Xu Wei was not without such doubts, but out of his understanding of the camp in Shanxi, he knew very well that if he wanted Zuo Liangyu to send troops to run hundreds of miles to come to his aid under such climatic conditions, it was really a good dream. You must know that when they first arrived near Taiping, they repeatedly sent letters to the camp in Shanxi for help, and the lack of food and winter clothing made it almost impossible for them to move an inch, but they did not reply to a single letter; And then after a fierce battle with He Yilong's troops outside Taiping City, he also sent an urgent report to the Shanxi battalion, and at the same time asked for help from the army to quell the rebellion, but this request for help was the same as the letter for help sent by Taiping after it was besieged. Whether it was him or Zheng Zhihu, even the king outside the city could be 100% sure that the defenders in Taiping City had been abandoned, and they had been left here to fend for themselves by the Pingchao camp.

But now that the drums of war outside the city were beating rhythmically, and the rebel army of one phalanx after another was being assembled and heading towards the north side, what was this going to do? Siege is not such a way to play, the standard siege is generally around three queyi, everyone knows that if the enemy is completely surrounded and does not leave a way to live, the opponent's resistance will generally be very fierce, and the losses on both sides are very large. But if the other party is left with a way to survive visually or sensitively, then the other party's attention will be on this way of life, and they will not resist desperately. "Besieging the division must be que, besieging the city must be que" in the "Sun Tzu's Art of War Army Dispute" is listed as one of the eight principles of marching and fighting, such tactics are not uncommon from ancient times to the present, such as the battle of Guandu in the Cao Ren army besieged the high cadres in Huguan, originally besieged on all sides, and even ordered the city to fall into the pit of the enemy, but it has not been able to attack for many months, and finally Cao Ren suggested to Cao Cao that "the siege of the city must be que", Huguan surrendered. Although these rebel armies are dirt buns, they are certainly not ordinary people who can lead tens of thousands of rebels to make rebellion, and some of them can read and write, even if they can't get in touch with military books like "The Art of War", then books like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" can be regarded as familiar, even if they can't think of such tactics, they have been taught, so they will definitely not act stupidly like now. At this moment, everyone couldn't help but wonder, what is the rebel army doing?

Shi Lidong didn't go far, he didn't even get out of the range of the previous three salvos, and he was confronted by a large group of equally trembling rebels at the westernmost edge of the corpse pile. "Brother! Are you dead or alive? Someone asked aloud. In fact, it's no wonder that people are dizzy, Shi Lidong is tall, but because he has not eaten enough and worn for a long time, although he is not like a withered body at this moment, he has already been skinny. His padded jacket was full of shotgun holes, even a few holes in his dirty dogskin hat, and he was covered in blood, which had now begun to turn black because of the drying, making people look horrible. Frightened by deep fear, he was also the same at the moment, his crotch was already soaked, he was actually scared to pee when the second salvo came, and he was equally scared when he came the third time, but there was nothing left to pee.

"What happened?" An officer ran up from behind and yelled at the crowd, "Why stop! At the same time, he also saw Shi Lidong, and couldn't help shouting, "Who is in front?" What happened? ”

After the previous three shotgun salvos, Tuo Yangkun's officers were almost completely lost, and those who were not killed could not control a group of deserters who were beaten by the shotguns falling from the sky, so the deserters fled in all directions, and they had long since run away without a figure, except for Shi Lidong and a very few people who were in the center of the shotgun strafing but miraculously survived.

"I ...... I don......'t know," Shi Lidong muttered to himself, "it's the thunder...... When you beat it, a lot of people died! ”

"Officers and soldiers? Or is it Xiang Yong? The officer hurriedly asked loudly, but Shi Lidong's head shook, "I don't know, I haven't seen the enemy yet, and many people have died." ”

The knot is far away from the enemy, and the enemy is the most me

The officer and the rebels next to him all showed panicked looks on their faces, the enemy is not terrible, but even the enemy can't be seen, that is the most terrible, because if you can't see it, people will use fantasy to dress up the enemy, and will release the most terrible deep memories in their thoughts and then apply them to the enemy who can't be seen, how afraid you are, how terrible the enemy is.

