Fan Shisheng, who has a temper, is angry!

After receiving the promise of Zhang Hongza of the 44th Army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Fan Shisheng poured out all the 7,000 soldiers and assembled them in Jingzhou in only ten hours. He opened the closed door of the arsenal, took out all the brand-new light and heavy machine guns and all the ammunition that he had been reluctant to use for more than half a month, and immediately headed south with 500 pack horses and war horses, and rose up to pursue Zhang Ben's Fourth Division, which had already driven to Cili to rest. The soldiers of the Yunnan army were bitter to be angry with the enemy, and they kindly gave way but in exchange for the shame of revenge, even if they were mud people, they couldn't stand this bird spirit.

An Yi in Yichang City was very busy, and the smooth expansion of the Shizhen Department in Qianxi did not make him relaxed, but waited more nervously for the reaction of Yunnan Longyun and Guiyang Mao Guangxiang's Department, and made suggestions to the Shizhen Department through telegrams, always reminding Shi Zhen not to be blinded by the victory in front of him, and not sure that Mao Guangxiang and Long Yun, who were once enemies, would join hands for their own interests.

Fortunately, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek's appointment was issued in time, and Mao Guangxiang finally became the chairman of Guizhou Province in name only, but seeing the rapid expansion of the Shizhen Division, and the Central Committee entrusted with the important task of separating Qianxi, Li Chao was robbed of the number of the 43rd Army before it was completely eliminated, Mao Guangxiang and his subordinate Wenwu finally saw the seriousness of the problem, and attacked the remnants of Li Chao in southern Qiannan more violently, hoping to end the battle as soon as possible and free up their hands to deal with the grim situation of the division of east and west.

The battle in Qianxi has not yet been dealt with, and Zhang Ben's rebellion has made An Yi, who has calmed down the anger of the people in Yichang by thunderous means, nervous, and before he can come up with a proper way to deal with it, Wu Shang's 52nd Division suddenly fell apart, and after Wu Shang, who had lost face, said goodbye gloomily, he led the only remaining guard regiment to return to his hometown in Hunan, and the 52nd Division existed in name only, An Yi could only telegraph this bad news to the Central Military Commission and Commander-in-Chief Jiang, and asked for punishment.

Fan Shisheng, who had just returned to Jingzhou, sent three telegrams to An Yi in succession within an hour, in addition to an angry complaint that he was eager to ask for help, demanding that the camp concentrate all the troops and deal a devastating blow to Zhang Ben, who betrayed the revolution and slaughtered his colleagues. An Yi immediately telegraphed to Fan Shisheng: Xingying and Fan Shisheng called the central government at the same time to complain, express their indignation, and be ready to pursue at any time!

In less than two hours, the orders of Commander-in-Chief Chiang arrived in the hands of He Jian, An Yi, Zhang Hongji and Fan Shisheng at the same time, ordering An Yi to fully assist Fan Shisheng's troops in pursuit; ordered Zhang Hongza to make every effort to prevent the Fourth Division from moving south, and contract with the friendly troops Fan Shisheng and He Jian to encircle and disarm the Fourth Division; Order An Yi to immediately get in touch with He Jian and command Zhang Hongza and Fan Shisheng's troops to coordinate the attack!

At this time, the land of China was surging, Yu Zuopai and Li Mingrui, who had just become the brains of Guangxi Province for a few days, suddenly telegraphed the whole country, held high the banner of opposing Chiang, and made Chiang Kai-shek, who was anxious about the imminent war in the Central Plains, even worse, while repeatedly calling to appease Yu Zuopai and Li Mingrui, asking them not to be fooled, as long as they wake up and repent in time, the central government will not blame the past, and continue to appoint two people to govern Guangxi, while secretly ordering Guangdong Chen Jitang to take office as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army again, attack Guangxi from the east, and form a strategic deterrent.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek knew very well in his heart. Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaofang and others, who fled abroad and hid in a small corner of Hanoi, Vietnam, sighed and sighed, will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and will definitely use the excuse of ** to return to Guangxi to rerecruit the old department, so that the salted fish will be reborn, and the tail will not fall off.

