On the official road from Ziyang to southern Sichuan, hundreds of soldiers of the special combat battalion were digging pits wielding shovels and shovels.

That's right, it's digging a pit, and it's not a big pit where traps can be arranged, but a small pit the size of a foot.

The whole of the special operations battalion did not understand the use of digging such a small pit, and if the road was to be destroyed and the marching speed of the three divisions was delayed, digging such a small pit would not work.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, the special operations battalion has strict military discipline, and since the young commander has an order, the soldiers of the special operations battalion will not hesitate to sweat with their physical strength.

"Young marshal, I don't understand, what's the use of digging these small pits?" After all, Lu Dayong couldn't help but open his mouth to ask Wang Mo.

Li Jian and Zhang Wei also immediately pricked up their ears, they were also curious about the purpose of the young marshal's order to dig these small pits.

"Of course it works, and it's useful! Since you're all so curious, let me show you something. Wang Mo smiled mysteriously, then turned his head and shouted to several soldiers of the special operations battalion, "Go, bring those boxes over." ”

After a while, several soldiers of the special operations battalion carried two large wooden boxes. The large wooden box looked very heavy, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion who carried the box had a hard time carrying it.

When they opened the box, Lu Dayong and the others saw that the box was full of some strange things.

It's strange because the box is full of iron lumps that don't know what they do.

Wang Mo took out a large piece of iron from the box and said, "This is a mine, a Russian-made infantry mine." ”

"Landmines? What is this mine used for? Li Jian looked at the mine carefully, and couldn't figure out what this big piece of iron was for.

Zhang Wei compared the size of the mine, looked at the size of the pits on the ground, and suddenly shouted: "I know, this mine must be buried in this pit!" ”

"Isn't it, what are you doing in this big iron pit?" Lu Dayong was puzzled.

Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Landmines, as the name suggests, are mines buried in the ground. In layman's terms, it is a bomb buried in the ground. ”

The mine is a low-cost defensive weapon, and the anti-infantry mine - developed by Russia around 1903, is the first standardized mine. This is a combat weapon that was widely used in both World War I and World War II, and Wang Mo certainly will not ignore it.

Since it is necessary to delay the marching speed of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Sichuan Army, it is the simplest and most effective means to plant dozens or hundreds of mines at intervals on their marching path.

Wang Mo took out a mine, carefully placed it in a pit, set up the detonating device, and then buried it with soil.

"Let the brethren be careful, this anti-infantry mine is triggered by pressure, that is, it will explode if you step on it." Wang Mo instructed Lu Dayong and the others that the officers and men of the special operations battalion still didn't understand what this mine was, and if it blew up their own people, they would be in the cup.

This mine will explode when stepped on?

Lu Dayong, Li Jian, and Zhang Wei did not dare to slack off when they saw the young marshal's solemn appearance, and they all conveyed the danger of the mine to the soldiers of the special operations battalion below.

Subsequently, while arranging the minefield, Wang Mo taught the officers and men of the special operations battalion the use of landmines and precautions.

At this time, the three divisions stranded in Jianyang did not know that Wang Mo had prepared a sumptuous mine feast for them, and they were busy with a lot of anxiety. In particular, the 2nd Division did not rest well last night, and the troops sent out to pursue suffered heavy casualties.

At the joint operations meeting, Peng Guanglie, commander of the 2nd Division, had a gloomy face, and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

Sun Zhaoluan, the commander of the 3rd Division, persuaded: "Brother Zhixian, isn't it just the loss of half of the battalion head." When will our soldiers prepare the corpse of Ma Geri, catch those turtle grandsons who touched the camp last night, and take revenge, won't we get it? ”

Peng Guanglie pretended to always love to pretend, and Sun Zhaoluan, the eldest coarse man who pretended to be a literati, did not have a good face, and squeezed out words from between his teeth: "Get out!" If you love the horse leather shroud, wrap yourself up, don't be an eyesore with Lao Tzu! ”

The hot face was pasted with a cold buttocks, Sun Zhaoluan's face turned red with anger, and he scolded angrily: "Hammer, what do you mean? Can you talk? I'm a fairy board, you are a bully when you are Lao Tzu? ”

Peng Guanglie was holding back an evil fire in his heart and had no place to vent, so naturally he slapped the table on the spot and scolded: "Lao Tzu's pretense of being a general with your other words is very annoying, isn't it?" ”

"You ......" Sun Zhaoluan was so angry that his eyes were red and his neck was thick.

Seeing that the two of them were about to stage an all-martial arts march on the spot, Liu Cunhou, the commander of the 4th Division, hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Brother Peng, Brother Sun, now is not the time to quarrel, the top priority is to implement the military order of the overseer army as soon as possible and march into southern Sichuan." ”

Peng Guanglie and Sun Zhaoluan snorted coldly, and sat down with calm faces.

At this time, a Sichuan army communications soldier hurriedly walked into the conference room and handed a document to Liu Cunhou.

Liu Cunhou opened the document and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed drastically: "This is trouble, the southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army actually transferred the main force to the east and attacked Chongqing with all its might, and the overseer ordered us to rush to southern Sichuan within ten days no matter what." ”

"What?" Peng Guanglie immediately took the message in Liu Cunhou's hand and checked it.

