Fengxian Jiangshan

At a distance of less than twenty kilometers, it can be killed with a single charge. This is also the first time that Fengjun has concentrated on using armored forces on a large scale.Zhang Tingshu and the others all had fun and moved forward at the fastest speed.Seeing that the sun was about to set in the west, the red sunset glow illuminated the entire sky.

Chengde, which had just been ravaged by the flames of war, revealed a strange sense of tranquility. The Beiyang Army lost ground and didn't know what to do.At this moment, there was a huge roar on the eastern horizon, and all the Beiyang soldiers on guard were startled.They thought it was the plane coming again, and some of them were timid and even looked around for hiding places. The lesson the plane taught them was too profound.

But they waited for a long time, but they didn't find anything in the sky. Instead, a huge dust surged up on the ground in the distance.In the dust, some fast-moving objects were faintly seen again.The Beiyang Army was startled by the plane first.Already feeling a little frightened.Now that they saw the unknown weapon again, each of them felt a little weak in their calves, and they felt a desire to run away.

Gradually, the armored vehicles got closer and closer, and some Beiyang sentries rushed up helplessly, and shot these steel monsters with carbines from a long distance.But when the bullet hit the vehicle, it only splashed a spark, and did not hurt the armored vehicle at all.The men were terrified again.

There is no way to fight this battle, Feng Jun always brings out a bunch of weird things.They haven't even seen each other, so how can they deal with them?These sentries all fled in all directions, running around like wild ducks.

Zhang Tingshu kept his head on the outside of the armored vehicle, carefully observing the situation of the Beiyang Army, seeing these guys fleeing, he was so happy that he commanded all the vehicles to ram directly towards the Beiyang Army's position.

On the way they came, there were two more armored vehicles lying on the ground. In the end, only eighteen armored vehicles actually reached the battlefield, but this did not hinder the huge momentum in the slightest.These armored vehicles lined up in a geese formation, with their wings extended, galloping up, behind them were dust raised high, filling the sky, and it was impossible to see how many vehicles there were from a distance.

The soldiers of Beiyang were all frightened when they saw this situation, and they didn't know how to deal with it. The distance between the vehicles was getting closer and closer, and they easily ran over a trench. Some obstacles placed did not have any effect. The armored vehicle went forward bravely, without any obstruction, and in a blink of an eye, it arrived at the position 200 meters away from the Beiyang Army's position. Until then, two machine guns opened fire crazily. Besides, there is no effect, just like scratching an itch, it has no effect at all.

Moreover, the machine guns on the armored vehicle finally fired. The two machine guns spit out flames. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers were smashed into pieces, and the sound of the two machine guns also stopped.Then the armored vehicle moved forward quickly, mercilessly running over the machine gun position, the huge track pressed against the machine gun, and this killing weapon instantly turned into a pile of twisted parts.

Seeing such a brutal scene, those Beiyang soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to flee crazily. Fear spread among the Beiyang troops like a plague, and more and more people joined the ranks of fleeing.

Zhang Tingshu was triumphant, the second young master had never been so majestic, he commanded the armored vehicle as if entering no one's land, advancing quickly, wherever he went, all the Beiyang troops fled wildly, and did not dare to fight.

At this time, another huge cloud of smoke and dust appeared in the north, and it was rushing here quickly.This is officially the Jehol Cavalry Brigade commanded by Wu Kaijie.It turned out that this army was stationed in Chifeng, and it only needed to fight the Mongolian bandits. Zhang Tinglan naturally transferred this army to help Chengde this time.

Wu Kaijie and the others often hunted down Mongolian bandits, and they had long learned the tactics of one man and two horses. After receiving the order, they rushed to Chengde at the fastest speed, and they didn't feel sorry for the horses at all.But hurriedly, they were still one step behind, and the armored soldiers had already entered the battle.

Wu Kaijie could only command the cavalry to follow up quickly along the opening opened by the armored vehicle.With the help of the cavalry behind, the armored vehicle did not have to worry about being attacked from the side. Zhang Tingshu was even more confident, and made a deep assault on the Beiyang Army.

Xu Shuzheng and the others were still in the headquarters discussing where to go, the staff officer ran in in a panic, and said as soon as they met: "Supervisor, Fengjun's reinforcements have arrived, and they are all steel chariots. Brothers don't know how to deal with them, they are all scared!" Stupid, run away one after another!"

As soon as Xiao Xu heard the report, his eyes went dark and he almost fell to the ground. He was quite knowledgeable, knowing that Feng Jun had displayed this weapon in a military parade, but he didn't expect to use it on himself now.

Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that Fengjun is a monstrous evildoer? Beiyang is sitting on the resources of the central government, and his weapons and equipment are seriously behind them. It is a shame and a shame!"

"Supervisor, I don't have time to feel emotional now, I should retreat quickly, at least stabilize the morale of the army first, and then fight again!" Chen Wenyun couldn't help but said.

