Seeing that the Qingyuan cavalry was about to run away, the Cossacks were not willing to give way. Under the whistle of the officers, they swung their cloaks and followed closely behind.Although Qingyuan lost more than half of the battle just now, but because the sabers were not as good as the opponent's, the Cossacks' losses were definitely more than doubled, and they really suffered a lot.How could these proud Cossacks be convinced by these short Eastern Continental cavalrymen? They immediately chased after them to save face, at least they had to annihilate them all.

At this moment, the flames of machine guns formed a terrifying bullet net, covering the Cossack cavalry from the flanks.Because it was a flank attack, the cavalry was hit by bombs in a large area. As a result, the machine gun fire achieved brilliant results. Many cavalry fell to the ground one after another, and the Cossack cavalry suffered heavy losses.

"Ulla." The Cossack cavalry shouted, waving their sabers desperately, but their morale was gradually declining.The Qingyuan cavalrymen in the rear drew out their spears one after another, and some raised their light machine guns and fired at the Luocha army who were chasing after them.

Compared with the Cossack cavalry who are proficient in swords and horses, the Qingyuan cavalry also has its own unique skills.These natural cavalrymen who grew up on horseback have a strong ability to control the horse with their feet alone, so they can free up their hands to use firearms.In the previous training, the Qingyuan Cavalrymen practiced their unique skills.Shooting on a fast horse, the accuracy rate can reach more than four out of ten shots. This kind of shooting difficulty can already be regarded as a sharpshooter.

The Cossack cavalry had no training in this area. As a result, they suffered a lot in the pursuit and had to retreat. "Rescue the cavalry brothers immediately." Seeing the Cossack cavalry retreat, Xu Haiqing commanded a regiment of infantry to go forward to search for his own wounded soldiers and corpses at the place where the scuffle had just occurred.Xu Xiaogang turned the muzzle of the gun and closely monitored the Cossack cavalry to prevent the opponent from returning to the carbine.

Ma Hongkui and others were very moved to see the Hualan infantry who went to the battlefield to search for the wounded cavalry of the Yi-Hungarians at the risk of being counter-attacked.Wu Ziyu was also very satisfied with Xu Haiqing's actions, watching the excited Yi-Hungarian cavalrymen jumping off their horses, and watching the infantrymen carrying their wounded back home nodded their heads in goodwill.Wu Ziyu knew that after this incident was reported back to Qingyuan, the gap between the Huayi and Yi clans would be greatly eliminated.

The recovered wounded were immediately sent to the bandaging station, and most of them were able to recover because of the timely rescue.After the two sides stopped fighting, there was a rare calm on the battlefield for a while.The Cossack cavalry needed a break before continuing to fight, but Wu Ziyu frowned.

The combat cavalry regiment lost a lot just now. More than [-] soldiers were killed in battle. There were also a similar number of seriously wounded who lost their combat effectiveness. Most of the remaining people were slightly injured.What worries him the most is that the Raksha people appear here in such a timely manner, which shows that Yuan Dahua and others have surrendered to the Raksha country and decided to lure wolves into the house.

Some people colluded with foreign enemies to invade. This is definitely bad news. Wu Ziyu knew that if he didn't handle it well, it would be easy to create an excuse for the Raksha Kingdom to invade.The best way to deal with these intruders is to be steady and ruthless.Only by beating him to death in one fell swoop can this stupid polar bear in the Raksha Kingdom be kept quiet for a few years.

In order to achieve the goal of knowing himself and the enemy, Wu Ziyu immediately released all the reconnaissance troops, intending to find out the deployment of the opponent's troops before the Raksha army fully arrived.The scouts quickly fed back the news. The intelligence showed that it was not optimistic. Sixty miles to the west, a huge infantry force of the Raksha Kingdom was approaching, with at least 3 people.

