September 26, 1900, around three o'clock in the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as there was a fierce argument among the officers in the Wolf Domain General Headquarters, in the Suihua area, most of the main forces of the Xigang Army Division, totaling more than 7,000 troops, were quietly approaching the Qing army camp, preparing to block the main force of the Qing army under the Changshun Division in Sifang Town.

During the day, because the 202nd Regiment had to cooperate with Zhang Zuolin's 106th Regiment to do the recruitment and surrender work, and most of the men and horses of the 203rd Regiment were also guarding the prisoners in Moling Town, and the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion also had their own tasks, only the 201st Regiment had been following and harassing the Changshun Division.

From the day to about ten o'clock in the night, Zhang Zuolin made great contributions, successfully recruited more than 4,000 people in one day, and solved most of the hidden dangers, so at night, Yue Weiyun was finally able to free his hands and attack the three battalions of the cavalry battalion, the artillery battalion, the 202nd regiment and the 203rd regiment, all of which attacked overnight and rushed to Suihua Sifang Town.

"Hehe, Qing Jun is still really big-hearted, and they sleep so soundly."

Wu Dachun, the commander of the cavalry battalion, led a battalion of soldiers and horses, responsible for guarding a small exit in the south of the town.

Sifang Town, as the name suggests, extends in all directions, the existence of a transportation hub, to the east can reach Qing'an County, to the south it goes directly to Suihua Mansion, to the west can lead to Liantai Town, to Wangkui County, to Qihar, the capital of Heishui Province, to the north, it is needless to say, Suileng County, Bei'an, Aihui, etc., here is the only way.

"Sleep, not necessarily down-to-earth, but they must be physically and mentally exhausted, this gang of Qing Army, the quality is too poor, and there must not be much training in ordinary times, this has been rushing for several days, physical strength is certain, and then can't keep up, plus yesterday was pursued by the 201st regiment, frightened, frightened and tired, once this lay down, it must be like a dead pig." Chief of Staff Qiao Wu analyzed: "It's like those light and dark sentinels just now, damn it, I've never seen such a sentry, all of them are sleeping there, this is also a sentry?" ”

Changshun is also an old general, although he is not a famous general, but after all, he is a military general, and he has fought a lot of battles when he was young, set up a lot of attacks, and arranged some light and dark sentinels, this kind of basic common sense is still there, but the commander understands one thing, how the execution of the people below is, and it is another situation, just tonight, the special combat team of the Xigang Army Division with some elite backbones of each regiment easily pulled out the light and dark sentinels around Sifang Town, and then there is the formation of this encirclement.

More than 7,000 people, surrounding the Qing army with twice the strength of their troops, the soldiers of the regiments and battalions of the Black Dragon Army not only did not feel the slightest inappropriateness, but were able to talk and laugh here, I have to say, this can be regarded as a kind of contempt for the Qing army.

"What Brother Qiao said is reasonable, but Commander Yue asked me to wait for the siege and not attack, hey, if you want me to say, just kill them and solve them in one fell swoop, why do you spend so much trouble?" Wu Dachun was a little puzzled.

"Haha, so, Commander Yue is the commander, and you, Wu Dachun, can only be the battalion commander." Qiao Wu said with a smile, obviously, they have a very good relationship, otherwise they would not make such a joke, after all, although the chief of staff is at the same level as the battalion commander, but because of the different division of labor, it is actually equivalent to half a level lower.

"Bullshit, after this battle, why do we have to upgrade our cavalry battalion to a level, I'll mention it to the commander when I go back, this time we want a source of soldiers, the commander can't stop us from expanding, besides, the two of us are now enjoying regimental treatment, there is no reason not to let us expand." Wu Dachun said a little depressed.

After all, Wu Dachun was at the same level as the 201st Regiment Commander Montauula and the 202nd Regiment Commander Vlar, and their contributions were not less than theirs, or even more than them, but they were all regiment commanders, and he was only enjoying regimental treatment, of course he was also anxious, and he couldn't let people be one level higher for nothing.

And this time, more than 10,000 beards and militia groups were captured, and seeing that these 15,000 regular troops of the Qing army were the dishes on the plate, after the end of this battle, it should definitely not be difficult to find two more battalion-sized cavalry, so there will be Wu Dachun's remarks.

However, Chief of Staff Qiao Wu smiled mysteriously, of course, with a little helplessness, and said, "Battalion commander, this time, I'm afraid it's also mysterious." ”

Wu Dachun was stunned for a moment, and said a little puzzled: "Why do you say that?" ”

Qiao Wu shook his head and said: "The specific situation is not clear, but before coming out of Moling, I happened to hear Chief of Staff Tie and Commander Yue discussing some issues, it is said that it was a telegram from the headquarters, so that they can also participate in the discussion, in fact, if we don't have a task tonight, I'm afraid, our Xigang Military Sub-district will also hold a regiment-level officer meeting to discuss this topic." ”

"What's the problem, it's so important, and it's also related to whether we can be upgraded to a regiment?" Wu Dachun asked.

