Chapter Ninety-Six: Offensive and Defensive Changes

The capture of Zizhou City is the same as that of Weiyuan County, the difference is that Weiyuan has Yang Dongfang personally led a large army to kill, while there is only one 9 battalions outside Zizhou City, and the strength is already weaker. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition, there is Tang Yougeng in the city, and the military heart is relatively stable, so the capture of the city in the city is nervous, and it is used to train with three groups (Yang Dongfang deceived Zizhou City at the beginning, robbed the three families of the militia training, and later the New People's Army released the women of the three families, and the men were all left in the mountains as hostages, so these three families have been secretly in contact with the New People's Army. When the militia led by the rebellion could not do anything to the Chengdu soldiers in the city, they were suspicious, and finally fought hard at the city gate for a while, and then the 9th battalion entered the city to repel the Qing soldiers.

However, in the end, Tang Yougeng was blocked in the county office, and the explosives bag was taken down by the New People's Army after the door was broken.

"Battalion commander, there is a Qing dog who escaped from the east gate, and he also took a lot of Qing soldiers with him, should we chase after him?"

The 9 battalion commander caught Tang Yougeng, where can he still see the escaped cats and dogs, and only said: "Tang Butcher has been caught by us, and the one who escaped is not a big person, I heard Yu County's order say that that person is just a thousand presidents, regardless of him, we still have few people or close the city gate first to guard the prisoners, and wait for the regiment commander to come to make a decision." ”

After saying it proudly, the commander of the 9th battalion mentioned again: "By the way, send someone to Qianwei to inform the division commander, and say that we have captured Tang Yougeng, I believe that the division commander will be very happy." ”

The messenger went out of the city, and when he was halfway to dawn, he happened to run into Yang Dongfang.

"What, the five thousand Tang Army have been wiped out, I really didn't expect that this fat guy can be numb!" Yang Dongfang was also surprised and delighted when he heard this, he didn't expect Tang Yougeng to be broken by the New People's Army so quickly, and even Zizhou was taken down.

The person who reported the news was obviously cheap and obedient, and inherited Li He's style: "Commander! This is not your credit, if it weren't for your ten new guns, we wouldn't have been able to break through Tang Yougeng's camp in half a day, or you have good guidance, if this kind of new artillery is often used in the future, it is also possible for our three regiments to defeat Chengdu. ”

"The new artillery has indeed played a great role, but the performance of your three regiments is also very heroic, and the command of the three regiment commanders is also good, you go back and tell your regiment commander that the artillery regiment is directly under the division headquarters, and he will not fight the idea of this artillery, unless he can get me the main force of an army to come out."

"Ahh

Xiao Jiujiu of the person who reported the news was punctured, and he was embarrassed at the moment and went back to reply to the letter, it turned out that he was a member of the guard platoon of the third regiment, and naturally he was somewhat infected with Li He's black belly, and the new cannon was so sharp Of course, he wanted to cover it in his hands, and he was worried that he would not have meritorious achievements in the future.

Tieshan Xinchang also ended a battle before dawn, the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, the pungent smell in the air was still very strong, and a charred corpse was carried out by the officers and soldiers to dig a pit and bury it, at this time someone rode over on horseback: "Deputy division commander, the engineer regiment has taken over the battle with Zhou Da's men and horses." ”

"It's fighting again, this Cai Zhi, it's true, he doesn't want to leave some seeds for the engineer regiment, who can't learn from me, this old man is so playful."

Tie 13 shook his head and said helplessly, and then ordered solemnly: "Inform the engineer regiment, just say that Xinchang has been taken down by our second regiment, don't fight with others, now it's our turn to encircle and suppress the Hunan army." Let them withdraw first, or go to the boundary field. ”

"Yes!"

In the north of Tieshan, Zhou Dawu had just received the news, his face was extremely gloomy, and he summoned his subordinates to come over to discuss.

"The boundary field was taken away by the new bandits again, and the new bandit Cai Zhi also went to the boundary field and cut off the logistics line of our department, how good is this."

"My lord, I'm taking back the Boundary Field."

"It's not proper, I see that the new bandits are digging deep trenches outside the city, and they are secretly numb, so it's better to be cautious."

"Be cautious, we will run out of food in two days, what will we eat, do we have to go to the east to ask Tang Yougeng for food."

