Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

"What? Robbery? Isn't that a bandit? We are the Eighth Route Army."

This was the first thought that came to all the fighters.

Although I did a few robberies with the Independence Regiment, they basically snatched equipment under the guise of an ambush.

The purpose of grabbing equipment is to fight the little devils, and the soldiers can accept it psychologically.

But now they want to rob food, the gap is too big, even though the target of robbing is still a kid.

The soldiers all felt that this kind of behavior was very cheap. The dignified soldiers of the Eighth Route Army began to block the roads and rob, first to grab equipment, and then to grab food. Is it going to continue like this, and in the future, whenever there is something missing, they will go directly to the road to grab it?

Hu Zongwan could tell that the soldiers were somewhat resistant to this action.

Although this kind of thinking is somewhat rigid, it also indirectly reflects the character of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Even under such difficult conditions, he is still able to stick to the bottom line of being a human being, and does not want to satisfy his needs through improper means.

As an instructor, Hu Zongwan felt that it was necessary to teach the soldiers a lesson and change his thinking.

"Do you know why there is today's action? There are two main reasons. First, everyone has a lot of food recently, and the food in the company is only enough to last until tonight. Within ten days, the company has no rations for cooking."

Hu Zongwan began to speak calmly, and the soldiers' discussions suddenly became much quieter.

There is no food to eat for ten days, and everyone knows what the result will be.

"Second, the training is coming to an end soon. Before the cavalry company officially entered the battlefield, Instructor Qiao thought of this method. He used the method of robbing the little devils to let us adapt to how the cavalry should fight in advance, so as not to go to the battlefield in time. , we don’t know what to do, so grabbing food is secondary, mainly to experience actual combat.”

Hu Zongwan said again, now the soldiers are silent.

"Besides, what we rob is not the common people, but the enemy. Why can't we rob food if we can seize the equipment? Isn't their food also robbed from our people? We just snatch back what the enemy has robbed. That’s all, it’s only right and proper, conscience is for your own people, not for your enemies.”

Hu Zong's eloquent explanation finally cleared up the knots in the soldiers' hearts, and made everyone understand a truth. To the enemy, you can't restrain yourself with morality and conscience, otherwise you will only be the one who suffers in the end.

"No wonder we have to change into casual clothes. We are here to be bandits today."

Wang Dachui slapped his head, and suddenly understood why he came out without wearing a military uniform.

Chapter 530: One Arrow, Three Carvings

"That's right, but we need to modify it. We are pretending to be bandits, not being bandits."

Hu Zongwan quickly corrected.

The idea of ​​going out and changing into casual clothes was the idea of ​​Qiao Lin.

Although snatching equipment and food from the little devils is reasonable and reasonable, but it is robbery after all, and it is still blocking the road, which is not very pleasant after all.

There is a characteristic of folk rumors, the more they spread, the more exaggerated they become. If this story got out, the Eighth Route Army might have ambushed the little devil in the first place and seized a lot of spoils.

Maybe in the end, the Eighth Route Army will do nothing, and it may be dedicated to blocking and robbery on the road. This will not be good for the Eighth Route Army's reputation.

Putting on casual clothes can effectively solve this problem. Even if it gets out, it can only be that the bandits robbed the little devil, and it will not affect the reputation of the Eighth Route Army among the masses.

What's more, it can also avoid getting angry and robbing the little devil's supplies. The little devil will definitely not swallow his anger, and revenge is inevitable.

If they rob them in military uniform, they will assume that the Eighth Route Army did it, and they will probably use all kinds of unlimited methods to retaliate.

Although the Eighth Route Army is not afraid of little devils, there is really no need to cause such trouble.

Another point is that no matter who sees the robbery in civilian clothes, the first reaction will be that it is a bandit.

Years of wars have been raging everywhere, and there are those idlers who want to eat and drink well, but don't want to work hard. They are soldiers and wars but are afraid of death, so they gather to go to the mountains and fall into the grass to become bandits, specifically to rob some businessmen and civilians. common people.

In a sense, these bandits are no different from little devils in their harm to society. They are all bullying the people of this country by virtue of their numbers.

They are also burning, killing and looting, the only difference is that the bandits are not as big as the little devils.

In the defense zone, the Eighth Route Army, in addition to fighting the little devils, would also go into the mountains to suppress bandits from time to time, and the purpose was also to protect the lives of the local people.

So if you put on casual clothes and rob the little devil, you will also send a message to the little devil that this was done by the bandits. If you want to take revenge, you can go up the mountain to find the bandits, which is equivalent to helping the Eighth Route Army suppress the bandits in disguise.

As long as you put on a suit of clothes, you can kill three birds with one stone. How could Sun Desheng and the others disagree with such a good thing, so they went door to door in the village to borrow clothes.

Sun Desheng and Chen Youjin rode horses around the place chosen by Qiao Lin twice and came back, discussing as they walked.

They have already figured out the terrain, and what needs to be considered is how to allocate troops and formulate a battle plan.

"Instructor Qiao, I discussed it with Old Chen and came up with a few plans. Can you see if it works?"

Sun Desheng jumped off his horse and came to Qiao Lin's side and said proactively.

"You two are commanders, you don't need to ask for my opinion, you just need to tell me what to do."

Qiao Lin raised his hand to stop Sun Desheng from continuing. What he meant was obvious. He only used his strength for today's action, not his brain.

"it is good!"

