With Feng Yuxiang leading the way, this cavalry company boldly went straight to the Dagukou fort, if it could be successfully taken, the reinforcements from the sea could arrive quickly, for this cavalry company that was not allowed to participate in the attack on Tianjin City, this was already the greatest credit they could make.

However, there were as many as 3,000 defenders of the Dagukou Fort, and in order to achieve such a goal, the strength of a mere company was too small.

However, Zhao Hu is not a conservative biochemical soldier, before joining the Flying Tiger Army, he had been a horse thief (self-proclaimed hero) for more than ten years, even if there are a lot of rules now, but he is still the outlaw in his bones.

Originally, when this cavalry company was sent to Dagu, the task it received was only to cut off the battlefield and cut off the connection between the Qing army in Dagukou and the Qing army in Tianjin, but what Zhao Hu didn't expect was that he only tentatively attacked Dagukou Town, and the thousands of defenders inside completely collapsed

Well, in fact, it's not just here, the main force of the cavalry regiment's attack on Tianjin was also just a trial, but it turned out to be too bad because the Qing army was too bad and did a fake show, which surprised Li Hui, who was far away in Shandong, no way, the Qing army at this time was so bad

Since the Qing army was so weak, why not strike while the iron was hot and knock down the nearby Dagukou fort? That's a first-class achievement!

However, after all, not all Qing troops are so sparse, as the "screen of Jinmen" that must be taken from the sea to attack Beijing, Dagukou Fort has always been highly valued by the Qing court, even if the Liaoning front line is tight now, there have been 3,000 soldiers and horses here, and the elite level has always been the top in the country (here to explain, most of the Qing troops in Dagukou Town were transferred to reinforce the Fengtian battlefield, and the defenders of the fort are not a system.) At the same time, they also have a general soldier who is very popular with the military.

After all, the cavalry company is only a company, and it is only less than 200 people when it is full, and after deducting the personnel who have been reduced and stayed in the town to take care of the prisoners, even if Feng Yuxiang is counted, there are only 118 people brought by Zhao Hu to attack the fort, and there are no cannons. Even if the Dagukou Fort was completely undefended against attacks from behind due to design flaws, it would not be possible to take it down by just one hundred and ten people

Although taking advantage of the range advantage of the pointed bullets, more than a dozen Qing troops were killed by name with machine guns, but the defenders of the Dagukou Fort did not collapse, but found cover and hid, and then when the cavalry company launched an attack, these guys came out with a burst of guns and wounded several soldiers, because the old round head bullets were large in caliber (mostly 11mm), and the lethality was extremely great, two of them could not survive, and the other two must have had to be amputated

Although Zhao Hu was fierce, after all, he brought few soldiers and couldn't bear too many casualties, so he could only grit his teeth and retreat, but he didn't expect that the Qing army was equipped with a large number of fast guns, although the accuracy was not good, but the firepower was very good, and as a result, two more people were injured in the process of retreating, one of them was only afraid that it would be difficult to protect, and Zhao Hu was so angry that he was angry.

"What should I do?" , Zhao Hu couldn't help but fall into a dilemma, retreat, he was unwilling, if he continued to attack, he would be able to lay down a few forts if he died, and if he wanted to take down all the Dagukou forts, it was impossible to do it with the existing strength of the cavalry company.

"When I hit the chief soldier's yamen before, I actually let the chief soldier run away, otherwise if I pushed him out and shouted, everything would be solved", Zhao Hu said to himself a little depressedly, but seeing that the young man seemed to be a little speechless, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and tried to squeeze out a little smile on his face, and asked Feng Yuxiang if he had anything to say.

Originally, with Feng Yuxiang's identity, no matter how smart he was, limited by his status, it was unlikely that he would know such a senior general as the general soldier, but Luo Rongguang, the general soldier of Tianjin, was a relatively coquettish person, and often rode his big white horse to swagger through the market, and it was about to become a scene in Dagukou, and it was difficult for Feng Yuxiang to think about it

"Mr. Luo didn't run away, he wasn't in the yamen in the first place." Hearing Feng Yuxiang's answer, Zhao Hu couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, grabbed the young man's arm and asked, "Then do you know where he is?" ”

"General Luo is in the South Fort most of the time, so you pounced." , Feng Yuxiang's answer made Zhao Hu can't help but pat his thigh a few times in a row, and shouted, "I said, with our speed, how can we not even see a shadow, and think he has a Scud"

But soon Zhao Hu frowned again, this south fort is not a fort, but a general name for all the forts on the south bank, and the one attacked by the cavalry company just now is also one of them, unless he can figure out the exact location of Luo Rongguang, he still can't take the Dagukou fort.

"If it weren't for the prisoner policy, Lao Tzu would have forced those prisoners up with a machine gun, and no matter how many batteries there are, he would not be afraid", Zhao Hu's words made Feng Yuxiang secretly happy and at the same time scared into a cold sweat, what if this military man really did this in a hurry? So, he could only help him think of a way with a bitter face

"Isn't it possible to send fewer people to the front? Piling up too many people will increase casualties," although Feng Yuxiang had not yet received a systematic military education, after seriously recalling the whole process of the previous battle, he still thought of some ideas for improvement with his extraordinary war instincts

Zhao Hu further improved it based on his rich military experience, and his thoughts gradually became clear, "A small number of troops are used as bait, and the main firepower is arranged in the back, so that the casualties will not be too large." If the enemy counterattacks, we have a very high hit rate from a distance of 200 meters with rifle and machine guns, and even if the main force is placed a little farther away from the back, we can still beat the enemy to the ground; And if the enemy keeps being a shrunken turtle, a knife squad can defeat them with just throwing a grenade. And since it is mainly used as a decoy, the speed of the charge is not important, then it is completely possible to crawl forward to reduce casualties"

Zhao Hu finally made a decision to attack the previous fort that had deflated him again, "I hope to be able to capture the prisoners, as long as we know the location of the Qing army's general soldiers, then there is hope for this battle"

After fighting again, Zhao Hu found that the process was even smoother than he expected, the enemy's counterattack was quickly silenced after the main force of the cavalry company was accurately named, and then he saw three consecutive rows of grenades flying over, and after a loud noise, the battery finally stopped resisting completely
