Chapter 372 Black Eagle Army Bagship Team that took the shortcut
Captain Wang Yuning was very depressed. As the highest commander stationed in Huadicheng, he had not been very good in Huadicheng in the past half month.
Not to mention there are no major generals, colonels, lieutenant colonels, and even majors. In the entire kingdom, he, the captain, is the highest commander. Those rich but lowly kingdoms, aren't they wagging their tails and begging for mercy to him, Wang Yuning?
Not to mention that even half a pound of gold bars were lenient, even those beautiful girls in the lowly kingdom cottages, Wang Yuning had slept several times. It depends on his mood. When he was in a bad mood, the vulgar team leader under his command went there. Will there be a talented captain who is as gentle as a talented captain?
However, the so-called ladies of the kingdoms tasted really good! I think it was not much worse than the ladies of the famous families in the royal capital. Wang Yuning, who had never been seen by those rich ladies in the Black Hawk Empire, rode a tall horse and thought happily.
However, such a wonderful day was completely destroyed by a military order, and the front line was in urgent need of emergency military supplies. Conghua Diecheng needed to mobilize military supplies to provide support to the division, and they had to arrive within a week.
That was nearly 200 kilometers away. There was not even a truck in the entire Huadicheng, so you could only use a carriage. The damn kingdom did not even have a road. On those bumpy yellow roads, being able to travel 60 miles a day was the fastest speed.
Wang Yuning knew very well what the consequences would be if he did not arrive according to the time specified in the military order. At that time, he was just a captain, even a major and a lieutenant colonel, and he might be executed by the division commander in front of the army. I heard that the division commander was in a bad mood recently.
Fortunately, a small platoon leader in the Independent Brigade who was responsible for escorting him knew that the shortcut to Anwupo was a mountain road, but it was 60 miles away. Now it is only 30 miles away from Anwupo, so you should arrive before dinner today! There is still one night before the military order.
Thinking of the telegram sent to the division headquarters last night when he was stationed in the wilderness, Wang Yuning had a headache. What reasons should he use to explain it to the division headquarters?
When Wang Yuning thought of the sudden burst of fireworks that he had just discovered, he became even more irritable. The kingdom army on the entire ancient city defense line should be gathered at the key passes, and it would be impossible for them to appear in this deserted mountain ridge with no meaning to garrison.
In such a place, even if it can be easily crossed, a unit with only light weapons is as strong as the Imperial Army, and no commander will make that stupid decision. World War I has proved that if an army without artillery support encounters an enemy with artillery, the consequences will be really miserable.
Although the transport team of thousands of people had been staying in place for more than 30 minutes, Wang Yuning had to send vanguards to conduct reconnaissance. He transported nearly 5,000 shells of various types, 100,000 bullets and various essential military supplies. If something went wrong, he might not be able to extinguish the anger of the division commander.
The vanguard sent was affiliated with a small team of the third team under his command. Although these trivial tasks should be handed over to the kingdoms of the Independent Brigade, Wang Yuning did not trust those kingdoms. He was not afraid that they would betray the empire, but he instinctively trusted the soldiers under his command more. The poor performance of those stupid kingdoms on the front line had already reached Captain Wang's ears, and their combat power was too low.
Finally, Wang Yuning waited for the report of the squad leader Sergeant who had completed reconnaissance on the mountain 500 meters away.
By the time they had taken ten minutes to arrive, the kingdoms who ignited the fire had escaped, but based on the grass nests they had not demolished, the traces of life scattered around them, and the feces that were scattered everywhere, they were not soldiers, but indigenous mountain people living here or groups called bandits by the kingdoms.
It has to be said that the veterans of the Black Hawk Empire Army during this period are very strong in individual soldiers. They have never seen the four Qinglong Mountain bandits who have already escaped. They have analyzed their identities from the traces of life alone. The traces of inaction when they escaped, the poor food residues, and the irregular traces of urination and defecation were all the basis for their judgment.
