Chapter 159: Pockets

Li Muchan, the commander of the Second Brigade and the First Regiment, was closely following Chen Feng at this time, constantly nagging and asking for battle.

Li Muchan looked at the regiment on the battlefield in front of him, his heart was like a cat's claw, dangling in front of Chen Feng from time to time, thinking about when his second regiment would be able to support it.

Chen Feng threw himself on the battle ahead, but he was also dazzled by this guy's reluctance.

However, Chen Feng did not plan to increase his troops, glanced at Li Muchan, and smiled in his heart, but he still did not say anything, which made Li Muchan quite anxious.

In Chen Feng's heart, after this battle, he will soon be with Zhang Xunbu, and then it will be the most important event, so naturally a group of people will inevitably participate in the battle.

However, Chen Feng also has his own regret in his heart, that is, from now on, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to charge with a rifle in person.

After all, on the battlefield, he is no longer the soldier who represents his own charge as before, just like the commander said, he is now a brigade commander, and his every move is related to the life and death of thousands of people in his brigade, so he naturally has to start from the overall situation, this is what the commander sometimes laughs at the butt to decide the head!

Looking carefully at the battlefield in front of him, Chen Feng's eyes flashed with a touch of heat and nostalgia, and he thought that he was at the forefront at this time

After seeing the second regiment led by Cao Debiao who was responsible for the first round of charge, it unexpectedly quickly broke through the enemy's forward defensive position, so that the second round of charge prepared by Chen Feng actually caused chaos in Zhang Xun's department after a battalion of defenders broke and fled, and the first round of charge took the position of Zhouxing Village!

When bursts of shouts and killings sounded in the front position, Chen Feng finally relaxed, and then began to order all armies to cooperate with the Second Regiment to take over the front position, but looking at the place fleeing everywhere, coupled with the night, it was also a little difficult to completely annihilate the troops arranged here by Zhang Xun at this time.

Thinking of this, seeing that the large army had already rushed forward, he suddenly shouted: "Commander Li!" ”

"Here!" Li Muchan hurriedly responded, full of excitement, seeing that the battle ahead was fierce and about to come to an end, the brigade commander finally thought of himself, although he couldn't eat meat, but it was not bad to drink some soup.

This time, it's finally my turn!

"Take your first regiment up, cooperate with the second regiment, quickly take the forward position, and whoever resists, kill them, and directly destroy the enemy's last will to resist!"

"Yes!" When Li Muchan heard this, his heart jumped, and then he responded excitedly and loudly, and then his face was full of joy, and he turned around and shouted to the soldiers who were already ready to go: "Brothers, this time it is finally our turn, and let the brothers of the second regiment see how powerful we are, don't be flattened by that time!" All of them, charge forward! ”

The thousands of soldiers who couldn't wait for a long time cheered, and under the leadership of the regiment commander, like the autumn wind, they swept directly towards the melee battlefield.

The defenders of the battalion that were fighting hard in front finally found a large number of reinforcements used by the rear of the Northern Anhui Army, and they were completely desperate at this time, and they could no longer hold up any courage!

The second regiment on the position let out a burst of cheers, the morale was fiercer, and the offensive was more urgent, but no one noticed that Cao Debiao saw the support of the first regiment, and sighed silently, this time the credit was stained by the other party again!

When the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd regiments all entered the position and launched a final charge against the enemy, the last suspense of this battle was gone!

The remaining Zhang Xunbu, who was lucky not to die, had to give up the last resistance in despair at this time, threw the gun in his hand on the ground, and then hugged his head tightly, wanting to seek a little sense of security.

But when they look down at the ground, they will find that the ground is full of stumps and broken arms and the blood of dead soldiers, coupled with the miserable howls of soldiers from time to time, where is there any sense of security!

The results of the battle also quickly leveled down, and the casualty figures of their own side made Han Zheng, who was sitting in the rear of the army, greatly relieved, accompanied by all the soldiers, Han Zheng's footsteps stepped on the land of Zhouxing Village, and Han Zheng decided that he would continue to attack and occupy the bridge!

The reporters who watched the battle behind, they had never been in close contact with such a tragic war, and their faces were still pale at this time, but they didn't expect Han Zhengjun to be able to end this battle so quickly, you must know that the Braided Army, which has always been known for its elite, has thousands of elite soldiers under their commander, and they don't know how many battles they have experienced!

But those Zhang Xunbu still suffered a shameful defeat under the hooves of Han Zheng's army.

In the battle, the first division of the Northern Anhui Army led by Han Zheng lost 108 people and wounded 195 people, and annihilated and collected the two main battalions of Zhang Xun's braided army and even 788 people, which lasted nearly an hour or so to end the battle!

On the other side, almost at the same time, when the cannon on Han Zheng's side had just sounded, Zhang Xun's army had already come to the area of Baitu Town, so that it was getting closer and closer to the position at the mouth of the bridge.

But at this time, Zhang Xun never imagined that the strength of his two battalions in front would be won by Han in a short period of time!

Zhang Xun knew that it would be very dangerous for the soldiers on the front position to defend the front position, and Zhang Xun thought in his heart that even if Han Zheng launched a surprise attack, and at this time Zhang Xun's department had already made enough time to prepare, so Zhang Xun was not very worried about whether the defenders could hold on to the support of his own army.

And if you can drag Han Zheng's Northern Anhui Army, once that time comes, when both sides are exhausted, your own army will be pressed, and Han Zheng's army will definitely be defeated!

However, he seemed to think too beautifully, because Zhang Xun didn't know that the seven or eight hundred soldiers who were holding on to the front had not rested for a day and a night, and because of his own orders, he didn't even have the leader of the army!