The 3-strong Rakshasa Army is equivalent to two regular divisions plus a 5000-strong Cossack cavalry brigade, which is exactly the size of an army in the Rakshasa Kingdom.Wu Ziyu didn't know how much Yuan Dahua betrayed the country's interests by taking refuge in the Raksha people.But he is very clear that if he does not eliminate this Raksha army, a large area of ​​Hualan territory will change hands, and there will be more diplomatic troubles in the future.

The Shu army temporarily broke away from contact with the Yili army. They assembled into formations and began to build fortified positions using the engineer shovels they carried with them, waiting for the main force of the Luocha army to arrive.

Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Dimitrov, the Fourth Army of the Turkestan Army of the Raksha State finally arrived outside the city of Ili.Although the Raksha Army had paid a certain amount of attention to the soldiers of the Eastern Continent after the disastrous defeat in the Japanese Luo War, it was only limited to the Japanese Army.For the Hualan Army, in their eyes they were still the decadent post-Gold Army, so when they saw the Shu Army waiting in full force, Lieutenant General Dimitrov immediately launched an attack without the slightest hesitation.

Chapter 4 and Eight

The Luocha army didn't know that the army in front of them was not an ordinary Hualan army.They are an army formed strictly according to the latest establishment of the Western Continent, and trained by biochemical human instructors.This army not only has extremely high military literacy, comparable to the tactical level of the Teutonic Army, but also has complete firepower equipment.

The quality of the artillery of the Raksha National Army is good, and they quickly deployed all kinds of artillery in their hands.Although in order to speed up the march, most of the artillery they brought this time were small-caliber artillery such as 76mm mountain cannons and 37mm flat-firing cannons, but they believed that they were enough to threaten the Shu army on the opposite side.

The artillerymen of the Raksha State whistled and filled the cannonballs one by one. Following the command of the commander, hundreds of cannons fired in unison, and the sound of explosions was endless.The Shu army has long hid in solid earthworks. These fortifications, which were excavated according to the training subjects of the recruit company, have strong anti-gun holes and broken-line trenches, which can greatly weaken the opponent's firepower advantage. Therefore, the Luocha Army just now The result of a round of shelling is not great.

The artillerymen of the Raksha State were careless, and they didn't take the Hualan people seriously.In order to facilitate the shelling, the gunners of the Raksha State built the shells next to the gun positions for easy access at any time.Doing so can speed up the shelling speed, but it also puts itself in a very dangerous situation, but the Raksha people don't think that Hualan's army is equipped with artillery.

Xu Xiaogang had long been looking for the location of the artillery of the Raksha Kingdom. When the opponent launched a bombardment, Xu Xiaogang immediately calculated the position of the opponent's artillery position.The artillery of the Shu army switched to high-explosive shells, and the muzzle began to aim at the artillery positions of the Luocha army.The Rakshasa's shelling was very efficient, and three rounds of shelling were fired in the blink of an eye. However, when they were about to launch the fourth round of salvo, a large cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in the distance.

The artillery colonel of the Raksha Army who was in charge of the command was taken aback. Based on his experience, this was the smoke that only occurs when large-caliber artillery clusters are fired.Before he could warn, dense black shells had already fallen from the sky.With an unparalleled strong wind pressure, more than a dozen high-explosive shells with a caliber of [-]mm landed on the artillery positions of the Luocha Army one after another.

Violent explosions and shock waves scattered in all directions, and the artillerymen of the Rakshasa Army were blown away, and those who were unlucky were torn apart by the shells.Some shells accidentally hit near the ammunition pile, and the result was a chain reaction.The artillery positions of the Luocha Army continued to explode, and the artillery suffered heavy losses.After the shelling was over, the surviving artillerymen of the Raksha Army discovered that many of their mountain cannons had been blown to pieces, and some barrels were even twisted into twists due to the huge shock waves and high temperatures.

Hearing that our artillery suffered heavy losses in World War I, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, Dimitrov almost sprayed his old blood on the table.Before the two sides formally engaged in battle, one's own artillery had suffered heavy losses. If the news spread back to the country, he would definitely be dismissed and investigated.

