Chapter 227: Reconnaissance Company VS Infantry Regiment
(PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket encouragement of the book friend 'Xiaoyu', and ask for a few recommendations and support!) Thank you very much! )
Knowing that Situ Baili led troops to receive the southwest, Tie Yuzhu knew that Situ Baili knew about him. If he wants to gain an advantage in the things he negotiates, he simply can't do it. As a result, the subsequent negotiations also confirmed this judgment, and his dream of pushing his son to the throne was shattered. However, he was a little surprised that Xu Bin also appointed him as the commander of the Southwest Army.
Although his son did not become the commander of the reorganized Ninth Army as he wished, he became a major general and division commander of a mountain division directly under the command of the East China Army. After all, his son was indeed too young to be mentioned as a military commander. How can the other veteran commanders of the East China Army be embarrassed?
Let him continue to serve as the commander of the army, but his son has become the commander of a direct mountain division, which is undoubtedly the greatest reward for their surrender. It's just that for the current nearly 200,000 troops of the Southwest Army, it should be reduced to more than 100,000. Tie Yuzhu was undoubtedly a little reluctant, but when he heard that the division brought by Situ Baili was not specially selected.
But the East China Army, the main division of each army at present, has this kind of combat effectiveness. He knew that the era of fighting by relying on more people was over. I am afraid that what the East China Army has taken is precisely the line of streamlining the administration and strengthening the country. And he asked himself, if the main force of the East China Army, every main division has this kind of combat effectiveness. Then his nearly 200,000 troops are really not the opponent of an army.
Compared to Tie Yuzhu, who felt that he had fewer troops under his control, Tie Berlin was undoubtedly very interested in Xu Bin's desire for him to train an elite mountain force that could attack and defend. Especially when he heard that Situ Baili also brought Xu Bin this time to train the Mountain Eagle Special Forces specializing in mountain operations, and the mountain reconnaissance company composed of eliminated members.
This reconnaissance company, when engaged in mountain warfare, was able to fight against an ordinary main regiment without losing. On the spot, he said that he wanted to see the actual ability of this instructor company of his mountain division. As for the troops he sent to participate in the exercise, they were an elite regiment of infantry in their hands.
After selecting a place for the exercise, the mountain reconnaissance company was the main defender, and the infantry regiment of Tieberlin was the main attacker. The prerequisite was to give the reconnaissance company half an hour to prepare.
As this kind of exercise in which the two armies competed with each other, this scout, which was composed of eliminated special reserves, entered the mountains and forests. As soon as the half-hour time came, Tie Berlin sent out the infantry regiment. You must know that this infantry regiment is also relatively top-notch in the combat sequence of his first division.
As a result, the infantry regiment entered the mountains and forests after the exercises. Not only at the time of ten minutes, but one of the main battalions was forced to withdraw from the exercise. The reason is very simple, that is, they did not touch any people from the reconnaissance company. was given a variety of traps planted half an hour in advance, and he was announced dead and withdrawn from the exercise.
Looking at his subordinates who walked out of the forest with a depressed face, Tie Berlin was also very curious. These can also be described as the Southwest Army that has been fighting in the mountains all year round. Why do you suffer so much in the mountains and forests? The reason is simple, it is a trap laid by the reconnaissance company. It's not at all what they can find out.
The grenades that those reconnaissance companies carried with them. Mines can be said to be hanging everywhere, which makes the infantry regiment walking into the mountains frightening. Whether they do a carpet search or use a group search method, the end result is to step on a trap and be declared dead by observers.
With zuihou for half an hour, a gunshot finally rang out. But the infantry regiment could not see people only by the sound of gunfire. It was like entering a jungle of souls, and one by one the soldiers were declared dead and quit the exercise. It wasn't until the entire infantry regiment was left with a few frightened officers and soldiers that they found out that they had been captured.
I think it's very incredible. Accompanied Situ Baili into the exercise area and found that Situ Baili clapped his hands. Some of them seemed to him to be like people hiding in dead leaves, under grass, in rotten ditches, or in big trees. Almost everywhere you go, you can see these scouts dressed in disguise.
When they saw that the small shovel they carried with them could dig out three individual stealth pits that were convenient for them to conceal and change their guards in just half an hour. Tie Berlin also felt that the only way to deal with such a force in the jungle was to directly cover the entire forest with artillery. Otherwise, we can only use the tactics of crowd pushing.
Such a strange combat mode undoubtedly made Tie Berlin, who saw it for the first time, not angry. When Situ Baili brought the reconnaissance company commander to him, he said very directly. They are all reserve players who have been eliminated from the competition, the real official Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team, if they appear here. Perhaps their means of warfare will be even higher than theirs.
With regard to this brand-new mode of mountain and forest operations, the commander of the reconnaissance company also said when he came that as long as Tie Berlin had selected the officers and men who would form the mountain division. You can go to the governor's palace of Gannan Province and ask their commander Xu Bin. Because, at present, several special forces under the rule of the East China Army are all trained by this governor.
Tie Berlin, who has always felt that Xu Bin is at most a skilled man, heard that this kind of miraculous special operations techniques were all taught by Xu Bin. Only then did I really understand that compared to this handsome man who is younger than him, the results he has are really not called any achievements!
