Siheyuan: Happy life of the son-in-law of a founding general

During this time, the Zhite Army of Daxia fought three major battles with the Eagle Sauce and its vassal army.

In general, the Zhite Army has a clear advantage. So the Eagle Sauce people began to take it seriously and no longer thought they could easily defeat the Zhite Army.

The reason why the Eagle Sauce failed in the first three major battles was that it underestimated the enemy and thought that the Great Xia Zhite Army was nothing. It even clamored that it would wipe out the Zhite Army in a week and go home to celebrate the holidays. In the end, it was slapped in the face. For this reason, the Eagle Sauce even changed its commander-in-chief.

The new commander-in-chief attached great importance to the Zhite Army and found the biggest weakness of the Zhite Army, which was insufficient firepower, insufficient logistics, and insufficient mechanization. He designed a new tactic, the Sunday tactic, also known as the magnetic tactic.

They knew that the Zhite Army had no mechanized equipment and could only rely on walking, and they had to carry their own ammunition. These ammunition could only ensure a week's offensive. So the Eagle Sauce took advantage of the mechanization advantage and did not engage the Zhite Army head-on and in full contact.

When the Zhite Army chased them, they ran away. After running for a week, the Zhite Army was unable to catch up, and they were short of weapons and ammunition, especially food. They were counterattacked by the Eagle Sauce and were very passive.

Because of this, the Zhite Army immediately began to change its tactics. If they could not catch up, they would no longer chase. Instead, they would concentrate their superior forces in a very short time to annihilate the Eagle Sauce Army.

But there is another problem here. The Eagle Sauce is equipped with heavy weapons such as tanks. Even if the Great Xia Zhite Army has a numerical advantage in the local battlefield, it cannot effectively annihilate the opponent. The Eagle Sauce Army can often effectively break through the Zhite Army's defense line.

In addition, the current war situation has another feature. In order to prevent the besieged Eagle Sauce Army from retreating, the Zhite Army will carry out sniping at some strategic locations.

In order to escape successfully, the Eagle Sauce had to capture these positions. Many times, fierce battles were carried out on such positions. Repeatedly fighting for some high ground. Wang Zhiyong thus became the most powerful position hero of the Wansui Army.

Whether it was leading the company to hold the position at the beginning, or fighting until only Wang Zhiyong was left, as long as Wang Zhiyong was there, the position had never been breached. This also allowed Wang Zhiyong to receive various high honors.

In these bloody battles, Wang Zhiyong's position has been continuously promoted, and he is now a battalion commander.

On this day, Wang Zhiyong led a company to hold on to Hill 1079. He heard that a division commander who had just come from Daxia was ready to take over their defense. In other words, the Wansui Army could rest temporarily.

In the third battle, the Wansui Army fought bravely and achieved great results, but also suffered heavy losses. It is normal for them to rest now.

However, the new division commander personally led his men to Hill 1079. It was very rare for a division commander to go to the front line, and he was considered to be the first to lead. At the same time, it was generally allowed. That is, it was a temporary truce. What if the enemy attacked by surprise?

The new division commander looked at Wang Zhiyong, saluted him first, and then talked to Wang Zhiyong about the situation of the position. Afterwards, he said to Wang Zhiyong, "Captain Wang, I have communicated with your leaders and hope that you will continue to hold the 1079 position. I wonder if you are willing to do so."

Without any hesitation, Wang Zhiyong said firmly, "It is a soldier's duty to obey orders."

"Okay, thank you, Comrade Wang Zhiyong."

Then, the division commander issued a new order, promoting Wang Zhiyong to deputy regiment commander, leading two battalions to defend positions 1079 and 1085.

Hearing this, all the Zhite soldiers in the 1079th position knew that there might be another battle. Everyone was excited. Of course, they were also a little nervous. War means death, and a lot of death.

After discussing official business, the division commander found Wang Zhiyong for a private conversation.

"Comrade Zhiyong, my name is Yang Dacai, and I'm Zhian's future father-in-law. We are a family."

"Ah," Wang Zhiyong suddenly showed a surprised expression, "Commander Yang, Zhian has a wife, how is he doing now?"

"Wang Zhian is doing well. He is now a doctor in a hospital in Sijiu City. His medical skills are very good and he has saved many people. He also cured my injury."

Then Yang Dacai told Wang Zhian about his situation, which made Wang Zhiyong very happy. He said he didn't expect Zhian to be so great now. He was very happy, as if his brother had finally grown up and he could rest assured.

Of course, this is a lie. As Wang Zhian's puppet, Wang Zhiyong knows about Wang Zhian's situation. As long as Wang Zhian is willing. However, no one could have imagined that the first warrior and the first combat hero of the Wansui Army was actually a puppet.

On the third day after Yang Dacai inspected the 1079 position, the Zhite Army launched the fourth campaign. They advanced rapidly all the way and soon reached the Xiajiang River, the largest river on the island, and took the opportunity to capture the pseudo capital.

This caused great shock to the Eagle Sauce, and they all demanded that the newly appointed Eagle Sauce Island Battlefield Commander Li Qi make a strong response, hoping to defeat the Zhite Army immediately.

Li Qi did not obey the order of the Eagle Sauce Commander, but continued to withdraw his troops.

For this reason, many people in the Eagle Sauce government proposed to remove Li Qi, believing that Li Qi was incompetent and would destroy the Eagle Sauce's prestige. How could a pseudo-capital be lost in the midst of a war?

But Li Qi remained unmoved and continued to order the 50,000 Eagle Sauce troops to retreat.

After three more days of pursuit, the Zhite Army discovered that something was wrong. They chose to stay where they were and deploy defenses. Later, the Eagle Sauce used aircraft carriers and other ships to transport an army of more than 30,000 people from another location.

Together with the two armies that had previously sniped, they launched a fierce attack on the Zhite Army.

The Zhite Army retreated quickly due to lack of ammunition and failed sniping. During this process, the command found that if they did not hold on to Xiajiang, they would probably be surrounded by the Eagle Sauce. But at this time, the Wansui Army had suffered heavy losses after fierce fighting and could not fight anymore.

They had no choice but to ask the New Fifth Army, another second-line unit that had been on guard duty, to serve as a sniper. The command knew that this second-line unit was of average strength, and did not require them to hold out for long. Just one week.

It was also mentioned that if the defensive pressure was too great, they could ask for help from the 47th Division of the Wansui Army which was resting nearby.

This obviously shows that they do not trust the strength of the New Fifth Army.

At this time, the Zhite Army discovered that in addition to the possibility of being surrounded on the Western Front, the Eagle Sauce also began a fierce attack on the Eastern Front.

The headquarters only realized at this time that Li Qi had a big appetite. He was planning to lure the enemy deep into the country and then surround and destroy the Zhite Army from both the east and west directions. However, the Zhite Army fighting on the western front had suffered heavy losses, so the New Fifth Army could only hold on to Xiajiang.

If the battle here fails, the Zhite Army that has crossed the river will be surrounded. The consequences will be disastrous.

After careful consideration, several staff officers at the command center unanimously decided that the best way was to not only carry out sniping in the east, but also to concentrate troops to eliminate the Eagle Sauce Army in the east.

So the key points of the battle came. First, on the western front, the New Fifth Army's hold on the Yangtze River must succeed. Secondly, on the eastern front, the Ninety-third Army was needed to hold its position and allow the brother troops to complete the encirclement.
