Chapter 50 Explodes the Northwest Army

Zhou Shibin's parents died when he was young, and under the protection of his grandparents, he made a living by herding cattle for people, and joined Feng Yuxiang's 16th Mixed Brigade as a teenager and became a firehead soldier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Later, because of his bravery in combat and fearless of death, he was favored by Sun Lianzhong and transferred to his department, and was promoted to the head of a regiment step by step due to his merits, and it can be said that he is a battle-hardened general of the Northwest Army.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Shibin has great contempt for the security regiment led by Xu Guoren, in his opinion, Xu Guoren is just a stunned young man in his twenties, and the security regiment under his command is not even a rabble of local armed forces.

Before, he was lucky enough to destroy a miscellaneous infantry regiment of the Jin Sui Army, which can only be said to be the wrong combat effectiveness of the Jin Sui Army, and represents how strong his security regiment is.

On the surface, Zhou Shibin does have the qualifications and combat experience to crush Xu Guoren, one is experienced in a hundred battles, the other is a fledgling, from where you look, Zhou Shibin has enough reasons to despise the opponent and crush the opponent.

However, Zhou Shibin never dreamed that Xu Guoren, who was only nineteen years old, was a time-traveler with various advanced knowledge that was nearly half a century ahead of him.

Of course, Zhou Shibin also has the capital, that is, the regiment under him, although after the Central Plains War, the losses were not small, and it was compressed by Zhang Xueliang, the current king of North China, and became a B regiment with only more than 1,000 people.

However, the backbone of the veterans he brought out from the northwest is still there, and his combat effectiveness is also among the best in the entire 26th Army.

Therefore, he didn't even send out the necessary sharp soldiers, but just led the troops all the way forward, anyway, there is only such a road in the northwest of Pingyang, as long as Xu Guoren's security regiment escapes from here, they will definitely be able to meet it.

As long as it encounters, with its own strength, it is not easy to crush and beat the opponent?

When the troops reached the front line, one of Zhou Shibin's adjutant came to his horse and said to him with some concern: "Tuanzao, the terrain in front is too steep, why don't you let the reconnaissance company go to reconnoiter and reconnoiter first?" ”

After advancing with the troops for most of the day and not seeing any trace of the security regiment, Zhou Shibin was already a little impatient, and his temper was already hot, so he immediately said angrily: "I'm afraid of a hammer, a group of rabble, you look up to them too much, right?" Even if they found us, they probably would have escaped in the woods in a frightening way, and would they dare to ambush us?

Besides, even if they had an ambush, what was there to fear? With the combat effectiveness of my 208th Regiment, dealing with this group of rabble, it is simply a knife to kill chickens, if it weren't for the fact that the division had promised the people in the provincial capital, Lao Tzu would not have come! ”

The adjutant was scolded by him, and he didn't dare to say more, so he had to bow his head and say yes.

Zhou Shibin stopped moving forward, turned around and glanced at the marching team, and waved his hand in high spirits: "Brothers, speed up, pass through this area at full speed, and if we can't find the enemy, we will go to Pingyang City to drink!" ”

At his urging, the speed of the 208th Regiment increased.

On the valley on the right side of the first line of sky, Xu Guoren was lying in a large cluster of wild flowers and grass, and the soldiers of the security regiment were waiting for the news of the reconnaissance company, and Xu Guoren and Guo Shiyin's eyes were on the opposite valley.

At the top of the valley opposite, there were several scouts in ambush, standing tall and looking far away, shaking the three small trees around them whenever they spotted the enemy's tracks.

Suddenly, the three small trees on the opposite valley shook a few times one after another, Xu Guoren suddenly came to his senses, and ordered Niu Dagen: "The enemy is coming, pass on my orders, and the whole regiment is ready to fight, with my guns as a signal!" ”

Niu Dagen immediately took the order and quickly conveyed Xu Guoren's order through person-to-person transmission.

Nearly 1,000 fighters of the security regiment are all ready for battle.

Xu Guoren personally set up a light machine gun, and the barrel of the gun quietly stretched out from the flowers, aiming at the entrance of the First Line Sky Canyon.

Soon, the main force of the 208th Regiment rushed into the canyon, and when it was halfway through.

Xu Guoren decisively pulled the trigger, after the past six months of training, Xu Guoren for rifles, pistols, light machine guns and other light weapons use, has made great progress, although not a sharpshooter, but also very good, after all, this body has a hunting foundation.

Da-da-da-da! The light machine gun let out a roar of rage, and several hot bullets came out of their chambers, with the sound of whirring wind, and shot at the crowd of the 208th Regiment of the Northwest Army that was marching.

Puff puff! Three unlucky soldiers of the Northwest Army were hit on the spot and fell down screaming.

"Brothers, call me!" On the opposite valley, Guo Danian saw that Xu Guoren had already fired, and he also held a light machine gun, so he stood up directly, roaring angrily, and firing fiercely at the Northwest Army in the valley.

The sound of a gun is an order! The guard company, the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion, and the reconnaissance company opened fire one after another, and nearly 1,000 officers and men of the Security Regiment opened fire one after another, and thousands of dense bullets rained down from both sides of the canyon.

The Northwest Army of the 208th Regiment was suddenly taken by surprise and fell down in rows like harvested wheat.

Zhou Shibin rode a horse, and he bore the brunt of the attack, one of the two bullets hit his war horse, one of which passed through his left shoulder blade, and he immediately fell off the horse with a scream.

And because of the pain, his war horse spread its four hooves and galloped forward uncontrollably, knocking over and trampling many soldiers of the Northwest Army along the way, adding a panic to the 208th Regiment.

Because Zhou Shibin was shot and fell from his horse, he did not know whether he was alive or dead, and coupled with the terrain restrictions, the strength of the 208th Regiment could not be deployed at all, and the security regiment occupied a favorable terrain, concentrated firepower and beat him fiercely, suffering heavy casualties, and soon lost the ability to resist the formation, and they retreated towards both ends of the canyon in a hurry.

"Brothers, the elite of the Northwest Army is nothing more than that! Rush up and don't let them go! Kill! Xu Guoren's confidence in killing greatly increased, and when he saw that the Northwest Army had been defeated, he immediately stood up and raised his arms and shouted.

Come on! Kill! Nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers, led by Niu Dagen, Guo Hu, Guo Danian and others, rushed down from the canyon one after another and launched a separate pursuit of the Northwest Army.

Because he had to turn back to deal with the two Jinsui regiments, Xu Guoren let the 100 people of a battalion and a company ambush outside the entrance to the southern end of the first line of Tian, that is, in the direction of Pingyang, in order to prevent that after the ambush began, the Northwest Army would panic and flee forward.

As for why he didn't set up an ambush in advance at the entrance direction of the 208th Regiment, the reason was very simple, although Xu Guoren didn't know much about military affairs, he knew how to bite people when the rabbit was in a hurry, not to mention the thousands of people in the 208th Regiment who were surrounded.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Xu Guoren did not intend to eat them in one bite, but defeated or even severely injured them as much as possible.

It's just that Xu Guoren didn't expect that the 208th Regiment of the Northwest Army, which is known as the elite, would be so unbeatable.

Of course, there is a premise for this elite, compared with the general local armed forces or the miscellaneous cards of the Jin Sui Army, the 208th Regiment of the Northwest Army may be the elite, if it is to face the Central Army or the Japanese army with better equipment, it will be a different matter.

Although Xu Guoren's security regiment is not very well equipped, it basically has everything, and there is enough ammunition, plus it has terrain advantages, and it is a calculating and unprepared ambush, so it is reasonable to blow up the 208th regiment.
