The main force of the independent division, which was monitored by many enemy agents, suddenly began to move on the night when He Zhengdao arrived at Longyin and launched an operation. It's just that this action seems to make the encirclement and suppression army that received the news seem a little unclear.

In the early morning of the same day, the main force of the independent division began to continue its advance in the direction of Shuicheng. Looking at it like this, it seems that the destination of the independent division is still Shuicheng, which is controlled by the main force of the first division. But such a hard fight is not like the combat style of an independent division!

Just when Zhou Hunyuan, who received the news, felt very puzzled by the march of the independent division. The 2nd Regiment of the Independent Division, following the 1st Regiment but beginning to advance towards the hinterland of Qianxi, seemed to be a little different from the 1st Regiment's marching route.

In the afternoon, the third regiment of the independent division was even more unexpected, marching in the direction of the Yunnan-Guizhou border. In the entire Langdai area, only the four regiments of the independent division and the logistics troops remained, and there was still no sign of allocation.

The three main regiments marched in three directions, which really made Zhou Hun Yuan and Xue Yue confused, and they couldn't understand the deep meaning of such a three-way march as an independent division. But I know that one of them is the direction of the independent division's key breakthrough.

Soon, the 86th Division stationed in Guanling and the two divisions of the Gui Army that cooperated with the battle received an order from Xue Yue to let the main force of the 3rd Division march in the direction of Langdai. Strive to use dragnet-style oppressive tactics to compress the space for independent divisions to switch to battle.

Just as the independent division began to march on three routes, the fourth regiment and the logistics troops stationed in Lang Dai moved overnight. To the horror of many spies, when they were about to report the situation, they were arrested by the scouts of the Independent Division who blocked Lang Dai.

Any merchant who entered and left the Langdai area was immediately caught by the reconnaissance detachment that was secretly left behind when the three main regiments marched in. If it is found that the other party is a secret agent of the Central Army, it will naturally be executed as soon as possible.

If the people cannot be identified for the time being, the reconnaissance teams of the various ministries will also put these personnel into custody. As for when they will be released, it will depend on the next battle of the independent division and how it is fought.

As a result, the next day, Zhou Hunyuan and Xue Yue were shocked to find that the spies they sent to the Langdai area did not even send a single message. This means that they lost traces of their actions against the logistics units of the separate divisions.

Faced with this situation, Xue Yue immediately said: "Not good! The independent division is only afraid to run! ”

Xue Yue, who guessed this possibility, felt very helpless. Because, the three main regiments of the independent division do not seem to be advancing fast. So much so that they could not judge at all that the independent division intended to break through from that direction.

When Yao Shengjun led the New Fourth Regiment and the logistics troops to transfer at night, He Zhengdao had already commanded the reconnaissance battalion and surrounded the regiment with a battalion of the Central Army stationed in Longyin.

Looking at the machine guns set up in the playground, the officers and men of the central government who were driven out of the camp wisely chose to surrender. But to the battalion commander's surprise, what He Zhengdao asked him to do made him look very confused.

'Call your regimental commander and say that you are under attack by the Red Army partisans and ask for help!' If you dare to say one more word, I will let you see Hades at once! ’

'Yes! I'll do it! ’

Under the personal supervision of He Zhengdao, the battalion commander looked panicked and called the regiment commander stationed not far from Long Yin. He said in a somewhat frightened tone: "Tuanza, we are under attack, there is a night attack by the Red Army guerrillas, we can't stand it anymore!" ”

'What's going on?' To be clear, partisans? Are you sure it's a partisan? ’

'Tuanza, I can't see clearly! But the people who attack us are dressed in the garments of the people. However, the firepower is strong! We can't hold on anymore, please send troops to support us quickly! ’

Just after the battalion commander said this, He Zhengdao fired a shot at the roof, and at the same time hung up the battalion commander's phone. And this shot almost scared the commander of the central military battalion.

'Well done! For your sake, as long as you obey our safety, maybe I can give you a chance to live! ’

'Thank you, sir! I will be obedient and cooperative! ’

He Zhengdao, who returned to the barracks, ordered the reconnaissance battalion to start collecting supplies and booty, but he came outside the barracks. looked at a few Miao men and said, "Leaders, are you willing to accept the business I proposed!" ”

'Yes! However, how can you guarantee that after we help you, you will not be retaliated against by the Central Army? ’

'Chiefs, I can't really guarantee that. I just want to tell you that the Central Army probably doesn't have much to do with things here in the near future. Although you cooperate with me, you are more also fighting for the power of your own village.

I believe that as long as you are united, if the Central Army does not want this place to become a mess, they must respect your opinions. And with weapons, aren't you more confident in negotiating with the Central Army? ’

After capturing Longyin's garrison barracks, He Zhengdao asked Gao Lin to find the leaders of the Miao villages living in Longyin. It's still the same as when I was in the Twin Forts, and I use guns and supplies to recruit troops to cooperate with them.

