Chapter 412: Seventeen Marches into the Great Northwest


"I hate it, a big president, speaking so inappropriately."

Pan Qiaoyu lowered her head and took a sip of tea, smiled and asked about Su Wanru, "Brother Qiao, Sister Su came to play with me today."

She said that the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was opened to traffic today, and you did not go to the opening ceremony.Sister Su doesn't have any relatives in Nanjing, why don't you go over to take care of her" "It turns out that you came to me to give your sister Su a grievance. ”Qiao Zhiqing suddenly knocked on Pan Qiaoyu's head, and explained with a smile, "Today's business is busy, and I happened to attend the memorial service for the martyrs at noon.The time on both sides is inseparable, so I asked Prime Minister Hong Renji to go on his behalf, which is enough to give you Sister Su's face. ”"Don't you have any opinion on her" Pan Qiaoyu's eyes rolled around, staring straight into Qiao Zhiqing's eyes."

No, how could it be.Your sister Su is so beautiful and lovely, how can I have an opinion on her. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled, he couldn't understand why women cared about these trivial matters, and he had to ask for an explanation to be satisfied."

Received it, I know who Brother Qiao can't get along with, and he won't be embarrassed by the big beauty."

Pan Qiaoyu jumped up happily, winked at Qiao Zhiqing behind her hands, shook her head very cutely and went out.Qiao Zhiqing shrugged his shoulders, smiled helplessly, and spent a night alone holding the pillow.Three days later, after Nanjing's military report reached Taiyuan, Wang Shijie quickly made corresponding arrangements.The Taiyuan Military Region left the Right Army to garrison Ningxia, and the New First Army and a brigade of Liu Heiwa moved south to meet the two armies of the Hexi Corridor and the Lanzhou Military Region.The Sichuan Military Region also dispatched the New 13 th Army to assist in the battle, which was personally commanded by Wu Xuming, deputy commander of the Military Region.The new 13 th Army had just been trained, and the Sichuan Military Region had just asked for a number from the Ministry of National Defense.There is a division of this road soldier Yong from the old department of Luo Bingzhang, who surrendered in Xi'an, and Cai Guangyuan is the division commander.Before leaving, Luo Bingzhang told Zuo Zongtang to take care of Cai Guangyuan and other old departments.It happened that the Sichuan Military Region was training troops, and Zuo Zongtang recommended them to Qiao Zhiqing.Luo Bingzhang was also miserable, because Cixi had always been haunted by the rebellion of his old ministry.The peace talks promised to Qi Junzao were successful, but the matter of posthumously sealing Luo Bingzhang was not fulfilled.Cai Guang gritted his teeth angrily, and also said that Luo Bingzhang's loyalty to the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not worth it.I can't wait to lead troops into Beijing immediately, stab Cixi's demon girl to death, and avenge my master Luo Bingzhang.Of course, angry is angry.After Cai Guangyuan joined the Huaxing Army, after several months of training, he quickly adapted to the military regulations and military discipline of the Huaxing Army.Moreover, most of the middle-level generals under him are the old departments of the New Ninth Army and the New Tenth Army.Now even if he wanted to mobilize the army, it would be impossible.Qiao Zhiqing wanted to temper the newly established New Thirteenth Army in the war.He deliberately asked them to cross the river from Chengdu to the north, out of Qishan and go straight to Lanzhou.The attack on Xinjiang was also coordinated by the three major military regions, with the Lanzhou Military Region dispatching the New 11th Army and the New 12th Army to take charge of the main attack.Together with the new 13th Army of the Sichuan Military Region and the new 1st Army of the Taiyuan Military Region, there are a total of four routes army and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.For the time being, these four armies were also under the unified command of Zhang Xian, commander of the Lanzhou Military Region.According to the specific situation, Wang Shijie drew up a battle plan for first taking northern Xinjiang, then moving south from northern Xinjiang, and then taking southern Xinjiang.Southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang are divided by the Tianshan Mountains, and southern Xinjiang includes Bazhou, Aksu, Kashgar, Hotan, Kezhou and other places.The climate is arid, and most of the towns are built around the Taklamakan Desert, and the land is very poor.Northern Xinjiang includes Urumqi, Changji, Yili, Bozhou, Altay and other places.The climate is relatively humid, with many oases, beautiful Kanas Lake and Nalati grassland, and the economy is much more developed than that of southern Xinjiang.A month later, the armies of the various military districts were assembled at Jiuquan, the gate of the Hexi Corridor.Along with the army, there was also a horse team several kilometers long, all loaded with the army's grain, grass and ammunition, which were transported in two batches in turn.Zhang Xian, commander-in-chief of the Lanzhou Military Region, personally led the team to direct the battle, and the first thing to be attacked when marching into Xinjiang was Hami City, the gate of Xinjiang.The city of Hami was garrisoned by the Shaanxi Hui army of Bai Yanhu, the old opponent of the Huaxing army, after Bai Yanhu's defeat in Shaanxi.fled all the way to the northwest, and finally arrived in Xinjiang to join Agubai.He fought bravely in the campaign to pacify northern Xinjiang, and was entrusted with the important task of guarding the city of Hami, the gateway to Xinjiang.At this time, Bai Yanhu was no longer the poor boy with a bamboo knife at the beginning, because of the support of the Russians and the British, Agubo not only built his own military factory, but also obtained a large number of guns and ammunition from the two countries.Bai Yanhu followed Aguba to become rich overnight, and the whole army has now expanded to more than 200,000 people, half of whom are armed with the British breech Enfield foreign guns.This time the Huaxing army attacked, Bai Yanhu was also quite confident and wanted to wash away the hatred of Shaanxi that day.Because at that time, Huaxingjun still used old-fashioned foreign guns.Bai Yanhu didn't know about the innovation of Huaxing Army's equipment, and thought that they were using the same weapons as himself, so he was very confident in the guy in his hand.When the Huaxing army was less than five miles away from Hami City, Bai Yanhu's altar quickly spread the news."

