Chapter 812: Textbook Victory (I)

Listen to the brothers in the Anhui army on the other side, everyone eats food and becomes a soldier, and all they want is to pay for military rations and support their families. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone is not close to art, art is not pro-gown, Shandong has been repairing water conservancy in Anhui in recent years, and has done charity in Anhui, saving many people. Maybe there are your parents and brothers. Why should we fight to the death? Duan Zhiquan acted perversely and colluded with Fusang to betray his sovereignty, so why did you give him his life? Now in your team, there are Oriental devils. How can we Chinese help the Oriental devils kill their own people? Let the brothers fight, but do not give the brothers good food and drink, our side, every day, how come you have heard that the food is Taixi's foreign nest head, and there is no water to drink? Is this still a human life? What does it mean to fight such a battle? ”

In front of the position, the Lu army did not greet with artillery, but set up hundreds of horns. The loud voice specially selected in the army, holding a loudspeaker high, shouted loudly to the opposite side.

"How Duan Zhiquan treats those disabled veterans, you all know in your hearts. Chop with a saber and beat with a stick. If you are dead or disabled, who will provide for your family, your wives and children, what will you do? As long as you don't fire at us, the Lu army promises that it will not hurt you, let alone your family. ”

"There's an old brother on the other side who works as a laborer in Tessie, right? Think about it, Duan Zhiquan can even pit your hard-earned money, and exchange public debts for your ocean, what else can't you do? Think about it again, which of those public bonds has been paid in cash? Duan has lost his credit, why are you still fighting for him......"

"Brother Rouran, your hometown is in the grassland, you died in the Central Plains, and your soul cannot return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven. You should think about it...... The border guards dug up the Dongling Zhaoling, King Chaoyong and Shigege were very angry, you don't have to, you will work hard for the Anhui army again! ”

On a small plateau on the side of the battlefield, several men set up binoculars, observing the military formations of the two armies below, and quickly recorded something on paper. It's a hot day, and although there are some trees here, they still can't shade the sun. Several people wiped their sweat with handkerchiefs while recording.

Suddenly, someone noticed something unusual behind them, and the two immediately turned around, only to see a tall foreigner, waving his hand at them.

"Hey, don't be nervous, my friend. Everyone is a peer, and they are all working for their respective countries, and here we observe the fight between China's two military forces. There is no conflict between our tasks, today we are at peace, look, I also brought drinks for everyone. ”

The visitor was talking, and a few bottles of Dutch water were placed on the ground, but no one would take them. It's just that someone said coldly: "Rodley, I remember that you are a reporter of the Lu army." Shouldn't you be on the front lines now? ”

"The work I do now is the same as that of a military reporter, and there is no contradiction between the two. These photos can be given to MI6 or to the Shandong propaganda agency. One job, two salaries, that's life, isn't it? ”

He squeezed over as he spoke, and the others knew that this was half of his home field, so they had to give up a place. Someone snorted

"Your country's funding for Shandong this time is very large. With these drinks alone, your country has made a lot of money. We have agreed to keep the ...... of neutrality."

"Come on, man, we don't take the salary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we can't think about things from their point of view. You see, the artillery of Fuso's friends was pulled directly to the front line, and compared to them, some of our business dealings are not important at all, are they? Besides, after the end of the war, everyone has a lot of weapons and ammunition to deal with, and Shandong can afford to pay for it, which is a very good transaction partner. As for who of them will win the war, who cares? In the past few years, China's army has been trained too strongly, they are killing each other, everyone just needs to watch a good show, and whoever they help is not a bad thing for us. ”

"Are you speaking for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or do you think you're the master of Downing Street?" An intelligence officer, who had never dealt with Rodley, choked and said: "As long as we do our job well and truthfully record the combat level of the Lu army, the rest has nothing to do with us." This kind of public opinion offensive should be launched in advance, and it seems too late to use it now? ”

On the battlefield, the Lu army did not want to take the initiative to attack, but kept using the horn to launch a psychological offensive. In the position of the Lu army, some soldiers turned their heads and said: "Is it okay to shout like this?" Will they take the pill, my brother works in that factory, and if he says that people want to eat that, he will become a fool and can't understand human speech at all. ”

"Even if you eat it, you are not afraid, that thing is not good for people's brains after eating, and if they rush over like mad dogs, they will blow them up with their hands, and no one knows how to hide."

"Nonsense, I'm not afraid, I've even fought the Orientals, and I'm still afraid of the Anhui army? It's just that after the fight is over early, the marshal said, after the battle, take us to the capital to play for a few days, and give us a bonus. My mother wanted to eat snacks from Daoxiang Village, so I just bought some to take home. Come, drink water. ”

Today's sun is as scorching as yesterday, and it is easy for people to sweat when they stand outside in this weather, coupled with the weight of military uniforms and weapons. Each of the Lu troops was equipped with two kettles, which were filled with salt water prepared by the logistics department. There was both salt and sugar in it, and Lu Jun could unscrew the lid at any time and raise his head to drink water. The Anhui army's kettle is only half filled, and some people's kettles only have water at the bottom, and they can see the bottom in three or two bites, and then they can only swallow saliva.

