On the whole, Zhang Yunshan's trip to the Fourth Division achieved a good result. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just in terms of how to use the Fourth Division, he and Luo Peijin had different ideas.

You must know that in the offensive and defensive battles with the Qing army in the past few days, the casualties of the soldiers and civilians in the city are quite heavy, and now the city defenders are not only not equipped with training, but even the manpower is a little short. According to his meaning, his current strength in defending the city is overstretched, and the Fourth Division should enter the city to assist him in defending the city, as long as he can defend the city of Qianzhou, he can ensure the safety of the rear.

But Luo Peijin doesn't think so, if he pulls the troops into Qianzhou City, wouldn't he be tying his hands and feet? In that case, if you can't give full play to your own advantages, won't you have to fight with the Qing army in vain? As an outsider, Zhang Yunshan certainly didn't understand, but as a division commander, he knew the advantages and disadvantages of his troops. Not to mention a mere green battalion Gan army, with only the advantage of firepower, he is not afraid of the Beiyang Army coming.

Regarding Luo Peijin's insistence on fighting a positional battle with the Qing army, Zhang Yunshan could only smile bitterly in his heart, only thinking that Luo Peijin was a newcomer, and he didn't know how powerful he was, but he had really learned the power of the Qing army's horse team. After a period of hard persuasion, I can only give up, after all, the two sides do not belong to the same force, and I can't force others to obey me, let alone turn against others. It's just that before leaving, he vaguely mentioned to Luo Peijin that if the war doesn't go well, he will come to receive support.

For the support of the Shaanxi army, Luo Peijin has a dispensable attitude, it is good to come, it is okay not to come, but don't trouble me. However, because of the best Zhang Yunshan's subtle kindness, Luo Peijin showed a lot of good feelings about this person's personality.

Hearing the news that the revolutionary army was coming to attack, Shengyun, who had been bored in his heart these days, instantly became cheerful. What he was afraid of was that the revolutionary army was hugging in the city and stalemate with himself, after all, his journey from Pingliang to Qianzhou could be regarded as an expedition of laborers, unlike the revolutionary party, which could not be consumed. Now, you took the initiative to come, I can't ask for it. With the promotion of thousands of cavalry of Ma Anliang's department, it seems that he is already in control of victory at this time.

It's no wonder that Shengyun thinks so, after all, in this era when tanks and armored vehicles have not yet been able to dominate the battlefield, cavalry, an ancient type of military with strong mobility, is still a first-class weapon of great destruction. The scene of thousands of cavalry charging is a weak leg that can be frightened.

In front of the two armies, the air condensed, and a huge aura of slaughter quietly rose. Both sides are preparing for the upcoming fierce battle.

"Brethren! Getting promoted and making a fortune is today. Eliminate the people and bandits in front, grab money, grab food, and rob women! An officer of the Qing cavalry tore his throat to cheer up his soldiers. The Qing cavalry, who was stimulated, stared ahead one by one with blood-red eyes.

With Ma Anliang's order, the cavalry under his command raised their long swords one after another, and the whole horse team rushed towards the position of the Fourth Division like an arrow with flags and horns fluttering in the wind

At the same time, not far behind the front of the Fourth Division, Luo Peijin and Zhang Nailiang, as well as many staff officers of the division headquarters, also gathered on a small high ground. Luo Peijin used a telescope to observe the Qing cavalry who were waiting to charge a few kilometers away, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then nodded to Chief of Staff Zheng Kaiwen.

"Let's get started!" Zheng Kaiwen turned around and said a few words to the staff officer beside him, and then the staff officer quickly trotted into the command headquarters.

Half a minute later, the shells of the 75 mountain guns of the regimental artillery battalion first whistled through the air, followed by the shells of the 105 howitzers and 155 howitzers of the artillery regiment, which smashed into the middle of the rushing cavalry.

You must know that a 155-caliber howitzer, in China in this era, is a real heavy artillery. In the case of the 155 howitzer, the shell will enter a crater of about one meter directly on the ground, and people within a radius of 40 meters will basically be directly killed, and the corpses within 10 meters of the landing point will not be expected to be found. An explosion that could even tip a tank over was a nightmare for these charging cavalrymen.

