In the city of Jilin, the rear route army of the Gao army is no longer stubborn. From the fierce battle in the morning to dusk, the main force of the Gao army was never seen to come back to help. Ji Jinchun also shouted at the right time, asking the first regiment to lay down its arms, and the first regiment decided to surrender as it was not to blame for the past, and the more it fought, the more chilling it became.

In this way, except for the first regiment, which suffered most casualties, most of the baggage and artillery were intact, and the goal of obtaining a complete artillery battalion expected by Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing was achieved.

When the battle on the Jiaohe front line was inseparable, Guo Songling had quietly arrived on the shore of Songhua Lake, which was only five miles away from the battlefield, and with him, there were three cavalry regiments.

Considering the inconvenience of Jilin's terrain and transportation, cavalry is the advantage of galloping. From the moment he decided to encircle and annihilate the Gao Brigade, Zhang Hanqing decided to concentrate all the cavalry and use it as a pawn at a critical moment to break through. In addition, in the event of a rout of the high brigade, the cavalry could also conveniently pursue it. Here, a two-legged man can't outrun a four-legged horse.

Guards Division Cavalry Regiment, 28th Division Cavalry Regiment, 29th Division Cavalry Regiment ... It was integrated into the unified command of Guo Songling.

That's right, Wu Junsheng personally led the main force of the 29th Division back to Heilongjiang, it is true---- victory in the war can already be looked up to, but only Han Linchun's first division in Hei Province is a little insufficient: because the Japanese landed in Vladivostok and forcibly occupied the North Manchurian Railway. Wu Jun was promoted back to the division and had to take care of the Japanese.

In addition, it can also give Gao Shifu an illusion and make him feel a little relaxed. However, due to the suddenness and rapidity of the cavalry, the cavalry regiment of the 29th Division made a big turn. But the horses are fast, and they are still ahead of the curve.

The three-person cavalry regiment heard the sound of the fierce battle between the two sides not far away, and was already so anxious that they jumped to their feet, but Guo Songling was unmoved, he calmly analyzed the information obtained from all sides, and calculated the pros and cons.

The Bureau of Honesty invested almost all of Jilin's manpower in this battle, allowing all kinds of information to be quickly gathered to the various command headquarters, which Gao Jun did not have.

Launching an attack on the enemy's front that is fighting fiercely, replenishing the strength of our army, and breaking the enemy's confidence is an idea that most people have. But in doing so, it will be another round of scuffle, and even if it is won, it will be a crushing victory. And in the conditions of modern warfare, machine guns are a nightmare for massive cavalry. Considering that the enemy is one of the best Beiyang troops in Jilin and even in the northeast, the addition of three cavalry regiments in this way is a bit like a refueling tactic.

Where are the advantages of cavalry? How did the invincible Mongol cavalry defeat millions of infantry from all over the world? How did the Manchu cavalry eat hundreds of thousands of elites in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty in one bite? Take advantage of your cavalry and fight a battle of annihilation in a campaign battle! Attacking fortifications is not the specialty of cavalry.

In order to make use of this specialty, it is necessary to get the enemy army moving. As long as it moves, it is charged by the cavalry, the formation is disrupted, and the command is blocked, and this army is not far from death.

The Fengjun cavalry regiment follows the configuration of the late Qing Dynasty, and is the largest five-company system directly under the central government, with 800 people. How can the three full cavalry regiments be most effective? Guo Songling had no intersection with Zhang Hanqing when he was ordered to enter Jilin to suppress bandits, but he invariably used the method that Zhang Hanqing had just used: attacking the heart.

Two cavalry regiments galloped back and forth towards the high army position on both sides, creating the illusion of encirclement. The dust kicked up and the loud and crisp sound of horses' hooves made the Gao army feel worried: there was invisible dust on both sides, and it was unknown how many enemy troops were on the flank, which made the attacking and defending Gao troops deflated. It just so happened that the dust in the sky covered the Guards Division and the Special Operations Brigade, as well as the eyes of their own commanders and supervisors. Some clever soldiers took advantage of this opportunity, some hid in the grass on the side of the road, some hid behind stones, and some simply threw away their guns.

Gao Shifu completely lost his judgment about the arrival of the cavalry on both flanks. Without the back road of rescue, it will definitely not be able to defeat the two divisions of the fully armed Feng Army, and now that such a cavalry group is participating in the battle, this time I am only afraid of more evil and less auspicious. The point is that it is not clear how many Guards divisions of the army were in front themselves, but there are certainly quite a few of them. If you let the whole division arrive, you really can't go!

The cavalry regiment patrolled for a long time, and made many offensive postures that were eager to try, which not only distracted Gao Shifu, but also inevitably separated some personnel from the mixed brigade in battle to protect the two flanks. The soldiers of the mixed brigade did not dare to let go, and they were always thinking about the sudden blow of the cavalry regiment behind them, which made the regiment of the frontal defense of the guards division feel a lot less pressure. Basically, with one-to-one numbers and combat effectiveness, the defender has to take advantage of a lot.

The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour without progress, and Gao Shifu knew that it was going to be bad. For such a long time, even if the defense was in place, a regiment plus an artillery battalion in the rear was no match for two integrated divisions. The morale of their own soldiers is getting lower and lower, and the key is that there is no hope of victory, there are no reinforcements from outside, and if the stalemate continues, there is only waiting for death.