Annoyed and furious, Dimitrov ordered the army to charge immediately, and he wanted to cover up his mistakes with victory.Numerous Raksha soldiers shouted Ula and charged the Shu army's defense line.At this time, the [-]mm howitzer group, which was ten kilometers away, bullied the Raksha army without large-caliber artillery. They unscrupulously used shrapnel to kill and wound the Raksha army's assault team, and achieved considerable results.

The mortars arranged in the tunnel spoke one after another, covering the officers and soldiers of the Luocha Kingdom who were attacking with dense shells.Soon the mountain guns and mortars of various calibers of the artillery at all levels began to roar, and the dense explosion of shells made Dimitrov almost think that he was fighting an army group.Or Dimitrov hoped that he was fighting an army so that his charges would be less serious.

The sturdy soldiers of the Rakshasa Army have been famous for their hand-to-hand combat for a hundred years, and they are not afraid of death at all.Shouting Ulla, the soldiers of the Rakshasa army launched an infantry charge as usual.The Shu Army gave full play to its superiority in firepower and used machine guns to fire violently at the Luocha army's charge. However, such intensive shooting still could not stop the Luocha army from advancing.Most of the soldiers of the Shu army who had never seen such a formation turned pale. It is conceivable that they were shocked in the face of the group charge without fear of death.

"All bayonets." Seeing that the bullets could no longer stop the Luocha army's attack, Wu Ziyu immediately gave the order for hand-to-hand combat.Shu soldiers are no strangers to hand-to-hand combat. As early as in the training of their new barracks, hand-to-hand combat has been a key training item.

Facing the Maozi of the Raksha Country who was getting closer and closer, Zhou Dao just jumped up. He picked up a bayonet-mounted rifle and shouted: "Everyone, follow me, and drive the Maozi of the Raksha Country back." Waving his rifle, he led the guard platoon to charge up first, and then Xu Haiqing also led the charge.

Two division commanders took the lead in charging, and the soldiers of the Shu army quickly stabilized their emotions.According to their usual training, the three of them formed a triangular formation, and each formation cooperated with each other to advance in parallel, and killed the Raksha army.The tall and strong Rakshasa army boasted that they were extremely brave and good at hand-to-hand combat. They wanted to bully the thin and weak Hualan people and gain an advantage in hand-to-hand combat. As a result, they suffered as soon as they fought.

The three-person team of the Shu army cooperated tacitly, and they attacked well and defended well. As soon as they came up, they beat the Raksha people in a hurry.The strong body that is usually proud of has become a burden at this time. It is difficult for the Raksha people who are not flexible enough to escape the joint attack of the soldiers of the Shu army. It was not until more than ten minutes after the fight that the Raksha people barely adapted to it. opponent's attack.

Since Liu Zhensheng served as the head coach of the Shu army's martial arts, he used the spear skills he learned to create a set of bayonet and knife skills.After learning the new sword technique, the Shu army's stabbing level has been greatly improved, and it is almost invincible with the triangular array.

Because of these advantages, the Shu army took a great advantage in hand-to-hand combat. Compared with the casualties of the Raksha people, the casualties of the Shu army were much smaller, but Wu Ziyu still felt very distressed.This Shu army is the only team in the country with such a high combat effectiveness, but the Luocha army has millions of troops, which is really unaffordable.

Fortunately, the people of the Raksha country gradually ran out of support, and some of the Raksha country people who couldn't stand it broke away from contact and fled one after another, and even their injured companions couldn't care about them.Seeing that the Luocha army had disengaged, the soldiers of the Shu army did not pursue them. They quickly inspected the battlefield and carried all their injured brothers back to the trenches for treatment.With the treatment of first aid kits, most of the wounded stabilized quickly.

Chapter 4 Ili Surrenders

As for those who are seriously injured, it doesn't matter. When the medical soldiers are unable to treat them, they will call for a stretcher.Send the seriously wounded to the dressing station at the rear, or to the field hospital at the division level for rescue, so as to save the lives of soldiers to the greatest extent.

