1890 King of Southeast Asia

In the end, the commander of the First Town chose to move with the Fourth Town.

Boom! Boom!

The God of War spoke first, bombarding the positions of the First and Third Light Infantry Divisions.

All the exposed firepower points were basically plowed by artillery, and the fierce bombardment lasted for half an hour.

It was not that Duan Zhiquan did not want to continue the bombardment, but there were no shells. In order to march quickly, the baggage was not much, and it was finished in just a moment.

At twelve o'clock, Duan Zhiquan commanded the Fourth Town to launch an attack on a one-kilometer-long front.

Part of the First Town attacked with the army, and most of them maintained the rhythm of the morning-rushing to a position of 200 to 300 meters, firing machine guns, and retreating frantically after a few unlucky guys died.

"It made my blood boil, I thought it was a big scene." Hou Dehui lit a cigarette and looked at the enemy retreating in embarrassment, very confused.

"Captain, why don't you take the initiative to attack? For this kind of thing, they are not afraid of ten times the number of troops."

"You know nothing, the other side is making such a big fuss, maybe they want to lure the snake out of the hole, lure the tiger away from the mountain, muddy the water so that they can fish in troubled waters, and finally sneak into Chencang... Captain, I think the enemy is using a feint to the east and attack in the west!"

"You have a solid foundation!"

"Feint to the east and attack in the west..." Ignoring the staff officers' bickering, Hou Dehui also felt that there was a problem, especially since it was so loud and even artillery was used!

Firing artillery is not such a simple matter. Two artillery brigades are waiting behind them. The artillery observers have arrived long ago, and the other side knows it.

But they are still so unhurried in the front.

"Report, on the left side of our unit, the position of the 11th Regiment has been breached, and the 11th Regiment is retreating to the second-line position."

"Brigade headquarters call! Our unit retreats to the second-line position and cooperates with friendly forces to block the enemy's attack!"

The two messages came almost at the same time, and Hou Dehui threw the cigarette butt on the ground fiercely.

"I knew it! But his Beiyang didn't know that our position was wide! Order the first battalion to withdraw, the second battalion to enter the second-line position, and the first and third battalions to move towards the eleventh regiment."

"Before the artillery leaves, fire at the original eleventh regiment position to delay the enemy's attack."

"Execute it!"

...

Duan Zhiquan's attack was effective. The officers and soldiers of the fourth town who advanced quickly rushed to the front of the position. Duan Zhiquan equipped the 37mm cannon to the infantry and attacked with the infantry.

The artillery suppressed the machine guns. The officers and soldiers of the fourth town rushed to the position. Seeing that they were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the eleventh regiment received the order to retreat.

There is a second line behind the first line, and there are three and four lines behind the second line. The original plan was to let people in, block them layer by layer, and reduce their impact.

The fourth town easily broke the first-line position, and the eleventh regiment withdrew to the second line. The fourth town took advantage of the situation and rushed once, but failed. Instead, it was strafed by machine guns, and the vanguard was in disarray.

Duan Zhiquan did not stop to rest, he had no time, half an hour after the battle, Duan Zhiquan came to the front of the second-line position.

"If you attack, you will be honored as a wife and children! If you can't, everything will be in vain." Duan Zhiquan looked at the obvious traces of various fortifications and said to his men.

"Pass it on, the first one to attack the position will be promoted to captain below the captain, and the captain above the captain will be promoted three levels, and rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver and 10 hectares of land!"

Duan Zhiquan believed that the victory or defeat depended on this deal, so he placed a heavy bet.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"..."

There must be brave men under heavy rewards, a small group of people who want to fight and change their fate.

Unfortunately, pure courage of blood and qi can no longer control the war.

Bang bang bang...

Boom bang bang...

Mid-range and long-range mortar suppression, medium-range and short-range machine gun strafing, and even closer is the precise shooting of rifles, which easily consumed the courage of these warriors.

After all, if you fight desperately, you must also see the hope of fighting desperately.

"Continue! Order, the whole regiment and the whole battalion will attack. The enemy is not numerous, maybe they cannot mobilize in time. Seize the opportunity, and those who retreat will die!" Duan Zhiquan looked at the embarrassed warriors and shouted to his subordinates unwillingly.

