After the formation of the new army, a lone company in the crossing army was broken up and assigned to the new army as officers at all levels, responsible for the training and command of the new army, and Luo Yue was also promoted from a platoon commander to a battalion commander. At this time, Luo Yue was leading his battalion to pursue the Russian army.

During these ten days, in addition to arranging various basic training for the recruits, Luo Yue paid the most attention to letting the recruits establish a sense of discipline and instill in them the concept of obeying the command in all actions. And every day, the recruits will be trained in various ways to respect discipline and obey orders, such as sudden assembly, sudden change of training plan, or intentional non-stop orders, etc. Because for a newly formed army, strict enforcement of discipline is quite important, and now is the time to test the results of the stage.

Before the attack, Luo Yue also specially emphasized to the recruits of the whole battalion that they must obey orders in battle, and the whole battalion must maintain a good formation, and divide the whole battalion into three companies to advance in unison, and each company is a platoon unit, lined up in a triangle, so as to ensure the maximum degree of shooting firepower during the pursuit, and will not accidentally injure their own people.

In each platoon, the fighters in the front are responsible for pursuing and shooting, and the fighters in the rear are responsible for replenishing the guns and knives of the wounded and lone Russian soldiers, rather than taking the method of alternating front and back shooting, because the training time of the new army is still short, and it is not possible to smoothly change formations, and if the front and rear alternate shots are used, it is easy to cause confusion in the queue, so Luo Yue would rather adopt a simple and safe, but inefficient tactic. After all, the new army is not the protagonist of this war, as long as it cooperates with the crossing army to complete the task.

Sure enough, in the process of pursuing the Russian army, the battalion commanded by Luo Yue was in the middle, but it always maintained a relatively neat formation, followed behind the Russian army unhurriedly, and always maintained a distance of about 100 meters, which not only maintained a certain pressure on the Russian army, but also did not overpress. The formation of the other two battalions was much more scattered, and they were also pressed much forward, and some even bit together with the tail of the Russian army.

In fact, the recruits of the Luo Yue battalion also felt a little depressed and could not fully exert themselves, but the officers at all levels strictly implemented Luo Yue's orders and constantly restrained the recruits, and the discipline training that had been adhered to during this period of time also played a considerable role at this time, so the formation of the Luo Yue battalion was never in chaos.

And in a short time, the crossing army had gone around from both sides of the Russian army to the front of the Russian army, and immediately outflanked it, while the Russian army was flanked by the left and right sides of the front, and suddenly turned from defeat and retreat to a total rout. Some Russian soldiers fled from the left and right sides of the battlefield, and some Russian soldiers finally turned around and killed them in desperation. Because the two battalions on the left and right pressed too high in the pursuit, and the formation of the troops had been scattered, after the Russian army returned to kill, the new army was taken by surprise, and immediately caused some casualties, and some were even killed by the Russian army and retreated. After all, the quality of the recruits is far from being comparable with that of the Russian soldiers, and in white-knuckle combat, one Russian soldier can often deal with three or four recruits.

But at this time, the advantages of the Luo Yue battalion were reflected, on the one hand, they always maintained a distance of about 100 meters from the Russian army, on the other hand, the formation of the whole battalion has been maintained well, so when the Russian army turned around and killed back, the whole battalion did not engage with the Russian army in a short hand, but also stabilized the position in a very timely manner, and with a tight formation, neat shooting, and supplemented by the firepower of various automatic weapons of officers at all levels of the battalion, successfully blocked the counterattack of the Russian army.

Because the Luo Yue battalion was located in the middle, his battalion stabilized its position, which was a great encouragement to the two new battalions on the left and right, so the two battalions on the left and right gradually stabilized after retreating for a distance to resist the counterattack of the Russian army.

Of course, on the whole, the Russian army's counterattack was actually a dying struggle before death, and it was through the army that completed the merger in front of the Russian army, and after the counteroffensive, the resistance of the Russian army suddenly collapsed, and the remaining Russian soldiers either fled from the battlefield or surrendered to the crossing army.

In the end, this battle ended with a comprehensive victory for the army that crossed the group, and nearly 3,000 Russian corpses were found on the battlefield, and the body of the Russian commander Linnevich was found on the battlefield, and more than 700 Russian soldiers were captured, and more than 2,200 rifles, 15 war horses, and a number of bullets were also captured. Of course, broken copper and iron are also useful for crossing the group, and other metal products can be made after returning to the furnace.

In the new army, 57 soldiers were killed and 81 soldiers were wounded, but only 9 soldiers were killed and 22 soldiers were wounded, which was the smallest casualty among the battalions, and once again proved the importance of maintaining a tight formation and strict discipline on the battlefield. Of course, these casualties are negligible relative to the results achieved.

