Dingguo rebelled against the army and sent Guizhou to Guizhou, and the war is coming!

On July 7, Wang Hengyue ignored Sun Wen's third telegram, occupied Chishui, and forced Xishui. After the second time, the striker took Loushan Pass directly.

Loushan Pass, also known as Taiping Pass, is located at the junction of Zunyi and Tongzi counties, is an important pass on the Sichuan-Guizhou traffic artery, and is known as the first danger in northern Guizhou.

Arranged in Loushan Pass were two regiments of the Gu Zhenglun Brigade of the Guizhou Army.

This is the first battle of the Sichuan army into Guizhou, and it will also be the most tragic battle!

On the 8th, the Dingguo rebel army, which had completed the preparations, began to storm Loushan Pass!

The artillery regiment began to violently suppress the enemy at Loushan Pass with powerful artillery fire, and after that, Ma Weizhong, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Dingguo Rebel Army, who was known for his bravery, took the lead and launched a strong attack on Loushan Pass!

In the former enemy headquarters, Wang Hengyue has always been paying attention to the battlefield situation.

At the beginning of the battle, it was concentrated on the Dodge Dog Bridge at the front of Loushan Pass.

More than a dozen machine guns were concentrated, and the rainstorm of bullets was desperately splashed on the enemy, and the soldiers of the Dingguo rebel army who were shouting and tsunami swept away under the cover of machine guns!

With just one charge, an outpost platoon of the Qianjun army on the Dog Hiding Bridge was completely wiped out!

Wang Hengyue was overjoyed, pointed to the battle flag with the four big characters of "Dingguo and Rebellion" on the Dog Hiding Bridge and asked: "Who is the striker, how brave is it!" ”

"Report to Heng Shuai, that is the second battalion of the 19th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the 4th Division, the battalion commander Liu Zhaocheng, who was originally a graduate of the crash course of the Yucheng General Ben School, under Xiong Kewu. After the failure of the Second Revolution, enter our department! ”

Wang Hengyue's heart skipped a beat, and then he said, "What about the commander of the Nineteenth Regiment?" Why not on the front line? ”

"Report to Heng Shuai, the head of the 19th Regiment Ji got malaria when he entered Guizhou and couldn't move."

"Malaria?" Wang Hengyue sneered: "Mention Liu Zhaocheng, the commander of the second battalion, as the commander of the 19th Regiment, and tell him to plant the flag of Ding[***] in Loushan Pass for me!" ”

"Yes!"

In that year, Liu Zhaocheng, the commander of the 19th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the 4th Division, was 25 years old!

With the loss of the Dodge Dog Bridge, Loushan Pass was directly exposed to the Ding[***] artillery fire!

The overwhelming shells poured down the mountains and seas to block Loushan to death. Under the heavy artillery bombardment of Ding[***], the Qianjun hid in the pass and couldn't move at all!

"How magnificent is such artillery fire!" Qian Guangjun, the commander of the Seventh Brigade, pointed ahead proudly and said: "Under the cover of such artillery fire, how can our army be unreasonable?" Order the whole brigade to prepare and go to Loushan Pass for dinner! ”

"Brigadier Commander!" Liu Zhaocheng, the commander of the 19th Regiment, who had just been promoted, stood up: "Although our army's artillery fire is fierce and the enemy is embarrassed, Loushan Pass is the first Xiongguan in Guizhou after all, and there are two full regiments of troops in it, and there are plenty of ammunition, and a forced attack will only increase casualties."

"Captain Liu." Qian Guangjun glanced at the young regiment commander who had just been promoted, the original regiment commander Ji was his cronies, but he was taken a position on the battlefield by a young man, which already made him very unhappy, and at this moment, he was even more unhappy when he saw Liu Zhaocheng opposing his opinion again:

"I know that you were promoted by Hengshuai in the line of fire, young man, it's good to have your own ideas, but don't be arrogant. Our Fourth Division has always been known for its bravery, and every time there is a big battle, the division commander will come to the front line in person to direct the battle. If a soldier doesn't fight and rush in battle, will he still shrink back? ”

Before Liu Zhaocheng could speak, Qian Guangjun waved his hand: "Wait until you sit in my position and then command the battle!" I ordered the 19th, 20th, and 21st regiments to be all thrown into battle, and the brigade headquarters guard battalion, communications battalion, and engineer battalion were also put into attack operations at the same time! Before dinner, I will move my brigade headquarters to Loushan Pass! ”

The tragic offensive and defensive battle of Loushan Pass has begun!

Qian Guangjun, known as the first fierce general of the Fourth Division, threw away all his capital in the first attack, and desperately launched a fierce attack towards Loushan Pass, intending to seize Xiongguan in one fell swoop in order to achieve success! But the development of the war situation was completely different from his judgment!

originally thought that under the cover of Ding[***]'s artillery fire, the Qian's army would already be unable to fight and would be defeated, but what I didn't expect was that Ding[***]'s offensive obstacles were far greater than imagined.

Those Qianjun didn't know what medicine they had taken, so the artillery attack stopped, and they immediately put up their weapons, screaming and cursing in their mouths, and fired wildly at the attackers!

Xia Dada, the deputy brigade commander of the Guizhou Army in charge, commanded his subordinates to carry boxes of ammunition and boxes of opium, waving his arms and howling constantly:

"Brothers, hit, hit! There are bullets, there are big smokes, give Lao Tzu his life to fight! Beat away the Sichuan barbarians, the whole army has a three-day holiday, the women are enough, and the tobacco and soil are enough! ”

The soldiers of the Qianjun army shouted "howl", stimulated by the woman and the big smoke, they showed several times more courage than usual, and stuck to the Xiongguan without dying!

