A second-line security force composed of about 10,000 new soldiers faced off against more than 60,000 Qing troops. Hei Yunlong could not imagine the outcome.
Anyway, according to the predictions of the headquarters, it will definitely be very tragic.
This is also the main reason why the security forces are placed on the second line.
But the situation is already like this. If the 24th Division does not take the lead and allows the Qing army led by Azig to rush into the Fen River Valley, it will bring unpredictable consequences to the entire war.
Hei Yunlong knew that his decision was a bit cruel and that many people would oppose it. But for the sake of the overall situation, he decided to persuade his colleagues.
However, what he didn't expect was that just after he made up his mind, the rest of the people started getting busy.
"There are three roads from Daning to the Fen River Valley. One is from Pu County, which is facing us, one is through the Dongchuan River Valley, and the other is through Xi County and through Shikou. It is impossible for our division alone to take the
All three passages are secured and friendly forces must be contacted immediately."
Deputy division commander Luo Shengwei listed the battlefield situation in a short period of time.
"you……"
Hei Yunlong looked in shock and saw that everyone's expressions were as usual. It was as if his determination just now was as simple as going on a trip.
The strategy of the 26th Division is that whichever unit arrives at the predetermined battlefield first will go into battle first.
The 26th Division received the latest information.
"Haha, you are not afraid of us, division commander, so what are we afraid of? Besides, we are all soldiers, how can we not compare with their field troops? I don't believe it. If they can do it on the battlefield, we can do it too.
"
He was like this, and everyone in the 26th Division was determined to die.
This made his eyes bloodshot and he was even more moved.
No matter who the follow-up troops arrive, they do not need to obey orders and go directly into battle.
Unfortunately, the place where we were stationed at 26:00 was the farthest away, so it was very likely that we would be too late.
Hearing that the friendly troops in the rear were fighting desperately, everyone in the 6th Division transformed into wolves.
A regiment of the security division only has less than 2,000 people. It will undoubtedly be more difficult to stop tens of thousands of Qing troops.
Xinchuan turns here, and there is a river crossing the Luliang Mountains to the north, and there is also a land route directly to Linfen. Only by guarding this place can the Qing army prevent the Qing army from seizing the road.
But Gu Zhiqi never looked back.
"That's right. Why did we become a second-line force just because we arrived late, and they are the main force? Didn't you see that the nostrils of those field troops were raised to the sky? We also have to fight hard.
Fight, let them understand clearly that we are no worse than them."
Heiyunlong received the support of everyone and quickly entered the state.
There is no retreat at all. Even if there is only one soldier left, we must hold our position until the follow-up troops come in.
They began to quicken their pace and headed straight north, never letting down the opportunity that the friendly forces had fought for them.
Hei Yunlong stood on the shore of Xinchuan, staring at the progress of his troops' fortifications, while still caring about the situation of friendly forces.
Division commander Gu Zhiqi sensed the seriousness of the situation.
The crowd cheered loudly, and their blood was boiling.
Military administration should have played a role in pacifying the entire army, but Cao Bixuan was more warlike than ordinary soldiers.
Almost on the same day, after receiving the intelligence, the 25th Division stationed in Huozhou chose the same approach as the 24th Division.
Jian Zongan wanted to quickly eliminate Duduo and then turn around and come back for reinforcements. However, the three security divisions wanted to rely on their own strength to fight Azig.
When my feet really stood on the soil of Shikou, endless fatigue swept through my body.
Even if Azig cannot be completely eliminated, this Qing army must be completely defeated and lose its combat effectiveness.
The combat order was quickly conveyed, and the 24th Division, which was originally in a loose state, quickly completed its assembly. Apart from carrying the necessary combat supplies, it did not care about anything and began to march in the direction of Pu County.
He immediately sent messengers to convey the situation to the 25th Division stationed in Huozhou and Xiaoyi's 26th Division respectively, and informed the 24th Division's combat intentions.
They needed to reach the Xinchuan coast before the Qing army and establish a defense line here.
When Jian Zongan walked to Yikouzhai, he received news of a fire in the backyard and learned the response plan of the three security divisions.
The opportunity is in front of them today, they will only be happy, how can they be afraid?
Even if the entire division was killed, the Qing army would never be allowed to rush through Shikou.
He felt that if Azig really wanted to rush into the Fen River Valley, he would probably bear the brunt along the way.
It was more than three hundred miles from Xiaoyi to Shikou, and half of it was a rugged mountain road. However, the soldiers of the 13th Regiment led by Gu Zhiqi arrived there in only two nights and one day.
While he sent people to quickly deliver a message to the Sixth Division, he personally led a regiment to set off lightly and headed straight for Shikou.
After gathering, the entire division rushed into the Luliang Mountains and began to build a defense line where the Dongchuan River bifurcated.
These people in front of me all have a heart to make achievements, and no one is willing to be mediocre.
Heiyunlong understood.
They want to buy time for the main force on the northern front to completely annihilate Duduo.
Since it is difficult for one security division to defeat the Qing army, what about three security divisions?
Even though they knew their bodies were at their limit, the soldiers of the 13th Regiment still supported themselves and began to collect supplies to establish a defensive front at the mouth of the valley.
The follow-up troops did not know when they would arrive. They had to drag their bodies to the limit and fight to the death with the Qing army that could arrive at any time.
"Tell the soldiers that behind us, our comrades from the three security divisions are buying us time with their lives. If we delay a little longer, they will pay greater sacrifices. Abandon fatigue, speed up, and destroy Duduo first.
Destroy Azigh again."
Soon, the situation was reported to all the soldiers on the march.
Although the three security divisions on the southern line are far apart, they have exerted their subjective initiative and established continuous communication channels with each other.
"Tell the 25th Division and the 26th Division that no matter who encounters the Qing army, they must send a message immediately. We will never watch helplessly and let them fight alone."
No matter how powerful the tiger is, it can't defeat a pack of wolves, let alone the geographical advantage they have.
Chief of Staff Lu Zhenwei's loud voice spoke to everyone's heart.
It's good to delay every minute.
After he led the vanguard group to set off, deputy division commander Zhang Sanming coordinated the main forces as quickly as possible and sent them forward one by one.
With such comrades in arms, what should the Qing army fear?
"Okay! Since everyone dares to fight, our 24th Division will fight with great glory. Let His Majesty, the General Headquarters, and the Cluster Headquarters take a good look at us. We are also Imperial soldiers."
Just three hours after the 13th Regiment arrived at Shikou, the Qing cavalry rushed into the valley.
Seeing that there were actually national defense troops here, the Qing army was really startled and quickly retreated slowly.
Another hour passed, and the road in the distance was filled with smoke and dust, and flags were like clouds.
