It turned out that the two soldiers were right, and from 4 o'clock in the morning, Guan Fei and the others began to intercept groups of soldiers of the Silent Army one after another. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Fengyun Novel Reading]

Their common feature is that their uniforms are in tatters, and all weapons are discarded, at most only one or two grenades, or a pistol or bayonet. Everyone looks like they haven't rested for a long time, their shape is pinned, and their whole person is deformed.

When they saw the commanders and fighters who came up, they were also very naked, either squatting on the spot with their heads in their hands, or lying on the ground with their hands and feet scattered, and no one made a resistance movement.

These people are okay.

As time passed, more people came from behind, but they also became weaker, and many had to support each other to keep from falling.

On the morning of the 30th, the 3rd and 4th Battalions contained a total of more than 7,000 soldiers of the Puppet Army, and there was not a single exchange of fire between the two sides. To be honest, an army without an organization is not much better than a refugee. When all the defeated soldiers saw the soldiers of the military division, they were not afraid, but showed a look of relief, relaxation, and relief.

The fighters didn't even have to shoot, they took the initiative to disarm themselves.

Later, Guan Fei was worried that the people behind him might starve to death on the road, so he simply sent the third battalion to take a car and bring some food, and went north along the road to contain the rout soldiers and give them something to eat.

By the evening of the 30th, Guan Fei and the others had contained more than 9,000 defeated soldiers, and there were still groups of Wei Dingjun troops who had recovered a little bit of physical strength in front of them. As soon as they saw the fighters on the road, they surrendered, and there were only a few sporadic exchanges of fire before they were quickly killed.

Up to today, the 2nd Battalion and the 1st Militia Regiment led by Sun Yaohua, together with the military sub-district, used an armored vehicle captured in the bridgehead battle at the beginning of the battle and a chariot platoon trained by themselves, carrying all kinds of heavy equipment, and had also uprooted all the strongholds blocking the military sub-division and the Rolling Nong-Xingwei highway, and advanced all the way to the highway, completely opening up the line of communication.

Subsequently, a vast convoy of up to 100 trucks from the military sub-district drove straight along the valley road to join the main force that had been fighting on the outer front for more than nine days, and sent them hundreds of tons of ammunition, heavy equipment, anti-aircraft weapons, logistical supplies, and medicines. And the remains of soldiers, wounded soldiers, and martyrs who have been unwell in field combat for a long time will be sent back to the military sub-district.

Guan Fei led the third and fourth battalions to firmly jam the choke point, and even captured nearly 10,000 defeated soldiers without firing a shot, basically removing the threat from the west. Now that the lines of communication were unblocked, the military sub-district no longer had any worries, and began to be confident and bold, and within five kilometers of the rolling lane, surrounded the thousands of remnants of the army, including the turtle, and began to build fortifications on a large scale, showing its determination to hold on for a long time and vow to seize the rolling lane.

The Rolling Line was originally intended as an offensive starting point, and the direction of defense was also towards the east, and the west was almost completely unfortified.

It was only when the divisions had eliminated the enemy forces on the road and began to roll in*, that they began to build their positions in a hurry. Many trenches were dug, pillboxes were built with earthen ramparts, and barbed wire was pulled.

However, this hastily constructed defense line naturally could not be as strong as the east, at least a large number of fortifications were made of stone and earth, and unlike the military subdivisions, which had so many reinforced concrete that could be used to strengthen the fortifications, the protective power was very suspicious.

Rolling is not on a mountain, but a flat land by the river, except for a river channel tens of meters wide, there is no other place that can be called a natural danger.

The military sub-district arranged the other two captured 25-pounder medium howitzers to the rear position, and together with hundreds of other artillery pieces of various types, according to the layout of the enemy's defensive line detected by the reconnaissance plane, under Sun Yaohua's order, fired 100 artillery guns in unison and launched a fierce artillery attack on the enemy's artillery position.

The sound of artillery rumbled, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the flames soared into the sky.

In just 10 minutes, the powerful striking fire composed of hundreds of artillery pieces completely destroyed the enemy's artillery position. The trenches that the enemy hastily dug in the course of several days were filled in with heavy artillery fire, the pillboxes were blown down, the barbed wire fences were blown to pieces, and all exposed firing points were mercilessly attacked.

This was nothing, when the military sub-division appeared in the forward position with the captured tanks and began to methodically call the surviving fire points one by one, the enemy finally lost the confidence and determination to continue to resist and began to surrender en masse.

At the direction of the guns, the surviving soldiers of one by one fire points began to wave white flags, crawled out of the bunker and the remnants of the trenches, and surrendered with their hands raised.

The last resistance ended when the commanders* approached the city and repelled several short enemy assaults and destroyed several houses that had been used as points of fire with tanks. One by one, the soldiers of the Silent Army threw down their guns, obediently obeyed the instructions of the soldiers, stepped out of the bunker, gathered in the open space, and then marched to the open space outside the city in batches to concentrate on guard.

From the first attempt to launch an offensive operation against Rolling Lane in '72 to the end of December '80, it took nearly nine years for this important front-line town to be finally conquered.

With the capture of this vital stronghold, the forces of the military sub-district were completely liberated. After a short discussion, Sun Yaohua, Yu Bohai, Geng Feng and others were escorted back to the military subdivision by a regiment of militiamen, and the rest of the large troops, together with tank armored units, mobile air defense units, two militia regiments, as well as logistics convoys, and even the remaining more than 1,000 people's troops in Guogen were also entrapped in them and rushed to Xingwei.

As long as Xingwei City is taken, it will be the last perfect end to the entire battle.

