Chapter 18: Morning in Wu'an Village
readx;?“ Right! That's right, this is the battle of our army, and we don't need your navy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" several army company commanders next to him also began to shout.
But it was obvious that Wu Di didn't care about their opinions at all at this time, "The Marine Corps is a combat unit, and we also need combat experience, and such a battle is very important and valuable to us." And judging by the situation of the South and North invaders, we are about to face a battle, and we may even need to throw our first company of Marines into the battle. So we have to get more experience through a battle like this. ”
"But this is the battle of the army, whether it is the combat area or the combat object, it has nothing to do with your navy." Li Jieqi waved his right hand a few times and continued to object, "Besides, didn't you say that the coastal defense of Dongfang Port is the business of your marines?" There is no need for our army to get involved. You only have a company of troops in total, if you go out to fight Wu'an Village this time, who will defend this Dongfang Port? ”
"Don't worry about this," Xue Ziliang stood up and explained: "The defense of Dongfang Port is not difficult to solve, at this time, the trade fleet is mainly by transporting materials to Champa Port and then transporting them to us by road for trade, Dongfang Port needs to defend at a low level, and our training methods are different from yours......"
"Do you roar like you every day and fight with the enemy with bayonets?" An army company commander on the side was sarcastically mocking Xue Ziliangdao.
"Bayonet fighting is a very important thing, even for the U.S. Marine Corps in the old time, bayonets and hand-to-hand combat are very important training items, which can make soldiers not feel afraid or even flee for face-to-face combat. The new-style army that the Japanese formed after the Restoration of the People's Republic of China did not pay attention to bayonet fighting at first, but in the Russo-Japanese War, they were frightened when they encountered the Russian Mao Zi fiercely rushing towards them with bayonets, and after that, they began to train with bayonets again. Xue Ziliang smiled and continued, "Although the Americans pursue a war model with zero casualties, they have never relaxed their bayonet training for a moment. ”
"And how are you going to fight?" The company commander was a little confused, but curious how the turtles could fight with this Senate rifle, which also took at least 45 seconds for a skilled loader to load.
"Quite simply, the rifle shoots at a long distance and the bayonet is mounted when the enemy is close......"
Xue Ziliang's words made a group of army officers scoff, and they all ridiculed Xue Ziliang's combat methods. However, Xue Ziliang didn't speak, and Wu Di next to him stood up and said, "Do you think that modern enemies can fight you to the death?" In this time and space, whether it is the Wu Dynasty troops or the Annan army, they are all military generals who dominate the Jiading, and the Jiading is pressed into the formation, and in front is the Xiang Yong, and the Xiang Yong is the main opponent we need to deal with. Mangou and the Taiping army were like this when they were killed, Mangou drove the townspeople to fight in front, and the Taiping army drove the old, weak, sick and disabled to fight in front. ”
The people next to him looked at him, not knowing what he was going to say. Xue Ziliang cleared his throat, "Any army, if it can hold out to one-tenth without breaking up, it is already a strong army, and if it can hold out until the losses have reached one-third and can continue to attack, then it is already the overlord of the strong army." I don't think there can be such an army on this plane. He looked around at the participants and continued, "I have also read the report of the battle with Nanban this time, the distance of the first battle was actually about 120 meters, 500 people, including cavalry, attacked the defense line of more than 300 people, and finally broke up at about 50 meters, we have stronger rifles, which can ensure the accuracy of shooting within two to three hundred meters, and naturally we can pour bullets on the enemy's head earlier." So I think that as long as it is no more than twice the number of defenders, our Marines can resist or even defeat it. ”
Du Yande coughed, as the executive committee member who will go to Wu'an Village tomorrow, he still has the right to decide which troops to go. "In this way, if you attack Wu'an Village this time, the number of the army, militia and Minzhuang will remain the same, and two platoons of marines will be added."
Although several officers of the army had a lot of opinions, they had no choice but to put the teacup on the table and lean back, looking at Wu Di and Xue Ziliang who were full of ambition with helpless faces.
…………………………
In the early morning, Wu'an Village was full of people, and the farmers who got up carried their farm tools to work in the fields, while the women shook the thin blankets they had just covered last night in front of the houses, and the streets were full of dust for a while. The gate of the village was opened to accommodate the width of two people in parallel, and the villagers who guarded the village stood at the gate of the village one by one, some leaned on the side of the wall, some looked at the women passing by with a spear, and a few leaned up to stop and ask for a search as long as they saw the slightest appearance of the women, which caused the queue to enter and exit the gate of the village was blocked for a long time.
