There was a dead silence all around, Han Duotian pulled the knife in his hand out of the chest of a soldier from the sixth town, although the soldier wanted to cover his chest with both hands, but he still couldn't stop the blood gushing out, he didn't even have the strength to stand anymore, he stumbled and knelt down, his head was still raised to look at Han Duotian in front of him, and his eyes showed disbelief.

The strength passed away with the loss of blood, and when his blood stained the ground below him, he couldn't even maintain this half-kneeling posture, and it was difficult to open his eyelids anymore, and at this time, Han Duotian in his eyes had already turned around, shouting loudly while waving his saber to kill another of his comrades.

However, he could no longer see the next situation, he closed his eyes, his body gradually fell to the ground, and the originally cold earth seemed to become warm, which was the temperature of his blood.

On the other side, Han Duotian was already shouting loudly again and killing another enemy, Han Duotian was like a fierce general in ancient times, trotting over and slashing at an enemy who was fighting with one of his subordinates, although this knife failed to hit the vital point, but after this knife slashed the arm of the enemy soldier, Han Duotian's subordinate also saw the opportunity to immediately stab with a gun, and a shot was stabbed into the man's chest.

As soon as he pulled the muzzle bayonet out of the enemy's chest, he saw an enemy soldier raise his bayonet from behind Han Duotian: "Be careful! ”

Being reminded like this, Han Duotian's body was slightly on one side, and the bayonet was directly penetrated through the edge of his abdomen, although he was not stabbed, but Han Duotian, who was still in pain, couldn't help but let out a scream, but the scream was screaming, he was injured and used all his strength, waved the long knife in his hand and slashed back, and then looked back, the enemy soldier who attacked from behind was already covering his neck and fell to the ground.

At this time, Han Duotian's military uniform was also stained with blood, there were enemies, and more of them were himself.

The passage of blood, Fang Cai's all-out fight had exhausted his last strength, he panted and tried to stand, but a stumbling step made him almost fall, at this time he stuck the knife into the ground, relying on the strength of the blade support, he did not fall, he could only kneel on one foot.

Half-kneeling, he wanted to stand up, but found that he couldn't stand up slowly, and could only look ahead while panting, and in front of his eyes, hundreds of enemy and enemy soldiers were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, and almost every breath someone was hit and fell, and the hand-to-hand combat between the infantry with bayonets was the most cruel and most testing the combat effectiveness of the troops in contemporary warfare.

The hand-to-hand combat between the two sides lasted less than three minutes, but the ground was already covered with corpses!

When Han Duotian began to blur, he saw that the enemy's troops seemed to be scattered, and the remaining seventy or so of the nearly 100 enemy soldiers who rushed up began to run backwards, even the guns in their hands were directly on the ground, regardless of the strafing of the machine gun bullets in the rear.

Before Han Duotian closed his eyes, he knew that this battle, they had won!

Half an hour later, in Xi Hezhi's battalion headquarters, Xi Hezhi's expression was constantly changing with the content of the herald's report, when he heard that the enemy launched a bayonet charge with twice the number, even he who had always boasted of being calm and comfortable couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but when he heard Han Duotian personally lead the troops to carry out hand-to-hand combat counter-charge, he could even feel the tension and excitement.

And when he heard that Han Duotian led the troops to finally repel the enemy, but he was also seriously injured and unconscious, Xi Hezhi's face was joyful on the one hand, and worried on the other!

"Lao Han's bravery, that has nothing to say!" A military academy next to him said this, the reason why he said this was not only because he admired Han Duotian for fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy with a small number of troops, but also agreed, and the main factor was because Xi Hezhi knew it.

Although Han Duotian's military rank and status are not high, many people also know that this person is Xi Hezhi's old subordinate, and after such a battle, if Han Duotian's life is big enough to survive, then it is almost certain that he will be promoted to another level, so that Han Duotian will be able to become a regular military academy and serve as a team officer, and he will be the company commander with the rank of captain in later generations.

Don't look at the fact that there are so many officers, and they are all colonels, generals, and the like, but in real life, a captain and company commander is already very weighty, and in contemporary China and even for many years in the future, this level is the end of the life of most officers from crash courses.

Without outstanding military merit and qualifications, the vast majority of officers are unable to cross the rank of captain and thus become a major.

Xi Hezhi was also a little worried about Han Duotian in his heart, and immediately asked the herald: "Old Han, how is he now?" ”

The herald said: "Platoon Commander Han has now been sent to the standard department for treatment, and the situation is unknown for the time being!" ”

For example, in this era of low level of treatment, soldiers were injured on the battlefield, and those who died of serious injuries were generally directly supplemented with a bayonet, and if the injuries could still be saved, they were directly treated in the field hospital, and they were immediately sent back to the original unit if they were able to move, and those with minor injuries could only be bandaged casually. On the officer side, it is much better, and if you are injured, you will be immediately sent to the rear hospital for treatment, and if you are lucky enough to survive, you will generally be sent to various sanatoriums for special rehabilitation and recuperation.

