"The first and second battalions of the 19th Regiment are looking for a path, under the unified command of Rao Guohua, the commander of the first battalion, to attack on the flanks, once they go around behind the enemy, they will separate a battalion to make a threatening Tongzi situation!"

"Yes!"

"The 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 19th Regiment are attached to the engineer battalion, and they are also advancing to the flank and rear at the same time!"

"Yes!"

"The 20th Regiment and the 21st Regiment spread out in echelon formation, advancing towards the pass, and attacking head-on!"

"Yes!"

"Death Brigade!" Liu Zhaocheng glanced at his old commander Qian Guangjun: "Act as the general reserve of the whole brigade, once the gap is opened in the front, the whole brigade will attack!" ”

"Yes!" Although his heart was full of reluctance, Qian Guangjun still responded loudly.

"The whole brigade is ready, once the 19th Regiment arrives at the designated position, the enemy in the pass is in chaos, the 3rd Artillery Regiment concentrates all the artillery, spares no effort to bombard, and the whole brigade will attack in due course! There is no advance or retreat! I only hold the regiment commander accountable, the regiment commander accountable to the battalion commander, and the battalion commander accountable to the company commander! ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Ma Weizhong walked over with a gloomy face: "Brigade Commander Liu, the Eighth Brigade has completed preparations, and I will personally command the Eighth Brigade and serve as an auxiliary attack mission!" ”

"Thank you, Commander!"

Ma Weizhong looked at the officers: "Decree the military order of the commander-in-chief [***]." This attack on Loushan Pass is the first battle of our Sichuan army out of Sichuan, and the battle will be won, and the attack will be won! Those who disobey military orders, kill! Those who disturb the morale of the army, kill! Retreaters, kill! Leak military information, kill! Those who delay military aircraft, kill! If you can't enter, kill! Kill the undead! ”

"The battle must be won, the attack must be won! Those who disobey military orders, kill! Those who disturb the morale of the army, kill! Retreaters, kill! Leak military information, kill! Those who delay military aircraft, kill! If you can't enter, kill! Kill the undead! All the officers stepped forward and answered loudly.

"First battalion commander Rao Guohua, let's go!"

"Yes!"

That night, the soldiers of the two battalions, under the command of Rao Guohua, quietly set out.

This was the first battle commanded by the newly promoted brigade commander Liu Zhaocheng, and it was also the most important battle in his life, and one of the youngest and most talented generals in the [***] was born from this battle

"Keep up, keep up!"

One by one, the voices came down.

Rao Guohua was excited, the first batch of people to graduate from the Rong County Army Academy were the slowest to rise. Wang Mingzhang became the regiment commander, Xu Guozhang was the deputy regiment commander, and only he was still a battalion commander.

That Liu Zhaocheng was only a battalion commander like himself before the war started today, but who would have thought that he would be promoted two levels in a row to become a brigade commander.

If you don't grasp it anymore, I'm afraid that I will be pulled farther and farther away

The road was extremely difficult, but exciting, and there was no enemy to be seen, and perhaps the enemy's entire attention had been focused on the front of the battlefield at this time.

"Battalion commander, the third company has passed!"

"Okay, all companies hurry up and pass, tell the third and fourth battalions, follow us closely!"

One by one, under the cover of darkness, soldiers shuttled away like long snakes

The sun crept out.

Throughout the night, Ding [***] did not launch any more attacks, and it seemed that the previous daytime attack had made Ding [***] lose hope of capturing Loushan Pass.

The soldiers of the Qianjun army yawned, were too addicted to cigarettes, and looked listlessly outside the pass.

There seemed to be a build-up, as if a new offensive was about to begin.

Suddenly, there was a sound behind the gate!

The soldiers of the Qianjun listened sideways for a while, as if it were the sound of gunfire.

Then, the gunfire suddenly intensified, and the soldiers of the Qianjun army looked at each other, where did the gunshots come from?

And at this time, the cannon of Ding [***] opened fire violently without the defense of the Guizhou army!

The intensity and intensity of the shelling this time far exceeded that of yesterday.

Ding [***] didn't leave a back hand at all, and poured a large number of cannonballs into the pass.

The defenders of the pass were stunned, shells flew in everywhere, explosions everywhere. Densely packed and overwhelming, the artillery of [***] is almost going to completely destroy this place before they stop!

"What's going on? What's going on? Shada rushed in in his military uniform.

"The Sichuan army has begun to attack!"

"Fuck, hit so hard, don't you want to [***]?"

"Report, the Sichuan army went around behind us, and Tongzi was attacked!"

"What?"

This news shocked Xia Da and the officers around him.

"Report, there is a Sichuan army behind the pass!"

"Report, the Sichuan army also appeared on the right flank of Guan!"

It's messy, the Qianjun is in chaos!

Tongzi was attacked, and Loushan Pass was besieged on three sides! It's messed up, it's completely messed up!

The shells are still whistling and flying, layer upon layer, completely drowning Loushan Pass under the destruction of artillery fire. And the news that Loushan Pass was cut off quickly spread among the Guizhou army.

The back road is broken, the back road is truncated! Tongzi threw it again, it's over, it's all over!

The Qianjun is in chaos!

"Resist, resist!" Xia Da shouted frantically: "Take out all the bullets, take out all the big smoke!" Reward the brethren! Those who take a step back will be killed! ”

However, this trick no longer worked in the face of the chaotic Qianjun.

