Chapter Ninety-One: Attacking Qianwei

At the same time, with the ten-day training, the most basic discipline and passwords of the 2nd Independent Regiment and the Security Brigade were mastered, and the troops were also decent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This town is now surrounded by the forces of the new people's army, Yang Dongfang has not let it move, this town has a city, this city was built in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was still the place where the capital city of Xuzhou was set up at that time.

Although it has declined after two dynasties, it is not an easy place to attack. This land was kept for the purpose of sharpening the new corps.

Yang Dongfang deeply agreed with Tie Thirteen's words, the best way to train a strong army in the shortest time during the special period is to fight on the battlefield, have seen blood, and if they have fought twice, they are all veterans, and recruits have fought once, and they will get twice the result with half the effort when they are pulled back for training, and they are good and obedient.

During this period, Yang Dongfang also secretly set up another artillery battalion, and the artillery battalion was placed in Pingshan City, and the new army naturally couldn't find out the news during daily training.

Time passed in a hurry, half a month passed, and the camp was set up on the east bank, Liu Yuezhao and his subordinates thought for half a month and did not come up with a good way to capture Xuzhou City, because crossing the river is a big problem.

The New People's Army has armed merchant ships, large ships and cannons, and it is an invincible existence on the Sanjiang River, so the Qing Army can only stare dryly, watching Xuzhou become more and more stable day by day, and the New People's Army is growing stronger day by day.

After the first battle of Xijie Town, the 2nd Independent Regiment suffered more than 200 casualties, which can be regarded as seeing blood, and after almost a month of training, the combat effectiveness of each unit has steadily improved.

The situation in Tieshan was greatly reduced as Liu Yuezhao left with the people, and the Tie Thirteen, who had been ordered, continued to guerrilla in the west with the 2nd Regiment and the guard battalion, while secretly recuperating and waiting for the opportunity.

"Tonight, the 4th Regiment of Iron Mountain will change guards with the 1st Independent Regiment, and the handover must be completed before dawn." The major counteroffensive first started from Xuzhou City, and the news of Tieshan from Heishanzui was constantly received, and Yang Dongfang's plan also changed little by little.

On May 20th, on this special day, the fourth regiment was transferred to Xuzhou City to rest for two days, and then crossed the Yangtze River to return to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

On the 21st, after a half-day skirmish, under the attack of sharp muskets, the Fourth Regiment captured Jiang'an County, the western bridgehead of Yangjiang (Luzhou), and Liu Yuezhao personally led people to monitor the opposite bank to prevent the New People's Army from crossing the river.

On the 22nd, the Fourth Regiment attacked Changning County in the west, and the troops pointed directly at Yongning Prefecture, and there was a great opportunity to attack Yangjiang from the east around the mountain.

While the Fourth Regiment attracted Liu Yuezhao's attention, two regiments of the Independent Brigade and one engineer regiment in Xuzhou left the Xuzhou Mansion and entered the Muchuan Division.

At this time, defending the New People's Army in the Muchuan Division was the Muchuan Chief's lawsuit with Xie Guotai's Ministry and his temporary jurisdiction, and the Mabian Chief's lawsuit, Xie Guotai didn't know anything about the New People's Army's change of defense, and he was immersed in the joy of his ascension.

Suddenly, someone came to report: "My lord is not good, the new bandits are attacking our army's defense line in two ways." ”

"What! The new bandits are coming. Xie Guotai didn't expect that his good days were coming to an end, and immediately asked: "Who are the two people of the new bandits?" ”

"My lord, the first independent regiment of the new bandits went up the Minjiang River, and the second independent regiment of the new bandits came from Taiping Township by small road."

Xie Guotai smiled after hearing this: "The new bandits attack in separate ways, this is a self-defeating way, the second independent regiment is a newly formed army in Xuzhou, and it has no combat effectiveness, but the local chickens and dogs dare to invade the territory from the path, I really don't know how thick the sky is, I only need a small number of personnel to be placed there to resist him." ”

So Xie Guotai handed over this task to Muchuan Dusi, and he took Ma Bian Dusi and his own headquarters to block the Second Independent Regiment.

Xie Guotai, who was still full of confidence and thought that he was also the person who surrounded and suppressed Shi Dakai, the fierce general of the Taiping Army, encountered an independent regiment on the west bank of the Minjiang River, and immediately fought a fight, and after killing four or five hundred people with muskets in front of him, he was so frightened that he retreated and did not dare to launch a frontal attack.

"The firearms of the new bandits are sharper than our army, and they are similar to the Hunan army, no wonder they can capture Xuzhou City." Xie Guotai comforted himself, and the chief of the Mabian chief lawsuit beside him also thought so, and he was afraid, his troops didn't talk about muskets, even bird guns, but he found a problem:

"My lord, the new bandit's firearms are so sharp, why did they only fight with us once, and then they didn't attack, it seems a little inappropriate."

Xie Guotai smiled: "Brother, the last time was when I was anxious to make meritorious service so I took the initiative to attack the new bandits, and then I suffered a big loss. ”

The chief prosecutor of Ma Bian nodded at this time, feeling that this is the case, but he always feels that his heart is tight, and he doesn't know what's wrong.

For this reason, he pulled Xie Guotai to drink to relieve his boredom, and the two were drinking happily, when someone rushed in to report, the person who came in was the person from the director of Mabiandu, dressed in black Yi clothes, which made him feel bad.

Sure enough, the man panicked and said, "The clan king is not good. We are Mabianji. It was breached, and more than a dozen cottages, large and small, were all destroyed. ”

"What!" The head of the chief lawsuit of Ma Bian fainted with black eyes, Xie Guotai was about to ask what was clear, when another person broke in, he was stunned for a moment, because the person who came in was the chief of the chief of the lawsuit, Mu Chuan.

"My lord, I'm done with Muchuan. New bandits broke through our cottage. Greatly dozens. It's all over. ”

"How could this be.。。!" Xie Guotai's whole person is not good, what's wrong today, why have these Tusi Wang's hometowns been kicked away, Director Mu Chuandu complained: "My lord, it was Ma Biansi who rebelled, and they attacked us from behind." ”

"What!" Xie Guotai couldn't believe it at all, his heart was shocked like a river and a sea, people's hometowns were kicked by people, how could they sneak attack your lair, but at this time, there were dozens of loud noises outside, and the criminal line that originally occupied the geography was broken, and the sound of the New People's Army shouting and killing came from the opposite side, and he didn't care about anything else, so he took a knife and rode on a horse and ran towards Qianwei County.

The independent regiment easily broke through Xie Guotai's bullshit defense line, led people to kill all the way, and chased the routed troops to the city of Qianwei.

On the evening of the arrival of the 1st Independent Regiment and a regiment of the Xuzhou Engineer Brigade, two more troops arrived here, the first was the 2nd Independent Regiment, and the second was the Yi soldiers led by Bai Fan.