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the officer looked back, and a herald behind him rushed over with a red pennant, came to him and shouted, "The king has an order!" We must defeat it and destroy all the invading enemies at all costs! ”

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, then took a deep breath and shouted, "Let's go!" Although the soldiers trembled, they still began to walk towards the location of the village where the Tuoyangkun headquarters was located.

"One hundred and fifty meters to the west!" The observer of the special reconnaissance team reported loudly, and at the same time used the compass to determine the direction, "Ten meters to the south, three rapid fire!" ”

Yang Muqin was no longer sitting in the reconnaissance car at the moment, and the three rapid fires just now caused huge results in the shooting, directly scattering the large army of thousands of people and fleeing. As the rallying drums sounded, groups of enemies emerged from beneath the snow-covered ground, and as time passed, more and more enemies gathered together. Yang Muqin didn't see the pomp and circumstance of hitting the enemy when he shot just now, so now he made a special trip to the wall and used a special ten-fold observation scope to observe it personally, after all, it is not possible to see with his own eyes that artillery solves a large number of enemies, and even the army artillery unit of the Senate has been formed for so long, and it is the first time that he has really faced a cluster of enemies to open fire.

The special reconnaissance team members in the reconnaissance car loudly reported the data to Hong Jie through the walkie-talkie, Hong Jie's heart was far more excited than Yang Muqin at the moment, and he heard that the three rapid fires just now directly destroyed the attack of thousands of enemy troops, so he had already asked the bombier to move the next batch of shells to the firing position, anxiously waiting for the special reconnaissance team members in front to send the position. Now that I heard the new coordinates, I shook the calculator in my hand without saying a word, and it didn't take long to get the data. Hong Jie reported the data out loud, asked the sighter to adjust the scale to the desired position, and then gave the order for three rapid fires.

The artillerymen have long been impatient, this batch of 75 mm infantry guns because of the use of curved projectiles, and the range of less than 3,000 meters, can now basically be regarded as long-distance shooting, although it was said that in the attack on Bunker Hill used drones to calibrate the way, but now this kind of manual calibration by scouts is the first time, so they are very excited. The bolt of the infantry gun had already been opened at this moment, and the loader had long since checked the chamber of the gun, and when he heard the order, he took the shell from the hand of the bombardier and stuffed it into the chamber without saying a word, then closed the bolt and pulled the firing rope fiercely.

"Boom boom" With three cannon shots, the shells were fired out at once, and the loaders did not intend to stop at all, but quickly opened the bolts, and the shells inside slid out of the barrels, rolled twice on the ground, and landed on the snow with a rapid snort. The soldier next to him quickly removed the empty shells and threw them into the pile, and the ammunition bearer methodically carried the shells forward, and the loader carefully took them, loaded them into the breech, and closed the bolt. Just as they were about to pull the fire rope, they suddenly saw the flag bearer in front of them waving the signal flag again and again, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be a red pennant that stopped shooting.

The enemy is not far away, and Sun Cha is not far away

"Stop shooting! Stop shooting! There was a soldier's shout from behind, Hong Jie also turned his head in astonishment, it turned out to be another reconnaissance vehicle, and a herald next to him was running towards this side, "Chief!" The Chief of the General Staff has an order, stop shooting and prepare for transfer! ”

"What? Transfer? Hong Jie's eyes almost exploded with anger, "This battle has just begun, what's going on with the transfer?" There is still our special reconnaissance team in front, how can our artillery withdraw first? ”

"Sorry! Heads! I just passed on the orders of the regimental headquarters. The herald ran forward, handed him a paper with both hands, and then turned and ran away. Hong Jie opened the document suspiciously, and saw that it was written by Maruyama. Maruyama was an officer from an old warlord, and although he was very theoretical and experienced in marching and fighting, he did not trust the "radio" brought in by him in communications, and more often he preferred to let the soldiers run around to deliver the message himself. This bad habit drove many soldiers and officers crazy, but there was nothing they could do.

