Chapter 60 Is the Use of Soldiers Really Like God? Four

The commander-in-chief of the Dingwu Army and the guard of Haizhou Town, Bai Baoshan, went to the front line to supervise the battle for the first time today.

He set off from Beijing in the early morning of January 20th. Zhang Xun gave him the order to leave the city of Beijing from Zhengyangmen, follow the railway line around Beijing to the west into Fengtai, and then surround the Chang Rui Qing Model Regiment in Fengtai and maintain fire contact. And Zhang Xun assigned him only eight battalions he brought from Haizhou, plus one with more than half of the losses, only four Japanese mountain artillery battalions remained, less than 3,000 troops.

However, a few kilometers away, his troops were stunned for most of the day, and did not rush to the north of Fengtai until the afternoon of the 20th.

The strength of the model regiment was at most a company, with a water-cooled machine gun, hidden in a small forest on the side of the road north of Fengtai City. When Bai Baoshan's pioneer battalion swaggered by, it suddenly opened fire, and dozens of people were knocked down at once! This level of shooting greatly exceeded the expectations of the pigtailed soldiers, and what surprised them even more was that the officers and men of these model regiments actually picked up their bayonets and came out with a round of white soldiers assault after crackling and firing for a while!

Where have the pigtailed soldiers from the patrol battalion in the late Qing Dynasty seen this kind of formation? Naturally, the result was a one-touch collapse, and the entire battalion head was overwhelmed by a company in less than 20 minutes, and the weapons and ammunition were thrown to the ground, and many pigtailed soldiers picked up the bayonets issued to them and cut their braids while fleeing, and the defeated soldiers who broke down disrupted the marching ranks of the battalions behind, and for a time the 3,000 pigtailed soldiers were about to make a big mess...... In the end, it was Bai Baoshan who took his own personal battalion to the front line to stabilize his position, and pressed his team back into the grove with his absolute superiority in strength.

Bai Baoshan is also a fierce general under Zhang Xun's account, whether it is Gengzinian suppressing the Boxers in Shandong, or Xinhai fighting the revolutionary party in Jiangsu, or dealing with the Kuomintang Yuan Jun during the second revolution, they have all made great achievements, of course, they will not be frightened by the ambush soldiers laid by Chang Ruiqing.

After seeing that the formation was stable, he immediately ordered the Manchu dragon flag and the general flag with the characters "Zhang" and "Bai" written on it beside him, and then issued an order to several pipe bands who came to ask for instructions: "Pass the order down and call the selection of the front!" A bounty of three oceans per person, and the head of a chaotic party (well, they are the authentic Beiyang CSKA) plus five oceans! Get Chang Ruiqing, whether you live or die, you will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan! Promoted to three levels!" The pipes shouted and went around to call for the front.

And at this moment, in that grove, the two eyeballs on the head of the 10,000 oceans, were looking at the opposite line with contempt with a six-fold military telescope. Chang Ruiqing had just arrived from Fengtai County with a battalion of reinforcements, and in this forest was a company of Bai Chongxi's first battalion." Cangxi, good fight!" Chang Ruiqing put down his binoculars and smiled at a short, stocky young captain with a slightly baby fat face beside him: "One company almost shook the eight battalions of Baibaoshan!" He is truly a member of our model team."" "Cangxi" is the name of the young captain, this person's surname is Xia Mingwei, and he also graduated from the third phase of Baoding, and he is from Guangxi like Bai Chongxi. In history, he is also famous, and he fought the Battle of Xiangjiang that almost destroyed the Central Red Army.

When Xia Wei heard this, his fat face also showed full arrogance, and he waved his hand indifferently: "Regiment leader, these pigtail soldiers can't help but fight at all, and they still call themselves the number one strong soldier in the southeast with a shy face, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth!" I don't think we should fight any battle to defend the city, just pull the main force out and fight with them, destroy the three thousand in front of us first, take over and enter Beijing City, and capture Zhang Xun's rabbit cub alive!"