"I heard that yesterday morning, the Six-Nation Observation Group arrived in Aihui, but the so-called Observation Mission has been merged with the coalition forces and wants to form an eight-nation coalition to attack our Black Dragon Army." Qiao Wuyan said.

"****, none of these foreign devils have any good things, all of them are damn by his grandmother." Wu Dachun said hatefully: "Then what is there to discuss, since you want to fight us, then won't it be over if you kill them?" ”

"You?"

Qiao Wu looked at Wu Dachun, a little helpless, Wu Dachun's ability to fight is good, and his horseback kung fu is stronger, but it is too rough, although most of the officers of the Black Dragon Army are born with bandit beards or mud legs, but they can be the military chief of the battalion and regiment level, and they are all heroic (beard leader, leader of the civilian team, or family history, disciple of the Yue family, etc.), the stomach can be without ink, but it is definitely a person with a brain, they all know the general trend, and they are willing to learn advanced things, but Wu Dachun, ******** is just thinking about how to fight, and to be honest, this is one of the reasons why the cavalry battalion has not been expanded.

"Forget it, I won't tell you, when this battle is over, there should be a result on the headquarters side, and when the time comes, we will be able to know, here, the explanation is not clear." Qiao Wuyan said.

"I can't explain it, it's okay now anyway, you ......"

"I'm Yue Weiyun, please reply in turn when you receive it."

When Wu Dachun was about to ask Qiao Wu to continue to explain, Yue Weiyun's voice suddenly sounded inexplicably, Wu Dachun and Qiao Wu were stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it turned out that the voice came from the small backpack on Wu Dachun's waist, which was the walkie-talkie sent by Yue Weihua when he came to Medal Zuolin in the first half of the night.

The brick-sized walkie-talkie can be seen in the advanced nature of this era, but in order to prevent accidents, it is currently only configured to the battalion-level officers, of course, the walkie-talkies that can receive the signal of Commander Yue Weiyun are only the military commanders of the regiments and directly subordinate battalions and other combat units, otherwise, it will not be chaotic.

Wu Dachun carefully took out the walkie-talkie from the small backpack, it was called a careful, like holding a little baby, and then he heard the voices coming from it one after another, the first to reply, naturally the 201st Regiment Commander Montaula, then the 202nd Regiment Commander Vlaar, the 203rd Regiment Chief of Staff Acting Regiment Commander Qin You, Qin You's voice passed, Wu Dachun immediately pressed the dialogue button, and then said loudly: "I am Wu Dachun, the cavalry battalion is ready." ”

After Wu Dachun finished speaking, he turned off the dialogue button again, and then smiled at Qiao Wu: "Oh, this thing, it's just, god, it's too godly, you say our commander-in-chief, what kind of immortal reincarnation is it, how can you always come up with these strange but practical things?" ”

"Wu Dachun, listen to the order."

Qiao Wu reminded, because all the combat units had already reported in turn, then next, there was no doubt that Yue Weiyun was going to speak and issue orders.

"Attention all units, now start the right time, now the time is a quarter past three in the morning, except for the field artillery battalion, all units, all the mortar crews under their command are ready to strike at the town of Sifang on time after ten minutes in the morning, that is, at 3:25, the artillery fire lasts for one minute, repeat,......。"

Because the Qing army came from the south and passed through Sifang Town, the people of Sifang Town have long disappeared, and there is only the Qing army in Sifang Town, therefore, the Black Dragon Army does not need any scruples, and although Sifang Town is not large, it covers an area of two or three miles, but in order to be able to smoothly implement the encirclement, the encirclement is a bit large, basically all units are closest to Sifang Town are thousands of kilometers away, so they are not worried about the artillery fire of their own team in the east of their side, and they will go from their own team to the west. After all, the accuracy of mortars is still very high.

Ten minutes later.

Thundered!

Thundered!

Thundered!

50 mm caliber mortar, although the caliber is not large, but the power is not small, especially all the mortars of the regiments and battalions directly under the Xigang Army Subdivision of the entire Black Dragon Army, the total number of more than 600 guns, even if it is only a minute of shelling, even if each mortar only shoots out three shells, it is 1,800 shells on the ground.

The Qing army located in Sifang Town, even if the soldiers who slept and died, were instantly frightened, because the sound of artillery was too dense, coming from all directions, and Sifang Town became like a powder keg, rumbling explosions, one after another.

"Enemy attack."

"Get down, don't run around."

"Ah, help me."

……

This wave of artillery attacks is very short, but the deterrence is very strong, although it is a blind set, indiscriminate attacks, but the casualties are not small, after all, the Qing army of more than 10,000 people, in the town is still very dense, the preliminary estimate of the Qing soldiers who died in this round of artillery fire, must be more than a thousand, or even more.

