215 brave
In the mountains northwest of Baijia Town, Wang Zhanyuan's department moved forward with difficulty. In the Dabie Mountain area in the cold winter, the wind blowing at night can make ice caps.
On the rugged mountain road, it is difficult for mules and horses to move, and it is often carried and pushed by soldiers to move forward. The clothes of the officers and soldiers were soaked in sweat. At night, when the mountain wind blew, it was completely cold, and the Beiyang officers and soldiers suffered a lot.
What's worse is that the map taken by many units of the Beiyang Army was drawn by Zeng Guofan against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At present, it has long been completely different. In addition, it is often foggy at night and the difficulty of lighting restrictions. The troops often lose contact, and the soldiers run everywhere, which makes Wang Zhanyuan's head hurt.
But the military order is like a mountain, and the soldiers are impermanent. Only by quickly rushing to the rear and getting rid of the attack of the Li Crazy Revolutionary Army can we be safe. Wang Zhanyuan was well aware of the power of this point, so regardless of the tenacious resistance of the small defenders along the way and all losses, he rushed forward desperately.
The main force of Wang Zhanyuan's department has entered the areas of Qianjialing, Beijie Street, Tiger Tip and Shibao Mountain, and the in-depth attack target of Anlu County is almost exhausted.
But Wang Zhanyuan's smooth good luck all the way has come to an end. As the saying goes, when people are unlucky, they will have their teeth when they drink cold water.
After Wang Zhanyuan broke through the Duduo Villa, his luck has always been bad, and even the terrain and weather are against him.
In the Shibao Mountain area, the guard of the left wing of the revolutionary army is Song Que's Golden Eagle Commando, which has just been withdrawn from the front line of Duba Villa, which has once again become a stumbling block to Wang Zhanyuan.
In the battle of Duba Villa, the Golden Eagle Commando under the command of Song Que ate Wang Zhanyuan's use of gas bombs and suffered from the detour. If it hadn't been for the cover of Zhou Wu's First Division and the Golden Eagle Commando, the Golden Eagle Commando would have been almost unable to withdraw.
Song Que has a lot of wisdom, and has a lot of gas bombs on his wing side. A search team was sent from a long distance, and there were cover troops at close range. They were always wary of their wings, and each soldier carried a towel and kettle to protect against gas bombs.
The report of the search team attracted Song Que's attention, but he never dreamed that the Beiyang Army would be so bold and arrogant. Reports from all sides on the discovery of a large number of Beiyang Army made him both nervous and excited. Wang Zhanyuan was also unlucky and hit Song Que's muzzle again and again.
Because Sun Chuanfang's troops were still blocked by Li Xiping's second division in Guangshui, the Golden Eagle Commando did not have much worries. Song Que decisively ordered the whole army to turn around and defend, blocking the waist and attacking the enemy.
The highly alert Golden Eagle Commando suddenly turned around, turned the eastward defense into a westward attack, and immediately dragged Wang Zhanyuan's troops in place.
Song Que blocked the enemy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he rushed to the division headquarters of the First Division.
Besides, Li Xiang, Zeng Gao and Zhou Wu have disappeared since Wang Zhanyuan's department suddenly broke out from Duba Villa. They have always had a premonition of what Duan Qirui is playing tricks. Although Wang Zhanyuan's people have encountered sporadic resistance, they have not been discovered by the revolutionary army because of their good concealment.
Song Que's report surprised them.
Zeng looked up at the big arrow on the map that had circled the back of Anlu. He sighed, "Good boy, Duan Qirui has a big appetite and wants to wrap my two masters in it. I think he is crazy. How dare he send Wang Zhanyuan's lonely army into our army.
As he said, he turned around and called the staff to give power to Zhou Wu in the war zone and Lin Tie, the commander of the third division: the enemy king Zhanyuan's spirit of drilling is very strong, and he has reached the depth of the front line of our Shibao Mountain. Our regiment intends to draw a large army to annihilate the intruding enemy to go backwards.
Zeng Gao was young, vigorous and had amazing courage. At the time of fighting and retreating in all battlefields across the country, he resolutely made up his mind to annihilate Wang Zhanyuan of the Beiyang Army again.
It was not until the staff officer was ordered to leave that Zeng Gao found that there was still a big man here. He couldn't help but be frightened by the arbitrariness just now. He carefully peeked at Marshal Li, who had been silent. In the battle of Duba Villa, Marshal Li threatened not to destroy the enemy and wanted his own head. Although it will not be over in the future, the defeat of Duba Villa is also the root of his impulse.
General Li nodded with satisfaction and praised. There was no need to weigh the pros and cons. He resolutely stood on Zeng Gao's side and believed in him. The defeat of the Duba Villa is not the failure of the soldiers of the revolutionary army or the generals of the revolutionary army. At the time of this war, Marshal Li respects the opinions of his subordinates and has the courage to take responsibility for failure. He can't really cut off Zeng Gao's head. It should be admitted that this is an excellent quality for him as a general. With this, he has won the trust of his subordinates many times.
Zeng Gao is not a timid mediocre general. As a mobile regiment, from the first day of the attack on the Beijing-Han Railway battlefield, he should wait for the opportunity to knock on the Beiyang Army in the maneuver. The defeat of Duba Villa is also the shame of life. How can he let go of the opportunity to avenge the arrow? Marshal Li's trust is undoubtedly more far from his determination.
Zeng Gao began to take special " care" for Wang Zhanyuan, who was alone. He grabbed the phone again and again.