As the shells continued to explode, the charging Qing cavalry began to fall in pieces. The Qing army, which was shouting and neighing, no longer had the pride they had when they set out, and they could no longer stop the horror in their hearts when they saw the brothers around them disappear in waves of explosions. Unable to withstand this blow, the Qing army began to turn their horses around and run towards the place where they came, hoping to escape from this hellish battlefield as soon as possible.

The miserable appearance of the cavalry was the same in the eyes of Sheng Yun and Ma Anliang, who were supervising the battle behind, and the two of them at this time looked at all this dumbfounded, their hands and feet had already become cold, and their faces were pale. Seung-yoon trembled all over his body and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Not to mention the performance of these two people, it is on the side of the revolutionary army, even Luo Peijin did not expect all this in front of him. The power of heavy artillery can be so powerful, and there is really no comparison between what I have heard and what I have seen with my own eyes.

After the Qing cavalry retreated, the artillery fire of the 4th Division began to extend, and then attacked the positions defended by the infantry. Because of the intuitive visual conflict in front, the Qing army's infantry team, which had already witnessed the tragic appearance of the cavalry, began to retreat unstoppably as the shells continued to fall, and the Qing army, which was terrified in their hearts, began to retreat uncontrollably.

It was a tragic battle, the whistling shells dragged the sound of the cracking air into the Qing army's position, everywhere was thick smoke and chaos, and the soldiers who kept running around the position disappeared in an instant. The screams of the horses on the battlefield, the screams of the wounded before they died, the screams of the panicked soldiers and officers as they retreated. But soon. The explosion of shells quickly drowned out all this.

Seeing that his position had begun to collapse, but the governor next to him was still pale and stunned, Ma Anliang couldn't sit still anymore, and regardless of whether Shengyun wanted to or not, he immediately pulled up the governor and ran back under the escort of his own soldiers. You Shengyun don't want to live anymore, my Ma Anliang hasn't lived enough, and the family's wealth and beautiful wife and concubine are still waiting for me to go back.

After the collapse of the Qing position, with the order to attack, the infantry of the 4th Division officially began to attack. The company commanders, who had been on call for a long time throughout the battle line, drew their pistols one after another, and at the same time blew the whistle hanging from their chests. In the rapid whistle, the soldiers under his subordinates quickly rushed out of the trench under the leadership of the squad leaders, deputy squad leaders and others, and trotted forward with their waists bent.

Although the sound of bullets flying over his head was constantly sounding, and his feet were shot by puffs of smoke and dust from bullets from time to time, and some bullets knocked nearby soldiers to the ground from time to time. However, because of the faith in their hearts, these young soldiers were still fearless and continued to attack forward. For a time, the sound of screams, groans, gunshots, and shell explosions resounded throughout the entire front.

The fighters skillfully used various tactical movements, scattered and rushed in twos and threes, pulling the trigger of the rifle in their hands from time to time, and throwing grenades from their waists. With bursts of gunfire and grenade explosions, the resistance of the enemy troops on the opposite side became more and more thin. Scenes of Qing soldiers throwing their hands high and kneeling on the ground began to appear continuously. The attacking soldiers did not care about these surrendered Qing troops, and there would be troops behind them to contain the prisoners, and their task was only to assault, constantly launching assaults in depth.

When the Fourth Division swept the entire battlefield like a whirlwind, Zhang Yunshan in Qianzhou City was looking at the guards who reported the battle situation to him in detail, and the shock on his face could not be concealed. 155mm howitzer, that's a heavy artillery! It belongs to the legendary thing, and it is said that there is such a mark in the Beiyang Army in China. Although he saw a lot of artillery when he went to the Fourth Division, he was a soldier who had left home halfway, and he really didn't recognize that those were heavy artillery.

Unexpectedly, this battle was so weird, and the Fourth Division smashed the Qing army with only one shell. Although the soldiers in the city are now poorly equipped and have inferior combat effectiveness, there is still Yu Yong who beat the water dogs. The plan was decided, and Zhang Yunshan immediately led his army out of the city to pursue the retreating Qing army.
