Chapter 363: Accidents

Zachdan laughed and stretched out a thumbs up, "The analysis is good, completely echoing the first set of battle plans we have scheduled this time."

Next, it depends on whether the Jin army dares to come tomorrow, if they really come out, then we will save a lot of trouble. ”

Although the General Staff, Zachdan and others unanimously judged that the Houjin army could not bear this kind of robbery and would take the initiative to attack, until the next day, the military's intelligence system did not receive any report about the enemy troops leaving the city.

If the enemy does not come out, it is impossible for the Huaxia army to wait, that is not the fighting style of the Huaxia military.

Early in the morning of the third day, all the personnel of the Lushun Dispatch Army set off to meet the sun that had just risen over the horizon.

The auxiliaries marched side by side with the soldiers, using their thin and resilient bodies to help the combat troops deliver logistical supplies.

These Liaodong men, who have only eaten a few full meals, are like being beaten with chicken blood, and in terms of pace, they are not at all lagging behind the combat troops, and there is also a faint momentum of surpassing.

No matter how much chicken blood fights, they can't ignore their weak bodies, they haven't made up for it, and they haven't done rehabilitation training to make such a big move, this is to God.

With this action, the temporary officers of each platoon in the startled auxiliary team hurriedly suppressed the steps of the auxiliary soldiers, which allowed the marching speed to return to normal values.

In less than an hour, the Lushun dispatch army walked away, and several war horses in front galloped rapidly, and the urgent report was that a large number of Houjin cavalry troops in front were coming to the south.

Because the enemy army was all cavalry, the scattered forces of the second reconnaissance battalion could not be assembled in a short period of time to get close to the reconnaissance, but a rough estimate from a distance showed that the number of the enemy's cavalry was 600 horses.

Of course, the enemy army is the Eight Banners of soldiers and horses, and when they go out, it is naturally indispensable to bring a part of the coats that have long proved "loyalty", and the number of coats carried by this group of enemy troops is about 400 people.

The enemy is coming very quickly, and there are still about 5 kilometers to go from your side.

Zachdan's face was already as dark as the bottom of a pot, and since he followed Chen Xin to raise troops, he had never suffered a loss in battlefield intelligence.

Not to mention small battles, it is true that there is no way to accurately detect the enemy's movements in those battles of dozens of people, but when there is a big battle with more than 1,000 people, does the own side not count the enemy's action route to death?

However, the geese are pecked by the geese all year round, and the hunter actually misses the time!

Just today, when he Zachdan led the army alone to open up the territory for the kingdom, and fought bloodily with the enemy, he actually let the enemy cavalry rush to 10 kilometers in front of his team before being discovered, which was really the first time in the war that the entire Huaxia army opened the world.

If he is captured by the enemy, then he Zachdan will be a sinner in the kingdom.

His good brother, good big brother trusts him so much, if he misses, isn't he losing his big brother's face.

At this time, the deputy commander-in-chief also rushed over from the front, he came to Zachdan's side, lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Commander-in-chief, the situation of the enemy army is unknown, for the sake of safety, is our army temporarily going to withdraw to the camp built before and hold on?" ”

Zachdan's mind was confused for a while, but as a veteran of a hundred battles, he immediately came to his senses, and at this time, he didn't care about asking why this happened, and he didn't care about thinking about the fate of failure.

He knew very well how fast the cavalry would be if they were determined to hurry, and if there was no other obstruction, the enemy's horse corps would rush into his own ranks in less than a quarter of an hour.

After hearing Xiao Fu's question, Zachdan still waved his hand and said, "There is no need to retreat, most of our army are infantry, and it is less than a quarter of an hour, and it is too late for us to withdraw to the previous camp."

Besides, the total number of enemies is only a thousand, and I don't believe that our warriors will be worse than the Tartars!

It is rare for the Houjin army to dare to come out and fight with our army in the field, and the opportunity is rare, so let's find a battlefield near here, and let the second reconnaissance battalion assemble to conduct a movement war and slow down the enemy's marching speed. ”

As he spoke, Zachdan quickly scanned the surrounding environment, hoping to find a battlefield suitable for his superior firepower as quickly as possible.

Finally, he pointed to a gentle hill running east-west on the side of the official road two kilometers away from the flank and said, "Order the whole army, march hastily, and seize the top of the slope." ”

"The 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Infantry Regiment is arrayed on the hillside to the enemy's side, and the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Infantry Regiment is not allowed to retreat over the ridge without my orders."

"Let the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Infantry Regiment stand by on the side of the hill against the enemy and serve as a reserve."

"Release all the scout cavalry and cover the cavalry battalion and infantry battalion formation."

Xiao Fu saw that the commander-in-chief was so calm and calm, and he could give orders step by step and clearly, and he also stabilized his mind, at this time, he felt a little blushing at the way he looked just now.

However, now is not the time to think about those things, he immediately gathered his mind, thought about it for a while, and estimated that Zachdan wanted to lure the Houjin army into battle, deliberately exposing the second infantry battalion in the direction where the enemy was.

Knowing the operational intentions of his commander-in-chief, he was able to carry out orders more clearly, and after he figured this out, he immediately assigned tasks to the heralds.

The execution of the order soon began, flags flew in the ranks, and officers at all levels of the battalion, company, platoon, and squad kept giving loud orders.

Soon, a mixed team of more than 2,000 infantry and cavalry began to run forward, and the auxiliaries also quickened their pace, following their designated formations, and the bullet boxes, artillery shell boxes, and logistics supply boxes on their backs collided with each other and made a noisy sound.

The cavalry battalions of the front team climbed on horseback one after another, and rumbled forward under the guidance of the thousand general flags.

Zakdan led the guard company and his staff team, and quickly overtook the infantry and rushed to the top of the hill after the cavalry.

Beyond the ridgeline, the rolling hills on the surrounding ground appeared like waves.

Two kilometers below the hillside, some figures on horseback were chasing each other, and smoke and dust were billowing from the direction of the official road covered by the hills, and there was a faint sound like thunder, obviously a large number of cavalry were approaching.

The follow-up reconnaissance cavalry of the Lushun Dispatch Army continued to rush down the gentle slope and plunge into the cavalry guerrilla two kilometers away to cover the formation of the large army.

"Now, who's going to tell me what's going on with the sudden appearance of this enemy today? What are so many intelligence units under our Ministry of State Security doing? What are the intelligence support units sent by the General Staff doing? Also, what are the reconnaissance units sent by our army in advance doing? Why did the enemy not find out until the enemy cavalry rushed 10 kilometers in front of us? ”

Zachdan's series of questions stopped all the officers present, and the officers at the scene were still as confused as Zachdan, and they didn't know why such a thing happened, so they couldn't answer Zachdan's questions.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, if we can't find the reason, then we can't even make corrections, what if we encounter today's situation, or even a more critical situation, when we encounter a combat situation, let the enemy's superior forces surround our army in a bad environment?"
