It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Chapter 385: Fear of death and brave charge are not the same thing

Sharp knife row, steel knife company,
As the name suggests, it has the strongest combat effectiveness compared to other troops.

Of course, there are also honorary titles such as Tiger Regiment, Tiger Guards, and Imperial Guards.
At least these troops have a glorious and bloody history of battle.

Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand people is a hero.
However, there is a big difference between the Far East New Army and the general traditional army.

The troops named the Sharp Knife Platoon and the Steel Knife Company,

It's not about who kills more people, but during the attack,

Pay more attention to self-protection, that is, the ability to control damage.

The First Company of the Second Battalion, in this assault,

More than one-third of the troops were killed, leaving only seventy soldiers, almost all of whom were injured.
Because of the continuous fighting, they were not able to withdraw to rest, nor did they receive any replenishment of personnel and ammunition.

According to the order of the regiment,
After the battle started, the Steel Knife Company of the Second Battalion continued to act as the vanguard and launched assault operations against the Jiangbeizhou position.

The second battalion commander did not receive any supplements.
He could only draw 15 soldiers from the second and third companies to fill in the first company.
It is considered an internal adjustment, and its purpose is to ensure that the blade of this steel knife does not become bent.

The captain of the Steel Blade Company knew better. More than half of the sharp blade platoon had been killed or wounded.
Four main officers died in the battle, and Lu Yunlong was the only surviving squad leader.

Whether his company can perform well depends on whether the spearhead platoon can hold on.
Therefore, acting platoon leader Lu Yunlong is very crucial.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the company commander,
Lu Yunlong said indifferently: "There's no point in being afraid!"

The company commander said with a smile:

"You have finally understood, kid.

On the battlefield, it's a life-and-death struggle, everything else is meaningless!"

Lu Yuanlong nodded.

He still remembers that during the reorganization of Qila,
When Commander-in-Chief Shen was giving a speech to the officers, he said:

"If you don't train seriously, you'll be letting your parents and family down!"

All the officers were stunned...

How are training and family related?
We haven’t read many books, but the commander-in-chief can’t fool us like this, right? !

Lu Yuan was not kidding, he explained earnestly:
"You may not understand why I say this.

Because all training programs,

All this is to ensure that you can save your life on the battlefield.

Shooting, bayonet fighting, bomb throwing, cooperation, obstacle course running, cross-country running, standing guard...

Even eating, drinking, sleeping, and wearing clothes all have their own rules.

Let's put it this way, if you get an "excellent"
Facing the enemy, you will have a 10% chance of survival...

Remember, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war!

In short, for the sake of yourself and your family, you must study hard and train rigorously! "

However, there are all kinds of people in the world.

The commander-in-chief gave sincere advice, but not many people took it to heart.
After all, the Boxers have been wiped out and peace has returned to Qila City, so why bother training?

However, plans are not as fast as changes.

The new Qila army decided to change their fate and turned their attention to the county governor.

All crows and officials in the world...are black.

Without the connivance of the government,
The Boxers could not have developed so quickly.
Nor will it go to Qilabang, causing heavy casualties and upheaval.

Therefore, the reorganization of the Qila New Army was completed.
He launched a campaign of annexation against Ningchang, Putuo, and Dingjia.
In two months, they fought three fierce battles and swallowed up three states.

Shanyang and Beizha were so frightened that they had no choice but to throw themselves into his arms.

At this point, the Qila New Army had 30,000 soldiers, becoming the well-deserved "Namowen" of the Far East County!
As for the battle to seize the county, there was no danger, only sporadic fighting.
When everyone thought that the new Qira army was "invincible",

The commander-in-chief once again carried out the most rigorous reorganization in history.
Under the harsh examination of the foreign instructors, 50,000 troops were forcibly compressed into 20,000.
At the beginning, many people didn’t understand.
Is it necessary to be so strict?
However, news came that the troops from the three states were launching a massive attack.
Everyone realized that the real battle had begun.

