Touch! ”

"Whoosh!"

A six-pounder cannon of the Qing army suddenly exploded, bursting out nearly 100 small lead and pebbles weighing five coins, and immediately seven or eight soldiers of the Tiance Army fell in a pool of blood.

"Son of a bitch!" The nearby Tiance Army scolded angrily.

"Da Da Da!" "Da Da Da!" Automatic rifles and submachine guns swept wildly, and the Qing troops who opened fire were beaten into a hornet's nest.

"Big Bull!"

"Kuroko!"

Several soldiers of the Tiance Army attached themselves to check on their comrades who had been shot, and shouted loudly.

……。

"Report to the instructor, my attacking unit encountered a sneak attack by the Qing army, and the second company of the second battalion of the first regiment of the second brigade was killed three and four were seriously wounded."

"Report to the instructor, the first company of the second battalion of the second regiment of the first brigade, two killed and five seriously wounded."

"Report Instructor ,......。" The operational staff officer reported to instructor Wu Zhengchun.

Unlike other armies, the Tiance Army had a very low casualty rate in previous battles, and often ended the battle with zero casualties in large-scale wars. Therefore, the Tiance Army attaches great importance to the casualties of soldiers, and once there are casualties among soldiers, they must report to the political chief of the army as soon as possible.

A cold sweat broke out on Wu Zhengchun's forehead, and he said loudly to the combat staff officer: "Let the medical team arrange an ambulance as soon as possible to transfer the wounded back for timely treatment, and bring back the dead soldiers as well." ”

"Yes!" The operational staff officers are on the right track.

Wu Zhengchun couldn't help but be nervous, not long after the battle began, the number of dead had exceeded ten, and the number of serious injuries had reached twenty-three, which had already broken the record of the Tiance Army's previous wars.

The Third Division has only four field ambulances in one division, each of which can carry four wounded people, which is owned by the divisional medical team.

"Zixuan, let the officers and soldiers on the front line fight steadily, what our army does not lack is time." Wu Zhengchun said sadly to Li Zixuan.

Li Zixuan said: "Old Wu, I have heard the casualties just now, and I have just used the walkie-talkie to inform the brigades and regiments to slow down the attack. ”

Among the three division-level officers of the Third Division, Li Zixuan is the youngest, 22 years old this year, instructor Wu Zhengchun is 26 years old, and Chief of Staff Sun Shengjie is 23 years old.

Sun Shengjie suggested: "Otherwise, suspend the attack, shell for another hour, or order the air force to bomb." ”

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers......!" Li Zixuan didn't continue, because Wu Zhengchun's face was no longer good-looking.

Although it is true that Ci is not in charge of the troops, it is not very applicable in the Tiance Army, because the casualties of the troops are already an indicator to measure the various departments of the Tiance Army. Commander Wang Yue also mentioned a guiding ideology, that is, to save oneself to destroy the enemy, and to sacrifice meaninglessly and stupidly.

Li Zixuan paused for a moment and said, "Old Wu, I suggest using the barrage Xu Jin method to defeat the enemy in front of you." ”

"I'm against it!" Wu Zhengchun objected without thinking about it: "Our army does not invest much time in the training of barrage Xu Jin, and this combat method is very likely to cause accidental injuries. ”

Barrage is a method of artillery support, which originated in the First World War, and was mainly used when the enemy's defenses formed a trench system. To put it simply, the attacking troops marched along with the extended artillery fire, and when the enemy was stunned by the artillery fire and should not react, the attacking troops rushed to the enemy and slaughtered wantonly.

This tactic has high requirements for infantry and artillery coordination, and the Tiance Army does not invest much in training in this area, because the enemy in this time and space does not have strong firepower worthy of the Tiance Army's practical use of this tactic.

"Report to the division commander, judging from the images sent back by the drone, the Qing army is sending thousands of reinforcements along the trench communication road. After zooming in on the picture, it was found that these Qing soldiers were carrying a lot of bottles and cans, which may be homemade bombs similar to those of 10,000 enemies. The combat staff officer came over and reported.

"Oh, has Jiannu increased its troops? Judging from today's battle situation, such a soil bomb as 10,000 enemies does not pose a threat to our army, and Jiannu is too irrational. ”

Li Zixuan didn't take these thousands of Qing troops in his eyes. Because of the casualties reported back just now, none of them were caused by 10,000 enemies.

The 10,000-strong enemy is a kind of earthen bomb thrown after igniting the fuse, and it is black powder, which is not very powerful, and it is difficult for the 10,000-strong enemy to be thrown at the feet of the Tiance army under the blows of various weapons of the soldiers of the Tiance Army. Even if it is thrown, it is easy to guard, and the Qing army's 10,000-strong enemy lead line has a long delay, and it is full of smoke, which is enough for the soldiers of the Tiance Army to dodge.

The most threatening thing to the Tiance Army is all kinds of small cannons, which are loaded with scattered bullets and fired, and can always run into dead rats.

"In addition, according to the Air Force's reconnaissance, Jiannu is drawing troops from other defense areas to assemble in the direction of Chimney Mountain." The operational staff officer said again.

"Oh, that's a good situation, so we'll take a detour to get rid of them." Li Zixuan was not surprised. If the Qing army is in the fortifications of the Gaizhou defense line, it will also be a trouble for the Tiance army.

"Map." Li Zixuan beckoned to the orderly.

The orderly unfolds the topographic map of the Gaizhou area, which is a modern map.

Li Zixuan asked continuously, "Where is the assembly place of Jiannu?" How many troops are there now? How many more people are coming? How long is it expected to be assembled? ”

The operational staff officer pointed to the map and said: "Division commander, the assembly point of Jiannu is three kilometers behind Chimney Mountain, near Majiagou and Nantungou near the Daqing River, and the current strength has reached about 60,000 troops. Judging from the speed of Jiannu's assembly, it should be two to three hours to assemble, and the final strength should be between 9 and 100,000 people, including about 35,000 cavalry. ”

Chief of Staff Sun Shengjie said: "Judging from our army's long-term routine aerial reconnaissance, the total strength of Jiannu on the Gaizhou defense line should be between 180,000 and 190,000, and the line from Shibanshan to Wutai Mountain is the key point of Jiannu's defense, and the estimated strength is 30,000 to 40,000.

If Jiannu completes the assembly, the enemy in front of our army will reach about 130,000 people, and it seems that Jiannu wants to fight a decisive battle with our army here. ”

"Okay, good to come!" Li Zixuan asked the orderlies to put away the map and shouted loudly.

Instructor Wu Zhengchun suggested: "Division commander, Jiannu wants to take advantage of the fact that our army has just broken through the defense line and the soldiers are tired and fight our army for a counter-raid." I suggest that a brigade be divided to break through the past between the dustpan mountain and the Tangwang mountain, and fight Jiannu for a counter-encirclement. ”

"No!" Li Zixuan shook his head and said: "The strength of Jiannu is more than ten times that of our army, so there is no counter-encirclement. And it also takes time to break through from other areas. Judging from today's battle situation, the fortifications built by Jiannu have made great progress, and it is impossible to break through quickly. ”

"Staff Officer Zhang records orders." Li Zixuan said to the operational staff officer: "From now on, the artillery will mark the parameters of the artillery bombardment of Majiagou and Nantungou at the Jiannu assembly site, and the air force transport helicopters will be on standby, ready to bombard the enemy headquarters in Jiannu and Chimney Mountain in these two areas at any time. ”

"Yes!"
