Chapter Seventy-Three: Victory
On the third day of the Battle of Fuyang, the white-haired Sun Ze sorted out his military uniform, looking at this battlefield, as if he wanted to know what this army was like that of fighting his invincible self like this. The previous high-speed movement made the imperial army unable to catch it, and it also made Sun Zexin hold a trace of luck, hoping to break it in one fell swoop in a frontal battle. However, now the Red Republican Army, which was slowly approaching in all directions with tunnel warfare, told him thoroughly that such an army was a force that fought a tough battle.
The strength of the Imperial army had already been exhausted in the hours of fighting to storm the tunnels, and the massive force was killed by the crossfire of the two tunneling machine guns. Without impact, the tunnel is dug in front of you, and the explosive packets ignited by the # fuse fall from the sky. The Imperial soldiers did not know how many casualties there were on the other side, but judging from the performance of the dragons and tigers on the other side, the pieces of corpses they left on the ground did not effectively organize the enemy.
At the beginning of the first station, the French also had a high will to fight, but the soldiers died in the machine-gun trench positions in line under the backward tactics, but it was ineffective, and as a result, the French were tired of fighting by the invasion, who were supposed to defend their homeland with high will. The tunnels were slow, but everywhere they went, the Empire could not resist. Charge after charge, shoot. The Imperial soldiers cleaned their hands of bullets and explosives. Still can't find a way to crack it. Three days passed, and the Imperial soldiers who were surrounded in the center were left without water. This is the golden autumn of October, and the autumn is crisp. The soldiers of the Imperial Army besieged in the center had chapped lips. Ammunition was in dire straits, and the continuous fighting for several days left all the Imperial troops without sleep for three days, and their physical strength and energy had reached their limits. The pride and honor are all consumed in this eagle-like attack. Everyone could see that this army was on the verge of defeat.
Although Sun Ze didn't want to admit that he was such an elite training unit, he was defeated by a group of mud-legged people in Huaibei. But the reality is that he is about to be destroyed. The young generals under his command were already blinded by this time. Although he was neatly dressed, his soul had been drained. In the current situation, it is impossible to escape, and there is no intention of encircling three or missing one on the other side, and the tunnels are being dug in all directions, and they are pressing step by step. Occasionally, he shouts at night to persuade him to surrender.
The whole process is slow and meticulous, and he treats his thousands of soldiers as meat in a bowl. The army was full of vigor, and Sun Ze could feel it, and the tunneling tactics did not appear in the first few hours of the attack from other directions. It was all artillery coverage to directly seize the position, but after a few hours, Sun Ze discovered that the tactics of the western front quickly spread to the four directions. What does this mean? This army has a very strong ability to learn and has a very strong system for summing up experience.
When passing by the trenches, Sun Ze walked by, and in the past, the imperial soldiers would quickly stand up and salute, but at this time, the soldiers didn't seem to see their generals walking in front of them, and their eyes looked at the sky in confusion. At this time, there was a singing sound from the opposite field in the distance, although it was a little small here. But the loudness in it cannot be concealed.
It seemed to feel the singing of the Red Republican Army, and the Imperial soldiers squatting in the tunnel invariably shrank in unison. The tunneling tactics caused heavy unbreakable casualties to the Imperial Army, and now it was the turn of the Imperial soldiers to find that they could not solve the problem desperately, and their morale plummeted.
Sun Ze stopped, carefully distinguishing the lyrics in the song.
"Onward! Forward! Forward!
Our procession to the sun,
Stepping on the land of the motherland,
Burdened with the hope of the nation,
We are an invincible force.
We are the children of workers and peasants,
We are the armed forces of the people,
From fearless,
Never give in,
Heroic battles,
Until the reactionaries are wiped out,......"
Sun Ze laughed, his face showed a bleak color, and he clapped his hands lightly and said, "Good songs, good words." Even Chu Ge didn't want to sing it to us. ”
Embattled, when the Han army surrounded Xiang Yu, singing the song of Chu aroused the homesickness and war weariness of the Chu army. At this time, the Republican Army was showing its high will, and seemed to ignore the Imperial Army in the encirclement. No matter how much you struggle, the determination to encircle and destroy you will not waver.
In 1703, on October 1, the Huaibei Campaign, which lasted for three months and one day, came to an end under Fuyang City. Twelve thousand Imperial troops plunged headlong into the encirclement of the Republican Army, and after the defeat in the battle, there was no hope of breaking through, and they were divided and annihilated under the heavy encirclement of the Republican Army. On October 1, the Third Imperial Army of the Ming Empire, which ran out of ammunition and food, surrendered to the Republican Army with 5,471 people under the order of Sun Ze, and ten minutes later, Sun Ze committed suicide by swallowing a gun in the big tent. Sun Ze's sword was transferred to Ren Di by his deputy Shi Tianming. Three hours later, 3,400 Imperial troops in Fuyang City also surrendered under artillery bombardment.
