Chapter 456 Small Patrol Team
Although this meeting was held in a hurry, everyone knew that it was like a pre-war mobilization. Li Shaoyi had already informed the heads of various departments that this time was different from before. We might really have to fight on two fronts, and everyone had to be mentally prepared.
In other words, there is no such thing as front and rear. Everyone may face war immediately. Even if you are in a training camp in the rear, our current Air Force can immediately transport you to the front line, which was unimaginable in the past.
More than 120 transport planes are ready and can transport nearly 1,600 soldiers and their weapons and equipment to airports at any time. Of course, parachute landing is not an option, after all, they have not received training in this area.
This kind of delivery capability is nothing in the 21st century, and many countries can do it. But in today's era, there are probably no more than three countries that can do it.
Saiyinshan is four hundred miles southwest of the country.
The night on the grassland is like a peaceful night, and the surroundings are eerily quiet. Many wild horses live in the leeward area, looking vigilantly at the yurts in the distance. Local herdsmen live in them, and there is still a sense of vigilance between animals and humans.
This is the Tidak tribe, and also the territory of Prince Kangying.
A few days ago, Sukhbaru sent someone to inform us that everyone should submit to the Han regime in the south. From that moment on, we have nothing to do with Prince Bashan's new Xiongnu.
Originally, no one took it seriously. After all, with the coming and going of people over the years, many people were used to it. But this time was different from usual. An army had actually arrived, and some people were stationed in the tribe.
The last time the Han army came was probably during the Beiyang government period. At that time, there was turmoil in Russia, and the foreign Huns had no choice but to go back.
However, when the war between domestic warlords began, the Outer Xiongnu chose to rebel again, and the troops stationed in the Outer Xiongnu could only withdraw in a hurry.
Is it going to happen again now?
The Tidak tribe is a small tribe with only more than 200 people in the entire tribe, including more than 40 young and middle-aged people, and the rest are women, the elderly and children. Today they welcomed twelve Han soldiers.
Fortunately, five of them are from the Xiongnu tribe, but they are all from the Xiongnu tribe south of the border, so they are also one family. There is not much difficulty in communicating with everyone. In the future, they will be responsible for the public security of several surrounding tribes. If there is anything, you can go to them. The squad leader is Zhang Jun and the deputy squad leader is Long Deltai.
After an afternoon of rest, Zhang Jun and his brothers regained their spirits and began to train one by one around the yurt. The Huns in the distance also gathered around to watch them, and some bold Hun girls even cheered for them.
After completing the simple tactical movements, the brothers felt that they had completed their warm-up and were about to get on their horses to conduct routine patrols around them. This was what they had been doing for the past two days, and the herdsmen were used to it.
"Today we will separate. I will go east and you will go west. You must return before sunset."
Zhang Jun began to assign tasks. Normally, there should be two infantry squads stationed here, but the other one was still on the way, so they could only complete the tasks of both squads first.
"Don't worry, squad leader, I know how to use this thing."
Long Deltai said in a buzzing voice that this guy was originally a serf. After the 72nd Division entered Chahar, this guy joined the team. Because of his outstanding performance, he became the deputy squad leader.
Zhang Jun smiled and nodded. It was really difficult to teach this guy how to use the shoulder communicator.
Although each patrol team only had six people, they were quite impressive. Three of them rode in jeeps, three rode war horses, and they advanced in battle formation.
Just as the two jeeps were about to set off, the sound of horse hooves came from the north, and the sound seemed quite urgent.
"It's Uncle Tidak. He's injured."
Longdeltai could see clearly that he was the leader of this tribe. After they arrived, the other party was not very enthusiastic towards them, but they had never made things difficult for them and were considered to be well-behaved.
"Hurry... people are coming from the north... those Rakshasas... my son and a few other herdsmen..."
Tidak was shot in the abdomen and ran back with all his might.
"Medic."
Zhang Jun shouted, and a young man rushed out of the tent, quickly took out the medical kit and began to provide simple treatment.
"Uncle Tidak and a few young men from the tribe went to the north to graze their cattle this morning. They should be only a few dozen miles away from us."
Longdeltai remembered what happened in the morning. He even went over to ask about it. Zhang Jun had told him that if he saw a large group of people coming in and out, it would be best to register them. After all, the grassland was so huge.
"One hundred and fifty meters to the left and one to the right, proceeding north in a reconnaissance manner."
Other people in the tribe also came over. Seeing that the leader was so seriously injured, many people were scared. After the medical soldiers finished bandaging the wound, they immediately asked their superiors for help, as they could not perform the bullet removal surgery here.
"Wait...wait a minute..."
Seeing these people about to leave, Tidak gritted his teeth and waved his hand.
"There are so many people here, don't go and die..."
Although he was worried about his son's safety, he also knew that it would be useless if such a small number of people went there.
"It's our duty to understand the situation. I've already asked my superiors to request assistance, and someone will be here to support us soon."
Zhang Jun patted Uncle Tidak on the shoulder, wanting to ask for some more detailed information, but who knew that he fainted at this moment.
"The father and son are quite capable. Although they use muskets, their marksmanship is very accurate. If we don't have enough people, we won't be able to capture them."
Longdeltai knew what Zhang Jun was thinking and quickly told him everything he knew.
The people who go out to graze in the tribe are generally the most capable in the entire tribe. Now only the uncle is injured and has returned on his own. If the rest of them encounter the Russians, the best outcome is to be captured, and the worst outcome...
"Have you contacted the company commander?"
Zhang Jun looked at the communicator.
"Reporting to the squad leader, the company commander told us to be careful in our reconnaissance and not to engage in direct confrontation with the enemy. He and his men will be here soon, but the company commander is sixty miles away and is helping us call for air support."
The signalman said with a bitter face that everything on the grassland was good except that it was too large.
"Let's stick to what we said just now, one on each side, 150 meters apart..."
Zhang Jun quickly gave the order. Time is money now. Let's see what's coming from the north.
