I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

"We still have those teams in the city?" Yue Zhenlin had a bad feeling and suddenly returned to office.

"Except for the Wulin Guards, who did not go to the battlefield, there are only some security team members at various checkpoints in the neighborhoods. There are no reserve troops. More than 300 people have been killed in the battle from yesterday to today," the adjutant replied.

"Okay, go and get ready," Yue Zhenlin dismissed his adjutant and immediately let the leader of the Wulin Guard in.

"Second brother, quietly send someone to transfer your sister-in-law and the others to the Huaxi area, and send people to guard the various checkpoints in Dongbian to prevent any accidents." Yue Zhenlin began to arrange his family's funeral. He felt it was a bit unfair. God gave him too little time. If he had three months, he could have doubled the current team. Now it was too late and he had to prepare for a rainy day.

After Wulinwei withdrew and arranged all the affairs at home, he decided to go to the front line in person to stop the attack.

"Come on, prepare the horses. I will lead the troops myself to defeat the invaders and protect our city of Ba." Yue Zhenlin was dressed in full military uniform, with two box guns on his waist, and he was accompanied by more than 20 cavalrymen, and he left in a cloud of dust.

In fact, there are two purposes for supervising a battle on horseback. The more difficult the situation is, the easier it is for him to hold his ground. Also, it is easier for his cavalry followers to retreat and escape cleanly, since their families and property have already been transported out of the city.

Rushing all the way to the front of the West Mountain position, they saw the two mortars ambushed on the mountainside by the city defense forces beginning to show their power. Several shells fell on several machine gun fire points attacked by Du's army, but the opponent's offensive momentum was not effectively stopped, and the second wave of troops crawled up like ants.

Looking at the Du family army's fearless offensive momentum, Yue Zhenlin knew that his defeat was not unfair, nor was it because his soldiers were not strong in combat, but it was entirely because the enemy was strong in combat. He himself had participated in many battles. During the Xinhai Revolution, he led a team of people and personally climbed the city wall of Bazhong District, braving gunfire and bullets. Later, he also participated in some foreign wars, but the gap between him and the tenacious fighting of the Du family army was far.

The six mortars of the Du family army fired simultaneously, suppressing the city defense team so much that they could not even raise their heads. Yue Zhenlin saw a group of Du family soldiers wearing khaki clothes actually climbing up the cliff from the back of the main peak of Xishan Mountain, and then rushing towards his artillery position from behind.

"God wants to kill me." Yue Zhenlin had three cannons, two of which were allocated here and one was allocated to the north route. These were his most beloved ones, and now they were attacked by the enemy. He could only sigh to the sky.

"Send an order to have the 3rd Battalion immediately plug the gap in the artillery position. The 1st and 2nd Battalions will leave blocking personnel and retreat in batches. The main army will prepare to evacuate to the Huaxi area." Yue Zhenlin knew that the situation was hopeless and he could not continue to destroy the Yue Family Army that he had built, so he wisely chose to retreat step by step.

Xue Chen at the command post saw the reconnaissance team capture the enemy's artillery position. He placed the telescope in his hand on the ridge in front of him and rubbed his eyes.

"The entire army is pressing forward." At this time, there was no need to worry, and all the reserve troops were dispatched to launch a single attack.

Half an hour later, the first wave of assault personnel began to occupy the positions on the West Mountain ridge. However, the enemy was obviously retreating in an orderly manner. "Come on, let's charge up too." Xue Chen had been commanding the battle in the air-raid shelter and did not participate in the battle. His role was not significant at this moment, so he could finally go down and fight on his own.

Xue Chen picked up his gun and rushed to the front-line position, "Brothers, capture Yue Zhenlin alive. I will recommend the first person to climb the city wall for credit." With a loud shout on the hill, morale was instantly high. The main battlefield here was made up of brothers from the 2nd Battalion, and no one did not know Xue Lao Hu. Xue Chen's training team always had a calm face and seldom smiled.

They began to charge downward along the Xishan Mountains, but the bushes were so dense here that the army had to advance in a scattered manner. There were also ambushes at some major checkpoints, which resulted in the continuous loss of several members of the vanguard team, and the charge slowed down.

At 5 o'clock, Hu Haisheng's southern defense line was also broken, and the three armies began to besiege the city of Bazhou. Lei Jianqin and Luo Feng took a team from their headquarters to the north to support Du Chenyu. As soon as they rushed to Daxigou, they happened to meet a team of people retreating from the north. Seeing that they were attacked from both sides, the other side had no choice but to surrender. After recruiting these people, Lei Jianqin continued to move north.

Du Chenyu watched the enemy withdraw from their positions step by step, but he did not issue an order to attack, but only carried out a tentative attack. Finally, at 4:30 in the afternoon, they successfully captured Lingshan Pass. Then, the large army began to move southward and marched towards Bazhou City.

After Du Chenyu and Lei Jianqin successfully joined forces, Lei Jianqin quickly reported the current situation to him. At this time, Zhao Rui had led his troops to successfully cross the river in the shallow water area of ​​​​the Ba River, and led his troops to encircle and suppress those city defense troops who attempted to flee eastward.

"Pass my order! We must capture the city before dark!" Du Chenyu gave the order decisively. Afterwards, he personally set up the camp on a vacant lot at the entrance of the city, next to which stood an ancient pagoda. It was about 4 kilometers from here to the main city, and the three lines of defense of Longhu ahead were still in a fierce exchange of fire, with the sound of gunfire resounding through the sky and deafening.

When it was getting dark, the Du family army broke through the third line of defense of Bazhou city, and the enemy began to retreat on a large scale. Du Chenyu watched from a high ground as the army rushed towards the urban area like a tide. The first established county town of the Du family army was officially acquired. Baizhang belonged to the county's assistant county, Jizhou belonged to Feng County, and Bazhou was a formal county-level organization with a complete city defense system and civil affairs management system.

The Du family army climbed over the dilapidated walls and rushed into the city. At this time, their main task was to maintain public order and capture prisoners.

Two days of fierce fighting will capture Bazhong. Of course, this was thanks to Chen Menli, the garrison of the Bazhong City Defense Regiment, who brought all the garrison troops and local city defense elites to central and southern Sichuan to block the National Protection Army, giving Du Chenyu an opportunity. The old, weak and disabled people left behind were still strong in combat. This time there was no trickery and they attacked throughout the whole process. This was also due to Du Chenyu's conscious training of the army to dare to attack and defend positions. It was also the first time that 3000 people were involved in a major battle, which tested the coordination and handling capabilities of all links.

The overall performance in the battle was satisfactory, but shortcomings still existed. Although Du's army deployed all its elite troops, it still failed to fight a one-sided battle. Every time a position was captured, there was a river of blood. The fundamental reason was that the equipment was too poor and the ammunition was insufficient. The six mortars had only more than 6 rounds of shells in total, and the heavy machine guns were only used twice for support because of insufficient bullets.

Du Chenyu looked at the Jaw River in the night, thinking about the pros and cons of this crucial battle. Now the county population is almost over 100 million, which can be regarded as a warlord. As long as he can get through two years of peace, Du Chenyu believes that he can gain a foothold in the melee of Sichuan warlords. I remember that this area belonged to Liu Cunhou's defense zone during the Republic of China period, and his 29th Army headquarters was set up here.
