Wang Mo walked into the command headquarters set up in the forward position in a military uniform, not only wearing white gloves on his hands, but also pinning a unique command knife of this era on his waist, the gilded scabbard shimmering in the sun. △

Syllable!

The 24 regimental regiments in the headquarters all stood up, saluted Wang Mo, and then stood solemnly and stood by.

Wang Mo came to the main seat in the middle and sat down, and then raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

Poof――

All the officers sat down at the same time, and the neat voices resonated like one voice.

"Bring the map!" Wang Mo ordered to the orderlies in the headquarters.

Soon, the orderly took a map of Chuandong Province and spread it out on the table.

Wang Mo cooperated with the map and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the news from the front-line reconnaissance troops, the vanguard of the Guizhou army has crossed Nanchuan this morning and is rapidly approaching Chongqing!" ”

"Young marshal, I don't know how many troops the Qian army has, and how is the firepower?" Li Jian, commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army, asked, he is the most warlike officer in this group of officers, advocating scientific calculation and careful deduction.

Wang Mo still liked such an officer very much, looked at Li Jian with appreciation, and said: "Judging from the general situation of the current reconnaissance, the Guizhou Army has the strength of three regiments, and an artillery team with a scale comparable to our two artillery companies, plus some auxiliary troops, there are nearly 10,000 people. ”

"There are only three regiments with less than 10,000 troops, and they dare to enter Sichuan, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead!"

Basically, all the officers present thought this way, and before they knew it, they already had the confidence and pride of being a strong army.

"Young Marshal, let me take the 1st Regiment to destroy the vanguard of the Guizhou Army first. Tell the turtle sons of Qianjun that Sichuan is not a place where they can come whenever they want! Hao Gang was the first to stand up and ask Wang Mo for battle, and seeing his excited expression, he knew that he wanted to give the Qianjun a hard time.

"No!" Wang Mo waved his hand and rejected Hao Gang's invitation to fight, and said, "We will not move the vanguard of the Guizhou army!" Not only can I not move, but I also have to remove all the local armed forces and outposts along the way, so that the Qianjun army can drive straight into it unimpeded! ”

Ge Changchun thought for a moment and asked, "Young Marshal, do you mean to lure the enemy deeper?" ”

Wang Mo nodded and said, "That's right, I am going to set the battlefield in this open area on the outskirts of Chongqing and fight a face-to-face positional battle with the Guizhou army!" ”

"Young Marshal, what if the Qianjun army perceives the strong strength of our army and does not dare to attack Chongqing, but instead turns west and rushes to Chengdu?" Li Jian asked again

"Yes, it's possible!" Wang Mo nodded and said, "So, I decided to deploy the 2nd Division on the right flank in the direction of Jiangjin. As soon as the Guizhou army had the intention of turning westward, the 2nd Division immediately attacked and blocked its westward advance! ”

Wang Mo paused, and then said: "If the Guizhou army has no intention of turning west, but goes straight to Chongqing. Then after the start of the war, the 2nd Division also attacked immediately! Speaking of this, Wang Mo put the five fingers of his right hand together into a hand knife, and suddenly everything on the map from Jiangjin to Lingjiang and Nanchuan, "Cut from the right flank to the back of the Qian army, completely blocking the retreat of the Qian army!" ”

At this time, everyone could see that the young marshal was planning to wipe out the Qianjun army, and there was not even a scumbag left!

"In this battle, what I need is not a defensive blocking battle, nor a defeat battle, what I want is a war of annihilation! As long as I wipe out the Guizhou army, not a single soldier can slip through the net, don't you understand? Wang Mo said, and slammed his fist on the logo representing the Qianjun on the map.

"Understood!"

All the officers stood in awe, and they all answered the order loudly!

……

"The Sichuan army can also be considered an army?" Liu Xianqian said to the officers around him with disdain on his face.

The Liu family is a wealthy family, during the Xianfeng period, Liu Xianqian's father and ancestor should run a regiment and prosper, and then the Liu brothers inherited their father's business, practiced Yong to run a regiment, united the squire, colluded with the government, suppressed the revolution, slaughtered the people, dominated one side, and established a small dynasty of the Liu family.

Guizhou is also a poor place, but because it is poor, the people are fierce and bandits are rampant. Also because of poverty, the Qianjun army has repeatedly pretended to be bandits to loot Hunan, eastern Sichuan and other places.

Before Wang Mo entered eastern Sichuan, Liu Xianqian had personally led a team into eastern Sichuan more than once to plunder, which was both his luck and his misfortune. Fortunately, he didn't hit Wang Mo's iron plate headlong, but unfortunately because of this, he still doesn't know that Wang Mo is an iron plate and not the tofu scum he imagined.

The officers under Liu Xianqian were all his old subordinates when he was the chief soldier of Anyi Town, so he naturally knew when to make fun, so some officers immediately smiled and said: "The observation envoy is right, as far as those deflated calves of the Sichuan army are concerned, it is also worth our fanfare to enter Sichuan to encircle and suppress?" I heard that Cai Dudu in Yunnan led a large army into Sichuan, what a knife to kill! ”

mentioned that Cai Yi led the main force of the Yunnan army into Sichuan, and the officers of the Guizhou Army present all looked relaxed and laughed. In their opinion, even if the Sichuan army still has some strength to press the bottom of the box, it must have been transferred to deal with the Yunnan army attacking southern Sichuan, and it is naturally impossible to have any decent troops to stop them.