Chang Ruiqing scolded with a smile: "You Xia Cangxi, you don't know that the sky is high and thick just after a small victory?" Do you really think that our model regiment is the strongest soldier in the world?" The corners of his mouth tightened: "After all, our model regiment has not been established for a long time, and it is not as good as the real elite of a hundred battles, our soldiers are all new soldiers, and it is okay to fight a good battle, once it is in a difficult situation, it is likely to be completely exposed...... Besides, in this farce of recreating the republic, we have already expressed that we can't eat alone, and we have covered everything. With this credit now, a mixed brigade can be taken by hand, even if Beijing City is taken, can it still be given to a division?" What's not to do? With Yaoru's ability as a big brother, a division commander is not yet handy!" It was Zhao Zhen, one of the four King Kongs under Chang Ruiqing, and the battalion brought by Chang Ruiqing was his. He is a figure in the inner circle of the Iron and Blood Comrades Association and the Red Brigade, so he naturally knows the methods of this Chang Boss, and a division commander is really not a problem.

Chang Ruiqing sneered: "The rice has to be eaten in one bite, and the officials have to rise step by step, and climbing too fast is not necessarily a blessing......"

"Shelling! Hide ・・・・・・" Chang Ruiqing was talking when he heard someone shouting "shelling" at the top of his voice. He hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked at the opponent's line, and saw that four Meiji 38-style guns were pushed by a team of pigtail artillery to a place about three thousand meters away from the grove, and the artillery positions were being arranged. On both sides of these artillerymen, there were hundreds of braided soldiers who were organizing the attack of the stragglers, and two baskets of white flowers and foreign money could be vaguely seen, and more than a dozen knife and axe men wearing big red jackets and carrying ghost-headed broadswords, as if they were the overseers.

"It's still the same as the old Huaijun." Chang Ruiqing put down the binoculars and said to Zhao Zhen beside him: "Let the brothers retreat first, and then return to the position after the shelling." ”

"Commander, do you want to let the brothers rush first? Maybe we can snatch those four Japanese mountain guns." Zhao Zhen didn't pay attention to the hundreds of pigtail soldiers at all, but looked at the mountain cannons with his eyes shining. Now there are also students who graduated from the Baoding Artillery Department in the model regiment, but there is no artillery to organize an artillery company for them." Don't be greedy, those precious mountain cannons will be ours sooner or later!" Chang Ruiqing chuckled: "But it's still too early, those pigtailed soldiers haven't reached the time of three and exhausted." With that, he made a gesture and walked backwards with his retinue.

At this time, the pigtail soldiers' 75mm Japanese mountain guns had begun to fire sporadically, and the shells exploded into black spots on the snow outside the grove, and occasionally a few fell into the woods, kicking up bursts of snow and dust, and sweeping down several large trees, but there were few casualties among the officers and men of the model regiment.

However, Bai Baoshan, who was watching the battle from afar, nodded with satisfaction: "Good fight!" Give the artillery battalion a credit! Sue sù White Tiger, I'll look at him next, don't lose my face in Bai Baoshan! ”

The white tiger was not surnamed Bai, but he had white skin and a fierce and abnormal temperament, so he got the nickname of the white tiger, and gradually others forgot his original name and called him the white tiger. This person was born as a bandit in northern Jiangsu, and after being recruited by Bai Baoshan, he became the number one thug under him, and this "white tiger" was indispensable every time he charged.

After receiving Bai Baoshan's order, the white tiger was not ambiguous, took a red flag embroidered with white characters in black thread, waved it a few times, and shouted at the braided soldiers who were still coaxing the whole team around him: "Brothers! It's time to serve our general soldiers! Everyone follows me, only in and not out! ”

After roaring at this voice, the white tiger took the three white people, squeezed into a pile, and rushed forward with a strange scream. There were also two water-cooled machine guns that were also set up, and they suddenly fired in the direction of the woods, which looked quite lively, but there was no accuracy at all.