Xu Shuzheng reluctantly nodded: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen, after each of you leave one regiment, the other troops will retreat temporarily.". )

Chapter 492 The Turtle in the Urn

"Brothers, work harder, Gubeikou is ahead, make sure to arrive before dawn!"

Jiang Dengxuan personally led the Feng army to quickly rush towards Gubeikou. Gubeikou is an important point above the Great Wall. It connects North China and Inner Mongolia. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Break through, and then march into Chengde.

When the Feng army was planning a counter-offensive, Zhang Tinglan sent Jiang Dengxuan to personally lead the army, and sent troops from the direction of Shanhaiguan to take the pass along the Great Wall into his hands and cut off Xiao Xu's way back to Beijing.Jiang Dengxuan would naturally not be polite. He personally commanded the first brigade of Fengtian Third Division, plus an artillery regiment, with a total of 8000 troops, and quickly marched westward.

They reached Xifengkou with the fastest speed. As a result, the Beiyang army stationed here was not on guard at all, and the Feng army easily attacked Xifengkou.Jiang Dengxuan was very happy in his heart, this was tantamount to closing a door for the Beiyang Army.He left a regiment of troops stationed along Xifengkou, the main force did not stop, and rushed towards Gubeikou with the fastest speed.

On the long ancient road, the soldiers of the Feng army marched at the fastest speed, and a large number of horses dragged the heavy artillery vehicles, running desperately, the yellow sand raised up covered the sky, and the torrent was unstoppable.

Marching hurriedly for a day and a night, finally Gubeikou was in sight, and Jiang Dengxuan immediately set out to arrange the siege plan regardless of his fatigue.At this time, it was Ma Liang, the division commander of the participating army, who was stationed at Gubeikou.After Xiao Xu entered Rehe from here, he left Ma Liang at Gubeikou and asked him to guard the rear of the Beiyang Army.

Ma Liang was still a little dissatisfied. Others could enter Rehe and receive awards for their meritorious service, but he could only watch the house behind.He also didn't think there was any value in guarding Gubeikou. The main force of the Feng army had been dragged to the three eastern provinces, and they were confronting the Japanese.Even if you want to send troops to help.There are no soldiers to send, attacking Rehe now is taking advantage of the sky.

How can I be happy without his Ma Liang's share in such good things, so Ma Liang is full of resentment.He was drinking in the headquarters, when suddenly his soldiers ran in in a panic.

"Master, something is wrong. The supervisor has lost the battle in Chengde and is fleeing back!" The staff officer took a telegram and sent it to Ma Liang in panic.

Ma Liang hurriedly took the telegram.After only a few glances, his face suddenly changed color, and his hands trembled a little: "Supervisor Xu has brought more than 3 horses and has an absolute advantage. How could he fail?"

"Teacher. I heard that the supervisory office has been attacking Chengde for a long time, but the Fengjun reinforcements arrived. The equipment is very well equipped. Our participating army is not an opponent, and we were defeated as soon as we made contact."

"Hey!" Ma Liang let out a long sigh: "The supervisor is not the opponent of Fengjun, what curse do I have, I'd better go back to Beijing and Tianjin, this Fengjun is really not easy to mess with!"

"Master, the Superintendent asked you to guard Gubeikou. This is the throat of our retreat. If it is lost, more than 3 brothers will become lonely ghosts and will never return to the pass."

Ma Liang nodded.Then he said: "You go and convey the order, let all the brothers strengthen their guards and patrols, and guard the main passes. Especially the Longeryu area on the eastern front is very important. If the Fengjun kills them, it must be from this direction attack."

Xiao Xu's whole army was in trouble, so Ma Liang had to work hard, otherwise the big tree would fall, and how could these hozens enjoy the shade.At this time, Xiao Xu was indeed very miserable. When he gave the order to retreat, he left two regiments as the rear troops.I was counting on them to hold back Fengjun and buy time for the retreat.

However, these two regiments had lost all morale. After encountering Wu Kaijie's cavalry, they collapsed at the first touch, and did not play the role of breaking the rear at all. On the contrary, they rushed for their lives.And at this moment, Zhang Tinglan led the main force of the 27th Division to arrive. After the army was deployed, they killed them with their buttocks around.

As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, Xu Shuzheng has no choice but to fight and retreat in the face of Fengjun's pursuit. At this time, Qu Tongfeng, who ran from the direction of Guangrenling, also joined Xu Shuzheng. After discussing, they decided to Decided to go to Luanping first.It is 65 kilometers away from Chengde and only 20 kilometers away from Gubeikou. It has been the northern gate of Beijing since ancient times and is an important strategic location north of the Great Wall.

After controlling Luanping, Xiangnan can calmly retreat to Beijing and Tianjin, and northward he can resist Fengjun and keep a foothold in Rehe Province.Xiao Xu still didn't give up at this time, and wanted to wait for the opportunity to compete with Feng Jun again after he stabilized his position to see who would win.

The Beiyang army fled frantically, and the Feng army quickly pursued them. There were routs everywhere on the road, discarded ordnance, rations, and other supplies.

Zhang Tinglan commanded the troops and chased them for [-] to [-] miles before gathering the troops. Zhang Tingshu happily reported the results to him.

