Chapter 24 Impact
The patrol battalion's attack on the guerrillas began at dawn the next day, first Zhang Zuolin's attack from the east, although it was a bandit, but there were still many serious Huai army officers in the patrol battalion, and the Huai army tactics were standard for attacking, that is, a scattered line attack: during the attack, the troops were divided into the main attack, the assist and the support team, and were configured in two lines, and concentrated short and powerful artillery fire to cover the slow advance of the infantry, and when the distance was about 60 zhang, the infantry attacked on both wings.
Wen Yongyu had read the General Staff's research report on the tactics of the Qing army, although he also felt that this tactic was a simplified and loose version of the coordination of the rifle artillery of the Fuxing Army, but seeing the sparse leap of the patrol battalion under the artillery fire, he was very sweaty for them.
As soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one. Seeing that all the revolutionaries were huddled in the trenches, even foreign cannons could not be fired, and all his own people were crawling on the grass, and they were shot by the revolutionaries from time to time, Zhang Zuolin was very anxious. However, he still has confidence, at least Feng Linge has already arranged for him to be on the west side of the guerrillas, and as soon as the signal from this side sounds, more than 3,000 people from his side will also come over, just waiting for the east and west to attack, completely crush the resistance of the revolutionary party, and then clean up the revolutionary party and the Mongolian bandits together.
Zhang Zuolin was thinking about his own plan, the firepower of the revolutionary army on the opposite side did not know how to suddenly thinned out, the pipe band leading the team saw this and thought that the revolutionary party was cowardly, and suddenly stood up and shouted for everyone to rush in, the pipe band took the lead to stand up, the rest of the soldiers were panicked at first, and then they saw that it was really okay to stand up, so they no longer cowered but all ran forward, a distance of several hundred meters was not far, and three or four hundred people quickly rushed to the front of the revolutionary party.
There were new changes in the battle situation, and Zhang Zuolin forgot to think about things for a while, and only watched to see if the four dogs could break away from the enemy formation. Eat some of the revolutionaries. He looked at it and saw that the four dogs who led the team had already rushed to the enemy's trench, but to his surprise, there was no one in the trench. After shooting for a long time, no one rushed in, and the four dogs didn't have time to think about it, so they only took people to rush to the depth, cautiously. He also pointed in a direction for one of the bosses to run to the other side to prevent the onslaught's formation from getting too dense.
Someone led the team into the enemy camp, and the other patrol battalions also rushed forward in a hurry, but their luck was obviously worse than that of the four dogs, and it was also very good. When they were once again suppressed on the grass by the bullets fired, the four dogs who entered the enemy formation only felt that there was a loud gunfire around them, and there seemed to be the sound of electric guns, but before he had time to study it carefully, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and then he didn't know anything.
Line defense is the least efficient defense, and elastic defense is the most efficient defense. This is the basic law of the defense of the Ba'ath Army. Since the Battle of Mukden, the study of resilient defense has been the main subject of the General Staff. Although the western Liaoning guerrillas were not in eastern Liaoning and had not participated in defensive exercises, the summed up tactics and well-trained officers were still able to help the western Liaoning guerrillas quickly master the latest tactics.
The Qing army rushed to about 150 meters behind the first trench, and the soldiers on both sides of the breakthrough would shoot at the Qing troops who rushed in. It was like rushing into a small pocket formation, and there were gunshots from the front and left, especially the electric guns at the front, so that they could not attack, so they had to scatter on both sides, and once the troops in the charge were scattered, they were very easy to fight, and under the siege of three or even four sides, the Qing army that rushed in was soon annihilated. Then some of them were beaten and lay on the ground, and finally they were dealt with by the bayonets that rushed up.
There's nothing more brutal than watching your own soldiers get wiped out by your opponents. Zhang Zuolin watched the collapse of the camp of the four dogs from afar, and he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, he was not calm here. Zhang Jinghui hurriedly said to the herald: "Quick, tell the front, you must rush three or four battalions together, and don't act rashly in small groups." β
"Spicy!" Zhang Zuolin put his hands on his waist and dangled in front of Zhang Jinghui, only stepping on the grass on the ground. "The revolutionary party is really deceiving people too much, really deceiving people too much."