In particular, the Red Army, which had been running through Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong for several years, repeatedly made great successes with outnumbered enemies, adopted flexible and effective combat methods to defeat the Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, and other armies that had been attacking and suppressing again and again.

"Division, Yidu emergency telegram: More than 2,500 people from the Helong Department turned south, and have reached the area of Longwang Cave, thirty kilometers north of Cili, and there is a tendency to continue southward and intelligence staff Shi Pufang still calls An Yi the division seat as he did in the independent division before.

"Report: General Zhang Hongza called, more than 800 people of the Sangzhi Red Army suddenly appeared in Huchong, 28 kilometers northwest of Cili City, and the direction of the advance was preliminarily judged to be Cili, General Zhang asked if the plan of action was changed?" Wei Yihang, deputy chief of the telecommunications section, came to report urgently.

An Yi slowly stood up, walked a few steps and suddenly turned back: "Call General Zhang Hongza: Immediately order the 12th Regiment of the 3rd Division of Cili to withdraw from Cili, retreat to Jinglong Bridge in the south and wait for the changes, and send Cili to Zhang Sheng, while closely monitoring the troops from all directions." Focusing on monitoring the direction of Cili, it is more prudent to teach the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions to change their original blocking plans, and to adopt the second set of operational plans.

Wei Yihang drafted a telegram and handed it to An Yi for signature, and quickly returned to the confidential room to report.

An Yi turned to the map, pondered carefully, and browled to see Shi Pufang walking towards the side door, frowning. After thinking about it, he shouted loudly: "Spectrum Fang? ”

"To".

Shi Pufang immediately stopped, saw An Yi kept looking at the map, and took a deep breath.

Strode to An Yi's side: "Master, what do you command?."

An Yi's eyes were deep, and he pointed to the west of Changde on the map: "You think about it, will He Jian, as the chairman of Hunan Province, follow the orders of the central government at this time and send troops to cut off the line from Ande to Nanzui?" Although he has no friendship with Zhang Ben, he has never held grudges, will he open up the net and give Zhang Ben a way out of life because of this? ”

Shi Pufang thought about it for a long time and said in a low voice: "There is still quite a relationship between Zhang Ben and He Jian. When the Ninghan confrontation was in place, weren't the two major military trump cards in the hands of the Wuhan National Government Tang Shengzhi and Zhang Shengbu? He Jian is a number of generals under Tang Shengzhi, if the two have nothing to do with each other, no one will believe it! Besides, didn't you also let Zhang Ben live? Otherwise, with the sudden blow of nearly 40,000 brothers from the three divisions of General Zhang Hongza. It was in a familiar area with a dense network of interlaced rivers, and with the cooperation of the gunboats of the Water Garrison Brigade of the Doujiang River, where could Zhang have fled? Shizao, why don't you take the opportunity to eat the Fourth Division in one bite to show your strength, can't you let go of the old friendship with Huang Zhenqiu, Zhu Rihui and General Wu Qiwei? ”

"Alas! Spectrum Fang, although you said it quite comprehensively, and you also took into account "Liu Yi", but you did not fully take into account the details, as the saying goes, the cannon is too thin to die!

Zhang Ben is the "Iron Army, the decorator of the ornament." You just have to think about "the Zhu Mao Red Army, which was named after the Fourth Army after the division, and the Red Army of Western Hunan and Hubei led by He Huzi was also named after the Fourth Army, so you can know how great the influence of the Iron Army was in the past."

Now although the Fourth Division under the command of Zhang Ben has changed several people, the glory of the past has long been yesterday's yellow flower, but the combat effectiveness is still there, and there is a saying that the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and it will bite people if it is desperate! Don't look at General Zhang Hongza's offensive strength of three divisions, but the third division, which was formed by local troops, has only completed its net, and its combat effectiveness and fighting style have yet to be tested, and the first and second instructors are all recruits, and the second division is composed of recruits from Henan and Shaanxi, although it has gone through nearly three months of training for recruits. But I'm afraid it will be difficult to adapt to the swampy areas of the water network in the south, and it is estimated that the march will become a big problem, let alone pull up to fight.