The military uniform on his body has already shown wet marks, and if he drags it down, I am afraid that someone will collapse and fall to the ground. What made Cheng Yunhe even more uncertain was that the Lu army even knew that there were Oriental artillery in his own army, and it seemed that his side was at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence. Is your own attack also within the opponent's plan, and is it a trap for you?

The exertion of physical strength, coupled with the shaking of confidence, has seriously affected morale. The Anhui army also began to talk to each other and talk in a whisper. No matter what they are talking about, it is not a good sign for the military. Even if he couldn't see any flaws in the defense of the Lu army in the telescope, Cheng Yunhe could only order: launch a general attack!

In the melodious sound of military music, the Anhui army began to advance, the Fusang artillery team pulled the fire rope, and the first row of artillery bombardment began.

The sharp whistle of the shrapnel sounded in the air, and Zou Hua, the artillery director of the Lu Army, also put down the binoculars in his hand and shouted: "Ready!" Give them some color! ”

Both sides used a large number of twelve-pounder field howitzers, the most effective field artillery at the moment, as the main weapon, and poured shells on each other, and the two divisions of the Anhui Army each had an artillery regiment, plus the artillery brigade of Fusang, the number of artillery pieces was very considerable. Xu Youzheng took the Fusang artillery as a sacrifice, hoping to use the destruction of the Fusang artillery to let the Fusang people increase their attack on Shandong, so as to reduce their own losses, and at the same time, he also hoped to use the hand of this artillery to kill and injure the Lu army. Therefore, before the war, the artillery regiment of the 15th Division of the Western Route Army was also specially strengthened to the Yunyu Division of the Eastern Route Army, so that the front-line artillery regiment was a full four.

The artillery roared, the smoke of gunpowder rose, and the first drop of blood was shed in the war between the same room.

The position of the Fusang artillery was covered by artillery fire at the first time, and the Lu army still used the artillery intensively with reference to the Battle of Shandong, under the full command of Zou Hua. Under the training and guidance of Zou Hua, the technical and tactical level of the Shandong artillery was particularly superior to that of the Fusang artillery. In terms of quantity, the number of Shandong artillery groups is also more than that of the Anhui army. All artillery was fired only at the Fuso artillery, and this round of shelling was the beginning of a nightmare for the Fuso artillery. After the school firing, there was a large-scale pouring of ammunition, and the Lu army's shrapnel seemed to be endless, and the overwhelming artillery fire was not inferior to the Taixi battlefield.

The intelligence officers of various countries in the observation position looked at their counterparts almost at the same time, and the same question arose in their hearts: Who secretly sold so many shrapnel to the Lu army?

By the time the cannon fire subsided, the Fuso artillery position was already full of severed arms and limbs and bloody corpses. The wounded who were lucky enough not to die, the feeble wails on the position, the remaining soldiers, pressed their heads tightly against the scorching ground, and did not dare to get up. The artillery of a brigade in Fusang was already seriously damaged under the cover of the Lu army's obviously targeted firepower.

There are traitors in your own army! Cheng Yunhe looked at Song Ziyang, who also looked at him, and the two obviously thought of the same problem. The Lu army even has such a clear grasp of its own artillery position, and I am afraid that this battle will be troublesome.

At the same time that the Lu army's firepower covered the Fusang artillery, the artillery of the Anhui army also began to attack, but compared with these two troops, the artillery of the Anhui army was very inconspicuous. Although there were many concentrated cannons, the shooting effect was not good, and some of the shells missed seriously and did not play much role.

Xu Youzheng has been training for two years, and his artillery skills are not inferior, and this round of artillery fire is not up to standard, which can only be explained by the weather and physical reasons. But on the battlefield, it's obviously not a good time to find out. With the artillery fire of the Lu army, the infantry of the Lu army was already trotting forward to the sound of drums, and the soldiers in the front row raised their rifles and detained the bolts at the Anhui army in front of them.

The calculations, worries, and apprehensions that preceded the war gave way to the instinct to fight when killing and death really came. The Anhui troops in the front row also raised their guns in return, causing casualties to each other with projectiles. One Lu infantry rushed straight to the artillery position, while the other Anhui infantry met it and came to the aid of its own robes. It was also at this time that the Anhui artillery completed the second round of loading, and in the commander's bombardment order, the Anhui artillery pulled the gun rope, and the second round of artillery began.

"What's going on?"

"Bastard!"

