"Okay you!" Lei Feixiang punched Dou Xiaoqi in the chest, "That's a good fight! It seems I can hand over the special operations group to you."
"Hey, it's so-so. We didn't kill many enemies in this battle because the enemy ran too fast, so my subordinates didn't have time to calculate. I estimate that about a thousand people were killed and wounded. This is a bit embarrassing for the special battle group." Dou Xiaoqi was killed.
I feel a little embarrassed to like it.
"That's wrong. The enemy dares to come with not less than one legion, and the forward force is at least 20,000. After all, you only have one battalion. Killing and wounding twice as many enemies is considered as meeting the standard.
Besides, our mission is to delay the enemy. After you make such a fuss, the enemy will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest to arrive in the northern suburbs. Just wait for your promotion."
In fact, Ding Kui had already told Lei Feixiang to provide a replacement for the special operations leader as soon as possible. Lei Feixiang would be promoted to division commander in the future, taking over from veteran Zhong Wei.
Ding Kui does not dislike the veteran generals, on the contrary, he loves the old generals of the Ding family very much and hopes that they can go home as soon as possible and enjoy their old age. There used to be no one, but now the young and middle-aged people have grown up and can relieve the veteran generals of their burdens.
If Zhong Wei is not qualified as a division commander, he can become the principal of the military academy. If not, he can become a county guard. In short, there will be proper arrangements.
"The local army is too cowardly! I also planned to lure them deep into the woods and scare them away by blowing the smoke." Dou Xiaoqi didn't know that there was another reason for scaring away the enemy troops.
"Well, it's better to be timid. At least delay them for a few more hours, and the No. 1 plan will go more smoothly. Okay, you lead a battalion to prepare. There are endless enemies waiting for you." Lei Feixiang has not finished yet.
layout.
He wanted to block the local army in Zhenyuan City, but it was difficult for a regiment to fight head-on, so he had to arrange it and give full play to the fine traditions of the special operations group.
The local army was much more entangled, so Li Jing thought for a long time and decided to stop the advance.
He ordered: "The 4th Division will set up camp in the south of the forest area, and the 3rd Division will set up camp in the north of the forest area. No attack is allowed at night no matter what the situation is."
The Chinese army led by Gongsun Mi had to stay in Anyang County.
Ding Kui's subordinates were all good at attacking, but Gongsun Mi did not dare to gather his troops together and adopted the safest way to march.
"You bastard! Just a little smoke can scare the entire division and flee, greatly damaging the morale of our army. This Wei Lunhui deserves to die!" Gongsun Mi was furious after reading the military report.
"Sir, calm down. Based on the military situation in recent days, it can be inferred that the one who ambushed the forward troops was a special operations group. It is normal for General Wei's 4th Division to lose to the opponent. Although he is afraid of the enemy and war, he also saved the 4th Division.
The strength of the group.
Now the forward troops have not asked for reinforcements, and the loss of more than a thousand people will not affect their combat effectiveness. They can still clear the way for the army and find out the current situation of Shibu County for you.
Besides, General Wei is the cousin of Captain Wei. If we deal with him now, we are afraid that we will not be able to separate from Captain Wei in the future. It is better to escort him back to Nanjing and hand him over to the State Military Justice Department for interrogation." A staff officer came out to speak for Wei Lunhui.
The military commander used to be the top officer of the local army, and the state-level staff officers were very familiar with Wei Shiwen. Now when something happens to his cousin, there are still people who are willing to take care of him.
Gongsun Mi didn't know about Wei Lunhui's background, but he was a related household and couldn't use this reason to exclude Wei Lunhui.
Today he finally has an excuse to severely punish Wei Lunhui. He must put on a show of pretense in order to scare other people with connections in the military.
"I just can't let him embarrass Captain Wei, lest Captain Wei blame me for not upholding the reputation of the Wei family in the future. Come here, send an order to the forward command, and kidnap Wei Lunhui to the Chinese army, and wait for me to question him properly.
.”
Seeing that the commander-in-chief insisted on this, no one in the Chinese army tent tried to persuade him. In such a defeat, there was really no way to speak for Wei Lunhui.
Li Jing spent the night in fear and found that both divisions were safe, and then he mustered up the confidence to continue on the road.
After passing through a dense forest area and passing through a town, the forward troops of the local army arrived at the northern suburbs of Zhenyuan City. Their original plan was to rush to the county town as soon as possible, try to protect the county town, and then try to defeat Ding Kui's army.
The current situation is not optimistic. The enemy can set up an ambush in the north of Zhenyuan City, which means that Zhenyuan City is probably not safe. The first thing Li Jing must consider is whether to attack the city?
"Report! Zhenyuan City is open on all sides, and the residents in the city are living as usual. It is said that the rebels have not been seen since last night." A scout reported.
"No one?" Li Jingxian was displeased and worried, "A special operations team fleeing without a fight? This is not their style."
"Sir, will the enemy ambush in the city? Or our army will camp outside the city?" The staff officer of the 3rd Division was also afraid of the famous special forces.
"The special operations group is familiar with all kinds of tactics, and is especially good at small team operations. Although I heard that Ding Kui didn't like fighting in the city and the empty city ambush tactic was only used abroad, we can't rule out that they can ambush small groups of troops in the city.
Even if our elite troops are gathered together, they cannot stop the assault of an enemy squadron, but it is unjustifiable not to enter the city. We are here to help Shibu County resist the rebels, and we cannot leave Zhenyuan City alone.
