The forward unit of the Dream Division had a regiment, which was Li Fei's second regiment.

Li Fei was born in the Juvenile Guards Corps, that is, the first batch of juvenile house slaves recruited by Li Yongji when he started his family, in terms of nature, he belonged to the earliest group of people from Conglong, plus these people were students taught by Li Yongji himself, so his status was different from others.

Later, when the queen was all from these young guards, and even a few personal servants held important positions, this mysterious group was even more extraordinary in the eyes of others.

It is rumored that these members of the Young Guards are the core disciples of His Majesty, and they are also the hearts and minds of His Majesty, and their status is slightly lower than that of the emperor's own son, so although the Young Guards Regiment does not have any public office, the group itself is a tall label, mysterious, noble, and enviable, and is a real protégé of the Son of Heaven.

However, although there are a lot of rumors in the outside world, in fact, the people of the Youth Guards Corps have been exposed to a large number of modern items at the beginning, especially many of them are more sensitive, such as tablets, etc., so their identities are also relatively sensitive, and Li Yongji will not let go, so most of them are still in a closed study, and only a very few people can really come out to do things and be contacted by everyone.

Among them, Li Fei is one of these very few people, and the reason why he can come out so early to take charge is not only because of his good academic performance, but also because of Li Yongjidang's teaching methods.

Most of the rumors in the market are wrong, but one thing is not wrong, the people of the Youth Guards Corps are indeed Li Yongji's students, and they are the core students who teach them personally.

In terms of teaching methods, Li Yongji in order to let them learn enough knowledge, so he was strict and implemented a kind of education similar to cramming, but. Although it is a cramming education, Li Yongji also pays attention to cultivating their interests.

Li Yongji has been targeted from the beginning, not like modern society, regardless of his own interests and hobbies, first learn enough basic knowledge, and after junior high school, he will cultivate specialties according to his own strengths, such as arts and sciences.

To put it simply, Li Yongji also teaches some basic content, such as Chinese and mathematics. But from the very beginning, he paid attention to cultivating students' interests and hobbies, adding a lot of activity classes, and when he found out what the students' interests and hobbies were, he began to consciously guide.

For example, if he is good at copying and drawing, he will let the student spend a lot of time learning to draw in advance, for example, if he has musical talent, he will give the student more teaching materials and equipment to learn music knowledge, if he likes to listen to stories. Then let them learn more literature, if it is better to do math problems, then let them learn Olympiad, if they like to go outdoors and play crazy. Then expose them to military education in advance.

Among them, Li Fei and others are a few children who especially like to go outdoors to make trouble, and they are very interested in military things. Therefore, Li Yongji taught these people military knowledge in advance.

However, at that time, there were a total of eight people who studied military affairs together, but they were really able to come out and do things. And only Li Fei, Bai Yunfei, and Zhang Long are the three people who are in charge, and now these three people have also become the three leaders of the Dream Division, and they can also be regarded as high-powered.

The reason why they can stand out like this, in addition to the fact that these three people are bold, careful, loyal, and very obedient, the more important reason is that these three people are rare mathematical geniuses in the Young Guards Regiment, and they are naturally better than others in mathematics!

In Li Yongji's view, the most important ability that a commander needs to have in commanding an army, especially a quasi-modern army, must be his ability to do so.

Although this view may not be accurate, in the current situation of strict lack of people, Li Yongji can only be judged by mathematical ability, because the quality of mathematical results can be seen at a glance, and the choice should be simpler.

In other words, Li Fei, Zhang Long, and Bai Yunfei may not have as much actual combat experience as others, but they are good at mathematics and have strong learning ability, so in order to have a group of available talents as soon as possible, Li Yongji taught them refined military works in modern society from the very beginning, and trained them as military commanders.

Of course, the reason why this is so is also related to the situation at that time, because at that time, Li Yongji had just begun to recruit troops to buy horse-drawn poles, and there was a shortage of all kinds of talents, so he thought about cultivating himself.

At that time, Li Yongji's plan was to build a high wall and slowly become the king, and he originally planned to have a showdown with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for three or five years, but who knew that so many changes happened later, and as a result, he rebelled in advance, which was something he never expected.

In any case, Li Fei and others have mastered a lot of basic military concepts through Li Yongji's words and deeds, which may not be anything in modern society, but in this era, they can be said to be a group of people who have the deepest understanding of modern military thinking besides Li Yongji.

In this case, it may be slightly inferior to let them lead the army of modern society, but it is quite good to let them command a quasi-modern army with high commutes, high firepower and high mobility.

The reason is very simple, the attack power and mobility of modern troops are already strong enough, and the most important talent that a commander needs to have is not to strategize, but to always master the logistics of his own troops.

In other words, as a commander of a modern army, you must always know what the supply and supply situation of your troops is, so as not to run out of gas in half of the car or run out of bullets in half of the gun, and these skills are related to mathematics.

