Chapter 217 preset battlefield
Feng Yuxiang knew that Wang Jinming would choose this way, otherwise why would he bring 400 people? Although he didn't bring weapons, there were a lot of people in the military camp here, all of them were familiar weapons. If you get a little familiar, you can exert their combat effectiveness. Feng Yuxiang himself wanted to bring his people with him, but these 400 people were all elites brought in that year. After Wang Jinming's assault training, his strength should be above those under Feng Yuxiang.
Soldiers will only be truly at peace when they get weapons. Even when they were riding the train, they carried military batons and pistols, but the protective things like pistols felt completely different from holding spears in their hands. They also asked Feng Yuxiang to turn around in their military uniforms. Compared with other Beiyang troops, Feng Yuxiang was really unable to show off.
The soldiers took the guns, after all, they were not used to it, and they still needed to get familiar with them gradually. They were all veterans and went out from here again and went directly to the shooting range. On Feng Yuxiang's side, everything was guaranteed, with 30-50 rounds a day. They had to test the gun a little more, just move more than a dozen boxes of bullets. There were even special machine gunners who shot Maxim. The shooting range was much more lively.
Feng Yuxiang looked at the soldiers' skillful movements and took Wang Jinming into the war room. This war room was proposed by Yang Yuanzhao. At that time, Yang Yuanzhao just mentioned it casually and talked about the effectiveness of the German staff. Using collective command instead of the commander's blindness can play a relatively large role to a certain extent.
Feng Yuxiang, who didn't believe it, discovered the benefits of this war room after setting up this war room. Even if it was three or five staff members, the plan jointly formulated was more effective than one person's head. Several operations to encircle and suppress bandits were all thanks to these staff members.
Feng Yuxiang is a very realistic person. He will be more or less confused when he has not proved his value, but as long as he proves his value, he will immediately achieve the ultimate.
China does not have a special place to train staff, and it is probably only Germany, but their battalion. Perhaps it is the battalion with the most intellectuals in the entire Beiyang Army. Those revolutionary young people can be said to be natural candidates for staff. Without training since childhood, most of them are rich and well-behaved, study, and let them join the army, and familiar military skills. They may not be better than ordinary farmers, but staff is simply a natural profession established for them. Feng Yuxiang even selected more than 30 staff members and then formed a staff group. Generally, everything in the entire battalion was determined by the staff group and then planned to implement it.
These have already started when Wang Jinming was there, and now they are very skilled. When they walked into the staff group, Yang Yuanzhao found that the staff group seemed to have expanded a little, and they were divided into five teams, and then Feng Yuxiang led him into the first team.
"Hello battalion commander!" A young officer saluted at Feng Yuxiang.
The spoken officer was named Qin Bing, a Sichuan Pao brother, a member of the Tongmenghui. He was one of the first young people to come here. Among all the progressive young people, he was not the most knowledgeable, but he was born with a specialty of staff. After entering the army, he soon stood out.
"Suisheng, you are here too!" Wang Jinming greeted him. He was also very familiar with Qin Bing. When the General Staff was first established, it was with his strong recommendation that Qin Bing entered the General Staff.
"Hello, Company Commander Wang!"
"Okay, I heard that the plan was created by you, how is it now!"
"Come here!" Qin Bing gave them to the front of this big table. There was a huge map on it. This map was not sent by the Beiyang Army. With the strength of the Beiyang Army and the drag of the Qing government, the map sent by the Beiyang Army may not even be found in the right position. This is the map that Feng Yuxiang finally obtained based on the county annals of each county in Liaoning and the field drawing. As a standard map for the Northeast operation, such a map is still being improved, which is the largest.
"Battery Commander, Company Commander, based on the information we know, basically established the general position of the Red Thief, in that aspect!"
On the map, it is divided into three or four colors. Of course, they are all drawn with pencils and can be wiped off. The green ones represent the confirmed information. These are all investigated by them personally, and there are also reported by Shanxi merchants. Red and yellow ones are possible and uncertain information. These are divided into another color. These are intuitively expressed on the map and soon form a rough range.
Under the command of Qin Bing, several staff members kept drawing on the map, summarizing some existing information, and finally established the current general location of the Red Thief, which is 200 kilometers from the northeast of Mongolia.
