There are many types of military salutes stipulated in the regulations of the Ming Army, such as fist salute, eye salute, gun salute, chest stroking salute, etc., but the most common is still a fist salute.

Although the Western-style salute complies with the regulations, it is relatively rare, and usually those officers who have gone abroad for exchange and study will prefer to use the salute.

Looking at the back of Zhou Changfeng who turned to leave, Wei Gaoming turned his head sideways and asked, "This kid... What's the matter? ”

Han Zhixun next to him was wiping his glasses, and when he heard the words, he replied casually: "In the third year, he was the fourth in the Tianwu Infantry Division, and later went to the Somur Cavalry School for two years. ”

If you don't consider your background, your grades and talent are so good, and you are highly valued by the officials, and you are so young, this is a good seedling of a general.

[It's strange, why would anyone come up with the conclusion that "going abroad to stay abroad" would be more popular? Further deduce that this is the Republic of China that has changed its skin? The protagonist is popular because he has good grades in martial arts in Nanjing, and what does it have to do with going to France to exchange and learn tactics. 】

"Hey, this first time I put myself in danger...... Wei Gaoming thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that the old man of the Third Brigade is going to poke me in the back." ”

"It doesn't matter if he scolds, it's just that there are too many noble sons and daughters in the forbidden army, and there are also many descendants of the emperor's relatives. This is a desperate battle, and we are afraid that we will be blocked in the future. Han Zhixun put on his glasses and picked up a few colored pencils.

Wei Gaoming's face turned cold, and he snorted: "The battle has reached this point, even if the officers and soldiers of this battalion are all relatives of the emperor, it should be correct." How many noble children died in England during the European War? Tens of thousands! If they die, the noble gentlemen of our country will not be able to die? ”

There was a brief silence in the headquarters, and everyone fell silent.

After a while, Han Zhixun changed the topic and said: "It will take three or four days for the 12th and 35th divisions to organize a retreat immediately, and the British detachment... It will be there in more than two days, and the battalion of the 38th Regiment can delay them for half a day, and the remaining day... It's up to you to see if you can get it. ”

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven! The large force of the mixed third brigade is also about to arrive, I hope this group of fancy people will not embarrass the countrymen. Wei Gaoming picked up a red pencil and drew a heavy circle on the small village and town called "Demagi" on the map.

After leaving the turbid basement, Zhou Changfeng stood at the gate of Rongzang Bank and took a deep breath, then got on a motorcycle and went straight to the station.

When passing by a supply depot on the way, Zhou Changfeng heard several soldiers from other units complaining, mocking the Forbidden Army's mixed three brigades for coming all the way to make up the numbers, which was purely a fart and no showmanship.

Sure enough, the forbidden army is not welcomed.

Ten minutes later.

The officers and men of the first battalion, who were not yet unaware, were very leisurely at the moment, and they all looked like they were staying out of the situation.

Gun polishing, car repairs, tea, smoking, chatting, listening to the radio, everything, as if they were just going through the motions of this battle.

"Battalion commander, are you back? Look at the good stuff I got it. Seeing Zhou Changfeng returning to the camp, Xie Wancheng pointed to the side triumphantly, "Twenty big bags of tea, I paid some money out of my own pocket, no loss, add a meal to the brothers!" ”

When I looked at it, I saw more than a dozen soldiers happily leading three yaks, beckoning the men to come and slaughter the cattle as they walked.

"I'm afraid I can't eat it." Zhou Changfeng said calmly: "Are the supplies in place?" ”

"All the guns and ammunition are in place, a base is the same, and food supplies are all in place."

"Okay, immediately convene the commanders of each team and platoon, and have a meeting!"

At the time of the pull-out, the troops had a base of ammunition, and now they have made up for it.

According to the regulations, units at and below the regimental level of combat units carry two base base ammunition, one base ammunition to be kept at the division headquarters, one base to be kept at the forward military station, and one basic base to be kept at the rear military station, for a total of five basic ammunition.

[Artillery units equipped with suppressive artillery carry and retain four times as much ammunition, or twenty bases; The ammunition of the machine gun was doubled, that is, ten bases. 】

A moment later, more than a dozen officers all arrived, and Zhou Changfeng rested the map rack on the hood of the off-road vehicle, and then said bluntly: "The battle situation has changed abruptly, look, two divisions of our army have penetrated hundreds of miles deep into the enemy's territory, and then the enemy has a mixed unit of more than 5,000 people advancing eastward from the northern front." ”

Liu Qidong, the captain of the first team, was surprised: "Good guys, they are all pretending to be defeated and retreating these days?" This is a big trap for us. ”

"The visual distance is only a few hundred miles, and they can rush over in a day or two to cut off our army's retreat, right?" Xue Can of the third team looked up at Zhou Changfeng, "Battalion commander, are we going to plug the gap?" ”

"That's right, now there is a battalion of the 12th Division that is already trying to stop them, but they can't hold out for long, and now they can only rely on us."

Sun Cheng, the captain of the second team, pushed his glasses and muttered, "Is it just us?" I'm afraid it's hard to parry. ”

"The reserve had to be wary of the British in Burma to the east, so only one team was drawn as reinforcement." Zhou Changfeng glanced at the people with solemn faces, and said: "Time is not waiting, the battle order has been issued, and the three teams are ready to set off in a quarter of an hour. ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers who had just thought they would have a good day's rest were stunned when they learned of the order, and the cooks who were pondering where to slaughter cattle with knives also looked at each other.

More than a dozen trucks were still parked on the side of the road, and the quartermaster, who had completed the handover of supplies, quickly left after checking the signatures.

Zhou Changfeng, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, carefully studied the map, while Xiao Li next to him was waiting with a few blank marching plans.

In order to seize Demagi, it is definitely not possible to take a flatter route but requires a long detour, so it can only be set off from Lingzhi... Rushed directly to Funan County in the south.

Funan, in fact, is Milin. There is a dirt road in this section, and you can march by car, but it is only one hundred and forty miles, and you can reach it in half a day.

But then it was time to march on foot, and Demagi was three hundred miles to the south, which was only a straight line. Because on the way, you have to shuttle through the lofty mountains at the eastern foot of the Himalayas, and the actual distance... According to the standard conversion, hills add 15%, and mountains add 25%, so there are at least 380 li.

And it is necessary to take into account the "terrain coefficient", and the march on complex terrain must also be multiplied by an additional coefficient, how can a mountain road be the same as a flat road?

Looking at the dense contour lines, Zhou Changfeng, who was almost dazzled, wrote a 30% very decisively.

As for the speed of the march on foot, the speed of the regular march is usually 5 km/h, and the normal march of a day and night is 30-35 km; The so-called rapid march can reach speeds of up to 10 km/h, but this is almost impossible to last.

When the time came, I got out of the car, but there were 380 miles of mountain roads.

Zhou Changfeng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, solemnly signed his name on the schedule, and then turned his head and said: "Go and convey the order, all the departments will abandon the irrelevant baggage, the gas masks and tents will all be thrown in place, and then let the quartermaster here immediately transfer a batch of cigarettes and chocolates!" ”
