Back to the Republic of China as a commander

At the beginning, Cai Juxian laughed at the commander of the tiger brigade on the opposite side because he didn't know how to defend.But soon he couldn't laugh anymore. Hong Jiang's fierce attacking arrows were quickly hit by firepower from the front, left and right directions. They squatted down to fight back according to the code of practice, but they often fired only one shot, and they were shot. After firing several shots, the soldiers suddenly became confused.Someone shouted: "There are also enemies shooting from the back and sides..."

Cai Juxian is not a fool, he is a veteran who has been in the army for nearly 20 years.Immediately saw that there was something wrong with the Tiger Brigade's defensive formation, and they had to stop attacking immediately, otherwise the consequences would be very serious if their side collapsed.

As a result of this wave of attacks, the defense team was defeated in an ugly manner, with a lot of casualties, more than 70 people were killed in battle, and hundreds of people were injured.The casualties on the opposite side are not clear, but they are not estimated to be large. After all, how many casualties can be caused by hiding behind obstacles and firing?

Zhou Zefan was very angry when he saw that Cai Juxian retreated in defeat.Although Cai Juxian was quite a bit older than himself, Zhou Zefan, who became angry from embarrassment, still reprimanded him angrily, and then ordered him to continue attacking.

Cai Juxian had no choice but to go back and regroup his team, preparing to attack again.But although Cai Juxian has a wild temper, it doesn't mean that others are stupid.After thinking about it carefully, he ordered the regiment to be divided into three, and the two battalions attacked the two wings of the Tiger Brigade's V-shaped defensive position.

Cai Juxian also had foresight, and quickly saw the strength and flaws of this defensive tactic, and decisively divided his troops in response to this flaw.His idea is very simple, commanding an army to go straight to the point. As long as he can penetrate the bottom, this tactic will be cracked, and the triangle defense will directly become a separate battle. Bravery, it is not easy to eliminate these sick cat army.

If the commander of this battle is Xu Yuanquan or Yang Wangui, he will definitely make adjustments immediately in the face of Cai Juxian's desperate style of play.It's a pity that Song Xianfu and Hao Bing are fierce generals, and they didn't make timely adjustments according to the changes on the battlefield, so the Tiger Brigade couldn't hold it anymore, and the entire defensive position began to loosen.

The frontal position, which lost the support of firepower on both sides, did not form a concentrated firepower itself, and the distance from the enemy was quickly shortened. The soldiers began to feel nervous, but the long-term training made them choose to continue to reload and shoot.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Hongjiang garrison were obviously not bandits from Guizhou. Their tactical level was not low, and they quickly dispersed, constantly adjusting the impact point, and shooting against the Tiger Brigade according to the terrain.

The Tiger Brigade began to suffer casualties. Some Hongjiang garrison officers and soldiers broke through some areas and started hand-to-hand combat with the Tiger Brigade officers and soldiers guarding these areas. This is precisely the weakness of the Tiger Brigade. It was a disadvantage, and the entire front became precarious. Wake up, the battle has reached a critical moment.

Wan Yaohuang, who was standing in the rear and supervised the battle, saw the situation and was immediately annoyed. He found Song Xianfu and Hao Bing in three steps at a time: "Immediately counterattack across the board, or we will collapse across the board, hurry up!"

Song Xianfu and Hao Bing were also a little dazed at the moment, they were accustomed to obey when someone gave an order, regardless of the age of the other party?Job geometry?He picked up the shell gun and the big knife, and led the people to kill.

Fortunately, the trained soldiers didn't follow them to be stupid. Li Dachao, the first company commander of Hao Bing's Eighth Battalion, and Shi Yong, the squad leader of the sharp knife squad, nicknamed Shi Daudao, took the lead in throwing grenades at the garrison. The soldiers suddenly woke up and followed suit. . .

Cai Juxian was having a good time killing, and he was only tens of meters away from the bottom of the V-shape. He was about to muster his last breath and rush in, when he suddenly saw dozens of people jumping out from the opposite side, followed by dozens of small black trees. The handle flew over.Although he didn't know what these things were, Cai Juxian clearly felt a strong danger, his breathing became short of breath, and his heartbeat stopped suddenly.

Then there was the sound of bang, bang and continuous explosions. The [-] elite guards who were trying to attack this area were hit hard. Cai Ju sacrificed his life, and he was lucky enough not to be killed by the grenade when several guards pinned him down. .But he was also dizzy from the shock, so he naturally became a prisoner.

Zhou Zefan saw the situation ahead with a telescope, and before he had time to speak, Wan Yaohuang from the Tiger Brigade kicked the leader of the mortar platoon after driving Song Xianfu and the others out to fight back: "Fire right away, and shoot at the enemy in the distance." Fire at the military center, hurry up."

So the first test projectile landed less than 20 meters away from Zhou Zefan, immediately blowing up five or six soldiers.

Zhou Zefan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He had seen this thing in Japan, a mortar. He didn't expect the Tiger Brigade to have this thing.

I was careless, I was careless, I obviously underestimated the enemy, and before I figured out the strength of the opponent, I recklessly pulled the team into the wild to fight, this time it was hard not to lose.

