There is no experience of facing the enemy head-on, and no experience of large corps participating in the war. So once the day of war actually breaks out, because the soldiers' military quality is not up to standard, or their courage is too small, once there are deserters during the impact, the consequences will be It's very scary.
Shaking the morale of the army is one thing. Once deserters appear, the most terrifying thing is for others to follow suit. If you do it wrong, it will reverse the good situation. By then it will be too late to regret it.
Not to mention, this time the 30,000 Canglang Battalion will face hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops. If they are not strong enough, let alone kill the enemy, it will be a blessing to be able to escape intact. And this is something Li Chuxiang will never allow to happen.
In this way, there were several military exercises and these wounded people were produced. Fortunately, the pressure was relieved. When news came that the Huns army had begun to launch a general offensive and passed through both sides of Pingcheng, Cang Cang The Wolf Camp has also completed all the exercises. All the soldiers are no longer unfamiliar with the battlefield. They can also make good use of the sinking knives in their hands and can also use various tactics on the battlefield.
The battlefield is always the most effective way to check the strength of the army.
Now it's finally the turn of Canglang Camp to show off its sword!
When they received information that the Huns had appeared behind Pingcheng, the Canglang Battalion, which was only a hundred miles away from Pingcheng in a straight line, began to prepare for action.
In the hotel tent, the last military meeting was taking place.
Chief of Staff Feng Ping conveyed the orders to the six regiment commanders one by one. The first regiment commander Lu Tian, the second regiment commander Jiu She, the third regiment commander Ma Yihui, the fourth regiment commander Lin Zheng, the fifth regiment commander Shi Feng, the sixth regiment commander Wu Jia stood in front of the sand table respectively, bearing in mind their respective tasks and missions.
It took more than half an hour for Chief of Staff Feng Ping to convey the orders one by one, the most important of which was to explain the defense zones of the six regiment commanders, and the ones closer to the six regiments that were ready to accept captured soldiers. and a gathering place for the city's wounded soldiers.
This time, in order to cooperate with the military operations of the Canglang Battalion, the General Participation Military Aircraft Department dispatched a total of 100,000 reserve soldiers. They were responsible for logistics support work, which included issues of feeding, wounded, replacement of war horses and concentration of captured soldiers when necessary. etc.
All in all, in one sentence, the soldiers of the Canglang Battalion are responsible for fighting, and they don’t need to care or pay attention to other things. This is very similar to the Battle of Huaihai in later generations. The number of our troops was only a few hundred thousand, but the personnel in the rear were There are millions of them that are the same.
After Feng Ping said what he should explain again, he stopped talking, and then looked at the brigade commander Li Chuxiang who had not spoken.
After coughing lightly and diverting everyone's attention, Li Chuxiang spoke. "Chief of Staff Feng has already explained everything to you, so I won't repeat it here. Next, our six regiments will be divided into The three batches are responsible for the north, east and west respectively. The chief of staff leads the fourth and fifth regiments, the second regiment commander Jiu She leads the second and third regiments, and the brigade commander is responsible for the first and sixth regiments."
"Normally, we each perform our duties and are responsible for one direction. When we encounter a small group of enemies, we mainly focus on scattered attacks. If possible, we capture as many prisoners as possible and then send them to a nearby assembly area, where they can naturally Someone will arrange everything. Once we encounter the main force of the Huns, we will fight if we can. If the conditions are not enough, or if we lack confidence, we will try our best to entangle him, and then send signals to other friendly forces. At that time, we will work together to encircle him. The strategy of annihilation."
"Please remember that if someone lets the enemy escape in the area he is responsible for, he will be held accountable later, and it is possible that he may be dismissed from office or be beheaded at worst. On the contrary, if someone has made military exploits,
I, the brigade commander, will personally request your Majesty's orders and express his merits."
"In short, it's just a sentence. The fighter plane is right in front of us. It's time to pull out the mule or the horse. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" All the generals responded immediately, and then their eyes showed full fighting spirit.
"Very good, that's it, let's go prepare ourselves. The next battlefield will be left to your own command, but you must remember that the bird contact cannot be interrupted, even if there is no enemy situation within three hours
We also need to report, do you understand?" After Li Chuxiang reiterated the necessity of battlefield contact, he waved his hand and asked the group leaders to retreat.
Then the brigade tents began to be put away, and it was obvious that the army was about to leave. Chief of Staff Feng Ping came to Li Chuxiang and said, "Brigadier Commander, you are responsible for the security of the north, which is very dangerous. Our staff department has made an estimate before
, it is very likely that the Xiongnu army will enter Guzhou, after all, the vast land there is more suitable for them to survive."
