knew that he needed to compete with the central army for time, but He Zhengdao knew even more that he had never thought about attacking Guiyang. While sweeping through the large and small towns around Guiyang, the number of independent divisions is also increasing rapidly.

Although He Zhengdao understands that such a large-scale expansion of the army is not a long-term solution. However, in the current situation, it is necessary to have sufficient troops to attract the attention of the Central Army and provide support for the main force of the Red Army to turn to the war.

After defeating the 103rd Division, He Zhengdao handed over the work of transforming the prisoners to Yao Shengjun. Even the task he gave to Yao Shengjun was to march the main force to the southwest of Guizhou first, and the main force of the first division was transferred in advance.

As for He Zhengdao, who led the reconnaissance company to follow the logistics regiment on the road, he still arrived outside Guiyang City as originally planned. To the shock of many people, this independent division of the Red Army, which was ahead of Sun Du, really blocked Guiyang.

Faced with the situation of encircling but not fighting, Chairman Chiang, who stayed in the city, was also so angry that he jumped to his feet. While asking where Sun Dubu had arrived, he urged the Central Army units that urgently returned to help Guiyang as soon as possible.

Regarding the thousands of troops outside Guiyang, Chairman Chiang also felt that this independent division of the Red Army was really too rampant. However, when the reconnaissance troops sent outside the city found that this independent division of the Red Army also had a mountain artillery battalion, Chairman Chiang was also a little worried.

After all, if you want to attack the city in these years, you can only rely on life if you don't have artillery. But what he didn't know was that Sun Dubu, who was in a hurry to catch up with Guiyang, was already under the supervision of the reconnaissance company of the independent division.

Knowing that this Yunnan army came to help was even equipped with a car, He Zhengdao also felt it. These cars must be taken down to deliver supplies for the Independent Division. With the car transportation, I believe that the independent division can also be transferred more quickly.

He Zhengdao, who had already formulated the tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, saw the information sent by the reconnaissance company, and said with a smile: "Order the artillery company of the logistics regiment to create some movement in Guiyang." Otherwise, Chairman Chiang would not be in a hurry! ”

He Zhengdao, who learned that Sun Du led the four Dian legions to rush to the rescue, finally concentrated all the three main regiments for use. After successive personnel replenishment, the strength of the three main regiments now has more than 2,000 people in four main battalions.

Now it is the main force of the logistics regiment that is surrounding Guiyang City. The rest of the siege troops, which were regarded as the Red Army, were more likely to be taken prisoners to siege the city. In Ho Zhengdao's words, if they wanted to join the Red Army, they had to accept the petition.

As long as they participate in this campaign to attack Guiyang, they will want to rebel against the water in the future, and they must also be careful of being punished by the central army. After all, the commander who is sitting in Guiyang at the moment is Chairman Jiang and not an ordinary person!

After receiving the telegram from He Zhengdao, Ma Xiaojun, the head of the logistics regiment, also looked a little excited and said: "I really didn't expect that I would also have the opportunity to attack Lao Jiang at such a close distance." The artillery company was ordered to conduct artillery test firing towards Guiyang.

Tell the bunnies to separate up for shelling. After firing two shells, they hurriedly moved their places. In this Guiyang City, there is an entire artillery regiment of the enemy! We must not be each other, we can't afford to lose! ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

The correspondent who heard Ma Xiaojun's order was also very excited. And he knew even more that after this battle was over, their logistics regiment would be officially reorganized into the new fourth regiment. In addition, the rest of the prisoners to be formed into a new regiment.

In addition, it is still in Xifeng and serves as part of the logistics force. Today's independent divisions, in terms of the number of soldiers, have exceeded 10,000. But after this battle is over, it is really unknown how much will be left in the end.

The artillery company of the logistics regiment, which was aiming at the main gate of Guiyang City, temporarily borrowed four mountain guns from the artillery battalion this time, and five people were responsible for each mountain gun. The artillery positions of the four mountain guns were not in the same place, but the location of the shelling was the main gate city wall of Guiyang.

The defenders of Guiyang, who were originally arranged outside the city, eventually withdrew into Guiyang City. Because, Chairman Chiang, who is already short of troops, still feels more secure by transferring these troops into the city!

As Ma Xiaojun's order was issued, the artillery commander in charge of firing the cannon said nervously: "This first cannonball must enter the city!" Remember, two shots were fired, the artillery was transferred immediately, all remembered? ”

'Don't worry! Platoon commander, we all remember! ’

When the first cannonball flew towards Guiyang City like a roar, the other three mountain guns laid nearby also fired the first cannonball at almost the same time. Four mountain cannonballs roared and all fell into the city of Guiyang.

