On October 31, 1890, snow began to fall on the plateau. It accumulated overnight, and the snow outside the Gasanka Military Station was already covered with snow. Although the snow was not heavy, it did not have much impact on walking or even riding horses.
If the snow continues and gets heavier, it will definitely have a serious impact on operations.
Wang Yuze stood on the tower next to the gate of the military station, looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky, feeling a little nervous. So far, there is no news about the horse bandits, but this cannot be ignored. It has started to snow now. If within the next two days,
If there are no horse bandits to attack, the risk can be reduced a lot. After all, heavy snow is not conducive to cavalry attacks. In this environment, attacking a military station is different from seeking death. However, now that the snow has just begun to fall, it seems that this is also the case for horse bandits.
This is our last chance.
"Awei, is there any news about the horse bandits?" Wang Yuze asked. This is his defense battle after taking over the army, so he can't make any mistakes! If the horse bandits attack, he must fight this battle well.
Just fight.
"No!" Wang Wei shook his head. "It has started to snow now, and all the scouts who were photographed have returned. However, the snowy weather is not conducive to cavalry attacks. The horse bandits will not come, right?" Wang Wei said.
"It's hard to say. The snow is not deep yet, so it won't have much impact on the cavalry. This is also the last chance for the horse bandits. If the horse bandits attack us, they should give the order within one or two days.
Everyone cheer up!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, company commander!" Wang Wei accepted the order.
After Wang Wei left, Wang Yuze stayed on the tower, staring at the north, where the horse bandits would attack. There were horse guards around the military station, enough to withstand the charge of the cavalry. In addition, five men from the third company
The Maxim heavy machine guns were also in position. There was one on each tower around the military station. The remaining one was used as a backup. In addition, five mortars were also prepared, and the position was
The playground located in the middle of the military station can effectively support the battles of all parties. The fence of the military station is not high, only three meters. There are shooting holes on the fence, and soldiers can shoot outward from here. At the same time, the fence
It can also provide good protection for soldiers and help reduce casualties.
"Horse bandits, will you come?" Wang Yuze thought secretly. After all, attacking a well-defended military station is simply asking for death for ordinary horse bandits. A ragtag group of horse bandits can't deal with ordinary herdsmen on the grassland.
It's okay. If you face the regular army, you will only end up being slaughtered. The combat power of the regular army and the horse bandits is very different.
"Why did the horse bandits appear in the north of the military station and want to attack the military station? Will there be other forces participating behind this? For example, the Green Horse Army in the north?" Wang Yuze thought secretly. He was almost sure that there must be some involvement in this.
It was instigated by the Green Horse Army, or even directly involved. Otherwise, how could the horse bandits have such courage. However, if the Green Horse Army was really involved, the danger would be much greater. After all,
, even if the Qingma Army cannot keep up with the Western Sichuan Army, it can still be regarded as a well-trained regular army.
Wang Yuze had a vague hunch that the attack of the horse bandits might be today.
"Come on, this solid military station will definitely give you a bloody blow!" Wang Yuze thought secretly. None of the horse bandits had their hands stained with blood. They came to attack the military station and gave the Western Sichuan Army a chance.
An opportunity to eliminate harm for the people.
Soon, a few hours passed, and it was already noon. The sky was still gray. Pieces of snowflakes were falling from the sky. Although there was no trend of getting bigger and bigger, there seemed to be no sign of weakening.
The soldiers in the cooking class had prepared lunch, which consisted of white-flour steamed buns and soy sauce meat, but no vegetables. In military stations on the plateau, when winter comes, the supply of vegetables is more difficult. The herdsmen who were taken to the military station also
It was time to eat. They all consciously stayed in their tents and did not cause trouble to the Western Sichuan Army. After all, the Western Sichuan Army was willing to let them enter the military station to avoid the robbery of the horse bandits, which had already saved their lives.
If you are so dissatisfied, you would be so ignorant!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, a burst of gunfire came from the north. The soldiers of the third company who were eating immediately realized that the horse bandits were coming. They quickly put down their lunch and took two steamed buns.
The bag rushed out.
"The horse bandits are attacking, all the troops should get to their posts!" Wang Yuze's order came from the tower. He stayed on the tower and happened to see the horse bandits attacking in large numbers. On the grassland to the north, a large black wave of people was standing there.
Sweeping towards the south. In front of them, there were twelve figures, running towards the military station while firing back. They were the twelve officers and soldiers of the seventh squad who were stationed at the post north of the military station.
After discovering that the horse bandits were attacking, they, led by squad leader Dai Yulong, abandoned the post and returned directly to the military station. After all, it was simply impossible to withstand the attack of thousands of horse bandits with a simple outpost.
Only by withdrawing to the military base can we preserve our strength.
In less than two minutes, all the units of the third company were already in their positions. Among the three platoons of the third company, the first platoon defended the main entrance of the north military station, and the other three sides only guarded one squad each. After all, the north side
This is the focus of the horse bandit's attack. The third row is used as a reserve team.
"Company Commander, are there so many horse bandits?" Wang Wei couldn't help but change his face when he saw that large area of darkness, probably more than a thousand people.
"Hmph! What's the use of coming more? If they can't attack the military station, they will only die!" Wang Yuze is very confident about the defense of the military station. Obviously, the horse bandits don't have artillery, and even the Green Horse Army doesn't have much.
Artillery. Relying on human lives alone, it is impossible to break through a well-defended military station.
"Company Commander, should we ask for help from the battalion headquarters? After all, we only have two hundred people!" Wang Wei suggested.
"Okay, send someone to notify the battalion headquarters!" Wang Yuze nodded and accepted the proposal. It would take several hours to ride a horse from Gasanka to Lelewuqi, and it was snowing now, so it would take even longer.
The reinforcements will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. The main reason is poor communication! Although telegraph lines have been set up in the major cities in the three provinces of western Sichuan and every county in Sichuan Province, which can achieve fast communication. But like
The military stations on the plateau still relied on horseback to convey messages.
"It would be great if radio communication could be realized as soon as possible!" Wang Yuze said secretly. It is said that Western Sichuan is already studying this. Marconi, who invented radio communication, is only sixteen years old now. However, another person, a Russian
The husband is thirty-one years old. This person is currently conducting research in this area at the Academy of Sciences in Chengdu. It is said that he has found a clue and should be able to successfully invent it soon. As for scientific research, Wang Xiao
It also spares no effort to support. Whether it is Chinese scientists or foreign scientists, they are attracted to Western Sichuan. The Western Sichuan Academy of Sciences is just such an institution. The government allocates a large amount of special funds every year for scientific research. It covers a wide range of fields.
Not only in the military industry, but also in other natural sciences. Wang Yuze even knew that even the famous Frankenstein, Nikola Tesla, was fooled by Wang Xiao. Obviously, in order to improve the scientific and technological innovation in Western Sichuan
Wang Xiao spent a lot of money on this energy.
The cavalry charge was very fast. When the soldiers of the seventh squad had just arrived at the gate of the military station, the horse bandits were already approaching. The horse bandits raised their sabers, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the military station quickly.
.Obviously they planned to take advantage of the situation when the soldiers of the seventh squadron entered the military station. Unfortunately, they did not have such an opportunity.
"Fire!" Wang Yuze ordered loudly.
"Ta-ta-ta!" The Maxim heavy machine gun installed on the tower immediately spit out fiery snakes. The long bullet belt made of canvas began to feed ammunition, and fired fiery warheads at the horse bandits.
Bring up the bloody flowers.
