Chapter 1158 The decisive battle between Cao and Wei (7)
"General Fu, smoke, there is smoke ahead."
Fu Hong was leaning on a tree stump, eating some kind of frog, and reading the telegrams received by the radio station.
They only dared to receive telegrams but did not dare to send them.
With the development of science and technology, especially the vigorous development of electromagnetism.
Now, technology has emerged to locate the source of high-power electromagnetic waves.
In a complex city, a large number of messages are generated, and it is very difficult to locate the specific location.
But in the uninhabited jungle, regular and frequent electromagnetic waves suddenly appeared. Everyone knew that this phenomenon was unusual.
Receive telegrams without revealing your location.
This is a new concept proposed by Empire, Radio Silence.
General Fu Hong can understand the world's plain code telegrams and Cao's universal code telegrams.
He knew that both Cao and Wei were waiting for a strategic turning point.
Cao State sent its navy to attack Wei's ports, but because it could not deal with Wei's submarines, it had to withdraw back into the country.
General Fu Hong doesn't know much about the navy, but he also knows some common sense about the navy.
Submarines are assassins hiding in the sea. Without sonar technology, the navy would suffer heavy losses in the face of the wolf pack tactics composed of submarines.
When General Fu Hong was looking through the telegrams he received, he suddenly heard the shouts of the messengers.
He immediately stood up in surprise and asked: "The smoke, is it really the smoke?"
After asking for specific information, he immediately picked up the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by the messenger.
Three streams of light smoke drifted in the sky five or six miles ahead.
General Fu Hong put down the telescope and said happily: "Great, today is September 2nd. It took us twenty-five days and nearly a month to finally get out of the rain forest."
General Fu Hong's anxious heart finally calmed down.
According to the original plan, they would spend ten days traveling through the rainforest.
As a result, after walking for more than 20 days, we still couldn't see the border of the rainforest.
General Fu Hong knew that he was heading in the wrong direction, but he had to move in the direction of the river.
He had already anticipated the dangers in the rain forest.
But when I really lived in the rainforest, I found that the dangers I had expected before were really insignificant compared to the real dangers of the rainforest.
The most dangerous situation in the rainforest is not the lack of food and drinking water, nor the encounter with large beasts.
Even if the army does not use guns and only uses bayonets, it can deal with large beasts.
What's more, in the rain forest, you can shoot without any scruples.
The real trouble in the rainforest is the countless poisonous insects.
Unknown poisonous insects, all kinds of strange locusts and mosquitoes.
With just one bite, a soldier would immediately become seriously ill or even die.
They found a large river in the rain forest and found that the direction of the river coincided with the direction they were heading.
I started to move along the river, but found that it was safer by the river.
There are many large beasts along the river, but all kinds of strange and poisonous insects are relatively rare.
They can also get enough food and water in the river.
General Fu Hong chose to continue crossing the rain forest in the established direction. Of the 3,000-man team, less than 500 people were able to cross the rain forest in the end.
Even if he finally discovered that the direction of the river was different from the direction they expected, he could only choose to follow the river.
His biggest goal is to lead the army into the territory of Wei State. The specific place in Wei State is not important.
Now that they see smoke, it proves that they have reached the edge of the rain forest and there are traces of human activities around them.
Even if they are not from the Wei State, they are local aborigines who were expelled to the rainforest to survive.
These indigenous people can survive in the rain forest, and their location is also on the edge of the rain forest.
General Fu Hong immediately led the army and marched towards the place where the smoke was.
When he saw the situation where the smoke was, the smile on his face became even stronger.
This is a logging camp dominated by the Wei State.
Several Han stewards are supervising the indigenous people to cut trees.
There are many such logging camps in Cao State.
Cut down the wood in the rainforest, dig out the roots and stones, and burn the weeds with fire.
This area became farmland that could be cultivated.
Cao and Wei added a lot of farmland every year, mostly through this method.
When General Fu Hong saw these people pioneering wasteland, he knew that he had passed through the rain forest.
People who open up wasteland will only open up wasteland at the edge of the rainforest.
"Lead a team of people to take down this lumberyard, and be careful to cut off the communication at the lumberyard."
Such lumberyards generally do not install telephones, let alone radio stations.
The price of a radio station is several thousand taels of silver coins, and even installing a telephone requires hundreds of taels of silver coins just for the cost of the phone line.
Most of the workers in the lumber mills are indigenous.
In the logging camp, they can at least have enough to eat and generally won't resist.
Aboriginal people who truly have a spirit of resistance will not be sent to a relaxing place like a lumber mill.
Even if something happened to the lumber camp and some indigenous people were lost, it wouldn't attract people's attention.
There is no need to install a telephone equipped radio.
