Chen Xin's voice was a little surprised, and he asked, "Is there any change on the part of the Houjin Army?" ”

Zhong Fulin explained seriously, "Yes, General, although the Eagle Falcon did not find anything abnormal during the day, but for several days, traces of cooking smoke could be observed in a barren mountain 20 miles away from the Houjin Daying, and we have already investigated, within a radius of 200 miles nearby, there are no ordinary Koreans at all, and it is impossible for any brave civilian to dare to make a fire and cook so close to the battlefield." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSo, we think that the Houjin side is secretly moving troops. ”

Chen Xin touched the beard on his chin and laughed softly, "It's really interesting, so is the enemy army moving troops from the battalion to the rear, or is there reinforcements coming from the rear?" ”

"The falcon can't detect the movement of the enemy troops hiding in the mountains and woods, and the enemy troops are basically marching at night when the falcons can't move, so we can't determine the identity and movement of the enemy troops, but last night, we have selected capable personnel from the reconnaissance and search team, with the help of military dogs and military cats, we should send back the news soon."

Chen Xin waved his hand, "Then wait and see, only accurate information can help us make a sound plan." ”

After that, Chen Xin thought of the scale of the reconnaissance and search force and the recent reports, and took advantage of Zhong Fulin's presence here to ask directly, "I have read the recent work report of the Military Intelligence Department, the frequency of dispatch of the reconnaissance and search force is very high, and there are also certain losses in personnel, do you have any plans for the development of this unit?" Come sit down and talk slowly. ”

Zhong Fulin walked to the corner of the command post, moved a small Mazha, sat next to Chen Xin's case, and said thoughtfully, "General, the reconnaissance and search force is a special force directly under the General's Mansion, and our Military Intelligence Department is his co-management unit. ”

"It's okay, put forward your opinions first, and the staff will consider it comprehensively."

"Okay, then I'll talk about the proposal of our Military Intelligence Division, we believe that the size of the reconnaissance and search force should be expanded, and the reconnaissance and search force, as a special unit that goes deep into the enemy-occupied areas to carry out reconnaissance and search tasks, its members should be composed of the more elite parts of the whole army, and the priority right to select the members of each unit when this unit was established should be retained for a long time, so that the reconnaissance force can select personnel from among the veterans of other units. Veterans have advantages in military quality, psychological quality, loyalty, and so on, which is more conducive to the intensive training of reconnaissance units.

Also, because of the special nature of the reconnaissance and search force, which requires a lot of training and acting to improve their chances of survival, this unit should have a separate training base. ・・・・・・”

Chen Xin listened carefully, and then kept thinking about the feasibility of these suggestions in his mind, when the sound of "report" came from outside the door.

"Come in."

"General, Gao Di, the commander of the 3rd Reconnaissance and Search Company, has come to call for his life."

"Is it news about the change in Houjin?"

"Yes, we set out last night, followed a group of enemy troops, and have roughly figured out the enemy's movements."

"Tell me about it."

"The enemy is retreating southward. According to the signs of feces and stove pits, it is inferred that the enemy in the Houjin camp has already walked about halfway. ”

"Do you know their route?"

"I know, they are all assembling towards one place, and the assembly point is not far away, just after crossing the Qingchuan River, Anzhou."

Chen Xin and several staff officers and officers walked to the large map hanging on the wall, and used a ruler to compare between Fort No. 1 and Anzhou. ”

Gao Di, the commander of the third company, recalled carefully and said, "The two enemy forces we tracked basically did not carry any supplies, and they carried some food with them, which was just enough to ensure that they arrived in Anzhou." ”

The big cat clapped his hands excitedly, "The combat effect of our attack on the enemy's supply line is now visible, and the enemy's food is not enough. ”

"This has long been expected, and I am concerned about what is the intention of the enemy to withdraw south? Do they want the whole army to retreat together, or just this half of the men? ”

While everyone was thinking, an intelligence staff officer walked in outside the door again, "General, the detachment from the south sent a report, they intercepted a Niu Lu's Houjin cavalry, intercepted Sukh Saha's order. ”

"Tell me about what it is."

"Yes, General, at this time, an order sent to the 35,000 Houjin army in the Shangjing area, Sukh Sakha asked them to arrive in Pyongyang within half a month and join forces with the men and horses of the headquarters to attack our army detachment."

An officer asked suspiciously, "Hey, isn't the army sent by Sukh Saha to Shangjing already surrounded outside Shangjing?" Why would Sukh Saha give such an order? ”

"Hehe, this is the credit of our reconnaissance team, for a long time, they have been trying to cut off the communication line between Sukh Saha and Shangjing, so, until now, Sukh Saha is still in the bones."

"I have to give a medal to the reconnaissance and search force."

Everyone laughed together.

After a while, Chen Xin waved his hand and said, "It's really sleepy, someone will send a pillow." Well, now that we know the enemy's movements, we should also move, we can't let the enemy seize the initiative, order the rear to carry out a general mobilization of the second level, take out our housekeeping skills, and the decisive battle will begin soon. ”

"Yes"

Under Chen Xin's order, the Xuan army system was mobilized again, and the armed alert troops in the rear, which had already participated in two thousand-person encirclement and suppression battles, were officially recruited into this combat sequence, and then the last three squadron-sized militias were squeezed out from the townships.

The troops were quickly assembled, and the weapons and equipment were quickly replenished, but the food problem plagued the logistics department.

When the 20,000 newly formed troops and the troops guarding them were training near Uiju, the supply of grain and grass for the more than 20,000 troops could be taken directly from the warehouses and distributed on the spot.

The logistics department only needs to focus most of its energy on the three fortresses where Chen Xin is located and the 18 raid detachments in the rear of the enemy army, which add up to more than 10,000 people, and the base of the 18 raid detachments is at sea, so there is no need to take the land route at all, so it can be easily handled.

However, since the more than 20,000 troops joined the raid detachment and then formed a detachment, the size of the detachment reached an astonishing 35,000, and because they needed to capture the enemy's supply lines on the road, it was natural that they would be stationed on land, and the pressure on the logistics department to transport supplies suddenly increased.

Before the matter at that end was smoothed out, Chen Xin gathered tens of thousands of horses again, and it was also by land, and all of a sudden, the complaints of the logistics department flew into the offices of their respective supervisors like snowflakes, and one of them was the most transportation department.
