Even if it is a one-claw flag, it is better than the bare black flag in my hand now.
"Okay, since the division commander is so confident, let's take a gamble this time. But I don't know who to send to complete the task of disturbing and provoking the enemy?" Liu Chen finally approved the plan and put forward an extremely practical proposal.
The problem.
"I will go in person." Lei Ming patted his chest, "I don't trust anyone who would entrust such a task to me. Moreover, I have excellent archery skills, so I am the most suitable to complete this task."
"Commander, go in person, that won't work." Liu Chen's head shook like a drum as soon as he heard the thunder and risked his life. According to military discipline in the Great China Army, military officers above the regiment level cannot go to the battlefield in person unless necessary.
, otherwise if there is a danger, it will cause irreparable losses and bring turmoil to the battlefield to the army.
"Oh, my chief of staff, now is not the time to worry about those things. The rules are dead, but people are alive. After the task is completed, if Your Majesty wants to punish you, you must bear it." Lei Ming refused to reason and argued.
When Liu Chen heard the words, he knew that the division commander was determined, and he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade him. In addition, this mission was indeed dangerous and important, so he was not worried about sending someone else there. "Okay.
, Even so, if His Majesty holds the responsibility in the future, we will bear it together."
The chief of staff finally agreed, and Lei Ming burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, with our concerted efforts, no one will be our opponent."
After being reviewed by Liu Chen and the staff, Lei Ming's combat plan was approved. Soon afterwards, Lei Ming got close to the elites of the 500th and 4th Division, took their weapons and left the main camp, heading straight towards the direction of the South Vietnamese reinforcements.
Welcoming him.
Speaking of which, Lei Ming's battle plan is not complicated. It can be summed up in two words: resistance and stimulation.
Blocking means interfering with the enemy's progress in order to block the enemy's progress and slow down the enemy's speed.
As for provoking, it means provoking the other party to catch up and fight according to their preparations. Otherwise, if such a vast lake needs to be defended, 30,000 people will definitely not be enough.
...
Fifty thousand South Vietnamese troops and fifty thousand Yunnan troops were marching slowly towards Eling Lake in spite of the cold weather.
From there to Shangducheng, it is undoubtedly the shortest route. If it is summer, you need to consider going around the lake. Now, in the cold season, the lake is frozen into ice, so that they can take a straight line
The way of marching came to the foot of Shangdu City.
The scouts have also sent news that the Dahua army is still under the city and has not left. But it doesn't matter, it only takes two days to get to Eling Lake from here, and it doesn't take one day to get to Shangdu from there. In other words, after three days they
You can reach your destination.
They just wanted Shangdu City to be defended for three days, and they were completely confident.
Among the marching troops, South Vietnamese General Che Keming was wrapped in a thick fur cloak and would squint his eyes from time to time while riding on his horse.
The weather here is too cold. There has never been such a climate in South Vietnam. If the prince of Daqianjian State hadn't taken the initiative to ask for help this time and said that as long as he entered Qingzhou, he could take any good things he saw, then they really wouldn't have done anything.
Will definitely come to rescue Shangdu City.
The Dahua army is very annoying. After occupying Qingzhou, it is true that they are also a threat to them, but so what, South Vietnam is not Goryeo, let alone Beidi. Over the years, they have unified the entire South Vietnam after bloody battles, and the territory is still
It has expanded thousands of kilometers to the south and is now very powerful.
Even when Da Qian was strong in the past, they could still compete with each other. Now they only occupy the country of China in Kyushu, which is really not in their eyes.
Even judging from Qie Keming, I am afraid that the current Dahua army has begun to prepare to withdraw from Shangdu City after learning the news of his arrival. If that is the case, this operation is not a war at all, but a It's just a picnic, it's just a process in which the enemy flees upon hearing the news and strides forward leisurely.
There was really no challenge, so Qie Keming couldn't muster any energy. He walked slowly and unhurriedly in the team. He had already begun to imagine in his mind how many beauties the people there would offer him after going to the capital city. Not to mention, fucking a girl is still very good and quite enjoyable.
In contrast, the face of Dianzhou General Zhang Shuo not far away was not so relaxed.
Unlike the South Vietnamese Army, which had its eyes high above its head, the Dianzhou Army still knew what it was going to do and who it was going to face.
For example, the Canglang Battalion has been active in the territory of Dianzhou, but they have not gained any advantage after several encirclement and suppression campaigns. Instead, they have suffered considerable losses. And the Canglang Battalion is a member of the Dahua Army.
As the saying goes, "One spot reveals the whole leopard." I guess the Dahua army is not easy to mess with.
