Chapter 1571 The special forces are ready to do a big vote
"Commander, we have now figured out all the conditions of the grain road from the Li Jiajun Chencang Granary to Longguan. There are three places that are most in line with our strategic goals and plans. They have been marked on the map. Please decide what we should do, Commander-in-Chief. Where did the food route go?"
"Very good." Zhang Tiangang nodded slightly in praise, climbed on the map, and carefully calculated the landforms near the three places marked on the board, as well as the distance to Longguan and Chencang County.
Zhang Tiangang is well aware that although his subordinates in the special forces are powerful, even in the Far Eastern Army's foreign wars in recent years, he and his special forces have made great achievements, and their role from a strategic level is not even better than that of the Far Eastern Army's Tornado Battalion. , Tiger Camp, Wild Bear Camp and any other camp head is small.
But Zhang Tiangang also understood that to eliminate the enemy head-on, it still required the troops of each battalion. The main thing they could do was to harass and cut off the enemy's food and grass through guerrilla warfare.
However, the Far East Army has done too many things in foreign wars in recent years, cutting off people's food routes and burning people's food and grass. Under Li Shimin's initiative, the Li Yuan Group paid great attention to the collection of the Far East Army's past achievements and various types of intelligence. How could it not be possible? Be prepared for food and grass.
Therefore, when the enemy sends heavy troops and takes precautions at all levels to protect food and grass, it does not mean that they are powerless, but the role they can play is greatly reduced.
Take this time as an example, they have been sneaking into the rear for quite a while. Although they can burn the enemy's food and grass, by estimation, they can only succeed once or twice at most. The enemy is always escorted by heavy troops. Several military camps have also been set up so that support can come quickly.
Therefore, after one or two successes, when the Li Army redeployed more troops, it would be difficult for them to completely cut off the enemy's food routes.
Therefore, Zhang Tiangang has been hiding here for many days with three thousand main force, and has not taken any action. He just wants to investigate in many ways, plan carefully, and then do something big, which can really cut off the enemy's food route.
However, this is not easy for a special forces team with only 3,000 troops, but it is not impossible.
From the direction of the Li Yuan Group's West Route Army, the grain roads from the Chencang County Granary to Longguan are all mountain roads with difficult terrain. If they find a suitable terrain, they can succeed.
For this reason, they have made full preparations these days.
In addition to sending a large number of spies to inquire about the terrain and the specific conditions of the food and baggage escorted by the other party, they also used the help of the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce, Xiaoyu Theater and the Military Intelligence Office to transport a large amount of ordnance and weapons and equipment in batches, including even small throwaway items. Stone machines and light crossbows, and of course a large number of grenades and explosive charges.
In fact, if they had not been waiting for these things to be delivered to make this vote more certain, they would have taken action long ago.
"Send the order, and in half an hour, head to target point 3." Zhang Tiangang stood up, with a look full of fighting spirit and eagerness to attack, and loudly issued the order he had been waiting for for several days.
He is the old man next to Wang Junlin and knows some information that others don't know.
According to Wang Junlin's plan, now that Yang Guang is dead and the Great Sui Dynasty has been destroyed, after the first phase of the attack on the Li Yuan Group is successful, the Far East Army Group will establish a country.
When the time comes to establish a formal court, the Far Eastern Army will confer military officers with titles, titles, and honors.
Based on the long-standing practice of the Far East Army and Wang Junlin's preference, the ranking must be based on military merit.
Although Zhang Tiangang was the first old man to follow Wang Junlin, he was even a real close minister.
However, due to the special nature of the special forces, Zhang Tiangang has never had the most military achievements. If he wants to become the top founding hero after the founding of the country, he must seize this opportunity.

"Second uncle, when will this battle be over? When will we be able to work as slaves? If we work for a few more days, I will be exhausted." On the mountain road, a team escorting grain, grass and baggage was engaged in a short journey.
During the break, the working people took the time to rest by relying on the grain trucks transporting grain and baggage. Their faces were full of despair and dullness.
"Yes! People die of exhaustion every day. If they escape, they will be caught and killed, and their families will be harmed. Alas!" The middle-aged man known as the second uncle also had a look of despair and resentment.
Although Li Yuan and his son realized that there were some problems with the demise of the Sui Dynasty II, one of the fundamental reasons was probably that they did not treat the people well and regarded them as pigs and dogs.
In addition, they were stimulated by some policies and systems under the Far East Army. Compared with other forces under the Far East Army, they were good to the people, but they were still far behind those under the Far East Army.
Even the Li Yuan Group's focus on the common people is only fifty steps to a hundred steps away from other forces. Otherwise, Wang Junlin's various secret hands would not have unleashed so many traitor armies in Hedong and Guanzhong.
