Chapter 236: The Situation of Each Other

"The Manchu governor of Shaanxi and Gansu personally led 300,000 Qing troops to the south to counterattack Xi'an, and the Qing army of Longzhou, Binzhou, Changwu, and Xunyi of the two roads was linked...... The Sixth Division of the Guangfu Army, surrounded by 300,000 Qing troops and regiments in the eighteen-mile shop of Qianling in the north of Qianzhou City, the fierce city only made the land of Sanqin earthquake, Xi'an crisis! Northwest Crisis! ”

This may be the first bad news after the Liberation Campaign, the telegram sent from Shaanxi was transmitted to the north and south of the river through the telegraph line, and for a while, the whole country paid attention to the land of Qianling.

In the courtyard of a ruined temple in the eighteen-mile shop, several soldiers with pedal-operated generators were generating electricity at an unhurried speed, and in the courtyard were pulling a few wires, which were transmitter antennas, and the black lacquered lines scattered on the ground converged in the temple from all directions, which was the division headquarters of the Sixth Division.

In the sparse sound of gunfire, Tang Licai's face did not see the tense look of the "crisis" in the outside newspapers.

"300,000 people, how many guns are there in Gansu Province?"

Tang Licai, who seemed to be talking to himself, said softly.

"Hmmm! At the beginning, we seized almost 4,000 guns in Shouzhou, and there were 16 guns, and I estimate that even if they were allowed to scrape the arsenals in Gansu and Qinghai to the bottom, at least 60,000 to 70,000 guns would be turned out, and at most more than 100 guns, of which maybe how many were the guns of the grandfathers left by Zuo Shuai during the westward expedition! ”

"Sir, the Gan army is not to be afraid, the only thing to be afraid of is the 50,000 Ma family horse team, when Zuo Shuai conquered the west, Mo Nigou lost tens of thousands of soldiers in the first battle, Ma Jiama captain Yu Ben attacked, good at cutting the waist and cutting the tail, the top soldiers were all annihilated, all because the sentry soldiers were captured and killed by the Ma family horse team, and the torture was judged out of the banner, so ......"

"That's why I'm going to surround them here, so I'm going to fight a beautiful defensive battle!"

Tang Licai looked up at Mo Zhongqiu and said with a smile.

"On the surface, we are surrounded, but that Shengyun is just a literati, he only knows that the thief captures the king first, and our sixth division in the entire northwest is considered a king, and the horse captain is in the field, if he refuses to defend the city, maybe this hard bone will not come down, he fled first, and the foot and horse will be defeated, but it was the old imperial calendar decades ago, when the horse team of Monk Lin Geqin did not see what could be done to the British and French army, as for this time......

Sneering, Tang Li stared at the map, his face was full of sneers, the whole of China thought that the Sixth Division was trapped here, but in fact, the main force of the Sixth Division was not in the eighteenth mile shop at all, since Shengyun wanted to play, it was the same as his casino. With 20,000 people, bet on the 300,000 people who were promoted.

"Hey! The old stuff from decades ago is still holding on! ”

Looking at the earthen fortress built by the Hui army horse team in the distance from the distance according to the experience of the Hunan army in building an earthen fortress when the Hunan army met the wilderness, Wang Renjie thought in his heart, and seemed to shake his head helplessly and scorned, that kind of earthen fortress is just a matter of a cannon.

Wang Renjie only used one regiment for eighteen miles, and the other two regiments were transferred away by the division, and the strength of one regiment defended the position of one division, and the strength was obviously insufficient, so Wang Renjie was ingenious and pulled out the two battalions and built a firepower base with a platoon as a unit, each company constituted three main firepower points, and each main firepower point was divided into four squad firepower points, and the three infantry squads were each organized into a fire network with light machine guns, and a heavy machine gun squad and a 60 artillery squad formed the center of the fire network of the platoon fire points. The company headquarters controlled an 82 gun squad to form a fire support point. Each of the main firing points was located on the side of the previous stronghold, which was opened for one kilometer, and the firing boundary between the strongholds was cleared without dead ends, and the stronghold was densely replaced with trigger fuse grenades and deer barricades made from treetops.

In this way, the two battalions were spread out on the wasteland of Eighteen Lipu, and at the beginning, Mo Zhonggang was startled when he saw the formation of this position, and asked Wang Renjie if he had read the infantry teaching model, and Wang Renjie just smiled and said.

