- I take a shower, am I easy?
(0855)
Lei Hu came to Xu Canhuai and asked with concern: "Xu Wenshu, are you okay?"
Xu Canhuai shook his head and said a little ashamedly: "It's okay. It's just that the bullets are basically used up."
Lei Hu waved and was handed three spare submachine gun magazines to Xu Canhuai for self-defense. Xu Canhuai didn't have a magazine, but they had plenty. As a professional combat force, they certainly would not waste bullets indiscriminately like Xu Canhuai.
In the battle just now, Xu Canhuai was basically messing around. The bullets he fired did not kill even a single Sipaxi cavalryman. All the Sipaxi cavalry were killed by Leihu and the others. They are experts at dealing with the Sipaxi cavalry.
In fact, Lei Hu¡¯s team carried a large enough amount of ammunition. Five camels can carry more than a thousand kilograms of supplies, most of which are ammunition. If used sparingly, it can last for more than half a month. In order to reduce the burden on the camels, the horses left behind by the Sipaxi cavalry were naturally requisitioned by Lei Hu and others.
There is still some distance from Aleppo, so Lei Hu and others have to continue on their way. They must rush to Aleppo as soon as possible and join the large army. In front of them, the large force of the Leopard Cavalry had entered Aleppo. After all, it is unsafe in this kind of place with no village in front and no shop in the back. He waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
¡¡
Five days later, Xu Canhuai and others finally approached Aleppo.
When the obvious green color finally appeared in his sight, Xu Canhuai couldn't help but let out a deep breath of relief. Next door to Mala, I finally saw green. He thought that in this damned place in West Asia, there was no chance of seeing green. After seeing green for so long, Xu Canhuai actually felt that his eyes seemed a little uncomfortable.
If it were a big tree, Xu Canhuai would definitely run up to it and give it a loving hug. It's a pity that those greens are all sparse grass. They all grow out of the Gobi Desert, and the tallest ones are only one finger high. Most of the weeds are actually lying on the surface of the sand. The surface of all the weeds is covered with thick dust.
In the entire Central Asia region, the most uncomfortable areas are probably the desert and the Gobi Desert. There is no water, no vegetation, no green, no life. Looking around, there is only endless silence. Looking around, there is only one color: off-white. Gray-white desert, gray-white Gobi Desert, gray-white sandstorm. Here, no life can be felt. And any outside life seems to die soon after arriving here.
Fortunately, according to intelligence data, Damascus is a beautiful city with two rivers intersecting here, which is quite a bit like Jiangnan. There's a lot of clear water, a lot of vegetation, a lot of green, a lot of life. In Damascus, you can¡¯t see the desert, you can¡¯t see the Gobi Desert. Life, in Damascus, is absolutely alive.
The majority of the soldiers in the White Army are preparing to take a good bath after entering Damascus. When it comes to fighting in Central Asia, what the officers and soldiers of the White Army look forward to most is probably taking a shower. The dust here is indeed too terrible, there is no way to hide or avoid it. At the end of the day, I was covered in gray hair and dust. However, the water here is more expensive than oil, and ordinary people cannot afford it.
Even though the White Army has set up a base camp in Baghdad, it is hoarding clean water resources as much as possible. However, not every officer and soldier can take a bath as he pleases. The White Army must strictly control the consumption of clean water.
¡°There are bathhouses in Aleppo too!¡±
Suddenly, great news came.
The expressions of Lei Hu, Xu Canhuai and others immediately cheered up.
When they were in Baghdad, they had no chance to take a shower. Along the way, the wind and sand blew, and everyone had already become disgraced. To say it's not uncomfortable would be an absolute lie. Even the inside of their nostrils was filled with condensed sand. Especially Xu Canhuai, who encountered such an uncomfortable situation for the first time on the battlefield, almost gave up.
Sure enough, Lei Hu and others quickly received orders from above and entered Aleppo to rest and standby. This order is equivalent to giving them enough time to take a good bath in the bathhouse. They can rub the skin off themselves if they want.
Xu Canhuai doesn¡¯t know if others have such thoughts. However, he definitely had such thoughts himself. He was really ready to rub all his skin off. He felt that his skin had turned to sand. Unfortunately, there is no new thing like soap in the army yet.
"Walk!"
¡°Go take a bath!¡±
Lei Hu couldn¡¯t wait to set off.
Xu Canhuai and others hurriedly followed behind and quickly entered Aleppo.
¡¡
Before the arrival of the Leopard Cavalry, the Mastiff Cavalry had already occupied Aleppo. The residents of the city were all driven out and handed over to the servant army. There is naturally a set of standard procedures for how they will be dealt with, and the white-coated army basically does not need to ask. Those servants are all very active. The streets of Aleppo are filled with soldiers from the White Army on guard.
The arrangement between Mao Shisan and Gao Jie is indeed a bit strange. The two battalion commanders who appeared in Aleppo were Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but they belonged to two different units. Li Zicheng belonged to the Leopard Cavalry, and Zhang Xianzhong belonged to the Mastiff Cavalry.
