Chapter 202: The Elegy of the Chahar Dispatch Corps (4)
After returning to the division headquarters, Qian Zhuangfei had summarized the progress of each unit.
Liu Yimin took a look, the 2nd Brigade and the 4th Brigade led by Liu Jianli and the heavy firepower troops had already taken Yangqu, and Chen Dayong taught the 7th Brigade to keep in touch with the Dibujiagui troops.
In the direction of the Zhengtai Line, Zeng Zhongsheng led the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Brigades to Yangquan and formed an encirclement. According to the investigation, there is only one brigade-sized defender in Yangquan City, and the main force of the 15th Brigade has been driven to Pingding, and it is possible to attack Niangzi Pass.
In the direction of Niangziguan, Zhang Hongtao reported that the army coming from the direction of Shijiazhuang was about a wing, and at 11 o'clock in the morning, the first wave of squadron size test surname attack, but was repulsed. The second wave of the brigade attack began at 11:30, and after being repulsed, the army suspended the attack, presumably waiting for reinforcements.
After reading the situation, Liu Yimin knew that the army did not understand the strength of the instructor at all, and thought that the scale of the troops attacking and occupying Niangzi Pass was not very large, otherwise it would not have used only one wing to attack. Therefore, he ordered Zeng Zhongsheng to speed up, attack Yangquan a little, assault the whole army, quickly solve the Yangquan garrison, march east to pacify, and encircle and mingle into the 15th Brigade under Niangzi Pass. Zhang Hongtao was ordered to earnestly strengthen the fortifications, make preparations for firing artillery, anti-poison, and air defense, not only to resist the attack of the army outside Niangzi Pass, but also to intercept the attack of the 15th Brigade and Regiment of Reading Force. Zhao Shan was strictly ordered to lead the Eighth Brigade to speed up the march, and quickly reinforced the Sixth Brigade of Zhang Hongtao, so as to resist the two-way attack of the Yue Army on Niangzi Pass, and buy time for the main force to rush to gather and annihilate the enemy.
As for Liu's group on the Tongpu line, Liu Yimin demanded that they follow the battle plan and set up a position to encircle and annihilate the enemy on the retreat of the Tongpu line after the second brigade and regiment were mixed with the Dibu Gui troops.
Then, Liu Yimin sent a report to Wu Zheng, asking him to lead the baggage regiment to rest in Jinzhong and rush back to Taiyuan to be responsible for the transfer of materials in Taiyuan. The new corps was placed under the command of Hu Laohu, a cavalry division, and monitored the movements of the Itagaki troops on the front line in Jinzhong.
Hu Laohu reported that the Itagaki group did turn around and withdraw to Huozhou, asking if they were following the pursuit.
Liu Yimin ordered Hu Laohu to send a small force to monitor the enemy, and the main force rested and stood by.
After giving the order, Liu Yimin went to the front of the map to figure out what Itagaki was going to do.
Liu Yimin naturally knows this person very well, he is bold, adventurous, strategic, and often disobedient, and he is a very outstanding figure in the army. Now that he dares to disobey the order and refuse to withdraw to Hebei, there must be a greater plan. This plot is now nothing more than two points, one is to wave the army to the north and recapture Taiyuan. The second is to concentrate forces to defeat [***] and occupy the south and southeast of Jin. You can even cross Zhongtiao Mountain and enter Henan and Shaanxi.
Comparing the two plans, if it is a general general, it is natural that the first choice will be to recapture Taiyuan. In that case, by the time the Yue army arrived in Taiyuan from Huozhou, its main force would have already eliminated the 2nd Brigade of Reading Force, the 15th Brigade of Di Bujia Gui and the 15th Brigade of Reading Force, and by using the railway, they could quickly concentrate their troops near Taiyuan and use the fortifications built by Yan Xishan outside Taiyuan City to resist the Yue Army, and when the Eighth Route Army, Wei Lihuang's 14th Group Army, and Jin Sui Army surrounded them, Banyuan would be the end of the destruction of the whole army. If he wants to recapture Taiyuan, he doesn't have to return to Huozhou, waste oil, and just turn from Qinxian to Jinzhong to attack and advance.
Looking at it now, Itagaki must have made up his mind to attack Yan Xishan's and Wei Lihuang's troops south.
