After leaving Hu Zongnan's First Army headquarters, Li Tiejun returned directly to the First Brigade station, although Hu Zongnan repeatedly told him before departure, Li Tiejun still did not believe that the Red Army could compete with his First Brigade in the world.

After gathering troops and horses, the first brigade in the world drove out of Qingcheng and went all the way north to attack the Red Army occupying Rouyuan, the county seat of Huachi County.

Before Li Tiejun's departure, the main attack on this road was Mao Bingwen's 37th Army, whose military headquarters was set up in Yuele Town, and the 8th Division, as the vanguard of the whole army, was currently stationed in the Wentai area, opposite the Red Army stationed in Rouyuan Town.

The 24th Division, as the left flank of the 8th Division, originally wanted to take Li Liangzi, Wujiao, and Huai'an, and detour to the rear of Rouyuan Town, but was blocked by the 115th Regiment of the Fifth Division of the Red Army in the Wujiao area, and had already retreated to Li Liangzi at this time.

During the more than ten days of offensive, the 37th Army was constantly frustrated, and once thought of taking the right flank, detouring to the rear of Rouyuan Town from the moat, Dinghan, and mountain villas, but unexpectedly, the 114th Regiment of the Fifth Division of the Red Army also set up a defensive position in Dinghan, which made the 37th Army suffer another setback and had to retreat to rest.

As the first brigade in the world, Li Tiejun did not think about detouring to the rear after receiving the order, he preferred the frontal knife tip to knife tip fighting, at this time the Red Army set up a position to fight a positional battle with the Central Army, which was the most desired combat method, and the direction of the current wave of the army was Rouyuan Town in the middle.

After walking out of Qingcheng and passing through Xuanma Township, opposite is Yuele Town, where the military headquarters of the 37th Army is located, as early as before the arrival of the first brigade in the world, Mao Bingwen prepared a very large pomp to welcome Li Tiejun.

In order to greet the first brigade in the world, almost all the officers of the 37th Army appeared in unison, and the pomp was similar to that of greeting the Standing Chairman, although Li Tiejun felt that it was a little too much, but he still accepted it calmly, as a "close minister of the Son of Heaven", his status was not comparable to Mao Bingwen and others.

After a brief greeting, Li Tiejun was welcomed into Yuele Town, followed by a meal of wine. The faces of the generals of the 37th Army at the wine table were not very good, but Mao Bingwen kept smiling, constantly complimenting the first brigade in the world for how brave it was, and this time it will definitely be successful.

Li Tiejun knew that Mao Bingwen was just polite words, and he didn't necessarily want him to win, but he wasn't angry, and there was no shortage of etiquette at all, just secretly scolding and waiting for Lao Tzu to defeat the Red Army, and then see what your expressions were.

After drinking the wine, Li Tiejun rested in Yuele Town for the night and continued to the north the next day.

After arriving in the Wentai area, Li Tiejun found that the morale of the 8th Division was relatively low, and the casualties of all units were not small.

However, after seeing the current situation of the 8th Division, not only did he not consider why the 8th Division had such a deplorable appearance, but instead issued all kinds of disdain and ridicule in his heart, thinking that these miscellaneous armies were of little use.

After briefly inspecting and understanding the situation of the 8th Division, Li Tiejun let the troops rest for half a day, and only after recuperating enough mental strength did they continue to move north, and rushed to the area around Kuantaigoumen, the forward position, before dark.

In order to block the way of the Central Army to the north, the Red Army set up a camp near Sunjiachuan, and the defensive position was very strong, so that the 8th Division of the 37th Army suffered a lot of losses.

After the troops arrived at Kuantaigou Gate, Li Tiejun personally led people to the front line to conduct reconnaissance, although he was very surprised by the Red Army's way of arranging the formation and the defensive positions built, he was still full of confidence, this kind of battle is the most suitable for the first brigade in the world.

That night, Li Tiejun formulated a battle plan and prepared to launch an attack in the early morning of the next day, which caught the Red Army by surprise.

When Li Tiejun was full of confidence, he did not know that his battle plan had been placed on the conference table of the former enemy headquarters of the Red Army, and every move was under the control of the Red Army.

Regarding Li Tiejun's battle plan, Mr. Zhu Wei was noncommittal, really thinking that he would be invincible if he replaced German equipment and equipment, and if he couldn't keep up with his tactical thinking, it would be useless to give him the best equipment, which was noticed by the Central Committee of the Red Army during the Battle of Wuqi Town.

At that time, the Red Army rushed to change its clothes, and its firepower was greatly improved, but the soldiers were not very proficient in using it, which caused many problems on the battlefield. In addition, because the commander is not familiar with the new equipment and does not know how to rationally allocate firepower, a large amount of firepower is wasted. Another is the problem of tactics, because if the equipment and tactics are not matched, it will not be possible to fully bring into full play all the combat effectiveness.

For the sake of these things, in recent months, the Red Army has seized the time to study and train every day in order to have its current combat effectiveness.

The First Brigade of the World claimed to have been reequipped with German armaments, but judging from the information provided by Li Keji and the information obtained by the Red Army itself, it was still far from the real German standing division, and it was impossible to compare it with the current Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

There is a gap in equipment, and the training of the first brigade in the world cannot be compared, although the training of the first brigade in the world in this era is enough and professional, but it is still too far behind the future PLA standards used by the Red Army.

