Now, Yin Changheng and the 25th Regiment have arrived near Bakun along such a horse road, which is only two or three days away from Qamdo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the tired looks on the faces of the officers and soldiers, and now they are rerouted, which really makes Yin Changheng a little unbearable in his heart. However, the military order was like a mountain, and now the entire front was waiting for the news that the 25th Regiment had arrived in Shuodu and closed the door for the rebels to flee west.

Looking at the pale and obviously spiritless officers who came over, Yin Changheng's brows furrowed higher and higher. The officers are already like this, and the situation of the soldiers can be imagined.

"It's too hard to walk!" Liu Fakun, the commander of the 25th Regiment, walked up to Yin Changheng and complained first.

I can't help Liu Fakun say this, the previous road was slightly better, but since crossing Litang and walking to Bagong, the terrain has become more rugged and difficult to walk, and the road taken these days is simply cut out from the cliff, and the two soldiers walking side by side seem to be a little crowded.

"Division commander, regiment commander, a few more brothers in our battalion are out of breath!" Liu Xiang, commander of the second infantry battalion, walked over with a calm face and reported.

Hearing Liu Xiang's words, Liu Fakun's face immediately changed, and Yin Changheng was even more blushing, his heart was full of grief and worry. These soldiers are not only the soldiers of his Liu Fakun's 25th Regiment, but also the soldiers of his Yin Changheng's 9th Division. After entering the plateau, many soldiers were not accustomed to sudden altitude sickness, and after marching for more than 20 days, more than 10 people in the entire 25th Regiment had been killed, and more than 100 people felt slight breathing difficulties. Before the battle officially began, the non-combat attrition of the whole regiment was already close to completion.

"Now is not the time to complain!" Political commissar Zhang Yunxuan was smoking a cigarette with his head down, how could he, the political commissar, not know the situation in the regiment.

Yin Changheng frowned, as if he hadn't heard the words of a few officers, and said succinctly: "I just received an order from my superiors, ordering my department to immediately divert to the west and capture Shuodu, everyone gives an opinion, how to fight?" ”

Hearing Yin Changheng's words, the officers were silent one by one. They are not afraid of fighting, and they are not afraid of walking, but the harsh climate and rugged mountain roads in this riverside area really make them afraid.

Those who have not walked the Sichuan Road have no idea how difficult the Sichuan Road is, while those who have walked the Ancient Tea Horse Road have begun to miss the Sichuan Road. Because compared to the Ancient Tea Horse Road, the Sichuan Road is undoubtedly like a flat road. This is a phrase that circulates in the mouths of all merchants who walk the Ancient Tea Horse Road. The road into Tibet, except for the ancient tea horse road shuttling on the cliffs, is barely easy to walk, the rest of the road, not to mention the dangers along the way, and it is particularly difficult to walk. This made the officers and men of the 25th Regiment, who were full of ambition to enter Tibet to quell the rebellion, suffer enough.

"Division commander, if you want to talk about fighting, it's easy to fight, after all, the fighting power of the rebels is there. But the key thing is, how do we get to Shuodu? The officers and men are now extremely tired, and I am afraid that they will really not be able to hold on to it while they are in a hurry. Seeing Yin Changheng's increasingly gloomy face, Pan Wenhua, chief of staff of the 25th Regiment, spoke first. Pan Wenhua, who seems to be a weak scholar, has suffered a lot of offends along the way.

Yin Changheng nodded and furrowed his brows again. Pan Wenhua said that he didn't understand, but the military orders were like mountains, and there was no room for bargaining.

"The above order must be clear to everyone, right? In order to lay the groundwork for victory. This battle is destined to be fought, and it must be fought well. Yin Changheng looked a little impatient, and his tone was a little stiff.

"Commander, I think it's better to do this! According to intelligence, the rebels stationed in Shuodu were only a few thousand. We can select a number of soldiers with good physical fitness from the whole regiment and form an advance combat battalion, and I will lead the whole regiment to take a shortcut to Shuodu. With the fighting power of the rabble of the rebels, I believe that it will not be a problem to take Shuodu. As for the remaining part of the officers and soldiers, I will trouble you and the political commissar. Liu Fakun groaned for a long time before he spoke.

