"Chief of Staff, the enemy has just rushed through our second ambush, and there is still more than a mile to go to us!" Wang Guozhen, the leader of the reconnaissance team, rushed over and reported that since the enemy troops came out of Beiyuan, the reconnaissance team followed and reconnoitred the whole process, and cooperated with the cavalry to carry out many harassment operations.

"Keep on your vigilance!" Xu Yongchang nodded and commanded, although he tried his best to make himself look calm, in fact, his heart was also up and down. It has been fifteen or sixteen years since Xu Yongchang joined Song Qing's Yi Army in the year of Xin Chou, and he has experienced many wars and turmoil, but it is the first time to command the troops to fight, especially to command as many as one mixed brigade, and it is inevitable that he will be apprehensive.

In fact, he didn't expect that Brigade Commander Tang would trust him, the chief of staff who had only been in office for two months, and actually handed over such a major battle to him to command, just to repay Tang Zhidao's trust, he should also do his best to command this battle.

In order to do a good job in this ambush battle, last night he only brought a few guards to reconnoiter both sides of the official road from Shahe Town to Changping County, and drove out a detailed battle plan overnight and handed it to Brigade Commander Tang. To his dumbfoundedness, Brigade Commander Tang issued the issue without seeing it, and the whole brigade completely obeyed his dispatch, which made his pressure increase sharply, and he inquired into the details of the entire combat opportunity one by one. Everyone supports your work now, and if this battle is smashed again, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your head up again in the 3rd Mixed Brigade.

Brigade Commander Tang dared to give command to Chief of Staff Xu, not only out of trust in Xu Yongchang, a very famous NPC in history, but more importantly, this battle was not difficult at all. Not to mention an ambush, it is a hard-fought encounter, that is, a battle with the entire 13th Division, and the 3rd Mixed Brigade will also crush it. The reason is very simple, with the statement of a large group of really powerful people in the morning, Zhang Xun is already a dead tiger trapped in the capital, except for the lack of roots and tendons in his brain, how can he follow the pigtail handsome road to the dark? The performance of a normal person must be repentance and follow everyone to kill the tiger.

Of course, Brigade Commander Tang will not break this point, anyway, it is a rare and real opportunity, and handing it over to Chief of Staff Xu for command can not only temper his command ability, but also test the results of the troops' training in the past two months, and may also make some benefits, such as seizing some guns and ammunition.

With the wisdom of Chief of Staff Xu, it is not that he can't figure it out, but he only thinks about restoring the republic and overthrowing the restored Manchu court, so he doesn't think deeply, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry to let the troops enter Beijing as soon as possible.

In general, Chief of Staff Xu's arrangement of this ambush battle is still remarkable, first sent a cavalry battalion to harass and delay the opponent's marching speed all the way, and saw that several ambush points behind were arranged, fearing that excessive attacks would scare the other side away, so he decisively withdrew the cavalry battalion; On the ambush points, two small, one large and three ambush points are also arranged according to the terrain, which can not only reduce the opponent's defense, but also prevent the opponent from rapidly shrinking into a rout battle after being ambushed; In the rear, two cavalry battalions were placed in the rear of the enemy's flank, which could cut off the retreat of the place at any time.

"Chief of Staff, the enemy has entered the ambush circle!" Zuo Jiwu, the deputy of the regiment, shouted dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you ...... yet?"

"Wait, the pigtails are hiding behind, wait for them to enter the ambush circle before they make a move!" Xu Yongchang put down the telescope in his hand and said lightly: "To these rabbit cubs, give me a hard beating!" ”

Although this battle is for rebellion, all that can be consumed is the domestic national defense force, so without affecting the overall situation, the enemy army can be killed as little as possible, but the pigtail army is an exception, and they will be beaten to death.

"Division commander, the road ahead is dense and narrow, I'm afraid there will be an ambush again!" Yang Deming once again kindly reminded that since he came out of Beiyuan, he always felt that something was wrong, maybe he should learn from Lao Xu (the commander of the 26th Brigade), and he couldn't come out by pretending to be sick.

"Haha, Lao Yang, your guts are too small, you have mentioned it seven or eight times along the way!" Liu Dongheng sneered: "It's not like you didn't see it just now, what's so tight about such an ambush." ”

Although he said that it didn't matter, Liu Dongheng also ordered the braided barracks and the troops directly under the division headquarters and the baggage troops to stop.

"The cavalry battalion has passed through the front section, and there is nothing unusual!" This time, the cavalry in front also passed back the reconnaissance situation.

