Chapter 757 Tribal Aboriginals

Wu Qin tried his best to tell this experience in a very relaxed tone. However, as long as the observers think about the fact that this team went behind tens of thousands of enemy troops to conduct reconnaissance activities, it is not difficult to imagine that it was the first time they entered the battlefield.

How nervous would these newcomers be? After all, their opponents were not some native tribes with low combat effectiveness, but the regular South Vietnamese army who had defeated North Vietnam steadily on the frontal battlefield. Fortunately, they were led by a group of elites.

level of veterans, to the greatest extent avoid the various mistakes that these rookies may make during the execution of tasks, and get them on the right track in the initial stage. When the former rookies have grown up, they can now use the same

This method helps newcomers integrate into the role of soldiers as quickly as possible.

"General Qian said to us before that there is no other army in the world that can match our training level, and there is no other army that can have the weapons we are equipped with. We will always play the role of winner on the battlefield.

." Wu Qin's tone became serious: "I have been in the army for more than four years. I can assure you brothers that what General Qian said is true. From the day this army was established, there has never been anything like this.

Defeat! As long as you use the combat skills you usually train on the battlefield, no one can defeat you!"

Believe it or not, Wu Qin's story relieved the overly nervous mood of the recruits to some extent, so that their knuckles holding onto the rifles would not turn white due to excessive force. Although the camp entered a state of combat readiness, after passing

Nothing else has happened for so long. It is obvious that the natives in the mountains and forests did not intend to attack the camp directly, otherwise they would have heard the gunfire from the outer defense line. Since the expected war did not break out, the recruits slowly

The ground also relaxes the spirit.

However, the warning signal sent back by the perimeter guards was not a false alarm. After receiving the report, Qian Tiandun came to the defense line outside the camp and quickly used binoculars to confirm that there were indeed several groups of figures moving quickly in the nearby mountains and forests. The total number of people was estimated to be around

There were hundreds of people, including many warriors armed with bows, arrows and spears.

Qian Tiandun would not think that these people's activities in the nearby mountains and forests were hunting. There is no wild beast on the island of Taiwan that requires so many people to hunt together - the only wild beast on the island, black bears, live in mountainous areas with an altitude of more than a thousand meters.

, it is impossible for that thing to appear near the Haihan camp. The most reasonable explanation is that the indigenous people from the nearby mountain tribes have discovered the activities of the Haihan militia and were uneasy about their appearance, so they organized a group of

The troops arrived at the outskirts of the camp. It was not clear for the time being whether they were just planning to demonstrate or waiting for an opportunity to attack the camp.

Qian Tiandun had the two guides he had hired in Fengrong Village brought to him and asked them: "These guys are running around in the forest. What do you think their purpose is?"

"The villain thinks...these natives think that the adults' troops have invaded their territory, so they want to use this method to make the adults retreat." One of the guides responded.

"We stepped on the tail!" Qian Tiandun nodded and asked: "Then if we don't take the initiative to evacuate, what might they do next?"

"This... villain really doesn't know!" Both guides knelt on the ground, expressing their inability to answer Qian Tiandun's question.

In fact, Qian Tiandun did not necessarily need to get the answer from them, because there were only two possible situations: one was that the indigenous people took the initiative to attack and tried to drive away the Haihan militia by force; the other was that the indigenous people just stayed on the outside and watched and

Monitoring will not use force soon. Even in the latter case, it cannot completely eliminate the possibility of the other party using force. Therefore, the Haihan camp still needs to maintain a high enough vigilance to guard against sudden attacks by the other party.

Perhaps it was the Haihan camp's quick response and tight vigilance that made it difficult for the other side to make a move. After the two sides were in a silent stalemate for about two hours, a few natives finally walked out of the forest and spoke in unskilled Fujian dialect.

Shout loudly in the direction of the camp.

"They want to talk to us." Soon a soldier reported to Qian Tiandun.

"Okay, if they send out a few people, we will send out a few people." Qian Tiandun looked back at the two guides: "Which one of you can understand the language of these natives?"