"Yuting, it's still strong in the upper row, and then the team rushes, otherwise it will be difficult to fight." The more Zhang Jinghui looked at this shape, the more he felt that the revolutionary party was not easy to fight, and if he kept grinding here, the more difficult it would be to win in the end.
"Row up, the revolutionary party is all some god bullets, we haven't lined up yet, and it is estimated that we will be broken up." Platoon guns are a sharp offensive weapon, especially for patrol battalions that do not have electric guns. Thinking of rows and rows of birds shooting shotguns endlessly, a person should be afraid of three points. It's just that the range of the bird system is too short, and this shape is not easy to use at the moment. "Go find some shovels, we're going to dig up the dirt too."
Although the Russo-Japanese War did not lead the charge, Zhang Zuolin was in Xinmintun, and he had heard of a lot of tactics, such as the Battle of Mukden and the Battle of Lushun, in which the Japanese used urgent civil engineering operations to approach the opponent to reduce casualties. Although Zhang Zuolin didn't know what this tactic was called, he still understood the meaning.
"Yuting, you can't stop. If it stops, the morale will go down. Zhang Jinghui also knows what this means, but now there is no one on his side to dig the soil, once he digs it, he will dig until tomorrow.
"It's better to rush over on horseback." Tang Erhu next to him didn't pay so much attention, he was a little scared when he watched his people being killed, but he was more angry, it was just a chaotic party of thousands of people, and as long as his more than 3,000 people pressed over, it would definitely be a win.
Morale is indeed important, Zhang Zuolin saw that Tang Erhu took the initiative to ask for help, and immediately said: "Okay, then go and pick a few hundred good horsemen, and when our side is hot, it will not be too late to rush from the side." Sue sΓΉ brothers, the bereavement reward is doubled! β
Defending the east was Yu Peiming's department, and just now he was fighting for a ceasefire on the front line and letting the Qing troops in. Although the troops had drilled earlier, it was the first time they had done so in actual combat, and after the Qing troops who rushed in were wiped out, the secretary of the battalion headquarters hurriedly rushed up to count the numbers, for fear that the enemy would attack again and mess up the number of battles this time.
In the telescope, Yu Peiming watched the enemy formation crowded, the horses scattered, and suddenly felt that the other party could use cavalry to attack, after all, the vast grassland is the most suitable for cavalry attack, but when the battle started just now, Zhang Zuolin was still infantry thinking, just according to the previous routine to fight, completely forgetting the horse behind him.
"How. Is it hard to fight? Wen Yongyu ran over for some reason, he was still in the west to occupy the Central Plains just now.
"It's just a straggler." Yu Peiming said calmly, "Many people don't shoot at the head, they only know how to put the gun." β
"That's how the patrol battalion is." Wen Yongyu had long known what the patrol battalion was, but the General Staff asked the troops to pay attention to Zhang Zuolin, so he ran to the front line. It's just that it was just an attack. Zhang Zuolin didn't say anything noteworthy.
"Have our cavalry arrived?" Yu Peiming asked. The reason why the troops dare not leave here is because Xiang Xiang's cavalry regiment is coming.
"It's here. It depends on what opportunity is suitable. Wen Yongyu said with a smile. I only took out the cigarette in my arms, smoked it myself, and smoked it for Yu Peiming, and spit out a big puff of smoke rings, only to feel comfortable all over my body.
"That's good." Take advantage of the break in the enemy's attack. Yu Peiming sat down rarely, leaning against the mud wall of the trench, greedily smoking the cigarette in his hand, it is not easy to supply here in Liaoxi, and the grassland did not buy this kind of cigarette called 'brother', he wanted to smoke this and then ask Wen Yongyu for one, so as to relieve his smoking addiction.
The two swallowed the clouds and spitted mist. The queue of the patrol battalion was also adjusted, Tang Erhu found more than 600 soldiers with good riding skills, led the horse and went straight to the north, he wanted to rush down from the north when the east attack was hot, so he didn't move after his side arrived, just waiting for the attack on the east side.
