Since receiving the order personally sent by Chairman Chiang, Sun Du also knew that this was a rare opportunity. If this kind of action similar to 'King Qin's rescue' can be successful, Chairman Chiang will definitely not treat him badly in the future.

It was out of this joy that Sun Du, who hoped to gain the trust of Chairman Chiang, pulled out the troops before reporting to the titular commander Long Yun. But such a private mobilization of the army undoubtedly made Long Yun look very angry.

Even Long Yun knew in his heart that Sun Du wanted to play the hero of 'King Qin's rescue'. But after all, Sun Du was the general of the Dian army, and he didn't report to him, the direct commander, so he privately pulled the troops to save people, what kind of situation did he put him in?

If the Dian army clashed with the Central Army in the future, wouldn't it mean that Sun Du would also betray him Long Yun and hug Chairman Jiang's thigh? For such a general, I believe that the warlord will not dare to trust it anymore.

It's just that Sun Du, who is bent on becoming a hero of the 'rescue', will be very unhappy even if he thinks about Long Yun. But now that the Central Army occupies Guizhou, in the future, the entire southwest will only be surnamed Jiang, not surnamed 'Wang' and 'Long'.

Even Liu Xiang's troops of the Sichuan Army, in the face of the Central Army's large-scale march into the southwest, I am afraid that they will seem to be more than capable and not enough, right? This is also the reason why the originally opposing Dian Army and the Sichuan Army suddenly joined hands to deal with the Red Army.

Sun Du, who didn't dare to rest too long along the way, also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his arrival in Guiyang. It's just that when he learned that the Red Army was attacking Guiyang, he also felt that the Red Army was too bold.

It is clear that the rescue of the tired army will not play a big role at all. So much so that Sun Du immediately ordered the troops to take a short rest. Wait until the troops have recovered some spirits, and then continue to force outside Guiyang City.

In his opinion, if the Red Army did not want to be surrounded and annihilated under the city of Guiyang, and heard that they had arrived in Guiyang, the best way was to retreat quickly. But Sun Du also knew that the Red Army was good at using the tactics of 'besieging the city and sending reinforcements'.

He was also worried that the Red Army would not give his Yunnan army division a pocket outside the city of Guiyang? If that's the case, he will not end up in his pocket. Therefore, proper vigilance and vigilance are still very necessary.

Just as Sun Du ordered the troops to rest and recuperate on the spot. A burst of whistling shells instantly caught these tired Dian troops off guard. The explosion of the shells also caused a great panic among the rest of the team.

'Not good! There is an ambush! Hurry up and organize a counterattack! ’

Some officers of the Dian Army, who realized that they had been ambushed by the Red Army, still organized their troops very quickly and began to set up blocking and counterattacking positions in the same place and in some places. But wave after wave of shells blew them up.

At the same time, the Red Army, which was lying in ambush around it, also began to attack. Under the cover of mortar batteries of the regiments, the fire of the Red Army was unusually fierce. As a result, many Dian troops had no time to do any defensive counterattack.

He Zhengdao, who followed the reconnaissance company, also participated in the attack. It's just that compared to other officers and soldiers rushing in front, He Zhengdao held a rifle and killed those counterattacking Dian troops from time to time.

Looking at He Zhengdao's accurate marksmanship one by one, the two guards who pressed the bullets and changed the guns for him also felt very admired. In their eyes, watching He Zhengdao kill the enemy is also a rare enjoyment!

Only Chief of Staff Wang Tianlin was somewhat dissatisfied with He Zhengdao's move to go to the front line in person. But he also knows that He Zhengdao is a person who can't stand loneliness. And its combat level is indeed unmatched in the whole division.

Although he only led a reconnaissance company commander, the lethality of the reconnaissance company led by He Zhengdao was undoubtedly very amazing. The bullets in the rain curtain, coupled with the super high marksmanship of the sharpshooters of the reconnaissance company, prevented the Dian army to be defeated one after another.

Many of the Guizhou troops who participated in the offensive seemed to have no pressure at all when they fought these Yunnan troops at this moment. If it is said that shooting and killing those officers and soldiers of the Guizhou army makes them somewhat unable to do it. These Dian troops don't need to take care of so much.

Looking at the retreating troops, as well as the rapid raiding of the Red Army, Sun Du also knew that he was finished. The driver was not saved, and he offended Long Yun. Next, I'm afraid his fate won't be too good.

In the face of the main forces of the Red Army, which were approaching step by step, an encirclement had already begun to form. Sun Du finally gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat to the rear and break through!" Just rush out and we'll be alive! ”

Sun Du's idea was correct, but for those Yunnan officers and soldiers who planned to block the attack, his so-called 'breakout' order was the last straw for victory, and the Yunnan troops who came to help began to surrender en masse.

The officers and men of the reserve battalion, who followed the main action, also began to take prisoners and clean up the battlefield under the order. And Sun Du, after the reconnaissance company pursued him on horseback for a while, he finally ended up fleeing in embarrassment.

