Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "No matter how tightly the Qing army's camp is covered, it is impossible not to communicate with the outside world. There must be ordinary people who have entered the military camp. Have you asked the ordinary people to find out?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "It's strange to say this. There are almost no people in the counties around Hejianfu City. Our scouting troops have searched all the counties and found no trace of ordinary people!"

Lin Yuan said: "With strong walls and clear fields, it must be the Qing court who took the common people away!"

Xiao Yingwu said: "We checked the household registration book of Hejian Mansion and found that there are six county towns between the mansion city and the Qing army camp, with a total of more than 3 people. The Qing government has the power to get rid of so many people. ?"

Lin Yuan said: "It's really not difficult to take away more than 3 people. As long as they publicize our bad deeds, the people will be scared away by them. I really want to know how much food they have in their camp. For 10 people, two catties of grain per person would cost 20 catties a day, which is too much consumption.”

Xiao Yingwu said: "According to our opinion, they seem to want to farm."

Lin Yuan asked: "Garn fields? What do you mean?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "Our scouts found that many people come out of the camp every day to do farm work."

Lin Yuan frowned, and asked, "Farm work? Now that the sorghum is earing, it will be harvested in a few days after maturity. What farm work do they have?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "Our reconnaissance personnel found that a lot of wasteland near the camp has been turned into arable land. According to some experienced old people in the city, those lands were originally inferior land, and only beans can be grown on them. Something, they're supposed to be planting beans on it."

Lin Yuan smiled after listening to "Pu Chi", and said: "Growing beans? How much yield does beans have? Wouldn't 10 people starve to death just to eat beans? Forget it, let's go to their camp first. See, just beat them."

Lin Yuan and Xiao Yingwu went to the camp, and Xiao Yingwu dispatched a reconnaissance company to follow them. When the car drove for a while, he heard the sound of running water coming from the front, so he asked, "What is the camp of the Qing army?" Is it built on the back of a big river?"

Xiao Yingwu said: "Yes, there is a river in front of the camp, named Yahe, and August happens to be the wet season, so the river is more than 50 meters wide, and the deepest part is four or five meters. Because of this, our troops That’s why they didn’t lay down their camp.”

While talking, Lin Yuan and Xiao Yingwu came to the river, Lin Yuan saw that he was facing the Qing army camp, and his troops had also dug trenches, Lin Yuan and Xiao Yingwu entered an observation post, Lin Yuan raised his hand Looking at the opposite side through the binoculars, I saw that the barracks on the opposite side were built on a high slope and stretched for three kilometers on both sides. Outside the camp stood a chest-deep wall with holes in it. No heavy weapons such as machine guns were found on the wall.

Lin Yuan pointed to the parapet and asked, "Is that gun strong?"

Xiao Yingwu shook his head and said, "I don't know, we don't know the enemy's combat power, and we haven't sent reconnaissance troops over there yet."

Lin Yuan looked at a heavy machine gun mounted on one side of the position, so he said, "Use that big guy to shoot a shuttle of bullets at the wall to see if it can penetrate. Remember, use tracer bullets."

The machine gunner agreed and pulled the trigger. A string of bullets streaked green in the night sky, flew across the river, and hit the parapet. Lin Yuan raised his binoculars to look at them, then put them down and said, "My binoculars are too small. Are there any high multiples?"

Xiao Yingwu ordered someone to bring the large-caliber reconnaissance binoculars and put them in front of the position. Lin Yuan looked through the binoculars and saw a bunch of bullet holes on the wall, but the bullet holes were not empty. The breast wall was not pierced at all, so he said: "The enemy's breast wall is only thick, not hard. If we attack, put a bulldozer in front of our tank and push it directly, their wall will definitely not be able to stop it."

Xiao Yingwu said: "In fact, we don't need to be so troublesome. Our artillery battalion is equipped with a hundred 122mm howitzers. I think we can put them here. The camp opposite is only three kilometers wide. Our anti-personnel grenades can explode over the camp if the time is set and the fuze is set. The fragments can probably kill living targets within a radius of about 20 meters below the explosion point. Our artillery hits it back and forth a few times, and there are basically no living people inside. "

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Although this method is good, it can be used when we are fighting little devils. The big camp is full of our compatriots. If we go over, they will all surrender."

Xiao Yingwu said: "But how do we cross the river? There is only one small bridge on this river, which has been washed away by the flood. Now we have two options, one is to build a bridge, and the other is to submerge."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "The enemy's camp is too close to us. Whether it is building a bridge or diving, the enemy will definitely find it. Now there is only one way!"

Xiao Yingwu hurriedly asked: "What way?"

Lin Yuan said: "Use our artillery unit to cover the bridging unit. The 122 cannon can't be used, and the damage range is a bit large. What is the brigade-level artillery weapon?"

Xiao Yingwu replied: "100mm self-propelled assault gun and 75mm howitzer."

Lin Yuan said: "It's still a bit too big, so let's use battalion-level 81mm and 60mm mortars."

Xiao Yingwu said: "Okay, then I will arrange it."

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "When attacking, pay attention to let the psychological warfare unit follow, to destroy the morale of the opponent, deploy as soon as possible, and try to launch the attack as soon as possible."

The two returned to the camp, and someone came to report early the next morning: "The Qing army sent an envoy, and they are now outside the barracks." Lin Yuan immediately became happy when he heard this, and asked Liu Yufeng, the head of the guard, to bring him. After a long time, no one came in. Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say it was outside the barracks? Why didn't anyone come in yet?"

Liu Yufeng said helplessly: "Shuai Lin, he insists on changing clothes. We have no choice but to find an empty barracks to change clothes for him."

Lin Yuan asked helplessly, "What clothes can he change into?"

Liu Yufeng replied: "He came here on a small raft, and the official uniform on his body was wet. He insisted on changing into a new official uniform."

Lin Yuan thought helplessly: "Oh, what a shameless guy!" After a while, Lin Yuan saw the tent door open, and a middle-aged man in a brand-new official uniform walked in. Not only was his official uniform new, , and also applied oil on the scalp, smelling of oil, Lin Yuan asked with a smile: "Master Special Envoy, you change your clothes before seeing me, you think highly of me."

The special envoy snorted coldly, and said: "I am the special envoy of Hejian Daying Commander, a loyal subject to serve the emperor, how can I be disheveled when I see you and other rebels?"

Liu Yufeng and others in the tent glared angrily at this man when they saw his arrogance, but Lin Yuan didn't care, and asked with a smile, "Hejian Daying? What kind of institution is this? I was an official in the court before, why didn't I listen to him?" Ever had that name?"

The special envoy did not answer directly, but asked proudly: "Lin Ni, do you know the Jiangbei Camp established when the Qing Dynasty wiped out the Mao bandits?"
