"Speed it up! Quickly erect the double-decker fort at the South Gate. ”

Shuangliu Town, where the Taonan Mansion is located, is said to be the Mansion, in fact, the entire Taonan has been occupied by Tao Ketao Hu for a long time, because Tao Ketao was originally opposed to the Qing Dynasty's large-scale migration of the Han people to the East Mongolian grassland, destroying the Mongolian herdsmen's pastures, the Mongolian people regarded it as a hero, and were deeply supported in the East Mongolia area, and after capturing the Taonan City, the city wall was widened and thickened.

Especially after the news that Baiyin Tusi was attacked by the new army from Fengtian in Jing'an County reached Taonan, Tao Ketaohu ordered his subordinates to build twin city forts in the four directions of the city wall, and replaced the original wooden gate with an iron city gate.

"Master Tao, Baiyin Tusi has fled to Taonan after losing the battle."

"Baiyin Tusi, is the Baiyin Tusi who just suffered a defeat in Jing'an?" Tao Ketao frowned, most of these bandits are herdsmen who have risen up, and they have a relationship with each other, otherwise this Baiyin Tusi would not have gone straight to Taonan just after losing the battle.

"Tao ...... Master Tao, you want to avenge my brothers, this new army is too ruthless, I have nearly more than 1,000 brothers, more than 800 dead and wounded, and only more than 100 people are left around me when they scatter and flee. With the support of several brothers, Baiyin Tusi was full of dust and breathless, and he recounted the encounter with Jing'an and Eleventh Town.

"Fought with the new army from Mukden? With such heavy casualties, how many people are there in the New Army? Tao Ketao's eyes widened, and he was taken aback.

Since the beginning of the uprising, Tao Ketao has also had a lot of dealings with the patrol battalions of Mukden and Jilin provinces, and has fought a lot of battles, even if he is surrounded by the patrol battalion, as long as his iron cavalry charges out, he can basically escape, and it is rare to have a battle like Baiyin Tusi that basically wiped out the whole army. It seems that this new army really cannot be underestimated.

"It was too dark at the time to see too clearly, but the preliminary estimate was no less than 5,000 people, this new army is different from what we have encountered before, their fast guns are better, and their marksmanship is good. And there are machine guns, that thing is too powerful, the most important thing is that the officers and soldiers who suppressed bandits in the past will be scattered by our cavalry, but this time it seems that the fight is not fierce, in fact, the offensive means are quite effective, especially in front of the machine gun, our horse does not dare to rush at all! ”

Bai Yin Tusi inevitably felt a tingle in his scalp when he thought of this Maxine Organ Green, and most of these brothers under his command died at the hands of this "Charizard".

"It seems that this news came from Yashi, which is hiding in the Horqin grassland, is correct, this is really in the eleventh town of the new army from Fengtian." Tauktau's face became unsightly. His own power is definitely stronger than that of the Baiyin Tusi Division, especially after he occupied Taonan City, many young Mongolian men have joined his team, but in the face of the well-equipped new army, Tao Ke Taohu is not sure in his heart.

Baiyin Tusi looked at the busy craftsmen in Taonan City, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Master Tao, you are strong and strong, and this Taonan is originally the territory of our Mongolians." I also saw the walls of Taonan City along the way, but it is one layer higher than the original, and the new army is definitely not your opponent."

"Yes. Their new army has Maxim machine guns, but the Russians also helped us with four Maxim machine guns, and besides, the new army came from a long distance, I'm afraid it will be eaten by the steppe wolves before we find Taonan Mansion! The black-faced man with small eyes squinted his eyes and laughed.

The relationship between Tauktahu and the Russians is not ordinary, so the Russians also helped Tauktahu with guns and ammunition. Especially after the Russo-Japanese War, the Russians did not give up on the Northeast and Mongolia, so the Russians have been secretly aiding the Mongolian bandits.

This black-faced man is the second leader of Tao Ke Taohu, Guan Buza, driven by Guan Buza's jokes, the rest of the leaders also laughed, the past few years of the uprising. Every time the Qing army fled, they really didn't take these officers and soldiers seriously.

Tao Ketao looked at these confident leaders under his command, and was also affected by this inevitable atmosphere, and said with a slight smile: "That is also a fight must be fought, but they Han people have a saying that they know that they are invincible in a hundred battles, and we don't even know how many of them are now, and this battle can't be fought for the time being!" ”

After all, Tao Ketao was experienced in a hundred battles, and he did not underestimate the enemy like a few leaders under him, and waved his hand and said: "For now, it is best to stay in Taonan City, and let the brothers sent out pay more attention to the movements in the Jing'an area, and let the brothers who defend the city also be more careful, this new army is not comparable to the previous patrol battalion!" ”

"It's okay, I listen to you, as long as I can avenge those brothers under my hands, even if I am willing to be a cow or a horse." Undisguised hatred flashed in Bai Yin Tusi's eyes, the bandits had an incident, and the core members were all their own siblings, or partners who played small and big, and their feelings were very deep, which was also the reason why the core bandits had good combat power.

