Chapter 714: The Battle of Righteousness
The night was deep and the north wind was blowing. />
The two sides of the confrontation through the ice were still uneventful, each lighting a torch of vigilance, and if anyone looked at it from a distance, they would see a starry sky that seemed to be across the river of darkness, and in the middle of the stars, there was a huge and deep darkness, which made the two sides distinct.
Of course, this is only a faΓ§ade, because both sides lack the means to approach each other covertly, so the real deployment of the enemy is unknown.
From this point of view, Yan Rou was more dominant, and the camp that stretched for miles was enough for him to make more arrangements in it. On Tai Shici's side, there are more than a dozen ships over and over again, and the upper limit of the force and the movement of the fleet are all clear at a glance, and there is naturally no way to talk about the strategy.
This advantage paralyzed Yan Rou to a certain extent, and his focus was always on the overall movement of the Qingzhou fleet, but he was not interested in the internal movement of the fleet.
Therefore, when Tai Shi Ci gathered all his warriors on the flagship and began the final mobilization before the raid, the reward of Yan Roujun's lookout was still the same: everything was normal.
Tai Shi Ci stood on the roof of the cabin, looking at the soldiers who were about to follow behind him and launch an attack on a powerful enemy ten times his strength, his mood surging like a tidal wave.
It was too dark at night, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the enemy camp, the fleet did not deliberately increase the illumination, and the few torches that were blown by the fierce sea breeze were flickering and flickering, and even with the eyes of Tai Shici, he could not see the faces of all the warriors.
But it doesn't matter, he doesn't need to look at it with his eyes, as long as he wants to, everyone's voices will clearly come to mind.
"The battle plan, everyone should be clear, if someone is still unclear, hurry up and ask their own officers, don't wait for the matter to come to an end. Right now. What I am going to tell you is not the steps and methods of the battle, but the necessity of the battle......"
Tai Shici's precepts, like his fighting style, are simply direct and to the point.
"The enemy is much stronger than us, and even if the raid is carried out smoothly, this battle is still dangerous and abnormal. Although the strategic situation of our army is somewhat unfavorable, it is not much dangerous. Since the beginning of the self-mobilization of the army, there are more dangerous winds and waves than this, and compared with that time, the current situation is very good. β
"Frankly, even if this battle is a complete victory. It will not play a decisive role, the main army of Badun is still there, and the 20,000 Zahu who responded to Yan Rou's call are still there, and the situation on the eastern front will not change much. In addition, Yan Rou also has the intention of luring the enemy, and it is likely that he has set up a tight and loose formation, waiting for us to enter. β
"One might think. In that case, why bother fighting this battle? β
"To make a contribution? No, since the first year of the first peace, he has followed the lord so far, and he has experienced more than a hundred battles? Even if you lie on the credit book of the past. It's enough to spend the rest of your life at ease, and there's no need to risk your life to take this little credit. And you ......"
"There are veterans who have followed a certain person from the beginning, and there are also new recruits who have just joined. No matter what kind of identity, it is strictly selected and trained. I have put in great efforts, and the General's Mansion has also spent a lot of resources to create it. It seems that throwing you into such a battle is also a loss, so it is better to go back to Drifting Yujin and hold on, and then show your skills when you counterattack. β
Tai Shici's five hundred soldiers were named after the Marine Corps by Wang Yu, but strictly speaking, this unit did not belong to the battle sequence of the navy, but a branch of the Hidden Mist Army.
The two hundred heroes who followed Tai Shi Ci to the east and fought in Sanhan were selected from the Hidden Fog Army, and the rest of the recruits were added after returning, and the previous ones received the same military training as the recruits of the Hidden Fog Army.
That's why Tai Shi Ci said that letting them take risks is a loss-making business. This sentence is not Tai Shici's original, but the conclusion reached by the Chinese staff of the General's Mansion after counting the consumption of the Hidden Mist Army and comparing it with other armies.
In terms of the consumption of individual soldiers, among the six armies, only the Guards Iron Cavalry can be compared with the combat troops of the Hidden Fog Army, and the former is equipped with an iron cavalry, which is extremely powerful in actual combat, and can be used as one as ten, while the Hidden Fog Army needs to play the greatest role in a special environment.
In comparison, it is indeed a loss.
Tai Shi Ci knew that Wang Yu's light troops went south to Xuzhou, and they did not bring their personal guards and iron cavalry, but brought Wei Yan's new army of 500 hidden fogs, which did not give the reorganized hidden fog army a chance to show its combat strength, and the meaning of the correct name.
This is also something that cannot be helped, since the reorganization of the army in the Hebei War, in terms of the speed of expansion, the strong proportion of consumption, and the high priority of selecting recruits, the Hidden Fog Army can be described as the first garrison.
The expansion referred to here is not a simple personnel expansion, but a systematic expansion.
Up to now, there are several major systems within the Hidden Mist Army.
Jia Xu's spy department remained the same, the action team in charge of assassination and other dark operations was spun off, and after Xu Shu set up a teaching team under Wang Yu's instructions, the command was transferred to Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong. Wei Yan's troops belonged to the combat sequence, and they were the only hidden fog troops on the table before Wang Yu decided to establish the Marine Corps.
With only the current five branches, the Hidden Mist Army is enough to form a system of its own, and if you consider the logistics and supply aspects, the Hidden Mist Army is very different from the rest of the five armies.