This ability is generally speaking, it is a confidant who knows oneself and knows the other, but the supply of modern troops is relatively complicated, in addition to ammunition and food, fuel must be added, so people who have not learned these calculation methods in advance and have actually operated them will not be able to lead a mechanized army smoothly.

Coincidentally, Li Fei, Zhang Long, and others had come into contact with these for a long time, and during the period when the Red Fort in Hollywood led the troops, they actually understood where the limits of the troops were in the course of exercises again and again, so the command can already be said to be like an arm's arm.

Of course, frankly speaking, if you give others so many practical opportunities and textbook content, plus calculators and other things, they may not be able to do as well as Li Fei, and may even do better than them. However, Li Fei and others are Li Yongji's personal disciples. Loyalty to Cheng Dù is unmatched, so let them lead the troops.

Although Li Fei, Bai Yunfei, and Zhang Long all learned art together, led troops together, and all held the same positions, they were all leaders of a regiment, but perhaps because of personality factors, their command styles were also slightly different.

Like Bai Yunfei, the commander of the first regiment, he has a stable personality, so when he leads his troops to fight, he is stable and stable, and he always leaves three points of strength in battle. In any case, at least one battalion of troops will be retained as a reserve.

Zhang Long, the commander of the third regiment, is in a similar situation to Bai Yunfei, he is also very steady, and compared with Bai Yunfei's flexibility, he is a little dull and sluggish in command, and a little dogmatic, but Zhang Long also has a specialty, that is, he is very good at digging pits and trenches. Therefore, his third regiment's attack power may be average, but it is the strongest in defense, and it is very difficult for others to defeat Zhang Long.

As for Li Fei of the second regiment, his personality is out-of-the-box. He likes to take risks, and often presses the whole army and leaves no reserves, so his attack is the sharpest. But. He is not a brainless mess, he will also judge the situation and will not take risks lightly. And the ability to adapt to changes is stronger than Bai Yunfei, which has been reflected in previous exercises and battles.

Therefore, Li Fei is like a loach, very slippery, and it is also very difficult to defeat him, but once you don't pay attention, you will immediately bite you back.

In fact, among the four regiments of the Dream Division, except for the guard regiment, the other three regiments are not much different from each other due to their equipment and training, so it is very difficult for each other to defeat each other, and the so-called commander's command style does not have a great impact on the troops.

It's like two boxers of the same level, one is good at offense, one is good at defense, and the other is more balanced, if you want to separate the winner from the loser, it is definitely not an easy thing to do, and even if you win this time, you may lose next time, there is no absolute.

However, that refers to a peer confrontation, and if it is against an opponent of different magnitudes, such as those officers of the United States who are armed with front-loading smoothbore guns and use front-loading smoothbore guns, then there is no problem with anyone fighting.

Li Fei is in this situation now, he finally got a forward position through the method of guessing boxing, that is naturally to want to have a good appearance, plus there is a large army behind, so he has no scruples at all when he leads the troops to run, so he can rush to the vicinity of the Heihe Bridge so quickly.

Just when Grant discovered their troops, Li Fei also discovered the American military camp near the Heihe Bridge, and after that, while informing the rear of what he had discovered, he ordered the troops to speed up and go straight to the opponent's main camp.

At this moment, Grant's army had not completed the assembly because it was still encircling Vicksburg on all sides, so the Grant troops in front of Li Fei were actually the headquarters in the rear, with a total strength of only 10,000 people.

If the other two were replaced, like Bai Yunfei and Zhang Long, after they discovered the enemy's large army, it was estimated that they would stop and wait for the follow-up large army to come up before starting to fight, and this was also a combat method that Li Yongji emphasized before.

After all, the Dream Division is Li Yongji's heart, and any loss will make him feel distressed, so he will seek stability when he is commanding the battle.

However, Li Fei was different, he was bold and careful, and after finding that there were not many people in front of him, he decisively decided to fight first.

In this way, Li Fei led the troops to continue to rush forward until they were less than three kilometers away from the opponent before stopping slightly, but the purpose of his stop was only to set up an artillery position.

On the temporary position three kilometers away from the opponent, Li Fei left all the artillery and baggage troops, and then concentrated all the paratrooper assault vehicles, plus the only armored company to form an assault force.

After the arrangement, Li Fei ordered an artillery bombardment, and then under the cover of artillery fire, he directly led the assault troops to launch a charge, and came to an infantry and artillery coordination.

Because of the smooth radio communication system, their rifle guns play together quite well. And this trick infantry artillery coordinated combat method, although the four regiments can do it, it belongs to Li Fei's regiment to play the best.

At this moment, Grant's Chinese military command can be regarded as the first time to taste the taste of infantry and artillery coordination, and it is also the first time that this trick of infantry and artillery coordination has appeared on the real battlefield.

