"Retreat to the south? Didn't you say retreat to the second-line position? Li Yuan looked at the herald of the regiment headquarters in confusion.

This is different from the orders I received before!

He suspected that the herald had sent the wrong order.

"Battalion Commander Li, that's right, the order is to scatter on both sides. There were people in the second line of positions, and you helped the flanks to withstand the French attack.

You see, this is the order. It's written in black and white! The herald took out a brown paper envelope, which was covered with fire paint according to the old rules of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yuan checked the fire paint, then tore open the envelope.

Soon, Li Yuan closed the envelope.

"Battalion commander, why did you change your plans?" Bayan, who had already become a platoon commander, ran behind Li Yuan out of breath.

Li Yuan wanted to report to his superiors that he liked to lead the Mongols.

Not to mention, his superiors really met his requirements.

A Mongolian battalion was set up specifically for him, and in addition to the standard equipment of the Liao army, each person also had an extra mare's milk wine bag.

Even at the height of the war, every Mongol's wine bag was empty of mare's milk wine.

It took only five days to escape from Kharkov to Tsaritsyn, and the battalion he led was fully loaded again.

During this time, it was another fight all the way.

For fighting resistance warfare, these Mongolian men are quite proficient.

From joining the army to the present, the net fight has been a blocking war.

There are casualties, but they increase as casualties increase.

There were all the people who were supplemented by other troops, but the division added all the Mongols to him.

The Mongol soldiers liked to drink and fight and make trouble. There were also a lot of Mongol soldiers, who couldn't even speak Chinese.

This kind of soldier is only what Li Yuan's Mongolian battalion likes to want.

It is a little strange to say that when these Mongol soldiers arrived at the Mongolian camp, they became much more honest.

Moreover, they are brave and good at fighting.

Among the four battalions of the regiment, the top Mongols were the most capable of fighting.

This time, the whole regiment fought for three days to block the attack, and the casualties were still not small.

Each company has been reduced by two or three percent!

"Huh!

After so many blocking battles, the top is really enlightened.

Tell the brethren to gather it away. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, we moved to the friendly positions on the southern flank. ”

"Company commander, give the brothers a thorough explanation. If it's not big, the guy won't feel at ease! ”

"Well, after the transfer to friendly positions. Except for a few sentry posts, all the companies drank well and ate well.

Then ......, get a good night's sleep. ”

"Eat well, drink well, and sleep?" Bayan felt that he had misheard.

When you are fighting, you can eat and drink well, and you can sleep well. It's a day in paradise!

"Yes, eat well, drink well, sleep well.

Tomorrow night, we will not block, we will attack. ”

"Really?" Bayan's eyes lit up.

Although the resistance battle was well fought, there were few captures.

A few days ago, three companies fought an offensive operation, and not only captured more than a dozen Frenchmen.

A lot of French munitions were also captured, and the kind of thing called whiskey didn't taste very good. But the victory is over the drink!

The Mongolian brothers liked to drink strongly, and after trying it, the Mongolian brothers appreciated this kind of thing.

The big guys are determined to seize more.

It's like three companies of those guys, five people and six people all day.

Didn't you just seize a few crates of wine? What's the big deal, next time, watch the gentlemen seize a car for you.

The next day, the whole battalion hid behind the fraternal troops. Look at the fraternal troops, withstanding wave after wave of attacks from the French.

Except for supporting the flanks of the brother troops throughout the day, most of the rest of the day, he slept with his guns in his arms.

The vast majority of people are accustomed to the battlefield and will never let it go as long as they have time to sleep.

Even two or three kilometers ahead, the machine guns "snapped" and "snapped". From time to time, the mortars exploded a few hundred meters ahead, and the men could still sleep soundly.

Li Yuan lay in the anti-artillery hole, eating canned beef and taking a sip of mare's milk wine.

Mare's milk wine was a special supply to the Mongol battalion, and even in wartime, as long as they were not standing guard, everyone could drink a little.

But the big guys are very modest, and they drink and drink, and no one drinks big.

