Situ Jun watched as the Chu team officer returned to the mountain road with more than 200 prisoners, and headed north under the escort of dozens of Mengshan soldiers wearing gray cloth military uniforms.

"My name is Lu Shan, and I am the deputy commander of the Mengshan Army," Dahan stared at Situ Jun with a grim gaze, "Tell me about your troop deployment." Since you are a staff officer, don't say that you don't know the way. ”

"Where else is there to deploy? It's all completely disrupted by you. Situ Jun smiled bitterly, "Besides, don't you already know the deployment of our army?" He thought to himself, this gang of bandits is really an army, and there is a commander and deputy commander.

"Your Supreme Commander on this road is in front?" Lu Shan pointed to the south where the battle was still fierce.

"Yes, Lord Lu is in the south."

"He couldn't run. You withdrew from Yuanzhuang, there are three battalions in total, right? It was a whole battalion that I wiped out just now, right? "Lu Shan verifies the enemy situation that needs to be confirmed urgently.

"That's right." Situ Jun didn't think there was any need to hide it, and he even wanted to make something to end this boring battle.

"Why don't you keep braids for you?" Lu Shan noticed Situ Jun's abnormality.

Situ Jun just shook his head.

"Follow me, I have a chance to persuade your commander, don't resist, no one is our commander's opponent!" The bandit leader named Lu Shan said proudly.

Now, about 700 officers and soldiers under Lu Yongxiang's command are surrounded on all sides in a depression under the southern slope of the mountain. When the enemy completed the middle breakthrough with the time difference, Lu Yongxiang's first feeling was to fight north, hoping to break through the partition and get in touch with the rear team. But he didn't have time to adjust his deployment to organize the attack, and a strong enemy in the south absorbed him, so that he had to resist desperately to avoid collapse. As a result, the attempt to launch an attack in the rear team to meet was easily thwarted.

If there is a reliable means of communication, the results will be different if the two separate officers and troops act in unison. But the situation now is that after the troops desperately repelled the attack from the south, the well-organized fire from the eastern heights posed a serious threat. As the light of day brightened, the enemy's shots became more and more accurate, inflicting heavy casualties on the officers and soldiers who had gathered in the depression. Suffering from the threat of firepower on the heights to the east, Lu Yongxiang had to organize his troops to turn around and attack the mountain in order to get rid of the threat of the heights, and the first attack was effortlessly defeated.

Lu Yongxiang's anger was aroused. Ignoring the request of his two battalion officers to first open up contact with the rear team, he forced the troops to take the mountain again. He believes that without seizing the commanding heights, no action of the troops can proceed smoothly. Therefore, the concentrated forces to attack the mountain, and the fierce battle began on the hillside, and the attack was close to success for a time, when hand-to-hand combat began near the top of the mountain, the counter-charge launched by a company of the Mengshan Army that came up with urgent reinforcements made Lu Yongxiang fall short. In desperation, Lu Yongxiang organized troops to attack again, but because the morale was dampened in the last battle, the attack of the official army became loose and collapsed, and only seven or eight people were killed and wounded before withdrawing, which made Lu Yongxiang angry like thunder.

This is the problem of the ineffectiveness of the temporary subordinate troops. The privatization of the army is the warlord, but the combat effectiveness of the privatized army under the command of the immediate superior should not be underestimated. The three infantry battalions assigned to Lu Yongxiang by Wang Shizhen were not troops trained by Lu Yongxiang himself, and there was no way to do it. The right army of Wuwei entered Shandong, Lu Yongxiang had been serving in Dezhou, and the troops in Yizhou were defeated, and Yuan Shikai could only piece together the army from everywhere, most of which were the vanguard of Feng Guozhang's reorganization, formerly known as the old army of the Green Battalion, and the organization and training were more than one grade worse than the new army of the small station. The equipment is almost the same, it looks quite bluffing, but it is not on a horizontal plane at all.

