?After shooting for more than ten minutes, the Qing army on the official road had been injured and killed. Many Qing soldiers jumped off the official road and hid in the woods on both sides of the official road. Some died on the official road.
The body of his companion was used as a cover, and even Chen Tai leaned over and hid behind his dead war horse. "" Finally, Wu Qiang got temporary safety.
But at this moment, the Chinese army launched a full-scale attack on the Qing army. The soldiers jumped out from behind the hidden bunker, holding muskets with bayonets, shouting loudly, "Run! Kill!"
He rushed towards the Qing army.
Some Qing soldiers hurriedly stood up and prepared to fight, but as soon as they penetrated their heads, they would be shot by a random gun or a grenade thrown over, and then a "boom" sounded and killed.
It is said that muskets of this era have limited role in offense, but compared with the new army of the Qing army, the Chinese army has much richer experience in using muskets in offense. In addition, there are grenades to use together, as long as it is not a tough battle,
It can still maximize the power of various firearms.
After the Qing army suffered another round of attacks, the Chinese army soldiers rushed to the front of the Qing army and launched hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army. The Chinese army ambushing the Qing army here was the 14th Division of the Ninth Army, and in terms of military strength.
It was already above the Qing army, and the Qing army came from a long way. Not only had it been exhausted, but its formation was also drawn into a long line. It was hit by the Chinese army just now, and it was attacked by these levels.
Under the factors, when fighting hand-to-hand combat, the Qing army was not the opponent of the Chinese army. When the Chinese army charged, the Qing army was divided into pieces. Then, whether it was single-player combat or group-cooperating combat, the Qing army was beaten.
A complete defeat.
The battle ended after only more than an hour. More than 3,000 Qing troops who came to rescue Jining Prefecture died on the spot, and more than 4,000 were captured or surrendered. There were less than 1,000 Qing troops who fled, and the Qing troops
The chief general Chen Tai also became a prisoner of the Chinese army. The Chinese army only killed 168 soldiers, and more than 200 soldiers were injured.
After defeating the reinforcements of the Qing army, the Ninth Army immediately launched an attack on Jining Prefecture. In fact, the Qing army did not have much force to garrison in Jining Prefecture, and the Chinese army kept Jining Prefecture and did not capture it, but to attract the Qing army.
Reinforcements. Now that the reinforcements of the Qing army have been eliminated, they naturally don’t have to keep them in Jiningzhou anymore.
The battle to attack Jiningzhou went very smoothly, because there was no resistance in the city. The Chinese army climbed the city of Jiningzhou effortlessly, dispersed a small number of defenders, opened the city gate, and allowed a large group of troops to enter.
On the same day, the Ninth Army won two victories, defeated the Qing army's reinforcements, and occupied Jining Prefecture.
Then Feng Jin, the commander of the Ninth Army, ordered the Fourth Brigade to cross the canal, seize Jiaxiang and Juye counties, and merge with the rebel army. He ordered the 14th Division to immediately march northward to attack Wenshang and Ningyang.
The county is ready for the next step of conquering Yanzhou.
The loss of Jining and Juye also means that the gateways in the east and south areas of Shandong are opened. The Jinan-Yanzhou defense line carefully constructed by the Qing army is already in danger.
After joining the rebel army, Feng Jin also met with several leaders of the rebel army and gave high praise to their righteous behavior. He also gave all the Qing army weapons and armor seized in this battle to the rebel army.
, and left one regiment of the Fourth Brigade, stationed in Jining Prefecture, while the other regiment cooperated with the rebel army to collect all parts of Shandong and south. Then Feng Jin led the remaining special forces brigade of the Ninth Army to temporarily station in Jining Prefecture,
On standby.
The next day, the defeated army who rescued Jiningzhou fled back to Yanzhou and reported to Li Rutai that Jiningzhou had been lost and that the rescue personnel had suffered a crushing defeat.
Although he was mentally prepared for the loss of Jiningzhou, Li Lutai did not expect that even the rescuers were beaten to annihilation, so he was shocked. These were eight thousand soldiers, and less than a thousand people escaped back. This time, Gunzhou's troops were a little short of strength. Li Rutai was about to recruit all the generals to discuss the next response plan. At this moment, another spy came to report that Sishui County was lost.
It turned out that after Chen Jin led his army back to Gunzhou from Sishui County to garrison, Zhou Shaohuan immediately ordered Zhang Yiping, the commander of the 10th Army, to lead the 12th and 27th brigades of the 10th Army to attack Sishui County.
Although the positions outside the county of Sishui County were rebuilt at this time, there were only 5,000 guards left in the county, and the musketeers and archers were basically transferred back to guard Gunzhou, so they could not defend outside the county town at all. and the Chinese army's offensive was too sudden, so they had to retreat into the county to defend.
But at this time the pace of the battle returned to the mode that the Chinese army was best at, and immediately launched a strong attack on the county town. The blasting team was dispatched and used a blasting car to blow up the walls of Sishui County. Then the Chinese army entered Sishui County and passed by After a fierce battle, the Qing army finally couldn't resist and withdrew from Sishui County.