"Smack!"

On an open grassland in Jing'an, a crisp sound sounded on the newly built shooting range, Sun Liechen played with the improved Mauser 98 rifle, showing a smile on his face, "My lord, it's still the new army that is well treated!" Earlier, we were in the patrol battalion, and the bullets were all used sparingly, but this time as a new army, the bullets were fired like flowing water. "Within a quarter of an hour of the two of them watching the shooting range, a group of soldiers here had already fired three shots.

Sun Liechen did not go to any new-style school or military school, he came up step by step, first escorted the governor of Shengjing Zengqi when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, and then suppressed bandits, and then he was promoted to the Jing'an patrol battalion management belt, but the old soldiers still spoke with old-style habits, but compared with some other old army officers, it seemed much more real.

Since most of the current non-commissioned officers are graduates of the Japanese army, the entire eleven towns are mostly according to the Japanese army, of course, He Tianci also wants to transform the army into a German style, but he doesn't understand, and the officers under him don't understand either, so he can only rely on some memories of later generations to add a little different training to the soldiers, such as singing military songs.

Sun Liechen's words are quite true, but these words almost poked He Tianci's secret out, and the bullets used by He Tianci's soldiers for training were all bought by him with his own money! But it's all my hard-earned money!

hurriedly said: "The imperial court attaches great importance to the new army, and this ammunition is more sufficient, it is all made by the Hubei factory, and the imperial court is uniformly deployed, so it will be cheaper."

Looking at Sun Liechen, who was suspicious, He Tianci hurriedly changed the topic, walked side by side with Sun Liechen, and said: "Brother Zanyao, don't think so much, you will also be a new army in the future, and the treatment of this new army is the same, and our first task at the moment is to eradicate the bandits in the Mengdong area!" ”

Sun Liechen looked at He Tianci, and then said embarrassedly: "Actually, some time ago, I didn't have a good sense to say that Wang Guandao and I were originally the pipe bands of the Taonan Patrol Battalion, but later they were beaten out of Taonan City by Taoke Taohu and other bandits, which is really ashamed!" ”

Sun Liechen explained in detail some of the actions of Tao Ke Taohu in capturing Taonan Fu City, including several defeats with Tao Ke Taohu and other Mongolian bandits, as well as some of the Mongolian bandits' combat methods. Sun Liechen has never attended a regular military academy, and he has never entered some martial arts halls in the northeast, but he is very detailed about the battle process with the Mongolian bandits, especially according to the direction of the escape of the Mongolian bandit Baiyin Tusi, he guessed that the remnants of Baiyin Tusi must have taken refuge in the nearby fugitive house to Taoketaohu.

Sun Liechen's words couldn't help but make He Tianci take a high look at this pipe band from the patrol battalion, especially when he proposed that the defense should be contracted to deal with the Mongolian bandits, and the small-scale harassment can be ignored, and this is indeed the case, in the past half a month in Jing'an, although the large army has no major action, but the soldiers in charge of patrolling outside are often attacked by the Mongolian bandits, which makes He Tianci have a headache.

"Report!"

The stupid roe deer cautiously glanced at Sun Liechen, and then looked at He Tianci, looking a little worried about Sun Liechen.

He Tianci smiled slightly: "Don't worry, let's say, in the future, Sun Guandao will be added to the three battalions under Zhao Biaotong!" ”

The stupid roe deer was relieved at this time, and then said softly: "The reconnaissance post sent a telegram back, and found that the remnants of Baiyin Tusi had been fleeing northward, and it looked like it was going straight to Taoketaohu!" ”

After the introduction of German radio, it provided convenience for the transmission of intelligence to the army, otherwise in this vast grassland, even if you ride a fast horse, the transmission of information will be delayed for a few days in the middle, and the war is often fleeting, so after the German radio, the 11th Town will have more confidence in suppressing bandits in Eastern Mongolia.

"Sure enough, Sun Guandao expected! Huchen admires and admires! ”

"Pass my order, immediately reorganize the army, and set off overnight!" He Tianci turned on his horse and prepared to personally lead the army to the battle.

As soon as the sky was bright, the vast grassland was still asleep and did not wake up, there was silence around, and there was a faint sound of horses' hooves on the path through the Horqin grassland to Taonan.

After half a year of hard work, He Tianci turned most of the men and horses in his department into cavalry, of course, just on horseback, if it was a battle, most of them still had to get off their horses. In front of it is a slope, most of the soldiers from the security brigade have to hold the reins in their hands and go downhill carefully, while most of the soldiers from the early mid-road patrol battalion are from cavalry, and they carry their guns and lean back slightly, without any scruples, just a small downhill road can see the exquisite riding skills of the steppe people deep into the bone marrow.
