Chapter 247: Poison Pill
After a while, the communications officer walked into the headquarters, saluted Zhong Fulin, and handed over a report on the battle situation sent by Lakshin.
After Zhong Fulin read the ten lines at a glance, he handed the battle report to the staff officers around him to read it, and said, "The Houjin army has all gathered near Tashan in the south, and the current aerial reconnaissance has learned the approximate number of the enemy's army, which is about 12,000 people.
Because of the dense fog in the enemy camp, and because the enemy troops were still scurrying, there was a lot of room for this number to fluctuate. ”
"Several battalions in the south are scattered, facing the surprise attack of tens of thousands of people, it is likely to suffer heavy losses, do we need to support the direction of Tower Hill?"
"It's not a good choice, could this be the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?"
There is no way to answer this question right now.
However, if we support the south, then we will also attack the rear of the Houjin army. This is nothing more than narrowing the encirclement.
Most of the enemy's cavalry has been wiped out, and there is no ability to maneuver quickly, and if you want to suddenly turn around and break through in other directions, you must pass through our encirclement line. ”
"But we can't be too confident, you must know that this is a mountainous area, the road is rugged and horizontal, maybe the Jin army will know which hidden path in the future, and it will act after waiting for us to be transferred."
"Even if the enemy finds another way to pass through the gap around us, our men will be far closer than the enemy army is now this important passage to encircle the enemy army.
I don't believe that, with the intensity of our training, we will lose to those Goryeo sticks on the march. ”
Zhong Fulin listened to the discussions of the staff officers, kept thinking in his mind, and comprehensively calculated the pros and cons.
In the end, it was a veteran who had been fighting with Chen Xin all year round, and in less than two minutes, Zhong Fulin made a choice.
"Leave reserves and be prepared for a surprise attack by enemy troops. The others immediately took action and headed in the direction of Tower Hill. ”
Immediately, the staff officer asked another question: "But, comrade commander, the thick fog in the enemy camp has not yet dissipated. ”
Zhong Fulin is a general who has come from the era of cold weapons without staff assistance, although he has always been steady and cautious, but he has never lacked the determination to make a desperate move.
At that moment, he said categorically: "Then take a detour from the flank of the camp of the Houjin Army." ”
In the previous attack, we only retreated after taking a look at the enemy camp from a distance, so we did not have a clear idea of the huge damage caused by the large-scale incendiary rocket raid, except for the burning buildings, the clothes that were burned by the fire, and the sweat that broke out from under the thick clothes.
Now, when the Chinese Army bypassed the camp flank of the Houjin Army at close range.
Finally, I smelled the strong smell of barbecue.
Looking at the corpse of the Houjin Army that appeared from time to time, the burned one curled up into a baby-like post-Jin army.
Amid the vomiting of the recruits and some veterans of the compulsory army who had not yet had actual combat experience, everyone finally had a preliminary understanding of the new type of incendiary rockets.
However, under the supervision of the non-commissioned officers in the team, even if they vomited, the team did not stop in the slightest, and the infantry battalions quickly passed through the fire field of the Houjin camp.
The scouts at the front were the first to engage the Houjin sentinels.
The scouts equipped with the infantry battalion of the Chinese Army are also selected from the elite of the battalion.
These scouts act collectively in squads and platoons, and are equipped with binoculars on the Master Chief, who can detect enemy troops from a distance.
Moreover, pump-action and revolvers were also distributed to each scout.
Coupled with a steel helmet that can defend against bows and arrows and bird's guns at close range, and a combat vest with bulletproof steel plates, as long as you don't get shot by the enemy, you'll be fine.
Houjin Army's infantry shooting is not bad, but the cavalry shooting really has no characteristics, and if you want to shoot people's vital points on the galloping war horse, you can basically only rely on Meng.
Therefore, the Huaxia Army, equipped with powerful protective equipment, is simply a combat fortress of this era.
It can detect the enemy in advance, and also has the advantage of fast and continuous shooting, and powerful protective equipment. The scouts of the Huaxia Army, who had undergone rigorous training and actual combat selection, had no possibility of losing at all when facing the Houjin Army Sentinel Cavalry, which was the same number as its own, or even nearly doubled.
After several rounds of confrontation, not only did they clear the enemy's eyeliner and cover the battlefield dynamics, but also captured a few live mouths.
The casualties of their own scouts were pitiful, except for a few riders who fell to the ground and were injured by the shooting of their horses, there were no casualties.
The units directly under the command in the rear quickly took over the prisoners.
After the interrogation, from the mouths of the captives, Zhong Fulin knew a lot about the Houjin army.
For example, the commander of the enemy army is actually not safe; Now in charge of military affairs is a third-class general named Gao Shaokuan; The number of existing Jin troops is just over 10,000; They are at the end of their rope and ready to fight to the death to break out of Tower Hill.
This information is urgently needed by his side, and he didn't expect to know such important news from a few sentinels.
The officers of the intelligence department believed that the identities of these post-Jin army sentry agents were probably unusual, so even if the other party even told him about bedwetting when he was three years old, the interrogator still continued the torture.
Zhong Fulin shrugged his shoulders helplessly as he passed by the temporary interrogation room surrounded by a few pieces of fabric by the intelligence department.
This is the fate of the captive, whether they say it or not, they will be tortured, and even if they are finished, they will be squeezed for several rounds until the other party cannot say anything.
However, at that time, I am afraid that the captives have reached their limit and will definitely not survive.
An officer beside Zhong Fulin saw him shrugging his shoulders, and also sighed, "When I followed the king to fight the country, and after seeing the interrogation of prisoners once, I made up my mind that in this life, I will never let people be captured alive."
Later, I even begged the king to give me a poison pill, buried it in my teeth, and once the situation was critical, I bit through the poison pill and committed suicide.
Anyway, after being a prisoner, it is better to live than to die, and it is better to cut it off yourself. ”
Zhong Fulin has been a military judge for a few years, and he has long developed the habit of Gujing Bubo, and at this time, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, "Aren't you afraid that when you eat, you accidentally bite the poison pill?" ”
"Ugh." The officer was momentarily speechless.
The corners of Zhong Fulin's mouth curled slightly, and he chuckled, "Just kidding, the craftsmanship of the king, you still don't worry." ”
"Old Zhong, when did you learn to joke too?"
"Since stepping down as a military judge, I feel a lot more relaxed."
"Huh."
"Okay, no kidding, as the scouts report one after another, we basically have a clear understanding of the situation of the remnants of Houjin, and we are ready to officially attack."
"Yes."