"Either you will fight first, and if you can fight it, you will take it back, and if you can't beat it, you will go to the direction of Xinchang and ask for food from the southern Sichuan soldiers summoned by Liu Yue."

Zhou Dawu nodded and agreed, and then led people to the company boundary field, and attacked according to the platoon, but was wounded by the musketeers in the trench one after another, and as many as two or three hundred people, but did not attack and defend a few warriors, so he stopped.

At this time, he realized that this warrior had cover for each other, and it was not easy to take it, so he stopped first.

As soon as he stopped and withdrew the attacking team, a messenger came to report, and the man saw Zhou Dawu kneeling down to pay homage and said: "Lord Zhou, the new field has been taken away by the leader of the new bandits, Tie Thirteen, and our lord wants me to ask, even the boundary field is still there." ”

"What, the new field was also taken away." Zhou Dawu was taken aback, you must know that there were originally 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed there, how to say that it is gone, how did Wang Yingyuan and Ling Chengen's 5,000 soldiers pursue.

"Exactly! By the way, the eastern part was also taken by the new bandits, and the 5,000 Tang troops were wiped out. "The messenger is not afraid that **** Dawu will have a heart attack, and he will throw a pound of bombs, which will make him scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Buy cakes! Don butcher this thing! "He has seen the elite of Tang Yougeng's goods, and this group of Sichuan babies is also very powerful, but he didn't expect that he would be wiped out in one face, what kind of combat effectiveness is this of the New People's Army, and how can it improve so quickly all of a sudden.

Finally calmed down, and after analyzing the current situation, Zhou Dawu found that he and others had changed from offensive to defensive, and they were in a critical situation, and the entire Iron Mountain was surrounded by the New People's Army.

Overnight, the offense and defense changed momentum.

Next, Wang Songlin and Ling Chengen also received the news one after another, and they were frightened like cats for a while, and their morale plummeted.

Zhou Dawu is also a decisive person, and it is the best strategy to gather all the departments in the mountains at the moment, and it is the best strategy to take the boundary field, so he stormed it again, but this time his subordinate defeated Ge Hui did not get his wish.

"Scrap the hands of the Tang butcher, and then escort me back to Heishan Tsui and hand it over to Master Zeng and Xiao Zhongzhong to deal with." captured Tang Yougeng alive, Yang Dongfang was also a little more relaxed, and did not kill him on the spot, because he knew that someone wanted to skin Tang Butcher alive.

Leaving the 9th Battalion in Zizhou, Yang Dongfang took Bai Fan into Tieshan and did not return to Heishanzui.

Instead, he ran to the Lianjie Field overnight.

At this time, the 3rd Regiment had already been ordered to come to the Lian Boundary Field to besiege Zhou Dawu, and Tie 13 divided his forces to pursue Wang Songlin and Ling Chengen, and did not let Zhou Dawu merge the various units into one to strengthen the troops.

"Big brother, you're finally back." The fat man said happily, and Yang Dongfang hugged him: "Yes, fat man, your kid played well, and he actually killed the five thousand elites of the Tang Butcher at once." ”

The fat man didn't dare to take credit, and said with a smile: "Big brother, if it weren't for the new artillery of the artillery regiment, it is estimated that the Tang Army would not be able to gnaw, big brother, I now believe what you said before you left Sichuan, it is possible for a regiment to overturn 100,000 people." ”

Yang Dongfang smiled and said, "What happened to the Xiang army." ”

The fat man replied: "We persuaded Zhou Dawu to surrender a few times, but he didn't reply, but he didn't break through, I think so, just surround it like this, we don't need to fight for two days when we are hungry, we go directly to collect the body, and save ammunition." ”

Li He's plan is indeed good, but Yang Dongfang said: "It won't take two days, I'll go in now and let Zhou Dawu surrender." ”

"What! Big brother, you have to go in personally, how can this be done, in case. Li He was shocked, and really thought of why Tongyang Dongfang wanted to be like this, but the opposite side was the Hunan army that couldn't blink an eye, a group of people who were at the end of the road, in case something happened, it was too dangerous.

"It's okay, they can't hurt me, and besides, if a Hunan army surrenders to us, you can imagine the influence." Ignoring Li He's opposition, Yang Dongfang confidently walked straight to the front of the trapped Hunan army and shouted in his voice: "I'm Yang Dongfang, I want to talk to your commander-in-chief Zhou Mengxiong." ”