He has failed.

He knew this, but he was unwilling to accept it.

After continuous movements and battles, the main force of the Fourth Town still remained, and the loss of personnel was less than 3,000 (including the death, lag, missing, and serious injuries).

You know, this road is either a fast march or an active attack, and the front-line position of the 11th Regiment was captured.

He still has 9,000 people, and because of the victory just now, the morale can still be used.

However, he can no longer organize an attack like breaking through the front-line position.

The shells have been exhausted, and the bullets are enough for a few days of fighting at the current intensity of the battle, and the food is only enough for today and tomorrow.

He has seen the positions of the Nanhua Army. They are well-arranged, chaotic but not scattered, and it is very difficult to attack.

It was difficult, not that there was no way to fight, but he didn't have time to grind slowly, and there were no shells to cover the attack.

Forced attack?

"Zhongwei, go quietly, contact the other side, show my identity, and talk to them on my behalf." Duan Zhiquan calmed down and played with the Buddhist beads.

These Buddhist beads were given to him by Zaixun, who said that the master had blessed them and could ward off disasters.

"Yes!" The man called Zhongwei was his trusted servant, not very smart, but loyal and able to carry out his orders.

"Oh, if the gods and Buddhas in the sky are useful, then the Shang and Zhou dynasties are still in charge at this time." After Zhongwei left, Duan Zhiquan played with the Buddhist beads and shook his head, his face full of sarcasm, and it seemed sad.

Nympho

Duan Zhiquan adjusted the front, maintained the offensive front, and turned a blind eye to the behavior of the front line soldiers.

At 1 pm, the situation changed to Duan Zhiquan's most unwilling to see -Nanhua put pressure on both sides and harassed his back road.

He didn't care about the role of the back road. Anyway, he didn't intend to run, and ran back to be a scapegoat? Even if the scapegoat was not made, the shabby ship of the Qing Empire had no value of ride.

But the back road is very important for those soldiers. Once those soldiers knew that the road was broken,

"Master." Zhong Wei walked back worriedly.

"How?" Duan Zhiquan didn't feel surprised when he saw this.

"They are too bullying, and put forward, let you surrender, they will give you prisoners of war." Zhong Weiyi said indignantly.

"I can understand, change me, is it almost?" Duan Zhiquan nodded gently, smiling? No existence.

After so many battles and unveiled it in one fell swoop, what do the people think?

Just like Beiyang's sailor Ding Junmen, he is also a general. A army general was crowded into the Navy, or because he was loyal to Lord Li, otherwise he would not be able to catch it.

Even if he was the Governor, the people below Beiyang did not take him seriously, including the sailor fleet. Although there is a large torrent of the Fujian system, as a sailor to be the governor of the sailor, it is also important to work as a big man. reason.

"Then, Master, you ..." Zhong Wei looked at his master in unbelievable. Is this still his master?

To surrender, rights and status are gone, maybe the family property may also be scratched.

"Zhongwei, you go again, and say that surrender is okay, but we must say that we were defeated and captured."

"Just say: If they agree, we will let go of their weapons, they disagree, we can only fight to the end for our family members."

Duan Zhiquan was not fainted. Although he was defeated, he wanted to run.

But what do you do to go back? Is it buried to this broken ship for the Youth Empire?

He looked farther, and he couldn't ask for it, but the surrender was not necessarily.

Whenever the new dynasties set up, they will use some old ministers in the former dynasty. What is it for?

Of course, there are insufficient talents, and those who work are not enough. The old ministers who leave some cooperation can not only do things, but also release the posture of cooperation to the outside world to stabilize people's hearts.

He was defeated for a while, but from another perspective, he also reflected his talents. At least these hasty positions could prove that his tactical fraud was successful.

Coupled with his status in the Qing Empire, I believe that the other party will not ignore him. At this time, I dormant, and by the way, I will contact the senior officials in the future. Maybe he can return to the peak?

Although it is only a possibility, it is more reliable compared to the escape not only not being punished, but also continued to be reused, and then turning to the tide.

