The night is deep and the north wind is strong. />
The two sides facing each other across the ice are still in peace, each lighting a warning torch. If someone looks over from a distance, they will see the starry sky that seems to be separated by a river of darkness. In the middle of the stars, there is a huge and deep darkness.
, making the two sides clearly differentiated.
Of course, this is just an appearance, because both sides lack the means to covertly approach each other, so there is no way to know the enemy's true deployment.
From this point of view, Yan Rou has the advantage. The camp stretching for several miles is enough for him to make more arrangements. On Taishi Ci's side, there are more than a dozen ships, the maximum number of troops, and the movement of the fleet.
It's obvious at a glance, and there's no way to talk about strategies or anything like that.
This advantage paralyzed Yan Rou to a certain extent. His focus was always on the overall trends of the Qingzhou fleet, but he had little interest in the internal mobilization of the fleet.
Therefore, when Taishi Ci gathered all the soldiers on the flagship and began the final mobilization before the raid, the reward from Yan Roujun's lookout was still: everything was normal.
Taishi Ci stood on the roof of the cabin, looking at the soldiers who were about to follow behind him and launch an attack on an enemy ten times more powerful than himself. His mood surged like the ocean tide.
The night was too dark. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the enemy camp, the fleet did not deliberately increase the illumination. The few torches were blown by the strong sea wind, flickering in and out. Even Tai Shi Ci's eyesight could not detect it.
See all the warriors' faces clearly.
But it doesn't matter, there is no need to use his eyes to see, as long as he thinks about it, everyone's voices and faces will clearly appear in his mind.
"Everyone should be aware of the combat plan. If anyone is still unclear, please ask your team officer quickly. Don't wait until things get worse. What I am going to tell you now is not the steps and methods of combat.
But the necessity of this battle..."
Taishi Ci's lectures were the same as his fighting style, direct and straight to the point.
"The enemy is much stronger than us. Even if the raid is successfully carried out, this battle will be dangerous and extremely dangerous. Although our army's strategic situation is somewhat unfavorable, it is not very dangerous. When the independent army starts to raise troops, there are many more dangerous winds and waves.
Compared with then, the situation now is pretty good.”
"Frankly speaking, even if this battle is completely won, it will not play a decisive role. Tadun's main army is still there, and the 20,000 miscellaneous men who responded to Yan Rou's call are still there. The situation on the Eastern Front will not change much.
.In addition, Yan Rou also wants to lure the enemy, and may have set up a tight formation on the inside and loose on the outside, waiting for us to fall into the trap."
"Some people may think: In this case, why do we have to fight this war?"
"In order to make achievements? No, I have been following my master since the first year of Chuping. I have experienced more than a hundred battles. Even if I rest on my past merits, it will be enough for the rest of my life. There is no need to take the risk of a near-death life to get this.
A great achievement. And you..."
"There are veterans who have been following a certain person since the beginning, as well as new recruits who have just joined. No matter what their status is, they have all been strictly selected and trained. I have put in a lot of effort, and the general government has also spent a lot of resources.
It seems that it would be a loss to throw you into such a battle. It is better to go back to Piaoyujin and hold on, and then show off your skills when there is a counterattack."
The five hundred soldiers of Tai Shi Ci were named after the Marine Corps by Wang Yu. However, strictly speaking, this unit does not belong to the navy's order of battle, but is a branch of the Hidden Mist Army.
The two hundred warriors who followed Taishi Ci to the east and fought fiercely against Three Koreas were selected from the Hidden Mist Army. The rest of the recruits were added after returning. The ones they received previously were the same as the new recruits of the Hidden Mist Army.
Military training.
That's why Taishi Ci said that letting them take risks is a loss-making business. This sentence is not Taishi Ci's original idea, but came from the civilian staff in the General's Mansion after counting the consumption of the Yinwu Army and comparing it with other armies.
The conclusion came out.
In terms of the consumption of individual soldiers, among the six armies, only the Guards' cavalry can compare with the combat troops of the Hidden Mist Army. The former are armored cavalry and are extremely powerful in actual combat. They can completely defeat ten of them, while the Hidden Mist Army needs to
Only under special circumstances can it play its best role.
In comparison, it's really a shame.
Taishi Ci knew that Wang Yu's light troops marched south to Xuzhou. He did not bring his cavalry with him, but brought 500 Yinwu troops from Wei Yan's newly formed army. This did not give the reorganized Yinwu Army a chance to show its combat power, and it meant to rectify its name.
.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Since the army reorganization in the Hebei War, in terms of the speed of expansion, the high proportion of consumption, and the high priority of recruiting new soldiers, the Hidden Mist Army can be said to be the number one garrison.
The expansion referred to here is not simply a personnel expansion, but a systematic expansion.
As of now, there are several major systems within the Hidden Mist Army.
Jia Xu's intelligence department remained the same, and the action team responsible for assassinations and other dark operations was separated from it. After Xu Shu established a training team under Wang Yu's instruction, the command was transferred to Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong. Wei Yan's troops were engaged in combat operations
The sequence was the only hidden fog force on the table before Wang Yu decided to establish the Marine Corps.
With its current five major branches, the Hidden Mist Army is enough to form its own system. If you also consider the logistics supply, the Hidden Mist Army is completely different from the other five armies.