"Neurotic!" Hong Jie said a little unscrupulously, "What to withdraw at this time?" As he spoke, he unfolded the letter and looked at it carefully.

The concept of the elders to form artillery mainly comes from the artillery doctrine of the People's Liberation Army in the old world, and since the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the People's Liberation Army has always suffered from "phobia of insufficient firepower". In the border war with the monkeys, the PLA never spared shells, as long as it felt that there was trouble, it would keep washing the floor until the other side did not have many enemies. Li Zhen, the veteran of artillery, was an artillery officer of the People's Liberation Army in the old world, and at this moment he brought this kind of artillery doctrine to the extreme, as long as Lin Shenhe said that there was a good artillery, he would personally go to see it, and even personally went to the Baisha weapons test site to personally test the artillery. In such a context, it is not unusual for the artillery of the Senate to cultivate the same belief come out, and at this moment, Hong Jie is planning to use the artillery to directly wash the ground for the main force used by Wang himself, and then directly send the ground troops to directly rush up to disperse the enemy.

However, Hong Jie's idea was contrary to the requirements set by the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Senate, which was to use the advantage of weapons to directly surround the rebel army, force them to surrender to the Foreign Legion, and then bring them back to Shandong in large quantities and transport them back to Dongfang Port to deal with them. If it is really like Hong Jie's method of cutting cream with a hot knife really gives this gang of rebels a wave, it is conceivable that the soldiers in these chaotic armies will suffer heavy losses and heavy casualties first. The Senate did not need to be composted, it was useless to take corpses, it was not a charity, and it was of no use to transport back a large number of crippled soldiers with broken legs and hands, so it was necessary to minimize the casualties of the enemy soldiers in battle, and to capture these rebels in an organized manner, and only after capturing them in large numbers could we fill as much as possible the labor camps that had begun to vacant everywhere in Vostochny Harbor.

Maruyama was not only one of the formulators of this plan of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but also one of the proposers of some of the plans, but because of the priority of ensuring the position of the artillery so that the artillery would be at the front of the marching column, his command vehicle was instead placed in the second sequence of the marching column.

Just now, he had learned through the radio that Yang Muqin's special reconnaissance team had exchanged fire with the rebels, not only capturing a leader of the rebel army named Tuoyangkun, but also controlling a good observation point. Immediately afterwards, Hong Jie's artillery began to shell the 2,000 or so rebel troops who were assembling and advancing, and the effect of the shelling was transmitted not only to Hong Jie's artillery headquarters by radio, but also to Maruyama's command vehicle. Saying that the shelling just now made him feel a little surprised, to say that this kind of thing had been carried out many times during the exercise, but he did not know what kind of results could be caused, so he did not stop the first rapid fire.

But now that he knew the terrible power of artillery, he was deeply shocked, but at the same time he realized that he had to stop this kind of bombardment to avoid causing too many losses to the rebel army, and he was not very accustomed to talking by radio, so he wrote a temporary letter asking Hong Jie to stop firing the artillery immediately and evacuate.

"We retreat now! What to do with the special investigation team left in front? Let them fend for themselves? Hong Jie couldn't help but scold, but there was no way, the soldiers had to obey the order, don't look at himself as a veteran, and the rank was not low, but in terms of establishment, he had to strictly obey Maruyama Naoki's orders, so he could only scold a few more words, and then ordered the soldiers to start preparing for the transfer.

At the same time, two rhinoceros transports were carrying soldiers, and under the guidance of Niu Dazhuang, they were driving towards the village a kilometer away. The roaring steam engine, white water vapor and black soot emitted from the chimney at the same time, and the propeller spun rapidly, moving forward at high speed along the trajectory of the reconnaissance vehicle in front of it.
