Chapter 24 Worries after excitement

After reading the letter and the cannon a mile away, the two tubes also showed a heartfelt shock expression on their faces.

I don’t know how long it took, but the infantry battalion’s management first reacted from the shock. He asked Luo Wenshan with a guilty look: “Sir, the bandits have cannons and the Japanese support… What should we do next? Please ask the adults to come out immediately… Bandits, the bandits have not left us much time…”

To the disappointment of the two pipe belts, they did not see any hope or solution in Luo Wenshan's face.

Because, after knowing that Yangjiazhai was equipped with artillery and that there was news of the Japanese support behind it, Luo Wenshan was in a mess.

Therefore, he had no idea when facing the problem of the infantry battalion's management. In this case, he could only ask helplessly.

"Wang Guandai, you said, what should we do next... You are a veteran in the army, and there must be a way..."

Without letting Luo Wenshan wait too long, the infantry battalion manager replied with a solemn look on his face: "We can't stay in the military camp... Last night, we only had five shells, so we lost more than 100 soldiers. If the bandits gave us ten more shells tonight, then our patrol battalion will be finished..."

Luo Wenshan frowned and responded with a solemn look on his face: "What you mean is that if the remaining brothers in our patrol camp want to return to Anshan County alive, they can only do as the bandits say, give up all their food, supplies and equipment, and withdraw back to Anshan County under the surveillance of the bandits..."

What surprised Luo Wenshan was that as soon as he finished speaking, he was strongly opposed by the cavalry battalion manager.

"No... sir, we must not do this..."

"Not to mention whether the bandits will keep their promises. After we give up our war horses and equipment, we really don't attack us and let us return to Anshan County. Even if we successfully return to Anshan County, how can we explain to the court..."

"A bandit has not been eliminated and has suffered heavy losses. Even the war horses and weapons have been lost... At that time, let alone too much, a charge of funding bandits will be enough to send the three of us to the guillotine..."

"The remaining 200 brothers in the patrol battalion survived, but our lives are gone..."

Greedy for life and fear of death is the common feature of most civil and military officials in this era. There is no exception to this commander and two supervisors in front of you.

Therefore, when Luo Wenshan heard that he would be sent to the guillotine even if he went back, he decisively rejected the idea of ​​talking to the bandits and retreating.

The infantry battalion manager seemed to realize that this method was not good for him, and he followed him and spoke...

"Sir, if you don't do as the bandits said in the letter, there is another way here, which may help us recover the current defeat of our patrol battalion..."

"The last general just looked at it. There were not many bandits protecting cannons one mile away, only less than a hundred. The intelligence also said that the bandits in Yangjiazhai only had people next time... And we still had more than 230 people, fifty quick guns, hundreds of singles and muskets. If the adults were determined to leave the barracks, launch an attack on the bandit artillery positions one mile away, and fight the bandits to the death..."

"With the current strength of our patrol battalion, we can definitely defeat them and seize the cannons they equipped with...but, in this way, the remaining 200 brothers in the patrol battalion will not survive in the end, and it is possible that the entire army will be destroyed..."

At this time, the cavalry battalion manager took the lead and said, "Sir, I will think this method is feasible... As long as the bandits can be defeated, the court will have no way to deal with us. If the bandits can be robbed back the cannons equipped with, the court will probably reward us. As for the soldiers who lost, as long as we are fine, we can replenish them from the people at any time.

In Luo Wenshan's opinion, no matter how many ordinary soldiers' lives are, they cannot compare to their own lives.

So, after the cavalry battalion manager said, Luo Wenshan decided...

"Okay, then we will do it like this... Use the lives of hundreds of soldiers in the patrol battalion to defeat the bandits in Yangjiazhai, fight the bandits to fight the bandits to defeat them..."

The patrol battalion commander Luo Wenshan made up his mind, and with the strong support of the two pipes, the patrol battalion, which had always been slow, was now like a war machine, operating very effectively.

One hour to make rice, half an hour to eat, half an hour to organize equipment, and be prepared for offense...

From dawn, it took only two hours to open the gate of the patrol camp to confinement.

In addition to more than a dozen injuries and continued to stay in the military camp, guarding supplies and war horses, more than 200 people, including Luo Wenshan, the commander of the patrol battalion, drove out of the military camp and pressed towards the artillery position one mile away.

Soon, the vast patrol battalion official army entered Yang Xingguo's vision.

Blocking in the trench dozens of meters in front of the wooden cannon, Yang Xingguo looked at the patrol battalion's official army, which was getting more and more advanced from him.

As for Wang Hu around him, after the shock and surprise just now, facing the patrol camp that was close to him, he showed a touch of worry from the heart.

The patrol battalion was driven out of the military camp by Datang using a strategy, which was indeed what Wang Hu wanted to see the most.

However, when more than two hundred official troops of the patrol battalion appeared in front of him, Wang Hu began to worry about the new recruits around him.

The training time for these recruits around them is too short. They have not learned anything except aiming at the target and firing the gun.

Wang Hu was very worried that these new recruits around him would be frightened to collapse in the battlefield under the attack of the patrol battalion... Can they still aim at the target calmly and shoot bullets in the gun chamber like they did during training?

You must know that the patrol battalion that is rushing towards you is not unarmed.

Not only were they equipped with muskets and old-fashioned rifles, they also had fifty quick guns.

On the battlefield, even if the bullets fired by these weapons do not have too many accurate heads, the blind cat hits a dead mouse, which can cause considerable casualties to the new recruits around them who can't even hide.

Wang Hu didn't know whether the remaining recruits had the courage to continue fighting when facing death after the new recruits suffered casualties on the battlefield.

Yang Xingguo, who was standing by, knew very well what Wang Hu was worried about.

After patting Wang Hu's shoulder, he comforted with confidence: "Second leader, don't worry, we have more than a dozen sharpshooters. With them here, I promise that the officers equipped with quick guns will not be allowed to approach our positions and kill our new recruits..."

"Of course, if any new recruits suffer casualties, they must be carried down as soon as possible to avoid affecting the morale of other new recruits..."

"There are not many officers and soldiers who use fast guns in the patrol battalion, and they are all elite soldiers in the patrol battalion. One less one will die. As long as we kill more officers and soldiers in the patrol battalion equipped with fast guns, the remaining fast gunners will be frightened and afraid and dare not continue to rush forward..."

"So, the official army equipped with quick guns in the patrol battalion was handed over to more than a dozen sharpshooters in the parody to solve the problem. As for the others, they were handed over to two combat platoons... If the enemy could rush to us, it was when we fought with the two deputy platoon leaders."
