Chapter 1422 The rain hits the city of accumulating sand
Bad weather is a hindrance, but if used well it can also be a help.
Under the heavy rain, the water flow in the drainage channel was very fast, and it was very difficult to sneak in through the water gate. Dou Xiaoqi knew that, and the defenders also knew that as long as the difficulties were overcome, they could be turned into opportunities.
Dou Xiaoqi planned to bet on the Sun brothers and take a chance.
The special operations group immediately took action. The main force moved to the south of Jisha City, controlled the villages and towns to the south, found a group of small boats, and selected a commando team of 500 people, preparing to follow the Sun brothers into the city.
After the preparations were completed, the Sun brothers and the township party were preparing to board the ship with the commando team. Lei Feixiang rushed to the river in the rain.
"After today's battle, I approve you to join the National Defense Army," Commander Lei promised the Sun brothers.
Sun Liyi was so excited that he led the people of Ligang Town to swear allegiance to the Jianguo on the spot.
"I'm asking two water magicians to cooperate with your actions. You must move quickly and resolve the battle before noon!" Lei Feixiang not only talked about it but actually brought two magicians.
This decision was quite correct. He knew how to use magic to coordinate operations, and gradually progressed from the command of a local army to the command of a regular army.
I don't know whether it was because the defenders of Jisha City were too lax or the Sun brothers were really good at water. The iron gate of the water gate in the south of the city was quietly opened, and a cloud of water mist covered the commando team as they rushed into the water gate.
"Enemies! Enemies have entered the city!" An alarm sounded in the city, and at the same time, a large number of armed troops appeared outside the city.
Like wolves and tigers, the commandos rushed into the city and divided into five teams, advancing towards different targets. No one dared to step forward to stop them.
The Sun brothers and the people from Ligang Town were guarding the water gate. The eldest brother was holding a repeating crossbow, the second brother was holding an iron shield, and the youngest was wearing fine armor and carrying an iron rod. They were all armed.
The Second and Third Battalions of the Special Warfare Battalion had rushed outside the water gate and used the boat as a springboard to get into the city, while Dou Xiaoqi led the First Battalion to the next city, Donglai City.
There are 5,000 Jisha city defense troops, which should be said to be capable of fighting. However, enemies appear both inside and outside the city at the same time. No matter how experienced the commander is, he cannot suppress the panicked soldiers. In addition, the city gate is easily blocked by a big monster.
After breaking through, the soldiers who retreated from the south gate led the whole city to flee.
The gray-bearded Mo Jun strolled into Jisha City and watched with joy as one group after another of his subordinates ran past him, once again capturing a city without any loss.
"Are you the martyrs of Ligang Town?" He saw a group of strangely dressed soldiers. The National Guards had neat military uniforms that were patchworked together.
"Reporting to the officer, the lower ranks are now members of the National Guard Army." Sun Liyi immediately gave the old officer a standard military salute.
"Yes, yes! I am Mo Jun, commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment. Remember to join my unit after you graduate from training."
"Can we, low-level people, join your army now?" Sun Liyi was very excited.
"No, you don't know anything now. You need to go through training before you can officially become a national protector."
Sun Liyi was dumbfounded and said: "Yes, but Commander Lei promised that we can join the National Defense Army after this battle."
"There is no contradiction between his promise to you and your going to train."
Mo Jun knew that these people did not understand the rules, so he turned around and pointed at a strong man and shouted: "Xiaofan, come here! Let me introduce to you. He used to be the commander of a fortress. He only came to Nanqiu County last year. Now he is studying at Ju
Yang Military Academy, this time you come to me as an intern, and you don’t have a formal military position yet.”
The Xiaofan he refers to is Fan Dongci, who was specially transferred from the military academy to the front line for internship. Fan Dongci was lucky. When the military went to the military academy to find people, there were not many students there, so he just happened to catch up with the first batch of interns.
When the people who came from Ligang Town heard this, they were convinced. They were originally commander-level officers, and their military capabilities were much stronger than them. They also had to train and study before becoming the National Protector Army. There was nothing to be said for them coming from wild backgrounds.
complain.
"Master Mo has taken a liking to you, you will make a lot of money! Do you know which legion Master Mo retired from before?" Fan Dongci stood next to Mo Jun like a primary school student, with a look of fascination on his face.
Sun Lizhi's heart suddenly moved and he quickly asked: "Is it the Eighth Army Corps?"
Mo Jun raised his eyebrows, while Fan Dongci nodded arrogantly: "This brother is very smart!"
"Wow!" The villagers in Ligang Town looked at Mo Jun with enthusiasm.
When a soldier of the Eighth Army, the ultimate wish of all civilian soldiers, is chosen by an officer from the Eighth Army, that is also a great honor.
"Haha, you don't have to be impatient. I have already ordered someone to write a letter of recommendation and recommend that you go to the Tunchang County Camp for training. Those with excellent grades can be sent to the Juyang Military Academy. Not to mention the National Defense Army, there is also a chance to join the Eighth Army.
It's possible." Lei Feixiang also entered the city.
"Master Lei, I don't want to bring the people who deceived me like this. They promised to come together." Mo Jun was unhappy, "Whoever dares to steal people from my subordinates, I will go to his superiors to reason with him."
The one he is least afraid of is the Eighth Army. He believes that the division commanders will give him face, and he can also go to Ding Kui to complain.
"Oh, I respect their personal opinions." Lei Feixiang said hello and left, not wanting to offend the old group leader.
