Republic of China 1927

() The unit disconnected from the Internet just now, and the collection is not strong, please support me, there is another chapter tonight! ! !

The scorching sun in August is like a fire umbrella. At noon, the sky is so bright that it looks like a large sheet of white tinplate that has been scalded.The twigs of the weeping willows by the roadside were motionless, the shadows of the trees shrunk into a ball, and the dusty leaves curled up limply.

Under the scorching sun, a small army of dozens of people escorted a civilian team of more than a hundred people to transport supplies such as military rations and slowly moved forward along the official road.

"What kind of shit revolutionary army, isn't it just as virtuous as Marshal Sun, grabbing food and raff!" A young man in the civilian team moaned indignantly, wiping the sweat off his brow.

"Goofy, you don't want to die!" An older man hastily stopped him: "They beat a baby to death in our village!"

"The people are still the same people, but the signs have been changed." The man wearing glasses has read books for several years, and has also gone out to see some markets, so he can see more thoroughly.

"When did this world end?" An old man with a white beard behind the team covered his face and sighed. In Dongxi Village where he lived, he had collected food five times this year, arrested young men twice, and recruited civilians four or five times.His eldest son served in Sun Chuanfang's army, and his younger son was captured by the National Revolutionary Army. Now there is no news of whether the two are alive or dead.

…………

Soldier A of the food requisition team heard some movement, walked up carelessly, raised the whip in his hand and cursed: "What are you muttering about? Go faster, you can afford to delay the military situation! "

"Master Jun, we've been walking all morning, shall we take a break?" the white-bearded old man said out of breath, dragging a load of several hundred catties for a whole morning, he really couldn't take it anymore.

"I don't know how to live or die, old man, didn't you look at the military master, did I go on the road with you?" Soldier A said angrily when he heard the words, he had been holding back a fire for a long time when he was marching under the scorching sun, and he was worried that he had nowhere to release it.

"Master Jun, I really can't move anymore!" the old man with white beard said pleadingly.

"The old guy is looking for death!" Soldier A sneered and raised his whip and whipped it at the old man. Seeing this scene, the man wearing glasses quickly put down the wheelbarrow, stood in front of the old man and shouted: "Why do you beat someone!"

"Hey, brothers really dare to stand up!" Soldier A greeted with a stern smile, and the rest of the soldiers who were delayed surrounded him one after another, punching and kicking the old man and the man with glasses for a while.

The drivers in front also slowed down when they heard the movement, and the whole team slowed down suddenly.Seeing this, the leader of the food requisition team in front also whipped his horse and ran over, raising his whip and yelling: "What are you doing, why don't you leave!"

"Company Commander, this old guy doesn't want to leave!" Soldier A hurriedly stopped and stepped forward to flatter him and said, "Brothers are teaching him a lesson!"

The white-bearded old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and knelt on the ground and said: "Sir, the little old man is not lazy, but he is too tired to move!"

The captain of the food requisition team looked the white-bearded old man up and down for a moment and said, "You go back, and the rest of you will rest after passing through the woods ahead!" Less than a mile ahead, the official road passes through a large forest.

When the white-bearded old man heard this, he thanked him a thousand times and trotted back, fearing that the other party would change his mind.

Soldier A saw that the old man was gone, and hurriedly asked: "What about this cart of grain?" A cart driver lost one person in his wheelbarrow, and naturally a cart would be left behind.

"You guys take turns to push!" The captain of the food requisition team coldly left a word and rushed forward. These bastards are working too much, and the sixty-seventy-year-old man is also arrested to pull the cart, isn't it? Greatly ruined the image of our Northern Expedition Army as a "mighty division" and "benevolent division".

Several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end it was Soldier A who had to pull up the cart and walk around with the team, who let this matter be caused by himself.

The transport team quickly returned to their normal speed, and even heard that they could rest after hearing about the dense forest, and their pace was much faster.

"Bang bang..." As soon as the transport team reached the edge of the woods, dense gunshots rang out in the woods.The leader of the food requisition team was hit by the first wave of bullets, fell off his horse and died, and none of the rest of the soldiers ran away.

"Commander, everything has been resolved. Twelve were killed, 23 were captured alive, and nearly a hundred civilians were injured. Only two of us were slightly injured." Zhu Qigui hurried back to the woods and reported to Du Yan who was enjoying the shade under the tree. Said: "How to deal with these people and food?"

"The old way, check them out, find out their serial numbers, lock them up with the previous batches of people, and distribute the food to these civilian husbands." Du Yan said lightly, since he left the big army and went south, Captain Du started his old job It was like a fish in water and ate more than a dozen grain collection teams in a row.

Zhu Qigui went back to deal with the order, and Du Yan fell into deep thought again.On the night when they went south, President Jiang strictly ordered the 37th Army and 44th Army of the National Revolutionary Army to immediately launch an attack on the southwestern suburbs of Xuzhou. Conditions, correspondingly, the Donglu Zhilu Allied Forces, which were responsible for monitoring tasks, had to step up their offensives, so that Xuzhou was surrounded by battles.