"Well, I will be careful. But the chief of staff is responsible for the security of the east, which is also very critical. No one can guarantee whether the Huns will take the wrong direction. You must be careful too." Li Chuxiang nodded,
He also spoke with concern.
"Yes, brigade commander, please rest assured. If the Huns really want to break out from the east and enter Liaozhou, a certain general will lead the fourth and fifth regiments to hold them back." Feng Ping also expressed respect.
He promised with a military salute.
And not long after, this originally lively training place was deserted. Not only that, even the things that people pulled and horses chewed were cleaned up. If you hadn't looked for it carefully, you wouldn't have seen it at all.
It turns out that a cavalry team of tens of thousands was once stationed here.
As the third person in the brigade, Jiu She was assigned to guard the western battlefield.
Speaking of which, this is a kind of trust in Jiu She. After all, the commander of the first regiment, Lu Tian, has been with the brigade commander Li Chuxiang for a long time. In terms of qualifications, he is far more senior than him, but he does not have the power to lead troops alone, and this
Jiu She was very touched that the errand fell on him.
But what really moved him more was that he was arranged to the west. It can be said that this was entirely for his safety. After all, everyone knew that the Huns' goal was to go north to rebuild the Di Kingdom. Then they might go to Guzhou
Entering the old land of Beidi from the east; it is also possible that the troops will leave Liaozhou, fight towards Jizhou and then enter the old land of Beidi. But they will not come from the west, because that will lead to the land of the Western Barbarians. Where can the Huns go?
beneficial?
The west is the place where enemies are least likely to appear. This is where Jiu She is guarding. This is a real kind of protection.
However, this is not what Jiushe wants. It is precisely because the brigade commander and chief of staff are protecting him invisibly that he has the idea of doing meritorious service. So after receiving the order, he took the second regiment and the third regiment.
After the regiment's 10,000 cavalrymen marched fifty miles to the west, Jiu She called the commander of the third regiment, Ma Yihui, and explained to him what he was thinking.
"What? Captain She wants to take the initiative to attack?" Ma Yihui said in surprise after hearing Jiu She's thoughts.
"Yes. To be honest, this time we guard the west. It's not that it's not necessary, but it's not of great significance. After all, even if the Huns have a brain cramp, if they really decide to march to the west, then
The pace of our horses can also catch up with them. You must know that the number of cavalry in the Huns army is not very large. The intelligence has said that they have many family members. How can they go fast? In view of this situation,
There is absolutely no need to place a large number of troops in the west. Even so, one of our two regiments should be sent to guard the west. The other regiment should stay as a mobile force to take the initiative to find fighter opportunities."
There is no doubt about Jiu She's military ability. This is a person that even Tang Ao values very much. In addition, his analysis is indeed reasonable and reasonable. Even Ma Yihui couldn't help but nod after hearing this. But questions followed him, "
Even so, Commander She, why is it that your second regiment is left here, but our third regiment is asked to go to the west to defend and do meaningless things?"
"Huh? What does Commander Ma mean?" Jiu She's face turned serious. It is said that he is the commander of the west designated by Li Chuxiang and Feng Ping. Whatever decision he makes, others can only obey. Even Ma Yihui and
He is also the leader and is no exception.
But now, the other party has questioned his decision, and Jiu She will naturally be dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that he was General Beidi before him, Ma Yihui is a straight-up man, and the current Great Chinese, he is afraid
He can give orders directly instead of saying these words in a consultative tone.
Noticing the seeming displeasure on Jiu She's face, Ma Yihui said as if he hadn't heard it: "Captain She, what you mean is that since the west side is not that important, and even if something goes wrong, we can rely on our own
To make up for the speed advantage, why send a regiment of troops there? Wouldn't that be too wasteful? It would be better to just leave a battalion of men and horses. The main force of our third regiment is also willing to stay with Commander She.
it's here."
"Uh..." I originally thought that Ma Yihui wanted to compete with him for the task to stay, but Jiu She was already thinking about how to convince him. Unexpectedly, he just wanted to stay.
This is what the heroes saw. Jiu She's expression changed rapidly for a moment, and then turned into a burst of laughter: "Haha, okay, even Captain Ma also has this idea, then let's do it by
Your third regiment will send one battalion to the west to keep an eye on the movement there, and the rest will stay with our second regiment."
"Haha, it couldn't be better." After hearing this, Ma Yihui also laughed. For a time, the laughter of the two people spread around, causing other cavalry soldiers to also laugh. Although they did not know what happened
What happened? But if the leader is so happy, there must be something good going on.
