The Wehrmacht has rich experience in plain operations, mountain operations, ice and snow operations, and cavalry combat experience, but it has very little experience in fighting in the hot and humid tropical rainforest areas where mosquitoes and flies breed.

Lan Fang's troops and warfare have always been the source of material for many military schools of the Wehrmacht on regional operations in the tropical rainforest. But Lanfang's wars were mostly small-scale conflict warfare and guerrilla warfare, and there were not many large-scale rainforest battles.

Therefore, when the Taiping Army started this battle, a field observation group led by the vice principal of the Nanjing Army Military Academy had already arrived in Chiang Mai. The vice principal of this team leader is Shi Dakai's old acquaintance - Guo Songlin. The fierce general of the Hunan army back then almost died in the hands of the Qin army more than ten years ago, but now he still has to obediently give Liu Xian his life.

Guo Songlin himself does not often go to the front line to watch the battle, and the work is done by the young officers he brought. When people are old, they are also peaceful and comfortable. Guo Songlin has lived a peaceful life over the years, and he has already lost the fierceness of more than ten years ago. Or rather, he himself voluntarily abandoned the bravery for which he became famous. The situation no longer allowed him to stumble.

So he went from the earliest senior general class, to the cold bench of the Ministry of National Defense, to the temporary post of the General Staff, and finally came to Nanjing. In five years, he became the largest person in the leadership team of the military academy. Never complained!

In the middle of the night, Guo Songlin sighed to himself more than once, it should be his honest phenol that can hold a little real power again when he is old. Like Ye Zhichao and Pan Dingxin, they are not appointed and are not honest. Ten years ago, they were ordinary people who were slaughtered by others.

By the time the war began today, the IDF field observer mission was already in a good position. The members who appeared on the front line held high-powered binoculars one by one and carefully looked at the battlefield.

Although today's battle is not an important aspect for their group to consider. The Taiping Army's many precautions and preparations during the Siam battle were the focus of their records. But isn't there a British on the other side of the Taiping Army today? Now that conditions permit, the young officers of the Field Observation Corps still want to see with their own eyes the fighting strength of the British.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Taiping Army really rushed into the position in the rain of bullets, the guns and bullets fired at a distance of more than ten or twenty meters simply reminded these young officers of the era of platoon shooting in military history!

Very brave, very courageous! It's brutal, it's a man!

"Good! The Taiping army was indeed brave. High morale and high morale! ”

"The true color has not changed for twenty years. The Wing King is really a famous general and regulates the army. Well deserved the name! ”

The Wehrmacht has always been full of courage. It is one of the centers of gravity of military training. These officers were instilled and raised by such thoughts, and they were naturally satisfied and appreciated by the Taiping Army who were brave and fearless of death on the battlefield.

"The British are not bad either."

The soldiers of the Taiping Army rushed into the British position with bayonets, and the British troops were not crushed at once, but immediately launched a counterattack with rifles with bayonets loaded. The fighting on both sides was extremely fierce, and the three or four hundred Taiping troops who attacked the position were all wiped out, and the British position was also thrown into chaos. If it weren't for the fact that the British bombarded the rear of the Taiping Army with shells like crazy, interrupting the follow-up of the Taiping Army's follow-up troops, these bullish British were afraid that they would not be able to survive this offensive and defensive battle. It will be crushed by the Taiping army!

"Not necessarily British. The mercenaries of the Gurkha are more elite. One of the young officers retorted shortly after the other's words fell.

"It's a pity that we can't go to the British territory to have a look......" An older major officer in the queue quickly interjected and tilted the building out.

"If you don't really fight with the British, you only look at it with a pair of eyes, and you can't see the real thing." The building continues to crooked.

A possible controversy is thus erased.

On the positions of the Taiping army. Chen Rong slapped his thigh angrily. When he saw that the first wave of attacks had succeeded, he immediately ordered the follow-up troops to follow up on the breach. And the troops on both flanks increased the pressure on the British front, trying to create more breakthroughs. It seems that only the follow-up troops need to follow up. This first attack can be brilliant. The British actually made a big move like this.

'The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road' is true, but flesh and blood can't go head-to-head with cannonballs! So. Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!

However, with the results of the first attack as a foundation, Chen Rong was not afraid of the British army opposite. Combat effectiveness is also such a thing!

At this time, the headquarters of the Taiping Army on the bank of the riverside is here. Shi Dakai was also secretly regretting the opportunity lost in the first wave of the offensive, and Guo Songlin got up in the rumbling cannon.

As a head of the regiment who is not very much of a director, Guo Songlin has been living a very comfortable life recently. Even if you don't count the money and count the cramps in your hands, you can sleep until you wake up naturally. Washing his face and brushing his teeth, Guo Songlin listened to the attendant's report on the news from the front line while eating a hearty breakfast. Then wipe your mouth and go to Shi Da to chat.