Throw this around, from the analysis of the arrangement of troops, General Zhang Hongza's meaning is already very clear, as long as you take a bite to get a little benefit, there is no need to risk breaking your muscles and bones to fight to the death, morale and confidence building is very important to a force, if the new army formed by the network is defeated in the first battle, it is difficult to remove the shadow in the hearts of the soldiers, even if you are determined to attack with all your might, I am afraid that it will be a miserable victory if you win, if you lose, let alone lose, you will not be paid!

Zhang Hongza's predecessor's cautious and cautious attitude of knowing each other and knowing oneself is very worthy of our learning, you will always have to go out to lead troops in the future, and it is impossible to nest by my side as a staff officer for a lifetime, so you have to learn from other people's strengths now, you look at it again and think about it, if you are in command of the three-catty small division, how should you fight," An Yi analyzed in detail.

"Thank you, Master!"

Shi Pufang nodded gratefully, looking at the huge military map with full attention, but his heart was full of mixed feelings and anxiety, he was very grateful to An Yi for his trust and promotion, and thanks to An Yi for his selfless teaching and enlightenment for a long time, allowing him to grow from a small battalion staff officer to the level of making several division battle plans today. Many times, Shi Pufang can't help but treat An Yi as his own brother, but the difference in their beliefs is like an invisible huge chasm, between the two, many times under the touch, Shi Pufang almost couldn't help but confess his identity to An Yi, but the strict organizational discipline and the important mission he shouldered have long been engraved in his mind, always reminding him to strengthen his beliefs, adhere to principles, not to be emotional, and not to forget the heavy responsibility he shoulders. Therefore, Shi Pufang's heart was very painful, and he silently warned himself to be strong to bear all this, even if he had a mental breakdown in the next second. Also grit your teeth and hold on until the end of this second.

At this moment, Shi Pufang stared blankly at Cili on the map, his heart was so anxious, he didn't know what An Yi meant by suddenly taking the Red Army out to open his eyes for Zhang Ben, was it a hint to himself?

At the same time, he was worried about his Commander He, Director Zhou Yiqun, Chief of Staff Duan and all the brothers of the Red Second Army, due to the sudden appearance of the Red Army, An Yi temporarily changed the battle plan and withdrew the defenders of the 12th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 44th Army of Cili, which meant that Cili was surrendered to the 4th Division of Zhang Ben, who was exhausted from continuous marching, and Fan Shisheng, who was angrily pursuing, and the sudden appearance of the 2nd Red Army to scuffle with each other. So that the yellow finch in the back of Zhang Hong's miscellaneous fishermen benefited.

In this upcoming battle, without the coordinated attack of Zhang Hongza's three divisions, not only the future of more than 7,000 people in Fan Shisheng's division is worrying, but the brothers of the Red Second Army, who are still unaware of the changes and plan to take advantage of the chaos to raid, are also very likely to encounter a powerful counterattack by the Fourth Division. Thus bringing huge losses, such a critical prospect. How can you not let Shi Pu's heart burn?

Shi Pufang quietly turned his head, now that An Yi was no longer by his side, he quickly glanced at more than a dozen colleagues who were working nervously in the command room, he gritted his teeth and strode out of the main gate, and saw An Yi walking in the camp with adjutant Shen Fengdao and division commander Yin Jinan from a distance, talking happily from time to time. Apparently something was being discussed. Shi Pufang's mind calmed down for a while, and he raised his wrist to see that it was time to get off work. He strode up to the guard battalion commander who was on standby, said a few words with a relaxed smile, and soon got the key to the standby vehicle and got into the car. With a calm expression, he slowly drove out of the camp gate, went around the wharf, stopped and talked a few words with the commander of the military police battalion, asked about military affairs, and left again.

