Chapter 1124 Little Bold Captain
As the commander of the 3,000 reinforcements to the Aid Brigade of Yinan Village, Chi Liang was actually very depressed.
Unlike Lieutenant Colonel Xu Lei, who wants to climb up, Major Chi Liang, who is nearly 40 years old, hopes to finish the battle with the kingdom people and return to the country safely, and accompany his adoptive parents to study this life with his wife.
To put it bluntly, the captain of the Third Infantry Brigade of the 79th Infantry Regiment is one of the rare "decadent" in the Black Hawk Army. He is the kind who does not seek merit but does not seek to be wrong. Being ordered to stay at the logistics base is definitely in line with his school of work.
But unexpectedly, the powerful infantry brigade would have been ambushed by the kingdoms, not only did they need reinforcements. Could it be that the captains of the other four infantry brigades grew up eating shit? They boasted every day that an infantry brigade could face the kingdoms' infantry division, but now that they are only ambushing them, are they scared?
Chi Liang, who received the order from the division headquarters to lead the infantry brigade and four baggage squadrons to reinforce, cursed his colleagues who had been awesome all day long along the way. But no matter how much he scolded, he didn't want to fight or not, the division headquarters ordered him. No matter how unhappy Chi Liang had to lead his troops on the road. Moreover, this time, the highest rank of the squadron captain of the four baggage squadrons was only the captain. He was the only infantry brigade captain with the rank of major, and the highest commander of the reinforcement team with a number of more than 3,100 people could only be the leader.
Although the major of the Black Hawk Army who doesn't want to make much military achievements and just wants to be safe and safe, he must not be said to be a fool, especially the more he wants to live safely, he must be more cautious. As soon as he leaves Luojin County, Chi Liang sent a full infantry squadron as a vanguard, leading at least six miles ahead of the large army, which is enough to ensure that the mortars of the kingdom cannot hit the main force.
Not to mention taking a 200-person infantry squadron as a vanguard, and once they encounter a dangerous land, this person has to send a second infantry squadron to climb up the ridge and look at it without any danger before ordering the troops to continue moving forward. It is not to say that they can only send a few soldiers to poke the bushes on the hillside with bayonets and shoot a few shots without finding any abnormal situation.
His caution made the Niu Er special team, who had been around 500 meters away from them in the mountains and forests, smacked at it. It was not easy to hit this group of cautious Black Hawk Empire people.
Being cautious can avoid ambushing and sneak attacks, but the corresponding marching speed will slow down. In the first three hours, the 3,000 Black Hawk Army only walked 20 miles, and the marching speed of 7 miles per hour was like a snail climbing. The location reported to the division headquarters every hour made Wei Fengling almost glaring at the map. If he hadn't held a magnifying glass, he would not have found where the reinforcements he sent had reached.
As time goes by, the longer the time he loses contact with the 40th Brigade, the wording in Wei Fengling's telegram to reinforcements becomes more and more intense, especially three hours ago, the telegram clearly told Major Chi Liang that if he could not report the situation of the 40th Brigade of the Infantry after another three hours, he would not have to go back to the 20th Division.
A lieutenant general issued such military orders directly to an officer of the major level. You can also imagine that the division commander was so anxious that the 40th Infantry Brigade was too important, and the reinforcements were marching too slowly.
There was no choice but to issue a military order to speed up the marching. In addition to the vanguard squadron continuing to search for alert along the way, the large army had no time to check and take one step like before.
Even so, after letting go of an infantry squadron leading the Black Hawk Army, he finally waited for the main force of the Black Hawk Army to arrive at the forefront observation post, all the officers and soldiers of the 12th Division and the Independent Regiment waited for an hour more than previously expected.
If Liu Lang hadn't said through the secret telegram from the special forces, he was sure that the Black Hawk Army would arrive, and both leaders of the 12th Division almost thought that the Black Hawk Army reinforcements found something wrong and dared not come.
At this time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was two hours after the "Dawn" battle was over and even the battlefield was cleaned. It was only half an hour before the final deadline for the 20th Division's Master Wei Fengling gave a "depressed" major.
"The whole army stopped moving forward." Chi Liang, who had been patrolling the mountain ahead for a long time, waved his hand on the tall horse and ordered. He hesitated in his eyes, and looked at the deputy captain who had already run over the vanguard of the mountain from the front, "What is the news about Lieutenant O of the 2nd Infantry Squadron?"
"Major, there is a river valley ahead, with a relatively wide terrain. The 2nd Infantry Squadron's command has returned, and Lieutenant Ou has led all the 2nd Infantry Squadron to pass, and everything is normal." The deputy captain with the rank of captain replied respectfully.
"Everything is normal?" Chi Liang was not relieved, but was more suspicious. "Bastard, this place is getting closer and closer to the battlefield. How could the kingdomites not stop the deployment of our reinforcements? This is not normal. Order..."
Just as Chi Liang was preparing to order another infantry squadron under his command to enter the river valley and conduct a detailed search as if it was beginning, he heard a sound of horse hooves coming from the mountain road.
