Guan Ling got its name because of Guan Suo Ling, according to legend, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu of the Three Kingdoms, marched south, and the general Guan Suo was stationed here, won the hearts of the people, and the Venerable Master felt it, so he called this Ling Guan Suo Ling. And here, it is also a branch of Wumeng Mountain.

The independent division stationed in Guanling did not stay here for long. Early in the morning, many people in Guanling saw that the independent division that had rested in the city for a day drove along the Wumeng Mountains to Qianxi, which many people knew.

For the opening of the independent division, the people of Guanling, who saw the army entering the city for the first time, also felt the difference of this team. Compared with the Qianjun army that ruled here in the past, the independent division did not commit any offense against the people, which made the people feel very surprised.

It's just that compared to the people, because of the independent division settled in, they also gained a lot of benefits. The things they usually couldn't sell for money were also bought by the logistics staff of the independent division with the bright ocean, which really made them a lot of money.

As for those local tyrants and shoddy gentry and officials, they fell into blood mold because of the stationing of independent divisions. Some officials with bad deeds were even directly exemplified by the Red Army. The death of these people still made the people applaud.

What even makes He Zhengdao happy is that the recruits in the new corps, who are mainly ethnic minorities, have now reached the scale of more than 500 people in a battalion. Although these people are not of great use for the time being, they are familiar with the terrain and customs of Guizhou.

In addition, Qianxi itself is an area with a large number of ethnic minorities. This 'national battalion', which was named by He Zhengdao, did relieve the independent division of great burdens and troubles in cooperating with the reconnaissance company to act as a pioneer.

Yao Shengjun, who was in the Twin Castles before, felt that He Zhengdao was too polite to the Miao leader, and he really understood He Zhengdao's foresight of 'buying horse bones' with a little money.

With the soldiers of these ethnic minorities acting as guides and interpreters, the independent division can also replenish some supplies when passing through those ethnic minority gathering places, even if these materials cost money.

In the eyes of many people, after the independent division set off from Guanling, it went all the way to the territory of Qianxi. But what many people don't know is that when the independent division marches during the day, when it takes a short break in the middle, it will always intentionally 'leave behind' some people.

By the time they rested in the evening, the four infantry regiments of the Independent Division were under the command of He Zhengdao. But he secretly returned the same way and came to a valley more than thirty miles away from Guanling City.

This nameless valley is the ambush battlefield chosen by He Zhengdao. And those scouts who fell on the march during the day were to ensure that the news of the return of the main force of the independent division would not be transmitted by spies who might follow them.

Even though it took another half a day, the officers and men of the four main regiments dug trenches and concealed fortifications overnight. Even the artillery battalion also chose the artillery position, and waited until dawn when the tired officers and men had eaten and began to rest.

Many people walking in this valley path did not know that there was a large army lurking in this valley. After dawn, the logistics brigade and the new corps commanded by Yao Shengjun deliberately widened the distance between the troops.

Even according to He Zhengdao's requirements, under the banner of an independent division, he continued to advance towards Shuicheng. Many spies of the Central Army, when they did not dare to reconnoiter closely, also found it difficult to find that the number of independent divisions had become smaller.

They only knew that the independent division was speeding up its march, and it seemed that it was planning to advance into Qianxi and evade the encirclement and suppression of the Central Army with the help of the mountains and mountains of Qianxi. After all, it is also a recognized fact that the Red Army is good at guerrilla warfare.

However, in the eyes of the Central Army, the people in Qianxi are complicated and the land is barren, and it is not easy for the independent division to fight guerrilla warfare in Qianxi. The daily attrition of the army alone was enough to drag down the independent division, so that it had to compete with the people for profit.

It is this kind of thinking that makes the Central Army in Qianxi not deploy too many troops. When the Independent Division really advanced into Qianxi as they wished, the Central Army, which took over the new drum field, also went to the Bijie area to intercept it.

In this way, the independent division will be surrounded on all sides by the Central Army. In Xue Yue's words, this time the independent division could not escape. But in fact, Xue Yue still felt a little bottomless in his heart, worried that the independent division would slip under his nose.

Therefore, the 99th Division of the Central Army, which is closest to the Independent Division, was ordered to bite the Independent Division, and never let the Independent Division slip away. As for the 'cunning' of the Red Army's operations, Xue Yue undoubtedly has a personal experience.

At a time when the Central Army sent sentinels to keep an eye on the movements of the independent division. The officers and men of the 99th Division of the Central Army, who followed them and stationed in Guanling, felt that their buttocks were not yet hot, and they were urged by telegram to continue the pursuit, and the emotions of the officers and men can be imagined.

