Chapter Fifty-Nine: Is the Use of Soldiers Really Like God? Three

"Brother Chang, spare your life! The younger brother really doesn't want to embarrass the eldest brother, it's all a last resort, a last resort......"

Colonel Li Jinbao, commander of the 55th Regiment of the 13th Division of the Beiyang Army, had not yet been escorted up, and the hoarse shouts came from afar.

Chang Ruiqing was dressed in a straight military uniform at this time, and he was wearing a tweed army coat, with a large brimmed hat pressed low, standing on top of a dirt slope with his hands in his hands, the expression on his face was also tense, and his eyes looked coldly at the bottom of the dirt slope, crowded with a large number of prisoners.

The Battle of Xihongmen lasted only half the night before it ended with the overwhelming victory of the Model Regiment! All 1,000 and dozens of officers and men of the 55th Regiment of the 13th Division were wiped out, except for a very few who escaped the net, including their regiment commander Li Jinbao. This battle is not worth mentioning at all from a tactical point of view, but a group of rookie soldiers who are a little more professional and a little more determined beat up a group of rookie soldiers who are even more unprofessional and have no fighting spirit. And there is not much technical content, but it is to shoot from a distance to lure the opponent to return fire, and after the opponent's bullets are almost consumed, launch a round of white soldier assault, and then it is like a group fight.

However, from a strategic height, it dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of Zhang Xun's restoration group! It strengthened the confidence of the Chinese people in winning repeated struggles, and shattered the myth of the invincibility of the "Qing army...... Uh, is there such a myth? Anyway, that's what was written in the middle school history textbooks of later generations, after all, this was the first time that the "great commander" Chang Ruiqing commanded a battle! How can you do it without a special book? As for the scene of Colonel Li Jinbao being kidnapped and taken to Commander Changda, it often appears in various movies and TV series that reflect the history of the early Republic of China in later generations!

"Brother Chang, little brother should be damned!" As soon as Li Jinbao saw Chang Ruiqing, who was pretending to be majestic and pretending to be the "great commander" there, tears fell, and he crawled under Chang Ruiqing's heels: "Ask Brother Chang to let the younger brother live, in this life and this life, I will never dare to offend the tiger power of the eldest brother again." But begging Brother Chang to release the younger brother, the younger brother gave all the family property to the eldest brother, and the younger brother also gave Brother Chang the immortal tablet at home! ”

Chang Ruiqing glanced at him and smiled slightly bitterly, this guy is too cowardly, right? It doesn't seem like a big deal to defeat him yourself. I don't know if I change to a more powerful one, will I lose the battle?

Thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled gently at the other party: "Commander Li, they are all leading soldiers to fight, why are you crying?" Isn't it just a defeat! Victory and defeat are commonplace, and there is nothing remarkable...... Besides, we are all our own people, and we are all in the same vein as Beiyang, so what do you say about sparing your life or not? If I kill you, how will I see Beiyang colleagues in the future? ”

Saying that, he waved his hand again, and asked Li Jinbao to be tied, and then personally helped up the head of the regiment who was crying like a tearful person, dusted off his clothes, and pointed to the pile of prisoners, and said with a smile: "There are more than 800 brothers here, all of whom have disarmed their brothers' subordinates, and some of them have even hung up colors, which is really embarrassing." ”

"No, no, they all asked for it, don't blame Brother Chang, really don't blame Big Brother." Li Jinbao smiled all over his face, and couldn't help nodding at Chang Ruiqing. He was convinced, the officers and soldiers of those model regiments really dared to see red with bayonets, and rushed up with bright bayonets, and they were also officers who rushed to the front, and as soon as they came up, they played with their lives, and if they surrendered slowly, they would be stabbed! His two horses were loyal to the Lord, and they resisted a little, but they were stabbed into blood gourds! After a few calls, he ran out of breath. It's so pitiful, those are all the sons and nephews of the old Li family! One of them had just married his daughter-in-law......

Chang Ruiqing looked at this wreck, and just smiled: "Commander Li, then you will bring these brothers back first, and more than 200 people who have sent their lives will also bring back the corpses, alas, they are all out to eat the army's meal, you can't just throw the corpses in the wilderness, right?" As for those weapons......"

