Chapter 1583 The sudden change of military situation in Zhongwangzhou (1)
"The tunnel is about to start construction of a second railway. After completion, it can be opened in two directions at the same time. At that time, one group of trains will be ready, one group will be waiting, one group will be repaired, and one group will rest. Four groups of trains will be able to use the Xijiang Tunnel safely and efficiently.
.”
Ding Kui has memories of his previous life and experience accumulated in Nanzhao Prefecture. Even though he lives in a temple, he understands the railcar business.
"Oh, it will be faster for the army to move south like this. It will be just around the corner to regain the entire Zhongwangzhou!"
Now that the rebels are conquering the land, Shaodianjian is the only state pastor who still persists in resisting.
"Report!" A fast horse galloped over. "The military situation on the front line has changed. Mr. Jiang has asked Mr. Zhou Mu to return to Zhennancheng as soon as possible."
…
Long Tan patted the horse's neck, his palms were wet and stained with the sweat of the war horse.
He looked back.
Behind the hills, beside the narrow mountain roads, under the big trees, in the grass, next to the big rocks, on the gentle slopes...there were heavily armed soldiers sitting everywhere.
"It's time to take a break!"
After Long Tan finished speaking, he jumped off the horse and quickly removed the equipment from the horse.
Their troops set out in a hurry and did not prepare extra horses for the cavalry. The horses also needed to rest when the soldiers rested.
He tied up his horse, climbed up a big tree, stretched his neck and looked down.
Sand and dust were billowing under the hill, and tens of thousands of troops were vaguely besieging a camp. In the center of the camp, a military flag of the 21st Army Corps was flying.
The story starts at midnight last night.
Two days after the 21st Army captured Nanguo County, the 206th Division, where Longtan Brigade was located, was resting in a camp outside the county city.
In the middle of the night, scouts suddenly came to report that the 209th Division, which was supporting the main force, was surrounded in the north.
After Nanguo County was recovered, the Fengliangbu, which was covering the flanks, advanced forty miles to the west, preparing to sweep away the rebels in the northern part of Nanguo County.
The Mu family had already fled Nanguo County. Almost everyone thought that there were no organized rebels in Nanguo County. How could they have imagined that enemies could surround the 209th Division.
Not only that, scouts came one after another to report that the 203rd Division and rearguard units responsible for supporting the south also encountered enemy raids.
Chief of Staff Liang Gong immediately ordered the 206th Division to reinforce the 209th and 203rd Divisions, and the 201st Division to return to reinforce the rearguard.
The troops in the front of the attack can be recovered and moved closer to the county. Their importance cannot be compared with the rearguard troops, so the reinforcements are only 5,000.
Longtan's first brigade was a cavalry brigade. It set off immediately after receiving the order, without waiting for the other four brigade, in order to get to the battlefield as soon as possible.
They marched at full speed without stopping for a moment, and finally arrived at the hill at dawn.
"Report to the dragon team that enemy scouts have noticed us."
Attention and discovery are two concepts. Attention is knowing that there is an army somewhere, and discovery is knowing that a certain army is somewhere.
"It doesn't matter!" Long Tan jumped down from the tree, "The enemy is well prepared. Tens of thousands of people are besieging the 209th Division's camp. They will not be unprepared for Yuan Jun. They will draw attention to us and make it easier for other brigades."
"How do we fight?" Several squadron leaders gathered around, chewing dry food and holding water bags in their hands.
One looked at the eldest squadron leader and said: "Find the weakest defense point and rush in. Follow General Feng and explain the situation. Let him decide whether to defend or withdraw."
The rescue force was a visiting force, and the leader, Long Tan, was only at the level of captain. According to regulations, he had to obey the command of Feng Liang, the commander of the 209th Division.
"The 209th Division wanted to withdraw long ago and will not wait until now. According to the intention of the bid, our troops should directly penetrate the enemy's center. General Feng will definitely lead his troops out of camp and cooperate with our troops to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." The strongest.
The squadron leader is more radical.
"Didn't you notice? Did the traitor appear suddenly, or did he appear from several places at the same time? What does this mean?"
Long Tan stopped everyone with one sentence, and all the squadron leaders shut their mouths.
"Read the military books more often, don't keep immersing yourself in training with that dead body." Long Tan punched the strongest squadron leader in the chest.
"The traitors are premeditated." The strongest squadron leader touched his chest and pumped his chest vigorously, as if to say that this is not dead flesh.
"Nonsense! What kind of premeditation?"
"Cough, cough, cough." The strongest squadron leader coughed while stroking his chest.
"Hmph! The traitor can either hide in a very secret place in advance, avoid our army's eyes and ears, and only show up at the appointed time; or he can run over outside our army's reconnaissance range and not be too far away. It takes about half a night.
distance."
"Why half the night?" The strongest squadron leader looked puzzled.
The squadron leader next to him couldn't help it anymore, raised his elbow to say goodbye to him, and said: "The enemy launched the attack in the middle of the night, and our scouts returned to camp at nightfall. Based on this, we can calculate the half-night journey."
"Oh!" He suddenly realized.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense!" Long Calm said sternly, "No matter what the situation is, the rebels do not have a stable camp nearby, so the war cannot last too long and can only be resolved quickly."
"What Dragon Squadron said makes sense, we should rush into the 209th Division camp and hold on until the enemy retreats." The eldest squadron leader felt that Long Tan supported his opinion.
"No!"
Long Tankui's big palm almost covered the face of the oldest squadron leader.
"There is a big difference in the strength of the enemy and our troops. We rushed into the 209th Division camp. Even if we defended it, we would suffer heavy casualties, which is not conducive to the army's subsequent strategic deployment. If the battle ends like this, it is a failure for us."
He glanced at the captains and continued: "Although the rebels must have cavalry troops, they came all the way and fought fiercely in the middle of the night. Their current condition is definitely not as good as ours."
"Therefore, we must make good use of our own advantages to catch the enemy off guard, disrupt their formation, and create opportunities for General Feng."
The 21st Army Corps has only one "Ding Kui Squadron" so far, and there has not yet been a brigade named after an individual. Many people in the army are thinking about this matter.
The might of the Legion has left, is it necessary to set a new example?
Among these people who were worried about Gu Jun was Long Tan.
At the camp under the hill, Feng Liang climbed up to the observation deck again and fixed his gaze on one spot among the hills of different heights.
The 21st Army Corps was fully prepared for this expedition. They immediately repaired the magic communication array on the day they captured Nanguo County. The magicians of the 209th Division had received the communication and knew that reinforcements were sent from the base camp.
"Sir, are you sure the reinforcements have arrived?" A white-robed magician came to Feng Liang's side.
Feng Liang pointed his finger and said: "Look, enemy scouts elsewhere are constantly shuttling back and forth, but that hillock has only left and never returned. Judging from the location and time, the leading troops of the reinforcements should have arrived."
"I gonna go see?"
"Wait a minute, the enemy is attacking very urgently, and the defense of the camp needs you even more at this time." Feng Liang touched the short beard under his chin, "Dragon Calm is getting better and better. Since he didn't forcefully break into the enemy's formation, he probably has other plans...
