Chapter 179: Captain Li
Wang Twenty was puzzled.
It stands to reason that the Outer Mongolians have already set up a team of 100 people here, and this is to guess their plan.
Why don't there be any scouts in this area other than this wave of garrisons?
Wang Er also didn't know the bottom of his heart when he shot just now, after all, he was discovered by the other party, even if he didn't shoot on his side, the other party would definitely shoot.
Thinking about the gunshots, along the way, he will definitely meet the Outer Mongolian scouts who come to check the situation, and when the time comes, he will solve this group of Outer Mongolians by the way.
It's just that I didn't expect that there was no movement at all.
Even his brothers, who had deliberately stayed behind and walked slowly, did not report any hostile information.
Estimating the distance, it was now less than a mile away from the enemy's station, and the confusion in Wang Er's heart gradually dissipated.
It doesn't matter what tricks he plays, just beat his mother hard!
On this side, a bloody battle is about to begin, and on the other side, the same bloody battle is about to begin.
In Chazhong, the camp of the Shangdu Department is 500 meters away.
In recent days, dozens of wooden watchtowers have been added, as well as makeshift tents made of tarpaulins and logs.
The snow made the army's green tent white, looking like a triangular snowdrift.
From a distance, you can vaguely see some flickering firelight.
Through the wind and snow, you can faintly see the bonfire in the brazier, the flickering fire in the mouth of the soldier, and the torches in the hands of the soldiers who rode horses to patrol the defense line along the way.
"Patriarch! Could it be that these military masters really plan to fight with the Outer Mongolians in this weather? ”
At this time, more than 400 meters away from the Shangdu Department, less than 100 meters away from the defense line, more than a dozen horsemen were watching the defense line area under the wind and snow.
"Looks like yes! I thought that the old man above always didn't plan to take care of this thing on the grassland in winter, but now it seems that there is still a bit of a plant! ”
One-eyed exhaled a breath of hot air and said with a hint of teasing.
Deputy Mu put his hands in his sleeves, shrunk his neck and nodded with a smile, "It's quite kind!" I heard that they also brought a lot of good guys, and it is estimated that they can clean up this group of Outer Mongolians! ”
"Not necessarily!"
One-eyed shook his head slightly.
"Yesterday, the Kereh tribe has arrived in this vicinity, and the Kereh tribe is the most elite and the most fearless tribe under the command of the Qiyan tribe except for the descendants.
It is true that the Outer Mongolians are not invincible, but the Kerebu is definitely the hard stubble inside.
And what do you think of this line of defense? ”
"The line of defense?"
Hearing this, Deputy Mu narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the defense line that the military masters had spent several days forging in the distance, and nodded after thinking about it.
"It should be possible, although it is different from our grassland, but everyone is a military master, and they all often fight, and they have their ideas to do this."
The pastor didn't dare to say anything, but One-Eye sneered.
"Hehe, what are we still doing with our own people?
They may be good in the southern Central Plains, but in the steppe.... Work!
And it's the prairie of this season! The line of defense is too open! ”
"This...."
The pastor was dumbfounded, he actually thought the same way.
At first glance, this line of defense looks like a chain, deriving twenty miles of land from the left and right of the central part of Chazhong, and every other mile there is a camp tent and a guard tower.
With these tents as the center, they served as the hub for the scattered scouts.
And in the front areas of these large and small camps, some trenches were dug, and even some barbed wire fences were carefully made in some places.
However, because of the limited number of barbed wires, only a short section of these was set up in front of some specific trenches, mainly to prevent the cavalry from suddenly storming the trenches in several main directions.
Although there were some trenches in the camp in the rear, it was clear that the defenses here were much looser.
Normally, there is really no problem.
After all, the area set up by the trench guard tower in front of it happened to be at a horn with the camp, and even if it was around the rear, it was necessary to try to block the machine gun fire erected in the trench first.
It's just that..... I didn't have such a big snowstorm the other day!
It was about five miles away from the right side of the one-eyed group, that is, in the rear of the middle area of the entire defense line.
A makeshift headquarters is being set up here.
Unlike other areas, it was much more fortified, with not only a support battalion stationed, but also an entire firepower reinforcement company.
Normally, it's certainly not so tight, but this time it's different.
As the head of this independent regiment, Li Jun is very clear about the identity of the person in front of him, the celebrity next to Chief Officer Zhang.
Although he was in charge of the full garrison mission this time, and the other party had never been involved in any arming matters from beginning to end, he understood that this person's safety was more important than everything.
"Commander Li, there is a 5,000-person Outer Mongolian Banner wandering around here, it should be fine, right?"
Adjutant Zhou asked with a smile, he just said it casually, of course, it was not without some reminders.
Hearing the other party's inquiry, Li Jun didn't dare to slack off.
The other party's military rank may not necessarily be as high as his own, but as the old saying goes, the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the door.
"Adjutant Zhou, don't worry, I have done a lot of research on the Outer Mongolians recently, and you see that these are some limited information that I transferred from the library before I started.
Some are the analysis of the combat strength of Outer Mongolia last time they went south, as well as some of their operational ideas.
Secondly, there is some information that my reconnaissance company has recently detected!"
Li Jun's waist is straight, and he has really done his homework.
I saw that several staff officers next to him quickly spread out a piece of information, which were all marked with red pens, and the intelligence work was collected in great detail.
The reason why Li Jun's troops are independent regiments and not ordinary regiments is because they have real skills.
He followed Yan Dashuai to participate in Zhifeng, and fought several battles in the Northern Expedition, which was really fought from the bottom little by little, and during this period, he studied in the army school.
Both practical and paper strategies are excellent.
Independent regiments also have a lot of advantages over ordinary regiments, and the number of people in the full number of division-level units has also increased from about 1,500 to about 2,500 to 3,000 when they are not returned to brigades, and division-level units are deployed.
It has three battalions and one support battalion, and the equipment is also very good.
There were more than a dozen machine guns, several heavy machine guns, and even an artillery company, but unfortunately this time they rushed to the grassland to fight, and they didn't bring it out because of the long distance.
But with so much luxury equipment, Li Jun is confident, and fighting Waimeng people is like fighting primitive people.
It's okay if you don't come, but if you do, you have to touch your nose with a blood!
"Adjutant Zhou, I have roughly studied the offensive routes of these Outer Mongolians.
And their style of play is also straightforward, it is nothing more than a set of cavalry charge play, and I have a lot of experience in dealing with this style of play on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.
Although I don't know exactly how that Zhao field manager managed to achieve that kind of record, I don't think we are inferior.
Even if you allow us to go deep into the grasslands, we may be able to create even greater results! ”
Li Jun began to see the dagger as he spoke.
That's right, he didn't come to the grassland to watch the gate, but to go further!
