late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 520 Meat Grinder Xiao Jinzhen

The Qing army rushed forward and occupied Taichang Town and Zhengping Town. It seemed that they won the victory without using swords or guns, but it also disrupted Xu Zhanbiao's deployment.In order to prevent Dong Zhiyuan's Muslims from fleeing in the direction of Jinji Fort, the Qing army on the left launched an offensive in advance, launching a fierce attack on Ma Zhenghe's Hui army, and Xiao Jinzhen became the front line of the battle.

Every narrow pass, corpses piled up, and the battlefield like a meat grinder tested the nerves of Commander Guo Baochang.

The gunfire was rumbling, and the gunpowder smoke had not yet cleared. The Qing army, holding high the snow-capped lion flag, charged towards the fortress with wooden ladders. The gunshots sounded like popping beans, and thousands of Qing soldiers climbed like ants.

It is not an exaggeration to be in a horrible hell in the bloody scene of returning to the army rather than surrender.Fortresses vary in size, with hundreds or thousands of people in the big ones, and dozens of people in the small ones.But he returned to the army with a firm will, overwhelming the mountains and rivers!No matter how small the fortress is, it is fighting in the smoke. The more fierce the resistance, the more thorough the killing. A snow mountain lion flag is planted on the wall of the fortress, heralding the beginning of a massacre...

The red-eyed Guo Baochang yelled: "Come on, the three fortresses ahead must be captured today. Xun Xi, didn't you say that they were razed to the ground? Why are there so many soldiers on the top of the city? You're looking for death!" [

Xun Xi cried and sighed, "Guo Shoubei, I have done my best. Every cannon was fired at the designated target. The enemy is also learning experience in the battle. As soon as our cannons fired, the defending enemy left the city and hid. Wake up, what should I do?"

Guo Baochang yelled and cursed: "Bastard! Didn't I tell you a long time ago that the soldiers should learn how to cooperate with infantry and artillery. Why didn't I see the shadow of coordination? What are you doing these two days? How many people will die if you are proud and complacent."

"Yes yes yes! Tonight our artillerymen and infantry must study countermeasures together so that the two armies can coordinate more closely." On the battlefield, Xun Xi didn't dare to refute. The soldiers of the Qing army were also afraid of artillery fire, so how dare they advance against the artillery fire? All the artillery fire stopped, and then they charged.Extending artillery fire to coordinate operations is to pay attention to timing, and the tactical quality of the Qing army has not reached that level.

At this moment, Xun Xi thought of the benefits of the student soldiers of the Xinwu Hall. It was so important to have someone commanding the battle on the battlefield. It was only with the commander to point fingers behind him.

"Guo Shoubei, I think you have to find a way to dig the foot of the wall of Li Guolou, and recruit a group of instructors and students from the Xinwu Hall to ensure that the result is doubled. The group of people I brought to Dagukou alone is still not enough. Especially in coordinated operations, the students and soldiers will make the most of the wind, and the instructors are even more precious." Xun Xi offered a plan and sold Li Guolou.

The deputy general Guo Baoren was very dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Brother, you can't do this, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, how can outsiders climb on the head of the Anhui army."

Guo Baochang turned his head and scolded: "Bastard, call me an official title. What time is this? Do you understand artillery? Cavalry must also learn to cooperate with artillery. Efficiency is the root of victory. Get out of here. You don't have a place to speak."

Guo Baochang took advantage of the situation and kicked Guo Baoren's ass. He seemed to be holding back, but he was actually cunning and wise. After analyzing Xun Xi's words, he already had the answer in his heart.The middle-level officers of the army, who are still educated and understand tactics, have a better future than the rough men who crawled out of the dead.Military merit is the way to promotion, but the overall quality of a person is also an important measure.Like Li Guolou, it is a good move to train new Wutang student soldiers from the very beginning.Moreover, people's hearts are easier to control. Guo Baochang praised Li Guolou's sinister intentions, and he has already used the supervisor's move.

"Yes! Guo Shoubei." Guo Baoren was obedient, and took a step back. You don't need cavalry to climb the top of the wall, so don't talk too much if you don't understand.

Seeing that there were very few people resisting by the Hui army on the top of the wall, Guo Baochang waved his hand and said, "Chief Peng, this fortress is handed over to you."

"Yes! I will definitely take this fortress." Chieftain Peng Dingyue waved his hand to let his second son Peng Siyuan lead two hundred soldiers to charge.This is the strategy he came up with, let the five sons who are capable go to the battlefield in turn, and whoever is the bravest and survives will pass on the chieftain's seat.He stood behind and watched, and he could see which son was the strongest. The son who hid behind the soldiers was not very promising, and he would not be supported by the soldiers.

