Chapter 155: The First Battle of the New Ninth Brigade
Grand Duke Furkman of the Tulip of the Lanlong Kingdom made a move.
As soon as he shot, it was the 60,000 elites of the Lan Army!
It didn't take long for the various departments of the Datang Expeditionary Force to send one news after another to the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force.
ββReport to Commander-in-Chief Zhai, our department is in the Kruger area, and found a field brigade of the Lan Army, with a strength of about 7,000 people, and our 1st Independent Brigade requests immediate combat!
- Report that the 2nd Regiment of our 2nd Independent Brigade was attacked by the Lan Army in the Marburg 3rd area.
-- Report that at 9 o'clock this morning, our 52nd Division was suddenly attacked by the Lan army on the 9th line in Leipzig, and our unit immediately fought fiercely with it and asked for air force assistance!

One by one, the news of the battle came.
Although Zhai Songpo, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, was a little anxious, there was no trace of fear on his face, more of an exuberance.
Yu Chenglong, chief of the General Staff, said in a deep voice: "Commander-in-chief, from 7 o'clock this morning to 9:50 a.m. now, the three-way army of our expeditionary force, with as many as 22 combat groups, has been attacked by the Lan army.
There are more than 7,000 troops in a brigade, and there are more than 400 people in a battalion with fewer troops, and the entire combat coverage is more than 300 kilometers, and this range is still expanding! β
Hearing this, Zhai Songpo laughed and said, "Furkman is still the same old thing!" β
Yu Chenglong nodded, "Indeed, he is a war maniac!" β
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Zhai Songpo stood up, waved his big hand, and said in a deep voice: "This old thing is really unseen." With only more than 60,000 people, they dare to launch a large-scale attack on the 150,000 elites of our expeditionary force! Today, I will let him know that in addition to Long San in my Tang Empire, I Zhai Songpo is not easy to mess with! β
After a pause, he said loudly: "Chief of General Staff, immediately pass on my order, order all units of my expeditionary force, immediately launch a full counterattack, and give me a crush of the enemy army!" β
"Yes!"
~~~~
The Right Route Army of the Expeditionary Force.
Three verticals.
The commander of the third column went to the south and shouted: "Pass my order, order the 52nd Division and the 55th Division to attack the Lan Army blocking force with all their might, and order the 56th Division to advance to the northeast as quickly as possible according to the original plan, and be sure to take the Mulins Harbor before sunset today to ensure the safety of our sea supply line!" β
"Yes!"
~~~~
Left Route Army of the Expeditionary Force.
Temporary 8th Division.
Yue Shanlai, chief of staff of the division, said: "Division commander, the Lan army that is currently attacking our temporary 8th Division has about 4,000 people, and Xue Dingbei is now leading the 183rd Brigade to engage it!" β
"Hmm!"
Hearing this, division commander Jia Renyi nodded, and asked again: "Ouyang's new Ninth Brigade, has you found any enemy information now?" β
Yu Chenglong smiled: "This is really there!" β
"Oh?"
Division Commander Jia Renyi looked sideways slightly.

~~~~~~
The city of Bonn is one of the municipalities under the jurisdiction of the province of "Brentz" in the southern region of the Lanlong Kingdom.
Due to its proximity to the Great Ulis Desert, the land is mostly desertified, and one-third of the land in the territory is no man's land, and there is basically no one to see here.
This no-man's land is called the Gig Basin!
The locals of Bonn have a custom that instead of cremating or burying the bodies of the dead, they throw them naked and let the animals and birds in the desert eat the corpses.
The Jig Basin is the first choice for locals to throw their bodies!
During the day, you can clearly see the white bones on the ground, hanging on the yellow treetops, scattered on the low and hairless hills, looking very terrible.
Especially at night, this area almost resembles a huge cemetery.
The phosphorus volatilized from the white bones, wisps of green ghost fire, densely spread here, which was terrifying.
Therefore, the Jig Basin is also called by the locals - the table of Satan the Devil!
At this moment, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are leading more than 2,000 people from the 512th Regiment of the New Ninth Brigade to march here. Rao is a warrior who has experienced many battles and seen countless bloodsheds, and now he is also feeling panicked.
A chill down the spine.
The soles of the feet are blowing cold air.
"Made, what a obscurity!"
"yes, we've only been in this area for more than half an hour, and I've already seen more than a dozen corpses."
"Lao Wang, you're okay, just a recruit in the company just now, because of the water and soil adaptation, he had a stomach trouble, and went to the side of the road to relieve himself. Afterwards, he turned his head and found that he had pulled feces on the head of a white bone. β
Words like these can be heard in the marching procession.
"Monk!"
Li Yunlong looked at Monk Wei with a strange expression, frowned, and said, "I said monk, are you really not mistaken?" β
Monk Wei hurriedly said: "Leader, don't you know who my Monk Wei is?" I really saw it, just now a lot of Lan troops entered here, and the number of them is definitely quite a lot, and it is estimated that there are definitely no less than 2,000 people! β
Li Yunlong nodded.
He immediately ordered Zhang Dabiao to lead a battalion and explore the road first. He also ordered the reconnaissance company to disperse around the area to prevent a surprise attack by the Lan army.
After all the orders were issued, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang on the side: "Xiao Zhao, if you have a choice, our old Li is definitely not willing to come to this place again." β
"Lao Li, it's too late for you to regret it now."
Zhao Gang said with a smile: "You just said that Fang was in the brigade headquarters, and you and Regiment Commander Kong almost didn't make a move because of who came to pursue the Lan army, and now you are talking about this, don't you think it doesn't make any sense?" β
Hearing this, Li Yunlong laughed awkwardly, "Didn't our old Li just complain about two sentences, are you going to the platform?" β
Zhao Gang smiled and didn't speak again.
~~~
More than half an hour passed.
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong, their brows furrowed more and more.
Because of the harsh conditions here, coupled with the white bones that can be seen everywhere here, the entire 512 regiment made more and more anxious soldiers, and even more because they were not accustomed to the water and soil, and their bodies were in a cold sweat.
"Lao Li, it can't go on like this, we haven't encountered the enemy yet, our morale has dropped countless times, if we really encounter the enemy later, the result will be unimaginable!" Zhao Gang said worriedly.
I can't help Zhao Gang not worry, it's really because the current situation is too bad!
Although Li Yunlong was arrogant, he was not a fool, and he also knew that it was not a wise choice to engage the enemy in such a situation.
At this moment, Monk Wei, who had gone to investigate the news, ran over anxiously.
"Regiment commander, 15 miles away from the front of our army, I found a large number of enemy troops, and they are rushing towards our army!"
"How many are there?"
"The wind and sand are too big, I can't see it clearly."
Hearing this, Zhao Gang immediately said to Li Yunlong: "Lao Li, now that the enemy situation is unknown, I suggest that the troops be withdrawn for the time being, so as to respond to all changes." β
Zhao Gang clearly found that the morale of the soldiers at the moment was low, which was not conducive to combat.
However, who knew that Li Yunlong laughed.
"Withdraw what?"
Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Xiao Zhao, how can there be a reason not to eat the big fat meat sent to the door?!" β
"But now the morale of the soldiers is low!" Zhao Gang said anxiously, hoping to change Li Yunlong's mind.
Li Yunlong said: "Xiao Zhao, what's the point of low morale? My Li Yunlong's soldiers, all of them are howling wolf cubs, don't look at them now one by one because they are not accustomed to the water and soil. However, I can guarantee that when they see the enemy, their eyes will all glow green. Okay, Xiao Zhao, you don't need to say it anymore, I am the regiment commander, and I have the final say in commanding the war! β
