The 567th chapter guerrilla (1)
On July 18, after a small bush in the north of Mingcao County, Ao Shigemasatsu stared at the Red Leaf Army slowly moving from afar. Although he was only 17 years old this year, he was an amazing sharpshooter in Nelai. He was deeply influenced by Tsuda Suanmasa and Tsuda Suanmasa. Therefore, he became the young general of Nelai Zhong at such a young age.
Originally, with his qualifications, it was not the turn of independent command. However, this time, according to the tactics decided by the leaders of various Chinese people, except for the Zaga who guarded the important city of Iwam Village, the entire Kii people had to be broken into pieces and launched guerrilla warfare against the Red Leaf Army in the mountains. Therefore, Oshimasa was also assigned to the 2o war soldiers because of his title as a general (in the Kii people, there was actually no strict distinction between war soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, but the weapons were not enough to be sent to everyone), and he was ordered to go to Mingcao County to harass the Red Leaf Army.
Because the official road is too narrow and curved and the traffic is extremely limited, the marching plan formulated by the General Staff of the Red Leaf Army still makes full use of various mountain paths. Not far from Ao Chongzheng was a platoon of war soldiers prepared by the Red Leaf Army, who were following this small mountain road. Ao Chongzheng knew that in the entire Mingcao County, there might be hundreds of groups of guerrillas lurking like him at this moment. But he didn't know that he was the first among all guerrillas to contact the Red Leaf Army, and was about to fire the first shot of the Battle of Jiyi.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Prepare." Ao Chongzheng lowered his voice and reminded him that the seven iron gunners in the team were loading and igniting fire. Then, everyone held their breath and watched silently as the pair of soldiers got closer and closer, and the neat steps became louder and louder. When the long spear of the Red Leaf Army lined up 50 meters away from the side of their bushes, Ao Chongzheng suddenly turned over and roared: "Shoot!"
As he pulled the trigger, the seven iron gunners and six archers on his side also stood up and shot at the Red Leaf Army not far away. After a burst of gunfire, a burst of smoke rose from the bushes, and one of the 50-person platoons of the Red Leaf Army was knocked down and one was injured.
"Enemy attack!" The Red Leaf Army reacted as soon as the gunshots sounded. The commander immediately shouted in Chinese command, "The gunshots are on the left! The first and second squads, immediately search the bushes on the left!"
"Yes!" The two squads on the left of the team immediately turned around under the guidance of their feet and rushed towards the bushes with long spears. Seeing this, Ao Chongzheng immediately led his subordinates to retreat into the hills and forests behind him, and used the complex terrain to get rid of the Red Leaf Army. The people of Genlai were only wearing simple clothes to facilitate marching in the complex terrain. However, the hard equipment that the Red Leaf Army, which is proud of in battle formations, has become an obstacle at this moment, making the soldiers' actions among the mountains, forests and shrubs a little, and the distance is gradually being thrown away.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
After Ao Chongzheng set a safe distance, he retreated to another shrub, quickly commanded the command to load iron cannons, and shot the Red Leaf Army chasing into the forest for another round, killing two more. Although the archers fought and retreated, they almost kept firing, but they failed to cause any damage to the well-armed Red Leaf Army. The Red Leaf Army wanted to pursue further, and Ao Chongzheng immediately asked others to throw the stones and soil blocks prepared in advance towards the Red Leaf Army. Although it could not cause any damage, it also hindered their march. Seeing that the iron cannon was about to complete another round of loading, the platoon leader in charge of the mountain road could no longer sit still, and ordered his subordinates to stop chasing and return immediately.
"It's no point to fight with those little thieves." The platoon leader of the platoon snorted disdainfully, "Your Highness emphasized many times in previous meetings. As long as the march is not affected, don't be delayed by the guerrillas of the people of Jiyi and fall into the battle between the mountains and forests."
&1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, after the marching formation was restored on the mountain road, Ao Chongzheng came over with people in disarray. They took advantage of their familiar terrain and took a small path and ambushed the platoon again. When the platoon passed by, they fired another volley and shot another person. The platoon, who was prepared, ignored Ao Chongzheng's troops and continued to march. But after a while, they were attacked again.
"Is it over?" This time, not only the platoon leader, but many of the platoons in the platoon were a little angry. They did nothing in this platoon, and inexplicably suffered 10% of the casualties, and they also didn't even touch the enemy's hair.
"Cao, I'm so annoying." The platoon leader cursed and said viciously, "It's not necessary that they fight like this in vain! When is this the end? This has interfered with our march."