Peng Siyuan didn't even look at the faces of his brothers, and shouted: "You guys go hunting with me."

Peng Siyuan had read books, and in a short time he figured out the rules for using howitzers. He organized more than 200 soldiers into a formation, took a howitzer, and rushed to the fortress.

"Stop moving forward, put the howitzer here." Peng Siyuan estimated the distance, adjusted the angle of the muzzle at a distance of 100 meters from the fort, and shouted: "Boys, charge me."

The native soldiers rushed to the fort with the wooden ladder on their shoulders. Peng Siyuan fired the cannon himself, and the first cannon landed on the top of the city. He ordered: "Fire ten cannons for me." Upper city head.This is the moment when his father, Peng Dingyue, tested him. If he dared not climb the wall, he was a worthless son. He had to be braver and smarter than other brothers. He was an all-rounder who knew how to fight.Only one person can sit on the chieftain's throne. If he wants to sit on the chieftain's seat, he must let his father see that he is different and superior to others.

Peng Siyuan braved the rain of guns to climb to the top of the city, put a peng on the top of the wall, and the soldiers gathered around him, fighting for the honor of the soldiers, a nation chooses its own leader.Peng Siyuan looked at the bloody slaughter in the fortress, looked up to the sky and laughed, he won the victory, and the new national hero of the Tu people was named Peng Siyuan.

The local soldiers and the soldiers fought for the unification of the Qing Dynasty regardless of remuneration, and made indelible contributions. They also allowed the Qing Dynasty to change the national policy of land return and implement it in different areas.Some areas still maintain the chieftain policy, and the ethnic minorities who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight are completely reduced to the jurisdiction of the local government, and they pay taxes as before.

Guo Baochang held up the binoculars and praised: "Well, it's not bad, Peng Siyuan can use howitzers, and it's a good job to put the flag on it. Chieftain Peng, you have a good son..."

Chieftain Peng Dingyue was the first to plant the banner with the word "Peng" on the top of the city. He didn't look at the faces of the four jealous sons next to him. Fighting for favor also depends on strength, and his subordinates are also choosing to stand in line.Only by conforming to the people's hearts can the family prosper. Peng Dingyue had the answer in his heart, and then handed over the command of the local soldiers to Peng Siyuan.He figured it out, now that the transfer of power can be smoothly transitioned, and when the transfer of power takes place on the day he dies, the five powerful sons will definitely fight and kill each other. [

"Guo Shoubei, let me go to the fort next to it." Mo Baoguo, the Chieftain of the Cubing Army, was about to move, and fell in love with another fort.Climbing to the top of the city sacrificed a lot, but he also got a lot. Next, he has the right to share the property of Dongzhi County.

Guo Baochang glanced at him and said, "Toast Mo, don't climb the top of the wall, this is an order."

/>

Mo Baoguo led the way and left, soldiers swarmed towards the top of the city, with a black and thin body and a poor fighting spirit.A nation that likes to eat snakes and worships the moon, holds high a simple knife, a weapon made by the soldiers themselves, and kills people in the most cruel way.

Soldiers like ants, the value of their existence is the sword in the hands of the master, fighting for glory.Bing is short in stature and climbs the wooden ladder very fast. In their eyes, Huijun is just a coward hiding in a cave. In this world, only soldiers can be called warriors.

The battle at the head of the city is hand-to-hand combat. The speed of shooting restricts the efficiency of killing. Huijun and soldiers use big swords to solve the battle, kill, kill, kill!Both the enemy and the enemy, who have no way out, will die endlessly.

Soldiers are good at battle formation. As long as they climb to the top of the city, they can form a battle formation. One person fights bravely, two people fight with coordination, and three people fight with skill.Bing's mandarin duck trio exerts its power, and the tactics cultivated since childhood are deeply rooted in the bone marrow.In a narrow area, the power of the trio of mandarin ducks is brought into full play.

One soldier's rattan shield blocked Huijun's broadsword, another soldier hooked Huijun's ankle with a hook and sickle gun, No. 3 soldier chopped off Huijun's head with a knife, and No. 4 soldier behind him became accustomed to it. Tie a head around your waist, and the soldiers beside you block the returning army's sword.It is enough for them to deal with one returning army, one returning army at a time, and the people who fall every time are returning soldiers.