Ten minutes later, Shi Pufang, who had gone around several major causes, finally came to the grocery store on the main street and stopped the car. Generously drilled out and greeted the young and beautiful proprietress loudly: "The proprietress has a good business!" Ha ha! ”

Hearing Shi Pufang's voice, the proprietress was slightly taken aback, and a solemn look flashed on her white and flawless face.

She quickly adjusted her mentality, turned to Shi Pufang and smiled, and handed the two bottles of wine to the customer next to her. Fill a little girl's bottle with half a pound of oil and pick up a towel to wipe her hands after looking for money. While smiling diligently, he said, "Chief Shi is a distinguished guest!" Hehe, what is there to come on, Chief Shi?

"Give me two packs of Yunnan cigarettes, this cigarette is good, addicted to smoking Shi Pufang smiled and took out the money and handed it over, and the corner of his eye glanced around vigilantly.

The proprietress took the money and said in a low voice: "Pu Fang, you have already violated discipline twice, and you have to accept punishment!" ”

"Deputy Secretary Qin, the military situation is urgent, I really can't take care of it so much, just punish it! Please report to Director Zhou immediately, stop attacking Cili, the 44th Army has taken the initiative to retreat, and our more than 3,000 people can't beat Zhang Ben's 20,000 people. There will be big problems! Shi Pufang took the cigarette and laughed loudly: "Thank you!" Haha, let's go! ”

The proprietress smiled and watched Shi Pufang drive away, quickly glanced at the movement on the street, and apologized to tell the customers who came in to wait for a while. When he entered the inner room, he called out his old father to help sell the goods, but he hurried up to the attic in the backyard and quickly moved the announcer from the dusty cabinet in the corner of the house.

Diagonally opposite the grocery store, a ragged and dirty-faced beggar took one last look at the old man selling goods in the store, slowly stood up, held the tattered mat, and walked with difficulty to the east alley. When he landed, he had already entered the barracks of the 16th Division Special Brigade.

Chapter 520 How many beats can life have

Watch the night of the bandits! After a few clearances, the army was wiped out, and soon the upper part of the river, the Yichang Government Office and the Western Hubei Garrison Command jointly announced the crime of Yi Nianguan bandits. Strongly praise Zhang Ben and Fan Shisheng for their good command. The bandits were able to suppress the bandits, and sternly warned the gangsters of all walks of life not to be enemies of the central government, otherwise they would fall into the same tragic fate as the bandits.

Zhang Ben and Fan Shisheng were inexplicable after getting the news, and none of them came forward to receive the credit after checking all the departments under their command, but the two of them didn't take this incident too seriously. I didn't expect that after this incident, the two departments would provoke a fierce attack from the Western Hubei Divine Soldiers.

As for An Yi, who was satisfied, he naturally wouldn't be silent and was busy with Yichang's relief affairs. He immediately quietly went south, went to Qiancheng according to Chiang Kai-shek's secret instructions, and personally commanded the military operations of Shizhen's department. The empty forces and sporadic battles in Qianxi suddenly changed.

"Shh

Zhang Hongza waved his hand, signaling the surrounding generals to be quiet, and then looked at An Yi with interest behind the stone hill thirty meters in front of him. The direction of the crowd is downwind. I faintly smelled the smell of beasts sent by the mountain wind, and the surrounding mountains and ravines were silent, only the vast forest Tao and the trees and weeds around me were swaying in the wind.

"Smack"

The crisp sound of gunfire mixed with the mournful roar of the muntjac instantly resounded throughout the valley, and on the high ridge more than 100 meters above An Yi's oblique, a 30-person Xiangzhu with a length of more than one meter was shot in the head, fell down, rolled and planted a cliff more than ten meters high, and fell in the middle of the mountainside grass below.

Zhang Hongza and Shi Zhen and others with binoculars cheered in unison, and the three young majors excitedly picked up their rifles and rushed to their prey. After a while, the red fur covered with white spots and the body temperature of the incense deer were lifted in front of the generals, and the generals saw the bullet holes oozing blood on the head of the incense deer, and praised An Yi's marksmanship in unison.