This battle was the first time that the new army participated in the battle after its establishment, although it could not be regarded as a formal participation in the war, but after all, it was followed by a great victory, for a newly formed army, by it was ten days ago, these soldiers were only peasants who could only use hoes and sickles, this period of battlefield experience is also very important, is the first step for them to grow into qualified soldiers.

Among the foreign powers in this era, Russia's image is the worst, and the Russian soldiers are also the most ferocious among the soldiers of all countries, so the defeat of the Russian army also completely allowed the new army to establish confidence in the crossing army, after all, the previous battles were completed by the crossing army, and this time the new army participated, which also proves that as long as you obey the command of these overseas Chinese, train and fight according to their requirements, you can defeat any foreign army.

However, when the troops returned to the North Warehouse camp, they were ordered to rest immediately and prepare for the next battle.

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

The acting commander of the Russian army, Alekseev, under the protection of several soldiers who accompanied him, escaped from the battlefield by luck, and gathered more than 2,800 Russian soldiers along the road, and many people were injured, only a little more than 40% when the troops were dispatched. And Alekseev had no other way to shoot, so he had to lead these remnants of the defeated army back to Yang Village.

At this time, in Yangcun, the armies of France, Italy, Germany and Austria had also arrived, and the Eight-Nation Alliance gathered in Yangcun. And the Russian army was defeated, and more than half of the whole army suffered casualties, and even the commander was killed in this battle, and the commanders of the other seven countries couldn't help but be shocked, because the combat effectiveness of the Russian army was recognized in Europe as second only to the German army, although before the war, the British commander Gaisley, the Japanese commander Yamaguchi Sotomi, US Commander Cha Fei was not optimistic that the Russian army would win this sortie, but he did not think that the Russian army would be defeated, at most it would not be able to attack, and could only withdraw its troops, let alone that the Russian army would be defeated so badly, and at the same time understood that the news sent from Beijing was not unreasonable.

Originally, after the Russian army attacked, Britain, the United States and Japan also sent a part of their troops to follow behind the Russian army, preparing to go up to pick up some cheap after the Russian army won, and if the Russian army is unfavorable, it will respond to the Russian army. However, with the arrival of the armies of France, Italy, Germany and Austria, an urgent notice jointly sent by the ministers of Beijing to the coalition forces was also sent to Yangcun. Tell the commanders of various countries that the German fleet has suffered heavy casualties from this group of overseas Chinese navy, and that the remaining warships have now returned to Qingdao, and that the governments of various countries have demanded that the Eight-Nation Coalition immediately withdraw to Beijing and garrison it, and if this group of overseas Chinese attack Beijing, they must defend Beijing with all their might, and then wait for the next order from the governments.

Although this news made the commanders of various countries find it hard to believe, how could the German fleet have been defeated so badly? Is it mistaken, but this is a joint circular sent by the ministers of various countries, and it is a domestic order, so no matter what the facts are, the withdrawal of troops is certain, so Britain, the United States, and Japan immediately recruited their own troops following the Russian army, and gathered the commanders of various countries to discuss the withdrawal of troops.

However, the commanders of other countries did not agree with the order to withdraw their troops, and some people firmly believed that the German fleet would not be defeated, but they must have been mistaken; some people thought that they had already reached Yangcun and would withdraw without a single battle, which was too much to say, and that it was better to fight with overseas Chinese, and perhaps they would be able to recover Tianjin; and others believed that they could wait for the results of the Russian battle to come out before deciding on the next plan of the coalition forces.

Now the results of the Russian army's attack on Beicang have come out, that is, a fiasco, which has completely dispelled the idea that the commanders of various countries want to fight with overseas Chinese again, and at the same time believe in the result of the defeat of the German fleet. It seems that all countries have greatly estimated the strength of this group of overseas Chinese, and the withdrawal of troops has become the consensus of the commanders of various countries.

But at this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and it was about to get dark, and it was definitely impossible to withdraw the troops today, and the armies of France, Italy, Germany and Austria had just arrived, and they were already very tired, so they had to let the soldiers rest for the night and recover their strength. In addition, Yangcun has relatively complete fortifications, which also makes the commanders of various countries very reassured, and it is estimated that there will be nothing to do when they wait for one, so it was finally decided to rest for the night and withdraw the troops early tomorrow morning.

After dinner, the soldiers of the four countries of Britain and the United States began to pack up and prepare to withdraw their troops, while the soldiers of the four countries of France, Italy, Germany and Austria slept and rested, because they had just arrived, and the packed items had not yet been untied, so they would withdraw directly tomorrow, and it would be easy to arrive. And the commanders of various countries gathered together to ask the acting commander of the Russian army, Alekseev, about the course of the battle.
