Chapter 93: Mentor
"It's okay...... Luckily, we won! β
Zhou Lusheng, who was lying by the river, relaxed his nerves for the first time after crossing the Datong River, took out the cigarette that he had not been willing to smoke from the shriveled cigarette case, and looked at the soldiers by the river who were bathing in the river water, slapping each other in the river, turning over and over in the water, and sometimes showing their buttocks, they were washing away the dirt on the battlefield in this way, so as to return home cleanly. **Biquge.biquge. updated the fastest**
At this moment, a correspondent from the General Staff Department appeared, and Zhou Lusheng saw him from afar. With one hand on his back, he held down the rifle that crackled as it collided with the kettle, and trotted through the rice fields. From the pace of his trot, Zhou Lusheng immediately understood that maybe it was a new order.
The correspondent of the divisional staff jumped over the rice field.
"Xiao Jiangxi, what's the matter?"
"Report to the chief, Chief of Staff, please come over."
He bared his white teeth and wiped his sweat-stained forehead with his military cap.
"Who, please? Excuse me? β
I'm just a small battalion commander, why would the chief of staff come to invite me?
"Yes, sir, please, and Feng Lian of the regimental cavalry company, say that you will arrive at the division headquarters in fifteen minutes."
"What's the matter, don't you know?"
Buckle the canvas belt, Zhou Lusheng asked Xiao Jiangxi with some puzzlement.
"I know."
Xiao Jiangxi shrugged his shoulders, he was already sweating all the way over.
"Because, you know what...... All the communications troops have been sent out, and I guess it's a matter of retreat......"
"Impossible, the order to retreat was issued by the General Staff, and it was going in batches and blocks, and it had to be synchronized with the withdrawal of the Japanese army in the northeast, and there was no decision-making power in the division!"
Although he didn't know what it was, Zhou Lusheng still categorically overturned Xiao Jiangxi's speculation, the withdrawal of North Korea and the withdrawal of troops in the northeast were carried out simultaneously, and no one could take advantage of anyone, just like now, the first batch of people to withdraw to Jiangbei were the wounded, and I believe that the wounded of the Japanese army in the northeast have also begun to retreat.
"Then I don't know, sir, hurry up!"
When Zhou Lusheng arrived at the division headquarters, Chief of Staff Zhao Yizhi was not there, he was there in the 186th Regiment. There were only a few staff officers in the staff of the division headquarters, and no one knew why he was here. Ma Fu, the commander of the cavalry company of the division, who was not tall but quite sturdy, was panting and cursing in the courtyard while arranging the saddle and taking out some barley from his pocket to feed the horses.
"Dog's Day...... Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops, all the fucking withdraw! β
Not everyone is in favor of withdrawing troops, but as soldiers, do they have any other options than obedience? There is clearly no choice.
Walking next to Ma Fufu, Zhou Lusheng chattered as usual.
"But it's not, we said that we would never retreat, we can't accept it, and the soldiers can't accept it, no matter how enlightened they are......
A staff officer next to him laughed.
"What is unacceptable...... I saw half of the people, after hearing the news of the armistice, they were all happy, they were all happy, thinking about where their fields were, calculating how much retirement money they could get, huh...... Yes, the war is over, and the 1.83 million Imperial Guards Army has finally completed its sacred mission......"
Listening to the words of the midshipman staff officer, Ma Fu sighed deeply. ~##η¬θΆ£ι.biquge.must go to read novels##
"Maybe, but it's their business to disarm and return to the field, anyway, I'm going to stay in the army!"
No one answered, everyone understood that if the war really ended, maybe there would really be many people who would be disarmed and returned to the fields, and in the northeast, didn't Your Majesty prepare Xuntian for everyone? When the time comes...... At this time, there was an intermittent rumbling sound on the horizon, and a dozen planes passed slowly, all heading north.
"These guys, send four boxes of 18,000 rounds of ammunition at a time, this time, it's really hard enough for them!"
The midshipman waved his hand into the air.
"16 ......"
