Chapter 421: Military Discussion
Mobile reading
"Over there, the king has sent someone for his own use." Seeing the three elders walk into the command room, Maruyama Naoki, who was sitting at the command table, stood up and bowed slightly to them, "The other party's intention is very obvious, and he wants us to let them live." ”
"Huh?" Hong Jie couldn't help but be stunned, "This hasn't started fighting yet, and you're going to surrender?" ”
"Yes, you only fired two shots, and they didn't even fight!" A man beside Maruyama said unsatisfactorily, "I have never fought such a battle, this group of thieves is so unwarlike!" ”
Zhan Jie and Hong Jie glanced at him, this big sweat was burly, his face was dark, he looked like he had spent a lot of time in the sun, and his big hands were also swarthy. This person has a full face, a pair of round eyes like copper bells, a goatee on his chin, and two mustaches on his upper lip, which droop slightly at the corners of his mouth. He is about 1.78 meters tall and looks like he weighs 200 pounds, although his winter coat covers his muscles, but at a glance he knows that this person is definitely a good fighter.
Seeing the two of them staring at him, he was actually a little embarrassed, and hurriedly arched his hand, "Zheng Zhihu in Xia Nan'an has been to Dongfang Port and has also negotiated with the elders. ”
"Zheng Zhihu?" Hong Jie hurriedly took two steps forward, holding Zheng Zhihu's shoulders with both hands and looking up and down carefully, "Sure enough, it's Long Zhihu Yong, the second master of the python is the second master of the python!" Sure enough, it's a tiger general! ”
Zheng Zhihu looked curious, although he said that he had long been famous in the southern Fujian Ocean with his brother Zheng Zhilong, but in front of this group of Chinese, whether in Dongfang Port or here, as long as they heard his Zheng Zhihu's name all said "Long Zhihu Yong", the patriarch in front of him was even more excited, as if he had seen a rare animal. He Zheng Zhihu was once sprayed by the Chinese police pepper spray in Dongfang Port, and half of his eyes were blue, which was really embarrassing to say, but this group of elders were very interested when they heard their names, and he really couldn't understand what was going on.

"Hong Jie, don't make trouble," Yuan Zhenli patted Hong Jie on the shoulder, and then said embarrassedly to Zheng Zhihu, "I'm sorry, Second Master Python, our brother is a man of temperament, and he has admired the second master for a long time, and he finally saw me today, so I can't control it." ”
Zheng Zhihu smiled awkwardly, Hong Jie also knew that he was out of shape, so he quickly let go of his hand and took a step back, and the two fingers of his right hand were on the brim of his hat and gently put his chin on the brim to show respect.
"Sit down, we need to know the current situation before discussing a truce between the two sides." When Maruyama saw that everyone had arrived, he beckoned everyone to sit down, and there was a sand table with a large size on the command table, which was built based on aerial pictures and information given by the Wu Dynasty. The location of Taiping City is circled at this moment, and a river sticks to the city wall from west to east, and then converges with the Fen River in a T-shape.
"Given that it's winter, and everywhere is already frozen, and these rivers are all frozen at the moment, then whether it's a river or not, there is nothing to stop the enemy from escaping." Maruyama said and pointed to the sand table, which he had only seen for the first time when he had come to the Foreign Legion for officer training, and before that they could only draw curves on sand or dirt, but this kind of "abstract" drawing could not reflect the differences in terrain at all, and often made the commander ignore some inadvertent details when commanding. Now with this kind of sand table, the nearby terrain can be piled up through the sand table, and it is clear whether it is a mountain, a river or a slope, and the characteristics of the terrain can be intuitively felt when setting a plan of action or telling the combat objectives to the subordinate officers.
"The Taiping area as a whole presents a high terrain in the west and low in the east, and the east is almost a flat river," said the pilot Lin Jinlai, "There is a hill about 10 kilometers to the west, which cuts off the route to the west, and can only detour from the north, and it is about more than 10 kilometers to detour." ”
Shui Chen, who was sitting next to Lin Jinlai, put down the pen in his hand and stopped recording, raised his head and said, "There is a temple on a low hill in the west of the city, and that position seems to be able to observe the nearby area, which is suitable for use as a commanding height, if an artillery position is set up there, it is enough to suppress all targets within three kilometers of the vicinity, and at the same time," Shui Chen stood up, pointed to the mountain position in the west of the city, and said, "This mountain can control the detour to the north, and if it is captured, it can also cut off the path for the rebels to flee to the north." ”
"Yes," Maruyama nodded and said, "Thank you for your explanation," he said as he looked carefully at the situation on the sand table again, "Our current position is two to three kilometers north of the confluence of Fenshui and this tributary, this is here," he said as he pointed to a white area on the sand table, "Three kilometers to the southwest is Taiping City, the current position of the rebels is opposite us and Taiping City, and their current position must be through the road to the north to escape, if an assault is launched, The rebels are bound to flee north. If we take this hill......"
