blood feud

"beat--"

Guan Xiong took the lead, and was close to 200 meters away from the enemy. The Czech-style light machine gun in his hand had already fired, and the horse under his crotch was flying, and a magazine was on the dirt bag before it was finished!

The guard company with 24 machine guns took care of more than 30 people. By the time all the horses rushed to the dirt bag, all the enemies had been killed.

Without hesitation, the company commander of the guard immediately grabbed the opponent's military flag and broke the flagpole. The enemy's command system was destroyed!

Liu Jiguang, the commander of the 1st Division that Li Shouxin had just appointed the day before yesterday, was beaten to death for unknown reasons, and the military flag was also seized!

"Brothers, I'm here!" Guan Xiong changed a magazine, and with a shout, he led the guard company directly into the battlefield from the small soil bag, and launched a pincer attack on the enemy in front of him from behind.

A bunch of puppet troops were mobs, and only now did they realize that their division seat and military flag were gone, and the enemy had already killed them from behind.

This battle is still a fart, let's run!As soon as the remaining 600 people urged their horses, they immediately scattered and fled.

"The whole army stopped pursuing, and the third battalion stepped forward to guard. The second battalion gathered the enemy's horses as soon as possible to prevent the enemy's follow-up troops! The guard company rescued the wounded and carried the sacrificed soldiers into the woods behind!"

Guan Xiong knew that this was not the time to be brave. Since Li Shouxin had four divisions, if one was destroyed now, there would still be three.It would be very troublesome if they were all surrounded at once.

After arranging the actions of the troops, Guan Xiong looked around carefully. It turned out that this place was flat, and only the small dirt bag before was considered a commanding height.

"No, this place is not a good place to fight!" Guan Xiong rode his horse around once, and immediately said to the second battalion commander: "What should this place be called Gangou? It is not a good place. Lead your battalion with the wounded and The remains of the soldiers retreated, occupying a favorable position on the Sanduanliang line to build a position, and prepared to block the enemy's impact! Without my order, you are not allowed to take half a step back!"

More than 20 minutes after the second battalion left, the third battalion had all returned.The commander of the third battalion came to the small soil bag where Guan Xiong was, and said, "report commander, most of the enemy's [-] or so soldiers are infantry, and they have already rushed over here. There are less than ten kilometers away from here, and there seems to be artillery. !Because the front is flat ground, I was worried about being discovered by the enemy, so I retreated all of them.”

After listening to the report from the commander of the third battalion, Guan Xiong nodded and said in a low voice: "Lead the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion to go around from the east. Once the second battalion engages the enemy, you should attack the enemy's rear as much as possible. Today's situation is very strange. Ordinarily, after the vanguard was defeated, Li Shouxin should have waited and watched for a while. He is all charging up now, and there is probably a trick in it. You need to send more people to monitor the movement around, and don't capsize in the gutter!"

After all the three battalions left, Guan Xiong took a look at the battlefield just now. All the crooked machine guns left by the enemy had been taken away, and the remaining tattered horse rifles were useless now, so he led the guard battalion to retreat slowly. Then go back to the three-section beam and prepare to block the enemy.

It is said that when Guan Xiong led the two cavalry battalions out of the barracks, Bai Shujie, Zhao Jinxi, Gan Tong, Lu Ming and others were discussing the current situation at the headquarters in response to the content of the Day Senda telegram.

Cheng Shijie then also sent a telegram, informing Guan Xiong of the tactical arrangement of taking the lead in attacking and taking over from Daisen Dari to stop the enemy, and put forward his own views on the principles of the next battle:

"It has been determined that the enemies to the north of Linxi Town are all puppet troops or armed bandits. Although it is said to have seven divisions, for such a team, it should not be fully established. Therefore, we believe that we should attack with all our strength. , to deal a fatal blow to the opponent, so that they will not dare to spy on Rehe in the future, Cheng Shijie."

"Cheng Shijie and his analysis make sense!" Gan Tong looked at the telegram and said, "For Chadong and Chabei regions, Li Shouxin is also an outsider. According to the information we have so far, he does not have his own supply base for soldiers, so Li Shouxin definitely has no ability to have four divisions in one week! As for playing so many banners, I think it's just a bluff to scare people!"

"Wang Ying's situation, Han Qingfen's first security division has long been focusing on it." Lu Ming said in an interface: "Especially after taking Guyuan County, Han Qingfen has moved his headquarters there, and now he is working with Wang Ying According to her reconnaissance conclusion, Wang Ying has more than 3000 but less than 4000 people. Even if he all comes out, there are always some people who stay behind in Kangbao and Shangdu, so 2000 people will be able to come out. !"

Bai Shujie didn't express his opinion, but asked Zhao Jinxi: "What's your opinion?"

"It's just a few bandits, is there any need to make a fuss?" Zhao Jinxi shook his head: "The key now is, why did they suddenly appear to the north of us? Don't you know that Han Qingfen's troops are only more than 100 kilometers away from Kangbao County, and there are three cavalry You can rush to his city in an hour? Also, Mogi Kananosuke’s Fourth Independent Cavalry Brigade was almost wiped out in Chifeng, so what can they do with their bandits?”

