"The Beiyang Army is really stupid, this leads them, they really follow it. Ha ha! ”

"It's not the Manchu No. 1 soldier, I don't think they're good. Just fought like this, and the Beiyang Army was finished after a few times. ”

"Our second regiment can fight. It's up to us to fight Beiyang. ”

"Chairman Chen arranged for us to fight like this before the war, when did Chairman Chen miss it? Let's follow Chairman Chen, it's absolutely right. ”

Laughter and laughter filled the garrison of the 2nd Regiment, and the first battle was a great victory, with nearly 500 enemies annihilated. Nearly four hundred guns, intact or broken, were returned, and the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment had reason to be so happy.

"Tonight's dinner is stew! It's still the old formula when Chairman Chen was in the army. After this news came out, it aroused the joy of the troops. A pig can be worth half a political commissar, and being able to taste food after the war is an infinite boost to morale. Many of the soldiers of the Second Regiment are from Fengtai County, and a year ago, Chen Ke brought pork to the labor army, which even caused a stampede in the labor camp, resulting in accidental casualties. It was the first time that the soldiers had eaten so much spiced stewed pork, and every time they ate this stew for more than a year, it made everyone extremely excited.

As the biggest contributor to this battle, the 28 soldiers in charge of the ambush were arranged together and personally commended by Xiong Mingyang, the political commissar of the Second Regiment.

"Comrades are doing a great job. In the regiment, every comrade was given a first-class meritorious service. It is hoped that the comrades will carry forward the spirit displayed in this battle and make persistent efforts. Xiong Mingyang's words were characterless, but now he could only use such simple words to praise these warriors who had turned around in front of the Ghost Gate.

There were no overly excited expressions, no ecstatic actions after the meritorious service, and none of the 28 fighters were able to fully recover from the battle. In the face of tens of thousands of Beiyang troops like a long dragon, it is not easy to dare to pull the trigger to shoot, and then retreat according to the route that has been arranged long ago.

Entering the ambush position, shooting, and running away, such a simple military operation, it took nearly a month to train alone, and these 28 people were the best fighters in the second regiment, and they were selected from the 4,000 people in the whole regiment. They were chosen because they were able to carry out military orders on their own. When there were tens of thousands of enemies in the back, and hundreds of enemies shot at them, their legs were not weak, and their heads did not look back, and they ran wildly along diagonal lines instead of straight lines.

The troops all knew that running in a straight line would be the fastest way to get closer to the enemy, and the selected fighters were told to run along a diagonal line to avoid bullets. Overcoming the instinct of running for their lives in a straight line, and the people who strictly carried out military orders were not many in the 4,000-strong Second Regiment.

The soldiers of the commando team can remember that even after practicing so many times, they still need to use great willpower to keep themselves from turning their heads to look at the situation behind them, and when the gunshots rang out like beans, they still couldn't escape in a straight line, although they ran fast, the wind almost covered the gunshots in their ears, because of the wild running, the rapid breathing almost made the lungs burst, and the soldiers still knew in their hearts that the distance between themselves and the enemy was not the most efficient. The members of the commando team are not running away from death, in order to win the next ambush battle, the fighters are dancing with death, and the fighters have to defeat death at the cost of their own lives. And all this was clearly told before the battle, and every fighter of the commando team was again clearly asked if he knew what he was doing before entering the ambush position. The 28 fighters also answered plainly, "I know, I volunteered to join the commando." ”

Therefore, everyone has long known that they will make meritorious contributions, and everyone has long known that they will still face the same dangers as this ambush countless times in the next battle. All these honors now are not worth the fuss compared to the death experienced not so long ago.

Xiong Mingyang looked at the comrades who were not arrogant or impatient, and he was very happy in his heart, he subconsciously adjusted his standing posture, and then said: "Comrades, I want to tell you another thing, among you comrades who applied to join the party, the application has been approved. Now these comrades are probationary party members. The comrades who applied to become full party members have also been approved, and now these comrades are full party members. As soon as our fighting is over in the past few days, we will hold a ceremony to join the party. Now, in my capacity as the political commissar of the Second Regiment of the People's Party, I welcome you to join the ranks of our People's Party. ”

Hearing this, for the first time, the fighters of the 28 commandos had smiles on their faces. Many of the fighters let out long sighs of relief, and some of them had tears in their eyes. To be a member of the BJP is to become a person like Chairman Chen Ke, or at least to become a member of the BJP like Chairman Chen Ke. For these fighters, this is a truly proud identity. This is an honor that is truly recognized in the base area, in the troops. It is worth the price of life in order to obtain this honor.

