472. The struggle behind enemy lines of the Independent Regiment
"Dalu Puppet Emperor Tuoba Yuan, killed 10,000 Han people as a sacrifice, gathered blood pools to worship the evil gods, recovered his body, and led 200,000 troops to Nanyang."
In Qingcheng Town, the shouts of the newsboys outside the wall reached Li Shijiu's ears.
"Ahem, cough, ······"
After a cough, Li Shijiu clenched his fists and raised his eyebrows and asked, "I assassinated the Barbarian Emperor in the Barbarian Court at the beginning, and now I have indirectly killed tens of thousands of people?" ”
"The master doesn't have to go to his heart, it's not the master's fault."
Gu Changqing emerged from the shadows and said comfortingly.
"I know."
Li Shijiu leaned his head back on the chair and pulled the thick cotton jacket covering his body: "I just hate, I hate those barbarians in my heart, and I can't forgive myself."
The foundation of the ancestors, and the hundreds of millions of people, sometimes think about it, it is really better to die on the barbarian court, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and there is no need to suffer every day. ”
"Now that the lord has been relieved of his burden, why not live for himself?"
Queen Yu, who walked into the courtyard with a stove, happened to hear this, and persuaded her: "The concubine has seen the master's efforts over the years, but the accumulation of more than 100 years of maladministration, and the current situation, the disaster of the living corpse, the Nanyang earthquake, and the time is also fatal."
Now that the past has passed, why bother to reminisce and add troubles to himself? ”
Li Shijiu shook his head and sighed: "I haven't seen it as clearly as you can." ”
"The concubine recently read some poems, books and Taoist scriptures, cultivate her heart, and when I go back in a while, I will ask Xiao Taohong to send you two books to see."
Empress Yu put the copper stove in Li Shijiu's hands, and it exuded warmth, dispelling the cold on Li Shijiu's body.
"It's okay, now that I'm free, it's okay to read a book, and the province is always thinking about it."
Li Shijiu said.
After living in Qingcheng, he likes to lie under the wall of the West Garden, smell the fresh life coming from the outside through the wall, and listen to the parents of the people outside the wall, their views on the current situation, and their evaluation of the old scene.
"By the way, Changqing, those suggestions for the construction of the Qi State written in my study, you go and mail them to the King of Qi."
He suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said to Gu Changqing.
"Yes."
Gu Changqing answered, and disappeared.
"The Daru people are exhausted, and this time, I don't know how King Qi will deal with it."
Li Shijiu muttered.
On December 8, heavy snow fell, and the north was covered with snow.
The 200,000 Dalu army, braving the heavy snow, set out from Nanyang to aid Zhongzhou. On the battlefield of Zhongzhou, the Daru people were in great prowess. The pressure on the Beiwan Group suddenly increased greatly, and the Guo County Defense Area, where the Third Route Army led by Zheng Fangxing, also felt a lot of pressure.
On the same day, the 150,000 Dalu army marched south from Nanyang to the direction of Yuzhou.
The two roads marched together, so that the troops stationed in Yueyang County and Bincheng County of Qi could not be easily mobilized.
Fortunately, at this time, the 250,000 recruits had already been reorganized under intensified training, and through the full production of military factories, they had also been replaced with bolt rifles, and they had already got rid of the embarrassing situation of nearly half of the regular soldiers using flintlock pistols.
At this point, the new army also has a certain combat effectiveness.
It's just that it lacks heavy firepower such as armored vehicles and field artillery, and there is still a big gap between its combat effectiveness and that of veterans.
On the same day of 8 December, the Ministry of Communications urgently dispatched trains, and 250,000 recruits set off from the training camp in Sanjiang County and took the train north to Yuntai County to rush to the front.
On 10 December, after two days and 12 trains of continuous rail transportation day and night, all 250,000 recruits arrived in Wuyang County, Yuntai County. After a short renovation in Wuyang County, it strode into Boming County in Zhongzhou Province.
On the same day, the propeller fighters of Yueyang County took off in formation, and at the same time, under the escort of a large number of aliens, flew to Dangcheng County to carry out bombing missions.
On December 15, in Xinpan Province, the cold wind was howling.
Between heaven and earth, a plain white, goose feathers and heavy snow in the sky have been rustling, the cold wind blows, the rough snow swirls, flies everywhere, flutters on people's faces, and also makes people feel painful!
The thick snow that has been frozen, the surface appears crisp, and the feet step on it, making a "creaking" sound.
