Afternoon. The cooking team brought two buckets of bacon and rice and a large pot of lamb bone soup from the rear. The soldiers of the Li Zi Battalion used a copper lunch box to hold bacon 'meat' rice. Meimei ate a meal.

". Why haven't we had our food yet?" The elder brother Hu Dagui took off his steel helmet angrily. His logistical transport team. I didn't see a human figure yet. Logistics support capabilities. It's not as good as the sentry officer Li Yunyu. Makes him feel ashamed.

"Hu Yingguan. Before the war, it was not just by giving orders with the mouth. Drills are important. When you get to the battlefield, you can't even find a human figure." Li Yunzhu handed the copper box to Hu Dagui. Foods that can't be eaten. All are divided among the other teams.

"It's not delicious. It's still good to eat at Li Ziying. I'm going back to Guo Shoubei now. I can't get used to it for a while." Hu Dagui gulped it up. The friendship forged between the Brotherhood surrender faction and the Li Zi Battalion. Let two armies. Naturally, they fight side by side.

Li Yunzhu smiled. Said: "Daytime battles. That's it. The Hui army is also testing our reality and reality. It's troublesome at night. I don't know if I'll be able to eat dinner."

"I'm going to eat more now. Two meals and one meal. It's enough to have water to drink at night." Hu Dagui eats desperately. He doesn't have to worry. Now run at the forefront of the battle. At night they will all retreat backwards. Played by other troops to the front station. How can an army fight all day and night. Every unit needs to rest. But there will be no evacuation of the front line either. If the Qing army in front of it can't stand it. Retreat back. Their defense zone is back at the forefront.

"Hey. Killing is a pile of technical work. It's a pity that it can't be used here. Otherwise, the Hui army would have been defeated long ago. Leave it to our slaughter." Li Yunchu looks like a veteran. Look down on the Hui army who fight in the streets. No commander likes to fight in the streets. The results of a war of attrition. Can't show off.

"Hey. The Huizi here is too stubborn. Find your own death. People should still be slick. How nice it is to be like me. Educated in a variety of ideas. I've seen it a long time ago. Officer Li Sentinel, don't listen to Li Guolou's so-called sermons. What kills for the nation. God will forgive you too. This is a foreigner's nonsense. I'm ready to die and enter the eighteenth layer of 'Yin' Cao Difu. The fire is not afraid. Hahahaha."

Hu Dagui laughed and left. Let Li Yunyu involuntarily touch the cross necklace around his neck. The mouth is confessing to God. Heretics do not deserve mercy.

Gunfire roared in my ears. But the old soldiers on the battlefield. There's still a sense of leisure.' Smoking's cigarette and chatting. Soldiers who are accustomed to the sound of gunfire. Don't take the killings around you seriously. It takes time to destroy a fortification of the Hui army. First of all, we must test the arrangement of firepower. Then make the corresponding deployment.

The progress of street fighting is slow. Forward in a moment. A moment of defeat and retreat. The Qing army and the Hui army are stuck together. Fight for fortifications. Use human lives to fill the 'hole'. All of them are mainly contact battles with small forces. The Qing army had an advantage in weapons. And the combat ability of individual soldiers is also higher than that of the Hui army. The staff are all young and middle-aged. The Hui army is three generations of old, middle and young people. Even children do.

Such a brutal war. Explain the situation of Ma Zheng and the reckless army. The Hui people were instilled with the great truth that they should die for national independence. Let the whole city fall into a situation from which it will never recover.

The Hui army is not afraid of death. Maintain a strong counter-attack ability. The Hui army has not yet exhausted its strength. often engaged in 'hand-to-hand' combat with the Qing army. The Battle of Dongzhi County was a veritable war of attrition. It's roughly a three-to-one ratio loss. And the proportion of the Qing army is one percent. Also included are the number of injured people. Other words. The Qing army captured the county seat of Dongzhi. The casualty toll is roughly around five thousand. This is just a theoretical number. Among them, there were also Hui troops who surrendered sporadically on the battlefield. This caused the Qing army's casualty figures to plummet.

No matter how the Hui army fights. This battle of attrition. It will end in a crushing defeat for the Hui army.

Sometimes the Hui army launched a counteroffensive. Hundreds of Hui soldiers will rush out of the alley. The platoon guns didn't 'shoot' two shots. It's about to start a 'hand-to-hand' fight. The Qing army on the front line must not retreat. 'hand-to-hand' combat with a bayonet. The Qing soldiers behind him threw grenades at a rapid pace. And then there are the transport troops. Constant delivery of guns, bullets, grenades. Fighting on the front. Rear move. The wounded were carried off the battlefield. No one cares about the dead. Unless the officer dies in battle. Immediately carried away by the stretcher team.