The two of them knelt on the ground and neither responded immediately. Qian Tiandun said again: "Whoever is willing to come out to help, I will add another two taels of silver as wages!"

"I'm willing to go!" A bold person among them immediately said that he accepted the job. Qian Tiandun smiled slightly, and sure enough, as long as the price was right, there would be people willing to sacrifice their lives.

Qian Tiandun was in a high position and could not put himself in danger when negotiating such matters, so Gao Qiaonan did it for him. He took his guide and two guards with him and walked out from the camp gate in a swaggering manner.

The other party also left four people equally to participate in the subsequent negotiations. The negotiation did not last too long. Takahashi Minami and the other party only talked for a few minutes before it ended. The negotiation teams from both sides returned calmly.

In the camp.

"These natives asked us to leave." Gao Qiaonan reported the content of the negotiation to Qian Tiandun: "They asked us to withdraw at least ten miles to the west and promise not to set foot here again - it is said that this place is the home of several tribes in the surrounding areas.

the dividing point.”

Takahashi Minami said and gestured: "The boundary is drawn by these two water veins! To the southeast is where we see the sphere of influence of this tribe."

"Let us withdraw? Haha..." Qian Tiandun sneered without comment, and then asked the guide: "Do you know the population of the tribe they belong to?"

Both of them shook their heads, and one of them responded: "They will not allow the Han people to enter the mountains. We don't know how many people their tribe has. In short, it is more than Fengrong Village. The most they have ever been from

More than three hundred young men came to the mountains, and there are not that many men in Fengrong Village including the old, weak, sick and disabled."

Qian Tiandun then turned back to Gao Qiaonan and said, "Go on."

Takahashi Nandao: "Naturally, I don't want to accept this trick. I just tell them to get lost. If these mountain monkeys are bloody, they can just send troops to attack. I want to see what these guys are capable of!"

Qian Tiandun smiled and said: "You guys are really worried about the world being in chaos! Even if you don't agree, you still make provocations. Are you afraid that this war will not be fought?"

Takahashi Nan lowered his head and responded: "If we don't fight a dozen times, how can we attract the attention of the executive committee?"

"Stop thinking about these things for a day and focus more on training!" Qian Tiandun heard Gao Qiaonan's answer and had to give him a few words of praise.

As a senior military officer, Gao Qiaonan knew to some extent that the attitude of the Executive Committee on the future development direction of the Penghu base was still uncertain. Some senior figures believed that they should advance north as soon as possible and establish the next base near Hangzhou Bay.

People on the front lines generally believe that the foundation of the Penghu base should be consolidated first, and the Taiwan Island next to Penghu should be occupied as soon as possible. Even if the entire island cannot be occupied in a short time, at least some of them must be immigrated to occupy a territory first.

.

If the labor force imported to Hainan is mainly distributed for agricultural purposes, and the source of immigrants is concentrated in the north of the Ming Dynasty, then Taiwan's location is much more favorable than Hainan Island. Northern immigrants do not need to go to Hainan Island, which is at a lower latitude.

It can save a long and tiring journey, which not only improves the survival rate, but also saves a huge amount of freight. In addition, Taiwan Island, as a long-term development target, is far more valuable than small islands like Penghu.

, a large area of ​​unclaimed land can avoid land disputes during the development process and save extremely valuable time for travelers. Of course, there is also a commonplace reason, that is, we must try to drive out the people currently stationed in the land.

Only after driving away these competitors from the Western colonists on Taiwan Island can Haihan enjoy the fat meat of Taiwan Island in peace and contentment.

There are many reasons for occupying Taiwan first, but the Executive Committee may not listen to them. In fact, the military has certain intentions and wants to "help" the Executive Committee make this decision. Of course, this degree must be grasped very accurately, otherwise it will be easy

It will go in the wrong direction. The top military officials, including Qian Tiandun, are not willing to see this unhealthy political ecology emerge, because it will mean that Haihan's political system is heading in an extremely dangerous and uncontrollable direction. Therefore,

Qian Tiandun hoped that the executive committee would focus on the development of Taiwan Island in the most peaceful way possible - for example, a small-scale friction would break out with the indigenous people on the island.

