Beicang, Seymour has received a retreat order from Wattsea from Tianjin City, which says that Tonghaitun River, Balitai, Zizhulin Concession, Laolongtou Railway Station and other places have been captured by the Dragon and Tiger Army, and the Dragon and Tiger Army is attacking Tianjin City.

After reading the order, Seymour was completely aware of the severity of the situation, and he hurriedly summoned Yamaguchi Suchen and Turgrev and said to the two: "General Wadsey has sent an order from Tianjin, asking us to abandon the Beicang defense line and withdraw to Tianjin City. ”

"What? How is this possible? Yamaguchi Suchen was shocked and said, "We have just suppressed the attack of the [***] team, from yesterday to today, because we were shocked by our artillery fire, the [***] team did not dare to attack once, and now that we are retreating, won't we give up the North Warehouse to the Chinese?" ”

"Yes, are we going to let the blood of thousands of soldiers shed in vain in Beicang?" Turgrev was also unwilling for a while, he finally held the Beicang defensive line, and now he is actually going to retreat again, how can he be willing?

"The reason why the [***] team didn't attack all day was not because they were afraid, but because their main force was not in Beicang at all." Seymour said expressionlessly.

"And where are their main forces?" Turgrev and Yamaguchi Suchen glanced at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"See for yourselves." Seymour handed over the order to retreat.

After quickly reading the content of the order, Yamaguchi Suchen and Turgrev were suddenly struck by lightning.

Half-loud, Yamaguchi Suchen couldn't help but scolded angrily: "Damn Chinese pigs, cunning Chinese pigs, one day I ......"

"Stop your useless insults." Seymour interrupted Yamaguchi's words, what he despised the most was his own low-quality behavior, he was defeated, he didn't reflect on himself, but went to insult his opponent, and with such a person, he felt that it was an insult, an insult to a soldier.

Although Turgrev also wanted to scold the [***] team for being cunning, he still stopped the anger in his chest and asked, "General Seymour, what should we do now?" ”

"Do as ordered, retreat!" Seymour gritted his teeth.

"So what if the [***] team takes the opportunity to attack us from behind? We still have a large number of military funds in Beicang, and it is more than 40 miles from Beicang to Tianjin, and we are very likely to be caught up by the Chinese team. "Turgrev was extremely worried.

Seymour thought for a while and did not speak, and Yamaguchi suggested: "I suggest that we can hit most of the shells on the Chinese's positions, so that we can not only reduce the supplies transported, but also make the Chinese dare not act rashly." ”

Turgrev nodded: "I agree." ”

Seymour shook his head and said: "Now that Tianjin City has been surrounded, our retreat has been blocked, and the main force of the Chinese [***] team is no longer on the position of the Chinese [***] team outside Beicang, we can't waste shells, we have to leave more shells to guard Tianjin City!" Therefore, I intend to withdraw my troops later, transport the heavy artillery first, and wait until the artillery is halfway to the distance, and then our soldiers will set off, so that our soldiers and artillery can rush to Tianjin City at the same time, without worrying about being pursued by the [***] team. ”

Yamaguchi Suchen and Turgrev both nodded secretly when they heard this, this was undoubtedly the best way, and neither of them had any objections.

The plan and course of action for withdrawing to Tianjin were decided, and half an hour later, the allied Beicang artillery position launched a final round of artillery bombardment on the position of the Huwei Division.

The former enemy headquarters of the Huwei Division, Chief of Staff Lin Zhengnan and Division Commander Qin Xiao personally sat in the town, listening to the hurried and messy artillery sound in the roar, most of the shells did not hit the defensive position of the Huwei Division, Lin Zhengnan immediately realized that something was wrong.

After some observation, Lin Zhengnan immediately judged that the coalition forces were preparing to flee, and he immediately said to Qin Xiao: "Old Qin, the enemy's artillery is not right, the accurate head is far less than the previous shelling, it stands to reason that after several actual combat corrections, the accurate head will only become more and more accurate, which is very unreasonable." ”

Qin Xiao heard the meaning of Lin Zhengnan's words, and said with a grim gaze: "Does the chief of staff mean that the foreigners want to run?" ”

Lin Zhengnan nodded and said, "If my guess is right, it should be like this, it is likely that the foreigners' defense line of the Tonghaitun River has been broken by the commander." ”

Qin Xiao asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Lin Zhengnan thought for a while and said, "I think the commander should come with news soon, and you let the soldiers be ready to pursue the foreign soldiers at any time." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Qin Xiao nodded, and immediately called the adjutant and asked him to go to the various combat regiments to convey his orders.