Returning to the army is to regain lost ground by 'hand-to-hand' combat. The effect is obvious. Many Qing troops suffered defeats. Drop a corpse. Flee the battlefield. Let the battlefield continue to stalemate.

Defeat ahead. The commander in the rear is angry. Some officers were court-martialed. Shoot directly. Guo Baochang changed a group of officers to the front line to command. This is where the ruthlessness of military law manifests itself. The result of escaping back is also death.

"Guo Shoubei. Let me lead the brethren to win back their dignity. I'm not afraid of death." A sentry officer with minor injuries. Said proudly. This kind of time. Don't say anything again. Next it was his turn to be shot.

"I'll give you another sentry soldier. Don't take the position back. Kill yourself." Guo Baochang twisted his eyebrows and dropped the cruel words. Put a revolver. Fiercely placed in front of this officer. What their own relatives. This is the time to be desperate.

"Thank you Guo Shoubei for giving Xia Guan this opportunity. I will not fail in my mission and take back the position." This sentry officer, also surnamed Guo. Pick up the revolver. Rushed out. That's how battle heroes are played. Live to be a hero. Even if you die, you will face the enemy's broadsword.

Li Guolou looked at an officer who had fallen in front of him. The officer who loses two streets is going to die. Sir, don't listen to reason. Guo Baochang led the troops ruthlessly enough. The ruthless soldiers will be ruthless. Cowards fleeing back from the battlefield. Immediately become a godless killer. and to the forefront. Soldiers are easy to train. Train in accordance with the military system of the Chu army. You can become an army in three months. All of them are daredevils. will be hard to find. Through war, a group of generals will stand out. It's worth it for Li Ziying to come to the Great Northwest this time. Talented student soldiers stand out. In the future, they will be the pillars of the country.

"Commander-in-Chief Guo. Xia Guan thought that the shelling of the vicinity of Gong Liu Dian should be stopped. Let the Hui army mistakenly think that our army wants to protect the monuments. The troops of the Hui army will assemble to Gongliudian. In the early morning, heavy artillery fire was applied to Gongliu Dian. It's even better." Li Guolou looked at the map. Another ruthless trick came to mind. The idea of protecting cultural monuments has long been in my mind. Just destroy as many enemies as possible. That's the idea.

"This ······" At this time, Guo Baochang hesitated. Hesitantly said, "Order Xun Xi to stop shelling near Gongliu Palace. Prepare for the heaviest shelling of the vicinity of Gongliu Hall early tomorrow morning. Wait until tomorrow for me to give the final order. Let's see how the battle goes tonight."

Guo Baochang dragged the order by the tail. Didn't say dead. Finally understood that Li Guolou is a two-faced bad guy. What has been said. Never count. That compassion is all pretended to be used to deceive the common people. The bones are 'yin' and vicious.

"Chief Lee. You literati don't like to reminisce about the ancients the most. How can you even think of such a tactic?" Guo Baochang looked at Li Guolou who was staring at the map. I don't understand why Li Guolou would have such an idea of hurting 'yin' morality.

"Commander-in-Chief Guo. It's just an ancient building. We rebuilt an old building that will be built later. It's a crime to struggle with a dead thing. If it's a granary. I'm really reluctant. People-oriented. It's reflected in me. That's what it is. Others speak nicely on their lips. The actual action is to kill the soldiers. Tell me about it. Who is the noble man after all?" Li Guolou's ability to reach the sky. It is to turn the hand into the clouds and cover the hand for the rain. It's good for yourself anyway. Let's just say whichever one. Deeply comprehend the two sides of the 'nature' and the multiple 'nature' of things.

Guo Baochang opened his mouth. The day before, I heard Li Guolou's different ideas. Now he is giving him a new ideological education lesson. Still dissatisfied: "Master Xuezheng. Students should ask for advice. Mr.'s thinking doesn't make sense logically. Aren't you contradicting yourself. How else can you quibble, sir?"

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Commander Guo. I'll tell you. The establishment is a two-faced villain. Whatever is advantageous is taken out and said. It's like the Qing Dynasty signing unequal treaties. It can be called a national disgrace. It can also be called lying on the salary and tasting the gall. Tell the people that this is a compromise. It can even be called a win-win. You don't understand politics. When the battle is over, stay in the barracks and train the soldiers. Don't run out and be embarrassed. Will you learn Zuo Zongtang. If you can't do it, learn from me."

"Lead, lead. I'm still learning and using. Learn a few more tricks from the University of Politics." Guo Baochang clasped his fists and saluted. Get ready for a big fight. Leave a mess for the magistrate.

