Chapter 873 Yangzhou War (5)

"Regimental Commander, the enemy army is obviously heavily armed. If we rush over like this, even if we can reach the river, we will not be able to cross the river." Even a battalion commander next to Zhou Yun could see it.

"I don't know. But the division commander ordered us to destroy the enemy's artillery positions. We must go." Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Although it is difficult, we cannot back down."

"Let's send the order. The company commanders of each company extend to the two wings and lengthen the battle line. Advance towards the enemy's artillery position. Remember, you must lengthen the front line, so that the opponent's artillery will not be able to exert its strength."

"Yes."

The three battalion commanders around Zhou Yun all responded in unison.

Braving the enemy's artillery fire, they quickly approached the river ahead.

As Zhou Yun expected.

There is an ambush by the enemy on the other side of the river.

Already ready to fight.

in fact
Having fought against Huaxia for more than a year, the generals of the Western Shang Empire are generally familiar with Huaxia's tactics.In the face of new weapons, the only key to their victory is to get rid of the opponent's cannon.This will reduce casualties on the frontal battlefield.

This method of fighting has been used on the battlefield many times.

And it's a complete victory every time.

The generals of the Western Shang Empire were not fools either.

They have been guarding against this move.

This time to stop Zhou Yun's troops, two infantry regiments were dispatched to form formations along the river.

The defense is very tight.

clap clap clap.
As soon as he rushed to the side of the river, a burst of bullets was fired head-on.

Zhou Yun quickly lay down on the ground and roared, "Don't act rashly."

The enemy's artillery fire and attacks are too strong.

His troops are not working at all.

Lie on the spot for a long time.

Suddenly a soldier came to report: "Regimental Commander, there are enemy troops approaching here."

"where?"

"South side."

Zhou Yun quickly took out the binoculars and looked towards the south.

I saw a regiment of enemy troops approaching here.

Their purpose is obvious, which is to annihilate Zhou Yun's troops.

Zhou Yun didn't want to die here.

He made a decisive decision and shouted: "Brothers, retreat with me!"

He led the troops and approached the valley.

Because Zhou Yun found the enemy early and retreated in time.His troops were not attacked.He escaped the siege narrowly and narrowly.

However, he did not complete the task assigned by Wu Liang, but violated the military law.

Wu Liang did not punish him for the sake of the overall situation.

In the command post.

Zhou Yun said: "General, the enemy has already prepared and set up artillery positions on the west side of the river. We can't get through it at all. No matter how many troops are sent, the enemy only needs to send a few regiments to steal our retreat. "

"Ugh!"

Wu Liang slammed his fist on the ridge and sighed: "It seems that I underestimated the enemy army. They are already familiar with our army's tactics and have carried out targeted defense."

"This battle is not easy to fight."

Silence for a while.

Wu Liang said: "Lead the headquarters to the mountain pass. If the enemy breaks through the stone forest, you must defend the mountain pass at all costs. You must know that the mountain pass is our barrier. Once it is breached, it will be difficult for us to hold on."

"Yes."

Zhou Yun left.

There were several brigade commanders standing next to Wu Liang.

One of the brigade commanders said: "Regimental Commander Zhou is very wise and good at leading troops. The general should use him more."

"Ah."

Wu Liangliang nodded, but said: "It's just that sometimes he doesn't obey orders, which is troublesome."

"Just tell him more." All the generals thought in their hearts, if your order is correct, how can they not obey.But they dare not say this outright.

The battle in Stone Forest has never stopped.

After more than a dozen rounds of bombing, the troops stationed inside suffered heavy casualties.

Before receiving Wu Liang's order, they hurriedly withdrew to the mountain pass.

From the beginning to the end, the enemy did not send a single soldier to the stone forest, and only used artillery fire to break the stone forest.

Enemy forces are invading.

Soon through the stone forest, arrived at the mountain pass.

Wu Liang was also a little panicked.

Mountain passes are the best line of defense.

This line of defense must not be breached.

He immediately dispatched troops to serve as a reserve team.As long as the soldiers in front suffer too much casualties, the soldiers behind will immediately make up for it.

clap clap clap.
The two sides officially exchanged fire.

Because of Wu Liang's artillery, it is located behind.

The range can cover kilometers.

The enemy did not dare to get too close, let alone use artillery.Because their artillery is placed across the river to the west.If transferred, there is a risk of being raided.

Without the support of artillery, the combat effectiveness of the enemy is greatly reduced.

In the command post.

Wu Liang also saw through this.