The Hidden Mist Army has a special equipment manufacturing department, which is subordinate to the general, but it is under the direct leadership of Wang Yu, and the director of this department is Huang Yueying.
This department specializes in experimenting and producing new equipment, as long as new equipment passes the technical acceptance, the first to be equipped must be the Hidden Mist Army, in this regard, even the Guard Iron Cavalry and the Thunder Army, which specializes in long-range weapons, cannot be compared.
That is, Wei Yan performed well in Xuzhou, and Xu Shu fought well in Bingzhou, so there was not much dissent in the army, but with the beginning of the Northern Xinjiang War, the performance of the Hidden Fog Army was unsatisfactory.
The resources consumed are no less than those of other ministries, but the strategic role is very limited, and the staff members have not been less inclined to advise Wang Yu on this matter. Everyone agreed that except for the need to survive the spy system and the training team, the Marine Corps was debatable, and that other units could actually be reduced and abolished as appropriate.
Wei Yan's special operations forces had too few soldiers, and the actual combat effect was also limited. The previous time in Xuzhou was under the personal command of Wang Yu, so the battle was brilliant, and he waited until the Northern Xinjiang War. Wei Yan's contribution is far less than before.
In the northern Hebei battlefield, it was Zhao Yun's cavalry that played a decisive role, and in the Fanyang battlefield, Wei Yan almost failed to play any role, and waited until Wang Yu personally led his troops to arrive, which calmed the situation in Fanyang.
The staff believed that instead of carrying out the policy of consuming huge soldiers to the end, it was better to change course and accurately locate Wei Yan's troops. It will be expanded according to the model of ordinary combat units and become a combat force that can truly take charge of itself.
And the assassination of the assassin troops, in fact, is not much necessary. After Wang Yu's assassination of Dong and Xu Shu's assassination frenzy in Xuzhou, the princes all took warning. Greatly strengthened the guards around himself and important people in the army.
Now, if we want to solve the problem by assassination and assassination, there will not be no hope of success at all, but the costs and expenditures will certainly be considerable, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
In this regard, Tai Shici was very unhappy, especially after the establishment of the Marine Corps.
The predecessor of the Hidden Mist Army, the special combat team, originally grew up in the hands of Tai Shici, and he was considered a veteran. Though because he himself does not covet authority. Soon the command of the unit was handed over to Xu Shu, but he was still faintly proud of the achievements of this army.
Now that he is going around and around, he has returned to his original position, and Tai Shici is not dissatisfied. Anyway, it's good to have a battle, but if someone looks down on the Hidden Mist Army, he can't bear it no matter what.
In this raid battle, there are many decisive factors. But from Tai Shici's subjective point of view, he just wanted to fight vigorously. Justify the name of the Hidden Mist Army! Use the facts to tell those Wenchen who can only stare at the data that this army carefully built by the lord has its value and is necessary for its existence!
The soldiers listened with bated breath, and the deep night could not block the light in their eyes, and the clenched fists clearly showed that their hearts were not at peace.
But no one made a noise, and there was no need to verbal resolve, and certainly no one objected.
If it is said that before Tai Shi Ci's words, there are still people who think that it is not true. Then, when Tai Shici explained this special meaning to this battle, everyone realized that this battle was imperative, in the face of such determination, language was pale and powerless, and speaking with a knife and gun was what a warrior should do.
"When the special combat team was established, the lord once said to a certain person that the special combat team is the sharp knife of the whole army, and it should be indomitable, and it is better to bend than bend! There are many people and few people are not a reason, and there is no need to think about whether to suffer losses or not, the mission of the sharp knife is to share the worries of the lord and make the enemy lose courage, this is the true spirit of the Hidden Mist Army! β
Tai Shi Ci waved his hand violently and shouted in a deep voice: "Today, I will take you to correct the name of the Hidden Mist Army!" Let all those who once looked down on us be surprised, and let them face up to the strong soldiers created by the lord again! All those who are proud of the hidden fog, come with me and kill him upside down! β
"Swear to follow!" The crowd responded in unison.
Chen Shao, who had always had reservations about Tai Shici's decision-making, was the first to act, he commanded the sailors, stretched out the long wooden planks prepared in advance from the side of the ship, and placed them diagonally between the ice and the side of the ship, and kept whispering: "Closer, closer!" β
"Chen Sima, you can't get any closer, if you get closer, the bottom of the boat will easily hit the ice floe, and it will leak!" The sailor reminded.
"If you leak, you will leak." Chen Zhen replied easily: "If you can't follow General Ziyi to attack and kill the enemy, if the ship sinks, it will be considered a ruined ship, and it will be a good story in the future." Move closer, stretch the pedals farther, and let the Marine brothers take less risk! β
"Whoa!"
When the sailors were busy, the others were not idle, Tai Shici was the first to complete the preparations, and when the ship was stable, Chen Zhen made a gesture of completion, he looked around and asked, "Are you ready?" β
"Yes!"
"Very good, let's go!" Tai Shi Ci nodded, flew and jumped, and landed accurately on the oblique pedal, with a sharp friction sound, he instantly accelerated, flew down along the pedal, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Behind him, loyal warriors rushed forward.
ps: I have to go out in the afternoon, and the update can only wait until the evening to come back, at least there will be a change
