In this fierce battle, the machine guns were hot, and the rifle bullets of one base were almost exhausted.

Having experienced the Russo-Japanese War, Seiki Katsutoshi sensed that an opportunity had come, and he ordered the cavalry of the second echelon to be quickly formed to charge. As long as the second attack is immediately thrown in without hesitation during this interval, it will certainly be possible to break the defensive line of the Feng army on the opposite side. If there is a third attack, it can completely break this team.

It's just a pity that this is just a theory.

Yes, General Nogi Noshinori, who commanded the Japanese Army in the Battle of Arthur, used his life to sweep the 203 Heights and successfully end the Russo-Japanese War.

But he didn't know that in this dog-eat-dog battle that killed 56,000 Japanese soldiers, Nogi's performance was so bad that even Aritomo Yamaprefecture, who strongly recommended Nogi, couldn't stand it, and advocated that Nogi be removed from his post and investigated the cause of his defeat. However, Emperor Meiji rejected Yamagu's proposal in order to ensure that the civilian army would blindly obey the emperor's beliefs. Nogi is just a so-called military god artificially created by Japanese officials, and modern Japanese historians basically have a negative attitude towards his martial arts, especially the command of the battles of the Russo-Japanese War. Some of the more radical ones, such as Ryotaro Sima, simply called him a foolish general, and the affirmation and boasting of Nogi before the war was in fact a man-made myth advocating foolish loyalty to the emperor.

The Pakistani bandit army instigated by Russia did not have the stupid loyalty and ruthlessness of the old Japanese army, so naturally they could not resist steel with flesh and blood. The already frightened bandit army is not willing to be the soul of the meat grinder anyway, the large crimson corpses on the grassland alone are enough to kill, and they have to be sent to the front to die, and they dare not shoot steel bullets head-on? you!

For the first time, Babu Zabu was defeated to the point of discouragement, defeat to the point of helplessness, defeat to the point of chilling to the bones, and he felt that he could not play anymore. Before the bandit army commotioned, he stopped the second offensive of Qing Yu Shengmin, and decided to withdraw the whole army from the siege and retreat to Tuquan.

It was getting late, and Tan Hai also decided to rest on the spot for the special operations team. It is not unthinkable to take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, but considering that the special operations brigade has already carried out a rapid march of 300 miles before the first battle after its formation, the men and horses are seriously fatigued, and the important thing is that the bandit army has been blocked at the entrance of the passage to the west, and the pre-war deployment of the anti-bandit headquarters has been carried out. Forget it, suppress the bandits, let's wait for the large army to meet before coming, but we can't break them up, because this will not achieve the goal of total annihilation decided before the war, and it will not be beautiful.

The soldiers of the Yi Army stared blankly at the officers and soldiers of the special combat team, who only nodded to them in a friendly manner, and then found a large open space on the street, and threw themselves into the fiery work of setting up camp.

What kind of troops are these? A cavalry company of more than 100 people dared to enter and exit several times, killing dozens of times his own bandit camp and causing the other party to be scattered; Another strange scar army actually wiped out the opponent's living force in a short period of time, and easily defeated the bandit army that beat itself not long ago and couldn't find the north not long ago, and forced the other party to flee in embarrassment!

Commander Song Jiuling couldn't sit still, he didn't dare to pinch the captain's shelf, and asked Tan Hai politely: "Contemptible Song Jiuling, which team is this commander of Zhang Dashuai?" ”

From Wang Wensheng's mouth, Tan Hai also probably knew the "combat power" of the Yi Army, and he didn't want to look at these armies that were not even as good as bandits. Because the young marshal also denied the world's army, and also lamented the rapid degradation of the Yi army, and his words were not worried about the Yi army. But when Song Jiuling came to him, he still had a good impression of the rather imposing middle-aged officer in front of him. Judging from the appearance and posture of the army, this is a little different from the Yijun I just saw, so the tone is also polite.

He replied kindly: "The commander doesn't dare to be, we are the troops of the young marshal of the Bandit Suppression Headquarters, and we are the battalion commander in Xia Tanhai." "The special operations team was given a confidential task at the beginning of its construction, so Tan Hai would not expose his number.

Song Jiuling's breathing intensified: "Is it the legendary Guards Brigade and the Student Army?" ”

Tan Hai nodded proudly: "Yes." ”

Song Jiuling was surprised and said, "How many young marshals are there in a unit like Battalion Commander Tan who can fight?" ”

Tan Hai doesn't know why, but the army, of course, pick up what can be said, and say it bigger, so that it can boost morale, and the two can also frighten the enemy, right? He smiled modestly and said, "In an army like Tan, there are no less than fifty young marshals. ”

Fifty battalions, that's 15,000 people, that's the scale of the division! In just a few months, the young marshal was able to pull up such a big shelf and had such amazing combat effectiveness, Song Jiuling was drunk. He whispered: "I am the commander of the third regiment of the right post of the Yi Army, and I want to defect to the young marshal, but I don't know if there is a way?" He explained: "I have long heard that the young marshal led a new army, and Song has always been suspicious. After looking at General Tan's troops today, I knew that the young marshal was really the dragon and phoenix among people. To be honest, for the old and backward army of the Yi Army, Song didn't want to stay for a day. ”

Tan Hai thought about it and said truthfully: "I don't dare to be self-dedicated." Captain Song's words, Tan can deliver the words. But until it's decided, only I know about it. As a senior officer of the Guards Brigade, Tan Hai knew that in the secret conception of the Guards Brigade, Zhang Hanqing believed that the first task of the Feng army was to take the northeast, and before completing this task, the Feng army tried not to provoke any force. He didn't know the truth of Song Jiuling, but Jiang Gui, the commander of the Yi Army, was the commander of Rehe, and if this Song regiment leader really defected to the Feng army, it would be difficult to guarantee that something would happen.

Song Jiuling nodded, this is Lao Cheng's approach. He knew that the other party's lord would not be so gullible to him, so he had to give a greeting gift, a letter of nomination or something, right? The young marshal and others have prepared such an army so deliberately, I am afraid it is not as simple as protecting the territory and the people. Turf, only the battle for turf is their goal.

In the distance, there was the sound of the Yi army soldiers and Feng Jun talking, Song Jiuling didn't dare to delay for too long, he only said softly: "Please tell the young marshal that if necessary, Song will become his solid arm in Rehe and Chahar." ”

Who is Song Jiuling, it is estimated that Tan Hai has never heard of it before this, but this does not delay his vigilance on this matter. Judging from Song Jiuling's general description, he should be able to contribute to the young marshal in the future---- if anything, Rehe and Chahar.

For the average Resolute Army, they hadn't seen such a war-like army for decades. In the vicinity of the camps of the two armies, a soldier of the Yi Army asked the officers and men of the Guards Brigade: "You are so desperate to fight in battle, how much ocean will the commander reward?" ”

It happened that Li Debiao was patrolling the camp, and after listening to it, he laughed, and he said disdainfully: "We are the people's army, and it is our duty to protect our family and defend the country, what does it have to do with how many oceans?" To tell you the truth, we only have meritorious service or not, and there is no reward, and the Guards Brigade has never engaged in this set! ”
