C21 The great broken horse

The fear in the enemy soldiers' hearts when facing such a suicidal person could be imagined. Although they also raised their guns to shoot, none of them dared to remain still while aiming. Most of the bullets were shot out, and they staggered as they retreated, pushing through the crowd.

The enemy Battalion Commander was stunned, and blood spurted out from his chest as he fell onto the ground.

A battle was like a tug of war, especially when the two sides were at a stalemate. If one side were to let go, and the balance of power was broken, the next step would be a victory for Gu La.

The death of the Battalion Commander was a huge blow to the soldiers' morale. They unwittingly retreated a few steps back, and the soldiers in front of them quickly squeezed back against Ma Zuoyi. Ma Zuoyi raised his head, still unsettled, as he heard the shouts that were getting closer and closer, the ear-piercing sounds of Ma Zuoyi being caught alive resounding in his ears like a demon note. Fear suddenly arose in his heart.

As the Chief of Staff spoke, he was pushed aside by the soldiers who tried to retreat. He fell to the ground unsteadily and quickly grabbed onto Ma Zuoyi's hand and shouted, "Master, we can't hold on anymore, you should leave now."

As Ma Zuoyi listened to the words' retreat ', he stood up with extreme grief and indignation. I am a veteran in Guangdong Province, from the Revolution of 1911 to the Rebellion of Yuan Zhou and the Protectors, I have fought hundreds of battles, and I am also someone who had rolled around in a pile of corpses. If I am beaten up by a bunch of young students and soldiers to escape today, wouldn't it make everyone laugh in ridicule me?

He threw away the chief of staff with his red eyes and cursed, "Retreat your mother! When I was at war, these children were still drinking milk! If I got beaten away by a group of soldiers, I wouldn't have the face to face with others!"

Although the number of people in Revolutionary Army was small, but with their high morale, with only a small retreat, they were only able to win. Now that they had retreated, they could still gather their troops and fight again, but if something were to happen to Ma Zuoyi, their teacher, then there would be no way for them to fight anymore.

"Master!" The chief of the staff was anxious, he could not watch as Ma Zuoyi acted in a daze. Seeing that the Revolutionary Army was about to attack him, he kneeled on the ground and hugged Ma Zuoyi's leg, and said with tears in his voice: "Back then, Zeng Guofeng repeatedly failed at the hands of the State of Taiping, and he failed to kill himself in the river after being defeated. However, he was not discouraged. As long as the mountain is still alive, there will still be wood to burn.

Ma Zuoyi gritted his teeth as he looked at the Chief of Staff kneeling on the ground, then looked at the retreating troops. After hesitating for a moment, he stomped his feet with a pale face: "Retreat! "F * cking retreat."

When the chief of staff heard that Ma Zuoyi was willing to withdraw, he stopped crying and turned around to pull Ma Zuoyi away. He promised his aide-de-camp, "You stay here to cut off our rear, we'll give you a Battalion Commander job when we return to Huizhou."

The aide was pale at first, but when he heard the Chief of Staff's promise, he hesitated only a second before saying excitedly, "Chief of Staff, don't worry."

The enemy troops near the west gate wanted to come back, but how could Shen Yingshi's two groups let him do as he pleased? Shen Yingshi ordered the three battalions of the teaching second group to charge towards the enemy troops outside the city gate.

The resistance troops left behind by the enemies could not withstand the teaching second group's fearless assault. The students of Huang Po rushed forward bravely, they dared to be the vanguard, charging wherever the enemies attacked the most fiercely.

Li Boyang's attack on the enemy's headquarters was equivalent to inserting a dagger into the heart of the enemy, causing the enemy to lose their craziness, while teaching second group's attack was like a sharp scalpel, instantly destroying the enemy's attack.

Although there were two enemies in front of him who were not shorter than him, with a shake of his shoulders, a feint scared the enemy in front of him and made him retreat. The left side quickly picked up the bayonet that the enemy was piercing towards, and with the return side of his hand, he stabbed the enemy in the chest as well. He then took a big step forward and swung his spear straight at the enemy's face on the left.

This chain of actions was done in one go. To the bystanders, it seemed as if two enemies had fallen at the same time. Li Boyang who was watching at the side was also praising, Lan Yundong's bayonet fighting technique was indeed practiced to the extreme.

This time, Li Boyang had no intention of going forward. Instead, he steadily fought under the protection of several soldiers.

As a Battalion Commander, he commanded several hundred people to fight. Unless it was absolutely necessary, his primary task was to lead the troops, not to lead the charge, and to lead the charge, naturally there would be a Company of Queue length under him, just like the valiant Lan Yundong.

"Not good, Ma Zuoyi wants to run!"

Li Boyang's eyes had been observing the enemy's movements the entire time. He was sharp enough to feel that the enemy's legs were in chaos, the enemy that was just resisting suddenly became chaotic, he could vaguely see soldiers escaping from the enemy's position. Li Boyang immediately knew that it was Ma Zuoyi who escaped.

"Ma Zuoyi has escaped, the soldiers are coming with me to kill!" Li Boyang shouted at the right time, and struck the enemy's vital parts.