"Chief of Staff, I am also a classmate of Whampoa, I have entered the staff class, although I have never fought a big battle, but I am not an old man who does not learn and has no skills, and I have entered the top three in school when I deduce it on the picture. If you think about it, I will set up the stronghold, but make up for the lack of distance with firepower, transfer the heavy machine gun to the platoon stronghold, and the 82nd artillery to the company stronghold, forming a fine fire network, the firepower and training of the Qing army are not as good as mine, and only the sea of people can make up for it, which can just be offset by these firepower points. Our regimental headquarters controlled a battalion of our regiment, and then used two battalions of the Xinghan Army, the regimental mountain artillery company, and the 24 88 mountain artillery guns of the divisional field artillery battalion. Even if the firing point is isolated, the small squad will not hurt to cut off their fingers, and holding the stronghold can form a flank attack threat in the rear of the Qing army. I made a three-layer circular position, and if the firepower of the front-line infantry could not be defeated, they would retreat to the second line, and if they could not hold it, they would retreat to the core position of the command post, and kill and wound the Qing army with firepower along the way. If I deploy defensive positions according to the infantry teachings, my regiment will not have enough for them to eat, and once it is broken through by the Qing army's horse team, it will not be saved, so it is better to try my trick. ”

Mo Zhongqiu listened, and secretly thought that what this third-term junior said was not unreasonable, so he stopped arguing. So he said to Tang Licai with a smile.

"Shizuo often says that although we have not been tested in battle, we cannot be confined to the tactical situation, we must be able to adapt measures to the times, adapt measures to local conditions, and make full use of what we have learned.

Tang Licai nodded in agreement.

"Captain Wang, your idea is very good, but pay attention to disguise. It is best to change the pillbox to a grave shape, which can be hidden, and wait for the enemy to approach within 500 meters before opening fire, exerting shock power, if each platoon has to plan a cover position when retreating to the core position, and fight and go. When leaving, you should arrange a ...... of trickery in the bunker".

The words of the division commander were still in his ears, and the Qing army touched it at this time. After the fall, the Qing army tentatively attacked the stronghold of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion in the southeast corner with small forces. The officers and men of the company did not shoot steadily, and the Qing army did not know the truth and reality, so they could only fire a burst of guns indiscriminately and test them with their rangers.

"Looks like it's been a long night today!"

While Wang Renjie was thinking about it, he looked at the red sunset in the west, and the sun was setting.

"Report to the commander, the enemy appeared in the defensive position of the first battalion in the southeast and there was an abnormal movement, and according to reconnaissance, the enemy cavalry also moved!"

"Tell the commander of the first battalion to fight hard, if his position is broken, let him use the soul of a soldier to become a benevolent!"

The sound was not loud, but it was cold to the bone.

After receiving the order from the regiment, Tang Lei, who put down the phone, didn't say anything, just pressed his hand on his waist with the "soldier's soul", which was Huangpusheng's patent, and the "soldier's soul" short sword personally awarded by the principal could be described as the glory of an officer in the Guangfu Army, except for Huangpusheng, others were no longer qualified to hold it. From the moment they went to Whampoa, they knew one thing, either they succeeded, or they were benevolent!

"Order down, carry out the battlefield sitting, and those who retreat without authorization will be killed!"

In the Liberation Army, orders have always been one level at a time, and the final orders are issued to each team.

"Those who perform battlefield sittings and retreat without authorization will be killed!"

Repeating the order, Zhao Sheng glanced to the southwest.

"Grandpa, father, if this son is loyal to the country, don't blame the son for being unfilial!"

With a sigh in his heart, Zhao Sheng glanced ahead, in the wheat field after the autumn, there is no better vision than this, and in the wheat field, a small grave with a triangular distribution stands in the field, which is a fortress, and the three small tombs are mutually formed into a horn of the momentum, and the small graves are surrounded by iron wires, and the treetops are used as obstacles at intervals scattered across three hundred meters.

"Brothers, you have to fight!"

Taking a deep breath, in the narrow bunker with the smell of earthy fish, the senior soldier with a bearded face held the submachine gun in his hand and looked out, and the Qing army lined up in the distance was pressing towards him, looking at them, the senior soldier suppressed the joy in his heart, and said lightly.

"Brothers, don't fire less than four hundred, aim and fight!"

"Hu Shangbing, just look at it!"

The soldiers in the liaison trench outside the bunker laughed and shouted, without any nervousness on their faces, they knew what kind of enemy they were up against, and they rushed towards the enemy like a rally in front of them, only squeezing a smile on their faces.

Lu Hongtao irritably threw the monoculars to the guards beside him, and from a distance, there were old graves everywhere in this field, but he knew what this old grave was, it was the pillbox of the Guangfu Army. The attack team of his Left Wing Army was marching towards the southeastern defense line of the Liberation Army.