In the past, in order to replenish ammunition for the troops in Jiangnan, the military headquarters could be said to have taken great pains, in addition to using rafts to force the troops to cross at night, and also using airplanes and ants to transport ammunition to them.
At this moment, a lieutenant colonel walked in from outside the courtyard, and he walked straight to the three men who were talking.
"Hello sir!"
When the three of them stood up and saluted, Zhao Yizhi just nodded, and his mood was obviously not very good.
"Come in."
After saying a word, Zhao Yizhi didn't speak anymore and went directly into the house. He was neatly dressed and had a cold attitude, and as usual, all the buttons of his clothes, including the discipline buttons, were buttoned, and he held a paper cigarette between his fingertips, which smoked from time to time. And then he didn't even look up at the two people he wanted to see. ,
Standing in front of the chief of staff, both Ma Fu and Ma Fu were silent. And those staff officers who seemed to have nothing to do almost subconsciously wanted the chief of staff to appear busy when he was present, and everyone had something to do there that they might have been busy with, or they were looking for something on the map.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Yizhi looked up at the short and sturdy lieutenant in front of him, he should be the horse of the cavalry company, and the other one looked a little ...... Well, the delicate one is Zhou Lusheng, the commander of the first battalion.
"Hello Chief of Staff!"
Seeing that the chief of staff looked at him, the two raised their hands again and gave a military salute, and did not put it down until the report was finished.
Zhao Yizhi, who was originally sitting, stood up at this time, and Zhou Lusheng and Zhao Fufu, who didn't know why, also stood up.
"Have you received orders?"
Zhao Yizhi's voice was a little stern, and as he spoke, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, and then walked to the map of the wall force.
"Look here."
As he spoke, Zhao Yizhi pointed to the map, and a thick red line on the map ran from left to there and from north to south.
"Sir, this is the route of retreat...... Is it? β
Looking at the route, Ma Fu said one thing. But when he was about to finish speaking, he realized that this was not a route to advance.
Zhao Yizhi took out another paper cigarette, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and cast his eyes after exhaling the smoke.
"Got it?"
No one said anything, just looked at that line, who could understand how much? && Latest Chapter: Pen Fun Pavilion &&
"When Ming Da arrives at Hou Da, we withdraw a regiment, the first journey is 38 kilometers, and after assembling in Shaolitai, we will march in a marching column, of course, with patrols and guards. This is the arrangement for the retreat of the troops. β
The Chief of Staff's words were very concise, every word was very clear, but when he spoke, his eyes were always fixed.
"The first battalion will stay on the spot and cover the retreat, do you understand now?"
"Yes, sir!"
When Zhou Lusheng answered, Zhao Yizhi exhaled a short but strong puff of smoke, and then he squinted his eyes and looked at him.
"Battalion commander, how many men are in your battalion?"
Zhou Lusheng thought about this matter by leveling the small movements of the military uniform on his body, which did not seem to be a complicated task.
"There are 427 people who can fight, and if you count the wounded - 445 in total."
"Where's the equipment?"
"Two Type 02 Maxim heavy machine guns, nine light machine guns, and nine 60 mortars."
"Where's the cannonball?"
"About 50 rounds or so."
"Where's the bullet?"
"An average of 250 rounds for heavy machine guns, 130 rounds for light machine guns, and about 25 rounds for rifles, sir, I hope to be replenished by at least one base!"
Zhou Lusheng said unhurriedly, this task does not seem to be complicated, an agreement has been reached with the Japanese, and the troops here are withdrawing across the river step by step, even if they are responsible for covering the retreat of the main force, there should be no battle.
As for how this order should be communicated to the soldiers? They're even ready to go home...... Well, it's just a few years late anyway.
"Well, give you five cardinal ......"
Zhao Yizhi generously gave him more ammunition.
"Ah...... Be...... It's sir. β
In the face of the sudden generosity, Zhou Lusheng was frightened, if it is a base number, this is a normal task, but five base numbers, this is even more than the ammunition they carried when they entered the court, what does sufficient ammunition mean? This means that a battle beyond imagination could break out at any time.