"I don't need weapons, it's all the eldest brother's, and the younger brother's people can't use that thing, so when I go back, the younger brother will dismiss them......"

Chang Ruiqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not good, that's not good, those guns are worth a lot of silver, how can my brother ask for it?" Besides, the brothers' team is not a pole, they are all the country's army, and if they want to expand, they will also have their own country to provide equipment, and it is useless for your 55th regiment gun brothers to come, but they can't be returned to you now, and when our Republic of China returns, the brothers will send someone to return the weapons. ”

"Righteousness! Brother Chang, you are too righteous! Junior brother let the family enshrine your immortal tablet for generations......" As soon as Li Jinbao heard that the other party was willing to return the weapons and equipment, he was left with gratitude in his heart, and bowed and bowed to Chang Ruiqing, so he almost knelt down and bowed three times.

Chang Ruiqing nodded with a smile, waved his hand again, and asked his subordinates to take this wretched regiment leader down to rest. He had planned to release people and return weapons or something, this was to send a favor to Li Jincai, how could the other party say that he was also the division commander of Beiyang, and he was his nominal commander, and he had already killed more than 200 fellow villagers, and it would be too bad to rob things again. As for the more than 800 wasted prisoners, holding them in their hands will only waste food, and putting them back can make them add fuel and vinegar to publicize the courage and good fighting of the model regiment, so that most of the other three regiments of the 13th Division will not dare to leave the Nanyuan camp after being killed.

……

January 19, 1917.

Beijing.

No. 2 Iron Lion Hutong, inside the War Department of the Qing Empire. A few Beiyang officials wearing neat flowers were holding the battle report they had just received, and they were snorting there. Everyone's faces were pale, they looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Zhang Xun sat on the top seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, drinking there without raising his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

The new Minister of War Lei Zhenchun saw that it was a little cold, so he opened his mouth first: "One regiment to one regiment...... It only took half a night to wipe out the whole army, this is too much, right? ”

"Hmph, isn't that because the friendly forces don't cooperate well? So that my 13th Regiment of the 55th Division fought alone? Outnumbered, it will ...... Causing the rout? Li Jincai's face was gloomy, and he replied with a gun and a stick.

"My 12th Division is stationed in Beiyuan, which is separated from the Xihongmen Gate in Fengtai County by the entire city of Beijing! I can't get there with my wings, but the three regiments in the Nanyuan Barracks can be reached in an hour, four regiments fight a regiment, and no matter how powerful his Chang Ruiqing's model regiment is, he can't eat and walk around! Chen Guangyuan knew that Li Jincai was complaining about himself, so he replied unceremoniously.

"This month is dark and windy, and the enemy situation is unknown, how can you attack casually? In case of an ambush, who will guard the Nanyuan camp, and who will be responsible for the south gate of the Jingshi? Besides...... Who do you let them call the shots? I'm not here as a division commander and I'm not ......" Li Jincai snapped upright, saluted Zhang Xun respectfully, and said loudly: "Commander, please go to war, my 13th division swears not to share the sky with the thieves!" ”

"Please also play under the mark, I will take Chang Ruiqing and Fengtai City to the big handsome within three days!" Chen Guangyuan was not to be outdone, and jumped up and asked for battle.

Hearing the words of the two division commanders asking for battle, Zhang Xun smiled coldly, and his eyes swept the two of them gloomily: "Use a knife to kill chickens?" The two of you should stay in Beijing with the old man with peace of mind! The matter of fighting Fengtai can be handed over to Baoshan, and the old man has already dispatched with him with eight battalion heads. ”

"Shaoxuan, do you think the emperor is really in Fengtai City? The army will attack the city in case it affects the emperor......" Hearing Zhang Xun's words, Wang Shizhen frowned and reminded.

Zhang Xun sneered and waved his hand: "He Chang Ruiqing may not have the emperor in his hands, but he must have a father and mother surnamed Chang in my hands!" ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and saw Zhang Xun's nephew Zhang Biting walking in angrily. Seeing that the room full of officials didn't bother to salute and say hello, they ran directly to Zhang Xun's side, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Oh no! Zhang Wenzheng in Xuzhou reported that Chang Ruiqing's parents were picked up by our Japanese military advisers in a car last night! I don't know where I went now......"
