Duan Haixiang was a little frustrated.
He refused to accept the opponent's softness and hardness, and used softness to overcome toughness.
This kind of calmness and calmness was not what a young man in his twenties should have.
This boy would definitely be a serious problem in the future and he would not be able to keep him.
But it was unrealistic to kill him on the spot.
These bandits were very cruel and it would be bad if they hurt themselves during the fight.
Duan Haixiang snorted coldly and walked away.
Chen Zikun also stood up: "Let's go."
The so-called military meeting broke up unhappily.
Chen Zikun and others walked out of the tent and found that the situation was tense outside.
The brothers of the pistol battalion and the provincial army were muzzle-to-muzzle, and the fire was about to break out.
Xia Jingqi brought five hundred brothers and wanted to surrender the weapons of the pistol battalion, but he was unable to restrain them.
The pistol battalion was Chen Zikun's guard.
From the quality of the soldiers to the equipment, they were top-notch.
Everyone had both long and short guns, and box cannons were equipped with Burkes.
A Mann portable machine gun or a Browning automatic rifle, a fully automatic firearm with water, can mow down a large area with a single burst of fire.
If a real fight breaks out, let alone a guard battalion, even a regiment will not get any advantage.
Facing the dense gunfire of the provincial army, Chen Zikun was not afraid and took the lead to walk out.
His golden collar badge and major general star emblem intimidated the soldiers on the opposite side, and they even subconsciously gave way to a path.
Xia Jingqi was so anxious that he asked Duan Haixiang: "Sir, you must not let the tiger go back to the mountain.
Let's fight."
Duan Haixiang said: "It's a cooked duck.
What's the rush?
Let it go."
The provincial army withdrew from the encirclement.
Brother No. 300 of the Pistol Battalion loaded his bullets and withdrew from the camp with his head high and his chest high.
After many surprises along the way, he finally returned to his home camp.
The camp of the 7th Mixed Brigade is divided into three places.
The Second Regiment and the Third Regiment are stationed on both sides.
The independent battalion and the brigade headquarters are stationed on the hill.
They are at the horns of each other.
During the wheat harvest season, the weather is fine and it will not rain.
The soldiers even They didn't even bother to put up a tent, so they just spread a raincloth on the ground and lay down on it, let alone digging drainage ditches and building fences.
However, there were soldiers busy all the time on the hill, sweating profusely as they dug trenches and built bunkers.
In the distance, Duan Haixiang observed the camp of the 7th Mixed Brigade with a telescope.
The camp was located on the open ground.
It was clear at a glance how many people and horses there were.
"A rabble is worth nothing."
Commander Duan put down his binoculars contemptuously and glanced at the Nie Jinku of the 11th Regiment beside him.
Commander Nie blushed and muttered: "It's not that they are incompetent, it's that the bandits are too cunning."
Duan Haixiang cursed him as a piece of trash and ignored him.
Xia Jingqi reported: "Commander, we have conducted an investigation and found out that the 7th Mixed Brigade sent out indeed the 2nd and 3rd regiments, with a total of 3,000 soldiers.
The big bearded man is the famous Pole Gai Longquan, and the gentle officer is Chen Zikun's staff officer.
Chief Yan Su, and that black iron tower-like man named Xue Bin, are Chen Zikun’s guard captains.”
Duan Haixiang said: "Very good, Chen Zikun has brought all his generals, so that none of them can escape this time.

Pass my order, the fourth and fifth brigades surround the enemy camp, and the fifth brigade is kept as a reserve.
The first mixed brigade went to take over Nantai County, and the second mixed brigade was responsible for dealing with the remaining troops of the Jiangbei Army outside the county. " As soon as the military order came out, all departments of the provincial army moved quickly.
Two brigades with a total of 5,000 troops sandwiched the 7th Mixed Brigade.
The other two elite mixed brigades rushed to Nantai County, forty miles away, at night.
The battle started in the early morning of the next day.
Duan Haixiang originally wanted to launch the attack at night, but the provincial army had poor food and many soldiers suffered from night blindness and could not fight at night, so they had to wait until daytime to start fighting.
The battle was unusually easy.
After a burst of firing, a white flag was raised over the camp of the 7th Mixed Brigade.