The loss of Sishui County was another heavy blow to Li Lutai. The left and right wings of Yanzhou were evenly lost. Only Zou County in the south remained in the outskirts of Yanzhou, and at this time, there were no reinforcements in Tai'anzhou. When he arrived, Li Shutai sent someone to urge Yue Le to come to rescue Yanzhou as soon as possible, and also considered whether there was any need to continue to guard Zou County.
Because the Chinese army could completely bypass Zou County and directly attack Yanzhou, and now there are only more than 10,000 defenders in Yanzhou City, which is not as powerful as Zou County. Moreover, the soldiers in Shenwei Camp have basically been completely lost, so rely on It is difficult to defend Gunzhou at this level. It is better to withdraw all the troops from Zou County to Yanzhou to guard it. In this way, the troops in Gunzhou can reach about 26,700, and even if the Chinese army attacks, they can withstand it for a while. .
Just when Li Lutai was still thinking about whether to give up Zou County, someone came to report that the two counties of Ningyang were lost.
After hearing this, Li Lutai couldn't help but feel ashamed, because Ningyang County was just north of Yanzhou Prefecture, and it can be said that the road from Yanzhou to Tai'an and Jinan was cut off. In other words, Yanzhou at this time, It is an isolated city.
At this time, Li Lutai realized that this time the Chinese army's attack was completely different from the last time. It was not just a forceful attack on the city or a hard fight, but a flexible and changeable tactics, such as besieging the city to attack the support, and fighting the east and the west, and wanting to Capturing Gu Zong, surprisingly unexpectedly, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, etc., is completely full of tricks, which makes people unable to understand and cannot be defended. It seems that there is a bit of the charm of the past. Although Yanzhou is still under the control of the Qing army, But Li Lutai had a bad premonition that Yanzhou could no longer be defended.
But now is not the time to be discouraged. Once Yanzhou is lost, even Li Lutai himself is in danger. Now Yanzhou's only hope is to stick to the city and wait for Abatai in Jinan to send a large army to rescue, so Li Lutai once again goes to Yue Le and Abatai sent an emergency letter, asking them to rescue them and send reinforcements to rescue Yanzhou. At the same time, they also ordered Zou County to order the guards Xia Chengde and Xia Jinghai brothers to immediately give up Zou County and withdraw all their troops back to Yanzhou. Come and stay.
After Xia Chengde and Xia Jinghai received Li Lutai's generals, they did not dare to neglect them. The other two knew that the current situation should indeed defend Yanzhou with all their might, so they immediately organized their troops to withdraw back to Yanzhou.
But withdrawing troops is not that easy. Because the Qing army now has equipped a certain number of firearms. Although the Qing army stationed in Zou County does not belong to the new army, there are more than 700 muskets and more than 20 various artillery pieces.
, including two red cannons with 2,400 kilograms, so they also carried a large amount of ammunition with the army, as well as arrows, food and grass, and other various military supplies. Although a lot of them were still lost, they could not be thrown away.
We loaded more than 300 vehicles together. It took two days to clean up these supplies and load them. It was not until the third day that we began to evacuate Zou County.
Fortunately, Zou County is not far from Yanzhou, only more than 40 miles away, and it is both official roads, so vehicles can walk very conveniently. Under normal circumstances, it can be reached in about five hours.
But the team was chased by the Chinese army less than two hours after they walked out. Xia Chengde and Xia Jinghai were both Liaodong Han people from the Red Banner of the Han army. They fought many wars with the Qing court and were very rich.
After retreating, some of the troops left behind were left. After the brigade left for an hour, they would evacuate from Zou County, so that the Qing army could first get an hour away, and the Chinese army would chase after it.
Can't catch up.
However, what the Xia brothers did not expect was that the one who was responsible for chasing the Qing army was the Cavalry Division of the 10th Army of the Shandong Military Region.
Moreover, in previous battles, the cavalry of the Chinese army also fought some cavalry battles with the Qing army. However, the Chinese army was not an army dominated by cavalry warfare after all. In addition, the main battlefields in the past were in the Jianghuai area.
The dense river net is not an ideal battlefield for the cavalry, so the cavalry does not perform much, and in some battles of Guanjian, there is basically no cavalry involved.
But this does not mean that Shang Yi does not attach importance to the cavalry, because Shang Yi is very clear that although he has entered the age of firearms and the role of the cavalry is constantly declining, the cavalry is still an important force on the battlefield.
A complete army must never be missing cavalry. In addition, the terrain of the north is flat, and the cavalry will still be of great use in the future for the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the Chinese Army formed its own cavalry troops very early and established major military regions.
At that time, each military region formed a cavalry division and carried out strict training. At the same time, a large number of short guns and rear-loading rifles suitable for cavalry use were also manufactured.
However, in the concept of the Qing army, although we know that the Chinese army also has cavalry, we have no deep impression of the Chinese army's cavalry. Therefore, when formulating plans to fight against the Chinese army, we often unconsciously give the cavalry to the
Ignore it. This is the plan to withdraw troops this time.
