With the heads of the party's gate, his three major gold nets, and a group of small leaders being seized, Lingao's anti-bandit work was launched in an all-round way. [No pop-up novel website]
Suppression of bandits is a combat operation that requires long-term investment. Most of the time, the bandits have the advantage of the right time and place, and sometimes there is peace. Whether it is a real "peace" or a coercive "harmony", sending out large forces is ineffective and consumes too much. From the beginning, the General Staff It was decided to focus on a small group of capable and strong men. They could both conduct reconnaissance and attack. They could conduct reconnaissance and attack at the same time, and use the advantages of the crossing group in communication, mobility and reconnaissance capabilities to offset the advantages of the bandits.
The bandit suppression detachments specially formed for this purpose each have no more than a hundred soldiers, including infantry, snipers, scouts and engineers. Artillery is temporarily strengthened only in battles that require fortification. Each detachment is commanded by two or three time-traveling officers, usually selected from the special reconnaissance team. Each detachment carries a 2-watt radio and a number of homing pigeons to maintain contact. In addition to the standard Mini rifles, the bandit suppression detachment is also equipped with a large number of hand-held shotguns and grenade launchers for fire support.
The soldiers of the detachment were drawn from each company and fought in turns. The recruited soldiers include both veterans and new recruits. Ma Qianzhu asked Ruozhan: all soldiers must participate in a bandit suppression detachment.
As an experienced officer, Huang Xiong was the first choice to join the bandit suppression detachment, and five detachments were established during the same period. At the same time, cleanup operations were launched in adjacent areas.
The clean-up activities were irregular. No matter day or night, once you receive an order, you must go out
.
I don’t even know where I’m going. Only those "special scouts" wearing colorful clothes knew that Huang Xiong had stayed in Liaodong, and knew that the so-called special scouts were the Australian "Night Reconnaissance Soldiers". They are obviously much smarter than their counterparts in the Ming Dynasty. Even in the dark night, they can accurately lead the troops to the place and never get lost.
Many years later, Huang Xiong's memories of the bandit suppression battles were rarely grand battles with full battle arrays, and they were even stopped from attacking fortresses. There were very few battles in the village. Most of the fighting took place at dawn, dusk and midnight. The detachment suddenly attacked the sleeping bandits. Most people are killed before they even have time to react.
Sometimes the battle is fought by two or three detachments. Huang Xiong saw that the Australians did not rely on any strategy, but relied on the tactics of watches, maps, compasses and radios. No matter how complex or difficult multi-unit coordination was, it was easy for them.
The battle was ruthless, and Chiang showed no mercy to the enemies who had fled. Once they caught their opponent, the detachment would chase the enemy all day and all night. Not giving the enemy any breathing space is the detachment commander's tactic.
Huang Xiong never knew that people could have such great potential. They could eat dry food and drink water while walking, march in the mountains all night, and go into battle at dawn.
Although the soldiers in pursuit had traveled a long distance, their physical energy was extremely exhausted. But what they eat is specially rationed Grass No. 9 high-calorie dry food. The flour fried with lard not only contains salt necessary for the human body, but also fishmeal, dried fruits, sugar and dried vegetables. Although it doesn't taste good, it can provide soldiers with more than a kilogram of calories and sufficient protein and vitamins every day.
This kind of compressed biscuit packaged in a carton can be eaten on the go with water, or it can be cooked into a batter that is easier to swallow during a short rest period. This enables soldiers to maintain sufficient physical strength and health for a long time during high-intensity anti-bandit warfare. In contrast, it is difficult to obtain food on the escape route. Even if they obtain food, they often have to embark on the escape journey before the curtain is ready. The bandits live a half-starved and half-fed life. After two or three days of pursuit, The body collapsed.
Even bandits who claim to be familiar with the roads often cannot escape such a tenacious and cold-blooded pursuit - whether they are officers or soldiers, they will withdraw their troops after winning and lose their will before being defeated. During the pursuit, Huang Xiong saw more than once the collapsed bandits who were tortured by hunger, fatigue and terror and collapsed on the road. Let the pursuers kill you at will.