The enemy at the back had long known that their leader, Ma Zuoyi, had retreated, and the reason why the enemy troops in front of them were still resisting tenaciously was because Ma Zuoyi was right behind them. Now that they had been exposed by Li Boyang, they immediately thought in their hearts, if their teacher ran, then I will run too, so the enemy doesn't have any fighting spirit at all.

"Go back and stop it for laozi!" Ma Zuoyi's aide-de-camp stared and pointed his gun at the retreating soldiers.

"F * ck your mother! The teachers have all run away!" In this situation, the retreating soldiers didn't put the aide-de-camp in their eyes at all and retreated like a swarm of bees.

"Bam!"

The aide-de-camp panicked. He raised his hand and hit the chest of the frontmost deserter. The deserter fell to the ground.

Since he had fired his gun, the aide-de-camp was ready to sacrifice himself. He fired three shots in a row at several deserters, scaring them so much that they didn't dare take another step back. He shouted with red eyes, "If anyone takes another step back, I'll kill him."

The soldiers were stunned. The commander had run away, and the battalion commander had died too. Revolutionary Army was fighting so ferociously, if they went back, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths.

A Queue length whose stomach was pierced by a bayonet yet not dead stood out. With one hand holding his stomach that was still dripping blood and the other holding a barbed gun, he pointed it at his aide-de-camp and said through gritted teeth, "Chief does not care about the lives and deaths of our brothers. If we don't fight this battle, you want to die, or else don't blame us brothers for falling out with you."

The aide-de-camp's eyes turned cold. He pointed his gun at Queue length and was about to shoot, but he immediately paled and didn't dare to move.

There was the sound of a gun being pulled, and more than a dozen guns were aimed at the aide-de-camp. The deserters' faces were flushed red, this was a crazy reaction, the aide-de-camp's mouth was full of bitterness, he knew that the soldiers would really shoot at him.

The aide gritted his teeth as he lowered the gun. The deserters rushed back to their positions.

"Kill!"

When the enemies that did not want to fight anymore realized that they were being chased away, no one fought anymore. They turned their heads and ran, ignoring the shiny bayonets of the Revolutionary Army behind them.

There were a lot of casualties in the battle. One of them happened during the battle, and the other one was when the troops failed. They couldn't organize an effective retreat sequence, so it was inevitable that there would be a lot of casualties.

The soldiers of the special task force pounced on the rear of the enemies with their bayonets, swung their snow-white bayonets high and quickly dropped them down, the sound of flesh hitting the ground entered their ears. Almost at the same instant they fled, tens of enemies were already pierced like targets.

"Lan Yundong, lead the special forces to continue chasing the enemy. After chasing the enemy for two miles, come back quickly to the enemy's flank." Seeing the reinforcements that the enemy had brought back from the west gate, he immediately ordered the next battle: "3rd Battalion will immediately build a position and block the enemy troops."

The position that Ma Zuoyi had left behind was being used by Li Boyang once again. The soldiers didn't have time to dig the trenches and sandbags, and could only use the corpses of both sides as cover at the front of the formation. This was not an inhumane action, war was a game for the living.

When he was about to reach the high ground, Ma Zuoyi's guard company and the Seventh Battalion that the two groups had reinforced were already defeated. They were about to face the 3rd Battalion who was in a ready situation.

History repeated itself once again. A few hours ago, it was the regiment that had successfully broken through the 3rd Battalion. And now, the 3rd Battalion had returned to her defensive position at the top of the mountain, as the group once again attacked.

enemy leader had defeated one of Wang Boling's regiment and was in high spirits. When he saw the position of the Revolutionary Army from afar, he immediately issued an attack order and once again gathered his elites to launch a fierce assault.

The main military officers of an army would often subtly direct their individual battle tactics into the entire army. The troops brought out by the Hong Zhao-Lin could be considered as having made these three battle-axes learn to be elites.

With a single glance at the enemy from the front of the position, Lee knew the direction of their attack and the disposition of their forces. He knew that it would be difficult for him, the 3rd Battalion's few hundred people, to block the attack from the enemy's spirit. He muttered to himself for a bit, and then shouted: "Luo Qun."

"Battalion Commander." Luo Qun immediately ran over.

Li Boyang said to Luo Qun: "Place the heavy machine gun in the middle to the back."

Luo Qun hesitated for a moment, then said: "Battalion Commander, the enemy forces have the advantage in numbers, if there is no fire to suppress them, it would be hard to defend the position."

Li Boyang turned to look at Luo Qun, and said: "We obey."

Luo Qun immediately did not dare to speak anymore. He loudly ordered the soldiers, "Zhou Shi Di, move the heavy machine gun to the second line of defense."

"The enemy is coming up, let them take the first position in the center." Li Boyang's eyes were bright as he explained his plan to Luo Qun: "Wait for the enemy to attack from the two wings when they get into position, then force them to retreat towards the middle, and enter the range of the heavy machine gun."

At first, Luo Qun did not understand why he had to place all his firepower at the back of his wings. When Li Boyang brought out the entire defensive plan, he only thought about it and then knew that this was an excellent defensive tactic to lure the enemy into the deeper parts of the base.
