Chapter 18: The Ten Day War (7)

In the end, Huang Zhenkui had no other way to think of it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he picked up a rifle with a bayonet on it, trying to kill one by one. It's a pity that his technical and tactical level is no longer the level of the year. After eating a grenade and a platoon of guns, he was helplessly arrested as a negative rate.

Because there were quite a few combat staff officers following in this assault, he recognized it as a big fish at the first time, so he didn't suffer much embarrassment. To his surprise, the meditaries came in and blew him up and wrapped his head in a white bandage as if he were a mummy.

Facing the soldiers who came to inquire, Huang Zhenkui stiffened his neck and said: "I am Huang Zhenkui, the brigade commander of the Third Mixed Brigade, if you want to kill me, I will kill you!" ”

"Oh, Huang Zhenkui," the soldier said, holding a pencil, scribbling something on a card, and then asked for age, place of origin, and other things. Huang Zhenkui's mouth grew up, and he felt like he was punched in the air, and he couldn't help it.

"I said, I'm the commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade!" He had to emphasize one side again.

The soldier let out an "oh", glanced at the information on the card, then looked up and said, "That's right, that's it." Well, do you know your own blood type? ”

"Blood type?"

"Yes, there are a lot of wounded in a war. There will definitely be people who will need blood transfusions, and it will be more convenient to know your blood type. You don't know? It doesn't matter, someone will come and match you in a few days. ”

Huang Zhenkui felt extremely uncomfortable, he was a dignified brigade commander of the Beiyang Army, like a dirt bun, he was taught the principles of maintaining hygiene here, and then he was left to dry..... It was left to dry.......

In fact, some people reported the news of catching this big fish to Cao Degui, who moved forward with the army, but the answer was "I only need technical officers and soldiers, and he, the brigade commander, will be lost to the troops behind!" ”

Because of the strengthening of all mobile forces to the right flank, that is, the left flank of the Beiyang Army, Cao Degui led the troops to advance in great strides. First regained the lost bit of lost ground, and then advanced at a speed of thirty kilometers per day.

In the eyes of later generations, this speed is basically not worth mentioning. However, in this era, it was already the limit of the field troops that could continue to attack and advance after leaving the railway line. Even if Cao Degui wanted to run faster, those rapid-fire guns weighing several tons couldn't keep up.

He wrote in his notebook with a pencil from Handan, "........ Now what is stopping us is not the enemy, but the desperate speed of movement of the artillery units. It is necessary to have in the army a piece of equipment that can carry more weight and move faster than cattle and horses........"

He was thinking about how to attack more quickly, and the city of Beijing was already boiling. I don't know how many people jumped up and down, "Wang Shizhen is incompetent and misleading the country, and he should be deprived of his military position immediately!" Such cries have been heard many times in the Grand Presidential Palace.

Yuan Shikai's face was also gloomy, and he pushed for the war, which was to destroy the strongest enemy, not to be eliminated by others. Fortunately, Li Chun's troops have only advanced less than twenty miles, and now they are being chased back like rabbits.

He is also a person who has been in turmoil for a long time, once acted like the emperor in Korea, once thwarted the Japanese conspiracy to stir up trouble in Korea, and also witnessed the scene of the defeat of the Beiyang Army in Korea. At that time, he also secretly laughed at Li Hongzhang, the master of Beiyang, at both ends of the head of the rat, and finally the chicken and egg were empty.

Now, it's his turn. His appearance was rapidly aging, and he looked more and more haggard as bad news came from the front. As for the calls of some people in Beiyang to return Wang Shizhen, he ignored them all. No matter how confused he is, he doesn't dare to do this imminent change of generals.

Now it is only that the battle situation is unfavorable, and the place where the battle was lost is also close to Shandong. As long as you grit your teeth and persevere, you may be able to turn the tables around. If you really dare to replace Wang Shizhen, you can't say it, and the hundreds of thousands of troops will collapse immediately.

He just sent a telegram to Wang Shizhen's Chinese army headquarters, saying, "The affairs of the army are entrusted to Your Excellency." ”

Wang Shizhen read the telegram he had just received, and then calmly said to the guards beside him: "Put it away and archive it." ”

Then, this "dragon of the North Ocean" stood up and ordered: "Order the commanders of the 2nd Division, the 3rd Division, the Model Division, and the commanders of the mixed brigades and mixed regiments to come over and participate in the military meeting in two hours." ”

Soon after the order was given, the chiefs of the various ministries rushed in. For a moment, the stars in the small hall shone brightly.

Wang Shizhen stood still in front of the sand table, looked around, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Cai Yi, why didn't the commander of your model division come?" ”

The young Cai Yi Cai Songpo was wearing a straight general's uniform, looking heroic, and he replied humbly: "Report, our division commander can't come because of his illness, so I don't want to forgive me." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and someone sneered in a low voice: "I don't think I'm sick, it's that I smoke too much!" ”

"Hehe, I can't see that I'm smoking too much, maybe I'm walking on the dry road with the rabbit."

"Silence!" Wang Shizhen knocked on the table hard, and said: "Everyone, now that we in Beiyang have reached the time of life and death, I hope you can cooperate sincerely." Matsupa, it's the same when you come. ”

"You see, now our left wing is about to collapse." He looked at the crowd with wonderful expressions and continued: "To be precise, our left wing has collapsed. Both Li Chun and Jin Yunpeng's forces had already retreated. ”

He pointed to the shocking situation on the sand table and said, "But this is also a great opportunity, the right flank on the opposite side has advanced too fast, and it has been cut off from the enemy's center in two directions. You see here, it's completely blank here, and their front is incomplete. As long as we rush in from here, we will be able to complete a counter-encirclement and annihilate the enemy's main force in one fell swoop! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shizhen raised his voice and said loudly: "The rise and fall of my Beiyang is here, please work hard!" ”

Behind Wang Shizhen, Feng Xiaobing, who had a big blade and a pistol on his waist at the same time, was standing there, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, and he wanted to rush forward and kill those boxers cleanly. He was so fanatical that he forgot that a few years ago, he was one of those so-called boxers.

Traitors and second devils have always been more vicious than enemies, and this time, it has been well confirmed. (To be continued.) )
