Chapter 645: Fight! Lost?
Yuanshan seemed not to understand what Weidong was saying, and his eyes were bigger than cow eggs.
"What? Shall we have a fight?"
Weidong then realized the cultural differences and slapped his mouth.
"That's wrong. It's not a fight between the two of us. It's a live-fire exercise between our two armies. You pick two battalions and I pick one battalion to fight. Do you understand?"
"What? We send out two battalions and you send out one? Wouldn't that be an unfair victory?"
"It doesn't matter. Our weapons and equipment are more advanced than yours, and we have more experience in warfare and have been training for longer than you, so it's not like we're taking advantage of you."
After hearing this, Yuanshan was no longer polite.
"Okay, then tomorrow!"
"Okay, let's start at midnight tonight. The two of us and Ye Zhonghua will be the referees. Don't worry, the soldiers of the Liberation Brigade were all trained by me, and I will never show favoritism!"
Yuanshan didn't have any worries about this. After all, they had been together for so long, and he still trusted Weidong quite a bit.
Moreover, Ye Zhonghua is also quite upright, so he has no objection to this panel of judges.
When they were in the mountains, Weidong called them:
"Yuanshan, it will start after midnight, don't say you're not ready then, okay?"
"Don't worry, the eagle on the grassland will never make excuses!"
Finally, in the early morning, the 1st Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Infantry Battalion selected by Yuanshan entered the position.
Yuanshan was still feeling proud. He chose to enter the position in the early morning, which would definitely catch the volunteers off guard.
At two o'clock in the morning, two battalions of the Liberation Brigade entered the position. It was a dark and windy day with a little moonlight.
bang.
The soldiers of the first battalion who entered the trench first heard crunching sounds under their feet the moment they jumped into the trench. They dug up the loose soil and found that it was a can with the word "bomb" written on it.
The People's Liberation Army's First Infantry Battalion announced that its combat death rate had reached 50%, and it had basically lost its combat effectiveness.
"Asshole! How could you plant a bomb in advance? I protest!"
Ye Zhonghua chuckled and took out a piece of paper.
"Brigade Commander Yuanshan! Look at this? Brigade Commander Weidong's volunteer army set out from the preset position at midnight, sneaked into your defensive position, and then laid mines!
Your men have just arrived at the trenches, and theirs have just left!"
Wei Dong, who was standing by, patted Yuan Shan on the shoulder and said:
"You are playing the role of the defenders in this exercise, and you will encounter minefields laid in advance. If you plan to attack Saida or West Wurt, you are more likely to encounter minefields on the road!"
Brigade Commander Yuanshan had nothing to say, after all, what Weidong said made sense.
"I admit this, keep fighting!"
"Okay, I'll stick with you till the end!"
Yuanshan ordered the 1st Infantry Battalion to withdraw half of its soldiers, and the rest entered the trenches.
In the dark night, the volunteer army's sniper quietly sneaked into the flank of the Liberation Brigade's position, and then continued to fire cold shots, "killing" the soldiers of the Liberation Brigade.
The Liberation Brigade's attention was attracted by the firepower from the flank. The commander on the scene, who was full of anger, actually ordered the troops to attack from the flank?
At this time, in the position right in front of the Liberation Brigade, countless black shadows were crawling forward.
Then countless clods of earth were thrown into the trenches.
The Liberation Brigade was once again judged to have lost more than half of its troops!
"Brigade Commander Yuanshan, are you still going to fight?"
Brigade Commander Yuanshan had a dark face and said nothing. What the hell is this? Two-thirds of the troops were killed before dawn.
Originally, they might have had the strength to fight because of their numerical advantage, but now that their only advantage was gone, they were still fighting? That would be courting death!
"No fight, I admit defeat!"
"Captain Yuanshan, this is just an exercise. At most, we will lose face and make a fool of ourselves. But if a real war breaks out, our soldiers will bleed and sacrifice their lives!
No scouts were sent out before entering the unfamiliar position, resulting in the soldiers collectively entering the minefield.
During the night defense, no minefields or observation posts were set up at the front line, which allowed the enemy to easily sneak in. Moreover, your commander was too eager for success and was lured to the side to pursue the so-called small group of enemies, ignoring the front defense.
Just tell me, which of these decisions was made by a trained officer?
It is better to make you blush and sweat today than to be scolded as a pig-headed brigade commander by the soldiers one day!"
Weidong's shameless call made Yuanshan blush. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into, he was so embarrassed.
"Brigade Commander Weidong, teach me!"
"You want to learn?"
"Want to learn!"
"That's going to be hard!"
"I can endure hardship!"
Wei Dong nodded. In fact, he did all this on purpose. His purpose was to dampen Yuanshan's fighting spirit and make him sit in the classroom obediently and listen carefully to the instructor's lectures.
"Next, an instructor of military command will come to teach you. The classes will be divided into two levels: brigade-level officers and company-level officers. You must have military physical training during the day, and you must learn command, tactics, and Chinese characters at night. Is that okay?"
"As long as it can improve the combat effectiveness of our liberation brigade, I will study hard even if it means blinding my eyes and exhausting my body!"
"Well done, the instructors will be here tomorrow. I hope you can hold on for three months. By then, you will have grown into true commanders!"
Wei Dong changed the subject and immediately talked about the expansion of the Liberation Brigade.
It would not be enough to capture Seda and West Worth with just these 4,000 troops, especially since they would have to defend them after they were occupied, which would consume even more manpower.
Therefore, according to Weidong's calculations, at least a division of troops is needed.
"Brigade Commander Yuanshan, the recruitment of personnel depends on your appeal, and the training and equipment will be left to our volunteer army. According to my idea, we need to form a cavalry regiment, two mechanized infantry regiments, plus an artillery battalion and a reconnaissance battalion."
Yuanshan was a little confused. He could understand the cavalry regiment. After all, they had three thousand war horses, enough to arm a cavalry regiment.
But wouldn't a so-called mechanized infantry regiment need cars? They didn't have any!
"Captain Wei, that car..."
"Haha, don't worry about that. We have fought the Japanese for so many years, so there will be no problem in seizing two regiments of their motor vehicles. Next, just recruit smart soldiers and we will be responsible for the training. We guarantee that you will have a group of qualified motor vehicle soldiers in three months!"
Yuanshan excitedly held Weidong's hand, wishing he could become sworn brothers with him right away and become their half-brothers.
However, Weidong declined. After all, Yuanshan was older than him, so he had to call him "big brother", which was a loss!
The matter of the Liberation Brigade came to an end, and Wang Meng was full of confidence. The results of the economic warfare did not appear so quickly, and by the time the Mobei authorities really found out, it would probably have been a fait accompli.
