Mengshan Army

When Long Qian returned to the mountain, he first went to the headquarters of Guangming Temple. The staff member Lan Xinzhi happened to be out, and saw Long Qian at a glance, and said pleasantly, "The commander is back﹍﹍"

"I'm back. Is it good on the mountain?"

"You don't know yet, do you? We fought a war!" Lan Xinzhi turned around and shouted, "Everyone, come quickly, the commander is back."

Zhou Yi, Ning Shijun, Deng Qinghua and others greeted them one after another.The other side is where the logistics team is. Song Jinguo and others also came out to greet Long Qian.

"What's going on? Who did you fight with?" Long Qian asked anxiously.

"Haha, don't worry, Commander, we won a big victory!" Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Lu Sanmazi wants to take advantage of us, so let us do it for him. Just captured more than 100 prisoners!"

"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Long Qian asked urgently.

The thing is like this, there has always been a group of thieves in the south of Mengyin. The leader's surname is Lu and his nickname is Lu Sanmazi. The number of them is not too many, it is estimated that there are 200 people.Sun Deming solicited several times, but Lu Sanmazi did not respond.At the beginning of the year, Cao Kun's brigade entered and suppressed Mengshan, scaring away Lu Sanmazi's troops.Lu Sanmazi's men and horses wandered outside for several months and returned to their old nest again. When they heard that Sun Dewang and others were all finished, they wanted to occupy the steep Mengshan Mountain.After several inquiries, I heard that there are still a few people from Mengshan Village on the mountain. Lu Sanmazi thought that there were many people, so he made up his mind to make a fool of himself.But their movement was discovered by Chi Chunxian's cavalry, and the news came back in time.Because Long Qian's whereabouts could not be found, several leaders on the mountain held a meeting under the auspices of Zhou Yi to study countermeasures. Even sticking to Mengshan, the main force moved quietly to ambush outside the mountain. Lu Sanmazi's men and horses went up the mountain from the east, and were trapped in the Wuzhang pine, unable to advance. More than a dozen people died, and at least twice as many were injured. .Lu Sanmazi saw that Mengshanzhai was not easy to eat, so he withdrew his troops in desperation. A group of bandits cursed and carried their wounded numbers to the southeast of Mengyin. The four companies fired fiercely from the mountains on both sides, and Lu Sanmazi's team suddenly fell into chaos.The first round of accurate shooting by Mr. Xu's sharpshooter team shot several thieves leaders off their horses. Among them was the big leader Lu Sanmazi. Lu Sanmazi, who was shot in the head, struggled for a while and died. Now, when the ambushes came out at Zhou Yi's order, the bandits crowded on the valley road immediately collapsed.

The entire battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and no one in Lu Sanmazi's team slipped through the net. Excluding those who were killed, more than 140 people were captured alive, more than [-] guns were surrendered, more than [-] rounds of bullets were handed over, and a large number of cold weapons were also collected.

During the whole battle, the Mengshan Army killed five people and injured 12 people, three of whom were seriously injured.Including the casualties of Feng Guozhu's Fourth Company's attack in Wuzhangsong.

Compared with the results obtained, the casualties paid are really insignificant.

"It was a good fight." Long Qian praised, "Deputy Commander Zhou learned a lot from a siege. He suffered a loss there at the beginning, and now he got it back with Lu Sanmao. Okay, very good. Where are the prisoners? "

"They're all locked up in Dongzhai, and most of them are going to join the gang. I think you have to come back to decide on this matter." Zhou Yi said with a smile, "This group of people have nothing to do and eat for free. Lao Song has complained to me many times, and food is scarce. Nah."

"Okay, welcome. Most of these captives must be born in hardships, similar to the predecessor of our Mengshan Army. After training, they will be good soldiers." Long Qian said with a smile, "Han Xin leads troops, the more the better, how can there be too many soldiers? But , This time no new company will be established. When this operation is over, those who are willing to join the group will be assigned to the official company. Each company must wear off the soldier's spirit on them! Anyone who smokes opium is not allowed. "

"Ah, the commander is ready to go down the mountain to fight." Zhou Yi said happily.

The whole mountain was holding back their energy to go down the mountain to fight, but Long Qian would rather practice for another three months before taking action.But the conditions are no longer allowed.

"Yeah, the target is wary of us, and there's not much food on the mountain."

"This time I ransacked Lu Sanmazi's lair, but found some food, not much."

Long Qian had already guessed the result, thieves were thieves, if they had money and food in hand, they would have much less desire to go out to plunder. Lu Sanmazi dared to go to Mount Meng to find his own bad luck, which meant that their lives were not easy.

"All the captured weapons were distributed to the Fifth Company," Zhou Yi said.

"Well, yes. Tell me, are there any shortcomings in this battle?" Long Qian turned his attention to the five company commanders and the staff members.When Wang Mingyuan and others heard that Long Qian was back, they all ran over.

Wang Mingyuan scratched his head, "Well, we really discussed it together. This battle, everything went smoothly, and almost all went according to the process designed by Shi Jun and the others. Especially the first, second, third, fifth and fifth companies, especially the fifth Lian, it was not established for a long time. It went around the mountain and lay in ambush for more than a day. No one violated the military order. Lu Sanmazi didn't find out that more than [-] people were ambushing under his nose until his death. Dare to imagine!"

