Chapter 59: Fight to Fame

Standing in the hidden place of the southern city wall of Kunming, raising the binoculars, he saw that Tang Jiyao's subordinates, who had begun to gather not far from the city gate, were preparing to build fortifications, and Gu Pinzhen, who was dressed in a handsome uniform, knew that the siege was in front of him.

Sometimes, many people always think that he is just in his early forties, and that he should be a prosperous year for the military and political leaders who sit on the side, but he often feels that he is struggling. Even on some major strategies, he felt very powerless.

In his early years, when he was righteous, he traveled eastward, and then returned to China to serve in the Yunnan Army, and even served as a senior staff officer, and he was also a capable general under Cai Shuai. For Tang Jiyao, he was more unconvinced.

In his opinion, Tang Jiyao and Cai Ye are fundamentally the ratio of the moon and fluorescent. One is to cherish the nation, serve the country and the people, not only govern the army in a proper way, but also raise troops to protect the country, and value the people over profit. One is a cunning and treacherous, dumping peers, searching for people's wealth, building a large number of buildings, and being poor and extravagant.

Being able to drive Tang Jiyao out of Kunming was not only unexpected by him, but also made him see the hope of sitting in Yunnan and dominating one side. But the poor man does not die, Tang Jiyao is like a wounded jackal bloodthirsty counterattack, buying generals with troops everywhere, and borrowing Qiangui's soldiers to deal with himself, but it makes him scared and a little tired.

"Did Cai Shuai call back?" Hearing the footsteps behind him, Gu Pinzhen put down the binoculars and handed them to the guards, and asked the adjutant behind him without looking back.

"Returned. But ......"

"Read it!"

|β€œ My friend Shinosai, the situation is critical, and I hope to find a way out as soon as possible. The adjutant's voice was very low, and he seemed to have noticed the abnormality in Cai Yi's call. But he felt unwilling like Gu Pinzhen, Gu Dashuai had tens of thousands of horses, although the first section of Zhennan Pass could not come back, but Dashuai's confidant Miao Renyi had just returned to the aid of the whole division, and he didn't believe that Tang Jiyao could fly in with his hands and eyes.

Is it really going to be defeated? Even Cai Shuai is not optimistic about me? Gu Pinzhen's face was solemn, he wanted to invite Cai Yi to return to Kunming to preside over the overall situation at a time of crisis, which could not only contain Tang Jiyao, but also allow himself to step down. Tang Jiyao hates himself and disagrees with himself, so he can't even dare to do it with Cai Shuai. I'm never fit for this position to guard a heavy place. Rather than making people worry about it all night, it is not allowed to give it to Cai Shuai.

But now, Cai Ye is not coming back.

Cai Shuai built a military school, he knew it, and in order to support the scene, he sent 50,000 oceans and 20 students. However, Cai Shuai, who successfully founded the Huaxia Military Academy, made him unable to see through it anymore.

Dayang was retreated untouched, but the student accepted it. However, these students have not been heard from again, and even their own cronies have not been heard back. Then, in order to get along with Cai Ye and Jiang Baili, he even used international friendship as an excuse to strictly order his subordinates to release all commodities in the Dongchuan area.

He hadn't even seen what Zhang Shuchang, the head of the Huize People's League, looked like, but he had heard that he had thousands of people under him, and he also ran a lot of industries with Boss He of Xinhe Industrial. However, he never looked down on that head Zhang. Who is Cai Shuai? It was a leading talent, but he was willing to open a military academy on his territory. Who is Jiang Baili? In his opinion, maybe Jiang Baili is not a general, but he is definitely a good staff officer. Cai Shuai personally trained officers for him, Jiang Baili served him as a military officer, and He Fangjiong, a foreigner and the richest man in Yunnan, was with him.

"Marshal, the enemy is about to open fire." The adjutant cautiously reminded that the two 75mm mountain guns that were firing at close range on the opposite side had already lifted their gun coats and raised their muzzles, and Tang Jiyao was not even prepared to attack the city, so he could have seen that the defenders of the city were not in order.

"Boom! Boom! ”

As soon as two rapid cannon shots rang out, two 75mm mountain artillery shells flew over the city walls and fell into residential areas, destroying several houses. Gu Pinzhen looked back fiercely in the direction of the outside of the city, but was coerced by the adjutant and fled back. Beside him were soldiers carrying Hanyang on their backs, with a look of fear of cannons, and constantly rushing up the city wall, they were all Gu Pinzhen's loyal subordinates.

"Handsome, handsome......"

Surrounded by a group of guards and staff officers, Gu Pinzhen was about to return home, but saw his cronie Miao Renyi walking towards him with more than a dozen guards. This general, who was single-handedly raised, although his reputation was a little worse and he was repeatedly sued by others, was still loyal to himself.

