Chapter 514: Decisive Battle?
A relieved smile appeared on the old man's face.
"Don't worry, I will never let you down."
Qin Yuan gave him a confident smile in return.
Qin Yuan stood up, gave the old man a military salute, and walked out of the room.
Outside, Green Snake and He Chenguang had been waiting for him for a long time, bickering and amusing as always.
"How is it? What did the old gentleman say to you?"
Green Snake asked impatiently.
"I didn't say anything, it was all nonsense."
Qin Yuan wrote lightly.
"What, you've been in there for so long, you must have said something important."
He Chenguang on the side didn't believe Qin Yuan's lies either.
"Why are you lying to me? Am I that kind of person?!"
Qin Yuan was a little unhappy.
"We are here to discuss tactics, not to talk about other irrelevant things."
"Don't forget, our comrade Geng Hu is still in their hands!"
Qin Yuan said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, both of them fell silent.
Qin Yuan was right. They had no time or reason to talk about other things now. Geng Hu was waiting for their rescue in a dark corner.
"Then have you thought of any solution?"
He Chenguang asked.
Qin Yuan nodded.
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't come to see you."
"We faced them head-on this time."
Qin Yuan replied in a deep voice.
"Just the front?"
"Are you not mistaken?! We have hundreds of people fighting against thousands of others?"
Green Snake looked in disbelief.
"Yes, do you have a fever? Or do you think it's too uncomfortable for us to be pressed and beaten like this?"
He Chenguang also looked at Qin Yuan doubtfully, his eyes full of confusion.
"Your views are too one-sided."
Qin Yuan smiled.
"You know, what we lack most now is not soldiers or combat effectiveness, but a hearty victory."
"I know you are worried about our combat effectiveness now, but what I want to say is that although we are fighting in an honest and fair manner, this does not prevent me from assigning another team to serve as an assault force."
Qin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said.
"Oh, you still want this method?"
He Chenguang said with a half-smile.
"Of course, as the saying goes, we are not afraid of deceit. We will not confront each other head-on like a stupid young man."
Qin Yuan said.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Several people knew that the next words were the key point.
"Well, after my consideration, I decided that you will be responsible for leading the commando team."
Qin Yuan glanced at Green Snake and said solemnly.
"I?"
Green Snake was a little surprised, because he had always acted with Qin Yuan before, but now he was asked to lead the team by himself, but he was not used to it.
However, he also understood that Qin Yuan must appear in the frontal team, otherwise the other party would definitely become suspicious.
"Isn't Captain He doing the same thing? Why not let him take on this important responsibility?"
Green Snake asked.
"Don't worry, you all have missions. I have other arrangements for him."
Qin Yuan smiled.
"What mission? So mysterious?"
Green Snake asked curiously.
Qin Yuan thought for a while, and there was no problem in assigning tasks here, so he said directly:
"I'm going to arrange for him to track down Geng Hu's whereabouts during the melee."
Qin Yuan said seriously.
"Well, your wishful thinking is really good."
"Although we may not have an advantage on the battlefield, on the silent battlefield, you are a talent second to none!"
Green Snake said with a smile.
Qin Yuan's face was stern and he had no time to pay attention to his praise.
There was not much time left for them. It was now two o'clock in the afternoon. He had to organize all the troops and horses within this half day and set off in the evening at the latest.
"I will lead the large force to the front to fight them. Green Snake will be responsible for leading the small team to disrupt the opponent's rear. He Chenguang will lead the second team to find Geng Hu's whereabouts. Do you understand the division of labor between them?"
"Go back immediately to reorganize the troops, and our operations will start on time in the early hours of the night."
Qin Yuan said.
"Wait a minute, how will our forces be distributed?"
He Chenguang asked quickly.
"Free allocation, you decide for yourself, I will not dictate your actions."
"We only have three hundred troops at most now. Each of our teams has fifty, and the rest will be given to Qin Yuan. How about that?"
He Chenguang suggested.
"Can."
