At noon on September 18, the main forces of the First Army Corps and the Second Army Corps of the Dragon and Tiger Army had already joined forces in Huairen County, south of Datong Prefecture, and the two cavalry brigades were combined into a cavalry division, and under the leadership of Zhang Decheng and Cao Futian, they had already occupied the county town of Hanyin in the south of Huairen County, and the Third Army, the Fourth Army Corps, the Fifth Army Corps, and the Sixth Army Corps had also rushed to the territory of Huairen County.

At this point, all the 60,000 Jin troops stationed in Datong Mansion were defeated, of which more than 40,000 surrendered and were captured, more than 13,000 were killed, and more than 6,000 fled south to Shuozhou under the leadership of Ma Jin, the general soldier of Datong.

On the banks of the Sanggan River, the commander of the special operations brigade, Leng Feng, led the five thousand special soldiers of the special operations brigade to ambush, and the Sanggan River Bridge had already been controlled by the Excalibur special combat team.

Since the Dragon and Tiger Army sent troops to Shanxi, the Special Warfare Brigade has shouldered the work of collecting battlefield intelligence, and the special operations brigade has provided intelligence to the Dragon and Tiger Army in the deployment and defense priorities of the Jin Army in Tianzhen, Datong, Huairen, and Yanggao counties, and most of the Jin troops who were scattered and fled by the Dragon and Tiger Army were also pursued and captured by the Special Brigade.

Now, it was determined that Ma Jin would inevitably lead the defeated troops to flee to Taiyuan, Shanxi, and the Sanggan River Bridge was the only way to go, so Wang Jundao ordered Leng Feng to take the lead in leading the special combat brigade to ambush by the Sanggan River and wait for the rabbit.

Sure enough, after the special operations brigade had been ambushed by the Sanggan River for three full hours, and after all the special operations soldiers had rested and refreshed, Ma Jin came running with more than 6,000 defeated soldiers.

The Sanggan River is not very deep, and the river surface is not very wide, but except for people with better water surnames who can swim through, ordinary people with water surnames do not want to cross the river, not to mention that most of the Jin army are dryland ducks.

Now that the Sanggan River Bridge has been occupied by the Special Operations Brigade, the south bank of the Sanggan River is also controlled by the Special Operations Brigade, and there are the chasing soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Army behind him, Ma Jin finally realized the sadness of Shi Dakai's troops trapped in the Dadu River forty years ago.

"Brothers of the Jin army, as long as we rush across the Sanggan River and break through the Dragon and Tiger Army on the opposite side, we can go back to Taiyuan and go home!" Ma Jin did not choose to surrender, but personally led his own soldiers, roaring, and launched a charge desperately, even if he died, he would die on the battlefield of the charge, not surrender.

Aroused by the hope of returning home, the six thousand soldiers of the Jin army, who were about to collapse, seemed to have regained their strength and followed Ma Jin to charge towards the Sanggan River Bridge.

Looking at the Jin army rushing forward fearlessly from a distance, Leng Feng was expressionless, calmly coping, and ordered loudly: "Qiu Zhijun, lead the sniper team to sniper officers one by one, Liu Hui, lead the machine gun team to suppress firepower, Hao Jindong, lead the artillery team, use bazookas, recoilless guns, and mortars to carry out artillery attacks, Pei Jianfeng and Luo Jianqiu lead the Shenjian Special Combat Team, the First Assault Brigade, the Second Assault Brigade, the Third Assault Brigade, the Third Assault Brigade, the Fourth Assault Brigade, and the Fifth Assault Brigade to stand by and be ready to launch an assault charge at any time." ”

The Special Warfare Brigade is a pro-army directly under Wang Jundao, with only 5,000 men, and is the most well-equipped, the most terrifyingly trained, the most elite soldiers, and the most ferocious in combat effectiveness of the Dragon and Tiger Regiment.

The special operations brigade is not only proficient in special operations, but also proficient in conventional combat, they have the most advanced weapons and equipment and the most sufficient ammunition, not to mention that it is only 6,000 Jin troops who are defeated, even if it is 60,000 Jin troops, without a large number of heavy artillery, it is absolutely impossible to break through the defense line of the special operations brigade from the Sanggan River bridge.

In just fifteen minutes, Ma Jin and his 200 guards were all killed, and the hundreds of Jin troops who rushed to the Sanggan River Bridge in a frenzy were all dealt with with artillery, machine guns, sniper rifles, assault rifles and other weapons.

Realizing that it was hopeless to charge through the Sanggan River Bridge, the Jin army, which had lost its main general, chose to stop, and no one dared to charge again, because everyone knew that charging meant death.

