Dynasty. On the second day of the ninth month of the Xinmao year in 65 AD, the Manchu Qing Dynasty invaded Dinghai, and more than 000 martyrs were killed in the city, with corpses all over the place and rivers of blood. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Baoxiang paused for a moment, and then he said in a firm tone: "Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar calendar, and there are two days left on the second day of the ninth month, and we will enter Dinghai City before that." As the descendants of King Lu's subordinates, we will pay tribute to the heroic souls of more than 18,000 soldiers who resisted the Qing Dynasty. Raise the banner in front of the people of Dinghai! ”

In the end, Bai Baoxiang said sternly: "What I want to explain is that Dinghai has never been our main target, and the Executive Committee's approval of Dinghai is not only for military training, but also from the political aspect. Dinghai, I'm not worried. I'm worried that after entering the city, someone will corrupt the military discipline. We must restrain the troops, always keep in mind the three laws and eight points of attention, and be a civilized and mighty army. ”

"The three * laws and eight points of attention, you should learn them, right?" Bai Baoxiang turned his head and asked Wang Tiezhu.

"They often sing this song, but I don't know if I remember it or not." Wang Tiezhu smiled, he gently tapped the table with his fingers, and said to the audience, "When it comes to the ugly words, there are really violations of military discipline, and we can only use his head in exchange for the hearts of the people." ”

After the meeting, the troops went into action.

The night sky of Mingxing Island is as deep as a dark blue, and the stars are shining silver. The sea at night reflects the phosphorescent light of the stars.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the ships of Mingxing Island left the dock one after another. In order to cooperate with this battle, the Yangtze River Bureau specially prepared two large steamers. A large steamer and three 50-ton motorized fishing boats were loaded with more than 500 reservists from the boot training camp, and they formed a maritime formation with four coast guard ships of the Maritime Guard and the Prince, and under the unified command of the Prince, they rushed to Xiezhimen outside Dinghai Port in Zhoushan. The "Xuanwu" landing craft carried the army training company and headed for the northern part of Zhoushan Island. There is also a big steamer that is scheduled to transport the logistics support group on the way to Mingxing Island, and this ship has been delayed for a little time because it is waiting to transport Qian Shuiting from North America.

The Deng-2 landing craft has been transporting goods for the Dongji Island Tourism Company in the same time and space. This time, he was transferred to another time and space to participate in the battle, and was renamed "Xuanwu".

Wang Tiezhu's headquarters was located on the Xuanwu. In the small conference room of the landing craft, Wang Tiezhuan repeatedly told Shui Wuji, Yunlan, and Kohler, "You must be calm, this is the first battle of our army, and we must fight it well." ”

"There is no trace of water, you take the east road with a platoon of teaching, land from Jianpu Bay, go to Wanshou Temple and cross Shen Gongling, and block the east gate of Dinghai.

Kohler, you take the second platoon of teaching to take the north road, land from the outer mountain, go all the way to the south, go straight to Qinglong Mountain, go to the White Crane Temple, and turn over the Donggao Ridge is the north gate of Dinghai

Yunlan, you will take the three platoons of instruction to the west road, land from Luotoujiao, take Yancang Beach, cross Xiaofeng Ridge, and attack the west gate of Dinghai. This is the route of the British attack on Dinghai, and there is a post guarding Xiaofeng Ridge, if you can't do it, you can summon artillery support. ”

"You can rest assured, Captain Wang." Yun Lan looked very excited, "Dozens of small knives armed with broadswords and spears will dare to attack the city, we are well-trained and heavily armed warriors, equipped with the most advanced M7 rifles in this time and space. ”

"I really can't take more of this body-strengthening pill, it's like an aphrodisiac, and I'm full of confidence." Wang Tiehammer was a little dissatisfied, and he nodded casually, "Okay, all the military maps have been sent to you." The specific route of the march is also marked on the map, and you must be familiar with it. ”

At half past eleven o'clock in the evening, in the northern part of Zhoushan Island, the waves crashed against the pebble beach on the shore one after another, and the pebbles rubbed against the waves fiercely, making a loud sound. In the distance, a black shadow was speeding towards the shore, and the roar of engines could be heard. Soon, the "Xuanwu" landing craft jumped out of the water like a ghost on the sea, and the bow sailed onto the slightly sloping pebble beach.

