Comprehensive suppression
Chapter 1434 Comprehensive suppression
Before he came to Shandong, Liu Shang had heard about the various glorious achievements of the special operations battalion many times, and had also quietly inquired about relevant reports and materials in the Sanya library.In his opinion, the soldiers in this Haihan ace force must be all brave champions and three armies, and they are all as mighty as heavenly soldiers, but after personal contact with Shandong, he found that these soldiers were the same as the Haihans he had seen on Hainan Island before. There is no obvious difference in the army, no one has three heads and six arms, and has not seen the kind of fierce general who can kill seven in seven out with a single iron gun on the horse.If there is any difference, it is probably that the weapons and equipment are better than ordinary troops.
It was not until he was sent to Lushun, where he lived and ate with the special operations battalion, that he slowly realized the power of this unit.Needless to say, the characteristics of strict military discipline and hard training, the most important thing is that this unit's desire to fight and attitude towards war seem to be quite different from the soldiers Liu Shang has come into contact with in the past.
Fighting overseas all the year round makes these soldiers who are used to life and death show a clear sense of indifference to battle and death. The meaning of their existence is to constantly defeat their opponents, conquer new regions and expand their territory for the country.But this kind of disregard is not indifferent, but is based on a strong self-confidence. They are convinced that the unit they are in is invincible, and any opponent is just a stumbling block to their own power.Even if the enemy on the battlefield is the post-gold iron cavalry that gives Daming a headache, even if the opponent has the advantage of the home court and has an obvious advantage in strength, it does not bring more pressure to this unit.They just train, move, and go out step by step, ready to kill their opponents on the battlefield.
When the Golden Cavalry launched the charge, Liu Shang was also watching the battle in the battalion.When he watched the enemy cavalry getting closer and closer, and felt the vibration from the ground under his feet, the cold sweat on his body was several times more than when Zhang Qianzhi was staring at him when he was investigating the island.He knew that as long as the rear golden cavalry broke through the unreliable barricade on the outer layer of the camp, he would not even have a chance to escape, but looking at the calm Haihan soldiers around him, he could only pin his hopes on These confident people are on.
With the continuous sound of explosions, Liu Shangcai finally understood why these Haihan soldiers were able to maintain such composure. It turned out that the seemingly ferocious Houjin cavalry could not even touch the edge of the camp.After the infantrymen stepped forward to replenish their guns, the golden cavalry actually retreated faster than when they came, and evacuated the battlefield in a very short time. Liu Shang was amazed by their decisiveness.
There was no bloody fight that Liu Shang imagined in this battle. The fighting distance between the two sides has been controlled at more than ten feet. Later, the Jin army had no chance to drag the battle into the stage of close combat, and they were already defeated.On the other hand, on the side of the special operations camp, Liu Shang dared to say that many people may not even sweat much, even if the battle is over, and it is still a beautiful victory over the opponent.However, everyone's faces were calm, and it seemed that this kind of victory was a matter of course for them, and it was not worth showing a state of being particularly excited about it.As for Liu Shang's mentality of walking before the gates of hell, they don't even have it at all.
Seeing such a scene, Liu Shang could only secretly say something powerful. The strong mentality of the special operations battalion has been rooted in the hearts of every soldier, and it is almost unlikely that he will be influenced by the outside world. It's hard to emulate.When Hou Jin met such an opponent, he really kicked the iron plate. With Haihan's step-by-step tactics, even if Hou Jin had an advantage in terms of mobility because of the large number of cavalry under his command, it would be difficult for him to play enough in the battle. great effect to restore their tactical and weaponry disadvantages.
A large number of corpses of war horses and cavalrymen outside the camp were piled up in the mud, but the camp just a short distance away was obviously orderly. If Liu Shang hadn't experienced the battle just now, it would be hard to imagine that the Haihan Army had just defeated Houjin. A charge of the cavalry.This contrast makes Liu Shang also feel very strange. He feels that this unit is not as enthusiastic as he imagined, but it has a unique pride and composure, just like the steam gravel he saw in a mining area in Hainan Island. Like a machine, no matter how hard a stone is pushed in, it will be crushed mercilessly.
