Chapter 331: Battle of Honor (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
γ It was the first time for Juton to take on such an important position independently, and Qu Jie had always been regarded as a middle-of-the-road material in the past, but under his leadership, the Dragon Lance Brigade had always been smooth sailing, and there had never been a big leak.
But he has only been acting as a brigade commander for a few days, and the big leak has already come out of two, in fact, three! In this raid on the periphery, hundreds of Qing troops successfully broke through under the combined attack of the dragon spear brigade, and almost no troops were lost, but he did not report this matter.
Not only was Zhu Dun dissatisfied, but the officers of the Dragon Lance Brigade all turned their heads to the command of the acting brigade commander, and some people even said strange things: "Both times it was a problem of the second battalion, Yanzhou is the second battalion of the teaching regiment, and Quzhou is the second battalion of the first regiment, brigade commander, you have to keep the second battalion as a reserve!" β
But the next moment Juton had made up his mind, and he said: "I am responsible for all the command responsibilities, and now we have no room to retreat!" The Yanzhou side is in charge of the Nanxi Brigade, and we want to annihilate all Deng Shaoliang's troops, if we can't take it, we can only let His Royal Highness Yiwang come down to attack Quzhou City! β
"Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? That's not going to work! An officer had already shouted: "When has our dragon lance brigade ever lost a man?" β
"Yes! The Dragon Lance Brigade can't lose such a big person, our Rainbow Army, except for the Dragon Lance Brigade, is just tens of thousands of recruits! β
"When it's critical, we must look at our dragon lance brigade!"
"Good! Juton, you go to our regiment to press the formation, and I go to the battalion to suppress the formation! If we don't take Quzhou City, our Dragon Lance Brigade will not retreat! β
Zhu Dun also said: "No matter how many troops # Yu Shaoliang has in the city and how closely deployed he is, this Quzhou is our dragon spear brigade!" β
"I can't take Quzhou City, I ask you to kill my head, but I also want to kill the head of your regiment commander, and the regiment commander wants to bring the head of the battalion commander to ......"
This is definitely a decision, all the officers stood up and shouted with passion: "My dragon spear brigade is invincible, and only one Deng Shaoliang is not a problem!" β
Frustration, on the contrary, made them more and more courageous!
On the side of the Nanxi Brigade, it was a different scene, Zhou Xiuying galloped over with a few horses, and the entire Nanxi Brigade had already welcomed her with military salutes and applause.
"Xiaomei?" Zhou Xiuying saw Bao Meiying for the first time: "How was the fight?" β
Over there, Huo Qiu had already urged him to come up: "On behalf of the entire Nanxi Brigade, I want to ask for credit from Commander Zhou and the inspection point for Deputy Company Commander Bao, in this battle, the cavalry regiment is the first in the combat merit of our cavalry company, and it has made the first contribution to our army's total annihilation of Li Yuandu and the 6,000 Anyue Army!" β
One "first merit", and another "first merit", which made Zhou Xiuying's face look happy, she patted Bao Meiying on the shoulder: "I'm not wrong, I'm good!" β
Bao Meiying had tears in her eyes, but she didn't know how to say it, Zhou Xiuying had already said: "Over there in the punishment camp, you don't have to worry, it's on me, this time it's a good performance, Brigade Commander Huo, really annihilated Li Yuandu's Anyue army?" β
Huo Qiu said very happily: "That's right, this is true news!" β
"Deputy Company Commander Zhou found in the reconnaissance that the enemy Li Yuandu's Anyue army headquarters camp was hastily built, and there were no fortifications and the vigilance was extremely lax, after I received this information, I lost no time in launching an attack, and after an hour and a half of fighting, I have annihilated all 6,000 enemy Li Yuandu's Anyue army, except for Li Yuandu and dozens of others who fled, the rest of the enemy troops were all annihilated!"
In fact, Li Yuandu's An Yue army still escaped a lot, even if the Hong army invested a cavalry company to join the pursuit, but the rout of thousands of people, how could it be so easy to intercept it, but even so, Huo Qiu and the officers of the Nanxi Brigade were extremely satisfied.
This is the most glorious battle in the history of the Nanxi Brigade!
The casualties of the Nanxi Brigade in the entire battle were less than eighty, while the captured Qing troops reached more than 4,000, and the weapons and baggage were countless, and Zhou Xiuying immediately asked a crucial question: "How is the morale of the troops?" Can you still fight? ββ¦,
Yun Tianzong was the first to answer: "If the Dragon Lance Brigade needs our support, our entire brigade can immediately enter the battle!" β
Strictly speaking, there are now a lot of people guarding the prisoners, and the captured Qing army has reached 4,000, which exceeds the strength of the Dragon Lance Brigade to participate in the battle, and the Nanxi Brigade is at most the strength of a reinforced regiment, but the officers all raised their heads in response to Yun Tianzhong: "The whole brigade can immediately enter the battle!" β
"Where does the Dragon Lance Brigade need support, we can go over immediately!"
