By the way, if Zhao Xin were here, the position would definitely be brightly lit at night. The drones would be used, the generators would have to be set up, and they didn’t have to worry about how much diesel they burned. The searchlights would be eager to take care of every inch of land at the foot of the mountain.
Turn the hill at your feet into a giant hedgehog, making it impossible for your opponents to bite you.
The problem is that Zhao Wangdian is not here. The supplies carried by the "Southbound Detachment" cannot be carried as they wish. The biggest problem with drones is that they need charging, thermal imaging infrared night vision devices and large hands with eighteen beads.
The same goes for electricity. The generator is easy to install, but the key is that carrying oil is troublesome.
Take a small diesel generator of a domestic brand from another time and space as an example. It weighs 154 kilograms, has a rated power of 7.5~10kw, and a fuel consumption of 1.1~1.5 liters per hour. It consumes at least 26 liters of diesel in a day.
Although it doesn't seem like much, each barrel of diesel weighs 170 kilograms, and it takes up a lot of space. If a horse is carrying it, it will only hold two barrels, so we can only rely on crawler transport vehicles; the problem is that even if we bring a crawler transport vehicle, we must first ensure that
Have enough fuel to replenish yourself.
But even so, Hu Ji learned the lesson of being attacked by the Qing army in Xiaobai Mountain. Before leaving, he still applied to Zhao Xin for two small generators (one set as a backup), two drones, and dozens of sets of thermal imaging infrared.
Night vision goggles, and the kind of large 18-bead flashlight that can stun people to death when turned on, can illuminate a distance of several miles, and can only be used for a short period of time.
As mentioned before, the Northern Navy currently has a maniacal attitude from top to bottom that "I am the best in the world." No matter it is the Qing army or Tsarist Russia, they all look down upon it. There is now a mantra circulating among the soldiers in private,
Cannons and machine guns teach you how to be a good person. Liu Sheng was the first to say this, and then it gradually spread.
Even if Zhao Xin was vigilant and called military officers to meetings many times to repeatedly emphasize the principle that "a proud soldier will be defeated", it is completely impossible to say that there is no mentality of underestimating the enemy in the army!
Well, this is the sequelae of using modern weapon systems and tactical systems.
It is not easy to get started at first, because modern weapons and tactics require a soldier's personal initiative and a corresponding level of education; but once you get started, you will beat all opponents! What follows is a general feeling of underestimating the enemy.
For the Eight Banners troops in an era of mixed hot and cold weapons, especially those strong soldiers stationed in the northwest, it is common to touch sentries and steal camps at night, and opponents who often fight complain endlessly. For example, in the Second Qianlong period
Ten years ago, Ayuxi led more than 20 people in a night attack, disrupting the 30,000 Junggar army. The Qing army took the opportunity to launch an all-out attack, and Dawaqi was defeated overnight.
So do you think that Fu Bao’s behavior of leading 20 people to explore the Northern Navy’s position at night is considered arrogant? This Uliangha Mongol man just wanted to follow the example of his predecessors, earn great military exploits, and honor his ancestors. All he did was rely on a
You have to be so brave and crazy!
Of course, being crazy alone is not enough, you also need luck, and it is precisely this luck that Fu Bao lacks.
Bei Haijun on the position became alert when he heard the first gunshot. Fu Bao and the others were doomed. Dozens of bullets crackled on the gravel around them, and their companions behind them were hit one after another.
Fu Bao was shot to death, and Fu Bao, who was lying on the ground to take cover, knew that he had no way out.
Surrender? That is absolutely impossible! The most important thing right now is that someone has to go back and report to Baonyeong.
With the light that seemed like daylight, Fu Bao observed a sunken earth pit two steps away on the right. His heart skipped a beat, and he used strength on his waist to roll close to the ground. He dodged a few bullets and kept steady.
He fell into the pit. He took a few breaths with his mouth wide open, calmed down, leaned up and shouted in Mongolian to his living companions behind him:
"Come on! There are only eight hundred of them!"
