Chapter 78: Exercise 1
On July 10, 1893, the US Pacific Fleet visited Hawaii.
After 21 salutes were heard, George Dewey first invited Chen Zheng to board the Pacific Fleet flagship "Los Angeles" to visit. Li Zhu, Qin Zhennan (Erdan) and others happened to return from the UK two days ago, and also boarded the "Los Angeles" with Chen Zheng.
Chen Zheng was naturally very envious of the battleship "Los Angeles", but Li Zhu, Qin Zhennan and others had interns in the British "June-Class" battleship, and knew the parameters of the dreadnought that was being built on the dock, so he naturally had no interest in the "California" class in the United States.
Qin Ge was not interested in the visit of the Pacific Fleet. As long as the dreadnought was released, the Pacific Fleet would be a cloud. Now Qin Ge has learned a lot of naval combat knowledge from Chen Zheng. Even if he only gave him one dreadnought, Qin Ge believed that he could easily defeat the Pacific Fleet.
Now it is not far from Sino-Japanese War, so it is important to step up training in the army, and today another exercise is underway.
Unlike previous exercises, the red side participating in this exercise is ordinary infantry, while the blue side is a special force named "Ghost".
The exercise was set up for the Blue side to set up bunkers on a vicinity high ground, while the Red side brigade had about 6,000 people to capture the bunkers.
Both sides have individual weapons, only rifles + pistols + sufficient ammunition, and no machine gun gun grenades.
At about 2 pm, the Red Front Brigade Commander Li Shuang closed his pocket watch with a "snap" and ordered: "Action!"
The regiment commander and battalion commander stood at attention in the tent, and then saluted, "Yes!"
After everyone left, Deputy Brigade Commander He Bugong said to Li Shuang: "I really attacked directly from the front? I heard that the 'Ghost's' group of people are very powerful."
"No matter how strong we are, there are only 200 people. We have more than 5,000 people, and we can destroy them in an hour!"
"But this will increase the casualties of soldiers."
"Then what do you do? Our soldiers are now all light-fit, without heavy firepower, and even grenades. Many of the tactics taught by the principal in the military academy are not used. Moreover, there is only one way to go up the mountain. I sent people to reconnaissance the path in the other two days, and it is not easy to move forward. Moreover, the guys of the "Ghost" have arranged a few people. Three of them came back. And they only had 200 guns, so the firepower is definitely not much stronger. Only strong attack is the most effective method!" Li Shan said.
Based on the situation of both sides, a head-on attack is indeed the best way, and Li Shan has an absolute advantage in military strength.
In the bunker number 656.
"Ge Ye, when do you think they will attack? At around 9 o'clock in the morning, I killed several scouts on the two paths on the side. It's 2 o'clock now, why haven't there any movement?"
Ge Ye is Ge Sancun. People in the "ghost" generally do not call the platoon leader or the captain. They are relatively loose in terms of discipline, but they have a tacit understanding. When they cooperate, they are not as simple as 1+1=2.
"Xiao Wu, why are you anxious? The young master said that the exercise must have been carried out today. Are you still afraid that they won't come?"
"Hahaha, that's it, that's it."
"Papapapapapa" was just as I spoke, three red signal flares rose.
"Look, this is coming, right? Three red signal flares, the opposite one is going to attack head-on! Everyone is here to say it again, don't aim at the head of the sniper, these are all your brothers. Although this rubber bullet cannot hit the flesh, it will be bad if it hits the eyes. Do you understand?" Seeing the signal flare, Ge Sancun's eyes were a little excited. They had never participated in the previous exercises, so they must make a big splash this time!
"clear."
"Also, you must win!"
"clear!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------�
"The regiment commander, no enemy situation was discovered a thousand meters ahead."
"Yeah. Uh." As soon as the scouts reported, the regiment commander was shot, and the gunshots then reached everyone's ears. The regiment commander had been hit by rubber bullets before, so he felt very familiar.
According to regulations, the person who was shot needs to withdraw from the battle, so the regiment commander fell down after "uh".
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" the soldier shouted.
"The regiment commander was 'dead', and the commander was replaced by the deputy regiment commander!"
"Watch! Watch!" the deputy commander shouted.
As soon as he finished calling, the deputy commander suddenly felt something pressing on his chest, it was a pocket watch! The deputy commander took out the pocket watch and looked at it. Fortunately, the shell of the pocket watch was hard enough!
On a big banyan tree 500 meters away, Li Liang, wearing a disguised uniform specially made by Qin Ge, saw in the scope that the hit deputy regiment commander did not fall down, and immediately scolded: "Damn this guy violated the rules and was still standing when he was shot!"
This is the leaves above Li Liang's head moving.
"Who?!" Li Liang immediately pulled out his pistol and turned over and aimed at the tree.
"You hit his pocket watch. It was more than 500 meters away and the steel core bullet was difficult to penetrate. He did not violate the regulations." A sound came from the top of the tree.
"Huh, Huangshan, when did you get to the tree? Hey, by the way, where is the Yellow River? Aren't you two brothers acting together? Why don't you see the Yellow River?" Li Liang put away his pistol.
"Bang" A gunshot came from the tree canopy in the upper left corner about 5 meters away from Li Liang.
"Where is there!" Huangshan's voice sounded.
"Damn! When did you two brothers arrive? I didn't notice at all!" Li Liang was scared and sweated. If he were on the battlefield, he would probably have died long ago, and even someone wouldn't know where to squat!
"Two minutes earlier than you." Huang He pulled the bolt and pulled out the empty shell, then loaded a new bullet into the back.
"Two...two...two minutes!" Li Liang swallowed.
"You are too bad at observing. You squat when you see a good pit, and you don't even have a reconnaissance. In fact, just a little attention can be paid to you to see the footprints left by our two brothers under the tree and on the trunks." The Yellow River Channel.
"Uh... I've been taught."
"In the future, you should pay attention to every tiny detail on the battlefield. A little bit of negligence on the real battlefield will kill you. Where did you hear the content of the principal's lecture?"
"Haha, I forgot this for a while!" Li Liang scratched his head awkwardly.
"Bang" Huang Shan fired a shot.
"Kill a battalion commander. Hum? You've been discovered, let's go." Huangshan jumped down from a 5-meter high, and Huanghe and Li Liang also jumped down. The three of them arched their bodies and rushed into the dense bushes and soon disappeared.
"On there!" A soldier pointed to the big banyan tree where Huangshan and others had just squatted.
"All the soldiers of the 42nd Battalion of the 17th Regiment obeyed the order and attacked!" Although the chief and deputy commander died, there were always people who were on the verge of the command and the command was not paralyzed.
