Chapter 558 If you want to fight, you will hurt him (5)

7Go to the grassy and thorny mountainside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and on the road under the mountain, a bloody mist appeared in the head of the leader of the cavalry patrol, and there was no shout. As soon as they fell under their horses, the eight cavalry scouts raised their pistols and machine guns and fired in panic in the direction of the guns, and the two angry cavalrymen rode their horses into the path down the mountain, trying to shorten the distance and find the sniper who was shooting cold guns, but before they could rush to the foot of the mountain, a huge explosion rang out, and the two horses and the scouts on the horse rose into the sky with the rising gunsmoke, and the shrapnel shredded limbs flew far away.

In the chaos, there was another crisp gunshot. Another scout who quickly turned around fell in response. The war horse man under the crotch jumped up and galloped north like crazy, and the remaining four catties, the scout no longer had the slightest courage to fight back, and turned the horse's head in horror, and fled in panic, and when he returned to the camp, he still couldn't figure out where the person who fired the cold gun was.

Pang Bingxun, a veteran general in Nanyang City, was almost mad when he heard the news, and in the past 19 days, the patrols under his command have been frequently attacked, and the four former camps in Xinye and Nazhou have been attacked or burned by small units of the Fifth Army Corps, and the total number of officers and men of the scouts and patrol squads who have been sporadically annihilated has exceeded 400, and half of the officers and men who were attacked were killed by a shot by an elusive opponent, and more than 300 seriously injured people who were carried back to the camp for first aid were mostly injured by powerful and unpreventable high-power mines, due to lack of medical treatment. These elite soldiers who were tasked with reconnaissance tasks could only groan in pain and wait for death, which made the entire Second Route officers and soldiers rumored, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. No division or brigade dared to send a patrol out of the barracks five kilometers away, and Pang Bingxun and his deputies, who were originally confident about the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, suddenly became blind and deaf; what was even worse was that with the death of two regiment commanders of the Eighth Division of the Xinye Temporary, the officers and men of the whole army turned from anger to fear, and the breath of death, which could not be seen and touched, and was so oppressive that it could not be touched, shrouded over the heads of every officer and soldier.

For this kind of angry but unguardable conspiracy attack, Pang Bingxun and his staff officers have never encountered it before, this time it was suddenly born, the Second Route Army racked their brains up and down, still helpless, the heavy search was all in vain, only to increase casualties, increase the number of scouts, with fast cavalry to replace it will not work, even if the horse runs faster than the bullet,-for-tat sent three groups of elite soldiers to wait for the rabbit, and finally all of them are dead in the wilderness thugs, the house said, small like a meat bun to beat the dog has no return.

The ghostly opponent not only calmly searched for weapons, but also did not leave the belts around the waists of the officers and soldiers who were attacked. There is no longer a sense of security on the roads that used to be unimpeded, no one knows where the despicable and crazy enemy will bury the devastating mines, and whether the sharpshooters with accurate marksmanship and the ease of probing for people's lives hundreds of meters away are hiding in the hills and forests on both sides of the road. Every dry ditch, every broken ruin, has the potential to hide enemy sharpshooters, killers dressed in strange costumes, completely integrated with their surroundings, nowhere to be found but everywhere, and the atmosphere of terror is deep and spreading.

In the general headquarters of the Xiangfan front, An Yi, who had changed into a summer camouflage combat uniform, rolled his sleeves above the elbow joint, and gathered around a huge sand table with his generals, quietly listening to the explanations of the chief of intelligence and the chief of operations. Not to mention the hills and obvious references within the territory of the theater of operations.

Chief of Staff Zhao Rui took the baton from the chief of operations and began to make a final summary:

"Through the 20-day special operations of the special brigades of the three divisions, our goal has been basically achieved, and every enemy garrison is under the close supervision of the headquarters and the reconnaissance groups of each division, and the enemy in Xinye has newly constructed two lines of defense about a kilometer apart, and the enemy in Dengzhou has contracted to defend the enemy. Relatively strong civil fortifications were built in the towns of Longyan and Taoying, within 10 kilometers to the south of the city, and a six-kilometer-long arc-shaped defensive trench was excavated.

From the analysis of the enemy's combat situation and the distribution of troops, it can be determined that the enemy has adopted a passive defensive position helplessly at least in the near future. Therefore. Our large-scale combat plan thugs, the house said, small can be opened

Finish.