"Hey, pick up the Second Division."
"Master Lin, is Lin Tiechang there?"
"What, have you gone to the front line? Who else is in the division now? What? No more?"
"Hey, pick up the artillery for me."
"Shoot me in front of the position of the Golden Eagle Commando. Yes, hit it in front of the position of the Golden Eagle Commando.
"I must block the enemy's attack with artillery fire, regardless of accidental injury. Yes, yes, the gunfire is covered."
"Lin Tiechang is back. Please ask Master Lin to immediately surround the Qianjialing Beiyang Army from the east and cut off its possible retreat."
"Is Master Zhou Wu there? Please surround the western half of Qianjialing.
With several orders in a row, Zeng Gao almost took out a desperate air.
More than 30,000 revolutionary army troops flew to Qianjialing and surrounded more than 10,000 people from Wang Zhanyuan's army in ten square kilometers of mountains.
Wang Zhanyuan's sneak attack did not work, but fell into a desperate situation on all sides.
Xiaogan Camp.
In the Beiyang First Army Duan Qirui Army, there are many reports of Wang Zhan's elders: "Many places on the way forward are difficult to pass even with horses. It is very difficult to move forward. The terrain is intertwined and complex, and the map is inaccurate. In addition, due to fog and other reasons in the night operation, even the position of his own team can't be identified, and the troops in the army often lose contact.
Wang Zhanyuan, who is blind and blind, doesn't know himself, and he doesn't know the world, so he can only rush around.
There is a report: "The army is constantly being shot by the enemy from the flank. At 12 o'clock, it seems to enter near Bishan, and a new enemy appears. The strength is unknown, and it is in battle."
Reported again: "Cut off Xiaoxi Avenue this evening."
Wang Zhanyuan's report is far from the actual situation. The position reported by Wang Zhanyuan is more than 20 miles south of its actual location. More than 20 miles, insignificant on the map, but in the case of fierce literary warfare, every area is a long march, and every mountain bag is a fortress. A small mistake is enough to destroy a large army.
When the Xiaogan camp finally figured out the position of Wang Zhanyuan, the revolutionary army had formed a great encirclement of the aggressive enemy Wang Zhanyuan.
Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were shocked by this problem, because if Wang Zhanyuan was really surrounded, the consequences would be disastrous. Because Wang Zhanyuan's department is a dangerous move, as long as he is eliminated by Li Madman, the whole adventure plan will be completed.
After hesitating, Xu Shuzheng decided to call Sun Chuanfang. As soon as the phone was connected, Sun Chuanfang's slightly hoarse voice came from the other side.
Xu Shuzheng still knows more about Sun Chuanfang.
Since the First World War in Huangcun, no one has said that Sun Chuanfang has made peace by means. Sun Chuanfang's ability to fight well also left a deep impression on the generals of Beiyang. The battle was tragic. Moreover, Sun Chuanfang earned face for herself, and Xu Shuzheng still understood it very well.
It is also because of this that after the end of the siege and suppressing of Huangcun, many generals were transferred and demoted, but Xu Shuzheng opened his mouth to help Sun Chuanfang maintain independence, although Sun Chuanfang's establishment opportunity was disabled in Huangcun.
"How's it going over there?" Xu Shuzheng did not directly ask Sun Chuanfang about the situation that he had been unable to break through Guangshui.
"The situation is not very good. A position has also broken through, but we are organizing an assault." Sun Chuanfang did not hide anything, and he also knew what Xu Shuzheng called at this time.
Xu Shuzheng didn't say much, because he knew Sun Chuanfang's temper. After all, the Beiyang Army, composed of children from the north of China, is a famous fierce division in history. At this moment, it still does not want to retreat and insists on achieving the predetermined goal. However, although Sun Chuanfang's attack in Guangshui is insufficient, he is always subjectively absent-minded.
Xu Shuzheng was silent for a while and still said, "The combat principle of our Beiyang Army places great emphasis on attack. Attack when attacking, and attacking when defending. Dedicated defense is just synonymous with soft, coward and incompetent people. Even at the worst time, Beiyang soldiers do not want to use the word "defense" simply, and often use the title of "offensive defense"!"
It is a kind of bravery to emphasize the attack to such an absolute extent. This kind of bravery can stimulate combat effectiveness to the greatest extent, and can make the troops on the verge of despair "put it dead and come back to life", but it can also make the existing roomless and fall into an irreparable situation.
The bravery of Wang Zhanyuan Department brought the latter ending.
Now, Xu Shuzheng has asked Sun Chuanfang again. Is it just that Sun Chuanfang, a fox-like shrewd guy, be fooled?
Sure enough, after the silence, Sun Chuanfang still said, "This force has been fighting with the enemy since then, and today, it has been resisted by the enemy in front of its face. Our army has repeatedly attacked and persistently. The enemy has repeatedly counterattacked and persisted. The position has changed hands many times. The two sides have repeatedly pulled the saw, and they are still in a state of stalemate. So far, there have been serious casualties in our department, and half of the casualties of the middle and captains of our departments have reached the first level.
After listening to the report, Xu Shuzheng was in a gloomy mood. In just a few days, the general officer of Sun Chuanfang, who was weak in attack, suffered such heavy casualties, and the deaths and injuries of lower-level soldiers could be imagined. It seems that Sun Chuanfang and Wang Zhanyuan alone cannot achieve the combat purpose of the Beiyang Army.
(New Year's greetings to everyone, congratulations on making a fortune!)
