Chapter 672: Chase the North
The intensity of the pursuit, which was premised on controlling casualties, naturally weakened, but this did not mean that the Fuso troops had a chance to breathe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor the Fuso soldiers who are on the run, their journey to hell has just begun.
The history of the Fuso War is very secretive about this part of the record, and it was only during the occupation of the Republic that a written record of scales and claws flowed out, so that later researchers can understand the desperate situation faced by the Fuso soldiers at that time.
Dozens of Fuso soldiers, supporting each other, rushed along the path, looking around vigilantly as they ran. Their ranks were scattered, and the soldiers were left alone and bewildered. The pride and arrogance of the past were now replaced by panic, and the slightest movement could scare them away.
It is not the victory or defeat of a battle, but the courage to support the Fuso soldiers, who have been defeated, and these strong Asian soldiers have now become frightened birds and have lost the courage to support themselves. In the distance, smoke rises from the cooking stove, and the aroma of food wafts towards it. The Fuso soldiers subconsciously strangled their belts a few times, trying to stifle the hunger.
The Fuso soldiers, who had no dry food rations on them, were already hungry after the intense battle, but they could not find any food to feed their stomachs. Several veterans glanced at each other, reached a tacit understanding without a word, and marched towards the place where the smoke was rising.
On the battlefield, those who dare to light a fire to cook are naturally also soldiers. The five-color military flag and the Zhao character flag were all leaning to one side, and the rifles were also put together. Most of them were wounded in the rearguard, but they were not to the point where they needed treatment in the rear. Now that the battle is easy, there is no need for lightly wounded people to go into battle. They are only responsible for cleaning up the battlefield in the rear, and they are also happy to be a little lazy and enjoy the fun of being busy.
Due to negligence, even the guard sentry was not put down. The hungry Fuso soldiers rushed in, and it was too late for these soldiers to grab their guns.
The Fusang soldiers didn't expect that they encountered a Lu army, and they were stunned for a moment, and the Fusang soldiers who reacted first raised their guns and shouted in Fusang language, "Don't move!" ”
"it!" Lu Jun's reaction was different from what the Fusang Army imagined, and he was not shocked by the gun, but on the contrary, he picked up the Guanshan knife he carried with him and pounced on them. Because of the excitement brought by the victory, these outlaws from Guanzhong have regained their bloodthirsty and aggressive nature. Whether it's guns or other weapons, they can't be scared.
The blade is sharp and the bayonet is sonorous. The Fusang soldiers, who hold long soldiers in their hands, actually have an advantage in the fighting link. Judging from the data on paper, both in terms of weapons and numbers, there are absolute Fuso soldiers, and they should win this encounter without any suspense. However, the development of facts is contrary to data deduction.
The Shaanxi army's own brave and lifeless characteristics, combined with the construction of the Lu army's sense of honor, the two have been combined into one to create a team that can be called a freak. What if you have injuries on your body, even if you don't have a gun in your hand, even if there are more people on the other side than you? So many Orientals have been defeated, afraid of this next group of enemies? Even if we die, our brothers will avenge us!
Lu Jun, who reported this belief, burst out with superhuman fighting spirit. A knife into the lower abdomen did not retreat, only grasping the rifle and stabbing the knife into the opponent's chest at the same time. He was knocked to the ground, but he still held the knife and slashed at the leg dangling in front of him. The military boots of the two armies are different, and there will be no mistake. Even one person pulled out his hand and kept the bullet and pounced on several enemies.
The soldiers of the Lu army, who were already ready to sacrifice, were surprised to find that the Fusang people actually began to flee. This was not a lure for the enemy, but a real rout, and some of the soldiers even abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions, losing sight of each other. There were even Fusang soldiers who took off their uniforms and ran into the mountains and forests, perhaps trying to find an opportunity to survive as Chinese.
The side that survived the dead couldn't believe that it was they who had won, looked at each other, and then picked up the knife and shouted and killed. Soon, a company that rushed to hear the explosion completely eliminated the Fuso force. The company commander's face sank like water, and he pointed to his nose and said:
"You guys can do it, light the fire and cook without being vigilant, and when you go back, see how the Ruiyang people clean you up! Beat away these Orientals, and you think you're amazing? We have captured more than 30 prisoners in the cooking class, and we are so strong that we don't know where to go, you guys, shame on your superiors! ”
The sporadic Fuso forces that failed to flee with the large army had lost their ability and courage to fight at this time. Most of them had no ammunition, some did not even have weapons, and most importantly, they lost their fighting spirit.
