After nearly twenty days of intense training, the time has come to the end of June. It has been more than a month since Zhou Wen and the others left the Wang Beard Replenishment Group, but there is still no news about the replenishment of the Third Regiment.
Zhou Wen began to feel uneasy. The prisoners brought back from the front line were all the main force of the Northwest Army. Zhou Wen basically asked every batch of prisoners to find out the situation.
The situation of the Sixth Brigade of the Jin Army was understood. It was said that they had been transferred back to Shanxi in early June after the Yejigang sniper battle. Zhao Changshu himself was seriously injured and returned to Shanxi for treatment. Now there are basically no Jin armies on the Longhai line, they are all Northwest armies.
Zhou Wen said anxiously: "Uncle Beard, Uncle Beard, aren't you told to surrender to the National Army soon? Even the Sixth Brigade has withdrawn to Shanxi, won't you follow suit?"
Zhou Wen couldn't sit still and quickly called Gao Xiaoshan and Miaohua to discuss. Gao Xiaoshan was also different from his usual calm image, with a sad face and unable to come up with an idea. Miaohua suggested waiting. Maybe the supplementary regiment was in the rear and there was no chance to surrender to the National Army.
But Zhou Wen decided that he could no longer wait passively and said: "Brother Shanzi, senior brother, I have decided to go to the front line. Only when we get to the front line will we have accurate information. If it is confirmed that they are still in the rear, we can also find the front line." We can pass through the loopholes, and as long as we join Uncle Hu and the others, I will have the confidence to bring the supplementary group over."
After that, he opened the map, pointed it to the two of them, and said: "The last battle of the Jin Army's Sixth Brigade was fought at Pheasant Hill, 10 kilometers away from here. The current front line is around Minquan County in front of Pheasant Hill. Let's go First go to Pheasant Hill, then to Minquan County, and search all the way to see if there are any clues or information."
That afternoon, the transportation team all gathered at the training ground, and Zhou Wen told everyone about the plan to find a replacement team.
Finally, he said: "Brothers, going to the front line this time is different from before. We are directly facing thousands of troops. If we are not careful, we will fall into a hard and deadly battle, and some brothers will be injured or even die.
However, we have to go, because our uncles are waiting for us, waiting for us to take them back. So I hope brothers, including me, will be prepared for anything, especially the mental preparation for losing my own brother. You can't lose your cool because of sacrifices, let alone lose your reason and refuse to obey orders.
This operation is the biggest test since we formed the army, and it is also a dangerous exercise of blood and fire. I hope that brothers can withstand and temper themselves in the fire of war. When we return successfully, we will become the strongest warriors in the world.
Brothers, are you ready? "
"Always be ready!" All the team members shouted in unison with their eyes wide open.
The roar shook the sky, as if the gathering dark clouds were dispersed, and the sun instantly penetrated the clouds, illuminating the young and fighting faces.
To be honest, going to the frontal battlefield was not what Zhou Wen wanted. Zhou Wen's small force was trained based on the combination of later generations of special forces and super mercenaries. Although it was very lethal on the frontal battlefield, it also faced great dangers and casualties.
Moreover, Zhou Wen's real intention in training this army was for the war of resistance seven years later. It would be a pity and not worth it if anyone was lost in the civil war.
However, Uncle Beard and the others have a flesh-and-blood relationship with the transportation team. They have trained the strongest team in the world, but they don't even search for or rescue their own relatives, so everything is meaningless.
That night, Zhou Wen found Chief Qian and submitted his application.
After listening to Zhou Wen's reasons, Chief Qian was reluctant to refuse. He was also moved by Zhou Wen's determination to find his old troops at all costs.
After pondering for a while, Chief Qian said: "The headquarters recently planned a big operation. It was supposed to be kept secret and could not be passed down, but I believe you, brother, so I will let you know first. In two days at the latest, Lao Gu's second The division and the Second Education Division of Chief Zhang will be mobilized to launch an attack on the enemies of civil rights and break the current stalemate on the Eastern Front.
I suggest that your transport team follow them. After all, they are all officers who are familiar with you. If anything happens, I believe they will lend a helping hand and will not sit back and watch you fall into danger. "
Zhou Wen was shocked when he heard that Chief Gu and Chief Zhang were mobilized to attack at the same time. The novels he had read before talked about the front line of Minquan County. Chief Gu and Chief Zhang were defeated at the same time, and they were both defeated miserably. That means this may be a real incident.
According to the narrative in the novel, once they were defeated, Liuhe would not be able to survive and would be beaten back to Germany.
Chief Qian had just arrived at the front line and assumed the post of commander-in-chief, and he took great care of himself, but he could not just watch him suffer defeat and be punished by the principal. I have to think of a way.
Zhou Wen frowned and thought hard, recalling the details in the novel. It seemed that the attacking troops fell into a trap and were ambushed and routed by the Northwest Army. This means that the Northwest Army has also increased its troops recently, and it was secretly added.
But how do you find evidence and intelligence?
When Chief Zhang saw Zhou Wen frowning, he thought he was anxious and impatient, and really wanted to persuade him, but he was frightened by Zhou Wen's words.
"Sir Qian, although the principal transferred you to serve as the commander-in-chief, the entire deployment of the Eastern Front is planned by Guide's headquarters. Although the current war situation is in a state of anxiety, it is relatively stable.
Now the command wanted to risk breaking this stalemate and take the initiative on the Eastern Front. Could it be because our logistics and reserve forces are getting tighter and tighter, and we can no longer hold on?
The Northwest Army on the opposite side has worse and more difficult logistical supplies than ours, and they can't afford to be delayed more than we can. People in humble positions think they have more reasons and are more likely to take the initiative.
In the past half month, the battle situation on the frontline has been stable. We are mobilizing troops and generals, but the other side will definitely not be idle. There must be a big plan and a big plan.
Now we take the risk to attack, and everyone will be happy to win. The principal is well-organized and well-organized.
But if you lose, it will be difficult for you, Chief Qian, to explain. "
Chief Qian fully understood what Zhou Wen meant. Zhou Wen used two "risks" in a row, which showed that he was not very optimistic about this attack, because his opponent was the Northwest Army who never followed common sense. Thinking about the tactics of setting fire to the airport with surprise troops, turning around and retreating, etc., it all shows that the opponent is a veteran who knows how to fight.
So, will such a veteran wait for you to mobilize heavy troops and be beaten passively? The answer is definitely no.
The other meaning is also very clear. If you win, the credit belongs to the headquarters. If you lose, isn't it the frontline command that takes the blame? Can the principal still be held responsible?
Chief Qian took a breath. He himself had been in the officialdom for many years and had experienced hundreds of battles. Why couldn't he see and think clearly like the young major in front of him?
