Chapter 1430 Night Talk
"Come on, come on, have a drink. I have been in Qiu Tongzhou for five years. I feel like I am almost from Qiu Tongzhou. Lao Liu, I have put a little less pepper!" I swallowed a big mouthful of wine, and used chopsticks to pick up the rabbit head from the hot rabbit soup with a steel helmet. Zhao Ergou gnawed the rabbit head that didn't have much meat like a big revenge on life and death.
Ling Hong and Liu Dazhu both chuckled. Zhao Ergou's words hit the hearts of both of them. Neither of them are native to Qiu Tongzhou, but after living in Qiu Tongzhou for a long time, they fell in love with the pepper they once avoided.
However, when the Independent Group went on this expedition, it would take as much ammunition and supplies as much as possible to fill the stomach. It would still be as good as everyone's taste and bring more seasonings like chili? Just this little chili was the one that Ling Hong bought on the street when he went to the city to buy various scarce supplies a few days ago. It was really difficult to eat chili in the two states.
After cooking for three or four hours, although the hare meat had a bit of earthy smell, it was a rare delicacy for most soldiers who had been eating military rations for more than a month. Just look at Zhao Ergou's mouth full of oil, you can tell that he was just a little greedy.
"You bastard just want to tell us that the taste is average, and then you can eat more!" Ling Hong looked at this guy's tired look and rolled his eyes, sipped a sip of wine, took out a piece of rabbit leg meat from the pot, and started chewing it.
"Do you think we will go to war?" Liu Dazhu did not drink, but held the cup and looked thoughtful.
"The commander has issued a military order to prepare for war. I guess it will be in these two days." Ling Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, gently put down the flesh in his hand, and replied.
Although Liu Lang did not mobilize the entire regiment in the past two days, he did not say anything clearly. As the backbone of the Independent Regiment, they knew that they were going to Huangsucheng, a small and unknown county town located behind the front line of the Haicheng army.
"It doesn't matter when to go to war. What's important is why do you think the commander chose to go to this place that is not the front line?" Liu Dazhu pulled out the thigh-sided sting and drew a map on the ground. However, a few strokes horizontally and vertically, he drew the rough pattern of the Haicheng area map where the two armies of Haicheng were facing each other at this time.
Needless to say, during the days when the temporary garrison was preparing for the war, the bayonet battalion commander did a lot of homework and had already mastered the map of Haicheng area.
The location of Huangsucheng County, which Liu Dazhu's army pointed to, is located behind hundreds of thousands of troops in the west front line of Haicheng.
"From my understanding of the superior, since he actively asked for battle, he would never be a green leaf. Besides, the battle in Haicheng has come to an end. The most important function of stationing in Huangsu City is to cover the retreat of the main force." Ling Hong said at the simple map drawn by Liu Dazhu. "Also, hundreds of thousands of troops will retreat towards the four already built national defense lines and the royal capital, which should have nothing to do with Huangsu City."
"Yes, I have been thinking about this question these days, but the superior never does useless work when fighting." Liu Dazhu's expression suddenly became extremely serious. "There must be a mystery in this."
For Liu Lang, in addition to his comrades who can trust his life and death, for these soldiers who rolled in the rain of bullets, he was also a commander worthy of entrusting. They were willing to fight under his command, even if they were dead.
Although Liu Lang led them to attack more often with less, to outsiders, they were almost always a life-and-death situation, but from the beginning, the people who decided to sell their lives to him for the generous treatment of Liu Lang to others and then completely changed their mentality after winning consecutive victories.
This mentality is actually similar to that of modern people. When material things are satisfied, they begin to pursue spirit. For example, the rich man with mines at home starts to drive one luxury car and show off, and begins to learn to taste red wine that they think is sour and slim their heads and mix in what they think is the so-called upper class society.
Little people like Liu Dazhu are no exception. After their belly is satisfied, the successive victory and medals have given them a great sense of honor. They have begun to learn to safeguard the interests of the kingdom and nation like their leader. When more and more people recognize each other, they also have great satisfaction.
Liu Dazhu opened his heart in front of his two brothers, the most core of the Independent Regiment, and the commander of the artillery battalion, naturally he did not question Liu Lang's decision. He just wanted to make his own judgment, or to try to follow Liu Lang's footsteps.
Liu Lang's frown in the past few days made his subordinates feel the pressure of the storm coming and the wind is coming. What the Independent Group has to face must be a big battle.
"There is only a Jiafu River near Huangsu City and Jiangbaicheng Bay dozens of kilometers away. Unless the Black Hawk Army detours Jiangbaicheng Bay and captures our army's rear route, there will be no big battle in Huangsu City." Ling Hong shook his head and said. "But once the Black Hawk Army has a large-scale mobilization of troops, the eyes of the officials on the front line are not blind. How could they not block that hole?"
"Yes! Even if the Black Hawk Empire deceived the generals on the front line, if there were no 30,000 to 40,000 people landing from Jiangbaicheng Bay, maybe my army of hundreds of thousands would draw out 100,000 people and make dumplings for them. They were carrying the sea, but there was no way out." Liu Dazhu shook his head in distress and sighed. "Unless the Black Hawk Army has reinforcements."
"Reinforcements?" Ling Hong was stunned and looked horrified. "Damn it, the Black Hawk Empire must have reinforcements, and there are a large number of them. Otherwise, the regiment commander would not be so worried. This battle would be difficult."