The strong soldiers who once thought they were invincible in the world were torn apart, and the spirit, which was more important than weapons, was completely destroyed in such a battle. Even if they encounter weaker troops than themselves, they have no ability to eat each other, as long as the Lu army shoots a few rows of guns, these Oriental soldiers will not be able to attack, and when they enter the white-knuckle battle, they will quickly collapse, and even the entire squad will surrender.
"Why are the Fuso soldiers so bad? On the battlefield, they are very powerful, how can they become so bad now? Yang Yuzhu heard the battle reports one by one, and was a little suspicious of his ears. A large part of these feats were made by the brothers of the Shaanxi army, and she believed that her brothers would not lie. But why, with the same army, the gap between the front and back is so big?
Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "It's nothing, the Fusang soldiers are really powerful, in a sense, it is not too much to say that they are the first-class troops today." But now what we encounter is not an army, just remnants. They lost the command of their commanders, lost the support of their comrades, and were isolated. In this case, the troops who dare to fight to the death are only a minority after all. Most of the soldiers with this kind of courage died in the Great War of the Palace, and the rest are ordinary people. You can't ask so much of ordinary soldiers, their performance, it's normal. ”
Jiang Fengzhi said excitedly: "Then if that's the case, let's continue to fight and slaughter all the Fusang people." ”
"It's all slaughtered, and it's not your turn to use the knife. The Fuso people will not end well this time, and the part that is wrapped around is already a dish on the plate. The ones who escaped were no better. Chief of Staff Ryan Stein is not a vegetarian, and the Fifth Division is the essence of our Lu army. ”
"Enemy attack!" A terrible scream was only half shouted before the sound stopped abruptly. The sound of war drums sounded in the forest, and the snare drums seemed to knock on the hearts of the Fusang soldiers, and the hearts of the people were broken. The melodious sound of military trumpets and bagpipes was accompanied by a dense raindrop of bullets, and the Fusang soldiers who served as guards were swept away by the rain of bullets.
The Fusang soldiers, who barely formed a formation, responded with a platoon of guns, but as a large number of Lu troops shouted and killed in the forest, and the snow bayonets formed a wall of knives, the resistance of the Fuso soldiers appeared weak. Bayonet fighting, white blades facing each other, for the current tired army plus the defeated army, it is really a bit reluctant. The troops that had just been assembled collapsed again, and in front of the bayonet array of the Lu army, they turned into a plate of scattered sand.
The Lu army began to pursue, and the regimental commander who led the team held a saber in his hand, charged forward, and cut down one Fusang soldier after another to the ground. The Lu army, who has accumulated strength in Qingdao, finally has a person to thank him.
When Sun Meiyao's cavalry was rampage through the rear of Fuso's army, Mitsuzo Kamio's headquarters, protected by an urgently mobilized infantry company, fled the battlefield as soon as possible. What the Fuso soldiers lost was not a simple field battle, but the entire Weifang Campaign. What can be done now is to gather the existing troops at hand, reorganize them, and prepare for the second phase of the counterattack operation.
When the tide of battle is doomed to turn around, preserving as much strength as possible is the commander's top priority. In this era, there was no radio station, and there was no telegraph house in the location, and communication depended on the signal corps. A large number of soldiers were sent out to contact the containment force, and until this time, the troops in Kamio's hands did not exceed 5,000 people. But not long after escaping from the battlefield, he was ambushed by the Lu army's fresh army, and he was bitten off a piece of flesh alive.
This is a defeat. The battle that I thought could be used as a gorgeous curtain call for my career has become a shame that cannot be washed away for life. Obviously, there were not too many troops encountered, but the battle situation did not develop as expected. The forward of the Lu army it encountered was actually only one regiment of troops and did not include special forces, but it was such a force that almost collapsed the thousands of Fusang troops that were finally contained.
However, a famous general is always a famous general, and Mitsuzo Kamio and his senior generals are not incompetent. In terms of the level of high-level command, the command level of Fuso is better than most of the commanders of the Lu army. Although the Lu army had the world's first-class combat quality, the commander's carelessness and greed for merit almost ruined the hard-won victory.
With the outstanding performance of several division commanders, the remnants of Fusang successfully fought a counter-encirclement, besieging the infantry regiment of the Lu army on a small high ground. The four armies gathered together, and they wanted to swallow this regiment in one bite.
In addition to the defeat, if you can eat a regiment of the Lu army, it will be very helpful to cheer people. Kamio also believes that he has the capital to win the other party. After all, although the Fuso army was defeated, its vitality was still there, and as the remnants of its own army were contained, there were more and more people and horses that could be controlled, and there was always the ability to eat a lone army.
