According to Xu Chongzhi's idea, the troops attacking Wuzhou City will fight first.As long as you can catch the opponent by surprise, you can quickly capture Wuzhou City, which has a weak defender.When Wuzhou is in his hands, the eyes of the Gui family will be attracted, and he will be able to take advantage of the situation and drive straight in, conquering Yulin City in one fell swoop.When both armies have Ayutthaya as a logistics base, the Revolutionary Army will be invincible.

The number of the Gui army is small, and it will take time for the Xite army to move in. As long as he moves quickly enough, and then sends someone to attack Guigang northward, he can cut off the back road of the Gui army attacking Wuzhou, making it difficult for the opponent to look at each other from head to toe.At that time, the revolutionary military government will have a lot more bargaining chips, and he has also completed the task of creating a buffer zone.

Xu Chongzhi thinks his plan is very safe, it can be attacked and defended.Of course, if the west special army moves slowly, Xu Chongzhi will not let go of the opportunity to expand the results of the battle. Where he can fight depends on the strength of the Gui army.

What Xu Chongzhi didn't expect was that Yulin City, which was relatively far away, would fight first, because when the main force had just stepped into the Yulin boundary, they encountered resistance at Wangjunding.

In charge of the blocking mission was Xu Xiangqian's unit of the [-]th Infantry Division of the [-]th Army of the West Special Army that had not yet been deployed. This major general, who had fought in western Guangdong Province, was very familiar with the surrounding terrain.He was assigned to be stationed in Yulin, and he quickly set his sights on the only way to enter Yulin from eastern Guangdong.

Wangjunding is only more than 300 meters high, and the mountain is not steep enough, but it is a branch of the [-] mountains in western Guangdong. The mountains stretch far enough to spread the strength of a division.After Xu Xiangqian led his troops to arrive, the former First Division of the Gui Army and now the First Division of the Western Guangdong Garrison also arrived quickly under the leadership of the division commander Li Pinxian.

The garrison troops obeyed the command of the field troops at the same level, which was clearly written in the military law of the West Special Army, so Li Pinxian very cooperatively handed over the command to Xu Xiangqian.Li Pinxian quickly saw the problem. According to his idea, the troops should immediately dig a position on the mountain and set up artillery observation posts to prepare to block the enemy.

Chapter 976

However, Xu Xiangqian only set up artillery positions on the mountain, but did not dig infantry fortifications. Instead, he made the army ready to attack at any time.Li Pinxian looked a little anxious. He quickly found Xu Xiangqian and said, "Master Xu, according to the report of the scouts, the enemy army has more than 5000 troops. The strength in our hands is about the same as that of the opponent. I think we should consume the opponent's vital strength first. This will reduce our losses a lot.”

"Mr. Li makes a lot of sense, but the weapons and equipment of the revolutionary army are not strong, and the commander-in-chief doesn't want to cause them too many casualties, so we just need to scare them away." to break the opponent's will, and then turn the battle into a crushing battle."

Li Pinxian was a little dazed when he heard that, the purpose of this war was to minimize casualties of the opponent, the request seemed too difficult.Although the West Army was well-known, he couldn't believe that it had such strength, but it was also true that he couldn't see the whole picture of the Tenth Division due to the dense jungle nearby.Although the Gui Army has joined the Western Special Zone for almost half a year, they have not seen the current equipment of the Field Army in the West Special Army sequence. It is not surprising to have such an idea.

Li Pinxian is a meticulous person, since Xu Xiangqian is full of confidence, he is not easy to object, but the doubts in his heart still exist.The garrison division was required to defend at the foot of the mountain and make use of the surrounding terrain to prepare for blocking, but there was no need to dig fortifications. Although Li Pinxian was worried, he did so.

The artillery of the [-]th Division of the Field Army and the [-]st Division of the Cantonese Garrison were concentrated, and the artillery command post was directly set up on the main peak of Wangjunding.The West Army's move was purely bullying the Revolutionary Army's lack of artillery, and it was difficult to pose a threat to the top of the mountain.

The outpost scouts quickly sent back news that the revolutionary army was approaching, and the opponent was still marching in a four-way column, heading towards Wangjunding.After receiving the news, Xu Xiangqian did not launch a surprise attack. He sent regimental leader Chen Shijun as a representative, and led two guards to negotiate with the other party.

Seeing someone blocking the road with a white flag, Xu Chongzhi was taken aback. He quickly received news that the other party was a representative of the Western Special Zone and asked to negotiate with the highest officer of the revolutionary army.Seeing that the other party was wearing a military uniform and claiming to be a representative of the West Special Army, Xu Chongzhi felt a drum in his heart. In order to find out the purpose of the other party's visit, he still decided to meet.Of course, in order to give the opponent a bad start, Xu Chongzhi ordered the front team to set up camp temporarily, putting on a formation with swords and guns unsheathed.