The old devil of Banyuan is ruthless enough, after the battle of Xinkou of the Jin Sui Army and the Fourteenth Group Army, the losses are too great, and it is not too much to say that they will not be able to defeat the army. Because in history, the army stopped advancing south after capturing Pingyao, so that Wei Lihuang's troops and the Jin Sui army had a chance to breathe, and Chiang Kai-shek urgently transferred troops from all walks of life to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, so that the battle line was stabilized in Zhongtiao Mountain. Now the situation has changed, the devil has lost Taiyuan, and at the same time there is no burden to digest and consolidate Taiyuan, the two divisions and regiments have been killed, and the consequences are really terrible, because the troops in the southern direction of Jin are still in the stage of escaping, and they have not yet completed the rectification, plus they have recovered Taiyuan, Chiang Kai-shek may relax his vigilance, and it is too late to transfer a large army to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, in this way, Itagaki will go south very smoothly. The only way was for Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang to act immediately, quickly withdraw to Zhongtiao Mountain to deploy defenses, and let Chiang Kai-shek urgently transfer troops from western Henan to cross the river to support and strengthen the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line. In this way, although Linfen and Yuncheng were lost, the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line would not be broken.
After the situation was clearly judged, Liu Yimin immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters, reported the intelligence report that the Itagaki group turned around and turned to Huozhou, reported his judgment that Banyuan was going to sweep through Jinnan, and also told the possible consequences if the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line was lost, and asked the headquarters to immediately report to the Second Theater Commander's Department and Wei Lihuang's 14th Group Army, and directly report to Chiang Kai-shek, so that all armies in Jinnan could quickly mobilize, clear the field with strong walls, block and delay the enemy's attack speed, and turn the main force to Zhongtiao Mountain for defense.
Zhu, Peng, and Zuo replied that their judgment was in line with Liu Yimin's judgment, and that they had already informed Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang of the telegram, and it was now decided to forward the original text of Liu Yimin's telegram to Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang, and to report to Chiang Kai-shek by urgent telegram.
Only then did Liu Yimin feel relieved and began to send a telegram to the chairman, requesting that cadres be sent to cross the river and go to Shanxi to form a local anti-Ming political axe regime, and to consider the selection of the chief administrative officer of Taiyuan City, and strive to build Shanxi into a strong anti-Japanese base area that relies on each other with Shaanxi.
By the time these things were done, it was already dark. Liu Yimin asked Huang Wenhu and Li Xiaoshuai to bring the rice, and stared at the map while eating, thinking about how to solve the problem of the Itagaki Group after eliminating the second brigade and the fifteenth brigade.
Thinking about it, I am a little fascinated, I don't know where Itagaki, the old devil who actively advocated aggression against China, has now, I don't know how many kind and helpless Chinese along the way have been ruined because of this old devil's whimsy, and I don't know how many Chinese soldiers will fall under the butcher's knife of the invaders. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and I couldn't help but drop the bowl in my hand.
The sound of the bowl falling to the ground and shattering finally woke Liu Yimin from deep thought, and a soft female voice came from his ear: "What do you think?" I was so fascinated that I didn't eat any food, and I even dropped the bowl! ”
As soon as Liu Yimin looked up, he saw Song Meiling looking at him with a smile on her face, and the female secretary named Song Yaoguang was bending down to clean up the broken bowls on the ground.
Liu Yimin was embarrassed, and said, "Let Mrs. see you laugh", and after speaking, he complained that Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Ren Ying behind Song Meiling didn't know how to call him, so that Mrs. Jiang could see the joke.
Song Meiling smiled and said that she didn't blame them, she didn't let them shout. She wanted to see what China's most famous young general looked like in the command headquarters.
Liu Yimin smiled and said humbly: "Madame, what is the most famous young general, but he is just a person who loves [***]." ”
Song Meiling took a closer look at Liu Yimin and said, "Look at you, in order to fight, you don't care about anything, and no one cares if your clothes are torn." As he spoke, he stepped forward and looked through the holes in Liu Yimin's shirt with his hand.
Liu Yimin was embarrassed, his face was red like a monkey's buttocks, he was sweating, and he was at a loss.
