Chapter 151: The Wind Blows the Red Flag and the Land Turns Seven

【151】Wind Blowing Red Flag Earth Flip (7)

Seeing the entire front of the Qing army floating, Yao Fan's face also showed a faint joy, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm about to win." ”

With the continuous shooting of Yao Fan's stragglers who rushed straight to the middle of the road, the Qing army's large array finally collapsed completely, and I don't know who started it, the infantry who were retreating before the left wing of the Qing army suddenly slid backwards as if the soles of their feet were smeared with oil, and this slip could not be contained, and it actually turned a retreat into a rout.

Yao Fan raised his right arm and pointed forward, and said loudly: "The enemy's will to fight has completely collapsed!" Now I command, the whole army assaults! ”

The 2nd Company, 3rd Company, and 4th Company of Liu Jinbao's 3rd Battalion, which was the last general reserve, were also thrown into battle, and the shouts of killing were incessant on the battlefield, and the dust was flying on the central field due to running and trampling.

Yao Fan ordered Gui Ba to extend artillery bombardment behind the Qing army's formation.

"Pay attention to the advance of our army, and don't hit the camp in the middle of the Qing army, where we need grain and grass."

"Understood, Chairman." Gui Ba is through at one o'clock.

Next, 82-mm mortar shells seemed to have eyes, chasing the scattered troops of the Qing army on the vast land, bombarding them, driving their pace faster and more chaotic.

Hu Guangting had already rushed into the original position of the Qing soldiers, and the impact of a full 15oo meters made him sweat and pant like a cow at the moment. He saw a small earthen platform two meters high, so he rushed up and stood to observe the fleeing Qing army in the distance.

The rumbling shells exploded into clouds of gunsmoke, and the mushroom clouds that rose up in the air extended towards the north road, throwing down guns all over the ground, and many of the fleeing Qing soldiers were tripped by the guns thrown by the front army, so they were killed and wounded under the trampling of the troops behind. Hu Guangting suspected that these Qing troops who were trampled to death were more killed than the vanguard of the assault group led by himself.

The next battle became a one-sided pursuit, and the cavalry on both wings of the Qing army had disappeared out of nowhere, Yao Fan couldn't help but sigh again at the cavalry's mobility ability, but he also clearly felt that the Huai cavalry's decisive heart in battle was not as good as the five Mongolian cavalry battalions that fought before, but on the other hand, the flexibility of the rudder also ensured that they could save the main force.

If Wang Zhengqi can put his eight battalions of cavalry together, and rush to my side as soon as they come up, this battle is really hard to say, after all, it is 2,000 men and 2,000 horses, and it will only take more than a minute to run 1ooo meters like a cloud, and there are always so many dozen horses that can break through the fire network? No matter how fast the machine gun fires, in terms of the overall hit rate of about one percent on average, by the time the bullets are gone, the saber will fall on the head in a few seconds. In the event of casualties, will these new recruits of mine be able to withstand it?

Yao Fan knew that this assumption was meaningless: "The cavalry of the Huai army will never have the courage to fight to the last soldier, not only the cavalry of the Huai army does not have it, Yao Fan even doubts that there is no cavalry in the world at this moment with the courage to die in this way."

The 4,000-strong Huai army and the more than 2,000 auxiliary troops in charge of logistics and baggage fled, and the momentum was like a flood that burst the embankment, spreading out, running all over the mountains and fields.

Yao Fan didn't stop pursuing, he picked up the walkie-talkie: "Fourth!" Li Jun! Speed up your left and right flanks, outflank and pursue all the way, collect your troops after dark, and return to the Qing army camp to station! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes! Chairman! ”

Yao Fan waited for a few seconds and then heard the two of them respond one by one on the walkie-talkie, and their excitement and excitement could be heard in their voices.

The battlefield is still fifteen kilometers away from Pingdu, according to Yao Fan's pre-war plan, if the battle is born in the morning, then pursue all the way to Pingdu, but now it is more than three o'clock in the afternoon, once the night comes, Yao Fan needs to guard against the enemy's deathly counterattack, if the Huai army goes out and takes advantage of the night to move the cavalry to counterattack, even if it is two to one against Yao Fan, it can't afford it.

The soldiers' grenades were of little use because they had never been given the opportunity to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and after driving the enemy five kilometers north of Zhanggezhuang, the whole army began to recover as planned and gathered into the camp that the Qing army had built for them.

