Chapter 1078 Before the decisive victory (Part 1)
Only those who have been to Mount Xianlu will know how dangerous the mountains in the Mount Xianlu are, with cliffs everywhere, and there are few trees and shrubs in the mountains, and bare stone mountains account for the majority.
Standing on this ridge, I looked at another mountain top that was only a few dozen meters away, but couldn't pass by. I wanted to go over, either go deep into the valley and climb up, or walk around for more than ten miles.
If Xuehua Mountain, Jiangrui Mountain, Guyong Peak, Beizhaoguan and others are important places for entrances and exits of Taihang, then the endless Xianlu Mountains behind it are the real dangerous place.
Many residents of villages may not have experienced going down the mountain in their lives, because the mountain is too steep, and going up and down the mountain is extremely dangerous.
However, Yinan Village is an extremely superior geographical location and is in a depression surrounded by mountains. The mountain people have opened terraces along the mountain to plant dryland crops for a living. The mountain people of all generations have experienced hundreds of years of hard work. The terraces are down layer by layer, like steps, looking down from the top of the mountain, it is spectacular.
It's not dangerous, it's important.
This is an important road where Wenzhang Pass connects Jiangrui Mountain through the Xianlu Mountains and then to Guyong Peak.
The purpose of the Black Eagle Army to open up Jiangrui Mountain is not only to detour Hexi Town to attack the rear wing of Guyong Peak, but also to transport materials. It is also necessary to transport materials from Luojin County to Guyong Peak Front, which is much further away from Xiongxinzhuang to Yinan Village to Jiangrui Mountain. Although the mountain roads are winding, the mountain roads in this area can pass carriages, which is definitely a must-have for small roads.
Liu Lang stood on the long canyon in front of Yinan Village, silent.
Beside him, there were Brigade Commander Wang with a confident and smiling face. Behind them, there were two rows of officers, namely Commander Xu of the 66th Regiment and three battalion commanders under him. Zhang Ruhao, deputy deputy of the Independent Regiment, also stood behind with the commanders of the three infantry battalions of the Independent Regiment.
In addition to the artillery battalion commander Zhao Ergou, who had not yet arrived, and Lin Li, who was in charge of the command of the Beizhaoguan Independent Regiment, all the commanders of the 18th Army and Independent Regiment who were preparing to ambush the Black Hawk Imperial Army in Yinan Village are here.
This is also what they accompanied Liu Lang to observe the terrain and assign combat tasks. Although they had been here less than ten times before, and they were familiar with the terrain here so that they could draw it with their eyes closed, this was the first time that the deputy commander-in-chief Liu of the battle.
Although they didn't know that Liu Lang's familiarity with the terrain here was actually not much worse than that of them. Liu Lang even knew that just where they were standing, in 80 years, a commemorative plaque that commemorated the Battle of Yinan Village would stand tall.
Today, he is here to make the Black Hawk Imperial Army also engraved with Yinan Village.
In front of Liu Lang's eyes, the canyon that reaches Wenzhang Pass east, which is more than 5,000 meters long, dozens of meters deep, and four meters wide at the bottom is the only way for the Black Hawk Empire Army. Whether it is its baggage force or its main force, if you want to reach the back of Guyong Peak, you can only pass here except for taking Daliwan to climb over one ridge after another.
Last night, the defense of Beizhao Pass was handed over to Lieutenant General Huang Lanfeng of the 17th Division, and Commander Ye of the 66th Regiment was the commander-in-chief of the front line, and Liu Lang led the guards to rush here at night.
The ridges on both sides of the canyon remain the same, with no positions and no trenches dug. Ten days later, they are still the same.
There is no soldier even.
But Liu Lang knew that 4,500 elite soldiers were stationed here.
The 71st Regiment of the 86th Brigade 2,000 people, the Independent Regiment’s Death Battalion, Bayonet, Panshi Battalion and Artillery Battalion gathered here. It is much stronger than the strength of Beizhao Pass.
They were all in the forest 800 meters away. They needed just one order and could surround the entire canyon into iron barrels in less than five minutes.
"Captain Liu, the Independent Regiment's Death Camp is blocked at the top of the canyon, the Bayonet and Panshi Camp are located on both sides of the canyon, and the 66th Regiment of our 86th Brigade is guarding the end of the canyon. What do you think of this arrangement?" Brigade Commander Wang, who was standing on the side of Liu Lang, pointed to the terrain and sought opinions from Liu Lang.
Although he was the commander-in-chief of this battle, the Independent Regiment sent three infantry battalions, half an artillery battalion and six hundred strong men, and the troops actually accounted for the majority. In addition, Liu Lang was the leader of this plan, so the combat plan naturally came to Liu Lang's opinion.
"It's inappropriate." Liu Lang shook his head slightly and rejected Brigade Commander Wang's combat plan.
The reason why Liu Lang flatly rejected it was naturally because he knew that Brigade Commander Wang left the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous work to him. Not to mention that the Black Hawk Empire Army was in a hurry to escape. After defending the canyon, the 66th Regiment would encounter a counterattack from the enemy, it would definitely be a fierce battle.
More importantly, the 5,000-meter canyon length seems to be quite short, but the commander of the Black Hawk Imperial Army is not a low-powered person. There are 4 infantry brigades of 4,800 people plus nearly 7,000 artillery and baggage engineers. It is impossible to stuff all troops into this Jedi, which can only see the sky.