They surrendered without even firing a shot.
The provincial army commander marched in and captured more than 2,000 people.
Duan Haixiang was overjoyed and laughed loudly and said: "I thought Chen Zikun was so powerful.
It turns out that with this ability, I took him here for personal interrogation."
The subordinate said: "Report to the division commander, Chen Zikun has not been caught yet, and there is one camp left that has not been captured."
Duan Haixiang said: "Let the eleventh regiment go up, it's Nie Jinku's turn to take revenge."
With the support of his division commander, Nie Jinku became emboldened and personally led more than 500 men and horses of the 11th Regiment to charge toward the final position while screaming.
On the hill, the pistol battalion was ready.
They were not busy yesterday.
They dug extremely deep trenches and bunkers, and heavy machine guns were ready.
Chen Zikun personally stood in the trench with a big-eyed poker to direct the battle.
"Wait, wait, wait, get closer and then attack."
He looked through the binoculars at the provincial troops rushing towards him with murderous intent.
The more the provincial army moved forward, the more they felt something was wrong.
It was too quiet, so quiet that it made people feel frightened.
Suddenly, there was an angry shout: "Hit!"
A pouring rain of bullets hit everyone.
Three heavy machine guns, two hundred Berkmans, thirty Brownings, and seventy rifles formed an airtight fire net, like Death's sickle harvested life, and the brothers of the 11th regiment instantly turned into fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
The dozen or so people at the front were even beaten into sieves.
The attacking force was immediately crippled.
Nie Jinku and others were suppressed by the powerful firepower and lay on the ground unable to raise their heads.
Some young soldiers were so frightened that they even cried.
In fact, they could not be blamed.
Such powerful firepower was not to mention ordinary.
Even the division commander Duan Haixiang has never seen him.
Duan Haixiang, who was watching the battle from a distance, was so shocked that he almost dropped his telescope.
After so many years in the army, he has never encountered such a difficult position.
Bulls are free to buy, but if you work hard, this kind of fighting method can kill all the enemies.
Even if the division's men and horses fill it up, they can't attack it.
"Back off, back off for me."
Duan Haixiang said sadly.
The hillside was immediately covered with corpses and wounded.
The 11th Regiment was crippled in almost a minute.
This kind of casualties was something he couldn't bear.
Nie Jinku was so frightened that he peed.
He fled back with the remaining soldiers, lay down at Duan Haixiang's feet and cried loudly: "Sir, you want to avenge your brothers.
The man named Chen is too cruel.

He attacks people with machine guns."
Duan Haixiang gritted his teeth and said, "It's useless."
He kicked him away and asked, "Who's going up?"
The brigade commanders of the second division looked at each other, no one said anything, and no one was stupid.
With this density of firepower, even the iron-clad King Kong would die if he went up to it.
Xia Jingqi said: "Commander, we have artillery."
Duan Haixiang woke up from a dream and slapped his head: "Yes, use artillery to bombard them."
The Second Division has an artillery regiment equipped with twelve Grusen 57 rapid-fire cannons.
The firepower is absolutely unparalleled, but the problem comes again.
The artillerymen are of poor quality and can only shoot directly, leaving them at a distance.
If you fire cannons from the mountains, the shells will probably fly to Java.
We had no choice but to let the artillery regiment approach and fire.
The twelve artillery pieces were pulled by pack horses to a safe distance of one thousand meters away from the enemy's position.
The artillerymen aimed, loaded, and fired in a serious manner.
The artillery shells exploded in the distance of the hill.
Not a single hair was harmed.
Re-adjusted the muzzle and continued shooting.
This time, the shot was on point.
The shells landed at the front of the enemy's line, but the enemy was not idle either.
There was a loud noise from the mountain, and the same 57mm shells roared over, although they were not injured.
The men in the artillery regiment were so frightened.
The artillery is a technical branch, a heavy firepower unit, and Duan Haixiang's treasure.
One artillery shell forms five oceans.
It is reluctant to use it until the critical moment.
Duan Haixiang was afraid that the artillery would be damaged, so he urgently ordered the artillery regiment to retreat.
"Surround me, I don't believe I can't cure you."
Duan Haixiang is still full of confidence.