"Chairman!" Li Hainiu said excitedly: "There are more than 30,000 catties of grain piled up in the Qing army camp, and there are countless forages, harnesses, and carts, and there are 411 horses alone!" Three hundred and nine mules, one hundred and fifty fat donkeys! In addition, 75 unharmed horses were captured. Thirty boxes of foreign guns, ten in each box! One hundred and twenty powder kegs! In addition, more than 400 foreign guns were picked up on the battlefield! More than 130 Qing soldiers were captured, half of whom were wounded. ”

Yao Fan sighed comfortably: "This is about ten days of grain and grass and all his means of transportation, without these things, he is a tiger without legs." After swallowing his saliva, Yao Fan continued: "I really didn't expect him to actually bring out all his belongings. ”

Li Hainiu was in high spirits: "He must have expected that we had few soldiers, and he was afraid that we would avoid the battle and flee, so he brought ten days." ”

Yao Fan suddenly smiled: "There may be more in Pingdu City." ”

Li Hainiu nodded heavily: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the grain and grass in Pingdu City must be ten times this." ”

Yao Fan ordered the soldiers to use the tools left by the Qing army to untie the pine barracks one by one as firewood, light piles of blazing bonfires, and eat a celebration feast.

The PLA military parade march was played in the Xinke brand trolley portable speaker, and the vegetables, meat, oil, and eggs brought by the Qing army were openly supplied, so that the soldiers after continuous marching and an afternoon of fighting had round stomachs one by one.

A sturdy soldier held the wooden bowl left by the Qing army and fiercely picked up the rice, and said vaguely: "This battle is comfortable!" It's been a great day! If I can have another glass of wine, then I will die tomorrow! ”

Another warrior, who was also sitting around the cauldron, said, "you, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet!" Even if you want to die, you have to leave a seed for my father and mother first. ”

"It's fast, it's fast, didn't you hear the chairman say that he would give his daughter-in-law after this battle? I believe in the chairman. The platoon commander of this platoon picked up a long wooden spoon and fished out a piece of meat from the pot: "This piece of meat is ready, who wants it?" "The large piece of horse meat is mixed with the heavy smell of green onion and ginger, and the aroma is compelling.

"Platoon commander! Give me another piece! Several fighters shouted in unison.

"Don't worry, the chairman said, eat all-you-can-eat meat today!" The platoon commander smiled, pulled out the short saber at his waist and began to cut meat.

"This horse meat is really delicious, but it is not as fat as pork, if only you could meet the cavalry every trip." The warriors were smiling and munching happily.

The platoon commander said with rich experience: "Cook for a while, cook the soup thickly, then it will be delicious!" ”

This picnic lasted for three hours, and a platoon of soldiers surrounded the big iron pot thrown by the Qing army, ate meat and vegetables, beat the eggs, and ate the bottom of the pot to the sky.

Yao Fan took all the battalion commanders, deputy battalion commanders, company commanders, and deputy company commanders of the four battalions to inspect the camp, greeting the soldiers cordially in front of piles of bonfires, asking their opinions on food and their views on today's battle.

As soon as the soldiers saw Yao Fan coming, they all put down their dishes and chopsticks and stood up respectfully, straightened their bodies like javelins, and proudly held their chests.

Yao Fan walked through every platoon, and every time he came to a platoon, he stepped forward to shake hands with everyone cordially, and when he heard the platoon commander and company commander introduce the brave soldiers in the platoon, he shook hands with the soldier for a long time, and asked for warmth.

"The cadres should record the names of the outstanding fighters, and when they return to Jimo, we will hold a celebration meeting to commend them one by one!" Yao Fan told Li Jundao, who was in charge of the military merit record.

"Yes, Chairman. Today, no one in our army died, only five people were injured, all five of them were caused by the long-distance hit of the lead bullets fired by the Qing army, but the wounds were relatively shallow, fortunately, there was a steel helmet so no one hurt the head, and the names of the five wounded were recorded. Li Jun said.

"After the bullet was dug up, the wound was bandaged, and the oral anti-inflammatory drugs could not be stopped." Yao Fan admonished.

After inspecting all the companies and platoons, Yao Fan was also a little tired, and said to Li Hainiu: "The soldiers are very satisfied with this kind of horse meat hot pot, we can do it often in the future, don't waste the war horses killed on the battlefield, take advantage of the cool weather to clean up, cut off the horse meat and marinate it, the horse bone stew is very good." ”

"Yes!"

"Just like last night, we must arrange the sentry position, considering that the Qing army was newly defeated and fled to Pingdu, tonight's trench earthwork will be exempted, but the toilet must be dug, and it was dug very well last time."

"Yes!"

"After eating, immediately boil water and soak your feet, tomorrow morning the whole army will get up at nine o'clock, and after breakfast, rush to Pingdu City in one go, and take Pingdu."

"Yes!" Li Hainiu looked at the god of war in his heart adoringly.

But Yao Fan knew in his heart that although the cooperation, organization, and discipline of this army already had the appearance of a modern army, it was still far from the steel lion in his mind.