"Hahaha, you are right, here is the problem! Li Shouxin is using the banner of seeking revenge from us, and it is clear that there is no silver 300 taels here! If he really wants revenge, he can just attack Guyuan County directly. His original lair. This is a suspicious strategy, and it is full of loopholes." Bai Shujie smiled and said: "Order Cheng Shijie to eat these two groups of bandits, and at the same time order Han Qingfen to strengthen the vigilance in the northwest of Guyuan County!"

Liu Zhiliang received Bai Shujie's telegram on the road.

Because after Cheng Shijie sent the telegram, he ordered Liu Zhiliang, the deputy commander of the division, to set off with the guard battalion and air defense battalion of the division headquarters.As for the heavy artillery regiment and the infantry regiment, they still stayed at the headquarters of the Ongniud Banner headquarters. It was a strategic reserve team, and Wei Ziqiang, the deputy division commander, was in charge of the housekeeping.

Although Cheng Shijie was not overly worried, several fortresses in Linxi Town had just been taken over, so he himself brought a platoon of guards and came to Linxi Town to sit in the town himself.

There are a total of six forts along the line of Linxi Town. From west to east, they are Sanjianfang Fortress, Haojiagou Fortress, Shijiangshan Fortress, Jingzigou Fortress, Sandaogou Fortress and Sulm Fortress.This line is defended by two companies of the Second Infantry Battalion of Zhang Yunhe's 21st Regiment. The battalion command post of the Second Infantry Battalion is in Linxi Town.

Before sitting down, Cheng Shijie asked, "Guo Zhicheng, how is the situation on your side?"

Guo Zhicheng, the battalion commander of the Second Infantry Battalion.Seeing that the commander was in such a hurry, he pointed to the map on the wall and said, "The enemy appeared very suddenly, as if it came out of the ground all at once. Look, Commander, Wujiazi is 25 kilometers east of Jingzigou Fortress. Around, Xinglongzhuang is 18 kilometers east of Shijiangshan Fortress.”

"According to the enemy's report, Wang Ying and Li Shouxin should be in the southwest of us. Now that they suddenly appeared to the east of us, it means they are behind us. Therefore, we analyze that they should suddenly come in from the north. In other words, they traveled a long way north from Kangbao County before they could come over. Because only in this way can they avoid our reconnaissance."

Cheng Shijie nodded: "How is Captain Guan and the others now? When did Deputy Teacher Liu and the others go there?"

Guo Zhicheng said in a low voice: "The brothers from the cavalry regiment came out from the side of our fortress, and the two battalions suddenly attacked the enemy from both sides not far in front of us. More than 1000 enemies were quickly killed by half of them. Later, the enemy infantry came up, and now they are facing each other on the Sanduanliang line in the east. Because our Jingzigou Fortress and Shijiangshan Fortress are both hidden fortresses, we did not fire reinforcements.”

"Your handling is right and worthy of praise!" Cheng Shijie patted Guo Zhicheng on the shoulder and said, "Jingzigou and Shijiangshan are not prepared for ordinary battles, they are strategic fortresses. Only when the enemy After breaking through your command post and directly threatening Chifeng, you can use these two fortresses to attack the enemy's rear guard."

Guo Zhicheng's eyes were firm: "Teacher, don't worry, these two fortresses are equivalent to the firepower points on the battlefield. They are used as closed doors to fight dogs at the most critical moment. If these two fortresses are exposed in advance, it will be lost." The meaning of existence."

After hearing Guo Zhicheng's understanding of the functions of the fortress, Cheng Shijie was basically relieved: "Understanding is correct! Instruct your artillery observers to use the artillery scope to observe the entire battlefield, and report any situation at any time!"

Guo Zhicheng was right. Guan Xiong's Second Battalion had set up a formation on the line of Sanduanliang, controlling a width of 500 meters in the northeast direction, preparing to block the enemy.

This is a hillside from southeast to northwest, the higher it goes to the northwest, the main peak is the "Mason Mountain Fortress"!

There are three steps in total, so the locals call it "three sections of beams".After the second battalion arrived here, they all dismounted and built fortifications on these three steps. The 72 light machine guns in the whole battalion were arranged in three steps.

Ordinary soldiers don't know that there is a military fortress on the main peak behind them, but Guan Xiong, as the commander of the cavalry, of course knows it, and also knows that this fortress must not be discovered by outsiders, so he asked the second battalion to retreat from the front and defend here , just worried that Li Shouxin would seize the commanding heights here, so he naturally discovered the fortress!

The Second Battalion Commander didn't know Guan Xiong's true intentions, and was completely passive in carrying out orders on the battlefield.After he set up his position, he realized that this position could not stop the enemy from attacking the front line of Linxi Town.

Because this place is in the northwest of Linxi Town, if the enemy doesn't attack here at all, but runs directly to the southeast, they can rush to Linxi Town directly!

Therefore, when Guan Xiong led the guard company over, the Second Battalion Commander immediately approached him: "Regiment Commander, are you mistaken? How can we build a position here to block the enemy's advance? We should cut off the road at the foot of the mountain! "

"You know what!" Guan Xiong saw that there were many ordinary soldiers nearby, and he couldn't explain that he was actually guarding the Mason Mountain Fortress: "Just follow the order! If the enemy doesn't attack here, there will naturally be three battalions to deal with them. Don't you worry? Ball! Order all soldiers to be on alert to prevent the enemy from seizing the commanding heights behind you!"

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
