The remnants of the Anben River built a wooden stronghold in the mountains, as well as a lookout post and so on. In a short period of time, the military camp was built in an appropriate shape.
At the foot of the hillside in front of the wooden village, Lu Ming personally handed An Benhe the letter of appointment as Brigadier General of the 105th Brigade of the Imperial Griffin Corps (Black Mountain Corps).
Someone took the lead and warm applause immediately broke out.
Brigadier General Shao Shengxi, brought by Lu Ming, was appointed as the political training commissioner of the 105th Brigade.
This also means that the remnants of the Anben River were officially reorganized into the 105th Brigade.
…
"Counterattack?"
In the wooden house command post, there were only Lu Ming and senior officers from the Anben River unit.
The brigade commander was An Benhe, the political training commissioner was Shao Shengxi, the deputy brigade commander was Li Enze, the chief of staff was Chen Hanlin, and the quartermaster general was Andingyi.
When Li Enze heard Shao Shengxi introduce the next combat mission that the 105th Brigade would undertake, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Deputy Brigade Commander Li, Ma Quanyou's troops have already retreated. Our main force will launch a full-scale attack on Anqing and Songshan to force him to fight us. Under this situation, he has no time to take care of the western front, nor will he care. It should not be a problem for us to go out and recapture Xiyun."
Shao Shengxi is only a young man in his twenties, but his aura is not intimidating at all when facing these old foxes, and people quickly forget his age.
When the Black Mountain Brigade was just formed, Shao Shengxi graduated from the military academy and became a company-level cadre of the Black Mountain Brigade and the head of the company's political training section.
When Lu Ming launched a brigade-wide competition, he joined the company where Shao Shengxi was the political training section chief. He ate, lived, and trained with them.
More than three years have passed, and with the rapid expansion of the Montenegrin Corps, most of the officers of the old Montenegrin Brigade have been promoted very quickly.
Shao Shengxi is one of the best among them and is currently the youngest brigadier general in the entire army.
Of course, he was also named by Lu Ming to come to the 105th Brigade to help his unit reform. This was a very arduous task. Lu Ming thought about it and thought of this young man. So Shao Shengxi, who had just been promoted to colonel, was promoted again in less than a month and entered the ranks of brigadier general.
Lu Ming seemed to be sitting far away smoking a cigar, but in fact he was examining Shao Shengxi, while also observing the expressions of several people around the conference table.
Over there, listening to Shao Shengxi's words, An Benhe gritted his teeth and said, "Commissioner Shao is right. My troops are lingering here. How can we live like human beings? Let's go out and have a good fight! There is a big scar on my head! As long as I can avenge my brother, my life is not a pity!"
Obviously, he also vaguely understood that according to the combat deployment, the 105th Brigade was actually cannon fodder.
Because the activities of Ma Quanyou's First Cavalry Brigade seemed to be waiting to raid his remnants, his troops would inevitably encounter a devastating disaster if they left the mountains.
If the First Cavalry Brigade was tied down and the elite mobile force of Ma Quanyou's troops was delayed in returning for reinforcement, Ma Quanyou would be missing a trump card when fighting against the Montenegrin Army, which was mainly composed of infantry. This trump card could be deployed at any time according to the situation on the battlefield to change the local balance of power.
Shao Shengxi nodded to An Benhe: "Brigade Commander An is absolutely right."
Lu Ming was puffing out smoke and his expression couldn't be seen clearly.
In fact, the 105th Brigade was certainly not sent out to be cannon fodder.
The combat mission currently conveyed by Shao Shengxi is half true and half false.
Coming out of the mountains to restore Xiyun is the truth.
But it is said that the main force of Montenegro will launch a full-scale attack on Anqing and Songshan, forcing Ma Quanyou's troops to fight a decisive battle.
Some of this is true and some is false, and since it involves the highest military secrets, I won't tell them anything I want to say.
After all, the Anben River tribe is still a remnant. Although they are said to have senior generals, who can guarantee that there are no traitors or people waiting to be sold at a high price among them
Not only was the battle plan concealed, but also false information was released. If there were any senior officers of the 105th Brigade who were secretly in collusion with Ma's troops, it would have been better for them to send out this "top secret military intelligence."
And on the whole, the battle plan conveyed was very real, which was equivalent to a hundred sentences, ninety-nine of which were true, but only one was false, and that lie was fatal.
The concealed part was aimed at Ma Quanyou’s First Brigade.
