Chapter 179: Military Law is Ruthless (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the early morning, the early summer sunshine sprinkled on the ground through a little rain after a light rain at night, the fresh air is filled with a unique summer fragrance of the south of the Yangtze River with some morning dew, and a few morning birds slowly fly over the Sanqiaobu, which is the only place to go to Huzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the sunshine of early summer, Sanqiaobu, which used to be a prosperous town, has lost the prosperity of yesterday at this time, in the past three days, nearly 3,000 Qing troops and more than 5,000 Han people's troops were torn and killed here, and the rice fields outside the streets of Sanqiaobu were full of corpses, and the war seemed to be in a stalemate at this time.
However, although it is a battlefield, the early morning on the battlefield is still quiet, and with a different kind of beauty, the ruins in the town seem to have a faint sense of beauty of the old and the new, only the corpses scattered in the field, silently telling the cruelty of war, and a little red morning glow, silently telling the pain suffered by this land.
"Give me a battalion, a battalion ......"
In the half-human deep trench, Sun Guoliang, who was wearing a Western-style military uniform, held a telescope in his hand, while observing Sanqiaobu, he kept muttering on his lips, as the brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Hangzhou People's Army, before coming to Hangzhou, he was just a student who had just graduated from the lecture martial arts.
From the binoculars, he could clearly see that there were too many loopholes in the Qing army's defense line centered on Sanqiaobu, and if there was a battalion of new troops, he was confident that he could end the battle in three hours, although he could not completely annihilate the Qing army, but at least he could defeat them.
But the problem is that he simply does not have a battalion of new troops. The Second Brigade under his command was nothing more than a "people's army" formed only temporarily by students, the party, and ordinary people. The identity of the People's Army speaks for itself. They don't even know how to fight at all, they don't know how to fight either tactics or obedience.
They only relied on a swarm of swarms to rise up, completely out of order, although the opposing defense force had average archery skills, but in the past three days, it still caused the second brigade to lose thousands of men.
And the result is - no further!
In the past period, the reason why they were able to connect many cities was entirely due to the immensity of the rebel army. The counties were forced to surrender, and after encountering the stubborn defense of the Qing army, the true nature of the people's army was immediately revealed.
Just yesterday, when Sun Guoliang fired the last 600 mortar shells, trying to suppress the Qing army by virtue of his superiority in firepower, he then commanded the troops to seize the opportunity to seize Sanqiaobu and drive the dazed Qing army out of Sanqiaobu.
Last night's battle was just as he had expected, as hundreds of shells landed at Sanqiao Port in just a few minutes, instantly blowing up the Qing army to the point of fleeing in all directions like headless flies. The 4th Regiment, which had entered, also approached the left flank, and everything seemed to be going very well. It only takes one charge to take the Three Bridges.
Just as Sun Guoliang was about to cheer for the impending victory, the situation on the battlefield was reversed -- the Fourth Regiment actually missed the opportunity to attack in the final attack -- two of the three battalions chose to attack passively, and they stopped at the entrance of the town for fear that the shells would fall on them.
After the last shell was empty, the Qing army, which had recovered from its soul, immediately launched a counterattack against the civilian troops who had attacked Sanqiaobu, and the result was naturally conceivable - the last attempt ended in failure.
"Brigade commander, if we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to take the Three Bridges."
Not only can't it be taken, but it can't even cope with the counterattack of the Qing army!
Calm in his mind, Sun Guoliang heard some laughter coming from the trenches, and when the laughter came, his brows furrowed slightly, and then, he put down the telescope in his hand, looked at Chen Quai, who was also worried about the same anxiety beside him, and whispered two words to him.
"Brigadier, do you really want to do this?"
The brigade commander's order only made Chen Quai's whole heart tighten, after all, those people had fought with him in Hangzhou, had contributed to the uprising, and now they ......
"There's no way!"
Nodding, Sun Guoliang looked at Sanqiaobu and said.
"If we don't solve the internal problems, we will never want to hit Nanjing! Recover all of China! Chief of Staff, inform them of the meeting! ”
Two American revolvers were pinned to their waists, and their Western-style belts were full of bullets, and the guards carried carbines and short pistols on their waists, riding ...... Well, it's not a high-headed horse, it's just a horse recruited from a carriage and horse dealership, and a month ago, Li Laosi never thought that he would be able to be so beautiful one day.
A month ago, like others, he was just a bandit leader who was only wanted by the government, but now, he is the head of the fifth regiment of the Zhejiang People's Army of the Han Dynasty, when he entered the city to rebel, his subordinates were only more than 100 people, and now it is good, with nearly 2,000 men and horses, and there are 1,500 foreign guns of all colors alone.
"Big brother, do you say that his surname Sun won't take the opportunity to clean us up?"
