Compared to the Lingzhan Middle Road Army in southern Sichuan, Blade's troops were undoubtedly more difficult. After all, without support from the rear, their logistical supplies need to be operated by themselves.

However, the region of Qinghai and Xinjiang is extremely short of resources, so the team led by Dao Feng now attacked Sichuan, in fact, without backup and supply.

If they want to get the Hainan palace to supply them, they need to cross the plateau and walk two or three thousand miles, which is basically impossible to complete during this time period.

Therefore, only after opening up Sichuan and joining up with Ling Zhan's mid-route army could the blade get logistics from the rear.

Of course, this force of the blade, once it is supplied from the large rear, its combat effectiveness will be several times greater.

"General Blade, the order to attack from the General Headquarters has arrived, and the prince has ordered us to launch an attack on western Sichuan on September 28, that is, tomorrow.

The General Headquarters asked us to adopt a quick battle and a quick solution in the western and northern Sichuan areas, and quickly march from western Sichuan, where the Qing army was the weakest.

Then, rendezvous with the army on the middle route, open up our logistics supply line as soon as possible, and work with the army on the middle route to quickly solve the Qing army in Sichuan.

After that, the commander-in-chief ordered us to march to Gansu based on Sichuan. Cheng Fangzhou, chief of staff of the Red Devil Special Operations Force, said.

Kawanishi, which is vast in front of the blade, is a little excited to think that it will soon be able to contact the big rear.

It has been four years since Blade was ordered to lead a thousand-strong force into Tibet.

Blade led his subordinates to form the Red Devil Special Operations Force in Qinghai, Tibet and Tibet. After hard work, it has expanded to such a scale as it is today.

The end of the course is not far away, the exam is cool, and the post is not to learn Yueyu

In the past few years, they have laid a solid foundation for Chen Zhong's national strategy.

The chief of staff beside Dao Fengyan said: "Chief of Staff Cheng, I think there should be no problem if we take western Sichuan within ten days!"

Even though the Qing army mobilized nearly 200,000 troops from Gansu and Shaanxi, their troops did not fight all year round, and their weapons and equipment were very backward.

Whether it is the Shaanxi Green Battalion Army or the strong Mongolian cavalry, although they have a large number of troops, their equipment is too primitive, and the cavalry that does not even have a rifle can be our opponent? ”

Of course, Blade knew that although the Qing court seemed to be very powerful, its weaponry was still an old-style shotgun.

Even, some of the Qing troops did not even have a machine gun in their ranks. Even in terms of the morale of the Qing army, it was much less than that of the Hainan army.

Among the millions of Qing troops, only the Sichuan New Army and the Praetorian Guard, which were nearly 200,000 or 300,000, were equipped with relatively good weapons and possessed a certain combat strength.

The rest of the armies, including the Mongol First Cavalry, which was once known for its bravery and fierceness, were mostly still equipped in the era of cold weapons, old-fashioned drills and tactics.

An opponent like this is really a very unequal contest in the face of a well-equipped and brand-new formally trained Hainan army.

Even the Qing army itself had already realized the situation in front of them, and some of their troops were even ready to surrender almost before the battle.

The land is far from secret, and the land is far from the fiefdom battle ball

After receiving Chen Zhong's order, Blade immediately gave the order to start attacking.

Before the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Red Devil Special Operations Force began to charge, the secret advance team that had infiltrated western Sichuan in advance received Blade's order to keep the grain depot and military supplies, and set fire to the arsenal in western Sichuan.

When the Qing army in western Sichuan learned of the explosion of the arsenal in the rear, they thought that the Hainan army had formed a front and rear attack behind them, and their positions were already in great confusion.

At this time, Blade gave the order to charge the cavalry brigade. At the same time, five machine-gun batteries were ordered, which carried out a storm on the cavalry units of the Mongols. Four hundred artillery pieces were ordered to carry out a fierce artillery bombardment of the positions of the new army in Sichuan.

After the fighting in western and northern Sichuan began, the fighting in Sichuan Province had entered a state of all-out war.

The Mongol cavalry in northern Sichuan, under the impact of the machine-gun formation organized by the blade, had lost their pride in galloping the steppe.

This brave Mongolian chariot, accompanied by the clatter of the Makqin machine gun, in the harsh autumn wind, only a touch of desolation of the setting sun remained.

These former mighty Mongolian horses, in a terrible howl, put an end to the glory of those once golden iron horses.

In the autumn dusk, western Sichuan has become a blood-red world, ruthlessly changing the time and space of history in the intersection of loneliness and glory.

The 1st Cavalry Brigade of Blade consisted of a pistol cavalry regiment and two rifle cavalry regiments.

The soldiers of the cavalry regiment, each of whom was armed with a combat knife, in addition to a gun.

According to the needs of the battle, the blade gave each cavalryman five bombs and explosives that they had made themselves.

After the land is far too cool Cork land is not technological

In this way, they can be equipped with bombs when charging, which greatly increases the combat effectiveness of the cavalry units.

After the four artillery regiments of the Blade Special Operations Force fiercely shelled the positions of the Qing army, the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Red Devil Squadron began to carry out the first round of assault on the Janissaries of the Qing court.

The 1st Cavalry Brigade was invincible everywhere it went, and the Qing army completely lost the will to resist under the repeated onslaught of the blade special operations troops, and they threw away their weapons and fled in a hurry.

Zhao Erxun, who was in command in Chengdu, was taken aback after receiving the battle reports from western Sichuan and northern Sichuan. He had long heard that there was a mysterious army from Hainan in the west, and the dragon could not see the end of the dragon.

Now, when he really appeared in front of him, his amazing combat power made him shudder.

With a strength of 150,000 troops, the Blade Army actually defeated more than 300,000 men and horses of the Qing Army, what kind of army can it be so strong?

The ship is far away, and the ghost is not a ghost, and the does not accept the master

Zhao Erxun immediately quickly organized the remnants of the soldiers who fled from western Sichuan to the vicinity of Chengdu and made a timely rest.

He redistributed these remnants of the soldiers to the guns of the new army, built fortifications on the outskirts of Chengdu, and dug deep trenches. The battle to defend Chengdu was launched.

After nearly a week of fierce fighting, Blade's troops occupied most of western and northern Sichuan.

They did not quickly advance to the Hanzhong area, but, after receiving an order from Chen Zhong, they rested and replenished on the spot.

The reason for Chen Zhong's arrangement was that he was worried that the Qing garrisons in Gansu and Shaanxi would suddenly advance southward, so that Dao Feng would fall into a situation where he would be attacked by the enemy on his back and there was a possibility that a lone army would go deep without logistical supplies.

Therefore, Chen Zhong ordered the blade to rest on the spot, wait for the rendezvous with Ling Zhan's army in the middle, and then continue to maneuver north, preparing to attack the area of Gansu and Shaanxi.