The shout attracted the attention of the Beihai navy, which was more than 200 meters away. The bullets roared in instantly, stirring up countless smoke and dust in front and on both sides of the pit. The pit where Fu Bao was located was almost half a meter deep, and about one meter deep.
It looks like there were a few rocks here before. When the Beihai navy cleared the firing area, they pried out the rocks and moved them away, leaving a hole.
Fu Bao hugged his head and huddled up at the bottom of the pit. When he felt that the bludgeoning attack had weakened, he slowly stood up, knelt on one knee in the pit, and took out the bow and arrow from the bag behind his back.
Fortunately, the bow was not broken and the arrows were not dropped.
With the mentality of killing one and making a profit, Fu Bao didn't even look around. He just relied on his instincts gained from years of fighting on the battlefield and threw two arrows toward the outside. Before he could hear anything,
There was a scream from the opposite side, and a machine gun bullet that flew from nowhere hit his right hand, and the severed finger flew several meters away with a cloud of blood.
After being shot, Fu Bao felt that his right hand had lost all feeling in an instant, followed by scorching heat and severe pain. It felt like a red-hot iron had been stuffed into his flesh and blood, tearing at his nerves and will.
He threw away the bow in his left hand, lay down on the ground, tore off a piece of cloth from his coat under the chain mail, and tightened the severed part of his right hand with his teeth and left hand. After doing all this, he felt a little exhausted.
, breathing heavily.
After more than ten seconds, Fu Bao regained his composure, pulled out the dagger from his waist with his left hand, stood up with all his strength, and rushed forward without hesitation towards the ray of light like the sun.
A small-scale sneak attack by the Qing army left the Northern Navy on the position as if it were facing a formidable enemy. After cleaning the battlefield and counting the bodies, it was found that a total of 19 Qing troops were killed and wounded. One of our own troops was killed and two were injured, but the weapons and ammunition were not lost.
.The injuries of several wounded soldiers of the Qing army were very serious. After all, machine gun bullets are not a joke. Although after some treatment, one of them survived in the end; but that one was still alive and could not be interrogated at all.
.
Based on the clothes and weapons carried by these Qing soldiers, Mi Shilang concluded that these guys came to check the sentry, and the purpose was nothing more than to find out the deployment of their own troops.
At daybreak, Mislang sent a squad of the reconnaissance company down the mountain to take a look, and found nineteen war horses behind a hill five miles away to the north; judging from the horse hoof prints left at the scene, there should be two missing.
Afterwards, the squad followed the horse's hoof prints and chased westward to the Tesi River. However, at this time, many Mongolian cavalry appeared on the other side of the river with eager eyes, so they had to return.
Although the Qing army's night reconnaissance operation caused heavy losses to Baoning's troops, the results were huge. When Baoning and others learned that there were only 800 North Koreans on the other side, they were overjoyed.
"No wonder we called a detachment. Not even one battalion of the Eight Banners has enough troops! Such a small number of people want to stop my tens of thousands of troops. They are really overestimating their capabilities!" Baoning couldn't help but sneered when he thought of this, and then began to think about how to eliminate them at the minimum cost. Beihai Navy on the other side.
The Qing court had many battles with the Beihai Navy over the years, and the only time the Beihai Navy suffered a big loss was the night attack at Xiaobai Mountain. After that, those Sauron soldiers who were lucky enough to escape were promoted by Qianlong to the second-class guards of the Qianqing Palace. Ba Tulu was given the title of "Yong" and was given the honor of wearing a yellow mantle.
Considering that the North Navy's artillery was really fierce, Baoning thought about it and discussed it repeatedly with Counselor Ai Longa and others, and finally proposed to change the human sea tactical strategy of "the army crosses the river in three ways and gathers to surround it" to night time attack.
