Chapter 232: Rakshasa Reef
When the initial novelty wore off, life at sea became boring, and the endless blue sky swallowed the earth as if there was no end to it, and the soldiers either stood in a military posture on the ship every day, or fished.
It's boring.
Xiang Wang Ping, Qian Cone and the like, there is still a wine pastime.
The soldiers of the White Car Battalion could only look at the sea and sky and count the birds.
In the cabin, Qin Zhen was stunned by the chart he had seized from Murata Er.
map.
The vast land is surrounded by a blue ocean, and to the east lies a chain of gravel-like islands that stretches for hundreds of miles, which is Rakshasa Reef. Thousands of miles east of Rakshasa Reef is a huge group of islands, where the word "Evil Tai" is written.
Geographically speaking, Rakshasa Reef is very close to the Great Merchants, and it should be the territory of the Great Merchants, and it has become a natural barrier for the Great Merchants to defend against enemies at sea. However, due to various reasons, the Great Merchants lost control of this sea area, but due to the immigration, repatriation, exile and other means of the Evil Taiwan State for many years, this area has become a sentinel war against the Great Merchants.
It has become a springboard for the evil Taiwan country to swallow big businessmen!
The reason why Dashang's sea defense line is frequently broken through by Haikou is because Dashang's sea area is too wide and it is always difficult to reach! If Dashang can recover Rakshasa Reef, Dashang's coastal defense line will be impregnable in the true sense!
At this time, the mountains and seas rushed from the deck and said.
"Lord Protector, the main ship has sent a flag, General Taishi is invited."
A speedboat waits on the water.
Qin Zhen boarded with Zhao Yu, and the boatman quickly swung his oars and headed towards the main boat.
On the ship, many generals arrived one by one.
Tai Shiwang sat on the main seat, followed by Wang Ping, and Qian Cone and other cadres were on both sides.
"Everyone is here, let's talk about the task."
Tai Shiwang obviously doesn't like nonsense very much, and he gets straight to the point as soon as he comes up.
"In two days, we'll reach Rakshasa Reef, and we'll land from the shallows to the west."
He took a wooden stick and pointed to the sand table.
"There are several small islands here, and there may be pirate eyeliners on the islands, and all we have to do is clear the area, form a defensive line, and establish an outpost...... Now let Adjutant Wang assign the areas of responsibility of each department. ”
Wang Ping stood up, and as a result, the sticks began to draw on the sand table.
"The Chinese army will be stationed on Fishhead Island......"
"The Cow Horse Battalion is in charge of the ...... of Little Turtle Island"
"The White Car Battalion is in charge of the ...... of Little Rock Island"
Seeing the island that Wang Ping had divided, Qin Zhen frowned slightly.
Observing the sea charts in the past few days, Qin Zhen has long known the topography of Rakshasa Reef.
Yutou Island is the largest island in this area, easy to defend and difficult to attack, rich in resources, and it is appropriate to use it as a garrison for the Chinese army. Wang Ping's arrangement is based on Yutou Island and spreads out to the surrounding area, which is also the same as Qin Zhen's idea.
However, the problem lies on Little Rock Island.
Xiaoyan Island is far away from Yutou Island, located in a remote area, the island is scarce in resources, and there is nothing bare, it is simply a deserted island! However, this desert island is connected to the northwest border of Rakshasa Reef, which can just prevent the enemy of Rakshasa Reef and defend the large army stationed on Yutou Island.
Its delicate geographical location makes it indeed necessary to garrison here, but such a difficult and dangerous place is arranged for the White Car Battalion.
Once the war breaks out in the future, when the sailors retreat, they will inevitably not take into account the remote small rock islands.
Then their white car battalion is very likely to become an outcast and isolated.
Just looking at the sand table, Qin Zhen had already anticipated the danger of this place, and this Wang Ping seemed to have arranged a dead end for him.
"Adjutant Wang."
Tai Shiwang obviously also saw Wang Ping's sinister intentions, and couldn't help but groan.
"The location here is dangerous, and it should be stationed by elites, how can a miscellaneous battalion be allowed to assist in the defense? In my opinion, let's change it to a cow and horse camp! ”
"General Taishi didn't know that the strength of the white car battalion was not bad, and a few days ago a batch of brand-new armor and equipment was assigned, which was by no means comparable to ordinary miscellaneous battalions. Especially the protector Qin Zhen, who is quite wise and strict in governing the army, it is best to leave this place to him! ”
Wang Ping's words stunned everyone for a moment.
Everyone looked at Qin Zhen suspiciously, thinking to themselves if this kid was really as powerful as Wang Ping said?
Qin Zhen had an embarrassed but polite smile on his face at this moment.
Where can he not see that Wang Ping is killing himself?
If the enemy comes to attack, it is understandable that the miscellaneous battalion will be lost, but the white car battalion is so strong, if it is lost, he Qin Zhen will not be able to escape the blame! This is deliberately roasting Qin Zhen on the fire, so that he can't get off the stage!
After all, the White Car Battalion was under Wang Ping's command.
How to dispatch the White Car Battalion, Tai Shiwang really can't control it.
But after all, Zhong Xiang told him before leaving, asking him to take care of Qin Zhen, so Tai Shiwang felt very embarrassed.
"Since Lord Wang thinks so highly of my Baiche Camp, then how can Qin Zhen not go?"
Qin Zhen naturally wouldn't embarrass Tai Shiwang.
But he will not let Wang Ping use himself as a gunman.
"But according to Lord Wang, Xiaoyan Island has a prominent location and must not be lost. I want to ask the two generals for a favor here, can you give me more grain, grass and ships in the White Car Battalion? In this way, if there is a change in other defense areas, it is better to bring people to help in time. ”
It is a four- or five-day boat ride from Dashang, and the supply line is long, so the logistics supply may not be delivered in time.
Therefore, the importance of grain and grass is self-evident.
As for the sea boat, it is to give himself an insurance, in case the situation is not good in the future, when the whole army retreats, Qin Zhen can also take people to leave by boat, so as not to be left on Xiaoyan Island and wait for death.
"It's nature."
Without waiting for Wang Ping to speak, Tai Shiwang agreed.
What Qin Zhen said was indeed a legitimate reason, and there was no room for refusal at all.
"I can give you a few more ships of grain and grass, but I can't give you a few boats, but a small berthing ship can give you a few."
Wang Ping snorted coldly, and secretly said that this kid Qin Zhen is really smart.
Know that you need food and grass first!
Qin Zhen said again: "There is another request for the lowly position, the white car battalion is only five hundred, far from reaching the configuration of one thousand people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the enemy army, and the lowly position hopes that the two adults can allow the lowly position to recruit troops on the spot." ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
"Local recruitment?"
Qian Cone sneered: "Qin Zhen, aren't you stupid?" This Rakshasa Reef is either a pirate or a ronin, hating my big businessman, and eager to cut me with a thousand knives! How do you recruit troops? ”
Qin Zhen didn't bother to explain at all, but looked at Tai Shiwang squarely.
The latter was obviously a little hesitant, but finally nodded and said: "Yes, if you can recruit soldiers locally, let alone a thousand, if you can recruit 10,000 people, what if you will be promoted to a captain?" ”
"But if the recruited soldiers have bad intentions and delay the military aircraft, then you will be punished for dereliction of duty, and you will not be spared!"