Song Meiling laughed coquettishly and said, "I can't imagine that the general who made the devil frightened would blush!" ”
Cai Zhong frowned on the side, and wanted to have a seizure. Luo Ronghuan coughed and said, "Mrs. Jiang, please sit down and talk." We are all soldiers, and it's normal for our clothes to be torn. Please rest assured that Commander Liu's lover has received an order and is rushing to the front. When she comes, she can take care of Master Liu's life. ”
Song Meiling turned around and glanced at Luo Ronghuan, then sat down, and said in a loving tone: "Master Liu, you are so young and have a bright future. The people of the country have infinite high hopes for you and expect you to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. He said that he must have hated you so much that he would die quickly. I hope you will take care of yourself for our war of resistance. When your wife comes, please tell her that work is important, and taking care of you is even more important. If she is too busy with work to leave, you can have a female assistant who will take care of your daily life. When I came, the chairman of the committee repeatedly explained this meaning. ”
Liu Yimin hurriedly said: "Chairman Xie and his wife are concerned, I am so young and in good health, and I dare not worry about the trivial matters of life. Then he changed the topic and asked his wife what she thought of Taiyuan and whether the afternoon trip went well.
Cai Zhong was no longer willing to let Song Meiling talk to Liu Yimin anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward to report on Madame Jiang's visit to the field hospital to comfort the wounded and the urban area to comfort the victims. After the report, Cai Zhong then said that Mrs. Jiang was tired all day and would return to Nanjing tomorrow, and asked the division commander to report as soon as possible, so as not to affect Mrs. Jiang to go back to rest.
Cai Zhong's last words obviously meant that he was in a hurry to send off the guests, and Song Meiling, who listened to it, frowned. Liu Yimin had already relieved himself at this time, so he got off the donkey down the slope and took advantage of the situation and said: "Mrs. Jiang, now that the Anti-Japanese War has just begun, and our difficult days in the future are still ahead, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if I can say no?" ”
Song Meiling said with a smile: "Say it, I'll listen!" ”
Only then did Liu Yimin say: "The war between China and Yuben is a decisive battle related to the fate of the two countries. On the surface, it is said that the industry is developed and the war potential is profound, but in reality this is not the case. Although it has a good industrial base, a high level of education among its citizens, and advanced military equipment, it has a fatal weakness, that is, it has no resources. If I can cut off the supply lines of oil, steel, and rubber, then I will soon surrender automatically. At present, the largest importer of oil and steel is the United States. At present, the attitude of the United States toward the Sino-war is to remain neutral, and this is actually the greatest injustice to China, which has suffered aggression. The Americans shouted that they would remain neutral, but privately let them continue to import oil, steel, and other strategic materials from them, and then create murder weapons to hit us. It can be said that without the steel and oil of the United States, the planes and warships of the United States would not have been able to be built, and they would not have been able to operate if they were built. I think that Madame has a deep relationship with the United States, the majority of the American people have a sense of justice, and the current president, Mr. Roosevelt, is a great statesman with great strategic vision. Besides, I am extremely ambitious, and the current policy of the United States is in fact raising tigers. I wonder if my wife will discuss with the chairman of the committee after she goes back to visit the United States as soon as possible to meet with members of the US Senate and House of Representatives, and to meet President Roosevelt. I believe that with the charm and wisdom of Madame, the United States will be able to pull the United States from maintaining neutrality to supporting our war of resistance. ”
Song Meiling's eyes lit up as she listened, and her beautiful eyes kept sweeping around Liu Yimin's face.
Liu Yimin also said: "I know that the chairman of the NPC National Committee has sent people to contact the US political axe, but the results are not satisfactory. One reason for this is that the Americans do not feel the threat of war now, and their policies have not yet been adjusted. Another reason is that the people sent are not effective. If Madame goes in person, I believe it will be very rewarding. ”
After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he stood there silently, waiting for Song Meiling to digest what she said.
Song Meiling thought for a long time before she smiled and said to Liu Yimin: "I didn't expect you to have such a grand strategic vision, which is so good that I didn't expect it." Thank you, I'll seriously consider it. Hopefully, the trip to the United States will be as you might expect, and we will get what we deserve. ”
After speaking, she asked her entourage secretary Chen Yaoguang to pour tea, and Ren Ying hurriedly poured tea and brought it to her. Song Meiling took a sip and was about to open her mouth to speak again.