In addition to sufficient reconnaissance, Liu Lang estimated that their greatest possibility was to divide the entire brigade into three front, middle and back routes, one to two infantry corps to take the lead, and then the brigade headquarters were in the middle route, and at least one infantry brigade would cover the artillery through this dangerous road.
As long as the brigade commander of the Black Hawk Army does not cramp in his head.
In this way, even if we use this place to surround the main infantry of the Black Hawk Army, the main force of the Black Hawk Army located behind the canyon will crazily attack the 66th Regiment at the exit of the canyon.
The pressure the 66th Regiment will be unprecedented. Liu Lang didn't want to design a good show against the Black Hawk Army himself, but the Independent Regiment ate fruit but the 86th Brigade collapsed.
Not only has it changed the future history of many people, Liu Lang has no face to see Commander Wang and Commander Tie again in the future.
It’s not that they are so precious that they cannot be sacrificed, but that since they are comrades-in-arms, they have to face it together. Liu Lang has never had the habit of just pinching soft persimmons.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Liu Lang knew the personality of Brigade Commander Wang in front of him. Although he had a very strong smile, his temperament was actually extremely tough. It was extremely difficult to convince him that what he decided.
"Hehe, does Brigade Commander Wang think that my independent regiment will be useless if I don't fight for four years? I think my independent regiment has been in Qiu Tongzhou for four years and I have been eating hot pot and drinking spicy food, so I have been fat and strong to travel to Ling Pizhou?" Liu Lang simply did the opposite, expressing his dissatisfaction with anger.
"What is travel?" Liu Lang's move did work and made Commander Wang stunned.
"Traveling is like taking your family out for fun and taking photos as a souvenir... Hi, Brigade Commander Wang, why are you talking about this? Anyway, I don't agree with you when you put my independent group in this position, and I firmly disagree." Liu Lang's angry lust pointed at Zhou Shiyu who was standing behind him, and ordered sternly: "Capital Commander Zhou, I'll order you to remove your clothes and report to Brigade Commander Wang about the origin of your death camp."
The major of the Wang Guojun unbuttoned his military uniform and took off his clothes. He was naked and exposed his hideous scars on his upper body, which was quite different from Zhou Shiyu's white-faced scholar. Zhou Shiyu, who had a dull personality, said little: "The predecessor of the Death Camp, was the Death Company. He fought with the Black Hawk Empire Army in the Battle of the Ancient City for one day. There were 206 people in the company, 160 people died in the battle, 45, 17, and 28 were left."
"Captain Liu, take off your clothes and report to Brigade Commander Wang about the origin of your bayonet camp." Liu Lang pointed at Liu Dazhu again and said.
Liu Dazhu, who has a solid body, has nothing to do with his muscles, but his two scars that are 15 cm long from his chest to his ribs are shocking. Everyone present knows that it was caused by a bayonet. It is hard to imagine that someone who is still alive after suffering such a severe injury and is still alive so lively.
"The front of the bayonet battalion attacked 300 suicide squads of the 8th Division at night. In one battle, 273 people died, 27 people lived, and nearly a thousand knights died." Liu Dazhu stood proudly in the admiring eyes of several officers.
Brigade Commander Wang, who is also a leading general, understands that with such temperament, they are elites, not equipment, but spirit. Even if they only survived a dozen or twenty, as long as they did not retreat, they were elites among the elites.
"How is it? Brigade Commander Wang, can they be used on the blade?" Liu Lang looked at Brigade Commander Wang seriously and said slowly.
This is also his Liu Lang's way of asking for battle. His two battalions must be used in the most intense places of war.
"Captain, what about me?" Ling Hong, the battalion commander of Panshi Battalion, who ranked last, whispered in a little aggrievedly.
Liu Lang couldn't help rolling his eyes and ignored this tired debuff. He had already shown two people, and another one came. He didn't see that the three battalion commanders of the 66th regiment were also preparing to unbutton and reveal scars to prove that he was not a coward? Do you think a group of majors stand here with bare shirtless looks good?
"The Panshi Camp, guarding the mouth of the ditch, blocking the Black Hawk Empire's people, preventing them from advancing. The 66th Regiment's first and second battalions were located on both sides of the canyon to kill the Black Hawk Empire Army at the bottom of the ditch. The suicide camp was located at the end of the canyon, blocking its escape from the Black Hawk Empire Army; the bayonet and the 66th Regiment's third battalions blocked the reinforcement of the Black Hawk Empire Army. After the Black Hawk Empire Army was annihilated, our main force surrounded the reinforcement of the Black Hawk Empire Army and annihilated it in one fell swoop; the Independent Regiment Guard Platoon and the 86th Brigade Guard Company include
The Independent Regiment's Brave Battalion, the Bagh of the Bastion Company, and the Engineer Company set up an ambush behind the Black Hawk Empire Army to block the fleeing enemy. This time, all the personnel went on the battlefield without leaving a reserve force. After the battle, all the officers and soldiers fought to the death without retreating. The positions can be lost, but all the personnel must be. The regiment commander died, the regiment commander died, the battalion commander died, the company commander died, the platoon commander died... "Liu Lang took a deep breath and looked back at everyone. Although his voice was light, he was unprecedentedly firm.
Although this is not the first time I have dealt with large-scale troops of the Black Hawk Imperial Army, this time it is different from any other time before.
This time, it was a Black Hawk Infantry Brigade armed to the teeth.
This time, the Independent Group had no more solid fortifications.
This time, although it was an ambush, there were still Black Hawks aircraft in the sky, and everyone was exposed to the attack of enemy planes.
