Chapter 239: The Battle of the Eighteen Lianbao Begins
Xigang Army Division, Headquarters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's passive." Yue Weiyun sighed and said depressedly.
The fact that the main force of the Western Route Coalition Army had withdrawn was confirmed by the Ministry of Intelligence within half an hour after the suspicion, and the entire city of Morgan was basically empty at this moment, and the remaining troops were only one regiment of Tsarist Russia and one standard of the Qing army, totaling more than 4,000 people.
"Hehe, Commander, we should be content too." Chief of Staff Tie Lin sneered: "Even if a pig has suffered several losses in a row, he knows that he has to be flexible, which is understandable, but it is not necessary to say that he is passive." ”
"Oh, what does the Iron Chief of Staff think." Yue Weiyun was stunned.
"Where did I get some opinions, but I have some opinions, which may be different from what everyone thinks." Tie Lin continued: "We all read the battle report of the Wolf Domain Headquarters yesterday, relying on strong fortifications, fighting against Tsarist Russia, although we held it, we also killed and injured a large number of opponents, but we also sacrificed more than a thousand brothers, and the battle loss ratio was just over five. ”
"Commander, you can recall that in the wars we have with Tsarist Russia in the past, even in the battle of Fuxian County, the battle loss ratio was not so low, and the casualties were not so large."
"So, I think that the most suitable way for our Black Dragon Army to fight should be to attack instead of defending, rather than defending instead of attacking, of course, when I say this, I definitely don't deny the combat strategy of the headquarters, the headquarters must have the headquarters in mind."
"But take a step back, our fortifications in Xigang and the fortifications in the wolf domain of the headquarters are definitely several levels behind, if the Western Route Coalition Army launches a fierce attack, our casualties will probably only be greater than the headquarters, and the battle loss ratio is also lower, and now Tsarist Russia has chosen to take a detour to leave, although it seems to have turned passive into active, but the next battle will be more beneficial to our Black Dragon Army, because this is the way we are good at fighting."
"Commander Yue, what do you say?"
"Hehe, Lao Tie, it still sounds a little reasonable, but at this moment, the Western Route Coalition Army has taken the lead, and we are still a little passive." Yue Weiyun smiled, and continued: "Moreover, the pressure on the headquarters will increase a lot, but with the commander-in-chief here, their shoulders can bear it, hey, anyway, the wood is already in the boat, let's discuss it next, what should we do next?" ”
"The next step is naturally to kill the bait left by Tsarist Russia first, more than 4,000 people, which is not a few."
"Well, that's right, if we don't kill these people, we won't be able to let go north to chase and kill the main force of the Western Route Alliance, but we also need to think about it."
……
Aihui, Wolf Domain, General Headquarters.
"The Tsarist Russian Western Route Coalition has gone north, hehe, Kuzuosco is so courageous, he actually does this, is he not afraid of being attacked by the enemy on his belly and back?" Yue Weihua looked at the map and smiled, he didn't seem to feel too worried because the Western Route Alliance Army was heading north.
"Commander-in-chief, judging from the actions of the Tsarist Russia East Route Coalition Army outside, Tsarist Russia may want to launch a general offensive directly." General Counsel Yang Fengxiang said solemnly.
As soon as the day dawned, the Tsarist Russian East Road Coalition Army continued to move, first the main force of a division of Tsarist Russia attacked in a big way, encircling part of the west and north of the wolf domain, and the southeast two sides of the wolf domain are deep in the Buren Mountain, and the inner part of the north is close to a large canyon, which is a moat that cannot be crossed, so it is equivalent to Tsarist Russia using the strength of a division to completely block the exit passage of the Black Dragon Army.
The west and part of the northern side of the Wolf Domain are about five or six kilometers long, and the main entrance to the Wolf Domain, which is where the main position of the first line of defense is located, is located in the central area of the west, and the auxiliary positions are on both flanks, while most of the rest of the place are rolling mountains, of course, there are also some hidden passes, from which the cavalry regiment came out last night, and today, these passes are all blocked.
The main force of the Qing army also marched in the direction of the Eighteen Lianbao at the same time, it is said that the Shengjing general Zeng Qi personally led the team, at least more than 10,000 people, including cavalry, infantry, and even the artillery regiment of Tsarist Russia.
That's not all, after the East Route Coalition Army arrived at the fixed destination with the main force, the remaining soldiers and horses of the entire East Route Coalition Army, including the logistics system, were all moved from the Cuiliugou area to a mountain col two or three kilometers away from the Wolf Domain.
With such a posture, it is indeed not difficult to see the other party's intentions, and the Western Route Coalition Army also directly gave up attacking Xigang, and instead came to converge as soon as possible by detouring, which further confirms what Yang Fengxiang said.