I'm afraid that if the first-level generals and second-level generals who were in trouble in the Supreme Command in the royal capital knew that the Black Hawk Army landing location that they had discussed for several days would be discussed by three small army majors with a rabbit hot pot. Moreover, the telegram half an hour ago had been confirmed, they would have blushed!
Of course, the reason why the three little army majors were so sure was that they had no intelligence or any other reason, just because they had their understanding of their superiors and their incomparable trust.
Commander Liu never fought meaningless battles, nor did he fight unprepared battles, and his characteristics have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The battles of the independent regiment must be a big battle and a key battle, just like the ancient city and the east of Lingpizhou.
This is naturally dispensable in the eyes of those big shots. Not to mention that Liu Lang is just a small team leader now, even if he is a teacher, in their eyes, he is just a slightly stronger little ant.
"I said you two are both worried about eating carrots and eating them salty. So what if the Black Hawk Empire comes from Jiangbaichengwan? The commander said that, then I have to rush up and fuck them." Zhao Ergou, who has been concentrating on gnawing the rabbit head, crossed his legs and threw the clean rabbit head, licking the grease on his fingers reluctantly, and said lazily. "Tell me the truth to you! This bottle of wine, but our family carried wine in a backpack for almost two months. Last time, Dongdasheng of Lingzhou, was not willing to give it to me, but last night, I tried my best to give it to me. I knew at that time that this battle was probably different from before."
He glanced at the two of them with a slanted glance and said disdainfully: "Otherwise, you two, you two, think I will be so idle that I will take the initiative to send rabbits and wine, and ask you two?"
"No wonder, I said why the sun came out from the west today." Ling Hong laughed. "But my sister-in-law didn't say that she would be gentle with you by using the time of delivering wine? Anyway, you can make do with the wild field when you are in a vain mood. Fortunately, Team Yu ordered it quickly in the woods last time, otherwise you would be in a big loss."
"Get out, I'm a deep love between husband and wife, you know how to do it!" Zhao Ergou shouted angrily without blushing, but a hint of confusion appeared on his face: "Actually, this is not a secret. I guess by the morning, the regiment commander will personally announce that the field hospital has received an order from the regiment commander. Today during the day, Xiao Cui'er will take all the female nurses in the field hospital to other places and not go to the battlefield with the army."
Liu Dazhu and Ling Hong looked silent. They knew very well the meaning behind this military order. Obviously, Commander Liu was not optimistic about the result of this battle. The danger of this battle was far beyond the past. Their judgment should be absolutely certain. If the Black Hawk Army came to reinforcements, it would inevitably have huge forces.
No wonder this guy got this pretty secret news from his wife, so he hurriedly came to find two brothers to drink and eat meat. He obviously regarded this wine as the last time.
"There are more than 2,000 people at the beginning of our Independent Group, who guarded the ancient city and fought the east of Pizhou, and could survive until now. I'm afraid there is not even a thousand five!" Liu Dazhu silently lit a cigarette and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ling Hong shook his head, "Not to mention 1,500, all those with broken legs and arms are included. 1,000 are all very difficult. Think about how many people died in the eight days of Anwupo, the ancient city, Dazhu, you were the company commander at that time, and there were only fifty or sixty people left in one company!"
"Yes! We can live to this day, isn't we much better than those brothers who died in battle?" Liu Dazhu vomited a mouthful of smoke, his eyes full of bleakness.
"I wonder how long it will take to fight this battle?" Zhao Ergou said. "How great it would be if we could live and watch the doll grow up!"
"I think you probably can't see it. Although you are a damn artillery, you didn't shoot at them against the Black Hawk Empire's shells? I was so frightened by the infantry who fought with the Black Hawk Empire's bayonets." Liu Dazhu, who didn't usually talk a lot, smiled and took over the conversation. "Don't worry, if you die, I will help you raise the stones and Xiao Cui'er in your family, otherwise, you can also ask Xiao Fenghua to help you raise. You have to know that Xiao Fenghua is really... How do you say the word "the leader"?"
"Refreshing?"
"Yes, he's very slutty. He once told me that he likes those with big butts." Liu Dazhu smiled and squirted out a cigarette.
"Hey! Xiao Cui'er's personality, you, Liu, can't bear to surrender, and Lao Xiao, don't think about you, a little white-faced person. It's your little body, if you meet Xiao Cui'er, you will be separated in a few seconds. Only I, Lao Zhao, can handle it." Zhao Ergou was not annoyed, rolled his eyes and suppressed his two friends and bragged about him.
"However, that guy Lao Xiao is not mainly responsible for charging and rushing into battle. He can talk to him before going to the battlefield. I can rest assured that Xiao Cui'er and Shi Tou are handed over to him. They must have something to eat," Zhao Ergou added.
"Damn it, don't be able to eat anything. Sister-in-law's military pay is no less than you. You are attracted to the military pay that Lao Xiao has saved for so many years. I don't know your bad character." Ling Hong replied disdainfully.
"What's wrong? When Shi Tou grows up, he can't marry a wife! If you don't have money, then! I, a father, can only think so much about him." Zhao Ergou raised his neck and took a sip of wine.
Without the fear before the war, nor any ambitions and pride, the three army majors quietly bid farewell to their friends in this extremely simple way and explained their affairs afterwards.
The general idea is: If I die, then your wife, children and parents, you have to take care of them if you are not dead.
Very calm.
