Chapter 474: Battle of Fengyang (3)

The next day, Tang Tianxi's troops in the third town of the Beiyang Army launched a feint attack at the Dingyuan Railway Station, hoping to attract armored trains, but unfortunately Tang Tianxi's troops made the feint a feint. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Jiangbei Army led by Yi Bin defended for a day, and I didn't see how desperate the other side was, and several attacks by the Beiyang Army were repelled by the Jiangbei Army, which made the Jiangbei Army morale strong.

Waited until dark, the armored train of the Jiangbei Army did not leave the Dingyuan Railway Station, this move flashed the Beiyang Army in the third town, Cao Kun waited bitterly for a day, the Jiangbei Army was honestly in the train station, so angry that he jumped and jumped and scolded Tang Tianxi for being stupid.

For the Jiangbei Army, if the Beiyang Army does not attack, the Jiangbei Army will not use the armored train to attack, Yi Bin only has one locomotive, how can he use it casually, he is also afraid that if the enemy's artillery breaks the boiler of the train, the armored train will become a pile of scrap metal, and his own 4,000 Jiangbei Army will be completely trapped in Dingyuan Railway Station.

After dark, Cao Kun decided to launch a fierce attack overnight, and he ordered Wu Peifu's artillery to bomb the Dingyuan Railway Station, and the rest of the troops to attack the Dingyuan Railway Station overnight. Even though Yi Bin cunningly used the fortifications of the armored train and railway station to repeatedly attack the opponent, the 4,000-strong troops could not withstand the onslaught of 24,000 men in the third town of the Beiyang Army, which had artillery and cavalry. The Beiyang Army launched a ruthless attack, and its rich combat experience made the Jiangbei Army suffer enough, seeing the soldiers constantly falling to the ground, and many recruits were demoralized, Yi Bin decided to retreat immediately.

At two o'clock in the morning of the third day, Tang Tianxi's unit of the Beiyang Army temporarily retreated after being completely blocked, Yi Bin immediately counted the wounded, and the deputy regiment commander reported that after holding on for three days, the whole regiment lost 1,342 people killed and 2,100 wounded, and almost the entire regiment continued to fight with wounds.

"Get the seriously wounded into the car." Yi Bin said, "The train is loaded with coal, and we will retreat as soon as it is dawn, but before that, we have to counterattack the enemy." ”

"What do you mean......"

"They just withdrew, and they certainly didn't think we'd fight back against them." Yi Bin sneered, "Dog's day, these days around us to fight, we also have to beat them, let this group of Qing dogs know that our Jiangbei Army is not a bad breed." Yi Bin then ordered the soldiers to plant a large amount of explosives all over the Dingyuan Railway Station, especially on the railway, to ensure that they left a damaged section of the railway for the Beiyang Army after they left.

After all the preparations were made, Yi Bin gathered the eight hundred soldiers who could still fight, and said to everyone: "Brothers, before retreating, give Qinggou a hard blow, and let them suffer hardships, and tell them that we Jiangbei Yankees are not so easy to mess with." ”

"Okay." The generals shouted.

At five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the Jiangbei Army suddenly launched a fierce counterattack against the third town of the Beiyang Army that surrounded them, especially Yi Bin pushed out all the artillery of his troops, although there were only five cannons, but it still surprised the Beiyang Army.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“……”

At the same time of the shelling, the 800 soldiers of the Jiangbei Army who were responsible for the counterattack rushed to the position of the Beiyang Army with bayonets and cats, because the Beiyang Army had been on the offensive for the past three days, so the soldiers of the Beiyang Army never seriously built defensive positions, so the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army easily approached the enemy's position.

"Grenades, throw!"

The grenade that did not need to be left to control the ammunition smashed on the position of the Beiyang Army, triggering a series of explosions, and with the repeated sound of explosions, the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army were like tigers in the position of the Beiyang Army.

"Kill......"

The young Jiangbei Army soldiers showed nervous expressions on their faces, but at the sound of military bugles, they rushed to the enemy without hesitation, and stabbed the stunned Beiyang Army with the weapons in their hands.

"Poof!"

The bayonet of the Hanyang-made rifle in the hand of the young soldier Wang Xibao pierced the chest of a Beiyang veteran, and the blood on the chest of the Beiyang veteran burst into Wang Xibao's face, making him unable to open his eyes. Wang Xibao hurriedly wiped his face with his military uniform, but found that he couldn't wipe it clean, and his face was sticky, almost suffocating him.

Under the firelight, Wang Xibao only felt a burst of red in front of him, all of them were red, the sky was red, the earth was red, and the people were also red, and he couldn't tell who was a comrade-in-arms and who was an enemy.

However, Wang Xibao clearly knew that it was the Beiyang Army who wore a big cap, and it was his comrade-in-arms Jiangbei Army who wore a Penny hat, so after he crossed the corpse of this Beiyang Army veteran, he rushed towards an enemy wearing a big cap, jumped up and kicked the opponent to the ground, and then stabbed it again with the bayonet in his hand.

"Poof!"

This is the fourth person who died in the hands of Wang Xibao, the first two were shot to death by him in front of the position, the third person was just stabbed to death by him, and this fourth person does not seem to be as old as him. The man twisted his body on the ground, screaming and wailing, and his mouth seemed to be shouting: "Mother, I hurt, mother, I hurt, mother......"

Wang Xibao was stunned for a moment, this person's accent is exactly the same as his, is it his fellow countryman? Suddenly, Wang Xibao felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and he immediately turned around in a flash, and stabbed the rifle in his hand, but was kicked to the ground.

The man shouted, "Hey Bao! Wang Xibao, I'm your squad leader! Little rabbit, even I dare to stab, you rebelled against you? Wake up, wake up. ”

Wang Xibao first heard the man's speech clearly, the voice was very familiar, raised his head by the light of the fire, and saw a bearded man wearing a penny hat shouting at him, it was the squad leader, but in his eyes, the squad leader was red-faced, looking particularly ridiculous, he asked: "Squad leader, what's the matter?" ”

"Retreat, the retreat trumpet sounds, retreat." The squad leader said.

"When did you blow it?"

"Just follow me, you madman, follow me, don't you see everyone withdraw?"

Wang Xibao looked at it, and sure enough, everyone retreated, so he followed behind the squad leader. Wang Xibao ran back to the station in a daze, the troops were organizing soldiers to take the train, some soldiers were checking the explosive fuses on the ground, and under the kicks of several veterans, the recruits boarded the train. Wang Xibao also got on the train with other comrades-in-arms, the carriage was very crowded, the soldiers were crowded, the officer asked everyone to aim the muzzle of the gun along the window to the outside, everyone did so, Wang Xibao because he was near the corridor, so he was idle, sat on the carriage to rest, and at the same time washed his eyes with the water in the kettle, so that he could see everything clearly.

Soon after, the train started, and more than 2,700 troops of the Second Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Jiangbei Army took the train and withdrew to the Sanshan position of the Jiangbei Army in Fengyang County.
