Chapter 642: The Blade (Part II)
On the field, the chase between the two cavalry teams continued, and on the ground, countless dead bodies lay horizontally and vertically. There were men and women in the www.biquge.info, and the five-color flag and the Fuso army flag were thrown on the ground, trampled by the horse's hooves. Some of the corpses were tightly entangled in one place, desperately trying to kill each other until they all died.
Although the battle is not over, the winner has already been decided. An entire wing of Fusang cavalry was surrounded by the superior forces composed of a cavalry brigade and the Sun clan. There are no fancy tactics, just simple and direct charge, charge, charge. The first head-on collision between the heroes of Shandong and the elite of the Fusang cavalry was carried out in this simple battle with no tricks at all.
This kind of hard-bridge and hard-horse style of play makes up for the shortcomings in command and dispatch on this small battlefield. There is no room for any strategy or tactic, and although the command ability of the Fusang officers is stronger than that of Sun Meiyao, it will not help to save the situation. The only way to solve the problem is to kill all these people, and there is no other way to go.
Between this area of engagement and the Fuso Cavalry Brigade was the Cavalry Infantry Regiment and the Brigade Artillery Battalion, which firmly blocked the passage connecting the combat area with the enemy, preventing the encircled wing from receiving any support. Fuso's cavalry had already organized three charges, and before the position, the corpses were piled up, but the position was still immovable.
In order to save Paoze, the Fusang cavalry naturally fought to the death. When faced with a bayonet formation, the first platoon of cavalry could sacrifice their lives and crash directly into the bayonets. Relying on horsepower, he killed the infantry in the first row, and he was also pierced in the belly with a bayonet on the spot, as long as the people behind him could kill this gap, he had no hesitation in sacrificing his own life.
The Lu infantry gritted their teeth and raised their bayonets to fill one gap after another, and when the cavalry broke up a phalanx, they found that a new phalanx was waiting for them. Part of the Fusang cavalry has been changed to infantry and gradually advanced, but in the face of the Lu army's desperate sniping, whether it is rushing or advancing layer by layer, it will eventually evolve into simple attrition.
"Is this a bunch of crazy people? What good is such a loss for them? "Ota had already seen through the binoculars that there were women on the infantry positions. It is conceivable how heavy the losses of the infantry on the opposite side were, and it took women to fill the defensive line in order to maintain the whole system. But this is like this, this infantry is like a wedge, nailed to the path, and let himself watch the subordinates of a wing being bitten by death, devouring a little bit, but they can't rush through.
"Kill!" With a roar of rage, a human head rose into the sky, Sun Meiyao's knife slashed through the neck of the enemy horseman, and on the other side, her own soldiers were cut off the horse by Fusang's cavalry. This Fusang cavalryman's riding skills were very good, and he slashed at Sun Meiyao's flank with one sword. Without waiting for Sun Meiyao to parry, a saber flew out and plunged straight into the face of the Fusang cavalryman, and the cavalry screamed and fell off his horse.
Sun Meiyao looked at the knife, but saw that it was Sun Feibao who threw out his weapon to relieve the siege for himself, but at the same time, he was also targeted by three Fusang cavalrymen. She shouted, "Don't be afraid, little leopard, sister is here!" ”
Just like when she was a child, Sun Meiyao urged her horse to rush up, raised her sword and took the three Fusang cavalry, and then more than a dozen Sun cavalry surrounded her. On this battlefield, there were more people with the surname Sun than Fusang, and with the power to fight more and less, they belonged to the Chinese cavalry.
Sun Meiyao looked at Sun Feibao with concern, "Little leopard, are you hurt?" ”
"Sister...... I...... I'm fine. "The entire ambush plan was formulated, and Sun Feibao, who successfully cut the connection between the Fusang cavalry and forced a cavalry wing to death. His face flushed, and he stammered, Sun Meiyao shoved her saber into his hand, "Take it." Don't just throw the guy in the future, you just got married, if you let people hack to death, will you let Hei Ni stay widowed again? Sister can take care of herself, don't be afraid. ”
Seeing her pick up a saber and rush to the front line again, Sun Feibao only felt that his eyes were sour, and he shouted fiercely: "Brothers who have fought in Citigroup, they are not even afraid of foreign devils, and they can still let a group of Oriental people scare us?" Hack them to death! ”
At his call, a group of cavalrymen who had served as mercenaries in the Yankees were organized, and the troops lined up in a wall assault tactic and rushed towards the place where Fuso's flag was. The military song is loud and the morale is like a rainbow. I've even seen the battle of the Yankees, so how can I be afraid of the Fusos? Although the Fusang soldiers also had courage, they collided with this elite Lu army, and they still fell off their horses one after another, allowing this cavalry to gallop all the way, and their clothes and armor were flat.
The fierce battle was a huge test of physical strength, and the problem with Fuso's cavalry wing was that it did not adjust the rest time. The attacks of the Sun family's cavalry came in waves. When a man dies, a woman comes up with a knife, and the concept of death seems to have disappeared from their minds, replaced by two words: revenge.