Li Fei is not like Li Yongji, he still calculates the consumption in the war, and he uses as much strength as he has, so his artillery bombardment is not only mortars and recoilless guns, but even the 120mm howitzers and 30mm machine guns that are matched with his armored company.

Under this ferocious artillery fire, the American troops were immediately blinded. They didn't dare to show their heads at all, let alone shoot back with artillery, and when the artillery fire had just passed and began to extend and shoot backwards, Li Fei's assault troops were killed.

The VN2 six-wheeled armored vehicles fired almost simultaneously with the 30mm guns and 7.62mm machine guns on these armored vehicles, of which the machine guns mainly took care of the opponent's artillery positions, and the machine guns began to sweep the infantry in front, plus the accompanying light assault vehicle troops, it can be said that it was like entering a no-man's land. The other side will not be able to form any effective interception at all.

In this way, accompanied by artillery bombardment, armored company assault and assault vehicle troops, it was just a charge, and Li Fei scuttled through Grant's headquarters, which completely confused this American army and completely lost its ability to form and resist.

After that, finding that the other party was completely chaotic and had broken through to the center of the other party's camp, Li Fei ordered everyone to disperse. In a two-vehicle formation, they began to disperse and intercept the US officers and soldiers who had fled like headless flies.

As for Li Fei himself, who was riding in the armored car, he continued to lead the armored company to assault forward, and the target was the place that he had been optimistic about before.

Li Fei was lucky. When he burst into what resembled the headquarters, he was met with fierce resistance, and even the armored vehicle that hit him with a direct artillery shot was hit.

This fierce resistance not only did not make Li Fei angry. On the contrary, he was excited, thinking that he had really caught a big fish, otherwise everyone else would be busy running away. They still have time to resist themselves.

As a result, Li Fei personally manipulated the 30-millimeter cannon on the armored vehicle and fired a fierce close-range shot at the opposite side 50 meters away.

Next, when it was found that the resistance was gone, Li Fei sent three armored vehicles, plus six armored assault vehicles, to the house, the infantry began to get out of the car, under the close attention of the armored car gunners, a group of five, cautiously groped forward, as for Li Fei and the commander of the armored company, Hao Yonghui, continued to wait for the results fifty meters away.

Soon, in less than five minutes, the results came out, because Li Feitong Guò telescope clearly found that his soldiers escorted a string of officers out, one of whom was obviously dressed differently, as if he was dressed not much different from the Sherman, who was not to be killed, or even a little more luxurious.

At this moment, Li Fei immediately realized that he seemed to have really caught a big fish, and his good luck was coming.

"Oh, congratulations to the head of the group, congratulations to the head of the group!" Hao Yonghui, who also stretched out his head, also held a telescope to observe, and also saw this scene, immediately patted his ass, "Looking at the clothes of that group, the identity must not be simple, the head of the regiment caught so many people this time, the credit is not small." ”

"Hmph, I still need to say it." Li Fei, who smiled slightly, put down the binoculars, "Let's go, let's go and see who has been arrested." ”

"Something else, Captain." Seeing that Li Fei was about to get out of the car, Hao Yonghui immediately stopped the other party, "Although our army is now overwhelmed, after all, the situation is unknown, and there may be any danger nearby, the regiment commander should still personally sit here to command, as for the confirmed matter, let the humble post do it for you, what do you think?" ”

"Well, that's fine." Li Fei nodded, "Then you can go and see who has been arrested for me." ”

"Yes!" Hao Yonghui saluted, then picked up a Type 97 assault rifle and got out of the car to confirm it in person.

Or to ask, don't you have a strong ability to communicate? Since the soldiers in front have captured the prisoners, why not ask them by radio?

The reason is very simple, limited by the cost factor, the Dream Division has not been able to make every soldier equipped with walkie-talkies, so far, can be so luxurious, only the Guards armored battalion and special forces can each be equipped with walkie-talkies, to achieve the ability of every soldier to communicate.

For ordinary regiments like Li Fei and others, walkie-talkies are at most equipped with a five-person combat team, so walkie-talkies are all on assault vehicles to achieve communication between vehicles.

Under normal circumstances, this configuration is sufficient, after all, the basic combat unit of this motorized infantry division run by Li Yongji was originally a combat group dominated by an assault vehicle.

Five people in an assault vehicle happens to be an attack unit, and when combined with another assault vehicle, it can be combined into a two-vehicle formation or a three-vehicle formation, which can just complement each other. There won't be any problems at all.

But the problem is that these soldiers are now in a state of getting out of the car and walking, and they don't have walkie-talkies on them, so if you want to ask about the situation on the other side, you have to wait for them to escort someone over, or send someone to ask about the situation.