Will there still be a war here? And the Japanese? So why are you still retreating? Countless questions sprung up in Zhou Lusheng's mind, but he understood that if the chief didn't explain, what he needed to do was to obey orders.
"As for ......"
Zhao Yizhi pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Zhao Fufu on the side.
"Your mission is ......"
His hand drew a line on the map, and then stared at Zhao Fufu.
"To
Rendezvous with allies here! β
In the mountains south of Pyongyang, Zhao Fufu, who was riding on a horse, had already ridden his Don hippo, the same as the Russian cavalry, the Chinese cavalry also rode the Don hippo, and even in order to show the "friendship" between China and Russia, the Russian Empire also gave China 3,000 mares and 400 stallions a month ago, and the Chinese ambassador to Russia bought nearly 30,000 war horses before and after Russia. Perhaps it is precisely because China's fine war horse domestication is far inferior to that of other countries that the army unswervingly promotes the "motorization" of the troops, the price of a good war horse is equivalent to a car, but the war horse is a vulnerable product, and it is precisely because of this that the Chinese cavalry company is often the only "mobile unit" of the infantry division. ,
Although Zhao Fufu's son is not tall, he is sturdy with a tiger's waist, a round face, and thick arms, and he looks very strong. At this moment he was riding on a black Don horse, and gave a simple battle order to the brethren of the cavalry company:
"Check the equipment! Tighten one's belt! The saber is unsheathed! Bullets loaded! Launched! β
After a chattering sound of belt buckles clashing and grinding, the warriors flew on their horses and sat down on their horses in unison. In any Guards unit, the cavalry company, like the search battalion, is the elite battle reserve of the infantry division, they have not participated in several battles since the beginning of the war, the soldiers are in the barracks and horses are in the stables, listening to the sound of guns and cannons from the front, they have long worn the hearts of these cavalrymen with horse head armbands on their shoulders and arms out of thick calluses, and they have always dreamed of galloping on the land of Korea and breathing the air of Korea on their war horses!
The military operations that the cavalry company will carry out today are the responsibility and glory of the soldiers, and every cavalry member hopes to do something practical in this war, after all, until the time of withdrawal, they are just spectators.
Most of the soldiers recognized the pre-battle mobilization of the company commander at noon, believing that this expedition was not to go deep alone, but to make peace with friendly troops, and then lead friendly troops to advance and withdraw from their positions, and all this is to give full play to the characteristics of the cavalry's rapid mobility, although there may not be a fierce battle, but at least this will make them not ashamed because they are spectators when they get the "Battle Commemorative Medal"!
As for why only a small number of cavalry were sent to carry out this wound? The answer was that luring friendly troops into the position of the enemy was a covert operation, so it had to be carried out covertly. If everything goes according to the predicted course of action, then there will be an important turning point on the Korean Peninsula.
Before leaving, Zhao Fu received a strict order: "If you encounter the Japanese army, you can't avoid it, you must completely annihilate the enemy army!" β
Liu Kunpeng led the two brothers Zhou Shaoling, Shaoju and the interpreter sent by the company commander, wearing the uniform of the Guards and riding the war horse that he felt to him, and advanced in front of the cavalry company. The task of the four of them was to serve as the spearhead of the whole company, to guard along the way, and after passing through a valley, they fired a safety flare into the air.
"The whole company keeps in formation and follows the go!"
Seeing the safety signal, Zhao Fufu raised his horsewhip in his right hand and issued a marching order.
The cavalry company was about 120 or 30 riders, each of whom carried either a rifle or a submachine gun on his shoulder, and a Russian-style Chashik military saber on his waist.
Although no Japanese troops had ever appeared in the place where the cavalry company attacked, and the color was dark, the soldiers of the whole company were a hundred times more vigilant, rode their horses and walked slowly, and found no trace of the enemy along the way. When they arrived near Shaolipu, the color was already faint, and the cavalry company, which had been marching all night, immediately concentrated behind the forest near the valley, and at the same time sent two fast horses to spy on the deployment of the blockade trench near Wujiafen.
Liu Kunpeng and the others walked at the head of the cavalry company, their lips were always closed, their eyes were slightly narrowed, their heads were slightly lowered, and their bodies were rhythmically undulating and swaying with the horses.
