Anqing is the last gateway to Tianjing, and Tianjing's materials, food, and land routes must be supplied through Anhui. It was precisely because Liu Yuan clearly realized this that he ordered the troops to take Anqing as the first battle after entering Anhui, and prepared to open a breakthrough at one time to prepare for the eastward expedition to Nanjing.

And Feng Yuxiang also knew very well that if Liu Yuan was allowed to take Anqing, then not only would Chiang Kai-shek find trouble for himself, but even if he wanted to occupy Anhui Ye, it was not so simple, so he sent a tiger general to guard Anqing, he was Sun Liangcheng, the word Liangchen, a native of Jinghai, Tianjin, known as the Five Tiger Generals.

Sun Liangcheng is not a figure he wants to talk to, since the day he was stationed in Anqing, he has publicly spoken that if Liu Yuan comes to Anqing, he will be told to sink into the sand.

But he never thought that Liu Yuan's attack came so quickly, like a storm, and as soon as he set up camp, the attack on the opposite side had already begun.

Sun Lianzhong really regretted it, he originally thought that he would wait and see and reap the benefits later, but he never thought that Liu Yuan would be so ruthless and leave half of his troops in Dabie Mountain to accept the reorganization.

The other half continued to be led by himself, and at the same time transferred 20,000 people in Dabie Mountain, on the surface it seems that he is promoted, but in fact he knows it very well. Liu Yuan did this, although he was increasing the number of his army, but on the one hand, these 20,000 people were all newcomers recruited by Jiang Xianyun, and on the other hand, he would let himself participate in the big war and consume himself in the near future.

Sure enough, Sun Lianzhong found out that he had been recruited, and he originally thought that shooting Feng Yuxiang's pistol team would already be regarded as a vote, but Sun Lianzhong didn't expect that Liu Yuan still didn't believe in himself and let himself continue to participate in high-intensity battles.

Liu Yuan took more than 100 large ships and 80,000 troops to surround Anqing in one day. At the same time, Sun Lianzhong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the siege, and in desperation, Sun Lianzhong could only command the troops to attack.

More than 20,000 people climbed to the city with a ladder like this, Sun Liangcheng was not a vegetarian, there were more than 20,000 troops defending the city alone, and even if Sun Lianzhong was exhausted, it was impossible to attack the city.

However, there was one thing that Sun Lianzhong didn't expect that after he attacked continuously for a morning, these recruits assigned by Jiang Xianyun to him, although the losses were not small, they still insisted on fighting, unlike the old men he brought, who only lost one-fifth of their troops, and they were already about to lose their combat effectiveness.

This is just an ordinary army, if it is the Tenth Group Army, what will it look like, it seems that although Liu Yuan's troops are inferior to Feng Yuxiang in numbers, they are significantly superior to Feng Yuxiang in terms of the quality of soldiers.

Thinking of this, Sun Lianzhong didn't want to continue to work for Feng Yuxiang, first of all, half of his soldiers did not belong to him, and the other was that Liu Yuan really trusted himself, and he gave 20,000 soldiers who could fight when he first came, what kind of treatment is this, although there is a suspicion of letting himself be a voter.

But he has been fighting with Sun Liangcheng for a morning, even if he can go back in the future, he has offended the old brothers of the Northwest Army, how will he deal with himself at that time.

Thinking of this, Sun Lianzhong gritted his teeth and decided to fight with Sun Liangcheng and win a rich game. It was at this time that someone approached his command.

"General Sun Lianzhong, in view of the fact that your troops have suffered too much losses in the siege, it is enough for our department to temporarily take the place of the main attack, and your department to temporarily serve as an auxiliary attacker." Guan Linzheng was dressed in a tweed military uniform, with a big cap, and the Venus on his shoulders shining, and he walked with a tiger, Rao is Sun Lianzhong became famous early, and he couldn't help but secretly praise him, a good tiger general.

"General Guan Linzheng, our new Second Army still has combat effectiveness, why don't we continue to serve as the main attacker." Sun Lianzhong was secretly lucky, but he was obedient in his mouth.

