The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and a group of men and horses march in the dark night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoUnder the bright moonlight, the mystery of this army is revealed. In the darkness, from time to time, the command came "Watch your step, keep up". The troops marched in concealment and did not take the main road at all, this unit was the 3rd Regiment of the Independent Division, and they were going to launch a sneak attack on the 10th Association of the 5th Town of the Qing Army in Niangmiao tonight. Five days ago, the troops secretly assembled in Xizhuang, changed into new military uniforms, and all officers and men shaved their heads.

In addition to the 98K German-made rifles, the armament of the 3rd Regiment also had a Makqin heavy machine gun for each battalion, a total of 3 pieces. After the unit was equipped in May, it specially practiced night operations and made full preparations for the surprise attack. At this time, the regiment commander Wang Kun was riding on a horse, and the chief of staff, Liao Zhi, was on one side. Wang Kun took out his pocket watch and glanced at it and said, "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, how far is it from the Niang Temple?" "Leader, it's still 10 kilometers away from Niang Temple." "Order the troops to speed up their advance, and attack at 4 o'clock."

"Regiment commander, there is information from Weifang City, yesterday evening Jia Yunpeng, the 10th Association Commander, entered the city under the escort of the guards, this guy has set up his home in Weifang City, and there is no leader in the barracks." Chief of Staff Liao Zhi looked very relaxed.

An hour later, the troops stopped advancing and stood still, a lantern was lit under a tree, and several officers surrounded it. Chief of Staff Liao Zhi spread the floor plan of the Qing army barracks on the ground and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Qing army barracks in Niangmiao are divided into two gates, north and south, and our battle plan is to launch a sudden attack from the north gate to force the Qing army to flee from the south gate. ”

Wang Kun said: "You understand, now I order the 1st Battalion to take up the task of raiding, the enemy situation is unknown in the dark, your attack must be brave, forcing the Qing army to flee from the south gate." Chief of staff! "Here!" "You led a battalion to attack from the north gate, and I led the main force to ambush at the south gate and start the operation!" The generals were ordered to act immediately, and the agile figures of the soldiers in the darkness dispersed, revealing that this was a well-trained force. As the minutes ticked by, the pre-dawn battle was quietly approaching.

At this time, the Qing army was not aware of it, and the long-term comfort was not only inferior to military quality, but also unguarded. At this time, the Qing soldiers were all asleep, and the barracks were quiet. In the high-ranking officer's living quarter, a house window is lit, and the figure reflected through the window paper can clearly see that there are people in the room, and it is very lively. Inside the house, 4 officers gathered around the table and were "fighting"! "4 tubes!" An open-minded officer played his cards. "Haha, I'm out of it! One dragon is all the same, give money, give money, "The broken silver in front of the Hu officer has been piled up.

"Biaotong, your luck is too good, don't let us live!" The officer of the winning card was Pan Hongbin, the commander of the 10th Association and the 17th standard, and at this time he led several subordinates to fight at night. Gambling was commonplace among officers and soldiers in the Qing army, and it is enough to see how comfortable they are. At the north gate of the barracks, a group of dark shadows approached quietly, and the sentries standing guard dozed off without noticing. In the darkness, a company commander instructed his men to throw grenades as soon as the shots rang out, and then the demolition team quickly blew open the gate.

At four o'clock in a few minutes, Zhang Keyao, the 10th Association and the 18th Standard Commander, got up on time to check the post, and he has developed a habit over the years. Zhang Keyao returned to China after graduating from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1901 and joined the Daqing Army. At first, he was in the 3rd town of Beiyang, and later the 5th town was formed in Shandong, and Zhang Keyao was transferred to Shandong to serve as the 10th co-standard. This person belongs to the standard military and has no bad habits, although he is not used to Pan Hongbin and other black miasma, he is powerless to change this phenomenon.

As an upright soldier, you can only clean yourself and be good to yourself. Zhang Keyao went to the north gate first according to the daily checkpoint route. On the west side is the barracks barracks, and the training ground is directly connected to the north and south gates. Zhang Keyao walked out of the camp with two guards and just entered the training ground. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and I saw that on the tower watchtower at the north gate, under the dim glow of the steaming lights, the sentry standing guard was hit by a bullet and planted down. He realized that it was not good and hurriedly ran towards the gate, and at this time, the soldiers who were guarding the north gate also ran out.

Zhang Keyao was about fifty meters away from the north gate, only to see a flash of fire, a deafening huge explosion came, and the air wave knocked Zhang Keyao and the two guards to the ground. After the explosion, smoke filled the air, and dust flew up. Zhang Keyao staggered to his feet, and found that the gate was missing, and two guards got up to block the front, when there was a shout of killing, and a dense rain of bullets came head-on. The bullet hit the guard and fell to the ground, Zhang Keyao suddenly came to his senses and turned around and ran towards the barracks.