Li Mutou reined in his horse and looked towards the brigade headquarters, his eyes were somewhat worried, one person is a bandit, the whole village is a bandit, this bandit is also a villager, and most of the brothers around Li Laosi are brothers of their own family. Compared with outsiders, there is naturally more blood relatives there.
"He dares!"
With a glaring of his eyes, the corners of Li Laosi's lips rose sharply, and his hand slapped the immediate revolver gun on his waist.
"That grandson wants to do a black hand, you have to ask the guy in our hands first!"
He turned the conversation around again, looked at the wood, and said.
"Wood, when there is a meeting in a while, you have to participate, when the time comes, your eyes are wider, don't let that grandson do the black hand, let him say whatever he wants, as long as our soldiers are a lot of soldiers, this year ......"
As long as you have soldiers on hand, maybe in the future, this militia will not work, and you can still use the idea of recruiting security on the side of the government.
"Big brother, it is estimated that the words of that grandson will not be light today!"
Not only will it not be light, as soon as the meeting began, everyone smelled the smell of gunpowder between Sun Guoliang's words.
“…… If this continues, not only will we not be able to defeat Nanjing, let alone recover the whole of China, and at that time, each of you and I will be sinners of the nation! ”
In addition to reprimanding loudly, Sun Guoliang noticed that the faces of the officers in the room were different, those officers who were born as students were mostly ashamed on their faces, while the officers from the bandit party all looked like they didn't care, it seemed that for them, it was no big deal.
Yes, what's the big deal if you just get scolded a few times!
"Military law is ruthless, military law is ruthless, how many times have I told you, do you really want to try the military law of my people's army?"
As soon as the words sank, Sun Guoliang suddenly shouted.
"Li Laosi, tell me, when the early morning attacked, why did the Fifth Regiment withdraw without a fight!"
Li Laosi, who was named in front of him, couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"What's the matter, do you want to kill a chicken to show the monkey?"
Originally, he was just giving the surname Sun some face, but when he thought about it like this, he was suddenly unhappy in his heart.
"Back to the commander's words, I am not the only one who retreated before the war, to say, the resistance of the Qing army is too fierce, the commander ......"
Just when Li Laosi was sitting there steadily, explaining disapprerovingly, Sun Guoliang walked behind him, and at some point he pulled out a short gun, and the barrel of the gun pressed against the back of Li Laosi's head.
The sudden gunshot only shocked everyone to look at Sun Guoliang in amazement, and looked at Li Laosi who was lying on the table, but before everyone could react, a team of guards rushed in.
"Big brother! The surname is Sun, Lao Tzu is going to fight with you......"
Li Mutou shouted here, and the guards who rushed in outside the door violently buckled his hands, kicked him to the ground with a kick in the knee socket, and Sun Guoliang, who was carrying a gun, walked over, and without even looking at it, he raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
However, within a few minutes, two people were executed one after another, this scene stunned everyone, those officers from the party and gang who had no waves in front of them, all looked at the brigade commander in shock, they never thought that Sun Guoliang would execute the two in public.
"Li Laosi's troops withdrew without permission, and military law was intolerable, so Sun had to practice military law!"
After saying this, Sun Guoliang stared at the regimental commanders, especially the regimental commanders who were born from the party and bandits, and then slowly issued a new order. In fact, the new order is a strict reaffirmation of military discipline, which is in fact the discipline of the new army.
If he had a choice, Sun Guoliang would rather execute all the regimental battalion commanders who were born from the party and bandits in the whole regiment, at least drive them out of the army, but for him, there was no better choice, the only thing he could do was to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and force others to obey the order by executing Li Laosi and others.
“…… In view of the fact that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions of the 5th Regiment retreated without authorization yesterday, resulting in a defeat in the battle, all the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion were removed from their ranks at the first time and made meritorious contributions in front of the battle.
One sentence decided the fate of nearly 1,000 people, the so-called meritorious service is actually just a "nice term", for Sun Guoliang, he needs to use a lesson to warn all the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade, and "meritorious service" is one of them, the so-called meritorious service is just a suicidal impact, and finally his eyes suddenly opened, staring at everyone and said.
"If it's not Sun's ruthlessness, if you want to blame it, you can blame this military law like a mountain, and you will never tolerate mercy!"
After a cold remark, Sun Guoliang's eyes fell on the corpse on the table, sacrifice is always inevitable, just as his words decided the fate of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Fifth Regiment, the death of some people will always have some meaning, at least, at least let these people in front of them understand that in the people's army, there is something they can't violate.
After issuing this military order with a helpless and sad face, Sun Guoliang issued several military orders one after another to maintain military discipline, after everyone obeyed the military order and withdrew from the venue, Sun Guoliang looked towards the north with a solemn expression, in his opinion, this is nothing more than a "supporting role", the real home field is in the northeast, there, what is there now?