"Damn, I've already chosen to evacuate, why can't the Black Dragon Army let us go?"

Jilin General Changshun crawled out of the ruins with his hair scattered, his expression was a little sluggish, and he was obviously frightened.

"Your Excellency."

"General, are you alright?"

……

A group of guards rushed over, hurriedly helped Changshun up, asked this and that, until they were sure that Changshun was fine, and then helped Changshun to sit in the house next door that had not been bombarded by artillery fire, and at this time, the main generals of the pacesetters and horses of the Changshun army also arrived.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time, it seems that we are going to be loyal here."

Changshun's words are full of despair, and it can even be said that they are doing everyone, one by one, they have almost no intention of fighting, you know, they still have more than 10,000 horses in their hands, and they haven't even figured out how many people there are on the other side, the only thing that can be determined is that they are surrounded, because the cannons are coming from all directions.

"General, let's break through."

After a long silence, a young general finally stood up and proposed to break through, the Qing army still has more than 10,000 people, even if half of the people are left to continue to block along the way, the other half should be able to break through, of course, if the whole army is full of fighting spirit, one by one and die, this is naturally no problem, even with the Black Dragon Army to fight to the death, it is not impossible, after all, the number of the Qing army occupies an absolute advantage, think about our Taizu in Goryeo, isn't it millet plus rifles, holding human lives, and finally winning the advanced American imperialism.

It's a pity that the Qing army can't be compared with Taizu's army, and even comparing it is an insult to Taizu and those martyrs.

Breakthrough?

Changshun sighed, breaking through, he hadn't thought about it, but he really didn't think it was a good strategy, because the Black Dragon Army was so terrifying that they could beat Lao Maozi's ass and urine, and his own team, even when they saw Lao Maozi, they fled from the wind, how could they beat an enemy stronger than Lao Maozi?

Speaking of which, Changshun is really old, it's not that he's afraid of death, but he's afraid of too many casualties of his subordinates, who surrendered to Lao Maozi at the beginning, is also the same idea, he thinks that it can not only reduce the unnecessary sacrifices of his subordinates, but also save the people from war, this kind of surrender is worth it in his opinion.

Since Lao Maozi can descend, as a compatriot of the Black Dragon Army, what can't I do in Changshun?

This is really what Changshun thinks at the moment, and he sighed, he said at the beginning that he would be loyal and resolutely not mention the matter of resistance, just hoping that these subordinates would raise it one by one and surrender it, but unfortunately one guy proposed to break through, which made it difficult for Changshun to do?

Chang Shun glanced at the person who spoke, and knew that it was Yuan Hu (that is, the commander of the standard and the regiment), who was the only cavalry team under his command, no wonder this guy wanted to break through, but the other generals still seemed to be silent.

Watching this scene fall into dead silence again, and listening to the noise outside, Changshun sighed again, anyway, since someone proposed to break through, then you must try, otherwise no one knows if it will work, maybe the Black Dragon Army may not be so powerful, after all, it has not been fought yet, and it must be known after a fight.

So Changshun spoke: "Counselor Yuan, since you proposed to break through, what do you think about how to break through?" ”

Yuan Hu heard Changshun's roll call, so he stood up and said: "When the cannon sounded just now, I carefully observed, the cannon sound is indeed from all directions, it should be said that except for the northern cannon sound, the other three sides are almost the same, but we can't go in the north, but can only break through from the east, south and west, as for the specific side of the breakthrough, there is actually no difference." ”

"However, after all, Sifang Town is a place that extends in all directions, and the cannon sound of the Black Dragon Army is also two or three miles away, even if the Black Dragon Army surrounds it, it should mainly block the avenue, and it is impossible to seal all places, my opinion is that while the night is dark, our whole army, with the team as a unit, will disperse and break through, and go out as much as you want, of course, we, the military commanders, should be scattered in three directions, so that after the breakthrough, we will gather the team again and reassemble and evacuate,......。"

If the Qing army wants to break through head-on, it is indeed difficult, but if it is according to Yuan Hu's words, it is not the Black Dragon Army to fight head-on, but chooses to break through with a small team and intersperse it from the gaps, which is somewhat feasible, after all, with the strength of the Black Dragon Army, it is absolutely impossible to surround the Sifang Town, after all, the Black Dragon Army is thousands of kilometers away from the Sifang Town, and such a large encirclement must be to block the main passage.

However, Yuan Hu's strategy is also very risky, because if it is dispersed in this way, then the Qing army will not have half of the resistance, and once it encounters, it will only be destroyed or surrendered, that is, whether everyone can escape is purely a matter of luck.

But it's not bad to be able to gamble on luck, it's better than choosing to surrender directly, if you really have bad luck and are blocked by the Black Dragon Army, then surrender again, the ending is not the same.

So everyone expressed their support and could give it a try.

"In that case, let's disperse and break out."