The first wave is nearly 2,000 newly recruited soldiers, they are only equipped with the front-loading foreign guns and broadswords that Zuo Shuai will use, and the second wave is 500 returning infantry, most of these returning infantry are carrying the Hezhou long knife, these troops without much training, this will be like rushing to the market, these people were originally sent to death, even if they send an elite horse team, there is no way to deal with such a dense bunker group, unless they use cannons one by one, but with those wrought iron explosive cannons left by Zuo Shuai back then...... Shaking his head helplessly, he could only pray in his heart that Ma Anliang's method could be used.

Riding on his horse, he glanced to the rear, and he knew that there were ten battalions of cavalry neatly assembled in the grass, ready to go. More than 4,000 horsemen overlapped there, just waiting for their side to use their heads to attract the firepower of the Liberation Army and create a breakthrough opportunity for the cavalry, Shengyun will not fight, but Ma Anliang does have a set of battles, although he has not fought with the Liberation Army before, but after several encounters and ambushes, he understands the strengths of the other party and his own shortcomings, "If you want to gnaw off this hard bone, it's difficult!" ”

Lu Hongtao thought, but there was no expression on his face, he knew that this was the world of the elite army now. One carelessly, maybe let those who don't eat pork chop and don't know what's going on, at this moment, the sound of gunfire echoed in the wilderness, aiming, shooting, pulling the bolt...... The soldiers in the liaison trench were just like when they were shooting targets on the training ground, shooting easily or without any interference, and occasionally sparse shells fell, blowing up a seemingly large cloud of smoke and dust, but there were not many fragments, perhaps because of the black powder shells, so the explosion was not very powerful.

Just more than 100 meters, the first wave of the charge of the enemy army was knocked down hundreds of people, 60 small shells fell beside them from time to time, flying fragments harvested life, the field will be completely shrouded in screams, after the death of more than 100 people, there are still 300 meters away from the position of the Liberation Army, the original scattered team, immediately dispersed, but the retreating enemy army just retreated more than 100 meters, was pressed back by the infantry team behind waving most of the long knives.

"That's not right!"

The scene in front of him only made Tang Lei frown, this battle was a bit evil.

"Sixth, look at this,...... It seems a little quirky...... ”

"Unless you're here to die, you won't be beaten like this!"

Shao Wu, known as the sixth oldest, was the sixth in the family, although at the beginning, he sensed that something seemed to be wrong here.

"Call the regiment and tell the regiment commander about the situation here!"

After a while, Shao Wu put down the phone.

"The regiment commander asked us to draw two platoons to enrich the position of the first battalion, and there is an abnormal movement on the side of the first battalion,"

Although the Sixth Division was only formed two and a half months ago, and from its formation to the present, the training time has not been as long as walking on the road, but under the strict requirements of the officers and commanders at all levels, it has developed good military discipline in shooting, but it has constantly repeated the actions on the training ground, pulling the bolt of the gun in an orderly manner, aiming, and shooting, and it seems that everything is exactly like that on the training ground.

Under the threat of the big knife of the infantry team carrying the long knife, although it was chaotic, the group of Qing soldiers still ran forward, and at the same time continued to make earth-shattering shouts of killing. At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the black figure quickly approached about 100 meters in front of the bunker, and when it almost overlapped, the machine gunners and submachine gunners in the bunker opened fire violently, and the fire snakes drawn by tracer bullets in the air in the dark night flew around, and they saw very clearly, each firing point drew a 180-degree fan shape of different sizes but staggered, and the killing sound all over the mountains and fields instantly pained and terrifying wails. But the crowd is still like a dark cloud towards the position of the Guangfu Army, the soldiers who were originally shooting in the liaison trench have taken refuge in the earthen fortress, the earthen barrier is not thick, but for these Qing troops with cold weapons in their hands, this earthen fortress is as solid as the steel plate of a battleship, at this moment, the twenty-four 88 mountain cannons of the eighteen-mile shop roared, and at the same time, the two battalions of swordsmen of the Xinghan Army in the shop fiercely waved their long and short guns and broadswords to the Qing army, and the crowd of black pressure finally dispersed, and the officers and soldiers of the Guangfu Army continued to carry forward their firepower, The sounds of mortars and light and heavy machine guns mingle into a singular concerto.

On the war horse, Ma Anliang looked at the retreating army, and turned back to Ma Yanfu, who was busy commanding, and said a word.

"The firepower of this Guangfu army is stronger than that of foreign devils, tell Lu Hongtao to let him focus on 3,000 people, and the infantry team will press the formation in the rear, and wait for it to attack again after dark, so that the left wing battalion cavalry can make the movement bigger in the west."

The Art of War: Sound the East Strikes the West, those Han people are all dead reading, reading dead books, is it possible that when the sound of the East is not enough, they can't sound the West and attack the West? Thinking to himself, looking at the screaming ahead from the telescope, Ma Anliang's face was full of sneers, and he couldn't see today!
