Chapter 278: On the battlefield

After Xu Zhengting personally watched his henchmen send Su Ruo away, he was immediately recalled to the office building.

Almost all the army commanders, division commanders, and chiefs of staff in Lindong gathered here, including Xu Shoufan, who had not shown up for a long time, and everyone was discussing what to do next.

On the day of the fall of Nanshankou, Xu Shoufan immediately mobilized his team for a counterattack, wanting to wrap up the dumplings of the Huang cavalry who rushed in with Xu Zhengyan's second army.

However, in addition to Huang Shaoyan's two armies, the attack of the Huang family was resolute in their firepower, and the other troops were still in a wait-and-see attitude, and for a while, there was a distance of dozens of kilometers between the forward and the rearguard, which was a great opportunity.

As a result, Zhang Beihe of the Eighth Army rushed up with two divisions, but was cut off by Huang Shaoyan's cavalry, and was suddenly overwhelmed, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

After resting for a day, he attacked again, not only did he not receive the effect of eating a trench and growing wise, but he was confused by Huang Shaoyan's several counter-charges, and retreated to Nanshan Pass in embarrassment, and did not rush forward again.

The big guy had different opinions, but Xu Zhengting was just discussing something in a low voice with the people around him, and he was playing with the ring on his hand, and the appearance of his facial expression made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

To be precise, since Murong Haoyu got that moth, his face has not looked good, and what's even worse is that the group of people sitting here have mocked him.

In the end, things reversed, coupled with Lu Shiyu's death by jumping off the building, it can be said that this place has been shrouded in a low pressure recently, and I am afraid that Xu Zhengting will be in a bad mood and let you leave directly.

And Lu Shiyu's father resigned directly, and he was hit too hard and just wanted to stay at home. Later, I don't know what Xu Zhengting said about him, and then Lu Nanyu came to replace this position.

Originally, those army commanders and division commanders didn't dare to say anything when they looked at Xu Zhengting. One is that the backbone Xu Zhengyan is not there, and the other is that Zhang Beihe went up to take the lead but retreated in disgrace.

If it weren't for Xu Zhengting's two artillery regiments, I am afraid that they would not even be able to withdraw.

At this time, seeing Xu Zhengting's indifferent appearance, a fire rose in his heart. I secretly felt that this little rabbit cub had won the last battle in Nanshan Pass, and with a few cannons, there was no one in his eyes.

Especially this time, he actually found that Yang Anhuai from Lijiang, what does this mean?

Xu Shoufan and Zeng Zhi were both old-fashioned soldiers, and now the senior officers in Lindong include Zeng Zhi's subordinates when he was an official in the first dynasty, as well as subordinates left by the previous overseer, most of whom are old officers, and even bandits and hooligans who have been recruited.

At that time, no matter what people did, they all talked about putting righteousness first.

Fighting a war will only blindly fight fiercely, and there are only a few tactics that have been repeated over and over again, and now more than 20 years have passed, and there has been no change, and this alone has fallen behind.

And most of the people they promoted were old relatives and friends, protΓ©gΓ©s, so this group of people always gave people a feeling of continuity, and Xu Zhengting has always disdained this.

And they are also disdainful of people like Yang Anhuai, who study new types of military methods.

It is said that Yang Anhuai was also a well-known talent back then, and it was really not easy for a blacksmith from the army to get this title later.

His talent lies not in his writing and writing, but in his study of military affairs.

In the army for more than 20 years, he not only read the Analects, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the Art of War. He even taught himself various Chinese languages, and read all the military works of those foreigners in the dictionary.

Looking at the whole country, is there a second person who can do it?

The so-called love for martial arts is a person like him.

Yang Anhuai has a lot of experience, but his temperament is upright and violent, so his popularity is not good, and even Zeng Zhi and Xu Shoufan, who have always been gentle, are very disliked.

Therefore, he was squeezed out in the army in every way, and he could not be promoted again when he became the commander of the regiment, so he had to go to the Army University in the capital for further study.

Xu Shoufan only said that where did the twists and turns in Xiao Qi's mind come from, daring to be affectionate is Yang Anhuai's problem, and since the incident ten years ago, he has been even more indifferent to him.

As soon as Xu Zhengting returned to China, he invited Yang Anhuai to the officer training base in Lijiang to be the chief instructor, but it allowed him to avoid complicated personnel entanglements and start learning seriously.

