At the foot of Wangdu Mountain, the headquarters of the 1st Division.

Liu Chengxing rushed in, and said with great joy: "Military seat, good news at the front, good news!" The first regiment cooperated with the guard battalion to break through the defense line of the Yue army and annihilate more than 10,000 people! The remnants of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Fourth Division of the Army fled to Baoding in a hurry! ”

"Really?" Zhang Mingyu was obviously surprised.

"Hmmm! It's true, the fourth division of the little devils is also too bad, as soon as the air force bombarded indiscriminately, they began to desert, and then they were caught up by the first regiment and the guard battalion, and chased directly into the city. Street fighting is our strong point, and the first regiment and the guard battalion are even more masters of street fighting. Liu Cheng nodded and said excitedly.

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded and said with relief: "Order the third regiment to immediately use Wangdu Mountain as a barrier to build field fortifications, and the second regiment will follow me into the city!" "Indeed, the army that can fight street battles with a regiment and the demons in the guard battalion has not yet been born, and the fourth division of the little devil can't fight in the field, and the street fighting is even worse.

"Yes!" Liu Cheng stood upright and turned around to leave.

"Slow," Zhang Mingyu waved his hand to signal Liu Cheng to stop.

Liu Cheng turned around and asked, "Junzao, is there anything else?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Mingyu pondered for a while and said: "You go and send a good report to the Military Commission and the Second Theater Commander's Department, just say that our department has annihilated more than 10,000 people in the army after a hard fight and recovered Qingdu, and the next target of our department will be Baoding." ”

"Yes!" Liu Cheng nodded in agreement, and then turned around and left.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Mingyu did this was actually for three purposes: First, to report to Chairman Jiang for victory, not to sincerely report for victory, but to give him a good reputation. The second was to send electricity to Yan Xishan, because at this time Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army had already been dispatched, and it was likely to be not far from the hundreds of thousands of ambush soldiers of the Yue army.

If it is possible to bring Jin Suijun in, it may be able to relieve the pressure on his side.

The most important point is that Zhang Mingyu suspected that his radio code had been deciphered by the army, and some time ago, the planes of the army were like having eyes, and every time they could find the location of Zhang Mingyu's headquarters, they came to bomb.

However, every time Zhang Mingyu was extremely lucky to dodge, the possibility of internal Han annihilation was ruled out, then there was only one possibility, his radio station was monitored and deciphered by the army.

The reason why the news of the attack on Baoding was revealed in the telegram was to see if there was any movement in the army, after all, the reading army took Qingdu, and it was possible that the troops would come to Baoding at any time.

Soon Liu Cheng walked into the telecommunications room, and the two telegrams flew to Yucheng, thousands of miles away, and Pingshan County, hundreds of miles away, respectively.

……………………

Yucheng, the leader's official residence.

Chairman Chiang Kai-shek had just finished holding a news conference, at which he brazenly publicized China's brilliant achievements in North China and that the army had plunged thousands of miles to cheer for the entire people.

As soon as Chairman Jiang returned to the office after the meeting, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, rushed in with a look of excitement.

Seeing that Chairman Jiang was sitting on a chair, closing his eyes and recuperating, Wang Shihe walked over respectfully, and then said softly: "Bench, read Lijun's call!" ”

"Huh?" Chairman Jiang opened his eyes rather tired and said, "Read." ”

After a fierce battle, the first division annihilated more than 10,000 people of the army, captured innumerable, and recovered the county seat of Qingdu. The telegram also said that the reading force did not say that he would go north to recover Baoding. ”

"What annihilated more than 10,000 people in the Yue army?" Chairman Jiang asked in shock. You must know that other [***] fight with hundreds of thousands of people for a year, and sometimes it is difficult to eliminate one guy, and eliminate more than 10,000 people! Zhang Mingyu annihilated tens of thousands of Yue troops in a short period of time, which is really unbelievable.

"Yes!" Wang Shihe replied respectfully.

Chairman Jiang stood up and waved his hand: "Give the Reading Force a telegram and reward 100,000 yuan in legal currency, and hope that he will make persistent efforts." ”

"Yes!" Wang Shihe gladly accepted the order and immediately turned to leave.

……………………… Pingshan County, former enemy headquarters of the Second Theater of Operations.

The attendant adjutant Xu Youde strode into the headquarters with a telegram in his hand, and said uprightly: "Commander, read the call from Lijun!" ”

"What? Reading the power army? Yan Xishan was puzzled and said, "What kind of message did you send from Reading Lijun?" Read! ”

"Yes!" Xu Youde read loudly: "The call from the Reading Force is now in Qingdu County, and Yu Yukou fought fiercely, annihilating more than 10,000 people in the Yue Army, and capturing countless people!" and recovered the county seat of Qingdu. ”

"What? Annihilated more than 10,000 people? Obediently, this Zhang Mingyu is getting more and more powerful in the war, and one guy has eliminated more than 10,000 people, and now he can be hurt. Yan Xishan said awe-inspiringly.

"Yes! In addition, General Zhang Mingyu also said in the telegram that he would attack Baoding, and hoped that we could assist them. Xu Youde also said with excitement on his face.

"What? Attack Baoding? Didn't he, Zhang Mingyu, know that the army of more than 100,000 people was already blocked behind their butts? Yan Xishan was puzzled and said: "More than 100,000 soldiers, how can we help him?" ”

"This ........." Xu Youde said: "This humble position is not clear. ”

"In this way, you immediately go to the communication room, send a telegram to Reading Lijun in my name, inform them of the situation of the army, and then send a telegram to Yang Aiyuan, asking him to help Reading Lijun when necessary!" Yan Xishan waved his hand.

"Yes!" Xu Youde stood upright and immediately took the order.

………………….

Qingdu County, at this time the city of the Reading Army soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Mingyu with Liu Cheng and others led the second regiment has arrived, seeing the streets are full of corpses of soldiers on both sides, everyone's mood is solemn, the scorched beams, the tattered streets, all indicate that there has been a fierce battle here.

At this time, Niu Tiangui, the commander of the first regiment, rushed over with Li Gang, the commander of the guard battalion, and when they saw Zhang Mingyu, the two of them stood up and saluted: "Military seat!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu nodded slightly, which was considered a return gift.

Then he turned his head to look at the messy street and asked, "What are our casualties this time?" ”

"Our regiment suffered more than 3,000 casualties, of which 1,600 were killed and 400 were seriously wounded." Niu Tiangui replied with some frustration.

"Our guard battalion suffered more than 400 casualties! Two hundred were killed and eighty were seriously wounded. Li Gang replied bluntly.

"Four hundred? A third of the guard battalion was reduced? Zhang Mingyu asked in surprise.

"Oh, that's right, the guard battalion was the first to break through the defense line of the Yue Army, and was the first to rush into the city, so the casualties were relatively large!" Ushida explained.
