Chapter 160: Polemics

The two did not talk long before returning to the Wehrmacht General Staff.

It was enough for Chen Shao to understand Jiang Baili's meaning, and the two did not discuss in depth.

In addition, now is not the time to discuss these, the navy is victorious, and the battle between land and air is about to begin.

"Baili, why do you say that the British and French forces have not yet started to act, and they are still nesting in the jungle." Chen Shao made contact with the base in his mind, and at this time, the British and French troops in Lang Son did not move at all. In the eyes of the base, there is no so-called secret crossing of Chen Cang, which makes Chen Shao very puzzled. There is no reason why the commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French alliance does not understand this truth, what is this singing?

"It's really unusual, Haig is a veteran of the battlefield and can't make such a mistake. Obviously, if there is not any conspiracy, then there are some scruples, at least now they dare not take the initiative to attack. "With the elimination of the British Eastern Fleet, Jiang Baili will be more sure of the battle on land. If Jiang Baili was asked to choose which of the three arms of the sea, land and air force was the most powerful, except for the special forces, Jiang Baili would definitely pick the army. If you choose it in the army, it is recognized that the Praetorian Guard is the most powerful.

"If it's the second, I'm not worried, if it's the first, it's worth considering. If the other party really has any premeditated plan, then we must be prepared. Chen Shao said.

"Whatever the case may be, we're going to have plenty of time to react. They have 200,000 people, and if they make any moves, they will definitely alarm us, and if they are small-scale troop operations, we will also give them a taste of what special operations are. Jiang Baili said.

"Oh! Do you mean the Gurkha brigade? Chen Shaodao is very familiar with this number, this unit is definitely the most powerful mountain force in Britain, even in later generations, there is no one.

The Gurkha were mercenaries recruited by the British from Nepal, a mountainous country located in the western Himalayas. In 1814, the Rangkha warriors of the Kingdom of Nepal attacked Kashmir and Bhutan. The British fought 30,000 against 12,000 Nepalese, and after two years of bloody fighting, peace was finally achieved. This battle was a lesson for the British, especially the unyielding courage of the Gurkha soldiers, which was admired by the British. After that, Britain signed a treaty with Nepal and enjoyed the privilege of recruiting Gurkha soldiers. Since then, they have been on an average height of 1. The 6-metre, malign-wielding Nepalese men's team recruited new recruits for the British team. At present, there are Gurkha soldiers in the British army, a mountain brigade, one regiment to three regiments, and it is also a three-three system, and a regiment has almost 2,000 people.

80% of Nepal is mountainous, and the Langkha people have walked on bumpy mountain roads since childhood, and have developed a pair of "iron feet". They have a strong personality and a strong body, and they are good at mountain warfare and close combat. They especially like to wear the "gogol scimitar", which is about 1 foot (1/3 m) long and extremely sharp. It is said that this scimitar must see blood as soon as it is drawn. The average adult man in Nepal can cut off the head of a buffalo with a single sword. If you can't cut off the head of a bull with a knife, you can't be seen as a man. Originally used to cut grass, open roads, and protect one's body, this knife was later introduced into the army and became an essential weapon for carrying around. Nepalese sabres.

"Yes, the only thing we have to worry about is this Gurkha Mountain Brigade, the British Army is really not good, but this unit composed of Gurkha people is good, not to mention how good the combat effectiveness is, even loyalty is worthy of everyone's admiration. Admiration is admiration, when we meet on the battlefield, our army will definitely let the Gurkha people see the power of the Chinese soldiers. "Jiang Baili has only recently learned about this unit, and although it is now an enemy, he has always praised it, and it is just a pure appreciation.

"Our Tiger special forces also have nearly a thousand people, and there are no tasks at this time. Since the last weeding operation, they have not been dispatched again, and now let these two troops meet for a while. Chen Shao wanted to see what effect his strongest special forces would have on this legendary unit. As a strategic special forces, the Tiger Special Forces have extremely high requirements for the quality of personnel, and every year it is in an infinite cycle of elimination and absorption. However, the special forces that have been eliminated are the objects of competition by various units, and there will be endless battles every year because of this problem.

"These are two units with completely different concepts, and although the mountain brigade in Gurkha is good, it is definitely not an opponent of professional special forces. Even in the jungle, our special forces can torture them. Chen Shao's words made Jiang Baili stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Shao to look up to the Gurkha Mountain Brigade so much. Jiang Baili also admitted that the Gurkha Mountain Brigade was very powerful, but he could not afford to dispatch such an ace force. In Jiang Baili's eyes, the Gurkha Mountain Brigade is at most at the same level as the regular army of the National Defense Army, and it is definitely not comparable to the Praetorian Guard.

