Chapter 279 Hardened the village and fought in a daze

The graduates of the Zenye Military Academy responded to Liu Chang's speech with cheers, and they shouted, "Hooray! Banzai! ”

They cheered loudly, and some people even shouted loudly to the thunderous drums: "Check to be the Son of Heaven, Check to be the Son of Heaven!" ”

Most of them are the children of Taizhou squires and local tyrants, at least they can also learn literature and ink for the first time, and some of them can even be literary and martial arts before entering the school, and they usually lead one hundred and eighty people.

And now, although the position of the probationary platoon commander seems a bit low, it is only the position of a deputy platoon commander, but among the dozens of people in the entire infantry platoon, they can be regarded as important figures, and they are still considered protégés of the Son of Heaven.

In addition to serving as probationary platoon commanders, there are also some outstanding graduates who are directly assigned to the headquarters of infantry battalions and infantry regiments, and even one or two particularly excellent ones who are directly serving as deputy company commanders, in addition to dozens of others who remain in the school as instructors.

As for the trainees of the two administrative cadre companies, they are even more sought-after goods, everyone is short of administrative cadres, if it is not for Liu Chang who has designated the assigned units in advance, otherwise all counties in Jinhua Mansion will be able to snatch up this batch of graduates.

Everyone was generally satisfied with their distribution, so Liu Chang's speech could get so much cheer, but Liu Chang continued: "Now you go to various units, you must ......"

It's just that Liu Chang just talked about this, and someone over there has already reported an emergency: "Check, emergency military situation, emergency military situation from Zhuji County, the attack of the main force of the Nanxi Regiment on Bao Village is not satisfactory, although hundreds of enemies have been annihilated, but the progress is not satisfactory, it is estimated that the battle will not be solved today!" ”

Liu Chang only temporarily interrupted his speech and shouted loudly to the students: "Do a good job, disband!" What the hell is going on? ”

Liu Chang felt that he had paid enough attention to Bao Village, but he didn't expect that there were still some mistakes, and when he attacked a small Bao Village with the main force of the Nanxi Regiment, there would be setbacks: "What's the matter?" How did Huo Qiu do it? ”

Soon he learned the specific situation, this time it was based on the Nanxi regiment, and the newly formed infantry battalion was assigned to the backbone to attack Shaoxing Mansion, Huo Qiu himself attached great importance to Bao Village, he decided to bypass Bao Village with the strongest Nanxi Battalion, directly copied Shaoxing County, and attacked Bao Village with three infantry battalions and regimental artillery companies as the backbone.

With this troop allocation, even Liu Chang himself can't find fault with it, using three infantry battalions and a regimental infantry company to attack a small Bao Village, how can there be no mistakes, right?

Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom claimed to have taken hundreds of thousands of troops seven months to break through Baocun in history, Liu Chang estimated that this statement was exaggerated, even if the Taiping army participating in the war coerced a large number of people, but tens of thousands of people could be regarded as the top of the sky, not to mention the local literature in Shaoxing Prefecture claiming that the Taiping army would rather lose Tianjing and take Baocun, which is definitely an exaggeration.

The weight of Tianjing in the Taiping Army is by no means imaginable by ordinary people, as soon as they heard that Tianjing had fallen, Chen Decai's 200,000 Taiping Army collapsed in a short period of time, Chen Decai committed suicide by taking poison, and even many old brothers in Guangdong surrendered to the Qing army, only Lai Wenguang and a small part persisted, but even Lai Wenguang's subordinates had a large number of generals who tried to surrender to the Qing army.

But this Bao Village is indeed a major obstacle to Liu Chang's conquest of Shaoxing Mansion, Liu Chang never expected that with three infantry battalions as the backbone and a large number of troops, it could not be solved in one day.

But he quickly calmed down: "It's okay if you can't solve it in one day, who is in command in front?" Is it Huo Qiu himself? Okay, let him calm down, don't fight! ”…,

Now the troops are not too far from Zhuji, so he soon ordered: "Let Battalion Commander Zhou Xiuying prepare." ”

Over there, Zhou Xiuying had already asked about the specific scale of this sortie: "Checkpoint? Do you want the whole battalion to go out? ”

During the war, marching in an enemy area like Shaoxing Mansion, although Liu Chang was used to being simple, he also had to bring some more cavalry in case of accidents: "No, send a cavalry company!" ”

An hour later, specific news soon came, first of all, the news that the Nanxi battalion had passed on a fast horse in Shaoxing Mansion that they had attacked the county seat of Shaoxing and were dealing with Xie Jing's Huang Touyong.

This is almost the only regimental Yong with combat effectiveness in Shaoxing Prefecture, but compared with the Hong Army, it is the feeling of being a quick knife, and the Nanxi Battalion is worried that it will not be able to solve all of Xie Jing's Huangtou Yong in the county, and the rout will have an impact on public security.