The Hidden Mist Army has a specialized equipment manufacturing department, which is subordinate to the General Department, but is under the direct leadership of Wang Yu. The head of this department is Huang Yueying.
This department specializes in experimenting and producing new equipment. As long as new equipment passes technical acceptance, the Hidden Mist Army will be the first to be installed. In this regard, even the Guards Cavalry and the Thunder Army, which specializes in long-range weapons, cannot compare.
That is to say, Wei Yan performed well in Xuzhou, Xu Shu also fought vigorously in Bingzhou, and there was not much dissatisfaction among the army. However, with the beginning of the Northern Xinjiang War, the performance of the Hidden Mist Army was not satisfactory.
The resources consumed are no less than those of other ministries, but the strategic role is very limited. The staff often used this matter to advise Wang Yu. Everyone believed that in addition to the necessity of maintaining the intelligence system and training team, the Marine Corps was worthy of
After discussion, other troops can actually be reduced and cancelled, as appropriate.
Wei Yan's special operations force had too few soldiers and its actual combat effects were limited. The last time they were in Xuzhou, they were under Wang Yu's personal command, so they had great achievements. But when the battle in Northern Xinjiang started, Wei Yan's achievements were far less than before.
In the battlefield in northern Hebei, it was Zhao Yun's cavalry that played the decisive role. In the battlefield in Fan Yang, Wei Yan had almost no effect. It was not until Wang Yu personally arrived with his troops that the situation in Fan Yang was calmed down.
The staff believed that instead of carrying out the hugely expensive vanguard policy to the end, it was better to change course and accurately position Wei Yan's troops. They should expand them according to the model of ordinary combat troops and turn them into a truly independent combat force.
In fact, there is not much need to assassinate the assassin troops. After Wang Yu assassinated Dong and Xu Shu launched an assassination spree in Xuzhou, the princes all took warning and greatly strengthened the bodyguards around themselves and important figures in the army.
If assassination is to be used to solve the problem now, the hope of success will not be completely lost, but the cost and expenditure will definitely be quite large, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Taishi Ci was very unhappy about this, especially after the Marine Corps was established.
The predecessor of the Hidden Mist Army, the Special Forces Team, originally grew up under the hands of Tai Shici, who was considered a veteran figure. Although he quickly handed over the command of the army to Xu Shu because he was not greedy for power, he still felt
I am vaguely proud of the achievements of this unit.
Now that he has gone round and round and returned to the starting position, Taishi Ci is not dissatisfied. Anyway, it's good to have a battle, but he can't bear the fact that some people look down on the Hidden Mist Army.
There are many factors that determine this raid. But from a subjective point of view, Taishi Ci just wants to fight vigorously to rectify the name of the Hidden Mist Army! Use facts to tell those civil servants who only stare at the data. The Lord carefully
The army created has its own value and is necessary to exist!
The soldiers listened with bated breath. The deep night could not block the light in their eyes, and their clenched fists clearly showed the unrest in their hearts.
But no one made a noise. There was no need to express determination in words now, and of course no one raised any objections.
If there were still people who didn't think so before Taishi Ci's words, then after Taishi Ci interpreted this special meaning to this battle, everyone realized that this battle was imperative. With such determination,
In front of us, words are feeble. Speaking with swords and guns is what a warrior should do.
"When the special forces were established, my lord once said to a certain person that the special forces are the sharp knives of the entire army. They should move forward indomitably and would rather break than bend! There is no reason for more people and fewer people. There is no need to consider whether you will suffer or not. The mission of the sharp knives is to replace
The Lord shares worries and makes the enemy frightened. This is the true spirit of the Hidden Mist Army!"
Taishi Ci waved his hand fiercely and shouted in a deep voice: "Today, I will lead you to rectify the name of the Hidden Mist Army! It will surprise all those who once looked down on us, and let them face up to the powerful army created by the lord!
Those who are proud of the mist, come with me, and I will kill them and turn the world upside down!"
"Follow me to the death!" Everyone responded in unison.
Chen Han, who had always had reservations about Tai Shici's decision, was the first to take action. He directed the sailors to extend the long planks prepared in advance from the side of the ship and put them diagonally between the ice and the side of the ship.
He kept urging in a low voice: "Come closer, come closer!"
"Chen Sima, you can't get any closer. If you get any closer, the bottom of the ship will easily hit the ice floe and it will leak!" the sailor reminded.
"Let it leak." Chen Han replied easily: "I wish I could follow General Ziyi to attack and kill the enemy. If the ship sinks, it will be considered a sinking, and it will be a good story in the future. Move closer and stretch out the pedals.
Go farther and let our Marine brothers take less risks!"
"Here!"
While the sailors were busy, others were also busy. Tai Shici was the first to complete the preparations. When the ship was stable, Chen Han made a completion gesture. He looked around and asked: "Are you all ready?
"
"yes!"
"Very good, let's go!" Taishi Ci nodded, jumped up, and landed accurately on the diagonal pedal. With a sharp friction sound, he accelerated instantly and flew down the pedal. In an instant, he was
Disappeared into the darkness.
Behind him, loyal and brave soldiers filed forward.
