Duan Haixiang was a little deflated, the other party didn't eat soft and hard, and overcame rigidity with softness, this calmness and calmness is not what a young man in his twenties should have, this son will be a big trouble in the future, and he can't stay!

But it's not realistic to kill him on the spot, these bandits are ruthless, it's not good to hurt themselves when they fight, Duan Haixiang snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and Chen Zikun also stood up: "Let's go." ”

The so-called military meeting broke up unhappily, and Chen Zikun and others walked out of the tent to find that there was also tension outside, and the brothers of the pistol battalion and the provincial army were gun-to-gun-to-gun, and fire was about to break out.

Xia Jingqi brought 500 brothers who wanted to hand over the weapons of the pistol battalion, but he was stunned that he didn't stop people, the pistol battalion was Chen Zikun's guard, from the quality of the soldiers to the equipment were top-notch, each of them was a long and short double gun, a box gun with a Berkman portable machine gun or a Browning automatic rifle, a fully automatic firearm of a water, a fire can sweep down a large area, really fighting, let alone dispatching a guard battalion, even a regiment can't get cheap.

Facing the dense muzzle of the provincial army, Chen Zikun was not afraid and took the lead to go out, his golden collar badge and major general's star emblem deterred the soldiers opposite, and he subconsciously gave way to a way.

Xia Jingqi was in a hurry and asked Duan Haixiang: "Division commander, you can't let the tiger return to the mountain, let's fight!" ”

Duan Haixiang said: "Cooked duck, what's the hurry, let it go." ”

The provincial army withdrew from the encirclement, and the 300 brothers of the pistol battalion were loaded with bullets, and withdrew from the camp with their heads held high.

The camp of the 7th Mixed Brigade was divided into three places, the 2nd and 3rd regiments were stationed on both sides, and the independent battalion and the brigade headquarters were stationed on the hill, and they were horns of each other, and the weather was fine during the wheat harvest season, and it would not rain until the soldiers were too lazy to set up tents, and they lay on the ground with tarpaulin, let alone dig drainage ditches and set up fences.

However, there were always soldiers busy on the hill, sweating like rain digging trenches and setting up bunkers.

In the distance, Duan Haixiang used a telescope to observe the camp of the 7th Mixed Brigade, the camp was located on open ground, and it was clear how many people and horses there were.

"A rabble is not enough to worry about." Division Commander Duan contemptuously put down the binoculars and glanced at the Nie Treasury of the Eleventh Regiment beside him, Nie Regiment Commander was red-faced, and snorted: "It's not that they are incompetent, it's that the bandits are too cunning. ”

Duan Haixiang scolded the waste and ignored him again.

Xia Jingqi reported: "Division commander, we have reconnoitred, the seventh mixed brigade is indeed the second regiment and the third regiment, a total of 3,000 soldiers, that bearded man is the famous pole Gai Longquan, that Sven officer is Yan Su, chief of staff under Chen Zikun, and the black iron tower-like man is called Xue Bin, who is Chen Zikun's guard captain. ”

Duan Haixiang said: "Very good, Chen Zikun brought all his generals, this time they can't run away, pass my order, the fourth brigade and the fifth brigade surround the enemy camp, the fifth brigade is retained as a reserve, the first mixed brigade will take over Nantai County, and the second mixed brigade will be responsible for solving the Jiangbei Army's remaining troops outside the county." ”

As soon as the military order was issued, the provincial army units acted quickly, and the two brigades with a total of 5,000 men and horses sandwiched the 7th mixed brigade in the middle, and the other two elite mixed brigades rushed to Nantai County, 40 miles away, in the starry night.

The battle started in the early morning of the next day, and Duan Haixiang originally wanted to attack at night, but the provincial army had poor food, and many soldiers suffered from night blindness, so they could not fight at night, so they had to wait for the daytime to start fighting.

The battle was unusually easy, and after a burst of guns, a white flag was raised over the camp of the 7th Mixed Brigade, and they surrendered without even firing their guns.