Sun Desheng nodded heavily. He understood that today's action was not only to solve the food problem and let the soldiers experience actual combat, but more importantly, let the leadership of the cavalry company learn how to fight independently.

"Cavalry company, assemble!"

Sun Desheng got on his horse and shouted loudly.

Soon, the soldiers of the whole company gathered at the foot of the mountain.

"Today is our cavalry company's first actual combat. I hope that comrades can show their best condition to deal with this battle. Next, I will announce the battle deployment, and the reconnaissance team and order team will come out!"

Sun Desheng looked at the cavalry formation in front of him, his blood boiled instantly, and he felt the long-lost fighting spirit again.

The five soldiers of the reconnaissance team took a step forward.

"The reconnaissance team conducts reconnaissance along the road to the northwest and southeast within ten kilometers. If enemy troops or vehicles are found passing by, they will report back as soon as possible."

Sun Desheng wants the reconnaissance team to issue tasks.

"Yes!"

The five fighters immediately set off and ran in two directions.

"Arrange in five rows!"

After the scouting team left, Sun Desheng shouted again.

The 36 cavalry on the far right side of the cavalry phalanx rode forward.

"Dismount in five rows, divide into two teams, go up the mountain to observe the passing vehicles and little devils on the highway, and attack the ground from the top of the mountain if necessary!"

Sun Desheng pointed to the two hills on both sides of the road and ordered.

"Yes!"

The five rows of soldiers immediately jumped off their horses, divided into two teams and rushed towards the two mountains.

"One row, two rows!"

"The first row spread out to the northwest to hide, and the second row spread out to the southeast to hide, prevent the enemy from increasing troops, and prevent the enemy from escaping!"

"Three rows, four rows!"

"Three rows are hidden behind the mountains on the south side, and four rows are hidden behind the mountains on the north side. Once the target enters between the two mountains, immediately dispatch to encircle them!"

"The messenger team follows me and sends orders to the troops at any time!"

Sun Desheng arranged the whole company in one go.

Qiao Lin nodded secretly at the side. This kind of deployment can be said to be very comprehensive. There are surveillance, ambushes, reinforcements, and interceptions. They maximize the role of the cavalry company and form an airtight network.

"Company Commander Sun, what about me?"

Qiao Lin looked around. The soldiers had all rushed to their positions, and he was the only one who hadn't been assigned a task.

Sun Desheng grinned foolishly, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.

It was the first time Qiao Lin had seen this expression, and he had a vague feeling that I was a pawn.

"Instructor Qiao, your marksmanship is the best. I discussed it with Old Chen. You will fire the first shot in this battle. After the little devil's transport vehicle enters the encirclement, you will be responsible for killing the driver."

Sun Desheng and Chen Youjin looked at each other and smiled, as if they were very satisfied with this arrangement.

Under such a careful arrangement, Qiao Lin's own ability does not have much room for display. Even in a formal firefight, his role is not much different from that of an ordinary soldier.

But I didn't expect Sun Desheng to find another way and let him be the driver who sniped the little devil.

"Instructor Qiao, are you a little reckless?"

Seeing Qiao Lin staring at him blankly, Sun Desheng suddenly became a little apprehensive, thinking that Qiao Lin was dissatisfied with his arrangement.

"No, you did a good job. This is equivalent to extracting the most value from me. Very good. Commanding battles should be like this. Let every soldier play a role in the field he is best at. Only in this way can the strength of the army be brought into full play. maximum."

Qiao Lin gave a thumbs up and praised.

In fact, the most effective cavalry combat is to charge into battle, and the tactical arrangement of blocking roads and ambushes is more suitable for infantry.

However, Qiao Lin didn't have the ability to arrange a battle for the soldiers to fight on horseback. He could only use this opportunity to let the soldiers feel the atmosphere of the battle.

Qiao Lin did not forget to teach the soldiers how to train horses when teaching them combat skills. Under the training of the soldiers, the horses of the cavalry company were no different from soldiers except that they could not speak or shoot. They were very disciplined. .

They don't run around, they don't make random noises, and even the 36 horses in the fifth row, which are temporarily unridden, spontaneously line up and hide behind the mountain, except for occasionally lowering their heads to nibble on the tender grass on the ground, there is no movement at all.

After the cavalry company set up an ambush, just as the sun was rising, they didn't speak or move around, and waited for a full three hours.

Chapter 540 Robbery Becomes a Joke

Three hours is not a short time. To be honest, even Sun Desheng and the others were a little shaken.

It's not that I'm impatient, but worried that there will really be a transport vehicle of the little devil passing by?What if you wait all day and don't meet them?The cavalry company will have no food tomorrow.

But seeing Qiao Lin's confident look, as if he knew that there would be a car passing by, Sun Desheng and the others somewhat regained their confidence.

If you don't stay here, the food problem can't be solved, so why not try your luck, what if the blind cat meets a dead mouse?

When he was full of thoughts, there was a rush of hoofbeats, and Liu Xiaobo, a member of the reconnaissance team, came galloping on a horse.

"Company commander, there's a little devil's truck coming this way."

Liu Xiaobo was very excited because he finally sent back the information before the enemy arrived.

"Command, prepare for battle!"

Sun Desheng's face tightened, and he immediately gave the order.

The soldiers of the messenger team split up to deliver orders.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense in an instant. This was the first real contact with the cavalry company in actual combat, and everyone was somewhat nervous.