"Well, this is worthy of recognition." Long Qian nodded.I thought to myself, after strict queue training, the enhancement of discipline is expected.However, Lu Shan's Wulian is worthy of praise.Well, Zhou Yi left Feng Guozhu's fourth company to stick to the old camp of Mengshan, which is very appropriate.

"To say it's not enough, the first thing is that our people's shooting accuracy is still poor. Thanks to Mr. Xu's prestige of the sharpshooter team, Lu Sanmazi was killed in the first round, otherwise more people would die if we rushed down. The second The second is that the rhythm of the charge is inconsistent. The first company has already entered the crowd, and the third company is still on the hillside. It is not that the third company is slow, but the terrain is restricted. We ignored this point. It made the opinion of the boss of Feng Lian." Ning Ning Shi Jun laughed.

"That's right, we rushed down, and they took all the prisoners." Feng Lun snorted.

"The other thing is that Lu Shan's fifth company fought well. They broke through Lu Sanmazi's pawns in the middle, and they moved very fiercely." Zhou Yi added.

"That's right, you need to be good at summing up. After every battle, you have to sum up, especially mistakes. Mistakes are experience. No one dares to say that you won't lose a battle. Sometimes defeat is more meaningful than victory." Long Qian smiled, "This shows that The advance work of the staff group and the reconnaissance team has not been done in detail."

"Yes, we must pay attention in the future." Ning Shijun accepted the criticism with an open mind.

"Is there any violation of military orders?"

"Basically not, only," Zhou Yi stopped talking here.

"Say it, don't hide it."

"Someone from the fifth company picked and killed a prisoner who put down his weapon."

"This won't work. The military regulations clearly stipulate that prisoners are not allowed to be tortured and killed. How to deal with this matter?" Long Qian fixed his eyes on Lu Shan.

"One day in confinement." Lu Shan said weakly.

"How are the military regulations stipulated?"

"Beat with forty army sticks until shot. Commander, this decision has been approved by the military court!" Lu Shan shouted.

"Oh? Cao Minzhong and the others agree to deal with this?"

"Yes."

"Commander, the matter was indeed reported to the Military Court. Cao Minzhong and the other three agreed that the battle had not yet ended. The situation encountered by the soldier of the Fifth Company could not be applied to the simple killing of prisoners of war. It's easy to get excited on a battlefield that intersects." Zhou Yi explained.

"Very well, since I have passed the Military Law Office, I have no right to overturn its decision." Long Qian's eyes softened, "Lu Shan, I want you to clarify a truth. From now on, most of our Mengshan Army's soldiers will come from our opponents. Now We don’t have a suitable base area yet, and even if we do, we can’t capture all the people into the army, right? Who will farm the land and who will do the work? Therefore, we must observe the discipline of the captives and try to convert them. Hey, your fifth company is The prisoner company, isn’t it our soldier now?”

"Yes, he has been locked up tightly according to the regulations. The battlefield was chaotic at that time, and the murderous intentions were all together, and he couldn't control it."

"As the company commander, you must control the entire company. You can't just make excuses! You must be praised for your bravery and discipline, and you must be praised publicly. This time, each company will select three brave officers and soldiers, at least two of whom are Ordinary soldiers, record military exploits. Rewards will be cashed out every six months. How to award and what to award, we will calculate in detail."

"Commander, if Lu Sanmazi's group is digested, each of our companies will have almost a hundred people." Zhou Yi changed the subject.

"Well, the army must be enriched. The old army must be enriched, and it must be kept at full strength at all times. Has the battlefield been thoroughly cleaned? Have you discarded anything?" Long Qian did not want to pursue this matter any longer. It is also difficult to completely eradicate.But Long Qian believed in a truth, as the leader of an army, he must get the principles right, and if he starts to deviate from himself, the following is destined to be a mess.

"No, we have cleaned everything carefully, including Lu Sanmazi's old lair, and wiped out everything. Nothing was left behind. This time we captured more than [-] war horses. Lu Sanmazi didn't have many people, but there were good horses. By the way, Commander, you and Jiang Yun have been walking for many days, have you confirmed the target? Did you buy the horse you rode back?" Song Jinguo answered.

"Ah, horses are not easy to buy. I'm afraid you can't buy them if you have money. They are gifts from friends. I will inform everyone about the situation outside the mountain at the meeting. Deputy Commander Zhou, did the team relax because of the victory? "

"It's okay. Everything is normal. We all look forward to the commander's return. As soon as the commander returns, we can go out of the mountain." Zhou Yi laughed.

Everyone held their breath and wanted to fight out. When they heard Zhou Yi's words, they all pricked up their ears.

"That's right. This time, Jiang Yun and I went out for ten days, just to confirm whether the goal of Zhengjiazhuang is worth fighting. It's worth it after seeing it on the spot! The information provided by Erhu is accurate. We not only want to open Zhengjiazhuang, but also We must take down Bai Wei and Chen Jiaya together!" Long Qian looked at his backbones one by one with piercing eyes, "However, we have to study carefully how to fight. You discuss it first, and I will go and see the wounded. "