The provincial commander drove straight in and captured more than 2,000 people, Duan Haixiang was overjoyed, and laughed and said: "I thought Chen Zikun was so powerful, it turned out that with this ability, I brought him here for personal interrogation." ”

The subordinate said: "Report to the division commander, Chen Zikun has not been caught yet, and there is one camp left that has not been taken." ”

Duan Haixiang said: "Let the eleventh regiment go up, it's time for Nie Jinku to take revenge." ”

With the support of the division commander, Nie Jinku was emboldened, and personally led more than 500 men and horses of the 11th Regiment to charge towards the last position with a roar.

On the hill, the pistol battalion was in full swing, they were not busy yesterday, digging extremely deep trenches and bunkers, heavy machine guns were on standby, and Chen Zikun personally stood in the trench with a big-eyed masturbation to command the battle.

"Wait, wait, get closer and fight." He held a telescope and looked at the murderous provincial army on the opposite side.

The more the provincial army moved forward, the more they felt that something was wrong, it was too quiet, and the silence made people tremble.

Suddenly, an angry shout: "Hit! Three heavy machine guns, two hundred Berkmans, thirty Brownings, and seventy rifles formed an impenetrable network of fire, like the scythe of death harvesting life, and the brothers of the 11th Regiment instantly turned into fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and the dozen or so people who rushed to the front were even beaten into sieves.

The attacking troops were immediately disabled, Nie Jinku and the others were so pressed by the powerful firepower that they couldn't raise their heads, and a few young soldiers even cried in fright, in fact, they couldn't complain about them, not to mention ordinary soldiers with such powerful firepower, even the division commander Duan Haixiang had never seen it.

Duan Haixiang, who was watching the battle from a distance, was so shocked that the telescope almost got out of his hands, he had been in the army for so many years, and he had never encountered such a difficult position.

"Retreat, give Lao Tzu a retreat." Duan Haixiang said in pain, Xiaoshan was covered with corpses and wounded in an instant, and the 11th Regiment was disabled almost in a minute, this kind of casualty was unbearable.

Nie Jinku was so frightened that he urinated, fled back with the remaining soldiers, and cried at Duan Haixiang's feet: "Division commander, your old man wants to avenge the brothers, the surname Chen is too ruthless, and he uses a machine gun to attack people." ”

Duan Haixiang gritted his teeth: "Useless things." He kicked him away and asked, "Who's up?" ”

The brigade commanders and regiment commanders of the second division looked at each other, no one took over, everyone was not stupid, with this kind of firepower density, the iron-beaten King Kong would be a death if he went up.

Xia Jingqi said: "Division commander, we have artillery." ”

Duan Haixiang woke up like a dream and patted his head: "That's right, bombard them with cannons." ”

The second division has an artillery regiment, equipped with 12 Grusen 57 mountain guns, the firepower is absolutely not said, but the problem is again, the quality of the artillerymen is too poor, they can only shoot at direct sight, let them fire across the mountain, and the shells are estimated to fly to Java.

There was no choice but to let the artillery regiment shoot at close range, and the twelve guns were pulled by pack horses to a safe distance of one thousand meters from the enemy position, and the artillerymen took great care to aim, load, and open fire, and the shells exploded in the distance of the hill, and not even a single hair was hurt.

Re-align the muzzle of the gun, continue to shoot, this time the shot was on time, the shells fell on the front of the enemy formation, but the enemy was not idle, there was a loud noise on the mountain, and the same five-seven-millimeter shells whistled, although they did not hurt anyone, but they scared the men of the artillery regiment enough.

Artillery is a technical unit, heavy firepower troops, Duan Haixiang's baby bump, one shell is combined into five oceans, and it is reluctant to use it at a critical moment, Duan Haixiang is afraid that the artillery will be damaged, so he urgently ordered the artillery regiment to retreat.

