In the mountains of the kingdom, Zhang Liang and his warriors were struggling for the last glimmer of vitality. Commander Liu also used an army of nearly 400 people to set up a net of heaven and earth.

Although it was dawn just now, the command center of Xiongxinzhuang, which is dozens of kilometers away, was already brightly lit in the 20th Division command center.

The combat staff issued telegrams to the various troops according to Wei Fengling's oral military orders standing in front of the map. Today is the day when the 20th Division attacked the Guyongfeng area in the eastern Pizhou of Wangguoling.

The Fifth Division and its subordinate troops led by Qiao Yinshuan in Canghuai Valley have begun a arduous battle with more than 80,000 troops stationed there.

The warlord's cannons in Pizhou, Wangguoling, were unexpectedly many. Not only were there seven or eight regiments of mountain cannons, but there were actually 150 heavy artillery. Although their heavy artillery was not dared to be pulled to the battlefield at will because of the deterrence of the Imperial Air Force in the Heaven, the use of evening artillery fire also brought a significant blow to the Imperial Army.

Lieutenant General Liu Mianli, commander of the Northern Expedition Army and commander of the First Army, issued an order to the 50,000 troops located on the western front, mainly the 20th Division, allowing them to pursue the fleeing kingdom army at full speed while capturing Gu Yongfeng and approaching the Great City of Pizhou, Pizhou, to relieve the pressure of Qiao Yinshun's troops. They were facing nearly twice their kingdom defenders and artillery that were no less than imperial artillery fire.

"Where did Colonel Luo Min, the 77th Regiment caller, go?" Wei Fengling asked while looking around the huge combat map.

"The 77th Regiment has arrived in Luojin County. After investigation, the kingdoms probably had a regiment of troops defending in Luojin County, and about one regiment of troops was in the direction of Xuehua Mountain in Luojin County, firmly controlling the Zhengtai Railway leading to the Guyongfeng of the Kingdom." Xiao Feng, chief of staff of the division, answered respectfully on one side.

"Oh? Xiao Fengying, what do you think of the arrangement of the kingdom?" Wei Fengling's eyes stopped at the location of Luojin County and Xuehua Mountain, which was only a few miles away, and asked casually.

"Yes! From the perspective of the subordinates, it is false to defend Luojin County. It is true that the construction of fortifications for the snowflake mountain defensive position is delayed. They confronted our army with a regiment of more than 2,000 troops, but they only bought time for the main defensive position afterwards. Their purpose was to use the dangerous snowflake mountain as the basis to resist our army before Guyong Peak. Even if it could not be resisted, they could delay time and then build a defense line with Guyong Peak. The intention of the kingdom commander was to try to gain enough time for Canghuai Valley in this way of resistance." Xiao Fengying talked happily.

Wei Fengling looked back at his newly appointed chief of staff of the division, last year, with a slightly raised mouth and a hint of satisfaction on his face.

As an academic officer, Xiao Fengying, who was airborne from an academic officer to serve as the chief of staff of the 20th Division, had excellent grades when studying at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. He was recommended to study at the Imperial Army University as the second place among the 59 students in the same period. He went abroad to study and inspect in the name of royal gifts. Although his resume did not have any results, it was definitely considered a halo entangled.

However, this colonel chief of staff, who had just been promoted to the colonel, was not a major general like other division chiefs, but he did not have the arrogant habits of ordinary academic officers. While maintaining enough respect for the superiors, he could also make very appropriate suggestions.

Undoubtedly, for Wei Fengling, who is arbitrary, having such a chief of staff will save him a lot of worry.

Of course, for the Black Hawk Army, because the chief of staff is often much lower than the division commander, even the major generals have almost no restrictions on the lieutenant general-level division commander, and it is basically a commander. A little weaker, even the major general brigade commander under the division does not take the chief of staff of the division of the same level seriously.

Not to mention that Xiao Fengying, who was just the colonel, was not as good as his grandson against Wei Fengling, who was known for his strength. How could he still survive in the 20th Division?

"Xiao Fengying is worthy of being the best graduate of the Imperial Army University. You are right in your analysis. The commander of the kingdom just hopes to delay our attack and attempts to buy time for the kingdom army in the north of Ling Pizhou to resist the attack of the Fifth Division of the Empire to protect Ling Pizhou." Wei Fengling nodded. "Xiao Fengying thinks, what should my 20th Division do? Xiao Fengying should not have any concerns, but it doesn't matter."

