Section 245 Overall Defense

Don't look at the age of Li Wenguang and Xiao Shandong, but they are both veterans who have really experienced a hundred battles. Xiao Shandong is the person who carried the stone out of the pile of dead people on the front line, and he is the person who came into contact with the stone at the beginning. However, the stone is also selfish, at the beginning of a class of brothers left only him and Xiao Shandong, in order to be afraid of any accidents in Xiao Shandong, the stone has been taking him with him, for fear of something missing, but so too much care, will it bury Xiao Shandong's talent? This kid's skills are not weak now, and I heard that there are few guards in the entire guard who can even make a few moves with Xiao Shandong.

Not to mention Li Wenguang, who was originally attached to the first battalion, and together with Liu Wenfeng, he led a group of proud soldiers to charge into it, and after so many battles, the accumulated combat achievements are really amazing. This kid is not only good at martial arts, but also has a flexible brain, and he is very thoughtful in fighting, in fact, Shi originally intentionally wanted him to be the commander of the third battalion. However, the personnel composition of the various departments of the Independent Regiment is too complicated, and Shi Shi also has to balance the personnel and strength of all aspects, and let Li Shijian serve as the commander of the third battalion, which can actually be regarded as taking care of the old subordinates of Ji Tuanzuo. It's just that in this way, Li Wenguang's talent has been buried, and although the position of regimental headquarters and battalion commander is important, after all, there are very few opportunities to lead troops to rush to the front line.

Just when Shi Shi was thinking about these things, Li Wenguang couldn't help but report the results of this battle of going into the mountains to suppress bandits, and the situation surprised Shi Shi.

I remember when I was in Yifeng, when I was in extremely difficult circumstances, the independent regiment only "made a fortune" by suppressing bandits. Although the stone no longer looks down on the money and food obtained by the bandits, who would think that there are so many things!

As a result, the harvest this time is really not good! According to Li Wenguang's report, this time he and Xiaoshan each took a platoon into the mountains to suppress bandits, and according to the information found by the reconnaissance company, they attacked again and again, but as a result, they only destroyed four or five small cottages, each of which had only twenty or thirty people, and there was no inventory, which was very different from the situation when they were in Yifeng.

Shi Shi was stunned at first, and then called Zhang Donkey on the side and asked, "Old Zhang Tou, is there anything missing that has not been found?" ”

Zhang Donkey shook his head and said: "Commander, I don't dare to say that we have all looked for the mountains within a radius of dozens of miles, but where there are people moving, we must not miss them." Moreover, we have inquired with the local people, and there do not seem to be any large-scale mountain bandits around, and the largest group is forty or fifty people, and they have already asked the monkeys to bring people to serve them. ”

After the stone pondered for a while, he nodded slowly, and in a blink of an eye, he figured out the key.

When I was in Yifeng, the northern part of Jiangxi was on the edge of the Yangtze River, with convenient transportation and abundant products, which can be described as the land of fish and rice. Moreover, the battles around Wuhan, Nanchang, Changsha and other places have been fought for several years, and such places are naturally prone to breed bandits, and the ...... of oppressed people, homeless and homeless people, and deserters who have lost the battle, these people are gathering more and more, and their power is getting bigger and bigger.

Only a strong army like the Independent Regiment is not only sharp in weapons and strong in combat, but also like Beard and others who are born as horse bandits, and they are quite familiar with the habits of these people.

Today, the situation here is different from that of northern Jiangxi, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, the water system is developed, the Guizhou army is strong, and the regional situation is stable. In the absence of war and the people's lives are still alive, there are naturally not many people who are willing to fall into the grass, and even if there are some bandits in the mountains and forests, it is difficult to form a scale. A small group of bandits with dozens of people like this poses a greater threat to the rich squire, but for the local government, it is difficult to do anything, but because of the dangers of mountains and forests, the strength of the local security regiment is not strong enough, so it can only be resigned.

Thinking of this, Shi was also relieved and began to arrange the defense of the area west of the Rongjiang River. Although there should be no devils to attack here, such as breeding farms and cultivated fertile fields, these are things that the bandits are extremely jealous of, and if there is any omission in the protection of these places, it is very likely that the brothers of the whole regiment will work in vain, which is something that the stone does not want to see.

