The Qing army in Gansu attacked Shaanxi in two ways, the south and the north, and the Qing army in the south attacked Fengxiang in two ways. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe Qing army turned all the way south from Pingliang, Gansu, and was invincible whenever it encountered the enemy.

The "Zhuang Kai Army" led by Zhang Xingzhi, the governor of Guyuan, went to the Taixiang Temple in the north of Fengxiang City; The "Xiaorui Army" led by Cui Zhengwu, the commander of the Hui army, marched to Liulin Town in the west of the city. The two divisions have a total of 16 battalions of horse infantry, with a strength of 12,000 people, and most of the weapons are fast guns, forming a flanking attack on Fengxiang City.

At this time, Zhang Xingzhi and Cui Zhengwu were in a time of complacency and high spirits, and the revolutionary party they met along the way were all about to collapse at the slightest touch, and they thought that this would be a bitter battle before they set out on the expedition, but according to the current situation, it was really a vain heart. If this continues, the troops will enter Xi'an, and the promotion and fortune will be just around the corner!

Hearing the news that the revolutionary party had troops coming to reinforce the army, Cui Zhengwu, the commander of the horse team, specially rushed to the station of Admiral Zhang Xingzhi to discuss.

"According to the spies, there are about 3,000 reinforcements in this group, and the soldiers of this unit have high morale and full of spirit, but they are dressed very strangely." Obviously, although the spies found out the number of people who came to support the revolutionary army, they did not know the equipment of their troops. Zhang Xingzhi repeated the words of the spy to Cui Zhengwu, but when he talked about the clothes of the Southwest Revolutionary Army, his expression was quite strange.

"Oh?" Obviously, Cui Zhengwu also saw the look on Zhang Xingzhi's face.

"The revolutionary party was dressed in colorful military uniforms, each armed with a spear, and behaved quite strangely. Seeing that our army is about to recover Fengxiang, Xi'an is in front of us, and now there is another revolutionary party, how good is this! ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, although the Revolutionary Party has come to reinforce the army, my horse team is not vegetarian." Cui Zhengwu seemed full of confidence.

"It's just that I'm always a little unsure in my heart." Zhang Xingzhi's face was full of solemnity.

"Lord Admiral, we didn't deal with these revolutionary parties a few days ago, it's not that I'm boasting, it's really vulnerable. These from Sichuan may not be the surface of donkey dung and eggs, and they must be useless. Cui Zhengwu's arrogant look on his face, it seems that these days are indeed used to fighting against the wind.

"I hope so." At this time, Zhang Xingzhi could only say this.

At this time, in the headquarters of the 12th Regiment stationed in the eastern suburbs of Fengxiang City, Zhao Fuxiang was listening to the report of the commander of the reconnaissance company who had just returned to the camp. As graduates of the first class of the martial arts hall, most of them have already served as company commanders in the revolutionary army, and a few have even held military positions at the battalion level.

Cun Xingqi stretched out his hand and asked for a map, opened it and drew some circles on it, explaining while drawing: "Regiment commander, according to the detected situation, there is a horse team stationed here, about 4,000 people, and here are infantry, more than 6,000 people, here, and here, respectively, Zhang Xingzhi and Cui Zhengwu's headquarters. ”

Zhao Fuxiang didn't speak, staring at the map, looking quietly, and the atmosphere seemed very heavy for a while. After a while, he said: "Can you quietly touch the station of Zhang Xingzhi and Cui Zhengwu Headquarters?" ”

"I'm afraid this is difficult, the Gan army has strong combat effectiveness, is very well armed, and has a large number of people patrolling." What Cun Xingqi said was direct, but this made Zhao Fuxiang's brows wrinkle directly into Sichuan characters. He was still going to plan a sneak attack, so he had to give up the idea. It seems that the successive defeats and retreats of the Shaanxi Revolutionary Party are not only the straw bales of the revolutionary party itself, but also the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Gansu cannot be ignored.

"Regiment commander, it's not easy to touch the headquarters, but it should be possible to touch the vicinity of the garrison. Especially the horse team, because of the consecutive victories, the Gan army horse team was quite arrogant, and the camp defense was extremely lax. "Inch Xingqi came to this sentence again at this time.

"Oh?" When Zhao Fuxiang heard this, he was interested, so that's right, Jiusheng's master will inevitably be a little arrogant, and this arrogance, his flaws will leak out.