Deputy Army Commander Sha Bin told everyone: "When I was in the independent division, only the instructor Li Fuqiang's marksmanship in the whole division was comparable to that of the division, and the younger brother was also under the guidance of Brother Li and the division, and the shooting textbook that our army has used for two years was compiled by the division himself. ”

The generals were quite surprised when they heard this, and they all asked why Na Bin was so majestic Zhuoqing earlier? An Yi snorted and corrected:

"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the fact that I have been busy with government affairs and rarely practiced recently, my younger brother's marksmanship has regressed a lot. If the brothers had gathered together for another contest. I'm afraid I won't be in the top 10. I'm afraid that the deputy commander won't be able to enter the top three, this gun is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! ”

"No, Master, I haven't been left behind in gun practice, except for you and Brother Li, who else can win the younger brother in the past two years?" Di Bin was slightly surprised, and looked at An Yi in confusion.

Major Liu Yifang, who had just gone to carry back the prey, heard Deng Bin's question and replied with a smile:

"Sir, have you forgotten Xiao Jin? At the beginning, you took him on a mission, and Xiao Jin's junior brother is now the first sharpshooter of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he has performed marksmanship to visiting envoys and military attaches of various countries many times. Whether it's a rifle or a pistol, this guy has a lot of fun, and every time he performs, he keeps the audience screaming. Addicted. I heard that the military academy planned to keep him as a lieutenant colonel instructor, but he was unwilling, and when the younger brother and others graduated on the 15th of last month, Xiao Jin was still so envious that he couldn't wait to graduate and return to the army as soon as possible. ”

Shi Zhen thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "Brother An, is little An Jin your younger brother?" How old is Bu Zi, and now he is a lieutenant colonel? Is it better to enter the Whampoa Military Academy to be promoted? ”

"Brother Shi misunderstood!"

The machine shook his head with a smile, and patiently explained: "Although my apprentice Xiao Jin is young, he has made outstanding achievements in battle, and he has been rewarded fifteen times, and after enlisting in the army, there are no less than 100 generals and captains of the Zhilu Army and the Anhui Army who were killed under his gun, and one of them is a lieutenant general. Six people are major generals, and there are countless captains, haha! Tell me about it. Can such merit not be promoted? When he entered the seventh phase of Whampoa in March this year, he had already accumulated merit and was promoted to colonel, and in the military academy, he frequently won face for the group of bosses and the Central Army in front of foreigners and friendly troops in the north and south, and it was normal for him to be promoted to the first rank. Others don't have such good luck and strength as him, he is a special case of Whampoa.

You see, Yifang, Changhe, and Chang Gung entered the model battalion in the early days of the Northern Expedition, and they were still dolls in the mountainous areas of northern Hunan who didn't know anything at that time, and they grew up after the Northern Expedition in the past two years, and participated in almost every battle from the model battalion to the independent division, and their military ranks were gradually promoted. Although the military rank is already very high compared with many Huangpu students, it is still a cut short of Xiao Jin, who only joined the army after conquering Nanjing. ”

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and there was another heated discussion, and the generals and schools who were originally admired but not convinced by An Yi's independent division also had a deeper understanding. A small gunner has taken out a lieutenant general and six major generals, and this strength is there. Who can not be convinced? Who dares to be unconvinced Shi Zhen shook his head and laughed at himself, patted Liu Yifang's shoulder and praised a few words, then pulled out the sharp dagger, walked in front of the prey in two steps and squatted down, turned over the body of the fragrant deer, and quickly cut off the piece of skin and flesh around the navel, cleaned it up and put it in front of everyone:

"Yifang, I'll teach you how to take incense. When you go to the northwest of Guizhou in the future, you will have time to hunt and hunt", such a large sachet is rare, and it would be better if it was caught in late autumn. Take it back to dry and keep it, the roe meat is grilled tonight and it is just right to go with the wine, haha! ”

The sun is falling in the west, and a group of generals carry a rich prey. Hao Hao rode back to the military headquarters, and several pointed soldiers were already waiting there, taking the recommendation and going to be busy.

