The commander of the first battalion and the instructor are worthy of being comrades who have worked together for almost a year, and they cooperate closely with each other. After a few words of conversation with no word order and structure, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the matter was revealed.
The two wrote and polished a battle report and passed it to the rear commander, recording the battle situation, battle losses and results, and further combat arrangements in more detail. The regiment commander was asked to give the next step of guidance as soon as possible, whether to transfer the troops or further strengthen the defense line. …………
When Wang Chengzhu found the reconnaissance team with the instructor's handwritten order, the Third Company of the First Battalion had already found the reconnaissance team together with the guide comrades.
When the third company commander received the order to set off, the battalion commander had talked to him about assisting in reconnaissance and independent operations. As for choosing an opportunity to act, after communicating with the instructor, the third company commander decided to mainly carry out reconnaissance missions to ensure that the large forces were aware of the enemy's situation.
.
Although it is said that when the road is narrow, the brave will win, but no one is willing to take the initiative to narrow the road. As long as their company and the reconnaissance team are combined, the total strength is less than 150 people. If they are really discovered by the enemy, they will think about it when they are surrounded.
If you escape unscathed, you will find that this is a luxurious wish.
In addition, the company went out to perform reconnaissance missions, so the company left all its heavy weapons in the camp. Without suppressive firepower such as light and heavy machine guns, the soldiers had to use their lives to fight the enemy troops who had the dual advantage of numbers and firepower. This was not in line with the new regiment's desire to take advantage.
A fighting style that is unwilling to suffer obvious losses.
Under the guidance of map navigation, Wang Chengzhu avoided two wild boar groups and found the temporary camp where the third company commander and the leader of the reconnaissance team were located.
I walked to the temporary camp shown on the map I carried and contacted the sentry nearby. I found a natural stone cave as I approached. There were shrubs and climbing plants in front of the cave door, and there were more than ten people inside sitting around and resting under the sinkhole. p>
The air inside the cave is not as cool and cold as the forest outside, but it does not have the smell of damp earth mixed with sweaty bad breath in the underground cave. After all, it is the old scouts who found such a dry and wind-free resting place.<
/p>
Wang Chengzhu walked into the Tiankeng cave and greeted a few sober comrades softly. The third company commander and the reconnaissance leader stood up, took Wang Chengzhu's hand and walked out of the cave.
The entrance of the natural stone cave was three people shoulder-width apart. After the three people came out, they stood among some pine trees and talked. Wang Chengzhu first took out the note handwritten by the instructor and handed it to the scout leader for review.
The reconnaissance leader's eyes scanned the note from right to left, top to bottom, and handed it to the third company commander: "Comrade Wang Chengzhu, the instructor wants you to assist us, mainly responsible for the task of covering security. Your skills in reconnaissance
, I have seen it with my own eyes. Now that you don’t bring mortars and ammunition, can you carry out this fire suppression and cover safety thing?"
"This is a long story..."
"Comrade, you are not in the main combat force. Some news is not only slow to spread, but also far from the real situation." The third company commander spoke out to Wang Chengzhu and returned the letter of introduction to Wang Chengzhu. "Comrade Wang Chengzhu is
Adapted from the old Red Army in the Qinlong Border Area, it is famous for its hard training and bravery in combat.
"Although he was a junior artilleryman in the New Regiment, it was a crash course in artillery that he was recommended to take because he had done well in cultural classes. In daily training, he not only organized and practiced artillery placement, sighting, firing and evacuation by himself, but he also often trained with the First Battalion.
Infantry tactical movements."
"In that case, I'm sitting in a well and watching the sky." The reconnaissance leader, who was quite bachelor, took advantage of the familiarity of the conversation, "Comrade Wang Chengzhu, just judging from your skill in capturing prisoners, you can usually fire mortars accurately. I didn't expect it to be accurate.
An old comrade, disrespectful and disrespectful."
