Chapter 13: The Howling Moon Dog (4)

Feng Guozhang claims to be the first person to know the soldiers in China, and of course he will not be caught off guard by the 79th Infantry Regiment. Although www.biquge.info he didn't expect this infantry regiment to send reinforcements so quickly, he had already sent enough sentries on several nearby avenues.

After receiving the news from the spies, Feng Guozhang didn't take long to make a decision. Only 1,000 cavalry came to help, and the commander Cao Degui did not know that it was the field troops of the Beiyang Army that attacked Anping Town. He just felt that he couldn't pull out all the troops, at least put some troops in the barracks to watch the house.

Not only did the barracks have stockpiled a lot of grain, grass and ammunition, but also a lot of heavy weapons, all of which are absolutely inmissible. Cao Degui's abacus played very well, if it was a small group of bandits, a thousand steps could be suppressed. If it is a big war, it must not be something that he can solve with the strength of one regiment.

In this era, the level of science and technology could not play the effect of "blitzkrieg", and the cavalry could launch an attack by surprise and take the lead, but the use of cavalry was very limited, and there were only more than 100 cavalry in his hands, which was still counted by counting the mounts of officers at all levels and the cavalry used for reconnaissance and communication. With such a small amount of cavalry, it is impossible to do any sudden blows, unless the opponent is a waste material.

Of course, Feng Guozhang is not a waste material, if he is a waste material, then there are few qualified military personnel in China. Although he was a little late, he still spotted the enemy army rushing in. In his original plan, he was to occupy Anping Town as soon as possible, and then rely on this place for defense, like a nail.

Unfortunately, this goal was not accomplished, and the enemy's reinforcements arrived. Feng Guozhang also took advantage of the situation to modify the combat objectives, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy came from afar and was in a disadvantaged number. Just do it, he is an absolute man of action, which is completely different from Wang Shizhen's kind of plan and then action.

The militia in Anping Town has been disabled, so there is no need to waste troops on this side. Feng Guozhang quickly adjusted the arrangement of his troops, and according to the tactics he had been trained for a long time, he went over to the 79th Infantry Regiment. Be bold, just use it, this is Feng Guozhang, after making a decision, he will go directly to do it, and he will never drag the mud and water.

The swift blow of the Beiyang Army caused Cao Degui's troops to suffer a small loss. The scout cavalry who had unscrupulously approached the vicinity of Anping lost a lot of money in the platoon of guns of the Beiyang Army, and then they were expelled from the edge of the battlefield by the cavalry of the Beiyang Army.

Cao Degui, who was riding on a horse, squinted his eyes, looked at the scene of the cavalry of the Beiyang Army driving away his cavalry, snorted coldly, and said: "It turned out to be the Beiyang Army, I said that the hippopotamus guy also followed the fight in Langfang and Beijing, how could he be so embarrassed by the bandits." ”

"Sir," the staff officer said to Cao Degui, "since the enemy is the Beiyang Army, and its number is far superior to ours, should we temporarily stop advancing and wait for reinforcements?" ”

Cao Degui pondered for a moment, and then flatly refused: "No, let's continue to move forward and enter Anping Town." At the same time, he sent signal corps to rule over other infantry regiments and cavalry regiments in the vicinity, and at the same time sent a report to Handan that the Beiyang Army had invaded our garrison, and I asked for authorization to control all the armed forces in the vicinity. ”

"Uncle, isn't this okay?" The staff officer's surname is Cao, and his single name is a treasure character, and he is also from Caojia Village, he frowned and said: "Temper all the armed forces, will this be ........." As he said, he stretched out his finger and pointed to it, and then said: "Will you receive the suspicion from above?" ”

"What do you want?" Cao Degui turned his head and reprimanded: "We are soldiers, so we only care about the war, don't always think about messy things." With that strength, it is better to think about how to win. Remember, we soldiers speak by their achievements! ”

Although Cao Bao disagreed in his heart, Cao Degui's martial arts were higher than him, and his seniority was older than him, so he had to obediently agree.

Ancient and modern warfare in China and abroad has followed some of the same principles, that is, "reconnaissance, discovery, approach, projection, and close combat", and the two warring sides still cannot escape this barrier in essence. The 79th Infantry Regiment from afar did not carry many shells, and there were only two heavy machine guns, while on the side of the Beiyang Army, there were a lot of artillery and machine guns, but a lot of ammunition had been consumed in the previous attack.

Therefore, the main combat strength of both sides is dominated by light infantry. This is also due to the backwardness of East Asia's industry and inconvenient transportation. There are many places here that are not covered by the railway. It is the cavalry that can be used for rapid maneuvers that has not changed for thousands of years. For example, in the Franco-Prussian War, the Prussians relied on the railroad to maneuver, which was completely unworkable here.

The cavalry fought each other in an attempt to gain control of the battlefield. But they are destined to be reduced to a supporting role in this battle. On the outskirts of Anping Town, a bloody battle broke out between the infantry who collided together.

At this time, the Beiyang Army was not a warlord army after the great expansion, and those who could be selected into the army were all good sons of the Northland. These soldiers have been among the best soldiers in China from ancient times to the present, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they were Chinese people. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were government soldiers..........

Most of the troops on the side of the Black Dragon Society were developed from the remnants of the Society, and these people could only wander in the countryside, and their discipline and obedience were not very good. However, under the brutal rule of the Black Dragon King, those who dared to blow up the thorns were sent to the mines. Under Chen Cheng's series of brainwashing methods, honor and materials go hand in hand, plus the bonus brought by a hundred victories in a hundred battles, they are not under the Beiyang Army in terms of discipline alone.

In terms of technical tactics and combat experience, the 79th Infantry Regiment of the Black Dragon Society has an overall advantage. After all, they were brave soldiers who had just crossed the alliance with the great powers, and the tactics they used had long surpassed the Beiyang Army's queue to shoot.

Although the Beiyang Army's platoon guns were fast and accurate, the Black Dragon Society soldiers who attacked in a skirmish line played a one-to-three or even one-to-four exchange ratio at a distance of three or four hundred meters. The power of the Mosin Nagant rifle was also far superior to that of the old Mauser rifle, and within half an hour of the exchange of fire, the originally neat queue of the Beiyang Army was punched out of a lot of gaps.

Feng Guozhang frowned, he was greatly surprised that the enemy was so well-armed, this kind of firepower was probably much stronger than that of the Japanese. But it doesn't matter, we in Beiyang have always dared to fight hand-to-hand.

He only thought about it for a few seconds, and then gave a very kind order, "Blow the trumpet, let the soldiers charge with bayonets!" (To be continued.) )