The shouts of killing behind were earth-shattering, and Zhang Keyao felt that the enemy had rushed into the barracks. In the camp, many soldiers were seen like headless flies, many of whom wore trousers and had no weapons in their hands. "Brothers, don't panic, listen to my command, it's the revolutionary party that is attacking with arms, ready to fight!" At this time, a subordinate commanded a group of soldiers to run over with a heavy machine gun. "Biaotong, my people are coming!" Immediately set up heavy machine guns and defend on the spot. ”

The enemy rushed into the camp, and Zhang Keyao did not have time to organize and set up the formation, so he ordered the heavy machine gun to open fire, and in the light of the explosion, the bullets hit his own soldiers. However, Zhang Keyao didn't care about this, it was very important to stabilize his position and gain time at the moment, although the enemy's impact was suppressed by heavy machine guns, but the opponent's tactical literacy was extremely high, and he quickly counterattacked on the spot. Suddenly, the heavy machine gun was silent, and he was determined to see that the machine gunner was shot in the chest and died. Another Heavy came up to replenish it, and just then two of his men were shot and fell to the ground.

Originally, he stood and commanded, but when he saw that the enemy's marksmanship was so accurate, he hurriedly lay on the ground. "The enemy is well-trained, not at all like the revolutionary party, who are they?" The subordinates were a little apprehensive. "No matter who it is, we must hold it until dawn!" At this time, a subordinate ran over from the darkness and said, "Biaotong, Master Pan has retreated to the south gate with his subordinates!" "Standard, let's retreat too!" "The enemy attacks sharply, and if they retreat, they will collapse, tell the brothers to hold on to the camp, and those who dare to retreat will be killed."

"Standard, the enemy has attacked!" "Beat me hard!" Zhang Keyao ordered loudly. The enemy attacked with a feint and quickly retreated. "Biaotong, I can see clearly, the enemy army is actually wearing military uniforms, what kind of unit is this?" "I also see clearly, no matter what the troops, we must hold on." "At this time, there was a dense burst of gunfire and shouts of killing from the south side." Standard, we are surrounded! Zhang Keyao also heard the sound of three heavy machine guns outside the south gate.

Three heavy machine guns fired at the same time, indicating that the ambush had been laid a long time ago, obviously this was intentional by the enemy, Zhang Keyao was shocked in his heart. Perhaps it was the fierce battle outside the south gate that attracted their attention, and a figure suddenly appeared on the roof on the left, and suddenly a dozen grenades were overwhelming. The violent explosion sounded suddenly, and the explosion wave lifted a bullet box, which happened to hit Zhang Keyao's head, and he lost consciousness. The heavy machine guns were silent, and the enemy launched another onslaught, leaving the dragons leaderless, and the defenses immediately collapsed.

Outside the south gate, the regiment commander Wang Kun saw that the north gate was opened as scheduled, so he ordered the troops to enter battle preparations. Three heavy machine guns form a U-shaped arrangement, which is intended to form crossfire without dead ends. "Regiment commander, the Qing army is out!" In the dark, I saw a large number of Qing soldiers running around with their heads hugged, and the standard commander Pan Hongbin and several subordinates ran in front on high-headed horses. As soon as the battle began, Pan Hongbin and the three friends ran out of the house. Due to the sudden attack, the entire barracks became a pot of porridge, especially the north side shouted to kill Zhentian, Pan Hongbin felt bad, so he ordered to flee to the south gate.

"Regiment commander, it's the Qing army brigade that fires!" "Go 100 meters and fire!" Before the battle began, Wang Kun was very nervous in his heart, after all, it was the first time to fight with a real knife and a real gun, and it was inevitable to be nervous. But when the battle began, the nervousness was replaced by excitement. Seeing that the figure of the Qing army was getting closer and closer, Wang Kun ordered to open fire, and the dense rain of bullets swept through, poor Pan Hongbin didn't even know who the opponent was, so he whined, and several subordinate officials also finished playing in the dense rain of bullets.

The Qing soldiers were so frightened that they all fell to the ground, and the Qing soldiers who were in a circle reflexively ran back, only to be knocked to the ground. Wang Kun saw that the Qing soldiers were so vulnerable, so he ordered a general attack??????。 An hour later, the battle ended at dawn, and a large number of Qing prisoners outside the south gate were escorted into the barracks. "Report to the head of the regiment, after the identification of the prisoners, the standard commander Pan Hongbin was killed in battle." A subordinate reported. "Bring him here!" After a while, two Qing prisoners of war came over carrying a stretcher, and Wang Kun stepped forward to lift the covered sheet.

I saw several bullet holes in the chest of the deceased, and the blood stains had coagulated. The deceased was ashen and mouth open, revealing a state of surprise. "The deceased is the greatest, find him a coffin and bury it, and set up a wooden sign in front of the grave to write his identity, so that his family can find it in the future!" After Wang Kun finished speaking, he raised his legs and walked towards the barracks. Report to the regiment commander, the battle is all over. "Liao Zhi, the chief of staff in charge of the attack at the North Gate, came up with a bandage wrapped around his arm." Chief of Staff, you're wounded! Wang Kun was slightly surprised. The arm was cut by a bullet and did not hurt the bones. ”

"It must be the first soldier to rush to the front, this has to let the division commander know, you kid can't eat and walk around." "After the battle began, I couldn't hold it back, and I looked at my duty as a commander." "Let's not take an example, let's talk about the situation." "Damn, Zhang Keyao's troops have a certain number of battles, and the first battalion has 55 killed and 72 wounded." "Zhang Keyao?" "Zhang Keyao was knocked unconscious by a grenade and captured." After Liao Zhi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the two soldiers escorted an officer with a bandage on his head.