"They should have taken these three paths!" Qin Bing pointed to the map and said loudly. The clear lines on the map showed the three paths they might take. The three paths were the most likely to go, avoiding some dense areas unless they chose to ship, but 170 cars and nearly 200,000 kilograms of cotton were not something that ordinary merchants could do. The Red Turban thief was hit hard by Feng Yuxiang before, and their inherent thief nest had been lost, so they would first transport these things back to their nests and then deal with them.
This conclusion was also supported by intelligence, so at the end of the three roads, there will be a clear summary and converge. Wang Jinming is not familiar with the northeast and is close to Mongolia, and asked curiously: "Where is where!"
"Meryl Mountain! Although the grassland is large, after passing through the grassland, Black Mountain is a must-pass place after reaching their nests!" Qin Bing said solemnly.
"In this case, I'll wait for my leisure in Black Mountain!" Wang Jinming looked at the map and said with some clarity.
Feng Yuxiang nodded and said, "Okay, then put it in Heishan. I'll leave the matter to me. I will radiate my strength and stare at these people along the way. Don't worry, cotton and people can't escape!"
"Thank you, brother!"
"Brother, why are you saying thank you? Qin Bing, you can work hard, get out the map of Xishan and make a combat plan!"
"It's the battalion commander!"
Heishan is more than 100 kilometers away from Shenyang and the camp where Feng Yuxiang is located, which is even more than 200 kilometers. It should be that it is not in the same direction. Fortunately, the Red Thief needs at least 4-5 days to rush to Heishan. A team of 400 people first went to the military camp to get weapons. In the name of the Beiyang Army, they can be near Shenyang. They are the Beiyang Army, but their names are not on them.
The capable spy platoon also took action, quickly contacted the Red Trouble, staring at the Red Trouble. The power used by Shanxi merchants was also the city above the location that Kajun experienced. A large net with a huge potential power was located in the northern country. Without the Red Trouble discovering it, he walked towards their network.
Such two big nets went towards the Red Trouble, but the Red Trouble did not react at all. After entering the Northeast, they became much bolder and dared to enter the city. The image of several leaders, including the Red Trouble, had already been distributed to various shops. In the inns and restaurants, there were people watching them. The more they entered, the more people they were, and various messages were also increasing. With the arrival of a large amount of news, they were getting closer and closer to Montenegro. They were on the nearest road and headed to Montenegro without taking the two roads they had expected.
After two days of rest at the foot of the Black Mountain, the momentum of the entire army was completely different. 400 soldiers were wearing Beiyang Army uniforms and Mauser rifles, with uniform appearance and high morale.
"Brothers, those Red Turban Army are just 50 kilometers away. We have a whole day to arrange the battlefield!" Wang Jinming said, waving the engineer shovel in his hand and shouting: "Do work!"
More than 400 snow-clear engineer shovels have been organized almost at the same time. Such engineer shovels are produced in an all-in-one machine, and currently only about 1,000 are referenced to the design of later military shovels. They are extremely sharp and far better than the shovels of this era. According to training, a person uses this shovel to dig out a single pit that can be hidden by individual soldiers, which can be at most half an hour.
According to the previous map and on-site survey, there is a bag-shaped pass on this Black Mountain, with wide in front and narrow in the back. Of course, this narrowness is only relatively speaking, about 300 meters, which is the best place to block.
There are more than 400 people in the 300-meter mountain pass, blocking it. On average, one person needs to be one meter and control the back. For Wang Jinming, there are many things to consider. He only left about 120 people in the front, but the heavy firearms of the entire army were almost all placed here, with a total of 12 Maxim's 10, which are to be placed here.
120 people were divided into three lines of defense, and used cross firepower to seal the entire mountain pass. Trenches must be dug, which is also the focus of this trip's earthwork. Other personnel will be arranged to go to the mountains on both sides and the entrance in front, and there will be two Maxim there to prevent the escaping of the horse bandits. They also need to leave some of the mobile power. This mobile power is about 100 people, and they are all cavalrymen, with the better riding skills among the 400 people. They are also from Feng.
Yuxiang borrowed some cavalry from there, which were transformed from bandits who did not do serious crimes. They were all skilled in riding, used to prevent accidental pursuits, perfect arrangements, and thoughtful designs. In the village not far away, there were soldiers from a company sent by Feng Yuxiang and 200 fully armed soldiers, ready to intervene at any time. It can be said that they were foolproof.
