Chapter 80: It's a Conspiracy!

(PS: In the new week, mosquitoes kneel and beg for your recommendation, collection, evaluation, etc.) )

With the annihilation of the 99th Division, which had been clinging to the independent division, the 86th Division of the Central Army, which followed up, did not seem to dare to continue the pursuit. Retreat to Guanling and wait for the two Gui army divisions that will join them.

In view of this situation, after joining Yao Shengjun, who served as the striker, He Zhengdao did not choose to continue to march in the direction of Shuicheng. Even if He Zhengdao is clear, at present, Zhou Hunyuan's column already has a division marching to Shuicheng.

The enemy meant to get ahead of the Independence Division and seize this place, which had been occupied once by the Red Army. The water city is also a relatively important military place in the territory of western Qianxi, and it is also a strategic passage into the Wumeng Mountains.

Just saw Zhou Hunyuan's column, and even divided the troops and arranged a blockade line along the Yunnan-Guizhou border. In some counties near Yunnan, the main force of a regiment was arranged, and it seemed that the independent division was trapped in the territory of western Qianxi.

Faced with this situation, He Zhengdao, who was stationed in the ancient city of Langdai, after some consideration. It turned out to be a little surprising, and ordered the troops to begin to rest and wait for the next order.

Such an order made Yao Shengjun somewhat puzzled: "Division commander, at this time, we must compete with the Central Army for time!" If they are allowed to seize Shuicheng, won't our idea of breaking through from Qianxi be in vain? ”

Listening to Yao Shengjun's words, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Political commissar, even you think that it is very unexpected for us to rest in Langdai. Do you think the Central Army will be surprised when they receive this news?

If we want to reach Shuicheng in front of the Central Army, then the independent division will not be able to rest at all, and even have to work day and night to be able to take Shuicheng in front of the Central Army. In my opinion, this is very disadvantageous.

At present, the closest Central Army to us is Zhou Hunyuan's column. It's just that these forces are scattered, and their task is only to act as a defense rather than an offensive. Before the rest of the encirclement army arrived, they did not dare to act lightly.

Since they are willing to seize the water city, let them grab it. Such a large piece of land is enough for our independent division activities. We can even rely on Lang Dai to fight with the Central Army. ”

With He Zhengdao's specific plan of action, he told Yao Shengjun about it. The political commissar also felt that He Zhengdao's idea was too bold. But he also knows that He Zhengdao has come all the way, so is he not bold in that battle?

'Commander, wouldn't it be too dangerous to do this?' ’

'Wealth is in danger! At present, the independent division seems to be strong and strong, but the actual expansion of the unit is too fast, and the running-in of officers and men needs to be strengthened. In my opinion, it is still very necessary to take a well-timed break.

Moreover, three days will also allow the officers and men of our independent division to get a stable rest and recuperation time. As long as we do not move, the enemy will feel that we must have some conspiracy and will begin to make corresponding marching arrangements.

When we know what methods the Central Army intends to implement to encircle and suppress us, we can also prescribe the right medicine, come up with corresponding solutions, find out their weak points, and reverse this unfavorable situation with one blow.

Most importantly, I hope to bring a complete and powerful independent division out of here to join the headquarters. If we fight hard with the Central Army, even if we can break out of the encirclement, I am afraid that our independent division will not survive one out of ten.

And the political commissar also knows that the strength of our main forces at present has not been restored too well. The integrity of the independent division will play a crucial role in the ensuing battle. It is also very necessary to take risks! ’

In He Zhengdao's vision, he and the Central Army will play a game of 'if the enemy does not move, I will not move'. Let the Central Army make a move first, and then the independent division will see another move to get rid of the pursuit at the minimum cost.

After some discussion, even Yao Shengjun and Wang Tianlin were a little worried. But both of them know that in the current situation, if they want to preserve the strength of the independent division, it is also very necessary to take risks and make surprise moves.

The three bosses of the independent division reached an agreement, and He Zhengdao also issued an order for the whole division to rest for three days. It was only during the rest of the troops that He Zhengdao came to Li Xiangdong and announced the expansion of the reconnaissance company.

From among the whole division, select outstanding officers and men to join the reconnaissance company. Even Zhu Jie, the commander of the artillery battalion, received a secret order from He Zhengdao to select a crack artillery detachment.

In the face of the expansion of the reconnaissance company, many officers and men who fought with the reconnaissance company knew that the reconnaissance company was the sharp knife of the whole division. It is also a great honor to be able to join the reconnaissance company.

It's just that for the four infantry commanders, they feel a little distressed. The reason is that the expansion of the reconnaissance company has picked out some of the top soldiers of their regiments.

