"In addition, this location is a good place for an ambush. As long as I know the route of the Mongolian bandits in advance and set up an ambush here, I am confident that I can defeat the Mongolian bandits in one fell swoop!"
As he spoke, Zhu Chuanwu picked up the teaching stick on the table and pointed at a place called "Nine Head Mountains".
Jiutou Mountain has high mountains and deep valleys, with dense jungles on both sides, which is very suitable for ambush. At the same time, according to the previous intelligence survey, this is the place where the Mongolian bandits must pass.
After listening to Chuanwu's speech, Li Jie nodded with satisfaction. This guy's analysis was very good, but he was just a little too confident. Of course, confidence is not a bad thing, as long as it doesn't turn into arrogance.
After Zhu Chuanwu finished his analysis, the rest of the people began to express their opinions.
Among them, a gentle, round-faced man wearing black-rimmed glasses took over the conversation and spoke.
"Captain, I think the situation is not as optimistic as imagined, although the Mongolian bandits are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of weapons and equipment and personal strength."
"But compared to us, the Mongolian bandits are more familiar with the terrain, and the Mongolian people are more good at riding and shooting. They also have more horses than us. It is very difficult to force them to a designated position on the vast grassland.
things."
"In addition, there is Mao Zi behind the Meng bandits. This must be guarded against. My subordinates speculate that perhaps the Meng bandits have received news of the army's departure at this time."
"The battalion commander said before that whoever has the intelligence will take the initiative in the war."
"Now, the Mongolian bandits have mastered our information, but our understanding of them is limited to information on paper."
"Second!"
Just as the round-faced man finished speaking, a muscular man stepped forward and said.
"The second battalion commander is right. The Mongolian bandits have repeatedly been suppressed. We must not despise each other. Just as the regiment commander taught us before, strategically, we can despise the enemy, but tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy.
.”
"In this encirclement and suppression, we need to be prepared for a protracted war."
"First of all, I think the current time is not a perfect opportunity to attack. In spring, the grassland is thawing and the roads are muddy. Whether it is marching or pursuing, it will have a great impact on the team."
"Secondly, even in summer, we cannot take it lightly when facing dry grasslands. In summer, mosquitoes on the grasslands can bite people to death."
Everyone else looked stern when they heard this. Although what Gao Yuan said was a bit exaggerated, the mosquitoes on the grassland are indeed a big threat. The mosquitoes here rely on sucking the blood of sheep, wolves and various wild animals.
grown up.
Therefore, these mosquitoes can easily spread various diseases. If corresponding protective measures are not taken, the number of non-combat casualties may even exceed the combat casualties.
Looking at everyone's serious faces, Li Jie smiled and nodded, indicating that Gao Yuan was right, and then told everyone another piece of news.
"What the third battalion commander said is right, but there is no need to worry too much about this. The mosquito prevention medicine is already on its way."
As early as when he received the news of the failure of the Qing army's encirclement and suppression campaign, Li Jie had made preparations for the expedition to Taonan, so the relevant preparations had already been made.
For example, mosquito repellent, and another example, the movements of Tao Ke Tao Hu.
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene immediately understood that this was right, this was the boss they knew.
At this moment, Fourth Battalion Commander Guo Songling stood up.
"What the brothers said is very good, but there is one thing I want to add."
"The reason why the Mongolian bandits are highly mobile is entirely because they have no shortage of horses, but the Mongolian horses have a weakness that we can take advantage of. They are not war horses in the true sense.
"These Mongolian horses have been herded by the Mongolian people since they were young, and the most commonly used tool for herding by the Mongolian people is the horse roping pole. If things go on like this, when the Mongolian horses see the horse roping pole, they will either panic or give in obediently!"
"Therefore, we can make some horse roping poles during the march so that the brothers can practice more."
"In addition, these horses have most likely not been exposed to artillery fire. If there is a head-on battle, the second battalion commander can fire a few damn guns first to scare the Mongolian bandits' horses."
Guo Songling, courtesy name Maochen, was a native of Fengtian and one of the future senior generals of the Fengtian warlords. He won the trust of Zhang Yuting and his son.
At the age of 22, he entered the Fengtian Army Primary School founded by Zhao Erxun. At the age of 23, he was selected to study at the Fengtian Army Accelerated School. At the age of 24, he graduated with honors.
After completing his apprenticeship, he served as the sentry commander (platoon leader) of the Shengjing General Yamen Guards. According to the original historical trajectory, Guo Songling would follow Zhao Erxun's general Zhu Qinglan into Sichuan.
But Guo Songling's fate changed in this life. Li Jie intercepted Hu in advance and dropped this person into his own team. Now he serves as the company commander under Zhu Chuanwu.
When Zhu Chuanwu heard this suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted Guo Songling on the shoulder happily. After all, Guo Songling was a company commander under his command, and the other party's proposal of such an excellent suggestion was tantamount to giving him a face in disguise.
"Well, Mao Chen is right."
What Guo Songling could think of, Li Jie could naturally think of. The reason why he didn't say anything was mainly to train everyone's abilities. If everything had been arranged by him in advance.
How can this group of people take control in the future?
In fact, the suggestion Guo Songling just put forward was exactly the method used by Zhang Yuting in history. In the original time and space, Zhang Yuting's suppression of bandits in Taonan did not go smoothly.
Regarding the high mobility of the Mongolian bandits, Zhang Yuting's command had no way of limiting it. Until one day, he thought of the horse roping pole commonly used by the Mongolians, and the old man took advantage of it.
Later, this plan worked wonders. In an ambush, Zhang Yuting defeated Tao Ke Tao Hu with the help of a horse pole.
After a while, seeing that the scene had returned to quiet, Li Jie looked around and said.
"Are there any other objections?"
Everyone was silent, and basically everything that needed to be said was said by the few people in front of them. Even if they were to say it, it would just be a slap in the face. They didn't want to do this kind of thing, otherwise they would definitely be laughed at by their colleagues after the meeting.
"What everyone said just now is very good. Since the first battalion commander mentioned coercion and inducement, I will add one more point. The Mongolians are not of the same mind. They only need to do a good job of coaxing, suppressing and dividing."
"The Mongolian bandits are like grasshoppers after autumn, they can't jump around for more than a few days."
"I will ask the brothers from the Secret Service to cooperate with you regarding this matter."
In today's war, intelligence is becoming more and more important. As a war master, Li Jie has naturally exposed himself to this point. As early as in Yuanbao Town, he specifically searched for relevant talents and established a secret service department to train "spies".
"By the way, I also have another announcement. I will not participate in this bandit suppression effort. Something happened over there in the north, and I need to go there. The success or failure of this operation depends on you."
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately went into an uproar.
