In August, the fiery red sun shines on the earth, and you can occasionally see some yellowing grass on the Gobi desert on both sides. Fortunately, it is not winter at this time. Otherwise, with the northwest wind and the sky full of yellow sand, it is easy to lose your direction. In addition, the road is not obvious, so once you get lost, you may never come back.
"Follow me! He! He's going so far away to attack a small county. What do you think?"
The rough man on the horse cursed and took a sip from time to time to spit out the sand in his mouth.
"Everyone speed up the march, otherwise, we will all eat sand tonight!"
The brigade commander cursed a few times, and when he saw a soldier who was marching slowly, he whipped him with a horsewhip!
ah! !
The soldier screamed and fell to the ground.
"What do you call it! You're just as slow as him! Get up!"
The soldier quickly got up, put the gun behind him and hurriedly caught up with the team.
However, 60% of the chaotic marching team had no advanced weapons. The cavalry all wore sabers, and some carried large blades on their backs.
On the other side, Feng's troops who set out from Jincheng seemed to be much better equipped. 50% of the soldiers were carrying Shui Lianzhu, and their military appearance was completely different from that of the enemy from Qing Province. Elites are visible to the naked eye, but there is no light in the eyes of these soldiers...
On the 23rd, Zhang Yuntai finally received military information about the enemy from the scouts. As early as the evening of the 19th, the First Division was already in place and sent out several groups of scouts to search around.
Zhang Yuntai adjusted his glasses and put his hands behind his back: "I originally thought this army would march quickly, but I didn't expect that the five-day trip would take eight days. It seems that the commander is right, these warlords are all paper tigers!"
"Let's talk about it, how should we fight?"
Zhang Xu is currently serving as the commander of the 1st Division. He first stood up and said: "Division Commander, the commander means a quick decisive battle, so our army cannot engage in tug-of-war, but must engage in mobile warfare to quickly annihilate one of its units."
Ma Hao shook his head: "In my opinion, our army has advantages in terrain. If we want to quickly eliminate the enemy, we must engage in an ambush and annihilate part of the enemy's army. Then we can concentrate our superior forces, surround the enemy, and cover the enemy with firepower. Everyone. Look here, this is a mountain pass, ordinary people will not notice it at all. If we can lure them in here, we only need to block the mountain pass with heavy firepower. There is a narrow strip inside, and we can easily annihilate the enemy."
Zhang Yuntai looked at the place pointed by Ma Hao on the map. Sure enough, the mountain pass here was dangerous. There were almost no shelters to avoid when entering the mountain pass. There were slopes on both sides. Moreover, it was difficult to march here because it led directly to the rear of one's own position.
"It makes sense. It seems we have to find a way to attract the enemy to attack in this direction."
…
On the evening of the 23rd, Zhang Weixi from the Jincheng direction led a brigade to camp near Liupan Mountain. An infantry brigade and a cavalry brigade under Ma Qi arrived, and the two parties were stationed together.
Zhang Weixi's command ability is limited, but after looking at the map, he immediately discovered this shortcut that could be bypassed directly. Once he succeeds, the thousands of people on the opposite side will all be his own credit.
As the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, Zhang Weixi immediately sent soldiers to investigate the other side.
News soon came that the enemy's main force was basically defending near another eastbound avenue, and there was only one platoon near the pass of Duijian Pass. Presumably, the enemy thought it was unlikely that they would attack from here.
Zhang Weixi quickly took the bait.
On the morning of the 24th, Zhang Weixi sent one of his brigade and Ma Qi's regiment to attack the 1st Division position, while on the other side he sent one of Ma Qi's regiment and a cavalry brigade and cavalry regiment!
Zhang Weixi knew that since the opponent had arranged a force here, he must be on guard. In this case, he should break through with heavy troops, use the mobility of the cavalry to quickly penetrate and attack Huanglong!
On the case Yamaguchi.
Ma Qi's brigade commander led a regiment and a cavalry brigade to attack.
The troops defending here are Zhang Xu's troops from the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division. In the entire mountain pass, the Regiment is not defending a company, but an entire battalion. One battalion has assembled most of the heavy firepower, and there are three battalions in the rear. More than four thousand people!
The troops hid themselves by digging trenches and mixed with weeds. As long as the 224th Company responsible for seduction introduced the enemy, they would close the door and beat the dogs! There is a mountain artillery camp on the position not far away!
Brigadier Ma continued to advance with the infantry regiment. Finally, when he was 350 meters away from the mountain pass, he heard the sound of gunfire. In an instant, the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the mountain stream!
Break, break, break! !
Machine gun bullets passed over Brigadier Ma's head, scaring him so much that he quickly fell down.
"nnd, how come these idiots are so accurate with their marksmanship?"
Brigadier Ma glanced around and realized that he had lost a platoon just after the exchange of fire! And I haven’t seen the other person yet!
"Asshole! Shoot for me, shoot! Don't retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed! Anyone who dares to retreat will be ransacked when I get back!"
The soldiers who had flinched a little were very angry when they heard this, but they still obeyed the order and began to slowly move forward.
On the other side, Zhang Weixi once again saw the enemy's precise marksmanship. Even if he was feinting, he lost more than 200 people in one attack!
Many people were shot in the chest, which shows how elite the enemy army was.
Zhang Weixi immediately changed his tactics. Instead of charging forward on a large scale, he dispersed his troops and crawled forward from multiple places.
boom! boom! boom! !
The grenades kept exploding, and Zhang Weixi's offensive troops were pinned down the hillside and unable to rush up.
On the other side, Brigadier Ma finally saw that the enemy troops had retreated, and not only that, but several machine guns were left behind! This thing has a lot of firepower, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
"Hahaha, Sun Tzu's soldiers are not very good either. They withdrew just a short time ago."
The flatterers on the side quickly echoed: "Brigadier, they must have seen that you commanded well and charged into the battle, and the other side got scared!"
"Hahaha, I love what you say! Order the cavalry brigades and cavalry regiments to advance quickly, and the infantry to follow closely. Don't fall behind, we will take advantage of him!!"
Brigadier Ma took the lead in rushing forward with the cavalry brigade. He picked up a lot of rifles along the way, but he couldn't catch up with the infantry. This made him wonder, what happened? The horse can't catch up with the two-legged one?
At the same time, after the Ma Qi Army Infantry Regiment attacked forward, the 1st Regiment immediately occupied the commanding heights through the trenches, set up heavy machine guns, and built artillery positions.
boom! boom! boom! ! !
Xu~~a
Brigadier Ma was swept off his horse by the shock wave of the explosion and fell backwards. He didn't have time to think about it. He shook his head. He couldn't hear the sound at all. He only saw the mud splashing everywhere. He realized that he was ambushed, pulled down a soldier, mounted his horse and fled backwards!
Break, break, break! !
boom!
The crisp sound of gunfire continued, and some cavalrymen and horses were shot to pieces by 12.7mm bullets. Fear filled the entire valley!