After an interval of more than half an hour, the patrol began to fire 57mm shells at a maximum of three minutes and two for the only four Grusen mountain guns. But this kind of shells, which are only 2.7 kilograms and lazy shooting, can't mention the ** of the soldiers' battles in the slightest, and listening to it only makes people feel that they are singing gongs. After beating the gongs and drums for a while, the Qing soldiers more than 1,000 meters away crawled on the ground, because the soapy blue clothes they were wearing looked like reptiles from a distance.
Seeing that this time the enemy was not a battalion of a few hundred people, but a thousand people charged. Yu Peiming shouted to the heralds, "Inform the artillery platoon, fire sharply at 400 meters, and each cannon has 20 shells." The troops rushed forward, and if the enemy reinforced them, then blocked the battlefield with artillery fire. β
The guerrillas had artillery, but only mortars, and each battalion was equipped with four, because it was not easy to replenish, and they were not used until the critical time. After instructing the artillery platoon, he said to the adjutant again: "You go to each company to inform me, you have to give me an explanation, as soon as the cannon sounds, you must counterattack, pay attention to the rhythm, it is best to run after the shell, be fast!" Be fierce! β
"Yes! Battalion commander. The adjutant saluted and left the improvised command post and headed straight for the first trench. And Yu Peiming picked up the binoculars again and only looked at how the patrol battalion wanted to attack.
Zhang Zuo crawled forward on the grass with several other camp straps. Because he was the brother of the commander, he was protected by several personal soldiers, and since joining the insurance team, it was the first time that he fought this kind of nest war in which he could not stand up, and he only hated the revolutionary party in his heart. After climbing for an unknown amount of time, he looked up ahead, but he did not find the revolutionary trench, but only when a shell landed in the trench, only to blow up the mud, he realized that he had already climbed halfway.
The mud from the shells flew up and fell, but it did not hurt the enemy in the slightest, and seeing this, Zhang Zuoxiang only complained that his artillery was useless, and that after so many cannons, not a single one was hit. He was complaining when he suddenly heard a "whoosh... Sou... Whoosh...", followed by a series of explosions, and the whole world shook. As soon as the crawling team was bombed, they immediately panicked, and some of them remembered that they were hit by shrapnel from the shells, and then fell forever, and the others who had seen the battle were all desperately stuffing their heads into the ground, hoping to drill a hole to hide in.
When Zhang Zuoxiang's artillery bombardment began, he was pressed to the ground by several personal soldiers, and his mouth was gnawed into the mud, but he knew that this was the only way to defend against artillery, but he was worried that his soldiers would die without any cover. When he heard that many soldiers stood up and ran backwards and were hit by shrapnel, he wanted to raise his head and shout but couldn't, and his own soldiers who were pressing him had already been killed.
The shell came suddenly, the explosion was violent, although it was only a short minute, but Zhang Zuoxiang felt that a year or more had passed, and only when the vibration of the ground was a little smaller, he pushed away his own soldiers, only to see that in the smoke of gunpowder, his own soldiers seemed to be dead. But he did not have time to lament the casualties of his own side, because the revolutionary party had rushed to him. He was about to shout, but his deaf ears were dazed when he heard a voice shouting, "Come up!" It's coming up! β
This was the shout of a soldier who was lucky not to be killed, and he only woke up all the people who were not dead, but he called Gui Shou, and when he finished shouting, he turned around, and the gun ran away. Zhang Zuoxiang was about to go up with a gun and fight the revolutionary party, but he didn't want a few personal soldiers behind him to stop him. "Boss. Withdraw. Withdraw! As he spoke, the soldier dragged him back, and almost pulled him up and carried him away.
Yu Peiming's expected white-knuckle battle did not survive, after the Qing soldiers were abused by artillery fire, they saw the enemy attacking again in a trance, and all of them ran back reflexively, only those who were blinded by artillery fire and reacted slowly had the consciousness of white-knuckle combat. But this was only a small number of people, and many more immediately surrendered with their guns, which made the artillery fire blockade he arranged completely unnecessary.