Although Li Zicheng was very fast and rushed all the way, he still fell behind Zhang Xianzhong in the end. Zhang Xianzhong's troops marched very fast and took control of Aleppo before the Leopard Cavalry arrived.
"Lao Zhang, you do this every time, it's too much!" Li Zicheng said angrily.
¡°We, the Mastiff Cavalry, are born with scuds!¡± Zhang Xianzhong said proudly.
Li Zicheng had no choice but to laugh helplessly for a while and admit defeat. Zhang Xianzhong's ability to grab credit is truly unmatched by anyone else. Everyone in the Mastiff Cavalry, starting from Gao Jie, is a desperate and desperate man. Their marching speed is indeed similar to that of Scud.
"However, being Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate is indeed tiring. Marching in a hurry in the Gobi desert, it would be strange not to be exhausted. No matter how powerful the Mastiff Cavalry is, they cannot ignore the harsh climate of the Gobi Desert. Someone must have collapsed from exhaustion. Li Zicheng was not that harsh on his subordinates, and he felt relieved after thinking about it.
According to the arrangements from above, the mission of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong is to hold Aleppo and allow the follow-up troops of the White Army to enter one after another. When attacking Damascus, Aleppo will serve as a bridgehead for the offensive. A large amount of military supplies shipped from Baghdad will also be assembled in Aleppo warehouses. Among them are a large number of howitzers.
At the same time, if the White Army Navy progresses smoothly, it will also dispatch warships to the sea near Aleppo to get in touch with the White Army Army. It is possible that part of the Marine Corps following the White Army's naval operations may directly go ashore to participate in the battle. If things don't go well for the Whitecoats and Navy, the two sides meet in Damascus.
As for Istanbul, the White Army will definitely have to wait until the White Army navy enters the Mediterranean and can cut off Istanbul's retreat before the White Army launches an attack. Otherwise, if Istanbul can receive a steady stream of reinforcements from the sea, or if it escapes by sea, the White Army's strategic plan will basically come to nothing.
¡¡
"Xu Wenshu, the bathhouse is over here!" Lei Hu waved to Xu Canhuai.
After Xu Canhuai entered Aleppo, he felt that everything was new and he had never seen anything before. He couldn't help but stop and stop, admiring everything. Unconsciously, he had fallen behind Lei Hu and others.
For everything in Aleppo, Lei Hu and others didn't care at all. It's no wonder that Lei Hu and others started fighting in the Yarkand Khanate and fought non-stop all the way. What kind of towns have you not seen along the way? Towns like Aleppo are indeed of little value in their eyes. Maybe Damascus is not that bad.
"Oh, here we come!" Xu Canhuai promised while running over.
"Be careful! Bend down! Run!" Seeing Xu Canhuai's frizzy hair and his lack of concealment, Lei Hu and others couldn't help but become anxious. Someone couldn't help shouting loudly. Some people couldn't help but ran out and grabbed Xu Canhuai.
Veterans are all like this. It is really unwise to see new recruits in a hurry and expose themselves to the enemy's gunfire. Like Xu Canhuai, if he had been in a fierce battle, his actions would have killed him long ago.
In fact, there are still remnants of religious fanatics in the city. They hide in tunnels, basements, or unknown spaces, quietly spying on the movements of the White Army. If given the chance, they would suddenly appear and launch a surprise attack. If Xu Canhuai is left alone, he will most likely be killed by them.
Fortunately, the White Army is also fully prepared. Snipers from the White Army are on guard at all commanding heights in Aleppo. Their mission is to shoot any religious fanatics from a distance. Any dangerous enemy they find will be shot from a distance. There are more than ten sharpshooters in Lei Hu's team. As long as the enemy is discovered by them, they will definitely not be able to escape them.??Bullets.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong also strictly restricted the movements of the troops and prohibited any officers and soldiers from acting alone. All military operations must be carried out in at least small units. Any officers and soldiers who violate the regulations will be severely punished by military law. Facts have proved that after the city is broken, if the discipline of the troops is not strictly controlled, it is likely to cause the troops to lose control. Xu Xingxia still remembers the lesson Huang Chao learned when he entered Chang'an in the past. He doesn't want to make the same mistake again.
What Xu Xingxia needs is not a force that can't help but burn, kill and loot everywhere after breaking the city. It is true that after the city is broken, necessary burning, killing and looting are inevitable. However, the burning, killing and looting can be left to the servant army. The White Army himself must not do this. At any time, only iron discipline can forge an iron army. Not being arrogant in victory and not being discouraged in defeat are the most basic requirements for a strong army.
Under the guidance of Lei Hu and others, Xu Canhuai came to the outside of a large bathhouse. The bathhouses in Aleppo are very famous. The largest bathhouse can accommodate thousands of people bathing together. Moreover, legend has it that in the past, men and women could bathe together. Of course, it became impossible later. Since the rise of Green Religion, many rules have changed. Not to mention men and women bathing together, all women in West Asia are not allowed to let outsiders see their faces.
The huge bathroom has been controlled by the white army, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. In the bathhouse, there were also people from other brother troops taking a bath. Outside the bathhouse, there are special military police on duty who are responsible for registering identities, keeping weapons, etc. After all the procedures were completed, Lei Hu and others hurriedly entered the bathhouse. As soon as everyone took off their general clothes, they jumped into the pool.