Collected battle reports. Constantly changing numbers. Counselor Gao summed up a series of numbers. With a smile: "Report to Commander-in-Chief Guo a piece of good news. More than 4,700 Hui troops have been wiped out. More than 500 prisoners of war were captured. Our army has achieved brilliant results."

People in improvised fortifications. They all applauded and stood up. It's not going to be a fuss when you're on the battlefield. The real numbers come to life. It's a day to celebrate. Guo Baochang is in a good mood. The Qing army's firepower completely suppressed the Hui army. The lost ground of street fighting has been regained.

"Deliver this good news to the whole army. Salute to the commanders and fighters on the front line. All troops of the front line . The front stopped attacking before eighteen o'clock. Consolidate the positions of our troops. Don't let the enemy take advantage of it. Shout to the Hui army. Shoot and don't kill. Coercion or not. Kill only the first offender······" A big victory made Guo Baochang happy. He even imposed a leniency policy on the Hui army.

Howitzers, hill-splitting guns dragged to the forward positions. From time to time he roared. The Qing army had artillery to cooperate with the battle. Make strong fortresses vulnerable.

The huge gas 'waves' emitted by the cannonballs can deafen people. Or even hold your breath and die. The smoke of gunfire has not yet cleared. Qing soldiers have stormed the fortress and launched a bloodbath. The bayonet stabbed the fallen Hui army.

Heroes emerge in an endless stream. in every alley. There are hot-blooded men who fight to the death for the reunification of the motherland. The long husband constantly transports grenades. Still not enough for front-line fighters to use . The battle was fought until late in the evening. Fifty thousand grenades have been used. The Qing army in order to reduce casualties. Pathfinder with a grenade. The large 'door' of the room opens. Throw a grenade directly into it.

The roar came and went. The buildings in Dongzhi County are dilapidated. Destroyed by artillery fire. A daytime campaign. Let the Hui army lose half of the city. The mutilated city walls are covered with the battle flags of the Qing army. The snow-capped mountain lion flag. Fluttering in the evening breeze. That scene inspired every Qing soldier. Foreshadowing the master of the city. That has changed. The eagle battle flag on the position of the recalcitrant Hui army. Weak sagging.

The remnant sun is like blood. Sunset over Dongzhi County. Very spooky. It's reddish and black. Layers of clouds. It seems to be a lotus 'flower' platform. The undead who have died beyond the dead.

Dusk is coming. All of a sudden. The echo of the suona resounded throughout the sky over Dongzhi County. The Qing army actually died in the overkill of the Hui soldiers. That ethereal scream. It makes people unable to rejuvenate their fighting spirit. Immersed in the mourning of his comrades.

Shamanic shaman jumping next to a corpse. Shaking the bell. Beyond the undead.

Guo Baochang, who is familiar with military books, is embattled. The trick of ambush on all sides to deal with the stubborn Hui army. Break down the fighting spirit of the Hui army as much as possible. Don't let the Hui army, who is on the verge of death, make a ruthless move to burn the 'jade' stone.

Congratulations began to be sung on the battlefield." Fellow Hui soldiers. Shoot and don't kill. Coercion or not. Only kill the first offender."

"Here's the steamed buns." A Qing soldier added. Dinner is the best reward.

A large number of Qing troops immediately responded." Here are steamed buns. Fellow Hui soldiers. Shoot and don't kill. Coercion or not. Only kill the first offender."

Li Guolou bites the steamed bun. Nodding his head, he said, "Commander Guo. You're clever at it. Who taught you this trick with suona? There's a bit of an ovary in there."

"Do you want to be taught? There's a lot of scheming in my head. If we are enemies. You're going to die with me." Guo Baochang eats steamed buns. Think of yourself as a genius.

Li Guolou spies on Guo Baochang's moves. Could it be that Guo Baochang wants to rebel. Laugh and laugh. It's just a joke. Who will take it seriously. As long as Zuo Zongtang is dead. No one can beat him. People with strategic vision. It can only be politically long and short. Fight with Zuo Zongtang on the battlefield. Won nine battles. He will be counted to death. He won't rebel.

The night is coming. The power of the artillery in the night battle has been drastically reduced. Then came the 'hand-to-hand' combat in the improvised fortifications.

The Qing army consisted of ten men per army. There are at least two to three veterans. These veterans. Don't be afraid of death. Dare to fight 'hand-to-hand'. Recruits are led into battle by veterans. After a baptism of artillery fire. Those recruits become dead soldiers who dare to fight 'hand-to-hand'.

Night battles are the most tests of the will and quality of the army. A team that dares to fight at night. can be regarded as brave and tenacious.