Drinking too much on the battlefield is similar to looking for death.

"Battalion commander, what's going on. Why did we suddenly rest on the battlefield? Bayan leaned over to Li Yuan's side and said with a smile.

Li Yuan hurriedly covered the canned beef in his hand with his hand and looked at Bayan with vigilant eyes.

"Battalion commander, I won't rob you." Bayan leaned against the inner wall of the steel plate of the anti-artillery hole.

What is there to grab if the cattle have canned food, the battalion commander is stingy.

Daming anti-artillery holes are all welded at the rear of the standard pointed steel plate. The whole is presented in a trapezoidal shape!

Just dig a hole in the inner wall of the trench and stuff it straight in.

Such an anti-gun hole, anti-gun and anti-bullet performance are very good.

Moreover, the time for building anti-artillery holes has been greatly reduced, and when it is withdrawn, it can be dismantled and taken away directly.

This kind of thing has been well received by the vast number of officers and men.

The big guy is still the second most convenient thing, and the most important thing is that this kind of steel anti-gun hole is relatively strong.

The bombardment of heavy artillery is simply not enough to cause damage to this thing.

Only a direct hit from a howitzer of a caliber of more than one hundred and twenty mm will cause damage to those inside the anti-artillery hole.

The officers and soldiers did not know that this kind of thing had a more apt name in later generations - cat ear piercing.

"The upper peak has changed its nature, and this time let the vanguard of France in. I'm just holding back to eat them tonight!

The follow-up troops fought a block five kilometers away, as long as they carried the vanguard of the French.

Tonight, we and the troops of the northern front will be interspersed from both sides.

And then, that's all. Li Yuan made a gesture of closing his arms.

"I'm rubbing! This method is good, the French in this mouth almost need more than one battalion. ”

Bayan immediately became excited.

"The French battalion is smaller than ours, with only three companies.

To attack a ten-kilometer-wide opening, at least four companies or more are needed.

This time, one of our regiments took advantage of the night to outflank both wings.

It is to eat these four companies in one night. Then, rely on the existing defensive positions for another day.

Now you can eat some of them, and you will drink them if you drink them.

Tomorrow, it's not so good. ”

Li Yuan dug up a large piece of canned beef and stuffed it into his mouth!

As a matter of fact, the officers and men are not very interested in canned meat. The popular thing is the canned fruit in the tin bucket!

The Russians were very surprised to see the canned fruit of the Ming Dynasty, they had not seen much winter to eat peaches.

I am even more envious of the Ming soldiers, who have an apple or orange every day.

Although oranges can be sour at times, the big apples of Liaodong Xiongyue never disappoint.

It's shelf-stable and tastes great.

", it's hard to fight like this.

I've long felt that blindly hitting and blocking is a bit passive. So that it will not be long before the front will be pushed to Tsaritsyn.

Only this kind of repeated pulling can not only kill more Frenchmen, but also get benefits. ”

"Yo he! I went to a three-day study class, and when I came back, I was able to grow my skills.

Don't be idle, get your scout squad out there.

Scout the French pillboxes and firing points, and your company will be the vanguard of the whole battalion.

By the way, I can tell you.

When we withdrew, we planted a lot of mines. The French may not be able to make it all, so they told the brothers to be careful, not to rush forward without hesitation, and to watch carefully under their feet. ”

"The rear artillery fire doesn't clear the mines for us!"

"It's impossible for the artillery fire to light all the thunder!"

"Gotcha!" Bayan stood up and climbed out with the big eight grains in his hand.

After climbing over three trenches, he returned to his company.

"Hugjiril! Hugjiril! Back in the company, Bayan pulled his neck and began to shout.

"What's the matter, company commander." Hearing the shout, Hugejiril rushed over as fast as he could.

"When it's dark, you'll take your scout squad out. Give Lao Tzu the firepower of the French on the opposite side to understand! ”

"Company commander, are we going to attack the opposite position?"

"Don't talk nonsense, military secrets."
