"It seems that fighting in a place like the mountains, even if the performance of the mortar is poor, there must be a certain number of installations."

Bai Wenwei frowned, the weight of the mortar at this time is not much lighter than the 37MM flat-fire gun in service in the Northeast Army, and it has many weaknesses such as weak lethality and short range, in fact, the debate on the practicability of curved guns and flat-fire guns has caused a fierce debate in the original Northeast Army, and this controversy is still going on until now, and the arsenal has been intensively developing new, lightweight, detachable, sufficient range, and more portable mortars. At this time, the mortar of the Republic of China was, in a sense, just an old-fashioned mountain artillery.

Previously, there were also major generals and lieutenant general-level officers who suggested to the General Staff and Qin Yu to install old-fashioned mountain guns to provide infantry fire close support, and at the same time increase the Northeast Army's mountain attack and defense capabilities. However, considering that the practicality of the old-fashioned curved artillery is not strong, and the cost of refitting it is too high, and at this time, whether it is the Mongolian steppe or the Guannei, the airfield of the Central Army can be repaired to the first line, but Xinjiang is too far away, and the forward airfield has not yet been repaired, and it takes a certain amount of time for ground support, gasoline, and planes to come over. The Central Army's aggressiveness in relying on aviation has to a certain extent covered up the lack of mortars on the battlefield. At this time, when the Central Air Force did not arrive in Xinjiang in time, the cover of the non-curved guns was soon exposed. The warp cannon is not powerful enough, but in some certain cases, it cannot be replaced by other artillery.

The terrain of Tacheng is dangerous, especially in the area of Gula Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the opponent can have an unobstructed view below. Even if you want to take down this Russian position, I am afraid that you will have to pay a lot of price.

In front of them, five or six soldiers of the 27th Division were swept to the ground by the opponent's machine guns, and dozens of people were killed and wounded one after another, and they could not get close.

"Tuanza, why are you here, this is the first line, the back-attack machine gun has a dead angle for the shooter. can't hit the old Maozi on the other side, but the opponent's bullets can be swept down. The battalion commander below was startled when he saw Tang Juwu.

"If Lao Tzu doesn't come, will you push the soldiers to the front and send them to death!" Tang Juwu scolded angrily, "The division seat has removed the shield on the cannon of the artillery regiment, and a few strong ones can always play a role in carrying them in front." ”

Gao Wenbin's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered to go down.

The shield of the cannon is still a little too small, and the hiding of two people is still too small. Bullets clanged on it. However, this steel shield against artillery shrapnel had no problem blocking bullets, and more than two dozen soldiers advanced with steel shields in their own systems.

Bang! It's unfortunate to say,

"Damn, more than ten meters high, don't throw it crookedly, otherwise it will be yourself who will fall and blow up." Wang Guochen scolded and reminded the soldiers in front.

"No!"

Boom......

At this time, the grenade was thrown instead of the curved gun, which was not as powerful as the shell, but it was enough to threaten the machine gun mounted on it.

Boom Boom!

With the heavy machine gun of the old hairy man on it was cleaned out. The soldiers of the 27th Division in the back rushed to the front and swept the submachine guns. More than a dozen White Russian chaff fell to the ground. Once these dangerous terrains were lost, the White Russians, although taller, were nothing more than a bunch of flesh and blood.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Several White Russian commanders who wanted to rush down to support looked frightened, and originally wanted to rely on their height and strength to make these low-lying yellow-skinned monkeys of the Republic of China look good, but they didn't expect to see such a terrifying scene after only a dozen steps. The other side has the kind of guy who has never seen it. It's completely a hand-held submachine gun, sweeping people down, and the bayonet is useless no matter how hard it fights. They had also built a new defense, and several light machine guns had already been set up where they had been captured. Fought with the Germans, fought with the Japanese. In addition to not having that kind of large-caliber artillery, the army of the Republic of China is not inferior to the armies of those powers, and it is more ferocious than the British and American in terms of combat. In the final analysis, it is the old powers such as Britain, the United States, and France that are relatively wealthy and sacrifice their lives when they go to war, while the traditional German army is better than other countries in the use of weapons with advanced equipment and the implementation of various war theories. The army of the Republic of China and Japan started in such a poor place, and there was more of a barefoot and unafraid of wearing shoes.

Rome was not built in a day, and no matter how much the 27th Division could fight, it would not be possible to defeat the tower city garrisoned by 20,000 troops in one day without the help of planes and mortars.

