War is war, it is definitely not a drill, and it cannot be a child's play. No matter how well trained an army is, it is a paper tiger. Only after passing the test of iron and fire can it become a real army. Yinzuo is very clear about this point, and he also understands that although the firearms unit under his command has many veterans who have participated in hand-to-hand combat in the cold weapon era, after all, they have never fought in modern warfare with all firearms, and most of their thinking methods are actually still stuck in the cold weapon era, at least It is said that the subconscious is still an army in the era of cold weapons, and this cannot be completely reversed by training. Only a bloody battle with real swords and guns can completely change the overall consciousness of an army.

It's normal that the camp can't be defended, because Yin Zuo didn't plan to defend it at all, except that there were some explosives, traps and other things buried in the camp to surprise the old Maozi, the more important thing is that Yin Zuo He intends to give the old man a ray of hope, a ray of hope that he can stick to it and wait for help. While catching Serev's big fish, he will also disintegrate the courage of the Russian army to break through the siege. Therefore, in this regard, Qi Haoran is not invincible. Zuo originally arranged for Qi Haoran to defeat, but he couldn't lose too badly and ugly. In that case, the loss of personnel is a trivial matter, but the blow to one's own morale can become a big problem. But now Yin Zuo can stand aside Looking at it, there is actually no good way.

Objectively speaking, Europeans are generally stronger than Asians in terms of physical fitness. Not to mention taller, they can also run much faster. As the guards of the most elite troops of the Russian army, the quality of their soldiers is naturally good. This old man runs like a small tank, with a ferocious face and a strange howl in his mouth, it looks terrifying. The short distance of more than 20 meters is only ten seconds At this time, the Qing army was still in chaos, and the beard stubble on Lao Maozi's face could be seen clearly. The guerrilla general Chen Miao swung his command saber and ordered loudly: " Open fire!" In an instant, more than two hundred Qing troops who had already been prepared began to shoot according to the training regulations, and saw the barrage raining down on the Russian troops who were rushing furiously, instantly killing the dozens of soldiers in the front. The officers and soldiers of the Russian army were sent to hell. However, the Russian army is an elite division that has been on the battlefield for a long time, and it did not panic because of this.

Obviously, the shooting of the 200 men under Chen Miao could not stop Lao Maozi's charge at all. At this time, the part of the Qing army led by Qi Haoran was busy with bayonets, and a hand-to-hand combat was inevitable. At that moment, an unknown Qing soldier threw out a long-handled grenade first, and a ball of sparks exploded in Lao Maozi's dense charge queue, and the flying shrapnel knocked down dozens of people in an instant.

"Drop the bomb! Drop the bomb!" It wasn't until the explosion of the grenade that Qi Haoran remembered that he still had such a secret weapon at home, and immediately yelled loudly at the top of his voice, and all the officers and soldiers of the Qing army hurriedly pulled out the grenade from their waists, as follows It rained down on the charging Lao Maozi. Although many soldiers were so nervous that they forgot to pull the strings, the explosive power of more than a hundred grenades was still astonishing, especially the Russian army had never seen this thing before, neither knew How to avoid it, and I don’t understand how powerful this thing is. In this burst of grenade rain, the charging Russian army suffered heavy losses. The more than 200 people who rushed to the front all fell down. Falling in a pool of blood howling.

There is no doubt that the Russian military is a strong army that dares to fight, and dares to charge without fear in the face of bullets, but the Russian army is also human, and human beings will be afraid of unknown things. Due to the heavy casualties caused by this, the Russian army's mentality completely collapsed, and it no longer cared about the loud voice of the superior, turned around and fled back in the direction of its main force. Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky hacked to death two He was a deserter, but he still couldn't stop the defeat, so he had to turn his horse's head and retreat among the defeated soldiers.This short firefight ended with more than 48 Russian casualties, 20 ​​Qing soldiers killed, and [-] wounded. Although the Qing army did not perform well, it was still considered a complete victory!
"Grandma's bear! Well done! Hahaha... When the old man comes up again, he still fights like this, so that they can see how powerful the brothers are, well done! Haha..." Qi Haoran watched as the old man was defeated Miserable, he burst out laughing with pride, patted the shoulder of the soldier beside him who threw the grenade first, and couldn't close his mouth with joy.

"General Qi, there is an order from the Holy Spirit. If the camp is to be let out, can the artillery be removed first, so that it will not be too late to carry it?" Chen Miao saw that Qi Haoran was getting carried away, and hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.