Feeling relieved, he sent someone to call Zhou Yun, and said, "Commander Zhou, you said before that the enemy army is on the other side of the river and it is difficult to attack. Now they are likely to cross the river and support the mountain pass under the cover of the infantry. I order you , lead the headquarters, try to go around the mountain side, and if you find the enemy crossing the river, wipe them out."

"The last will obey."

Zhou Yun didn't have any comments this time.

There was no hesitation for a moment.

Because he thought so too.

In order to defend the mountain pass, the enemy's artillery must not be allowed to cross the river.

Zhou Yun led the troops along the mountain path to the flank.

Set up an ambush in the enemy's only way.

He climbed a tree and looked west with a telescope.

It was thought that the enemy would cross the river to join the battle.

but
He watched for a long time, but did not see any movement from the enemy army.

Zhou Yun was waiting there.

Waited for more than two hours.

It wasn't until the battle at the mountain pass reached a fever pitch that the enemy's artillery received an order to cross the river under the escort of two infantry regiments and a guard regiment.

Zhou Yun was very excited.

He hurriedly issued an order: "All battalions are not allowed to make any noise, wait for my order, and then act according to the order. If anyone acts without authorization and disturbs the enemy army, their artillery will be withdrawn. This general will not be lenient."

"promise."

The three battalion commanders behind him all responded in low voices.

Soon.
The enemy's advance battalion arrives.

There are about three hundred people.

The so-called advance battalion is here to explore the way.

Make sure there is no enemy ambush ahead, and then let the large troops pass.

This advance battalion was not fast, and after walking a short distance, they fired at the jungle on both sides to conduct fire reconnaissance.

Seeing that the enemy is about to approach.

Zhou Yun was very worried, and said in a low voice again: "Listen, all of you, even if you are hit by a bullet, you can't make a sound. If anyone is exposed and causes us to lose the battle, I will definitely report to His Majesty and punish him severely!"

"Yes."

The soldiers were all stuck to the ground, ready to be shot in their hearts.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The enemy's advance battalion came forward.

They didn't find Zhou Yun's troops and walked forward.

puff!
Suddenly, a row of bullets flew over, and one of them hit a battalion commander next to Zhou Yun.The bullet hit his arm, and blood gushed out like a pillar.

He gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

This is thanks to Zhou Yuan, who told him in advance, so that he was mentally prepared.

Otherwise, if you are caught off guard, you will definitely scream loudly.

If the enemy finds out like that, all the troops hiding here will die.

The advance battalion walked over.

Behind is an infantry regiment, guarding artillery vehicles.

Zhou Yun slowly raised his pistol: "Crack!"

A shot went off.

Zhou Yun shouted violently: "Fight!"

Boom boom boom.
No mortars are needed at such a short distance.Just throw the grenade straight ahead.

All rifles, too, are face-to-face designs.

You don't even need to aim, just load the bullet and pull the fire directly.

clap clap clap.
Once the fighting started, the former convenience was in ruins.All the enemy's artillery were scrapped after being bombarded.The infantry regiment escorting the artillery was also severely damaged.

Zhou Yun shouted: "Brothers, don't let any enemy go, kill them all!"

"Fight!"

The enemy's front and rear armies, with a length of more than 500 meters, were hit hard.The advance battalion that had run to the front, heard the gunshots, and ran back quickly.But it's too late.

Zhou Yun personally led a company of troops to exchange fire with the enemy's advance battalion through the cover of trees.

Due to its condescending height, the grenade can be easily thrown into the middle of the enemy.

The advance battalion only persisted for a while, and more than half of them suffered casualties.

Zhou Yun was so anxious that he didn't have any extra time to spend here. He said to the company commander: "You continue to keep an eye on this place and wipe out all the enemy's advance battalions."

"promise."

Zhou Yun ran back again.
Like a firefighter, he ran wherever he didn't play well.Urge the soldiers there and attack the enemy's vital points.

After half an hour.

The enemy's two infantry regiments, a guard battalion, and an artillery regiment were dealt with by Zhou Yun.This battle was fought unexpectedly, but it was not easy.

Because the number of enemy troops is more than three times that of his.

Even if he had the best time and place, he had to pay some price to win.

Yamaguchi.

The battle is almost over.

After a fierce attack, the enemy fell short because of lack of artillery support.

Just then.

They received news that the artillery regiment and the two infantry regiments had been killed by Zhou Yun.

This means that in the next round of attack, it will be difficult to carry out shelling.

In order to avoid being blocked by the stone forest, all the troops of the Western Shang Empire set up a defense line in front of the stone forest.Turn the stone forest into their position.