Training is not the most important problem, the key is that the command is not effective, like the attack on the eastern slope just now, if it was a unit that was trained by its own hands, it would never be so cowardly. To put it bluntly, the intention of the battalion officers is to preserve their strength, and they have paid too many casualties for the attack on the eastern slope just now, and they have not succeeded, which has led to Lu Yongxiang's next order being seriously questioned.

"My lord, let's meet with Tian Yingguan first. It's just a nonsense, and it's all over quickly. "Before leaving Yuanzhuang, Officer Wu heard the advice of Staff Officer Situ, and the troops fell to this point, all to blame for this Lord Lu's stubbornness and lack of good advice.

Lu Yongxiang was shocked, he was not unaware of the importance of the rendezvous between the road and the rear team, and he diverted his attention just now because the rifle fire of the thief army on the hillside was accurate and ferocious, and the troops who were pressed could not raise their heads. Only then did he have to seize the commanding heights to get out of the predicament, but as soon as Officer Wu reminded him, Lu Yongxiang realized the danger of the rear team, "What you said is true!" Immediately assemble your battalion and fight northward. Meet Lao Tian. ”

It's late. The cavalry artillery platoon of the Mengshan Army finally arrived from the city of Philadelphia with two 37mm guns, and as soon as the two guns that were dragged up Dongshan opened fire, the officers and soldiers who were already demoralized immediately blew up their nests. They had never experienced such a terrible scene, shells exploded in the defensive circle, shrapnel rained down, flesh and blood flew everywhere, the troops began to lose control, a large number of soldiers fled towards the relatively quiet west, the officers couldn't stop drinking, and the breakthrough turned into a rout!

"It's over__" doesn't need to use a telescope, Situ Jun standing on a mountain rock can see the situation clearly with the naked eye. There must be an enemy ambush in the west, and in such a situation, it only takes one company to intercept it, and the last bit of fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers will completely collapse.

"You must have laid an ambush on the west side, right?" Situ Jun jumped off the mountain rock and asked Lu Shan, who was holding a telescope to observe.

Lu Shan glanced at the young staff officer, "We have a cavalry company, and cavalry cannot go up the mountain to fight. ”

Situ Jun actually smiled, "You have repeatedly surveyed this terrain, right?" ”

Lu Shan ignored Situ Jun, he ordered to turn to the attack!

The battle took a sharp turn, and the next thing was to capture the prisoners. When a hundred and ten horses appeared in front of the fleeing officers and soldiers, everything was over.

No one paid attention to Situ Jun, but he kept following behind Lu Shan until he met Long Qian.

"Commander, according to the captives, their commander is called Lu Yongxiang, and he has died in battle." A cavalryman jumped off his horse and reported to a tall man who was not much lower than Lu Shan, and Situ Jun's eyes were fixed on the man.

"Hmm, Lu Yongxiang__" Dahan's eyes were a little confused, his gaze swept over Situ Jun, but he didn't stop, "Leave the second battalion to clean up the battlefield, and Mingyuan will be in charge." Take the captives back to Yuanzhuang. The rest of the troops immediately formed a team, rested for a quarter of an hour, returned to Fei County, and arrested Wang Shizhen! ”

Situ Jun was shocked. Another big defeat! After this battle, the entire Lunan region, including Caozhou and Yanzhou, is in danger!

The troops, who called themselves the Mengshan Army, quickly moved into action, the prisoners were taken aside, the number of people was counted, and more soldiers quickly formed a team, standing in a square formation with companies as units, and the numbers were reported neatly and loudly.

"Report, the Ninth Company is complete."

"The 11th Company is complete."

"Lu Shan led the cavalry company to go first, the fourth battalion set off, and the third battalion followed!" Long Qian ordered.

"You put in a total of three battalions?" Situ Jun asked Lu Shan.

"Hey, why are you still here? Take him to the captive team. Only then did Lu Shan notice that this staff officer had been following him.

"Who is he?" Long Qian finally noticed Situ Jun.

"Wang Shizhen's staff officer. I just took him captive. ”

"Yes, our army committed three battalions, plus a cavalry company and an incomplete guard company. Compared to you, the army does not have an advantage. Staff Officer Situ, what do you think of the battle just now? Long Qian said with a smile.