Huang Xiong never understood how the "chiefs" knew the bandits' lairs and campsites, and how they found the bandits' route at night. He just followed the orders of the "commanders." He led the soldiers to fight with the bandits in the mountains and forests, on the riverside, at the seaside, in the wilderness, in the market towns and villages, surrounded, annihilated, defeated, and pursued them. No mercy - all soldiers know that once they fall into the hands of bandits, they will be killed in the most brutal way. Soldiers quickly grow up in such battles, and those who can survive will become strong and courageous enough and ferocity.
Suppression of bandits first depends on the accuracy of intelligence work. The intelligence obtained by the bandit suppression headquarters is carried out through several channels at the same time. First, the social work department obtains basic information from village liaison officers and county offices in advance; After the gangsters achieved remarkable results, all the villages that were originally not enthusiastic about suppressing bandits actively provided information. Villages with brave villagers also offered to provide guides for the bandit suppression detachment and send brave men to assist in the battle. Last but not least, the "spies" sent by the Intelligence Committee, in the form of small businessmen and hawkers, traveled through villages and alleys to collect intelligence. Special reconnaissance members of the anti-bandit detachment will often leave the main force to conduct field reconnaissance.
But this alone is not enough. The bandits are not stupid. They will also use harassment tactics and attack the village unexpectedly to burn, kill and loot. Not only can you get a vote, but it can also mobilize the anti-bandit detachment to exhaustion. Therefore, the tone set by the bandit suppression headquarters is: "Enter an area, clear an area, and consolidate an area."
In addition to the Thirteen Village Working Team that Du Bian was responsible for, the Executive Committee also organized several other similar working teams. Once the bandit suppression detachment annihilates or expels active bandits in the area, the work team will immediately enter the area; the bandit suppression headquarters will select a village with a moderate geographical location in the suppression area to station a work team. Equipped with a 2-watt radio and several security guards. The intelligence data collected through various channels in the suppression area are uniformly reported to the bandit suppression headquarters in Lingao through the radio station. After comprehensive analysis, the headquarters mobilizes troops based on the current location and mission performance of each detachment. In this way, every new movement of the bandits will be known to the bandit suppression headquarters in as little as half an hour. The response of the troops is very sensitive.
In addition to restoring order as soon as possible, the work team also began to build simple ten fences in each village where the self-defense group had ten fences. Those who could not afford the earth fence should at least build a bamboo fence. It stipulated that each village When a village was attacked, they would light fires at night, light cigarettes and sound gongs during the day, and go to the nearby villages to rescue them. The newly formed village warriors had no weapons, so the work team taught the locals how to use sharpeners. Make a bamboo gun, soak it in urine, and then dry it with fire to make a strong and durable weapon. Japanese farmers in this time and space can use it to fight samurai, and Ming farmers can also use it to fight bandits.
The security detachment of the work team is responsible for training these temporarily formed rural warriors every day to make them familiar with the weapons in their hands. Able to advance, retreat and form a queue according to the sound of the gong.
Xin Nari felt like he was going to die, ever since he was lucky enough to escape from a raid by the bandit suppression detachment because he went to meet his sweetheart. He took a few brothers who had escaped and immediately joined another group of gangsters. With his sharp tongue and the qualifications of the party's four major financial networks, he actually managed to get into the position of a leader again.
However, this boss is very difficult to do now. Under the constant attack of the anti-bandit detachment, there was hardly a day when the gangsters were not on the move. In the past, they ate wherever they went. A village without local heroes was like meat on the chopping board. When you enter the village, you kill pigs and chickens, and after you get drunk and fed, the women sleep wherever you want. Even if there is a rural village, the leader will shout when passing through the door. There must be at least one meal in the plug to drive them away.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer villages like this. The villages with earth fences will give them a beating without ceremony, while the villages without earth fences will send sentries everywhere, and they will beat gongs when they see the bandits coming. Strong people will come. Although these mud-legged peasants used to be scared out of their wits when they heard the word "bandit", now they have guys in their hands and "thieves" to support them. Although there is no way to fight, but They were extremely ferocious, and falling into their hands would be even worse than falling into the bandit suppression team. Sometimes they would be captured and cut into pieces.
