The Xinwu Army marched towards Lincheng, Shandong, with five troops. They soon received the news that "Zhao Zilong" from the Qing Dynasty was coming. He was a master who dared to fight and kill. He dared to deal heavy blows to Jianghu gangs. Some people's minds immediately became active in Boxer Boxing. Miao Fanlu was the first to take action. He colluded with Fei Lingxue, the leader of the horse thieves. The two discussed a strategy and sent people to express their position to Li Guolou. He dispatched his trusted generals to be the guides of the new armed forces.
This time Miao Fanlu advised Zhu Hongdeng to think about the society and there was no need to let the society suffer the emotional blow of the state power for the sake of Brother Sun's kindness.
Zhu Hongdeng weighed and thought again and again and felt that Boxer Boxing should serve the imperial court and should be independent of the national society. This is the foundation of Boxer Boxing. You cannot change the gang rules of Boxer Boxing for your own selfishness. Therefore, cutting off the chicken head and drinking blood wine is a waste of time. Zhu Hongdeng released Jianghu Ling made several militia groups composed of Boxer miners switch to the New Armed Forces when they saw the arrival of the New Armed Forces. This shows that the red heart of the Boxer Boxers will always be towards the Qing Dynasty.
Wangzhuang Township, controlled by the Boxer troops, provided convenience to the Xinwu Army, leaving the Changqiang Society troops who stayed in Yong'an Township without any way out.
Zhu Hongdeng's decision made the Changqiang Society unlucky. More than 200 people were killed in the battle. Du Sheng, the "Ma Gan'er" who surrendered to the New Armed Forces, could only imagine himself as Guan Yunchang, who was in Cao's camp and his heart was in the Han Dynasty. He had to compromise and flatter Browning. The people of the commune became pioneers in building roads and bridges across mountains and rivers, allowing the villages along the way to support the New Armed Forces. Du Sheng was a good hand in ideological work and made achievements in the afternoon. The third brother "Iron Stone" Liu Tanggu who was guarding Zoewu Town He took eight hundred warriors to join Browning [
The betrayal of the Long Spear Society and the Boxer Boxer was a fatal blow to the Lincheng garrison. It severely damaged the Sun brothers' confidence in expanding their territory. Even their own brothers betrayed them. The danger of being embattled on all sides made the Sun brothers lament that the people's hearts are not ancient.
With the help of the Boxer of Boxing, Li Guolou was like a psychic wizard who could do anything easily in Lincheng. Originally, he knew very little about the Lincheng garrison. Now, even the fifty-five hostages hidden in the bandit's lair in Baodugu can't do anything. Already known
Baodugu is the home of the Sun brothers. The mountain is dangerous and Li Guolou is not confident in capturing such a dangerous peak. However, he is no longer content with capturing Lincheng. Li Guolou is preparing to cut off the retreat of the Lincheng garrison. The Sun family's armed forces were wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving no opportunity for the Sun family's armed forces to escape and take refuge in Baodugu.
The Xinwu Army suddenly attacked and captured Yong'an Township. Wangzhuang Township had broken the Shandong warlords' guarantee that they would not take the initiative to attack each other. They did not take the Shandong Governor Zhang Renjun seriously. Zhang Renjun's handwritten edict had long been taken by Li The national building was burned down, and the Xinwu Army ignored the friendship between the warlords and attacked the Sun brothers' territory, disrupting the Sun brothers' dream of being promoted several levels. The Lincheng garrison would definitely not dare to hold on to the city and would flee towards Baodugu.
Li Guolou's troops were divided into two groups. One group of troops led a frontal attack on Lincheng, with Browning's 2,000 Victory Division as the main force. They had already broken through the enemy's first line of defense. Li Guolou personally led another group of troops to turn to Shenfengling, hoping to fight there. The blocking battle completely defeated the main force of the Sun brothers.
The people who led the way for the New Armed Forces were Miao Fanlu, He Xiangu, and a local, Meng Qing, a middle-aged man in his forties who looked honest and honest, and was a believer in Boxing.
In the military meeting, everyone discussed for a while and finally looked at Li Guolou, waiting for him to give the military order. But Li Guolou raised his head and asked: "Miao Fanlu, are you familiar with the terrain of Mengqing Shenfengling?"
Miao Fanlu looked at Meng Qing awkwardly. No need to ask anymore, the expression on his face showed everything. Meng Qing, who was speechless for a moment, said dryly: "I am familiar with the terrain of Shenfengling and have driven through it several times."
Li Guolou smiled kindly and said: "Meng Qing, don't be afraid of me. Just tell me if you can set up an ambush in Shenfengling." Meng Qing didn't know tactics but didn't dare to speak. He finally said, "Sir, the terrain is dangerous and we can set up an ambush."
Li Guolou said with a forced smile: "Isn't this just talk on paper? Master Fan used to say, 'Five Elements may lose everything.' Relying on the map drawn during the Kangxi period will make you hungry. I think after the meeting, how about occupying Shenfengling first?"
The proud soldiers laughed wildly together, and the pioneer officer Li Yunkai put his hands on his hips as if he had won a great victory.