As one of the top ten marshals of the New Hualan Kingdom in later generations, the young Chen Shijun has just graduated from the military academy for a few years, and his career has only reached the position of colonel commander, but this does not prevent him from possessing an innate calm temperament .

Chen Shijun strode into the opponent's army formation without the slightest look of fear on his face, making Xu Chongzhi dumbfounded.Walking in front of the opponent, Chen Shijun said with a standard military force: "Hello, general, I am Chen Shijun, the colonel commander of a certain unit of the West Special Army, this time I am here to warn you that you have entered the territory of the Western Special Zone, please leave immediately .”

Xu Chongzhi was surprised by the toughness of the other party. He wanted to reprimand, but seeing Chen Shijun's contemptuous eyes, his heart seemed to be hit.The other party has the confidence to speak like this. Any soldier with the support of the powerful West Army behind him can say such tough words.

The opponent's unceremoniousness showed his determination to defend the territory, but Xu Chongzhi had to say a few words on the scene to hold on. "I am a subordinate of Sun Wenhai, the very president of the Hualan Republic of China. As the supreme commander of the country, the president's troops have the right to enter any area of ​​the country without notification. You should understand this."

Chen Shijun sneered and said, "Sun Wenhai has appointed himself the very president. Currently, only one province in eastern Guangdong recognizes him. Speaking of which, he is at most a provincial warlord, but with a different name. What's more, when the Republic of China was first established, we had already obtained the western province. The name of the special zone is not listened to by the central government, and the army of the central government has no right to enter the western special zone casually, you have to be clear about this."

Chen Shijun's arrogance caused Xu Chongzhi's voice to become a little harsh: "The name of the Western Special Zone was conferred by the puppet president Yuan Kai, and we do not recognize it, but President Sun has been granted by the extraordinary Congress." The adoption is legal."

"The legitimacy of the Congress is still open to question. At least no region or group has recognized it except in eastern Guangdong Province. In addition, Sun Wenhai wanted Yuan Wei to be president, and he also affirmed Yuan Wei's status as president. If you think of it as Pseudo-president, what is Sun Wenhai now?" Chen Shijun said without hesitation: "I am not here to argue with you about the legal system, I just came to warn you that the rights and interests of the Western Special Zone are inviolable. If you insist on going your own way, you will Be prepared to bear the consequences. I just want to tell you that once your army enters the territory of the Western Special Zone, all the consequences will be borne by you, and all events will happen automatically after that. When Xu Chongzhi was talking, he left without looking back.

"It's so arrogant that we don't take our revolutionary army seriously. The commander asked me to catch him and execute him immediately." He Yingqin, the commander of the Sixth Division, changed his face when he heard Chen Shijun's words.

Seeing Chen Shijun leaving proudly, Xu Chongzhi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't pay attention to him. What's the use of asking for cheap, I think the more arrogant the Western Special Zone is, the more it shows that they are short of troops. I Xu Chongzhi was not scared, Now that they already know we are coming, there is no need for everyone to hide. They immediately start fighting in formation and move forward quickly, ready to fight at any time. I want to perform a miracle here to show President Sun the strength of our revolutionary army Never lose to the West Army.”

"Yes, I'll get ready right away." He Yingqin saluted, turned around and ran outside.After a brief reorganization, Xu Chongzhi's two main divisions formed a battle formation and moved quickly towards Yulin.

Li Pinxian and Xu Xiangqian had already set up the command post on the mountain. The view here is excellent, and they can easily observe the enemy's situation nearby.When Li Pinxian saw the revolutionary army rolling in from a distance through the binoculars, he sighed and said, "General Xu seems to be too arrogant. Even if we plan to launch an attack directly, there is no need to greet the opponent. Now the opponent has Get ready, advance in battle formation, our battle will be difficult."

Xu Xiangqian smiled and said: "According to the opinion of the commander-in-chief, we must give the other party a reason to retreat. If the other party insists on not listening, we will give a firm blow. We vow to make the other party dare not face up to our Western Special Zone. Of course, we must try our best Avoid heavy casualties."

Chapter 977 An Easy Win

"It's the first time I've heard of such an order, and it's simply too difficult." Hearing Xu Xiangqian relay the order from his superiors, Li Pinxian rolled his eyes in choke.

