"Little Feet?"

The French officers present breathed a sigh of relief, but Montoban did not dare to relax at all: "Order the front-line troops, not afraid of consuming bullets and shells, and strive to wipe out the enemy's reserve forces neatly." ”

Everyone thought that Meng Toban was making a big fuss, and the French army knew the combat effectiveness of the various infantry regiments of the Rainbow Army, and the combat effectiveness of this reserve infantry regiment was as its name suggested, it was a real Chinese woman with small feet, and she was vulnerable: "Commander, we only need an hour to solve these small-footed women!"

Ten minutes later, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the southern direction, like a violent storm, and then like thunder, and the battle line quickly expanded to both flanks, and then a large number of stretchers and wounded on foot were carried down, and shouted: "The rebels are coming, the rebels are coming, thousands of people are coming, and we have been taken away from two battle flags!"

It was the most powerful blow ever delivered by the reserve infantry regiment.

……

Yu Ling's heart lit a fire, so even if he untied the wind and discipline button, he could still feel the anxiety in his heart, this was his last chance with the entire reserve infantry regiment, but this test was so severe.

He walked in the queue of the vanguard battalion, and was even ready to go up with a revolver to engage in hand-to-hand combat, while the adjutant next to him had a complaining tone: "Regiment commander, Brigade Commander Yu is too unwilling to give us regimental face, how to say, your qualifications are much older than his." ”

Yu Lingdong smiled bitterly: "Who called her a superior, it's okay, such a basin of cold water can be poured down, at least everyone can understand what weight they are, we must be sober, we can't be sober, thank you Brigade Commander Zhou!"

The adjutant was still complaining: "However, we are the regiment with the largest strength in the entire Rainbow Army. ”

Although it was reduced to an infantry regiment, the reserve infantry regiment still retained the structure of four infantry battalions, and with the addition of direct troops, the total strength reached 3,000 and 100. Much larger than other infantry regiments, and even larger than some of the newly built infantry brigades, Yu Lingdong knew that this was already a glory of the past.

The reserve infantry regiment could only fight its way out with iron, and he glanced at his adjutant: "It's our turn to sacrifice." But ......"

He thought of a little and said to his adjutant: "You are an only son at home, go to the back echelon, fortunately, let the few people in the camp who are only sons go down with you." ”

Since Yu Ling was ready to sacrifice, the morale of the entire pioneer battalion was unprecedentedly high. The adjutant grabbed Yu Lingdong's hand and said, "Regiment Commander, I will follow you and never take a step back!"

"Thank you!" Yu Lingdong thought of another point: "In that case, you take two infantry companies to assist Zhou Xiuying and Brigade Commander Zhou, she only has two cavalry companies, and there will never be any mistakes." ”

He clearly knew that if Zhou Xiuying had any strengths and weaknesses, their reserve infantry regiment would fight the best. Maybe it's all useless.

It's just that after making up his mind, the sacrifice was not as heavy as imagined, and the four infantry battalions quickly entered the battlefield under the personal command of Yu Lingdong. The French found that the "Small-footed Women's Regiment" in front of them had completely changed their appearance, and attacked with the determination of the tiger to descend the mountain, and they had been fighting with more than one infantry battalion of the Rainbow Army for too long, and they were already quite tired, so after the large number of more than 3,000 troops were invested, the French army suddenly ran into big trouble.

Their battle line retreated several hundred meters at once, and even lost two military flags, and many of the desperate Hongjun positions immediately regained their original fighting spirit after receiving support, especially Zheng Fengxing's division of the 1st Division, after being supported by a multi-infantry company. Immediately pushed back a battalion of French troops who rushed up by hundreds of meters.

Yu Lingdong saw that there were red battle flags everywhere, and considerable progress had been made everywhere, and he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but found that the French army had launched a counterattack. ..., "This is the French army!" With all his might, Montoban struck the retreating French officer with his cane and ordered in a loud voice: "Go back, go back." Take your troops back, the enemy in front of you is a group of small-footed women, are you not even as good as a group of small-footed women? ”

Under his order, the officers of the French army immediately reorganized the attack, but Colonel Yomi had already come over on a war horse with a body of gunsmoke: "Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy in front of me has increased a whole regiment, my regiment has suffered heavy casualties, I must contain the troops and reorganize them to attack again, I apply to contain the troops!"

"Bastard!" Meng Toban's cane struck him directly: "Who told you to retreat?" Give you the right to retreat, this is Napoleon's army, this is the army of France, remember, you carry the expectations of a whole division on your body, and you have in front of you the reserve infantry regiment. ”

He accentuated his tone: "That famous group of small-footed women, that's right, you can't even clean up this group of small-footed women?" I can see very well that they only have a little courage, and when you show the determination and courage of the French men, they will only be defeated!"

