Chapter 556: Mines of Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrols
Among the Jurchen Eight Banners, the other flags, under the leadership of Dolgon, sent men and horses to Mongolia and the Xuanfu area of the Ming Dynasty to loot together.
You must know that these men and horses who go out to fight under various flags will never hand over all the property they have seized to the public school.
In the army of Houjin, it is already an obvious rule to hide the spoils of war and divide the seizures privately, and all the top and bottom of the Eight Banners are involved in it.
The scale is huge, and the interests are so wide that even Huang Taiji, who was committed to eliminating all kinds of shortcomings in the Houjin army, can only turn a blind eye and dare not manage it too much.
The other banners of men and horses all knelt on Dolgon and ran to Mongolia and Daming to make a fortune, but the part of their soldiers and horses who stayed in Houjin had to fight a tough battle with the Huaxia army here.
Moreover, the family members who stayed in the rear of the country even had to post food to supplement the soldiers and horses on the front line, so the people and horses of these banners would naturally have opinions. It is impossible for human beings to endure such differential treatment.
What's more, the grain and grass are not handed over and finished, the rear is so far away from the front line, and the grain and grass must be escorted by the various bunkers between Fuzhou and Gaizhou along the way.
The personnel who escorted the grain also asked them to come out with a few flags that confronted the Huaxia Army on the front line, because, according to the rules of Houjin, each flag is in charge of its own flag. And the few flags that made trouble did not want to escort.
If Huang Taiji had not been cleaned up by Chen Xin, then according to the way this person has always behaved, as well as the arrangements for military reform made before his death, this kind of disadvantage should already belong to the direction of the next reform.
It's a pity that there is no if, Huang Taiji died, died in a stable in a nameless place in the ice and snow, after his death, the four major political Baylor did not accept anyone, and the new candidate for the new Jin Khan could not be determined, and the previous efforts made by Huang Taiji's reform were immediately abandoned by those whose interests were damaged. Now, the grain and grass policy of the Houjin Dynasty has not changed in the slightest, which has caused such a storm and allowed the Huaxia Army to take advantage of the loophole.
When Liaodong was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty established a complete military fort system.
Under this system, all parts of Liaodong have formed a regulation of one fort in ten miles and one post station in sixty miles.
Later, Nurhachi rebelled, and the murderer who didn't know anything destroyed the transmission system in the entire Liaodong region, and the normal mail system here completely collapsed.
After Huang Taiji came to power, he began to restore the chaotic post station system, which was also done in accordance with the regulations of the Ming Dynasty.
After a sudden attack on the post station not far north of Fuzhou, Houjin could only increase the garrisons in each fort, so that the men and horses that were originally not enough to garrison Fuzhou in the eyes of Duoduo Yuetuo and others were diluted a lot. The Huaxia army did not take advantage of the winter to attack Fuzhou City, so that they were not so worried.
However, even in this way, the grain transport team was constantly attacked by the Huaxia army, although the roads were inconvenient in winter, and the Huaxia army rarely carried out large-scale attacks.
However, even if the movement of large forces became reduced, the transportation and patrol activities of the Houjin army were greatly restricted.
Because they began to encounter a large number of ambushes with mines.
In the Huaxia Army, the use of mines for combat has been going on for a long time.
Of course, this is very long, and it is calculated according to the history of the Huaxia Army, after all, even if it is counted from the time when the Xuan Army was a pioneer in the Houjin Army before, the Huaxia Army has only experienced less than 8 years.
The tradition of using landmines in the Huaxia Army can be traced back to the third year of the founding of the army. It can be said that landmines have grown up with the Huaxia Army.
Later, after discovering that this weapon had an excellent effect on defensive operations, the ordnance department conducted in-depth research on this and designed various types of mines for the front-line troops to try and optimize.
At present, the mines used by the Huaxia Army to deal with grain transport teams and patrols near Fuzhou are powerful mines that are specially used to deal with transport vehicles.
After this kind of mine is fired, the energy generated by its explosion can blow up a climbing plow full of grain, and the livestock that pull the climbing plow to the ground together, and by the way, it can also blow up several Houjin soldiers escorting the climbing plow.
The First Mixed Brigade of the Chinese Army, with the support of the General Staff Department, set up a long-range reconnaissance patrol unit in order to be able to transfer elite personnel to raid and harass stations in the rear of Houjin.
The long-range reconnaissance patrol unit is a specially formed unit specially formed among the best of the best in the Chinese Army, which is used to carry out cross-cutting operations behind enemy lines and to carry out strategic reconnaissance patrols.
When long-range reconnaissance patrols use this new type of pressurized landmines, they usually take advantage of the cover of darkness to sneak into the official road of Houjin, and then cover them with a layer of snow as a shield after laying the mines.
After the mines have been laid, they will mark the location of the mines on a detailed operational map. In this way, the next time we carry out the task of laying mines, or when the large forces of the Huaxia Army come over in the future, we will not let our own people suffer.
As for the grain transport teams and scouts on the Houjin side, this kind of trigger-type mine is really harmful, and the Houjin army, which was engaged in the first few explosions, did not dare to continue to carry out the task of pressing grain.
Later, it was only after the superiors dealt with a few armored soldiers who were unwilling to go any further with military law that the grain transportation operation resumed.
However, since then, the Houjin army has been praying to the gods for blessing when walking on the road, and each grain truck has been kept at least 30 meters away from the front and back, so as not to trigger a single mine and affect multiple grain trucks.
Later, after discovering that the mine was a pressure explosion rather than a fuse pulled by a person, they had to send a few people to the front of the food transport team each time.
It was not until the weather finally got colder and the snow layer under the heavy snow became thicker and thicker, and the members of the long-distance reconnaissance patrol of the Huaxia Army slowly became more difficult to survive in the wilderness, and the action of laying mines stopped.
The long-distance reconnaissance patrol unit directly under the command of the First Mixed Brigade of the Huaxia Army, which had been operating outside for half a winter, gradually withdrew to the Jinzhou defensive line.
At this time, the time has also reached the end of the lunar month, whether it is the Jurchens, or the Mongols, let alone the Han people, everyone has to prepare for the New Year.
