Chapter 93: Suppression (1)

The expansion of the Khalkha Left Wing Banner Civil Rebellion soon spread to the imperial court, and after the imperial court learned the news, it immediately instructed Yuan Shikai to suppress the popular uprising.

Regarding the popular rebellion of the Khalkha Left Wing Banner, Yuan Shikai really didn't know which army to send to suppress it at the beginning, after all, he Yuan Shikai himself is not a living map, where does he know where this Khalkha Left Wing Flag is.

As a last resort, Yuan Shikai had no choice but to go and look through the map in person, and after reading the map, Yuan Shikai immediately determined who would be responsible for the suppression of the popular uprising.

The first to bear the brunt is Wang Bin's Fifth Town and the patrol battalion under Zeng Qi, as for the patrol camp of Zeng Qi, Yuan Shikai was directly filtered out, and who would pay attention to a group of characters who couldn't support the wall with mud, so Yuan Shikai soon decided to let Wang Bin's Fifth Town be in charge of this matter.

Then a telegram from the capital was sent to Jinzhou City.

And Wang Bin's first reaction after seeing the telegram was: Sure enough, Yuan Shikai handed over the matter of suppressing the civil rebellion to himself, and the telegram also said that he would solve the civil rebellion at any cost.

After getting the telegram, Wang Bin was starting to figure out who to send to suppress this popular uprising, and the names of Ma Zikai, Gu Chen, Lin Hao, Xu Dajun, Deng Jichun and others flashed in Wang Bin's mind one by one, but he found that they were not suitable candidates, and most of them had more important matters on hand.

It seems that this time you can only choose from some of the officers below, Wang Bin thought silently in his heart.

Then Wang Bin began to think about which officers could lead the team in his mind, and after a while, several suitable candidates flashed in Wang Bin's mind.

Chen Dongsheng, Liu Wangzhen and Sun Chuanfang.

These three people are all outstanding among the officers below, and there will basically be no major problems for the three of them to be in charge of this matter.

After deciding on the officers, Wang Bin was then considering how many troops to send to the Khalkha Left Wing Banner.

There are many soldiers in the entire Fifth Town who have actual combat experience, but sending those soldiers is a problem.

So Wang Bin decided to have a small meeting to discuss, and after half a day, Chen Dongsheng, Liu Wangzhen, Sun Chuanfang and others gathered together in Wang Bin's office.

Looking at the three people below, Wang Bin first spoke: "You all know the order from above now, you want to go to the Khalkha Left Wing Banner to suppress the popular rebellion, the time above is very urgent, and the official also set your list in a hurry, and the rest is the problem of the army, this officer wants to ask you what you think about the army?" ”

All in all, it is to ask the three of them how many people and which troops they want to lead to suppress the Khalkha Left Wing Banner Rebellion.

After finishing speaking, Wang Bin added: "This time we are going to show the princes of the imperial court the suppression of the civil rebellion, and it is also the first time that my fifth town shows its ability to the imperial court, so this official hopes that you will choose carefully and not fail." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't lose face in the fifth town if I go here."

Sun Chuanfang and others swore and said.

After Sun Chuanfang and others assured, the question of soldiers was also raised, and it was best to command the army that he had already commanded, so that there would be no strangeness when commanding, and he was still somewhat familiar with the soldiers he had commanded.

In this regard, the selection of this soldier also had a decision: the previous bandit suppression detachment, the current infantry battalion (the bandit suppression detachment was split into two infantry battalions after the completion of the bandits), and the two battalions that trained infantry and artillery coordination at that time, with a total of 2,000 troops, were responsible for the suppression of the Khalkha Left Wing Banner Rebellion.

After it was confirmed, Wang Bin immediately asked Chen Dongsheng and the others to go back to assemble the troops and prepare to leave.

In the afternoon of the same day, the soldiers who went to suppress the popular uprising had been assembled, and under the leadership of Sun Chuanfang, they began to advance towards the Khalkha Left Wing Banner.

A day later, on the official road, which was still some distance away from the Khalkha Left Wing Banner, groups of soldiers kept walking by, and it was the soldiers of the Fifth Town, who was responsible for suppressing the civil uprising, and Sun Chuanfang, Chen Dongsheng, and Liu Wangzhen were discussing something on the side of the official road.

"Brother Chuanfang, now that we are a little closer to the Khalkha Left Wing Banner, I am afraid that the remaining road should be a little vigilant."

Chen Dongsheng said to Sun Chuanfang.

Before leaving, Wang Bin specially instructed that all actions this time should be led by Sun Chuanfang, do not act recklessly, and do not look down on those who participated in the civil uprising, otherwise once you underestimate this person, you will have to look down on my fifth town a lot.

Wang Bin's words gave Chen Dongsheng and others a great reminder, so up to now, Chen Dongsheng and others have not slacked off.

Sun Chuanfang also agreed with Chen Dongsheng's words

"Yes, now we are getting closer and closer to the Khalkha Left Wing Banner, and for the sake of insurance, the area of the guard post will be expanded a little more."

Since entering the grassland, the scenery along the official road has been constantly changing, although it is only a little more than a day away, but unlike later generations, the grassland is degrading at an average rate of 1.9% per year, and after the era before Wang Bin, it is difficult to see a large area of grassland.

But now it's different, there is no excessive reclamation and there is no need to worry about excessive desertification of the pastures, and there is endless green everywhere along the road.

But who knows if there will be a hidden killing motive behind this green? Therefore, for Sun Chuanfang, it is still necessary to expand the scope of vigilance.

After Chen Dongsheng finished speaking, Liu Wangzhen on the side also spoke immediately

"The scope of this alert should not only be expanded, but more importantly, how to fight this after it reaches the Khalkha Left Wing Banner?"

Liu Wangchen's words put forward the most crucial point to the point, and Liu Wangzhen believed that fighting on the grassland was completely different from fighting in western Liaoning.

When fighting in western Liaoning, they are often bandits, and they are all fighting between the mountains and the dense forest, for this kind of fighting method, Liu Wangzhen summed it up as a dense forest battle, and this is a completely different method of fighting in the grassland and fighting in the dense forest, one is fighting in the extremely flat plain, and the other is fighting in the covered dense forest.

Therefore, in Liu Wangzhen's view, it is necessary to have a certain amount of preparation for the upcoming grassland operation, and the tactics used cannot be blindly like the previous suppression of bandits.

As soon as Liu Wangchen's words were finished, Sun Chuanfang and Chen Dongsheng looked at Liu Wangzhen with some surprise, they really didn't expect Liu Wangzhen to notice the most important point they had overlooked.

This difference in combat methods, such a most obvious thing, has been ignored before, so they all asked Liu Wangling about the method of fighting on the grassland.

Liu Wangzhen himself actually doesn't know how to fight on the grassland, he is just more interested in tactics, for the question of Sun Chuanfang and Chen Dongsheng, Liu Wangzhen can only say that how to fight on the grassland can only be slowly explored in this battle.
