The extermination of Meng Sanchun this time was naturally a small battle, but it was not the case for those princes from all walks of life who watched the whole battle, because the Wehrmacht seemed to have new content in addition to the domineering aircraft and sharp artillery. To say that after the formation of the coalition forces, it basically represented the Wehrmacht, the southern government, and the warlords of the Feng faction, but the saying that "there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things" is really true.

So while the uniformed chiefs were from the Wehrmacht, the Feng, and the Hubei, the observers in officer uniforms and suits were not necessarily the henchmen of the bosses of these factions. Zhang Lao Gada of the Feng Department can still control his subordinates, although it is also divided into different factions such as the "Octagonal Taiwan Department", "Guannei Department" and "Baoding Department", but they can still obey Yu Shuai's dispatch.

Although Qiao Fu is the first person in China, his subordinates are not only not strong in combat, but also have many factions, including the Beiyang Sichuan Army of the Liu brothers, the Jianguo Sichuan Army of Xiong Kewu's Department after returning home, the Hubei Army of Li Shu, the Jianguo Jiangxi Army of Huang Kedi, the Hunan warlord Tan Yanhong, the Yunnan warlord Tang Jiyao in the southwest and the Gui warlord Lu Rongting. And the captain of this convoy was none other than Commander Chen Yingshi Chen (Nanjing Garrison Commander) who was making trouble in Nanjing.

Except for Kawashima Nanji, the chief of the General Intelligence Bureau of the General Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters, who appointed a senior envoy who was mixed in with the Yunnan warlords to join the observation group with a few intelligence officers, only the Americans did not know what the considerations were and actually sent a Lieutenant Nelson stationed in the Shanghai Concession as an observer. Their eyes were all fixed on the 5th Division of the Wehrmacht facing off against Ma Fuxiang in Longshang. I have no interest in such a remote mountain town as Shanyang.

It is said that in the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu (1903), Ma Fuxiang was transferred to Gansu Zhuanglang Association Town Guard. In the thirtieth year of Guangxu (1904), Ma Fuxiang was transferred to the Shaanxi-Gansu Governor's Association. In the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Xining Town, and soon served as the envoy of the Altai Protector. In the first year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty (1909), Shengyun reorganized part of the new army into a standing army, which was divided into four standards, and Ma Fuxiang served as the second standard commander of the infantry. In leap February, Ma Fuxiang was also the chief soldier of Balikun Town. In the winter of that year, Chang Gung served as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, changed the standing army into a patrol team, and Ma Fuxiang served as the patrol commander of the West Road, stationed in Lanzhou. The main force of more than 10,000 Ningma in his hand has already occupied a large area of territory in Ningxia, and he is naturally very vigilant against the allied army's Shaanxi security operation. However, the confrontation between the two sides in Yulin and Suide did not cause a conflict, after the local station of the Mountain Chamber of Commerce matched Ma Fuxiang, Ma Fuxiang only understood that the other party only needed to ensure the smooth flow of the Western Regions trade route, this Silk Road is also in line with the interests of the Ma family, Ningma has always paid attention to the protection of merchants, so the trade route into Xinjiang through the river has always been a relatively safe trade route.

Ma Fuxiang once co-founded the "Bright Match Co., Ltd." with Peng Yingjia, and he was also a rare military, political and business all-round talent in the Ma family, he understood that the coalition army would not have much interest in the barren Ningxia, as long as he did not touch the interests of the other party's trade routes, he would naturally be safe, and seeing that the other party only sent an infantry division to clear northern Shaanxi, it was also clear that the other party had no intention of advancing westward.

The confrontation in the north attracted the attention of most people, but the warlords of Sichuan and Hubei close to the Qinling Mountains could not help but express serious concern about the battle against bandits in the Qinling Mountains, and their representatives naturally followed the coalition army, to be precise, the 10th Mountain Division of the National Defense Army stationed on the front line of the suppression of bandits. However, on the top of the mountain, it can be seen clearly with the artillery mirror, the other side also has guns and cannons, and is fully prepared, using the range to suppress the attack of the mountain division, these two feel that the mountain division will probably have to wait until the follow-up troops to transport the cannon to be qualified to talk to each other, but they didn't expect to smoke just a cigarette, after a few gunshots, the opponent's cannon was actually dumb, the artillery was crushed to death by the rifle, and the dead bodies around the two cannons were pounced on a thick layer, and there was not a single shot for half an hour, In the end, it was the mortars of the mountain division that ran around on their backs that were washed out with a few shells. Then it was like dumplings falling down from the city walls. The infantry of one hundred and ten men was able to capture the city pass without hindrance. Look at the smoke column and the explosion to know that this fight is not fierce, sure enough, soon the county fell silent, hundreds of bandits rushed out from the south gate, but from the artillery team mirror to see clearly, a company of mountain divisions has surrounded the road to the south, over the mountains and mountains, of course will not be found, but unfortunately these dizzy bandits crashed into the circle of fire, after a few strokes are either dead or disabled, legs and feet are all alive, and their minds are also bright raised hands and surrendered. When they went down the mountain and entered the city, they were just in time for a group of soldiers dressed in flowered clothes to come back with the head of the bandit leader Meng Sanchun to ask for credit.