Otherwise, we would not have destroyed Goryeo first, weakened the Western Barbarians, and then overthrown Beidi. How can someone who can achieve such achievements be so easy to provoke?
It's just that they had been moving around in the north before, so they pretended to be invisible. But now, they finally have a close contact. It is impossible to say that Zhang Shuo is not nervous at all.
Now he had to put all his hopes on the South Vietnamese army, hoping that they could defeat the Chinese army, so that they could also take advantage of it.
There was still hope at first, but when we saw these South Vietnamese troops passing Shuzhou and entering Qingzhou, they were all so tortured by the weather here that they huddled together like the third grandson. Zhang Shuo suddenly looked down upon them.
I can’t say that I’m worried. Commander-in-Chief Li Xuantong told him before he came that this time he was mainly cooperating with the South Vietnamese Army. He would fight as others told him. But he must not make others unhappy, otherwise he would get angry. If you kill yourself next time, you deserve it.
This made Zhang Shuo feel like he was the same person, so why was there such a big gap?
Since I can't say anything, I can only place my treasure on the South Vietnamese Army, hoping that once they see the Dahua Army, they will change from the frozen third grandson to a little tiger, showing their sharp teeth. Of course. , the best situation is that the Dahua army will take the initiative to withdraw its troops, and the problem will be solved without fighting. This is the most perfect result.
Zhang Shuo, imagining that everything would go well and praying that everything would go well, then closed his eyes, rode on the horse, and walked slowly in the team under the pull of Ma Bian's arms.
The weather was so cold that dozens of people suffered severe frostbite when setting up camp. There was nothing that could be done about this, but not every army was as wealthy as Dahua and had such complete logistics and combat plans. This Coming to Qingzhou was an unexpected event, and there was not much preparation time, so most of the soldiers below were dressed a little thinly.
During the march, the army was squeezing and didn't feel anything, but as soon as it stopped, especially after the dry firewood had been burned in the middle of the night, ice injuries naturally appeared.
These dozens of people belong to the group with severe frostbite and have basically lost their combat effectiveness. There are many more people with mild frostbite, some with direct colds, some with runny noses, and some with fever.
In this era, it is said that we are suffering from the cold.
In just one night, nearly a thousand soldiers had problems, and this situation was only going to get worse. After all, colds and fevers are contagious.
When the news reached Qi Keming, who was wearing a thick cloak, in the morning, he was somewhat unhappy. He couldn't help but curse casually: "A bunch of useless fools, something went wrong before they even went to the battlefield.
They deserve their bad fate and have no chance to make meritorious deeds."
He just sighed casually, and then ordered the dozens of seriously ill soldiers to return to Dianzhou. Qie Keming took the others and continued on their way. In such cold weather, as for whether these dozens of people could
Walking back is not what he cares about. In South Vietnam and Daqian, there is nothing else. As long as there is food to eat, recruiting soldiers is still a very easy thing.
The army continued to set off, heading straight towards Xanadu and facing the cold wind. But just ten miles in front of them, Lei Ming was already waiting with five hundred elite soldiers.
Compared to the thinly dressed and listless soldiers of the South Vietnamese and Yunnan soldiers, Lei Ming's five hundred people were much better off. Each person had a warm sleeping bag, the kind that would feel a little cold when you first enter, but the more you sleep, the warmer you get.
That kind of.
Not every soldier has such sleeping bags. They are mostly distributed to elite troops and scouts who are responsible for inquiring about information. However, the Fourth Field Army has tens of thousands of troops, so some are allocated. This time when Thunder came out
, all five hundred soldiers were issued sleeping bags to ensure that there would be no non-combat attrition.
Yesterday afternoon, we marched all the way quickly. After we approached the interception point, we hid the horses. Then we ate dried meat and drank warm water to rest. Now that we have slept early in the morning, everyone is full of energy.
Lei Ming also started making various arrangements after waking up early in the morning. "Quickly, the target is about to appear. The gifts that should be prepared for them are all laid out. Friends are coming from afar, so it is necessary to say hello."
Under the leadership of the division commander, five hundred elite soldiers were preparing in an orderly manner. Each soldier wore a cloak with the same color as the heavy snow, and their figures turned into small dots, disappearing and appearing, constantly retreating, and retreating again.
The official road to Eling Lake was also dug with holes everywhere, which were soon covered with snow. When the cold wind blew, no traces could be seen.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the sun has risen high and shines on people, giving them a warm feeling. This is also the beginning of the day when the temperature rises, and it is the time when soldiers feel the warmest.