Just when Zhang Xun's army came to the area of Shanghuangzhuang, the battle had already ended in front of him, and a bigger battle was brewing, and it suddenly rushed towards Zhang Xun, without even giving Zhang Xun enough time to prepare!

After Han Zheng arranged for people to stay behind to treat the wounded, the army did not stay all the way, because he now had to occupy the area around the bridge and knock out the last bridgehead left by Zhang Xun's troops in the Huaibei area!

And due to the defeat of Zhang Xun's two battalions, it means that the bridgehead position at this time has become an undefended area at this time!

At the same time, Han Zheng even thought about taking his army of nearly 10,000 people to set foot on Xuzhou, the land he had always wanted to touch.

The army marched quickly, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, finally arrived at the position at the mouth of the bridge, and received it smoothly.

However, this is not over, Han Zheng came up with a new idea when he learned that Zhang Xunbu had not yet arrived in the Yonggu area!

Then, Han Zheng led the army, to everyone's expectation, Han Zheng suddenly drove into the territory of Xuzhou with the Northern Anhui Army, and went directly to the Yonggu Town area on the border of Xuzhou, after arriving here, Han Zheng personally sat in Yonggu Town, Chen Feng led the first brigade to advance and Shengli Village until Guozhuang ambushed down, Xiang Jie led his second brigade officers and soldiers to Xu Gangzi to ambush down, when Zhang Xun didn't know, Han Zheng had opened a big pocket, quietly lurking, waiting for the prey to come to the door!

At this time, the main force around Zhang Xun except for the more than 1,000 soldiers who stayed in Xuzhou, there were more than 8,900 people who stayed by his side this time, and in order to rush to the Qiaokou position, Zhang Shuyuan took more than 2,000 soldiers to act as the vanguard, and marched south violently, while Yonggu Town was a necessary supply point for Zhang Xun's army to go south!

The reason why Han Zheng was able to open a pocket on the territory of Xuzhou so smoothly this time was not because of anything else, but because Zhang Xun was too anxious this time, and he had not yet fully controlled Xuzhou, and the forces had not penetrated Xuzhou, so he launched a battle against the Anhui army!

If it takes a while, not to mention more, it is estimated that one or two months will be enough, and Zhang Xun will be able to calmly take over all the territory of Xuzhou, unlike now, when Han Zheng took advantage of the loophole!

A month ago, when Zhang Xun had just come to Xuzhou, when he took over this place, the murderous nature of his subordinates had not yet been reined in, and there was even a robbery and murder incident in Xuzhou City, and then for this matter, Zhang Xun had to spend more than ten days to suppress this matter, and the soldiers slowly calmed down.

But then Zhang Xun found that he didn't have enough money in his hand, Xuzhou suffered a military disaster, and not long ago he was hit by bandits, and it was impossible to feed his tens of thousands of soldiers!

In desperation, he started to think carefully, and then there were all kinds of dirt and dirt between Han Zhengjun and the Northern Anhui Army, and until this time, Zhang Xun did not find time to take over the area around Xuzhou, but only sent some troops to maintain order in the border areas and some important towns.

Because of this, where would he receive any useful news, plus those soldiers sent down usually looted the local people like the emperor of the soil and persecuted the local rich families, it was difficult to win the hearts of the people, and no one would take the initiative to pass on the news to them.

The only thing that is of some use is the intelligence organization that Zhou Ming has just established, and Zhou Ming can let these people know something that they shouldn't know?!

The answer is obvious!

As a result, the direct result is that Zhang Xun and these people have become completely blind after leaving Xuzhou City, which is also the reason why Han Zheng dared to do it at this time, if he was a cunning man like Zhang Xun and established himself in Xuzhou, he would never have such a good opportunity!

However, after all, Zhang Shuyuan has been in battle for a long time, and he is cautious on the way, and Zhang Shuyuan doesn't know why, there is always a bad premonition along the way, Zhou Ming's people have been sent out, and there is no news in the direction of the bridge so far, this premonition is getting stronger and stronger.

Therefore, it was this uneasiness that made Zhang Shuyuan speed up his march, and there was almost no rest on the way to the bridge, and if it weren't for the soldiers who couldn't stand it, it was estimated that they would not want to stop in Yonggu Town in front!

In Yonggu Town, Han Zheng had already taken advantage of the situation to take over this place, and at this time, he and Wang Xian were standing at the head of the city, looking at the haystack in the north of the city that was piled up by rural hay, and neither of them spoke.

For a long time, Wang Xian did not agree with the military adventure of this Han Zheng, and fought with Zhang Xun, Wang Xian really lacked the confidence to accumulate the foundation, not because he was afraid, but it was an instinctive habit!

However, since the opening of the war, the progress of the army has greatly exceeded Wang Xian's expectations, after the total annihilation of the enemy's two battalions, Wang Xian's worries are no longer there, that is, this time when he came to Yonggu Town, Wang Xian took the initiative to ask for help, and followed Han Zheng with the gendarmerie.

And inside the stacks of haystacks outside the city, it is the strength of a battalion of the gendarmerie and a battalion of the regiment directly under it that are hidden! The remaining nearly 2,000 people were placed inside the city to echo the outside of the city.

"This is the first time your gendarmerie has played, don't be ashamed, when the time comes, I won't help you if you are laughed at by a few of them." Han Zheng glanced at Wang Xian next to him and said a little jokingly.

For this task, several of his generals were scrambling, and in the end, because Wang Xian's gendarmerie had been idle, coupled with the advantage of firepower, it was suitable for carrying out this mission, so Wang Xian was retained.

"Don't worry, commander, the brothers have been waiting for a long time, and everything is properly prepared this time."

"Well, then let's go down first, wait to see the show, how to find it, this time we have to gnaw a piece of meat on Zhang Dashuai!" (To be continued.) )
