Chapter 82: A Ridiculous Battle

Even if it was a recruit division, Lu Chu did not intend to be beaten passively. Of course, the three divisions were all composed of new soldiers, but the tenth town was even more unbearable, nothing more than worse. Besides, the combat effectiveness of the Third Division is not so bad, and the Third Division, armed with modern training methods and advanced weapons, has the strength to confront any unit of this era head-on, of course, in the case of losses.

Wanjialing, east of Raoping, was responsible for sniping at the 10th Town here only with more than 2,000 people from the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Division, and the 2nd and 3rd Brigades were waiting in concealment in the Lianrao area on the border between Fujian and Guangdong. Lu Chu wants to stage a dumpling here, dumplings with big fillings, and the plan has been approved by the General Staff after it was reported, and Lu Liang only has one sentence: "Free play, Lao Tzu is not a soldier, where do you know so many tactics?" ”

The Tenth Town unsurprisingly did not arrive at Raoping at the scheduled time, and it was only half of the more than 50 kilometers before it was dark, and Sun Daoren had to order to camp on the spot and leave again tomorrow. This trip made him tired, and at first he was in high spirits on the horse, but as soon as the little wind blew the wine, he came up, vomited twice in succession, and then got into the sedan chair and fell asleep. All the co-ordinators and standard commanders have all drunk wine, where does the spirit restrain the team!

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Tenth Town were all from Fujian, and the roads were familiar, and they never thought of being deserters, so they barely walked more than fifty miles. Maybe among the many officers, only Xu Chongzhi can be regarded as dedicated and dedicated, but this half of the eldest son should be the standard, maybe the rest of the officers still respect him for three points in his uncle's face, who will put him in those veteran oils! Xu Chongzhi followed the set of the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, wanted to restrain the troops, and ran back and forth in his own standard, but he was all laughed at by those soldiers, and how to go one by one, many smokers were already yawning, tears flowing, and they couldn't help it.

The order to camp was given, and the soldiers of the Tenth Town sat down on the ground and did not move. "Wang Yingtong, let your people go to camp and arrange the baggage, Liu Yingtong, let your people plant the camp flag, burn the fire and cook, Dong Lao Liu, you take people to reconnoiter the surroundings." Xu Chongzhi shouted around, and none of the soldiers who led the command stood up.

Xu Chongzhi just wanted to get angry, but he choked himself enough along the way, and he couldn't remember how many times he got angry. Wang Degui, the battalion commander under his command, reluctantly stood up with a saber and said with a smile: "Lord Biaotong, you dissipate your anger, I will teach them a lesson about these unfortunate things later, you rest first, and the things you explain will be done for you!" ”

Looking at Wang Degui, who sat down again, and the eyes of everyone who seemed to be smiling, Xu Chongzhi slammed the horsewhip, turned around and walked under a big tree to sulk. Deng Yinnan came up and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Brother Xian, don't worry too much, how long have they been training." We only need to wait for the news of the victory of the Japanese in this dispatch, and it is still unrealistic to expect the tenth town to fight! ”

"Brother Deng, the army of the imperial court is unbearable, and so is the new army, it's really infuriating! The funny thing is that my uncle is still worried about my safety, and stuffed most of the veterans from the Green Battalion and the Hunan Army to my second standard, in fact, they are not as good as those recruits, at least they still listen to a little order! The veterans are all big smokers, and none of them can use it! If this is our Xingzhonghui army, it will definitely not be like this! ”

"Mr. Sun has also discussed with me many times about the revolutionary armed forces, and the failure of several uprisings shows that our strength is too weak, but the army is the only way to overthrow the Manchu Qing, and the changes of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao show that it is impossible to expect the Qing court to reform itself. Now bear with yourself in the new army, work hard to develop the revolutionary forces, and expose the ugly behavior of the Qing court in losing power and humiliating the country externally and bullying the people at home. When we defeat the Zhenguo Party and gain a place in Guangdong, we will have our own army. ”

"Mr. Deng, I still don't understand one thing, the Xingzhong Association and the Zhenguo Party in Lu Liang are supposed to be revolutionary organizations, why are they incompatible now?"

Mr. Sun summarized Lu Liang's crimes in three points: first, under the banner of a revolutionary organization, in fact, it was a warlord separatism; Second, instead of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it provoked international powers and pushed the country into an unfavorable situation; The third is hostility to other revolutionary organizations, we have accurate information, the year before last, the Xingzhong Society sent Zheng Shiliang to prepare to launch an anti-Qing uprising in Huizhou, but before it was launched, it was detected by the Qing court, and the local squire also organized young men to arrest Zheng Shiliang, which led to the failure of the uprising, and Zheng Shiliang's family had no place in Huizhou! Lu Liang ostensibly welcomed the cooperation of other organizations, and even invited Mr. Sun to come to Guangzhou for talks, but what he did not expect was that not long after Mr. Sun arrived in Guangzhou, Zheng Shiliang accidentally got the real news of the failure of the uprising. Do you say that Lu Liang harbors evil intentions? If he is allowed to continue to grow, our country does not know where he will be taken to! After receiving the news of Zheng Shiliang, Mr. Sun immediately left Guangzhou and returned to Japan to organize a denunciation of the Zhenguo Party. Deng Yinnan Balabala said a lot, in fact, the real reason is that Sun Ge's selfishness is to blame again, what will happen to the revival of the party after it becomes bigger? I have worked hard for decades, but in the end, I have achieved nothing? Besides, Zheng Shiliang's matter is also true, and there is no nonsense.