The following is read out the order of the corps headquarters: General Yin Jinan is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Left Route Army, General Nacheng is the chief of staff of the Left Route Army, under the jurisdiction of the 16th Division, the 44th Division, and the New 9th Division of the 44th Army, and the 1st Provisional Division of the Corps is the reserve; General Zhu Shigui was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Right Route Army, and General Zhang Cunzhuang was appointed chief of staff of the Right Route Army, with the 17th Division, the New 10th Division of the 44th Army, and the 1st Division of the 44th Army as the reserve. General Fan Shisheng, commander of the Jingxiang Garrison Command, was appointed commander-in-chief of the Reserve Corps, which had four brigades: the First Yichang Garrison Brigade, the Jingzhou First Garrison Brigade, the Xiangyang First Garrison Brigade, and the Second Brigade. ”

The generals laughed excitedly, and Yin Jinan, who was dense and meticulous in his work, pulled Gu Changfeng, Deng Bin, deputy commander of the 44th Army, Wei Yangxin, commander of the New Ninth Division of the 44th Army, and Ding Zhicheng, commander of the 1st Provisional Division, pointed to the front and back of Nazhou on the sand table, and discussed in a low voice, Zhu Shigui, commander of the 17th Division, Zhang Cunzhuang, chief of staff of the 44th Army, Zhang Shaodong, commander of the New 10th Division, Tan Liangde, commander of the 1st Teaching Division, and other generals gathered together to have a final discussion on the offensive of their Right Route Army.

Fan Shisheng looked at the Dongqing generals who were full of tigers and tigers, shook his head and sighed slightly, came to An Yi, who was holding his hands on the edge of the sand table and carefully observing the terrain, and said in a low voice:

"Commander, all the 110,000 elite soldiers of the seven divisions have been drawn to one, and it is more than enough to deal with more than 50,000 men and horses of Pang Bingxun's Second Route Army, and I, the commander of the reserve corps, may only be able to do some work as a grain supervisor."

"Uncle Quan, this is not necessarily! come

An Yi led Fan Shisheng to the large map behind him, pointed to a certain one and said: "Look at the three newly formed divisions of the Northwest Army gathered on the front line of Luoyang and Zhengzhou, all of which were donated by Yan Xishan's Jinyu Army, and there is also an independent artillery regiment equipped with twelve 122 caliber howitzers. Originally, their reinforcement direction was the first line of Maozhou or Lanfeng, if our side fought. I'm afraid that these three divisions will turn around and come west to reinforce Nanyang. However, if we can attract these three divisions, we will achieve our strategic goal.

Now the younger generation is most worried about Liu Ruming's department in the direction of Shaanxi, please see here Shangnan to Huangguan line stationed Liu Ruming's rear corps of the three divisions, because "the warlord Yang Sen in the north is indecisive, unwilling to fight before the battle situation is clear, the pole tears his face." Therefore, Liu Ruming Zongcang can calmly mock the two or four divisions, and Xiaoyue Baiyang will reinforce them, and they will not let us occupy the important land of Nanyang no matter what.

Therefore, as soon as the war begins, the headquarters of the Northwest Army is likely to judge the situation and quickly deploy heavy troops. From the east and west roads at the same time to the south of the line. At that time, our troops will not have the advantage, the transportation line will be lengthened again, and what is even worse is that the mound is covered with a dense water network and the Heavy Armament Department will not be able to pull it up, and the entire theater will face the stormy attack of the Northwest Army. The pressure to withstand will not be generally great, therefore. There is a good chance that Uncle Quan's reserve army will be used.

In order to be on the safe side, the juniors have already asked for help from the security forces of General Guangguang and General Yang Bin in Nanchang, and within three days, two brigades of security forces and a batch of ammunition and materials will be transferred from the waterway, which is estimated to be in time to catch up with the fleet of the Jiangnan Shipping Company transporting grain, and then the juniors will let them leave two patrol speedboats and a ferry. So that Uncle Quan can form a water garrison brigade of the garrison headquarters. After the arrival of reinforcements and a large number of supplies. All kinds of affairs will become extremely heavy, and Uncle Quan will have to work hard

Fan Shisheng patted An Yi's shoulder gratefully: "Alas! Your principal took away my 51st Division number, and your protégé today gave me military salaries and material funds to form a garrison of three brigades, and I am so grateful! Although there is no central army number, the strength of our department has not been damaged but has been strengthened, and even the military uniforms have been changed to the same as yours, and the brothers in the department are very grateful. So, you can give orders with confidence. ”

"Uncle Quan, this time the treatment of your unit's change of outfit and keeping the three garrison brigades was not given by the juniors, but was specially ordered by the commander-in-chief, starting from March. The monthly military expenditure of the whole army is constantly rising. As of this month, it has reached 15 million yuan per month, and the commander-in-chief of Xiaoyue has allocated as much as 3.8 million yuan to my Fifth Army, of which 800,000 yuan is designated for Uncle Quan's department to change clothes, and the juniors are just sending a few boats and a few guns. Uncle Quan doesn't need to take it to heart. After this battle, Uncle Quan can refer to the relevant methods of the Yichang Garrison Command to start collecting taxes and self-sufficiency, and Chief He of the Yichang camp will be sympathetic to the Jingxiang garrison. An Yi comforted in a low voice.

