Chapter 16: The Ten Day War (5)

Standing in front was the 3rd Mixed Brigade under Huang Zhenkui's department. Huang Bu had received an order to reinforce www.biquge.info also did not know that the front line would be defeated so quickly, and he had just heard the sound of gunfire in front of him halfway through.

Having participated in the First Sino-Japanese War, Su Xun's men seized a nearby village, and then set up heavy machine guns and infantry guns in the village. The Beiyang Army was transformed from Li Hongzhang's Huai Army, and it was also able to inherit the tactical thinking of hardening the village and fighting a dumb battle.

Huang Zhenkui only got the position of commander of a mixed brigade, which shows that he is not very good at drilling camps, and he is not very good at paying attention to the offensive spirit that is now prevalent in the world's armies. His head is still stuck in the era of the old Beiyang. So, he's not very good at how to organize an offense, but he's very good at defending.

Immediately after seizing the village, he ordered trenches and barriers to be erected on the roads in the village. Everything is in accordance with the regulations, and it is also in order. When the army of Handan collided head-on, it suffered a lot of losses under such a defensive system.

This kind of old-fashioned defense system, which had already been formed during the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, was not worth mentioning in the face of new cannons. However, those who attacked also brought some small-caliber mortars. Although the casualties on both sides were very heavy, this mixed brigade actually withstood it.

By the time Cao Degui came up, the brigade hiding in the village was already crumbling. Thousands of people were crammed into such a small village, and if they were shot down, there would be several casualties. EVEN A 60MM CALIBER MORTAR IS VERY LETHAL TO THE PERSONNEL IN THESE FORTIFICATIONS.

Huang Zhenkui's face was also scratched by the flying shrapnel, and half of his face was stained red with blood, and his face was also a senior, which looked terrifying. He is a veteran soldier who has followed Nie Shicheng to fight hard against the Japanese army in Korea, can endure hardships, and is good at fighting against the wind.......... Well, that's because when they faced the Japanese army, they were all pressed and beaten. He wants to fight with the wind, but the key is that he can't kill the Japanese!

The situation in front of him suddenly reminded this middle-aged man of the time when he was pressed to the ground and beaten by the Japanese. Although he was shocked, he did not panic, but effectively organized the soldiers in the village. Collect the wounded, repair positions, redistribute ammunition.

Seeing that the main general was so calm, the soldiers below also had a backbone. For a while, the morale of these Beiyang troops who were cowered in the village was actually greatly boosted.

Cao Degui dismounted and took people around the village twice, without spending an hour in total. By the time he returned to the regimental headquarters, Commander Li had already organized the second wave of troops, and the shells that had just been sent had been fired. He was doing the pre-war mobilization when he saw the commander-in-chief of the right wing coming all the way.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said; "Commander, why did you really come in person?"

"Hmph, I'm not coming, how long are you going to waste here this kid?" Cao Degui habitually reprimanded twice, and when he saw that the regiment leader's face was like dirt, he comforted him and said: "But you played well in front, and such a person on the opposite side is rare." How can there be such a way of fighting in war? The roads in and out of the village are blocked, and they are not guarding it, they are going to defend it! ”

"Isn't it," Regiment Commander Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "they are just talking to us about consumption, and they want me to say that as long as we concentrate a dozen cannons, how can we also flatten these guys who gather together like hedgehogs." ”

Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at Cao Degui, and then said, "Commander, why don't you just stay here and watch the little thieves?" ”

"Still looking at the children's thieves?" Cao Degui's face was unhappy, "Tell me." How are you going to fight? ”

Commander Li came to the spirit and drew a rough plan of the entire village with a few clicks on the ground. He pointed to several of them and said: "The core of the enemy's defense is this artillery and a few heavy machine gun fire points, and I am ready to launch a wave of attacks in the west to attract the attention of the enemy, and then rush in from the south with the assault team." As long as this artillery position is destroyed, no matter how strong their defensive line is, it will be useless. ”

"Hmm," Cao Degui had already looked around the village twice just now, and he understood this sketch very clearly, he naturally knew that what Chief Li said was an understatement, but in fact it was very sinister. Even if it attracted the enemy's attention in the east, the enemy was maneuvering on the inner line, and it was much faster to send reinforcements and turn the muzzle.

Once the assault team is unable to complete the target, it is easy to get caught in the middle of the enemy's attack. However, such a plan is very much to his appetite. How can there be no danger in war? It is because of the danger that victory seems so precious.

He showed a satisfied look, patted the shoulder of the head of the group, and said, "Very good, it is worthy of being brought out by me." In this way, you organize an attack with men to the east, and I rush in from the south with a commando. ”

"How can this be done?" Regiment Commander Li shouted, "The Chief of the General Staff has long said that generals who are not allowed to lead troops are allowed to take the lead in the charge. ”

"Hmph, the military order will not be subject to the outside." Cao Degui drank: "Now that I am the front-line commander, and the situation is so urgent, do you want to disobey before the battle?" ”

As soon as this big hat was buttoned down, Regiment Leader Li was pale, so he had to nod and agree.

This time, Cao Degui brought the entire staff team and the subordinate guard forces, which were more than 600 people. He gathered together all those who had weapons in them, and there were more than three hundred of them. Coupled with the more than 200 people in the commando team, she now has an elite force of 600 people in her hands.

In this chaos of hundreds of thousands of people, these 600 people may not even be able to make a splash if they are thrown into it. It was a few years ago, and if there was such an armed force in hand, it would be able to walk sideways in the hometown. Even during the Great War last year, he often led the infantry to charge.

From Tianjin to Langfang, from Langfang to Beijing, on this railway line, he led a few dozen troops, more than a thousand troops, and fought with the Japanese, the Germans, the British, the Russians, the Americans, and every uninvited army of the great powers.

It is precisely because he dared to fight, experienced a hundred battles, and made countless military exploits that he changed from a side unit that took refuge halfway to the right-wing commander of the advanced Handan Army.

It can be said that his position and military exploits were built up by relying on the countless corpses of his own people and enemies. The situation in front of him is much better than his previous time. At that time, he didn't have such elite troops and so many sophisticated weapons in his hands. At that time, they were fighting the enemy with their heads in their hands. (To be continued.) )