Two hours later, the nave of the original wide temple was bright, and the generals sitting around the eight-meter-long and two-meter-wide long table were full of wine and meat, and began to involve the main topic, and the heavy velvet curtain hanging in front of the huge screen in the north was opened, and the large map of the border area of Hunan, Guizhou and Sichuan came into everyone's eyes.

Zhang Cunzhuang, chief of staff of the 44th Army, politely pulled Shi Zhen's chief of staff Wang Pinli, and walked to the front of the map together, and the two humbled each other a few words, and finally Zhang Cunzhuang took the baton handed by the staff officer and began to report the current situation loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, as of yesterday afternoon, Li Chaobu has completely occupied Guiyang and the surrounding six counties. As well as Changshun, Huishui, Duyun, Dushan and other places in southern Qiannan, only Loujiang and Zhenyuan in eastern Qiandong and Tongren in the northeast still have fighting students, but the scale is much smaller.

Chuan Mingqian was defeated and died, but the remnants of his command were still in Tongren and Zunyi, and Bi Naxiao Jiujie resisted, and from time to time carried out surprise attacks on Li Chaobu stationed in the county seat with a small force, and these battles were born under the nose of our army.

Long Yun's two divisions suddenly retreated to Qujing the day before yesterday, and even a brigade from Anshun hurried west. At present, we still do not know the reason for its sudden withdrawal, and based on our understanding and summary of the various forces in Yunnan over the past year, it is estimated that it is very likely that Lu Han and others, who were dissatisfied with Long Yun, suddenly launched a mutiny when Long Yun's main force left Yunnan, otherwise Long Yun would not have gone so quickly, let alone give up Panxian and the surrounding areas that had been fought hard by more than 2,000 soldiers, and the specific situation would be clarified within two days. ”

Zhang Cunzhuang paused for a moment, waited for everyone to digest the news a little, and then analyzed: "Based on the current situation and the urgent secret order from Commander-in-Chief Jiang to the border area of Hunan and Guizhou, we unanimously believe that the time is ripe for the action of Brother Shi Zhen's subordinates, and we must seize the current fleeting favorable opportunity to immediately telegraph the whole country to support the central leadership. Relying on the righteousness of eliminating the war in Guizhou and restoring the people's livelihood, when the 19th Regiment of the remnants of Zhou Xicheng captured Bijie, he adopted the tactics of surprise attack and encirclement in one fell swoop to take Bijie, and then moved south to forcibly occupy Anshun, which was abandoned by the Yunnan army.

After the battle of Li Chaobu, there are only about 30,000 men and horses left, and most of the troops are now deployed in the front line of Qiandong, Qiannan and Guiyang, after dozens of days of hard fighting, they have already exhausted, and the remnants of Zhou Xicheng are still bargaining, and they cannot form combat effectiveness in the short term. ”

All the generals echoed in unison, extremely excited. At Zhang Cunzhuang's request, Wang Pinli proposed to everyone the battle plan of his department:

"Our first division has been occupying Puyi Town, an important town at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, in the early hours of yesterday morning, the commander of the first division, Mo Xiaolin, led three regiments under his command to successfully bypass Bijie, and occupied Panxian County, which was not garrisoned by a single soldier in one fell swoop. The 2nd Division and the headquarters are both in Xishui County, and the 9th Regiment of the 2nd Division is still holding Gulin, and we plan to attack Wang Liu and take Zhang Xinfang's regiment of Zhou Xicheng's old department in Bijie within three days, so as to connect the entire northwest of Guizhou.

At present, our unit is facing two practical difficulties: First, the total strength of our unit is 15,000, including 13,500 combat troops and 1,500 logistics and organs.