Further news also came from the direction of Baocun, and it turned out that Liu Chang's judgment was correct, Baocun was indeed a strong enemy of the Hong Army to capture Shaoxing Mansion, and had previously carried out comprehensive intelligence collection on Baocun's Bao Lishen group.

But it turns out that the situation has not been collected enough, the strength of Bao Lishen's armed small group is beyond the estimate of the Nanxi Regiment, originally in Huo Qiu's estimate, Bao Lishen's magic stick can mobilize two thousand Ding Zhuang at most is the limit, and these two thousand Ding Zhuang may not be fully armed.

However, in today's battle so far, the Bao Lishen army engaged in the battle with the Hong Army should have exceeded 3,000 people, and not only equipped with a large number of bird guns, lifting guns and mountain splitting guns, but even equipped with a small number of flintlock guns.

Now the eyes of these students and officers around Liu Chang are lit up, and the inspection is really like a god, and it is thousands of miles away!

When the Shanye Military Academy was first established, all units were complaining that there were too many cadres, but now there are six or seven hundred cadres in the first phase alone, and the second and third students are constantly solving the cadre problem.

And the previous time Liu Chang thought that Bao Cun Bao Li's armed forces were the number one opponent of the Hong Army to occupy Shaoxing Mansion, when Liu Chang said this judgment, no one believed that it was true, but now the facts have proved it.

Huo Qiu personally led three infantry battalions and 2,000 troops to attack Baocun, but there was no way to take it down in one day, and if he sent a newly formed independent battalion over, he might suffer a big loss.

It's just that there is such a god-like inspection, and it is only a matter of days before the Hongjun takes the two mansions of Ningshao.

Someone immediately asked if he wanted to use the Panshi Regiment as the general reserve, but Liu Chang replied: "To solve a small Bao Village, we need to use two infantry regiments, then our Hongjun can go back to Jinhua directly, and tell the Panshi Regiment not to move!" ”

……

Another morning had come, and the sun had risen.

Last night, the gunfire on the side of the Bao Village Army did not stop, and the Hong Army also adjusted the defense line at night.

Huo Qiu was already holding a pistol and said: "Yesterday's battle was a bastard of me, the head of the regiment, who lost the face of our Nanxi regiment, but today everyone has to fight for breath!" ”

Zheng Zhangyu, the commander of the second battalion below over there, said: "Don't worry, when will our Nanxi regiment pass the soft egg, we will definitely take it down today!" ”

As he was talking, someone on the other side had already said, "The inspector is coming, the inspector is coming!" ”

"Check!" Huo Qiu was already a little nervous and asked, "Why are you here!" Our Nanxi group can solve the problem! "...," is the solution to the problem! Liu Changfeng walked in and told Huo Qiu not to be nervous: "I'll only bring my ears today, how to fight, you decide!" ”

But the fact that Guang Liu Chang was personally in command could make Huo Qiu nervous, and he hurriedly said, "The battle must be resolved today!" ”

"Don't worry, you can't solve the battle today, you will solve it tomorrow!" Liu Chang told Huo Qiu: "If you can't solve it tomorrow, you can do it the day after tomorrow!" What we want to avoid is indifferent casualties, what about the situation in Bao Village? ”

According to him, according to the data from yesterday's survey, there are about 3,300 people in Baocun and the nearby regiments, which is more than the number of the original survey, and among them are both stubborn people who have been fighting against the Hong Army for a long time, and there are many outlaws who have been confused by Bao Li, plus some of the nearby regiments have moved closer to Bao Village, so the total number is between 3,500 and 700.

Although Huo Qiu brought three infantry battalions, he only invested most of the strength of the two infantry battalions yesterday, and the number of participants was less than 1,000, and he attacked three times the enemy with less than 1,000 men, so the progress of the battle was not satisfactory.

But if you want to talk about the problem that gives Huo Qiu a headache, Guan Jian or the regimental Yong here in Bao Village used a new tactic: "If it is a field battle, how can our three battalions eat and wipe out these 3,000 people, but these regiments are not like our field battles, but they have built countless camps, and laid countless trenches, walled walls, horse rejection and other types of fortifications, relying on the bases to fight fiercely with our army, and as a result, it is not easy for our regiment to give full play to its advantages in firepower and mobility." ”

As soon as Liu Chang heard it, he summed up Bao Village's tactics: "Da Xiu is just six words, right?" Tie the hard village, fight in a daze! ”

Huo Qiu just wanted to find words to describe the tactics of this village army, and when he heard the six words Liu Chang said, he immediately nodded again and again: "That's right!" That's right, the inspection is well summarized, it's these six words, hard village, stupid battle! ”

Liu Chang immediately said: "I thought that I had to fight Ningshao and the two mansions to see such a tactic, but I didn't expect it to be in advance, this is the tactics of the Hunan army Zeng Guofan!" Take me to see the camp that Bao Li has set up! ”
