After a big victory, soldiers can take a short rest, but officers cannot.
Before the food in everyone's stomachs was digested, p5092 held an urgent temporary combat meeting.
The small command camp was filled with officers at all levels and combat staff officers.
Everyone doesn't quite know why p5092 called everyone together at this moment, didn't they just win a big victory
But p5092 glanced at the officers at all levels in front of him and said: "Although we have just won a victory, everyone must understand that we will face a more brutal battle next. Time is running out, and I will not discuss anything with you , but directly arrange for defense deployment.”
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly, everyone felt a sense of urgency, as if p5092 felt that the defensive position was about to suffer, which made them even more confused.
p5092 looked at the first regiment and said: "The first regiment has been used as a mobile force before, and the rotation defense task is relatively easy, but it is different from tonight. From 12 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the morning, I require the first regiment to enter a In a state of super combat readiness, push me to the No. 3 defense line."
Qian Yiwen, the head of the first regiment, was stunned for a moment: "Sir, the barbarians have never attacked in the early hours of the morning after so long."
p5092 glanced at him: "It is precisely because they have never attacked during this period of time before. This rule is too easy to summarize, so we must be more vigilant. Moreover, you must do ideological work with the soldiers. From today onwards, you will be responsible It is the most important task on the entire defensive position."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. According to p5092, if the barbarians launched the most violent attack, they would definitely choose the time of dawn
p5092 said: "People in the Central Plains need vision to shoot hot weapons, but barbarians have relatively low requirements for vision when they raid. Even if they only consider the advantages of both sides, the expeditionary army should choose to attack at night instead of avoiding this time period. , so this is the problem. I will only explain this matter once, and then, the second group, you must prepare what I asked you to prepare."
Kong Sheng, the head of the second regiment, stood up straight and said, "Understood."
"If I'm not mistaken," p5092 said, "the general offensive of the expeditionary force will start tonight, tomorrow night at the latest. Everyone, it's up to you whether the defensive position can be held. Maybe you and I will be buried in a few days. Here, the barbarians have more troops than us, even if they have just won a great victory, they still have ten times our troops."
"You also understand that in my battle plan, I want to trade one for ten with the expeditionary army, so the most optimistic situation is that we and the barbarians will die here together. In the next few days, you may not even have time to sleep, and someone will be injured. , some people will be exhausted, but I hope that until that moment comes, you will always understand why you are standing here. Okay, the meeting is over."
After finishing speaking, all the officers walked out of the command tent, and Wang Yun asked from the side, "Aren't you afraid of affecting morale by making the situation so bad on purpose?"
"If I don't say it, they won't think about it?" p5092 said calmly: "In fact, everyone understands what we are going to face now, and what we should do is to die and survive. I want them to be clear when they are fighting. Remember, killing ten savages is the only way to get back your money, and if you kill one more, your comrades may live one more. This is the courage to sink the boat, and the power of despair in the face of adversity."
"Then why do you speculate that the barbarians will launch a strong attack?" Wang Yun was puzzled.
But this question, p5092 did not answer.
…
In the thick night, the Zuoyun Mountains lay close to the wilderness, among the strange peaks and mountains, the defensive positions looked extremely small and powerless.
However, in fact, there are hundreds of defensive bunkers criss-crossed on the defensive position. When the soldiers walked through them, the bunkers were as high as their chests.
This is because the expeditionary army does not use thermal weapons. If they use them, then they have to dig trenches and air-raid shelters. The height of the trenches can only be climbed up with ladders. The periscope in the trench is like being in a submarine.
On the ground, the criss-cross bunkers are like rows of houses, and p5092 also specially named each main passage, such as Zhenxing Road, Shaman Road, and so on.
This is not for the sake of morale, but for the convenience that sometimes in chaotic battles, orders can be communicated quickly.
In fact, this is a very common and ancient method in wars. Since humans have other means of communication, some people have gradually abandoned this method. But now that the communication equipment of the Sixth Combat Brigade has been disabled, p5092 has been picked up. this method.
At this time, a veteran from Zhenxing Road was leaning on the bunker beside him, and was using the discarded bullet casings in his hand to write on the bunker. The recruit looked over and saw the words Zhenxing Road.
However, just as the recruit was about to say something, the veteran suddenly stood up straight and looked out of the bunker, and picked up the military binoculars beside him.
In the distance, black figures were rushing towards them. The dense crowd of people made the veteran's scalp tingle.
Before that, everyone was curious, obviously the barbarian never launched an offensive during this period of time, is the order of the p5092 chief right
Now, everyone has the answer, p5092 is correct.
The command camp had just received the news of the enemy attack. Wang Yun turned to look at p5092: "How did you guess that the expeditionary army was coming? You didn't answer me before."
"Because I checked the supplies brought back by the young marshal," p5092 said: "there are a lot of supplies, but a quarter of them are black bread. You have tasted those black bread, sour, astringent and bitter. Even barbarians probably don’t like to eat this kind of food, do they?”
"Yes," Wang Yun said, "I don't think that's something people eat."
"This shows that their supplies are in a very tight situation. Maybe the environment in the north is too harsh. They can't get enough to eat, so they went south," p5092 analyzed: "Now, they have just broken through the fire defense line. We found a new source of supplies, but the young commander took more than half of them in one pot. Together with their own supplies and the supplies of Tinder, the young commander did not let go of them all."
"So, their plan to support war with war was interrupted by the young commander," Wang Yun said in a daze.
"That's right," p5092 said, "Now that the supplies are taken away in one pot, if they don't put all their eggs in one basket and launch a general attack, they may not win the Central Plains people in the future, and they will starve themselves. Although it is a bit awkward to say, it is no longer the savages. Take the initiative, you may not believe it, but they may think they are fighting back... "
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu never thought that he would have such a big impact on the whole situation just by robbing a few supplies troops...