The second difficulty of the regiment is the issue of political influence after the occupation of Bijie and Panxian, which implores General An and Zhang Junzuo to give tactical guidance. Complete. ”

Shi Zhen whispered to Zhang Hongza and An Yi beside him, saying that the weapons and ammunition were enough to arm 25,000 people, but due to the wars in Sichuan in the north and Guizhou in the east and Guizhou in the south, many young people were requisitioned, and the two green forest armed forces of Xintoucheng were more than 1,000 good and bad, and they were still in the whole card, and in a short period of time, I am afraid there is no better way except to absorb the remnants of Zhou Xicheng.

Zhang Hongza, who had already made a bamboo in his chest, asked with a smile: "Brother Shi, how many troops do you think we need to do well?" ”

"At least three thousand, if you can have two more catties on hand. It will be easy to handle when the regiment comes, and it will basically be able to meet the current goal of employing troops. Shi Zhen replied without hesitation, obviously thinking about it for a long time.

Zhang Hong nodded clearly: "Then, I will give Brother Shi a new brigade of 6,000 people." Is Brother Shi enough? ”

Shi Zhen was overjoyed: "Great! Big brother, little brother is inexplicably grateful, and I can't repay it! ”

Zhang Hongza waved his hand and said disapprehantly: "Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Anxian's nephew." He also quietly sent tens of thousands of long and short guns and 200 light and heavy machine guns captured in the battle of Gui two months ago to our Xiangxi Arsenal for repair, half of which were equipped with the recruits of the three regiments recruited at the beginning of the year.

According to An Xian's nephew's suggestion and our department's discussion and agreement, it was decided to hand over Zhong Zhiyuan and his three-pound regiment to the elder brother, in addition, the one hundred and fifty non-commissioned officers of your department who had been scraped in the teaching regiment of our military department for half a year, the elder brother could also take all the non-commissioned officers of your department this time. The elder brother can put them in the integrated team as the company platoon commander, so that he can completely control the surrender soldiers and slowly transform them into an elite army. ”

An Yi held Shi Zhen's outstretched hand, and without waiting for him to say words of thanks, he immediately said: "Brother Shi, junior brother has a suggestion, if Brother Shi is unwilling to cause too many casualties in this operation. As far as possible, Bijie Luo Qingtian can be besieged but not attacked. Led Zhong Zhiyuan's brigade to raid Huairen and Jinsha counties. Cut off the remnants of Zhou Xicheng in Bijie and the remnants of the Zunyi area in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, the 2,000 remnants of Luo Qingtian in Bijie City will definitely shake the hearts of the army, and then let the first division commander Mo Xiaolin, who is also a brother of Yunnan Jiangwutang, go to meet him, and promise him to be the current deputy division commander? As long as Luo Qingtian and his brothers who have survived the 2,000 battles are brought in, and with a little rectification, Bijie will be solid!

In this way, Panxian County in the south will be connected with Bijie, just let the rapidly growing Brother Mo Xiaolin guard it, and Brother Shi can easily command the second division of the supplemented Panjin Yue Brother to enter Huairen, and at the same time recruit troops and horses, he can covet Zunyi as much as possible, not to mention the exponential expansion of the territory. There are more than 20,000 soldiers who have experienced the war and raised their eyebrows, who will dare to despise my brother in the future? ”

Zhang Hongza didn't wait for the extremely happy Shi Zhen to finish digesting, and then added: "One more, as soon as Brother Shi's side starts, I will let Cun Zhuang lead the first division out, take advantage of Li Chao's inability to take care of Northeast Qian, first take down the three counties along the river, Xiushan, and Songtao on our side, and then block the two gates of Li Chao out of Guizhou and into Hunan first, presumably he will understand the relationship between our brothers, haha!"

How many beats can you have in life? Our brothers are getting older and older year by year, and fighting once is a time, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again! ”

Shi Zhen stood up excitedly, respectfully bowed deeply to Zhang Hongza and An Yi, An Yi hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to support him, and the generals in the hall laughed heartily, all of them smiled, and they were full of confidence.