The artillery shells continued to bombard the pass, and the discouraged Qian's army quickly fell into confusion and fled everywhere, no matter how hard the officials cried.

Originally, if you really couldn't hold it, you could retreat to Tongzi, but now that the back road has been cut off, where else can you run?

Once faith and morale are lost, everything is different.

The cannonballs were still the same cannonballs, but at this time, the defenders in the pass sounded so terrifying.

The artillery fire of Ding[***] was concentrated and exploded towards the pass, and finally, the pass, which could no longer withstand such a dense artillery attack, was blown out of a big gap.

Immediately, the Ding[***] military flag fluttered all over the mountains.

Makqin heavy machine gun, imitation of Makqin's Sichuan-made "Republic of China four-year" heavy machine gun, Madsen light machine gun, Sichuan-made "Tyrannosaurus III" light machine gun, and roared at the same time.

Countless Ding[***] soldiers with the latest "Shu 1916 type" rifles rushed up densely under the cover of artillery fire and machine gun fire.

The gap can't be plugged anymore!

"Death squad, strike!"

"Yes!"

Qian Guangjun held a rifle tightly in his hand, looked at the brothers who had rushed forward intensively, and shouted: "Death squad, follow me!" ”

Ding [***] had already rushed into the pass, and Xia Da, who was at the end of his rope, personally shot two company commanders, appointed his cronies, and reorganized all his forces to fight back violently towards the pass.

Ding [***], the Qian army, at the pass, in the pass, in the pass, strangled together, for the final battle!

Qian Guangjun rushed up with his brothers from the death squad, as a brigade commander, he became the captain of the death squad, such a shame can only be eliminated with blood and military exploits!

A shot stabbed to death a rushing Qianjun, and Qian Guangjun shouted "howl": "Chong, rush, brothers, rush!" ”

With blood-red eyes, he rushed towards the densest concentration of enemies. Gun after bullet was pierced through gritted teeth, and his whole body was already stained red with the blood of the enemy.

He saw a soldier trapped in the middle of several enemies, screamed "whoosh", rushed up and stabbed one of them to death.

Standing back to back with the soldier, the bayonet stretched forward, and then quickly drawn, and another enemy fell in front of him.

"Brother, kill, kill, don't kill like Lao Tzu!"

Qian Guangjun didn't care about anything at all, at this time he was like a madman, with only enemies and his lost honor in his eyes.

You can die, but you can't lose the honor of a soldier!

The soldier was also encouraged by him, and as soon as he blocked the enemy's stab, he handed back the bayonet, and blood splattered all over him.

The soldier staggered forward, rolled over suddenly, and stabbed out with a tiger roar.

Two bayonets stabbed each other at the same time.

The enemy fell in a pool of blood, and the soldiers of the Nachuan Army were also stabbed.

Qian Guangjun stabbed the last enemy in front of him, and when he turned around, he saw the soldier stationed on his body with a rifle, and the blood in his chest could not stop flowing. He saluted Qian Guangjun with a military salute:

"Report, Shi Xiaomao, a private of the [***] death squad, will complete the mission!"

As he spoke, he fell straight down

Qian Guangjun silently glanced at the soldier, then raised his gun and let out a roar with all his strength:

"Dingguo rebels, rush!"

On 9 July, the rear and flanks of Loushan Pass were attacked at the same time, and the pass was blown open under the fierce artillery bombardment of Ding[***].

Liu Zhaocheng dispatched all the Seventh Brigade and broke into Loushan Pass in one fell swoop.

It was a battle, the two armies fought in Loushan Pass with white knives, hand-to-hand combat, and fought until the afternoon, when more and more Ding[***] rushed in, and the Guizhou army was defeated on all fronts.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the banner of "Dingguo and Rebellion" was planted on Loushan Pass!

In this battle, the two regiments of the Guizhou Army that were ordered to hold the Loushan Pass were almost completely annihilated, and the deputy brigade commander Xia Dacheng escaped with a few guards.

In just two days, Loushan Pass was lost to the enemy, so that Xia Da never dared to go back.

After that, Xia Da lost the news. Some people say that he was killed by the rebels, some say that he was killed by bandits, and others say that he later ran to Hong Kong to become a public servant. But who knows exactly where he went, and who cares if he lives or dies?

Wang Hengyue's leather boots stepped into Loushan Pass within the time he calculated.

He saw his newly promoted brigade commander Liu Zhaocheng walking towards him, and the young general didn't have much joy of victory on his face, but just saluted Wang Hengyue:

"Heng Shuai, my seventh brigade has captured Loushan Pass!"

Wang Hengyue replied with a salute: "Take your brigade as the vanguard and march towards Zunyi!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zhaocheng's answer was simple but powerful.

Loushan Pass fell into the hands of Ding[***], the Xiongguan in Guizhou that was most able to block the enemy, and it was only defended for less than two days under the command of the young general Liu Zhaocheng!

Loushan Pass was lost, and Zunyi was in danger.

Wang Hengyue saw Qian Guangjun sitting on the ground, injured in several places.

He walked in front of Qian Guangjun and only said one sentence:

"You're brave!"

"Thank you, Hengshuai!"

Qian Guangjun stood up straight.

"Go and be the chief of staff of the Fourth Division, remember, bravery alone cannot lead to victory."

"Yes, I know, you can't win a war by bravery alone!"