Although the opponent's firepower is strong, he is surrounded, and every shot will be missed.
He will be trapped for a day or two, and even drinking water will be a problem.
Let’s see what he does then.
At the same time, Nantai County welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
The law enforcement team of the Anti-Smoking Committee came from the provincial capital and made a special trip to ban the opium grown in Nantai County.
County Magistrate Liu Youjin received them and opened a shop in Zuixianju.
In the elegant room, they were served delicious food and drinks, and never mentioned anything about the poppy fields.
The leader of the law enforcement team was a sinister middle-aged man.
After he had had enough wine and food, he said to County Magistrate Liu: "Someone is cultivating opium privately in your county.
The evidence is conclusive.
Governor Sun ordered us to come and handle this matter strictly."
Get to the bottom of it and never tolerate it.”
Liu Youjin smiled broadly and said, "Sir, there are indeed no poppy fields in our county."
He offered an opium pipe.
The team leader took the pipe, took a puff and said, "County magistrate, please don't hide it.
I see that you know the truth, so I kindly advise you not to get involved in this matter.
You can't resist it."
Liu Youjin's face changed and he said: "A bold maniac, pretending to be a governor from the province, what crime should he be guilty of?

Come on, get it for me."
A group of gang members swarmed in and tied up all the members of the law enforcement team.
The team leader said angrily: "Liu Youjin, you are so brave.
You don't know that you are about to die."
Liu Youjin sneered and left.
At this time, the four gates of Nantai County were closed and heavily guarded.
After passing through the reinforced city wall, there was a soldier standing behind each crenel, with bullet boxes and grenade boxes next to it.
The American-made 1917 water-cooled heavy machine gun has been hung with ammunition belts, and the machine gunner has also entered the position.
Chief of Staff Yan Su, who was supposed to appear in the exercise area, was observing the distance with a telescope.
When he saw County Magistrate Liu coming up, he smiled and said, "The County Magistrate is here to supervise the battle."
Liu Youjin said: "I'm here to see if the brothers need anything.
Wheat porridge and egg buns are ready."
Yan Su said: "Thank you very much, county magistrate.
Please tell the villagers that the city is impregnable and everything will be fine."
Just as he was talking, smoke and dust were everywhere in the distance.
Yan Su picked up the telescope and looked at it for a while and said, "They are coming."
Two mixed brigades from the provincial army came.
When they arrived near the county town, the troops split into two groups.
The first mixed brigade went straight to the county town, while the second mixed brigade rushed towards the military camp outside the city.
The Second Mixed Brigade fired a burst of shots and rushed into the empty military camp.
The soldiers were dumbfounded and fell into the trap of an empty city.
The brigade commander was afraid of being deceived and shouted: "Retreat!"
The first mixed brigade rushed to the city and was attacked head-on.
The firepower on the city was astonishingly powerful.
The machine guns fired very methodically and the rifles fired unhurriedly.
It looked like elite troops were defending, which was definitely not what the intelligence said. security team.
The mixed brigade was not equipped with artillery, and was not even prepared with ladders.
It was impossible to attack the city with its flesh and blood alone.
Facing the strong firepower, they had to retreat and urgently reported to Commander Duan for orders.
Suddenly there was a sound of cannon, and a group of cavalry came out from the green gauze tent.
They were wearing big bamboo hats and wielding steel knives in their hands.
The blades were sharp and the red silk on the hilts was like balls of fire that were rapidly approaching.
The riders howled and screamed strangely.
Whistle blowing, he rushed over through the 18th road of smoke and dust.
The two mixed brigades of the provincial army were crowded in the open space outside the county town.
They didn't even raise the defense line.
How could they resist the cavalry troops attacking at high speed?
They suddenly collapsed and dispersed.
The cavalrymen waved their steel swords and charged left and right.
Beheading was like chopping vegetables, and a bearded man shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will avoid death."
The defeated soldiers who immediately knelt on the ground raised their rifles and declared their surrender.
Gai Longquan, who was supposed to participate in the exercise with Chen Zikun, reined in his horse and laughed: "Damn it, the provincial army is such a bunch of losers.
I can't help but surrender.
I surrendered before I could get enough of it