Attacking the Jiangnan Prefecture Army is different from attacking the Three States.
After all, the two sides are not native to the same place, so they will not show mercy to each other.
Every punch hits the flesh, every knife draws blood...

Therefore, the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment, which was responsible for the main attack, suffered heavy casualties.
The squad and platoon leaders of the Second Battalion were replaced, and the newcomers stood out.
In order to fight the encirclement and annihilation of Jiangbei Prefecture,

Lu Yuan had already stressed that every group must ensure that
The combat will of battalion and company-level officers must be strengthened through careful post-war summaries and pre-war mobilization.
This was also the main reason why the company commander came over to have a "heart-to-heart talk" with Lu Yunlong.

Seeing Lu Yunlong silent, the company commander suddenly sighed and said:

"In fact, in this world, except for idiots and lunatics, no one is not afraid of death... No kidding, I am afraid of death too!"

Lu Yunlong glanced at the company commander in surprise and couldn't help asking:
"But I saw that during the assault, the company commander also rushed to the front line..."

"Ha ha!"

"Being afraid of death and charging forward are not the same thing..."

"Hmm? Captain, what do you mean?"

"It's natural to be afraid of death, but charging forward is a responsibility... Someone has to take the lead!"

Lu Yunlong hesitated and muttered: "I don't understand..."

"Actually, whether you are afraid of death or not,

The commander-in-chief asked me, and I said I wasn’t afraid, but I got criticized! ”

"Ah! Why? Is it right to be afraid of death?"

The company commander smiled innocently and said:
"I don't quite understand, but the commander-in-chief said,

No matter how nice you say, you can't deceive your own heart.

Those who say they are not afraid of death are all fools, fools, and liars..."

"Why did the commander-in-chief say that?"

"The commander-in-chief said that war will definitely result in casualties.

Because of this, there is no room for falsehood.

If no one in the new army dares to tell the truth,
Even if there are hundreds of thousands or millions of troops, they are bound to fail and be annihilated!"

Lu Yunlong was extremely surprised.

He stared at the company commander blankly, not knowing how to start.

The company commander said, "You know about Zoroastrianism and the Boxers, right?

Their followers say things like 'invulnerable to swords and guns, protected by divine power'.
In fact, it was their leaders who deceived people and made the lower-level believers die in vain.

Their backbones and leaders not only use the money offered by believers,
He eats and drinks all day long, and plays with the wives, sisters and daughters of his followers. He is so evil! "

Lu Yunlong nodded. He had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.
Knowing that the Red Fist Club is a fraud,

It's rotten from top to bottom.

It's a pity that hundreds of thousands of believers were deceived and coerced, and were kept in the dark.
They say that they support the Indians and destroy the foreigners.
Actually, it is purely for
Let the top leaders reap the benefits.
There are many cunning believers who want to become the backbone.

He actually fawned on and licked the heads of the various leaders.
Not only did he give money, he also offered his wife and daughter.
It's simply... shameless to the point of being outrageous.
Of course, these despicable, ignorant, stupid or evil believers,

Not a true believer.
But to discover and use this dirty trick,

Became the leader of the Red Fist Society,
In this way, you can openly rob others of their possessions.

Money and women,
Among the Boxers who brought disaster to the country and the people,

The law of the jungle has long been the law of the jungle, corruption is everywhere, and bullying is everywhere...

And enter the dignityless

In an era where everyone is in danger,
This is a vicious cycle.

No self-repair,

It will only degenerate faster and faster, there is no cure...

Even if the Qila coalition led by Lu Yuan did not take action to suppress it,
These locust-like garbage,
They will also be ruthlessly and completely eradicated by other armed forces!
The captain continued:

"If we fail to hold Qilabang,
What will happen to you and your family if the Boxers come in?"

Lu Yunlong's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The Boxers massacred two villages on the border.
Not only did he rape women, he also spared the elderly and children. He is worse than animals!
If the Boxers had won the siege,
Lu Yunlong couldn't imagine what would happen to his family...

The company commander patted his rifle and said with a smile:

"Now, we have guns, comrades, cannons, and a commander-in-chief...