Yin Changheng's eyes lit up, and he felt that Liu Fakun's method was really good and feasible. Needless to say, the combat strength of his own subordinates can obviously win against the same number of rebels. When he arrived at Shuodu with the rest of his troops, the whole regiment could take this opportunity to rest for some time. I believe that when the time comes, the 25th Regiment will be able to win against the rebels who have fled from the rout.

"Division commander, Lao Liu's method is good, let me lead the team with Lao Liu." Political Commissar Zhang Yunxuan is quite supportive of Liu Fakun's plan.

"Political commissar, I can do it alone, you can stay behind and organize the remaining officers and soldiers!"

"Okay, don't fight between the two of you, I think Lao Liu will lead the team! After all, there is also a regimental commander left here. Seeing that the two were showing signs of quarreling, Yin Changheng hurriedly came out and interjected.

"Yes! Teachers. Zhang Yunxuan was obviously still a little unconvinced.

"In order to achieve victory in the whole campaign, I hope that the comrades can carry forward the fighting spirit of our army that is not afraid of hardship and sacrifice and marches forward bravely, rush to Shuodu as soon as possible, and seal the door for the rebels to flee west." In the end, Yin Changheng's face was straight, and he said with a serious expression.

"Apart from that, there is no guarantee that the Tibetans we meet along the road will not report to the rebels. Therefore, I ordered that during the period of interspersing with Xiang Shuodu, all the people he met along the way, whether they were lamas, monks, or ordinary Tibetans, should be controlled, and if anyone dared to make a move against our officers and soldiers, they would not be left behind! After deploying the combat mission, Yin Changheng gave an order in a calm voice.

For this murderous order, the generals also nodded tacitly. Fighting in such an unfamiliar terrain, it is not an exaggeration to be careful.

After the southwestern army entered Tibet, as a close confidant of the ** lama, Dasang Zhandong, who led the rebels to attack the Sichuan side this time, obviously got the news. For the pro-British officers, there are British friends in the presence, and it is not difficult to get these messages.

The difference in the original time and space is that in this time and space, Dasang Zhandong personally led the rebels to attack Chamdo. At this time, there were tens of thousands of rebels gathered around Dasang Zhandong, although there were many people, but after all, they were all rabble. After seeing the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Qamdo, Dasang Zhandong could not quickly occupy Qamdo, nor was he absolutely sure that he would be able to defeat the upcoming offensive of the Southwest Army.

Since entering the riverside, they have marched all the way east, winning successive battles, and capturing many places one after another. Although it was all given up by the Southwest Army on its own initiative, Dasang Zhandong obviously did not think so. Seeing the defeat of the Han army, the young Dasang Zhandong became more and more arrogant, and while ordering the plundering of property along the road, he concentrated his 3,000 descendants armed with fast guns with the support of British friends, and quickly advanced towards Qamdo.

The so-called ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and Dasang Zhandong, who fantasizes about occupying Qamdo and recovering the great dream of recovering the Tibetan land, when he really arrived at the city of Qamdo, he was bumped into a bloody battle.

After really seeing the combat strength of the Han army, and hearing the news that a large number of Han troops were coming to Qamdo from British friends, Dasang Zhandong finally began to beat the drum in his heart. He knew what was going on with the army in his own hands, except for the three thousand armed with the quick guns of his British friends and the strength of a battle, the rest were even inferior to the bandits. In the past, they could maintain the ferociousness with the momentum of successive victories, but now under the Qamdo field, after repeated siege failures, their morale is low, and they have long since lost their ferocity.

As a Tibetan close to the British, Dasang Zhandong, who has received military training from the British, is obviously not comparable to ordinary goods. Knowing that if he can't capture Qamdo as soon as possible, he will definitely face a situation of being attacked on his back. Of course, there is another way, and that is to withdraw troops and return to Tibet. But for Dasang Zhandong, who has already made a promise in front of the Buddha and is proud, this road is obviously not suitable for him.

In this way, there is really not much room for him to choose, and he can only grit his teeth and conquer Qamdo. Of course, before that, he had to restore the morale of his soldiers.

For an army that has been undisciplined, the only way to restore its morale as soon as possible is to kill and make money. With Dasang's decision to occupy the east, for a time, the people around the entire Qamdo, regardless of Han and Tibet, began to suffer.