..............

"Surveillart?" Zheng Lei stunned and didn't believe it, but he knew that no one would cheat him with this news.

After all, for Duan Zhiquan's army, victory was in front of him. In the last ten kilometers, he rushed over and won.

And in the morning, it was still in the war. Just made a breakthrough, the morale should be prosperous. It only rushed to the second line twice. Even the artillery was not opened. It should not be so easy to speak.

fire?

Zheng Lei suddenly realized that the Qing Empire Army in the face has not fired for a long time, even if he was blocked, he should rush again.

"The enemy comes from long distances, will it be that the supplies of the supplies will not keep up and will not be able to continue the attack."

"There is such a possibility."

"I agree with them to surrender, pay attention to vigilance, and be prepared for them to fall." Thinking of this, Zheng Lei nodded.

For a moment, Zheng Lei wanted to see this Duan Zhiquan.

Between the flash of light, Zheng Lei understood why Duan Zhiquan surrendered.

"Old but not dead is a thief. These officials of these green empires may respond very slowly in technology and science, but they cannot underestimate them."

"After all, it is the tip of the people rolled out in the battle in the battle, which is used to do this, but unfortunately ..."

Zheng Lei shook his head,

"Shouting to the city, their reinforcements have been wiped out. Let them surrender as soon as possible, don't make unnecessary resistance."

..............

"The Qing Empire officers and soldiers in Xuzhou City, the reinforcements such as the first and fourth town you were waiting for were wiped out by our army in the eastern part of Xuzhou, and the commander Duan Zhiquan was caught alive.

The Qing Empire had lost all the new army's maneuverability, and the failure was in front of him.

We are all brothers. You are from the three mountains and five mountains. I come from the four seas of the five lakes. The victory and defeat have been divided. There is no need to kill it. "

"Our commander -in -chief said that as long as you surrender, there is no previous subject, and you will collect weapons and issue travel expenses to ensure your life safety."

"If you are willing to join us, you can also join us.

"This afternoon, Duan Zhiquan's handsome flag will come over. You have lost it, you can understand it early! Don't do things that make the relatives hurt the enemy quickly ..."

It's definitely useless to shout. No one will admit it.

The next morning, eleven o'clock.

Site: Tower^Reading novels, welcome to download-^

A regiment of the Fourth Town that had surrendered and was received was escorted by the 11th Regiment of the Third Light Infantry Division and slowly "passed" two kilometers east of Xuzhou City.

Various officer credentials were collected and sent to Xuzhou City. Those soldiers who were already half-believing and half-doubting now believed it even more.

The soldiers who originally did not believe had to admit that they might have suffered another defeat outside the city.

"Sir, the morale of the army is unstable. How should we deal with it?" The commander of the Third Town was unhappy. The reinforcements were killed. Doesn't that mean they are isolated?

Can an isolated army defend? Can it hold? How long can the morale last?

"Deal with the soldiers first, and I will find a way to deal with the others." Feng Huafu rubbed his eyebrows.

After defending for so long, surrendering is no longer an easy thing.

But don't surrender, just defend to the death?

"How much food do we have?" Feng Huafu looked at the quartermaster.

"The food is enough for the army to eat for more than a month, and there are more than half a month's worth of bullets and shells. With the part distributed to various departments, it is not a problem to last for a month."

"In other words, we only have enough supplies to barely support the army for a month? This is not a problem, what is the problem?" Feng Huafu's tone was a little harsh, with a hint of questioning.

"Mr. President, medicine! Gauze for hemostatic bandages, hemostatic powder, wound medicine, antipyretic medicine for suppuration, and even herbal medicine for treating diarrhea are seriously insufficient. A group of wounded soldiers are wailing in the wounded soldiers' station, and the commander is scared when he hears it." The quartermaster knew what Feng Huafu wanted to hear in an instant.

He Feng Huafu also wanted to surrender! He also wanted to find a reasonable reason.

After all, this is a surrender. Without a reasonable reason, there will definitely be many people who stand up. No matter how they deal with it at that time, the hearts of these people will be scattered.