In fact, Hao Yonghui didn't get out of the car, and with the situation of those escorting infantry, it was estimated that he was also coming to his side, so he just had to wait patiently. can know the result, but Li Fei is a little anxious to know the result, and Hao Yonghui is a sycophant, so this situation has been made.

Soon, Hao Yonghui, who got out of the car, ran forward, and a distance of fifty meters was not a problem for him.

But unfortunately, when he rushed to those people and asked about the prisoners, the squad leader who escorted the prisoners shook his head again and again. He didn't know, he only knew that these people seemed to be high-ranking officers.

It turned out that after these dismounted infantry cautiously attacked it, they found that there were still people in the house. But when everyone saw them, they all stood there and raised their hands high, without the slightest sign of resistance.

Despite this, these infantry were all personally trained by Li Yongji in accordance with the modern infantry drill code, so although they felt that the other party was no longer in danger. Still cautiously pointed the gun at the other party, and then shouted an order for the other party to lie on the ground with his hands raised.

At this time, a problem arises, that is, these infantry speak Chinese. But the white officers obviously couldn't understand Chinese, and the infantry couldn't speak English.

Although the Dream Division's troops were trained in the Red Fort in Hollywood, and it is said that they can also come into contact with many foreigners in the Red Fort, the problem is that the Dream Division is trained in a closed state, and they have no chance to contact foreigners at all, so except for a few people, most of them do not know English.

As a result, the Chinese infantry and those who surrendered shouted at each other for a long time, but neither of them could understand what the other was saying, and finally the Chinese soldiers got impatient, half of them continued to point guns at each other, and the other half took plastic seals, forcibly tied them all in the backhand, and then forcibly escorted them out.

At that time, the squad leader still thought that he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, but there were always people above who could understand it, and if nothing else, looking at the clothes they were wearing, they behaved, they were obviously different from the ordinary soldiers outside, they were definitely officers, and this trip was a great merit, in case a senior officer was caught, the military merit value was indispensable.

Originally, after seeing Hao Yonghui, the squad leader was quite happy, and felt that a senior boss had finally arrived, after all, although Hao Yonghui was only a company commander, he was the company commander of the armored company, belonged to the tall troops, and was very famous in the regiment headquarters, so in the eyes of the squad leader, Hao Yonghui would definitely be English.

It's a pity that Hao Yonghui can speak English, but he only knows some of the fur, such as hello, good morning, my name is Hao Yonghui, etc., if you want to communicate with the other party smoothly, it is really difficult.

seems to know his English level, so Hao Yonghui doesn't say that he knows English at all, and he doesn't play any communication, but carefully observes these people.

Unlike the squad leader and those soldiers, Hao Yonghui is an armored unit, and he used to be directly subordinate to Li Yongji, and he belongs to the pro-army, so he has seen and heard a lot, at least he knows the establishment and clothing of the US army.

According to Hao Yonghui's observation, there is no doubt that these people are officers, because they are all wearing officer uniforms, and the half-grown old man with a cold face at the beginning, although the clothes on his body are similar to them, but the epaulettes are different, it seems to be ...... Well, Major General!

Hao Yonghui understands that the military rank system of the United States of America is slightly similar to that of the Imperial Chinese Army, and his concerns are different.

Among them, the lowest rank of general officers in the United States of America is brigadier general, such as the dead Sherman, who is a brigadier general, and a brigadier general, usually a military commander, will command the troops of an army.

Above the brigadier general, he is a major general, and a major general has great power, and he is generally the commander in command of a front army, and he is a real big man.

For now, the main opponent of the Dream Division, that is, the Grant Legion, seems to have the highest rank of major general, so in the Grant Legion, there is only one major general, and that is General Grant.

Now, this guy has the epaulettes of a major general on his body, could it be that he is General Grant? That's really catching a big fish!

Thinking of this, Hao Yonghui didn't care about others, and directly ordered a few soldiers and pressed the "major general" to see Li Fei.

Although Li Fei doesn't know much English, as the head of the regiment, he has an interpreter by his side, so the language barrier is not a problem for Li Fei.

Sure enough, when the interpreter in his early thirties asked the "major general" in detail, he immediately hugged his fist to Li Fei in surprise: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!" This man is none other than the commander-in-chief of the American Legion who is against us, General Grant! ”

"Is it really him?" Li Fei asked in surprise, "Is it really that General Grant?" Won't be mistaken? ”

"It's him, it's really him! Make no mistake, he's that Grant! The translator nodded repeatedly, "He said his identity and full name in person, and with his clothes, there should be no fake." And, and he just said it, he has surrendered to you, hoping to get what you deserve. If you promise them the dignity and treatment they deserve, then he will personally give orders to the troops who are still besieging the city in other directions to surrender to you...... My lord, we're lucky to have caught a big guy this time! (To be continued......)
