As a Beiyang veteran, Li Chun reacted at the moment of ambush. Under the condition of ensuring his own safety, he quickly organized his own personal guards to go deep into the chaos of the army, and gathered a considerable force in a very short time.

But no matter how fast Li Chun reacted, this was an army of 50,000, and it was a cobbled together army from several provinces, and there were already many contradictions inside. If Li Chun hadn't used the meritorious service reward as a bait, under this kind of high-speed march, the combined forces of the Beiyang Local Army would have collapsed long ago. Now the whole team stretches for several kilometers. Walking in the forefront is Li Chun's headquarters soldiers and horses, which looks a little bit like this, plus he Li Chun still has some prestige in the army, otherwise he would not have been able to gather so many soldiers in a short period of time.

"Li Fuxiang! Give Lao Tzu a counterattack. Damn, we're underestimating! "The success since entering Sichuan has made Li Chun underestimate. Especially when he received information that the central and two-way armies were blocked by the new army on a large scale, Cao Kun's department made it clear that Cai Yi himself was leading the main force of the new army to confront him. Xu Shuzheng also sent news that the new army in front of him was not small, and his troops were being sniped at layers and making slow progress. These two pieces of news paralyzed Li Chun's vigilance. At the same time, since Li Chun led the army into Sichuan, he has never encountered a resisting enemy army, so that Li Chun completely relieved his heart, and later Li Chun obtained sufficient baggage soldiers and horses by plundering the local heroes, and the troops rushed wildly, and now the logistics troops do not know where they were thrown to! Since the opening of the robbery, Li Chun has been a little disdainful of the materials given by the Beiyang buckle cable. His heart has long been attracted by the wealth of the Chengdu Plain.

Of course, to be called a general, Li Chun still has some ability, at least he has a good control over his own troops and horses, and he did not collapse instantly because of the ambush of the new army.

Boom, boom, boom -- the sound of shelling and running around the Beiyang Army's head like a nightmare. You know, in the Eastern Arms Market, small-caliber, low-cost mortars have always been the preferred infantry weapons of the local overseers. Of course, this low price point is compared to the mountain artillery howitzer, which is sold at an astonishing price. However, with the escalation of the war in the Western world, the arms market is becoming more and more hot, and the mortar is an easy-to-carry firepower weapon that has gradually attracted the attention of all parties, making its price higher and higher. Although the Western countries have a profound background, they cannot withstand such a long battle, and their domestic finances have begun to dry up. At present, the domestic finances of some of the smaller belligerent countries are on the verge of bankruptcy, and the country's economy is supported by the large belligerent countries for the maintenance of the materials of the war. Perhaps superpowers such as Britain, France and Germany do not look down on small-caliber weapons such as mortars at present, but for the small ** team involved in the battlefield, mortars are a very good supplementary firepower.

Although Jiangsu Province is a relatively wealthy province in the entire Republic of China, Li Chun's financial capacity is really average, and the finances of the Jiangsu military government have always been so-so. If you want to be equipped with heavy firepower weapons on a large scale, it is just a luxury, and if you have the money to equip the golden tiger, it is better to expand the strength of a few more brigades, anyway, in the Republic of China, the last thing that is lacking is cheap labor. In addition, he came out this time, nominally with the most elite troops of the Soviet Army, but in fact, his ace division has always stayed in the nest of Jiangsu to watch his family! In addition to the first-class equipment of the pro-soldiers, the weapons of other troops are all weapons purchased from China, and the rifling of many rifles has been smoothed. Li Chun didn't want the elite he had carefully built to become cannon fodder for Beiyang Duan Qirui.

"Li Fuxiang, hurry up and organize a commando, let's break out of the encirclement." The gunfire around became more and more intense, and although Li Chun's headquarters was the first to be hit, because of the sharp reaction of the leader Li Chun and the general Li Fuxiang, a large part of the soldiers were united by them, which slowed down the commotion of the troops to a certain extent.

"Overseer, no, General Lee was blown up!" Li Fuxiang's personal guards cried and crawled to Li Chun's side. The wail cast a shadow over the hearts of the Beiyang soldiers around Li Chun.

Syllable! Li Fuxiang's personal soldier's eyes widened, and his face fell in disbelief, he didn't expect the always kind Overseer to pull out his gun and kill him. He was really unwilling, even if he was just a small soldier, he would spare his life, and the rain of bullets just now did not kill him, but he was killed by the hands of the Overseer whom he had always loved.

Li Chun put away the pistol expressionlessly, and yelled at the captain of the pro-soldier beside him: "You take someone to stay behind, and the others will follow me!" Li Chun knew that the current situation could only be that the strong man broke his wrist, and they could only get out after leaving some of the elites broken. Now that they had been ambushed, the troops had begun to disorganize, and Li Chun could roughly tell from the gradually dense gunfire of the New Army that the enemy was even more powerful than himself, although he had heard before the war that the New Army in the Southwest was a new army. But what he Li Chun led is not an elite, once the opponent's forces exceed his own by a lot, even if he is hard to shake head-on, the probability of losing the Beiyang Army in his hands is also eighty percent. Now Li Chun's only worry is that the commander of the army opposite him is Cai Yi. Although Cao Kun and Wu Peifu claimed that Cai Yi was confronting them, who was Cai Ye, it was a famous general that even President Yuan Da was afraid of. There is no trace of a famous general's use of soldiers, how can others know if they want to know.