The Tiger special forces are a symbol of invincibility in Jiang Baili's heart, because he has done an actual combat exercise before, all the scouts and special operations teams belonging to the Praetorian Guard combined, in the case of two to one, in the case of two to one, in various simulated venues to conduct combat drills, the result is that the Tiger special forces easily won. On another occasion, a regiment of Praetorian Guards guarded a jungle, and it was after several days of meticulous preparation. After the Tiger special forces of a detachment waited for them to be ready, more than 300 people took advantage of the night to touch into the jungle, and by the afternoon of the next day, more than 300 special forces came out and 200 of them, and at the cost of 130 killed, they completely annihilated a regiment of Praetorian Guards, with a record of 130:3000, which made everyone stunned.

Now Chen Shao actually wants to dispatch the tiger, which is somewhat unexpected by Jiang Baili.

"Isn't it interesting to take it seriously as a kind of respect for the opponent, strongest against strongest, ace against ace? And this time, I'm going to let the tigers out and defeat them all at once. Or let Wang Xiaoshan's new troops also come out to carry out activities, and Wang Xiaoshan also trained them for a lot of time, and pulled them out to test them in actual combat. Speaking of Wang Xiaoshan, my hands are a little itchy, and the two of us haven't done it for a long time. Chen Shao also turned his wrist a few times as he spoke.

This sentence made Jiang Baili cry and laugh a little, what do you say you are a leader to play, and you are still looking for Wang Xiaoshan's kind of perversion. However, Jiang Baili also admires Chen Shao's skills very much, which is stronger than the skills of the Tiger Special Forces, that is, he can fight with Wang Xiaoshan a little more lively, and others can't go up to fight with Wang Xiaoshan for a few times. Jiang Baili knew about Wang Xiaoshan's training of the second special forces, but due to the secrecy regulations, he did not know the specific situation.

"So soon you can pull it out for real combat? I remember training for less than two years! ”

"It's not that fast, it's just this idea. A few days ago, Wang Xiaoshan called me and asked me if I had any tasks, and he wanted the new troops to go to actual combat training and training. But I turned him down and told him to train for a while, and I think it's a good time now. Chen Shao said.

"I don't know the specifics, and I can't say anything. I now have an idea if we can give the British and French a surprise attack at dusk to see if we can get their intentions out. Jiang Baili's thoughts immediately turned to the current situation.

"Well, this method is feasible, but my idea is this, if we don't send troops directly, we have nearly 1,000 heavy artillery pieces in the Lang Son area, which can completely cover the forward troops of the British and French forces, and directly bombard me for half an hour, as long as the snake comes out of the hole, it will be easy to do. I'm worried that they're going to get in and wait for us to attack. And we only shelled, anyway, I have a lot of shells, and it is not bad to be a training army. "Chen Shao is not distressed at all about the money for shells, they are all good quality bargains. In this world, only Chen Shao can say such a thing, thousands of heavy cannons, attack for half an hour, how much does it cost! Compared with money, Chen Shao felt more sorry for the lives of his soldiers.

"Okay, I'll give you the order right away." Jiang Baili was shocked again, he didn't know how much it cost to make a cannonball. Maybe everyone doesn't know, only Chen Shao himself knows about this thing. However, Jiang Baili knew that the price at which Chen Shao sold it to Germany was very valuable!!

"Wait, I think of a question, the Air Force, that is, the Air Force. Both of us have just fallen into a misunderstanding, the British and French forces have nearly 300 aircraft, even if the infantry did not move, but why the air force did not move, the only explanation is that they are afraid of our air force. Perhaps now the commanders of the Anglo-French forces are also wondering why our troops have not moved. This question suddenly flashed through Chen Shao's mind.

"It makes sense, both Britain and France know our Air Force, it is impossible not to think of this, and three hundred aircraft, this also speaks for itself. They want to overwhelm us with numbers. This is kind of interesting, it seems that they want to find an opportunity to eliminate our air force in one fell swoop. After that, the army will be dispatched, which is kind of interesting. When Jiang Baili heard Chen Shao's words, he also reflected it all at once, and went through the information of Britain and France in his mind, and said to Chen Shao.

"Whether or not the Anglo-French commander really thinks so, I have always intended to do so. Breaking their navy is the first step, and the second step is to destroy their air force, which can also help our planes do propaganda. It's five o'clock in the afternoon, it's almost dusk, their planes can't go out at night, and we don't need to be exposed. We can ,...... like this tomorrow morning," Chen Shao said, looking at his watch.

"Good idea, I'll arrange it later." Jiang Baili nodded.

"However, it should also be noted that the other side has a lot of anti-aircraft weapons, so the pilots are told to pay attention to the altitude and also pay attention to dodging. It's densely forested and easy to hide, so you need to be careful. Even if there is a pre-emptive investigation, it should not be careless. Chen Shao said.

"I'll tell you to go down." Jiang Baili said.

Chen Shao finally said: "But it's all tomorrow's show, and we must take good care of the 'friends' who come from afar at night, and we must fulfill our landlord's friendship." ”