Chen Da Hammer carried a blood-stained iron rod and wore a white camouflage uniform, walking around the snow, looking at the soldiers standing straight in the snow and wearing the same white camouflage as him.
They stood on the snow, the moisture between their breaths condensed into hoarfrost and hung on their eyelashes. Some of them were stained with blood, and they were frozen in this bitter cold weather, and they were clumped.
The rough and bitter cold environment in the north was still somewhat unbearable for the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, who were mostly southerners.
Fortunately, they are all the elite of the elite, and they are all in martial arts, except for being a little uncomfortable with the environment, they have not lost their personnel because of the cold.
After a fierce exercise, they could hardly hide the excitement on their faces.
Behind them, was the huge silhouette of the battleship Dongyang.
At this time, there was still a little residual temperature on the muzzle of the Dongyang battleship, and when the snow fell on the gun barrel, it immediately melted away, turned into water stains, and fell "tick-tock". On the dock, a large number of workers are carrying supplies down.
High-calorie military rations containing a lot of oil and sugar, military coats, face towels, military boots, hats, etc., snowmobiles that are convenient for snow use, and a large number of weapons and ammunition.
"After that, every twenty days, a ship will come from Yao Guowen Island to deliver supplies. Please make sure that Hufang Island is not captured by the enemy, otherwise the Independent Regiment will become a completely lone army. ”
After unloading the goods, Zhang Shan and Wang Yue personally disembarked, found Chen Dazhui and said: "The task of this trip is extremely important, our Dongyang fleet will also cruise in the waters around the tiger side, if we encounter difficulties and get in touch with us in time, we will use naval guns, armed helicopters, marines, etc., to give corresponding support." ”
"I know."
Chen Dazhui nodded in response.
"Qi army wins!"
Zhang Shan saluted.
"Qi army wins!"
Chen Dazhui returned the salute and watched Zhang Shan and Wang Yue board the boat.
As the Dongyang slowly sailed away from the Tiger Dock, the Independent Regiment completely became a lone soldier on the territory of the Daru Empire.
Between this white and vast world, the soldiers' hearts inevitably have some loneliness in decline.
The independent regiment had 3,000 people, but this time, in order to better hide itself, only the best of the best were selected, and 1,200 elite soldiers were dispatched.
"Refill your ammo, get your supplies, take a break, and in ten minutes, we'll go!"
Chen Dazhui didn't say much, with the elite soldiers of the independent team, at this time, there was no need to say any more inspiring words.
The soldiers, in a company, quickly filled the ammunition gap in the material area in an orderly manner after the first battle at Hufang Wharf.
Bullets are refilled with magazines and grenades.
Compressed biscuits, self-heating pans and other rations are packed into the backpack.
After all the replenishment was complete, the soldiers sat silently in the snow, drank water, ate, and replenished some physical strength.
The company commanders are still a little unskilled when using space props.
These precious space props were originally far from being available to officers of their level, but in view of the particularity of this mission, it was difficult to get supplies for this mission, and before leaving, the Ministry of Defense specially applied for a batch of space props and distributed them to the company-level officers who participated in the operation.
These props are generally only 3-5 square meters, and the space is not large, but they add up to fifty or sixty cubic meters, and the stored materials can be consumed for them for a while.
After the company commander packed and stored the sorted materials, Chen Dazhui put the last of the larger materials into his space ring.
Compared to these grassroots company commanders, the internal space of his spatial ring was quite considerable, with fifty cubic meters.
"Let's go!"
After a short rest, the two of them set off on a snowmobile, following behind Chen Dazhui.
"Whew~"
The cold wind howled, and after the snowmobile left, the ruts on the snow that were pressed by the sleigh were quickly buried by the wind and snow.
At the same time, the corpses of thousands of Daru soldiers who died here in the battle on the docks were also buried.
"For the first stop, we went to Yucong County in Yutian County, which is the base camp of the Yutian County rebels, which is quite famous in the entire Xinpan Province and is now fighting against the Daru barbarians.
If we destroy the Daru barbarians there, we will be able to revive the rebels in Yutian County in no time, and cause great chaos in Xinpan Province.
At the same time, Yucong County can also become a supply point for us.
In addition, Yucong County is mountainous and near the sea, and it can be attacked and defended here, and even if the rebels we saved attract more barbarian soldiers, they will not be easily destroyed. ”
Deputy head Lu Xingwen was by Chen Dazhui's side and reported.