Along the way, Li Guolou looked jealously at the chief men at Dagukou. They were big men from Shandong. They were all strong men with broad arms and round waists, and they were used to carry cannons. The outcome of the war largely depends on these chief men. Supplies depend on these illiterate elders carrying them to the front line. Unfortunately, these elders are from Dakukou. He can only be jealous of Yu Lu. The good army has local limitations. The New Armed Forces is the world of Anhui people. Although Anhui people are willing to endure hardships, There is still a big gap between them and Shandong people in terms of race.
When will these second-class products under his command be replaced by high-quality products with broad shoulders and waist? Li Guolou was thinking about where the new armed forces would go to recruit troops. He was the only one who could control the unruly people in Anhui. What would he do in the future?
He Xiangu walked up to Li Guolou and chatted with Li Guolou about the past. It was obvious that he relied on Li Guolou's reputation to get the job. Li Guolou didn't drive He Xiangu away because Zhu Hongdeng was grateful for his kindness. Riding side by side adds some color to the march
Shenfengling is located on the west side of Yixian County, Shandong Province. It is an inaccessible shortcut from Lincheng to Baodugu. Several other roads pass through the town and have been controlled by other warlords in Shandong Province. The governor of Yanzhou, He Fengyu, was originally the immediate superior of the Sun brothers. He would never do it. The local warlords who made way for the Sun brothers would be emotionally shocked if they made way for the Sun brothers' Lincheng garrison at this time. As for the other two main roads leading to Baodugu, they need to go around the Li Guo Tower in a large circle. It is expected that the Sun brothers will only take shortcuts and will not cause "rebellion" in Shandong like rogue bandits.
After Li Guolou sent out more than 200 rangers, Li Yunkai and more than ten people immediately rode on horseback and followed Li Guolou to leave the station and gallop westward, climbing over the two mountain peaks. The terrain was right in front of them, but it was displayed in front of everyone. To everyone's surprise, the actual terrain and what is marked on the map are completely different.
The guide Meng Qing's speech was unclear and he failed to explain clearly the landforms of Shenfengling and missed the most important road conditions.
A winding road is not in a ravine, but is paved on a bare mountain ridge several miles long. The width of the ridge is only one or two hundred meters. The terrain on both sides of the road is slightly higher than the road, but there is no concealment. Only close to the roadside can there be past. Some of the fortifications built by the Qing army were used by the Qing army to deal with the Nian army. They have been in dilapidated condition for a long time.
On the south side of the ridge is a large ravine. Opposite the ravine is Ma Mian Mountain. On the east side of the ridge is a small mountain village with more than a dozen households of mountain residents. Further east is Weishan Lake [
Obviously, this kind of terrain is not suitable for an ambush, because it is difficult for large forces to hide and cannot move to the south. There is a deep trench, which makes it difficult for the reserve team to move. If not, it may not be able to take care of both the head and tail, and it will be in trouble. Instead, it will be divided and surrounded by the enemy and eliminated one by one.
The dozen or so officers who were originally in high spirits couldn't raise their spirits. The New Armed Forces were not here to fight a war of attrition. They only had a thousand men and horses, plus the thousand men in Gukou. The combined combat strength was at most 1,500 men and horses. There are more than 3,000 Lincheng garrison, plus the miscellaneous army, let alone 5,000 troops, how can we fight this battle?
Li Guolou immediately led the horse and continued to walk back. After more than 40 miles, he also found an ideal ambush point. Then Li Guolou led a dozen riders back to Shenfengling and continued to observe the terrain, as if he wanted to scrap the route.
Several times of all the fortifications
No one dared to disturb Li Guolou, who was the God of War of the Xinwu Army and their backbone. As long as Li Guolou made up his mind, the Xinwu Army would not hesitate to fight to the death in a war of attrition.
Li Guolou pointed at the country with a horsewhip, Kong Ming, who was like a feather fan and silk scarf, came back and said: "If there is a butcher, will he eat a pig with wool? The terrain is dead and the people are alive. The gods of peace and security, Fengling, will bear witness to our new armed forces."
The miraculous Sun brothers are the bereaved dogs. Where are our heroes’ opponents from the New Armed Forces? Brothers, are you confident in winning this ambush?”
"Yes", "Absolutely yes", "Ten thousand yes", more than a dozen officers shouted loudly. Even if they were facing death, they dared to let out the last roar.
Li Guolou looked approvingly at the warriors fought by these beloved generals, all of whom were suicide squads. He waved his hands cheerfully and shouted: "When we go back to the meeting, we will set the battlefield at Shenfengling. I will make the Sun brothers become ungrateful bandits who cannot be beaten to death."
The Sun brothers will also cripple them."
What Li Guolou said was an imperial edict. A dozen officers on horseback were all thinking about how to deploy defenses in Shenfengling. The tactical layout relied on the collective efforts rather than just relying on Li Guolou to use his brain.