Brothers, we were driven here all the way from Shaanxi by the Huaxing Army.This is the time for revenge, raise the foreign guns in your hands, and drive the Huaxing army out of Xinjiang" Bai Yanhu raised his gun and raised his arms and shouted, as if he was about to face a tempting prey, his face was full of excitement.More than 200,000 people roared with Bai Yanhu at the same time, and after more than two years of training, the military appearance was already very neat."

Okay, then Ben Shuai will take you to tear off this piece of fat and ask for a reward from Agu Boke."

Departure" Bai Yanhu roared, turned over on the war horse, took the initiative to take his subordinates, and went out of the city to find the Huaxing army to attack.The two armies encountered on the prairie two miles outside the city, and after Bai Yanhu saw the soldiers and horses of the Huaxing army, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.His army had far outnumbered the Huaxing army, not to mention that everyone was holding the same weapon.Wait for their foreign spearmen and Huaxing army to fight for a while, and then let the other soldiers take advantage of the chaos from the two wings."

Ready, impact" Bai Yanhu roared, and with a "bang", he pulled the trigger of the foreign gun in his hand.His troops were all trained by British instructors themselves, so when they charged, they also stepped on the snare drums and trumpets of foreigners.More than 100,000 foreign spearmen advanced in a three-section phalanx, stretching for several kilometers after unfolding.It is like a city wall that is constantly moving forward, wanting to crush the Huaxing army ruthlessly.The four-way army of the "array" Huaxing Army also launched a gun array at this time, and compared with the three-stage shooting formation of the Hui Army, the Huaxing Army adopted a two-stage shooting.Although it only takes ten seconds for the expeditionary rifle to change ammunition, the Huaxing army does not even want to give ten seconds to return to the army.A two-stage shot was used, with two columns arranged in a cross row.One column to shoot, one to prepare.Five rounds at a time, after the first column has finished firing, the second column starts firing, and the first column changes ammunition and prepares.The artillery battalions and machine-gun companies of the regiments were not involved in the battle this time, and in such a dispersed battlefield the effect was not as effective as the cluster fire of rifles.When the two sides were 500 meters apart, the gun array of the Huaxing army lay down on the ground, hiding behind the bunker that had been dug with an ordnance shovel.Posed for shooting, the perspective is focused on the body of the Hui through the rifle's sights.The bunker is not high, only 20 centimeters, but it can completely withstand the bullets of the foreign guns of the Hui army."

Brothers, the Han people knelt on the ground for us to beg for mercy, and everyone said that they would not let them go" Bai Yanhu did not know the shooting posture of Huaxingjun, thinking that Huaxingjun was cowardly and did not dare to go forward and fight hard, so he laughed arrogantly."

Kill, kill, kill" all the Hui people roared madly, as if they were already the victors of the battlefield.The wind and sand swept across the grassland, and the air could smell a smell of slaughter.Vultures and goshawks hovered overhead, waiting to pounce at any moment and enjoy a delicious cripple."

This Bai Yanhu has really grown, and all the original bamboo-breaking knives have been replaced with foreign guns."

Zhang Xian held the binoculars and calmly looked at the military situation in front of him on the high ground behind him, and a sneer couldn't help but rise at the corner of his mouth."

The commander still remembers that we chased Bai Yanhu from northern Shaanxi all the way to Xinjiang.If this kid hadn't run fast, he would have gone to see their Allah a long time ago" Chief of Staff Li Qingshan smiled, and remembered what happened to Bai Yanhu in the first place."

Their formation also looks quite professional, and it seems that they learned it from the British devils," Wu Xuming, deputy commander of the Sichuan Military Region, also analyzed professionally."

Brother Wu is right, they are indeed a three-stage shooting gun formation that they learned from foreign devils.I don't know if they can hold on to a round of shooting" Zhang Xian nodded, chuckling and frowning."

Then wait and see, I'll pay a hundred taels, and bet that they will break up after rushing to a hundred meters," Luo Sanyuan, the deputy commander of the Taiyuan Military Region in charge of this command, smiled and offered a price."

Then I'll pay two hundred taels, bet that they will collapse when they rush into one hundred and fifty meters" Zhang Xian also made do with annoyance, and opened two hundred taels of silver.The expeditionary rifle ruler has a range of 1000 meters and an effective range of 500 meters, but it has a powerful lethality only after entering a distance of 200 meters.Because at 200 meters away, the human perspective is only the size of a fingernail.In the era when guns were not equipped with telescopes, it was difficult to hit the target with the naked eye."

Me and Commander Zhang Xian" and "Me and Deputy Commander Luo Sanyuan" The generals of the command headquarters all joined in the excitement and bet one after another.If Ma Yanhu knew what they were doing, he would definitely be depressed and half dead, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.Because the Huaxing army was lying on the ground, Bai Yanhu's foreign spearmen had problems with accurate perspectives and cover.At a distance of less than fifty meters, it is simply impossible to hit them with a bullet.Bai Yanhu pinched a cold sweat in his palms, not knowing what idea Hua Xingjun was doing.Don't they need to change the bullets, aren't they afraid of hurting their eyes when shooting, one by one questions surfaced in Bai Yanhu's mind, in order to avoid accidents, he decided to start first, shouted Allah forbid, and when the two sides were still three hundred meters apart, he waved the order flag in his hand to shoot
