Chen Tingxiang's head was raised, and his Adam's apple was swaying up and down. After a while, he suddenly laughed unexpectedly. Actually, he knew too well what Tan Shaoguang wanted to know in his heart. Obviously, as a brigade commander, isn't the special service battalion's appearance in Gushan a little too unsatisfactory? It is impossible for Chen Tingxiang not to know. As for the reason? It was impossible for him not to know, and this was exactly what Commander Tan actually wanted to know.

But Chen Tingxiang has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, he is good at protecting calves, and in this regard, he has completely inherited the mantle of his leader, His Royal Highness King An. The spy battalion is his old subordinate, like a child raised from a young age, although he is still young and has no experience in starting a family, but human nature determines this. In short, as he said after hearing Liu Mingyuan's report, "This matter ends here." He didn't want to mention it, and he didn't want to mention it again, no matter who it was to.

Regarding Tan Shaoguang's accusation, he was mentally prepared before he came. But he was still embarrassed, because he had never been accused of not giving any face at all. Of course, except for the time when he followed His Royal Highness King An to Shanghai in the first two years. However, let's not say that he already has a handle in the hands of others, but the person sitting in front of him is Tan Shaoguang, who is also a figure he can't provoke, his old brigade commander.

"Commander, let's not mention this Gushan matter, right?" As he spoke, Chen Tingxiang glanced at the guys who were going to "watch him lively", scratched his head, and straightened his waist, "If the opposite side is fighting the Manchu Dynasty, it doesn't hurt to change the second division." It's a pity that this gang of Tsarist Russia left our teaching brigade to fight, but I am afraid that he will not feel well. ”

He looked at Tan Shaoguang and became hippie smiling, "Let's talk about the battle on the south bank." As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, but the task you gave me was to take down the two forts of Antlers Mouth and Longmiaozui before midnight on the 20th, and I will take them down for you when the time comes, why do you have to take a small whip like this and follow behind our buttocks? ”

Tan Shaoguang snorted, still unrelenting, "Can you still fight?" ”

"Oh, my commander, what do you mean to be able to fight? Even if there is one less battalion, my teaching brigade is crippled? You're underestimating my teaching brigade, aren't you? Chen Tingxiang pouted, "What's more, my special service battalion is still a special service battalion, and I can't take these two forts even when the time comes, so I'll come to see you." ”

Tan Shaoguang didn't pay attention to Chen Tingxiang anymore. In his heart, he and Chen Tingxiang have one thing in common, and they also have infinite high hopes for the teaching brigade.

According to the earliest order of the reorganization of the army, the Red Eighth Army was formed on the basis of the teaching brigade, that is to say, the first Red Army unit of the Celestial Empire, after more than two years of vigorous development, will no longer exist separately. In order to preserve this heroic unit, a large number of Red Army generals, including Chen Yucheng, Tan Shaoguang, Li Shixian, and others, wrote to the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee, and the teaching brigade was finally preserved. Tan Shaoguang will not fail to pay attention to this army, soldiers, and have a special complex for his old troops.

What's more, Tan Shaoguang was the Red First Army that he took over before the Eastern Expedition, and the reason why the northern camp had such an arrangement is actually self-evident. In the Eastern Expedition to Weihai, in addition to the Red First Army, there was also a teaching brigade, which was the only two cavalry units of the Red Army of the Shandong Celestial Empire. Naturally, the commander who can command this campaign, in addition to having the strength to command the Red First Army, must also be able to restrain the teaching brigade, and this candidate, after Chen Yucheng, is only Tan Shaoguang more suitable.

It is conceivable that when he came to Weihai, every shining point of the teaching brigade was actually what Tan Shaoguang expected. Similarly, once there is any mistake in the teaching brigade, this is not only a problem of the teaching brigade itself, but also a direct problem involving Tan Shaoguang's personal face. As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more fierce the responsibility.