Whether it is equipment training or military morale, the workers' and peasants' Red Army has an advantage, so President Zhu Wei is not worried about Li Tiejun's first brigade in the world at all, what he is worried about now is whether the column and the first division of the Central Military Commission can arrive at the predetermined place on time.

It has been two days since Cheng Zhigeng's departure, and the First Division, which has been traveling day and night, is about to arrive at the predetermined location, and has not yet been discovered by the Central Army. On the other side, the situation of the CMC column was not very good, the road they needed to detour was too far, and the road conditions were much worse than those of the 1st Division, and there was still a certain distance from the predetermined place at this time.

The speed of the Military Commission column did not achieve the expected effect, and Mr. Zhu Wei couldn't help but contact Ye Jianying on the radio and shouted: "Jianying, where is your Military Commission column now?" Can you get to the scheduled location within the allotted time? ”

"Back to the boss, our department has arrived in the Tuqiao area and is moving towards Tongchuan Township. After entering the Tongchuan area, the road conditions will be much better, and our department will be able to rush to the predetermined location within the specified time, please rest assured that the boss and the Party Central Committee. ”

"Okay, I'm relieved with your assurance."

After determining the situation of the Central Military Commission's column and the first division, General Zhu Wei turned around and prepared to deal with the world's first brigade; although he did not think much of the people's party's first brigade in the world, it was also a political battle to reduce the people's party's arrogance.

Since it is a political battle, it must be fought well, so that the people of the whole country know the strength of the workers' and peasants' Red Army.

Liu Zhidan's Third Division failed to get the task of interspersing behind enemy lines, but this time he was determined to win the first brigade in the world. After hearing Mr. Zhu Wei say that this was a political battle, he rushed to hand over the task to them.

Seeing his positive appearance, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but smile, now on the frontal battlefield, the strength of the fourth and fifth divisions is very scattered, each regiment is guarding important intersections, and the only mobile force is only the third division, who else can they use.

After briefly criticizing Liu Zhidan, Mr. Zhu immediately assigned a task, the 113th Regiment of the Fifth Division still stayed in Sunjiachuan to confront the attack of the First Brigade of the World, and the Third Division assigned two regiments to insert the rear of the Kuantaigou Gate from both flanks to block the retreat of the First Brigade of the World and annihilate the First Brigade of the World near the Kuantaigou Gate.

After receiving the order, Liu Zhidan quickly went down to arrange the task, and after Yang Jingtang's 107th Regiment made a surprise attack on Yanchi County, this time he got the task of intercepting the first brigade in the world, and he happily took the order and left.

When all parties were operating, the time had already reached the early hours of the morning, and Li Tiejun saw that the time had come, so he ordered the artillery to open fire, and the infantry also followed the artillery artillery to start charging at the same time.

The tactics of infantry and artillery coordination began to appear after the appearance of artillery, and have been developed for many years, at this time the European battlefield has gradually declined, but it is still a very effective tactic in the Far Eastern theater, although the reason is simple, there are very few troops that can play and play well, only the Japanese army is one of the best.

Although the First Brigade of the World has only learned a little bit, it is already very remarkable among the domestic warlord forces, and has always been praised by Chang Kaishen as a model of the People's Revolutionary Army.

At the beginning of the offensive, the 1st Brigade of the World showed a tactical quality far beyond that of the 8th Division of the 37th Army, and its cooperation in all aspects was in order.

However, if we compare it with the current Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, it is inevitably a bit of a class axe, there is no clear artillery guidance in the dark night, and the shells fired are almost flying randomly, except for the momentum, there is not much threat to the defensive positions of the Red Army.

"Rush, ......"

"Kill......"

"Brothers, the reward for killing a red bandit army is 100 silver, and the reward for killing a red bandit officer is 1,000 silver, after this village, there will be no such shop, and those who want to make a fortune will be rushed......"

In a burst of rushing and killing, the first brigade in the world finally rushed to the front of the Red Army position, and at the same time was met by the Red Army position on the 113th regiment's fierce counterattack, because the 113th Regiment has been holding back and not fighting, put them 50 meters before they began to return fire, the dense firepower instantly rushed to the front of the first brigade soldiers were stunned, the Red Army's firepower was so fierce.

The Red Army's position was full of firepower, and the attack of the 1st Brigade had to be temporarily stopped, and after recovering its senses, it wanted to continue the charge, but found that there were bullets everywhere above its head, which made people feel as chilled as rain, and if they raised their bodies slightly, they would be blown off by bullets.

In such a situation, who dared to get up and charge, all of them lay on their stomachs and did not dare to move, thinking that the 37th Army did not deliberately brag, and the firepower of the Red Army was really powerful and terrifying.

When the attack of the First Brigade was blocked, Li Tiejun was imagining the glory after the victory in his own headquarters, but he did not expect that not long after the battle began, he received the news that the attack was blocked, which could not help but make him angry.

The anger in his heart was irrepressible, and Li Tiejun immediately called the signal soldier and said: "Tell me Yuan Pu and Xiong Zhiyi, organize a second attack immediately, and if you can't take the position of the Red Bandit Army before dawn, don't come back to see me." ”