"Is there anywhere else? Our core mission is to create chaos behind the enemy's back. Before leaving, His Highness told me that the first is to establish a base behind enemy lines and strengthen the resistance against the bloody tyranny of the Daru. The second is to create greater chaos, disrupt the enemy's front-line deployment, make the barbarian court scramble, and weaken their combat effectiveness. ”
When Chen Dazhui came, Ren Pingsheng had taught him face-to-face.
"Yucong County is a living chess piece, in addition, the Night Owl Organization and the Divine Arrow Division's intelligence department in Xinpan Province also sent us the rebel army from Liuzhuang County, Yutian County, but this rebel army has been beaten into the mountains by the barbarian army, and it is difficult to contact them when we arrive.
The others are the rebels in Boshan County, Wenzhou County, and Sucheng County farther away. After I just took a closer look, it is still this group of rebels in Yucong County, which is strong and acts in a disciplined manner, and the leader should know some military law, and he may be able to do something. ”
Lu Xingwen was originally an intelligence officer of the Night Owl Organization, but later he was transferred to the 301st Division and joined the Independent Regiment, and he was very professional in intelligence analysis.
"Okay, go to Yucong County, and lead the way in front."
Chen Dazhui said.
In this snowy world, it is very difficult to find the way by comparing a map.
Fortunately, the map is quite detailed, and the references are mostly mountains, rivers, and villages, but in this bad weather, with the help of a compass, you can only barely make out the direction.
"The closest to us in front, Zhouji Village and Chaishi Village in Hutian County, are all big villages, and we should be able to find a guide to recognize the way."
Lu Xingwen twisted the accelerator, the engine of the snowmobile roared, more than 600 snowmobiles, in this snow-white and silent land, roaring like a group of tigers! There are occasionally some animals in the snow, and they are too scared to come out.
Du Sanliang, originally a businessman who went from house to house to collect mountain goods, because when receiving goods, he often gave people a shortage of catties and short taels, and was considered a treacherous businessman, and was affectionately called "Du Sanliang". Although the original days were tight, they could still make do, and the family had 30 acres of thin fields, plus the collected mountain goods were sold to the upper family, which could also provide for the daily expenses of the family.
He used to secretly curse the court, hoping that the emperor would quickly curl his braids, change to a good emperor who is capable and sympathetic to the people, and let the people live a good life.
But now, he felt so stupid.
"I'm so stupid, really, I just know that when Emperor Chongqing was in power, our life was terrible, I don't know that the Daru people are even worse. My family's thirty acres of thin fields were robbed, my wife was ruined to death by those son-of-bitch-raised mongrels, the old lady in order to block those son-of-bitch-raised mongrels, they pushed and fell, and her head hit the stone trough, and she also died, my father was stabbed to death by them with a knife, and when I went back with my sister-in-law, only the young child was left, and she was also frozen to death in the snow······
I didn't cut their heads with a hatchet because I wanted to watch them climb up from the underworld and kill those bitch-bitched bastards!
Now that I'm still alive in this world, I just want to kill all those mongrels, even if I become a living corpse after death, I have to bite a few more mongrels to be satisfied! ”
Du Sanliang knelt in front of a thatched hut in Chaishi Village, and said to the woman who was holding him and crying: "Sister, I will ask the eldest sister to take care of her, I hope she can grow up smoothly." ”
The eldest sister hugged him and cried sadly, and the girl also stood in the snow crying, and the three-year-old doll couldn't understand what was happening, but she could also feel the atmosphere of the outside world.
"Big sister, I'm leaving!"
Du Sanliang pushed the eldest sister away, and after kowtowing in the snow, he stood up.
"Little Third Son······"
The eldest brother-in-law at the door couldn't help but shout.
"Brother-in-law, don't persuade me, now I live in this world just to slaughter a few more dog mongrel!"
Du Sanliang turned around, and the tears in his eyes had frozen into ice crystals on his face.
"I don't advise you, little third son, take this!"
The eldest brother-in-law took a bow from the wall, put the bowstring on his arms, and gave a pot of feather arrows to Du Sanliang: "You have played it before, and you will use it now." ”
"Brother-in-law······
"Take it!"
The eldest brother-in-law said.
"Good!"
Du Sanliang took the bow and arrow.
He knew that this was the eldest brother-in-law's hunting business, but now he gave it to himself.
But he did not refuse, put on his back, and resolutely left Chaishi Village.
In the strict sense, Zhouji Village and Chaishi Village are gone. The whole town has become a fief of a Daru nobleman, and everyone is a serf and slave of that nobleman. They have become other people's private assets, and they are no longer considered "people" in legal terms.
Even life and death are in the hands of others.