Tan Shaoguang looked at the generals present and smiled, "In the second stage of the battle, the task is more severe than the previous stage, and there is no room for maneuver. ”

He looked at Lai Yuxin, "In order to mobilize more Russian naval guns ashore, you have to bear heavier pressure there." I consider that before midnight today, the Teaching Brigade will temporarily cease its large-scale offensive, except for maintaining contact with Tsarist Russia with a small number of troops. The teaching brigade only made a posture of cutting off the Tsarist Russian army on the south bank to aid the Weihai Acropolis, giving them the illusion. In addition, the 2nd Red Division will be assigned to your command, and the specific arrangements will be explained in detail by the chief of staff. I will only say one more thing, that before midnight on the 20th, all the forts, whether on the south bank or on the north bank, must be destroyed by me. ”

During the whole day of the 19th, the 1st Red Division, which had already held the commanding heights of the southern line of Weihaiwei, such as Laohushan, Foding Mountain, and Xianguding, began to wage a "fierce battle" with Tsarist Russia at Naigu Mountain, the western barrier of Weihaiwei. The military trumpets were raised and sounded over and over again, and the officers and men of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Red Division braved the heavy rain to launch a "fierce attack" on the Tsarist defenders entrenched on Naigu Mountain again and again.

The relentless raindrops, mixed with the terrible shells of both sides, ploughed up and down the Naigu Mountain, repeatedly.

The sky gradually darkened, and the direction of Mt. Naigu suddenly fell silent. However, it was only a short period of time, and soon, the artillery fire fired from the Weihai Acropolis turned Naigu Mountain into a sea of fire, reflecting half of the sky.

"We were reinforced to the mountains early that morning to set up defenses, and after coming up, the adults in the battalion and squadron said that the enemy army was fighting fiercely with our army in the south, and our defense was only preliminary, and it was estimated that even if the enemy army could break through the defense of our army in the south, it would be a day later." The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Weihai Garrison of Tsarist Russia still showed confusion in their eyes when they recalled the battle of Naigu Mountain, "Who would have thought that they would arrive before lunch was eaten." From near noon until nightfall. The sky seemed to be leaking, and the rain made people see everything vaguely, but they kept blowing the trumpet and rushing upwards. The sound of the cannon shook the ears and buzzed, and the shells fell to the ground, splashing without knowing whether it was blood or rain. After lying in the muddy water for a long time, the whole body was soaked and swollen, and the hands and feet were not easy to use. Eventually, I felt like my front belly was almost on the back of my back, and I was so hungry that I panicked, my eyes were dizzy, and I couldn't wait to go up and take a bite when I looked at the dead body next to me. But I don't understand, how can they be made of stone on the mountainside? ”

"What kind of battle was that? Our artillery team dragged six cannons up the hill, and four of them were knocked over by their artillery fire not long after the battle began. If it weren't for the timely start of artillery support in the city, it is really hard to imagine how long Naigu Mountain could hold on? This is a soldier of the 2nd Battalion Artillery Team, recalling that time, "I fought until dusk, and I had already become an infantryman, so I could only lie on my stomach in the muddy water." I didn't eat two meals, I was hungry, and I was cold, and you could see that everyone who was still alive had a bruised face and couldn't help but shiver. But the soldiers of the Red Army below were like people who could never be killed, and they kept coming up, going down, going down, and coming up again. It was dark, and although the rain was not so heavy, it was still sparsely drawn, and the Red Army, which had been staying on the mountainside, did not seem to want to fight anymore, and it was vaguely possible to see that some of them had begun to turn around and go down the mountain. 'Ula', a few guys cheering. Yes, there is no one who is not excited, at least they will be able to eat in a while, even if it is a sip of hot water, it is a very exciting thing. Who knows, at this time, on the other side of the mountain, they touched their people......"

The Tsarist Russians on Naigu Mountain were so hungry that they had only eaten two meals, but the soldiers of the Red First Division in front of them, from last night's departure to the present, all the food they had carried on them was a corn tortilla smaller than a palm. It is these fearless soldiers who are creating one miracle after another.

According to the torture tactics arranged by Lai Yuxin, the Red Third Regiment tortured the Tsarist defenders on the mountain for more than half a day, and the shells fired from the Weihai Acropolis were not much inferior to the rain in the sky.

As night fell, the Red Third Regiment on the mountainside began to feign retreat. At this time, the division's special service battalion had already quietly touched up from the northern hillside. By the time the trumpet sounded, rows of locust-like grenades had flown into the positions of the Tsarist Russia on the hilltop, and in the blink of an eye, a hand-to-hand combat began......

"Your Excellency, Naigu Mountain is lost!" In the Weihai Acropolis, the commander of the 1st Regiment of Tsarist Russia staggered into the command room of the garrison headquarters Dasamov.

"What?" Dasamov trembled, grabbed the neck of the commander of the 1st regiment in disbelief, and shouted, "Impossible! ”

yes, how is that possible? The artillery of nearly ten naval ships has been moved into Weihaiwei, and the powerful artillery fire has stopped the advance of the Red Army on the southern front.
