After temporarily placing food and ammunition supplies, Ma Jizu and others moved much faster. A day and a half after setting off, Ma Jizu met the messenger soldiers sent by Sun Qisheng halfway, and learned from the soldiers who broke out about the difficulties faced by Sun Qisheng's headquarters.
.
There were seven to eight hundred Argentine troops besieging Sun Qi's Sanctuary. Ma Jizu's more than thirty men fought hard against Argentina's valley defense line, which was undoubtedly a defeat. Therefore, after carefully considering the gains and losses, Ma Jizu decided to return along the original route, and then took out two of the transported supplies.
75mm artillery and five heavy machine guns, striving to take advantage of the firepower advantage of the artillery and heavy machine guns to tear a hole in the Argentinian army's defense line and create a way out for Sun Qisheng's troops.
The battle plan envisioned by Ma Jizu faced many difficulties even under the most optimistic circumstances. The valley where Sun Qisheng and other surviving troops were located was more than 300 miles away from the place where the supplies were hidden. There was also an important Argentine military town between the two places. Although the military town was in
Most of the Argentine troops were sent to besiege the Sun Qi Sanctuary, but the hundreds of Argentine soldiers who stayed behind were not something that thirty soldiers could handle.
When setting off, Ma Jizu led 30 soldiers to advance alternately by waterway and land. The target was relatively small and difficult to be discovered by the Argentine troops in the military town. After carrying artillery, heavy machine guns and other weapons, the troops could only choose to follow the waterway all the way.
Driving, the risk of exposure is greatly increased.
The journey to reinforce the besieged troops in the valley was full of risks. After successfully arriving outside the valley and breaking the defense line, Sun Qisheng and others also faced the difficult choice of abandoning dozens of wounded soldiers. The situation was extremely unfavorable to the National Defense Forces. Ma Jizu had no better way to solve the crisis.
At this time, the only option is to take immediate action.
The rescue force of more than 30 people returned halfway on the road. The team with two surviving messenger soldiers was not only exhausted, but also had low morale due to the news.
Ma Jizu, like his soldiers, forced his exhausted body to continue marching for more than ten miles. At this time, the soldiers exploring the road in front reported that unknown armed forces were found in the mountains and forests.
Our troops are thin and tired. If the armed force that appears is Argentine troops, the thirty or so soldiers will have to be left in the wilderness until they can rescue the troops besieged in the valley.
After Ma Jizu heard about the enemy's situation, he immediately tensed up, took out the officer's gun from his waist, and quickly followed the soldiers to the front.
"Company Commander, look, they seem to be planning to repair in the woods." The soldier who returned from the reconnaissance pointed forward and reminded in a low voice.
"Well, her people are stationed near the woods directly ahead and the rivers on both sides. If we want to return to the material and ammunition settlement point, we must pass through them."
Ma Jizu put down the monocular telescope in front of him and beckoned the messenger soldiers he met on the way to him: Brother Zhou, let's see which force they are armed with.
The soldiers who broke out took Ma Jizu's telescope, observed it carefully for a moment, and said: Captain Ma, this unit should belong to the Gaucho Davis's armed forces.
"Is he the Gaucho rebel leader who is as famous as Mr. Sun?" Ma Jizu said with some impression.
"Yes, Mr. Sun had cooperated with Davis' troops several times before he was besieged. We sold a large part of their weapons to us."
"No wonder Davis's army grew rapidly in northern Argentina. It turned out to be with the help of Mr. Sun."
Ma Jizu nodded, then lowered his head and carefully tasted the message hidden in the words of the messenger soldier. After more than ten minutes, Ma Jizu's brooding brows gradually relaxed, and finally he said with joy, "Brothers, I want to save Mr. Sun and everyone."
What can we do to the brothers who are surrounded?"
After the words fell, Ma Jizu immediately felt that he was still on the periphery of Davis's unit, and then lowered his voice and said, "Davis and Mr. Sun have a relationship of working together, and judging from the current situation, Davis's unit is probably being attacked."
The Argentine encirclement and suppression troops drove out their old nest and had no choice but to lead their men, women, children, old and weak people to move in. At this time, we used the stored weapons and food as gifts and invited Davis to send troops to rescue Mr. Sun. I think as long as Davis is not short-sighted,
We will not reject our offer."
"Captain Ma, I believe Davis will understand the meaning of death. But you have also seen that although there are thousands of people in the mountains and forests, most of them still use cold weapons such as bows and arrows, shuttles, etc. to attack with them.