.
This has a lot to do with the interest groups that Li Yuan Group currently represents. No matter how much Li Yuan and his son want to improve people's lives, the interest groups behind him are wealthy families, large, medium and small nobles. These people are never willing to share their interests with the hard work.
People, so fundamentally they haven’t changed.
Unless, as in history, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty and Li Yuan's death, Li Shimin strengthened the centralization of power through various means, wiped out some powerful families, and then made it clear in the Tang Empire that he correctly proposed that "water can carry a boat, and it can also carry a boat."
"Capsize the boat" will truly improve the living standards and status of the people.
But in fact, the improvement was extremely limited. After Li Shimin's death, many things returned to their original state, because there was not much difference between the early Tang Dynasty and the early Sui Dynasty. Behind the scenes, the powerful families were still in power and controlled the entire world. The royal family was still equivalent to the largest one.
A wealthy family.
In fact, it was not until Wu Zetian came to power in history that the seven sects and five surnames that had been inherited for thousands of years were wiped out one by one by various means, and even the entire clan was exterminated. Only then was the nine-level Zhongzheng system that had ruled the world since the Wei and Jin Dynasties completely dissipated, and all the aristocratic families
Only then did the abnormally clear hierarchy between the nobility and the common people really change, and the various exaggerated privileges of the aristocratic families and the various shocking injustices of the common people were eliminated.
This is one of the reasons why Wu Zetian has been smeared and slandered by various exaggerated slanders by literati in history.
There was no way, most of the literati at that time came from wealthy families and nobles, and Wu Zetian violated their interests.
…
…
The uncle and nephew were still complaining here. At this time, the nephew looked around and whispered: "Second uncle, I heard that the Far East Army treats the people very well and there is no labor."
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "This is impossible. During the war,
There will definitely be a need for a large number of people to escort the grain and grass. If they don't require labor service, who will escort the grain and grass to them?"
The young man whispered longingly: "Second uncle, I heard that the Far East Army has a branch called the Engineer and Troop Battalion, which is specially used to escort grain, grass and baggage battalions. There is no need to recruit people at all. Even if they need to collect labor, they can't do it."
Being able to pay wages is considered employment."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he also had a look of yearning on his face, but he finally shook his head and said: "I still don't believe in such a good thing. For many years, those nobles have always regarded us hard-working people as pigs and dogs.
Then the Far Eastern Army should be controlled by nobles and gentlemen who control the government and the army. How could they be so nice to people like us?
"Oh! If possible, I really want to go to the counties under the Far Eastern Army to see if their people are like the legend. They can live with enough food and clothing every day, and they don't have to be afraid of thieves or nobles and landlords.
The days of exploitation by the government." The young man still believed that what he heard about the Far Eastern Army was true. At this time, he heard the screams of laborers and watched the soldiers escorting the grain and grass begin to beat the laborers and shouted to set off.
, he quickly got up and prepared to push the grain cart, because he knew that if he moved slowly, he would be whipped.
The middle-aged man also climbed up as quickly as possible.
It was just that the young man inadvertently looked towards the woods beside the road for a while and suddenly shouted loudly: "Second uncle, look, there seems to be something shining in the woods."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man put his hand on the grain cart and looked back after hearing the words. However, because his eyesight was not very good and he was quite dim, he didn't see anything.
But he found that his nephew had opened his mouth wide and looked ahead in surprise, unable to even make a sound.
The middle-aged man quickly looked around and found that many of the laborers around him were also staring blankly at the woods to the west.
Then there was another messy sound coming from that direction, and only then did he finally see it clearly.
"Oh my God."
With an exclamation, the middle-aged man looked at the old forest. It was said to be an old forest in the mountains that was sixty miles wide. The leaves were so dense that they could almost block the sun. If you were not a local veteran hunter, you would definitely be dizzy after entering.
, can’t tell north from south.
For many years, no one has liked to walk from Longguan to Guanzhong and out through this mountain forest, let alone hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.
The early winter sunlight shines into the forest through the gaps in the leaves, making the steel armor on the special forces officers and soldiers shine brightly.
After receiving the report from the spies and walking to the edge of the forest, Zhang Tiangang ordered the soldiers to rest for the last time, then put on their steel armor and marched in column.
Although the opposite side looked like just a group of Li family soldiers transporting grain and grass, Zhang Tiangang ordered the army to form a battle formation, divided the troops into three sides, surrounded the grain and grass team as quickly as possible, and then held a quick crossbow.
He walked out with a long gun.
Following Zhang Tiangang's order, a group of soldiers from the special operations team put down the masks on their helmets. They walked over firmly, ruthlessly trampling branches and weeds into the soil.
This group of troops, whose size was unknown, silently emerged from the woods onto the road.