At the moment when the landing craft staggered, the water inside the boat shouted without a trace, "Teach the brothers in the platoon, everyone is all on their feet, ready, and start landing immediately." ”

The brothers in the first row of the teaching were all excited, and immediately got up and tidied up their clothes, all of them looking alive and eager to try. They wore camouflage caps, camouflage uniforms, yellow satchels and military water bottles, armed belts around their waists, and combat boots on their feet. Each person has a * bullet pouch diagonally on the left and right sides of his chest, and each bullet pouch is filled with 90 bullets; There are also four cartridges in the backpack behind him, each containing 50 rounds. The fighters all carried M7 rifles on their shoulders, and the crossing cadres were equipped with Mosin-Nagant rifles. The M6A4 automatic rifle from the arsenal is too bullet-intensive, and it is currently the equipment of Shui Wuji, Yunlan and others.

The bow door of the landing craft slowly opened, and with a "clang", it was lowered on the pebble beach like a springboard.

"A platoon begins to land!" Wang Tiehammer stood by the hatch and ordered.

"Quick, quick, follow me!" Teaching a platoon of soldiers, under the command of Ban Xue and Wu Shimang, stepped on the hatch of the bow of the ship and rushed out of the landing module. Shui Wuji, who was heavily armed, saluted Wang Tiehammer by the hatch, and turned his head to follow.

Ban Xue carried a backpack weighing 20 pounds and an M9 Mosin-Nagant rifle at the front. The soldiers followed, Shui Wuxian commanded in the center, and after Wu Shimang was broken, more than thirty people quickly went ashore and disappeared into the vast night.

"You and I are separated on the sea of night,

You have yours, I have mine, direction~~"

Looking at the swarthy patch on the shore, Dai Liang recited sour verses, drove the "Xuanwu", and left Jianpu Bay backwards.

Dai Liang is 2 years old this year and is a native of Gongcheng, Henan. He was originally the helmsman of a certain boat brigade in Zhoushan, and when Wang Tiehammer was engaged in military development, he recruited him to fly the Xuanwu for a tourism company.

"It's starting to sour again!" Wang Tiehammer stepped into the wheelhouse, and when Dai Liang was a little lazy, he walked up to Dai Liang and asked, "You have been left to operate the landing craft, and you have not been allowed to get on the Prince, do you have any ideas?" ”

"How can you!" Dai Liang flatly denied it, "After so many years under you, you still don't know me. I'm just a little bit broken, and I like to read some crooked poems, that's all. ”

Wang Tiehammer said, 'How can you?' It exposes the true thoughts. He thought about waiting for this period to finish and find an opportunity to enlighten Dai Liang.

Head west along the coastline. Twenty minutes later, slowly squeezed towards the outer mountain. The engine of the landing craft rumbled, and it was especially loud in the silent night.

Here is a salt pan, and there is a beacon tower. There are more than 20 salt households living in Mazhi, four miles to the east, and they are in charge of this place.

"There's movement at sea?" A saltman who had risen at night heard the movement on the sea, lifted his pants and screamed.

"What's it called?" The older salt officer in the house was very impatient, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, so you don't care about so many things." We are salt managers, not water masters. ”

"That's right, the soldiers are in chaos, don't provoke the pirates."

The salt pawn is a stubborn head, dead-eyed. He didn't go into the house, but leaned against a large tree and looked out to the sea. When a strange ship drove directly onto the outer Shanzui tidal flat, the salt pawn turned his head and wanted to run towards the beacon tower. But just then, a sharp dagger plunged into his chest from behind, and he collapsed with his mouth half open. The elder salt officer stood under the big tree, shook his head and sighed, "I said don't meddle, but you just don't listen." ”

This elderly salt official is called Zhang Wantu, and he is the younger brother of the old Zhang Tou who guards the duck on Aohama Island. Lao Zhangtou was originally also a salt pawn, accidentally killed someone, and took refuge and hid on Mingxing Island. Lao Zhangtou wanted to hide it at first, but in the end he couldn't stand it and gave a thorough explanation to Wang Xietang.