"It seems that it must have been a small force of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army that attacked and harassed us many times last night, and the purpose was definitely to delay our march into southern Sichuan." Liu Cunhou immediately thought of last night's attack on the camp.

"This group of turtle grandsons is really wishful thinking, using a small force to entangle our 30,000 troops, but the main force ran to fight Chongqing." Sun Zhaoluan patted his head and admired the tactics of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.

"The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army? So, those who attacked the camp last night were the people of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army? Peng Guanglie gritted his teeth and said that he couldn't wait to eat those rats who could only hide their heads and shrink their tails.

Liu Cunhou nodded and said: "That's right, judging from their combat methods, it is likely to be the ace elite led by Wang Mo, the young marshal of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, the Wild Wolf Special Combat Battalion." ”

Seeing Peng Guanglie's hateful appearance, Liu Cunhou was very worried that Peng Guanglie would get entangled with the special operations battalion and delay the speed of the march, so he said: "Brother Peng, you can rest assured, since this wolf special operations battalion is here to delay our marching speed, as long as we speed up and march into southern Sichuan, they will soon come to trouble us again." ”

"Since it's coming, it's good, that's good!" Peng Guanglie said coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Now that they knew that the purpose of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was to delay time, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sichuan Army naturally stopped procrastinating and began to march at full speed to the southern Sichuan region.

……

In Chongqing, the offensive and defensive battles are still extremely fierce.

Wang Haoshan watched the battlefield through the telescope, his face was gloomy, he didn't expect that the defenders of Chongqing actually had so many troops. Only a cursory observation shows that the defenders of Chongqing have at least 20,000 horses, twice as many as the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan.

"Stop the attack and let the three regiments withdraw!" Wang Haoshan gave an order with a blushing face.

The military order was conveyed, and the three regiments, which launched a fierce charge towards Chongqing, retreated like a tide, and another attack failed.

In the past two days, the three main regiments of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army have taken turns to storm fiercely, not only did not break the defense line of the defenders of Chongqing, but suffered nearly 1,000 casualties themselves, and the losses were not insignificant.

At the post-war summary meeting, Wang Haoshan scolded all the officers: "Aren't you usually the best in the world, always shouting to sweep the whole Sichuan and beat Beiyang?" Now, I was beaten into shit by a few miscellaneous troops in Chongqing! That's right, you're shit, shit that can't hold up the wall! ”

All the officers present at the meeting bowed their heads and did not dare to catch their breath.

After a long while, Wang Haoshan's anger calmed down slightly, and said, "Say, how long will it take for you to take Chongqing?" You must know that the three divisions on the Chengdu side may enter southern Sichuan at any time and sweep away our old nest. ”

At this time, a young officer said: "Marshal, let our artillery regiment launch a full-scale artillery bombardment." I believe that the defense line of Chongqing will absolutely not be able to withstand the covering shelling of our artillery regiment. With just two rounds of shelling, their motley troops will collapse! ”

The young officer's name is Li Xudong, and he is currently the head of the artillery regiment. He used to be a member of the Wild Wolf Special Combat Team, and was transferred to the Artillery Regiment by Wang Mo to assist Hao Gang in commanding and managing the Artillery Regiment. After Hao Gang returned to the first regiment to lead the troops, he was appointed as the commander of the artillery regiment.

Hao Gang's eyes lit up, he knew the terrifying artillery power of the artillery regiment best, and immediately said: "Marshal, as long as the artillery regiment is allowed to launch a comprehensive artillery bombardment, I will dare to issue a military order, and I will definitely rush into Chongqing with a regiment before tomorrow!" ”

Wang Haoshan said angrily: "Didn't you say at the beginning to avoid accidentally injuring the houses in the city, and you can take Chongqing without the need for artillery regiments?" ”

All the officers couldn't help but look embarrassed, they were really full of confidence at the beginning, and they didn't pay any attention to the miscellaneous cards in Chongqing, thinking that they could easily take Chongqing without the need for artillery regiments to kill chickens and knives.

Wang Haoshan considered that large-scale shelling was indeed easy to bomb people's houses by mistake, and that after the war, it would also arouse the hostility and hatred of the people in Chongqing, so he accepted this opinion of the officers.

However, no one expected that the miscellaneous troops in Chongqing would have so many troops, the defense line would be so tenacious, and the southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army had no experience in attacking fortifications, which led to such repeated attacks now.

"Marshal, why don't we let the soldiers shout at Chongqing City and warn the people living near the city wall to evacuate quickly. After the war, we will compensate the people whose houses were blown up, and in this case, I believe that the people of Chongqing will not have any resentment against our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army. Ge Changchun suggested.

Wang Haoshan didn't want to delay any longer, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed to this suggestion: "Okay, immediately arrange for the soldiers to shout, and give the people living by the city wall a day to evacuate." Tomorrow, the artillery regiment will launch a full-scale artillery bombardment, and the whole army will launch a general attack! ”

"Yes!"

All the officers stood up in unison and answered the order!