In the 28-member commando team, half of them are party members and probationary party members, and the rest are also active members of the party. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army is a unit of the People's Party, and there is no reason for this arduous work to be handed over to ordinary soldiers.

"Welcome new comrades to join!" Xiong Mingyang took the lead in applauding, and all the cadres and soldiers who participated in the meeting applauded together, and such a simple act contained full emotions. Some of the fighters' hands were red with excitement.

In contrast to the full mood of the People's Party's troops, the Beiyang Army was shrouded in a gloomy cloud. The large army temporarily stopped advancing in a defensive posture, and Duan Qirui gave an order that no one in the army was allowed to exchange heads and ears, and no news was allowed to be spread indiscriminately. However, this ban was of little use, and the proud soldiers of Beiyang soon knew the truth, those Beiyang troops who once rushed to the forefront and chased after the fleeing bandits, and those hundreds of Beiyang troops who were once envied to get high rewards were ambushed and have been wiped out. This terrible fact silenced the Beiyang Army.

The Beiyang Army fought against countless bandits in Hebei and Shandong, when did it ever suffer such a painful defeat. His own family knows his own affairs, and Beiyang's equipment and training are second to none in the new army. Even if the bandits of the People's Party can wipe out the Hubei New Army, in the eyes of the Beiyang Army, the People's Party is still a group of bandits, and there is no reason why bandits can defeat the Beiyang Army so cleanly. Even if they knew the truth, the Beiyang Army still couldn't accept this fact.

Duan Qirui personally inspected several ambush positions, and hastily dug a large number of individual bunker fortifications and trenches on the positions, even if there were very few bullet casings on the ground, these fortifications were obviously used. Duan Qirui tightened his lips and carefully examined everything on the battlefield. Duan Qirui is proficient in the army, this soldier who graduated from the artillery department of the Tianjin Military Academy with "the best" grades and was sent to Lushun to supervise the construction of the fort, this soldier who carried artillery shells for the position and resisted the Japanese army together with the military cadets in the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War has already seen the clues. The distance between these individual bunker fortifications and the ambush battlefield was too close, not even more than 30 meters. In other words, at such a close distance, the pursuing force of the Beiyang Army was suddenly attacked like a storm. The BJP bandits not only planted mines, but also used grenades. The battle didn't last long at all from start to finish.

Several battles were not fought at the same time, that is to say, when other ambush battles had already begun, and the pursuing troops behind the Beiyang Army had already become alert, these People's Party bandits were still calmly ambushed here, waiting for the Beiyang Army to enter the ambush circle before giving a fatal blow. Such cunning and perseverance, such discipline and training. Duan Qirui felt a chill behind him, he actually had to fight with a real outlaw.

Some of the officers who had come to inspect the battlefield had already seen the doorway, and they were as silent as Duan Qirui. Others clearly fail to see the implicit facts of the battle. "Damn, these bandits are so daring." Someone scolded like that.

"If only there were cavalry, I would never let these bandits escape." Some people said so hatefully.

After hearing this, Duan Qirui's heart was shocked, the cavalry force had already gone to Huaiyuan County. In the battle plan of the Beiyang Army, the cavalry unit first used its mobile ability to cut off the route around Huaiyuan County, which was guarded by the People's Party bandits. But the People's Party did not place troops in Huaiyuan County at all, but lost an empty city to the cavalry. So when the battle started, the cavalry with the greatest mobility was actually sitting in Huaiyuan County. However, the small number of horse exploration cavalry did not play a big role at all because of the road problem. The People's Party retreated immediately after the first blow, and if there were cavalry, Duan Qirui would at least not let the enemy retreat so smoothly. No matter what, we have to let the People's Party bandit army stay all the way. The fact is that the cavalry is far away from the main infantry, is this situation planned by the People's Party a long time ago?