We will fight against anyone who bullies us! Do you know why I am afraid of death but still charge forward?
The commander-in-chief said that only by protecting Far East County,
Only in this way can the family enjoy the good life now...

Now, the three states have sent troops to attack us.
They just want us to continue to be oppressed and exploited by the officials.

If we don't kill all these corrupt officials, we will have no good life.
Not only you and me, but also our families and future generations will be slaves!"

Lu Yunlong was stunned.
He had never thought that fear of death and charging forward actually had such a profound meaning...

The captain is right.

The imperial court exploited the people more and more cruelly, and no one could afford to live.

The commander-in-chief not only took the initiative to exempt agricultural taxes, but also removed all excessive fees and charges.

Moreover, they helped the elderly and children and set up porridge stalls.

Let all the poor people have hope to survive.
However, the imperial court could not bear to see the people living well.

They had to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion. All the high-ranking officials in the court are so corrupt!

After figuring it out, Lu Yunlong's eyes lit up with anger.

The company commander nodded and patted the platoon leader on the shoulder.

"When charging, be fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Also, be smart, I don’t want to change the platoon leader again! "

"Hey! Captain, don't worry, I value my life!"

In the morning, at five o'clock,

The Far East Army's truck column and more than a hundred horse-drawn carts,
Carrying two thousand officers and soldiers, they quickly advanced towards the Jiangbei Prefecture troops, raising a trail of dust.
At this time, the Jiangbei Prefecture garrison and positions,
An hour ago, it had quieted down.
The Jiangbei soldiers, who were extremely sleepy, all lay down in all directions to catch up on their sleep.
Even the sentinels were like chicks pecking at rice.

The Far East Army is so shameless. They have been making trouble in the middle of the night. I will teach them a lesson at dawn!
The Liangjiang Prefecture soldiers' garrisons and positions,
The dawn here is quiet, and both sides sleep soundly.

The first and second regiments of the Far East Army have been surrounded.

Like a turtle in a jar, you can eat whenever you want.

"Tick! Tick!"

The clock ticked by, and the battle situation had changed dramatically.
The one with more clever calculations wins!
At 4:55, the main force of the Third Regiment, the First and Second Battalions, more than a thousand men,

Like a dagger, it pierced the side and back of the Jiangbei Prefecture soldiers. The two sides were five miles apart.

The special attack team began to clean up the light and dark checkpoints set up by Jiangbei Prefecture.

At half past five, the morning light was just breaking.

The main forces of the Fifth and Sixth Regiments, numbering more than a thousand men, took their positions, blocking the retreat of the Jiangbei Prefecture troops.
At this point, the three-sided pocket formation was successfully completed.

At six o'clock, the sun rises and the sky becomes bright.

Large groups of Far Eastern Army troops arrived one after another.

While setting up artillery positions, the assault troops were retreating, and the Jiangbei prefectural soldiers had no way to escape!
At this time, the commander of Jiangbei Prefecture also noticed something unusual.

The sentry was supposed to come back after two hours, but he was nowhere to be seen...

Immediately dispatched personnel to investigate.

When the Jiangbei soldiers saw the Far East Army flags standing in rows behind them,

The black holes of guns were all pointed at me, and I was scared to death!
"Report! The Far East Army has surrounded us..."

The commander of Jiangbei Prefecture was so frightened that he dropped his bowl on the ground.

"What? Surrounded? Where did they surround them from..."

When he looked through the telescope and saw the Far Eastern Army behind him, he was so angry that he started to curse.
"Fuck you! I knew it.
Those bastards in Jiangnan are unreliable! Quick, send someone to ask for help from the soldiers in Liangjiang..."

However, the four regiments of the Far East Army surrounded them, and not even a fly could fly out.
Therefore, all the dozen or so messengers he sent out were captured by the Far East Army without exception.

At half past six, the Far East Army issued an ultimatum.

The messenger from the Jiangnan Prefecture sent him to the commander's tent.

The letter contained only one sentence: "The Jiangnan troops are finished. If they don't surrender within a quarter of an hour, they will be destroyed!"