However, General Fu Hong showed leniency to the enemy and would never allow the news of his arrival to leak.
When he led his troops through the rainforest, he was mentally prepared to be wiped out.
But before his entire army was annihilated, he had to achieve some results, instead of being surrounded and suppressed by Wei's heavy troops without any results at all.
Wanshi and indigenous workers at the lumberyard saw soldiers with guns rushing into the lumberyard.
The indigenous workers reacted very quickly. They immediately lay down on the ground and did not dare to move.
The Han steward came out and asked, "This is a state-owned farm. How dare you run wild on a state-owned farm and tell us your serial numbers."
"I am the Third Independent Division of the Cao State Army, and you have been captured."
After he finished speaking, he smashed the butt of his rifle down, and the Han steward saw this.
He immediately discovered that the military uniforms opposite him were not those of the Wei army.
He felt very ridiculous, how could Cao Jun arrive here.
"How did you come here? It's impossible. The front line of Yuanling Mansion has not been breached. How could we let you come to Jinxiu Mansion?"
The officer who asked the question, when he heard about Jinxiu Mansion, he immediately grabbed the officer's collar and asked loudly: "This is Jinxiu Mansion."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The steward was a little frightened, and his voice was trembling with panic.
"Master Jun, Master Jun.
I am a Han Chinese, not an internalized Han Chinese. My ancestors have been Han Chinese for eighteen generations. We have the same culture and race. For the sake of our ancestors, please let me go."
"Ask you a question and give me an honest answer.
As long as you behave well, our Cao army will treat prisoners preferentially."
The steward answered tremblingly: "Master Jun, this is the Jinxiu Mansion in the northwest of the Wei Kingdom.
The great men successfully introduced mulberry trees here, with the silk and textile industry as the core.
It was just a small town before, but due to the open rainforest, the land and population are increasing.
When the plan was finalized a few years ago, it was named Jinxiu Mansion."
The officer said in surprise: "Jinxiu Mansion, Jinxiu Mansion is less than a hundred kilometers away from Yuanling Mansion."
He didn't even expect that they were walking through the rain forest in such a crooked direction. No wonder it took twenty-five days.
Originally I wanted to enter the north of Wei State, but now I went directly to the northwest of Wei State.
"Master Jun, I have a map in my house. There is no need for me to lie when talking about this kind of thing."
The officers controlled all the people in the logging site.
He found the map in the steward's house and immediately went to report to General Fu Hong.
General Fu Hong looked at this map. He didn't even expect that he would be able to reach the Jinxiu Mansion of Wei State.
This is very far from his original goal.
He recalled the location of Jinxiu Mansion in his mind.
The status of Jinxiu Mansion is not important at all. This is a border area that is mainly engaged in agriculture and textile industries and has a relatively small population.
But Wu'an Mansion, next door to Jinxiu Mansion, was an important transportation hub for the Wei State.
The most critical point is that next door to him is Yuanling Mansion, an important military town in the western part of Wei State.
It is the Yuanling Mansion where the 400,000 troops of Cao and Wei faced each other.
Wu'an Prefecture is one of the most important material transfer centers that supplies Yuanling Prefecture's army supplies.
If Wu'an Prefecture can be captured, Wei's frontline army will inevitably collapse.
When General Fu Hong thought of this, he shook his head. This is really a fantasy.
An important military town like Wu'an Prefecture must have at least a thousand troops to defend it.
The Wei State was even able to temporarily mobilize more than 10,000 militiamen to help defend the city.
As long as they persist for a few hours, the main force of Wei in Yuanling Prefecture will be able to return to support Wu'an Prefecture.
General Fu Hong only carried 3,000 men. Counting the casualties caused by crossing the rainforest, there are only 2,300 combat-effective soldiers.
He led more than 2,000 people to attack Wu'an Mansion, but the success rate was really low.
When General Fu Hong saw this map, he discovered that there was a big river between Wu'an Prefecture and Yuanling Prefecture.
This river, which is more than 20 meters wide, has only one railway bridge on it, and the bridge is divided into two levels.
The upper level of the bridge was built as an asphalt road for vehicles and pedestrians.
The lower level of the bridge is the railway, which leads to Yuanlingfu.
If the bridge can be destroyed, Yuanling Mansion's troops can quickly rush back to Wu'an Mansion by ship transfer. It will not be delayed much, and it will be delayed for a day or two at most, without affecting the overall situation.
However, the supplies shipped from Wu'an Prefecture to Yuanling Prefecture will be greatly affected.
Ships can transport small quantities of supplies without any problem.
But if you want to transport a large amount of materials through ship transshipment, it will take a lot of time just to load and unload the materials.