At the negotiation table, Ren Di looked at the white-gloved Ming Imperial Army officer in front of him, and when Ren Di entered, the four Imperial Army officers also looked at Ren Di. Ren Di, who was covered with gunpowder smoke and dust, looked at these generals lightly. Ren Di was very calm, because of this victory, Ren Di was sure that he won it. Ren Di accepted this victory calmly. Of course, there was no mockery of the defeated generals on the opposite side, because this victory did not come easily. In the entire Fuyang War, for example, the Republican Army paid 7,320 casualties.
When Ren Di looked at this officer in the Ming era, Shi Tianming and the other four also looked at Ren Di. The temperament of the commander is not just the demeanor and temperament of commanding others for a long time, the temperament of the commander is that I command, I am responsible, and I bear. A temperament that makes people admit and believe. This kind of temperament cannot be cultivated by holding it high, but to be precise, it is necessary to stand out in the war and win everyone's trust with a responsible attitude. Holding it high, others can only look at it and avoid it. This kind of person does not shy away from others. This temperament is an imperial temperament. However, the imperial temperament cannot be transformed into the temperament of the commander, and the temperament of the commander can be transformed into the temperament of the emperor, and it is the founding emperor.
Even though the clothes are similar and covered with dust, Shi Tianming, as an outsider, can see at a glance that the respect shown by the soldiers and officers of this army from the bottom of their hearts can determine Ren Di's identity, and Ren Di himself doesn't know how dazzling he is now.
However, after seeing Ren Di, Shi Tianming's eyes became even more puzzled, Ren Di is not old or even older than himself, at this age, which military school was he trained from? There were only two military academies in the Ming Empire, one was the Jinling Military Academy in the southern capital, and the other was the Huangpu Military Academy founded by the Hai Song Dynasty in Shanghai seventy years ago. Shi Tianming, an outstanding cadet of these two military academies in recent years, recognized him. And Ren Di is not one of them. Ren Di's photo Shi Tianming has seen it, this guy who is richly dressed and went to the Anqing Exchange to buy strategic materials in large quantities has long been listed in the Imperial Jinyiwei. Shi Tianming never thought that it was Ren Di who was commanding this army.
However, the smoke of gunpowder on Ren Di's body, as well as the attitude of all the generals, showed that this was the supreme commander.
"Is the general from West Point?" Shi Tianming asked. (West Point, there is no doubt that Hai Song founded the military academy.) From the name, you can tell that it is the bad taste of the previous group of traversers. Ren Di was stunned for a moment when he heard this familiar name, and then reacted. Then he shook his head and said, "No." ”
Shi Tianming frowned and said, "Can I know where I was defeated by the military faction." Ren Di thought about it and decided to continue to pick up people's teeth. He replied that since the "Qingshan Military Academy" has developed along the military path of that faction, it will naturally owe it to this after its victory.
Shi Tianming was puzzled: "Qingshan University, where is this military school?" What are your tactics? Ren Di said: "Mushroom tactics, you can't learn this thing." Shi Tianming raised his head and said, "The general is entertaining me." ”
Ren Di waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about business, I heard that you have a ransom rule?" Shi Tianming laughed miserably: "Now we are worthless, the general of the defeated army." Ashamed of the emperor's grace, it is already a shame if he didn't commit suicide. ”
Ren Di said: "You bring this list back, the price I quoted is this, it is really not benevolent and righteous." Shi Tianming took the list and glanced at it, and after this glance, he couldn't leave it anymore. There are no gold and silver treasures on the list, and there are no beautiful singers, all kinds of materials, special steel alloy steel, Shi Tianming roughly recognized two of them, and some of the steel is cannon steel materials. Although I don't want to admit it emotionally, it can be seen from this list that there are not only high-level military talents in this live thief, but also senior engineers, and such talents are completely against the Ming Empire.
Shi Tianming looked at Ren Di and sighed and said: "Why should you be a thief?" Ren Di smiled and said: "There are too many thieves in your eyes, is your eyes too dirty." ”
Shi Tianming wanted to refute something, but Ren Di interrupted and said: "You and I have different positions, words are not speculative, I am talking to you for interests." There is no need to talk about things other than interests, and if you can't talk about them, it's better to fight directly. ”
said that the fight seemed to have drained Shi Tianming's momentum, and he still couldn't beat it after all. The Imperial Army officer next to him said stiffly: "I'm a million Ming Lion, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you win." It is better to surrender early and ask the Son of Heaven for forgiveness. ”
Ren Di didn't speak, the corners of his mouth smiled, looked at Shi Tianming and said: "Do you do this work with words or not, if you don't do it, someone will do it." ”
Camera cuts.