The two commanders exclaimed almost simultaneously, and the effect of this round of artillery fire was even more bizarre than just now. The artillery regiment of the 15th Division, which was temporarily transferred to the Eastern Route Army, actually hit the heads of friendly troops with shells. The Anhui infantry who came to the aid of the artillery regiment was covered by friendly artillery fire without any defense, and the shrapnel exploded directly on the head, and the commander was killed on the spot, and the casualties of the entire unit amounted to one company.

In a civil war, such casualties can already be considered devastating. The border guards, who lacked experience in bloody battles, were disrupted by the sudden blow, and in the confusion of the ranks, the third round of shelling of the artillery regiment began again, and the target of this attack was still the Anhui army.

"The fifteenth division is backwater! The fifteenth division is reversed! ”

The front line fell into panic again, and the 15th Division was originally the guard division that Feng Yuzhang brought into the capital, and it was originally part of the direct army battle sequence. However, after the unit entered Beijing, Duan Zhiquan took advantage of his position as army chief to adjust the personnel of the division, mixed a large amount of sand, and bribed some officers with money, so that the division gradually fell to the Anhui system.

As soon as Feng Yuzhang died, this division completely became a member of the Anhui army, but most of the grassroots soldiers and officers were recruited and brought to Jiangsu by Feng from Hebei, and Sangzi was still in Hebei. In addition, its military treatment is not as good as that of the official Anhui army, and it is not inconceivable to defect. The reason for the unfavorable firing of the artillery and the exposure of the position of the Fusang Artillery Regiment is also due to this.

As a special force, the artillery is not strong in close combat, and if the infantry performing the defense mission at this time attacks the artillery regiment of the 15th Division, or the other two artillery regiments flank the anti-water artillery regiment, the regiment is likely to fight back again or break up. However, when the border guards train their troops, they have always demanded that the soldiers be loyal to their duties, not make their own decisions, and act in accordance with the orders of the supreme commander in all actions. Middle- and lower-ranking officers are likewise unable to have their own ideas, while senior officers are helpless against such emergencies because they lack experience and can only fight according to the drill rules.

The Tiele military advisors in the team are actually very suspicious of their own abilities. A large number of defeated soldiers who fled from the battlefield of Tiele, and did not study again in the military academy, their quality could not be compared with that of the mercenaries under Ryanstein, and they could not come up with a good solution at this time. Some of the infantrymen who were responsible for the support task retreated under the leadership of Officer Tiele and were in disarray. Some of the two artillery regiments wanted to retreat, some wanted to turn their guns to bombard the anti-water troops, and some wanted to deal with the Lu army first, and the situation was chaotic for a while.

At this time, the infantry of the Lu army had already rushed in front of the Anhui army.

"Kill!" With the hand-left bullets thrown, the bayonet attack of the Lu army has been launched, and the white soldiers of the snow are angry, destroying the thin embankment of the artillery. The artillery of the two regiments retreated in a hurry, and the artillery was captured by the Lu army. The anti-water artillery began to turn around and prepare to turn around and bombard the Anhui army.

Cheng Yunyu's face changed, and he hurriedly ordered: "General reserve, attack, take back the artillery position!" ”

But at the same time as his order was given, the general attack of the Lu army also began. The whole battle did not carry out too many temptations, and after the official decisive battle began, the troops of the three divisions of the Lu army rushed towards the Anhui army in a devastating posture. The 1st Division of the Provincial Army, led by Zhang Huaizhi, exchanged bullets with guns, while the 5th Division, led by Reinstein, launched a flank attack on the Anhui army.

"The skillful and skillful use of the flanking tactics of the Lu army is no longer inferior to the first-rate army of our country, and it is not inferior to the first-rate Prussian troops in the use of corps-level units. In the coming decades, the Chinese army should follow the example of the Lu army......"

After writing down this passage in his notebook, Rodley lost no time in setting up his camera and taking photos of the Lu army's attack to fulfill his duties as a reporter. Intelligence officers from several other countries also exclaimed: "A textbook attack, perfect, very perfect." Look at the neat steps, bright uniforms, hey, are they really Chinese, not mercenary troops? Look at it, the performance of the Anhui army is like China's new army. ”

Since the formation and training of the Anhui Army, it has always regarded the division as the largest combat unit, and it is no exception even when it is in the northwest and Rouran. After all, when they are soft outside, they don't really need to fight, as long as they put their troops away, the other side will give in. Therefore, it is still in accordance with the model of the former gold, temporarily organized into an army in wartime, and trained by divisions in peacetime. Since the Shandong War, the Lu army has set up a military-level structure and conducted training. At this time on the battlefield, the difference between the two training modes is naturally reflected.

Judging from the data on paper, it is three divisions of the Lu Army against two divisions of the Anhui Army. But from a practical point of view, it is actually three divisions fighting one division. The two divisions of the Anhui Army fought separately and could not echo each other. On the contrary, the three divisions of the Lu army cooperated with each other tacitly, like a sharp dagger, cutting and decomposing this Anhui army like a lamb.