"Lao Zhangtou, from today onwards, the officers and men of the reconnaissance company will begin to take turns resting until the battle in Changsha is over, and the brothers of the reconnaissance company will begin to take a holiday. Stone first made arrangements for the reconnaissance company. The officers and men of the reconnaissance company can be regarded as the busiest troops of the independent regiment, and generally speaking, regardless of whether there is a battle or not, the brothers of the reconnaissance company have to spread out all over the sentry posts in the places where the troops are stationed, and by the way, they have to inquire about the situation everywhere. Once the war starts, it will be even busier, and it is also common to go deep into the enemy's occupied area, so the officers and men of the reconnaissance company are not only physically exhausted, but also work the tip of the knife for a long time, and the tense nerves make them even more physically and mentally exhausted, so as soon as the battle is over, let them seize the time to rest, otherwise the body will not collapse, and the spirit will easily collapse!

Zhang Donkey hesitated when he heard the order and asked: "Tuanzuo, there are mountains everywhere here, and there are caves everywhere, in case some thieves are hiding here, we don't detect it, it will be a troublesome thing at that time." ”

Shi said with a smile: "Don't worry, after the reconnaissance company rests, I will arrange for the bearded cavalry battalion to transfer a company to temporarily replace you." It just so happened that the cavalry battalion had newly replenished some people, and they still needed to run in and experience each other, which was also a good opportunity. Although the cavalry battalion is not as good as your brothers, I am not going to let them into the mountains this time, but I will just monitor the situation in various places on the main roads. In the event of any trouble, the main force of the cavalry battalion will be enough to arrive in time. ”

Li Wenguang on the side also smiled at this time: "Old Zhangtou, you don't think we all eat dry rice, right?" Brother Shi is personally sitting here, not to mention some bandits, even if the little devils come, they can't get any benefits, what else are you worried about? ”

Zhang Donkey thought about it and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's still your little monkey who thinks thoughtfully and is right, there is a regiment commander, only these people are fleeing for their lives, how can there be a leopard who dares to come to death?" ”

Shi said with a smile: "Don't underestimate others at any time, if you are prepared, you will be fine, the defense here is handed over to the bearded cavalry battalion to be responsible, and the guards are okay to be idle anyway, so they will cooperate with the cavalry battalion to guard the surroundings, and when the time comes, the periphery will be scattered and stationed everywhere in squad platoons, and there will be supplementary battalions inside that can be reinforced at any time, and with the rapid action ability of the cavalry battalion, it should be enough to ensure the safety of the perimeter." ”

Li Wenguang thought for a moment and couldn't help asking: "Stone, the guard company has been sent out, what should I do here at the regiment headquarters?" ”

Shi couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "What, do I still need you to protect me?" You kid was scared and forgot how I got you out of the pile of dead, didn't you? Don't get me into trouble when you're out there, even if you're doing me a great favor. As for security, the communications company, the artillery company, and the battalion headquarters of the civilian battalion are all here, and one platoon is rotated every day to guard the guard, which is enough to ensure the safety here. ”

When several people heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly realize that although the battalion headquarters of the communications company, artillery company, and civilian battalion were not considered infantry combat companies, this was only relative to other battalions of the independent regiment, and if they really started a battle, there would be no problem in letting them serve as infantry. After all, the independent regiment is different from other troops, and the number of weapons reserves of the independent regiment is really amazing, even the artillery company also has enough rifles and enough combat effectiveness. And the Minfu battalion, in order to ensure the safety of grain and grass, Shi also let Lao Zhou set up a battalion headquarters, and now this battalion headquarters is commanded by Zhao Niangzi, and there is about a combat strength of an infantry company.

In this way, even if the supplementary battalion is stationed in other places, there is also a battalion or so of troops here, and with the ability of stones, unless you encounter a devil with more than one brigade, it is definitely not a problem to retreat safely.

As they said here, Lin Xiufeng, who was attached to the group, walked in. Seeing the old furnishings and dilapidated houses here, Lin Xiufeng couldn't help frowning and said: "Tuanzuo, I think you should move to Boss Wan's place to live, you really want to be upset, we can pay the rent!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter, Brother Lin still can't get used to my place?" As he spoke, he looked up, then sat down on a chair beside him and said, "I think it's good here, I don't know how comfortable it is compared to when we were cowering in the trench." ”

Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but persuade: "Tuanzuo, that was before, isn't there such a condition now?" Besides, it didn't matter where you lived alone before, don't you still have a sister-in-law now? How can you bear to let your sister-in-law suffer like this with you? ”

Shi smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you Brother Lin for your concern, but Qianqian and I are not very particular about these aspects." People, there is food to eat, there is a bed to sleep, even if this day is passable, no matter how particular you are, you will not live a few days longer than others, why bother with it! Brother Lin is still down to business, what are you going to do? This is a big matter related to the eating problem of the whole group, and there can be no mistakes. ”

When Lin Xiufeng heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, since the group trust me to entrust me to do such an important matter, I will definitely live up to my mission and rebuild the farm here, so that the brothers of the whole group can eat enough and eat enough meat!" ”