The 27th Division was only limited by the lack of effective offensive means such as mortars, but some of the White Russians could no longer calm down after being attacked by the combined artillery group of the 27th Division. Although it can stabilize its position for the time being, the strength of the Republic of China army has been seen by everyone, if it is not for the fact that there is still a place to defend, even these White Russian military officers will not be able to defeat the opponent head-on.

At the same time, there were still many White Russians who fled from the south into Tacheng, and in addition to the vast majority of the real fugitive population, there were also very few people with ulterior motives.

"Damn Bachiqi, who led us all the way to be chased here by the Soviet army, it is clear that the Republic of China has accepted us and promised to lend me food, but now it is good, not only is there no only way to live, but it has provoked such a powerful enemy."

"That's it, Bachiqi is crazy alone, do you want tens of thousands of us to be buried with him alone?"

"That is, we are already some refugees who have escaped from Russia, and the newly established Soviet cannot tolerate us, and now he has offended the Republic of China in the south, what should we do in the future?"

Originally, after suffering a fierce attack by the 27th Division, the Russians in Tacheng were greatly touched, and at this time, under the vigorous promotion of a very small number of White Russians, a feeling of extreme dissatisfaction with Bachiqi was brewing among the tens of thousands of Russians in Tacheng. After all, survival is the first need, and Yang Zengxin is a master of playing this kind of power trick, maybe it won't be long before the situation in Tacheng is calmed down.

…………….

Compared to usual. At this time, although the north and the south of the Republic of China were still not unified, the strength of the central government was already undisputed. Jiangxi and Jiangsu have resumed their efforts to relieve the central government, and have actively responded to the central government's measures to abolish the central government's efforts to cut the amount of money, while as for Anhui, even Cao Kun has relented to the central government. Having seen the strong force of the original Northeast Army attacking Zhang Huaizhi in Shandong, Cao Rui could not raise any ability to resist the central government, and in the case of the central government's intention to pull the bias, Zhang Wensheng still presided over the situation of the Xin'an Wu Army, and his position was still pressed by Wu Peifu, and Wu Peifu had the ability to change to Cao Rui, who was far inferior to Cao Kun's superiors, and it was difficult for him to get ahead for a while.

"Master, have you heard of it, I'm afraid that the north is going to fight. The Hubei army, the Anhui army, the Shaanxi army, and even the Hunan army further south were all drawn and marched north, counting the original 100,000 horses of the Northeast Army, and this Yushuai piled up no less than 200,000 horses in Outer Mongolia and the Northeast. ”

Hefei is no better than Zhili, and the snow melted earlier. The sky was gray, and in the morning it began to drizzle. Zhang Fulai has always been strict with himself under Wu Peifu, the military uniform on his body is neatly dressed, and he has not been affected much by the rain outside, the third division has always been Cao Kun's heart, and it is already one of the elite in the south, but since the southern transfer. The Third Division was somewhat marginalized, if it weren't for Cao Kun still thinking about his relationship with the Third Division, Cao Ruicai, who had always been obsessed with making money, and had never liked Wu Peifu, would not have looked at the Third Division squarely.

"Yes, this Qin Yu is much tougher than Duan Hefei." Wu Peifu laughed rather frustratedly. At the beginning, he grabbed Duan Qirui's pigtails and attacked them wantonly, and made a lot of accusatory remarks against Duan Qirui, and once had the idea of encouraging Cao Kun to replace Duan Qirui, but this idea was cut off by Qin Yu. How did he not know the fierceness of the Northeast Army, Wu Peifu had the idea of joining Anhui to resist Feng and prevent the Northeast Army from entering the customs, but he did not expect that the army with a great reputation turned out to be a silver-like wax spear, and it was defeated in less than three days, which really caught people off guard.

"What does Shizuo think of this battle?" Zhang Fulai asked in a low voice.

