Chapter 15: The Ten-Day War (4)

Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, Li Chun's troops retreated at first, and then the rout turned into a rout. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info heavy weapons, ammunition and other supplies hoarded on the front line were lost, and they retreated all the way. After running wildly for more than ten miles in succession, it was not until he entered the territory controlled by Jin Yunpeng's Sixth Division that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Yunpeng was a general of the Anhui system, and after seeing Li Chun's tragic situation, he was also shocked. "Brother Li, what are you doing?"

"How?" Li Chun was furious, grabbed Jin Yunpeng by the collar, and asked, "You are less than ten kilometers away from our 11th Division, just sit back and watch us be defeated?" ”

The guards immediately rushed up and pulled Li Chun away. Jin Yunpeng smiled bitterly: "Alas, Brother Li, don't be angry, haven't you already sent several mixed brigades up?" It's just that......... It's just that who knew you would be defeated so quickly? ”

"Fart!" Li Chun said angrily: "Our 11th Division suffered nearly half of the casualties, and only then did it retreat. ”

"The boxer on the other side is so powerful?"

"You can try it yourself."

"Come on, come on, Brother Li will take a sip of tea first, extinguish the fire, you tell me what it looks like in front. Are the boxers really so fierce? ”

Li Chun sat down, took a sip of the teacup, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said, "To say, the enemy's tactics are nothing special. It was artillery bombardment, then infantry occupation, and then they liked to use cavalry models to maneuver quickly and occupy ammunition hoarding points and communication arteries in the rear. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it," Li Chun glanced at Jin Yunpeng, "The tactics on the other side are no different from what we learned, but their soldiers are too strong. It is also a commanding height, and we all know that we want to occupy it, but we just can't beat it, and we can't occupy it if we fight it. But the enemy can fight and hold it. You say, how can this battle be fought? ”

Jin Yunpeng said politely: "Brother Li, you go down to rest first, don't worry, our Sixth Division is an old brand of Beiyang Army, not your kind of newly formed troops, we will definitely be able to kill the boxers without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Li Chun looked at Jin Yunpeng with the eyes of a fool for a long time, then nodded, and went down to rest. After a while, a guard came to report that Li Dashuai had retreated with his people.

Jin Yunpeng laughed when he heard the news, and said to the left and right: "Li Chun's courage is broken." Both left and right laughed.

Four hours later, Jin Yunpeng scolded in his own command, "The 11th Division is too bad, it actually let us face such a ferocious enemy!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a guard rushed in, picked him up and ran out.

"What are you doing here?" Jin Yunpeng was furious, "Don't you want to live?" ”

"Marshal, just now I found the enemy's infantry rushing over with small cannons nearby, you better retreat quickly."

"Nonsense, we still have more than 10,000 people in front, how come we were hit by the enemy near the Tobu area......"

A few "bang" shells, a dozen mortar shells had already drowned his original headquarters in a sea of fire. Jin Yunpeng got down and closed his mouth, and ran away after thinking all the way with the support of the guards.

Cao Degui received the news that the headquarters of the Sixth Division had been captured, and it was already several hours later. There were still many soldiers of the Beiyang Army who were making the last resistance, and the gunfire did not stop for a moment, he ignored the cold guns and cold bullets around him, and said to the herald: "Order all the troops to fight all the way to the east." Do not turn back without an order. ”

"Yes!" The herald looked at his general with adoring eyes.

"Uncle," Cao Bao saw that there was no one around, so he leaned up with a shy face and said in a low voice: "Let me also go out to lead the troops, give me a regiment commander, I promise to fight well!" ”

Cao Degui turned his head lazily and said directly: "Not allowed!" ”

Cao Bao was anxious and said: "This big victory is all from other people's families, and our Cao family has not lost any benefits, if it goes on like this, those who are officials will not have our Cao family's share!" ”

"Humph!" Cao Degui squinted at his nephew and sneered: "It's easy for you to see a big victory, and you want to go up and pick peaches?" ”

"Isn't this trying to share your worries?" Cao Bao said curtly: "You can't let all the credit go to outsiders." ”

"Fighting is a death story," Cao Degui said lightly: "In the past three days, two regiment commanders have been sent to military courts because they are afraid of war. You're like that, it's better to run errands in the command headquarters honestly. ”

"Why can't I?" Cao Bao said unconvinced: "I also finished the crash course, in terms of military quality, qualifications, and military merits, I should have been a regiment commander." ”

"Fished out of the ass!" Cao Degui said: "Do you think I don't know that you are only halfway through your crash course, and you haven't even got your graduation certificate?" ”

"Isn't that a war," Cao Bao distinguished: "If I become an official, my sister can also have a status in it, right?" ”

Cao Bao knew that Cao Degui had no heirs, and he loved his sister Cao Ying, who was now a secretary in Handan City, so he carried her out and said, "Otherwise, my sister is not going to be bullied." ”

"Report!" The guards suddenly came in and said loudly: "I encountered a mixed brigade of the enemy army in front, the front army is in a fierce battle, and Commander Li said that the enemy's firepower is very strong and needs reinforcements!" ”

As soon as Cao Degui heard this, he took a pen and made a gesture on the military map, and then carefully searched for it to see if he could pull some reinforcements out of the army. But it seems that they are too far away, or they are at war, and some of them are simply unable to get in touch.

He thought for a moment and said to the guards: "You go and tell Commander Li that there are no reinforcements." I took someone directly up, but he stared at the enemy for me, and if I let the enemy escape, Lao Tzu sent him directly to the military court! ”

"Order all the combat staff officers, as well as the guard company, the health company, and the baggage company, to take their weapons together and follow me!"

"Shall we go up too?" Cao Bao swallowed his saliva, when he besieged Langfang Railway Station last year, he was watching from behind, and he would never forget that kind of bloody scene for the rest of his life. The little idea of wanting to make a career that had just arisen had long been thrown abroad in Java.

He wants to go down and be the commander of the regiment with the troops, but he is ready to command the army to "give it to me", but he doesn't want to lead the troops to charge himself.

Cao Degui turned his head, waited for a glance at him, laughed cruelly, and added: "Order the gendarmes, if there is any fear, shoot on the spot!" ”

Looking at Cao Degui's hideous expression, Cao Bao couldn't help but shudder. Mom, uncle's smile is too crazy. (To be continued.) )
