The Republic of Heroes

Su County is the gateway to Bengbu, and there is absolutely nothing to lose here. Before that, Chen Cheng sent Gui Yongqing's No.30 Brigade to station here. Although there are not many people, they are the elite of his [-]th Division, with extraordinary combat effectiveness, but they will also face Shandong. Army front.It is unreasonable to put the elite confidants on the front line as cannon fodder. In fact, he also has a reason for concentrating all the main forces of the [-]th Division in Bengbu and putting his direct lineage on the front line.

The original commander of the [-]th Division was Cao Wanshun, who was dismissed by Jiang Zhongzheng due to the appointment of a personal matter, which made Chen Cheng become the division commander from the deputy division commander.The expansion of the [-]th Division was after Chen Cheng took charge of the army. Therefore, the current situation of the [-]th Division is that there are many old people who are capable of fighting, and there are many unreliable people. Although the newly expanded troops are reliable, their combat effectiveness is not good, so he weighed Gui Yongqing who was on his side was dispatched.

It is also because Chen Cheng's control over the eleventh division is not very stable at present, so he is still in the process of adjusting the troops of various departments, but many plans for the current war have been put on hold.

The Dong Haibin Department of the Shandong Army came so fiercely that they surrounded Suxian County almost overnight. Gui Yongqing sent back seven telegrams asking for help in a row, which shows the critical situation.

Chen Cheng is a person who is very efficient. He puts all the departments of the headquarters together to work, and all work problems can be solved without going out of the door. This measure has greatly solved the procrastination atmosphere within the party-state.With the teacher in front, who dares to stroke the tiger's beard and hit the muzzle of the gun so blindly.

The telegram was ticking, and the staff members were a little flustered. The Shandong army was coming so violently that they surrounded Su County with a division of troops. It would be too late to send people there now, and Brigadier Gui would inevitably die for his country.

"Master seat, a telegram from Brigadier Gui."

"Read!"

Chen Cheng ordered coldly with a blank face.

"Master Zuo Junjian, our department has decided to die for the country..."

This time, it was no longer an urgent telegram for help, but a desperate telegram.The suppressed buzzing sound in the headquarters stopped abruptly, and they all smelled a hint of determination in Gui Yongqing's last pen. .Everyone knows that Su County is over, and Gui Yongqing is over.

The Seventeenth Division of the Shandong Army swallowed Gui Yongqing's troops like a tiger breaking down a mountain, like a Yellow River breaking its embankment.

"In accordance with the order of the division department, the 32nd and 33rd brigades will set off immediately, without delay, and gallop to Su County."

Everyone was stunned, Su County was finished, but why did the commander send heavy troops to rescue?Maybe Brigadier Gui has died for the country now. As long as Su County is lost, the [-]th Division will advance southward with the power of victory.

But since Chen Cheng took office as the division commander, he has been known for his lack of respect. Anyone who dares to postpone military affairs thinks that his head is too secure on his neck.Therefore, although the staff officers had doubts about this, they still carried out the order without compromise, formulated the combat plan as quickly as possible, and issued it to the combat troops.

An hour later, the 32nd Brigade was the first to assemble and rushed to the aid of Su County.Immediately afterwards, the 33rd brigade also set off.Chen Cheng looked at the troops that disappeared behind him, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Dong Haibin, Dong Haibin, do you think I, Chen Cheng, can't see the tricks of besieging the city and fighting for aid?Not only did I see it, but I also took people to Su County brazenly to see who would win.

Chen Cheng was predicting that Dong Haibin would besiege the city and fight for aid. Although the attack on Su County was fierce, it would not really break through the city. Otherwise, with the fighting power of Dong Haibin's Shandong Army, they failed to succeed in eight consecutive attacks. Wouldn't it be too strange?The only explanation is that he deliberately beat hard, but didn't really break through the city, just to attract his main force to rescue, and then Dong Haibin just waited for work and ate up his rescue team one by one.

But Gui Yongqing is his direct descendant, he must not turn a blind eye, and Chen Cheng is proud, he likes challenges, he realizes that Dong Haibin is a rare opponent, and at the same time he is also confident, he is confident in his eleventh division Will defeat Dong Haibin's Seventeenth Division, and then send troops to help at all costs.

Of course, the 32nd and 33rd Brigades did not go north on Yanjinpu Road, but detoured Lingbi and then turned to Su County.Then Dong Haibin probably didn't expect him to go far away, did he?Thinking of this, the sneer on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth suddenly became more smug.

……

Dong Haibin was not outside Su County at this time. The siege troops outside Su County were basically reserve soldiers to supplement the barracks. The 31st Brigade in the city had been disabled, and no team could stop Shandong on the domestic battlefield. The army artillery bombarded continuously for several hours, the city wall was riddled with holes, and several places collapsed, like a ruin that had been abandoned for a long time. If it weren't for the gunpowder smoke that would not dissipate on the battlefield, there would really be only death here. Annoyed.

The soldiers of the 31st Brigade were so suppressed that they couldn't lift their heads. The Shandong Army came forward with Mauser rifles to harvest the fruits of autumn like farmers waiting to harvest their crops after autumn. Withstood the attack of the mountains and tsunami.