"The stone forest was originally our army's line of defense, but it was used by the enemy. It's really annoying." Wu Liang said in the command post.

"The general doesn't have to be upset about it. They don't have artillery anymore, so they don't pose a threat to us." A brigade commander said.

"It's thanks to Commander Zhou Yun, who led the army to wipe out the enemy's artillery, so that we can hope to hold the mountain pass." Another brigade commander said.

"Ah."

Wu Liangliang nodded, looked at Zhou Yun behind, and said, "Commander Zhou, you have done a great job this time. This general will report to the Holy Majesty and give you an official title."

"Thank you, General."

Zhou Yun was not very happy.

Because the soldiers under his command had already lost all their casualties.

A regiment leader without soldiers, is he still a regiment leader?

Without soldiers, how can you make meritorious deeds?

To some extent, he has temporarily lost his role in the army.

Wu Liang seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said with a sudden smile, "Commander Zhou, don't worry. After this battle is over, do you still have to worry about not having an army commander?"

Based on the battle that Zhou Yun fought and the meritorious service he made, according to the promotion system of the First Army, he is enough to be promoted to brigade staff or deputy brigade commander.

At that time, what he needs to command is not a regiment, but a brigade.

"Generally speaking, today's battle was well fought. It showed the prestige of our Second Army. But... the enemy will definitely attack tomorrow. We must, as always, defend this valley."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, general, we will fight to the death!" All the generals said.

Because of the running group of the Western Shang Empire, it was solved by Zhou Yun.

Their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

They exchanged fire with the enemy troops stationed in the valley, and they could not be captured for a long time.

The war became a stalemate.

Outside the city of Hefei, Xu Ding led his army to attack Hefei and had already broken through the city, but the fight was extremely difficult.

The reason is that the defenders in Hefei learned the lessons of the Shouchun Battle.They set up several lines of defense in the city and used fortress tactics to fight against the Huaxia National Army.

Although they entered the city, they were unable to break through in a short time.

It took two days to attack before advancing 500 meters.

Xu Ding ordered all troops to stop attacking.

rear of the battlefield.

In the command post.

Xu Ding said with a serious face: "In Hefei City, there are only two enemy brigades. Now there are less than 5000 people, and we have tens of thousands of troops. After two days of fierce attack, we still can't break through. What's going on?"

Everyone lowered their heads.
Xu Ding shouted: "General Tai Shici, tell me?"

Tai Shici came out and said: "Your Majesty, this group of enemy troops are really good at defensive and counterattack tactics. They are especially good at street fighting. They also know the situation in Hefei City like the back of their hands. Our army will not go far if we attack. To the encirclement, the loss was heavy."

Xu Ding said: "Nayi, what do you mean, there is no need to fight this battle?"

"The end will not dare."

Military advisor Jia Xu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we have to change our tactics."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"For a long time, we have adopted the tactics of quick battle and quick decision. We want to eliminate the defenders in Hefei as soon as possible. However, the enemy is good at defensive warfare. If we attack too quickly, the casualties will increase. The minister suggested that the urgent attack should be slow. Attack. First guard the city gates around Hefei. Surround the enemy army in the city. Mobilize half of the soldiers and horses, go to the valley to the south, support Wu Liang, and block the enemy's reinforcements. After our follow-up troops arrive, we will attack together Hefei. By then, the strength of our army will be dozens of times that of the Hefei defenders, how can it be invincible?" Jia Xu said.

"it is good."

Xu Ding also didn't want to see any more casualties in the army.

He directly agreed with Jia Xu's strategy and said: "Add troops to Wu Liang immediately, and urge Lu Su, Zhang Liao and others to come and join the army quickly."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Jia Xu responded.

Xu Ding adopted Jia Xu's suggestion and ordered the troops in the four cities to retreat to the towers to garrison.And transferred half of the army and left Hefei.Gather outside.

In order to defend the valley to the south, Xu Ding sent Tai Shici to lead a brigade to assist in the battle.

Compared with Tai Shici, Wu Liang's rank is much lower.

Once Tai Shici arrived, all the battles there were commanded by Tai Shici.

He heard Wu Liang talk about Zhou Yun.

Appreciate everyone Zhou Yun.

In the command post.

Tai Shici faced Zhou Yun and said: "This general will now appoint you as the deputy brigade commander of the 16th Brigade. You will command the 16th Brigade to assist Commander Wu Liang and guard the valley."

Zhou Yunwan didn't expect that he really became the brigade commander.

This is nothing short of pie in the sky.