"Give me back!" Mentoban's cane struck Colonel Yomi in the face fiercely: "I'll give you fifteen minutes to organize a powerful attack, otherwise you will wait to go to court-martial!"

Colonel Yomi was so blinded by Montoban's cane that he hurried back like a rabbit almost for the first time: "Fifteen minutes, we'll do it again!"

With the passage of time, as Montoban estimated, the performance of the reserve infantry regiment impressed the French, but they only went into battle with their bloody bravery, and now is the time for a real contest of courage and sacrifice.

The French attacked from all sides of the battlefield, and their artillery gave full play to the advantages of high artillery power, long range, large numbers, and accurate shooting, and one French army formation after another also entered the battle, attacking every position held by the Rainbow Army again and again.

This was a test of iron and fire, and the Rainbow troops in some positions put up the most resolute resistance, using rifles, artillery, bayonets, stones, and all the weapons they could use to fight the French, while the Rainbow officers and men in some positions could not withstand such a test, and they abandoned their positions and duties and retreated.

"The two flags we lost were recaptured, and we also captured dozens of prisoners, all officers and soldiers of the Smallfoot Women's Regiment......"

The situation on the battlefield soon changed, and Meng Toban said happily: "No matter how strong a small-footed woman is, she is still just a small-footed woman after all!"

The initial enthusiasm had been burned, and now Yu Lingdong had to face up to reality, his reserve infantry regiment was under attack by an entire French reinforced infantry division, they used all their strength to attack, many positions were lost, some were on the verge of collapse, and even the forward battalion he personally led was in danger.

There was only such a small distance between victory and defeat, and some of the officers and men around him had already panicked, and the loaded bullets were all deformed, and they could not reload a single bullet for half a day.

The stormy guns and bullets caused round after round of casualties in the formation of the second battalion of the reserve infantry regiment, and many officers and soldiers never got up after they fell, and the commander of the second battalion, Liu Lingdong, shouted to Yu Lingdong: "Old brigade commander, we tried our best, but the enemy's strength is too large, let's move closer to the independent regiment!"

Yu Lingdong knew that the independent regiment was only the strength of an infantry battalion, and getting closer to them would not change the situation of the battle, but would make the situation on the entire battlefield worse, so he gritted his teeth and did not answer Battalion Commander Liu's question.

"Old Brigadier!" Battalion Commander Liu roared again: "You have to make a decision immediately!" ..., "What do you call me?" Yu Lingdong suddenly spoke.

"The old brigade commander is here!" Battalion Commander Liu didn't know that Yu Lingdong would ask this question: "Old brigade commander!"

"That's right!" Yu Lingdong decided not to retreat in the direction of the independent battalion, and he shouted: "Tell me, what kind of troops are we?" ”

Even in the midst of the rain of bullets, his voice was still so loud that everyone hesitated for a moment before a few people said, "Reserve Infantry Regiment." ”

"No!" Yu Lingdong was already standing at the front of the formation: "We are a reserve infantry brigade!"

Reserve Infantry Brigade ......

As soon as he heard this name that had disappeared, the officers and men of the entire second battalion were a little stunned, how much he missed this number that they had once disdained.

You must know that the reserve infantry brigade is the fourth infantry brigade in the entire history of the Hong Army, and Yu Lingdong continued: "We used to be a reserve infantry brigade, and now we are a reserve infantry brigade......

"As for the future, it is the fighters of the reserve infantry division, the reserve infantry corps, and the reserve infantry brigade, let's make history with our hands!"

"Assault!"

Yu Lingdong was the first to jump out of the trench, he was very clumsy and rushed towards the formation of the French army with a revolver, the entire second battalion was sluggish at this time, they didn't expect that Yu Lingdong, who was usually very loose, actually charged hundreds of French soldiers alone, and there were hundreds of Mini rifles on the opposite side.

No one followed, and Yu Ling didn't look back, so he rushed towards the French phalanx, and hundreds of Mini rifles fired scorching projectiles at him, fortunately they didn't hit, but it seemed to be a matter of time before they hit.

The entire infantry battalion was on fire, and they shouted: "Assault!"

In the past they were glorious reserve infantry brigades, now they are humiliated reserve infantry regiments, and as for whether they will revoke the number in the future or be more glorious reserve infantry divisions and reserve infantry corps, it depends on their courage and determination, and the entire infantry battalion jubilantly raised bayonets and stabbed them: "Assault!"

The French, known as the "Small-Footed Women", were once again impressed by the French, who pierced into the French phalanx with rows of scorching projectiles, and the two sides collided directly with steel and flesh until the French infantry retreated incredibly.
