275. Chapter 275 Meeting Yongan Port
Chapter 275 Reunion at Yongan Port
Before Luo Wudan could say anything, Qian Tiandun continued: "This is a military camp, not your home! Don't think of this as a hiking trip. We are marching and fighting! I am looking at the relationship between my colleagues.
I’m telling you this, don’t force me to use military regulations, that will look bad on everyone’s faces!”
Luo Wudan was angry and scared, and finally stamped her feet angrily, and finally turned and left without saying a word. Qian Tiandun muttered in the direction she left: "Send two people to keep an eye on her, don't let her go anywhere again."
Let’s move!”
Qian Tiandun has always been opposed to the participation of non-military personnel like Luo Wudan in military operations. In view of the attitude shown by the propaganda agencies towards the military in the past six months, he believes that Luo Wudan's existence not only cannot
If it brings any benefit to this operation, it will actually hinder it - fighting on the battlefield means risking one's life, and fighting the South Vietnamese troops is likely to be a one-sided situation. Who knows if she will suddenly be possessed by the Virgin?
, accusing our own soldiers of ruthless killings?
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, the wake-up call sounded in the camp. After a simple breakfast, each company packed up and boarded the ship again. Due to poor sea conditions and strong waves and strong winds that day, for safety reasons, the fleet could only sail along the
The coastline moved forward slowly, and in the evening of the same day, it arrived at the mouth of the river where Yijing Port was later located, and camped on the local river bank for the night. On the afternoon of the third day, the fleet heading south from the Tushan Peninsula finally arrived at its destination, Yong'an Port.
The 500 civilians assigned to the advance team by Zheng Bai and the 300 naturalized citizens of Black Tu Port who arrived earlier have been working here for several days, building wooden trestles and piers on the seaside, and in accordance with the requirements of the engineers on the shore.
Several sites have been leveled and used as campsites for the troops. In addition, several wooden warehouses have been built and basic waterproofing treatment has been carried out. In the planning of the Military and Police Department, Yong'an Port will be used as the site for this trip.
Construction of material storage points for military operations and coastal strongholds that can be retreated in adverse situations.
After Qian Tiandun arrived here, he immediately used the radio to contact another fleet departing from the base camp. He learned that they were less than thirty nautical miles away from here. He immediately asked Gao Qiaonan to organize a group of migrant workers.
A lighthouse was built on the hill east of the port to mark the direction so that another fleet could identify the direction of the port after dark.
On the evening of January 22, the fleet from Victory Port also arrived at the port of Yong'an smoothly, only a few hours later than the fleet heading south from the Tushan Peninsula. Basically, it arrived at its destination on time according to the pre-planned plan, completing this trip
A historic cross-sea meeting.
However, the soldiers who reunited on the east coast of Vietnam did not have much time to chat. After more than 2,000 people suddenly landed in this originally deserted coastal area, of course there would be a little panic. Especially the base camp troops coming across the sea.
Most of these militiamen have no experience of going to sea by boat for a long time. Many Li and Miao soldiers even went to sea for the first time in their lives. After several days and nights of wandering at sea, their physical and mental conditions are not ideal.
, a small number of people become unwell due to severe seasickness and need to be nursed back to health.
Black Tu Port undoubtedly performs better in this aspect. Due to Qian Tiandun's conscious arrangement, the militiamen of Black Tu Port often rotate between Black Tu Port and Tushan Peninsula, so most of the militiamen have better seaworthiness.
Ability, there was no widespread physical discomfort after arriving at Yong'an Port.
After arranging the garrison of thousands of people with torch lighting that night, it was already past midnight. But the officers had no intention of taking a rest so early. After having a quick bite, Yan Chujie immediately summoned the commanders of each company.
, held a meeting to discuss the current preparations and the next battle plan.
According to the plan of the Military and Police Department, after the troops arrive here, they must rest for at least one day before considering whether to immediately go out to the combat zone to participate in the next battle. Mu Xiabai and Feng Annan, who were sent to the front line as the advance team,
They witnessed with their own eyes the fighting between the two sides during this period on the front line. They also returned to Yong'an Port early today in order to promptly convey the current knowledge of the war situation to their comrades who had just arrived here.
The preparation work of the advance team can be said to be quite solid. Mu Xiabai first took out graphic materials to explain the geographical environment of the battlefield to everyone, and briefly analyzed the construction characteristics of the mountain front and the basic tactical ideas of both sides' offense and defense. Then
Feng Annan used a computer to show several videos of offensive and defensive battles that took place on the mountain front, and commented on the performance and gains and losses of both sides in the battle. Such a data analysis method is undoubtedly much more vivid than a simple verbal description.
Finally, Mu Xiabai summarized the situation detected in the early stage: "First of all, I must draw your attention to the fact that the morale and combat capabilities of the warring troops on both sides are not as vulnerable as we imagined in advance. Although we are equipped with weapons,
We have great advantages in terms of military and tactics, but we cannot ignore the gap between our troops and our opponents in terms of combat experience and numbers. Among these monkey soldiers, there are many desperadoes who are not afraid of death, but our soldiers are
This is the first time I set foot on the battlefield. I hope commanders at all levels will pay attention to this issue and never underestimate the enemy! Although the opponent is a cold weapon unit, don't forget that cold weapons can also kill people!"