Green Snake readily agreed.
"Then it's decided. Let's go back and prepare. We don't have much time left."
Qin Yuan said.
Afterwards, the three of them walked out of the room and returned to the camp.
Qin Yuan summoned all combat-effective soldiers to the front of the formation.
"Soldiers! I know you have been working extremely hard these days, but! I am the same as all of you! I am also exhausted physically and mentally!"
"Please be sure to keep your last breath, because the next battle is related to everyone's life and death!"
"Today, it is very likely that we will have the final battle with Xiao Yan!"
"We will be divided into three teams! I will lead the large force to attack the opponent's real army!"
"Captain He Chenguang and Qing Snake led two teams respectively to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's rear camp!"
"Do you think this tactic is okay?"
Qin Yuan asked the soldiers loudly.
Although he was the commander of the army, it was reasonable that only the army should obey his orders, and there was no need to ask the other party.
However, at this critical juncture, it was time to unite, and Qin Yuan did not need to follow the rules as before.
The soldiers below responded in unison without surprise:
"Obey the captain's arrangements and instructions!"
"Very good! Now, I am going to select 200 soldiers to go to the battlefield with me!"
"The remaining 100 soldiers will be assigned to Qingshe and He Chenguang respectively. Anyone who wants to go to the battlefield with me, just stand on the side!"
Qin Yuan called loudly.
"I am willing to follow Captain Qin Yuan!"
"I am willing too!"
"I will come too!"
Soon, Qin Yuan's side was slowly filled with logistics company soldiers like stacking wooden signs.
Until the end, everyone stood in Qin Yuan's camp, and there was not a single soldier left!
"You are too enthusiastic."
"What do Qingshe and He Chenguang think?"
"This is too embarrassing!"
"Everyone chooses to follow Qin Yuan! Qingshe and He Chenguang have no soldiers to lead!"
There were waves of chaotic discussions at the scene.
Qin Yuan also felt that this was a bit inappropriate, so he said to the soldiers following him:
"I know all of you want to follow me to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but! We must abide by the discipline!"
"Since I have issued the task this time, and you have agreed! Then, we can't ignore this rule!"
"So! We follow the first-come-first-served rule! The two hundred soldiers standing in the front! Move with me!"
In this way, it is fair and does not damage the dignity of the soldiers. It is a more reasonable solution.
"Okay! We listen to you!"
Although some of the soldiers who came late had no choice, they also obeyed Qin Yuan's suggestion.
Some people who came later returned to their original places consciously.
After that, Qingshe and He Chenguang each selected a group of soldiers and formed their own teams.
By nine o'clock in the evening, the logistics company's preparations had been basically completed.
Each team member prepared guns and ammunition, military rations and various auxiliary equipment.
The team of three hundred people was ready to go at any time.
Before leaving, Qin Yuan came to the old man's room again.
"Why, haven't you set off yet?"
The old man asked.
"Right away, isn't this just to say goodbye to you?"
Qin Yuan said with a smile.
"Look at what you said, it seems like there is no return."
The old man also laughed.
"Of course, just in case, this trip must be to say goodbye to you."
Qin Yuan's expression was very relaxed.
The old man smiled.
"Don't joke, I'm still waiting to go back with you to see my daughter, you promised me that you must take me back."
The old man's eyes showed a gleam of light.
Qin Yuan's face was a slightly helpless and miserable smile.
"Well, I promise you."
Then, the two stopped talking, and a few minutes later, Qin Yuan left the room.
Time passed in the blink of an eye and it was the early hours of the night.
It was time for them to set off.
The entire logistics company was ready.
"Everyone, set off!"
Qin Yuan stood at the front and gave an order.
Hundreds of people rushed out like a black whirlwind and groped forward in the darkness ahead.
The vanguard led by Qin Yuan rushed to the front. After several hours of reconnaissance, they had roughly grasped the opponent's position.
It was less than two kilometers away from their position.
At the same time.
In the camp of the opponent Xiaoyan's troops.
