Chapter 14 Tiger General

Feng Guozhang's order is undoubtedly very backbone and correct. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this day and age, and even in the Second World War, the final victory was won by the infantry. In the process of occupying positions, white-knuckle combat is an important part of it.

The Beiyang Army has always been "victorious with courage", and they have undergone rigorous training in white-knuckle warfare. Upon hearing the sound of the bugle, the soldiers did not hesitate to draw their bayonets and then settled under the muzzle of their guns.

Cao Degui, who was commanding near the front line, also discovered the changes in his opponent at the first time, and he had already made the Beiyang Army's orders clear, and it didn't take him a few seconds to know what the opponent's idea was. As the second person of the Cao family and one of the five tiger generals of the Black Dragon Society, Cao Degui is not afraid of going head-to-head with his opponent.

A white-knuckle battle is a white-knuckle battle, will you still be afraid of you?

In the same way, Cao Degui ordered: "Let the soldiers all load their bayonets and prepare grenades!" ”

After a while, the military formation of the Beiyang Army on the opposite side remembered the poignant charge. Hundreds of infantrymen, armed with bayonet rifles, rushed in the direction of the 79th Infantry Regiment with a brave attitude. These soldiers of the Beiyang Army were charging while there were people shooting and covering, and all the movements were as smooth as luckily flowing water.

"Hmph," Cao Degui secretly praised in his heart, the Beiyang Army is still very capable of fighting. If he had encountered such a strong soldier two years ago, he would have had to flee.

"Unfortunately, times have changed."

He looked around, and the soldiers under his command were ready to fight.

"Now we will only be stronger than you!"

The Beiyang Army had already rushed to a distance of two hundred meters, and these soldiers were forced to rush over under the rain of bullets. From time to time, someone was knocked to the ground by bullets, but the comrades-in-arms around him did not hesitate to pass the wounded and move forward quickly.

"Still grenades!"

The 79th Infantry Regiment, which was the main force, used only better grenades than the militia units, and in greater numbers. The explosion sounded among the soldiers of the Beiyang Army, and the soldiers were blown to the ground one by one, and the dense crowd became much more relaxed.

Then, the sound of the charge also sounded on the position of the Black Dragon Society, and Cao Degui drew the pistol and broadsword at his waist. Rushed out first.

"Attack!"

The gray and earthy yellow streams collided, and the two sides fighting each other even spoke similar accents. Most of the Beiyang sergeants came from good families in Hebei and Shandong. Most of the soldiers of the 79th Infantry Regiment came from Handan, Langfang and other places, and perhaps one family served in the two units.

But for the sake of each other's positions, both sides used all means to kill each other. Bullet. Bayonets, fists, teeth, and white-knuckle combat are the most brutal and bloody, requiring a soldier's willpower, often deciding victory and defeat in a few rounds. This time, it's no exception.

Cao Degui relied on his superb martial arts, was invulnerable to hard qigong, and killed more than ten people with pistols and broadswords one after another. Blood stained his whole body and obscured his eyes. At the moment of rest, he looked left and right, and the soldiers on both sides had been mixed together, and soldiers were falling every moment. He rose up bravely and pierced the thin front of the Beiyang Army, but there were still many soldiers of the Beiyang Army rushing towards him with rifles and shouting.

And in the rear of the battle, the soldiers of the Beiyang Army in the second wave had already reorganized their formation and rushed towards this side with bayonets. It seems that the enemy wants to take advantage of the superiority of the outnumbers to defeat them in one fell swoop. At this moment, the heavy machine guns arranged on the two high ground began to roar.

With a maximum rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute, Maxim can shoot a chain of 100 rounds in ten seconds. Even if it was hard, even if the maneuver remained the same, the two heavy machine guns that Cao Degui insisted on bringing finally played the role of a battlefield harvester at a critical moment, and the spitting tongue of fire scattered the follow-up troops of the Beiyang Army in an instant, and could no longer maintain the battle line.

The soldiers of the Beiyang Army, who were fighting hard in front, were affected by this and could no longer bear it, so they broke away from their belligerent opponents one after another, looking at the rear and retreating. The soldiers of the 79th Infantry Regiment were also exhausted, and organized a few rounds of platoons of guns in the back, so they did not continue the pursuit.

Cao Degui glanced at the battlefield roughly, and his heart tingled slightly. In less than ten minutes just now, nearly one-third of our 600 front-line combat infantry were killed or wounded. Although the morale of the enemy had improved slightly after the enemy was repulsed, he could no longer fight such a battle.

Many of the junior officers of the 79th Infantry Regiment were from their Cao family, and in the brief confrontation just now, several of their sons and nephews were killed on the spot. The scale of this battle is not comparable to that of Langfang and Beijing, but the bloodiness and intensity are not small at all.

If Cao Degui was slightly stinging in his heart, Feng Guozhang was already bleeding in his heart. He brought out a total of 3,000 men, and in the previous attack on Anping Town, he suffered more than 200 casualties, which is acceptable. Then in the field, still with more and less fighting, the first wave of combat infantry only withdrew less than half. The second wave of combat infantry was scattered by the heavy machine guns placed on both sides of the battlefield by the enemy before they could rush in front of the enemy.

"Hmph, is this what it's called crossfire?" Feng Guozhang saw at a glance the tactics used by the other party. Having studied the Battle of Langfang in depth, he naturally knew the power of the crossfire of the heavy machine gun. It's just that he always thought that the Makqin heavy machine gun was inconvenient to move and was not suitable for encounters, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't know that he suffered a big loss in this today.

"Sir," the adjutant suggested, "there are not many enemy troops stationed on those two heights, and as long as the field artillery is dragged over, those two can be captured!" ”

"Well," Feng Guozhang was greatly moved, he also saw that the enemy did not have many troops, as long as his side charged a few more times, and then dragged the field artillery up to shoot at close range, then the enemy would only collapse. But is that really good?

The system of the Beiyang Army is and will be, and the army in hand is the source of their strength. Even if the enemy army is defeated here, and all the Divine Stones are destroyed, what then? Judging from the exchange just now, the little force he brought out is estimated to be exhausted, so what good is it for himself?

Among the many generals under Yuan Shikai, he Feng Guozhang is very capable of fighting, but Duan Qirui, Duan Zhigui, Li Jinglin and others are not vegetarians. If the strength in your hands is greatly reduced, what will happen next? Thinking of this, Feng Guozhang's fighting spirit disappeared.

"Hey, Black Dragon." Feng Guozhang fought for a while in his heart, but the desire to preserve his strength still prevailed. If the enemy's combat effectiveness is low, it is fine, even if he is desperate to lose half of the casualties, he is willing to use such casualties to completely annihilate the opponent. However, the current situation is that if the fight continues, the own side may collapse first.

"Do you know who that is? Just now, I was in a no-man's land in our army's formation! Feng Guozhang was unwilling in his heart, and pointed to the enemy in the distance and asked.

"........." looked at each other left and right, and no one answered.

"Forget it, forget it," Feng Guozhang laughed at himself: "Cao Laosan, if you take someone to negotiate with the other party, just say that what happened just now was a misunderstanding." Right now......... Let us take with us the prisoners we have captured. (To be continued.) )
