"What's going on? Why are you being chased all the way? Are you not prepared to block the position?" Zhao Xueqiu listened to the fierce gunfire and couldn't help asking Yuan Renlong for a few more questions.

"Two of our three regiments stayed at the Luomapo. We originally expected to use one regiment to take down the Wild Boar Forest Pass and then mobilize the army to enter the mountain. After all, this place is too far away, and it is inconvenient to supply food and bullets!" Yuan Renlong did not expect that these guys in the mountains would suddenly come out. The defensive for more than a week successfully paralyzed his vigilance.

"Can the artillery keep up with it when running like this?" Zhao Xueqiu rode up the hillside. Looking around, there were soldiers running all over the mountains, running in a mess without a formation. On the contrary, the artillery was dragging artillery trucks and shells, and could not run at all on the mountain road, and they squeezed into a group of chasing troops. The guards were in charge of defending each battalion, fighting with waves of attacks from the pursuers, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

"The Guard Battalion, with this hillside as the boundary, immediately organizes a blocking position and connects the artillery battalion." The Artillery battalion is Zhao Xueqiu's treasure. He did not hesitate to take his guard guard battalion to rescue this artillery battalion.

"Lin San, collect the troops immediately, arrest as much as you can, and immediately order to go back to fight. The artillery battalion must be brought back!" Yuan Renlong felt somewhat ashamed. He accidentally put the troops in danger. After all, it was his responsibility as the commander!

"Old Yuan, has the notification from the fallen side of Mapo? Our troops cannot last long!" Zhao Xueqiu is also an expert on the battlefield. If you observe the opponent's attack frequency roughly, you can probably estimate that there will be no less than one regiment of pursuers.

"I have already notified that the two regiments will arrive at full speed." Yuan Renlong licked his dry lips and suggested: "Stand Master, please take some people first. I promise to bring the artillery battalion back here."

"Tsk, what are you going? As long as we resist the enemy's attack, this place is the safest!" Zhao Xueqiu adjusted his horse, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said, "As a result, he said. In this chaotic pursuit battlefield, it is impossible to rush out a team of enemy troops. If there are fewer people, it is difficult to say. If you bring too many, you can't stand it. Therefore, Zhao Xueqiu, who is old, simply wants to fight the war. At least with him as the division commander himself, the morale of the soldiers below will not be depressed. Of course, he is also very trusting in the combat power of his guard battalion. He can still hold on to the impact of a regiment.

Sure enough, the quality of the guard battalion is different. It quickly centers on the hillside, relies on the woods, and quickly builds firepower points. Where the soil is thicker, it quickly digs simple trenches and foxholes, and takes the fastest speed to set up a defensive position of three or four miles in radius.

In contrast, Lin San's third regiment was so tired that it was unreasonable. Even if he, the brigade commander, led the team to shelter, he had only collected less than 500 people. The rest of the dead, injured, were absent, distracted, and surrendered, and 20% of them went down.

An hour later, the artillery battalion finally arrived on the hillside. However, there were only four of the six mountain cannons left at this moment, and three shell cars were robbed. Now each cannon has an average of more than ten shells. The artillery guard battalion that followed also suffered heavy casualties, and more than 500 people could fight, with more than 200 casualties and more than half of them were killed or injured!

"Brothers, thank you all! Eat some food and drink some water, and hurry up and take a rest." Zhao Xueqiu did not blame the embarrassing soldiers too much, but instead encouraged enthusiastically, "Is this warning battalion commander Liu? It's very good. When I go back, I will promote you!"

"Thank you! Liu Matian is so humble that he can't protect the artillery. He is really sorry!" Liu Matian looked so big. He opened his mouth and mouthed yellow teeth. His appearance was a bit bad, but his fierceness is worthy of praise. At least he can protect the artillery for more than ten miles, and he is also a brave general. The key is that this guy is quite modest and should be a talent worth cultivating.

"Liu Mazi, don't be pretentious. Now I order you to act as the leader of the Third Regiment, immediately reorganize the troops and prepare to join the battle!" Lin San immediately used him. The original leader of the Third Regiment was a bad guy. The regiment headquarters was shot by a heavy mortar in the mountains. He was bombed and he didn't know where he died! No wonder the whole regiment collapsed in an instant, and the whole mess became a retreating riot!

"Yes! I will lead the team to join the battle immediately!" Liu Mazi was overjoyed and immediately stood at attention and hurriedly took office. The new official took office three times, and soon more than 700 soldiers were organized into the team and completed their pre-war preparations.

"Well, I have to be considered my soldier in this way!" Zhao Xueqiu nodded, and continued to smoke slowly: This time, the attack on Wang Shan was a great loss. He took turns to attack the wild boar Lin Pass, and nearly 2,000 people were killed or injured, and two cannons were lost. Now he was chased by the opponent and was very passive. All this loss was about to be turned into useless by the order of the upsurge in the peak. It was really not worth the effort! If you don't regret it in your heart, it would be somewhat unrealistic.

"Teacher, this team in the mountains cannot be underestimated! Look, they are catching up now and when they see our positions, they stop attacking together, quickly combined into three clusters, surrounded by three sides!" Yuan Renlong held up his telescope and quickly reported it to Zhao Xueqiudao. The so-called orders are prohibited, and the strong army is just like this! Moreover, such a chaotic pursuit battle, stopping as soon as they say they stop, and they can quickly return to the army, which shows that their organizational organization is quite strict and orderly!

"Well, this kid Chen Long is very good at training troops. Of course we can't underestimate them!" Zhao Xueqiu also raised his telescope and observed it carefully, "But we should not belittle ourselves. I think the opponent just saw the tight defense of our guard battalion, so he stopped blind pursuit!"

"That's right! The guard battalion of our division is not comparable to that of ordinary troops?! No matter how awesome he is in Wangshan's Independent Division, he has to think twice!" Yuan Renlong gave him a flattery, and Zhao Xueqiu nodded easily when he said it!

................

"Oh, there's something. You dare to stop and seize the terrain to block the attack. The northern Henan garrison division is not all a fool!" At this moment, on a hillside opposite, there were also a group of officers watching with telescopes. The commander of the Fourth Regiment, Ma Ziwu, and deputy commander Lu Jinbao accompanied the chief of staff of the column, Tan Sihu, and pointed at the enemy opposite to discuss. Lu Jinbao saw that the enemy had squatted down on the spot and said happily.

"You can't underestimate this guy. Have you ever had a closer look? The troops guarding the hillside are not ordinary equipment. Submachine guns account for more than 60% of them. Maybe they should be Zhao Xueqiu's most elite guard battalion!" Tan Sihu observed carefully and reminded the officers around him.

"Oh, I've caught a big fish like that? Do you want to solve it on the spot?" Lu Jinbao hurriedly raised his telescope and searched for Zhao Xueqiu's command post everywhere.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult! At most, in the evening, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive." Tan Sihu replied regretfully, "We have insufficient troops to attack, which is basically the same as the enemy's defenders. It may not be that easy to take them down!"

In fact, there is still a little meaning in his words: if a strong attack is made for Zhao Xueqiu, it will inevitably lead to huge casualties. Even if Zhao Xueqiu is killed, the loss of the fourth regiment will not be very meaningful. Besides, if a lieutenant general and commander are killed in the friction, it will probably cause too much trouble. In the future, Chen Long will use the national army's skin to operate!

However, since they are surrounded, they will never let them get more blood!
