Fengxian Jiangshan

Before the large-scale equipment of firearms, the cavalry has always been the most powerful arm on the battlefield. Thousands of horses are galloping, mountains are shaking, and the ground is shaking, but the momentum is enough to make most people tremble with fear.

Although Feng Jun's equipment was not bad, they were all new recruits who had no experience in facing the enemy after all. Therefore, when the scouts reported that a large group of cavalry was approaching, Zhang Tinglan's heart immediately hung up.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Tingshu were also alarmed, and they came to Zhang Tinglan's tent one after another.

"Brother, what do you think we should do?"

"Calm down, the sentry will continue to investigate, and everyone else will be ready to fight. If it is Wu Junsheng's troops, it will be a false alarm. If it is not for us, we will fight. With our good equipment, where the bandits want to find us If you are in trouble, you have to look at your own teeth first!"

Zhang Tinglan was very calm at the critical moment. With such a stable leader, the soldiers were nervous, but not chaotic. Everything was in accordance with the usual training, and the machine gun positions were arranged, and all the soldiers were ready.

This time Zhang Tinglan brought a total of twelve heavy machine guns and two 75mm mountain cannons. In fact, the most powerful artillery of Fengjun was the 120mm howitzer. However, because he was going to take the South Manchuria Railway, he was worried that the Japanese would find out, so he only brought Fired two seventy-five guns.

Neither Zhang Zuolin nor Zhang Tinglan believed that there would be bandits on a large scale in Fengtian's territory. If there were small groups of bandits, machine guns alone would be able to deal with them.Therefore, Zhang Tinglan did not bring too many heavy weapons. If he had known that he would encounter a large number of cavalry, he would have brought a few more cannons, but it was useless to regret it.

Fortunately, Zhang Tinglan chose a good location for the camp.There is a river on the left, and mountains on the right. There is only one route in the middle. As long as you keep the front, you can block the enemy.

When they were preparing nervously, a tangle of dancing torches appeared at a distance of 3000 meters. Under the night, it was like a will-o'-the-wisp, and the neighing of horses from time to time was like howling ghosts and wolves.Zhang Tinglan and the others hung up their hearts. At this time, the scouts used the firelight.I also found the chaotic clothes of these guys, and even more chaotic weapons.

It is absolutely impossible to be Wu Junsheng's troops, so it can only be bandits. Being able to mobilize such a large number of cavalry shows that this group of bandits is extremely powerful.It may even be Babu Zhabu's Mongolian bandits. Logically speaking, it is impossible for this guy to appear in the hinterland of the three northeastern provinces.But reality often exceeds common sense.

Zhang Tinglan can only make all soldiers be more vigilant.With all the heavy machine guns ready and the angles of the two cannons adjusted, Zhang Tinglan felt eager to fight at any time. Babuzabu had been a disaster for many years, if he could be killed.It is also to eliminate harm for the people.

In fact, Zhang Tinglan's guess is not wrong, this group of people is indeed Babu Zhabu's Mongolian bandits, and they met here because of the narrow road of enemies.After Babzab was defeated.He just wanted to escape to Hailar and take shelter of the Russian consulate. Without the support of the Russians these years, Babuzabu couldn't survive at all.

He defected to his master with great joy, but at this time the Russian Far East was still in extreme chaos. Since the political storm caused by Zhang Tinglan had not yet ended, the power struggle among the top Russian officials was becoming more and more fierce. The officials in the Far East were like leeks. One stubble.

Under such circumstances, who would care about Babu Zhabu? Without the support of the Russians, Babu Zhabu felt that the sky was falling.But this kind of bandit is absolutely unwilling to stand still. There is no place for them to stand in the Mongolian grasslands, so he decided to venture into the hinterland of the three eastern provinces, plunder, spend this winter, and then think of a way.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Babu Zhabu led his men to sneak around Taonan and rushed towards the Liaoyuan area, where they happened to meet Zhang Tinglan's troops.After Babu Zhabu sent people to investigate, he found that this army had only about 1000 people, which was no different from his own manpower, but they were all infantry.

Everyone knows that under the same number, it is definitely a tragedy for infantry to meet cavalry in a field battle.What made Babuzabu even more tempted was that this team carried a lot of supplies, which looked like fat sheep at first glance, so Babuzabu was going to take a risk.

He led his subordinates, taking advantage of the darkness to gradually surround them, he was not in a hurry to launch a general attack, but sent dozens of Mongolian bandits to test the opponent's combat effectiveness.

This group of Mongolian bandits rushed towards Zhang Tinglan's position screaming and screaming. Although Zhang Tinglan participated in the robbery of the Japanese military column, it was all under the command of his father Zhang Zuoxiang. He was completely soy sauce. This time he personally commanded In the first battle, my palms were sweating.

"The other party is trying to test, so don't worry, brothers, shoot when you get close, just like shooting a target, nothing special!"

