This moat was dug by the British army led by Old Pitt to block the attack of the Dragon Flame Army after the Battle of Saratoga Bay.
Water is the thing that tanks fear most. The core engine that powers the tank cannot see water.
If the river is forcibly crossed, the tanks will not be able to pass.
By losing the tank, they lost their most important weapon.
Old Pete had already ambushed a large number of soldiers around the moat. If they forced their way across the river by boat, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Trading the lives of soldiers for this war is the most hopeless option. If it were not impossible, they would never choose this method.
But it was precisely because of such conditions that aroused the fighting spirit of Long Yanjun.
They now rely on their huge technological strength to crush their opponents, which is a bit boring.
"General Qin, you are most familiar with special operations. Is there any good way for us to bypass the moat and attack the enemy?" Ling Chen looked at Qin Changfeng.
This general he admired from the bottom of his heart was the first general to follow Lord Liu Zheng.
He is also the founder of the Longyan Special Operations Force. Although the idea was first proposed by Lord Liu Zheng, it was General Qin Changfeng who executed it.
Qin Changfeng looked at the remade sand table.
This sandbox is a one-to-one model made based on the conditions around Philadelphia. It is used to simulate combat and has miraculous effects on troop formations.
At this time, the four fortresses marked on the sand table have been replaced with America's flag.
Philadelphia, located in the middle of these four fortresses, is surrounded by moats and all its bridges have long been blown up by the British army.
Except for the city wall built on the far left side of Philadelphia that leads to the outside world, there are no roads to enter Philadelphia!
But the only exit from Philadelphia was to the present headquarters of the British Army.
The largest military base in the whole of Britain is on the battlefield of America - New York!
It is impossible for their troops to launch an attack from New York City and wipe out the enemies in Philadelphia!
So the best solution before them was to cross the moat and attack Philadelphia.
Qin Changfeng said calmly: "I once trained a troop of frogmen, and they were able to cross the moat quietly."
"However, the current cavalry team only has sixteen soldiers with this skill. Such rare soldiers will be quickly wiped out by the enemy even if they cross the moat."
"We have to establish a base on the opposite side and contain the troops before we have a chance to cross the river."
Hearing these words, Vino was moved in his heart and said hurriedly: "Most of my troops are fishermen from the port. They understand water and may be able to come in handy."
Qin Changfeng's eyes lit up, but then he thought, what he needed was not just soldiers who knew how to use water, but soldiers who could order and forbid, and who could quickly ambush after crossing the river.
"It's possible, but I need at least three days to retrain them."
"The combat method of special forces is not head-on combat on the battlefield."
"It's not as fast as a surprise attack, but like a shadow. No one will particularly care about his presence or absence."
"How many skilled soldiers can you provide?" Qin Changfeng asked, staring at Wei Nuo.
This was his first time training foreigners.
However, he was confident of bringing this force out.
Wei Nuo hesitated for a moment. He had never been exposed to what is called special operations before, but when he heard Qin Changfeng's request, he didn't feel any difficulty. He smiled and said: "Everyone in my army is like this. Soldier!"
"General, you have no problem picking as many people as you want!"
"Okay." Qin Changfeng said one word briefly and walked away.
Vino quickly followed behind.
Qin Changfeng and Wei Nuo came to Britain's military camp.
Wei Nuo announced an important order: "The elites of each team come out! Let the generals of Long Yan see your heroic appearance!"
"yes!"
There were only 2,000 people left in the team, and they all went out without giving in, thinking that they were elites.
Wei Nuo looked at the overwhelming momentum of his soldiers, and a touch of pride arose spontaneously. He asked Qin Changfeng next to him: "How are you, general? Are my troops all elites?"
Qin Changfeng did not prove his answer, but said: "I need three hundred soldiers. As long as you pass my test, there will be no problem."
The soldiers below were extremely excited. Being able to become Qin Changfeng's soldiers was what they had dreamed of doing.
The Longyan Army is known as the most powerful force in the world.
Those who can enter must be elites!
"I'll come, I'll come!"
"When it comes to marksmanship, no one here can compare to me!"
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Qin Changfeng expressed his request: "First, I don't care about marksmanship. Second, I don't care about how strong you are. Third, I only need to be good at water skills."
After hearing these three points, people who do not understand water nature sadly withdrew from the competition.
Qin Changfeng continued:
"The test is also very simple. You have one day to hide on the plain in front. You are not allowed to use guns. As long as you are not discovered by our Dragon Flame Army after one day, you will pass the test!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately laughed.
Not to mention hiding on the plains, even if they lurk on the battlefield without being discovered by the enemy, they can do this easily.
Wei Nuo also frowned. He thought Qin Changfeng's method of selecting soldiers was too simple.
It is not difficult to select soldiers in this way, and they can be selected easily.
"General, do you want to consider another method?"
"This is too simple."
"When my soldiers were performing lurking work, even enemy troops passing by were not discovered for three days and three nights."
Qin Changfeng shook his head: "No, that's it."
Seeing Qin Changfeng being so determined, he stopped talking. It would be great if Qin Changfeng could command most of their troops.
However, after Qin Changfeng's selection began, Wei Nuo's mind changed.
Perhaps none of his soldiers would meet Qin Changfeng's requirements.
It's a little difficult to hide in plain terrain, but not too difficult.
However, what they encountered was the Long Yan Army!
The Long Yan Army responsible for finding people only had a thousand people, and they were looking for hidden soldiers within a five-kilometer radius.
Some people were found lying in trees.
Some people were found hiding in the grass.
Some people even buried themselves with soil, but the traces were still discovered by Long Yanjun.
As the soldiers were found one by one by Long Yanjun, Wei Nuo fully realized how high Qin Changfeng's requirements were.
It is extremely difficult to avoid the observation of these Long Yanjun.
A thousand people launched a carpet-like search, and no one could escape.
Three days was neither long nor short, but in order for the operation to be successful, Ling Chen and Bonaparte planned to use a little trick to make the enemy temporarily lose their guard.