"Surround me, I don't believe I can't cure you!" Duan Haixiang is still full of confidence, although the opponent's firepower is strong, but he is surrounded by one shot, one shot is missing, trapping him for a day or two, even drinking water is a problem, and it will be up to him to see what he will do when the time comes.

……

At the same time, Nantai County ushered in a group of uninvited guests, from the provincial capital of the anti-smoking committee law enforcement team, made a special trip to ban the opium poppies planted in Nantai County, the county magistrate Liu Youjin received them, opened a private room in the drunken immortal residence, delicious food and drink waiting, never mentioned the matter of poppy fields.

The leader of the law enforcement team was a middle-aged man, and after he was full of wine and food, he said to the county magistrate Liu: "There are people in your county who grow opium privately, the evidence is conclusive, Sun Dujun ordered me to come, we must handle this matter strictly, investigate it to the end, and never tolerate it." ”

Liu Youjin smiled and said, "My lord, there are indeed no poppy fields in our county. As he spoke, he offered an opium smoking gun.

The team leader took the cigarette gun, and Mei Zizi took a puff and said: "The county magistrate should not cover it up, I see that you know each other, and I kindly advise you, don't get involved in this matter, you can't resist." ”

Liu Youjin's face changed and said: "Bold fanatics, pretending to be the governor from the province, what crime should I be, come here, get it for me!" ”

A group of group members swarmed in and tied up all the members of the law enforcement team, and the team leader said angrily: "Liu Youjin, you are so bold, you don't know that you are dying." ”

Liu Youjin sneered and left directly, at this time the four gates of Nantai County were closed, heavily guarded, and on the reinforced city wall, a soldier stood behind each battlement, next to the bullet box and grenade box, the American-made M1917 water-cooled heavy machine gun had been hung with a bullet chain, and the machine gunner also entered the position.

Yan Su, the chief of staff who was supposed to appear in the exercise area, was observing the distance with a telescope in his hand, and when he saw County Magistrate Liu coming up, he smiled and said, "The county magistrate has come to supervise the battle." ”

Liu Youjin said: "Let me see if the brothers have anything to need, wheat porridge and egg steamed buns have been prepared." ”

Yan Su said: "Thank you county magistrate, please tell the villagers that the city is solid and absolutely fine." ”

As he was talking, smoke and dust rose in the distance, Yan Su picked up the binoculars and looked at them for a while and said, "They're here." ”

The first mixed brigade went straight to the county seat, and the second mixed brigade rushed to the barracks outside the city.

The 2nd Mixed Brigade fired a burst of gunfire and rushed into the empty barracks, the soldiers were dumbfounded, they were caught in the empty city plan, and the brigade commander was afraid of deception, and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The first mixed brigade rushed to the city, and was hit head-on, the firepower on the city was amazing, the machine guns were fired in a very orderly manner, and the rifles were unhurried.

The mixed brigade was not equipped with artillery, and even the ladder was not prepared, and it was completely powerless to attack the city with flesh and blood.

Suddenly, a cannon sounded, and a group of cavalry came out of the green gauze tent, wearing a big hat, dancing a steel knife in hand, the blade was bright, and the red silk on the handle of the knife was like a ball of fire rapidly rolling closer, and the riders screamed and whistled, and rushed over with the smoke and dust of the eighteenth road.

The two mixed brigades of the provincial army were crowded in the open space outside the county seat, and they didn't even pull up the defense line, how could they resist the cavalry troops attacking at high speed, and suddenly collapsed and scattered, the cavalry brandished steel knives and rushed left and right, cutting off their heads like chopping vegetables, and a bearded man shouted: "Those who surrender will not die!" ”

Immediately, the defeated soldiers who knelt on the ground raised their rifles and surrendered.

Gai Longquan, who was supposed to participate in the exercise with Chen Zikun, laughed: "Damn, this gang of waste in the provincial army, I really can't help fighting, and Lao Tzu has not enjoyed it." ”