The huge explosion of 'boom' made Chairman Jiang, who was staying in the camp, also shocked in his heart: "Niang Xipi, the Red Army has begun to attack the city?" With one division of his troops, he dared to attack Guiyang City? It's so arrogant! ”

But in fact, with the capture of Xifeng City by this independent division of the Red Army, the intelligence of the defeat of the 103rd Division was sent. Chairman Chiang knew that this independent division of the Red Army, which he had never heard of, was only an elite division-level unit of the main force of the Red Army.

And now they are trapped in the lonely city, and most of them can only rely on the radio to pick up and drop off the information outside. The main force of the Red Army marching into western Guizhou has already stirred up the entire southwestern region of Guizhou.

Everyone knows that it will take longer to wait for the reinforcements returning from the north shore to return. And the nearest Sun Dubu is currently nearly half a day away from Guiyang City!

It seems that this time is not long, but Chairman Jiang is very clear. Once the Red Army really breaks through the city, he will really be embarrassed and embarrassed at that time. For this reason, he also seemed a little worried when he heard the sound of artillery coming from the city.

On the contrary, Gu Zhutong, who accompanied him to Guiyang, said with relief at the right time: "Chairman, don't worry! With the strength of only one division of the Red Army, it is simply wishful thinking to capture Guiyang City.

In order not to panic the people in the city, I thought that our artillery regiment could carry out a counterattack. Judging by the frequency of the shelling, the number of their artillery seems to be small, and we only need to order the city defense troops to resolutely block it.

Just wait for the reinforcements led by Sun Du to arrive, and then it will be the time for us to encircle and annihilate them. A main division of the Red Army dared to attack the city so arrogantly, they were really too blind. ”

'Okay, then, it's up to you to command the defense of the city!' ’

As an army general and an old opponent of the Red Army, Chairman Chiang also felt that it might be more appropriate for Gu Zhutong to command the next battle. And Gu Zhutong understands that this is the time for him to perform.

With the sound of shelling outside the city from time to time, Gu Zhutong, who came to the headquarters, immediately ordered the artillery regiment in the city to return fire. It's just that when they opened fire, there was no one in sight in the place where they fired the cannon before.

The officers and men of the artillery company who had just been transferred to the new position also said with some stagnation: "Damn, fortunately, the transfer was fast." These white dog artillerymen are really TM rich! It's so rich to turn over the earth with so many shells! ”

If this is heard by the artillerymen in the city, it is estimated that they will vomit blood!

Just when Gu Zhutong felt that the Red Army's artillery seemed to be counterattacked by them. The four mountain guns of the new artillery position again launched an artillery bombardment into the city. Even if you miss the target, it can also make the people in the city panic.

In Ho's words, the role of these four guns is to create chaos. Hit two artillery pieces and change places, so that the artillery of the Central Army in the city could not lock the position of their artillery positions, so naturally they could not be destroyed.

The rest of the troops involved in the siege were mainly defending the city. Even in order to prevent the central army in the city from counterattacking, He Zhengdao also ordered them to set up a blocking position behind the feint troops.

As a result, the four mountain guns, as well as the mortar company attached to the logistics regiment, continued to strafe artillery shells at Guiyang City as if they were fighting guerrillas. Such an attack and harassment war also made Chairman Chiang in the city feel upset.

Even Gu Zhutong, who commanded the battle in the city, felt very confused. It stands to reason that the artillery regiment counterattacked quickly. But why, they just couldn't destroy the Red Army artillery positions outside the city?

Just when Gu Zhutong realized that this would not be the siege that the Red Army was accustomed to besieging and sending reinforcements. The Dian army led by Sun Du also arrived less than twenty kilometers outside the city of Guiyang. And here, it is precisely the location of the ambush circle of the independent division.

When formulating the battle plan, He Zhengdao took into account that the generals of the Central Army in the city, as long as they were not stupid. It should be known that if the independent division of the Red Army dared to do this, there must be some other plan.

Then, when they realized that the independent division might implement the siege tactics of reinforcements, Sun Du, who rushed to support urgently, was likely to rest at a distance from the outside of the city, and then adopt a steady approach to avoid being ambushed.

And the independent division of the moment set up an ambush position precisely in the place where Sun Du might think it was safe. If the siege tactics are not recognized, the Independent Division can also launch a surprise attack here.

All in all, looking at the convoy that suddenly stopped advancing, even He Zhengdao felt that the other party had not entered the best ambush circle, but he also resolutely ordered the attack to begin. Even if it could not be completely annihilated and this support army was defeated, the combat intention of the independent division would be realized.

At least He Zhengdao believes that the defenders of Guiyang in a short period of time will not dare to take the risk of going out of the city to rescue. After all, they would be worried that if they came out and Guiyang City was ended by the Red Army, the losses would be even greater!
