Chapter 90: Fueling Tactics

Chen Xin naturally knew that the suggestion he had just put forward could be regarded as a kind of tactic to add fuel to.

And the tactic of adding fuel has always been a taboo for soldiers.

However, Chen Xin believes that compared with the losses that may be caused under a large-scale offensive and defensive battle by leading the team to gnaw at the defense line held by 80,000 enemy troops, now, fighting under such advantageous conditions, even if the tactics of adding fuel are used, the battle losses caused are nothing.

Judging from the report just now, it is better to rely on superior firepower to encircle and annihilate the enemy's army all the way in the middle of a mountainous area.

If time is sufficient, Chen Xin may think twice, but the current situation on the battlefield is also urgent, and the enemy may retreat at any time and retreat to his old nest, and there is no room for the general command to weigh it anymore.

Of course, the so-called refueling tactics are not to send teams to the door in batches to be eaten by the Houjin army, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

Next, under Chen Xin's order, the entire campaign headquarters was busy, and the correspondents kept coming in and out.

At this time, it was only half an hour after dawn, and after receiving the order from the general headquarters, the six infantry battalions responsible for outflanking the bottom and the 10 infantry battalions responsible for the frontal hard steel immediately accelerated their march and rushed towards the newly revised destination.

At the same time, the original work of the 1601st Battalion to monitor the enemy's movements was completely handed over to the mountain observation unit, and since it was impossible for the enemy to advance any further, there was no need to keep a close eye on it.

Then, all the members of the 1601 Battalion, who had escaped from the surveillance mission, began to move behind enemy lines under the orders of the headquarters.

This reconnaissance battalion is the most important step in Chen Xin's temporary battle plan, without this unit, Chen Xin would not dare to do any refueling tactics, after all, he is also very afraid that his troops will be burned in vain.

As a unit directly under the General Staff Headquarters, the reconnaissance battalion is almost the most advanced in the whole army.

Just like the latest L/QBB-06 rifle, because of the production of weapons, the ordinary troops are now equipped with about two or three rifles per squad, and the rest of the squad is still equipped with four-year modified rifles that have not been consumed in the inventory, while the 1601 battalion is equipped with a new rifle per person.

There are also the latest grenade launchers, because this weapon is fast, powerful, and extremely versatile, and it is easy to put a huge pressure on logistics and supplies.

Therefore, for the time being, grenade launchers in ordinary units are equipped only at the battalion headquarters level, while reconnaissance battalions are equipped at least at the company level.

In addition, in the plan, it is also prepared to wait until the production of such powerful weapons is raised, and give priority to equipping the reconnaissance battalion to the squad and platoon level.

As an elite unit of the General Staff Index, the reconnaissance battalion not only has priority in terms of equipment, but also ranks in the forefront of the whole army in terms of supplies and allowances.

Enjoy the best treatment, and when you use it, you naturally use it for the most important tasks.

Therefore, after receiving the order signed by Chen Xin himself, the two reconnaissance companies of the 1601 battalion did not hesitate or be dissatisfied at all, and immediately packed up and continued to penetrate the rear of the enemy under the reconnaissance of the falcon.

Their destination is the eastern part of the Imjin River in the Hufeiling Mountains, a traffic artery called "Tower Mountain".

In fact, there are not many dangerous mountains in the Hufeiling Mountain Range, most of the peaks are small hills that are hundreds of meters high, at most no more than a thousand meters, and there are only a few protrusions occasionally, and the altitude is relatively outstanding.

This "Tower Mountain" is located on a "gentle slope" between the two high-altitude peaks near the mountain pass.

If it is a small group of people, there is nothing to do if you don't take the "Tower Mountain", and you can walk from the mountains on both sides, that is, take a little detour and climb the mountain.

However, now, the Houjin army has an army of more than 30,000 people entering the Hufeiling Mountain Range, which is more than 30,000 troops, plus the logistics and transportation team that captured Ding, if you want to get out of the mountain, there is only one way to go "Tashan".

After all, the movement of the army, heavy grain and grass, tents, equipment, etc., all need to be transported by carts, and the carts, even if they take the "gentle slope" of "Tower Mountain", are very troublesome, and people pulling horses will have some problems from time to time, and it is even more impossible to go to the high-altitude peaks on both sides.

Therefore, if the enemy wants to retreat, then "Tower Hill" can be regarded as the enemy's only way.

The reconnaissance company of the 1601st reconnaissance battalion was responsible for monitoring the enemy's large forces, and because the enemy was scattered, this company was also dispersed accordingly.

After receiving the order, this group of small troops scattered naturally crossed the mountains and mountains, and the travelers left for their destination.

And within half an hour after dawn, the reconnaissance company of the 1601st battalion of the commando had already recovered, but after receiving the order from the general headquarters, it encountered some troublesome things.

After carefully checking the map for a long time, Deputy Hu Lian said helplessly, "Company commander, if we want to penetrate the enemy's rear, we must pass through the valley where the forward battalion of the Jin Army is located in front of us. ”

The company commander frowned slightly, "Can't you take a detour?" ”

Hu Lian shook his head, "There are not many dangerous peaks in the Hufeiling Mountain Range, but they happen to be concentrated in this area where we and the enemy are intertwined.

The valley now occupied by the enemy's forward battalion is exactly one of the necessary routes in the north-south direction within 10 kilometers.

If you want to make a detour in this area, you have to move sideways to the east and west, but then you will not be able to reach the location specified by your superiors within the scheduled time. ”

A long line of people muttered irritably, "How come from the beginning of the action to the present, all the unlucky things have fallen on our heads, and we will encounter trouble when we walk, and we are really possessed by the god of decay." ”

Several of the veteran officers present ignored his complaints, but just seized the time and quickly exchanged their opinions.

"I think it should be detoured, the physical fitness of our soldiers is very good, and the will to fight is extremely strong.

Therefore, I think that we can speed up the march and extend the march time to make up for the lost time during the detour, after all, we are going to fight a blocking battle, and as long as we get to the assembly point, we don't need to think much about physical strength. ”

"I don't agree, if we take a detour, our horses and baggage won't be able to be transported.

You know, what we're about to carry out is not an ordinary battle, it's a very difficult blocking mission.

We have a reconnaissance battalion that is not satisfied with the formation, and we have to stop the Houjin army, which is full of more than 30,000 arrows, and maybe there are a large number of logistics personnel in the Houha, so the number of enemy troops will be even greater.

In terms of numbers, it was an absolute disadvantage, and if there were no more than enough supplies, there would be no need to fight this battle. It's better for everyone to wipe their necks together, and do it yourself, it's much more simple than sending them to death. ”

"If you express your opinion, you will express your opinion, and what kind of whining will be."

"Yes."

"That's right, I agree, our army's supplies must not be given up, and this is related to the success or failure of the next battle."

"However, if we don't make a detour, there is a forward battalion of the enemy resting in the valley in front of us, and this enemy force, even if it was attacked by the commandos last night, and it is affected by the roar of the battalion, but after a night of retraction, the enemy still has at least 7 or 800 men and horses, which is not easy to provoke."

"That's right, we only have more than 50 people, if we don't make a detour, we will face nearly a thousand enemy troops, once discovered, it will be troublesome.

Although we have strong firepower, it is impossible to destroy so many enemies with just more than 50 men, this is not a homely exercise. ”