He decided to make a last-ditch effort and attack with all his might. If it works, everyone is happy; If it doesn't work, you have to look at the right time to plan ahead. He ordered the soldiers on both flanks to ignore the feigned cavalry regiments, leaving only one company each on guard, and the rest all rushed forward.

As soon as the order was given, the officers and soldiers of the mixed brigade rushed forward, they also knew that this was a battle of life and death, and they could still fight, so they mustered up the courage to shout and run forward; Those who don't want to fight and can't slip away are coerced to run forward.

Guo Songling, who was watching the battle, knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and because a company defending on the front was almost a column, as long as it was inserted from a certain direction, they were not capable of resisting the powerful cavalry regiment. As soon as he waved his flag, the two cavalry regiments immediately raised a gust of wind from each side, carrying billowing dust, and cut the mixed brigade into three sections. After a few random shots from the infantry on the frontal defense, they were run over by a flood of horses, and only God knows whether they survived or not.

The advantage of cavalry over infantry was brought into full play, especially in close combat: no firepower, only speed, and the opponent could be torn apart by ramming alone. Think of hundreds of horses whizzing over your head, and what little courage you have will disappear without a trace. Gao Jun, who reacted quickly enough, turned around and ran, fortunately he was able to avoid the first round of killing, and the officers and soldiers who were slow enough to take a beat suffered. You may have a chance to hit a shot or two in a moving target, but if you don't hit the horse, you will be crushed by the galloping horse, not to mention the countless saber-wielding warriors waiting for you behind. Even if you are bold, you can't cope with the sword shadows in all directions alone, and in the era of hot soldiers, it is useless to be a brave man.

After a wave, Gao's army was in chaos. The officers and men of the mixed brigade with blank faces no longer had the courage to pick up their guns when they saw the tragic situation of their comrades-in-arms who were still comrades just now being hacked to death and trampled to death in an instant. They shouted "Surrender with hands up!" while waving sabers at the soldiers of the cavalry regiment! Shoot or kill! Losing the last of their dignity in the shouts, they threw down their guns one by one, raised their hands, and drooped their heads.

After the officers and men of the cavalry regiment recoiled their horses and returned, some of the guns that were thrown slowly, those who resisted stubbornly, and those who were still thinking about what to do were slashed one after another. The speed was too fast, and the cavalry regiment did not have time to think about whether this person was surrendering or fighting, as long as they saw that the two hands were not raised, they would go down with a sword. Of course, there were also a bunch of soldiers who gathered together to block the way of the cavalry, and they were also whistling to cut a way, or were kicked away by the horses. So, the well-behaved Gao Jun honestly scattered and surrendered, trying not to block the way, not to be misunderstood, and not to be targeted.

Failure is contagious. When the friendly forces behind him gave up resistance, the Gao army, who still had a glimmer of luck, resolutely deserted. In just a quarter of an hour, the battlefield that had been killing the sky suddenly fell silent. The battalion that was on the defensive, knowing the result, also quickly lowered its guns.

The battlefield was cleared, and the strength of the two infantry regiments was basically wiped out, excluding the 3,000 killed, 1,500 wounded of all kinds, and 1,500 surrendered.

It's just that the search didn't find Gao Shiwei's whereabouts, and it turned out that when the situation was not good, he and his guard company took the opportunity to slip away. Considering the complex terrain here, the loss of this small army on a battlefield of tens of thousands of people is quite normal. After the fierce battle, not many weapons were captured, but fortunately, a battalion behind the palace captured a dozen machine guns intact, otherwise this battle would have been considered a bad battle.

A brigade commander with a bare pole, just leave, Guo Songling didn't take him seriously. However, if he knew that Gao Shiwei would cause such a big disaster to the Northeast in the future, Senior Commander Guo would probably dig three feet into the ground and find him out.

After the war, many generals had ideas about how to settle the officers and soldiers of the mixed brigade who had surrendered. According to the meaning of Ji Jinchun and Zhang Jinghui, the combat quality and individual ability of the officers and men of the Jilin Mixed Brigade are extremely high, and the defeat this time is not due to the incompetence of the officers and men. Moreover, the wounded on the battlefield are priceless, and if effectively integrated into the troops, the time and expense of training new recruits are eliminated. In this war, they all had a lot of officers and soldiers who lost a lot of officers and soldiers and needed to be replenished, and they all stared at this group of people.

But Zhang Hanqing clearly said "no". He believed that no one in this unit from top to bottom expressed opposition when Gao Shifu was in rebellion, and that it resisted extremely fiercely when the "Wang Division" was dispatched, and that it belonged to Gao Shifu's private soldiers through and through, and the impact caused was extremely bad. The stronger the combat capability of officers and men, the greater the harm they will cause in the future, and this is a typical example of "the stronger the capability, the more reactionary it is." Not only did he not agree with the use of this team, but he also wanted to reform the captives.

This is an old army that has been formed for a long time, and it is inevitable that friendship will be formed in the common life and battle, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of feelings for the comrades who died in battle. Rashly incorporated them into various departments, some time ago they were still fighting each other, but now it is not ordinary to calmly develop brotherly feelings. Rather than sowing the seeds of insecurity, it is better to use them effectively.

According to the successful experience of the Communist Party, labor is the best tool for transforming people. There are countless mines to be cultivated, countless roads to be built, and workers to be paid, and these highly disciplined captives are cheap labor, justifiable executors who do these things. It is better to smooth out their temperament in the course of labor, and to consider it according to their performance. His suggestion was adopted, and in addition to the hundreds of seriously wounded, more than 2,000 prisoners were sent to Changchun to be arranged.