Xu Xiangqian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you have not been in the West Army for long, and you have never understood our true strength. When we face foreigners, we still have certain advantages, not to mention these domestic bumpkins. To be honest, I can’t even get up to fight such a battle.”

What Xu Xiangqian said was a little arrogant, but it didn't mean that he underestimated the enemy, he already had a comprehensive consideration for this battle.He turned his head and said to the signal soldier: "Tell the artillery observation post, measure the scale, and bombard the revolutionary army for 10 minutes."

"It seems to be a waste of shells." 10 minutes of full-coverage shooting, such shell consumption is too wasteful for Li Pinxian, who is used to fighting civil wars.According to the creed of the domestic warlords, it would be better to use human lives to fill them up, let the soldiers charge up directly, and destroy the enemy with bullets or even bayonets, which is the least expensive.

As soon as Li Pinxian's words fell, there was a sound of shaking from the artillery position below the mountain, and a large cloud of gunpowder smoke slowly drifted away like clouds, showing the large number of artillery shelling.It was too late and then too soon, dense shells soon fell into the ranks of the revolutionary army one after another, and the huge smoke almost covered the entire land, completely covering the vanguard of the revolutionary army.

The artillery, which has always been equipped with high standards, has been greatly strengthened after the advent of mechanized equipment.Now in the field army sequence of the West Special Army, the caliber of the division-level artillery has reached 150 mm. In addition, the power of the regiment-level [-] mm heavy artillery and the battalion-level [-] mm light howitzer is not small, and these The power of the heavy artillery is not comparable to that of ordinary mountain cannons like small water pipes.

Shells of various calibers fell densely on the ranks of the revolutionary army, and the shock produced was absolutely impressive.Especially those [-]mm shells with a full charge, one shell is enough to kill all the soldiers within a radius of tens of meters, even if the opponent attacks in a sparse line of skirmishers, it is unbearable.

The shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell almost knocked Xu Chongzhi off his horse. After he managed to hold onto the saddle and turned over, he got a report from the orderly: "Commander, the forward troops have been heavily bombarded, and the brothers are about to be overwhelmed."

"What? You wanted to run away as soon as you got into the battle? Tell them to stand up to me, and no one is allowed to retreat." Xu Chongzhi was a little annoyed when he heard that, just as the opponent fired the first round of shelling, the vanguard showed signs of collapse.

Xu Chongzhi didn't expect what kind of bombardment the forward troops suffered. After only one round of shelling, a regiment as a forward was about to be cancelled.Before Xu Chongzhi's order was passed on, the vanguard group had already retreated, and he was so angry that he cursed at his mother.

"Commander, the situation seems to be wrong. The firepower of the West Special Army is too strong. Is their main force coming up?" He Yingqin frowned slightly. It will be a big loss.

"How is it possible? The territory of the Western Special Zone is so far away, how could it be possible to transport the troops here so quickly. This is clearly a bluff. It is estimated that Li Zongren has gathered all the artillery of the Gui army." Xu Chongzhi said: "But it doesn't matter, Even if Li Zongren has more cannons, his shells will be consumed faster, and these guys won't last long."

Xu Chongzhi's thinking is still in the civil war. Although all parties have artillery, the shells are precious. Before the war, most of them play infantry charge after firing a few cannons. This is already a common practice.Even if the Gui army had too many artillery pieces, he took it for granted that the opponent's artillery shells were not many, and they would run out soon.

What Xu Chongzhi didn't expect was that when the second regiment rushed up, it was completely covered by artillery fire again, and there was no chance of luck at all.Xu Chongzhi was furious when two regiments were disabled in a row. He still stubbornly believed that the opponent was bluffing. As long as the opponent's shells were exhausted, the revolutionary army would probably find that the opponent had only a small number of troops.In this way, not only can he attack Yulin, but he can also capture a large number of artillery.

This time the revolutionary army did not invest in another regiment, but the whole army attacked and surrounded the artillery positions. Xu Chongzhi decided to spend his life and vowed to capture these powerful cannons.Among the domestic warlords, cannons represented strength and status. If one could have such a batch of outstanding cannons, even if there were not many cannonballs, Xu Chongzhi's back would be able to stand up straight.

Attracted by the interests, Xu Chongzhi personally led the team to launch a charge, and He Yingqin, who wanted to stop him, followed helplessly.Xu Xiangqian felt extremely annoyed when he saw that the revolutionary army not only retreated despite the difficulties, but charged with great fanfare after two rounds of shelling.

"Order, blow the charge horn, all attack." Xu Xiangqian ordered loudly, and soon the charge horn rang one after another.From the jungle on the two wings of the artillery position, there were sudden rumbles, followed by a charge team composed of Kuailu 1 light armored reconnaissance vehicles and Hualan 1 four-wheel trucks under the guidance of a large number of Benlang 1 tanks It came out suddenly, carrying a large number of infantry and rushing towards the revolutionary army.