The commander of the Jiangbei army was stunned.

Oh my god, 10,000 troops from Jiangnan are gone so quickly?

The messenger from Jiangnan who delivered the letter said with a sad face:
"They have hundreds of cannons,
There are also many machine guns, and none of them are afraid of death. This battle is really impossible to fight..."

Jiangbei's commander rebuked unconvincedly:
"Stop talking nonsense!
I just don't believe it. How can a bunch of peasant soldiers be so powerful? "

As the deputy commander of Jiangbei Prefecture, he still has to save face.
However, the situation was clearly unfavorable, so he had no choice but to order the entire army to "hold on and wait for reinforcements"!
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

Before the various forces in Jiangbei Prefecture could figure out what was going on, the Far East Army launched a strong assault.

At the beginning, it was still artillery fire output.
"Boom bang bang..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

"Boom boom boom..."

After firing ten rounds, five minutes had passed.
When the second-line soldiers of Jiangbei Prefecture rushed to the front-line positions,
The second round of bombardment arrived as promised, with a breathtaking whistle.

"Boom boom boom..."

The battlefield was littered with broken limbs and blood.
Jiangbei Prefecture suffered a great loss again.
"Dududu~~"

When the suona sounds, even gods and ghosts will disappear!

The infantry assault in three directions has begun!

Yellow-green military uniforms, wave after wave,
Amid the slogans that echoed across the battlefield, a fierce charge was launched.
"Charge! Defend our hometown!"

"Kill! For the commander-in-chief!"

"Kill the Jiangbei guy, fight to the death and win! Charge, kill..."

At one time, all the fronts in Jiangbei sent emergency calls to the headquarters.
The deputy general of Jiangbei Prefecture was dumbfounded.

It's only been a few minutes and you can't hold on?
It is said that you raise an army for a thousand days and use it in one moment.
But, these bastards gave in before we even started fighting... How embarrassing!

"Hold on! Hold on, the soldiers from Liangjiang will come to rescue us soon..."

However, the Far East Army had just been baptized by war.

The morale is high at this moment, and each commando dares to charge and fight.
Often two or three people would chase dozens of Jiangbei soldiers and beat them up.
Beat the other person until he cries for his parents and runs away even faster...

The assault began, and within five minutes,
The Far East Army in three directions has already defeated the defenders in front of them and is sweeping towards the wings and depth.

Entering the era of firearms, various tactical combinations are colorful.

However, there is no difference between Jiangbei soldiers and Tifa's other troops.
They ate empty salaries, sucked the blood of soldiers, and even resold military supplies.

They were corrupt and did not pay attention to the training and management of the army.
Such confused officers and soldiers,
How could they possibly defeat the Far East New Army that was armed to the teeth with sharp spirit and strong resolve?
In particular, the Far East Army commandos shouted in deliberate confusion.

"The Jiangnan troops are finished, the Liangjiang troops are also surrounded, you are defeated..."

"The Jiangbei soldiers are defeated... run away..."

"It's over. The deputy general was killed by artillery fire. We lost..."

The Jiangbei soldiers had no intention of fighting.

A few hundred coins a month, what's the point of playing with it...bullshit!

So, instead of aiming at the Far Eastern soldiers,
He even left behind the heavy and obstructive guns and bullets, pretending to be injured and escaping,

The scene was simply packed with people, with loud gongs and drums...

There is no doubt that the Far East Third Regiment's assault mission,

The Steel Knife Company of the Second Battalion continued to lead the fight... Lu Yunlong was sent to the forefront again.

Of course, because the attack was launched from the side and rear,
The Jiangbei Prefecture's garrison had no decent fortifications or bunkers.

There weren't even trenches, just some big foxholes.

Lu Yunlong led the full force of the sharp knife platoon and rushed forward again.
"Clap clap clap!"

The other side fired a volley of shots.
"call out!"

Lu Yunlong seemed to hear a whistling sound in the dark.
"puff!"

A round-headed bullet, by chance, shot into his chest... (End of this chapter)