Zhao Fuxiang has always attached great importance to Cun Xingqi, a high-achieving student who graduated from the lecture hall and is now renamed Kunming Army Academy. Hearing his words at this time, under deliberate cultivation, Fang Cai said: "Nianjie, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”

Inch Xingqi was asked, but the reaction was not in a hurry, raised his hand to pick up the pen and map on the table, drew it with a brush, and quickly drew a simple combat diagram, pushed it in front of Zhao Fuxiang and said: "Regiment commander, compared with the various departments of the Gan Army, our army not only has the superior quality of soldiers, but also the advantage of equipment is incomparable. It's just that our army is all infantry, but its mobility is weaker than that of Gan's army. Therefore, if you want to defeat the opposing enemy, you must deal with their horse team first. Although the Gan army horse team is arrogant, its combat effectiveness is still good, in order to prevent its dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry, we can launch an attack from here, slowly advance, and order a force to set up an ambush on the road of the infantry camp in advance. In addition, here, reserve a force to block the infantry troops that come to help, and you can go down with a drum. In this way, the Gan army on the opposite side is not worried. ”

The tactics are simple and clear, the thinking is clear, and the work on the map is also quite good. Zhao Fuxiang looked at it and nodded, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. Zhao Fuxiang appreciates the strange inch, not only because of his performance just now, but because he has always been optimistic about this young man. Since he joined his subordinates, he has always been very calm and can deal with any problems easily. It is also certain that he has also made comprehensive considerations for this upcoming battle in advance.

Zhao Fuxiang was quite sure of the strange words, and approved the implementation after a little supplementation, but set the time for the campaign to be launched in the early morning two days later. The tactics are determined, and the meeting is immediately arranged.

After Zhao Fuxiang finished the officers' meeting, the political commissar of the regiment said in a deep voice: "Comrades, there are countless pairs of eyes looking at us behind us, the party Central Committee is looking at us, and the people of all nationalities in the southwest are looking at us. As the first battle of our people's revolutionary army entering Shaanxi, we must fight it well. ”

Hearing the words of the political commissar's mobilization, the officers present all felt the heavy burden on their shoulders, and suddenly their eyes were red as if they had been beaten with blood, and their ambitions gushed out at the same time.

Early the next morning, all the soldiers of the 12th Regiment went to the front line, but during the day, they only fought against the Qing army on the opposite side, and there was no fierce fighting. This made the strictly guarded Qing army generals Zhang Xingzhi, Cui Zhengwu and others on the opposite side breathe a little relieved, and at the same time, they also secretly affirmed the facts guessed by themselves and others.

At three o'clock, the planned time, the 75 guns of the regimental artillery battalion first launched an artillery bombardment on the target.

After ten minutes of artillery bombardment, the three sharp knife companies, which had already arrived at the designated attack position, immediately launched a surprise attack with dense fire cover. The attack position was only 300 meters away from the garrison of the Qing army's horse team, and before the six battalions of horse teams could react to what was going on, the attacking troops of the revolutionary army had already assaulted the camp.

Zhang Xingzhi was awakened by the sound of cannons, and he rolled up from the bed with a whoosh, and his first reaction was, it's broken, the revolutionary party is coming! As for Choi Jung-noon, the commander of the horse team, he never woke up from his dream at the beginning of the shelling. And Wan Bingnan, who was far away in Fengxiang City, heard the sound of cannons, and he rolled up from the bed with the same whoosh, and his first reaction was that it was broken, and the Tartars came over. The different responses led to different initiatives on both sides.

Zhang Xingzhi rushed to the courtyard, looking at the horse team station with the rumbling cannons at the distance, covered in cold sweat, why didn't this spy say that the revolutionary army from Sichuan would have artillery!

The horse team was attacked, taking advantage of the opportunity that the infantry team was not yet attacked, Zhang Xingzhi began to hurry up the arrangement of defensive measures, from this point of view, this person still has at least military literacy. As the various departments and bands arrived, Zhang Xingzhi, who had stabilized his spirit, immediately made a series of arrangements, leaving two battalions to garrison the main battalion, and he took the remaining infantry battalions to reinforce Cui Zhengwu's horse team.

The battle at the far end continued, and the chaotic whole team took more than an hour to complete, Zhang Xingzhi was so anxious that he immediately ordered an attack, with the two battalion leaders as the vanguard, and the remaining battalions followed up and rushed to the horse team station.

Zhang Xingzhi thought about giving up the horse team. But the horse team is too heavy in his mind. Isn't it just by relying on the horse team these days that the revolutionary party is like a rabbit, if this Cui noon is over, then I guess it will be about the same.
