But then again, even though the property in the lair of Lu Shuang Gun is not as much as that of Du Lisan and Feng Delin, it is definitely more than those small bandits’ nests, and there will be tens of thousands of silver.
On the morning of September 14th, a hill outside Hongjiatun used to be deserted. At this time, the hill was crowded with people. More than ten officers of Beiyang Third Mixed Association, wearing gray army, were talking with each other and were holding binoculars to observe Hongjiatun not far away.
"My Lord, the front and back teams of the first camp of the band riding team in China have already entered Dongbagou. To keep Dongbagou, it is enough to break the retreat of Lu Shuangqiang North, and the third battalion of the band riding team in Wang has already outflanked Li Jiacun. At that time, we should launch a frontal attack to contain them and pay attention to the fact that the third battalion of the band riding team will be able to launch a raid from the left and then sweep Hongjiatun!" Talking is the ninth bid of the third mixed step team, and Liu Fuyou is the first battalion leader.
Meng Enyuan also put a telescope in his mouth at this time with doubts: "Although Hongjiatun has been surrounded by us, I am afraid there will be too many casualties if I want to storm!"
Speaking of which, he couldn’t help thinking of what Zhao Dong Yun had said to him before departure. When training in this business, he should try his best to protect our brothers in addition to winning.
This time, Meng Enyuan, who was under the control of Hongjiatun and Lu Shuangqiang, completely surrounded them. They almost mobilized most of the troops of the entire anti-bandits northward detachment, and they also brought mortars and machine guns.
In order to adjust so many troops, Meng Enyuan had to shrink the width of the net to fight against bandits in the north.
Chapter ninety-one Lv Shuang gun two
Meng Enyuan was surrounded by Lu Shuangqiang, who marched in an emergency for almost three days in a row, and the vanguard cavalry was even more directly inserted into the northeast of Hongjiatun. When Meng Enyuan’s troops appeared outside Hongjiatun, Lu Shuangqiang naturally felt bad. First, he sent a rider and Hua Zhenji’s cavalry with the idea of hard resistance and had a small-scale confrontation. As a result, more than 20 people fled back to less than 10 people, and Lu Shuangqiang knew that he was furious and immediately wanted to run.
However, by this time, it was already too late. Hua Zhenji’s two cavalry units had controlled the Dongbagou in the northeast of Hongjiatun, and there was nothing possible to break through the interception in the north and escape. There was a large mountain in the west, but those riding bandits could not cross the mountain unless they gave up their horses and walked, and Meng Enyuan also deployed a platoon of troops there to guard the western hills. It was not a big problem.
On the other hand, the south is Meng Enyuan’s main attack direction. Naturally, it is impossible for them to bump into each other and the only way to escape is the east, which is where Meng Enyuan ambushed. But there are three cavalry units and two cavalry machine guns deployed there, and they are afraid that if they don’t come out, they will have to beat them into a hornet’s nest as soon as they come out
From the tactical layout, it has been successfully completed. Surrounding the Lv Shuang gun will definitely not fly unless it has wings.
The problem that Meng Enyuan should consider now is how to minimize casualties and take this Hongjiatun.
Victory is certain, but the question is how much it costs to win.
"Mr. Liu is still too early to wait …" Meng Enyuan looked at his pocket watch and continued, "Send a team to test their firepower at 7: 30!"
In addition to the two cavalry battalions, Meng Enyuan’s northward detachment also has a main force to attack the enemy. The first battalion was led by Liu Fu, who was in charge of the attack. In the early days, Duan Qirui sent troops to the third association period. Zhao Dong Cloud and Chen Guangyuan were tit for tat. Because he belonged to Chen Guangyuan, he suffered a lot. He just reorganized the Su Yi pro-army, and almost all the remaining old troops were stuffed into Liu Fu’s first battalion by Chen Guangyuan. Liu Fu trained to recover those soldiers’ oil. But he didn’t know how much he suffered, and of course he was the first because of this. Battalion is the earliest infantry battalion in the whole Third Hunchengxie, and it has been roughly formed as early as early last winter. After a year of rigorous training, it turns out that those soldiers were either reformed or trained into real soldiers, which makes the first battalion a real Beiyang new army.
This time, Liu Fuyou’s first battalion was able to send troops to prevent bandits. On the one hand, Zhao Dongyun compensated him, on the other hand, it was earlier than his first battalion. Although he had this large amount of military oil earlier in the first battalion, it was almost a year since he became an army, which is more mature than those infantry battalions that have been in the army for only a few months.
After Liu Fuyou went to fight against bandits, he was also ambitious to fight a few beautiful battles. Who can say that he can’t be a unified leader when the third mixed association expands its army in the third town?