Thinking of this, Duan Qirui immediately ordered, "Send someone and order Sun Yongsheng's cavalry to come back." ”

"Duan Commander, it's getting late, now let the cavalry come back?" The officer who asked this question is a person who understands that marching in this wilderness is very hard, since the cavalry has seized the county seat, not to mention anything else, it is better than being able to live under the eaves than this wind and sun, let the cavalry abandon the county seat and return to the field, Sun Yongsheng They will definitely not be convinced.

"Sun Yongsheng still dares to disobey military orders?" Duan Qirui asked rhetorically.

"This ......," the officer who had just spoken did not dare to say anything more.

Raising his head and looking at the sky, Duan Qirui added Fang Cai's order, "Before dark, you must let Sun Yongsheng rush back." ”

"We must hit Sun Yongsheng's department hard." Pu Guanshui said firmly at the pre-war meeting of the Fourth Regiment of the 104th Division.

Originally, Chen Ke hoped that Pu Guanshui would become the chief of staff, but Pu Guanshui solemnly asked Chen Ke to consider other candidates. Pu Guanshui's reason is very sufficient, and there is no shortage of people in the General Staff who are suitable to be the chief of staff, whether it is Gao Yujie, deputy chief of staff, or Chen Ke himself, they are absolutely able to effectively operate the General Staff. Moreover, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army adopted the model of two-level pre-war combat meetings within the party committees and troops, and although it looked very dirty, the actual results were quite good. In addition, Chen Ke implemented a rotation system of the German General Staff, and the commander of the unit entered the General Staff only as part of his military career. If nothing else, the troops, the general staff, and the military academies at all levels, the officers will come and go back and forth between the three, from the lower rank to the senior level, over and over again. Pu Guanshui believes that he should work in the army at this stage, not in the general staff.

If it was someone else, Chen Ke was afraid that he would have made a note on Pu Guanshui on the black account a long time ago. Even Pu Guanshui himself heard that the Central Military Commission, especially the political commissar, was quite dissatisfied with Pu Guanshui's disobedience to the organizational arrangement. If it weren't for Chen Ke's coordination, Pu Guanshui would only be afraid that life would not be easy now. But Pu Guanshui doesn't care about this, he thinks he is a soldier, and there is actually no shortage of chief of staff in the staff at this stage. Pu Guanshui knew that the responsibility of the German chief of staff was to formulate the campaign, while the responsibility for formulating the plan in the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was actually borne by the Military Commission. If you have to say it, your position in the Military Commission is outside the top ten.

When Chen Ke ordered Pu Guanshui to take charge of the work of the Fourth Regiment as the deputy division commander, Pu Guanshui did not even have the slightest objection. Being able to command an entire regiment in combat was a job he dreamed of.

In the operation against the Beiyang Army, the most elite regiment was responsible for capturing Xuzhou, the second regiment was responsible for the first movement battle, the position of the third regiment was slightly north of Duan Qirui's troops, and the position of the third regiment corresponded to the second regiment. This is for the arrangement of closing the door and beating the dog when Wang Shizhen's department goes south. There are only four regiments that are really located between Duan Qirui's department and the Fengtai County base area.

Even so, the Fourth Regiment still undertook the task of trying its best to defeat Duan Qirui's cavalry troops in the first operation. This was one of the many contingencies for the first operation. If Duan Qirui's department really let the cavalry troops occupy Huaiyuan County as Chen Ke expected, and the second regiment also dealt Duan Qirui a hard blow in the first engagement, then Duan Qirui was very likely to call the Beiyang cavalry troops back into the Beiyang brigade. At this time, the fourth regiment had the opportunity to fight.

The battle plan for striking the Beiyang cavalry units was very simple, and when the cavalry units led by Sun Yongsheng retreated, they would strike head-on on the main road. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army used not many troops, only three companies of six hundred people. Compared with the more than 800 people in Sun Yongsheng's department, they were at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers.