"Is it only the most difficult environment that can create such a special army? I don't think so! Yao Fan thought.

"It is true that the objective environment can temper the will of the troops, but the key to cultivating this kind of will and quality lies in the subjective ideology and high-spirited outlook, and these two points can be summed up as a matter of ideological style."

"Excellent ideological style, first, comes from education and training; the second comes from the continuous strengthening of discipline; The third is from a class background. This last point is especially crucial! Only the proletariat, only the awakened proletariat, only the organized proletariat, are truly invincible warriors. ”

When Yao Fan was asleep, Wang Zhengqi in Pingdu City had no sleep all night, and he didn't even touch the bed.

The war horses that asked for help were sent out from Pingdu in batches, and the head of Pingdu City was full of torches, shining like daylight. The cauldron of stone and wood golden soup was urgently spread all over the city, and the bows and arrows in the treasury of Pingdu City were also taken out, equipped with deserters and auxiliaries who had lost their weapons, and even two Ming Dynasty bronze cannons found out of nowhere were also tossed on the city.

Wang Zhengqi anxiously inspected the city, if Pingdu was lost again, he, the chief military officer of the second grade, would definitely be swept to the end.

In the daytime battle, the 12th battalion of Zhenzi collapsed at the first touch, and it can even be said that it was the first to collapse, and suddenly beat Wang Zhengqi from the clouds of high spirits before the expedition to the quagmire of losing confidence, he changed his previous arrogance, went to the other extreme, and became extremely cautious.

"Lock up all the black dogs in the city." Wang Zhengqi resolutely ordered.

"The rubber thief musket can be fast, and the range is extremely far and accurate, it is not a demon magic! What's more, the glue thief's artillery is sharp, and every explosion is accurate, and it has the power of ghosts and gods! The bombardment continued, apparently there were a lot of cannons, and it is not known whether there were hundreds of them! And our army didn't even see much of the light and smoke of the glue thief artillery array! Obviously, the glue thief used a trick to cover his eyes, otherwise even if it was a hundred cannons, how could they be so accurate from afar? "Wang Zhengqi's analysis is very scientific, and it is obvious that he has made a hard attack.

Pity him, he doesn't understand why the rifled front gun in his hand is such an artifact, why it is not as good as the short nameless foreign gun in the hands of the glue thief.

In these years, the rifling in the best rifle is only half a circle or even half a circle around the chamber, who would have thought that Yao Fan would actually be equipped with a kind of four rifling wires that evenly wrap around the chamber for a whole circumference! A monster-level rifle that forms a small entanglement to the ground, four yin, four yang, and eight rifles.

Of course, Wang Zhengqi couldn't think of it, so he could only attribute it to the power of ghosts and gods.

So he can only lose.

Wang Zhengqi had read military books, and the first thing he thought of when he was about to sharpen his gun was to ask for help from the classics.

Since you are defending the city, of course, you have to watch "Guarding the City".

The parents of the Song Dynasty probably did not want their children to do some earth-shattering things in the future, and the stereotypes did not live up to the expectations of his parents.

The "Record of Defending the City" clearly regulates the placement of the cannon at the head of the city, and the genius of the creation puts forward the principle that the muzzle of the cannon is facing the city, that is to say, when the enemy attacks the city, the cannon is not used, but when the enemy enters the city, Zhu Jun can start to fight, and start shelling the enemy army in the city!

What kind of political zhì thoughts! What kind of military thinking is there! The reactionary and decadent ideology of Confucianism corroded China's martial spirit like a poisonous snake, and changed China's military thinking from the external expansion of the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties to a policy of advocating etiquette, religion, and inferiority.

Wang Zhengqi deserves to have read the book! He ordered: "Point two cannons at the city!" If the thief invades, he will die without a place to bury! ”

Yao Fan didn't know that Wang Zhengqi was such a rich man. After waking up from sleep, he left behind the four companies of the first battalion that replaced the wounded soldiers, guarded the captured supplies and the Qing prisoners, and then set out again.

As Yao Fan marched straight to Pingdu, Wang Zhengqi's cavalry sentry spread the news to Pingdu City like snowflakes.

In order to prevent the cavalry attack of the Qing army and facilitate the formation of formation, Yao Fan divided the four battalions into three roads, each with an interval of 1oo meters.

After seeing the silhouette of Pingdu City emerging from the ground, Yao Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to the battle plan, four battalions surround the four gates! After the general assault begins, a full blast will be carried out on each of the four gates! Yao Fan ordered.

"Is Wang Zhengqi's brain broken? The cavalry did not go out of the city to attack? Yao Fan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it.

"All battalions pay attention to the formation during the encirclement, and be vigilant against enemy cavalry attacks!" He continued to order. rg