After watching the field video of the battlefield just now, everyone has a more intuitive understanding of the cruelty of cold weapon warfare. These bloody battle scenes are not Hollywood blockbusters, and they do not contain any computer special effects processing components, let alone
The action rehearsals beforehand were all real killings, cruel enough to chill people's hearts. Although the officers here all had military experience before traveling through time, none of them had actually seen such a battle scene. If
Without such intuitive reference materials, I am afraid that most of them would still face the next battle with a very relaxed attitude.
Mu Xiabai continued: "Secondly, in terms of battlefield selection, the mountain position is indeed a very good defensive position, but it is not the most ideal battlefield for our musketeers. Due to environmental constraints, both sides
The effective distance of long-range firepower output is very limited, and muskets have no range advantage at all. If musketeers are to be deployed in mountainous positions, the musketeers who must maintain a dense combat formation will be vulnerable to covering attacks by South Vietnamese archers on the edge of the dense forest.
.Therefore, I personally believe that if the South Vietnamese army chooses a landing battlefield on the flank and rear of the battle zone to launch an attack, the combat effect should be better than that of the mountain position."
This almost coincides with the basic combat plan produced by the Military and Police Department in the base camp. For this reason, the base camp also specially arranged two large-scale landing operations exercises before departure to familiarize the soldiers with how to launch an offensive from sea to land.
Of course, the difficulty of executing this kind of landing operation here must be much higher than the level of exercises in the base camp. Not only is the geographical environment unfamiliar to the Haihan Militia, but it is also likely to be attacked and harassed by opponents during the landing stage.
A slight mishap could turn into a tragedy.
"Third, based on what we know now, South Vietnam's maritime power is indeed very weak. The tonnage of their existing ships is around 20 tons, and the largest does not exceed 30 tons. Their number is very limited and is not enough
It poses a threat to us at sea. The traffic lines from here to the south to Quang Tri are also very close to the coast. I suggest that the headquarters consider sending a few more ships to carry out raids in the South Vietnamese controlled areas to attack their
Logistics supply line.”
At this point, Mu Xiabo paused, then turned to Qian Tiandun and said: "The company currently led by Lieutenant Qian has been conducting targeted field combat training. I think this company should be very suitable for carrying out this type of harassment behind enemy lines."
Task."
Qian Tiandun nodded slightly towards Mu Xiabai and expressed his gratitude. The company led by Qian Tiandun was quite special. In terms of combat ideology, it advocated offense and guerrilla warfare with rapid maneuvers, and did not even regard defensive operations as basic training.
Subject. Even if Mu Xiabai did not mention it at this time, Qian Tiandun planned to ask for a fight on his own later.
After hearing this, Yan Chujie nodded and said: "The hard work you two have done these days has not been in vain. I think this information should have sounded the alarm to everyone. Don't think that our weapons are superior and we can easily win in a casual fight. You must know
The Yuan and Ming armies had the same idea when they went south! Strategically, we can despise the monkey soldiers in South Vietnam, but we must pay enough attention when formulating and executing tactics!"
Yan Chujie looked around the crowd and saw that no one had any objections before continuing: "Let's talk about the specific combat objectives. According to the investigation results of the advance team, the current size of the South Vietnamese Army remains at more than 80,000, including combat troops and peasant soldiers.
The total number is estimated to be around 50,000. With our current strength, it is unlikely that we can completely wipe out the South Vietnamese army. Of course, we do not need to do that. So what is our combat goal? First, repel the South Vietnamese army's offensive.
At least the South Vietnamese army should be forced back to Quang Tri, three hundred miles south of the war zone, and it should be impossible for them to launch another large-scale offensive in a short period of time."
"Second, we all know that there is a musketeer unit in the South Vietnamese Army, but the South Vietnamese Army did not invest this unit in the offensive and defensive battles in the mountain positions. It seems that they also have knowledgeable people over there. Our goal is to achieve success.
To eliminate this force in an organic manner, even if it cannot be completely eliminated, at least it must be maimed and disabled, and North Vietnam's military superiority must be guaranteed to a certain extent."
When Yan Chujie said this, he saw Qian Tiandun raising his hand and nodded to signal him to ask a question.
Qian Tiandun said: "The Executive Committee used to hope that the North and the South would maintain a balance of power, but now it proposes to ensure North Vietnam's military superiority. Does this mean that the Executive Committee's attitude has changed?"
"There is a slight change in the Vietnam policy." Yan Chujie did not deny this, and at the same time he also gained a new understanding of Qian Tiandun's political sensitivity.
Yan Chujie took a sip of hot tea calmly, and then explained: "Based on the various information we currently have, there should have been large-scale Western forces involved in South Vietnam. Judging from the time, it must be longer than ours.
Entering North Vietnam earlier. If left unchecked, it will become increasingly difficult for us to control the South Vietnam region in the future. The Executive Committee believes that it is necessary to use the power of North Vietnam to attack the Western forces in South Vietnam - as for why it is not up to us
I personally take action, I believe everyone here should understand."