"Brother Boqian, look at this, this, this is too fast." Guan Jie, the representative of Liu Cunhou, the family of Master Guan, did not have the courage of Guan Erye, and saw that the giant bandit in front of him who had once crisscrossed Sichuan, Hubei and Shaanxi abandoned the city and fled without holding out for a morning, and ended up with a dead army, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Brother Renxian, this Wuyi New Army, oh, it is the Wehrmacht Army, the soldiers are well-fed, the men and horses are neat, although the Meng bandits are rampant, after all, they are a rabble, and it is normal to be exterminated by the Wehrmacht, Renxian still doesn't need to mind." I have to say that this man seems to be reasonable, but he has no actual content, and even misleads the eyes of observers, and thinks that the Wehrmacht really relies entirely on advanced weapons to fight the world.

"It goes without saying that the Wehrmacht has strong firepower, but the way to victory is the courage of the soldiers, the flexibility of command, the advanced tactics, and the superb quality." A young Dian Army officer, who was wearing a plain blue uniform with a clear difference from the Wehrmacht's iron-gray uniform, said that he was also one of the observers: "You two, I was here to observe when you didn't arrive. Even though Meng Sanchun was a bandit, his command and tactics did not have much to criticize, on the contrary, his use of artillery fire to block the enemy's opponents and open the distance to fight artillery battles was very correct. I also thought that artillery without sufficient range could only be won by piling it up with human lives. I didn't expect to underestimate the Wehrmacht's tactics. ”

"Well, Brother Cloud Tier. You can tell our two brothers, cannons can't compare to each other, how to win without rushing up to hand-to-hand combat? "This Guan Jie is also rough in military affairs, in the warlord battle in Sichuan, if one side has artillery, the other side will either be defeated or use the ocean and tobacco to offer a bounty, recruit death squads to charge, once it enters the range of hand-to-hand combat.

"Our battles in the southwest are all fought like this, that is, the Japanese instructor said the same, I originally thought that the tactics of the world are just like this, but I didn't expect that the Wehrmacht did not rush hard, but stationed outside the firing range, and then sent capable sharpshooters, lurking into the position, a few people packed a cannon, the gun was red, and the fire was killed, and it was a full ten minutes before their kind of small artillery rushed up, relying on the rate of fire and accuracy to suppress it intensively, and also detonated the ammunition, before destroying Meng Sanchun's artillery position. And when the Wehrmacht attacked the city just now, in addition to artillery cover and machine guns blocking the firing point, those sharpshooters also attacked the enemy in concealment behind, killing many leaders, leaving the opponent leaderless, and capturing the city pass in chaos, and their own casualties were very light. ”

It turns out that the two representatives who were born as scribes understood the Tao here, but subconsciously thought that this sharpshooter was as unattainable as a hero, and that his own side did not have this kind of talent, so he naturally could not follow the approach of the French Wehrmacht, so it was just an anecdote to listen to the fun. However, this Yun Jie brother is a professional soldier, his vision will not be so short-sighted, in fact, he has vaguely felt that this is a new type of tactic, but he can't imagine how the other party trained so many sharpshooters.

"Brother Yunjie, why are you still here. Oh, three, let's go to the city together, now we have cleared the remnants of the enemy and recovered the county seat of Shanyang. A Wehrmacht officer with the rank of lieutenant came to greet them, although he was warm and polite, but Yun Jiejie always felt that this person lacked the upright spirit of a soldier, but there was an indescribable coldness, as if there was a sinister gaze under his skin watching them.

"That's right, Brother Zhang. I have a reluctant request, and I ask you to be accommodating. When a few people went down the mountain to the gate of the county seat, the cannon that had been blown up on the yard just now had been removed, but the corpses were still there, and they were all over the ground, which made the two literati frown.

"Oh, Brother Yunjie, just talk about it, brother do his best."

"I want to meet with those sharpshooters just now and exchange tactics together, I wonder if your army can make it convenient?"

"It stands to reason that this is a military secret of the Wehrmacht, but since you have opened the golden mouth, brother, I will give it a try. Don't be surprised if you don't succeed. ”

"You're welcome, Yunjie is grateful."

The lieutenant officer left two guards to accompany the Yunnan army officer in the pavilion at the city gate, he first escorted the two literati into the city, settled down, and then went to ask if the sniper could be arranged to meet the Yunnan army officer.

As he had predicted, the matter was immediately agreed to by the commander of the Mountain Division. The lieutenant smiled and immediately arranged for the soldiers of the mountain sniper platoon that had just suppressed the artillery position to meet the Yunnan officer. The reason why he is not strange is because before leaving, Mr. He explained that he must pay attention to this unsurprising, seemingly honest Yunnan army officer, Mr. He revealed that it seems that this Yunnan army officer has entered the sight of the general seat, so as long as his requirements are not excessive, he can try his best to arrange, and try to get as close to him as possible, do not seek rebellion, as long as the relationship is close.

Of course, the lieutenant of the Wehrmacht who was in charge of the reception was not a soldier, his real identity was the leader of the field squadron of the Intelligence Department stationed in the Northwest Station, a seasoned field intelligence officer, and the target who could let him go out in person, of course, the officer of the Dian Army was not a mortal, but at this moment, this Yunjie brother was still waiting stupidly outside the city for his curious sharpshooter.