The revival army should have retreated after rushing to a position of 800 meters, but the company commander who led the team could not stop the momentum, chased those defeated soldiers, and rushed straight to the front of the Qing army. Zhang Zuolin was very happy to see that his large army was about to touch the front of the revolutionary party, but who knew that the shells falling from the sky would only turn the people who blew up the ranks on their backs. When he finished shouting, he heard a shout from the opposite position, and saw some soldiers in colorful clothes in the smoke of gunpowder, leopards generally jumped out of the trench with guns, this is the first time Zhang Zuolin has seen the appearance of the revolutionary party for so long, but he has not taken a closer look, these leopards rushed into his team, and then a good show of cheetahs chasing deer. He only drove his own soldiers in front of him.
The team of more than 3,000 men, except for the one battalion that had been annihilated before and the one and a half battalions that went to the north, and except for the one battalion that was beside them, the rest of the troops were sent to charge. But now the charge has not succeeded, but it has been chased by the revolutionary party. Under the chaos of the defeated army, this battalion could not hold on. Looking at the revolutionary party that was getting closer and closer, Zhang Zuolin knew this. But he just didn't want to retreat, Zhang Jinghui beside him also saw this, but he was not as unwilling as him, and directly grabbed his reins and fled back.
Zhang Zuolin ran back. The banner held by the soldiers behind him also ran backwards, and as soon as the military flag moved, the whole army moved, and even the artillery behind the formation was also panicked, and they didn't care about tying the cannon to their horses, so they directly untied the reins and rode on the horse pulling the cannon and ran backwards. On the vast grassland, I saw a group of flower clothes chasing a group of blue clothes, the more blue clothes ran, the more panicked they became, the things they were holding and carrying were thrown back hard, even if the flowers and clothes were not chasing in the end, they still ran forward without looking back. It was only when Tang Erhu's cavalry, who was preparing to attack in the north, ran over to suppress the formation that the momentum of defeat stopped.
Tang Erhu's cavalry retreated, and the Mongol cavalry also came out of the camp and protected the flank of the third battalion to prevent the enemy's cavalry from counterattacking, and the battle situation was stalemate two kilometers in front of the revolutionary army's formation. Seeing that they could not reap any benefits, the officers of the third battalion slowly retreated under the escort of the cavalry, collecting the prisoners and the guns and supplies all over the ground as they retreated, and finally dragged back the four Grusen mountain guns that had been left in place.
Zhang Zuolin fled a few kilometers away, and wanted to cry without tears when he saw his rebellious army. can't lose, can't lose, but in the end he still lost, fortunately Tang Erhu ran back and bet on a formation, otherwise the whole army would be wiped out. "it!" He muttered to himself, and then he said, "Pull a ......," and the incessant shelling and the swift and sharp impact of a leopard remained in his heart, no wonder they could kill so many big noses.
Although he waited a few miles west of the revolutionary party, he heard the sound of hibernation guns and couldn't bear it, so he didn't wait for Zhang Zuolin to greet him, so he hurriedly marched to the east.
When he made such a move, he naturally attracted the attention of Xiang Xiang, who had been staring at him for a long time, in fact, Xiang Xiang was waiting for this moment, any army camped down is regulated, it is not easy to fight at this time, only on the way when the troops are not on the march is the best time to attack. As soon as Feng Linge moved, he led his troops to cut across from the north, and the cavalry began to advance in columns, so that when it was a kilometer, Feng Linge appeared with thousands of cavalry.
However, it was already too late, Xiang Xiang's headquarters was approaching within a thousand meters, and the troops' extremely self-heated column changed horizontal formations, ready to start the attack. At this time, the team of 1,500 people lined up in two tight horizontal lines according to the drill code, aimed at the center of Feng Lin's pavilion and began to jog forward slowly.
Feng Linge has seen the world, and the violent impact of the Cossack cavalry is unforgettable. When he saw that the enemy column had been replaced by a horizontal column, he made a whistle, beckoned the backbone of his lineage, and fled to the south on horseback. As for the stunned infantry who stayed in place, he didn't bother to care. Of course, he can't control it, what is more terrible on the grassland than the cavalry lining up in a dense horizontal formation? The answer was no, so he had to flee.
