Zhang Yiping glanced at his guard company behind him, riding them for more than two hundred times. They were all excited and didn’t feel afraid at all.
Although the guard company rides horses, they are not cavalry, but their marksmanship is not comparable to that of untrained cavalry. More than 200 people asked for horses and put up machine guns, and more than 1,000 cavalry could not stand them.
Zhang Yiping a wave of his hand with the guard company galloped past.
The team walked along the road through a dense forest and entered another world. This is a green plain. As far as the eye can see, there is a green grassland. Occasionally, there are milky white, tender yellow, light cyan and pale pinkish purple flowers everywhere.
Outside the forest is a large grassland, and thousands of cavalry are galloping. From their covered helmets and their yellow faces and black eyes, they know that they are from China. In front of these cavalry, hundreds of American soldiers are trying to run into the forest, while the cavalry is chasing behind. From time to time, a gun is fired to knock down the American soldiers in front and trample on horseshoes.
Hundreds of American soldiers were killed before they came to the edge of the forest, and their bodies were crushed into mud and disappeared into grass by chaotic horseshoes.
When a cavalry leader saw Zhang Yiping galloping towards him, Zhang Yiping saw at a glance that this man was his former personal bodyguard and now he is the reconnaissance battalion commander of the 11th Division-Fan Dawei.
Fan Dawei came running with his horse and shouted, "Is that you, commander in chief? I miss you so much!"
Fan Dawei deliberately showed off his horsemanship in front of Zhang Yiping and ran a few paces in front of Zhang Yiping. Suddenly, when he pulled the reins, the horse stood up, kicked his front hoofs a few times, and then stepped heavily on the ground, and the horse stopped.
Zhang Yiping did not applaud but asked, "When did you get so many horses, Fan Dawei?"
"This is, of course, the capture of more than 1,000 people from the reconnaissance battalion of our 11th Division. Do you know that our 11th Division has made a fortune? There are not only horses, but also many cannons, trucks, tanks, even gold and cash. Beauty has everything!"
"Gold is money beauty? Do you have my share? " Zhang Yiping asked.
"Of course, you are the honorary teacher of the 11th Division! How did you get less? "
"When did this proud tiger turn me into an honorary teacher? He wants to turn the sky upside down! " Zhang Yiping said angrily, "You tell him to come to my command tomorrow to report that I want to settle accounts with him!"
Zhang Yiping galloped quickly and soon came to the front of a small town, which was only 40 kilometers away from Orleans, where he had chosen in advance to command the headquarters of the Battle of Orleans.
This is a beautiful and quaint French town located in a green plain. A clear river is like a green ribbon. The green plain is jumping in the distance and flows around the town. Then it turns a corner. The gentle waves are like a gentle woman holding the whole town tightly in her arms. Groups of ducks and pigeons fly around the river.
There is a rare hill on the beautiful riverside outside the town. At the top of the hill, there is a well-preserved and small-scale medieval castle. The whole castle is submerged in towering trees, so it looks inconspicuous in the distance, but it is somewhat majestic when you look closer.
In front of the castle are long mossy stone steps, along which the tall and majestic buildings are slowly squeezing towards you like cliffs.
You can see the whole town on the steps, and you can overlook the whole plain when you look up.
Zhang Yiping has just settled down, and it has arrived in the evening. Jiang Fangzhen and the affiliated units of Quweiqing General Command have also arrived here one after another.
Because Zhang Yiping got there first, Zhang Yiping became the master. He took out wine to entertain Jiang Fangzhen and Qu Weiqing. The staff officers had already arranged the operation room and hung up the map. Zhang Yiping, Jiang Fangzhen and Qu Weiqing put their glasses before the map.
The map shows the enemy’s situation at a glance.
Quweiqing still can’t help but introduce the situation to Zhang Yiping with excitement.
"This battle lasted for more than a month, but it was impossible to count the number of people who killed the enemy for three days in the real decisive battle. However, according to the estimation of our general staff, at least 400,000 people were killed and a large number of artillery, trucks and tanks were seized, and some ammunition and guns were counted."
"After we have tanks, we can also go out with tanks to pick up girls!" Zhang Yiping laughed.
Jiang Fangzhen smiled with a rare smile. "You’re not afraid of scaring girls, but this gasoline is always expensive. I’m afraid you’ll be reluctant!"
Qu Weiqing smiled and pulled out a continued, "Our army moved six infantry divisions, an artillery division, and the total strength of foreign corps and Hungarian infantry divisions was about 300,000, with casualties of about 50,000."
Zhang Yiping is wrinkly to knit the brows QuWeiQing said casualties when I was always pay attention to Zhang Yiping expression because he knew that Zhang Yiping is very sensitive to casualties at ordinary times, because the soldiers in the * * regiment are all shot dead, and a Zhang Yiping feels heartache.
Although the number of casualties of 50 thousand is negligible compared with the figure of 400 thousand, the number of casualties is still too large for the Chinese regiment
"This is a rough statistic, and most of these 50,000 people are foreign corps and Hungarian auxiliary soldiers. The casualties of our army, especially intermediate gunmen, are not many. The specific casualties will have to wait for a few days," Qu Weiqing explained.
Zhang Yiping nodded and said, "If there is a war, there will be casualties. It is impossible for us to make a good pension!"
"Our brothers are all signatories to Life and Death, and the * * League will raise their wives and children for them, and their parents will not let them worry about the future. It is definitely not a word that we can not only do it, but also do it well!" Qu Weiqing said
Even Jiang Fangzhen nodded. "This" Life and Death "is well signed. This is the cornerstone of our unity and growth."