Where does Liu Yimin have time to gossip and chat with her, his mind has already run to the battlefield at this moment. He said: "Madam, tonight, there is another battle on the land of Shanxi, and our army will encircle and annihilate the enemy tonight to form the second brigade, and now the front line is about to start." At the same time, the 20th Division and the 109th Division of the Yue Army may also make big moves tonight, and General Wei of Jinnan is also making combat preparations. I'm too busy to talk to my wife. Tomorrow morning, please return to Nanjing early in the morning, and our political commissar Luo and Director Cai will see you off at the airport, and I will not go. Thank you Mrs. for coming to the Taiyuan front line to condole, please rest assured, we will fight with Yue himself to the end until we completely defeat Yue myself. In addition, if possible, please advise the chairman of the committee to give us more military funds, weapons and ammunition, because we are all fighting devils and we cannot favor one over the other. ”
Song Meiling listened to Liu Yimin's words, and was amused in her heart, this young division commander, while driving himself away, also asked for military expenses, which was simply funny. But who is Song Meiling? Naturally, he knew that he couldn't interfere with Liu Yimin's command of the battle at this moment, so he stood up and straightened his military uniform for Liu Yimin again, said that he would take care of himself, and then left.
After Ren Ying accompanied Song Meiling away, Cai Zhong stared at Liu Yimin's face.
Liu Yimin touched his face with his hand, but he didn't feel anything wrong, so he asked Cai Zhong what he was looking at.
Cai Zhong said hatefully: "I want to use a knife to cut a few knives in your face to make you ugly and save you trouble all day long." ”
Luo Ronghuan also sighed.
Liu Yimin thought about it, these two guys thought about it again, and thought of Song Meiling's method of pretending to be intimate and winning people's hearts. He smiled and said, "What do you think?" Song Meiling is an American student, and she likes Western culture, so it's good if she doesn't hug me. Didn't you see that I didn't even shake her hand? She is the first lady and can't care too much about her subordinates. If any of the subordinates were unsettled because of her concern and affectionate actions, they would not be far from death. ”
Cai Zhong then asked: "What you said is true?" ”
Liu Yimin said: "If you go to see David, they will understand the behavior of hugging and kissing their foreheads when they see people, which is all Western etiquette." I heard that when Chairman Chiang fought the civil war, he won over those miscellaneous generals by directly giving money, houses, cars, and women, and Mrs. Chiang was far worse than her husband. If Song Meiling can have a good impression of us people, then she will not be called Song Meiling, she is to help her husband consolidate his dominance, otherwise, people like her would have sneered at us a long time ago. In her eyes, I was a vicious red bandit. It's just that now it's anti-Japanese and needs us to fight devils, so she came so far to comfort us, and when she talked to me, she was as if she was a family. In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that it is all for you to see. ”
Luo Ronghuan let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad that the division commander can be so sober!" However, this Mrs. Jiang had better leave early and send her away early tomorrow morning. In addition, Lao Cai, you draft a report to the Central Committee, transfer Comrade Tang Xingying's Muslim tutor to be the deputy political commissar of the Logistics Headquarters, and ask her to take her children and parents to Taiyuan immediately. His father can temporarily work in the logistics headquarters, and her mother can work in Lingkun's education committee. ”
Cai Zhong nodded in agreement, sat down and began to draft the report.
Liu Yimin looked at the two old guys, smiled helplessly, and said: "Just let Xiao Tang and the children come, the old people will stay in Xi'an, they are very satisfied with their work, don't toss." Transfer Comrade Lin Yueqin over, she is about to give birth, follow the main force, we can rest assured. ”
Luo Ronghuan thought about it, his wife was alone in Xi'an, and it was strange to be heartfelt, so he didn't say anything.
Seeing that the political commissar no longer spoke, Liu Yimin wanted to call Feng Dafei and order him to let David and them set off at 5 o'clock in the morning tomorrow to carry out the task of bombing the Tianjin Yujun Airport, and select students who were familiar with English and cooperated well with David and others to randomly serve as navigators, shooters, and bombardiers. Be sure to tell David that Tianjin is far away, and he will come back after completing the mission, and he must not change the flight range without permission, so as not to be intercepted by enemy fighters.
