"Master Tao, it's not good, Baiyin Tusi was killed in battle, and more than 200 brothers who rushed down came back!" Guan Buza wiped a handful of blood from his face and said with a crying voice.

At this time, Tao Ketao looked at the embarrassed official Buza is more and more angry, and he told him not to fall in love with war, but he didn't expect this......

"Gather all the brothers for me, put all the four Maxim machine guns of the Russians on four forts, and let the brothers beat me hard, I don't believe that they can enter this impregnable city of Taonan!" Tao Ke Taohu is still very confident in defending Taonan City, after all, this Taonan City has been captured by himself for a long time.

"Protect Lord Zhang!" Tang Yulin clamped his legs between the horse's belly, rushed forward, and cut off the head of a Meng bandit who slashed at Zhang Zuolin with a knife.

Because He Tianci had told Du Lisan and Zhang Zuolin before that whoever made great contributions in the process of exterminating the Mongolian bandits would be promoted to the position of Ma Biao Biao, Zhang Zuolin worked hard for this Ma Biao Biao Commander, so he waited for this opportunity, and rushed to the front of the team with Tang Yulin, Zhang Zuoxiang and others.

Here, Du Lisan didn't dare to show weakness, and followed closely behind Zhang Zuolin's team with a team of people, for fear that Zhang Zuolin would snatch the credit.

Looking at such a brave two, the stupid roe deer joked: "Fourth brother, don't say it, our commander Zhang and Commander Du are really working hard!" ”

He Tianci smiled slightly, but this attention was not on them, but shifted his gaze to Chen Huaitian's cannon mark.

Behind the bushes, straw bales filled with mud and sand were thickly piled up to form a half-circle, revealing only a foot-wide gap in the middle of the front, forming a makeshift artillery bunker, and a slope was dug out behind the gun emplacement, so that when it was necessary to change positions. You can quickly pull out the cannon for transfer.

Fifty-four guns were lined up, and there were more than a dozen artillerymen squatting behind each gun, some of them were holding paper and pencils, not that the gun position needed so many people, but that Chen Huaitian wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to let the new gunners learn how to use the artillery more intuitively.

Chen Huaitian pressed the military hat. Shuttle back and forth between gun emplacements, answering even the most strange questions a new gunner asks, and personally supervising the new gunners to shoot in real combat.

"Fire!"

With his shouting, more than fifty cannonballs shuttled out, and in the blink of an eye, several clouds of black-red gunpowder smoke had risen above Taonan City on the opposite side, and large bricks and tiles flew up under the explosion.

In just a moment, Taonan City was shrouded in black smoke.

In the bushes, Wang Zhankui looked at Taonan City, which was full of gunsmoke, and smiled rarely: "He is in control." Isn't it time for the infantry to attack?

The previous time he won Jing'an County was mainly the merit of the 21st Xieli, and seeing that Na Zhiwu had made a great contribution, Wang Zhankui couldn't sit still, and this time he had to fight the main attack.

He Tianci waved his hand and smiled helplessly: "Okay! All right! ”

"The big tiger rushed up to me with the brothers of the three standards! Wu Biaotong, you rush to the east gate with three standards and give me a feint! ”

After the order was given, three machine gun sheds of the three standards for the attack, three Makqin machine guns were quickly set up in front of the artillery, and canvas cartridge belts were quickly stuffed into the machine guns. The characteristic clatter of the Maxim machine gun rang out simultaneously from three sides. From the direction of the command post, the three Makqin are at each other's horns. It fired at the front of the central railroad track in an oblique manner, and the dense fire points pulled out three lines of death fire under Taonan City.

"Boom"

A cannonball exploded in front of Tauktau, and the force of the impact nearly knocked him off the wall.

"Master Tao, withdraw, the new army has artillery! Looking at the posture, we can't be long! The second leader, Bu Bush, got up from the ground with a dusty face and supported Tao Ketao.

"No, I'm leaving, brothers. What to do? Let the brothers set up four machine guns for me, and today I will let them see the bravery of our Mongols, and if I don't go anywhere today, I will live and die with this Taonan city! ”

Tauktau's eyes were bloodshot, and he was a great hero in the hearts of the Mongols. However, the backbone of the herdsmen in this city is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, and they have long put their lives aside from the day of the incident.

The main general personally supervised the battle at the city gate, and released the slogan of co-existence and death with Taonan City, and the Mongolian bandits who had been retiring regained their spirits.

"Da Da Da"

"Master Tao, we've spoken, what are we afraid of? Brothers, get me this Russian thing! The machine gunner shouted at several bandits around him as he smashed the machine gun into a fully automatic burst of fire.

The Heavy actually broke the fast and slow machine into a fully automatic burst fire! This bullet, but this firepower is really fierce...... It can't go on like this, the casualties of his own soldiers are too great. He Tianci shouted at Lu Huaitian: "Chen Biaotong, give me a few machine guns on the opposite side to knock me out." ”

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

The barrel of the 76mm gun rose quickly, folding up a touch of icy coldness.

"Load the shells!"

In the sharp whistle, the first battalion of artillery under the command of Su Liqun was loaded with eighteen Russian 76mm guns at the same time, and after the ten-pound shells were stuffed into the barrel, Chen Huaitian and another artillery team leader looked at each other and smiled.