After the signal corps sent a notice to Pu Guanshui to prepare for battle, Pu Guanshui immediately led his troops into the preset position. There are many BJP intelligence networks in the vast field, and through the flags, those walking communication points can transmit information very effectively. Speed is only more efficient than wolf smoke and flares, which are unclassified means.

After waiting in the hidden location for a while, more prepared information came out, and Sun Yongsheng's troops left the county seat.

"Set up positions." Pu Guan Shui said coldly. This attitude is not pretended by Pu Guanshui, there is a person in the combat sequence of this unit who makes Pu Guanshui very unhappy. It was a squad leader named Jia Yongsheng, who accidentally damaged important machine gun equipment during the military training of the Fourth Regiment, when he was still an ordinary soldier. Pu Guanshui was furious at that time. The People's Party was not able to build its own machine guns, and the significance of machine guns for combat was too great, and Jia Yongsheng was damaged during training, although the troops were not allowed to scold the soldiers, Pu Guanshui was still angry at Jia Yongsheng. Jia Yongsheng, who was reprimanded, admitted that he had misoperated the operation, but regarding Pu Guanshui's attitude, Jia Yongsheng asked Pu Guanshui to make self-criticism in the soldiers' committee. The reason is simple: the BJP's attitude towards work is "right things not people." "Pu Guanshui's indiscriminate temper tantrum is obviously not right for people. More importantly, Jia Yongsheng believed that the accidental damage to the machine gun occurred by accident during an attempt on combat equipment, and Pu Guanshui obviously did not figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

This matter caused quite a lot of trouble, from the soldiers' committee to the political commissar, and the final verdict was that Pu Guanshui publicly apologized. A small soldier actually made the deputy division commander bow his head, and this matter caused quite a stir in the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. Pu Guanshui felt that his dignity had been greatly damaged. However, the development of events made Pu Guanshui even more depressed, and Jia Yongsheng not only did not suffer any other difficulties, but even promoted to the squad leader of the machine gun squad because of his "contribution to machine gun shooting". Now this squad leader Jia was actually arranged to the position where Pu Guanshui was, although Pu Guanshui thought that he was of high character, he was still very unhappy when he saw Jia Yongsheng who was concentrating on sorting out the machine gun.

The Beiyang cavalry moved quickly, and when the troops had just built a rudimentary temporary defensive line on the main road, they saw a large group of cavalry like black clouds in the distance.

Sun Yongsheng's mood today can be described as ups and downs, and the occupation of Huaiyuan County is really exciting. As a striker, Sun Yongsheng's mission was to blockade, and now he has achieved the "occupation". Siege the city, this credit and reward is definitely not small. However, in the afternoon, the herald brought Duan Qirui's order, and asked the cavalry to immediately rush back to the large army of the Beiyang Army. The meaning of the herald's words turned out to be that Duan Qirui was not happy, and even felt that it was a mistake to occupy Huaiyuan County. This can't help but make Sun Yongsheng feel aggrieved.

Withdrawing from the county with the cavalry troops, Sun Yongsheng has not yet freed himself from the negative emotions in his heart. Beiyang was ambushed, what did Sun Yongsheng have to do? Duan Qirui ordered Sun Yongsheng to attack, is this Sun Yongsheng's fault?

"Bad luck, bad luck!" Sun Yongsheng thought. Thinking of bad luck, Sun Yongsheng suddenly remembered his wife He Qian. Drinking flower wine before the expedition was a good thing, but because of Zheng Wenjie, a traitor in Beiyang, everyone broke up unhappily. Sun Yongsheng thought of what Zheng Wenjie said, Chen Ke originally had a good relationship with He Qian, but he married He Ying, and he couldn't have no pimples in his heart.

As soon as he went home, Sun Yongsheng, who was full of alcohol, didn't give He Qian a good look. However, He Qian anxiously tried to persuade Sun Yongsheng again to pretend to be sick and not participate in the army. Sun Yongsheng's original suspicion immediately exploded, and he took advantage of the strength of the wine to shout: "Are you afraid that I will kill that kid Chen Ke?" ”

He Qian, such a smart person, couldn't hear the taste of the words, and her face changed immediately. He Qian heard a little that Chen Ke seemed to have proposed to him, but temporarily changed his mind. When Sun Yongsheng said this, He Qian felt as cold as being frozen in his heart.

