Chapter 355: Please enter the urn
Feng Heng knew that Wang Yongan was not good at military command, so he took over the topic, after all, Wang Yongan, the protector, only needed to give orders and try his best to plan, and Feng Heng's task was to formulate a battle plan, so he sketched it on the map and said: "If you want to exterminate the revolutionary army of Anhui Province, you must first occupy Tongcheng, I think if the revolutionary army is not stupid, they will definitely occupy Tongcheng first, so Tongcheng is our decisive battle site."

Wang Yongan nodded.
Feng Heng said: "The revolutionary army is actually very jealous of us, if we occupy Tongcheng first, they will inevitably flee back to Anqing Mansion in embarrassment, coupled with the assistance of the Yangtze River Water Division, we will inevitably suffer great losses when attacking Anqing Mansion, so this time we march slowly, let the revolutionary army live in Tongcheng first, so that we use Tongcheng to eliminate their living force, and send a partial division to attack Anqing Mansion and completely annihilate the revolutionary army of Anhui Province." ”
"Please enter the urn?" Wang Yongan asked with a smile.
Feng Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, please enter the urn and wipe out the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army at one time, so as not to have many dreams in the future and the market will be harassed by them." ”
"Very good, very good." Wang Yongan said, then thought twice and asked: "What will be the losses of our army in this battle?" ”
"It's hard to say." Feng Heng smiled bitterly, "We don't know anything about the revolutionary army, we only know that they are composed of three armies, and we don't know anything except one Sun Yuyun who was elected as the governor of Anhui Province. ”
Wang Yongan said: "We are not familiar with them not because they do a good job of secrecy, but because their organizational composition is too messy, so we can't scratch our heads, alas...... How do I feel like I'm at war with a bunch of pigs again? ”
The generals snickered, facing the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army, they all expressed the feeling that victory was in sight, but then Wang Yongan changed the topic, became heavy, and said: "Southern Anhui and we have not maintained normal contact until now, I am worried that Gao Dazhuang has already had two hearts with us." ”
"Gao Dazhuang was originally a bandit, unruly, and good at killing commanders." Fang Xianwu, the commander of the Fifth Brigade, said lightly, "So there is a reason why he wants to be self-reliant now, but I guess he can't do without our support, after all, southern Anhui is poor, and he wants to stand up as a king and pull the king's banner, and there is still a little short." ”
"Tall and strong don't worry." Wang Yongan waved his hand and said, "It is precisely because his subordinates are all bandits, and the habit of bandits is to see money, if we have a conflict with him, we can directly spend money to buy his subordinates." ”
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed and said yes, this trick is the most effective against bandits, spend a little money to do big things, if you spend some more money, you can even let them kill each other, and the Jiangbei Army has the benefit of reaping fishermen.
The Jiangbei Army set out from Yangzhou, marched day and night to Chuzhou, and then followed the official road to Hefei County, the capital of Luzhou, and joined the new Sixth Brigade of the Jiangbei Army that went south, and all 58,000 troops arrived. After resting for the night, the third brigade of the Jiangbei Army under Chen Jian was used as the right flank early the next morning to march to Lu'an County. With the 5th Brigade of the Jiangbei Army of Fangxian's 5th Division as the left flank, they marched to Lujiang County, waiting for an opportunity to outflank the back road of Tongcheng, forcing the enemy army to flee to the south of the Yangtze River; With the Sixth Brigade of Gong Xuewen's Department as the vanguard, it took the lead in killing Shucheng along the middle road; With the Fourth Brigade of the Jiangbei Army under Fan Wentai as the main force on the middle road, he took the baggage troops all the way south along the official road.
Although they were in a hurry some time ago, after arriving at Hefei County and dividing their troops into three routes, the Jiangbei Army slowed down and waited for the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army to enter Tongcheng.
A few days later, the secret agents in Tongcheng sent information that the various units of the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army had been stationed in Tongcheng County, but the Xun army from Jiangxi Province was stationed in Longmian Township, outside Tongcheng County, and occupied the highland of the Sunjialing generation.
"This Li Liejun is not simple." Feng Heng stared at the map and said, explaining the enemy's arrangement for Wang Yongan, "Sunjialing is in the west of Tongcheng, the terrain is higher, and Tongcheng County has formed a subductive situation, and Sunjialing has no shortage of water, the Longmian River flows through Sunjialing, if the garrison has enough ammunition here, it is enough to bring inconvenience to our attack." ”
"Longmian River? Where? Wang Yongan asked with interest.
Feng Heng explained: "The upper reaches of the Longmian River is the Sunjialing Jingwang Temple, according to legend, there was a prince called the King of the Realm in ancient times, who was very friendly to the people, and was buried in Sunjialing in Tongcheng after his death, and the people built the Jingwang Temple in order to commemorate him. Later, the Jingwang Temple was destroyed in the war, and the temple could not be found at all, but some people lived here, so this Jingwang Temple became a place name. Two hundred years ago, a local gentry rebuilt the temple of the king of the realm, but the specific prince is not clear, and many people make it up nonsense, and it is not credible. ”
Wang Yongan nodded and said, "If we don't break Sunjialing, we can't attack Tongcheng with peace of mind, isn't that the truth?" ”
"Yes, we must first break the Xun army of Sunjialing, if we occupy Sunjialing, Tongcheng will be captured by us as we want. If you want to have fewer casualties, you can block the Longmian River, and then wait for the water level to rise, and then flood Tongcheng. Feng Heng's eyes flashed brightly.
"Then take Sun Jialing first and kill Li Liejun." Wang Yongan's fighting spirit was high, he didn't have so strong thoughts about flooding Tongcheng, after all, if Tongcheng was flooded, the most casualties would be ordinary people, and he would have a civil war, why should he kill his own people, he only needed to defeat his opponent.
After the main force of the Jiangbei Army arrived north of Tongcheng, the 6th Brigade of the Jiangbei Army, the forward force, first fought with the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army at the Baier River.
Although Gong Xuewen, the commander of the Sixth Brigade, had come into contact with the revolutionary party when he was studying in Japan, that was a long time ago, and now that he is a major general and brigade commander of the Jiangbei Army, he naturally considers the interests of his own group, and in the face of the revolutionary army, he is ruthless and orders to outflank the enemy.
Although the Baier River is a river, the river is very shallow, and it often dries up if it encounters drought, so the Sixth Regiment of the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Army stationed here built a four-kilometer defense line by the river overnight, and when facing the Jiangbei Army, it was actually broken through the defense line by a charge.
The sixth regiment of the Anhui army turned around and ran, Gong Xuewen had long expected that they were vulnerable, and then ordered the cavalry battalion to pursue. The most willing job of the cavalry battalion is to pursue the defeated army, and the rout of the Anhui army at this time gave the cavalry battalion of the 6th Brigade of the Jiangbei Army the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
"Kill, don't leave a single one!" Lu Xuezhi shouted.
"Kill ......"