"Renyi, you are not in the north gate, why did you suddenly come back. Yes, there is no cannon sound at the north gate, and the Tang thief should be the main attack on the other gates. In the face of Tang Jiyao's kind of putting a few cannons on each door, it was always impossible to guess his main direction of attack, Gu Pinzhen asked with some anxiety.

"Marshal, I have an urgent military situation to report." Miao Renyi walked over with a nervous face, and said with a low expression, it seemed that something big had happened.

"Huh? Urgent military situation? ”

Gu Pinzhen's face was full of doubts, a few steps away from his guard, and he walked in front of Miao Renyi, but he saw his cronies coming over with his ear, sticking to his ear and saying, "Dashuai, tell you very bad news, you have been arrested!" ”

"What?" As soon as Gu Pinzhen, who was startled, raised his head, he realized that a pistol was on his temple. And his cronie Miao Renyi, at this time, his face was full of hideousness, and while holding a pistol, he roared: "Arrest Lao Tzu." ”

The guards wanted to resist, but they were pressed down by the soldiers of Miao Renyi's department who suddenly rushed out on both sides, poor Gu Pinzhen In order to defend with all his might, he only left a guard company by his side, and there was only one squad with him on the city wall. When the guard company in the compound rushed out, he was blocked by three heavy machine guns brought by Miao Renyi's subordinates, and under his face, the heavy machine guns began to roar, and the large-caliber machine gun bullets seemed to be all strafing his own body, and even the people and the door were strafed together.

"Da Da Da ......"

One by one, the guards were swept by three heavy machine guns at close range, and they flew backwards together with the gate that was smashed into pieces.

There was not even a shouting or deterrence to shoot, they opened fire directly, and the beating machine guns swept the soldiers who were desperate to rush out of the marshal's mansion into two or three, the stumps flew sideways, and the flesh and blood were splashed, and the earth-shattering hidden disaster in front of the marshal's mansion made people dare not see it with their own eyes.

Miao Renyi coup d'Γ©tat, just in front of the Marshal's Mansion.

"Miao Renyi, you eat things inside and out, Gu Shuai's promotion grace for many years, have you forgotten it? You pig and dog are not as good as a brute, Gu Shuai has an army of tens of thousands, you dare to capture the commander in the army, you want to die, right? Gu Pinzhen's adjutant yelled inwardly, he knew that as soon as the heavy machine gun went off, the rescuers would come.

Sure enough, there was a dense sound of footsteps behind the street.

"Hahaha...... Gu Pinzhen, Lao Tzu was originally brought up by you. Now, I have to ask you to carry me one last time. Miao Renyi turned a deaf ear to the staff officer's roar, and a shot had already been fired next to him, knocking out a bloody hole in the staff officer's head, but he didn't live in an instant.

As soon as his subordinates killed Gu Pinzhen's staff officer, his face was even more hideous, and the gun in his hand also tightened Gu Pinzhen's head: "Brothers of the Seventh Division, all shout to Lao Tzu, welcome Tang Dashuai back to his home." ”

"Welcome Tang Dashuai back home...... Welcome to Tang Dashuai ......"

Gu Pinzhen looked up with difficulty, and a large number of troops coming from the street were indeed not his own men, but Tang Jiyao's subordinates. Because the one who walked in the front was Tang Jiyao, who was wearing a handsome military uniform.

"Miao Renyi, you brute !!"

Gu Pinzhen only felt that the biggest grievance in his life was betrayal by his cronies, and after roaring, he seemed to hear Miao Renyi's roar, and then the sound of the bolt hitting the tail of the bullet, and then ...... "Bang!" ”

A burst of gunfire seemed to cover up the neighing of heavy machine guns and the sound of cannons outside the city, which echoed in Kunming City for a long time.

"Division Commander, Kunming Emergency Electricity!!"

"Read!"

Zhang Shusheng was discussing with Jiang Baili and others about the Tang-Gu melee that might come in the next few days, and how his militia should deal with it, so as to obtain the greatest benefits in this turbulent era in Yunnan, but at this time, he saw the operational staff officer running in with a nervous face.

Miao Renyi rebelled, opened the north gate and let Tang Jiyao return to Kunming, Gu Pinzhen was shot dead by him on the spot, and the rest of the departments were all surrounded and surrendered. Miao Renyi was promoted to Yunnan East Defense Supervisor. ”

Boom! With a loud bang, Zhang Shusheng didn't say a word, and slammed his fist on the table, and suddenly a corner of the table was smashed. "Order all the ministries and be ready to fight at any time."