At first, some people thought of catching these female soldiers, violating them, to break the morale of the Lu army, and then sending them to the military discipline camp to serve the Fusang soldiers. Unexpectedly, these women are as fierce as men, and they are not afraid of death. The life-for-life style of play is used without blinking. At first, they were treated as playthings, but they became ghosts under the knife. Even if they catch them, they will pull their hands and leave bullets on their bodies, and they will die together. In the end, it can only be done with a dead hand.
This style of fighting with injuries for injuries, coupled with continuous attacks, the collapse of the cavalry wing was inevitable, and there were less than ten men left around Aomori. Takeda, who has always been known as a mediocre man, has become the only bright spot of the Fuso cavalry on the battlefield. He and his more than 100 people, every time they attacked, they could greatly curb the offensive of the Lu army and win back a city for the Fusang cavalry.
"It's still Takeda-kun who is more trustworthy, I'm not as good as you after all." Aomori muttered to himself, his left hand tightly resting on the necklace. In the pendant under the necklace, there is a shrunken photo of a family of three. But...... Now I'm left alone.
"E-ko, Saburota, I'm going to see you soon. If someone bullies you, don't be afraid, I'll come to keep you safe. ”
The people turned on their backs, and the friendly troops in front of them were already like waves splitting apart, and they were cut off by the rushing Lu army. His arm was numb, and he didn't feel it when he was bleeding. If you face an enemy in such a state, you will be cut down in just one round, right? But what does it matter?
Takeda's horse team rushed again, but Aomori shouted, "Bastard! Get back to your place! There is no value in saving the dead, kill more Chinese! Before you die, kill more people! ”
The 1st Cavalry Wing of the Ota Brigade was completely annihilated, and the team flag fell into the hands of the Lu army. The culprit of the Laiyang Bloody Case, Squadron Leader Aomori was beheaded. Ten minutes later, Squadron Leader Takeda, who claimed to be a normal thing to win or lose, was killed.
Afterwards, Sun Meiyao's evaluation of the battle was that the credit of annihilating the First Wing was not as good as the credit of blocking the Second and Third Cavalry Wings, and the threat of the entire Ota Cavalry Brigade may not be as good as the inconspicuous Fuso cavalry officer. Thanks to hacking him to death, Shandong would not have known how many more soldiers would have died.
Before the 1st Wing was completely wiped out, the Ota Brigade began to retreat, and the cavalry fought, often just to take a breath. Now is the time when the Lu army is full of courage, if he annihilates the first wing, and the second and third wings that have been weakened will suffer even greater losses.
The wise general Ota has never been a loser. His retreat kept the seeds for his own troops, but it was precisely because of his retreat that the Shandong Ace Cavalry Brigade was able to retain its vitality. Otherwise, in the next battle, it is basically impossible for this meritorious unit to enter the battle.
Broken guns, broken knives, mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.
The price of revenge is revenge on revenge. The Sun clan has paid a large number of lives, and even many unmarried women have fallen on the battlefield forever. The victorious Shandong cavalry, holding the enemy's head in one hand, struck the saddle with a saber and shouted
"The old and young masters of the Sun family go slowly! The woman of the Sun family walks slowly! Open your eyes and see, we have avenged you! Oriental devils have died more than us, and we didn't suffer a loss in this deal! ”
Sun Meiyao dismounted and walked towards the infantry position, the situation here was even more miserable than the battlefield of the cavalry. Blocking two wings with one regiment also requires a battalion to prevent the enemy's besieged cavalry wing from breaking through, and the price to be paid is not known. Sun Jiucheng, the commander of the infantry regiment, was seriously wounded, and he had already breathed out more and less in. But when he saw Sun Meiyao coming, he grabbed Sun Meiyao's hand violently, "Promise me...... The future cavalry division can only be surnamed Sun ......"
"I will answer you for the house, the commander of the cavalry division, it will always be our surname Sun, and the infantry brigade commander will also be our surname Sun. People with foreign surnames have great ability, and don't want to be promoted to the main position. ”
Sun Jiu let out a sigh of relief and passed away with a smile.
In the battle, the cavalry brigade lost a total of one regiment commander, three deputy regiment commanders, and twenty-three cadres at the battalion and company level. Sun Meiyao herself was also injured four times, and she was rescued urgently afterwards to get out of danger. The Lu army went out of battle, and the name of the general's wife who dared to die was heard all over the world.
In the ambush battle, a whole cavalry wing of Fuso was defeated, and in the process of attacking the infantry position, it lost nearly one brigade of the Ota cavalry brigade, and it had lost the ability to continue the battle. In desperation, the whole army could only retreat, and from beginning to end, the cavalry did not see the shadow of Weixian, and knew nothing about the situation in Weixian.
From the Battle of Pingdu to the Battle of Weixian, the Fusang Army paid the price of more than 3,000 casualties, although this price was within the bearable range, but in the battle with the Lu army, the losses were so heavy that Shenwei's face was a little unbearable. Moreover, before even the shadow of Qingdao Fortress was seen, thousands of his own people took in. If it is fought like this, how should Qingdao gnaw?
What's more, even if Qingdao is taken, it depends on who takes it. If in the end, the navy conquered Qingdao, but the army and the Lu army fought to defeat both sides, wouldn't it be the first major enemy in vain?