Guiyang, when the major base areas in South China, East China, Sichuan, and Northern Shaanxi were in full swing to expand. Zhao Weiguo has always been here, and the major officer is farming. Evolve the colonial-era medal military base into an industrial base that closely follows this era, and draws a lot of technical details from this era. The horizontal construction of the industrial base does not lag too far behind this era. Of course, such a climbing technology must have a good external environment. This external environment was naturally created for him by the sub-base opened by the reserve officer.
And the reserve officers are different, the first category is equivalent to Li Ziming and Yunchen and the very conscious category, Zhao Weiguo did not assign tasks, they went out consciously, as for the benefits, they understood that Zhao Weiguo would not give them less. As for the second category, it is mandatory to sign a deed of sale in the space for the first time to participate in the reserve ensigns of people whose lives are in danger beyond their own ability, these ensigns are usually resistant to danger, Zhao Weiguo is using the military rank to force the right to order the task to let the reserve ensign complete the task, those ensigns were arranged to go to northern Shaanxi, but now two have died, and they were hacked to death by the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty in Shaanxi. Now there is also a second lieutenant named Lu Ming, who fights guerrillas in the Qinling Mountains. But they did not dare to continue to develop on the plains.
For Lu Ming's action, Zhao Weiguo didn't urge it, he didn't have much hope, if he had a lot of hope, Zhao Weiguo's base would not have chosen Guizhou, an area with inconvenient transportation. As for Ren Di here, Zhao Weiguo really didn't expect it.
How dangerous the strategic location of the Dabie Mountains is, as long as this base is maintained, it will be a huge strategic suppression of the current Ming Empire. Zhao Weiguo's order to Ren Di was to resist and insist on resisting. Other requirements are not. Ren Di didn't reply much when he heard the order, Zhao Weiguo didn't know what the situation was in Huaibei. To this day, the imperial newspapers are full of bad news, the Third Army of the Empire and the thief army of Fuyang failed, were surrounded by heavy sieges, and were completely annihilated.
Battle! Annihilation of the whole army? And it was also within the plain of 300 kilometers from the political center of the Ming Empire. This result is very good, Li Ziming in the south is only an anti-encirclement and suppression war, resisting the invasion and suppression of bandits by the Ming army in Guangdong. It's still a little short of coming out and fighting in the field with the Ming army. As for Yunchen and here, they basically occupied the Badong Mountains and began to infiltrate the Chengdu Plain. It was a bit difficult to work under the collusion between the local forces of Sichuan Pao Ge and the Ming army.
Zhao Weiguo, who had already used Zijin to recruit 30,000 troops in this world, was ready to go into battle in person at any time, but at this time, he suddenly found that he had an army at hand that could fight with the enemy's elite main force in a key strategic position. The heart is very happy.
The relationship between Zhao Weiguo and Ren Di is that of superiors and subordinates, and Zhao Weiguo has the authority to give Ren Di three mandatory orders. However, these three compulsory powers, if the reserve is very cooperative, will not be able to give orders without that official officer.
For example, if Zhao Weiguo now uses a compulsory order to remove Ren Di's job in Huaibei, if Ren Di is allowed to obey, even if this task is 100% completed, the evolution of Ren Di's score in this part will be 100%, but if Zhao Weiguo can't find a suitable person to replace Ren Di after replacing him, then the evolution will focus on deducting one point from Zhao Weiguo's task score. In addition to purple gold being hard currency, there are two important resources in the Evolution Battlefield. One of them is knowledge, and the other is relational channels.
When Ren Di won the battle in Huaibei, Zhao Weiguo's happiness seemed to be too excited in the eyes of the members of his own plane organization development. Zhao Weiguo drafted a telegram on the spot, asking Ren Di to continue to expand his victory in Huaibei, develop in the direction of HN in the north, develop in the direction of Hubei in the west, liberate the land south of the Yangtze River in the south, expand to the east to northern Jiangsu, and open up the Lianyungang estuary.
Zhou Ziming (a revolutionary on the plane) seemed to be a little unbearable, and said to Zhao Weiguo: "Chairman, whether this Ren Di's revolutionary nature can withstand the test. He's been away from us for too long, after all. We can't grasp the movement of his thoughts. Will he have warlord tendencies. ”
This sentence raised the doubts of the members of the CPC Central Committee in Guizhou. After all, the northern Anhui base area has developed independently in the past year. Zhao Weiguo said: "Comrades, when there is no evidence, do not easily doubt the faith of a comrade. The achievements of the work in northern Anhui should be affirmed, and we should support it, and I will call northern Anhui to send a force of 1,200 people over. The next time is up to us, and the uprising is urgent. ”