Sun Yongsheng actually didn't suspect that his wife had an affair with Chen Ke, he only mentioned this because he was angry. He Qian is knowledgeable, maybe it's good. But Sun Yongsheng always felt as if He Qian didn't say anything on his mind. When the husband and wife talk about things, they always can't talk about it together. Even if they can talk about it occasionally, He Qian often looks a little absent-minded. In addition, after being married for so long, He Qian is not pregnant, so Sun Yongsheng is naturally very unhappy. This incident was just a beginning, and Sun Yongsheng's accumulated dissatisfaction broke out together.

In the end, it was the old man of the Sun family who came forward to calm down the family quarrel. Sun Yongsheng looked at He Qian, who was usually calm and unhurried, and was greatly wronged, although he also felt a little remorseful in his heart, but a kind of happiness after venting occupied the main emotion.

However, after sending troops, Sun Yongsheng felt that he might have gone too far, and in order to calm this self-doubt, he found a new excuse for "self-comfort". He Qian may be a little "unlucky". Anyway, the people related to He Qian are quite unlucky. He Qian quit marriage once, and Sun Yongsheng knew it. The man dyed the willows. Since then, the He family has first become a "bandit", and the Sun family has also been affected. This may be bad luck. "Wait until you kill Chen Ke, and when you go back, you will find a monk and Taoist priest to do something, and go to bad luck." Sun Yongsheng thought.

Just thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the gunshots like popping beans in the distance, Sun Yongsheng was in good spirits, did he encounter the bandits of the People's Party?

"Sun Tong, I encountered a chaotic party on the road ahead." Tanma quickly reported.

Sun Yongsheng frowned, this bandit of the People's Party was too bold to dare to fight openly on the main road. He asked, "How many chaotic parties are there?" ”

Tanma hurriedly replied: "There are more than 300 people, all of whom use rifles, and the firepower is very fierce. We hurt a lot of brothers at once. ”

Sun Yongsheng had already made up his mind in an instant, and he must defeat this gang of chaotic parties. Duan Tong has already been ambushed, and if he can't break the chaotic party after being attacked, then he can't explain it.

When the horses rushed to the front, they saw a group of rebels in dark blue uniforms in the distance retreating as a whole, and thirty or forty people were lying in the open space between the two armies. Not far away, the horses of the dead and wounded of the Beiyang cavalry were frightened and were fleeing. Raising the binoculars, I saw that these rebels were dividing into three roads, covering in the retreat in an orderly manner, and were retreating in the direction of a pothole on the side of the road. Farther away, a grove of trees. Once the rebels retreated into that area, the cavalry was really hard to chase.

"Divided into three teams, two teams outflanked and bypassed, and these chaotic parties must not be allowed to escape." Sun Yongsheng gave the order.

The Beiyang cavalry was also an elite in the Beiyang Army, and after being suddenly attacked, they quickly stabilized their position. Under the command of Sun Yongsheng, two teams of 200 cavalry troops of 200 men each were divided into more than 800 cavalry, and they were outflanked from the left and right in two ways.

The black-pressed cavalry kept a neat line and swept across the field, outflanking the bandits. As long as the way of the bandit army is blocked, with Sun Yongsheng's experience, the earth-shaking sound of horses' hooves can frighten the courage of these bandits, and as long as their formation is slightly loosened, they can use the tactics of charging to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

"They're finally starting to take the bait." Pu Guanshui watched the actions of the Beiyang cavalry nervously. He combed through the battle plan over and over again in his mind. And the battle plan, which originally seemed to have no problems, seemed to have countless problems when faced with actual combat.

The so-called "cavalry expert" in the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was Chai Qingguo, but Chai Qingguo went to Shandong when he did not show his cavalry ability. Although Chen Ke was recognized as the most knowledgeable in the People's Party, Chen Ke himself had long admitted that he had no experience in cavalry combat, and Pu Guanshui worked out this battle plan with those officers of the cavalry unit under Chen Ke's guidance. There is no problem with this battle plan in theory, but the guiding ideology adopted has never been before, so Pu Guanshui does not know the real effect.