Although attacking at night will cause many command and coordination problems such as unavailability of flags and poor communication of orders, the power of the opponent's firearms will also be greatly weakened. At the very least, the aiming of the cannon will be a problem. But Boryeong and the others did not expect Yes, the Northern Navy not only has long-range cannons, but also close-combat grenades...
The number of Qing troops dispatched was finally set at 13,000, with two hills and 4,000 on each side. To deal with the Northern Navy, it was useless to use the "Ten Siege" method passed down from ancient times. It had to be attacked ten times. At the same time, , Baoninghui personally led 5,000 troops to lurk on the other side of the Tes River. Once the troops responsible for night attacks on both sides succeeded, he led his troops to rush across the river and kill the fleeing Northern Navy.
Marshal Bao's idea was unanimously approved by everyone who participated in the military meeting, and even Eyiduob Dorzi of Tushetu Khan's Department also agreed; what this man thought was that the North Navy would not raise flags at night anyway, and the Northern Navy would It's impossible to figure out which Zasak's men the opponent comes from, so it's not like fishing in troubled waters.
After explaining in detail the offensive routes and tasks of each department, Baoning finally said: "The time for each department to launch is tonight at Haizheng. Shen Zheng is eating, Youmo is dispatched, and Xu Zheng is in attack position."
...
Michelang had a bad premonition. He learned from the report from the reconnaissance company that the Qing army on the other side of the river separated into two groups, one heading north to the lower reaches of the Tesi River sixty miles away; the other The troops headed southeast and were stationed on the river bank twenty miles away.
He has a set of drones on hand, which have been used by the reconnaissance company. The farthest control distance of this drone without interference is 7 kilometers, and the flight time is 27 minutes. The Qing army camp is fifteen kilometers away from the Northern Navy position, stretching for dozens of miles. It's impossible to see clearly. You can't stand at the gate of your opponent's camp to conduct reconnaissance, right? Besides, you really treat other people's sentries as fools!
Mi Shilang thought to himself, is this the plan to divide the troops into three groups to cross the river? Although the Qing army did not fight, after all, we only have a small number of people and limited equipment and supplies. If the enemy surrounds us like a tide and attacks desperately, we will The ammunition on hand is completely insufficient to support such a large-scale defensive battle. Once the position is breached and engages in melee combat, let alone the casualty rate, it is certain that the position cannot be defended.
It's not that he hasn't thought about the idea of fighting mobile warfare, but this is a river valley prairie, and no matter how hard the infantry's feet are, they can't outrun the war horses. Facing a large-scale cavalry charge, it's impossible for a man like himself without a solid position. Besides, this team The Qing army was obviously going to take the retreat of the troops on the eastern front. If they went into the mountains and circled with the enemy, the Qing army could have left some of their troops to consume with them. The large group of troops should continue to go east along the station line.
He is a veteran when he started his business in Beihai Town. He started as an illiterate peasant who shivered when he heard the sound of cannons. He followed Zhao Xinnan in the northern expedition for eight years and fought countless big and small battles. It was just the course of the officer training class.
He was promoted five times, and each time he was promoted from deputy company commander to regiment commander. He has a very keen sense of battlefield. It was precisely because of his calmness and carefulness that Zhao Xin made him the deputy captain of the "Southbound Detachment" to make up for Hu Ji
shortcomings.
At noon, he expressed his thoughts to Huji at the rear through the radio. Huji also felt that there was a lot of pressure on Chahantuoluohai, so he thought about it again and again, and finally told Mishilang that he would transfer a reinforcement from Bayanbulak tomorrow morning.
Come here.
There were about to be four more platoons of troops in hand, and Mishilang felt a lot more relieved, but the uneasy feeling never subsided. So in the afternoon, he checked the north and south mountains one by one in the order of the company and battalion.
For the position fortifications on the hill, a meeting was held with the officers, requesting that the vigilance of sentries be strengthened at night. Two bonfires were set up one hundred meters and two hundred meters in front of the position, and the number of open sentries on duty in each shift was increased from two to three.
To avoid being exploited by the Qing army again.
