Facts have proved that the Qing army and the Boxer Boxers were not completely uncooperative. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When the boxers played by the Praetorian Guards attacked Dongjiaomin Lane, the Boxers and the Qing army dressed as Boxers blocked the Tang army that was preparing to enter the Beijing Division.

The closest to the Beijing Division was a regiment of the 26th Brigade of the Tang Army in Nanyuan. The regiment has not been formed for a long time, and it is a relatively young unit, and naturally it has never fought. However, Datang's new troops are also brought up by veterans and recruits, so the experience is not necessarily bad.

When Dongjiaomin Lane was attacked by the Praetorian Guards pretending to be the Boxers, the Tang army in Nanyuan was also attacked by the enemy. And tacitly, the commander of the regiment couldn't help but explode foully.

"Caote, will the Boxers have howitzers?"

This is obviously the Boxer army pretended to be by the Qing army, because the Boxers will not have artillery, they can only be the artillery of the Qing army, and judging by the power of this cannon, it is still the bastards of the Manchu Janissary Guard. This howitzer was purchased from the British, who had made a bloody effort to win over the Qing people. The artillery sold to the Janissaries was the best 5-inch howitzer of the British at that time.

Datang has not sold 105mm howitzers to Qing for a long time, and this benchmark weapon has been exported by Datang to a series of allies such as Germany and France, but Qing Guo is stunned. Strictly speaking, it is not nothing, because the Armed Guards are also armed with 105 howitzers.

When the British and Qing were approaching, the Qing court purchased a batch from the British at a not too high price. Although logistical pressures began to arise due to the introduction of the two systems, the Janissaries were satisfied with the new guns of larger caliber and power.

This time it was a deliberate sneak attack by the Boxers (Forbidden) and (Guard) regiments (armies), and even if it was put on a certain imperial army in the 21st century, there was no particularly good way. The enemy used cover and camouflage to place artillery on a high ground near Nanyuan, and then launched an artillery bombardment while the Tang army did not react.

It was dawn, and the Don soldiers had just gotten up when they were shelled. Despite the panic of the soldiers, under the shouting and leadership of the veterans and non-commissioned officers, the Don army quickly took protective measures to minimize the losses as much as possible. Although the artillery skills of the Praetorian Guard artillery were within the scope of the Qing army, the real dispersion of the shells was still very large, and even more than half of the shells did not fall in the Nanyuan military camp at all.

The Qing army has not been completely mixed with dogs in recent years, and this night attack was relatively successful in terms of tactical application. The purpose was to prevent the Tang army from supporting the "small concession" in Dongjiaomin Lane in the capital, so as to ensure that this Tang army would be eaten and bring great damage to the Tang people. On the one hand, we can better avoid the impenetrable reconnaissance line set up by the Tang Army, especially against those reconnaissance planes that have no effective way to deal with them. On the other hand, at this time, the Tang army's vigilance was relatively low, and they rushed to act before they started on the side of Dongjiaomin Lane, and the Tang people had definitely not been notified yet.

In fact, this is also a problem for Yu Xiangbei, commander of the North China Military Division, and this time the military intelligence unit planted a heel in the situation of the Boxers, which not only made the president dissatisfied, but also made the military unlucky. Yu Xiangbei is in this position, and it is extremely difficult to go further with the age problem, so it is inevitable that he will have an attitude of not seeking merit but seeking no fault. When he did not have a thorough grasp of the Boxer operation, he did not want to send his troops out to deal with the bandits. The organizational form of the boxers determined that it was inappropriate for large armies to fight even on a formed scale, and they might also take advantage of the geographical and human factors to counter the Tang army. Even though Xiangbei finally won the battle, it caused a large number of casualties. And Datang has seen it for more than 20 years to the present, only a handful of people have been injured in the war, and many people have died in his war, so he will also be nailed to the pillar of shame. Therefore, when the intelligence is incomplete and the situation has not deteriorated, Yu Xiangbei will not move. And he still has a kind of luck in his heart, that is, the chaos of the Boxers, which may come and go quickly, toss and toss when they appear difficult to maintain, they will be annihilated in one fell swoop, and they will fight beautifully. Moreover, Chang Bin, commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Theater, will also come to Tanggu to command the operation later, and his command will be handed over at that time. If he didn't play well before Chang Bin came, then it would be a very distressing situation.

This is also a somewhat sad thing, the almost perfect resume in the Tang military campaign not only gives the generals who serve in the army pride and confidence, but also gives them a lot of pressure.

This kind of negativity is not only found in the north, but also in other people. Since its establishment, the Tang Army has always had an active, active, and flexible military style, and too much psychological baggage has made these characteristics of the Tang Army not well developed. The Tang army was convinced that we were well trained, our weapons were good, and our tactics were good, so they would not take a particularly risky and aggressive approach, and would tend to stick to their tactics in the face of all changes.

It can be said that after the boxing rebellion began, in addition to the marines desperately looking for Zhang Enling's traces, they continued to attack the Boxer organization. The troops on other fronts, although they did not slacken, were not proactive enough.

After the shelling, the False Boxers did not have a particularly good way to verify their artillery results, but they still boldly used the method of artillery cover and infantry shock to attack the Nanyuan Tang Army garrison.

The number of troops attacking Nanyuan was more than 7,000, and the main force was naturally the disguised Praetorian Guard, but the Boxer organization also fought with the Praetorian Guard, so the momentum was not small. The Nanyuan Regiment is a newly formed unit of the 26th Brigade, and in fact the full strength is not high, and there are only more than 1,000 people at this time.

But.

But.

However, this is a mechanized army.

When I got up in the morning, I let people touch the door of my house and wash my face with artillery fire. It's a shame to spread the word. The officers and men of the Don were furious, and while they were protecting themselves under artillery fire, they quickly jumped into their infantry tanks and tanks, which were highly combat-ready.

The Qing army was not unaware that the Nanyuan Tang Army was mechanized infantry, but they did not have a particularly good way, and shelling was the only option. However, when the Praetorian Guards and the Boxers rushed to the Nanyuan barracks under the cover of artillery fire with confidence, the Tang army's infantry chariots and tanks were killed from the barracks.

It takes time to arrange artillery, but the tanks' direct-fire guns don't require much preparation. Suddenly, 85-mm tank shells burst out of the chamber and bombarded the attacking Qing troops, bursting into brilliant fire. (To be continued.) )