After all, Zhou Zefan was a regular military officer who stayed in Japan. His first reaction was to order his subordinates to fight back on the spot. At this juncture, he ordered to retreat. Waiting for his side will definitely be an unmanageable defeat. It is better to fight on the spot and see the opportunity again Retreat, after all, the power of mortars is limited.

However, things backfired. He, Zhou Zefan, had seen this thing before, and knew that its lethality was limited, and its power was not comparable to that of a large-caliber field gun.But the soldiers from the countryside below didn't understand. When they saw that there was a cannon on the opposite side but they didn't have one, they immediately gave up thinking about running for their lives out of biological instinct.

The defeat was inevitable, and Zhou Zefan was too confident in advance, thinking that he would win this battle.As a result, even the supervising team was not let go, and the defeat was even more unstoppable.

Another regiment leader, Liu Xuyi, grabbed Zhou Zefan and said, "Commander, we are no match for the Tiger Brigade, let's withdraw!"

Only then did Zhou Zefan come to his senses, grabbed Liu Xuyi's arm like grabbing a life-saving straw, and said, "Commander Liu, you should immediately organize a militia group and attack the opponent, trying to save the situation."

Liu Xuyi said anxiously: "Let's not talk about those bastards. After the battle started, these bastards disappeared one after another. If I had known earlier, they should be the first to fight."

Zhou Zefan smiled sadly, lost his mind, and suddenly asked inexplicably, "Old Cai, where is Lao Cai?"

Liu Xuyi glanced back at the defeated army, he couldn't care less about the details, he quickly hugged Zhou Zefan, who seemed to be insane, and drove Zhou Zefan away with several other soldiers.

If Yang Wangui or Xu Yuanquan were here at this time, out of the dogma that the poor should not be chased, Zhou Zefan would be let go no matter what.Maybe Zhou Zefan can gather most of his troops after running down.

It's a pity that it is Song Xianfu and Hao Bing who are red-hot now, so I'm sorry, they chased and beat them all the way.The troops of the garrison were defeated repeatedly, unable to organize even the slightest resistance.The officer couldn't find the soldier, and the soldier couldn't find the officer. He couldn't run, so he raised his gun above his head with both hands, and knelt down and surrendered.

When the sun went down, Song Xianfu and Hao Bing, who were addicted to killing, laughed and ordered to withdraw their troops, but they saw Wan Yaohuang leading people up to join them. Wan Yaohuang was now determined to pay attention, regardless of his own fatigue, no matter what They also beat Zhou Zefan to death overnight.Song Xianfu and Hao Bing admired this Wan Xiucai quite a lot now, so they naturally listened to his words. They immediately restrained the troops in the headquarters for a short rest, and at the same time separated a company to guard more than 900 prisoners and wounded, and the others continued to go to Jiang City advance.

When Zhou Zefan and Liu Xuyi fled back to Jiangshi Town, they found that there were less than 200 people left in the headquarters, and they felt so sad. . .

However, Zhou Zefan seemed to be born with a spirit of revolutionary optimism, and when he entered the town, he burst out laughing again.

Now Liu Xuyi didn't understand, he asked: "Commander, we are all at this point, what's so ridiculous?"

Zhou Zefan waved his hand and said, "You don't understand. We still have thousands of troops in Hongjiang. As long as I go back, half of the troops will be there to defend Hongjiang and wait for Changsha to rescue them. At this time, as long as you pretend to be our army and swindle Hong Jiang, is there still a chance to fight this battle?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zefan, who was tired all day, didn't take a shower, just lay down and fell asleep.

The house leak happened to be raining all night, so they slept for a while, and the chief of staff, Yang Yusheng, fled into Jiangshi with a few people.Zhou Zefan was shocked when he saw that his whole body was soaked, and he was in a daze: "Old Yang, what's the matter?"

Yang Yusheng said in shock, "I lost it, I lost it, the tiger brigade fell from the sky."

It turned out that when Zhou Zefan suffered a disastrous defeat, Wang Zhenyu had already brought his troops to the bank of Wushui (now Lishui). The merchant gangs were very trustworthy and sent boats. Wang Zhenyu crossed the river quietly, and then entered the city in the dark to guard the Hongjiang River. The Chinese army was disarmed by Wang Zhenyu's troops before they could react in time.When Yang Yusheng found out that the situation was wrong, he tactfully escaped with a few guards over the wall, escaped the Tiger Brigade's capture, and then swam across Wushui to report to Jiang City overnight.

Zhou Zefan was shocked and angry, he grabbed Yang Yusheng: "Don't you still have three thousand regiments to practice? Why can't you stand it?"

Yang Yusheng was also angry: "Commander, don't mention that those bastards practiced, they all betrayed, and it was premeditated. Commander, those businessmen must be accomplices."

Zhou Zefan stopped laughing this time, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven will kill me too."

Needless to say, not only was the site lost, but even the huge sum of 450 million that I had raised for Governor Tan probably fell into the hands of the Tiger Brigade at this moment, and I was completely clean now.

When he was depressed, Liu Xuyi ran in again: "Commander, there are many people outside the town, we are surrounded, what should we do?"

Zhou Zefan sat down on the grand teacher's chair, took a deep breath, and said two words with great difficulty: "Surrender!"