Liu Shang endured the dizzying smell of blood, walked around the battlefield outside the drawn line, and roughly calculated the outcome of the battle.More than 160 horses were killed or injured at the scene.According to Chen Yixin's theory, the killed and wounded Golden Cavalrymen should still be above this number. Liu Shang made a note of two hundred, and then took it to Chen Yixin for review.As expected, Chen Yixin didn't care much about such small things, he just took a rough look, took the pen and signed his name at the bottom of the page.
"Officer Liu hasn't been on the battlefield before, right?" Chen Yixin handed the pen back to Liu Shang and asked by the way.
Liu Shang replied respectfully, "Before I came to Haihan, I used to tell stories on the streets, and soon after I came to Haihan, I was recruited to work in the yamen. I only watched the battle of the navy against the Spanish fleet when I was in Sanya. I haven't had personal contact with the battlefield at such a close distance."
"Tell me, how do you feel about our army's performance? Or other ideas." Chen Yixin was obviously in a good mood at this time, and he wanted to chat more with Liu Shang.
Liu Shang thought for a while and said: "The golden thief is definitely not our army's opponent, but I feel that the generals don't seem to have the intention to drive out the golden thief. Forgive me if I dare to say that this is not so much a fight against the golden thief. It is more appropriate to find a suitable object to train troops."
"Your vision is quite unique!" Chen Yixin was a little surprised when he heard Liu Shang's words. This civilian cadre who was on the battlefield for the first time could understand some of the hidden intentions of the special operations battalion in such a short period of time. Such keen observation can be said to be very rare.
Liu Shang didn't dare, he just said that this was just a guessing idea, and he couldn't do it accurately.Under his observation, he naturally knew that most of what he said was right, but he did not dare to show off his knowledge in front of a high-ranking official like Chen Yixin.These high-ranking Haihan officials are all good people. He will not be arrogant enough to think that his IQ is better than that of the other.
Chen Yixin re-examined the official who was sent to the north by the Youth League. He realized that the person who could make Yu Xiaobao write a personal letter to recommend him was not an ordinary person. Although this person was only a street storyteller, he was not. His ability to observe is quite outstanding, and it is no wonder that he was promoted in a very short period of time. This kind of ability is difficult to see from his resume.
Chen Yixin recalled that Liu Shang had worked in Majiazhuang before. Although it was not a long time, he seemed to be quite reliable in his work, and he could handle the work that he was responsible for in a very orderly manner. , This person seems to be able to adapt to the battlefield environment very quickly, and does not show the timidity, panic, nervousness and other emotions that a civilian staff may appear, but can calm down and observe the atmosphere and deployment inside the special operations battalion. The mind is so powerful.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask subconsciously, "Liu Shang, do you have the will to join the army?"
Liu Shang was taken aback by this sudden question, and he couldn't figure out for a while whether Chen Yixin's intention to ask this question was to test himself or if he had any other way, so he could only answer with consideration: "I don't even have a kitchen knife in my life. No matter how you touch it, you are not timid, if you join the army, I am afraid that you will not be able to kill the enemy, but let the enemy slaughter first!"
It's true that he hasn't touched a kitchen knife much, but Liu Shang is lying about being timid. If he was timid, he would have found an opportunity to sneak back to Daming, and he would definitely not stay in Haihan as Liu Shang. start a new life.Liu Shang's interest in Haihan's military is indeed not small, but if he wants to join the army and become a member of the Haihan army, he may not be happy.
In addition to the obvious reason of not wanting to fight against the army of the motherland on the battlefield, Liu Shang also thinks that he is not suitable to be a soldier. He is too old to bear the fatigue of military training, and there is no such thing as killing The idea of means to prove one's ability.When he was in Sanya, he wanted to kill his colleagues who threatened his own safety. He had been fighting for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Since then, he knew that he could at most take the path of a technocratic bureaucrat. , it is difficult to be a decisive undercover spy.Therefore, for Chen Yixin's proposal, Liu Shang had no other idea for a while, except to decline.