The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army's retreat was also speeding up under the pressure of the Beiyang cavalry, and the 300-strong troops felt the vibration of thousands of horses' hooves hitting the ground on the ground, and this feeling was difficult to describe. The biggest impact is not physical, but psychological. The originally orderly retreat began to be chaotic as the speed of retreat accelerated. The queue could no longer be maintained, and Pu Guanshui shouted: "Don't mess up, don't mess up." As if in response, the team accelerated into confusion, and everyone began to run faster, as if that way they could get farther away from the enemy.

Seeing the expected situation happen, Sun Yongsheng sneered, and then gave an order. If these bandits can maintain their formation, then it will be really difficult for the Beiyang cavalry to face the hedgehog-like formation. But the bandits collapsed psychologically first, seeing that they ran like rabbits one by one, they really effectively escaped for their lives. However, how can two legs be compared to four legs, as long as the cavalry goes to chase and kill on horseback, after killing a group of bandits, the entire bandit army will collapse immediately. That's when it's time to reap the harvest.

The cavalry of the Beiyang Army originally controlled the speed and distance of the horse, and kept the distance from the enemy as much as possible for the purpose of outflanking. Now, with the change of the banner of the Chinese army, the cavalry on both flanks urged the horses and pursued the enemy directly.

The speed of the bandit retreat became faster and faster, and at this time the formation was completely invisible, and a stream of more than 300 people rushed straight towards the woods. Because the cavalry had cautiously widened the distance from the bandits, and the ground was not very good, Sun Yongsheng felt that this distance was really difficult to say, if the bandits were allowed to advance into the woods, and then resisted stubbornly, the casualties of more than 400 people would inevitably be relatively large. The effect of a cavalry charge is actually that the greater the number, the better the effect. The enemy may seem to have more suspicious targets, but in reality they may not. Watching the overwhelming cavalry slaughter, the infantry was more likely to be overwhelmed. Moreover, when the cavalry with superior numbers attacked, once the enemy was engaged, the number of enemy counterattacks was less. Cavalry casualties will also be much less.

Sun Yongsheng's Chinese army also began to move, and soon the three-way cavalry had merged into a torrent of black pressure, and it seemed that it was about to catch up with those defeated enemy troops. The shooting accuracy on the bumpy horses was too low, and the Beiyang cavalry held their sabers high one by one, and the snow-bright blades danced in the air with rounds of snow-bright full moons. With an earth-shattering roar, they charged at their backs to their enemies.

"Da da da ......", a lot of covered bodies made of straw suddenly opened on the ground, revealing machine gun positions. The muzzle of a black machine gun was sprayed with tongues of fire. Shooting wildly at the Beiyang cavalry charging thirty or forty meters away.

This is the core of the battle plan provided by Chen Ke. The People's Party captured a total of 24 machine guns, which Chen Ke made form a deep position. For Chen Ke, this is nothing more than a plagiarism of several famous machine-gun positions in history for cavalry battles. However, the real purposeful use of this method of warfare in history was the "Eastern Front Campaign of World War I that broke out a few years later." The Russian cavalry stormed the German-Austrian positions, and the Germans did not place a large number of troops on the positions at all, but only a large number of machine-gun positions. As a result, the cavalry of several divisions was strewn with corpses in machine-gun positions.

Hearing the roar of the machine gun, Pu Guanshui shouted: "Queue!" ”

Immediately, the commanders of the various units also began to shout. The 300 soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, who had just fled with their lives, immediately stopped their pace, and then ignored the Beiyang cavalry that were rushing towards them, and quickly began to reorganize the ranks. Although the formation was not completely arranged, Pu Guanshui saw that at least seventy percent of the fighters had completed the queue, and the remaining thirty percent of the fighters who had run too far ahead were also desperately rushing back, and he shouted: "Shoot!" ”

More than two hundred rifles began to fire a volley at the rushing Beiyang cavalry. Platoon gun shooting does not need to talk about accuracy, but about angle and discipline. The platoon guns, like the ancient rain of arrows, relied on intensive and continuous shooting. The Fourth Regiment is a relatively new unit, and the key training for Pu Guanshui is discipline. This is the time for verification.

