Chapter 81 Reinforcement Mou Ping
The defenders in the city and those villagers who are mobilized from various villages to help fight. Their combat effectiveness is certainly not as good as these blood-licking rebels. Once the wall is bombed, the rebels will definitely concentrate their forces to rush in from this gap. At that time, with the Shandong soldiers in the city and those rural brave regiments will never be stopped. Rebels.
In this way, Mouping County will be completely finished. After the rebels enter the city, they will definitely slaughter the city and make life in the city. In that case, it is useless to say anything.
After adopting this method, the defenders in the city temporarily stabilized the situation, defended the city wall, and fought repeatedly with the rebels.
In two days, the rebels launched several fierce attacks, and at least they were barely blocked by the defenders, but the rebels attacked the wall twice. Fortunately, Zhao Zhizhou sent reinforcements in time to repel the rebels.
But everyone knows that they won't last long. If no reinforcements come, they will no longer be able to hold on to this wall, and the south gate area will definitely be conquered by the rebels.
The rebels also realized this. Almost all the elite were concentrated outside the south gate, and many people were forcibly recruited to serve them as human shields. In addition, they also drove away refugees and got a large amount of firewood and wood to prepare for the last strong attack and capture Mouping County in one fell swoop.
Now, Zhao Zhizhou is really anxious. Although he has also asked Li San to mobilize some soldiers from Xishan Village to help fight here in the past two days, Li San only sent 50 people, that is, a platoon of troops, to come here to defend, which is far from being far from enough.
So seeing the crisis, Zhao Zhizhou quickly sent someone to invite Li San. At least, Li San must transfer more Xishan village soldiers to the south gate to cooperate with him.
Li San sent people to sneak back to Xishan Village overnight and asked Liu Di and Wu Shengtian how to respond to Zhao Zhizhou's request. At this time, it happened to be the night before Zhang Tao rebelled and returned to Mouping County.
Upon learning of Li San's news, Wu Shengtian discussed with Liu differently overnight. If according to Wu Shengtian's intention, Mouping County could not be broken and had nothing to do with their sea wolves. On the contrary, the instructions given by the headquarters did not require them to cooperate with the defense of Mouping County, and even vaguely, they were happy to see Denglai. More messy.
However, LiuDi has a different view on this. Although the top peak of the headquarters did not ask them to guard Mouping County, whether Mouping County is safe or not is still involved in the safety of their Xishan Village.
Once Mouping County is destroyed, the rebels can free up their hands and attack Xishan Village. Although they are not very afraid, once Mouping County is destroyed, the rebels may come a lot, which becomes a protracted war.
The task given to them by the headquarters is to collect refugees. After the beginning of spring, a large number of them are transferred to the south. Once they are surrounded by the rebels for a long time, they can't do this.
So Mouping County, in Liu's view, is necessary to help them. Another point is the relationship between them and Zhao Zhizhou, such as Ninghai officials.
At present, after Liu came here, it can be said that they have established a very deep relationship with these people. If Zhao Zhizhou will commit suicide after the city is broken, others may not be able to save it. Even if the rebels are pacified in the future, then they still need to change a group of new officials. Come here.
At present, Liu is not easy to cultivate these officials. Once he changes people, he will have to start all over again. This is not only a matter of money, but also involves energy and time, and there may be a lot of other uncertainties. .
What's more, during this period, the noise they made here is not small. It's hard to guarantee that some people will not see that their origin is unknown, and there are other plans, so it's better not to change people. In this way, everyone is familiar. This time, he has helped Ninghaizhou a lot. At that time, they can act here and be smoother. Some local officials will also give the green light to them. At least they can turn a blind eye to their actions and everyone will be safe.
Considering this layer, LiuDi believes that it is better to help this favor, not only to help, but also to send Buddha to heaven and completely sell an adult to the government here.
The two argued fiercely for about an hour and a half before they made up their minds. Wu Shengtian, as the military chief, had to listen to Liu's different opinions on other matters. Although this time it involved military operations, it also involved many other matters, so in the end, Wu Shengtian had to make concessions.
In the end, the two of them agreed to transfer three more infantry platoons from Xishan Village and Tuweizi to reinforce Mouping County, and do it overnight.
