Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.!

Liangbi learned the lessons of the last failure, and no longer dared to take it lightly, and turned to the tactics of laying the floor, steadily and steadily. After three or four days of hard work, the Praetorian Guard once again approached the outskirts of Jingshi Town. This time they had finally honestly put their camp out of mortar range.

All the officers and men put down their backpacks, and began to dig trenches and build fortifications with shovels, and no one shouted that they were tired. The bloody facts tell this group of old soldiers: the shells of the student army on the opposite side will not distinguish between you with a red belt and a yellow belt! Even if you are the king of Beizi Belle and Doro, you have to leave a bloody hole if you are shot!

After digging the trench, Liangbi gathered the light and heavy artillery of the whole army and launched a fierce attack on the position in front of him and Jingshi Town, and the shells smashed over as if they didn't want money. Under the indiscriminate bombardment, Jingshi Town, which was close to this half of the position, was quickly reduced to rubble, and most of the carefully constructed fortifications on the position were destroyed.

Since the formation of the army, the 44th Association has been teaching others with heavy artillery fire, but now it was knocked on by others, and he was suddenly dizzy and at a loss, and he didn't react for a long time. At this time, the defensive position was the third team that had just been rotated, and the captain Gu Zhutong, who was in command at the front, hurriedly called the guards when he saw this: "Hurry up and inform Zhang Guandao, just say that the Qing army's artillery fire is fierce, and our small-caliber mortars can't reach them, so they can only be beaten passively, please ask him to transfer more large-caliber guys up, I want to beat them up well, and let out the evil spirit in my chest!" ”

Then he beckoned to the other people around him: "Let's go, let's go to the battlefield and have a look!" This group of student dolls had not been through the battle formation, and when they were frightened by this shell that split their heads and covered their faces, they were estimated to be shrunk into a ball like quails in the rain, and they couldn't even shoot a gun. If you want the Qing army to take the opportunity to touch it, it will be troublesome! As he spoke, he forgot that he was also a student doll who was looked down upon by veterans not long ago.

Gu Zhu and others held the Zhonggong 1911 rifle in their hands, and the cat's waist turned into a trench, and then quickly moved forward along the trench. Amid the roar of shells, soon came an anti-artillery fortification. I saw blood flowing at the gate of the fortifications, and there were stumps and broken arms scattered all around, and several sixteen or seventeen-year-old recruits were hiding in the innermost trembling, their faces full of tears.

"What are you doing here? What about hatching eggs? Get up. The Qing soldiers are attacking! Gu Zhutong scolded with a smile.

These recruits were already silent, but when they heard that the Qing soldiers were attacking, they trembled even more, and one of them was so frightened that he peed his pants directly. Gu Zhu went up and kicked him a few times: "Cowardice!" The more I live, the more I go back! Where's your director? ”

The troop-wetting recruit shook and stretched out his finger to the puddle of blood in the doorway.

"Sacrificed? That's a bit of a back! Gu Zhutong stomped his feet fiercely, "Chen Shiji, you are the acting head of the shed." Responsible for bringing these new recruits well, don't let the Qing soldiers kill from here! ”

Chen Shiji, who came with him, hurriedly stood up and replied loudly: "Yes!" Please rest assured that the captain is in the position. As long as I have a breath left, I will never let the Qing soldiers cross over here! ”

Gu Zhutong glanced at the recruits again: "Then this position will be handed over to you!" Let's go, let's go and see those large-caliber mortars, what are those bunnies eating, why haven't they fought back yet? "Let's drill out of the anti-artillery fortifications.

Take a tour of the position. After confirming that the entire defense line was manned and the large-caliber mortars began to counterattack, Gu Zhutong returned to the command post. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Liu Zhi, the captain of the first team, sitting in his seat with a smile. Hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Yo, Brother Jingfu, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Liu Zhi smiled: "What wind? Naturally, it's the demonic wind of the Qing court! I heard that the Qing army was under heavy artillery fire and the front line was tight, so the pipe band hurriedly asked me to come over with mortars to support. How's it going, can your third team stand up to it? Why don't you change our first team? I think that at the beginning, it only took more than ten minutes for our first team to completely defeat the First Association of the Praetorian Guard, and it was completely effortless! ”

Gu Zhutong's face was full of disdain: "Don't be greedy for your own strength!" That's Zhonghe is too incompetent, you blind cats meet dead rats. It's not a martial force to win, and it's embarrassing to show it everywhere. And can it be compared to you then? Not to mention anything else, your enemy at that time only had more than 1,600 people, what about us? At least 7,000 people in four standards, the number of people alone is four times that of you, how to compare! ”

Liu Zhi's face turned full: "Mo San." Honestly, do you want your brother to help? The face is small, the military is big, don't hold on if you can't do it! Behind us is the University of Honse, and there is no room for negligence. ”

Gu Zhutong took a sip of tea and said: "The Qing army is very cautious in its use of troops this time, and the use of artillery is also very orderly, and we have suffered heavy casualties. When I walked around the position just now, I found at least 17 killed and more than 40 wounded. But we're holding on now! ”

"Since the casualties are so large, do you want me to send a platoon to you as a reserve?" Liu Zhi felt that his suggestion seemed to be a little hurtful, so he quickly changed his words again, "Or, let Guan bring you some new recruits to prevent emergencies?" ”