The train rumbled, and inside the blue steel car, Goro Otomo, the plenipotentiary representative of Mitsuzo Kamio, repeatedly calculated what kind of attitude he should take and what strategy he should use to force Zhao Guanhou to comply. Kamio is not a stubborn soldier, whether he is a soldier or a man, he is not lacking in flexibility. Just as he used his sword to target intelligence agencies, he doesn't mind diplomacy as a backup when military alone can't ensure victory.
Although Qingdao has a five-color flag, it is still inhabited by a large number of Prussian expatriates and some soldiers. These are the excuses for Fuso to send troops to intervene. After taking a heavy blow to the head, Otomo actually supported it, and used negotiated deals to achieve his goals.
As long as Zhao Guanhou promised to give up Qingdao, the empire could agree to not move his position as Ludu. Thinking that the other party is also a smart person, he should know that launching a full-scale war with Fusang can only lead to self-destruction. As it is now, it is a good thing for everyone to take a step back from each other and keep a decent peace talk.
Although Fusang suffered heavy losses, Zhao Guanhou's losses were actually even greater. From the landing of the Fusang Army to the present, he has almost taken a brigade to exchange with the Fuso Army, and it must be its fundamental force to fight so fiercely with the Imperial Army. These old guys die one less than one, and every loss of one person is a loss of strength. Such a spelling is nothing more than an expression of one's attitude. Shandong's sky cannot be changed, whoever touches my interests, I will play with whomever I want.
For this kind of people's mentality, Otomo understands better, Fuso is a feudal country with a long history, from the Warring States to the end of the shogunate, is there still a lot of power in similar places? Even now, the factions that control the political arena of Fuso don't they have similar ideas? It can only be said that the empire's strategy at the beginning was wrong, the goal was set too high, and Zhao Guanhou was not left a way out, so it is no wonder that the other party fought to the death.
The siege was lacking, and if it was to negotiate peace, on the condition that Prussia fully possess Prussian interests in China, the two sides would not be able to drink and talk happily.
In Dayou's opinion, Zhao Guanhou certainly wants to solve it, and he may solve it immediately. Whether in terms of strength or popular support, it will take more than ten years to gradually encroach on Zhao Guanhou's strength and replace him. It's a pity that it was too hasty at the beginning, and now it has become this situation.
"Those damn capitalists." Otomo secretly scolded in his heart, "In order to make money, I treat soldiers as consumables, so many wonderful young men, I will never see their mother again." The heads of those dead pigs should be cut off to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in battle. We paid for our lives, but the merchants began to reap the benefits. Prospecting teams have already entered the mine in preparation for the resumption of pit production. It's stupid! If they can't find workers, who do they use to dig coal? ”
He was accompanied to Jinan by 30 members of the Fuso Army, plus a 10-member negotiation team. These people basically represent the opinion of the army, and it is inevitable that they are mixed with the forces of the Fuso chaebols.
"Otomo-kun, you can't say that. The attitude towards Chinese cannot be too soft, otherwise they will have to bargain. Now that our strength is stronger than theirs, we should fight for more interests for the empire, otherwise, how can we be worthy of the dead soldiers? ”
"Wu Nanjun, I can't agree with your point of view. I think the best way to comfort the souls of the soldiers in the sky is to win early and at the same time minimize casualties. What we need is a tranquil environment with reliable logistical access. If it is not clear to be entangled with the local forces in Shandong, what will those mines rely on to resume production? ”
"But don't forget, the empire has invested such a large amount of capital this time, and a single Jiaozhou Bay alone can't make up for such a huge expense."
"Don't forget, if you can't even take Jiaozhou Bay, the other benefits will be just a passing moment, and you won't be able to control anything in the end."
The other party kept silent, and Otomo also fell silent, this negotiation was destined not to go well, and the people around him were afraid that they would do everything they could to sabotage the peace talks. In Fusang, there has always been a force to reverse Zhao, and they don't care how much the final situation in Shandong will be eroded, anyway, if Fusang attacks Shandong Province with one country, how can they win.
What they want is for Zhao Guanhou to disappear, and the local forces in Shandong will be completely driven by Fusang. For them, it was necessary to defeat Zhao Guanhou's forces and remove the overseer from power. It is not in the interests of these chaebols to rely on negotiation to achieve their goals.
It is necessary to deal with the spear in front of you and guard against the dagger behind you. Goro Otomo's head couldn't help but hurt, this matter is really difficult to do.
The car stopped at Jinan Station, but when the group got off the train, they were greeted not by the magistrate from Shandong, but by a well-equipped infantry company. The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the Fuso visitor, and the officer led by him was a high-nosed and deep-eyed Tiele man, and when he saw Otomo and the others, his eyes showed obvious hostility.
"Fuso people? You dare to come to Jinan, the courage is indeed not small, come to someone, disarm! ”
"Wait a minute, we are diplomats and ask to meet with Zhao Guanshuai."
"The marshal is presiding over the public memorial ceremony, and there is no time to negotiate with the dwarfs. Mrs. Sun is very interested in you Fuso people, why don't you talk to her? (To be continued.) )