This time they repelled the attack of the [-]th Division. According to the previous practice, once the assault infantry retreated, the bombardment would follow. The hail version of the cannonball that is about to fall from the sky.

But for half an hour, there was no movement on the battlefield. What's going on?There are bold soldiers, cursing.

"The **** is out of shells, we can finally take a breath."

These words were quickly responded to. The soldiers who were on full alert climbed out of the narrow hiding place and lay down on the ground hungry. They were too tired and it was time to relax, but they did not relax after ten seconds. Then, the sound of the cannon suddenly sounded, and the shells fell again. The poor soldiers lying on the ground had not had time to react, and a shell fell beside them...

Dong Haibin is currently in Guzhen, a hundred miles south of Suxian County, and he has gathered his main force here. This is the only place that Jinpu Road leads to Suxian County. The purpose of attacking but not breaking is to attract Chen Cheng's reinforcements so that they can be eliminated one by one on the way.

The reason for doing so was largely because he was not sure of winning a face-to-face conventional battle with Chen Cheng.Although Chen Cheng's Eleventh Division has only one division in terms of establishment, it actually has far more troops than an army, and he may not be able to take advantage of his full attack.Therefore, to attract his reinforcements to eliminate one by one can be regarded as a strategy of changing from using the few to attacking the many to using the many to attack the few.

In fact, he has already succeeded halfway in this strategy of being outnumbered. The intelligence personnel who had been hiding in Bengbu city had already sent him a secret message. At this moment, Chen Cheng had sent the 32nd and 33rd brigades northward.

Dong Haibin looked at his watch, he was a little irritable, and then he couldn't help laughing. How come he is timid when he is old, and he is worried about gains and losses. The desperate Saburo back then was not like this.Chen Cheng's dispatch of troops meant that he had stepped into the hole he had dug for him with one foot. According to the time calculation, the 32nd brigade that set out first at this time should not be far away from them, so he issued an order.

"Pass it on, pay attention to concealment, don't act rashly, and don't shoot without orders!"

Dong Haibing raised his wrist to check the time again, and said to himself, "It's about time..."

At the same time that Dong Haibin raised his wrist to check the time, Chen Cheng also raised his wrist to look at his watch at Bengbu, which is 32 miles south of Guzhen.He was judging where the [-]nd brigade that set off first had gone. He believed that if all went well, his troops would arrive at Lingbi in three hours, and they could launch a surprise attack on the Shandong army besieging the city of Su County before midnight.

In order to intercept the main force of his Eleventh Division, Dong Haibin will inevitably mobilize the main force to ambush on his only way, in order to annihilate his own vital forces in the first battle.Chen Cheng sneered again. It's a pity that his wishful thinking was wrong. The Eleventh Division will definitely send troops to help. The Eleventh Division led by Chen Cheng has no precedent for giving up his comrades, but he also did not take the initiative to run into the trap. A precedent for fire fighting.

The wishful thinking of Dong Haibin, commander of the 32th Division of the Shandong Army, is doomed to fail. Chen Cheng has silently sentenced Dong Haibin to death for his plan in his heart. All he needs to wait for now is the news that the [-]nd Brigade, as a vanguard force, exchanged fire with the Shandong Army in Su County. .

Next, the 33rd Brigade will arrive one after another, and will fight a bloody battle to successfully wipe out the defenders of the besieged city.The perfect plan, Dong Haibin's main force is still south of Su County, so they must be held back.

Chen Cheng had thought of this a long time ago. He had already sent the 34th and 35th Brigades to advance north along Yanjinpu Road, waiting for an opportunity to attack Dong Haibin's main force in an ambush, and tried to hold them back before the battle in Su County was over.Chen Cheng is still very self-aware of the combat effectiveness of the newly established 34th and 35th Brigades, and being able to hold back the main force of the [-]th Division is already the greatest victory.

Time ticked away amid tension and anxiety, and the staff of the division had fully understood and understood Chen Cheng's strategic intentions at this moment, so that they could use all their tricks, and Dong He, the Shandong army local leopard, would definitely not be defeated by the division commander. injustice.

……

In Nanjing, it was snowing heavily, Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang returned to Nanjing in a small car, just entered the residence, the adjutant rushed over with a telegram.

"Commander, the [-]th Division and the [-]th Division have exchanged fire in Su County."

"Understood, pay attention to the movement at any time, and report all information without delay."

Wu Xiaoliang didn't stop, but explained as he walked.Zhang Xueliang also followed in. He heard that the crucial battle had finally started, how could he go back with peace of mind, so he simply wanted to stay and pay attention to the outcome of the frontline battlefield at any time.Because this victory or defeat is too critical, it will directly affect the future fate of his Northeast Army.

From the moment he made his choice, he and Wu Xiaoliang had become two grasshoppers tied to the same rope, neither of them could run away.Jiang Zhong is an extremely vengeful person, he dare not hope that Lao Jiang will forgive himself, so he can only run to the dark.