"Show the old man a good look, and all the artillerymen will cover and shoot." Wu Ziyu saw through the binoculars that the Raksha army was gathering troops to launch an attack. He immediately ordered the artillerymen to launch a sneak attack to disrupt the opponent's offensive preparations.

The Raksha people assembled the whole team at the starting position, and some officers were lecturing to boost morale.They swaggered their fists and shouted loudly, but they didn't know that the danger was approaching.The dense artillery shells fell into the starting point of the attack, blowing up the Raksha soldiers, and they suddenly realized that they had not launched an attack yet, and they were already in danger.

Wu Ziyu's sudden artillery attack not only disrupted the deployment of the Raksha army, but also killed and wounded thousands of Raksha army soldiers.The commander of the Rakshasa army, Dimitrov, finally understood that what he was facing was not the post-golden army in the traditional sense.He was secretly surprised that he was about to fight against a Hualan army who had the equipment and training level of the Western Continent. Now he had to re-examine his opponent and not be careless in the slightest.

The Luocha army took the initiative to retreat ten kilometers, distanced itself from the Shu army, and reorganized its troops to make up for the losses.Seeing the retreat of the Raksha army, Wu Ziyu immediately sent a large number of scouts to monitor the opponent's actions, and then Xu Haiqing's third division crossed Yili City to deploy a defense line to prevent the Raksha army from counterattacking again.

Zhou Daogang's Second Division cooperated with Xu Xiaogang's artillery and launched an attack on Yili City again.Yuan Dahua was completely panicked. Originally, he thought that with the help of the Raksha people, he could at least keep the area of ​​Yili.As for the territorial issue, we have to wait for the court to negotiate with the Luocha Kingdom, at least he can survive.

Yuan Dahua originally thought that this matter was a sure thing, but when he saw that the Shu army was able to fight against the Raksha people in a precise manner, and even repelled the Raksha people in the end, he was completely dumbfounded.Over the years, the imperial court has never won against foreign powers, and even a small partial victory was obtained in exchange for several times the casualties.

When had Yuan Dahua ever seen such a powerful Hualan army, not only was able to face the enemy head-on with the Raksha army, but also had a faint upper hand, how could this not be shocking.Not to mention Yuan Dahua, Yang Zengxin, Yang Peilan and Yang Zanxu, who were always standing beside him, and the soldiers of the new army were all dumbfounded.

Seeing that the Shu army took a break and immediately sent an army to slowly advance towards Yili City, Yang Peilan couldn't help asking Yang Zengxin hesitantly: "According to Mr. Chasi, can we fight such an army?"

"This..." Yang Zengxin gasped.He really wanted to say that he could fight well, but he probably wouldn't believe such words.As the procurator for criminal punishment, Yang Zengxin can't say that he can't beat him, and his morale will definitely collapse in an instant.

Yuan Dahua actually relieved Yang Zengxin. He shook his head lonely and said, "Forget it, the imperial court is exhausted. It is not something you and I can save. It is better not to make excuses for the Raksha people to invade, but also to the brothers. Leave a way out, and I order all Kaesong to surrender." After he finished speaking, he shook his head, turned around and left, and returned to the mansion Yuan Dahua hanged himself to death, which can be regarded as his loyalty to the later Jin court.

"Oh, it's a crime of non-war. It's because you and I don't have good weapons in our hands." Yang Zengxin sighed. Now that Yuan Dahua has left, he is the supreme commander. The order to surrender can only be given by him.The city gate of Yili opened wide soon, and groups of golden soldiers lined up out of the city with their hands raised high, and then threw their weapons on the edge of the city gate.

The advancing Shu army stopped immediately when they saw the opponent opening the door and leaving the city. Wu Ziyu thought that the opponent was desperate to fight with him, but he didn't expect to surrender.In order to prevent the other party from cheating, Wu Ziyu ordered the large troops to continue to monitor, and only sent two companies to collect weapons and escort the prisoners.Obviously, the battle just now frightened the Hou Jin army, and they cooperated very well with the disarming work. It took only 10 minutes for the Shu army to take over the entire Yili City.