With the arrival of these expanded soldiers, He Zhengdao expanded the reconnaissance battalion to about 400 people, and all of them were pulled outside the city for two days of secret training. Two days later, the reconnaissance battalion was ordered to go out to reconnoitre.

To the surprise of the four regiment commanders, their division commander, He Zhengdao, was no longer in the division headquarters. And the person who succeeded He Zhengdao and temporarily served as the division commander turned out to be Wang Tianlin, the chief of staff. This made them feel that He Zhengdao was afraid that he had some secret plan.

In addition to the reconnaissance battalion being taken away by He Zhengdao, the artillery battalion commander Zhu Definition and more than a hundred artillery soldiers who could also act as infantry also left from the combat sequence of the independent division. This further proves that He Zhengdao has any secret operations.

Also following He Zhengdao's actions were several telegraph operators specially called from the communications company. Such a team of more than 500 people seemed to have disappeared from the independent division. Where to go, what to do, the heads of the regiments do not know.

At this time, Zhou Hunyuan, who led a main division and stationed in Shuicheng, informed the independent division that after encircling and annihilating the 99th Division, it was also unbelievable that it would rest in Langdai. The first reaction was, this is a conspiracy!

However, according to the report of intelligence officers near Lang Dai, not a single unit of the Independent Division left Lang Dai, and the Independent Division stayed in Lang Dai to rest and recuperate in the past few days. Even at the makeshift shooting range outside the city, frequent gunfire can be heard every day.

At this time, there is still kung fu training troops?

When these news were transferred to Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of encirclement and suppression, who knew the Red Army very well, also felt that he smelled a strong smell of conspiracy. But according to the feedback from all parties, it seems that the independent division has no private actions?

Could it be that the independent division that is now resting in Lang Dai is not the main force of the independent division? Where is the main force of the independent division, which has concealed from his intelligence officers, to ambush those troops who participated in the encirclement and suppression?

I feel that this abnormal behavior must hide some ulterior motives. Xue Yue quickly ordered the troops to be attacked, and the next encirclement and suppression operations, the distance between the marches of the divisions, and the support of the incoming and follow-up troops must be guaranteed.

In his opinion, as long as the troops involved in the encirclement and suppression of the Independent Division are vigilant, the Independent Division wants to repeat the ambush of the 99th Division, but he is afraid that it is unlikely. But he didn't know that this order made many encirclers look a little nervous.

In particular, the 86th Division, which had seen the 99th Division being encircled and annihilated on the battlefield with his own eyes, still let the two Gui Divisions who came from afar rest first, and did not rush to advance to the Langdai area together.

Even in the opinion of the commander of the 86th Division, it was better not to have his turn for the troops who were in the vanguard of encirclement and suppression. In this regard, the two Gui military divisions who came to help were naturally willing to rest in Guanling. After all, they're here to play a supporting role this time!

And at this moment, he left the main force, with the expanded reconnaissance battalion, as well as the artillery detachment and the electrical reconnaissance detachment. Seeing that the 86th Division and the reinforcements converged, there was still no movement, and he was also very happy.

At this time, he hoped that these encircled and suppressed troops could postpone the time to enter the suppression. Only in this way can the independent division get enough time to recuperate, so that the commanders and fighters of the whole division can recover to the best condition to meet the following battles.

At this moment, He Zhengdao, who was leading more than 500 elite officers and soldiers, had quietly arrived at the Yunnan-Guizhou border controlled by Zhou Hunyuan's column by day and night. Coming here is also looking for an opportunity to break through this blockade line.

As the officers and men of the whole battalion arrived at Longyin Township in Pu'an, He Zhengdao ordered the reconnaissance battalion to start reconnoitring. Even if He Zhengdao is clear, on this blockade line, Zhou Hunyuan has placed three divisions of troops.

However, to control such a long blockade line, it is impossible for all three divisions to be concentrated and used. And now, in a township like Longyin, there are not many troops deployed. This gave He Zhengdao a chance to break through.

Accumulate a lot, as long as it is on Zhou Hunyuan's column, tear out a hole. It is believed that Zhou Hunyuan must draw troops from Shuicheng or Pu'an to contain the gap. However, in such an area, how easy is it to carry out rapid reinforcements?

In a township like Longyin, Zhou Hunyuan arranged a main battalion, and the township guard team to blockade it. These units have only one task, that is, to promptly submit information to the column for disposal when the enemy situation is discovered.

If an independent division is found and wants to break through from here, the main force of the column arranged on this line can set up a blockade line in time. But the forces from other places, once concentrated here, gave the independent division a chance to rest in Langdai.

But to do this, it is also not easy for He Zhengdao, who currently has only one battalion in strength! After all, the main force of the Independent Division is really resting in Langdai. But the Central Army, will it believe it?