According to the memory of the previous life, within a few days, the Northern Expeditionary Army gave up counterattacking Xuzhou and retreated to the south of the Yangtze River because of the instability of the rear.If I can't make great achievements in these few days, I can only find an opportunity to return to Yishan.As for cutting off the supply line, it's just a talk. The Northern Expedition Army mainly relied on Jinpu Road to supply the front-line troops. It won't cause much trouble if he wiped out more than a dozen grain requisition teams here. Let's see if Du Fei and the others can find valuable ones. Goal, hard work a vote.

After cleaning the battlefield, Du Yan quickly led his men and escorted dozens of prisoners back to the temporary foothold, an abandoned Guandi Temple about [-] miles outside Xuzhou City.The captives captured by the previous food requisition teams were all held here. For these cannon fodder soldiers, Regimental Leader Du had no intention of recruiting them to surrender, let alone disposing of them.This is not a woman's benevolence. It is hard to tell who is right in a warlord's melee, but as long as it can reduce killing, it should be avoided as much as possible. <Guang greeted him and said: "Leader, you have made another vote, and the harvest seems to be not small?"

"I'm back!" Du Yan knew that there was something wrong when he saw Du Fei's appearance. He probably found some valuable targets, such as military depots, supply depots, artillery positions and even the first-level headquarters.

Du Fei didn't dare to hide it, and went straight to Du Yan's side and murmured a few words in his ear. Du Yan immediately pulled Du Fei aside with a smile on his face and asked in a low voice, "Where is the location?"

Du Fei immediately bent down and picked up a branch, and was about to make gestures on the ground.

"Bring me the map!" Du Yan yelled at the orderly Han Gang behind him, and Han Gang quickly took out a [-]/[-] military map of Xuzhou's suburbs from his military bag.This map was also given to him by Dong Chunke, and it is said that it was obtained from Japan.This is also the sorrow of the Chinese world during the Republic of China. Most of the guns, ammunition and maps used by the warlords in the melee were made by foreigners.

Du Fei took the map and unfolded it. After searching for a while, he pointed to a village and said, "It's Zhaojia Village. The artillery emplacements are located in the north of the village."

"About fifteen miles from here, how many cannons are there? Specifications and models? How many troops are on guard?" Du Yan asked after calculating the distance with gestures on the map.

Du Fei thought for a while before answering: "I didn't dare to get too close. It seems that there are only a dozen or so doors. The size and style are similar to those of our artillery battalion. The strength of the alert troops should not exceed two companies."

"According to the location, it should be the artillery battalion of the enemy's 44th Army." Du Yan nodded and said, the 44th Army's layout is the most peripheral. .

Since the founding of the Republic of China, Huaxia's army has been fighting more and more, from 60 to 200 in the early years of the Republic of China, and now the two camps of the North and the South alone add up to nearly 75 million.However, the army’s equipment, especially heavy firepower, is getting less and less. The old Beiyang’s army divisions followed the international trend at that time. The standard equipment was an artillery regiment, with 36 75mm mountain guns and 18 75mm field guns. However, more than ten years later, today’s Except for Fengjun and Jinsuijun, two military groups that have their own arsenals, the artillery of the other major factions is in short supply.Take the National Revolutionary Army as an example. Except for the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth main forces, the rest of the armies basically have at most one 36mm mountain artillery battalion. Even if they have an artillery regiment, they are only equipped with [-] mountain artillery.

Du Yan carefully looked at the terrain around the enemy's artillery camp and said: "This time it is relatively open. With our strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to eat the opponent's artillery camp!"

Du Fei pondered for a long time before adding: "However, it seems that there is still a group of enemy cavalry stationed a few miles away from Zhaojia Village."

"Cavalry? How many troops are there?" Du Yan hurriedly asked, even if he killed the opponent's artillery battalion, it would be dangerous if he was bitten by the cavalry in this plain area.

Du Fei shook his head and said: "I just saw it from a distance, at least one row or more."

Du Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "Choose a few brothers with better skills, and I'll go there myself!" Right now they are in the hinterland of the enemy's tens of thousands of troops, without enough information, Du Yan will not use the temperament of his brothers Just kidding.

More than an hour later, Du Yan returned to Guandi Temple with enough information, and immediately summoned Zhu Qigui, Du Fei, Li Yifeng (deputy captain of the teaching team), Zhou Bolan (commander of the machine gun company) and others to arrange for the attack, retreat, and support. tactics.

According to the results of Du Yan's reconnaissance, this time it is indeed the 44th Army's mountain artillery battalion, equipped with 75 12mm mountain artillery made in Shanghai, and the security force is two infantry companies that are not fully established. There are more than 44 cavalry in a cavalry battalion that is not full.