Guan Linzheng is a pure rough man, and he is about to go to the battlefield, there is so much time to ponder, so he said, "Our Tenth Army is humane, if you let you continue to fight with such a big loss, when the time comes, who will dare to come and join us, let you keep attacking the city, we have a chance to perform, and General Sun Lianzhong, I suggest you communicate with your subordinates more, you are not very familiar with them."

After finishing speaking, he left Sun Lianzhong's headquarters, Guan Linzheng's adjutant hurriedly walked to Sun Lianzhong's side and said, "Our army commander is this temper, don't be angry, he doesn't mean to disrespect you, it's just that he hasn't participated in the big war for a long time, and his psychology is very anxious." ”

Sun Lianzhong had heard of this, he had heard a long time ago that Liu Yuan had a tiger general named Guan Linzheng, and he thought that he had died in battle, but he didn't expect to appear in front of him again.

"It's okay, my Sun Lianzhong is not the kind of person with a small belly, but how should we cooperate with you to fight?" Sun Lianzhong asked.

"Oh, General Sun Lianzhong, in fact, it is enough for our new army to have the main battlefield here, I think if you really want to make meritorious contributions, you might as well go to the commander-in-chief, the new combat mission should be waiting for smart people to receive it!" After saying that, he gave a military salute and left.

Sun Lianzhong looked at the adjutant who left, and was so envious, why are Liu Yuan's subordinates all talents, and he has nothing, Sun Lianzhong didn't dare to ask for it before, for fear that Liu Yuan sent someone to monitor him.

But seeing that what he said just now was reasonable, unrestrained and arrogant, and he also tactfully reminded himself to let him go to Liu Yuan to receive a new task, although he did not allow himself to participate in their battles, but he also gave himself enough face, and it seemed that there was any benefit to be gained, thinking of this, Sun Lianzhong decided that he would ask Liu Yuan to give him some officers.

Just when Sun Lianzhong was about to go to Liu Yuan, Guan Linzheng had already arrived at his headquarters, and all the division commanders were already waiting here.

"Grass, I didn't expect you guys to be alive." Guan Linzheng threw his hat on the table and stood on the fat side of the map with a big grin, "I think everyone knows that we won't be able to take this Anqing for a while, but why does the commander-in-chief want us to fight Anqing?" That is to constantly oppress Anqing, create the illusion that we will take Anqing at all costs, and let their other troops support Anqing, and what we have to do is to encircle the point and send reinforcements. ”

The division commander below nodded vigorously, and they agreed with Guan Linzheng when he spoke, but the regiment commander who had the trust of the Wuhan branch was not very interested in this arrogant commander.

asked the regiment commander next to him, "Hey, who is our army commander, why is he so arrogant, and he doesn't introduce himself, you look at Senior Jiang Xianyun, that elegant appearance, that bearing, how polite he is, no wonder people can command tens of thousands of troops, he is also a military commander, and he is not full." ”

"Shut up, can Jiang Xianyun compare with him? Jiang Xianyun is handsome, those who command the overall situation, but the one in front of us is the real general, follow him, you will be happy, I promise to let you go to heaven. ”

"What do you two say? When Lao Tzu is muddy. Guan Linzheng felt that after he left the army for a period of time, his influence had obviously become much smaller, if he was in the old army, who would dare to speak when he stood on the stage.

"Report to the army commander, there are many student officers in the army, who graduated from the Wuhan branch and were assigned, I don't know you, can you introduce yourself to them." The one who spoke was an old regiment leader, who had fought side by side with Guan Linzheng back then, and Guan Linzheng also knew him.

At this time, Guan Linzheng realized that he had been tricked by Liu Yuan, and his information had not been sent to commanders at all levels.

However, Guan Linzheng is also a fierce man, and this thing must be difficult for him, "You student soldiers don't even know Lao Tzu, but it doesn't matter, you will know each other when you go to the battlefield, but before that, I want to announce the battlefield discipline."

Those who dare to retreat without my order are killed, and those who do not personally go to the line of fire are killed without my order. "Guan Linzheng's two killing words bite very hard.

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the command headquarters, and the old regiment commander next to him pointed to the recruits and counted them down, "You are crazy, in the Tenth Group Army, who else can be so domineering, his name is Guan Linzheng, the word Yudong, remember it as a soldier under his hands, you will definitely be happy." ”
