It is said that at the later campaign review meeting, the initial defensive battle of the Red 91st Division in the Ruixian Campaign was a very controversial stage. It was precisely because of the brave and tenacious style of the Red 91st Division that it withstood the onslaught of enemy troops from all walks of life at the most critical moment, created a prerequisite for the friendly army to completely annihilate Liu Mingchuan's troops, and thus greatly shortened the process of achieving a complete victory in the entire campaign.

But there are also many people who think that Yu Tingzhang is not brave and steady, but stable and not brave enough. The reason is very simple, since you, Yu Tingzhang, have already judged, and also arranged your tired group in the northwest two directions where Liu Yuezhao will not go, in order to get the fastest recovery of the group. Especially the final development of the battle, it just verified that Liu Yuezhao never dared to break through the defense outside the West Gate, and when the South Gate was the most tight, didn't you Yu Tingzhang still temporarily mobilize the first regiment or even part of the second regiment to participate in the battle. That's weird, why didn't you put your reserves into Lao Yaling when the Lao Ya Ridge Resistance Battle was the hardest, or put your reserves into Lao Ya Ling, and use a regiment and a temporary battle reserve as a battle reserve? Or is it more simply to transfer one part of the first regiment to directly support the third regiment, and only deploy suspicious soldiers outside the west gate?

Of course, the origin of the latter opinion probably comes from the heavy losses of the three regiments in the defensive phase. The seven companies of the 3rd Regiment of the 91st Red Division who participated in the defensive battle of Lao Yaling, together with the detachments under the regiment, suffered more than half of the casualties, which directly led to the fact that in the subsequent battles, it was difficult for the 3rd Regiment to have a good performance. It is difficult to say that the generals at all levels from the three regiments have no complaints in their hearts.

However, things on the battlefield are ever-changing, and neither of them may or may not be absolute truth, let alone a perfect battle. There is only one truth on the battlefield, and that is that any local interests must be unconditionally subordinated to the interests of the whole.

What Yu Tingzhang was worried about really happened.

After repeated visits, Liu Yuezhao began to find the figures of the Taiping Red Army that were busy going back and forth on Lao Yaling, and there were few Taiping Red Army figures that appeared from time to time. After repeated planning and calculations in his heart, he finally made a bold decision. It seems that Liu Mingchuan has reached the side of the ridge, but he has encountered the stubborn resistance of the Taiping Red Army, and I am afraid that he will not be able to break through for a while. Especially when he saw that outside the south gate was still as stable as Mount Tai at this time, the Red Army was still as stable as Mount Tai, the banner was not chaotic, the people were not panicked, and they were just blindly digging one ditch after another, he was a little more determined, and he could no longer wait for Liu Mingchuan to appear in the city like this, and he wanted to fight out, kill out, and take Liu Mingchuan into the city.

To be honest, Liu Yuezhao was too afraid of the ditches dug by the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. Liu Yuezhao has been familiar with the role and power of these ditches dug by the Red Army of the Celestial Dynasty in his military career for several years, and he still has some experience. It was a wall that cut him off from the rest of the world, and it was like a rope around his neck, and finally he could no longer breathe.

"Division commander, the Qing army is out of the city!"

In the sudden rumbling of cannons, in the temporary command post that could be seen as a small awning, Yu Tingzhang raised the binoculars in his hand. Two miles away, smoke billowed from the city, and the flames of shells from their chests were in a patch. Under the cover of artillery fire, a stream of loyal rescuers rushed across the drawbridge and roared out. He put down his binoculars, stepped on the stone that was supposed to be a table, leaned forward slightly, and looked directly at the defensive position of the First Special Service Battalion with a grim face.

At this moment, the position of the special service battalion is being tested by the roaring artillery fire of loyalty and righteousness. Jiang Yunxiang and his special battalion forced their way here, and after taking over the position of the Second Regiment, they never stopped. They kept digging trenches and the communication ditches connecting the front and rear trenches, and many officers and men were so tired that they could fall asleep. Although after being reawakened, the officers and soldiers will have a shy smile on their mud monkey-like faces, and they will grit their teeth and dig down. But now after all, there is a bloody battle between you and me! The original more than 400 officers and soldiers of the special service battalion, after the battle of Fenglingdu to encircle and annihilate Huang Chunxi, the remaining can barely reach 300, plus such poverty, can they still show their due fighting spirit? Yu Tingzhang couldn't help but worry. The spy battalion was his only trump card against Liu Yuezhao, otherwise he wouldn't have used them so fiercely. If there is even the slightest mistake in the secret service camp here, then he is ......

To say that Jiang Yunxiang and his officers and soldiers are really tired. Before the artillery fire at the head of Ruixian County started, in the position they had built, except for some of the guards of the second company in front, who were still keeping their eyes open and vigilantly paying attention to the movement in front, including Jiang Yunxiang, all the officers and soldiers were confused as soon as their buttocks touched the ground.

Wang Guitian, the acting commander of the second company, who was lying on his stomach on the trench, his neck was almost as soft as a noodle, and his head was involuntarily knocking like a kowtow worm, and he seemed to hear some strange sound in a hazy way. He couldn't help but be smart, and quickly supported his chin with both hands. In an instant, it was as if he had been stabbed, and his spirit suddenly rose. "Battalion commander, it's time for work!" He hurriedly mentioned Jiang Yunxiang, who was sitting at his feet, with his back against the mud wall of the trench, tilting his head and still snoring.

What Wang Guitian saw was the city gate that was opening, and the suspension bridge that creaked down. However, his shout with excitement was immediately drowned out by the booming and smashing of the head and face. And this artillery fire, more infectious and summoning than his shouting, not only woke up all the officers and soldiers in the trenches, but also drove away the sleepiness and fatigue of the officers and soldiers.

After the eldest brother's order, Liu Yueshu, who was the third standard commander, did not say a word, and immediately ordered Li Jiafu, the gang commander, to personally lead a team of men and horses to kill the suspension bridge outside the south gate. At the same time, Liu Yueshu began to gather some of the men and horses temporarily transferred from the east, west, and north directions, plus the remaining three teams of men and horses in Nancheng, as well as the subordinate soldiers supported by his eldest brother. He wanted to force a breakthrough through the defensive line of the Taiping Red Army in front of him after Li Jiafu's tentative offensive regardless of success or failure.

As soon as the sound of the cannon stopped, Yu Tingzhang was satisfied to see that when the loyal and righteous rescuers who rushed out lined up several neat battle columns, and before they entered the effective range of their guns, the guns of the special service battalion started first. And the loyal rescue, who was forced to fight back regardless of helplessness, also began to shoot loudly.

The first official contact did not seem to have much suspense. Li Jiafu, who had no chance to get close to the Red Army defense line of the Celestial Empire, and had not even tasted the grenades of the special agent battalion, retreated back into the city after discarding the corpses of more than a dozen of his subordinates.

The artillery fire from the top of the city once again came to the positions of the special service battalion.

Yu Tingzhang understands that Liu Yuezhao is going to prepare a lot of money. With a wave of his hand, he gave an order to the commander of the guard battalion, who had been holding his strength behind him, "Enter the position!" "This is the unit he is ready to throw into the counterattack. After all, the special service battalion is the top of his heart, and he can no longer ask such a hard-working unit to fight the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, and destroy the essence of this unit for no reason.

When it came out, the opponent did not have the support of artillery, and Li Jiafu and Liu Yueshu all appeared one after another. This time, they were quite well prepared, and the front and rear teams lined up in an orderly manner, alternating cover, like the back wave pushing the front wave, sweeping in.
