This battle, which made the entire Longhua situation increasingly tense because of a presidential position, continued to replenish the troops of both sides to the Central Plains front. From the initial confrontation between the reconnaissance forces of the two sides, it expanded to a skirmish between the opposing forces, and finally launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the opposite position of the Beiyi Army as if the three allied forces were undeclared war.

Subsequently, the artillery unit of the Northern Yi Army, which was also in place, unceremoniously retaliated with a tooth for a tooth. When the two sides ended the artillery battle, a bloody and brutal tearing finally brought the originally calm situation in Longhua Kingdom to the brink of melee.

In view of the fact that the Central Plains War was as Xu Bin expected, and finally started to fight in the Central Plains on the land where the soldiers must fight, Xu Bin immediately launched a campaign to regain the land under the command of the Gannan Army. This battle will be the first time that the Xu Jiajun has begun to appear in the ranks of warlords in Longhua. Therefore, Xu Bin gave only one order to his subordinates, that is, only victory and not defeat.

Fighting a battle related to the life and death of Xu's army undoubtedly requires Xu Bin to perfect Jihua to every step, and at this moment, when the attention of all parties is turned to the Central Plains War, Xu Bin began to issue a combat readiness mobilization order to the guerrillas who were deployed to various parts of Gannan in advance.

The guerrilla brigades were ordered to begin to prepare for battle after receiving the order, and at the same time cooperate with the regular troops of the Xu Jiajun who had been pulled out from the base area to secretly fight, and to occupy Anzhou and Changzhou, which were close to Linzhou, as low and quickly as possible. Complete the siege of the capital of the hero city of Gannan.

It was this order that was issued, and when Qi Lin saw that this was a combat readiness mobilization order issued by the headquarters, he immediately said to Situ Baili, who had also glanced at the telegram just now: "General Situ, I'm really sorry, I have military affairs to do now. Therefore, I can't accompany you for the time being, I hope you can stop here for two days, and if you need anything, you can ask Miss Ruyun to do it. ”

guessed that this was the beginning of the battle for the recovery of Gannan by the Xu family's army, and Situ Baili also wanted to see what kind of arrangements Xu Bin would make in this battle.

When Qi Lin and the orderlies quickly arrived at the headquarters of the detachment, they immediately sent people to gather Situ Qingyun and other officers from the base area. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Qi Lin also said with a serious face: "The headquarters has sent a strategic mobilization order, and I need to rush to the brigade to hold a military intelligence meeting now."

When I did not bring back the order of the brigade, I gathered all the detachments of the detachment and issued a warning order to the village protection teams at the same time. In the past few days of my absence, Comrade Situ Qingyun has temporarily assumed the post of detachment leader, and you must obey unconditionally. Can it be done? ”

For this rapid promotion, it can be said that it is fast, but they are all young deputy detachment leaders who have accumulated combat exploits, and before everyone can answer Situ Qingyun, they immediately said: "Detachment leader, this is not appropriate, right?" ”

Qi Lin raised his hand and said, "I know in my heart whether it's okay or not, you just need to know that this is my order." Remember, don't start the battle lightly while I bring back the next battle order from headquarters. I dare to predict that the battle to recover Anju, which we have been looking forward to, may soon begin.

Therefore, if you want to get rid of this bandit hat on your head and become a soldier of the Xu family army who is truly admired by the people, then bear with it for a while! When Anzhou is taken, I will truthfully ask the brigade and the headquarters to ask for credit for you. Well, if you have no objection to my appointment, then I'll go. ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, even the deputy captain of the recruit who was transferred from the headquarters agreed that Situ Qingyun's ability was indeed stronger than him. Therefore, he is also willing to cooperate with Situ Qingyun to do a good job in the work of the Dulongshan guerrilla detachment.

In this regard, Situ Qingyun was deeply moved, and at the same time, he also made up his mind to give the Dulongshan guerrilla detachment a big name in this battle to outsiders.

As Qi Lin rode a war horse accompanied by two guards, and quickly assembled the Anzhou guerrilla brigade, in the military intelligence command room of Lianbing Mountain, Xu Bin looked at the regimental-level officers in place under his command. Xu Jiacheng, who was the commander of the guard battalion and the attendant officer, began to announce the battle jihua that he had formulated with his adviser a few days ago.

Watching Xu Jiacheng open the folder and say 'order', all the regiment leaders were established, staring at Xu Jiacheng with a serious face. I hope that from the mouth of the other party, I can hear that the main force can take on this battle. You must know that now Xu Jiajun has two brigade commanders, and the rest are still regimental commanders. Therefore, if these regiment commanders want to upgrade to another level, it means that they need to make up for their combat exploits.

'The First Army, marched into Anzhou, cooperated with the local guerrilla forces, recovered the entire territory of Anzhou and prepared for the surprise attack of the revolutionary army. The troops who led the team to carry out this combat mission were Bai Diantang, the former commander of the New Second Regiment, and Zhou Dingbian, the former commander of the New Third Regiment, who cooperated with the Second Battalion of the Artillery Regiment, with a total strength of 5,000 troops, and temporarily merged with the Anzhou guerrillas to form the Anzhou Brigade.

The brigade commander was temporarily appointed by Bai Diantang, and the deputy brigade commander was Zhou Dingbian, and the order was issued within two days of marching to Anzhou. Cooperate with the guerrilla brigade to launch a raid and capture battle in various cities. Cut off the material supply line of the Anzhou defense force, force the Gannan Army on the front line as much as possible, and wait for the next order of the headquarters to collect the resettlement work. ’

Hearing that the first order was obtained by Bai Diantang and Zhou Dingbian, the regiment leaders present were undoubtedly full of envy for Bai Diantang and Zhou Dingbian. Once they succeed in this battle, the hats of the two regiment commanders may be promoted together. Becoming the third and fourth brigades of the Xu Jiajun is a rare good thing!