There are no women in the bathhouse, they are all men. Naturally, everyone stripped themselves naked. Some of the more vulgar guys looked specifically between other people's legs. Some people despise this, some people are shy about it, and some people show off deliberately with their legs spread wide.
It¡¯s funny to say that the shyest person is Xu Canhuai. Lei Hu and others jumped into the warm water, but he was still hesitating on the edge of the pool. He was still wearing a military uniform. After hesitating for a long time, he never took off his military uniform. To be honest, at this age, he has never taken off his clothes in front of so many people.
Lei Hu waved and shouted: "Xu Wenshu, come down! Don't act like a girl!"
Xu Canhuai's face turned slightly red, he mustered up the courage, took off his military uniform, and jumped down with his eyes closed.
Sure enough, as soon as the body was soaked in the warm water, it felt countless comforts spurting out from the three thousand pores. It was so comfortable that I didn't even want to move a finger. Compared with the outside world and inside the bathhouse, the difference between hell and heaven is simply there. At that moment, Xu Canhuai felt that even if someone put a knife on his neck, he would not want to leave the bathhouse. He leaned on the edge of the bathtub, eyes closed, not wanting to move.
Most of the officers and soldiers in white clothes who entered the bathhouse had similar reactions to Xu Canhuai after entering the water. On the one hand, they were enjoying the comfort brought by the hot water, and on the other hand, they were waiting for the dust on their bodies to be dissolved, and then they gave each other a bath. The dust on many people's bodies has completely condensed. It is estimated that it will be impossible to dissolve without soaking for dozens of minutes.
Some of the soldiers who came earlier, the dust on their bodies had already dissolved, and they started rubbing their backs in twos and threes. It was probably because the dust on some people's bodies was a bit thick. The person who was rubbing his back couldn't help but murmured, and then everyone started laughing.
"Lao Guo, how is the situation there?" Suddenly, someone next to you asked.
Xu Canhuai turned around casually and found that a group of people were talking around him. They have already bathed each other and are enjoying the comfort brought by the hot water. They are all in their thirties and should be relatively senior officers. Sure enough, I found out later that Lao Guo turned out to be the squadron leader. Several people around him are also squadron leaders.
Lao Guo¡¯s unit was the second battalion of the Mastiff Cavalry. They were deployed to the north of Aleppo and were the first to encounter the enemy troops coming from Istanbul for reinforcements. The battle had lasted for about four days before Xu Canhuai arrived. Today happens to be the truce period. There is no doubt that the battle has entered a fierce state from the beginning.
Due to transportation difficulties, the 155mm heavy artillery and the 105mm howitzer have not yet been transported to the front line. Lao Guo's second battalion of the Mastiff Cavalry could only rely on 75mm howitzers and 60mm mortars to fight. They only had more than 5,000 people, but they faced more than 100,000 Ottoman Turkish reinforcements.
On the first day, the Ottoman Turkish Empire left more than 20,000 corpses just in front of the White Army¡¯s position. Most of them are fanatics who have lost their minds. no matter whereFrom a certain perspective, they are the most suitable and cheapest cannon fodder. In every battle, the top leaders of the Ottoman Turkish Empire used them to consume the ammunition of the White Army. As for the White Army, dozens of people died, and more than a hundred people were injured.
Because they received strong support from the Europeans, the Ottoman Empire's army departing from Istanbul was generally equipped with large-caliber smoothbore cannons, with a range of generally more than five kilometers. On the front line, a distance of five kilometers can already cause a certain amount of damage to the white army. The casualties of the White Army were caused by these cannons.
"Da da da!"
¡°Bang bang bang bang!¡±
While we were chatting, suddenly, there was loud gunfire outside.
"There is a situation!"
"Ready to fight!"
Lei Hu and others were so excited that they jumped up in a hurry and ran out naked without caring about their clothes. The other officers and soldiers in white clothes also reacted quickly, followed Lei Hu, and rushed out of the bathhouse. Xu Canhuai also jumped up in a hurry and ran out after them. In desperation, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes and rushed out naked.
The weapons of Lei Hu and others are outside the bathroom. After they rushed out, they immediately took back their weapons. After they held their weapons tightly in their hands, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter when, weapons are the most trustworthy. Weapons are the second life of soldiers, and they will never forget them at any time.
But when they took up arms, nothing happened. It was quiet all around, except for the military police who were asking about the situation. Later, Lei Hu and others learned that the gunshots turned out to be from a group of new recruits who fired randomly into the sky when they encountered something happy. As a result, the military judge came and took them all away. It is conceivable that these new recruits must be detained for at least three days.
"I take a shower, is it easy for me?"
Lei Hu and others mumbled and returned to the bathhouse.
Unexpectedly, after soaking for a while, there was another fierce gunshot.
This time, even Xu Canhuai couldn't help but curse: "Fuck, who is shooting randomly again?"
Despite the scolding, he still had to get up in a hurry, grab his clothes and run outside to get his weapon back. Without a weapon in hand, you are always unsure!
