Chapter 132 Interlocking Calculations
At the end of lunch, Gu Changfeng's more than 380 brothers were temporarily organized into two companies by Yin Jinan, and the former deputy Mu Recall of the Second Company and the deputy Lu Guang of the Third Company served as the company commanders of the two newly formed companies, and eight of Gu Changfeng's right-hand men were appointed platoon commanders, and 64 of them who had never shot a gun but had worked in the horse gang became the subordinates of the elder of the Quartermaster Logistics Unit.
The well-fed brothers are strong and energetic, and the marching team is orderly and the speed is greatly accelerated, in Yin Jinan's words, they want to snatch back the delayed time, and if they can't go to the original Xita Town today, no one wants to eat and rest.
Gu Changfeng rode the zebra left by Xia Jian, the officer's wide belt around his waist was inserted on the left and right of a brand-new shell gun, the bulky wooden shell holster was abandoned by him, saying that it was swaying and awkward on his back, according to his request, Lao Chang specially issued him eight beautiful leather cartridges, he strung them all to the belt and pushed them to the back waist, the big knife given by An Yi He put on the rifle strap and carried it to his back, the beautiful tiger head-shaped knife handle exposed a large section from behind his left shoulder, and the whole person instantly became majestic, like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, Let more than 1,000 brothers have respect when they see it.
Gu Changfeng hung the telescope that An Yi had just given him on his chest, and followed An Yi with a spring breeze on his face, and the two of them walked out of ten miles and called each other has changed:
"Boss, you said that beard and Xia Jian's kid took more than 200 elites to the south trail to play forward, can the two hundred or so people block the two small intersections north of Luo City?"
"No problem, for this battle we have done meticulous reconnaissance and careful preparations, the two groups of reconnaissance brothers of the police platoon have been staying in the ambush around Shangfu to monitor, the detailed terrain and the changes that have occurred will be seen in their eyes, they will be notified in time, there are three elite soldiers and strong generals of the reinforced battalion by their side, it is estimated that Shangfu has been occupied by us at this time, but I don't know how they deal with the more than 2,000 defenders there, it seems that we can't get any prisoners, I hope Xia Jian this kid is smart, Cleaning up the battlefield in time to get some benefits, otherwise they will be preempted by the more than 2,000 brothers of the fourth and sixth regiments, who had quietly acted with them the night before. It's a pity that it would be convenient if there was a walkie-talkie, and we can all talk to Beard now. An Yi misses the advanced communication equipment of the modern battlefield.
"Walkie-talkie? Is it the kind of hand-cranked telephone that is fashionable in big cities? Gu Changfeng asked puzzled.
An Yi shook his head: "No, it is a brand-new battlefield communication equipment, in recent years, European and American countries have begun to develop, I haven't heard of anyone who can make it, the kind of wired hand-cranked telephone you said has been equipped with various armies for a long time, the two midshipmen of the fifth phase of the Huangpu Military Academy who have just been assigned behind us are doing this, I heard them say that the military telephone line from Guangzhou to Changsha has been erected, and it seems that it can be connected to Wuhan around New Year's Day next year." At present, all division-level units of our revolutionary army are equipped with cumbersome radio stations, and they only have simple functions of sending and receiving telegrams. ”
Gu Changfeng looked at An Yi with admiration: "Boss, you have to tell me about this matter, otherwise I will be left behind, I have been either wandering outside or nesting in the mountains for so many years, and I don't know anything about the new things you say, this is not good." ”
An Yi laughed: "Tiger head, with your solid foundation in practicing the art of war and the Four Books and Five Classics since you were a child, you will understand a lot of new terms that sound quite scary, there is nothing mysterious, even the veteran platoon commanders under Lao Tzu who don't know a few big characters now understand ......"
An Yi immediately told Gu Changfeng in detail about the current military establishment, personnel composition, military law and military merit regulations, promotion system, etc., and was very happy to see that Gu Changfeng accepted it quickly, so the topic changed to explain to him in detail the meaning, training and combat methods, roles and several combat examples of special operations, and Gu Changfeng was very excited and yearning for it, and was very surprised that An Yi, Yin Jinan and Hu Zi had been unremittingly training and guiding the sixty brothers of the police platoon for several months, and when he heard that the current Xia Jian platoon was just an experiment in the early stage. After there was still a long way to go from the real special forces, he immediately realized the meaning of An Yi's words.
Gu Changfeng smiled, put away his smile and whispered: "Boss, you don't want to take me away from you, I will follow you in this life!" Since his debut, Lao Tzu has only served three people, the first is the deceased teacher, the third is the hidden beard, and the second is you. Although I am three years older than you, but in my heart you are the person who Lao Tzu has followed all his life, just like the teacher warned before his death, saying that if I don't have a leader in this life, I will be mediocre and even calamitous in my life, at that time I didn't understand the deep meaning of the teacher's words, but now I think about it suddenly brightly, everything in the troubled times is about an encounter, a fate, just like Zhang Yide Guan Yunchang in the Three Kingdoms period, if you can't meet the troubled times and can't see Liu Bei, it is estimated that you will have to kill pigs and sell dates for the rest of your life. ”
An Yi was shocked: "Tiger head, you have said this!" Lao Tzu's short-term goal is to eliminate the warlords, resist foreign humiliation, and take away all the alien races that forcibly occupy our Chinese land, and when it is a little quiet, he will set up a few industries in Nanchang, Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and even Yanjing and Tianjin, and then go back to his hometown in Sichuan to open mines and build factories to produce some guns and automobiles.