Yan Chujie really does not need to speak too thoroughly. These matters have been discussed repeatedly in the Military and Police Department. The current maritime power possessed by the Crossing Group is not enough to be an enemy of Western forces. The consequences of rashly showing off one's own signs are very likely to be
It is asking for trouble. And for the Chuanchuan Group, in addition to being competitors for future territory expansion, Western forces are also targets for developing maritime trade. The executive committee is now bent on building Sanya into the largest free place in the entire South China Sea region.
Of course, a trading port will not exclude making money from Western countries. It is better to try not to break your face if you can.
Yan Chujie stopped the conversation and returned to the topic: "The two points I mentioned earlier are the main combat goals of our operation. As for the strategic significance of showing off force, deterring the Annan regime, and training the troops, I
No more clichés, everyone knows it. I particularly agree with what Lao Mu just said. The battlefield we choose must suit our own fighting style, rather than passively carrying out pure defense. Especially the muskets of the South Vietnamese Army
Troops, if they just stick to the mountain defense line, the other side will definitely not let this troop enter the battlefield, so it is very necessary to open a second battlefield in the warring area!"
"No one should argue with me about this investigation mission, right?" Wang Tom, who had been sitting silently next to Yan Chujie, finally spoke.
Wang Tom joined the expeditionary force as chief of staff this time. It can be said that it exceeded many people's expectations - after being entrusted with important tasks by the executive committee several times and successfully completing the tasks, most people thought that he would
At least he could get a deputy commander, but he didn't expect Harugong to come out and steal the position.
Wang Tom himself didn't particularly care. Compared with other members of the military and police department who were keen on commanding large forces to attack cities and plunder territories, Wang Tom was more eager to command an armed fleet across the seven seas to conduct operations at sea. And the staff
The position of commander is indeed not low. It is the fourth highest position in the entire expeditionary force with more than 1,800 people. It also has great authority and can fully mobilize all the water forces gathered in Yong'an Port at this time.
Yan Chujie proposed to open a second battlefield in the war zone or even behind enemy lines, so it would be necessary to conduct close reconnaissance of the southern coastal areas, and even ashore reconnaissance of possible landing areas. This kind of operation must be risky. And
Wang Tom has rich sailing experience and relatively comprehensive military skills. He has the basic abilities required by the scouts such as surveying and mapping, communications, field survival, and individual combat. Moreover, the sailboat most suitable for this task is none other than You.
The "Speed" catamaran he has been driving for a long time, under various conditions, this task is almost tailor-made for him.
But to Tom Wang's surprise, someone next to him raised his hand.
Qian Tiandun raised his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to compete with you for this task, I just intend to work with you to carry out this task."
Tom Wang said: "Just you?"
"Of course not." Qian Tiandun shook his head: "If there is such an opportunity for training, then I must bring my company with me. If there is a raid to be fought in the future, then it must be my people who perform the task. We must first
They just have to take them there to familiarize themselves with the environment."
Both of them looked very relaxed, as if this was just an ordinary field exercise, but everyone here knew the danger of this kind of action. If a company of musketeers was blocked on the shore by thousands of South Vietnamese troops,
Then the little advantage they have in weapons can hardly offset the huge disadvantage in numbers. The danger is definitely greater than that of a large force forming a battle line and covered by powerful artillery fire and fortifications. However, as the two parties involved, they both regard this
The task is regarded as a good opportunity to prove one's professional ability, and the excitement in my heart is far greater than the fear.
So Yan Chujie decided to hand over the next investigation mission to Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun. However, Wang Tom's "Speed" had limited loading capacity. In order to bring Qian Tiandun's special operations company, it had to be mobilized.
"Discovery" set sail together to perform this mission - this is also the ship with the smallest speed gap between the entire fleet and the catamaran. If these two ships go out to perform the mission, even if it is not smooth, at least they can get away smoothly.
In South Vietnam's pursuit at sea, not to mention that the "Discovery" is equipped with several artillery pieces, which can also provide certain fire support and cover for our own troops near the coast.
Of course, Tom Wang is not alone. He is also joined by his good friends Qiao Zhiya, Roger, Shi Diwen and old Morgan. Moreover, the various advanced weapons loaded on the "Speed" are also their confidence
An important source. With a large number of automatic weapons as protection, even if these guys really encounter the enemy, they will probably stop and fight before considering retreat.
The agenda of the following meeting basically focused on discussing the route of the investigation operation and the details of the itinerary. Everyone did not disperse to rest until late at night.
Early the next morning, the first people to set off from the temporary dock were not Wang Tom and others, but Mu Xiabai, Feng Annan and Zheng Bai's second son, Zheng Ting, the military commander of the North Vietnamese training force. They would take the boat to fight.
District, informed Zheng Bai of the good news that the reinforcements had arrived, and further communicated on the next battle plan. In the battle plan planned by the Military and Police Department, there were still many areas that required the cooperation of the North Vietnamese Army.
An hour after their boat left the dock, Qian Tiandun and his company also came to the dock to assemble.
Chapter completed!