The battle continues. The brave Hui soldiers just can't kill the soldiers, and the tall Hui soldiers can't beat the soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. With their flexible bodies and clever tactics, the soldiers are the warriors who are best at killing people in small areas.

Soldiers swarmed up to firmly occupy the top of the city, opening up an attack path for the Qing soldiers who followed up. Several Qing soldiers climbed to the top of the city, condescended to shoot at the returning troops inside the fortress.

The Qing army occupies the top of the city, and the returning army has the advantage. The Mauser guns in the hands of the Qing army are powerful, and the guns are fired. The powerful grenades are thrown into the returning army.

The roaring sound, the shouting sound, the loud noise that shook the sky, the earth became quiet in an instant, and only the dilapidated fortress remained in sight.Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, the exhausted soldiers of the Qing army fell on the top of the city wall to rest for a while.Victory is not worth celebrating. For the Qing army, this scene was too ordinary, like eating and sleeping, and it did not arouse people's desires.

The Qing army fantasized about a big city to arouse their inner desires, and Ma Zhenghe, who was hiding in Dongzhi County, could cheer up these Qing soldiers who had experienced many battles.

Guo Baochang put his hands on his hips, laughed and said: "Grandma, if you dare to block my way, you will be wiped out. Listen to me, I don't want prisoners. Tomorrow I will cross the river. I want to see three pontoon bridges in the engineer battalion. The artillery battalion , I ordered the artillery to destroy the return army fortifications on the other side of the river. The cavalry battalion wiped out all the return army rangers."

Guo Baochang issued the latest military order, and the soldiers must continue to advance, pursue new honors, and plant the battle flag in Dongzhi County.The annoying matter passed in an instant, and a new problem was presented to his subordinates. Guo Baochang was in high spirits, and wished he could express his feelings by writing poems and prose, but it was a pity that he lacked this talent.

Guo Baochang is a talented general who is good at making changes on the spot. He knows how to arrange troops at a glance on the battlefield. The three strong fortresses are destroyed in stages in a day.The defensive and delaying tactics implemented by the Hui army were destroyed one by one by the powerful artillery fire of the Qing army. The river blocking Guo Baochang's eyes seemed to not exist in his eyes.

Xu Zhanbiao's army on the left side wiped out Dong Zhiyuan's returning army, and then they could join up with Zhang Yao, the Huai army on the middle road, and then they could advance to Jinji Fort together.This is the strategic deployment implemented by Zuo Zongtang. Every step will push the Hui army to a dead end. He can't help admiring Zuo Shuai for his superior strategy.

Guo Baochang was very anxious, he really wanted to be promoted to a higher rank, and the title of commander-in-chief depended on the head of Ma Zhenghe, the commander-in-chief of the Hui army.This time, deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao gave him the opportunity to make meritorious service, if he can't grasp it, he can only blame himself for not living up to expectations.I was grateful to Xu Zhanbiao in my heart, but complained: "Grandma, Deputy Commander Xu left the dirty work to me, and let Huang Ding and Xiaobailian go to social activities. Robbers and murderers live more comfortably than us. Big fish and big meat every day. What do we have to eat at night? Are there any cows in the Huijun fortress?"

"No, but we still have a lot of sheep, a total of 350, enough to feed the soldiers." The quartermaster said truthfully.

"Forget it, I'll still eat canned food." War can't be eaten as a meal. Guo Baochang, who won the victory, greatly increased his appetite, and prepared to reward the three armies and eat a full meal.

After the smoke, Xiaojin Town was blocked by a Jing River. The Qing army and the Hui army faced each other across the bank. Sporadic artillery flew across the river and bombed the positions of the Hui army.

boom!

But no one takes a look, it just tells the soldiers that they are on the battlefield and the battle will continue.Dong Zhiyuan at dusk reflected the rosy clouds in the blood, and the sunset was like a crimson fallen leaf falling to the ground covered with yellow dust, and the hills under the setting sun turned dark purple, like reefs in the sea of ​​clouds. [

What the hell is that?What is Yu Hui attached to?The sun shines the last rays of light on the graves, and the soldiers of the Qing army who fired their guns into the sky have tears in their eyes. The blood debt must be paid with blood. On the Loess Plateau of the motherland, there are new killings every day. New graves will be built one after another.

The soldiers sitting on the ground looked at the smoking cauldron in which potato and mutton soup was boiled. They were still alive and could still eat a mouthful of grain and a mouthful of mutton.The meaning of living is for the great cause of the reunification of the motherland, and they will continue to fight tomorrow.