"Brother, our armored vehicle brigade participated in the battle for the first time, and killed more than 300 enemy soldiers, captured more than 1000 people, captured six Krupp cannons, paid 20 yuan, and countless other supplies. It's not bad!"

"Stop cocking your tail in front of me!" Zhang Tinglan stared, and said loudly: "You are taking a risk, relying on the Beiyang Army's ignorance of the weakness of armor power, and took advantage of it. If they find the law, rely on Armored vehicles with relatively weak defenses cannot break through the enemy at all, and must use tanks with greater power and stronger protection."

Zhang Tingshu curled his lips disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are the rigid one. The younger brother believed that the Beiyang Army is not familiar with armored vehicles, so he did this. If it is replaced by the army of the big powers, I promise to use troops cautiously and not make mistakes. .”

"Don't think that you have really made meritorious service. You are a typical tactical victory and strategic failure." Zhang Tinglan said, "Don't forget that we were going to wipe out Xiao Xu at the beginning. If you don't rush him away, but Keeping Xu Shuzheng's troops stuck in Chengde bought more time for Jiang Dengxuan and them. If Jiang Dengxuan and the others didn't take Gubeikou first, and Xiao Xu took this opportunity and ran back to the pass, I'll take you as a question!"

After hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Zhang Tingshu was a little dumbfounded. He really only thought about how to deal with the enemy in front of him, but didn't think about the overall situation. Something went wrong.

"Report to the seat of the master, something is wrong, Feng Jun is here!"

"What?" Ma Liang suddenly stood up, and said loudly: "Have you figured it out, Feng Jun really came here?"

"That's right, the scouts can see clearly, there are at least several thousand people, and they are less than five kilometers away from Gubeikou!"

Ma Liang's head suddenly buzzed. He had just deployed troops to strengthen the defense, and Feng's army killed them later. This was too fast, and there was almost no time for people to react.Moreover, although he was a division commander, he only had two regiments in his hands, and the other troops were taken away by Xu Shuzheng.

With this little man in hand, Ma Liang wanted to fight against the Feng army. He was also panicked, and hurriedly said to the signal soldier: "Hurry up and send the order, let the second battalion and the third battalion enter the position, strengthen the defense, and be sure to guard Gubeikou , I will send a report to the supervisor now and let him return to the customs quickly!"

Just when Ma Liang was assigning troops, he suddenly heard the sound of violent shelling, and the shells dragged red flames and smashed into the Beiyang Army's position in the direction of Longeryu.In order to take into account the marching speed, Jiang Dengxuan did not carry a 150 120mm artillery, and the largest caliber was only a [-] [-]mm howitzer.

However, this kind of artillery still has too many advantages over Beiyang's [-]th artillery, with a longer range and greater power. Although Fengjun's artillery is in a disadvantageous situation, it does not prevent Fengjun from easily suppressing Beiyang.

In fact, being able to do this is also related to Fengjun's new shooting technology. The Beiyang Army generally stays at the stage of direct aiming, and hits wherever it sees.Feng Jun has long implemented indirect aiming, using trigonometric calculations to determine the angle and distance of shooting.Not only can you hit farther and more accurately, but you can also protect yourself better.

The Beiyang artillerymen were the first to be greeted by the Fengjun artillerymen. Under the fierce bombardment, all a dozen cannons were blown into parts, and the artillerymen were also killed and injured.

After solving the threat of the artillery, the muzzle was aimed at other Beiyang troops again. The shells were like meteors, hitting the Beiyang positions. Once a shell fell, it could create a no-man's land of 30 meters. Life was reduced to primitive particles, and the trenches were completely leveled.

Soldiers who were a little further away were not spared either. Many of them were already wounded. These people could swear that this was the most violent bombardment they had ever encountered in their lives. It was almost endless. The entire front line was bombed There are piles of dead bodies.Many Beiyang soldiers were not directly hit by the artillery, but the violent vibration was enough to destroy their internal organs. These soldiers died on the edge of the trench, their eyes were full of horror, and black blood foam continued to flow from the corners of their mouths.

Seeing these dead and wounded people was like seeing hell. The other Beiyang Army finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to flee. A small group of soldiers fled towards the frontal position.

Jiang Dengxuan had been observing the situation on the battlefield. When he saw that the shelling was almost done, he gave the order for the infantry to charge. The soldiers lined up in a perfect formation, and each group leaped forward quickly. The machine guns and mortars provided the guarantee of firepower. Any enemy who still dares to resist will be destroyed without mercy.

Fengjun took Longeryu with a single charge, and the right wing gate of Gubeikou was opened. Jiang Dengxuan went up to Longeryu himself, and the artillery was brought up. After occupying this high ground, Fengjun's artillery could calmly Attack the Beiyang Army on the main position of Gubeikou.

For a while, Beiyang soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, and even Ma Liang's headquarters was almost destroyed by shells. When Feng Jun made a move, it was so fierce that Ma Liang was even more frightened. preparation.