The battlefield stopped for fifteen minutes, and then the sound of thunderous horses' hooves sounded in the north, and a few minutes later, a cavalry division temporarily formed by the cavalry regiments directly under the six major legions of the Dragon and Tiger Army appeared in the distance, with Zhang Decheng, deputy commander of the First Army Corps, personally serving as the division commander, and Cao Futian, deputy commander of the Second Army Corps, personally serving as the deputy division commander.

Soon, the 5,000 Jin army was surrounded by the Sanggan River, and under the slogan of the Dragon and Tiger Army's 'surrender without killing, surrender and avoid death', the leaderless Jin army chose to abandon their weapons and surrender to the Dragon and Tiger Army.

The news soon reached Datong Mansion through wireless telegraphy, and when the information was received, Wang Jundao was convening a meeting of the six army commanders and the six army chiefs to discuss the next move.

Wang Jundao asked his adjutant Lin Zhengnan, who was also the chief of the general staff of the Shanxi Battle, to read the telegram sent by the Sanggan River in front of everyone, and then said: "In the first battle of Datongfu, we used the First Army Corps and the Second Army Corps, with precise command, elite soldiers, and sophisticated weapons, a total of more than 15,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 45,000 people were captured, and the local armies in various prefectures and counties also surrendered one after another. ”

Pang Wei, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, said: "I suggest that all the six major army corps be dispatched to surround Taiyuan, take Taiyuan in a battle with the power of Datong's victory, and then take Taiyuan with a large army, and order all provinces, prefectures and counties in Shanxi to surrender, otherwise the army will be pressurized, under the general trend, I think all parts of the country will definitely come to surrender, even if there are a few areas that are unwilling to surrender, it is much easier to conquer, and this can save all parts of Shanxi from war." ”

When the words fell, Tang Jian said: "I agree with Lao Pang's suggestion, the Dragon and Tiger Legion sent troops to Shanxi, although the primary purpose is to recover Shanxi, but it is also training, since it is a large army battle, it is necessary to fight a battle with the participation of major legions." ”

Nie Yuanzheng said: "I agree with the proposal to go down to Shanxi in a war, but I suggest that only four legions be used and two legions should be retained. ”

Wang Jundao looked at Pang Wei and Tang Jian, and finally his eyes stayed on Nie Yuanzheng and asked, "Why?" ”

Nie Yuanzheng said: "Datong battle, the Jin army lost 60,000, although compared to our army, the 60,000 Jin army is not considered an elite soldier, but in the Jin army, the 60,000 Jin army is a well-deserved elite, I conclude that such an elite, the Jin army will never be too much, and with the terrain of Shanxi surrounded by enemies, the Jin army cannot only be deployed in Datong, there will be standing garrisons in the east, west, and south, so that Taiyuan will not have too many troops, at most not more than 50,000, with the combat effectiveness and equipment of our army, Taiyuan will be surrounded and defeated, Two legions are enough, four legions are enough. ”

Wang Jundao smiled and asked: "Tang Jian also said just now that the whole army needs to be trained, why don't you use all six legions?" ”

Nie Yuanzheng said: "The results achieved by the four legions and the six legions are all the same, so why use the six legions?" What's more, even if six legions are used, it would be good to have three legions if they could really contact the war, and the rest of them would not have the opportunity to really contact the battle, at most it would be just a march, since they were all marches, it would not make much difference whether they participated in the battle or not, it was better to hide them and use them as the main force to attack Shaanxi or other places. ”

Wang Jundao nodded, and said with a hearty smile: "Yes, there are still too many opportunities for war in the future, if you fight a Taiyuan, you have to use all my troops to enter Shanxi, doesn't that mean that the combat effectiveness of my Dragon and Tiger Legion is too unbearable?" So I decided that even if he had an army of 100,000 or 200,000 in Taiyuan, I would only use three legions to unify Shanxi, and I would only use these three legions, and I would let the Dragon and Tiger Army learn to fight tough battles, and the remaining three legions would only participate in the battlefield march, feel the war atmosphere and the hardships of the march, and would not participate in the battle of Shanxi. ”

As soon as Wang Jundao's words fell, Pang Wei, Xiang Zilong, and Tang Jian stood up at the same time and asked for war together, all hoping to become one of the three legions to unify Shanxi, only Nie Yuanzheng did not ask for battle, but just sat quietly, after all, the proposal to change was made by him, and it was not appropriate to ask for war at this time, but anyone could see what he hoped in his eyes.

Wang Jundao looked at the three of them acting in unison, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just said, there will be more after the war, there is no need to fight this time, I already have arrangements, you sit down first." (To be continued.) )