The 99th Division, which originally planned to rest in Guanling for a day, was also very annoyed in the face of the urging telegram sent by Xue Yue. But they all knew that the order to encircle and annihilate the independent division this time was personally issued by Chairman Chiang.

If anyone dares to drop the chain in this matter, the consequences can be imagined!

'MD, these Reds are really loaches, how can they run so fast?' Chasing, chasing, chasing, is to know urging. Send a telegram to Commander Xu to ask, where is their division now? ’

Worried that the pursuit was too hasty, and the commander of the 99th Division, who might encounter an ambush by the independent division, he still cautiously asked how far away the central division that participated in the pursuit with him was now.

Knowing that the 86th Division was following them, it was less than a day away from them, and the commander of the 99th Division also knew it. They who have caught this trailing pursuit mission are also difficult brothers and sisters with the 86th Division!

Send a telegram to Master Xu and ask them to speed up. We have to pass through too many dangerous places along the way. If we are an independent division, we will set up an ambush for us, but I am afraid that we will also suffer heavy losses.

If we bite the independent division at that time, but the 86th Division does not follow in time and misses the fighter, presumably Commander-in-Chief Xue will not give him good fruit to eat. In addition, notify the regiments to prepare to open, damn, keep chasing! ’

Even if he was a little reluctant, the division commander knew in his heart that he must persevere to the end when he took this order. Who told them to receive such an unlucky errand for the pursuit of the vanguard division in the first place!

As the officers and men of the 99th Division continued to set off, in just half a day, many people in the city felt that this unit was different from the one that left the Independent Division yesterday. In the face of these officers and soldiers who ate the overlord's meal, many restaurant owners in the city wanted to cry without tears.

It's just that every restaurant owner knows that they are the unlucky ones who are unlucky to reason with these soldiers with guns in their hands. Fortunately, these central officers and soldiers, who were accustomed to extortion, finally had to leave.

Just when many people were secretly praying in their hearts that this central army would be unlucky, the officers and men of the reconnaissance company lurking outside Guanling City timely sent the news of the 99th Division's deployment to the independent division headquarters, which had been resting for half a day and was in good spirits.

Looking at the information sent by the reconnaissance company, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "It seems that the enemy is very afraid of us slipping away!" This guy bites really hard. It's just that they should be exhausted all the way, right? ”

'Than walking, our Red Army can throw off the Central Army a few streets!' We're all mud-legged, and we're used to this kind of mountain road. These old soldiers, I'm afraid they have suffered a lot this time! However, this is also what they brought on themselves! ’

In Wang Tianlin's opinion, he and He Zhengdao were really a little worried, and the 99th Division, which was pursuing to Guanling, would continue to pursue them together after joining up with another main division of the Central Army.

But now it seems that Xue Yue seems to be very worried that the independent division will slip away. Even if I know that the 99th Division is very hard at the moment, I still strictly order the department that it must bite the independent division and not let the independent division run too far.

In response to this situation, He Zhengdao still put away his smile and said: "Order all regiments to enter the ambush position and wait for orders at any time." This time, I want to completely annihilate this 99th Division, and let the Central Army behind know that the consequences of being a follower are very serious.

After the battle began, the 4th Regiment was ordered to stop the retreat of the 99th Division at all costs. Speaking of which, since the establishment of our independent division, we have not really completely annihilated a single unit of the Central Army. This time, let's take the 99th Division! ”

Accompanied by orders to prepare for battle, down to the regiments. The regiments, which were lying in ambush in the valley, likewise began to check their weapons and prepare ammunition. Even the prisoners of the Qianjun who joined later knew that there was not much way in front of them.

Although this way, they have walked very hard. But they can all feel that being a soldier in an independent division is really different from being a soldier in the Guizhou army. At least what He Zhengdao said, he really did it.

Many prisoners of the Guizhou army and the Yunnan army, who had newly joined the independent division, had seen He Zhengdao with their own eyes, and often went to the various companies and camps to eat with the soldiers when the meal was served. This kind of unanimity of officers and soldiers really makes them admire.

Although it is a bit tiring, the food of the independent division three meals a day is still very guaranteed. Even in an ambush like today, the dry food they carry is enough to ensure that they will not go hungry.

Most importantly, for many prisoners who were accustomed to beating and scolding, they felt that after joining the independent division, they really felt that they were soldiers and individuals. This respect also allowed the captives to slowly integrate into the ranks.

Some prisoners who were unwilling to continue to be the head of the soldiers also hoped that they would be able to make meritorious contributions to the enemy in the next battle. In this way, maybe after this battle, many of them will have the opportunity to be a squad platoon leader or something.

This also means that as a soldier in the ranks of the Red Army, life seems to be rushing!