Jinda was ordered to go on an expedition to complete a task that usually seemed mundane, but Liu Kunpeng had a different feeling in his mind. According to Liu Kunpeng's previous statement, it is.
"Being a soldier and fighting a war is like drinking cold water, what do you have to think about? If you have food, you will eat and drink, if you sleep, you will sleep and let go of fart, the two armies will meet and swing a knife to cut over, kill people on the battlefield, and be alive! β
But now although he was riding on a horse, what he was thinking about was this mission, and this mission was full of bitterness, and when he was thinking like this, he looked behind him.
The brothers were all on their horses, and their hearts were still and they had nothing to worry about. There is a guy in the team who quietly doesn't look like a soldier at all, that guy was brought by the company commander from the division headquarters, saying what kind of translator, going abroad to fight, there is always a lack of translators, but in this place in North Korea, it seems that there is no need for translation, and when you enter a village or a store, you can meet at least dozens of Koreans who can speak Chinese.
But why send a translator on purpose? There are ancient monsters in this mission, just like the military uniform in the package, it is Lao Maozi's military uniform, why do you have to prepare Lao Maozi's military uniform, that is, the brothers in the company change into Lao Maozi's military uniform, which doesn't look like Lao Maozi. ,
The cavalry company gathered behind the valley forest to rest, waiting for the news of the army, only at this moment did it open its eyes and ask Zhou Shaoling vigilantly.
"Where have you been?"
"It's almost close to Wu Shuli, squad leader."
When answering, Zhou Shaoling rode his horse and drove with the squad leader, but Liu Kunpeng looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, but couldn't help muttering in his heart, there seemed to be something wrong in this forest.
Liu Kunpeng called Zhou Shaoling and the other two brothers close and said.
"This place is weird, if it gets on fire for a while, I'll take it, you two brothers, and escort Chief Chen all the way to Lian Li to send a message, and now it's scattered, ready to respond at any time......"
Just as he was talking, Liu Kunpeng saw a light flashing on the edge of the forest in front of him, flashing long and short, he had just taken the gun off his back, but the translator who had been following behind the three of them took a few steps forward, took a flashlight and signaled forward.
"Could it be a friendly army?"
"Squad Leader Liu, don't worry, it's a friendly army!"
In the morning light, two horses rushed out of the woods, and the interpreter rode over.
In the woods, a soldier in a Guards uniform rode on a black horse, staring at the front with blazing eyes, watching the few people who were following over there.
"Is that them?"
When muttering in his heart, Mannerheim's brows furrowed again, and then he glanced at the subordinates of the 52nd Cavalry Regiment behind him, the officers and soldiers of the 52nd Cavalry Regiment are from the same Finnish Dominion as him, and the reason why they accepted this mission was because of their outstanding performance in the Battle of Fengda, although there are now riots in Finland demanding independence, but this time it has not affected Mannerheim's desire to continue to be loyal to the Tsar, and the 52nd Regiment is still fighting as bravely as in the past, for Russia, and also for Finland.
After connecting with Major Ivan, Chen Mukang followed him to the woods, and when the three reached the edge of the woods, a Russian colonel dressed in a Guards uniform rode out of the woods.
"Hello, Mr. Colonel!"
Mannerheim only nodded symbolically, to a certain extent, although he admired that these Chinese could beat the Japanese without fighting back, on the other hand, he still hoped to maintain his European arrogance, especially if he was still a nobleman!
"According to the instructions of our country, we will lead you into the region, but ......"
The arrogance of the other party was seen in Chen Mukang's eyes, he just sneered in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, after all, he was sending these Russians to make trouble for the Japanese.
"Mr. Colonel, since we will be taught! I think now you can change your uniforms! β
After giving the order to the chief of staff next to him in Finnish, Mannerheim muttered in his heart, these Chinese, when they are really cunning to the extreme, reached an agreement with the Japanese with one hand, but sold the Japanese with the other, and always be careful when dealing with them in the future, so as to save the big deal from being sold by them and help them count the votes!