"Admire, very much. The perfect ambush, from the choice of terrain to the order and rhythm of the battles, is beyond reproach. It is completely possible to enter the textbooks of military academies. ”

"You graduated from the Martial Arts Academy?"

"No, I'm a graduate of the Berlin Military Academy."

"Oh, really? I didn't expect Yuan Shikai to be able to recruit talents from Germany's highest military academy. Long Qian's interest came.

"If you play the way I play, you won't win."

"Really? Instead, I need to ask for advice. But it's too late now. Mr. Situ, would you like to come with me to Fei County again? ”

Situ Jun nodded.

"Give him a horse. Follow me. Long Qian smiled and said, "Staff Officer Situ, what do you think Wang Shizhen will do now?" ”

"His best strategy is to take advantage of your main force to leave the breakout."

"Will it? To meet Feng Guozhang? ”

"I don't know what to do__"

"Ha Luha, let's witness the adaptability of the head of the three heroes of Beiyang."

Without waiting for Long Qian to lead the main force of the Mengshan Army to return to Fei County, he had already received a report from Kuaima on the way, saying that the enemy of Fei County had abandoned the city and broken through, and the target was to the south, heading towards Yizhou. According to the pre-planned plan, the first battalion launched a forced pursuit, and Deputy Commander Lu led the cavalry company to chase down. Fei County is already an empty city.

"Ha Luha, admit defeat? I'm overestimating him. Long Qian turned around and said to Ning Shijun, "Shijun, you take the three battalions back, go back to Yuanzhuang." The guard company will also be handed over to you to take away, Feng Guozhang may kill him, stick to Yuanzhuang, and not take the initiative to attack. When the battle situation here reaches his ears, he will return to Yanzhou. If he retreats, you don't have to pursue him, let him go. ”

"Can I send a company to touch it?"

"You can do it." Long Qian looked at Situ Jun, "We are only trying to break the advance of the official army, and we are not aiming at complete annihilation. Now, the purpose of the campaign has basically been achieved. It's best for Lu Shan and Zhou Yi to arrest Wang Shizhen back for me. That would be perfect. ”

The Mengshan army divided its troops again, Long Qian led the four battalions of Feng Guozhu to continue to advance into Fei County, and Ning Shijun returned to Yuanzhuang with the three battalions and the guard company.

Situ Jun looked at the city wall of Fei County, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, four days ago, he left Fei County for Yuanzhuang, although he had doubts about the battle situation, but he never expected that only four days later, the situation would change like this! He completely forgot that he was already a prisoner, and largely watched the battle as a bystander.

The streets of Fei County were empty, and the people took refuge in their homes. In fact, the Mengshan army has entered the county for the second time. Long Qian rode a horse and walked on the empty street and met Zhou Yi, who was staying in Fei County. After a brief discussion, a series of orders were issued: a notice was issued to the people, ordering the officers and soldiers hiding in the houses to surrender. The government will continue to work as usual to maintain order; Check whether there are any casualties among the people, and give timely treatment; Strictly enforce military discipline, and the Military Judge Advocate Institute took the lead in organizing supervision teams to patrol the streets, and without orders, no officers and soldiers were allowed to enter civilian houses, and no county government officials were allowed to arrest county officials, including county officials.

"Are your troops ready to occupy Fei County for a long time?" Situ Jun asked.

"Then it depends on what Yuan Shikai does. I hope this is my last fight with him. Long Qian said lightly.

That night, all the troops camped in the county government, prison, and Chenghuang Temple, and none of them stayed in private houses. Early the next morning, the cavalry messenger reported back the battle situation that Long Qian was concerned about, and the first battalion and the cavalry company caught up with Wang Shizhen's department, which had withdrawn from Fei County and fled to Yizhou.

Wang Shizhen was captured. Li Chun escaped again. The county commander of Fei County, who was almost executed by Li Chun for leaving his post without permission, was once again a prisoner this time.