On the way to escape every day, the gangsters were unable to obtain food without losing supplies from the villagers. Even raising a fire to cook has become a luxury because fireworks often attract nearby farmers. The thieves actually promised a reward of one hundred "big catties" of millet for one bandit's head, and the armed farmers saw chasing the bandits as a way to make money. There was even a fight between two villages over the heads and bodies.
The common method used by bandits to escape into the mountains is impossible. The bandits are not Sun Wukong and can sleep in the open air. They also need food, clothing and shelter. And Shansai, which can provide all this, is the key target of the anti-bandit team. Most of the mountain fortresses have been breached by the bandit suppression teams. It may be safe to hide in the mountains for a while, but in the long run they will just starve to death.
There are fewer and fewer guys at my disposal. The bandit also became increasingly neurotic. I have to yell at people and hit them every day. The result was constant conflict among the gangs. Yesterday, the gangsters who could not bear the oppression fought against the bandits. He and his cronies were killed, and Xin Nari was promoted to the boss's throne, and he was given a yellow robe.
If Zhao Kuangyin was a bit hypocritical, Xin Nari really didn't want to be in this position at all, and was completely forced by the gangsters below. He is different from ordinary bandits. He has been hanging out with people in the yamen for a long time, and he knows that no matter who becomes the emperor, when suppressing bandits, "the evil will be punished, and the coercion will be ignored." When he became the leader, he became the "evil" "Needless to say, if he falls into the hands of the Australians, he will lose his head. He doesn't want to hang his head at the gate of the county town like Dang Namen and let the crows peck at it.
But if the gangsters come forward together, if you don't obey. I'm afraid the first one to be stunned is myself. On that day, Xin picked up this gangster with more than 40 people, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. For today's plan, the best way is to run out of Lingao to Yanzhou or Chengmai. The Australians don't necessarily want to cross the border to kill, right?
But the reason why banditry is so popular is that it has to operate locally. Once you leave your hometown, you won’t be able to eat much. And their colleagues in the places they go may not necessarily welcome them. Even if someone is willing to accept them into the gang, there is a high chance that he, the leader, will be fired.
In the midst of helpless panic, he sent the spies back to the district of Thirteenth Village to report back. He heard that all the gangsters in each family were fine. The Australians only sent two "female officers" to Daolu Village, and their men were no more than 20. people.
His heart couldn't help but move.
If he could make a comeback and capture the two women at this time, he would have heard that there are very few women among Australians and their status is quite high. Being on an equal footing with the men, he has the capital to bargain with the Aoyuan people.
"Where is Zhao Dachong?" he asked.
"It's fine. I'm hiding in the house and won't come out." The spy added flatteringly, "Miss Xin is fine too. She is in Uncle Zhao's house every day."
Before he finished speaking, he received a sharp mouth. The spy suddenly realized that this girl was worried about the leader, and he quickly covered his face and kept silent.
"Where are everyone's homes?" He asked about the families of other bandits.
"Everything is fine." The spy quickly replied, "I want to ask if you are safe now and when can I call you back? They don't even dare to wear a filial piety now and they will be caught by the Australians."
"The bald thief doesn't do anything?"
"No, Jiantian was running around in front of the ancestral hall. There were people wandering around outside talking about ancient times. The two female officials didn't even go out of the door.
"Hmm!"
"No!" the spy replied firmly, "it's just that the work team requisitioned some grain for meals, and the people who used it to buy things gave the Qiang coupons.
"Strange!" Xin Nari wondered what they were doing by sending this Lao Shizi work team to the village. Whether it is a government official or a green forest hero, master one. Local plans are nothing more than money, food, and people. If this is what the Australians want, we have not violated their wishes when we sent food and missions in the past.
It’s so enigmatic. Thinking of this, Xin Na was a little scared. However, the current situation is desperate. Calculating, calculating, now this strategy can be regarded as "seeking survival in death". Then he sent another person back to the village to contact Zhao Dachong. Let's see if he can find any internal and external means to do it with less than fifty men. He really doesn't have confidence. ! ~!