A soldier hurriedly ran into a large camp.
"Governor! The sixth, second, and fifth squads have all failed!"
Sitting in the middle was a strong middle-aged man.
It was Dong Zhejun.
At this time, his face was ashen, as if he had been kicked by a donkey, and he was very embarrassed.
He picked up the cup at hand and threw it to the ground with force.
"Get out of here!"
Dong Zhejun shouted.
The soldier hurriedly ran out of the tent on his knees.
Dong Zhejun certainly knew what happened to his troops!
The troops had not returned one day after the expected time!
This meant that there must have been an accident!
The soldier's answer just now confirmed his guess.
Dong Zhejun's heart was filled with anger again!
Logistics Company!
It has become his biggest thorn in the eye in this life!
It has defeated the power of several of his legions in a row!
This not only made him feel uneasy and angry, but also made Xiaoyan Organization lose face!
Although they lost only a small part of the troops, Di Daozhang, the captain of the sixth squadron, was his proud general!
Losing such a powerful general was a major loss for Dong Zhejun!
Thinking of this, tears even fell on Dong Zhejun's face.
Dong Zhejun wiped his tears and remained silent.
A man in black military uniform on the side spoke to comfort him:
"Governor, although we lost four troops at once, the other side was also affected to a certain extent. I believe that their losses were not small."
The man's voice was calm and there was a hint of coldness in his words, like a cruel character.
"Captain Jin, what do you think we should do?"
Dong Zhejun slowly raised his head and asked with a sad face.
The man named Captain Jin smiled slightly, then leaned close to Dong Zhejun's ear and whispered a few words to him.
Dong Zhejun's face immediately changed from a sad look to a joyful look.
Fifteen minutes later.
The logistics company led by Qin Yuan was on the way forward.
The group was marching forward solemnly and neatly, and unlike the previous secret march, this time they were marching forward with great fanfare and momentum.
The sound of their waving flags and shouting could be heard within a radius of one kilometer.
Although there were not many people, they did walk out with momentum.
And Xiaoyan had long been attracted by this arrogant logistics company.
"Sir! It's the logistics company! They are so arrogant this time!"
"They keep shouting that they want to kill us all!"
"This is really too much! This group of people! They beat up four of our squads! Now they are coming to our door!"
"They are really ignorant of life and death! We will let them see what hell is!"
After receiving the provocation from the soldiers of the logistics company, Xiaoyan's soldiers have long been thirsty and thirsty, and vowed to fight to the death with the other side.
"Sir! What do you mean?! Such an obvious provocation from them? Can we tolerate it?"
"Besides, our soldiers are dozens of times theirs! It's too unreasonable to be a turtle like this!"
The soldiers petitioned to fight to the death with the logistics company.
The short officer in charge was of course very clear about their psychology. He was also like them, full of endless resentment towards the logistics company, but he had no choice but to be in a low position. As the captain of a reconnaissance team at the outpost, he had no power to command the army and could only wait for orders from above.
"I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious."
He couldn't hold back his excitement and was already a little incoherent.
The soldiers were also very dissatisfied when they heard this.
But after all, they also knew that as soldiers, they must obey the orders of the troops. They could only beat their chests and stamp their feet in the same place, helpless.
Why didn't the higher-ups issue orders yet?
Because Dong Zhejun followed Captain Jin's advice.
Choose to wait for the opponent to tire.
Captain Jin suggested to him that since the other party's logistics company dared to come to them so impulsively for a decisive battle, they must be prepared. If they fight according to the other party's wishes, they will definitely not get any advantage.
Although Xiaoyan's troops are large in number and need a lot of living resources, they have a stable supply chain in the rear. The resources in the Baizhi Tower are inexhaustible and it only takes half a day to transport them here.
As long as the safety of the transportation channel is guaranteed, they can fight a war of attrition with the logistics company. At that time, they will definitely be the first to fail.
I have to say that Dong Zhejun's plan was very clever.