If a whole army surrenders, Feng Huafu can sell it for a good price, and they can also benefit from it.

Once the internal conflict breaks out, the people below will lose their minds, do their own thing, and surrender in a scattered manner, and they will get nothing.

"Well! Go and search for medicines, search the whole city. In addition, there are many soldiers whose ancestors were doctors. Transfer them from the army to the wounded to assist in treating the wounded."

...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Huafu's personal soldiers waved white flags and sent each other to the revolutionary army's position. They turned around and around. At four o'clock in the afternoon, they were received by Zheng Lei and walked to Zheng Lei's command post.

Zheng Lei directly placed the negotiation site in the command post without hiding military secrets.

"Sir Zheng, I have heard a lot about you." Feng Huafu's butler Afu bowed to Zheng Lei in an intimate tone.

"Butler Fu, to make a long story short, your demands are not high, but we will not agree to any of them!" Zheng Lei did not mean to beat around the bush.

"Ah?! This..." Ah Fu was stunned, but he came back to his senses immediately.

"Then, what does Lord Zheng mean? We still have some gold and silver, but my Lord..." Ah Fu made a tentative offer.

Before coming in, he had told the receptionist about Feng Huafu's request, and Zheng Lei had also known the request long ago.

In theory, letting someone come in to talk means that it is partially agreed and there is some room for negotiation.

What we need to do next is just you lower the price and I raise the price, and find a price that both parties can accept. If we can't find it, we will continue to fight until we fail on the battlefield or return to the negotiation table.

"Gold and silver? That's right. It's abnormal to have no money after holding power for so many years, but I'm not a beggar who comes to ask for money." Zheng Lei shook his head.

"My request is very simple. Surrender and disarm everyone. We will guarantee the safety of your life and private property."

"But those with criminal records need to be punished according to the law. Even if they have embezzled property and bullied the people in the village, we will hold them accountable."

"Of course, I hope they don't surrender. In this way, we can save a series of troubles such as investigation, interrogation, arrest and judgment."

Zheng Lei said it easily, but Ah Fu didn't think so.

"Mr. Zheng, you are joking. The world is so big, and there are so many injustices. How can you manage them?"

"Take Xuzhou City for example. Because of the war, the people were displaced, their houses were destroyed, and their property accumulated over the years was gone. Who can they go to for justice?"

"In the city, the two towns are still arguing over various material distribution issues. The two towns and the two Japanese divisions will also be bullied because of various problems."

"It has been like this for so many years." Ah Fu pointed at Feng Huafu's chips - four divisions and Xuzhou City.

"Don't manage it if you can't manage it? What's the reason?" Zheng Lei frowned.

"If a farmer has one hectare of land, but no cows, he can only plow the land by manpower. If he can't finish it in one day, then he won't plow it?"

"No wonder, no wonder the dynasty only lasted three hundred years, and the problems accumulated day by day. For three hundred years, the people can really endure it!"

"Mr. Duan, you come and talk to him." Zheng Lei shouted to the back.

"Duan... Marshal Duan! Why are you here?!" Ah Fu looked at Duan Zhiquan who came out from the back of the house in horror.

Duan Zhiquan smiled bitterly and looked at Zheng Lei: "Commander Zheng, why don't you let me talk to him?"

Zheng Lei nodded, and he didn't even care about the military secret of a table, and turned his head directly.

"Duan Da Shuai, what's the matter with this? Are you really arrested?" Afu asked before seeing no one.

"Well ~~ I am ashamed. I was ordered to Xie Huafu Xuzhou, but I got this point ..." Duan Zhiquan shook his head.

"The South Chinese do not have the idea of ​​hidden military layout at all, sand tables, maps, files," all are true. "

"After besieging our ministry, the South China Army has liberated three divisions, and it can go north to continue to attack Xuzhou City."

"Northern Xuzhou, no army can fight against the southern Chinese or the revolutionary army.

"Hua Fu let you come, I probably know his thoughts. Go back and tell him that instead of competing for those benefits and broken your face, it is better to re -lay again."

Duan Zhiquan knows that although it is alone, it should not be too long. Being a man is the most important thing is to know your identity.