"Ah, yes, why did I forget about this, hehe." Qi Haoran rubbed the back of his head, and then remembered Yin Zuo's explanation before the battle - after withstood a round of attacks, he pretended to be invincible and retreated, smiling embarrassedly After a while, he said: "Okay, let's do it like this, the artillery will be withdrawn first." A chief executive in charge of the artillery immediately agreed loudly, summoned more than [-] men, pushed the artillery cart and carried the ammunition through the barracks, Withdrew through the back door.

"General, our regiment..." Lieutenant Colonel Koniewski, who had returned from defeat, told his battalion commanders to reorganize the team, and rode straight to Major General Buchruski, whose face was so cold that it was almost freezing. , saluted, and said a little nana authentically: "Our regiment failed to occupy the camp, please order the general, our regiment vows to attack again to the death, and will definitely win..."

"Enough." Major General Buchruski waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky, looked up at the sky that had already slanted to the west, and said coldly: "Lieutenant Colonel, it's getting late Now, if we wait until night falls, how can our army stop the cavalry assault in this wilderness? Time is running out, I order the second regiment to launch a decisive attack from the right and the third regiment from the left, Lieutenant Colonel, yours The first regiment is on standby." Although Lieutenant Colonel Koniewski was unwilling, he had no choice but to promise loudly, rushed back to his troops angrily, and went into a fit with his subordinates.

"General, look quickly, the old man is coming up again." Just as Qi Haoran took advantage of his political workers and was busy visiting the wounded soldiers in the Qing army camp and encouraging the soldiers' fighting spirit, the guerrilla general Chen Miao discovered the Russian army. He hurriedly found Qi Haoran who was extremely busy.

"Aha, the old man is going to fight desperately. Okay, brothers, give the old man a taste. After fighting, leave and prepare to fight." Qi Haoran looked carefully for a while, and found that the Russian army was divided into left and right wings. There were three square formations, each with more than a thousand people. They knew that the camp could not be defended, and they did not dare to fight any more, so they gave the order to fight and withdraw.

With the sound of drums, the Russian troops on both wings stepped forward, holding their bayonet-mounted rifles, and slowly marched towards the Qing army's barracks, even when they reached the original attack position of the Qing army's artillery, they did not hesitate at all. There was a pause, and everyone in the army looked calm, with the spirit of seeing death as home, and they just pushed forward with their chests and heads held high. At 500 meters and 300 meters, the artillery of the Qing army did not sound. At 200 meters, 150 meters, and 130 meters, the rifles of the Qing army did not sound, and the Russian army did not stop or even charge. The sound of footsteps echoed in the field, and the ground trembled slightly. At 110 meters, Qi Haoran yelled: "Fire!", split into two teams in an instant, and the Qing army on each side opened fire at the same time. More than 90 rifles rang out at the same time, and gunpowder smoke filled the ranks of the Qing army. , When the gunpowder smoke cleared, more than a hundred people fell in the Russian phalanx, but the Russian troops on the two wings did not panic at all, and they continued to move forward. When they were 2000 meters away, the Russian commander gave an order, The bugle sounded, the drums were excited, and more than [-] Russian troops roared like beasts, and rushed towards the Qing army barracks wildly.

"Grandma, play with your life, I won't accompany you anymore." Qi Haoran, who took advantage of it, saw that the time had almost dragged on, and he didn't want to fight the bayonet with the old man at all, and shouted: "Withdraw!" Leading his men More than [-] people turned around in a swarm and then fled. Before leaving, they did not forget to ignite the wires of the explosives that had been buried in the barracks in advance.

Seeing that the Qing army was "fleeing in embarrassment", the screaming Russian army immediately cheered up and rushed into the Qing army's barracks, some from the main gate of the barracks, and some from the fence. , the entire Russian army was chaotic and there was no trace of a well-organized army, it looked like a group of bandits who came to rob.

Seeing that the second and third regiments had rushed into the Qing army camp, Major General Buchruski finally heaved a sigh of relief, a smug smile appeared on his originally gloomy face, and he ordered loudly: "The whole army goes out, Enter the camp!" The first regiment, the brigade directly under the division headquarters, and the remnants of the Cossack cavalry who had stayed behind at this time also happily called "Ulla" at this time, and the remaining Russian troops happily ran towards the camp, as if they had won the last The victory was average, but at this moment, a huge flame suddenly appeared in the camp. At the same time, the earth trembled, and a loud noise shook everyone's eardrums. They had already rushed into the camp. The Russian troops in the middle fled out one after another.Major General Buchruski hastily reined in his frightened horse, loudly ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and sent orderlies to the front to understand the situation.