For a time, radio-controlled reconnaissance planes were in the lead, tank units opened the way, armored vehicles and trucks carried some troops to provide fire support, and tens of thousands of regular troops and militiamen were on foot, dragging artillery pieces, artillery on them, and logistical supply convoys loaded with all kinds of materials and marching westward along the Rolling Lane-Xingwei Highway.

Yu Lu can also see many soldiers of the Weiding Army who were defeated in the early stage and fled to the mountains on both sides, unkempt as they watched the majestic and imposing troops marching mightily.

These routed soldiers hid in the mountains for many days, without food or drink, and were already so hungry that they had no will to fight. Many of the defeated soldiers also fell ill from eating inedible weeds, poisonous mushrooms, unboiled streams and other unclean things.

At this time, seeing that the military division had achieved a complete victory, they no longer wanted to continue to hide in the mountains, so they went down the mountain and surrendered one after another.

In the course of the march of the large army, it was common to see the rout of the routed and filthy army of the Weiding Army, descending from the hillside in groups of three or five, standing up from the grass, emerging from behind the big trees where they were hiding, getting up from the dirt pits, and burrowing out of the mountains, and coming to the side of the road step by step, raising their hands high to the commanders and fighters of the military sub-districts passing by, shouting "surrender" in Chinese.

Some of the guns and ammunition they carried when they fled were also handed over to the soldiers who came to receive them, including a few bullets and grenades hidden in the close position of their underwear.

When the large army arrived at Xingwei, it had been occupied by the third and fourth battalions led by Guan Fei - the enemy's remaining personnel had waited for the large army to arrive for a long time, and after hearing from the few soldiers who had escaped from the detour that they had all been captured by the military division, they abandoned the city and fled in the first two days with hundreds of routs in the shelter.

The arrival of the large army made Guan Fei extremely happy, he only had 12,300 men under his command, and it was really difficult to manage nearly 10,000 prisoners, and there was a shortage of manpower to prevent them from escaping, and there was no time to do other work. The most important thing is that he did not have enough food to provide for so many prisoners, Xingwei is a small city, only recognizes the national currency, not the renminbi, although he brings some money, he can't buy much food from the people.

He couldn't rob it, he couldn't buy it, and he had been very nervous about keeping these captives from starving to death in the past two days.

Now that the logistics line is finally unblocked, a large number of supplies have been sent, and they have finally helped him solve the problem of feeding this group of prisoners. After burying the pot and making them a full meal, they were escorted back to Xincheng by two militia regiments, where they were imprisoned with their comrades of the 77th Division.

As soon as the manpower was released, he drew a defense map based on his observations in the previous two days, and assigned it to his troops to begin building a new defensive line in the mountains eight kilometers south of Xingwei.

The geographical location of Xingwei is very important, it is located at the three-way intersection of Mujie-Roll-Lashio, and it is guarded.

This is a very important node.

Defending this place, the enemy will definitely not be able to launch an attack on the depth of the military subdivision unless he leads his troops through the mountains and forests and goes around to the rear, just like Guan Fei.

The military sub-district successively took several villages and towns in the valley roads such as Guogen, Qingshuihe, Rolling Lane, and Maika, as well as several villages and towns along the Rolling Road to Xingwei. Most of the 88th Division has also been tied, and at most there are two or three thousand remnants trapped in Mujie or scattered on the roads and mountains along the way, and they can be destroyed by repairing the defensive line and backhanding. There should be some local Tusi armed forces and self-defense forces in several villages scattered in the mountainous areas, and it is troublesome but not difficult to clean up.

It can be said that Guan Fei has completely brought the northeastern mountainous area, which is more than 90 kilometers away from east to west and 80 kilometers from north to south, and about 7,000 square kilometers away, into the control of the military sub-district, and has become the new master of this land!

The north and east sides of the strengthened military sub-district are backed by the national border, and the west is the lofty mountains and mountains controlled by the People's Party and the Wa armed forces, and only the enemy is facing the west.

However, there is no need to worry too much about the westward direction, because this is a triangular plateau with a wide top and a narrow bottom, and it is very difficult to travel long distances.

The only major road that can enter the mountainous areas of Northeast China is the road between Hing Wei and Lashio!

As long as Sister Mu's remnants of the enemy are cleared, Guan Fei will no longer need to guard the troops in all directions, and as soon as the fight starts, he will tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and gather troops. Garrison a small number of troops at several major town nodes along the way, and cooperate with the militia to rely on strong fortifications to prevent enemy infiltration and hold these points. On the other hand, the main force can concentrate on garrisoning Xingwei to keep the rear away from the flames of war, and can confidently and boldly carry out economic construction.

If the garrison has sufficient troops, it is possible to build multiple lines of defense and form a system.

In this way, the defense system can be built more completely, the means of defense can be more diversified, and multi-level firepower strikes can be achieved at long, medium, and near levels, and all defense points can also effectively support each other, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy's heavy troops, and the entire defense line will completely collapse if the first line is broken through.

Before the start of the war, Guan Fei didn't expect that the battle would develop so smoothly, and the enemy would be so clumsy and vulnerable.

He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about his anxiety when he heard that the enemy was going to attack in a big way, and when he thought back to the whole process of this battle.

That general is really a good friend who is considerate.

If it weren't for the fact that he had decided on the military division, brazenly tore up the peace agreement, and launched an all-out attack, Guan Fei would have no reason to start a war without permission, and could only abide by the original promise to the country, endure threats from all directions, and huddle up by a narrow river of 500 square kilometers. How can there be a base area that has skyrocketed by 14 or 5 times, and there are no strong enemies around, so that we can devote ourselves to economic construction and scientific research and development without worries!

Your Excellency, I should sincerely say to you: thank you!