"Okay, although the Sichuan army is not worried, but you rabbit cubs don't herd sheep for Lao Tzu one by one!" Liu Xianqian warned the people who had shown slackness, and then turned his head to a middle-aged officer and asked, "Zehua, what is the current situation of your forward 1st battalion?" ”

The middle-aged officer's name is Zhao Fei, the head of the Anyi Garrison Regiment, and Liu Xianqian's old subordinate for many years, replied: "Observer, the 1st Battalion of the Forward is currently approaching the suburbs of Chongqing, and has not encountered interception and ambush by the Sichuan army along the way. ”

Immediately, an officer sneered: "It seems that those deflated calves of the Sichuan army found out that our army was approaching, and they were so frightened that they peed their pants and ran away!" ”

"Haha......"

A group of officers of the Guizhou Army laughed loudly, as if they had seen countless soldiers of the Sichuan Army who were so frightened that they ran to Chongqing City.

"Since the Sichuan army has shrunk its eggs, then we don't need to be polite. Let the brothers speed up and enter the city of Chongqing, and ask for silver and girls! Liu Xianqian's words were full of arrogance.

However, Liu Xianqian's troops were originally soldiers and bandits, and when they heard Yinzi and the girls, their eyes immediately lit up, and they couldn't wait to rush into Chongqing City now and loot it.

The Guizhou army did not take the Sichuan army very seriously, and marched towards Chongqing with a swagger, if it were not for Wang Mo in order to put them on the outskirts of Chongqing to annihilate them all, I am afraid that only one surprise attack would make the Guizhou army fall into chaos and be defeated.

Before information warfare, the war of any army was first waged from the reconnaissance troops. The reconnaissance unit is the eyes and ears of the army, and before the main force goes to war, it is often the reconnaissance unit that starts a fierce battle. Therefore, most of the reconnaissance units are the elite of an army, and the strength of the reconnaissance units also reflects the strength of the main forces to a certain extent.

This war between the Guizhou and Sichuan armies was no exception, and both sides sent a large number of scouts and scouts to conduct detailed surveys of the situation around their troops.

Wang Mo did not intercept and kill the Tanma sent by the Qianjun to Chongqing, but clearly told Liu Xianqian that there was no ambush on the Chongqing side, although he was relieved to march boldly.

However, on the west road in the direction of Jiangjin, it was just the opposite, Wang Mo sent almost all the elite reconnaissance teams of the 2nd Division out, and made every effort to intercept and kill the probe horses sent to the west by the Guizhou army, so as to prevent the situation of the 2nd Division from being detected by the Guizhou army.

Although the strange situation on the west road also attracted some attention from Liu Xianqian, he thought that this was the back road of the Sichuan army to defend the westward retreat, so he did not invest any more troops and explore horses to find out the situation on the west road. After all, in his opinion, as long as the Sichuan army in Chongqing is defeated, everything will naturally go well.

"His grandmother's, the Sichuan army, a group of goods who are afraid of death, the fortifications are not bad!" Liu Xianqian put down the binoculars and scolded and said, he originally thought that it would be easy to solve the Sichuan army, but he didn't expect that the Sichuan army also built fortifications that looked solid, which made him a little depressed.

"The observer thinks that the artillery team can first clear the fire points on the fortifications of the Sichuan army, so that we will reduce a lot of casualties." Zhao Fei said.

"It's okay, order the artillery team to pull out all the artillery, as well as the ten seven-life and five-mountain cannons at the bottom of the pressure box! Let those turtles in the Sichuan army take a look at what is called artillery, and how to be considered a truly powerful new army! Liu Xianqian waved his hand domineeringly and ordered.

Seven to five, that is, 75mm caliber, this caliber of artillery is only considered light artillery in the foreigners, but it can already be called heavy artillery in China where artillery is scarce.

Liu Xianqian's small Qianxi observation enabled him to save ten seven-life and five-mountain cannons, which is indeed very rare, and this is also one thing he is extremely proud of.

After receiving Liu Xianqian's order, the artillery team of the Guizhou army quickly completed its deployment and quickly launched an artillery bombardment of the Sichuan army's position.

Boom-boom-boom-

One after another, the shells smashed on the positions of the Sichuan army, and the pillboxes and bunkers that seemed to be very conspicuous were destroyed and bulldozed one after another by the shells.

"Ge Laozi, it's so fucking breathless!" In the anti-artillery hole, Hao Gang spit out the sand poured into his mouth, looking indignant, "The young marshal is really really, what else do you want to do to lure the enemy." It's just a real knife and a real gun, and Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't destroy those turtle grandsons of the Qianjun! ”

After several rounds of shelling, Liu Xianqian looked through the telescope and was very satisfied, and the strong fortifications on the Sichuan army's position as far as his eye could see were basically razed to the ground.

Liu Xianqian waved his hand and ordered: "Order all regiments to launch a comprehensive general attack, and give Lao Tzu a charge to kill the Sichuan army!" ”

At this time, on the Sichuan army's position, one by one the Sichuan soldiers quickly drilled out of the anti-artillery holes, and one by one light and heavy machine gun crews emerged from the hidden trenches, and one after another set up a very light and heavy machine gun, and boxes of bullet chains were piled up next to them.

In the artillery position behind the trench, 100 75mm Grusen mountain guns lifted the branches and leaves used for cover, revealing a hideous posture.

"The target, the artillery position of the Guizhou army, all artillery immediately adjust the shelling of Zhuyuan!"

The herald waved the command flag and gave the order.

The observer quickly reported the parameters, and the main gunner immediately shook the cradle vigorously and adjusted the shelling elements.

As the main gunners shook the rockers, the muzzles of the 100 75mm Grusen Mountain guns slowly moved upward, and the rows of black holes looked murderous.