"Rest assured, Head Zhou! We suffered less than 50 casualties in this battle, and the soldiers thought that this battle was too easy! β
Zhou Xiuying nodded: "There has been a major change in Yanzhou, the second battalion of the second regiment of the dragon lance brigade has suffered a serious setback, has withdrawn from the capital city of Jiande, retreated to Shouchang County, and has less than three hundred personnel with combat effectiveness, the situation is very critical, in view of this, the inspector asked me to come over and announce the order!" β
"The Nanxi Brigade immediately attacked in the direction of Yanzhou!" Zhou Xiuying said: "If the second brigade is insufficient, then immediately interrupt the Yanqu Campaign, you have confidence that there is no confidence!" β
"Yes!" The officers of the Nanxi Brigade let out an earth-shattering shout, and some officers said loudly: "Go to Yanzhou, we will go to Yanzhou immediately, the prisoners can be wanted, and the baggage can be wanted, but we must catch up with this Yanzhou battle!" β
Some officers simply cried, and the people next to them persuaded: "What are you crying for, this is a good thing!" β
But the tears on his own face couldn't stop flowing out, everyone hugged and made trouble, and the whole scene was chaotic and full of passion.
Although it is also the fist unit of the Rainbow Army, the Nanxi Brigade has been separated from the Dragon Lance Brigade from the day it was established, but the Dragon Lance Brigade, as the No. 1 main force of the Rainbow Army, has always been in front of the Nanxi Brigade.
That's right! In any aspect, the Dragon Lance Brigade is the best and most perfect, and when everyone mentions the Nanxi Brigade, they often only have the impression of being the second in a thousand years.
The cadres of the Nanxi Brigade have long had a breath in their hearts, this is not schadenfreude, but they want to conquer everyone with a perfect performance!
Now is a godsend, Huo Qiu over there has already said: "Okay! Commander Zhou, our brigade will set off immediately, please rest assured, the Nanxi brigade is reliable at all times, and we have covered the battle on the Yanzhou side! β
"We've got it! We must destroy all the enemies over there! β
"Zhang Yuliang, right? The old opponent is defeated, and it is not enough to worry about it! β
Zhou Xiuying said: "The meaning of the inspection is to let you stop it on the front line of Shouchang!" β
"No!" Yun Tianzong has already said: "The task of this brigade is to cleanly and completely annihilate the enemy troops who invaded Yanzhou Mansion, and restore the entire territory of Yanzhou in the shortest possible time!" β
"But you only have one Nanxi group, and the Ox Knife Regiment is still in Chuzhou!" Zhou Xiuying immediately said: "The troops are not enough!" β
"The 3rd Infantry Regiment is enough!" Yun Tianzong represented his own infantry regiment and promised: "We are the Nanxi Regiment!" β
The cadres of the Nanxi Brigade are also eager to fight: "No matter how many Qing demons come, whether it is Hu Xingren or Zhang Yuliang, they will be defeated by our men!" β
Zhou Xiuying discovered for the first time that these cadres of the Nanxi Brigade had the same pride as the cadres of the Dragon Lance Brigade, but in the past, their pride was well concealed.
"Good!" Zhou Xiuying has already said: "I am responsible for the aftermath of the battlefield and the reception of prisoners here, our regiment has just been assigned to an infantry battalion, and we will be in charge, you can dispatch as many troops as possible, let me see your honor and victory!" β
"You deserve the captives, the weapons, and the baggage, and I will hand them over to you as they are!" Zhou Xiuying continued: "Let's embark on the journey, warriors of the Nanxi Brigade"
The whole battle has turned into a battle of honor between the Dragon Lance Brigade and the Nanxi Brigade.
"Sure enough, it's a red thief, it's really a red thief!" ..., although Jiande, the capital of Yanzhou, was defeated, but Hu Xingren was already shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Rainbow Army, and the Rainbow Army participated in the battle of only a few hundred, but in the whole battle, they fought so tenaciously, whether it was their weapons, combat effectiveness or other aspects, they left a deep impression on the new Zhejiang political envoy.
Other troops did not know the casualties, his Renzi Fifth Battalion alone suffered more than 400 casualties, and the losses on Zhang Yuliang's side would not be small, even so, the Hong Army finally successfully withdrew from Jiande County with most of the wounded and heavy weapons.
No wonder this red thief has risen for less than a year, but he has already won most of Zhejiang Province, and such combat effectiveness is definitely impressive.
He even lost a lot of confidence in Deng Shaoliang and Li Yuandu, the two sworn brothers who went to rescue Quzhou Mansion next, but an infantry battalion is already so capable of fighting, there are at least seven or eight infantry battalions of the Hong Army in Quzhou Mansion, and his fourth battalion of Renzi will not become a meat bun and fight dogs.
Over there, Zhang Yuliang had already walked in with a body of dust: "Fan Division, when are you going south?" β
"To the south?" Hu Xingren hesitated: "Go southγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Originally, the Jiande county town should be taken in one go, and the Shouchang county town should be taken directly, and then the troops could enter the Quzhou capital, but the Qing army is the Qing army after all, especially the Renzi Fifth Battalion suffered more than 400 casualties, and the normal situation has to go down to reorganize the troops, fortunately, this time Hu Xingren took them to rescue Deng Shaoliang and Li Yuandu, these Hunan villagers, so the morale is not bad.
As for those green battalion soldiers and Tu Yong who came with them, they were even more frightened by such a fierce battle, they only played the role of waving flags and shouting on the battlefield, and several times hundreds of Qing troops were straddled by one or two squads of rainbow troops.
In this case, Hu Xingren really didn't have the courage to go south, and Zhang Yuliang continued: "The thieves who retreated to Shouchang have only two or three hundred troops, and they have been defeated. β
Do you want to go south? Hu Xingren was very hesitant about this question, when he set off, he kept saying to rescue # Yu Shaoliang and Li Yuandu, the two righteous brothers, and he was also a heroic conflict at that time!
But now that he understands the true combat strength of the red thief, he can't make up his mind to go south!