The trapped Lu army was not as easy to deal with as expected, although these Lu soldiers were surrounded, but they were not confused or desperate because of this. The victory in the Battle of Weifang gave these Shandong soldiers unprecedented courage.
As a member of Shandong's ace troops, these soldiers are very proud, and subconsciously believe that they are better than all the troops. Even the second-line troops can defeat the Fuso people, how can they lose? With the support of this emotion, even if the situation of the battle turned against them, these soldiers still held the belief that they would be victorious, and used the existing terrain to maneuver with the Fuso soldiers.
The special forces of the Fuso Army are seriously insufficient, and most of the weapons such as artillery were lost in the previous rout, and they cannot occupy an absolute advantage in firepower. Seeing that these Lu troops relied on the terrain to defend stubbornly, they couldn't find a very good means to attack the fortifications, so they could only beat the snare drum, charge together in several ways, and directly pressed up with the absolute advantage of numbers.
Bayonets collided violently, and desperate fights were everywhere. Like the sound of gunshots from popping beans, echoing on the high ground, the shooting speed and accuracy of the trapped Lu army were not inferior to the elites of the Taixi countries. From counter-shooting to fighting each other to keeping bullets, all the way to white-knuckle battles, the performance of the Lu army is all worthy of appreciation.
Siege and breakthrough, annihilation and resistance, the expected crushing has become a stalemate. Although the ranks of the Lu army were consumed little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, the Fusang soldiers also paid equal casualties.
Several shells came from the rear and exploded above the heads of the Fuso soldiers. Immediately, a team carrying a five-color flag rushed here. The appearance of this unit is not neat, and at a glance it is clear that it is not the same formation as the trapped troops. However, its combat was extremely brave, and it was inseparable from the Fusang army, and it was not easy to deal with.
The dense gunfire, like a signal, attracted the nearby troops in this direction. A group of more than 100 Fuso soldiers ran over in embarrassment, and they were dragged to the front line to fight before they even had time to report their names. But before they could stand firmly, a group of Chinese soldiers in disheveled clothes rushed over with rifles, and said as they rushed: "I have caught up, I can't miss this opportunity!" ”
Hire-yong, who was hired by Chinese businessmen to replace the students to their deaths, came from the front line in Weifang, and came at the right time. The combat effectiveness of these units is generally low, and in peacetime, they pose no threat to the Fuso. But now, the Fuso soldiers are at the end of their power, and each additional enemy may change the battlefield. These hired braves who demanded money and did not want their lives still caused great pressure on the Fuso people.
The security corps, the fire brigade, and the volunteers armed with weapons issued by the village armed forces. All kinds of local armed forces, before at most, went around in the mountains, and fought with the grain conscription teams of Fuso. Taking advantage of the victory on the front line, they all rushed out of their hiding places and rushed to the battlefield.
The combat effectiveness of the miscellaneous army cannot be compared with that of the Fusang soldiers, and the casualties of the Chinese people are far greater than those of the Fuso soldiers. However, in terms of fighting enthusiasm, these moths and fire-throwing weapons were far superior to those of the Oriental soldiers. Even though he watched the people around him fall one by one, the people who did not die still worked hard to load, raise their guns, and shoot until they were shot and died.
In all directions, the number of Lu troops who rushed to help gradually increased, and the Fusang soldiers who came to gather from the battlefield met with the local troops of the Lu army on the road. The battlefield was divided into countless small pieces, and the Lu army had the advantage in a certain battlefield, but in the outer circle, it was the Fusang people who took the initiative, but in the outer layer, it was the Lu army that controlled the situation.
This situation continued for more than half an hour. A dense drum beat, accompanied by the sound of neat steps, represents the real strong soldier finally appearing. Although in terms of attire, it is the same as the Lu army encountered before, it is a blue military uniform, a leather armed belt, and military boots. But the moment this army fought in the mountains and forests, the situation on the entire battlefield was completely reversed.
"I'm Li Zongyun, Li Zongyun who can't be killed! Fifth Division, charge with me! Get our robes out! ”
With such a slogan, the blue iron flow, like a flood, easily broke through the black berm. The battlefield, which was originally in the middle of fighting, was washed by this blue ocean current and returned to calm. The vast land, broken guns and broken knives, scattered mountains and wilderness, only scattered fugitives and sharp pursuers remained.
The final counterattack fails, the invader becomes the prey, and the Guardian becomes the hunter and begins his own hunting journey. (To be continued.) )