Don't look at Shi Dakai's people in the headquarters, in fact, this war is more of a younger generation of people fighting. Under Shi Dakai's headquarters, there is also a front-line headquarters in charge of Shi Dingzhong, the young wing king, which is the center of this battle of Nakhon Sawan.

Guo Songlin didn't communicate much with the younger generation of the Taiping Army, and there was nothing to speculate about, he was more chattering with Shi Dakai and Chen Decai, and as for things, so many of the officers of the observation group he brought were not vegetarians. These people are all rising stars in the national defense forces, and even if they do not develop in the army in the future, they will definitely have the number one leader in military theoretical research.

So, in their place, it's the young people who talk about the young, and the old people talk about the old. Shi Dakai is also very willing to chat with Guo Songlin, because he can always find some 'things' from Guo Songlin's words that he hasn't seen before!

For example, the changes in the treatment of national defense cadets over the years, and some things about future generations in Guo Songlin's words. For example, some new things that his son encountered while working, such as the schooling of his grandchildren, such as the wages of the servants and maids at home, the protection of national laws, and so on. It's not something that can be fully understood by newspapers alone.

Shi Dakai can see a little bit of stability in the foundation of Xinqin, a little change in Xinqin's society, and then compare his own affairs, and feel particularly deeply!

Conversations, like friendships, are always from shallow to deep. It is a taboo in ancient times!

Shi Dakai's conversation with Guo Songlin also deepened little by little. And when he spoke, there were fewer and fewer people around. After all, the more people there are, the more high-sounding they are, and when there are fewer people, they will go straight to the core.

Today, Shi Dakai and Guo Songlin first looked at the map and compared, and the morning passed. Then at noon, there is no need for people to serve on the side, there are only three people on a table of meals - Shi Dakai, Guo Songlin and one Lai Wenguang.

This is also the old man, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who was all the rage back then, and a famous general in the world!

The three of them are all old oilers, and after a few words, the atmosphere on the wine table is harmonious. And when people are old, they miss the old. Whether it's an old buddy back then or an old rival, there is a sense of closeness from the heart when we meet. Otherwise, Shi Dakai and Guo Songlin have only been around for less than a month, and their friendship will not progress to this point.

So at this banquet, Shi Dakai asked Guo Songlin about a more sensitive topic - how does China feel about them?

Shi Dakai has always been worried about this problem. Because the Taiping Army is too weak and weak compared to the Wehrmacht. Liu Xian only needs a finger deep to crush the Taiping army. Because so far Shi Dakai has not been able to build a steel mill, although there is an arsenal, but all the materials come from the mainland. This feeling of being tied to human hands is so wonderful!

Shi Dakai's heartfelt words made Guo Songlin laugh, "His Royal Highness the Wing King is too worried." Don't say anything else, just look at the past of Ren Huabang and others, the status of your army is solid! ”

Lai Wenguang shook his head after stopping, "Brother Guo laughed. After all, King Lu [Ren Huabang] is a twist army, not my Taiping army. After leading the army south and falling under the command of His Royal Highness King Yiwang, it was also somewhat filthy. When it really comes time to raise a sword, it's useless. "Because I know that the relationship is average, the Taiping Army has almost no contact with those who went north to Ren Huabang over the years.

Guo Songlin has very little contact with these things, he is honest. Moreover, Guo Songlin is from the Hunan Army, and no matter how loud Xianghuai is, there are differences. I really don't know much about Ren Huabang and others, but I just watched Ren Huabang be a major general and brigade commander as soon as he joined the National Defense Army, and now he is the deputy commander of the Mongolian Military Region, the lieutenant general and the commander of the cavalry division, and the scenery is dazzling. Naturally, I thought it was good.

If it is inferred according to common sense that the emperor attaches so much importance to Ren Huabang and pays him a heavy responsibility, then of course he is relieved for the Taiping Army.

But now after listening to Shi Dakai and Lai Wenguang's words, Guo Songlin also thought deeper in his heart.

He didn't have any secret channels to get secret news, he only thought of domestic public opinion, and thought of "Huaxia Daily" and internal magazines.

"The Taiping Army is not mentioned much in the country. In the past, when you were fighting with Siam, you could still see about you on the front pages of newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao, but after the battle of Chiang Mai, the attention of the national media continued to decline. The war of two years ago was hardly mentioned, except for a few newspapers in the three southwestern provinces. ”

"Even in this war, the focus of public opinion newspapers is more on the confrontation between China and Britain, and what international changes may be caused by the Siam War."

"It's not good to say it, you are not so valued by the emperor. For example, in the battle of Nakhon Sawan this time, I don't think there will be a few newspapers that put you on the front page, except for the newspaper industry in the southwest. ”

"Don't look at how fierce you are fighting in Siam, and you have used all your strength, it means a lot to you. But in terms of the attention of Chinese public opinion, it may not be able to rank in the top three. (To be continued......)