Let's do this, you lead the 4th division to the city defense barracks, and only arrange people to patrol the streets. You don't need to divide your troops to guard the city gates. If you encounter a strong enemy, just defend the barracks and send out a signal, and I will lead the troops into the city to rescue you.
The 3rd Division followed me to camp outside the east gate near the military camp. A large group guarded the east gate and kept in touch with the military camp at all times." Li Jing first used his own staff to command the 4th Division, a little afraid that the 4th Division would flee without a fight again.
Although there are less than 9,000 men left in the 4th Division, they should be able to hold on to the barracks for a while if they are prepared, at least until he leads the army to rescue.
It is customary for the army to stay outside the city. It makes sense for Li Jing not to enter the city first, but it is relatively rare to have three city gates undefended.
Lei Feixiang couldn't understand this arrangement, "Do you want to live in peace with us? They will do theirs and we will do ours?"
The special operations group is actually ambushing in the city.
"Hahaha, you still want to behead someone in the city lord's palace, but the enemy general won't give you a chance." Dou Xiaoqi laughed heartlessly.
"It's all your fault! You scared the enemy into something crazy yesterday." Lei Feixiang was so angry that Operation Plan No. 1 was probably going to go to waste.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, blame me, how about we light smoke in the city and scare the enemy away?" Dou Xiaoqi came up with an idea.
"Look at that posture. The enemy is trying to defend the barracks and the east gate. How can you scare them away? Send an order to implement action plan No. 3." Lei Feixiang is a candidate for division commander, how can he only have one action plan?
In the afternoon, fireworks suddenly erupted from the city lord's palace. There was no news from the small group of scouts responsible for guarding the palace. They were probably killed by the enemy. The staff officer of the 3rd Division ordered the entire army to retreat to the barracks.
How could the residents in the city let the city lord's palace catch fire? What if a gust of wind came and the fire burned nearby residences? The people spontaneously formed a firefighting team, and more than a hundred people worked together to put out the fire. It took more than an hour of hard work to extinguish the fire.
"What? The 4th Division is fighting with the residents in the city?" Li Jing first sat in the camp and ignored the fire, but now he heard that the people in the city were gathering to make trouble, and they all came to the gate of the military camp.
"Yes, the 4th Division forcibly drove away the crowd and injured several people, which aroused public resentment. Later, more and more people gathered, and some of them even carried bows and arrows. The 4th Division went out to drive out people again and was brutally attacked.
After shooting more than a hundred people, he returned to the camp and is now staying behind closed doors." The staff officer of the 3rd Division specially sent someone to inform Li Jingxian.
"It must have been the enemy who instigated the incident and deliberately inspired the people to go to the military camp to cause trouble." The staff officer of the 4th Division was left outside the city.
"Hmph!" Li Jingxian smiled contemptuously, "Send the order, a large team will go to drive away the troublemakers outside the military camp, and leave the east gate alone for now."
This order is a bit strange, but the first team still strictly follows it.
Thousands of officers and soldiers arrived, with shining weapons in their hands. The hot-headed people immediately woke up, and the hundreds of people who were nesting outside the city defense barracks dispersed like water.
"Report! The east gate is on fire and the enemy has occupied the tower." The scout hurriedly came to report.
"Hahaha!" Li Jingxian laughed, "The special battle group is nothing more than that! Come, ask the magician to release the signal, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth brigades will go out with me."
It turns out that all the local army's reactions were designed by him to draw out the special forces hidden in the city.
Bang bang bang, three magic flares were launched into the air, the gate of the city defense barracks was opened, and the staff officer of the 3rd Division led the neatly-organized troops to come out and joined a large group of the 3rd Division to rush towards the east gate.
Outside the city, Li Jing led 3,000 men and horses in a wild goose formation and pushed towards the east gate. There were 6,000 men and horses inside and outside the east gate to attack. If they failed to defeat the enemy, there would be reinforcements from follow-up troops. He did not believe that the special forces could hold it.
However, they rushed to the east gate but failed. The enemy who had just occupied the east gate ran away!
"Oops! You guys should quickly retreat to the city defense barracks!" Li Jingxian knew he had fallen into the trap.
"No! Sir, look!" the staff officer of the 3rd Division pointed behind Li Jingxian.
Mr. Li Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned around and saw thick black smoke rising from the military camp outside the city.
"No problem, all the soldiers will follow me back to rescue!" He was calm in the chaos, not forgetting that there were still 6,000 troops and horses over there, 6,000 troops and horses around him, and nearly 6,000 troops and horses in the city. Even if the military camp outside the city was captured by the enemy,
, he also has the ability to fight back.
The people who gathered at the east gate rushed to the military camp outside the city. Li Jingxian ordered the accompanying magician to fly back to the military camp first. The fire must be controlled to prevent the military camp from burning down.
However, an accident happened again. Before they could return to the military camp, the magician who left first flew back and reported: "The soldiers guarding the camp repulsed the enemy, and the enemy only burned two areas of the rear camp."
"What?" Li Jingxian's impression of the special operations group was not that weak.
Can the troops defending the camp defeat them so easily?
"Oops!" the staff officer of the 3rd Division cried out, "That is another trick to deceive the soldiers. Will the enemy take the opportunity to deceive the city defense barracks?"
Li Jingxian quickly turned his head and looked again. The east gate was quiet, and there were no fireworks coming out of the city.
"How can the special forces be so unpredictable? There are six more brigades in the city defense barracks. Could you please fly into the city and take a look." He made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.
