Chapter 161: Surrender (Ask for Collection)
Lao Maozi, who had less than 100 people, not only gave up all the baggage ammunition he carried with him in order to retreat and survive, but even the only three heavy machine guns were thrown in place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Xin, the commander of the cavalry battalion, quickly adjusted the speed and direction of his horses, and chased after them with a hot face.
Soon, Lao Maozi was caught up on the battlefield.
The dozens of veterans in the cavalry battalion rushed to the front, as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, constantly using the speed of war horses, waving their sabers, and reaping the lives of the old Maozi they had caught up.
"Oh no, we were fooled...... "Listening to the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer to him behind him, the regiment commander who was surrounded by his subordinates changed his face and said with a sudden realization.
"No matter how fast we retreat, we can't do as fast as the cavalry, the Liaodong Army just wants to force us to retreat, and in the retreat, use the cavalry to destroy our ......"
"What about heavy machine guns? Quickly order the heavy machine guns to organize a defense on the spot and block the cavalry of the Liaodong Army......"
After the regiment commander's order was given, the subordinates who were gathered around him did not move.
However, their faces had become solemn and worried because of what they had just said.
"Why haven't you moved...... Quickly, order the heavy machine gun platoon to organize a defense on the spot and block the cavalry of the Liaodong Army...... Otherwise, we will all die under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Liaodong Army......" The regimental commander commanded again, like an angry lion.
At this time, the deputy head of the regiment, who looked embarrassed, finally replied: "Commander...... In order to facilitate the retreat, the heavy machine gun platoon not only lost ammunition, but also three heavy machine guns on the battlefield......"
"What?" The head of the regiment seemed to be frightened by something, and asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression.
Then, the last bit of hope in my heart was shattered.
The spirit of the whole person has also become decadent. And the thick expression of despair also appeared on the face of the regiment commander one after another.
I don't know if it's to talk to my subordinates or to myself, I said in a low and helpless tone.
"It's over, I really didn't expect that our two thousand elites would be wiped out by a group of Qing people......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the cavalry battalion came after him.
A flash of sword flashed, and the guards and officers who were guarding him fell to the ground one after another with unwilling faces.
As for the regimental commander, he did not wait for the cavalry to rush in front of him.
He knew that even if he was captured by the Liaodong Army, he survived.
However, as soon as he returns to Russia, he will still be unable to escape death. Not only that, but his family will also be implicated because he was a prisoner.
In this case, it is better for me to die here.
In this way, his family can at least get some treatment at home.
So, before the blade of the cavalry battalion reached his neck, he took out his pistol and committed suicide by drinking bullets.
Wu Xin won the gamble, and with the cavalry battalion, he not only destroyed the Lao Maozi rear guard troops, but also successfully destroyed the Lao Maozi headquarters.
"Good...... Well played...... Wu Xin is worthy of being an officer from the cavalry, and in a few months, he trained a group of recruits like this, and he was really impatient......" After watching the performance of the cavalry battalion on the battlefield, Yang Xingguo couldn't help but praise.
After finishing, he said thoughtfully: "Not surprisingly, a very important reason why Wu Xin temporarily changed my battle plan is that he wants to go to the battlefield to prove the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion, and by the way, he uses Lao Maozi's head to train the soldiers......"
"It's just that this Wu Xin is too impulsive and risky...... If Lao Maozi doesn't retreat, not only will they not be able to win against Lao Maozi, but they will even suffer heavy losses......"
"After the battle, you must talk about his ......."
Zhou Qiangsheng on the side followed closely and said: "Commander, no matter what, after this battle, Battalion Commander Wu has proved to us that the cavalry battalion has combat effectiveness and can go to the battlefield......
"In the future battles, our Liaodong Army will have another elite ......"
Through this actual battle, I have a new understanding of the cavalry battalion.
This is definitely a surprise for Yang Xingguo.
However, Yang Xingguo did not be happy for too long, so he refocused his eyes on the frontal battlefield not far from him.
Under the response and interception of hundreds of reinforcements, the two companies that launched an attack on both flanks of the battlefield successfully retreated and retreated, and the episodes were together.
However, the total strength of the two companies before the attack exceeded 300 people, and now there are only more than 100 people left.
Even with the reinforcements that had just come up, it was less than two companies of more than 200 people.
What's more, the more than 200 old Maozi were only equipped with two heavy machine guns and a small amount of ammunition left behind by the heavy machine gun company.
As for their surroundings, the total strength of the Liaodong Army was less than three hundred. However, the Liaodong Army that surrounded them was armed with three heavy machine guns and twelve Maidesen light machine guns.
Not only that, a large number of heavy machine guns left by Lao Maozi on the battlefield are being carried over in a steady stream and erected around Lao Maozi, preparing to launch the deadliest and final attack on Lao Maozi.
Soon, there were nine heavy machine guns around more than 200 old Maozi.
Holding a telescope, Yang Xingguo, who had been paying attention to every move on the battlefield, was also ready to give the final attack order.
However, at this moment, a simple white flag made of rifles and clothes appeared in Yang Xingguo's telescope.
"Wait a minute...... Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed, and he decisively stopped Zhou Qiangsheng, who wanted to give the order to attack.
"Lao Maozi may have to surrender...... If they really surrender, then we won't kill them, you know, that's more than 200 free laborers, it's a pity to kill them......"
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yang Xingguo to get the good news that Lao Maozi's more than 200 remnants wanted to surrender.
After only a brief hesitation, Yang Xingguo agreed to several conditions put forward by Lao Maozi.
Then, he ordered very decisively: "You go and tell Lao Maozi...... After surrendering, if no one offered money to ransom them, they had to work for free for ten years under the control of our Liaodong Army as a ransom for them. Ten years later, if he is willing to stay, my Liaodong Army will pay him, and if he is not willing to stay, he can return to China at any time......"
"Agree to my terms and surrender immediately...... If we don't agree, we'll attack right away, and I'll give him ten minutes to think about it. ”
Since more than 200 old Maozi have the idea of surrendering, it means that they are afraid of death.
As long as you are afraid of death, anything can be done.
Therefore, in less than five minutes, more than 200 old Maozi made the decision to surrender.
"Won...... Commander, we actually won, more than a thousand old Maozi were wiped out by us like this......" After more than two hundred old Maozi all left the position and became prisoners, Zhou Qiangsheng could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted loudly.
Yang Xingguo nodded and replied, "I did win...... It's just that this price is too great, your four battalions, plus the garrison of the headquarters, and the entire army on the mountain, are just gone......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo's face was obviously a lot lower.
However, it didn't last long, and Yang Xingguo's face returned to normal.
Facing Zhou Qiangsheng, he said in an awe-inspiring tone: "Win is win, but don't be too happy...... Don't forget, in Liaozhong, there is still a remnant of Lao Maozi that has not been wiped out by us......"
"You immediately organize the brothers who are still alive in the headquarters and leave a company behind. Bring all the others, as well as the cavalry battalion and artillery, and come with me to destroy the remaining old Maozi in Liaozhong......"