Gu Zhutong shook his head firmly: "No need! Thank you Brother Jingfu for personally escorting the mortars over, the front-line fighting military affairs are busy, and the younger brother will not leave you to do more! ”

At this point, Liu Zhi had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, and before going out, he turned back and asked, "Mo San, is there anything you want me to tell the pipe?" ”

Gu Zhutong pondered for a while, picked up a pencil and came to the map, and said to Liu Zhi while gesturing: "Brother Jingfu, please see, there is a peak with a height of 208.6 meters. Although it looks a little off the battlefield from the map, according to what I have just observed from the position, if a heavy mortar position is opened on the top of the hill, the entire battlefield can be covered. In particular, when the Qing army invested a large number of troops to carry out a group charge, the sudden artillery bombardment would definitely have an unexpected effect. Brother Jing Fu can talk to the pipe belt when he goes back to see if this plan is feasible? ”

However, the two armies faced each other, and nearly 10,000 people fought fiercely in the small land in front of Jingshi Town, even if Gu Zhu and others had more strategies and tactics, they could not match the overwhelming superiority of the Praetorian Guard in terms of troops.

At the beginning of the 20th century, China was in a period of alternating hot and cold weapons, and the number of people was often the decisive factor in warfare. It's very simple, the quality of everyone's soldiers, weapons and equipment are almost the same, when it comes to military strategy, you are Wang Long, I am Duan Hu, you are Xiao Zhuge , I am a tiger cub, you are a crystal ball, I am a little fan...... It's all pretty much the same. In this case, only the number of people can be compared, and most of the victories on the battlefield are filled by human lives.

On the other hand, the battlefield is also a severe test for soldiers. From the moment they prepare to go to war, soldiers face tremendous mental pressure. On the battlefield, the slightest negligence may lead to death, and the soldiers are always tense and nervous. Excessive mental tension will lead to a rapid depletion of energy, so many soldiers have already experienced physical exhaustion before they have officially engaged the enemy.

When the enemy is officially received, aiming and shooting, running and charging, and white-knuckle fighting require more dedication, and the physical consumption is faster, and it can often exhaust a strong man into a mess of mud in more than ten minutes. So really fierce battles end in a short time, rarely more than twenty minutes. And war is to connect fierce battles one after another to torture every soldier who participates in the war.

When a soldier walks down from the battlefield, it does not mean that he has been recuperate, because the mental tension caused by the bloody killing on the battlefield will last for a long time, and many people will experience symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, emaciation, loss of memory, and low mood, and it often takes weeks or even months to return to normal!

At the beginning of the second phase of the war of the Battle of the Nursing School, a team of 400 people could support the position for one day, and by the second round it could only last for half a day, and the time became shorter and shorter. By the eighth day of the battle, Zhang Huizan's headquarters had reached the point of exhaustion, with nearly 200 people killed in battle alone, and the makeshift hospital was full of lightly and seriously wounded and sick. Even the unwounded soldiers looked blank, glazed-eyed, and pale, and walked staggeringly, unable to even hold their rifles.

Fu Zengxiang, the president of Jingshi University, Yan Fu, the vice president, and others were anxious in their eyes, and found Zhang Huizan again, and persuaded him bitterly: "Shihou, do you want to recruit some new recruits from the school to supplement the army?" They've been asking for help! ”

Since the beginning of the war, the students of Jingshi University have constantly petitioned the school and the army, asking to join the army to jointly resist the attack of the Qing army, but they were all politely rejected by Zhang Huizan, and this time was no exception. Zhang Huizan's eyes were bloodshot, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Gentlemen, we can still stop it, and we don't need to recruit new soldiers." The students of Jingshi University are all the best in the world, and they will all be of great use in the future, so how can they be easily sacrificed on the battlefield? If Mr. Sun had known that I had been conscripted, he would have scolded me. ”

Fu Zengxiang wanted to persuade again, but he didn't know how to talk about it, and the scene seemed a little dignified for a while. At this time, Yan Fu coughed lightly, breaking the silence among everyone: "Uncle Principal Yuan, the old man wants to talk to Shihou alone, I wonder if I can ask you and the others to avoid it?" ”

At the beginning of the establishment of Jingshi University, Sun Yuan hired Yan Fu to teach at the school until now. So in a sense, Yan Fu is half of Zhang Huizan's teacher. Fu Zengxiang arrived at Jingshi University relatively late, and when he came, Zhang Huizan had already been sent by the school to study in Japan. Fu Zengxiang and the others thought that Yan Fu was going to admonish Zhang Huizan with his teacher qualifications, but they were afraid that everyone would see Zhang Huizan lose face, so they asked everyone to avoid it, so they all withdrew from the room with interest.

After everyone withdrew from the headquarters, Zhang Huizan got up and asked respectfully: "I don't know what Mr. has to teach, please give me instructions!" ”

Yan Fu said in a low voice: "Shihou, please take a seat!" In fact, everyone knows that the Praetorian Guards' siege of Jingshi University was not because our school had violated the law of the country, but because the imperial court wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Sun Baixi. They knew that Jingshi University was Baixi's weakness, so there was this military disaster. If you want to get the imperial court to retreat, defeating the Praetorian Guard will not solve the problem. If you want to solve the problem at the root, unless Baixi -"

Zhang Huizan had just sat down, and when he heard this, he quickly stood up. (To be continued.) )