"If Tsarist Russia attacks the mountains in an all-round way, then this front may be a little too long, and our troops may be overstretched, if the other side still chooses to continue to attack, then our soldiers may not have enough time to rest, in this way, it will greatly affect the ability to fight for a long time, so, I think, we may need to consider when to give up the first line of defense and directly enter the second line of defense to fight." Chief of Staff Yue Xiang continued.
After all, there are many people in the eastern route of Tsarist Russia, once it converges with the coalition army on the western route, the number of the coalition army of the Qing court of Tsarist Russia will reach 120,000, if you add the 30,000 Qing troops who have arrived in the ice city, the total strength will reach 150,000, and the first line of defense is about five or six kilometers long, although most of them are mountains, even high mountains, but they are not impossible to climb, as long as the other party appears where it is, you must send corresponding forces to defend, otherwise, it is very likely to be infiltrated by the opponent's small force.
And the second line of defense, there are only about three kilometers along the line, the key is to further compress the opponent's space, after all, into the mountain, the road is also narrow, even if it is the main position, the troops that can be invested at one time are far less than the first line of defense, and the Black Dragon Army can liberate more teams, can take turns to fight, and can get more rest time.
"It's really something to consider." Yue Weihua nodded and responded: "Yesterday I went to the main position of the first line of defense to see, many fortifications were destroyed, and they couldn't be repaired, fortunately, last night I got rid of an artillery regiment of the other side, and another artillery regiment was diverted in the direction of the eighteenth fort, the pressure on the main position today should be much smaller, but the pressure on Luo Qing will increase a lot, I think so, let the defense areas of the marines and engineer regiments on both wings expand a little more on both sides." ”
"That's fine, but I wonder if I can let the teaching team go up to the new barracks and see the blood." Yang Fengxiang proposed.
There are about 1,200 recruits in this new battalion, and they have been formally trained in the Black Dragon Army for about half a month, as the only source of post-war reinforcement for each regiment, it is indeed an opportunity to train them in advance to familiarize themselves with the battlefield, and the battlefield is not too intense.
"Well, that's a good idea,......。
"Report, telegram in the direction of the Eighteen Lianbao, the Qing army fired the first shot."
"Hehe, I didn't expect that today's battle started from the Eighteenth Union Fort, I don't know if our third Commander Yue can fight the first battle of their Moling Army Division."
"Commander-in-chief, I heard that you have opened a small stove for Yue Hai again in the past few days, that guy is also thick-skinned, the battle has not started in the past few days, and the shells have been several times overcharged."
"Whoever opens a small stove, don't frame me."
……
Eighteen Lianbao, located in the southwest of the second station, is about 20 miles away from the wolf domain, and is located on the periphery of the Buren Mountains like the wolf domain, and the mountain road between the eighteen Lianbao and the wolf domain (that is, through the mountain road inside the Buren Mountains) has already been opened, so that the distance between the two sides has been shortened to more than ten miles.
Obviously, the allied forces of the Tsarist Qing court must have known about the existence of this passage, so they were ready to take the Eighteen Lianbao, so that they could not only increase the channel for attacking the wolf domain, but also block another exit between the Black Dragon Army and the outside world.
For this reason, Sheng Jing personally led a cavalry association, two infantry associations, and a field artillery regiment of Tsarist Russia, with a total of more than 15,000 soldiers to the Eighteen Forts, which made the anger of the Eighteen Forts suddenly tense, but fortunately, before the war, the women, old and children in the village had already moved to the Yunxia Valley Life Base for refuge, otherwise, at this moment, the Eighteen Forts were only afraid that the chickens and dogs would jump.
Eighteen forts, in fact, is composed of eighteen villages, a total of more than 1,000 households, a population of more than 5,000 people, of which Qiaojiabao is the largest tun in the eighteen forts, with nearly 200 households, more than 900 people, and Qiaojiabao is also the outermost village, now facing the attack of the Qing army, naturally it is also the first to bear the brunt.
Of course, today's Qiaojiabao is also the garrison of the Moling Military Division.
Moling Army Divisional Headquarters.
"Commander, you let the militia fight the first battle with the Qing army outside, if this spreads, I'm afraid that Captain Qiao Sanqiao (captain of the Marine Corps) will have to duel with you next time he sees you, by the way, there are many brothers who serve in the army in the Eighteen Lianbao, I don't know what to say about you behind my back." Li Yunfei, chief of staff of the Moling Military Division, said helplessly.
Because at this moment, three or four miles away, the Qing army and the militia of the Eighteenth Fort have begun to fight, and as the main force of the defense of the Eighteenth Fort, it is not on the battlefield at this moment.