If Lin Yong, Chen Guangyuan, Meng Enyuan and others aim at the two coordinated positions in the future third town, then many pipe belts in the third mixed association aim at the standardized positions, but there are more than a dozen pipe belts, and the standardized positions are only six in total, and the cavalry and artillery are nothing more than Liu Fuyou. There are also several people, such as Kong Tiaobei, Pei Lianying, Lin Yong and Chen Guangyuan, who will probably occupy a unified belt if they are not coordinated.
Even if we are optimistic, we can make room for all pipe belts in the future, and there are only two positions.
There are fewer places and more people, so the competition will naturally become fierce. In this competition, nothing is more eloquent than military achievements.
And that’s why Zhao Dongyun dispatched Hua Zhenji and Liu Fuyou to Meng Enyuan to suppress bandits. The real reason is to let them set up military service and accumulate qualifications to prepare for subsequent training and promotion. This year’s training office doesn’t mean that you have to let the department accumulate corresponding credit and qualifications before you can show it.
It is up to them to create opportunities for them and remove bottlenecks.
This is just like Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui pulling Zhao Dongyun. They first gave Zhao Dongyun opportunities, such as practicing the machine gun team and suppressing the Guangzong uprising. After Zhao Dongyun seized the opportunity and made achievements, they would continue to promote Zhao Dongyun to be the leader of the first association. When Zhao Dongyun practiced the third association for more than half a year, Yuan Shikai turned the third association into the third mixed association.
It takes a process here. In 191, Yuan Shikai could not directly let him bring a HunChengXie even if he appreciated Zhao Dongyun again.
Destroying Lu Shuang’s gun in front of him is his rich opportunity!
When the mountain led his first battalion to send a team of troops to conduct early fire reconnaissance.
As soon as Liu Fuyou left Meng Enyuan, he said to a young officer on the side, "Anpo, what’s the preparation of your mortar team? Wait, the first battalion will detect the enemy’s fire position, but it will be destroyed by you!"
The young officer surnamed Wei, Anpoqian, was a team officer in the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Hunchengxie Artillery Corps. He graduated from the school of artillery surveying and mapping in the early years, and was transferred to the 3rd Battalion of Zhao Dongyun’s artillery corps at the beginning of the year.
At the end of the month, the Third Mixed Association ordered the first batch of mortars from Fuyuan Machinery Factory. After the arrival of six mortars, it formed a mortar team and temporarily belonged to the third battalion of the artillery team, and dispatched Wei Anpo to take the lead team officer.
This time, the mortar team followed the bandit detachment northward, including not only the newly established mortar team officers and soldiers, but also several technicians from Fuyuan Machine Factory. They mainly served as technical guidance and also came to collect actual mortar data, so they improved the design of subsequent mortars.
This time, the mortar team participated in the war with a strong attitude towards weapons testing.
Wei Anpo said, "Lord Meng, don’t worry. The mortar team was prepared yesterday. Now it has chosen a position and can fight at any time!"
Speaking of this, Wei Anpo felt it necessary to wake up Meng Enyuan. "In addition, because our mortar team is training soldiers for the first time, it will be less than one month. At that time, there may be a slight gap between the shelling accuracy and the firing rate. Please arrange it properly!"
Mortar team is here to carry out live-fire tests to attack the enemy, which can be regarded as incidental. Wei Anpo doesn’t want Meng Enyuan to treat them as actual combat troops. If expectations are too high, it may cause unnecessary misunderstanding!
Meng Enyuan listened and frowned slightly. Wei Anpo looked young and shirked responsibility, but he didn’t care. He also knew that mortars were coming to test Hongjiatun, but they couldn’t be expected to rely on cavalry and infantry.
As time went by, the first battalion under Liu Fuyou also sent a team of troops out of the team’s base unit. Two rows bypassed from both sides and the other row served as a reserve.
Hongjiatun is located in mountainous areas and plains, with high mountains in the west, woodlands and raised hills hundreds of meters in the north, and a series of undulating hills in the south, while Hongjiatun is located in a relatively flat plain with a relatively low position. At the same time, there is a small river flowing from the north to the southeast, and large areas of farmland are divided along both sides of this river.
If you look down from it, then the middle of the farmland is a large area of houses forming a village, which is Hongjiatun. The original residents of the village have been replaced by hundreds of bandits and their families
That’s a veritable bandits’ lair.
Because of the terrain, it is naturally impossible for the two platoons to March directly in line for reconnaissance, and the tactics are also different from those of the infantry in earlier years. They did not directly form a skirmisher formation in the wilderness, but took a detour to rely on obstacles to cover their progress, and it is rare to see this situation in the infantry attack.
To some extent, the specific infantry tactics of Zhao Dong Yunshou Third Hybrid Association have already had the style of the 1920s and 1930s. If we can equip the team with machine guns and mortars of 50-60mm caliber, it will be a light infantry in World War II.