As the entire infantry regiment was declared dead, not a single soldier of the reconnaissance company was lost. It sounds a little incredible, but to go into this kind of jungle without artillery. It is also very normal to run into a reconnaissance company that has also received special operations. If these people know that even if the real Mountain Eagle Special Combat Team doesn't have a gun in their hands, any plant in the mountains can be used as a killing weapon, I'm afraid these Southwest Army will be even more shocked!
With this exercise, there is no doubt that the matter of reorganizing the Southwest Army is proceeding smoothly. Regarding Tie Yuzhu's request that troops could be sent to participate in the Battle of Caiyun, Situ Baili said that he didn't need it at all. Because, when he arrived in the southwest to formally form the headquarters, Wang Zhongzheng commanded the two main divisions.
It has crossed the border between Guixi and Caiyun, and directly blocked the passage of Caiyun's army's retreat to Damandao. As for the war to besiege Kuncheng, the capital of Caiyun, there was the Fourth Army under the command of Bai Diantang, which could be described as a matter of capture.
When Governor Caiyun finally committed suicide in the Governor's Mansion by swallowing a gun, the flag of the Fourth Army was also planted on the tower of the Governor's Mansion in Kuncheng. In the face of this kind of war that was a foregone conclusion, the remaining officers and soldiers of Caiyun who were still resisting also simply chose to surrender to accept the reorganization. In this regard, Bai Diantang, who had experience in reorganizing the Donghu Army, also temporarily grasped the military and political affairs and began to stabilize Caiyun's military and political affairs.
After handing over the position with Wang Zhongzheng of the revolutionary army, Wang Zhongzheng, who personally led the army to attack Caiyun. It is also understood from this battle that weapons are important to an army. There are several weapons that have been attached to their army, which can be said to have never been seen before, and they can be said to have exerted their invincible ability in this battle.
Even if the other party has a strong fortress, after being exposed by these weapons, it will also be pushed sideways. Compared with them before, the capture of this kind of fortress is completely dependent on fate, and they have a sharp weapon to attack the fortification. In each seizure of positions, there is no doubt that many advantages are taken. Especially with the artillery regiments in place, those heavy howitzers once they are used for cluster shelling.
All they had to do was rush to the ground and take prisoners, not even other so-called targeted killings. Fighting such a battle is undoubtedly perhaps Wang Zhongzheng understands. Their revolutionary army chose to merge into the Xu family's army, what a wise choice!
Wang Zhongzheng, who took over the Caiyun border in advance this time, also thought about attacking the Eagle French coalition army on the opposite side. However, he knew very well that the main combat task of the East China Army at present was to unify the south, and then attack the entire Longhua State. At present, these Eagle French coalition forces that have occupied Daman Road believe that sooner or later there will be a chance to clean up.
In fact, when Xu Bin marched into Caiyun Road this time, the consuls of Eagle and France also expressed the hope that Xu Bin could stop military interference in Caiyun's internal affairs. As a result, Xu Bin directly said, "This is Longhua's internal affairs, please don't interfere", and he was speechless.
Compared to the Eagle Nation government, I don't want to make the relationship too stiff with this partner who is still in the honeymoon period. chose to sit on the sidelines as long as they did not encroach on their interests in Dammam, and the consul of the French Associated States, who also had a lot of interests in Dammam, said that he would definitely find an opportunity to retaliate.
In this regard, Xu Bin said that as long as the French coalition army can step into Caiyun, he does not mind leading the army to directly sweep the French coalition army's military liliang in Dammam. What's more, Xu Bin also said that as long as he agrees to let the Eagle Country Government enjoy the interests of Dammam exclusively, I believe that the Eagle Country Government will not protest and will support Xu Bin's military action.
After some military and political threats, the consul of the French Union finally broke up with Xu Bin. However, just as they sent an observation team to the Caiyun border to watch the fighting. When they looked at the Seventh Army led by Wang Zhongzheng, which almost swept away the combat effectiveness of the Caiyun Army, they finally understood that it was not in their colonial interests to fight the East China Army.
It's a pity that the rift has already been created, and it is unlikely to be repaired. With the discovery of a large number of weapons and ammunition funded by the French Coalition in the Governor's Palace in Caiyun Road, Xu Bin also made it clear. He did not like to cooperate with countries that undermined Longhua's stability and interfered in Longhua's internal affairs, and immediately canceled the commercial interests of many French businessmen in Longhua.
The French United States, which originally enjoyed tax incentives at the same time as Eagle and Rice, were canceled because of this incident. Undoubtedly, foreigners doing business in southern Longhua saw Xu Bin's strength, and also understood that Xu Bin, who had become the military overlord of southern Longhua. It's no longer something they can handle.
It's just that for these ill-intentioned foreigners, Xu Bin gave a lot of benefits to other countries after canceling the preferential treatment of the French Union. So much so that foreigners, who knew that they were short-handed, no one paid attention to the proposal of the French Union to join hands to boycott the East China Army.
After all, compared to the loss of the French Union alone, they can take a lot of advantage in this political game. Why do you want to do what sinners do? (To be continued......)