Otherwise, it may be difficult for the more than 100 people they sent during the day to cross the blockade of the rebels and break into Mouping County. Maybe more than 100 people may be surrounded by a large number of rebels outside the city and eaten by them.
So if you want to reinforce Mouping County, you can only set out before midnight, so as to break through the rebel blockade and enter the north gate before dawn.
Otherwise, this reinforcement operation may be a suicide charge.
After the policy was decided, Wu Shengtian immediately went down and began to arrange, pulling out a marine platoon from the earth enclosure, and two infantry platoons, each carrying an excess amount of ammunition. In addition to his own use, he also added some ammunition to Li San's side.
In addition to these, they were also given two snow ploughs, two horses, loaded with some shells of ammunition, and some rifle ammunition, and sent them into the city. If there are casualties when breaking through the blockade along the way, they can also use the snow plow to take the injured away on the snow plow, so as not to leave the wounded. On the battlefield.
After they arranged and gathered the personnel, it was already midnight. If they didn't leave, it would be difficult for them to get to the city before dawn.
So Wu Shengtian and Liu Di sent these reinforcements out of Xishan Village in person and solemnly said something about them. These people did not light a fire, but rushed to the north gate of Mouping County more than ten miles away with the faint moonlight above their heads.
The temperature at night is extremely low, and it makes people feel choking when taking a breath, but under the leadership of a platoon leader, these people still separated and quickly headed for the target.
Each of them is tied with some straw ropes on the cotton boots under their feet, which can prevent slipping and throw off the boots when they don't run. If there are no boots in this weather, their feet will definitely get seriously frostbite, so it is necessary to do so.
In addition, in order to reduce the load, these people did not wear armor except for the necessary ammunition and guns, so as to ensure that they have enough physical strength and quickly run for ten miles in a short time, but everyone sent a large piece of white cloth and wore it. On top, wrap your whole body and stand in the snow. Under the faint moonlight, you can't see their bodies a little farther away, which provides them with a good cover. Generally speaking, as long as they don't go face to face, even if there is torch lighting at night, I'm afraid it's not easy for ordinary people not to walk to them. Discover their bodies.
Marching on the ice and snow terrain at night consumes a lot of physical strength. Before leaving, these people drank a large bowl of temporarily boiled broth for them, adding a lot of ginger and sea wolf's unique chili noodles, which made them replenish enough heat, so when they set out, everyone was hot and felt very comfortable. .
No. 150, stepping on the thin snow and silently under the leadership of the officers, creaked with a low footsteps. No one spoke in the team. Everyone stared at the people in front of them and marched forward step by step.
Ten miles away, it takes an hour to walk in time, not to mention it is even more difficult to walk at night, even without lighting the lantern.
Many people will slip or trip if they don't pay attention, but no one exclaims, no one screams. Even if they fall hard, they will gritt their teeth and are pulled up by their companions and silently continue to move forward.
Under such circumstances, the team of more than 100 people walked outside Mouping County in less than an hour. From afar, it was clear that the gate tower of Muping County and the lantern torches on the city wall could be clearly seen.
But the people walking in front suddenly raised their hands and stopped the soldiers who followed. All of them immediately knelt on one knee and waited for the officer's instructions.
About three or four hundred meters in front of them, there were some thick tents, and some rebels wandered near the tents. These people were night posts left behind by the rebels, guarding the people in the city to escape.
However, relatively speaking, the defense of Beiguan is relatively weak, because the main forces are now concentrated in the south gate area and are waiting for dawn to launch the final attack on Mouping County, so the rebels are also relatively relaxed. In their opinion, although someone may sneak out of the city at night, the ice and snow Even if they don't run far, where can they go?
Now the surroundings are controlled by the rebels, and the rebels are everywhere. As long as the people who escape sporadically after dawn, they will soon be found by the rebels at night, and it will still be difficult to escape death.
Therefore, the rebels are relatively lax at night, which is also the reason why Li Sanneng sent people to sneak back to Xishan Village as soon as it gets dark. One or two people, be careful, it is easy to cross the rebel blockade, but if a brigade of more than 100 people want to cross the blockade of the rebels in this way and enter and exit Mouping County, It's difficult.