At dusk, the reconnaissance teams sent to the north and south lines to monitor the movements of the Qing troops reported that the Qing troops on the north line had no movement, while a large number of Mongolian civilians on the south line were building wooden frames on the other side, seemingly preparing to build a pontoon bridge. Mishilang
After hearing this, they did not let them come back, but ordered the northern and southern platoons to continue to stay on the other side of the river to monitor the enemy's movements.
The sun finally set, and a crescent moon rose. The air was cold and the wind was clear on the grassland at night. Whether it was Tangnu Mountain behind us or the Qing army camp in the distance, they were all shrouded in a vast and deep night.
At 7 o'clock in the evening - that is, at the end of the year, the Qing troops on the North, South, Middle and Third Routes took advantage of the darkness and took advantage of the darkness. The Qing troops on the northern route were led by Ulia Sutai Counselor Ai Long'a, and his deputy was Ulia Su
Taiwan's deputy capital commander Xingfu and the Taijimani Bazaer of the Zasak Tuhan tribe. The chief and deputy generals leading the army on the southern front were the deputy capital commander Aktong'a and the second-class Taiji of the Saiyinnuoyan tribe.
Punchukdash.
In order to avoid the noise caused by the vibration of horseshoes, no one in the Qing army rode a horse, and everyone marched silently.
The moon in the sky sometimes appears in the clouds, and sometimes disappears behind the high mountains. The troops of the Northern and Southern Qing troops marched in double rows, stretching out for more than five miles from beginning to end, like a winding march.
The giant snake on the grassland. In the middle, the Qing army led by Baoning himself quietly left the camp in a group of 500 people. They opened a huge fan on the grassland and, under the cover of grass and darkness, moved towards the special
The west bank of the Si River slowly approaches.
"Something's wrong!" The Beihai Navy platoon leader squatting in the grass suddenly shuddered. He immediately picked up the night vision device and observed it for a while. Except for the sound of the wind blowing the weeds and the sound of water flowing in front, there was nothing else.
.
"Platoon commander, what's wrong?"
"Stubborn donkey, have you noticed why it's so quiet across the street tonight?"
The scout nicknamed "Stubborn Donkey" also frowned when he heard this. He listened for a while and said in amazement: "Why didn't the wild wolf howl anymore? The old bird didn't howl either!"
"The situation is not right! Let everyone be more vigilant!"
At the same time, on the river bank two miles east of where the scouts were, hundreds of naked Qing soldiers stepped into the chest-deep river with armor on their heads containing bows, arrows and daggers.
Two miles behind them, there were four thousand Mongolian archers lying in the grass, ready to attack.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was still no movement on the river bank. Thirty Beihai navy squatting in the grass nervously paid attention to all the movements around them.
"Oops!" the reconnaissance platoon leader cursed secretly. A red dot suddenly lit up in the upper right corner of the night vision field of view, which was a signal to him that he was out of power. He hurriedly turned off the power, opened the cover, and took it out of his pocket.
The battery is ready to be replaced.
At this moment, a dense "boom boom" sound suddenly came from the dark night dozens of meters away. The scout, who was called "Stubborn Donkey", knew that something was wrong, and shouted "Concealed", holding the rifle in his hand.
Then he opened fire. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a hail of arrows arrived. With a clanging sound, the arrows hit the helmet and made small dots.
Fortunately, the Northern Navy learned from past lessons and made all the scouts wear stab-proof clothing and neck protectors. The problem was that although the arrows fired by the Qing army were not fatal, some people were still injured.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning, so fast that people were caught off guard. Ye Chu, the co-leader of the team, drew a short sword from his waist and rushed up from the left wing of the Beihai Navy with more than 20 of his men.
Intensive gunshots rang out instantly on the river bank, followed immediately by a roaring explosion, which was the grenade thrown by the Northern Navy scouts. In the brief flash of light and shadow, the faces of the Qing troops who had entered a distance of twenty meters were invisible.