At this time, Liu Fuyou was also holding a telescope outside the bunker under the command of the secret battalion to observe his attacking troops.
From time to time, a few soldiers in gray army flashed in the grass and trees in his sight. They were approaching quietly with guns and cats around their waist. At this time, he was very satisfied with the tactical actions of the soldiers, but he always felt that it was not enough to hide the attack in the bushes. It seemed that the gray army was too obvious. You could see the enemy from so far away. Will you find it?
Although the Beiyang Army’s blue-gray army has considered the concealment demand to a certain extent, it is still not a modern concealment function. Naturally, the main army is not as good as the later army that designed grass green and khaki for battlefield concealment.
Just when Liu Fu felt that the gray military color was too unsightly, suddenly a crisp gun came in the distance, followed by a burst of gunfire.
The soldiers who attacked in a roundabout way were found!
Liu Fuyou continued to frown. Although it was only a matter of time before the attacking troops were discovered, the distance was still far from his tone. It was more than 400 meters away from the periphery of Hongjiatun. After being discovered, it was much more difficult to spend that 400 meters.
Moreover, because the platoon attacked circuitously from the west, it happened to be in a short forest. After crossing this short forest, it could pass through a field ditch to cover it. At that time, that ditch could become the best shelter for the attacking troops, but it was discovered before.
The first battalion attacked from the bush, and the left team was in charge of the second platoon. At this time, most of the troops were in the bush, which was suddenly intercepted by dense fire. Although those bandits’ fire could not have caused them a lot of casualties, many people were still shot, and more importantly, they were suppressed.
Chapter ninety-two Han Duotian War I
"If you are old, you will know that you can’t eat well from this side. Now you are afraid to lift it when you are headed by others." A Beiyang soldier wearing a gray army headscarf and red epaulettes with two red lines at the cuffs in the sparse short forest is crawling quickly, with his eyes wide open and his mouth swearing while looking out from the gap in the forest to see the location of the bandits opposite.
This man is dressed in ornaments, which shows that this man’s infantry deputy head is roughly equivalent to the vice squad leader of later generations, but he is the backbone soldier of Beiyang New Army.
Although the man swore, he was dissatisfied with his hands and feet, and he quickly climbed in the right direction directly. Because the man’s position was quite close to the periphery of the dwarf forest, even if he was lying down, it was easy for distant bandits to find him. So soon, bullets were lashing at him one after another, and the bullets fell on his side one after another, hitting a little smoke and dust, and even more, hitting the trees next to him. After flying for hundreds of meters, he still hit the tree chips and splashed faintly. He could hear the bullets flying over his head and scratching his breath.
Being hit by the enemy’s fire and facing the direct death threat, ordinary soldiers who have just trained for a few months will probably have to pee their pants and get up and turn around and run, but in that case, they will have to hang up if they don’t say 100% and 90%.
But that man is a veteran who has been in the army for many years, and he is a backbone soldier. He is not as panicked as those rookies, but his mouth curses "Your mother depends on the king’s eggs …" At the same time, his hands and feet are getting faster and faster, even he climbs over the sharp stones on the ground regardless.
He can’t stay where he is. He is now too close to the edge of the bush. Without the cover of the dense bush, the enemy can see more at a glance. Even if he lies prone, the enemy will not hit him for a while, but it is impossible to turn around and run away sooner or later. The best way is to cross the five or six meters wide area and then enter the ditch, so as to save his life.
Bullets are still flying. More bandits have found out that his bullets are more encrypted. The short five or six meters wide area seems to have become a shooting range. The short distance seems to be far away, which is as long as a century without climbing a meter.
When Han Duotian finally climbed into the ditch, he didn’t care about the mud and dirty water in the ditch. He just gasped and his heart was beating every minute.
Half a day later, he was flat, and he had already broken out in a cold sweat behind him. His mouth shouted, "Haha, the old king didn’t die, but he dared to beat me so that I wouldn’t break you bandits one by one!"
Then he carefully poked his head out of the ditch again with his rifle in his hand. Although it was not easy to find the enemy’s position from the muzzle flame during the day, the number of bandits who were so dense just now must be quite a lot. He soon found many heads dangling behind a row of low walls. At first glance, there were at least ten people!
"Boy, these bandits have the courage to give up their horses and play foot battles!" Han Duotian continued to talk to himself and then took aim at a bandit’s head and shot him.
Missed after the gun! However, Han Duotian doesn’t care that he is not a sharpshooter. It is quite difficult to hit the enemy more than 300 meters away, but if you miss one shot, you will hit two shots. So many enemies can always kill a few.
Just when Han Duotian tried his best to protect himself and climbed into the ditch, others were still in the short forest behind him. They were not as close to Han Duotian, and most people were still deep in the short forest. After being hit by bandits’ fire, they all squatted down to avoid being targeted and looking for the enemy’s position.