Suddenly encountering such a large group of steel monsters, especially when they were still spewing shells and machine gun bullets on the way, the revolutionary army suddenly became confused.The revolutionary army, which had never been subjected to a mass charge of armored troops, could not bear such a huge pressure. They turned around and fled one after another, never obeying Xu Chongzhi's orders again.

Seeing such a large group of tanks rushing towards him, Xu Chongzhi also turned pale. He knew that the revolutionary army had no weapons against these enemies.If they stayed any longer, the entire army would be wiped out, so Xu Chongzhi had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat and break away from contact with the opponent.He was afraid that the opponent's powerful armored force would wipe out the revolutionary army, so the whole army did not stop, but directly withdrew back to the territory of eastern Guangdong Province.

Seeing the attack of such a large group of armored troops, Li Pinxian was a little dazed. He didn't expect that the battle would be over easily before his guards were dispatched, and the total consumption was less than an hour.The clarion call to withdraw troops was also timely. The West Special Army did not continue to pursue, but withdrew after driving the revolutionary army out of the border of Western Guangdong Province.

Looking at the retreating troops, Li Pinxian asked, "Mr. Xu, I'm a little confused. I wonder if you can explain."

"Of course there is no problem. We are all brothers. There is no need to be so polite. If you have anything to say, just ask. As long as it does not involve confidentiality, I will answer naturally." Xu Xiangqian said with a smile.

Chapter 978 The Power of the Air Strike

"I know that in the sequence of the field army, there are specialized tank divisions and mechanized infantry divisions, and the tenth division you command is a pure infantry division. Why are there so many tanks and armored vehicles?" Li Pinxian asked himself Doubts in my heart.

Xu Xiangqian said with a smile: "Mr. Li is in the garrison division, so I don't know that the field force's organizational structure is normal. In fact, we are indeed a pure infantry division, but we also have a tank battalion and a mechanized infantry regiment. There is also a The mechanized supply regiment, our heavy artillery regiment also has mechanized equipment such as trucks, and only three infantry regiments are infantry in the true sense. Of course, they also have a small number of armored vehicles for reconnaissance troops, as well as vehicles carrying small-caliber artillery such as mountain artillery and infantry artillery. .”

"This is a pure infantry division? So what kind of equipment are tank divisions and mechanized divisions?" Li Pinxian opened his mouth in surprise.

Xu Xiangqian said: "The mechanized infantry division has a mechanized artillery regiment, a mechanized logistics regiment, and a tank regiment. In addition, there are three mechanized infantry regiments and a motorized infantry regiment. In addition to the reconnaissance company using armored vehicles, tanks and We are also the Benlang 1 type, the mechanized infantry regiment uses trucks and a small number of armored vehicles, and the motorized infantry regiment only has some barrel cars, and the rest are motorcycles."

"In this way, the mechanized infantry division can achieve long-distance marching without using their feet at all. Isn't that amazingly fast?" Li Pinxian asked.

"Of course, but these units are far behind the tank division. The tank division is the core unit of the field army, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Generally, each tank division has two tank regiments, equipped with the latest Wolf-2 Tanks, the equipment of the two mechanized regiments is similar to that of the mechanized division, and there is also a self-propelled artillery regiment, a towed heavy artillery regiment, and two mechanized supply regiments." Xu Xiangqian did not hide his envy and yearning when talking about the tank division.

Li Pinxian was completely shocked. Is there anything that cannot be defeated by such an army?Thinking about his garrison division, which was equipped with a large number of artillery and machine guns before, he himself was complacent and thought that it had become the absolute main force.Now, compared with the equipment of the field army, the garrison division that made Li Pinxian so proud has become a beggar.

Seeing Li Pinxian's sad eyes, Xu Xiangqian naturally knew what he was thinking.Patting the other party on the shoulder, Xu Xiangqian said with a smile: "Don't be too shocked, brother. This kind of army configuration is unique in the world. Now the West Army dares to say that the world's army is the second, and no one dares to say that it is the first. Otherwise, I would not He will give up the opportunity to continue to be promoted in the garrison, and go to the field army willing to continue to be a division commander."

What Xu Xiangqian said was right at all. He was originally the commander of the garrison division. He made great contributions in the last battle against Lu Rongting. He could have been transferred to any province as the commander of the garrison.However, he insisted on being transferred to the field army, but in the end he could only be transferred at the same level, and he is still only a division commander.