The Seventh Brigade rushed three times in a row, and returned again and again without success, and before Xiongguan, there were corpses on the ground.

Qian Guangjun's eyes were red, the division commander was looking at him from behind, and Heng Shuai was also looking at him from behind! One charge took the Dog Hiding Bridge, but under the Loushan Pass, he suffered countless losses!

"Brigadier Commander"

A company commander who had retreated was helped in front of Qian Guangjun by his subordinates, covered with injuries, and reluctantly saluted.

Qian Guangjun looked at his subordinate with a gloomy face: "Why did you retreat first?" ”

"Brigadier, I"

Before he could finish speaking, the gunshots rang out, and the company commander fell in a pool of blood.

"Coward, coward!" Qian Guangjun put away his gun and looked around at his subordinates: "I don't need cowards in my seventh brigade!" The reason why we can't fight so far is not because of how brave the enemy is, but because we are too cowardly! I order, all regiments, battalions, and company commanders will charge ahead, attack, and then give Lao Tzu to attack! ”

Everything fell into Wang Hengyue's eyes, and he frowned: "What is the Seventh Brigade doing?" Are you joking with the lives of your brethren? ”

"Heng Shuai!" Ma Weizhong was full of confidence: "Qian Guangjun is the first fierce general of my subordinates, he has already patted his chest with me, he will definitely move his brigade headquarters to Loushan Pass before dark, please"

"Nonsense!" Wang Hengyue was a little annoyed: "Do you fight by patting your chest? See for yourself! ”

Ma Weizhong raised the binoculars, and what he saw shocked him.

The brothers of the Seventh Brigade rushed fiercely and resolutely in their determination to attack, and officers at all levels rushed to the front and launched repeated attacks on Loushan Pass without fear of death.

However, the firepower in the pass was too fierce, and the terrain was too favorable for the defenders. After only a short period of effort, almost all of the striker companies fell in front of Xiongguan.

"Victory can be achieved by fighting with bravery, Lao Tzu is the first to rush forward!" Wang Hengyue snatched the telescope from Ma Weizhong's hand: "Withdraw, take it all down, and reorganize the attack!" ”

I thought for a while: "Call me Qian Guangjun and the newly promoted regiment leader Liu Zhaocheng!" ”

When Qian Guangjun appeared in front of Wang Hengyue, he was a little nervous. His troops attacked so many times in a row, but they couldn't attack it at all, and the arrogance of having dinner in Loushan Pass became a laughing stock.

Who would have thought that Wang Hengyue didn't look at him at all, but just called Liu Zhaocheng in front of him: "You say, can Loushan Pass be defeated?" ”

"Yes! But that's not the way it works! Liu Zhaocheng's answer did not hesitate at all.

"Tell me about it."

"Our army is elite and has powerful weapons, but it is difficult for us to give full play to these advantages in Loushan Pass, the enemy is defending in danger, and there are enough bullets, so they can make full use of the favorable terrain to shoot me." Liu Zhaocheng paused:

"Therefore it is absolutely not advisable to storm it!"

Wang Hengyue listened carefully there, waiting for him to finish: "Let you command, how to fight?" ”

"The whole brigade is divided into two parts." Liu Zhaocheng did not have the slightest fear: "One is still attacking head-on to attract enemy firepower, and the other is finding a way from the flank to the enemy's rear." Cut off the enemy's retreat and put on a posture of attacking Tongzi, and the Guizhou army will panic. Take this opportunity to concentrate all the artillery fire, bombardment fiercely, and attack from the front and rear, and the battle can be successful! ”

Wang Hengyue was silent, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly said, "You serve as the commander of the Seventh Brigade." ”

"What?" Ma Weizhong, Qian Guangjun, and Liu Zhaocheng called out together.

"You serve as the acting brigade commander of the 7th Brigade and command the whole brigade, and the 3rd Artillery Regiment is also under your command, and the 8th Brigade serves as an auxiliary attack, and everything is mainly to cooperate with the 7th Brigade." Wang Hengyue said lightly: "Brigade Commander Liu, I will definitely not lose the first battle of [***] out of Sichuan, take down Loushan Pass for me, and remove your two words of agent!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zhaocheng no longer hesitated, saluted, turned around and left.

Ma Weizhong and Qian Guang were dumbfounded.

This is unprecedented! A small battalion commander was promoted two levels in a row and became a brigade commander in one day!

Qian Guangjun looked at Ma Weizhong with a face full of grievances, and Ma Weizhong stiffened his scalp: "Heng Shuai, what about Qian Guangjun?" ”

Wang Hengyue glanced at Qian Guangjun: "Didn't you fight very fiercely?" Go and serve as the captain of the decisive death brigade, serve as the reserve force for the general attack on Loushan Pass, when will you be able to make an appearance, and when will you resume your position as brigade commander! ”

"Yes!" Qian Guangjun replied vigorously.

Seeing Qian Guangjun striding away, Wang Qinglu said with some concern: "Heng Shuai, Qian Guangjun fought bravely and is very loyal, it seems a little unfair to do this, right?" ”

"I know." Wang Hengyue nodded: "He can sit in the position of brigade commander, not by relationship, but by real fighting." However, this man's surname is irritable, arrogant when he wins, and angry with his subordinates when he encounters setbacks, not the material for being a brigade commander. I'm sure [***] I've been fighting all the way to now, more fierce generals, and less commanders who are good at using their brains. ”

Wang Qinglu nodded thoughtfully.

With a smile on the corner of Wang Hengyue's mouth, he pointed to the Loushan Pass in front of him:

"Huai Zhao, look at it, if I'm not wrong, Liu Zhaocheng will command the whole brigade to attack, at most by this time tomorrow, his battle flag can be planted on the gate!"