It's very simple for you to have a lot of money in this life, and you can do it by following Lao Tzu for a year, but if you want to become a founding hero, you have to take another path...... So, when you get down Nanjing, you will enter the military school and study systematically for a year and a half, and then Lao Tzu will lead you to see Principal Jiang, and then recommend you to a few bosses who are now very prominent, with your ability to be able to take charge of yourself in three or five years, and it is not very difficult to get a military commander to be a military commander at that time, what about me, I will almost disarm and return to the field, and concentrate on the development of Lao Tzu's industrial and commercial empire, in addition to fighting wars in this life, I only make money to make Lao Tzu addicted, haha! ”
Gu Changfeng raised his arrogant head contemptuously: "Boss, you don't want to drive me away, Lao Tzu will follow you in this life, where are you going to be Lao Tzu!" As for the main battalion commander and special captain of Kiba, these kiba things, Lao Tzu is not uncommon, you let others go, haha...... Phew-drive! ”
Gu Changfeng turned his horse's head and rode his horse to the back of the team, his guard Dou Fang also beat his horse to follow, and the machine gun behind him shook and shook, and followed behind Gu Changfeng to shout loudly to the newly formed brothers, urging them to speed up the march.
An Yi looked at the unruly Gu Changfeng's agile and heroic posture on horseback and sighed, thinking in his heart: Lao Tzu is just a little school officer of his mother, which point is worthy of this guy's attention?
Thinking about his half of his ideals, An Yi's heart was very heavy, he never expected that the current Sino-Chinese relationship would be so good, not only the Yanjing political axe of the Beiyang warlord and Yue Ben fought hotly, but a large number of generals in the revolutionary army who came back from studying in Yue Ben, the central party department and the local political axe are inextricably linked with Yue himself, it seems that everything in Yue Ben is an example for China to follow, and everyone is blinded by Yu Ben's hypocrisy, Even the huge interests and colonies in China obtained by the Yuben Empire through the Russo-Japanese War are considered to be very normal, and the figures of professors and military instructors can be seen everywhere in schools and military academies around the country, which makes An Yi very puzzled and hateful.
But now, what can he do as a small battalion commander? Is it to speak out against the invaders? What examples can be used to arouse the attention of those around them to the impending disaster? If he really did this, he An Yi would become an abnormal person in the eyes of everyone, a paranoid or even an extremely ignorant and arrogant person. Therefore, he can only be patient, only step up the formulation and perfection of his expansion plan, and strive to become a person with great power and extensive social influence in the fastest speed and in the shortest time, only in this way can he realize his ideals and do his best to save the motherland and the people who have suffered from great disasters.
It was already eight o'clock in the night when the team entered Xita Town and set up camp, and Hu Zi, who had successfully completed the task, had already led a company of more than 50 brothers from three platoons to enter this place an hour earlier, and unceremoniously occupied the Wang family ancestral hall in the east of the town. This was originally the location of a battalion headquarters of Sun Chuanfang's Lin Tongjiang Brigade, and the three rows of wooden barracks built around the ancestral hall were fully equipped, and it was extremely convenient for more than 1,000 brothers who were exhausted to enter and bury pots to make rice.
Under the bright horse lamp in the ancestral hall hall, more than ten captains at all levels sat together, and after the beard finished talking about the surprise attack, he raised his voice and talked eloquently, his face looked very admired:
“…… At first, I didn't know the chief of staff's intention of ordering us to deliberately let go of the defenders of a company in Luoshi, but I just killed a dozen deserters who were left behind as ordered, sent three platoons of brothers to pretend to pursue for two or three miles, picked up a dozen long and short guns, and came back, and the brothers of the fourth and sixth regiments did not show up.
After taking Luoshi, our division and the brothers of the 4th Regiment and the 1st Battalion quickly approached Shangfu, occupied the commanding heights two kilometers east of the town before the arrival of more than 2,000 defenders of Shangfu, and blocked the retreat of the defending enemy with powerful firepower. The Fifth Regiment fought very quickly under the command of Regiment Commander Wen, and before the enemy had time to retreat, the three main battalions of the Fifth Regiment broke through the position from the east, and the three battalions of the Fourth Regiment and the two battalions of the Sixth Regiment broke through the positions in the north and south and narrowed the encirclement, and the entire battle took only 43 minutes from beginning to end, killing more than 400 enemies and capturing more than 1,800 people, and more than 60 people killed and more than 100 wounded in various units of our division.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, our first company and the two platoons of the battalion undertook the heaviest task, and the decision to break through the enemy's brigade headquarters was to take advantage of the chaos and capture more than 50 officers and men of the enemy's headquarters, including 12 generals and colonels such as Lin Tongjiang, the enemy's major general and brigade commander.