The Black Hawks hid on the side of the mountain road to hide.
A Black Hawk Sergeant jumped off his horse, "Report to the Major, my 2nd Squadron discovered the enemy on the mountain road one mile from the river valley. The kingdoms built positions on both sides of the mountain road, and Lieutenant Ou asked for tactical guidance."
When Chi Liang heard that he had discovered the enemy situation, he lit up, "Na Ni? Have you discovered the army of the kingdom? How many people and how much firepower equipment are there?"
"The number of people should be no less than one thousand people, and the firepower of light and heavy machine guns should be no less than ten places. Since there has not been a large-scale exchange of fire, no heavy equipment such as artillery were found." The sergeant stood at attention and replied.
"Okay, all the forces of the Kingdom people should be besieging the Imperial Army of the 40th Brigade, and they actually used almost two infantry battalions to resist reinforcements. Moreover, this position is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the commander of the Kingdom people is also very good." Chi Liang looked at the map and listened to the sergeant's report, and a smile appeared on his face. "Sir Ou ordered Lieutenant to quickly seize the commanding heights in front of the Kingdom people's positions, and no large-scale exchange of fire with the Kingdom people before our main force arrived."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!" "Yes!" The sergeant jumped on his horse and ran towards the future.
"Major, why are you..." The deputy captain of the infantry brigade standing on one side obviously didn't understand his chief's reaction.
Of course, there are many similarities among them. Once the generals in ancient kingdom laugh, there will always be deputy generals who jump out to hold their feet: "Why do generals laugh?"
Since the Tang Dynasty, I have been learning to learn how to cook, make knives and dress from the kingdom. It is normal to learn how to flatter and flatter the horse.
"Takahashi, if it were you, you knew that your opponent would have strong reinforcements, how many people would you send to station in the dangerous ground to block it?" Chi Liang's face relaxed and he discussed with his deputy.
"If I were the commander of the Kingdom, at least one infantry regiment would be sent. Even if all members died in battle, they would have to be dragged to the end of the battle on the main battlefield." This Black Hawk Army captain was also a wonderful person. He had a decisive face and discussed the battlefield situation with his boss, regardless of whether his brigade commander and corps captain were still in dire straits.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. It is better to be in charge of the county magistrate. Following his own leader is what a little captain should do.
"Okay! The kingdoms can ambush my 40th Infantry Brigade here. The commander is very bold and excellent. But why did they send only two infantry battalions to block the reinforcements that may arrive? That only shows one problem. The battle on the main battlefield is very fierce. The 6,000th Army of the 40th Infantry Brigade cannot be eaten in one bite, which has led to a serious shortage of troops. This fully proves that our imperial army is still fighting bravely and is not as critical as imagined.
." Chi Liang's face was relaxed, "So, I ordered the 2nd Infantry Squadron to quickly seize the commanding heights before the Kingdom people blocked the position. When my main force arrived, I focused on the firepower points on the position with infantry artillery and mountain artillery. Even if the terrain was beneficial to them, our army would be able to attack and overcome it. One gram of the position here, the siege of the Brigade Commander and the Corps Commander will be resolved. If the Kingdom people are not so stupid, you understand?"
"Yes! Your Excellency Major is wise." A hint of worship appeared on the face of the Black Hawk Captain.
"The entire army was ordered to take the 1st Infantry Squadron as the first sequence, and the 4th Infantry Squadron protected the baggage squadron behind the hall, and the four squadrons of the baggage corps were in the center to quickly pass the river valley to reach the battlefield." Chi Liang, who had turned over and sat on a tall horse, issued a military order with great enthusiasm.
This battle was not difficult at all. Since the Second Squadron of the Vanguard discovered the enemy situation, Chi Liang, who had always been the first to save his life, had finally fallen to the ground since leaving Luojin County.
He was not afraid of fighting with the kingdoms, but was afraid of being ambushed by the kingdoms like a few Shangguans. There were mountains on both sides, and shooting from the mountain was simple. The cautious major's army and horses were all gray and not outstanding at all. He was afraid that the ambushed kingdoms would be fired as live targets.
"Takahashi, when he was sending power to the division commander, he said that our army had arrived near Shangling Village, and was still 7 miles away from the location where Major General Zou Yun and others encountered him. Although the specific situation was unknown, the sound of artillery was very loud and the war would be extremely urgent. Our army should fight bravely to kill the enemy and save friendly troops from water and fire."
This is definitely talking lies with your eyes open. The bastard's sound is very loud? The Black Eagle Army Captain, who had just finished slapping the slap in Shangguan, went to find the communication soldier with a sad face. He really doesn't want to take the blame for the lie about the military order!
But, perhaps this guess of the Major is a fact? The possibility is at least 99%!
If we were to say that the more than 6,000 people of the 40th Infantry Brigade were swallowed up by the kingdom in six hours, it would be better to say that they could counterattack Luojin County and counterattack Wenzhang Pass now!