Then, Liu Yimin sent a telegram to ask Zhang Hongtao about the strength of the enemy's attack on Niangziguan in the afternoon and whether Zhao Shan's Eighth Brigade had arrived.
He also established a power station with Zeng Zhongsheng and Liu, asking them to report on the location and progress of the troops.
Just when Liu Yimin was sending electricity, the two divisions of Itagaki Seishiro had crossed the boundary of Huozhou, attacked Linfen, and met the fire with the stagnant enemy troops of the Jin Sui army.
Yan Xishan's Second Theater Command was planned to be stationed in Linfen. When he was about to arrive in Linfen, he received a call from Liu Yimin and knew that Liu Yimin had recovered Taiyuan. Before the festive energy passed, he was worried about Liu Yimin's request to send troops to pursue the Itagaki troops. Therefore, Yan Xishan was not even in the mood to send a telegram back to Liu Yimin. In the afternoon, he received a telegram from the headquarters of the 18th Group Army, judging that Itagaki might attack Linfen and Yuncheng in the south, and asked him to make plans as soon as possible. Soon, Zhu De and Peng Dehuai of the Eighteenth Group Army forwarded Liu Yimin's telegram, which analyzed more thoroughly and the intelligence was more accurate. Yan Xishan panicked at this time, and hurriedly called Yang Aiyuan, who was in charge of the military in southern Jin, and the result of the discussion was to let the Eighth Route Army organize small troops to resist layer by layer, and the main force of the Jin Sui Army avoided the enemy's edge and left the empty city of Linfen to the enemy. All counties and townships were mobilized, and the masses were immediately evacuated, and the walls were cleared, so that the little devils who were said to be dogs starved to death in Shanxi. At the same time, Yan Xishan asked Wei Lihuang to lead his troops to quickly withdraw to Zhongtiao Mountain to set up defenses to prevent the army from continuing to attack south and west after occupying Linfen Yuncheng. The principle is that the army can be allowed to attack to the east, but the army cannot be allowed to attack to the west and south.
In order to ensure the safety of the front line at Zhongtiao Mountain and Tongguan, after Chiang Kai-shek received a telegram from the 18th Group Army, the Ministry of National Defense quickly formulated an operational plan and urgently dispatched Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army, which had been resting in Ankang and had repeatedly asked for help, to rush to Zhongtiao Mountain for reinforcements and be under the command of the Second Theater. The Shaanxi Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe Garrison Division, the Security Division, and the remaining troops of the 18th Group Army were ordered to concentrate on the front line of Tongguan and the Yellow River, and strictly prevent the army from jumping over the wall and attacking the rear. He also ordered all divisions of the 18th Group Army to cooperate with friendly forces, block and harass the enemy along the way, and constantly launch attacks on the enemy, so as to gain time for the deployment of the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line.
Of course, Yan Xishan's telegram asking the Eighth Route Army to block the lagging enemy and cover the transfer of the Jin Sui Army was very humble and polite, and he fully explained the fact that the Jin Sui Army continued to reorganize after the war, and asked the Eighth Route Army to attack for the sake of the friendly forces that also belonged to the resistance against the Japanese. Otherwise, it would be impossible to avoid the attack of the Yue army in the current situation of the Jin Sui army.
Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army never negotiated the price on the issue of resistance, and what Yan Xishan said was indeed the truth, so the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army telegraphed and ordered the brigades of the Reading Division in southern Jinnan to quickly go to the battlefield to guerrilla, block attacks, delay the enemy, and cover the transfer of friendly troops.
In fact, Itagaki was purely risky this time, and he went overboard with arrogance. As soon as his vanguard unit exchanged fire with the [***] team, it was found that they were all small troops, and they withdrew as soon as they blocked the attack, and they did not love to fight, and they implemented the tactics of blocking at various levels. Although this method of warfare could not resist the large forces of the Chinese army, it was very effective in gaining time.
At the same time that the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army were actively blocking the Itagaki group, Major General Shinohara, the commander of the 15th Brigade on the Shotai Line, finally waited for Itagaki to send a telegram.