"What's the matter? I'm right! Liu Dongheng looked at Yang Deming proudly and roared with a big hand: "Forward!" ”

"Not good!" Liu Dongheng suddenly thought of something and suddenly shouted, Yang Deming hurriedly asked, "Commander, what's wrong?" ”

"Alas! We are all surnamed Tang, and he has set up several ambush points, definitely to drag us down, and his main force will definitely run! Liu Dongheng suddenly came up with such an idea, in his opinion, if the opponent in Changping City knew that his old Liu was coming with such a powerful force, his first reaction would definitely be to flee!

"Order the troops, speed up the march!" Without waiting for Lao Yang to speak, Liu Dongheng rushed out as soon as he raised his horsewhip, and a few Goshha around him immediately chased him out.

"Bang Bang ......"

"Da Da ......"

……

Division Commander Liu had just rushed out for a minute or two when dense gunfire rang out in the dense forest on the side of the road. Lao Liu pulled the reins and stopped, and pretended to be calm and said: "Grandma's, it's a small group of raiding troops again, don't pay attention to them!" “

"Commander, be careful!" Suddenly, a dense number of bullets swept towards Division Commander Liu, and Goshha hurriedly helped Division Commander Liu off his horse and ran to the side of the road.

"Damn, what are you doing!" Liu Dongheng thought that it was a small-scale sneak attack, just like just now, and he didn't want his embarrassment to be seen by the officers and soldiers of the 13th Division, so as to affect his prestige in the 13th Division.

"Boom"

"Boom"

But Lao Liu's so-called demeanor only lasted a few seconds, and several shells fell in the pigtail battalion, overturning more than a dozen pigtail troops at once, and the broken feet and hands flew in the air in an instant.

"Hurry, hurry, retreat!" A wipe of blood splashed on his face, Liu Dongheng didn't even care about his demeanor, and even the braided army under his command couldn't take care of it, and with the support of a few Goshkha, he rushed south in embarrassment.

The "boom" ran out only a few dozen steps, and a shell exploded next to Division Commander Liu impartially. He had been a master for less than a whole day, and he went to see Lafayette of the Manchu Dynasty with the dream of becoming an official and becoming a knight and a wife and a son.

"Brothers, stop working for the pigtail army of dog days!"

"Embrace the republic, oppose the restoration!"

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, we surrender, we surrender......"

……

The ambush battle had just begun, and the artillery battalion was also conducting the first round of firing, and the officers and men in ambush were not ready to charge, and the officers and men of the 13th Division, which had been pulled apart by a long snake in the middle of the main road, were themselves in chaos. The Xue Chengming battalion, which was in the middle of the ranks, also took the opportunity to attack the pigtail army around him, so that only one battalion of the pigtail army was quickly defeated.

"Blow the trumpet!" Xu Yongchang was originally preparing for the opponent to counterattack, preparing for the movement of all units in place and then dividing and encircling the enemy army with a long queue, but when he saw this formation, he did not hesitate to give the order to attack.

"Shoot or kill!"

"Surrender or Die"

"Put down your guns and raise your hands!"

……

As soon as he heard the sound of the charge, the three battalions of the first infantry regiment took the lead in rushing out of the woods and going straight to the middle of the road under the leadership of the battalion commander Du Shijie.

......When Han Zitai's independent cavalry battalion and Song Hualong's brigade cavalry battalion appeared at the north and south ends respectively, the overall situation had been decided, and a small number of soldiers who had escaped quickly put down their weapons and knelt on the side of the road when they saw the overwhelming cavalry.

"Let's go! Go down and have a look! Xu Yongchang did not expect that his carefully planned ambush battle would only last for about ten minutes before it ended, at this time, the official road was full of prisoners with their hands raised, and the center of the road was full of all kinds of firearms.

Since the First Battle of Duolun, the Second Mixed Regiment and later the Third Mixed Brigade have not fought another major battle, but only suppressed a few bandits. The whole brigade has been holding its breath for a long time, especially some people who usually lose on the training ground, and they always want to get the field back on the battlefield, thinking that this time the enemy army is menacing, how can it last a few rounds.

What was even more frustrating was that Xue Chengming and Ding Xiangdong surrendered so quickly, and the two infantry battalions that attempted to "revolt" on the battlefield did not have time to play their role at all, and the various units of the mixed brigade that came to surrender also disarmed these two battalions without discrimination, and did not take these heroes of "republicanism" seriously at all. At first, Ding Xiangdong wanted to plead a few sentences, but when he saw that the other party's black hole was aimed at him, he had no choice but to give up and squat to the side obediently.