More than a dozen families of mountain residents at the foot of the mountain have been captured by the Xinwu Army. Supervisor Zhang Haojie couldn't tell who the spies were from Sun's armed forces. Before the fight, he could only lock these mountain residents in newly dug holes and eat them in a radish pit.
Sleeping all in it means that you will do it in the future
Compensating the losses of these mountain people was not something Zhang Haojie considered as the mountain people thought they would be buried alive by the Qing army. During the war, in order to conceal the battlefield, the army would conduct brutal raids near the battlefield. This approach of the New Armed Forces was considered moderate.
of
When Li Guolou saw Zhang Junjie, he just asked, "Is Inspector Zhang dead?"
"There's a guy who's jumping around and eating dog meat at night, hey hey hey," Zhang Haojie said with a wicked smile. The Xinwu Army shot all the hunting dogs of the mountain people to do covert work. Not even a single dog could survive near Shenfengling.
Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said: "I don't eat dog meat." After saying this, Li Guolou stopped talking to Zhang Junjie and even forgot that he was a Manchu. This was really betraying his ancestors and forgetting his ancestors.
After Li Guolou finished eating alone, he went to the living room of the farmhouse. The air was filled with the smell of dog meat. Li Guolou touched his nose and said, "Are you full? What you ate today is the hunting dogs of the mountain people. I will accompany the silver coins to the mountain tomorrow."
The deduction of two yuan per person is considered as compensation to the mountain people."
"Ah, it's so expensive. It only costs two yuan. Oh God!" Jin Yin yelled. Li Guolou was really evil and dared to deduct their salary.
Li Guolou said very seriously: "I'm not joking with you. You all know that water can carry a boat and capsize it. A country will be doomed if the people support the regime. The same is true for the army. The Sun brothers will also buy people's hearts and let them go if they are arrested.
The women and children described the kidnapping of foreigners as a just act of anti-imperialism. The bandits in Baodugu never kidnapped women and allowed the villagers near Baodugu to live a good life. We are the country’s army. Do we even have bandits?
Isn’t it worse?”
"It's us who pledged two yuan." More than a dozen officers couldn't sit still and quickly stood up to express their stance. Li Guolou was eloquent and stood at the height of truth. It was awe-inspiring.
After Li Guolou lectured, Ma Dequan poured tea to the officers and the military meeting officially began.
Li Guolou took a sip of tea and frowned slightly. Ma Dequan, that bastard, actually took out his treasured Dahongpao and gave it to everyone as tea to rinse their mouths. Just now he said, "I'll settle for it now." He could only pretend to be generous and said: "Best, brothers."
Take a few sips of Dahongpao to cheer you up hahahaha.”
Ma Dequan winked at the gold and silver in an eccentric way, showing that he is smart and good for not forgetting his old brother.
Li Guolou walked to the map and pointed to the terrain of Shenfengling and said: "I still say that the terrain is dead and people are alive. Don't think of ambush battles and think of deep ravines and steep cliffs. We have already carved out paths for them in ancient times.
There are already so many tactically dead places in the world that Shenfengling can be used as an ambush for new tactics, and it can also kill the enemy. Our army does not need to be in a dangerous situation of exhaustion, and we can also use the limited terrain advantages to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation."
The officers of the New Armed Forces Army have long worshiped Li Guolou as the God of War. This is the value of the existence of this army. With the leadership of Li Guolou, the reason for the existence of the New Armed Forces Army, and these officers have also lost the value of existence. More than a dozen officers gathered around Li.
They unite around Guolou and emit sparks of life. Their eyes are so hot. They believe that Li Guolou can lead the new military army to face the test of blood and fire.
Li Guolou analyzed: "Normally speaking, it is not easy to conduct an ambush in Shenfengling, but it is an excellent terrain where you can attack more with less. Because the terrain is not dangerous enough, the enemy will be paralyzed and careless. The dilapidated fortifications are only a hundred meters away from the road. The closest ones are only two or three."
Enemies ten meters away have become commonplace if we hide our troops
It is very difficult to detect the enemy by effectively disguising it under the enemy's nose. It will definitely have an unexpected effect and can destroy a large number of enemies in one go. Secondly, the mountain ridge is narrow and the troops cannot be deployed. Our army has arranged a formation and cannot disperse the enemy in a hurry.
It is even more difficult to expand the burden of being beaten passively."[
snap
Su Yuanchun respectfully saluted Li Guolou and said, "Master Xuezheng, you said so well. The students have learned a lesson."
Li Guolou looked at Su Yuanchun, who had long hair. He was his confidant and his favorite general. He was a key student in the new martial arts hall. He was on par with his fellow disciple Li Yunqi, who was known as "Zhao Zilong's right-hand man." It was his established decision to train these two beloved generals.
People are the new armed forces. Not everyone has the talent of a general.
"Calm down, Su Yuanchun, this is not a school. You don't need to stand at attention." Li Guolou's tone was calm, but all the officers present knew Li Guolou's preference for Su Yuanchun. The student's official rank is higher than that of the teacher, so isn't this student a military genius?
"Hey hey hey" Su Yuanchun scratched his head stupidly. It was this foolish energy that made him stand out among thousands of students.