"It's called Laojun Temple, and it's a Taoist temple built by some local Taoist priests, and when the rebels went south in winter, the Taoist priests had fled into Taiping City." Zheng Zhihu hurriedly added, "This Taoist temple has a total of three entrances, there is a thick wall outside to block it, there is a bamboo forest outside the temple, and there is a spring water on the top of the mountain, and the Taoist priests use it in the spring on weekdays. Since the rebels arrived in the city, some of the rebels have occupied Laojunguan, living in it, and you can see the smoke from burning wood above Laojunguan all day long, and there should be someone living there. ”
The enemy of the ship is hated by the trouble
The enemy of the ship is hated by the enemy, and the feather hates after making trouble: "Ah? Zhan Jie couldn't help but be stunned, "Corpse? It's a hassle to transport corpses! ”
"Yes, we also saw this situation when we were scouting," Yang Muqin added, "The area of Laojunguan is not small, about 13400 square meters, and it should be able to accommodate more than 100 people living in it, if we want to occupy Laojunguan to block the nearby roads, we must first eliminate the garrison inside." But this is not possible until the garrison inside is fully understood. ”
Lin Jin said, "We observed this old gentleman during our flight reconnaissance, and there were many people inside, but because of the complexity of the building, most of the sight was blocked, and we couldn't determine the exact situation inside. Shui Chenzheng also nodded, "Yes, the people inside don't come out much, even if we lower the flight altitude, the people inside don't seem to be interested." ”
Sun Ke has no hatred, and Sun Shu has made no trouble
"Also, here," Lin Jinlai interrupted Shui Chenzheng's words, pointing to a small hill south of Laojunguan, "we have been able to see a large number of corpses abandoned here during several flight reconnaissances, and it should be people who have frozen to death or starved to death here. The corpses were abandoned here, presumably this is the mass grave of Taiping City. ”
Zheng Zhihu hurriedly nodded and said, "I asked the local Lizheng about this, and it is indeed a mass grave. How do you see that? Can you still sit in that thing that you often fly in the sky? ”

"You have to open it, of course you can sit on someone!" Lin Jinlai interrupted him angrily. At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and then a herald walked in and saluted Maruyama, "Report to the commander-in-chief, the commander of the military army has arrived, let him in?" ”
"Given that it is winter now, everywhere has been frozen, and these rivers have all been frozen at the moment, so whether it is a river or not, there is no ability to stop the enemy from escaping." Maruyama said and pointed to the sand table, which he had only seen for the first time when he had come to the Foreign Legion for officer training, and before that they could only draw curves on sand or dirt, but this kind of "abstract" drawing could not reflect the differences in terrain at all, and often made the commander ignore some inadvertent details when commanding. Now with this kind of sand table, the nearby terrain can be piled up through the sand table, and it is clear whether it is a mountain, a river or a slope, and the characteristics of the terrain can be intuitively felt when setting a plan of action or telling the combat objectives to the subordinate officers.
"Okay, let him in," Maruyama said and nodded, and then He Renlong, who was wearing a thick robe, walked in.