"Report to the general, the yellow-skinned monkey buried gunpowder in the camp and dug traps. Our army suffered heavy casualties, the second regiment commander Kosach was seriously injured, the second battalion commander was killed, and the third regiment and first battalion commander died..." After a while, The orderly galloped back in a hurry and delivered a series of bad news. Major General Bukhruski's face turned blue in an instant—up to now, the Cossack cavalry had lost more than 200 men, and the infantry had lost [-]. More than a thousand people, three regiment commanders, one dead and one seriously injured, and several battalion commanders also died. This battle has just begun, and there are only three thousand five or six infantry and more than [-] cavalry left. If you can't figure it out, let alone the strength of the enemy, how can you fight this battle?
Major General Buchruski was stunned for a while, suddenly remembered the well-trained cavalry team in front of him, and shivered suddenly, watching the sky getting darker and darker, he dared not stand on the plain. He drew out his command knife and ordered loudly: "The whole army is here, enter the camp!" A group of dejected old Maozi soldiers pushed the artillery carts, drove the ammunition carts, escorted the luggage and ran to Wuzi Nong In the smoky camp.

"Your Majesty, the old man has taken the bait." Wang Changtai, who was standing behind Yinzuo, was secretly relieved to see all the Russian troops entering the camp, and said with some emotion.

"En." Yinzuo responded noncommittally, but he was thinking about other things in his heart-although the overall plan has not had any major problems so far, the small-scale confrontation just now revealed that the army is training and There are many problems in the actual combat. Although the present battle is basically won, if no improvement is made, if the old man retaliates again in the future, the Qing army may not be able to take advantage of the right time, place and people like this time. However, if a major battle really takes place by then, the current situation of the Qing army is really worrying.

"Pass down the order, call a meeting of the guerrilla and above generals of the whole army, and review the deficiencies of this battle." Yinzuo ordered lightly, without saying anything more, and went back to the tent on his own, in front of the sand table. Standing still, frowning and thinking...

As night fell, the Russian barracks was full of wailing, and the howls and low sobs of wounded soldiers were everywhere. Major General Buchruski was walking around in his tent restlessly, waiting, Waiting for the scouts sent out to bring back the news from the battlefield, a strong sense of uneasiness occupied his body and mind, making him unable to sit down no matter what.

"Report." Just as Major General Buchruski was about to lose confidence, the voice of Captain Sean Hovsky, the commander of the division's reconnaissance company sent out to perform reconnaissance missions, rang out from the entrance of the tent.

"Come in, Captain, what do you find?" Major General Buchruski's face was calm, but his voice was unavoidably trembling.

"Report to the general, my subordinates have confirmed that our army is surrounded. These yellow-skinned monkeys are troops of the Qing Dynasty, and their leader is their emperor..." Captain Sean Hofsky hadn't finished speaking, and Bu Major General Hruski interrupted him with a wave of his hand in surprise, and said loudly: "Are you sure you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Oh, yes, General." Captain Sean Hofsky shrugged his shoulders and said: "General, you know that I have a few fellows who are businessmen under me. They have been to the Qing Dynasty and understand the language of the Qing Dynasty. , My man grabbed his tongue and tortured the news, it should not be fake."

"Oh, damn it, you damn yellow-skinned monkey." Major General Buchruski angrily walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, then turned around sharply, stared fiercely at Captain Sean Hovsky and asked: "Find out how many of them there are, when did they come, and what is the distribution of troops on the battlefield?"

"Oh, general, it's a pity that the tongue died after only half of it was confessed. My people wanted to catch another tongue, but unfortunately they were discovered, and they didn't catch it. Instead, they lost more than a dozen brothers. However, the battlefield I have figured out the terrain." Captain Sean Hofsky said with a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders.

"Damn it, tell me, what the hell is going on in this place?" Major General Buchruski cursed angrily, and hurriedly asked.