Zhao Dongyun still attaches great importance to officers, and in addition to giving priority to the treatment of officers, he also set up an officer sanatorium in Tangshan.

After all, for a modern army, in fact, soldiers are consumable resources, no different from bullets and shells, the core of an army is a large number of qualified officers, as long as these officers are still there, even if all the soldiers in the third town are dead, give Zhao Dongyun three months, he can rely on these officers to pull out a third town again, and the combat effectiveness will not be much worse than the original.

Although Han Duotian was only the lowest-level platoon commander, he was also a deputy military academy, so after being injured and unconscious, he was immediately carried off the front line and sent to the field hospital of the standard department for treatment.

"Now the situation of the salient on the side of the first team is stable, and this attack on the opposite side has lost at least more than fifty people, and I estimate that they will not attack again in a short time! However, although the situation on the salient side of the first team has stabilized, the situation on the side of the second team is still more difficult, and I see that the two machine guns reinforced by the standard department are still deployed to the second team."

A deputy military academy next to him immediately said: "The department has an order, and after the machine gun of the department arrives, the second team will immediately be deployed in front!" ”

Xi Hezhi nodded, and then said to another regular military academy: "Although your first team has repelled an enemy attack, you can't relax, especially on the salient side, Lao Han's platoon has already lost more than half, if you change the platoon, this salient must not be lost!" ”

"The department understands!" The same young military academy said.

When Xi Hezhi arranged detailed tactics in front, in fact, the fighting on the entire front had not stopped, and the counterattack launched by the Sixth Town this time surrounded the salient of the first team under Xi Hezhi's command, not only affecting the entire second battalion position, but also affecting the first battalion and the third battalion next to it, thus forming a standard-level battle.

And on a small high mountain in the rear, far from the front line, a group of high-ranking generals with shining stars were each holding binoculars to inspect the unexpected battle line for several kilometers, and these people were all Fengtian generals who had just changed into the logo of the new military academy.

According to the new military rank mark of the Fengtian Army, the epaulettes of these senior generals have been replaced with a five-pointed gold star on a yellow background, and the capital level is one gold star to three gold stars in turn, and the participation level is a white stripe on a yellow background, which is still one star to three stars, and the military academy level is two white stripes, which are still one star to three stars.

It can be seen here that Zhao Dongyun only changed the military rank symbol, but the military rank and title have not changed, and the reason is that at present, Wang Duan and Zhao have not officially raised the anti-flag, and the reason for their attack on the Beijing division is not to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish a republic, nor is it to the Qing monarch's side, but to arrest the murderer of Yuan Gong and welcome back the remains of Yuan Gong.

It's just that the list of murderers listed almost covers most of the Manchu Shaozhuang faction, Zaifeng, Zaixun, Tieliang, and Duanfang, all of whom are Manchu heavyweights!

If Cixi really promised Wang, Duan, and Zhao to arrest and kill everyone on the list, it is estimated that this Manchu Qing will have to collapse first without overthrowing itself!

No matter what the actual situation is, at least for now, Wang Duan and Zhao have not officially rebelled, and this war is better said to be a Beiyang civil war if it is a Beiyang rebellion!

Therefore, regardless of whether it is Wang Yingkai or Duan Qirui or Zhao Dongyun, they are all talking about Yuan Gong's will and the survival of Beiyang, so many Beiyang traditions cannot be changed randomly, such as the army's town, association, standard and officer rank system, etc., which are not easy to change.

If it is said that he raised the anti-flag openly, Zhao Dongyun would have changed the name of the army, the rank of the officer, and even the establishment.

However, at present, the military rank and grade of the Fengtian Army remain unchanged, and the ninth rank of the principal and deputy assistant commander, staff leader, and military academy will continue to be used, and some military assistants will continue to be used, such as first-class quartermaster, second-class medical officer, third-class military horse officer, etc.

Even at present, the number of the Fengtian Army continues to use the previous Fengtian Standing Army, and the official number of the Fengjun under Zhao Dongyun is the 'Fengtian Standing Army'.

It is rare for such a large group of high-ranking generals wearing the new ranks of the Mukden Army to appear here, and if you look closely, you can see that the crowd seems to be surrounded by a young man, who is wearing a dark blue high-ranking general-style coat, a gilded saber hanging from his waist, and a white gloved hand holding a telescope.

When he put down the binoculars, then he could clearly see that this person was none other than Zhao Dongyun, who made countless people in the Beijing Division tremble!