He Renlong walked into the command room and was immediately shocked by the scene inside, "You don't even need to light oil lamps and candles here?" How can such a strange bottom-up light shine so brightly? As he spoke, he quickly rushed to the edge of the sand table, carefully looking at the small model on the sand table and the scenery on the sand table, "How did you make this thing?" It's just like the real thing, this is the situation on the edge of Taiping City, oh, so we are here! ”
Hong Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes upward, and Maruyama only smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to stop He Renlong, who was still looking up and down, "This general, please sit down first." ”
The enemy is far away and the hatred is Sun Shu who fights alone
The feud is not a party to the hatred of the Yang ghost
He Renlong realized his gaffe at this time, and quickly confessed to a crime, and found a stool to sit down, but saw Maruyama standing there with an embarrassed face, he didn't know what this was, and turned his head to look, over there, Hong Jie beckoned to him again and again. He Renlong hurriedly got up and walked over again, and Hong Jie whispered to him, "That position is the commander's, and your position is here." ”
"You didn't say it sooner!" He Renlong's face turned red at this moment, and he couldn't help but complain in a low voice, and hurriedly found another stool to sit down, Maruyama didn't take this matter too seriously, took the first two steps and sat down, and then said, "We just analyzed our existing strength, and since the commander of the official army was not present just now, I will repeat it now." ”
The ship is not hated by the haunted ghosts
He Renlong couldn't quite understand Maruyama's "Chinese" with both a Japanese accent and an Annan accent, so he could only lean over to Hong Jie and ask in a low voice, "Brother Hong, what did this old man say?" Hong Jie had no choice but to roll his eyes again, "He said to repeat what you said when you weren't there just now, and I'll translate it for you later." ”
Here Maruyama has already begun to tell, "Our army is now located two kilometers east of Taiping City, and its current strength is about 120 people in an infantry company, 40 people in an artillery platoon, 30 people in a special reconnaissance team, and 42 logistics personnel. Our army's transport convoy left Taiping five days ago for Qingdao to pick up the second batch of personnel and supplies, and now there are three rhinoceros vehicles used to haul artillery and ammunition, two tracked reconnaissance vehicles used by the special reconnaissance team, and two logistics supply vehicles responsible for heating operations in the camp and power generation at the same time. This is the current situation of our army's strength outside Taiping City, please Zheng Zhihu and General Zheng tell us about the current situation in Taiping City. ”
Zheng Zhihu was stunned, but immediately reacted, and quickly stood up and said loudly, "We are now in Taiping City, there are more than 3,000 capable soldiers, including more than 1,300 people brought out from Fujian, and the rest are local village warriors and government soldiers, and it is okay to defend the city, but it is almost a little worse to fight with traitors." As if he remembered something, he hurriedly added, "We don't have many bullets now, about twenty for a soldier, if we really fight a vicious battle, I'm afraid it won't be enough, can you give us an even-out point?" ”
"I'm afraid it won't be even," it was Lin Jinlai who spoke, he took out his pistol from his waist, took out one of the bullets inside and handed it to Zheng Zhihu, "Your bullets are all paper shell fixed ammunition, that is still the bullet from our previous Senate rifle era, and now we have changed to metal fixed ammunition, this kind of bullet must be fired with new weapons, you must know that these weapons have been sent here for large-scale testing, and we don't have much equipment ourselves, so your bullets can only be solved by yourself." ”
"The problem with bullets is not a big deal," Zhan Jie said on the side, "You can write a letter, we can take it south next time we go back, hand the letter to Nan'an and let them start preparing, our fleet will continue to load goods south, leave you a certain tonnage of space in the fleet, and then wait until we go north to load these materials directly in Quanzhou or somewhere to the north, and then send them directly through our transportation line." Seeing Zheng Zhihu's eyes shining, Zhan Jie shook his head slightly, "But this thing is not done in vain, the transportation of so many materials has to pay a cost, and you probably still have to pay some freight." ”
"Money is not an issue!" Zheng Zhihu hurriedly said, "We still want to send back the brothers who were killed on the battlefield together, can you send them together?" ”
"Huh?" Zhan Jie couldn't help but be stunned, "Corpse? It's a hassle to transport corpses! ”
But someone next to him spoke, "It's okay, you gather the corpses of the sacrificed soldiers and save them, and we will send them back together when the spring is open, and promise to send them directly to Nan'an." Zhan Jie was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw that it was Yuan Zhenli who spoke, Yuan Zhenli nodded, "That's right, when spring arrives and the temperature rises, we can use airships to transport, including the casualties we may have in battle, all of them will be transported to the rear by airships." ”
"But we only have one ...... in total" Hong Jie's blurted out words were interrupted, Yuan Zhenli waved his hand, "It's not a big problem, the chemical plant has been maintaining hydrogen production and storage, the air force and navy are building airships at the same time, yesterday He Rolling Long also sent me a telegram, saying that the hull construction of the new airship is close to completion, and after completion, you can install the outer skin of the soft airbag, and finally install the flight control system, basically it can be completed in about two months, Moreover, this airship is about 30 meters longer than the first type of airship, according to calculations, the load capacity of the new airship should reach about 30 to 35 tons, and it can also be equipped with electric motors to propulse, and it is not difficult to enter the north after the beginning of spring, so by that time we will have enough capacity to transport. ”
