"My lord, can you withdraw or not?" Ban Qi wiped the cold sweat on his head and asked Sai Chong Adao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sai Chong'a was also very entangled at this time, even if he had heavy troops, but the strength of the Tang Army was too strong. Although the Tang army was under the banner of exercise, Sai Chong'a believed that the Tang army was not afraid to attack the Praetorian Guard to some extent, which was also the original idea of the Tang army, to deter the Qing court.

He pushed out the artillery regiment and immediately attracted the iron convoy of the Tang Army, to say that over the years, the Praetorian Guard has trained a lot, and if there is still a little confidence in dealing with other Tang troops, this iron convoy has no way at all. Datang will not sell anti-chariot weapons to the Qing army, even if some artillery pieces are sold, but the combat ability of chariots is not strong. The Qing court has not been able to develop its own military manufacturing capacity so far, unlike European countries that can imitate a lot of foreign trade weapons of the Tang Dynasty, and the Qing court has not even succeeded in copying the original SC-2 paper shell rifle. Not to mention using its own military industrial capabilities to create anti-combat anti-combat artillery.

Moreover, the Qing army in front reported that they had seen a chariot that they had never seen before. It was the same kind of chariot with a tracked chassis, but carrying a particularly thick artillery, and the Qing army only regarded this as a new self-propelled gun of the Tang Army, not knowing that the real name of this thing should be called a tank.

If the Janissary artillery regiment acted rashly, it would inevitably lead to an attack by the Tang Army's iron convoy, and Sai Chong'a could not bear to lose his troops. At the last moment, he ordered the Qing troops in the target area to withdraw. The artillery regiment was also withdrawn from the front and back. Cover was carried out by the infantry of the Qing army. Sai Chong'a also had a heart and ordered the Qing army to set up obstacles on the retreat road.

However, this move made Luo Yuankui, the battalion commander of the Tang Army's mechanized infantry battalion, laugh, "Since more than ten years ago, our mechanized infantry has been galloping freely on this land, and the Qing army has suffered no less. ”

Modern horses are certainly capable of blocking the advance of chariots, but they are made of steel. The strength should also be sufficient, obviously the industrial capacity of the Qing State, using steel to make a horse that simply blocks the advance of the chariot, it is really painful, so the obstacles they use are still relatively primitive, and the horse made of wood is impossible to stop the infantry fighting vehicle of the infantry battalion in any case.

Xie Jinwu, who was in the front-line command post, once again received information about the withdrawal of the Qing army from the target area, he just smiled slightly and asked Liu Zhiyu: "How is the deployment of the Fire Arrow Regiment?" ”

Liu Zhiyu said: "In addition, the three self-propelled artillery battalions of the artillery battalion of the Longxiang regiment have already arranged mobile artillery positions in the front row, and the two heavy artillery battalions have also completed the deployment of positions. Under the protection of our infantry. ”

Xie Jinwu's smile did not decrease, and he said, "Then send another letter to the Qing army." ”

It was almost completely dark. Sai Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in this environment, the possibility of the Tang Army launching an artillery offensive was greatly reduced, at least he was able to sleep a good night, at least after being manipulated for a day. However, Tang Jun did not do what he wanted, and a total of five coordinate areas were written on the pieces of paper sent this time.

"What do these evil Tang people want to do?!"

Even Ban Qi became a little suspicious, and said: "This eighty percent is that the Tang army wants to consume us, so that we are exhausted, once there is a real conflict, our morale is low, the soldiers are tired, and the Tang army is recuperating, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss at that time." ”

Sai Chong also felt that this was the truth, so he said: "No matter, this time I don't want to ask us to move again." ”

But Ban Qi became a little hesitant again: "But what if the Tang Army really fired?" ”

"It's a big black sky, even if it's a cannon, it's not very accurate, if the Tang people are bold, let's kill the generals and kill them to pieces." Sai Chong said angrily.

On the other side, Xie Jinwu was holding a military lunch box and eating the Tang Army's battlefield self-heating rations. The Tang Army's battlefield rations were more varied, and they were very convenient, using the method of chemical heating, which was no different from the more advanced battlefield rations of later generations.

Xie Jinwu said while eating: "Actually, the best way for the Qing army to face this situation is to give up the mentality of passively relying on the defense of the city, take the initiative to attack, carry out mobile active defensive operations, and rely on building a multi-layered defense line to force our forces outward, so as to ensure the safety of the troops on the entire front as much as possible and further ensure the safety of the Beijing division." ”

Liu Zhiyu said with a smile: "The brigade commander is still thinking from their standpoint, but the brigade commander, you said, if they really kill us and squeeze us outward, can they do it?" ”

Xie Jinwu didn't think about it, and said, "I can't do it." ”

The two glanced at each other and laughed, and the entire Tang Army's front seemed to be in a moderately relaxed atmosphere in the laughter, and the Tang Army clearly did not pay attention to the enemy in front of them.

Xie Jinwu filled the last piece of sauced beef in the lunch box into his mouth, glanced at his watch, and said, "It's almost time, let our artillery move their hands and feet." ”

Liu Zhiyu saluted: "Yes!" ”

The Tang army had its back to Tanggu, and the entire highway line from Tanggu to Jingshi was unimpeded and under the control of the Tang army, which enabled military transport trucks from Tanggu to transport all kinds of logistical materials to the front line without hindrance. The Tang Army's combat readiness warehouse in Tanggu has a large amount of weapons and ammunition in reserve, and only a few types of ammunition for the core 105-mm howitzer have a total of 110,000 rounds, while the 105-mm self-propelled guns and towed howitzers under the First Brigade have a total of 240 actual and spare guns, and each gun can be allocated an average of more than 4,000 shells, and the barrel life of the gun is less than half of these ammunition.

Xie Jinwu gave an order, and the main artillery of the five artillery battalions of two calibers poured artillery fire on the Qing army. Although the sky was indeed dark, the Qing army lacked experience in anti-artillery and was too concentrated, and the Tang army had a simple artillery fire guide carried out by scouts, although the hit rate was lower than usual, but for a time dozens of cannons roared and fired shells, and the Qing army also beat a person on his back.

Sai Chong'a was stunned when he heard the first cannon shot.

"Why did the Tang army shoot artillery?" Sai Chong'a looked at the soldiers of the headquarters who were swept by the artillery fire in a daze, and suddenly became crazy, shouting: "Retreat, tell the brothers to retreat!" ”

In fact, there was no need for him to greet him, and the attacked Qing army ran around, avoiding the artillery attack of the Tang army. It's just that the retreat of the Praetorian Guard soldiers was disorderly, but it further confused themselves, and more unlucky ghosts were killed and wounded by shells that did not have long eyes, and after an almost blindfolded shelling, the Qing army actually suffered casualties plus those who escaped, and lost more than a thousand people.