Whether it was a traitor, Tang Jiyao returned to Kunming smoothly and took over Gu Pinzhen's department, in short, the imaginary melee did not come, Gu Pinzhen died, Tang Jiyao was born, but he was in trouble. This is an extremely serious sudden battlefield incident.

Not to mention Gu Pinzhen and Tang Jiyao, whoever cleans up will passively become the next target. As soon as the situation in Yunnan is stable, not to mention anything else, Miao Renyi, who will be revenge and act as a villain, is afraid that he will be the first to recapture Xundian, and then the entire Dongchuan region.

Lao Tzu still wanted to sit in the entire Dongchuan, but he became the supervisor of the Eastern Defense, and war was inevitable.

Two days later, thirty miles north of Xundian County.

"Miao Shuai, my subordinates are willing to lead the Reading Force to be the vanguard and take Xundian."

In the barracks, Miao Renyi was drinking the best Pu'er tea comfortably, using the tea lid to swing the floating tea leaves on it, and chuckled: "Among the people, what are you anxious about!" You are my confidant, this time I just got the establishment of three divisions, and in the future, your reading force group will be the establishment of the 17th division. ”

"What about Zhang Shusheng, just relying on the guy next to me, I don't think it's reliable. More than 8,000 people, they all shrank their heads and tails when they fought Gu Pinzhen, and now, let them help us fight, maybe how to be lazy. The slaughterer grinned, and the dirty yellow teeth made people disgusted.

Miao Renyi: "He dares, he wants to make a stumbling block for Lao Tzu, and Gu Pinzhen is his end." Now in Yunnan, who doesn't know Lao Tzu's ruthlessness. ”

"What does Miao Shuai mean?"

"Tang Jiyao said when he borrowed troops that this 11th Division gave me full command, and maybe he also had the idea of dissipating dissidents. When the time comes, the 11th Division will be strictly ordered to be in front, and our 7th Division will be in the rear. If anyone retreats, the machine guns of the Warlords will not recognize anyone. ”

"Hehe, Miao Shuai's idea is really powerful." Flattery in the slaughter.

Miao Renyi's eyes showed a fierce light, "What kind of thing is Zhang Shusheng, doing some industry, co-opting a little bandits and peasants, even if it is an army?" Lao Tzu prepared a big gift for him this time, doesn't he like bandits? I'd rather take a look, facing the Southwest Bandits. How can he, the leader of the militia group, still laugh. ”

"Hahaha...... The handsome man is worthy of being thoughtful. Commander Wu is not an idler, Zhang Shusheng never dreamed that Miao Shuai would attach so much importance to him, and repeatedly sent big gifts. Tu Renzhong also laughed wildly, thinking that he was not the commander of the 17th Division, thinking that he was still a bandit back then, and now he can become a division seat with military power in hand, which is a glorious court.

"Order the 11th Division, be careful and hidden, start early tomorrow morning, and start attacking Xundian at six o'clock in the morning."

"Division commander, this is the latest enemy situation report."

The staff officer walked into the war room in Xundian County and handed over the latest enemy reconnaissance report to Zhang Shusheng.

Flipping it slightly, Zhang Shusheng handed the report to the others and said, "Miao Renyi is really a disciple who will be revenged." The newcomer was favored again, and blackmailed Tang Jiyao's division, intending to attack Xundian with an absolute advantage of 20,000 people and attack the Dongchuan area. In addition, according to the intelligence of the Special Intelligence Department, in the direction of Xuanwei, more than 10,000 people and horses of the giant bandit Wu Xuexian have entered a place more than 20 miles away from the city and can launch an attack at any time. ”

"It's trying to copy our back." Jiang Baili walked to the military map, drew two simple and clear marching arrows, and said.

Zhang Shusheng nodded, although he was not a military expert before the crossing, he had learned a lot over the years, and even had his own secret military command ability training through the Dream Machine. Therefore, he can still see Miao Renyi's ghostly thoughts.

"Our defense outside the city is mainly responsible for a regiment led by Ma Wenwu, with Zheng Zhinan of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade as a reserve defense force. The Third Regiment of the First Brigade in charge of Huo Dingguo had already left the city overnight, waiting for an opportunity to move. In the city, there was still an artillery battalion and the second regiment of the First Brigade He Zhiguang as the general reserve. Jiang Baili briefly said about the arrangement of this battle, "In general, in the face of this 20,000 horses whose combat effectiveness is not very strong, the strength in our hands is enough. The main question to worry about is whether the Second Brigade in the direction of Xuanwei can stop the murderous Wu Xuexian. Judging from the intelligence, Wu Xuexian's troops were poorly equipped compared with the ordinary regular troops in Yunnan, but they had a stronger will to fight. ”

"It's not that I have a strong will to fight, I should be thinking about entering the city to kill, burn and plunder." For this Wu Xuexian, Zhang Shusheng has been on guard for a long time, and in the entire southwest, he is regarded as the No. 1 bandit in Tianzi. "Well, do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy who is coming?"

