Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 23 The 5th Brigade
Li Shuanggun and more than 100 Sichuan army defeated troops settled in Panshi Valley, Xu Shijiu gave the number of the 4th brigade, and Li Shuanggun was naturally the captain of the team.
With more than 100 battle-hardened veterans of the 4th Brigade, Xu Shijiu was thinking about making some moves.
Not only to make a move to announce the existence of the national army, but also to obtain material supplies, to put it bluntly, it is also a huge burden to support the small two hundred people, although Qinglongzhai still has some food, and also took out part of it to Panshi Valley, but this little food can't last too long, Xu Shijiu has to find a way to solve it himself.
That night, Xu Shijiu was studying the map of Longkou County with an oil lamp, thinking about how to fight this first battle, Gao Shenxing suddenly walked in with his modified rifle, and sat opposite Xu Shijiu again.
Xu Shijiu didn't raise his head and asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to go hunting with Li Mu?" ”
Gao Shenxing and Li Mu often go out hunting at night, one to get some game to improve a meal, and the other can also take the opportunity to train Li Mu, it is under Gao Shenxing's almost cruel training that Li Mu's skills have gradually become stronger, although it is not as good as Gao Shenxing, but it is not much closer.
"Lao Xu, I don't want to." As soon as Gao Shenxing opened his mouth, Xu was startled.
"What do you say?" Xu Jiu Huo Ran raised his head, and his gaze at Gao Shenxing suddenly became cold.
Then Xu Shijiu's eyes softened, and he said gloomily: "You also want to go to the Communist Party?" ”
Gao Shenxing realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly explained: "I'm not leaving, I mean, I don't want to be the captain of the 3rd brigade anymore, let's let Monk Hua be the captain of this brigade, he is more suitable than me, as for me, I want to select a group of people from each brigade and train them to conduct special operations." ”
"Why did you suddenly remember this?" Xu Shijiu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't leave.
Gao Shenxing said: "I think this has actually been a long time, but the time was not ripe before, because on the frontal battlefield, the role of special forces is not much stronger than that of combat troops, and the difficulty and cost of training are much greater, so it is not suitable, but now that we have gone deep behind enemy lines, special forces have a place to use." ”
"A small army of a few people, I'm afraid it's difficult, what's the use, right?" Although Xu 19 has also dabbled in Western military writings, he knows very little about modern special operations, let alone know that the role of special forces is even at the strategic level, and sometimes a small attack by special forces is enough to change the balance of victory in a big war.
"Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, I just want to try it anyway." Although Gao Shenxing had systematically studied special tactics with Jiang Baili, he did not know much about the strategic role of special operations, and Gao Shenxing only vaguely felt that the formation of special forces in the battlefield behind enemy lines should be able to make great achievements.
"You've really figured it out?" Xu 19 asked.
"Well, I've figured it out." Gao Shenxing nodded.
"Okay, you pick it yourself, you can mention what equipment you want, only if you have it now, you will give it immediately, and if you don't have it, I will find a way immediately, I will give you three months of training time, is it enough?" Seeing that Gao Shenxing had already made a decision, Xu Shijiu didn't say much nonsense, no matter what, it was always good for the nineteenth detachment to have a few more strong soldiers like Li Mu.
Gao Shenxing said: "You don't have to worry about the equipment, I will find a way for this little thing."
Xu Shijiu said: "And then there is the number, what number do you want?" The size is a combat unit, so it naturally has to have a number, and at that moment Xu Shijiu said again: "How about the 5th brigade?" ”
Gao Shen said: "How many people are in the brigade? Or the first one."
"The little family is a little angry, there are only a few people now, it doesn't mean that there will be only a few people in the future, if it turns out that the special operation is really effective, I don't mind if you train the entire nineteen detachments to become special forces." Xu Jiu waved his hand and said indisputably, "That's it, the 5th brigade." ”
"Okay, then the 5th Brigade." Gao Shenxing nodded, and wanted to turn around and leave, but Xu Shijiu stopped him.