Once a war breaks out, in principle, the Executive Committee will not order the militia army to adopt a concessionary attitude in response, because public opinion will never allow the invincible militia army to show any signs of weakness. No matter who the opponent is, the people

The only result I want to see is that the militia army once again wins a complete victory without any surprise, opening up territory for the Haihan ethnic group. Any delay will be regarded as heresy, and even a pacifist like Gu Kai can only

Even if he expressed his opposition before the military operation was implemented, he would not foolishly continue to show his anti-war attitude after the war started.

Qian Tiandun arranged for the recruits' outdoor survival training to be carried out on the island of Taiwan, which was more or less a reasonable excuse for possible frictions and conflicts. In this way, when reporting the situation to the Executive Committee afterwards, the military's plans would be clear.

Not to be too explicit. Of course, even with a premeditated plan, Qian Tiandun could not control the changes in the external environment. Whether there would be friction with the indigenous tribes was a situation that he could not determine before setting foot on Taiwan Island.

And Gao Qiaonan also understood the way in between, so he naturally looked for opportunities to help his boss relieve his worries. Although he was reprimanded by Qian Tiandun, of course Gao Qiaonan also noticed that Qian Tiandun did not judge his actions.

No. In other words, no matter what Gao Qiaonan's starting point was, Qian Tiandun had already affirmed his tough attitude in the negotiations with the indigenous people.

"Will these mountain monkeys attack us?"

When Takahashi Nan returned to patrol the defense line, some junior officers also asked him about the possibility of an armed conflict. When Takahashi Nan heard such questions, he grinned: "Can't wait? I haven't taken action in months.

,Are you itching terribly?"

These veterans of the special operations forces don't care what the big shots on the executive committee think. They only need to know three things: first, once they enter a state of war, they can get double military pay; second, once they enter a state of war,

The troops participating in the war must be able to achieve military merit; thirdly, if they achieve enough military merit, they can get the opportunity to be promoted, thereby getting greater command power and more generous military pay. And these three things have the same premise, then

Just fighting.

After the Battle of Penghu in May, the special operations forces have been in a state of rest and recuperation. For the special operations forces who have already regarded the execution of combat missions as a daily routine, the five-month recuperation period has allowed them to accumulate enough desire to fight.

.Although the mission order issued by Qian Tiandun when setting off was to "inspect the unfamiliar environment and assist the recruit company in field march training," anyone with a flexible mind can almost guess that the purpose of this operation is not that simple. Even Qian Tiandun

Atsushi did not dare to fight freely because he brought a bunch of new recruits with him, but this did not rule out the possibility of veterans taking action to improve their record when necessary.

However, the patience of the indigenous people is obviously better than that of the Haihan militia. It has been more than an hour since the negotiation ended, and there is still no big movement in the mountains and forests opposite. It seems that this group of people has really accepted Gao Qiaonan's proposal and behaved obediently.

Go back to your own village. Qian Tiandun is also a little unsure about this. Is this tribe so aware of current affairs that Gao Qiaonan actually gave in after just a few words?

It was not until noon that strange noises began to be heard in the forest. It sounded like many people were collectively chanting some kind of spell, and from time to time there were some music beats mixed in. After Qian Tiandun asked the guide,

I know that this is probably some kind of prayer or worship ceremony performed by the indigenous people. As for whether its purpose is to curse the invaders or to pray for the warriors who are about to go into battle, it is unknown. In short, it is definitely not praying for the world.

Peace.

This ceremony lasted longer than Haihan expected. It lasted for more than half an hour and there was still no sign of ending. Instead, bursts of smoke emerged from the forest. The guide said that it was probably lit by the wizards in the tribe.

A mixture of certain medicinal materials and spices is used to perform rituals of unknown purpose.

"It would be interesting if these mountain monkeys caused a mountain fire, and they would roast them all!" After Gao Qiaonan learned the news, he couldn't help but joke with his soldiers. Anyway, Haihan's station is

If a wildfire really breaks out near the water, your family will definitely not be the unlucky one.