"I have never heard of a war of more than 200,000 people in the Republic of China, and China has never experienced this level of war in recent decades. Wu Peifu shrugged his shoulders, although he was the first general under Cao Kun, he only directly commanded 20,000 troops at most, and he couldn't say anything about this kind of large-scale war, "I'm afraid that I can't be united in a war, Qin Yu's Northeast Army heard that there are more than 200,000, and if you don't use some of the Northeast Army, you are also afraid that it will hurt your vitality, and it will be difficult to control the Guannei." The Hubei army, the Anhui army, the Hunan army, the Soviet army, the Jiangxi army, and the Shaanxi army were all mobilized, and they didn't fight well, that is, they were confused. The soviets have recently risen, not the Protectors. Qin Yu is not Duan Hefei, he has long seen the army mixed up, and personally went to Kulun to sit in the formation, the ace division in his hand either entered Xinjiang or Mongolia, and they were all transferred to the front line, this wrist is not comparable to Duan Hefei, and the attitude is so tough, I think this battle is hanging, and the outcome is unpredictable. ”

"Shizuo, the lowly position is not to ask about this matter, I heard that Zhong Shuai sent someone to Anhui to intercede for Qin Yu, and wanted to transfer our division to Outer Mongolia, ask the meaning of the division, the lowly position is to ask how this matter is, you see that Cao Rui has no heart to tolerate people, Anhui is a province, the factions are leaning, Zhang Wensheng has long fallen to the central side, if we draw a clear line with the central government, the third division, which is not easy to be pulled up, will not be divided by the edges, our army in the first few months has only taken seven or eight percent, and it has not yet arrived last month, If the Third Division stays in Anhui any longer, I am afraid that if others do it, the morale of the people below will collapse. ”

Zhang Fulai said worriedly. Originally, in addition to the Northeast Army in the north, it could be regarded as an ace army, but since it was brought to Anhui by Cao Rui, it has become a commodity that grandpa does not hurt and grandma does not love, and even the army has no guarantee several times.

Wu Peifu was silent for a while, how Wu Peifu couldn't see the situation of the Third Division at this time, but he didn't have a way, "At the beginning, Qin Yu waved his hand and drove the Third Division to Anhui, but now when he encounters a war, he thinks of our Third Division, what kind of reasoning does he think of, what does the Third Division regard?" ”

"Shizao, the third division was trained by you, and you can't watch the third division collapse like this, besides, Zhong Shuai has a good relationship with Qin Yu now, presumably the central government will not treat the third division badly. Qin Yu also gave the teacher a favor this time, if the central government issued an order, Cao Rui's courage would not say a word, and Zhang Wensheng would have softened a long time ago. With the ability of the teacher, as long as you go north, sooner or later you will have to get ahead, so why make a mistake in Anhui. Zhang Fulai said anxiously, he is a general, his mind is not as complicated as those politicians, and he will be abandoned here, and those sons and daughters under him are all good soldiers, so they can't just fall in Anhui.

"It's okay if you want me to go to Outer Mongolia to fight Lao Maozi, but I won't bow my head to Qin Yu. Bring the 3rd Division around, and unless he admits his mistake to me, I will immediately go north. If Qin Yu has a big shelf, then you can go to Outer Mongolia by yourself, I'm a little sleepy, you can discuss it with Jichen. Wu Peifu sighed and said, his own honor and disgrace are small, but the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Third Division cannot be folded in his hands alone.

"Master, you, alas!" Zhang Fulai had to persuade a few more words, seeing that Wu Peifu waved his hand, he could only sigh, with Qin Yu's status at this time, he controlled several northern provinces, which was more stable than Yuan Shikai's position back then, and it was almost unimaginable for him to bow his head to a division commander, even Cao Kun, the current president Xu Shichang did not have this ability. No matter how elite the Third Division is, it is slightly worse than the Jiangbei Army, but Zhang Fulai also believes that this is because the Northeast Army is more sophisticated, and the Third Division must be equipped well, and the Third Division is not inferior to any troops. He has been following Wu Peifu for a long time, and he knows Wu Peifu's temper, once he decides, the nine cows will not be able to pull it back.

Out of Wu Peifu's house, Li Jichen and others surrounded him and asked Zhang Fulai about the results, and after hearing the conditions proposed by Wu Peifu, they all shook their heads and sighed, obviously thinking that it was impossible.

"The division seat can't bear to be buried in Anhui, how can we bear to abandon the division seat and go north? I have to persuade the division again, and if the third division stays in Anhui again, I am afraid that the morale of this army will really collapse. ”

"But this teacher's temper is also famous, who of us can persuade him? It stands to reason that this time Yu Shuai asked Zhong Shuai to send someone over to intercede, which can be regarded as giving face to the third division, and then letting Yu Shuai publicly bow to the division, isn't this a slap in the face? Yu Shuai is now the Minister of National Defense, in charge of the country's soldiers and horses, even the president has to look at his face, the power is so big that it is beyond the boundaries of Duan Hefei back then, I don't think this matter is scored. Luan Yuchang of the artillery regiment said with a straight sigh when he heard it. (To be continued......)