Although Zhang Tinglan said so, he was really worried about these recruits under him. They were all honest children, but now they want to shoot and kill people. The psychological pressure alone is amazing. As the commander, Zhang Tinglan only Be as calm as possible and respond with aplomb.

At this time, the cavalry had rushed to a distance of 500 meters, and Zhang Tinglan hadn't given the order to shoot when suddenly there was a clear gunshot above the position, and a bullet flew out.

One unlucky guy was too nervous and accidentally went off. With one, there was a second, and a third, and soon the gunshots on the side of the position were like popping beans.

"Bastard!" Zhang Tinglan couldn't help yelling, these recruits could barely shoot, not accurate at all.The distance was too far, and in the dark night, many soldiers were shooting with their eyes closed. How could it have any effect? ​​After a round of random shooting, the Mongolian bandits were almost unscathed, and they were still rushing towards the position.

The recruits were really unreliable on the battlefield, Zhang Tinglan's forehead was sweating, and she hurriedly ordered all the officers to restrain the soldiers and calm down the boys.At this moment, dozens of cavalrymen had already approached the position, and the distance between the two sides was only about 200 meters. Then, under the moonlight, one could already see the crazy appearance of the Mongolian bandits.

Fortunately, at this time, two tongues of fire spewed out from both sides of the position, like a sickle, swept towards the Mongolian bandits, and a dozen cavalrymen were killed in an instant.The arrogance of the bandits was thwarted, and the recruits on the field finally regained their sobriety, followed the training norms, and started shooting in a panic, finally suppressing this wave of attacks.

Zhang Tinglan's face was ashen. The machine gunners he brought this time were not recruits, but veterans who had participated in the hijacking of the Japanese military column. They fought with Japan. The combat effectiveness of these machine gunners increased linearly, and they were able to calmly deal with various situations. , and thanks to them, we can hold our ground.

"Brothers, cheer me up and act according to the order. If there is another mistake, I will not be polite."

Zhang Tinglan tried his best to stabilize the mood of the soldiers. At this time, the second wave of Mongolian bandit attacks had already rushed up. This time there were more than 300 people, divided into three arrows on the left, middle and right, and rushed over like a whirlwind. The Mongolian bandits spread out a real offensive.

After the first trial, Babuzabu found that the opponent's combat effectiveness was not very good, and his experience in facing the enemy was seriously lacking, so he made up his mind to eat up this army, so as to replenish the ammunition.

Relying on the cover of the night, more than 300 Mongolian bandits rushed over like waves. After the first round of tests, these recruits were finally able to stabilize their emotions. Facing the surge of strange soldiers, although they were afraid, they could still hold on. keep calm.

At this time, those low-level officers played a role. They were all selected by Zhang Tinglan. They had the highest level of education and the hardest training. If you can't win, and you don't even have a chance to escape, can you run with two legs better than four?

"Brothers, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road! Everyone show your courage, as long as you win the bandit in front of you, you will be rewarded!"

In a blink of an eye, the Mongolian bandits surged up again, Zhang Tinglan immediately ordered to fire, the machine guns on both sides formed a dense crossfire, the bullets hit the Mongolian bandits like hail, and a large number of bandits would be swept away soon.

In this dark night, as long as you fall off your horse, you will basically die. Even if you are not shot to death, you will be trampled to death by your own people. punish.

Those recruits saw more and more Mongolian bandits being killed, and they gradually let go of their fear, and they were able to reload and shoot calmly. Actual combat is always the best training ground, and soon some soldiers were able to perform supernormally. More and more bandits were killed.

There were corpses everywhere. Although Babuzabu was a little far away, he knew that the attack was not going well. His subordinates were being wiped out constantly, but the enemy's line was as solid as a rock, unable to break through at all.

Babuzabu also has a fierceness in his bones. He knows that he has encountered a difficult bone, but it also means that the other party has more fat and water. If he can chew it off and snatch the machine gun equipped by the other party, he will have Lost the capital to gain a foothold in the three northeastern provinces.

Therefore, Babuzabu gathered another five hundred cavalry, ready to forcefully break through the opponent's defense from the front with the advantage of numbers. The shooting was getting closer and closer to the position, and Zhang Tinglan's side also began to suffer casualties.

At the critical moment of desperate efforts, Zhang Tinglan was no longer polite. Everyone fired desperately, and the two artillery shells also fired. It can take away the lives of three or five Mongolian bandits. There are corpses everywhere on the battlefield, and there are screaming wounded everywhere.

Faced with heavy casualties, this gang of Mongolian bandits had weakened a lot in courage, and gradually some people hesitated to move forward.Seeing this situation, Babuzabu was also very disappointed. Knowing that failure was inevitable, he immediately beckoned his subordinates to flee. At this moment, a shell flew over, less than 20 meters away from him, and the shell exploded suddenly. The shrapnel slashed across Babuzabu's body, and blood gushed out immediately. (to be continued..)