"Boss Gao, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'm looking for you too." Xu Shijiu pushed over the map he had just seen, and Gao Shenxing looked at it, only to see that it was densely marked, all of which were the intelligence of the Japanese puppet army, but these markers were all concentrated in a narrow strip, which was also the route of the march they infiltrated into Longkou County at the beginning.
Aside from this route, the surrounding area is blank and there are no markings on it.
Gao Shenxing looked down at the map, but Xu Shijiu said thoughtlessly: "I want to go to Longkou County." ”
"Do you want to fight Longkou County?" Gao Shenxing Huo Ran raised his head and looked at Xu Shijiu in surprise, "I'm afraid it's not good, right?" ”
Last time in Panshi Valley, a guy wiped out two infantry squads of Little Japan, it was a coincidence, firstly, Little Japan was not familiar with the terrain of Erlong Mountain, and secondly, Little Japan divided its troops, and the most important thing is that Little Japan is obviously underestimating the enemy, and I didn't know in advance that there were eight elite veterans like Xu Shijiu, and I suffered a big loss when I was caught off guard.
If it goes head-to-head, the eight veterans and the bandits of Qinglongzhai are absolutely not enough to turn over two squads, but to turn over one infantry squad, this is still an ambush in the mountains, if you go to Longkou County to fight a tough battle, it will be even more insufficient, even if there are Li Shuanggun and more than 100 veterans.
To put it bluntly, this is not a problem that can be solved by a single soldier, this has to rely on strong firepower, without strong firepower, you will train the hundreds of bandits of the 19th detachment to be like Gao Shenxing, and you will still not be able to take the county seat.
"Where do you want to go, how can I want to fight the county seat." Xu Shijiu shook his head, "It's just to go and talk." ”
Xu Shijiu pointed to the map again and said: "We know very little about Longkou County, how many local armed forces are there in each township and town? How many guns are there in each unit? In particular, we don't know anything about the Japanese army in the county, which is not conducive to future development, so I want to go to the county seat first to explore the bottom of Little Japan. ”
In ancient times, it was the army that did not move, and the grain and grass went first, but now it is that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the intelligence comes first
For example, before launching a full-scale war of aggression against China, little Japan had even secretly carried out intelligence gathering against China for nearly half a century, and some young staff officers even drew detailed maps of North and East China through "travel."
Therefore, after the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war, the progress of small Japan will be like a bamboo, and even the terrain of the water network in the Songhu area, on which the German adviser Falkenhausen had high hopes, has not been able to play the slightest role in delaying small Japan, because small Japan has long made careful preparations for this characteristic of East China.
In the future, if the 19th Detachment wants to gain a foothold in Erlongshan and persist in the War of Resistance in Longkou County, it must have a good idea of the various local armed forces in the surrounding areas, especially to find out the details of the small Japanese garrison in Longkou County, and then it can formulate a targeted plan for future development and operations.
Gao Shenxing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Leave this matter to me, I'll go with Li Mu." ”
Xu Shijiu nodded, he was very relieved to hand over this matter to Gao Shenxing, even if his identity was exposed, he was not afraid, Longkou County said that it was not big, but it was not small, and it was easy to find a hiding place with Gao Shenxing's ability, and it was really not so easy for Xiao Japan to leave Gao Shenxing and Li Mu.
However, Xu Jiujiu still advised: "Pay attention to safety." ”
Gao Shenxing smiled and said, "Didn't you often say before, isn't the little Japan that can kill you still alive?" I'm also giving you this today, the little Japan that can kill me is also not born yet. ”
Out of the detachment headquarters, Gao Shenxing found Li Mu and set off overnight.
The two of them traveled more than 100 miles in a hurry, rushed to the east gate of Longkou County before dawn the next day, took a break in a budding rice field outside the city gate and ate some grain, the sky was completely bright, and there were more pedestrians on the main road, all of whom were pushing all kinds of sparse vegetables or carrying firewood into the city to catch the morning market.
Gao Shenxing spent a piece of ocean to buy two picks of firewood, changed clothes with two mountain people, and then hid the box in the firewood, and then swaggered towards the city gate with Li Mu carrying the firewood.