He had to rush to the Magic Guild to find out if there were any rumors about the war situation in this city.
One of the first commandos to enter the city had a platoon guarding the outside of the Magic Guild. It seemed that after a bloody battle, a large number of corpses of the city defense troops were lying on both sides of the street. The platoon also paid the price of twenty or thirty casualties.
"Report to the teacher, no one can enter the Magic Guild."
This shows that the news of the fall of Jisha City did not spread.
Heavy rain caused a lot of trouble for the First Division, but it was not without its benefits. The letter eagle could not fly in the rain, so the only two ways to deliver the news were magic transmission and sending people to deliver the message.
The Magic Guild is blocked, a special warfare battalion is stationed on the road leading to Donglai City, and all methods of delivering messages are ineffective.
"Niu Erbing!" Lei Feixiang ordered the general at the city lord's mansion.
"My subordinates are here!" Niu Erbing was promoted to commander of the third infantry regiment.
"The troops directly under the First and Second Regiments are assigned to your command. We must capture Donglai City within today!" Lei Feixiang gave up his plan to capture three cities today.
"Yes!" Niu Erbing immediately led his troops out.
Heavy rain enveloped the southern part of Yanling County and Nanqiu County. The mahjong game at Earl's Mansion had dispersed. Ding Kui looked up at the sky without saying a word.
Jiang Xi and Kong Ren came together. After a night's rest, they regained their energy.
"I've met my second uncle, Brother Kong." Ding Kui came back to his senses. "What? Are you worried that the weather will affect the battle situation?" Jiang Xi could see that he was in a bad mood.
"It will definitely have an impact. The heavy rain happened to fall in the area where we attacked, but the enemy's reinforcements were not affected."
Ding Kui specifically asked about the weather conditions in Huashan County and knew that it had not rained in the north of Yanling County.
"Are you sure the enemy has reinforcements rushing to Yanling County?" Kong Ren immediately went to look at the military intelligence report on the desktop.
"Not sure. The terrain in the north of Yanling County is relatively flat. The Tenth Army can attack at any time. All we invest there are infantry. We have to find a way to transfer the Tenth Army." Ding Kui could not let go of the threat of the Cavalry Army.
"It's unlikely that they will be transferred." Fei Ze sent the latest news. The figure of the 10th Army Corps appeared along the coast of Jinping County.
Kong Ren analyzed: "It's good news, but it's also bad news. The navy confused the Tenth Army Corps, but they will soon realize that Yanling County is the direction of our main attack."
"Jisha City sent word that one division captured the entire city." Qian You sent the battle report.
"Oh! Is Yanling County really our main attack direction?" Ding Kui looked at the battle report in trance.
"Ah?" Kong Ren couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
Jiang Xi smiled and sighed: "Young people are really capable of tossing, can they fight so willfully?"
"My lord has understood these four words: war is impermanent. Choosing the lord as your opponent will at least shorten your life for a few years."
"Hahaha, when did Mr. Fei learn to flatter? I like it!" Ding Kui smiled and handed the battle report to Kong Ren, "Military supplies consume a lot of manpower, and it is not easy to solve during the Chinese New Year."
"Spend money! Obtaining more land and population as soon as possible can reduce the pressure on the national debt. Spending more money on the front line is worth it! There will be more surplus private wealth, which will make it easier for you to issue national debt again." Fei Ze learned quickly.
"Think again and let Mr. Liu come up with a plan. I will see it tomorrow morning." Ding Kui did not rush to make a decision.
Now one of his decisions can affect the fate of thousands of people, involving hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and there is no room for error.
Good news kept coming back from the front line of Yanling County. The 3rd Infantry Regiment captured Donglai City. The 75th Division captured Xiaqiu City and opened up the connection with Shiwa City. The 74th Division forced the surrender of Jianshi City and threatened Yanling County from a high position. North.
The Earl's Mansion built a sand table for Yanling County in the side hall, and Ding Kui also moved his office to the side hall.
"If we can reach the vicinity of Yanling County City tomorrow, the enemy's reinforcements will not be able to arrive in time, and the Tenth Army Corps will not dare to go deep into the mountainous area. The day after tomorrow, we can complete the first phase goal and capture Yanling County City." Kong Ren said at the six occupied buildings The city raised a red flag.
Ding Kui asked: "Where is the 199,200 Division?"
"Following your order, we have returned to Shiwa City." Kong Ren was completing the mark on the sand table.
"Let Lei Feixiang advance to Xianggou City to set up defenses, mainly to prevent cavalry sneak attacks." Ding Kui picked up a small fence and placed it above Xianggou City.
"Aren't we going to capture the five cities along the coast?" Kong Ren was puzzled.
"The enemy has no navy anymore. We can capture the cities along the coast whenever we want. If we press but don't attack, the remaining two cities will change sooner or later.
I have thought about using the northern part of Yanling County as a huge training base to train troops who lack actual combat experience." Ding Kui made the decision.
"Aren't you worried about helping the enemy train a strong force?" Kong Ren placed a small arrow above Donglai City.
"I'm afraid the enemy will not come and die." Ding Kui was very confident in his subordinates.
Kong Ren burst into laughter, planted a small skull flag on the Yanling County City, and then took a step back to see if he had missed any places that had not been updated.
"I think you should stop being busy at the rear and go to the front line of Yanling County to exercise." Ding Kui put his hand on Kong Ren's shoulder.