Now Li Chun can't take care of the soldiers under him. At the same time, he was glad that he left the elite of the Jiangsu army in his lair, and Li Chun believed that as long as he could jump out of the encirclement and return to Jiangsu, he would still be the head of the three governors of the direct line of the Republic of China.

"Report to the general, the encirclement is sealed! Now the enemy has become a mess! Li Gengen said excitedly.

"Great, order the troops to launch a general attack, the rabble is the rabble, we can't waste it here, the general is still waiting for us!" Tang Jiyao said excitedly.

Cai's troops have already been deployed in the Wushan area, and although Cao Kun and Wu Peifu are still advancing, they are currently at a similar speed to turtles. Xu Shuzheng's troops were harassed more intensely, but Xu Shuzheng seemed to have come back to his senses in the past few days, feeling that the number of enemies he was facing was limited, and the advance speed of the Anhui army had been raised.

Doodoo ...... The loud trumpets of the New Army in the Southwest sounded. Tens of thousands of elites of the Yunnan army threw away their camouflage and surrounded Beiyang from all directions. Soon, the troops of 100,000 men were strangled together, and the sound of gunfire was gradually replaced by the shouts of white-knuckle battles.

"Liu Ergou, take your guard regiment and make a way for Lao Tzu." Li Chuntie roared with a blushing face. If he didn't know by now that he had been ambushed by the main forces of the new army, he would be a pig. Now that the enemy has more troops than them, his weapons and equipment are more advanced than theirs, and he has the advantage of ambushing and occupying the terrain, it can be said that he occupies the right time and place. Now his only thought was to escape. Get out of this hellish place.

Liu Ergou is Li Chun's family, and he is regarded as a slave raised by the Li family since childhood, and later after Li Chun joined Beiyang, Liu Ergou was valued by him with his extraordinary skills and promoted to the head of the guard regiment. It can be said that the guard regiment led by Liu Ergou is the only elite that Li Chun brought from Jiangsu.

"Yes!" Liu Ergou roared loudly. Then assemble the most elite submachine gun company of the guard regiment as the vanguard, use it as an attack arrow, and aim it in the direction from which they came. Rapid assault advances. In order to quickly break the encirclement, everything that stood in front of them, both enemy and friendly troops, was attacked.

In this era, although submachine guns have been introduced, because of their pressure on logistics and range problems, submachine guns are very small in the hands of small units performing defense tasks. Li Chun, as the head of the three governors of Beiyang, of course attaches more importance to the safety of his own life, plus Jiangsu Province borders the Shanghai area, and the Soviet army can contact the good things abroad at the first time. When Li Chun first saw the sharpness of the submachine gun, he had the intention to equip a large number of them, but considering Jiangsu's weak finances and the terrifying ammunition consumption of the submachine gun, he finally only equipped a company, and then incorporated it into his own guard regiment to protect his own safety. Unexpectedly, the first sortie of his submachine gun company was to escape with him Li Chun.

Li Chun's guard regiment has more than 2,000 people, all of whom are the elite of the Jiangsu army, although because of the ambush of the new army in the southwest, Li Chun left some of the palace, but now there are more than 1,000 people with him. At the same time, because of their powerful attack power, a large number of Beiyang routs automatically followed them, and the more they gathered, the more they gathered.

Da-da-da-da! The intertwined firepower of hundreds of submachine guns was terrifying, and the soldiers of the New Army, especially those responsible for tying pockets, who had shown military integrity, were immediately stunned by this powerful firepower. The originally thick protective line was immediately torn open.

"Run!" I don't know who shouted, and the Beiyang Army, which was originally running around like headless flies, immediately rushed towards the gap.

"Plug the gap, and give me to wipe them all out here at all costs!" Tang Jiyao roared with an ugly face. He didn't expect that the enemy would still have such a powerful hole card, "Dududu!" The military horn in the southwest sounded hurriedly, and the soldiers of the new army rushed to the Beiyang Army one by one like chicken blood, you know, the soldiers of the Beiyang Army have lost the will to resist, just like a tiger without attack power, this is a naked military achievement! The Beiyang Army, which was originally full of morale, was extremely embarrassed, and many soldiers didn't even want to save their lives in order to run faster. The original ambush battle turned into a chase battle because of the sudden attack of Li Chun's submachine gun team.

"Command the troops, pursue at all costs, and absolutely must not give them a chance to regroup." Tang Jiyao said with a gloomy expression. The original good form was ruined. However, even if you can't wipe out all the enemies, you must weaken the enemy's vitality as much as possible, so that they can't come back again.