Of course, in this kind of cooperation, He Zhengdao also hopes that these Miao people will fight against the Central Army in the follow-up independent division. Cooperate with the actions of the independent division, such as temporarily guarding these prisoners of the Central Army who cannot be taken away.

In this way, when the reinforcements of the Central Army failed to arrive at Longyin, He Zhengdao was able to lead the reconnaissance battalion to fight elsewhere. However, those Miao youths recruited were able to join the logistics force to help transport supplies.

With Gao Lin and these Miao soldiers in charge, He Zhengdao believes that these Miao soldiers will be more reliable than the prisoners of the Central Army who were temporarily recruited. And these leaders also seem to know the role of guns in their villages.

After some bargaining, He Zhengdao paid 500 rifles in exchange for more than 200 Miao youths and mules and horses raised by these tribes. From among the captives, more than 100 captives were selected, and He Zhengdao left Longyin overnight.

As for the surviving prisoners of the Central Army, looking at the armed defenders outside the barracks, they also did not dare to act rashly. In the barracks, the soldiers who were shot by the reconnaissance battalion told them that they would not end well if they dared to move.

He Zhengdao, who came out of Longyin, found a safe valley after walking out of Longyin's territory and ordered the troops to rest temporarily. At the same time, several reconnaissance teams were dispatched to reconnoiter the next town called Zhika.

According to the information obtained from last night's interrogation, the battalion of the Central Army stationed in Longyin belonged to the regimental headquarters in the small town of Zheka. According to the feedback from the reconnaissance team, one of the main battalions of the garrison card had already set out for Longyin early in the morning.

The remaining Central Army in Zheka also had only one battalion of troops. Even in the surrounding towns of Longyin, a battalion of main forces was mobilized to encircle and outflank. The reinforcements of Long Yin have far exceeded the reinforcements of one regiment.

Regarding this situation, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "It seems that the enemy has taken the bait!" They must have felt that the troops that attacked Longyin last night were the vanguard of our independent division, and the direction in which we wanted to break through was the Yunnan-Guizhou border.

The companies were ordered to take a break while we launched an attack on the card in the afternoon. This time, we took a strong approach. Let the logistics battalion, also join us in the attack sequence. But let them act as reserves, understand? ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Coupled with the young men recruited last night and the prisoners, the logistics platoon that came out has become a logistics battalion. The number of people in the reconnaissance battalion has reached the scale of nearly 1,000 people. I believe that the appearance of such a force in the card will also attract Zhou Hunyuan's vigilance.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, who had rested all morning, quickly launched an attack on Zhika after lunch. Hearing the sound of gunfire coming from outside the town, the Central Army stationed in the garrison immediately became panicked.

Looking at the nearly 1,000 attacking troops wearing Red Army uniforms, the commander of the Central Army stationed in the garrison card immediately reported the situation. Knowing that near the card, the shadow of thousands of Red Army troops appeared, and Zhou Hunyuan immediately realized that the Red Army was going to break through from the direction of Longchang.

According to the information they received, the 2nd Regiment of the Independent Division marched towards the western part of Qianxi, and the 1st Regiment of the Independent Division marched towards Shuicheng. Overnight, they disappeared from the sight of their spies. On the other hand, the 3rd Regiment of the Independent Division advanced in the direction of Zheka with a rapid march.

I feel that it is certain that the three-way operation of the independent division is more just to divert their attention. In fact, they wanted to break through from the direction of Longchang, because the troops there were very thin, and it was possible to successfully break through safely with a quick assault.

Under these circumstances, Zhou Hunyuan ordered the main force of the 1st Pu'an Division to be stationed and began to strengthen the defense of the towns on the Yunnan-Guizhou border. Even if he was personal, he personally led the main force of the first division from Shuicheng to urgently reinforce the direction of Longchang.

received Zhou Hunyuan personally led the main force and drove out of Water City. Wang Tianlin, who led the first regiment, also said with a smile: "It seems that the division commander's tactics have succeeded!" Ordered the first regiment to secretly march to the vicinity of Shuicheng, and ordered the second regiment to speed up and rush over. ”

'Yes, Chief of Staff! ’

In fact, in He Zhengdao's plan, the plan to seize Shuicheng and march into Qianxi has not changed. It's just that he doesn't want to go head-to-head with the Central Army, so he needs to mobilize Zhou Hunyuan's column guarding Yunnan and Guizhou.

Compared with other encirclement and suppression armies, only the main force of the three divisions commanded by Zhou Hunyuan needed to be dealt with in Yunnan and Guizhou. But with such a long line of defense, if the independent division wants to break through, it will not be a choice!