Bai Diantang, who took over the battle plan from Xu Jiacheng's hands, also felt that this prospective son-in-law was interesting enough, and if there were good things, he would not forget his share as a prospective father-in-law. But he also knew that this had a lot to do with the fact that he was stationed at Eagle's Beak Rock, so that the revolutionary army did not dare to set a step. To put it bluntly, even if he is Xu Bin's father-in-law, if he doesn't have the exploits to make a move, he will not be able to convince people.

The Second Route Army, marching into Changzhou, cooperating with the local guerrilla forces, and doing a good job of blocking and responding to the entire territory of Changzhou after recovering the whole territory of Changzhou. Leading the team in carrying out the task of this operation were Liu Zicheng, the former commander of the new 1st Regiment, and Huang Dong, the commander of the 4th New Regiment, who cooperated with the 3rd Battalion of the Artillery Regiment, with a total strength of 5,000 troops, and temporarily merged with the Changzhou Guerrilla Brigade to form the Changzhou Brigade.

The brigade commander was Liu Zicheng, and the deputy brigade commander was Huang Dong. When the guerrilla brigade launched a harassment and sabotage war against the cities, it moved to the cities of Changzhou and captured the entire territory of Changzhou in one fell swoop. In front of Changzhou, Dafeng Mountain, a blocking position was set up to prevent the Gannan Army from counterattacking. ’

The two regiment commanders who got the mission order were naturally very happy, but everyone was curious. These four regimental-level units, which can be described as middle and upper reaches, have all had combat orders. And the 1st and 2nd brigades, which have the strongest combat capability, don't they have tasks?

Soon Xu Jiacheng said: "The first brigade of the Xu family army, with the Du Liren Department of the Fifth Regiment of recruits, and the fourth battalion of artillery, will wait for the day when the war in Anzhou subsides." Quickly send troops to attack Yudufu, and march into Jiangdu as appropriate, and seize the port of Jiangdu.

Take control of the coal mines and steel factories in Jiangdu, and there will be local guerrillas to cooperate with the intelligence services. The specific operational command is held by Wang Erscar, commander of the 1st Brigade. ”

Hearing that he had finally received a combat mission, it was still possible to attack the big battle in the land of the two provinces, which made Wang Erscar, who had never had a fight with the revolutionary army last time, somewhat happy.

After issuing the combat mission of the first brigade, Xu Jiacheng looked at several regiment-level commanders who were still eager and said: "The third regiment of the Xu Jiajun, the new sixth regiment and the new seventh regiment have been temporarily merged into the Shangjing Brigade. Cooperate with the Changzhou Brigade to recover the entire territory of Changzhou, and immediately march to Shangjingfu after completing the first step of the battle. In the upper scene, an effective defensive position was formed to block the invasion of enemy troops on Qiantang Road and Pingfei Road.

The brigade commander was Chen Zhengdao, the commander of the third regiment, and the deputy brigade commanders were Hao Si and Zheng Yicheng. In the same way, there will be local guerrilla troops to cooperate and guide the march, which is also described in the specific battle plan order. And in order to strengthen the firepower of your department, the 1st Artillery Battalion will follow you. ”

After saying these orders, Xu Jiacheng took out a letter of order and said: "The Second Brigade of the Xu Family Army, there is no combat mission for the time being, and the regiments of the Second Brigade will take over the defensive positions in various parts of the base area. Cooperate with the security regiments of various cities to do a good job in stabilizing the combat readiness of the base areas. Once necessary, arrangements will be made according to changes in the military situation.

At the same time, the rest of the artillery regiment also needs to do a good job of combat readiness training for defensive counterattacks when the four main battalions are withdrawn. For the time being, the headquarters of the Eighth Regiment will not change the original training Jihua, but the next destination of your unit's training will be in Ningzhou and Ganzhou, which are controlled by the revolutionary army. As for the recruits who have not completed their training at the training mountain, they will continue to train as usual and are waiting for reorganization. The order is over! ”

Hearing that the Second Brigade had no combat mission and stayed in the base area, Li Chengbing, as the commander of the Second Brigade, had known about this situation for a long time. In order to make this henchman of the father's period not have any opinions on this, Xu Bin specially explained to him before the meeting. Although they could not fight, the task of defending the base was no less daunting.

After the order was issued, Xu Bin, who already had the temperament of a superior, stood up from his seat and said: "The Anzhou Brigade and the Changzhou Brigade are the outpost brigades of the whole army.

Therefore, after you go down, in addition to straightening out the relationship between the regiments, the most important thing is to control the situation between the two places as much as possible before the Gannan Army reacts, so as to provide support for the next operation of the follow-up 1st Brigade and the Shangjing Brigade. Whether we can replace the Gannan Army or not depends on this battle.

So after you go back, do a good job of pre-war mobilization, this big war will be bloody and cruel. But for the sake of our Xu Jiajun's long-term future, I hope you will tell the officers and soldiers under your command not to be afraid of death, as long as I, Xu Bin and Xu Jiajun, exist for a day, I will take care of their aftermath. There is a way to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, if anyone dares to be afraid of war at this time, it will affect the morale of the army and kill no Hao! ”

Looking at Xu Bin, who said these words with murderous anger, it was the first time that he used such harsh words to his subordinates, and the commanders present knew it. For this battle, Xu Bin really has great expectations, hoping that the overall situation can be determined in one battle, and it is a battle for survival that can only be won and not defeated!