These troops used Hanyang's "Five Consecutive Beads", which could fire five bullets in one go. Pu Guanshui's only concern was that the soldiers were not disciplined enough, and they couldn't help but shoot all five bullets in one go. In order to train for these, the cavalry units in the base area simulated the charge of the Beiyang Army, and tactical drills have been conducted many times. Still, a few fighters couldn't resist firing continuously. Chen Ke talked about the "mass effect" on the battlefield in the military academy, and in the excitement and excitement, once someone does this, the soldiers will completely subconsciously imitate it. And at this time, it is the junior officers who need to stand up. Sure enough, the squad leaders immediately stopped these random shots. Even so, thirty or forty people in the entire unit began to shoot at the trend.

I've practiced it! Pu Guanshui was very unhappy in his heart, if he hadn't practiced, he was afraid that the soldiers of the army would have started shooting wildly a long time ago.

Pu Guanshui's location could not look at the overall situation, he could only control these more than 300 soldiers. There are also more than 200 fighters distributed in various machine-gun positions, and the battle of these comrades depends entirely on whether the platoon commanders can effectively carry out their training.

The forced supply of ammunition in the base area is very problematic, even after several victories, a lot of guns and ammunition have been seized. To meet the supply of the 104th Division put the logistics to the limit. The machine gun array is a big consumer of bullets, even so, Chen Ke still proposed the machine gun array against the cavalry. To train these machine gunners, a lot of ammunition was consumed. Three hundred riflemen were not enough to face these more than 800 Beiyang cavalry, and the real protagonists in this battle were the twenty-four machine gun positions. To put it more extremely, these three hundred warriors, including Pu Guanshui, are actually just bait.

Fang Cai's round of shooting only knocked down the first group of Beiyang cavalry in front, and the changes on the battlefield after the cavalry brigade began to attack were really instantaneous. Although they were also stunned by the machine gun array, the Beiyang cavalry was still carried by horses and rushed to the neatly arranged queue of 300 people.

"Shoot." Pu Guanshui had to shout again. With the order, another volley of bullets whistled towards the swarming Beiyang cavalry. Bullets concentrate on cavalry, or hit horses, but the stance of running is not so easy to change. People continued to be shot and fell off their horses, but the overall impact attitude did not change.

Pu Guanshui was ruthless, and he gave the order to break the cauldron and sink the boat, "Shoot continuously!" ”

The infantry immediately burst into gunfire, but it only lasted for a moment before stopping, and Pu Guanshui could even hear the infantrymen pulling the trigger empty.

"Infantry loading, machine gun fire!" Pu Guanshui continued to shout. In front of the infantry platoon, four machine-gun emplacements were set, which were the last line of defense.

The machine guns began to roar, and the four machine guns fired more bullets than the three hundred infantry combined. The dense bullets swept through the cavalry ranks with strong kinetic energy, and the Beiyang cavalry finally appeared on their backs.

Sun Yongsheng didn't know what was going on at first, even if more than a dozen machine-gun positions suddenly appeared, these small machine-gun positions were too insignificant compared to the torrent of more than 800 cavalry of the Beiyang Army. Even if the brothers were swept down in pieces like wheat, Sun Yongsheng didn't understand what was going on. The only thing he knew was that he had been ambushed.

The cavalry at the rear of the queue had not fully accelerated, and they almost subconsciously began to restrain their horses, and many of them were manpower under the dual effect of dense gunfire and the master's forcible reining in horses. The whole team was immediately in disarray, the cavalry in the front row had accelerated, and the panicked ranks of the Beiyang Army soon became two.

It's hard to say which part was more lucky, as the charging team crashed into the muzzles of the infantry and machine guns. The cavalrymen who stopped in the back row sat high on their horses and became good targets for machine guns. The machine gunners did not need to shake the muzzle of the gun at all, but only used the recoil of the machine gun to turn the muzzle slightly, and the fan formed by the rain of death bullets was enough to cover the Beiyang cavalry.