"General, come and see." Captain Sean Hofsky lowered his body and drew a sketch on the ground: "This is the entrance and exit, and it has been sealed off now. The number of defenders is unknown, but there will definitely not be fewer There are more than 2000 people, the road is narrow, and it is impossible to rush out; this is a swamp, and two of my men died when they went to explore the road, and the road is completely impassable; there is a river and a big lake here, although there is a road, but There is an army guarding it, um, but the defense is not very strict. My people just caught their tongues here. A small group of troops can get out, but if the majority of our army wants to pass through, it will only attract the enemy's front and rear attacks; Oh, here are a few small hills, the guards here are the strictest, and they cannot penetrate at all. My people tried several times, but all failed. According to common sense, this should be the command center of the yellow-skinned monkey. The Qing emperor hid there."

"Okay, well done! Captain, you have done a great job, orderly, notify all the officers above the battalion to come here for a meeting." Major General Bukhruski shouted with vigor.After a while, all the Russian officers who received the order rushed to the tents of the Chinese army, and each sat in their own seats. Major General Buchruski stood in front of a sketch of the battlefield he had just drawn, and glanced at the officers under him. They said loudly: "I order!" All the Russian officers stood up at the same time "swish", looking at Major General Bukhruski without squinting.

"Very good!" Major General Buchruski nodded and said, "I order Colonel Chuliuski to lead your Cossack cavalry to break out from here tonight, and must rush to Brentuo Haizi Fortress as soon as possible to report the status of our army. General Serev, ask for reinforcements, tell him that the Qing emperor is here, let him attack from inside and outside, and capture the Qing emperor alive."

"Yes, Your Excellency General." Colonel Chuliusky hurriedly puffed up his chest and promised loudly.

"Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky, your men will attack here tomorrow morning, and you must take it with all your might. I will let the artillery battalion cooperate with your attack."

"Yes, General." Lieutenant Colonel Koniewski replied loudly.

Major General Buchruski looked at a lieutenant colonel with a fierce look on his face and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky, I appoint you to temporarily take over as the commander of the second regiment. Tomorrow your men will pretend to attack this small hill. It must be won, but it must be fought fiercely, at all costs, and the yellow-skinned monkey must be beaten to send reinforcements from other places, do you understand?"

"Yes, my subordinate obeys!" Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky felt his scalp tingle when he heard that he was going to feign an attack at any cost, but he dared not refuse to accept Major General Bukhruski's strength. down.

"Very good!" Major General Buchruski nodded and said, "The third regiment and the brigade directly under the division headquarters are strategic reserves ready to reinforce at any time. There is no room for loss in the battle tomorrow, so please do it yourself." All the officers of the Russian army shouted loudly Answer, each dispersed, and prepared for tomorrow's battle.

Yin Shi Mo, the dead of night, even the insects in the grass are screaming tired, the whole battlefield is quiet, there is not a single sound, the night is very dark, the sky is overcast, not to mention the moon, even the stars cannot be seen At this time, it was the deepest time when people were sleeping. More than two hundred Cossack cavalry led the horses wrapped in rags and put on the chewing horses. Slip past the lake.

Although the Cossack cavalry had been very cautious, they still did not escape the eyes of the Qing army's secret whistle. After a "pong" shot, the Qing army's secret whistle blew the horn of the enemy's attack. The sound of the horn woke up all the Qing troops on the entire front. Even though they did not see the enemy there, the gunshots rang out, and then dozens of kerosene bombs were thrown in front of the position by the Qing troops, igniting the pre-set fire. The pile of firewood dozens of meters away from the battle line illuminated the open space in front of the entire battle line.

"Oh, damn it!" As soon as the Qing army's secret whistle fired, Colonel Chuliusky knew something was wrong, and he didn't care about killing the Qing army's secret whistle, got on his horse, drew out his command knife, and said loudly: "Get on the horse, Go out, Cossacks go forward!" I took the lead and rushed out according to the location of the path drawn by the scouts, and more than [-] Cossack cavalry followed suit, raising their sabers and spears together, roaring They rushed to the front of the Qing army. Although cavalrymen were constantly shot off their horses along the way, all the Cossack cavalry did not slow down and continued to charge wildly.

A general of the Qing army watched the Cossack cavalry charge closer and closer, and shouted angrily: "Damn it, hit me!" The revolver in his hand kept firing angry bullets. The soldiers also kept shooting, but unfortunately the place where the Cossack cavalry attacked was too close, and the Qing army had no time to form an effective fire blocking line. It's a pity that the breakthrough of the Cossack cavalry could not be stopped, but after a while, Colonel Chuliusky rushed to the Qing army's front line first, and the saber in his hand slashed down, knocking a Qing army soldier who was trying to stop him to the ground, and along the way Rushing along the path by the lake...