Qu Weiqing went on to say, "It is difficult for us to have an accurate statistic on the number of enemies, because it is impossible for us to count the number of corpses one by one. Now the weather is hot and the virus is prevalent. We need to deal with the facts as soon as possible. We lack manpower to clean the battlefield, and we can also put away valuable things and then dispose of the corpses hastily. In this place, we simply throw the corpses into the river and wash them away, and more of them are exposed to the wilderness."
"I’m worried about this will not be an outbreak of influenza? But if we dig a hole and bury it, we can’t dig our roots. "
"Influenza is not a plague, and people who die will not be infected with the virus before they die, but if the body is thrown into the river, it may cause a plague in the tourist area," Zhang Yiping said. "It is best for the French socialists to mobilize the local people to do it, so let’s stay out of it."
"I’m talking about French socialists. We are in charge of searching valuable things. It’s already taken too much manpower to deal with the body. We don’t have manpower, and we don’t have time." Qu Weiqing said.
"River tour is Bordeaux, isn’t it? Maybe the French socialists have plans in secret, or maybe we can just pay attention to epidemic prevention ourselves. There is no need to interfere in their struggle! " Jiang Fangzhen said softly.
Jiang Fangzhen means that the French socialists are very likely to launch a biochemical war against the tourist area because the flood area is controlled by the French government
The more the French people struggle, the more China people are full of wise people. When Jiang Fangzhen said this, he smiled and stopped discussing it.
"Come and put it in front of us is Orleans!" Qu Weiqing suddenly raised his voice and confidently said that he had not rested for two days and two nights, but he was still very excited at this time. "It can be said that all our former military operations paved the way for the battle in Orleans!"
Zhang Yiping couldn’t bear it anymore. He got up and walked to the map and took a map of the location of Orleans. "Orleans is an industrial manufacturing center with a long history and splendid culture in this beautiful city’s land and water transportation hub."
Orleans has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and there are countless allusions here-the story of Joan of Arc, a famous French heroine, took place here.
"But these are not our goals because we have no interest in cities and land … I am not interested in beautiful women now …" Zhang Yiping said in a teasing tone. "Even if Joan is reborn, I am not interested in her … whether she is beautiful or not …"
"I’m interested in men now …" Zhang Yiping looked at Jiang Fangzhen and Qu Weiqing and suddenly opened his mouth. He smiled and continued, "I mean, according to our statistics, the total number of troops in Germany, Britain, France and the United States around Orleans adds up to at least two million."
"You want to eat them?" Jiang Fangzhen and QuWeiQing different mouth asked.
"I’m afraid a word’ eat’ is too simple to tell the truth!" Zhang Yiping didn’t say yes, but it was equal to approval.
The main purpose of the war is to destroy the other side’s effective forces. What is the European goal? Isn’t that it? Is it to eliminate those thieves who are naturally gentlemen in Europe?
Chapter 35 Great disaster
Hu Congfu came to the castle of the Chinese regiment headquarters early in the morning, but he didn’t dare to go to see Zhang Yiping immediately, but went to find Yuan Wanhong.
Hu Congfu didn’t know until now that he usually offended too many people. He didn’t have a popularity in the army headquarters except Zhang Yiping. He wanted to go to Yuan Wanhong.
It’s not that Yuan Wanhong is very good with him, but that Hu Congfu thinks Yuan Wanhong is good at bullying him. He has to do whatever he wants him to do, and he never dares to say no, and there is something that can help him out.
Hu Congfu did it when he was in his hometown, but he didn’t know the world at all. It was after practicing high-altitude marksmanship here in France that he gradually became supercilious.
Hu Congfu has a leg of horse meat in his left hand, which is still a battlefield killing horse carcasses. Cut it to his right hand and pick up a bottle of rum.
Rum is a kind of distilled liquor produced from sugarcane molasses. Its alcohol content is much higher than that of grape red wine, and its taste is sweet and fragrant, which is very popular among officers and men.
France is rich in red wine, but red wine is not liked by such generous Chinese as Hu Congfu. They prefer rum and brandy with higher alcohol content. Rum produced in Cuba is also a precious gift.
To tell the truth, Yuan Wanhong didn’t want to see Hu Congfu again since he came back from the 11th Division. He just came back from the canteen and saw Hu Congfu. He was wandering in front of his house and was about to turn away when Hu Congfu saw "Little Yuan Lailailaoge, I’ll pay a New Year call to you!" Said the horse leg meat high let Yuan Wanhong see clearly.
Yuan Wanhong said with a wry smile, "Mr. Hu just celebrated the New Year in June. Are you giving me the New Year six months ago or six months late?"
"That’s almost what I mean, Xiao Yuan. Brother, this is fresh horse meat. Take it in and ask your daughter-in-law to cook it. Let’s have a few drinks. I also have a bottle of good wine here. I heard it was imported from Cuba. Brother, I’ve always been importing from Cuba for nothing. Can’t France be imported?"
"This is the headquarters, not your hometown cottage!" Yuan Wanhong said, "I have no daughter-in-law and no one to cook for me. I eat and don’t drink in the canteen of the Legion because it is on duty."
Hu Congfu stretched out his hand to hug his shoulder Yuan Wanhong hurriedly hid "Mr. Hu, what do you have to say? Don’t make trouble again. It’s not good for the leaders to see it."