Itagaki said in a telegram that he had led the 20th Division and the 10th and 9th Divisions south to capture Linfen and Yuncheng, and that he would quickly withdraw to Hebei and join the troops of the First Army without having to stick to the Zhengtai Line if he wanted to form the 15th Brigade.
After reading the telegram, Major General Seiichiro Shinohara, scolded Baga, the old bastard Itagaki disobeyed the order of General Terauchi Shouichi, and did not lead the main force to attack Niangzi Pass, but went south alone to establish his military exploits.
After scolding, Shinohara Seiichiro relayed the contents of Itagaki's telegram to General Toshiichi Terauchi while deploying a retreat.
This deployment retreated, and Major General Seiichiro Shinohara, found that his troops were encircled by the main forces of Shina. In the afternoon, Guang was busy rushing from Pingding to attack Niangzi Pass, so he didn't think about what to do if Niangzi Pass couldn't be taken. It's good now, there are a lot of corpses left on the west side of Niangzi Pass, not to mention, and they are surrounded by the main force of the branch that came from Yangquan.
Shinohara Seiichiro felt that the feng shui seemed to have changed in recent years, and he said in a dignified manner that the imperial army had come all the way from Yangquan and Pingding, but the Chinese army had caught up from Yangquan by train, car, and horseback. What's even more strange is that the army aviation units of the Imperial Army don't know where they are sleeping, not only do they not come to help in the war, but they also watch the personnel carriers swaggering on the railways and highways.
It's also strange, according to the experience of the Taiyuan Battle, there were troops of the First Army attacking in front of Niangzi Pass, and their own brigade copied the back road of the defenders. But the troops guarding the pass in front of them were not like this, not only did they not retreat, but they also had endless defensive tricks, such as mine explosions, cold shots, and explosives packets thrown with cannons, and a bag of explosives would blow up a group of imperial soldiers. There were also a lot of mortars, and as soon as the grenadiers of the Imperial Army were fired, they would immediately attract small mortars. Moreover, the casualties of the Imperial officers, gunners, and machine gunners were extremely high, as if they liked to fight these people exclusively.
Thinking about the fate of the 21st Brigade and the Reading Power guarding Taiyuan mixed into the 1st Brigade, Major General Seiichiro Shinohara, felt that he was probably transferred into a hateful trap, as if a rope was put around his neck, and the tighter and tighter he became, making himself gradually out of breath.
Just when Seiichiro Shinohara, he felt very uncomfortable, Liu Yimin received a telegram from two combat directions.
Zeng Zhongsheng reported that the 1st, 3rd, and 5th brigades had rushed to the vicinity of Niangzi Pass and surrounded the Yue army. It was planned to start shelling at 11 p.m., compress the encirclement and end the fighting before dawn.
Liu Jianli reported that the 2nd Brigade of Reading Li and the Dibujiagui unit were rushing to our army's preset position near Chashang Village, and that the encirclement and annihilation battle would begin in another hour's journey.
Zhang Hongtao reported that this afternoon, the army in front of Niangzi Pass had added another wing, and the artillery fire was very fierce. The army launched a series of strong attacks, and at its largest, three brigades attacked in waves. It once broke through the first-line and second-line positions, mobilized reserves, and concentrated firepower to regain the position. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the 15th Reading Force Mixed Brigade from the direction of Pingding, west of Niangzi Pass, rushed to the battlefield and engaged in the attack, and the troops fell into a two-sided battle. The casualties were heavy, 620 killed and 1,800 wounded. Fortunately, the enemy planes did not bomb, otherwise, the casualties would have been even greater. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Shan arrived with the Eighth Brigade, and the situation had improved. He had already let the 8th Brigade take on the frontal defense, and he led the 6th Brigade to prepare for the encirclement and annihilation of the 15th Brigade of the Reading Force.
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin's face sank. After thinking about it, he ordered Zeng Zhongsheng and Liu Jianli to control the firepower and use artillery fire to knock the enemy to the ground. Especially Zeng Zhongsheng, after Liu Yimin ordered him to eliminate the Reading Power Mixed Brigade Regiment, he concentrated artillery fire and retaliated against the Yue army in front of Niangzi Pass, so as to avenge the sacrificed comrades of the Sixth Brigade.
(To be continued)