Fan Shisheng nodded with emotion: "I know all this, but if you hadn't interceded for us repeatedly, I'm afraid Commander-in-Chief Jiang wouldn't have remembered us, and we took this love to heart." Rest assured, our department will go all out to support the officers and men of the left and right armies in this battle, and you will give orders if you have any requirements! ”

"Good! Uncle Dan, the juniors asked Uncle Quan to command the brigades of the reserve corps to build two fortifications in these two choke points, the specific fortification construction plan has been completed, and it will be handed over to Uncle Quan later, the fifty-four firepower points are all reinforced concrete structures, the amount of work is not small, and the entire project is required to be completed within ten days. Uncle Quan. Are you sure? An Yi pointed to the map and asked sincerely.

Fan Shisheng's eyes widened, obviously taken aback: "What? After a battle, the armies on the left and right will retreat? ”

"Yes, the younger generation is unwilling to do senseless troop consumption, although we have the advantage of waiting for work, equipment and training are far better than the other party, but it is not worth fighting with the soldiers of the Northwest Army at the end of the road, let alone caring about the gains and losses of one city and one place, everything is aimed at annihilating the enemy's living force, and it is naturally ours to cripple his territory.

If Liu Ruming's troops don't come, we will occupy Nazhou, storm Nanyang, and fight a tough battle with the Northwest Army to see whose fists are harder. If he comes to the aid urgently, we will retreat to the border between the two provinces, and rely on the advantageous terrain to hold the two passages of northern and northwest Hubei.

It is estimated that Liu Ruming will not be stupid enough to attack the fortifications. Moreover, it is impossible for him to stay his troops on the front line in southwestern Henan for a long time, so that the defense of the whole of Shaanxi is extremely empty, and there is a danger that it will be occupied by the warlords of various departments in Sichuan or the internal rebel forces.

Compared with. The reason why the younger generation wants to retreat is to exhaust the enemy's financial, material and physical resources, lengthen the enemy's transportation line, and let the long front make several divisions of the Northwest Army rushing to the front line of Nanyang exhausted and unable to advance and retreat, and then find the right time to attack suddenly and give him two blows. Annihilate one or two of his divisions, and the rest of the battle will be easy to fight. An Yi revealed his plan to Fan Shisheng.

Fan Shisheng finally saw An Yi's level, sighed at the map, and even praised the clever plan, and finally couldn't help but worry about the Northwest Army:

"If Liu Ruming really dares to transfer troops to the east. I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back, and it is estimated that the three divisions in Luoyang and Zhengzhou will make General Feng Huanzhang feel distressed. Look at his arrangement, these three catties. The division was originally intended to be used in the southeast of Henan to deal with our Third Army Corps, if these three divisions are forced to support the Nanyang war in the future, the situation in the southeast of Henan of the Northwest Army will be tight, as long as our Third Army seizes the favorable opportunity to defeat one of the Northwest Army's 100-mile front, General Feng Huanzhang will not be able to return to the sky, and then it will affect the Jin Luo Army in the Qilu battlefield. As soon as the Northwest Army is shaken, the commander-in-chief can calmly dispatch a few divisions to aid the Qilu battlefield, and the balance of forces between the two sides will be broken

An Yi smiled slightly: "That's right." So. The Commander-in-Chief had high expectations for my Fifth Corps. During this time, every day I called to urge the juniors to start the offensive as soon as possible, and the juniors all delayed before the time came, and now the second army of Commander Liu Jingfu was seriously frustrated, and the consumption was very hard to fight, two catties, and the total number of battle losses on both sides of the enemy and us in the main battlefield was as high as 400,000, so the juniors will not be able to fight here, and if they don't fight, I am afraid that the commander-in-chief will shoot the juniors. ”

Fan Shisheng laughed: "Don't be humble. If the Commander-in-Chief is willing to shoot you, your protégé. I'm afraid that many generals have already fallen to the ground! Time is urgent, I won't say more, give me the little book, I will immediately mobilize troops to start the preparations before the construction, even if I fight for my life, I will complete all the projects within ten days! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Quan! After this battle, the younger generation will accompany Uncle Quan to Lao Nanchang for a trip, and my old Dao and Wanshou Palace Songjian Dao will definitely talk to Uncle Quan. Uncle Quan is proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, so he happened to have a discussion with them, An Yi said with a smile.

Fan Shisheng, who likes to study drugs and medical science, was very excited: "Songjian is the first mobile phone in Jiangnan Xinglin, and talking counts."

"A word is a certainty". An Yi replied solemnly. (To be continued) the latest chapter of Iron Bone
