Having said that, Zhang Pan also knew that his combat skills would definitely be promoted. There should be no problem in being promoted from defense to guerrilla.
However, Chen Jisheng, as Mao Wenlong's trusted deputy, can basically confirm what he said.
"General, Choi Hyo-il, the Korean martyr, has come to pay his respects." A soldier came over to report.
Chen Jisheng nodded and walked toward the city gate tower.
Although Cui Xiaoyi did not play an internal role, he was a North Korean who had good relations with the Dongjiang Army. Like Zheng Fengshou and others, Chen Jisheng wanted to show intimacy and treat each other with courtesy.
The sun has risen, and Yiju City, which has experienced fierce battles, has returned to calm.
The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army buried pots to make rice and took the time to rest before setting out again in the afternoon to evacuate to Longchuan.
Fighting quickly and retreating quickly is certainly one of the Dongjiang Army's operational characteristics. The location of Yizhou also makes Dongjiang Army afraid to stay for a long time.
Instead of worrying too much about the Jianlu who invaded North Korea turning back to counterattack, they were worried that the Jianlu in Liaodong would get the news and cross the ice directly across the river to attack.
If the river is not frozen and the navy is positioned across the river, there will be no fear of enemy formations and it will be able to move along the river and attack at selected locations.
Guo Dajing understood before, and now he understands even more deeply, why most of Jianlu's military operations were carried out in the middle of winter.
When the river is frozen, there is no need for boats or bridges. The cavalry can cross the ice as if walking on flat ground. When attacking a city, the moat is also frozen, and there is one less obstacle.
Moreover, Jianlu grew up in Liaodong, and his adaptation to the cold was better than the extreme heat. When fighting in the hot season, wearing a helmet and armor, he was prone to heat stroke; if he did not pay attention to hygiene, he was also prone to diseases.
Whatever the enemy fears and opposes, we will do it; whatever the enemy hopes for and welcomes, we will not do it even if he kills us.
Guo Dajing thought it was as simple as that. Since Jianlu tried his best to avoid fighting when the weather was hot, he decided to attack at that time.
The Dongjiang Army is good at fighting guerrillas, which is Mao Wenlong's strategy and tactics; but Guo Dajing's understanding of guerrillas is many times better than Mao Wenlong's.
Not to mention the most refined sixteen-character formula for guerrilla warfare, which is the equipment and weapons for fighting guerrillas in the mountains and forests, Guo Dajing can also produce several high-end goods.
When I have a group of troops, I will still start with guerrilla warfare. But it is no longer exactly the Dongjiang Army's combat mode, and it will also cause a greater blow to the Jianlu.
Guo Dajing yawned and came out of the wounded soldiers camp. He continued to fight and used his unique skills to treat the wounded soldiers. Even his body felt tired.
He wanted to find a place to rest, but Guo Dajing found it a little embarrassing. There were Dongjiang Army soldiers all over the city, and he didn't know which way he belonged.
It stands to reason that he is the flag officer of Kashima who stays at night. However, the troops from Kashima went through the battle of Longchuan to attack the city and blocked the rebels. They suffered heavy casualties, so they temporarily stayed in Longchuan.
How far in the city do we have to walk to find Zhou Qing and others? It was so shaky that Guo Dajing couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Guo Dajing——" Someone suddenly called him, with a haha laugh, "Guo Qiguan, haha."
Guo Dajing turned his head and saw that it was Shang Kexi and Li Weiluan, guarded by several soldiers, walking over with a smile. It was Shang Kexi who greeted them.
"I have seen two generals." Guo Dajing hurriedly saluted.
Li Weiluan waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite. We feel relieved when we see you."
"I asked several people, and they all said they didn't see you." Shang Kexi looked Guo Dajing up and down, nodded, and said, "I am worried that you will be trampled and injured by the cavalry charging into the city!"
What are you looking at? I have to do it all, and nothing will happen to me.
Guo Dajing laughed twice and said, "Thank you two generals for your concern."
Guo Dajing is trying hard to change his speaking problem. Now he only speaks slower but no longer stutters.
Shang Kexi stretched out a finger and emphasized: "A certain person said that as long as the city is successfully bombed, the credit of being the first to reach the city will be yours. With this credit, you can raise the general flag even if you say nothing."
"The general flag is affirmative." Li Weiluan looked at Guo Dajing with unabashed admiration and said, "Coupled with your previous military exploits, it is very possible to be promoted to the Hundred Household Examination."
Guo Dajing was not very familiar with these official titles. They sounded very powerful, and he didn't know how many soldiers he could give.
He only knows that the small flag should control ten soldiers, and the five small flags are one general flag, which is fifty people; if a hundred households can take five general flags, that is two hundred and five!
After hesitating for a moment, he humbly asked for advice: "How many soldiers does this test hundred households have?"
"You want to lead troops to fight." Li Weiluan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "This test is just a job title, but it does not clearly determine the number of troops to lead. Even for guerrillas like me, the number of troops under our command is not the same
one."
Oh! Guo Dajing understood, what is the general banner, trying hundreds of households, it is a level. It is similar to later generations, some deputy section level can manage dozens of people, and some section level only has one elder brother.
Shang Kexi rolled his eyes and said to Guo Dajing: "How many troops do you want to lead? If it's three to five hundred, I can arrange it."
Li Weiluan smiled and shook his head, and said to Shang Kexi: "Old Shang, you are not being honest!"
Shang Kexi was also a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Zhang Pan was not here. He smiled and said: "Just talking casually. I also see Guo Dajing's outstanding military exploits. Being a small flag officer is a bit unfair!"
This kind of poaching thing is really easy to talk about or not to hear. Regardless of the distance of the relationship, if the reputation spreads among the Dongjiang Army, it will be embarrassing to meet in the future.
Li Weiluan changed the topic and asked: "Guo Xiaoqi, where are you from Liaodong?"
Guo Dajing answered truthfully: "A native of Jinzhou Daheishan was forcibly moved to Qingtaiyu at the end of last year. He escaped from his humble position and joined the army for only a month."
Li Weiluan nodded and said: "I have heard of this, and it was Jianlu Li Qigu who did it. Unfortunately, our army in Lushun was not strong enough to prevent Jianlu's atrocities."
Lushun belonged to Jinzhou, but the Dongjiang Army could only occupy the Lushun area, but did not take Jinzhou into its hands.
The reason is still insufficient strength. On land, without the barrier of the sea, Jianlu can attack at any time.
Because Lushun is shielded by fjords and mountains, it is somewhat dangerous to defend. However, if you want to occupy the entire Jinzhou and your troops are scattered, there are not many dangers that you can rely on. When the Jianlu come to attack, they will most likely have to retreat to Lushun.
Zhang Pan, the general of the Dongjiang Army, once attempted to occupy Jinzhou, but failed in the Nanguan battle and died for his country. Lushun was also captured by the Jianlu, and the soldiers and civilians were massacred.
Although the Dongjiang Army rebuilt the Lushun Fortress after the Jianlu retreated, its power in southern Liaoning was severely shrunk and its aggressiveness was also greatly reduced.
In fact, there is a way for the Dongjiang Army to occupy Jinzhou. In addition to relatively sufficient troops, that is the plan put forward by Wu Zhiwang, the governor of Denglai who succeeded Yuan Keli.