"Thank you for the compliment. Let's not talk about it for now." Wang Chengzhu was polite and went straight to the point and asked, "Leader and Third Company Commander, speaking of which, I see why there are only a dozen soldiers in this cave. The instructor of the Third Company and other soldiers go
Where is it?"
"This is a long story, so I'll cut it short." Seeing Wang Chengzhu's careful observation and asking questions, the Third Company Commander took the initiative to explain, "During our company's normal training, the content of mountain guerrilla warfare training is not as many as line foxholes. This is in the mountains.
In terms of reconnaissance operations, the experience is not as rich as that of the sentry reconnaissance comrades of the guard service company. Therefore, comrades from the reconnaissance team are asked to lead the team, and the comrades will help expand the scope of reconnaissance."
Having said this, Wang Chengzhu understood. On the one hand, the soldiers of the Third Company were not proficient in mountain guerrilla warfare and needed a guide and learning partner; on the other hand, the reconnaissance team lacked manpower and firepower and encountered wild beasts in the primeval forest, which would easily lead to unnecessary dangers.
.
Reminiscing that when he came to look for the reconnaissance force, he detoured to let two wild boars pass. Wang Chengzhu knew that his comrades did not have the help of a bird's-eye view, and unless there was an experienced hunter to lead the way, they might stray into the territory of the beasts and encounter unexpected events. Therefore, it was a good idea to go together.
A nice measure to enhance security and reduce risk.
"Two comrades, I understand." Wang Chengzhu changed his tone and said, "I picked up a lot of weapons and ammunition along the way when I came here, and I happened to give you some additional firepower."
While he was talking, Wang Chengzhu sent out Infinity Owl and placed several oil paper packages in the blind spot of the sentry at the entrance of the cave. Inside the packages were disassembled M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, which were imported from China and commonly known as "Big Eight".
I led two cadres around the corner to get their guns. There were not many things, only three oil paper bags. Including the original ammunition base of 200 rounds, and seven bags of 30 caliber/7.63mm thirty-round bullet boxes. The three rifles totaled only 810.
With the bullets and fifteen missing magazines, the self-defense firepower of the comrades can be slightly strengthened without attracting attention.
As for how to pick up Springfield Arsenal products[1] from the Rising Sun Empire Army soldiers and their servants passing by. This is not a problem that he needs to consider. At this time, the Chinese Army's armaments can be called a world expo.
It makes sense to find three new guns on the spot that were finalized five years ago.
After handing the weapons and ammunition to the reconnaissance leader and the third company commander, Wang Chengzhu suggested that he go to the nearby area to conduct reconnaissance. The third company commander expressed his gratitude to Wang Chengzhu for his non-stop hard work, and the reconnaissance leader nodded in agreement without saying a word.
Leaving the temporary camp of the reconnaissance team, he quickly walked out of the observation range of the light and dark sentinels. Wang Chengzhu used the visible light satellite photos displayed on the wrist terminal on his left arm to quickly find the whereabouts of eight of his own team's reconnaissance activities.
For the soldiers of the Third Company who were performing reconnaissance missions, Wang Chengzhu had no idea of leading them to take shortcuts. Reconnaissance techniques and tactics have always been easy to learn but difficult to master, and more practice is beneficial. Arrangement and captivity will only harm these good seedlings, and there are often
If the comrades who carry out the reconnaissance mission guide and lead, there will probably be no problems.
You only need to pay attention to the enemy's movements at all times and ensure the safety of your comrades. Sometimes, being a firefighter on a battlefield that is almost no man's land is so unpretentious and boring.
However, the automatic refresh of this boring dynamic surveillance photo did not last long before Wang Chengzhu noticed that a small group of scout soldiers moved significantly faster. Zooming out the scale of this area showed that Wang Chengzhu saw two more light spots near the original eleven.
More than ten red triangle cursors.
The party with the larger number of people forms a linear formation, forming an arc and squeezing toward the blue light spot.
