After looking at it for a while, he found that the Mongolians who were riding on the horse to guard were very careless, Zhong Shixin estimated that these Mongolians did not expect the enemy to arrive now, so they all thought that there was no need for serious inspection, and now they were just going to the southern slope to go through the motions according to the order, just to make a appearance.

Zhong Shixin quietly retreated from the top of the mountain and manipulated his horse to the bottom of the hillside, where there were other scouts in his platoon.

Most of them were part of the original armed search force, but later, the search force was split, and some of them, who were old or wounded and were unfit to continue to participate in combat missions, were assigned to the military intelligence bureau and other intelligence departments.

These young and strong elites who still want to fight for a future through military exploits have been transferred to the reconnaissance battalion of the special service regiment, and after undergoing more rigorous training, equipped with more advanced equipment, and replenishing some of the supplementary soldiers, they have continued to do their old job -- armed reconnaissance.

Their reconnaissance operations are not as gentle as those of the intelligence services, such as burying nails and bribing informants.

As a special regiment-level unit directly under the General Staff Headquarters, what they are best at is to use their powerful assault ability to break into the hinterland of the enemy before he reacts, induce the enemy to counterattack, and conduct fire reconnaissance.

Of course, such reckless actions are not encountered twice a year, so in normal times, the most they do is front-line combat operations such as scratching their tongues. Occasionally, they will also make a decoy to create favorable conditions for the whole army to destroy the enemy.

The platoon led by Zhong Shixin was temporarily strengthened, and originally the subordinate team of their special service regiment was different from that of ordinary infantry units, with only two subordinate units, and the number of squad combat teams was at least half of that of ordinary infantry regiments.

This kind of unit is very flexible when infiltrating and scouting, but once it participates in the battle, the flaws of this organization are exposed, and its number is too small.

Therefore, after summing up the combat experience many times, the special service regiment decided to make some changes and experiment with the multiple configuration method.

And Zhong Shixin's platoon of men and horses, because they want to directly participate in the battle, is temporarily strengthened, supplemented by two squads, and becomes a four-squad platoon-level combat team, if you add several attachés of Zhong Shixin's platoon-level headquarters, the number of people has exceeded 20 people, which is about to approach the number of an ordinary infantry platoon.

Zhong Shixin called several squad leaders under him and said in a low voice, "I just saw that there are Mongolian cavalry in the north, according to the order issued by the superiors, we are here to lure the enemy this time, so I decided to beat one of them, and then deliberately let some people escape, leading the Jin army brigade out of the city to pursue." ”

Several reconnaissance squad leaders are also old brothers who have cooperated for several years, and what their platoon commander said is completely in line with the planning of this combat operation, of course, no one will have different opinions.

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement at the same time, Zhong Shixin took the military map and put it on the ground, and then used stones to lay out the northern terrain next to it, and explained it against it.

After explaining the terrain, several people began to discuss the battle plan.

"Okay, now for the watch." Zhong Shixin took out the officer's standard pocket watch, opened the cover, and said the time on his pocket watch.

Then, all the non-commissioned officers also took out their pocket watches in turn.

Of course, the pocket watches in the hands of these non-commissioned officers are also issued by the military, and today's pocket watches still belong to the "high-precision" technology, and those precision gears and spare parts in them can only be installed by special masters.

Therefore, the price of pocket watches is not cheap, not to mention these non-commissioned officers, even middle and senior officers, after buying a pocket watch, they will feel pain in their flesh.

Originally, in the army, only officers above the company and battalion level could get pocket watches, which were "standard" items.

However, due to the special nature of the special service regiment and the necessity of carrying out its tasks, the General Staff specially issued pocket watches to the platoon commanders of this unit.

At the same time, temporary pocket watches were also distributed to some of the squad non-commissioned officers in the teams who needed to participate in dangerous reconnaissance missions. Of course, the pocket watches in the hands of the non-commissioned officers are for public use, and they must be returned to logistics when they are used up.

Five minutes later, the leaders of this reconnaissance platoon each chose a route, and quickly led their men to lurk to the north under the cover of trees that had lost all their leaves.

Fifteen minutes later, a military horn sounded in the sky, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, under the leadership of their respective commanders, jumped out of the ridge at the same time from three directions, and more than twenty cavalrymen fanned towards where the Mongols were.

The Mongols, who were on horseback on the top of the hill to herd sheep, were the first to spot the reconnaissance platoon, and they roared loudly, turned their horses' heads, and hurried to the south, as if intending to meet them.

Some of the Mongols, when they were halfway through the race, found that the enemy was outnumbered by their few sheep herders, so they quickly turned around and fled with all their might.

The Mongols in the valley area also heard the shouts of warning from the fleeing Mongol riders, and the men quickly ran out of the tents with bows and arrows.

The women and children, when they heard the alarm, immediately began to scream, as if they wanted to put the sheep back in the barn.

However, the cavalry of the reconnaissance platoon was too fast, although they rode Mongolian horses under their crotches, not Chinese dragon horses, but because of scientific domestication and care, as well as the first hand to accelerate in advance, the impact speed of the reconnaissance platoon far exceeded the expectations of those Mongols.

In the face of the cruel reality, these people who have been dealing with war horses all year round finally gave up their plans to do other superfluous things, jumped on horseback and fled.

The Mongols are a people on horseback, and among these people, whether they are men, women or children, one by one, as long as they have their own horses, they are very skilled in riding, and some horses have not even had time to fix the saddle, but they are still running on bare horses.

Zhong Shixin rushed down from the hillside on one side, looked at the movement of the enemy, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, "These talents are really natural cavalry, and the so-called horsemanship of the soldiers and horses of the Houjin Eight Banners is not comparable to these Mongols in front of them." ”

However, although he thought so, Zhong Shixin couldn't help but lament when he thought of the huge number of war horses in Houjin, this geographical location was too superior.

The kingdom has worked hard for several years to get how many cavalry, and then Jin is next to Mongolia, and in the past few decades, there are no less than 100,000 people who can ride horses, if you can't find a way to narrow this gap, I'm afraid the war can only become a tug-of-war.

Zhong Shixin had just thought about something, and saw seven or eight Mongolian cavalry appear in his field of vision.

He looked over curiously, and found that these people were all wearing leather hats, not even a piece of armor on their bodies, carrying a riding bow in their hands, and using only their legs to control their horses, and they met his own cavalry all the way.