"The commander of the Kingdom is really ridiculous. Although Xuehua Mountain has guarded the Zhengtai Railway Line, can they defend the highway six miles away? Our army can divide the troops into two groups, attacking the stubborn King's army of Xuehua Mountain to completely open up the Zhengtai line, and the other route is directly connected to Guyong Peak through the highway. Whether it is Guyong Peak or Xuehua Mountain, it is very difficult to build fortifications. Although the terrain is dangerous, under the artillery fire of our imperial army, all the efforts of the kingdom people will turn into bubbles." Xiao Fengying glanced at his boss's face that was unknown to the sun, and after thinking for a moment, his face was full of arrogance.

Indeed, the 20th Division, which had more than a dozen aircraft assisted and 12 105-caliber howitzers, was proud. In just one day, they destroyed the defensive positions of the kingdom defenders of nearly 4 divisions on the Yixi defense line in Xiongxinzhuang.

"Okay, then as Xiao Fengying said, Colonel Luo Min of the 77th Regiment launched a full-scale attack on the Kingdom Guards in Luojin County at 6 a.m. After defeating the Kingdom Guards, guard the station, our army's baggage will be transported to Luojin County by railway, and all combat troops will be withdrawn there. At the same time, the 79th Regiment and the 80th Regiment of the 40th Brigade that followed the follow-up will each send an infantry brigade to attack Xuehua Mountain. The division will send a field artillery brigade to support its Xuehua Mountain operations, and the Imperial Air Force will also send bombers to support Gu Yongfeng through the highway. The remaining combat troops of the artillery brigade directly under the division will then arrive to support the 77th Regiment and the 78th Regiment." Wei Fengling casually explained the military order.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!"Yes!" Xiao Fengying quickly stood at attention and recorded.

"Have Zhang Liang and his special attack team sent their reconnaissance information?" Wei Fengling suddenly asked.

"Two days ago, they sent military intelligence to the Guyongfeng area. The division headquarters' communication radio station called him several times but never responded. It may be that they did not turn on the field radio station in order not to expose their target." Xiao Fengying replied.

"Bastard, a bunch of useless guys, who have missed the military opportunity so much, I wonder if our army is about to launch an attack!" A hint of anger flashed across Wei Fengling's face.

"After the successful capture of Luojin County, the 28th Cavalry Regiment was ordered to search and advance to the Guyongfeng area at the fastest speed, conduct reconnaissance on the deployment of the Kingdom Guardians and report to the division headquarters. If there is a battle..." Wei Fengling, who calmed down his anger, quickly made another deployment, paused for a moment, and continued: "A camera acted."

"Yes!" Xiao Fengying agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, the arrogance of the 20th Division was undoubtedly revealed.

A cavalry gang with a permanent division in the Black Hawk Army is different from an independent cavalry gang, with only more than 400 people and 4 cavalry squadrons. Their role in the division is nothing more than a mobile reconnaissance force.

But facing the Guyongfeng Defense Zone of the Kingdom, which had gathered tens of thousands of troops, the somewhat arrogant Lieutenant General of the Black Hawk Army actually issued an order to fight independently, and the somewhat cautious colonel chief of staff actually implemented it without hesitation.

It can be seen that the extremely smooth war in the Xianghai Valley of the Kingdom over the past three months has expanded their self-confidence to a point.

Yes, if any commander is replaced by a commander, a brigade of thousands of people can chase more than 4,000 people from an opponent's brigade, and a corps of more than 3,000 people can launch an attack on a defense zone of nearly 10,000 people from an opponent's division. After a long time, who will not expand?

Especially for the Black Hawk Empire who has begun to claim to be the number one in the army, it is even more inflated.

Zhang Liang, who was called a useless guy, didn't know that it was his prudence that although his five subordinates did not immediately become the fish in the net of Commander Liu, who had already cast a fish net, he sent another proud imperial cavalry of the 20th Division into the abyss.

Compared with the arrogant Black Hawk Empire infantry, only the nobles can ride on the tall black Hawk Empire cavalry, which is a model of arrogance.