"Hehe, as for it, it's just to let them resist a little, not let them fight to the end, besides, Qiao San has already said that the militia is under my command, besides, how different is the combat effectiveness of this militia regiment from the regular troops of our military division after our training during this period of time, and the equipment I have equipped them." Yue Hai smiled and continued: "Didn't you see that before leaving, I asked Qiao Jinbao, the head of the militia group, to retreat while fighting, and when he feinted defeat all the way, he looked unwilling." ”
The total strength of the Moling Army Sub-district is only 2,500 people, of course, although the sparrows are small, there are cavalry battalions, artillery battalions, and as many as 200 mortars, of course, 100 of them are obtained from small stoves, and the artillery shells are prepared several times the base of other regiments, and as for light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, grenadiers, and so on, they are all supernumerary equipment.
Of course, for this reason, the militia of the Eighteen-Union Fort must be the beneficiary, since the Moling Army Division settled in the Eighteen-Union Fort, Yue Hai not only took the more than 600 militia regiments of the Eighteen-Union Fort to train, but also continued to change the militia regiment, so far, the equipment owned by this militia is almost no different from the other two infantry battalions of the Moling Army Division, of course, the result of this is naturally to make this militia group grateful, for Yue Hai's order, that is also absolute obedience, in this way, to say who benefits, it is naturally difficult to say.
"That guy, forget it, since that's the case, then I'll go up the mountain first, Commander Yue, you also pay attention to safety."
Li Yunfei smiled, and before leaving, he specially advised, no way, although the commander Yue in front of him is good and has good battlefield command ability, but there is only one point, that is, he likes to charge ahead, and he takes the lead, I have to say that this may have become the tradition of the Black Dragon Army, because this is the spirit handed down by the commander-in-chief Yue Weihua.
But in fact, in Li Yunfei's view, for a general, especially the boss of a team, what he should do is more to command behind the scenes and lead the overall situation, rather than charging into battle.
"I know, you're about to catch up with my eldest brother, rambling, really." Yue Hai waved his hand and said impatiently.
"Ahem, Commander Yue, the guns have no eyes, pay more attention, although our Moling Army Division has been established, it has not really arrived in Moling, you must not have an accident."
"Fuck you, get out of here."
After Li Yunfei left, Yue Hai went out and came to the small square, looked at the neat cavalry battalion, and then suddenly said: "Listen to me, I will act in a decent way, life is like a play, and the battlefield is in the play, it all depends on acting skills, understand?" ”
"Understood."
"Let's go."
……
Three or four miles east of Qiaojiabao, the pass of the Twin Mountains.
Bang bang bang!
Da-da-da-da!
The Qing army and the 18th Lianbao militia have been fighting for more than ten minutes, but the battle is not slow, because of the narrow battlefield, the Qing army only put in a battalion of soldiers and horses, and this battalion of soldiers and horses did not charge, but in the pass 100 meters away, with the militia group shooting, it is really leisurely, fought for a long time, both sides are estimated not to have killed a few people.
"What is the Qing army doing, if this battle is fought like this, Lao Tzu just wants to act, and he has no chance." Qiao Jinbao, the leader of the militia group, was in the dark castle on the side of the Twin Mountains, scolding.
"Hehe, regiment commander, if we don't rush out and kill Ya in one fell swoop, isn't it just hundreds of Qing troops, and the weapons in their hands are like burning sticks, and it will be a matter of minutes to destroy them." Wu Youzhi, the captain of the second team of the militia group, shouted and stroked the submachine gun in his hand over and over again, which is called a baby.
Syllable!
"Commander, why are you beating me?" Wu Youzhi touched the back of his head and said aggrievedly.
"You fuck, I forgot how to explain the task before you went out, and you actually dared to instigate Lao Tzu to charge, I think you have itchy skin, right?" Joaquin scolded him.
"How can I have it, it's really too much water for the Qing army, and besides, their large troops are two kilometers away, so we can withdraw after the fight, it's completely too late." Wu Youzhi muttered to himself: "After we win the first battle, it's not too late to feign defeat, after all, it is the first battle of our militia group, so we are defeated, how will we see people in the future." ”
Syllable!
Wu Youzhi was slapped on the back of the head again.
"Get out of the way, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army here, Lao Tzu will kill you."
was instigated by Wu Youzhi like this, Qiao Jinbao almost couldn't hold back, until he thought of what his cousin Qiao San had repeatedly told him to go to the battlefield, and the most important thing was to abide by discipline and orders, so he couldn't help it.
"Damn, this battle is fought, what's this called, this is too gentle, isn't it?"