Ma Quanyou's First Cavalry Brigade made a large circle, seemingly preparing a pocket formation to clean up the remnants of the Anben River.
In fact, they should be preparing to move eastward towards Heihuo County.
After making a big circle, it reached the upper reaches of Xiaotang River. After crossing the river, there was a flat plain.
If the so-called "top secret combat plan" of the Anshan Command of the Black Mountain Corps revealed at today's meeting was passed on to Ma Quanyou.
Then, the First Brigade must have moved eastward quickly.
I am afraid that there is no one here who has an ambiguous relationship with Ma Quanyou. Moreover, if it is just an ambiguous relationship, he may not take the risk of informing him.
Lu Ming shook his head. However, he just had to deal with it slowly. He couldn't be impatient when competing with Ma Quanyou, an old fox.
Should we choose someone to create a false appearance of surrender? Among the officers present, who should we choose to surrender
How to plan it? It would be great if the film crew was here.
Lu Ming thought about it and sneered in his heart.
The battle plan is ninety-nine percent true. Unless Ma Quanyou clearly knows that he has determined the true intentions of the First Brigade based on relevant intelligence and movement signs, he will not fail to believe this intelligence.
…
The dishes for the dinner were mainly the ham that Lu Ming brought on the helicopter. The fresh meat was pheasant stewed with mushrooms. There were two pheasants because An Benhe asked his adjutant to go to the mountains to hunt them early in the morning after hearing that Commissioner Zhang was coming. Otherwise, even though they were in the mountains, they couldn't eat meat every day. Firstly, after so many people went into the mountains, the surrounding mountain animals had long since become extinct. Secondly, An Benhe issued a strict order that bullets were precious and no one was allowed to go into the mountains to hunt at will.
Among several senior military officers, including An Benhe, only the family of Chief of Staff Chen Hanlin did not have time to escape from Songshan Castle. There were reports that his entire family had been killed.
The other officers all brought their wives with them. Li Enze even had a concubine, who was very beautiful and named Furong.
Lu Ming was followed by Da Guo and Xiao Guo, all of whom were dressed as service soldiers.
We ate and drank and had a great time.
Lu Ming was arranged to stay in a wooden house and was ready to set off back tomorrow morning.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep when suddenly a gunshot broke the silence.
Half an hour later, An Benhe came hurriedly. In fact, Xiaoguo and Daguo had already reported to Lu Ming.
"We caught the spy!" Lu Ming smiled.
An Benhe's face looked a little gloomy. He thought that Li Enze was just weak-willed, so he kept trying to make peace with Ma Quanyou in a sarcastic way.
Who knew that there was a secret radio station in his home, and his concubine Furong was caught while sending a message.
It is obvious that he has long become Ma Quanyou's lackey and accomplice.
Because Commissioner Zhang came, he strengthened his guard force. By chance, it was discovered that a soldier on duty was a pervert. He secretly climbed a tree and peeked at Furong through the window. It should have been more than once or twice, so he found a very good angle. Furong opened the window and looked out, but didn't see the pervert at all. Then, when Furong took out the radio to send a message, he discovered her.
This pervert was quite smart. He fired a warning shot immediately and shouted "There is a spy". He was quite loyal to his army and did not hesitate at all because he had violated military discipline and discovered this shocking conspiracy. He fired the warning shot to disrupt the other party's thoughts and prevent her from actually sending the telegram.
Furong was equally clever. She quickly set up the antenna to send a message. Even when the soldiers broke in, the message was still ticking.
"I don't know whether that bitch sent the telegram!" An Benhe was worried.
Lu Ming was somewhat helpless, as Xiaoguo and Daguo arrived at the first opportunity but did not stop Furong from sending the message.
The appearance of the spy was great, and I didn't have to do any trouble. But I was worried that the other party might not receive the telegram.
But sending messages in this mountain, although through the ionosphere, the transmitter used by Furong is small and has low power, only two watts, and is greatly affected by the environment, weather, etc. So even if the message is complete, if it is only sent once, Ma Quanyou will most likely not receive it.
"Li Enze has also been arrested temporarily. He keeps saying he didn't know anything about it. I think he didn't lie. But I'm ready to torture him!" An Benhe said sullenly, and then looked at Lu Ming and asked, "Commander Zhang, it's hard to modify the battle plan, right? I'm afraid that bitch has already sent the telegram."
Lu Ming nodded: "I'll think about it."