The news of the tenth town was soon transmitted back to Lu Chu by the scouts, and the barracks were scattered, drunk, and disorderly, and such an army went up to give him the truth. Holding the information, Lu Chu managed to hold back, the three divisions are all recruits, and chaotic field battles are likely to cause unnecessary losses, and he doesn't care, but the chief has long told the soldier's life to be the most important, and it is not easy to train a qualified soldier.

After waiting all night, having breakfast, and ordering people to strengthen the position, inspect the logistics supply and ammunition transportation, the time has reached ten o'clock in the morning, and the tenth town has still not been seen. News continued to reach Lu Chu through the scouts, and the tenth town had already set off at half past eight in the morning, and the tenth town was still thirty miles away from here at nine o'clock in the morning, and eighteen miles away from here at ten o'clock in the morning.

"Send electricity to the second and third brigades, let them go, arrive at their respective positions according to the established plan, and then report back to me." When the tenth town was still ten miles away, Lu Chu ordered, then grabbed his helmet and put it on, checked the pistol, and straightened his military uniform, got out of the tent of the headquarters, and walked towards the front line of the position.

"Division commander, I only arranged one brigade and one regiment for the front-line position, and the second and third regiments were used as reserves and counterattack forces. The current 30 infantry guns of our division are also all set up behind the position, and they are ready for artillery bombardment. In addition, each squad fought with machine guns as the core, and the heavy machine gun positions were reinforced to withstand frontal attacks from small-caliber artillery. The ammunition is all in place, and now it's up to these recruits to make a difference. The commander of the first brigade was lying on the position, and he didn't get up when he saw Lu Chu coming, so Lu Chu also leaned up, holding a telescope and listening to the brigade commander's report. It is best not to salute and other acts of leaking military ranks on the battlefield, although the army of this era does not have special snipers, but good habits are developed from now on, so Lu Chu's military uniform is no different from that of ordinary soldiers, if you don't look at the epaulettes, you must think that he is a squad leader or something.

"Afraid of a ball, bullets and cannonballs will give them courage, and when they see how easy it is to kill a person and how easy it is to be hit by a bullet, the recruit will become a veteran. However, it must be reiterated again about battlefield discipline, it doesn't matter if recruits are afraid of death, it doesn't matter if you are nervous, but if you retreat as a deserter without authorization, or if you don't fire a single shot, you can enforce battlefield discipline on the spot! Lu Chu said categorically, war is not child's play, since you have chosen the path of being a soldier, you must obey orders, the army allows you to be afraid of death, you are allowed to be cowardly, bullets and blood will make you mature.

The worries of Lu Chu and the others were not groundless, to be precise, the recruits of the Third Division were no different from the recruits of the Tenth Town a few months ago, except that they had received stricter training and were more obedient, but they still did not get rid of their farmer nature. Especially after the tenth town appeared in the sight of the position, Lu Chu could clearly feel the nervousness of a recruit beside him.

"Boy, what's your name?" Lu Chu suddenly felt a little interested.

"Report, report to the chief, my name is Xu Mumu, a corporal of the third squad of the seventh company of the first brigade and one regiment of the third division." The teacher's question made Sun Sheng even more nervous, and he forgot everything about the drill, and said intermittently after standing up and saluting.

Lu Chu smiled, did not comment on Sun Sheng's behavior, nodded to him, and then said: "Give me your rifle, Lao Tzu will teach you what to do when facing the enemy!" ”

Pull open the bolt and check, Sun Sheng's rifle is well maintained, and the bullets in the magazine are full. He didn't care about the brigade commander's request to let him return to the headquarters, he just stared at the enemy in front of the position, he was the division commander, and the real battle only needed the brigade commander's command.

"Corporal Sun Sheng, let me tell you a secret, division commander, I am also a new recruit on the battlefield!" Smiling at Sun Sheng, at this time, the tenth town had been reorganized for more than eight hours, and finally began to attack, and the enemy in front of the position rushed towards this side in a chaotic manner, there were quite a few people, about a thousand people, and the speed of the charge was also very fast, but after entering two hundred meters, the speed slowed down significantly-too unprofessional!

"Smack!" The brigade commander gave the order to open fire, Lu Chu fired the first shot, Sun Sheng's eyes widened, and an enemy fell to the ground, followed by a series of shots. Lu Chu quickly fired two shots, hitting an enemy again, then handed the gun to Sun Sheng, and said with a smile: "Corporal, don't lose to me in this battle!" ”