"Sun Tong takes ......" An officer just shouted to Sun Yongsheng, and then his entire neck was cut off by bullets, and hot blood sprayed Sun Yongsheng's face. Sun Yongsheng snorted, and subconsciously shouted: "Withdraw!" Remove! While shouting, Sun Yongsheng turned his horse's head in the chaos and began to retreat. Before him, already some of the Beiyang cavalry began to flee. In the roar of machine guns, the cavalry unit of the Beiyang Army was like a big snake writhing in pain, and the whole formation completely collapsed.

If you count the machine guns starting to fire, the actual battle lasted no more than ten minutes. More than half of the Beiyang cavalry was annihilated, and it took less than half an hour to solve and eliminate the last remnants of the enemy. Pu Guanshui felt that the whole time seemed to be a moment, and it seemed to be an extremely distant thing.

The ground was full of wounded and dead, and as far as the eye could see, except for the Beiyang cavalry who had fled far away, there were frightened horses everywhere. The battle is over.

At this time, the troops responsible for the finishing also appeared, with cavalry and infantry. Everyone was chasing the horses. Military horses are too important for the base area. In the operational arrangement, the number of troops responsible for catching horses far exceeded the number of troops engaged in combat.

Looking at the dead and dead horses all over the ground in front of him again, as well as the wounded and injured horses who were still struggling, Pu Guanshui couldn't help but bite his fingers. Victory, and this victory came so unreal. When fighting, when pretending to escape, the panic in his heart was not pretended, and Pu Guanshui's heart was really full of fear. He once thought that he was a brave soldier who was not afraid of death, but even if he knew that he was feigning defeat, and knew that the faster he ran and the closer he was to the machine gun position, the safer he would be. But the earth-shattering horse's hooves behind him still filled Pu Guanshui's heart with the fear of death.

When I really saw the victory, the original fear came up unsuppressed, and the joy of victory was completely overwhelmed. Pu Guanshui felt that his legs were weak, so he sat on the ground so softly.

However, Pu Guanshui is a soldier after all, and there are still a small number of brain cells still engaged in military-related thinking at this time. This is not a war that Pu Guanshui is familiar with. Everything Pu Guanshui learned in the German military academy and in the Beiyang Army was shaken. Pu Guanshui suddenly suspected that the undoubted military strategist Zhuge Kongming who he saw in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms really existed. Chen Ke has not been on the battlefield for a long time, at least Pu Guanshui has never seen Chen Ke personally on the front line. Even in the first Anqing Campaign, Chen Ke was only in the headquarters very close to the front line. The only thing that could become a commander was to face the last stubborn resistance of the Anhui New Army in Anqing City, and Chen Ke ordered everyone to break through the wall and attack.

The most difficult thing for officers is to come up with effective solutions in the face of rapidly changing situations. But these difficulties seem to be completely absent for Chen Ke. Chen Ke can always come up with the best solution to the problem in front of him, or dozens or hundreds of miles away.

If Pu Guanshui was allowed to make a plan, Pu Guanshui would never have figured out how the 500-strong infantry could deal with more than 800 cavalry with his military education. It is even more impossible to ask the General Staff to use the "Chen Ke equation" to calculate the problem of firepower distribution, as Chen Ke did. Pu Guanshui closed his eyes tightly, and Chen Ke's appearance appeared in his mind, which was a conversation between Chen Ke and Pu Guanshui after formulating this battle. With a little regret on his face, Chen Ke said: "If our plan can succeed this time, the future battle can only take the absolute right path." The Beiyang Army is not stupid, they have suffered such a big loss, they will definitely not act rashly again. ”

Pu Guanshui now believes in Chen Ke's prediction, the first phase of the battle has ended, and the next thing to see is how Duan Qirui behaves.

Duan Qirui didn't know that Pu Guanshui, the "rebel general" of Beiyang, remembered him at this time, and because there was no telepathy, Duan Qirui neither sneezed nor shivered. The commander of the third town of Beiyang did not know that the remnants of the cavalry force of more than 200 people were fleeing to the Beiyang Chinese army. On the first day of the battle with the enemy, the third town of Beiyang lost nearly one-tenth of its own troops.