"Okay, those foolish kingdoms don't have to worry about them anymore. We will deal with them when the Imperial Army captures their entire line of defense. Now, let's set off quickly!" Wang Yuning nodded with satisfaction and urged the rebels who had just arranged their defense to set off quickly.
The person responsible for reinforcement of Wang Yuning's infantry squadron transporting military supplies was a battalion of the independent brigade who was defeated and kicked out of the periphery when he was defeated on the Anwupo defense line. Although the battalion commander was a major, he could only obey the command of an infantry squadron leader whose master was lower than his rank.
However, the major battalion commander, who commanded the number of 600 soldiers far higher than the number 200 of an infantry squadron of the Black Hawk Army, did not have the consciousness of a major. Instead, after receiving the order from Captain Wang Yuning, he nodded and bowed and received the military order with a flattering face, and shouted that the rebels who had been tired for a long time and had not had time to repair it quickly.
Although the rebels showed dissatisfaction, no one resisted. According to the tactical guidance given to them by the master of the Black Hawk Empire, one company was in front, one company was in the middle, and one company was behind. Each team maintained a distance of 200 meters, protecting an infantry squadron and more than 30 carriages in the center of the team began to slowly continue on the narrow mountain road.
I have to say that this is a numb army, and this is also a group of numb soldiers.
At least, Mo Xiaomao, who was observing this 3-mile marching team from 600 meters away from the scope, thought so.
It was not until Chen Yunfa and Mo Xiaomao led nearly 600 "mobs" to the location of discovering the Black Eagle Army under the leadership of the four bandit outposts they encountered on the road that they were surprised to find that the Black Eagle Army had only been on the edge of Qinglong Mountain for a short time. The direction they were moving forward was not Qinglong Mountain, but to Anwupo.

However, Chen Yunfa and Mo Xiaomao did not intend to let go of this group of Black Eagle Army that were slowly advancing on the mountain road. It was not that they were warlike, but that the more than 30 large trucks protected in that team were really tempting.
Although the second-hand man who was extremely eager for food did not have the same desire as before, from his point of view, it would be better not to fight. But the two special forces knew that this group of military supplies must have been transported to the 8th Division of the Anwupo front line. If he didn't fight, he would be punished by God.
But Chen Yunfa and Mo Xiaomao were a little puzzled by the mixed team of the Black Hawk Imperial Army and the rebels who transported the baggage. Didn’t they know that the 8th Division had retreated from the Anwupo Pass? According to common sense, the guards transporting such important materials should have radio stations to accompany them!
The two special forces were right. Although Wang Yuning's infantry squadron did not have the authority to be equipped with radio stations, he, as the garrison infantry squadron guarding Huadicheng, had a field radio station and could maintain necessary contact with the division headquarters.
But Captain Wang Yuning was too smart. Because he was worried that he would not be able to arrive on time, Wang Yuning played a trick. When reporting to the division headquarters last night, he stepped forward his position forty miles and told him that he would arrive at noon. Then, he took the initiative to turn off the radio.
That's right, it is common for the radio station to receive signals in the wild. If it can arrive before the limited time, it is naturally not said. If it is a little delayed, it is normal to waste time due to the enemy situation on the battlefield along the ancient city. Wang Yuning has more than a dozen reasons to justify himself.
Therefore, Wang Yuning did not receive a telegram from the headquarters to the main force of his division that had retreated.
The clever Captain Wang Yuning didn't know that the division's staff officer Xu Haiming was talking about him, and the baggage he had arrived at noon had not yet been seen? The nearly ten infantry artillery pieces in the division were about to be out of ammunition and food, which was the last heavy weapon of tens of thousands of soldiers in the division.
It can be said that Wang Yuning's baggage team was also one of the reasons why Xu Haiming dared to stop and fight in field battles with the independent regiment with cannons.
Unfortunately, Major General Xu Haiming, who was anxious, never dreamed that the baggage team he expected not only did not walk towards the main force of the 8th Division, but instead turned into the mountain and was seventy miles away from the 8th Division.
Moreover, he could no longer wait for the emergence of the baggage brigade.