When the reconnaissance company was ordered to return, looking at Sun Du and the others who had fled into the mountains and forests, they did not pursue too much. For them, this reinforcement force of nearly 10,000 people has been completely crippled by them.

Knowing that it would take some time to clean up the battlefield, He Zhengdao immediately said: "Order the artillery battalion and the first infantry regiment to rush to the outside of Guiyang City immediately to assist the fourth regiment in attacking the city." Remember, your mission is to frighten the central army in Guiyang City.

The remaining two regiments and three regiments, together with the logistics regiment, began to clean up the battlefield and prepare for retreat. Next, it's our turn to run and let the Central Army chase after us. Everyone is quick, and the sooner we finish cleaning the battlefield, we will be able to retreat sooner. ”

'Yes! Teachers! ’

Under He Zhengdao's order, the artillery battalion, which had already begun to dismantle the mountain artillery, had already pulled the carriage and rushed to the outside of Guiyang City. As for the 1st Infantry Regiment, with the help of the driver of the reconnaissance company, it quickly returned to the logistics regiment by car.

Seeing that the infantry regiment had successfully arrived and the artillery battalion was also on the way here, Ma Xiaojun also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, it seems that our trick of besieging the city and sending reinforcements has really worked." I don't know, what Chairman Jiang thinks at this moment! ”

received a telegram from Sun Du asking for help and Zhongfu, even Gu Zhutong was startled. He didn't understand how many soldiers and horses there were in this independent division besieging the city. Why is there such a big discrepancy between the number of people and the intelligence department's investigation?

Before, in Renhuai City, it is said that there were about 3,000 people. When they arrived in Xifeng City, the independent division became six or seven thousand people. But at this moment, looking at the troops in the outer city of the city, there are five or six thousand people.

How could the one who ambushed Sun Dubu be the main force of the Red Army?

Even if he couldn't figure it out, it still made Chairman Jiang angry. The sound of shelling in the city from time to time made Chairman Chiang feel that this was a retaliation and provocation by the Red Army against him.

But the problem is that he still can't do anything about it. Even Gu Zhutong ordered the artillery regiment in the city to counterattack the artillery positions of the Red Army. But in the end, it doesn't seem to work.

Just as night was about to fall, the artillery battalion of the Independent Division arrived outside Guiyang in time. Looking at Zhu Definition, who pulled the mountain cannon back, Ma Xiaojun was also very happy and said, "Old Zhu, you are finally here!" ”

'What? Waiting for a hurry? ’

'Yes! The artillery regiment of the Central Army in the city ploughed almost all the artillery positions I had arranged in advance. Fortunately, after two shots, the place was changed, so the four mountain guns were saved, and then it was up to you. ’

Listening to Ma Xiaojun's words, Zhu Definition also smiled and said, "Have you calculated the location of the opponent's artillery position?" ”

'Worked it out! This artillery regiment of the Central Army seems to be very arrogant! From the beginning of their counterattack, they did not change artillery positions. We had too few guns to pose an effective threat at all, and now it's up to you! ’

'Good! ’

Zhu Definition, who was very happy to respond to this, ordered the officers and men of the artillery battalion who had just arrived to start erecting mountain artillery. When He Zhengdao returned, the artillery battalion had just carried out a counter-artillery attack.

Listening to the sudden increase in the sound of shelling outside the city, Gu Zhutong looked very panicked and said, "It's not good! Order the artillery regiment, hurry up and transfer! It's over, our artillery is just afraid that it will be too late to transfer! ”

Gu Zhutong, who walked out of the command room, soon saw the batch of whistling shells, which landed directly around the position of the artillery regiment. He also knew that this artillery regiment was completely incapacitated.

Next, without the assistance of artillery, Guiyang City is only afraid that it will be really dangerous!

The artillery battalion, which had been bombed wildly, also quickly ended the shelling by nightfall. At this time, many officers and soldiers defending the city saw the torches that began to be lit outside the city. The light of the torches reflecting the red sky made the defenders in the city very nervous.

But the problem is that all the troops staying outside the city at the moment have received orders from He Zhengdao. After planting the torches, all the men retreated as fast as they could, and joined the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Regiments before dawn.

After this battle, the mission of the independent division as the vanguard has come to an end. Next, the independent division will take on the heavy responsibility of the rear of the palace, and buy more time for the main force of the Red Army in the transfer of battle.

And the frenzied shelling in the evening had already made the defenders of the city dare not speak lightly out of the city. This meant that when they woke up the next day and found that there was not a single Red Army outside the city, they realized that the Red Army had retreated ahead of schedule.

If you want to chase again, it is unlikely that you will be able to catch up. Even, before the investigation was clear, the defenders of the city did not dare to leave the city at will. Because they are equally worried that sending troops out of the city will again fall into the ambush circle of the independent division!