"The first and second shifts follow me and rushed over from the front! The third and fourth shifts surrounded each other, and the fifth shift stayed on the official road to guard!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Yes!" After receiving the order to fight, the soldiers of Mingdibei, who were already stuffy, were excited and rushed over from three directions. Ao Chongzheng did not expect that their formation would change so quickly, and hurriedly led their troops to retreat. They retreated all the way and opened a certain distance again. After Genlai's iron gunners immediately seized the time to load and ignite the fire. However, this time, Mingdibei seemed to be prepared. When he saw Genlai's preparation for shooting, the four squad leaders immediately ordered: "Look down!"
Before the gunshots rang out, the soldiers of Mingdibao threw their spears to the side and lay down on the ground covered with bushes and weeds. The iron gunner suddenly lost his target and shot bullets on the ground randomly, but no one hit them. After the gunshots, with the sound of "standing up", the soldiers of Mingdibao immediately stood up and charged again.
"Nani?" Ao Chongzheng and Genlai were shocked by this strange way of playing and forgot to move for a while. By the time they wanted to evacuate, the spearmen who were prepared by Mingdi had approached a very close position.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
The operation that Ming Di just now was the movements Yu Qiuping practiced again and again in the military exercises in advance. Since I learned in advance that many of the 3ooo soldiers of the Ji Yi people may have iron cannons with no less than the number of iron cannons in the Red Leaf Army. Therefore, how to conduct anti-iron cannon training is crucial. The Red Leaf Army has always had firepower advantages in the past years - but the situation this time may be different.
However, this is not a problem for Yu Qiuping, a time traveler. Not to mention these mesh rope guns, even in the later era of hot weapons, the most effective way to deal with shootings was the same move - lying down. During military exercises, he repeatedly asked his subordinates to train the lying down while marching to deal with possible shootings.
According to Takenaka Shigeji's suggestion, if you really want to fight back against attackers in complex terrain on both sides of the road, the unilateral pursuit may be futile, just blocking your companions behind you. If you want to fight back effectively, you must encircle the circle. All commanders at level one and above have practiced multiple encirclement attacks, and now they are naturally easy to use.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, the people of Ao Chongzheng were local snakes. They had come to this area many times and were already familiar with the terrain in the mountains. Ao Chongzheng immediately led his subordinates to a bush, and then quickly disappeared behind another wood. The pursuers who were marching through the bush were not familiar with the terrain. After rushing through the bush, they did not pay attention to the several big holes under their feet. They slid to the point where they fell several times, and were thrown away by Ao Chongzheng again.
They were wearing heavy armor, and they could not escape the Chinese people in this mountain forest. As long as the Chinese people did not want to attack and were determined to run, they had no choice but to order the platoon leader to withdraw his troops and return to the mountain road. However, Ao Chongzheng once again entangled like a shadow. The platoon leader, who was Mingdi, was unwilling to endure the casualties and retreated from the other road back to the main road, and gave up the plan to use this road to clear the traffic and advance quickly.
·
Not only the unlucky platoon prepared by Mingdi, the troops of the Red Leaf Army on all the paths encountered untiring guerrillas, and the messengers were sent one by one to the official road where Yu Qiuping was located.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Hehe, I'm not much better than them here." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly and shook his head, listening to gunfire sounds again in a forest on the right side of the official road.
"Let An Cheng send iron gunners to suppress those annoying guys, and the main force continues to march, and don't be dragged back." Yu Qiuping looked at the distant Zaga crowd in the distance with some annoyance - their number is about 5oo, and they are basically iron gunners. They have no intention of fighting with Yu Qiu's family, but they are shooting the Red Leaf Army. One plus of the Red Leaf Army, and they leave quickly. Since they are not wearing enough clothes and running fast, the Red Leaf Army cannot catch up at all - and the Red Leaf Army's cavalry is still far behind because it is difficult to move on the mountain road, so they can't be transferred at all.
The iron cannons were constantly attacking on both sides of the road, and sometimes the warriors who rushed out to attack the marching marching teams, as well as the candy-like Zaga in front of them, dragged the Red Leaf Army's troops very slowly. The Red Leaf Army's troops diversion on various paths also encountered trouble and would return to the main road in a short while, which would further aggravate the congestion of the road. The traffic volume of the road was not large, and then the food and grass and projectiles would not be transported.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Let's hold another assessment meeting tonight. We need to discuss this damn situation." Yu Qiuping scratched his head and nodded to Takenaka Shigeji who was thinking about it. "If we drag on like this, we can't even walk into the Saga Castle and we will be out of food."
That night, all the rangers sent by Yu Qiuping to the small road were basically returned to the official road to camp. However, Yu Qiuping could not call all the officers for a meeting. Because even at night, Ji Yi people were still harassing Yu Qiuping's troops. It was dark and there were shots here and there. From time to time, people rushed out to steal the camp. It was impossible not to send people to guard against them. Yu Qiuping also felt that if he could not think of any way to counter these elusive guerrillas in the forest, the troops would not even sleep at night.