In this battle, 17 soldiers were killed and 29 were wounded, six of whom were veteran squad leaders, and none of the brothers at the company and platoon level were killed or wounded. ”
Hu Zi took the teacup handed by Yin Jinan and put it aside, and then said the incomparably admirable ingenious strategy of the division:
"Just when I wanted to ask for instructions on how to deal with the prisoners and captures, the deputy division commander and the chief of staff issued an order to the three main regiments to advance quickly at the same time, and I learned that the chief of staff asked me to let go of the defenders of a company in Luo City, the purpose was to let that company of the rout return to Fengxin News, and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 4th Regiment and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 6th Regiment who remained in Luo City had quietly followed and rushed to Yijiaba, 24 kilometers east of Luo City, to set up an ambush, waiting for reinforcements from Fengxin City to drill into the ambush circle. After receiving the order, the three main regiments immediately threw down all their heavy weapons and rushed to Yijiaba at full speed, leaving only Li Yannian, deputy of the fifth regiment, to lead two newly formed battalions to garrison Shangfu Town, and collect prisoners and count the captures.
When I left Luo City at half past four in the afternoon, the front quickly reported that about 2,000 men and horses of the two main regiments defending the enemy had entered our ambush circle, and the battle was going on. ”
All the brothers cheered, An Yi leaned heavily on the back of the chair, hugged his left arm with a faint pain and sighed: "Jiang is still old and spicy...... Lao Tzu always thought that the plan that the three of us had painstakingly formulated was already very awesome, but I didn't expect it to be so narrow and short-sighted compared with the bosses of the division...... A few bosses are tall! Deliberately let go of a company to defend the enemy, and let the fleeing enemy who went back to call the police think that there were not many of us, and further strengthened the confidence of Fengxin to defend the enemy to rush to the aid of Shangfu Town, and in a hurry, obediently got into the preset pockets of the three battalions, plus the other main battalions rushed over to join in the fun, and the enemy's two regiments were gone.
In this way, half of the defenders of the two divisions in the Fengxin direction are gone, and the remaining division of more than 7,000 people can only defend the lonely city, and they are no longer able to attack. ”
After hearing An Yi's words, the brothers immediately shut up and pondered, and after a while, they all let out a cry of admiration.
Gu Changfeng, who participated in the combat meeting for the first time, listened to it with wide eyes, these were just exquisite strategies and accurate calculations that he had read in books, how could he not be shocked and admired when he appeared by his side alive at this moment?
Seeing An Yi's face full of guilt, Gu Changfeng finally understood how big the gap was between himself and the brothers present, and he was conceited and self-reliant, and he secretly made up his mind that he must self-deny and work hard to catch up step by step, otherwise his face would be dull!
"Xia Jian, what did they gain?" An Yi asked weakly.
Hu Zi smiled slightly: "The total amount of foreign and gold and silver jewelry collected is about 6,500 oceans, twelve packs of tobacco and soil, and all the captured heavy weapons were sent to the five regiments cleaning the battlefield according to the previous meaning, leaving two eighty percent new heavy machine guns, four American-made light machine guns of the same standard as ours, and more than 350 long and short guns, and most of the rest were given to several main regiments." ”
An Yi nodded: "It is estimated that Xia Jian's gang of grandsons are all just about collecting gold, silver, treasures and opium, next time it can't be like this, we are now almost 1,500 brothers, the artillery company is about to be established, and the shadow of artillery is not yet there, how can we not seize it for ourselves?" However, it is okay to have this achievement. ”
Only then did Hu Zi have time to turn to Gu Changfeng: "Changfeng, I have a hunch that you will come back, so I will bring you a small gift, Changhe, bring something over...... This is the drape on the body of the enemy's major general and brigade commander, I noticed that you looked at my belt for a while while while drinking, but unfortunately the original one was taken away by Xia Jian, otherwise I would have given it to you at that time, but fortunately I got a new one, which is more delicate than the one I used, and now I will make it up for you. ”
Gu Changfeng took over the delicate lanyard specially made by the Beiyang general, and liked it very much, the gold-inlaid silver buckle was shining, and there was a sheathed dagger hanging on it, and he took out the incomparably sharp seven-inch blade blue water, the four ingenious silver buckles on the front and back were exquisite and sleek, and the flexible and thick diagonal strap was extremely convenient, so that he couldn't put it down and was very grateful, stood up suddenly, and respectfully saluted the beard with a fist: "Little brother, thank you, big brother!" ”
Hu Zi shook his head slightly: "If you wear this military uniform, you will have to change it to a military salute in the future." ”
The brothers laughed, but Gu Changfeng didn't laugh, but put his legs together and saluted Hu Zi with a standard military salute, Hu Zi hurriedly stood up and saluted back, this back and forth once again caused a burst of laughter from the brothers, and even An Yi's bitter gourd face showed a smile.
