Siheyuan: Happy life of the son-in-law of a founding general

Chapter 118 Wang Zhiyong Suppresses Bandits

Soon after Daxia was founded, many enemy troops that had fled returned to remote areas and became bandits. Later, the Eagle Sauce launched a war, and Daxia had no choice but to fight against the Eagle Sauce.

That's why Daxia didn't fight the Eagle Sauce with all its might. You know, Daxia had more than five million troops at the time, but only more than 800,000 fought against the Eagle Sauce. The most number of troops fighting at the same time was more than 400,000.

Other troops are still fighting and resting in the country.

As for these bandits, they went to remote areas, and some of them were locals. It was quite difficult for Daxia to encircle and suppress them.

In addition, at this time, Daxia actually wanted to resolve these bandits peacefully, mostly through propaganda and education. In the final analysis, they didn't want to fight anymore, they wanted peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and they wanted to live a good life together as soon as possible.

But there were still some stubborn bandits who refused to listen.

Among the remote areas of Daxia, Ningxi had the most bandits and the most fierce combat effectiveness. The main reason was that the enemy army of tens of thousands of people was directly disbanded, and these soldiers immediately became local villagers. (There are historical reasons here, and it is impossible to expand the in-depth description)

In a county called Yuanye in Ningxi, Daxia sent a regiment to suppress bandits. But when they learned about the bandits from their fellow villagers and went to suppress them, they found themselves in a trap. Two battalions of more than 700 people were attacked from both sides by the bandits.

At the same time, more than 3,000 bandits appeared from nowhere and began to attack Yuanye County. A battalion of troops, plus some armed personnel from the Public Security Bureau, a total of more than 400 people, had to defend the city with all their strength.

Unexpectedly, there were bandits in Yuanye County. This battalion, along with other armed forces, was ambushed and suffered heavy losses.

In the end, all of them died in the battle. Even at the end, it was unknown how many bandits participated in the attack.

After the bandits successfully captured Yuanye County, they took away all the ammunition and logistical supplies, which naturally greatly increased their strength.

Afterwards, the two battalions that had fallen into the trap fought their way out of the encirclement after a day and night of bloody fighting. However, they also suffered heavy losses. In the end, only more than a hundred people returned to the county town.

In this battle, more than 1,500 bandits died. In terms of casualties, the Daxia bandit suppression force won. But from more perspectives, they lost this time. And they lost miserably.

Upon learning that the county town had been breached once, the regiment commander almost went crazy and wanted to launch a second attack immediately. This was a disastrous defeat. But it also shows how bad the situation of suppressing bandits was at that time.

Because, in these places, there may be bandits in many ordinary people's homes. No one knows how many bandits there are in a county town.

This is not the most difficult part of suppressing bandits. The most difficult part is that you don’t know who the bandits are. Just like the battle in Yuanye County, there were many bandits who acted as accomplices inside. Otherwise, the soldiers of this battalion should have been able to defend the county for at least a few days.

But because of an insider, the city gate was lost in less than two hours.

Therefore, when suppressing bandits, the officers and soldiers of the Daxia Army were also asked to return to their hometowns as much as possible. This is to better exert the power of the masses.

Know the roots.

The attack on Yuanye County had a very serious impact. The army commander in charge of suppressing the bandits at the time issued a strict order and sent two regiments to pursue and suppress the bandits, but after a week of hard work, there was no progress.

No one knew where those thousands of bandits had gone.

Faced with this situation, a certain leader of the Zhite Army who had returned from the island to rest suggested that some of the Zhite Army be allowed to return.

The Zhite Army had just won a great victory, its combat effectiveness was at its peak, and its weapons and equipment were much better. However, it was immediately opposed by people who believed that the Zhite Army leader looked down on other brother troops.

The chief apologized immediately upon hearing this and forgot about it for a moment.

So, a lot of times, the situation is complicated.

Under this circumstance, the leader of the Zhite Army mentioned that Wang Zhiyong was conducting special forces training on the island. The effect was good, so it would be better to transfer Wang Zhiyong over.

Other military leaders began to disagree, saying that the special warfare training of the Zhite Army was just reconnaissance training, which was available in every unit. There was no need to bother the Zhite Army to send someone over.

Obviously, he didn't want to be looked down upon by the Zhite Army. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Soldiers still attach great importance to this kind of ranking.

The leader of the Zhite Army began to explain that Wang Zhiyong's training was different from that of the scouts. He mentioned that the special operations team was a three-dimensional combat team and was very comprehensive.

Finally, a big boss agreed to the proposal of the leader of the Zhite Army.

So, Wang Zhiyong rushed back to Daxia from the island and brought a company of special forces soldiers with him.

The special warfare soldiers in this company are naturally the elite among the elite. One third of them are sharpshooters, that is, very powerful snipers. In addition, there are fire suppression experts, scouts, and soldiers who are proficient in various special combat skills.

Five days later, Wang Zhiyong went to Yuanye County. There was still a strong smell of blood in Yuanye County. Not long ago, a total of 2,000 people died in the battle here, and even more were injured.

It's understandable that there's such a strong smell of blood.

After Wang Zhiyong arrived in Yuanye County, he was fully responsible for the anti-bandit work. At that time, the army commander sent two regiments, which were commanded by a deputy brigade commander. But now Wang Zhiyong is the deputy army commander. Wang Zhiyong has the highest official position.

In addition, the situation of the Zhite Army is quite special, and there is no brigade level. That is, the regiment commander is promoted to division commander, and then army commander.

But Wang Zhiyong's position after returning to Daxia was still at the deputy army level.

After connecting with the deputy brigade commander and the two regiment commanders, Wang Zhiyong quickly learned the basic situation of Yuanye County. He knew that at the moment, it was likely that some bandits went to the mountains and caves to hide. That was why they attacked the county and robbed so many military supplies. But there should be some bandits who changed their clothes and became local people.

Faced with this situation, the best way is to conduct preliminary reconnaissance, find the main force of the bandits, and then encircle and suppress them.

So, in the end, it still depends on the special forces members.

To this end, Wang Zhiyong asked the two regiments to send out two more companies of scouts, plus his own company of special operations soldiers. In a ratio of two to one, these scouts and his own special operations soldiers formed a new special operations team.

This naturally requires systematic training.

Three days later, the soldiers of the three companies gradually became more coordinated. Afterwards, they formed 40 groups of twelve people each and began to conduct reconnaissance in the mountainous forests.

During this process, the special forces soldiers brought back by Wang Zhiyong played a very positive role, fighting with these bandits 21 times in total and annihilating more than 500 of them. But they could not find the main force of the bandits.

As time went by, these bandits seemed to suddenly disappear.

This is really strange.

During this period, Wang Zhiyong was not idle and continued to train the remaining soldiers of the regiment. Three days later, all the scouts returned, but still did not find the main force of the bandits.

After two days of rest, the reconnaissance soldiers set out again. Wang Zhiyong was among them.