The 700 to 800-strong Argentinian siege troops who were waiting for the siege had little chance of winning. Even if Davis wanted to help Deputy Commander Sun rescue the siege, he would not let his men die in vain."
The messenger soldier said directly.
Ma Jizu was not embarrassed by the other party's blunt words. Instead, he lowered his voice and explained, "To rescue Mr. Sun, we do not necessarily need to directly break the siege of the Argentine troops. We can change the direction and start from the rear of the Argentine troops."
"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao?" the messenger soldier said suddenly.
"Yes, it is to surround Wei and rescue Zhao." Ma Jizu retreated down the hillside where he was observing, returned to the location of the troops, took a branch and drew several locations on the ground and said, "Iarreta is one of the five existing heavy military assembly points in Argentina.
In the battle where the Argentine troops attacked Mr. Sun's camp, there were hundreds of corpses left. In addition to the seven to eight hundred troops besieging the valley, Iarreta is now short of troops and is at its weakest defense. If we join forces at this time,
Nearly a thousand armed forces under Davis suddenly attacked the city of Iarreta. How do you think the Argentine troops besieging the valley would react?"
"Iarreta is an important military base for Argentine troops in the northern provinces. Once the city of Iarreta is in danger of being breached, the frontline encirclement and suppression troops will definitely return for rescue as soon as possible."
The messenger soldier looked down at the transaction map drawn on the ground and unconsciously followed Ma Jizu's train of thought. Then he noticed something was wrong and asked, "Captain Ma, the Argentine siege troops will only be in Iarreta City."
We will withdraw from the siege and return to the rescue only when we are in danger of the city being broken. If the attack by us and Davis' troops cannot shake the defense line of Iarreta City, the defenders in the city will not issue a return order to the front line. In this case, our work will not be in vain.
One game?”
The messenger soldier's doubts are not unreasonable. As one of the only five military towns in the north of Argentina, Iarreta City has not been breached in the previous great rebellion, which shows that its defensive capabilities cannot be underestimated. Of course,
Ma Jizu did not underestimate the defensive capabilities of Iareta City. After listening to the other party's question, he calmly explained, "Brother Zhou has followed Lord Sun to fight in northern Argentina for more than half a year. He must know the situation in the northern region better than me."
"More." Ma Jizu smiled and praised the other party, and then said, "The city of Iareta is backed by a tributary of the Paraná River. There is a fortress on each of the three necessary roads leading to the city: the north, south, and east. The northern fortress
It is located behind the city, farthest from our route, and can be eliminated first. The southern fortress is the farthest from the city. According to our observations when we arrived, there were about two hundred troops stationed in the fortress, while the eastern fortress is less than three kilometers away from the city of Iarreta.
, because it is the closest to the city and has the least defensive troops, but it is also difficult to attack. When attacking, the troops need to be prepared for reinforcements from the troops in Iareta City."
Ma Jizu paused, and after the surrounding soldiers understood for a while, he continued, "In order to force the defenders of Iareta City to issue a rescue order, one of the three defensive fortresses must be breached, so that the defenders in the city can feel the danger of the city being breached.
, so before joining forces with Davis to fight, we must first determine the main target of the attack. The northern fortress among the three fortresses was eliminated first, while the eastern fortress and the southern fortress each have their own advantages and disadvantages when attacking, but the things that are important in raid operations suddenly
Therefore, the eastern fortress closest to the city of Iareta is the most suitable target for attack, as long as we capture the northern fortress before the defenders of Iareta react. Leading to
The gate to Iareta City will be opened, huge holes will appear in the enemy's defense system, and the goal of rescuing Lord Sun's troops will be achieved."
After talking about the battle plan he had come up with in one breath, Ma Jizu found that among the more than thirty soldiers, only the messenger named Zhou showed a look of enlightenment on his face, while the other soldiers had blank looks on their faces.
The proportion of officers in the National Defense Force who know how to read maps and direct operations is not high. Because the messenger soldiers are selected special forces, they can understand simple maps, while other soldiers who are responsible for transportation tasks have just begun to learn literacy. As for identifying maps,
The slightly advanced knowledge is actually a bit unfamiliar.
Ma Jizu gave up the opportunity to show his strategic talents in front of the soldiers, arranged for a messenger soldier who had some relationship with Davis to act as a messenger to contact the other party, and then ordered the remaining soldiers to remain vigilant and wait for news from Davis.
