He had recently heard about Zhao Ming's deeds from Adjutant Zhou.
Adjutant Zhou boasted about Zhao Ming so much that Li Jun just laughed in his heart.
The news fed back by the brothers in the reconnaissance company made him very disdainful of these Mongolians.
It's just more maneuverable, but as great as the advantages are, the disadvantages are also obvious.
This is a grassland and the terrain is very open. This kind of terrain is both good and bad for cavalry.
As long as he does not overly pursue the results and press forward step by step, these Outer Mongolians will become the stepping stones for his achievements.
It's just a primitive attack method, not worth mentioning.
As for how Zhao Ming achieved his results, Li Jun didn't bother to think too much. He might have used some tricks to get machine guns or some heavy firepower.
He doesn't know how he can lose anyway?
Adjutant Zhou was not convinced about Commander Li's confidence. He also felt that this Mongolian man came here to seek death.
Commander Li is well-equipped and they are all veterans. Although most of them are infantry, there are few cavalry and their mobility is a bit poor.
But with so much sophisticated equipment, it doesn't matter if its mobility is poor.
"Hmm... Commander Li, it's better not to rush this matter. If there is no more fighting here after a while, I will mention it to the commander again.
However, it is impossible to go too deep into the grassland. After all, you also know the situation in Chahar right now. "
"Haha, of course! Don't worry, Adjutant Zhou, I will definitely not cause you any trouble. Everything will be based on the orders of Adjutant Zhou and Shangfeng!"
Li Jun smiled and nodded repeatedly.
His heart was already filled with joy, and it seemed that Adjutant Zhou was also moved.
The two chatted happily in the headquarters, but what they didn't know was that the situation in the defense line along the way was somewhat different from what they imagined.
In a trench, a bonfire was rising brightly, and nearly 30% of the men of a company were gathered around to warm themselves over the fire.
cold!
it's too cold!
Some of them are from the north, and some are from the Central Plains, but they have never had the experience of garrisoning outside in heavy snow.
Yan Laoxi is very kind to his subordinates. Everyone has winter clothes.
However, the cold resistance of this winter coat is good in other places, but here it is like a sieve, completely incomparable with the sheepskin jackets of the herdsmen.
"Bah! We have to be stationed in this damn weather. I don't know what the commander is thinking!"
"Oh, yes, this year we finally have half a month off, and I was thinking about finding a brothel to find a girl to warm up.
I never imagined that I would go to this hellish place and suffer! "
"No, I didn't even have a drink. I came out in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to buy cigarettes. Hey, Lao Zhao, don't throw that cigarette butt away and give me a sip!"
A group of big-headed soldiers were holding long spears and warming themselves over the fire, all with sad faces.
In this damn weather, they didn't dare to hold the gun barrel, so they held it with their cuffed arms, and their palms were retracted into the sleeves early.
"Damn it! Pay attention to me, the snow is so heavy, don't let the fire put it out!"
Seeing that the fire was getting smaller and smaller, someone immediately shouted for everyone to add firewood and charcoal.
"Oh! Save it, we brought all this charcoal from behind.
If you use more charcoal here, there will be less charcoal in the logistics department of the regiment. You will be punished when the time comes! "
Seeing someone carelessly shoveling a shovel full of charcoal and putting it into the fire, some people began to curse.
The charcoal in this group was transported from the rear.
The fact that they can make a fire is also a benefit to the logistics brothers. Otherwise, they would just use charcoal and be hungry tomorrow.
Without charcoal, so many people in the group would not even be able to drink hot soup.
They also thought about finding some wood and branches nearby, but unfortunately, they could find very few, and the grassland was not the land of the southern Central Plains.
Even if there is any, it has been collected by herdsmen early and kept for winter use. As for the excrement of cattle and sheep, forget about it.
Instead, I borrowed some dried animal dung from the nearby Shangdu Department, but they were in short supply of that stuff and couldn't spare more.
"Oh! I hope the delivery person can bring more charcoal next time. I don't want any girls anymore. I just want to warm myself up and have a good sleep!"
"No!"
Everyone sighed.
At this moment, someone suddenly said,
"Just be quiet!"
"What's wrong?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then the person who spoke earlier continued, "Did you find that it was a little too quiet?"
After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.
"What the hell are you talking about? It's so windy and snowy right now, what else can you hear besides the wind?"
"No, shouldn't we change our defenses? Why hasn't anyone come over to notify us? Those idiots are also thinking about this fire!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
yes!
In order to keep warm by the fire, since no one else bothers us, we will continue to warm ourselves up here, as long as we can be comfortable.
"It's a little abnormal, let me go take a look!"
A veteran in his forties frowned and pretended to climb out of the trench.
Just saw that he had just exposed half of his body, bang!
There was a very low muffled sound, but the veteran groaned and fell directly into the trench.
"Haha, Lao Wang, your feet are numb from squatting for a long time, right?"
Hearing the movement, several people burst into laughter, but they smiled and found that the brothers opposite them looked horrified.
There was a vague feeling that something was wrong. When they turned around to look, they were so frightened that their hearts stopped.
I saw an arrow stuck directly into Lao Wang's chest. Lao Wang's mouth opened and closed silently, and every time he opened and closed, a large amount of blood gushes out.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
Almost as soon as a shout was heard, the clatter of horse hooves resounded in the wilderness, and it was very dense and chaotic, as if the sound of horse hooves was coming from all directions.
When these people climbed out of the trench and held their guns, they wanted to see the situation.
As soon as I saw it, I could only vaguely see the shadowy figure riding a horse in the wind and snow.
Some of them have directly broken down the barbed wire fence in front of them. Even if they cost the lives of several riders, as long as they can break down the barbed wire fence, these Mongolians will not hesitate.
It's just that it's not just the front, there are also many cavalry who have come around from the flanks.
"No! I can't see people clearly! I can't see people clearly!"
someone exclaimed.
They didn't feel it when they didn't find the enemy. When they found the enemy, they discovered how wrong the position layout was.
The wind and snow were so heavy that the visual range was greatly reduced.
It was a good thing that there was a bonfire placed in the sentry tower not far away. The flames dispersed the darkness and expanded the field of vision.
But I don't know when, the brothers who were on guard duty on the sentry tower were already dead.
Without exception, they all had arrows stuck in their bodies. Not only did they fall down, they also knocked over the bonfire on the guard tower.
The iron basin fell directly from the simple sentry tower, flipped upside down in the snow, and went out after a while.
As night falls, so does the killing.
Da da da!
There was a loud sound of gunfire, but many arrows were also shot from the dark night.
