Chapter 518: It's a bad start

"This ....."

Lin Cheng was a little speechless for a while, looked at Zhao Ming, and found that the other party had a playful face, and immediately smiled bitterly.

"Sir Zhao, don't tease me, I believe you must know our intentions, or let's get straight to the point?"

Zhao Ming shook the cigarette ash with a smile and nodded, "Hehe! Brother Lin, it's okay to talk, but my ears may not be very good, so don't blame me if you can't hear some words clearly. ”

"Alas, Chief Zhao, I can't play with you anyway, how about you listen to it first?" Lin Cheng sighed.

"Please!" Zhao Ming stretched out his hand and smiled.

"I believe that Chief Zhao is also aware of the current situation in the south, and the pressure on the upper side is too great."

Lin Cheng began to tell the story.

In general, the current situation in the national government is not optimistic.

After all, it was no longer the Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu on the side of the national government, but the princes of the Eighteen Roads going into battle.

With so many people pressing up, it is natural that they will be frustrated one after another at the beginning.

If Zhao Ming remembers correctly, since the beginning of the year, the government has lost territory one after another.

Originally, at the beginning of the game, everyone felt that the Jin army under Yan Laoxi was generally good at defensive warfare, and lacked the experience and ability to conduct offensive operations with large-scale corps.

But the fact is the opposite, at the beginning, it was like a tiger in the mountains to conquer several places one after another.

Five corps, two cavalry divisions, and seven artillery regiments pushed all the way from the Longhai line directly to the Pinghan line.

It successively occupied Kaifeng, Lanfeng and a large area to the east, and at the same time established a military defense line in the area of Lanfeng to cover the deployment of the army.

How to say it, at this time, Yan Laoxi's faint move had already appeared, and after the army was unfolded, it was a long snake formation.

Zhao Ming knew this according to the situation in later generations, but some people felt that it was not very reliable in these years, but it seemed quite reasonable.

After all, the front and back are connected wave after wave, and they can also consolidate each other's defense lines, and they can also slowly press the border to the south.

According to Lin Cheng's description, before mid-May, the government had been losing ground without any success.

And this is only a small-scale battle in the early stage, after all, this way is pushed all the way and relies on the rolling army, and the national government has almost no resistance and has lost its territory.

In the vicinity of Shangqiu, a large-scale exchange of fire broke out between the two sides on May 11.

In just two days, the government lost tens of thousands of people every day.

And according to what Lin Cheng said, in the middle of May not long ago, Shangfeng was angry, and it was really too deceitful to press and beat people like this.

As a result, a wave of air force cooperated in the firefight, and the Yan Laoxi faction that directly fought was defeated and retreated.

This battle allowed the government to stabilize the battle line and push the front forward a lot.

And the interesting point is that the government began to rebel, and directly rebelled against an important general under the former Liu Shuai.

Liu Shuai is the one who led the Zhensong army, this general directly rebelled against Lao Feng and voted for the national government.

But before this surrender began, the secret was leaked.

Therefore, the rebellion failed, and the situation was brought to a stalemate, and the momentum of the national government came violently, and the air force was used to lead several main divisions to prepare for a victory in pursuit, but because of the failure of the rebellion, the momentum was forcibly contained, resulting in a big loss of face.

But things reversed again, and the plan to trap was unsuccessful.

Through a letter written by a friend of the Jin army's main general defending the city, he deceived the other party out, and was directly shot.

As a result, the gateway to the Longhai line was opened, and the Jin army was forced to retreat more than 100 kilometers.

The government was also ruthless, and continued to pursue with victory, and the two sides fought fiercely for three days and three nights, and as a result, they had no choice but to give up the pursuit by taking advantage of the victory to pursue the beaten one.

The battle situation also came to a stalemate, but when the government retreated, the other party took the opportunity to cover up the whole army, and the killed government was defeated all the way.

Not only were 15 heavy machine guns captured by the Jin army, but hundreds of officers were also captured. The government was terrified for a while and did not dare to fight.

Not only with the fiasco of the Jin army, but also against the Northwest Army's side of the government.

The government completely underestimated Lao Feng, who was good at mobile warfare.

Not only underestimating the opponent's ability to maneuver, but also underestimating the opponent's defensive ability.

The army rushed into the people's position, thinking it was a massacre, but the people had already set a trap, and the front army fell into the trench that the Northwest Army had dug a long time ago.

There were all kinds of wooden thorns inside, and many people were killed at once, and the rear army didn't know the depth in front of them, so they continued to chase and kill.

As a result, when he rushed to the front, he had no way to retreat, but there was still a team urging him to do so, so he could only continue to rush forward.

On the opposite side of the trench was the heavy bombardment of the Northwest Army machine guns, rifle grenades, not counting the consumption.

None of the troops of the government who fought in this war survived.

And when the two generals in charge of this battle knew the situation ahead, it was too late, and Lao Feng's cavalry was not just talking, and quickly completed the counter-encirclement.

That is, the army of the national government is well-equipped, and Rao is like this, so a small number of soldiers and horses escaped from Shengtian.

As a result of this battle, the army of the government had a serious fear of the Northwest Army, and its morale had fallen into a trough.

Originally, Zhao Ming didn't have a very clear memory of this period, but after listening to Lin Cheng's report, he recalled a lot of it, and he also had a bottom in his heart.

To put it simply, no one in the national government during this period of time is optimistic about them.

Both roads suffered heavy losses, and the Jin army could still fight a beautiful turnaround battle, but because of the poor Kou Mo chasing, he was beaten with blood.

Needless to say, the Northwest Army itself has a very strong combat capability.

You can laugh at the Northwest Army as a bunch of poor ghosts, but you must not underestimate their combat ability and will to fight.

Their tactics may be old-fashioned, but they are all old oilers' playing styles, and they are all honed in actual combat.

"Brother Lin, so what?" Zhao Ming took a sip of his cigarette and asked lightly.

"So.... Uh...."

Lin Cheng was stunned for a while, and said in his heart I spit Xingzi said so much, why are you still pretending here?

"Sir Zhao, you can do it, you can also see the meaning of Shangfeng, do you want to see if you can have fun?"

"Haha! Hahahaha! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ming raised his head and laughed, and laughed for a full minute before asking,

"Lieutenant Lin, aren't you kidding me? I'm just a lieutenant colonel, what do you think I can do?

Or a lieutenant colonel with no real power, hanging alone in this prairie, do you think I am a fairy? Can you influence the tide of this war between tens of millions of troops? ”

When outsiders listen to this, there is nothing wrong with it, and this is the case on the surface.

How can he, Zhao Ming, be able to get involved in this?

Lin Cheng sighed helplessly, and said bitterly, "Chief Zhao is at this time, don't pretend, I don't know the situation on your side yet?"

Besides, didn't you say yes before? I've given you all these millions of funds, and you've been purchasing arms for a long time, right?

These arms are more than enough to arm a regiment, even if they are armed with a division, you see....."

There are some things that can be hidden from outsiders, but where can he hide it, an intelligence officer who specializes in keeping an eye on Zhao Ming.

He has been staying near Chahar, if he can't figure out Zhao Ming's current situation, then he can buy a piece of tofu and die.