Chen Yixin shook his head and said, "You misunderstood me, I'm not suggesting that you start as a recruit, and rely on the battlefield to kill enemies to accumulate military merit and get promoted, it will not be of much significance to your future development, and it will not be able to play a role. What you are good at. If you are willing to join the army, there are actually many positions in the army that are suitable for you. For example, Tan Wei, who was transferred to Liaodong with you this time, was also a scholar before. After joining the army, he became a civilian officer directly. Now If you don't, you've done a good job. Based on your personal experience, you should be able to be a propaganda officer or a political cadre in the military. As long as you enter the military school, you need to train for a few months to learn relevant knowledge, and you will be assigned a military rank of at least Second lieutenant, you might as well think about it."
Only then did Liu Shang understand the meaning of the other party. Dareqing wanted to dig himself out of the Youth League into the army, and the work he did was almost the same as before.Liu Shang knew that a second lieutenant was at least a platoon commander or a deputy company commander in the army, and he could at least command a hundred or so people. In the Ming army, he would probably be a hundred generals. This start is not very high, but it is by no means considered. low.Active duty and veterans of Haihan enjoy a lot of special treatment. Liu Shang is also aware of this. He also knows the benefits of having a military position. For Chen Yixin's suggestion, it would be a lie to say that he has no heart at all. human.
But Liu Shang still didn't dare to easily agree to this invitation. He is a person who is used to making decisions and then acting. If he does not weigh the pros and cons, he will not easily change the environment he is in.Although there are many benefits to joining the army, and it seems that there is an endorsement by a big man like Chen Yixin, it may not necessarily be a smoother and more comfortable road than the current one.
Chen Yixin wanted to join the army by name, and then he must be assigned to the special operations battalion after enlisting. Although this unit is the ace army of Haihan, Liu Shang knows that the special operations battalion fights on the front lines overseas all year round, so it can be said that there is not much comfort. Have a good day.Only those professional soldiers who regard fighting and fighting as an indispensable part of their lives can adapt to the life of long-term expeditions abroad, and Liu Shang admits that he is not so hard-working, especially after seeing the prosperity and prosperity of Sanya, he is even earlier There is a plan to live a worry-free life in Hainan Island in the future.
"Thank you for the suggestion, but please consider Rong Beiqi." After a battle between heaven and man, Liu Shang finally declined Chen Yixin's suggestion.
Chen Yixin didn't have too many regrets. He just thought that Liu Shang was a talent. If he could recruit him to serve, he should be a good candidate.But since there is no way to dig this corner from the Youth League, the twisted melon is not sweet, and he will not twist this person.
After receiving the news from Qian Tiandun, Tom Wang of the East Route Army ordered the entire army to be on alert, but after waiting for a whole day, there was no trace of the Jin Army.After the Jin army tried to attack the special operations battalion and was defeated, it did not continue to run into the wall all the way to the east, but chose to retreat to the north.Erhe finally realized that it was basically impossible for him to complete the comeback with the remaining people, and he might have to pay for it if he was not careful.Since he couldn't defeat his opponent in the field, he could only withdraw his troops and return to the camp to defend the Jinzhou Fortress line.
Both the West Route Army and the Middle Route Army achieved good results, but Wang Tom's East Route Army failed to achieve any results.Apart from scolding Jin Jun for being too cowardly, he has no other better way to vent for the time being.And since the other party has already withdrawn, it is estimated that it will be ineffective to continue to wait for the rabbit. After the commander of the three-way army communicated opinions through the radio, they decided to withdraw from the camp and continue to advance north.
From the current position of the Third Route Army to the north, the Jinzhou Isthmus has also narrowed further, and the gap between the East and West Third Route Army has also narrowed. Comprehensive suppression and attack from all directions.
However, Erhe, who had returned to the Golden State Fortress at this time, was kneeling in front of Azige and Yangu, repenting for his crime of poor command.Of course, Erhe could only try his best to put the blame for the defeat on bad weather, poor logistics, and an extremely cunning enemy.In his mouth, the Haihan Army is a group of bastards who avoid fighting and only play insidious methods, and his defeat is a crime of non-war, but his luck is not on his side.