What's more, large cargo ships cannot enter this kind of inland river at all, and can only be transported by speedboats or wooden fishing boats, which is extremely inefficient.
The Wu'an Prefecture route has the largest carrying capacity. Once the supplies on this route are blocked.
The large amount of weapons and ammunition required by the Wei army could not be supplied to the front line in a short time.
Cao Jun simply lacked this strategic opportunity.
Once the Wei army's weapons and ammunition are insufficient, Cao Jun can rely on the suppression of ammunition to break through the Wei army's defense line.
General Fu Hong determined the next course of action.
This was the greatest contribution he could think of that he could make with just his own strength.
He looked at the Cao army uniforms worn by the soldiers.
If they follow the expected march route, they will start trouble in Wei State immediately.
Wearing Cao's military uniform will help create panic in the local area.
Now I need to go through a prefecture and go to Wu'an Prefecture for action.
Wearing Cao Jun's military uniform on the road is completely asking for death.
The Wei State will encircle and suppress their army at all costs.
Before achieving their goal, they must disguise their identities.
General Fu Hong asked his soldiers to occupy other logging camps and control this area.
He asked the injured soldiers to stay here in the forest farm to recuperate.
Their injuries were somewhat serious, and it was difficult to move around with these people.
If they were discovered by the Wei State and only the government police came, they would hide in the rain forest.
If it is an army encirclement and suppression, just choose to surrender.
These wounded soldiers were unable to resist the army's encirclement and suppression.
General Fu Hong would not tell these soldiers his goals.
Even if they surrender, it will not affect General Fu Hong's actions.
General Fu Hong settled the wounded soldiers, and he asked the healthy soldiers to change into lumberjack clothes.
Not far from the forest farm, there is a timber transfer center, where more than 20 large trucks transporting timber stop.
These are very crude tractors.
The price is very cheap and the technical requirements are not high.
In front is a truck with a single wheel and a diesel engine, and behind it is a huge truck.
The speed of these tractors is not very fast, but the trailers are very large and can barely transport people.
There are limited cars here in Jinxiu Mansion, so these tractors for transporting wood are already a great means of transportation.
It was impossible for General Fu Hong to send troops to seize cars in the city, otherwise his identity would be exposed and he would be encircled and suppressed by the Wei army.
They took a tractor pulling timber and headed directly to the bridge at the junction of Wu'an Prefecture and Yuanling Prefecture.
The tractor is not very fast, but the trailer behind it is very large, and the firearms and other supplies are packed in wooden boxes.
The soldiers sat on wooden boxes, facing the cold wind, and looked at the pedestrians on the road.
Cao Jun was dressed in shabby workers' clothes and crowded on the large truck.
The two dozen tractors walking on the road are quite eye-catching.
But seeing how these people were dressed, passers-by on the road thought they were some farm transporting workers.
General Fu Hong faced the howling cold wind and listened to the thumping sound of the tractor engine.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He saw the pedestrians on the road and was curious about them, but he did not think of them as Cao Jun. He knew that something big had happened.
The people of Wei did not expect that a Cao army could come to their hinterland.
He encountered some obstacles along the way.
General Fu Hong showed a tough attitude and could pass the level by paying a few silver coins, but he didn't want to do the same.
The people at the checkpoint wanted to check the things on the car. General Fu Hong immediately became furious and beat the people directly and passed the checkpoint.
He knew that as long as he didn't expose his identity and just broke through the border, even if someone died, he would not encounter an encirclement and suppression by the Wei army.
His journey was uneventful and he reached his target in the evening.
General Fu Hong took out his telescope and observed the situation of the bridge.
The bridge is very busy with transportation. A freight train passes almost every five minutes.
The highway on the upper level of the bridge is also busier, with more vehicles passing by.
He saw more than 300 people stationed on the east bank of the bridge, and two machine guns were also placed.
The people of Wei believe that in the hinterland of Wei, an army of this size is enough to deter those who want to destroy the bridge.
He looked at the soldiers under his command. They had been riding on tractors all the way and had not lost any physical strength.
Even though his body was affected a bit by traveling through the rainforest, he is still at 80% of his peak condition.
General Fu Hong gave an order, and Cao Jun began to charge towards the Wei army's position garrisoning the bridge.
With mental arithmetic but without intention, 2,300 people beat 300 people.
Cao's army is an elite army, while Wei's army is only a second-line army.
The battle was soon decided, and Cao's army immediately took control of the bridge.
General Fu Hong gave the order to blow up the bridge with cluster grenades.
As long as the key structures are blown up, the bridge's dead weight will cause it to collapse.
After General Fu Hong completed his operation, he sent the news to the Governor's Office at the same time as he moved.