Although this is quite disturbing to the people, this is really the order they got, Wen Xinyi has fallen ill since he returned to Wu'an Village after performing a Liu Xiang-style run with a beard and robe in Yancun a few days ago, and the group of house slaves invited a doctor in Anyun City to check Wen Xinyi's pulse, and concluded that it was a disease such as wind and cold when evil qi entered the body, and prescribed a bunch of diarrhea medicines, which pulled Wen Xinyi into a dark place. Although Wen Xinyi was dizzy, he still deeply remembered the fierce combat effectiveness of the group of pirates and the bravery of the pursuit, and Wu'an Village must have been on the blacklist of pirates. Therefore, he specially issued an order to gather all the family members and townsmen and move all the people outside the village in, so that the defense would have a numerical advantage. The walls of his Wu'an village were originally enough to accommodate three or four thousand people, and now all the men added up to more than six hundred, not to mention the women who can provide assistance, there are almost four hundred, so as long as he defends this village, those pirates will definitely not be able to attack without siege equipment, even if there are siege equipment, the scale of more than a thousand people in the village, the pirates should not dare to do it. As long as the strong wall clears the wilderness and does not allow the pirates' spies to mix into the stockade, they are not afraid of the pirates attacking.
Today's Master Wen feels a lot better, at least he is much more energetic, at this time he has just woken up from his dream, and his face is still full of joy in the dream just now. In the dream, the pirates came here to attack the village and were deflated, and there were many casualties, so they had to sign an alliance with him. He sat up and shouted, "Ah Fen, serve the master and get dressed." ”
But the maid who came in at this time was not Ah Fen, and he remembered that Ah Fen was captured by the pirates, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. At this time, he didn't want to do this, so he took the towel handed by the maid, and the water temperature on the towel was just right, and it was lukewarm. He wiped his face, then stood up.
The maid hurriedly put the copper basin aside, put Master Wen's shoes in front of the bed, and began to serve Master Wen to dress.
After the dressing, Master Wen stretched his waist and walked out of the bedroom, the new head of the family Ding Jiao was standing under the porch with his hands down, and when he saw Master Wen coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Good morning Master Wen, according to the report of the spies, the pirate barracks near Dongfang Harbor have been very lively since yesterday, as if they were crackling like firecrackers all afternoon, and they were noisy again at night. I don't know if the pirates are preparing to come out to attack the master's Wenjiazhai. ”
Wen Xinyi thought for a moment, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the hustle and bustle of pirates is a common thing, don't be too nervous, if the pirates are like frightened birds as soon as the wind blows, wouldn't they be in chaos without waiting for the pirates to attack?" ”
Since the last time the head of the family Ding sect who had been with him for more than ten years in Yancun died, he had to spend a lot of money to hire a legendary martial arts master from the only dart game in An Yun City, and let him serve as his own head of the family Ding sect. But this head of the family is inevitably too conscientious, and often accuses his subordinates of disturbing the people, or obstructing some of his orders, which makes him feel very unhappy. This group of pirates not only killed his family leader, but even the swallow Wang Qi, who he usually used as a surprise soldier, was also arrested, and with his ability to fly on the grass, he couldn't escape, which made Master Wen always feel very surprised how he was able to escape.
"Master, at this time, the townspeople at the door are disturbing the people again by taking the opportunity of checking and making careful work, and there are many people who insult the people's daughters, this is ......" The head of the sect was interrupted by Wen Xinyi before he finished speaking, "Those people were originally from my Wenjiazhai, and they were also ghosts of my Wenjiazhai when they died. You Zhou Botong is just the head of my family, just take care of the family's fists and feet. Saying that, Wen Xinyi skimmed Zhou Botong, this Zhou Botong had a generous face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyebrows were full of disdain, he knew that Zhou Botong's conscience was committed again, so he had to say softly: "At this time, I need my family to do my best to protect the village, although this harassment of the people's daughters is unreasonable, but it can make my village Yong work together to raise morale, and I don't need to wait for more thought, isn't this a good thing?" ”
Zhou Botong just bowed his head and said nothing, he just couldn't see these things that oppressed the people. Later, he practiced martial arts and reached the dart game, but he couldn't make friends with these people who bullied the people, which made him even more aggrieved. Who knew that this group of family Ding Xiangyong was purely a group of bandits, who knew every day that they robbed the people's money and food, exploited the hawkers, or took the opportunity to molest the people's girls. This made him feel even more unhappy, and at this time, he just wanted to finish the month early, get paid and leave.
