Chapter 194: The King of Soldiers

After returning to the camp, Liu Zhi asked Fang Shaochuan to lead the Second Dragon Barracks to organize manpower and build barracks, and more than 100 awakened people and Indian laborers in the camp were recruited, cleaning up the collapsed houses, laying foundations, and carrying sediment, and they were very busy.

These barracks were built for ordinary people, and the expeditionary force brought enough tents to camp in the open space.

That night, in an empty earthen house, Liu Zhi convened a meeting of all the officers above the company level, Duan Qi pointed to a newly drawn map of the distribution of forces, and said to everyone: "Everyone, the five camps of the half-werewolves are closely connected, with four rings and one, they are distributed like five cylinders in mahjong, so we can't attack, the strength of the half-werewolves is at least more than three thousand, if we are surrounded, we will inevitably fall into a bitter battle, the best way is to lure them out and eliminate them in one fell swoop in the wild." ”

Fang Shaochuan twisted his eyebrows and said: "I agree, the only problem is that we don't have enough troops, even if we go to lead, the half-werewolves will not necessarily send all the troops, they should have fought with the army in the fortress many times, it is likely that they have formed a fixed idea that humans are weak, maybe they will think that defeating us is a very simple matter, and a few hundred people can easily do it." ”

Long Zhen was puzzled: "This is a good thing, if they only send such a few people out, let's break them one by one." ”

Duan Qi shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "It's not that simple, although the half-werewolves are fierce, they are not stupid, if they find that our combat power is too strong, there is a chance that they will rely on the village to defend it, in that case, our field advantage will not be able to be brought into play, the power of the six-sided crossbow is limited after all, if they have cover, it will be difficult to cause large-scale killing, and they can only let the soldiers launch a strong attack!" ”

Fang Shaochuan added: "In addition, there are still a lot of old and weak people in the half-werewolf tribe, and their combat power should not be underestimated, if there are a few more powerful demon beasts like Beamon, our losses will be incalculable." ”

Long Zhen realized, and at this time, a tall young man next to him said: "Everyone, I have an idea, you don't think it's feasible." He pointed to the place where the word fortress was drawn on the map: "We can lead the half-werewolf scouts to the fortress, I have read the information brought back by the cavalry team, the range of activities of the half-werewolf scouts is not large, and there are no more people in the direction of the fortress, so I suspect that they may not know the existence of the fortress, if this idea is true, after they find the fortress, they are likely to pour out of the nest to attack the fortress, and when the time comes, we will directly copy their back road, and we will be able to win a big victory." ”

This tall young man's name is Er Xiaoguang, currently serving as the commander of the third battalion and the fourth company, he crossed over with several comrades-in-arms, and was the company commander of a field army in China, this person is extremely courageous, and his individual combat ability is extremely outstanding, and he has invaded the Tibetan border in India for several years, and four field armies have been urgently transferred in the country, and the chief of the general staff, the army commander, and more than a dozen generals have arrived together to form a temporary command center, and the chief of the general staff has replaced all the commanders above the regiment with middle-aged officers with combat experience. It is completely ready for a war with India.

It is worth mentioning that India's troops on the border, both in number and combat power are more than Huaxia, they are difficult to compete with China in high-end armaments, but the middle and low-end are quite dominant, more importantly, India's conscription system is different from Huaxia, Huaxia is nominally a conscription system in law, but because the number of volunteers to serve in the army has exceeded the actual needs, compulsory service has not been implemented in general, so it belongs to the de facto conscription system (also known as volunteer service).

India implements a complete recruitment system, the shortest service period of ordinary soldiers is 17 years, and the sergeant is 21 to 33 years, which is equivalent to serving an iron rice bowl as soon as he enters the army, so there are a lot of people who sign up to join the army every year, especially in rural areas, joining the army has always been the first choice for many young people who have no way to find a job, but the number of places is limited, the competition is fierce, everyone is scrambling, and the stampede tragedy caused by the loose management of the scene occurs from time to time.

In addition, the Indian army treats veterans, veterans who died or were disabled in the war and officers at all levels are particularly favorable, and they and their immediate family members enjoy free medical care, priority is given to their children to enlist in the army, and give them half or free education.

It can be said that if Indian soldiers die in battle at the border, even if the whole family does not work, they will not starve to death, and the government will have various allowances and subsidies, that is, they are relatively not afraid of death, because even if they die in battle, they do not have much to worry about.

In recent years, China has made great efforts to increase the salaries and benefits of volunteers, precisely in order to make up for the gap in the treatment of military personnel with other countries.

Let's get back to the point, continue to talk about Er Xiaoguang.

The main reason for the grim situation at that time was that the Indian border army was assembled on a vital hill, which was more than 5,000 meters above sea level, and no mechanized troops could go up to it, and the front and back of the mountain were plains, and standing on the top of the hill, you could see each other at a glance two hours by car.

India occupied this hill for decades, and it was in that confrontation that China snatched it back, and since then it has occupied the strategic initiative.

Some people may think that the soldiers rushed up the mountain with guns and recaptured the mountain after a fierce bloody battle.

Not really.

On the top of the hill, one field battalion on each side was loaded with live ammunition, and the distance between them was less than 50 meters, and no one dared to take the lead in firing and rashly provoked a big war between the two countries.

Er Xiaoguang saw this opportunity, at that time he was just an ordinary soldier, directly put down the gun and strode to the Indian side, the Indian did not dare to shoot, wanted to subdue him with his bare hands, but was knocked down by Er Xiaoguang seven or eight in a row, and then he used the barrel of one of the other soldiers against his forehead, shouting to shoot.

Although the matter developed to the end, the reason why the Indian side withdrew its troops had nothing to do with Er Xiaoguang's half a dime, and Er Xiaoguang's actions were indeed muddy enough, but he was not punished in any way because of this, but because of his bravery, he was awarded a commendation by his superiors, and he was awarded a first-class meritorious service medal.

Later, the four major field armies all stayed in Tibet, and his deeds were passed on by word of mouth, even Huang Han in the northwest had heard of it, and became a veritable king of soldiers, Liu Zhi also appreciated his courage, and after testing his fighting ability, he was directly promoted and handed over to him the newly formed three battalions and four companies.

PS: Today's second chapter, this chapter is a bit watery, but the role of Er Xiaoguang is very critical, and there will be an important plot later, spraying lightly.