Within a few minutes, the guards walked into the command post with two soldiers who had given orders, and the two brought the good news that Wang Jundao had led the army to break through the Tonghaitun River, Zizhulin Concession, and Laolongtou Railway Station, as well as the intelligence that Balitai had also been broken by the Dragon and Tiger Army, and of course, the next stage of the battle plan.

In joy, Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The commander is the commander, in less than two days, Tianjin City has been completely surrounded, and it seems that it will not be long before we defeat the foreign soldiers." ”

"Yes, the foreign soldiers are now grasshoppers after the autumn, and they won't be able to jump for a few days." Lin Zhengnan nodded and said with a smile: "The commander asked us to cooperate with the cavalry to completely eat the foreign soldiers of the Beicang defense line, and we will discuss the specific operational deployment in the future." ”

"Good!"

Two hours later, as Lin Zhengnan expected, the coalition forces abandoned the position of the Beicang defense line and ran clean, in order to prevent the pursuit of the Huwei division, the coalition army planted nearly a thousand mines on the position of the Beicang defense line.

However, the Huwei Division had already prepared, and under Qin Xiao's order, bypassed the positions of the original coalition forces, quickly passed through the left and right edges of the Beicang defense line, and chased after the coalition forces, leaving only the engineers of the baggage engineering regiment slowly collecting the mines buried in the ground by the coalition forces.

Less than half an hour after the departure of the large force of the Allied Beicang Defense Line, the Allied artillery was already less than 20 miles away from the city of Tianjin, and the commander of the Allied artillery was German Lieutenant Colonel Adenauer, who seemed to have felt the breath of the city of Tianjin close at hand.

At this moment, although Adenauer knew that this was China, not his hometown, he still felt like he was going home.

However, his dream of 'going home' was doomed to be shattered, for the rumbling of horses' hooves sounded like thunder, and the earth shook.

As the sound of horses' hooves drew closer and louder, Adenauer saw countless cavalry cross the hills on the north and south sides of the artillery, like lightning bolts, towards the slowly advancing artillery.

Adenauer was sure that he had never seen so many cavalry charges, all over the mountains, densely packed, according to his estimates, the cavalry on these two sides together had at least more than 10,000 cavalry, and the coalition artillery and escort team he led together were less than 3,000 people, how could they withstand the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry?

In fact, not to mention 3,000 people, even if it is 30,000 people, in the case of insufficient defense, they will be completely crushed by 10,000 horsemen!

In the wilderness, I don't know how many allied artillerymen were already frightened, staring at the approaching cavalry in a daze, even the commander Adenauer.

Then, perhaps sensing that death was imminent, the coalition artillery and escorting cavalry were in a state of confusion, looking for cover and spontaneously raising their guns to shoot at the tiger and leopard cavalry in the north and south.

However, in such a wilderness, under the condescending charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry, less than a kilometer, everything of the coalition forces is in vain, not to mention that they are only holding manual rifles, even if they are holding submachine guns and light machine guns, it is impossible to organize the charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry, not to mention that in these years, except for Wang Jundao's army, no team in the world has submachine guns and light machine guns.

Countless Tiger and Panther warriors who rushed forward evaded the coalition fire by only lying on their horses, and only a few unfortunate ones were shot.

In the chaos, the heavy machine guns of the coalition army did not sound at all, and the vanguard of the tiger and leopard cavalry had already rushed into the coalition army, without barbed wire, no trenches, no stumbling horses in the era of cold weapons, and no thistles...... The coalition positions were suddenly turned into slaughterhouses for the tiger and leopard riders.

In the face of the extremely fast tiger and leopard cavalry, the heavy machine gun loses its effect, and the single-shot manual rifle will never be as good as the cavalry's sharp steel knife!

15,000 tigers and leopards rode against 3,000 coalition soldiers who were like ants in a hot pot, and the outcome of the battlefield can be imagined.

In just half an hour, most of the three thousand coalition troops were killed, most of the coalition troops were still killed by the steel knives of the tiger and leopard after raising their hands to surrender, for no other reason, the foreigners said to surrender, the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry could not understand, and on the battlefield, there was no order from the commander, even if the enemy raised his hand to surrender, he would be killed, this is the idea that Wang Jundao instilled in the Dragon and Tiger Army.

In addition, there is another important reason, that is, Wang Jundao gave the Dragon and Tiger Army the iron purpose: all foreigners who step into the territory of China with weapons will be killed!