Yang Zengxin and others were brought in front of Wu Ziyu, and when they saw Wu Ziyu surrounded by many guards, they knew that he must be a high-ranking official, and they saluted immediately to express their willingness to surrender.

"Everyone took the initiative to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and Wu is deeply grateful. You are all leaders in the army. I invite you to study at Zhongchuan Army University for a period of time, and then how about joining our Shu army?" Wu Ziyu asked with a smile.

Yang Peilan looked at the two people next to her, then cupped her hands and said, "I'm tired of my military career, and I'm willing to return to Linquan to live my life."

"I'm willing too." Yang Zanxu said.

"Everyone has their own aspirations and I will not force them to stay. Now that I have decided to go, I am willing to offer a sum of money to help the two settle down." Wu Ziyu did not force the other party to stay, he turned to Yang Zengxin and said: "Master Yang has always been Fame, don’t you plan to follow us to do a great cause? Now the fall of Houjin is irreversible, but the rise of our Hualan nation has just begun. The man is in this troubled time, and the lintel of glory will not be buried when we expand the territory own."

Yang Zengxin is an ambitious person, and he also claims to be a capable person.Hearing what Wu Ziyu said, he couldn't help being moved: "I would like to follow Master Wu and fight for a piece of heaven and earth for our Hualan nation."

"Okay, haha. With Brother Yang joining, our Shu army will definitely be stronger." Wu Ziyu was full of joy. He first explained to Yang Zengxin that all the generals who joined the Shu army had to go to Zhongchuan Army University for advanced studies, so as not to make him suspicious .Then he decided to let Yang Zengxin stay in the post for two months to help him integrate the military and government affairs in northern Xinjiang, and then report for duty, so that he can report to his superiors first.

Yang Zengxin naturally readily agreed. Looking at the super quality and advanced weapons of the Shu army, he felt that he would be able to do a great job.The fall of Yili City marked that the entire northern border had been controlled by the Dashu military government. Wu Ziyu originally planned to fortify Yili City against the Raksha army.He didn't expect that when he heard the news of the fall of Ili City, Dimitrov immediately decided to retreat and no longer had contact with the Shu army.

Seeing the Luocha army retreating, Wu Ziyu did not pursue them.He ordered one regiment to be stationed in Yili, and the other troops dispersed to control the entire northern Xinjiang. At the same time, he reported victory to Zhao Shouhong and asked the government to immediately send officials to restore the government organization in northern Xinjiang.

Different from Wu Ziyu's twists and turns in the battle in northern Xinjiang, the three independent brigades on the other side, under the unified command of Gao Yuhan, marched into Lanzhou along the railway line, and occupied the largest city in the Western Regions in just five days , Peng Yingjia, who stayed behind, led the Lanzhou officials to surrender.Then the three independent brigades divided into several groups, quickly seized all the counties in the Western Regions, and at the same time planned to advance to the plateau province.

4 Chapter [-] Stop Borderline

Xiong Chengji personally led his own independent Seventh Brigade to undertake the task of attacking Plateau Province.The army advanced completely on foot and crossed Maiji Mountain at the fastest speed, and there was already a large piece of land in Baoji in front of them.At this time, they suddenly received a telegram from the staff headquarters.

"Brigade Commander, the staff headquarters called and asked us to stop advancing immediately." The operator sent a telegram to Xiong Chengji.

Xiong Chengji, who was observing the terrain in front of him with a telescope, was taken aback: "What? Could it be a mistake in translating the telegram?" He took the telegram and read it.This telegram was sent by Jiang Fangzhen himself, and it said that the Gongxing Society had launched an uprising on the [-]nd.They formed the Qinlong Fushu Army and controlled most of the prefectures and counties in Plateau Province.
