"That's enough! Stop it! Do you want to rebel?" Prince Dun roared angrily. Bai Zhan, who was covered in blood, was trembling with anger. He turned around and walked to the corner of the big tent, sitting on a chair and sulking to no one. Got it!
Fu Qing has just arrived at the front line, and the specific situation is not yet clear, but in today's scene, he, his deputy, must come to smooth things over!
Of course, the prince is noble and cannot be condescending. The brothers below have worked hard all night long and cannot be scolded. This and that Stu violated military orders first, but after all, the battle was won. Now that the country is in crisis, it is the time to employ people. Can he really kill him?
His Majesty's new army only has a few divisions, and it has so many talented people that it can't afford to lose any of them!
"Nastu... tell me, why didn't you obey the order? Why did you think of counterattack?" Fu Qing said.
Nastu bowed and saluted Fu Qing, "Greetings to Commander Fu! My subordinates have no choice but to do so. The enemy force is strong, and the soldiers who attacked us during the night battle are limited by their eyesight and cannot see the battlefield clearly, so they cannot use their firepower effectively." go out!"
"Moreover, the enemy also organized many dead soldiers to charge into the formation. Some even carried explosives and charged into our position..."
"It's not okay to be beaten passively! We are in the light and they are in the dark. We are few and they are many. How many brothers will die if we continue to fight like this?"
"We have to countercharge and fight with the enemy to turn our disadvantages into advantages! The enemy is in the dark, so we can hide in the dark too!"
"Although there are many enemies, their individual soldiers are not of good quality, and they are all disaster victims who turned into bandits and then turned into rebels. Without supervision, the team will be quickly dispersed!"
"So the counterattack looks very dangerous, but it can be miraculous. As long as I find the rebel headquarters and kill all the direct descendants of Guiziliu, the remaining victims will naturally surrender!"
"Fortunately, the Holy Emperor is protected by hundreds of spirits. The fate of the Qing Dynasty is still there. My subordinates have been working hard for more than an hour and finally caught all these bastards... Your Majesty, they are all acquaintances. I brought them in to show you. look!"
Nastu patiently explained to everyone present why he had to disobey military orders and carry out a countercharge. To be honest, his reasoning was really persuasive!
After the war, the Chinese General Staff reviewed this battle many times. Eighty percent of the Chinese staff agreed with Nastu's tactics!
Regardless of whether Nastu is a nail or not, at least in military terms this style of play is much better than Prince Dun's!
The Xishan Camp and the Yulin New Army were both the most elite new armies of the Qing Dynasty, and Guaizima was also selected to dare to fight against the wild Jurchens near the Xing'an Mountains outside Guanwai!
Although this kind of combat power is only more than 30,000 people, it is invincible against the rebels in the field!
Guarding the camp and conducting trench warfare shows that Prince Dun's thinking is too conservative. In fact, Prince Dun should sit within the Zhuozhou city wall and allow these more than 30,000 people to flexibly carry out large detours and penetrations in the wild, confusing the battlefield vehicles!
Penetrate, detour, overtake, penetrate again, encircle... If the Western-style army with powerful firepower moves away and lets loose, how can the flesh and blood of the victims resist?
After being penetrated and detoured two or three times, morale will probably collapse, and as long as the fight turns into chaos, the temporary organization formed by supervising the team to kill will immediately collapse.
To put it bluntly, the common people are fighting. As long as there are no officers and supervisors around, they will immediately flee. Who wants to fight?
This kind of sweeping strategy does not require half-sleeves. All the rebels in Guiziliu will be scattered. It will be easy to fight back, but it will just go back and forth to suppress the bandits!
But this battle was ruined by political considerations. Fu Qing knew very well that Prince Dun did not dare to take risks, because this was the first battle of Emperor Tongzhi's new army, and he had to be completely sure. If he lost once, the public opinion would be suppressed. Can't stand it anymore!
The more important point is that the nobles of the Eight Banners in the capital are deeply afraid of Prince Gong Yixin. Subconsciously, they are still afraid of the sixth son of Emperor Daoguang!
I have to say that what Nastu said was really confusing. No one present was an outsider, so they could tell Nastu's brilliant tactics as soon as he heard it.
Not only did Prince Dun look much better, but even the injured Bai Zhan lost half of his energy!
Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed, Nastu walked up to Bai Zhan and gave himself two hard slaps on the left and right, and then gave him a military salute!
"Old Bai...Brother, I was reckless today. I made you suffer just to win the battle! I won't talk nonsense. You can block the attacks of so many rebels. I respect your third division as good men!"
"You can pick all the trophies of our fifth division first, and you can replenish all the prisoners of war first, okay? I saw them during the war, and many of them are good and strong young men!"
"If this famine hadn't forced them to become refugees, they wouldn't be forced to become thieves now! You know, these simple farmers are all good soldiers after training!"
"No matter how much you lose, no matter how much you make up for, the elites will be given to you... go back and train for a year, and your third division will be full of life again!"
"Hahaha... That's right!" Fu Qing smiled and clapped his hands, "We are united sincerely! Stu has had his faults here and there, but there are also merits. Our war is important. Let's record it in the account first, and wait until we finally get even." It’s a rebellion, let’s settle it later!”
"Bai Zhan, you should be more generous. The merits of your department will never be wiped out! Your Majesty will never forget it..."
With Fu Qing trying to smooth things over, the atmosphere in the military tent finally eased down, and the officers of the Third Division were almost done with their anger!
Just as Nastu was explaining his tactics, the whistle sounded again at Zhuozhou Railway Station, the second train arrived, and three thousand new reinforcements also arrived on the battlefield.
Around the Chinese army's tent, there was a small, lonely group eating dry food to replenish their strength, and there were many German Wolfdogs around them.
This is Luo Huo's railway soldiers, a reinforced company led by Zhao Yidao and Shimazu Dalang!
Due to their special status, when the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Battalion heard that this was a Chinese railway soldier, they all pried with curious eyes, but no one dared to go over and strike up a conversation.
No one dares to bear the sin of having an affair with a Chinese!
The situation was different for the New Royal Forest Army. People saw many battalion commanders and some company commanders of the New Royal Forest Army running over, doing nothing but saluting respectfully!
Some officers of the New Imperial Army even brought hot water here!
Many people in the Xishan Camp were puzzled, so they secretly asked the top soldiers in the Yulin New Army and listened to the explanations from the soldiers who spoke Mandarin with a southern Fujian flavor.
"You don't know...these commanders of the railway corps used to be instructors in the Chinese New Army training camp...one is named Zhao Yidao, and the other is named Shimazu Dalang, both from Fuso!"
"Many officers in the new Imperial Guard Army have been trained by them. There are still a number of such instructors, but these two are the first!"
"Don't look at me. I'm not high enough to know such a high-ranking official... But I heard... I heard that Long Live Master was also trained by these two instructors back then!"
Hiss... Only then did the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Camp realize how powerful they were. It turned out that these two were His Majesty's instructors. No wonder they were so proud that even the division commanders had to take the initiative to salute!
