Chapter 665: Night Attack

Chief of Staff Wang Lin immediately saw what Wang Hu was thinking, and then analyzed thoughtfully: "It's not impossible for you to preemptively eat these more than 5,000 forbidden troops, commander?" ”

"Tell me your reasoning?" Wang Hu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Lin thought about it and analyzed: "Let's talk about the combat effectiveness of these forbidden armies first, although they were all formed by Yuan Shikai, and many people were transferred from the Beiyang Army to serve as officers, and the equipment was also the best among all the new armies in the imperial court. But the Forbidden Army had a fatal flaw, that is, it was established for too short a time and under-trained. ”

"On the battlefield, once something happens to the more than 5,000 forbidden troops and they fall into chaos, the 5,000 forbidden troops will completely collapse."

"Let's talk about their formation, because there are more than 5,000 people with one horse per man, and in order to ensure the speed of the march, their heavy machine guns, artillery, ammunition ...... They are all carried by war horses and walk at the end of the whole team. ”

"As long as we divide their infantry from the heavy weapons behind them at the very beginning of the battle. No matter how well-trained the thousands of forbidden troops who are armed only with rifles and light machine guns, they cannot withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of dozens of our mortars. ”

"That's it! Eat the 5,000 forbidden troops first, and give the court a dismount. Let them know how good we are. Wang Hu, who was already very excited, had completely relieved his mind at this time and decisively decided.

"Let the military headquarters guard regiment, the first division and three regiments, plus all the mortars we brought, prepare a big pocket for the more than 5,000 forbidden troops, and eat them all in one bite."

"Also, report our plan of action to the commander on the radio so that the commander knows."

The terrain around Tongliao is very flat, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it in four words. Therefore, for a while, Wang Hu failed to find a terrain that could ambush the forbidden army.

"Commander, the two regiments have all been assembled, just waiting for the departure order!" Wang Lin strode into the military headquarters and said.

Seeing that Wang Hu frowned and didn't speak, and his eyes kept staring at the map to search for something, Wang Lin immediately asked, "Commander, haven't you found a suitable terrain yet?" ”

Seeing that Wang Hu shook his head and didn't speak, Wang Lin's brows furrowed, staring at the map like Wang Hu.

At this time, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded at the entrance of the military department. Before Wang Hu could raise his head, the communications staff officer who had just been appointed walked in and reported: "The army commander, the chief of staff, the commander is in a hurry. ”

Wang Hu took the telegram and read it, the content was not much, only less than 100 words. To read the entire telegram, ten seconds is enough.

But in just ten seconds, the expression on Wang Hu's face has changed dramatically, from the solemn expression at the beginning to the current happiness.

After slamming his clenched fist on the map in front of him with excitement, he said very happily: "The commander is worthy of being a commander, and he can help us solve the problem hundreds of miles away." Chief of Staff, the local commander who ambushed the forbidden army of the imperial court has already been selected for us, far away and close at hand. ”

Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "Tongliao City!" I understand, the commander asked us to eat the five thousand forbidden troops sent by the imperial court in Tongliao City. ”

Wang Hu nodded and affirmed: "Yes, it is Tongliao City." There was still an hour before it was dark. After the arrival of the forbidden army, it is certainly impossible to launch an offensive today. After dark, the Forbidden Army must have been stationed outside the city. If we take advantage of the cover of night, we suddenly launch an attack on the garrison of the imperial forbidden army. What do you think will happen to the Forbidden Army stationed outside the city? ”

"Bomb the camp!" Wang Lin replied subconsciously.

"It must have been chaos at first, plus the cover of the night, the Praetorian Army was not well trained, as long as our attack was fierce enough. Chaos will surely turn into a bombed camp. In this case, we only need to surround their barracks and wait until dawn to reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”

Wang Hu handed the telegram to Wang Lin and said, "The commander said in the telegram that this is the method!" ”

When the horse finally saw the city wall of Tongliao City, the sky had slowly darkened unconsciously.

Glancing at his subordinates behind him who were tired from hurrying, the commander of the first town of the forbidden army only hesitated for a few seconds before issuing the order to camp on the spot and wait for follow-up reinforcements.

One of the reasons why they did not attack immediately was because the troops were too tired and the night was not suitable for fighting. Another important reason is that the commander specially explained before setting off that the main force to attack Tongliao was the Beiyang Army and the Mongolian cavalry, and the role of the forbidden army was to supervise the war. No matter what the outcome is, he will bring back more than 5,000 forbidden troops.

The deep exhaustion caused almost everyone in the Forbidden Army to fall asleep early.

In the huge barracks station, there were only a few patrols and guard posts, and they still endured the drowsiness that kept coming up and kept themselves awake as much as possible.

However, as the night grew darker and the temperature of the night became colder and colder, many patrols and guards could not stand it. They all gathered around the fire to warm up and roast the fire. And roasting and roasting, these sleepy patrolmen slowly fell asleep.

Because the battlefield was at home, Wang Hu immediately changed the battle order and let all three regiments in Tongliao City participate in the battle.

Under the cover of night and the wind, the Liaodong Army, which was based on battalions, quickly surrounded the forbidden army camp. Rushed until a hundred meters away from the barracks, and the sentry figure could be clearly seen before stopping.

While the infantry was in place, the three regiments were equipped with 54 mortars and more than 30 mountain guns, all of which were erected.

As soon as the order to open fire was issued, a dull roaring explosion was heard from the artillery position.

The violent explosion immediately set up dozens of huge fireballs in the middle of the forbidden army camp.

Inside the tent, countless soldiers of the forbidden army who were dreaming were covered in artillery fire along with the tent before they had time to react.

"Enemy attack, everyone quickly prepare for battle, assemble immediately, and prepare for battle." When ordinary soldiers were overwhelmed by the attack and even fell into confusion, the officers from the Beiyang Army immediately showed themselves to be different.

After a brief moment of shock and confusion, the officers drew their weapons and prepared for battle, beckoning their men to begin assembling behind them.

Just when this chaos was about to change, dozens of mortar shells once again smashed into the barracks and exploded, setting off a bloody storm.

Faced with the cannonballs above his head that he didn't know when they might fall beside him, and hearing the screams that kept ringing in his ears, the newly calmed recruits became panicked again.

Stimulated by death, no matter how much the officers roared, the chaotic Forbidden Army was all over the barracks.