"Yes!" Ma Wenwu and the others immediately stood up and saluted and replied.

"That's good! Now I announce that the Xundian battle plan has been officially launched, and it is necessary to annihilate the invading Miao Renyi Division. ”

The position outside Xundian City is no longer a simple trench ten days ago.

In order to thoroughly train the troops through actual combat, Zhang Shusheng ordered the troops to arrange their positions in advance according to the scale of large-scale battles. The whole army dug together, and the entire outside of Xundian City became a large defensive position with a length of more than 200 meters and three defensive depths in front and back.

If you look at it from the air, the entire outside of Xundian City is full of trenches like spider webs and concrete machine gun fortresses lying on the ground. The first line of defense is particularly impressive, as it is preceded by a minefield of more than fifty meters.

Zhang Shusheng, who originally only wanted to train his troops, did not want to use mines on a large scale, but as soon as he got the news that Miao Renyi led 20,000 Yunnan troops to attack, he could no longer wait to ignore it.

What does 20,000 horses mean? Not to mention anything else, it was 20,000 pigs rushing over, which was also a scene of scaring people to death.

No matter how bad the opponent's combat effectiveness is, he is not holding a burning stick in his hand, and if he hits one shot with dozens of shots, he will have to suffer a lot of casualties on his side. Therefore, this is not only an excellent opportunity for Zhang Shusheng to train his troops, but also an absolute challenge.

As the first regiment of the main force of defense, it felt that the burden was heavy.

"I won't say too much, which company lost its position, and which company went to grab it back for me. Not to mention that the position can't be lost, and Lao Tzu's face can't be lost either. ”

After Ma Wenwu of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade knew that he would be the first-line force to directly defend against 20,000 horses, he was both worried and excited.

The worry is that the troops will not be able to block the opponent's attack, and the excitement is that once they successfully defend against Miao Renyi's troops, then their first regiment will become the strongest combat force in the entire militia group.

Only the battlefield is the best training place for the army, and this is the first command theory he learned when he was at the Huaxia Military Academy.

After the company commanders left, Ma Wenwu left Gu Tianfeng, the commander of the first company of the first battalion, "How is it, is there any pressure?" You will be at the forefront. ”|β€œ Report to the head of the group, the pressure is there, but more confident. This time, the defense plan was mainly based on heavy machine guns, supplemented by artillery battalion artillery suppression, and once the opponent launched a formed charge, it was to seek death. Gu Tianfeng said.

"Well, the battle plan is the battle plan, as a front-line grassroots commander, you have to learn to adapt to the changes in the battlefield, after all, we lack the experience of this kind of large-scale defensive operations, once the other side rushes over and mixes together, losing the advantage of heavy firepower, these fortifications in front of the city gate will be almost lost."

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll go and supervise those boys now."

After Gu Tianfeng finished speaking, he turned around and ran away from the regimental headquarters behind the city wall, crossed the traffic ditches, and rushed back to his front-line position.

When he returned to the position, Gu Tianfeng had already seen boxes of machine gun bullets placed behind the machine gun bunker. The machine-gun bunkers built of quick-setting cement and bricks ten days ago were open behind them, and although they could not prevent direct hits or close bombardments from heavy artillery, they were just right for a unit of the level of the Dian army.

At this time, the sky had just revealed a little fish belly white, but there was a heavy fog in Xundian in spring, and it was rare to see people clearly ten meters away, and the steel helmets on the heads of the soldiers were wet with fog. But the soldiers all sat quietly in the trenches to recuperate, wiping their rifles, checking grenades, and the mortar platoon was also carefully checking whether the ammunition in the small gun holes was ready, which was part of the infantry training requirements, and it was necessary to make full use of every minute and second during the battle to be ready for battle.

Gu Tianfeng personally picked up the binoculars, hoping to see clearly through the dense fog in front of the position. In fact, this is just to comfort yourself, such a fog is not clear to see the distance, the other party will definitely take advantage of the fog to attack the city, just now the regiment headquarters has sent people to light a fire to disperse the fog within a hundred meters in front of the position.

However, the special forces have already sent people out to reconnoitre, and the enemy will definitely not be able to touch the position under heavy alert.

In the foggy morning, the big battle is not far off.

-- It's too cold in the north, and it's even colder in the suburbs. It's too difficult for people to code words, and the brothers are supported by subscriptions and monthly passes. There was light snow outside, and the fishermen had written this chapter in more than three hours, and their feet were wooden. Just a few cents, everyone subscribe and support.