"The muzzle of the cannon is raised by three inches, and the target is the fort on the opposite wall!" The accurate command showed the results of the artillery battalion training, and the voice just dropped a row of shells.

Clusters of artillery flames burst out in the sky above Taonan City, and the neat and uniform artillery images have not disappeared from the retina, and the explosions have been heard all over Taonan City, and the explosion is a mess on one side, and flesh and blood are flying.

Judging from the posture of the soldiers when they ran, after more than a year of training, most of the soldiers were able to skillfully lower their bodies and run in a zigzag, and the infantry line was relatively open, and after running for a while, they would lie down and cover for their comrades behind.

At the beginning, the whistle (company) was charged as a unit, and the whistle was used as a signal, and it ran to about 400 meters to spread out and change the shift (squad), and quickly lay down and crawl to push the gun forward, and waited until the whistle was suddenly sharp after the distance of 120 meters, and everyone jumped up and charged.

Without heavy fire support, the firepower of the Mongolian bandits was greatly weakened, and the soldiers who charged quickly arrived at the city of Taonan, because Tao Ke Taohu was condescending, even if he lost the support of the machine gun, he still occupied the advantage of the terrain, so even if the machine gun cover could still see the soldiers of the three standards from time to time were shot and fell.

"Hold, hold!"

Seeing the infantry on the opposite side coming up, Tao Ketao was even more anxious, pulled out his saber and shouted over and over again to stabilize the position, but the firepower of the right was too strong, the artillery on this side just stopped, and the machine gun rained bullets over and over again in front of the position, so frightened that many Mongolian bandits did not dare to look up.

"Whoever dares to run, shoot and kill!" Seeing that a bandit turned around and wanted to flee, Tauktao grabbed his saber from the heart and slashed it fiercely, splitting the soldier in half, and the gushing blood and internal organs frightened the remaining soldiers, so that they could only shoot with bullets against them.

"Let's all die." Zhang Luoman took a few soldiers to personally carry the machine gun to a high ground, quickly set up the machine gun, and took the opportunity to hit a few rows of bullets, and immediately knocked down a small piece. The same scene also appeared in several other places in the city of Taonanfu.

As the 21st Association gradually advanced towards the south gate, more than a dozen machine guns spat out tongues of fire one after another.

"Dad, the brothers below can't hold on." Tauktau's eldest son, Deliger, was covered in blood, wiping the blood from his face while shouting at Tauktau, his tone almost pleading.

"Hey!" Tao Ketao sighed: "I guess we must be surrounded now!" Gather the brothers who can still ride horses to retreat, make a surprise attack towards the south gate, and try to disturb the scattered brothers after shaking off the enemy! ”

"Master Tao, you should withdraw first, I will take a few brothers to cut off the queen for you!" Guan Buza stared at his bloodshot eyes, and said firmly, at this time, Guan Buza wanted to atone for his guilt and exchange his name for Tao Ketao's survival.

As soon as he heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in Tao Ketao's eyes, if he hadn't insisted on going his own way, he might not have been surrounded by officials and soldiers.

Looking at Guan Buza's loyalty, Tao Ketao hugged his fist at Guan Buza, reluctantly turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the north of Taonanfu City with a horseman.

At the same time, Guan Buza took out a firecracker from the warehouse, tied it to the saddle board, and then led the horse to the door hole of the south gate, where Guan Buza lit the firecracker on the horse's back, opened the door and suddenly let the horse out. The wounded bald horse rushed to the camp of the three standards with the sound of fire like a frightened bird, and Guan Buza followed closely with a horseman.

The three standards in charge of the main attack looked at the surging situation of the Mongolian bandits, and immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him: "It's not good, the Mongolian bandits want artillery, chase me!" ”

"The enemy wants to escape at the south gate, chase me. Drive! Zhang Zuolin waved his saber and roared loudly.

The battle in the north has not been very fierce, looking at the chaos at the south gate, Zhang Zuolin felt that this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he rushed over with his own brothers from the north gate.

After a loud attack, Zhang Zuolin's troops left the north gate, and the north gate was immediately opened, and Tao Ketao took the opportunity to break through at the north gate.

The movement on the south gate side was quickly captured by the first standard, the second standard and other soldiers who were fighting in the front line, it is estimated that Tao Ketao was preparing to break through at the south gate, the first and second standards changed to speed up the attack, the main general fled, and the other Mongolian cavalry who were still fighting also lost their will, and scrambled to turn their horses around and leave.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

After a burst of guns, more than a dozen Mongolian bandits led by Guan Buza were all killed, looking at Tao Ketao, who had broken through to the north, Guan Buza's eyes revealed a trace of pride, he was determined to die to cover Tao Lao's breakthrough, and his life had long been put on the line.

"Report! Sanbiao had already killed the Meng bandits who broke through, but ......, he didn't find Tao Ketao and his sons! The herald stammered, "Probably...... It may have broken through from the north gate! ”

"North Gate?" He Tianci frowned, raised the horsewhip in his hand and yelled angrily: "What is he Zhang Zuolin doing?" Inform the 21st Association to maintain order after clearing the remnants of the enemy in the city, and everyone else will chase after me. (To be continued......)