Feng Linge desperately fled south, and the Qing soldiers looked at the rushing cavalry and wanted to disperse with guns, but the distance between the other party was only a few hundred meters. Before they could fire the second shot, and before they could load the bullets when they saw an incomparably wide wall of cavalry rushing in front of them, the oncoming Qing soldiers were only knocked into the air, and then those Qing soldiers with fast legs and feet were stabbed by the cavalry's cavalry sword more than one meter long. The marching procession, which was more than a kilometer long, was broken by more than 800 meters in an instant, and the remaining two Qing soldiers fled in all directions. But soon, the cavalry that rushed through the enemy army was divided into two waves, one east and one west, strangled at both ends, and more than 3,000 people from the patrol battalion on the left side of the Feng army were soon annihilated under the hooves of the cavalry regiment of the revival army.
Looking at Feng Linge, who had fled far away, and the Qing troops scattered everywhere, Xiang Xiang stopped on the battlefield. I have been nesting in the mountains and forests of Liaodong for more than a year, and I haven't galloped so happily as I do today for a long time. If he weren't on the battlefield, he just wanted to run as much as he wanted. People and horses have the same mind, Xiang Xiang wants to gallop, and the war horse under the crotch also wants to do the same, listening to the sound of the war horse under the crotch, he has to try his best to appease the war horse. Then he said to the adjutant, "Release the scout cavalry and clean up the battlefield." Then send someone to Captain Wen and ask them to send someone to escort the prisoners. β
When Xiang Xiang said that he wanted Wen Yongyu to come and escort the prisoners. Wen Yongyu was already counting the prisoners, a small pocket formation, a white-bladed counterattack, plus the previous shooting, a total of more than 930 Qing soldiers were killed and wounded, more than 800 prisoners, and 68 casualties on his own side. Half of this was caused by artillery fire.
Wen Yongyu just shook his head when he looked at the battle report, he was afraid that if there were too many battles like this, the soldiers would become arrogant, and now they dare to run after a battalion and a regiment, and one day they would dare to run after a platoon and a battalion. Wen Yongyu is fortunately from the late Qing Dynasty. If it is a traverser, it must be very understandable why the Japanese army in the future Anti-Japanese War is a squad chasing a regiment. The most feared thing on the battlefield is not guns, but fear itself. Especially after the continuous artillery fire, a group of fierce and vicious people rushed to the enemy army in front of them with bayonets and fought desperately, which will definitely make the Qing soldiers who are not strong-willed and only want to eat food frightened, and at the same time, with such an experience, then when facing the revolutionary army in the future, they will always have a shadow in their hearts.
Wen Yongyu put down the battle report and was about to send a telegram to the General Staff Officer, when a cavalry ran over and called the guerrillas to escort the prisoners, he put down the telegram again, since they all won, let's make two copies of the war report.
The reunion of the guerrillas and the cavalry regiment was extremely joyful, and the round between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Linge was extremely miserable. Among them, the most miserable is Feng Linge, Zhang Zuolin still has more than 1,000 people, and Feng Linge only has a few hundred people, which is still the reason why the cavalry regiment is strangling the infantry and has no time to pursue. Thinking of the incomparably neat and incomparably swift impact, Feng Linge just wanted to run as far as possible. However, when he ran away, he met Zhang Zuolin, who was also defeated, and after a few whistles, this pair of difficult brothers finally got together.
"Big brother, what are you?" Hearing that Feng Linge was coming, Zhang Zuolin was still full of joy, but as soon as he saw Feng Linge's wolf appearance, his heart was covered with dark clouds, and he was finished.
Sure enough, Feng Linge said: "He fucked into the cavalry of the revolutionary party, and then the team dispersed. What's wrong with you, old pimple? "Zhang Zuolin should be attacking the revolutionary party logically, and appearing here made Feng Linge very puzzled.
"Big brother, don't mention it, I was killed by one of their charges." Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly, "This time it's home." β
"If there is anything that arrives at home, when you go and cut off some Mongolian heads tomorrow, you will say that it is a Mongolian bandit, and then you will bring it back to the errand. Now in the five-way patrol battalion, only we were promoted by Zhirui, and I don't believe that he Zhirui will withdraw us. In the firelight, Feng Linge's face was blue, like a killing god who ran out of hell.