Now Xu Zhengting summoned him back from Lijiang, thinking that he wanted to use him as a military advisor and make a name for himself through this battle.

This time with Huang Jun, he was caught off guard. Although the two have a deep feud, they have not opened up like this for more than 20 years, although they lost the first battle.

So with the brainstorming and unity of a group of stinkers, the battle plan was reformulated.

One was that a large number of troops were transferred forward to defend the Nanshan Pass, and the other was to return to Huang Shaoyan's rear, avoiding his most elite Yunning Iron Cavalry, and then copied Huang Shaoyan's back road and beat his second uncle behind.

All of you here are from old soldiers, and if they are properly assigned, they each have their own tasks. And Xu Zhengting just drank tea and didn't see it, as if the tactics discussed by the two of them just now were all talked about and listened to the air.

No matter how Yang Anhuai gave him a look, he just didn't say a word.

It's not that Xu Zhengting is petty, but when this group of so-called army commanders and division commanders were discussing, they didn't count him at all, at most they coveted his cannons.

Those old soldiers naturally knew that they had to rely on artillery to deal with cavalry.

When it comes to artillery, it is naturally Xu Zhengting's business, although they look down on this little rabbit cub, but they have to admit that if they want to win, they can't do without Xu Xiaoqi's intervention.

Xu Shoufan suddenly asked, "Xiao Qi, what do you think?" ”

Suddenly, everyone stopped discussing and looked at Xu Zhengting in unison.

Xu Zhengting laughed lightly and said, "Haven't my father and uncle already arranged it?" ”

The tone was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Xu Shoufan was very patient: "So I ask you if you have any new ideas?" ”

Xu Zhengting was a little flattered, glanced at Yang Anhuai on the side, leaned lazily on the chair, and said, "I will cooperate with your uncles and uncles." ”

To say it is to say nothing.

Xu Shoufan understands his son's temperament quite well, and he also knows that what happened recently has made him really exhausted, and he will not pursue it at the moment.

"Xiao Qi, how long will it take for you to gather troops from Lijiang to Nanshankou?"

Xu Zhengting took a sip of tea calmly and said, "Two days, I can guarantee to rush to Nanshankou within two days." ”

As soon as these words came out, the army commanders and division commanders present were in an uproar.

Lijiang is more than 100 kilometers away from the Nanshankou area, and it took two days to assemble there, which is really incredible.

Looking at Xu Zhengting's face again, there was no expression of emotion, as if he was just expounding on a very calm matter.

Xu Shoufan frowned slightly, and then heard Xu Zhengting say:

"However, some time ago, there was a shortage of fuel, and I rushed to the fourth brother. The chariot regiment had to wait for the oil to come from the sea, and it would take some time. ”

Many people here didn't understand what Xu Zhengting meant by this, but they knew that he was going to send his elite troops, and those complete advanced equipment made them blush for I don't know how long.

Xu Shoufan frowned and said, "Then you should take care of the aftermath as soon as possible, and then give you Uncle Zhang the aftermath and cooperate." ”

"Yes."

Xu Zhengting couldn't deny it, the smile on his face became more and more cold, and after the meeting ended, he deliberately explained what Lu Nanyu was, and then left.

And Yang Anhuai also hated iron and steel, looked at him with disgust for a while, and then shook his hand and walked away.

Xu Zhengting shook his head helplessly, he still has that temperament after so many years. His chariot regiment naturally didn't lag behind because it ran out of gas, he just didn't want to fight hard with Huang Shaoyan.

He and Huang Shaoyan have been classmates for three years, and they really hated to see each other late. Although the two fathers have been friends for many years, they have not broken contact after they went home, especially since he can still find time to attend the wedding.

His second uncle, who married a Japanese daughter-in-law, is now in power, and he is also squeezed uncomfortably. Xu Zhengting believed that this battle was definitely not Huang Shaoyan's willingness, and he could see his intention to take Nanshan Pass and stop moving.

Obviously, he didn't want his second uncle to follow behind and pick up the cheap for nothing.

Xu Zhengting's army is all five or five formations, and it is the first part of the East City.

In addition to the two artillery regiments that were deployed to the front line early, the remaining four mechanized infantry regiments, led by Dong Ye, all set off together, and drove all the way from the Lijiang River to Wuyang in one day and night, and quickly spread out on the Wuyang line.

Just waiting for Xu Zhengting's order, he could immediately rush to the Nanshankou area from Wuyang.
