: Breaking the Attack War

Sun Jizhi got up early in the morning to prepare for a big battle, but he did not notice any movement in the Nanzheng Army until noon, and it was still very quiet in the evening. The scouts kept reporting on the situation of the Nanzheng Army and found that the Nanzheng Army was indeed moving, but not attacking, but building temporary camps in the hills and mountains on the left and right roads. At the same time, they also sent communication troops to set up telegram lines with Lechang City.

The sky gradually darkened, and the day on November 3 passed without any trouble.

After dinner, Sun Jizhi took his adjutant and staff officer to climb the hillside last night again and observed the movements of the Southern Expedition Army through the Thousand Mile Mile Mile. At this time, the Southern Expedition Army was making fires and making meals again. Taking advantage of the last ray of sunset, you could vaguely see the entire incomplete official road from east to west, and a simple line of defense had been arranged.

The Southern Expedition Army did not gather together to make fires and make meals today. Almost every other mountain can see a smoke from cooking. It can be seen that the troops have already allocated strongholds according to combat units at all levels, and they have acted in a confrontation and fighting attitude.

"Hey, what's wrong with the Nanzheng Army today?" Sun Jizhi was quite surprised.

"They seem to have to fight steadily." Staff Officer Li Lianshan said slowly.

"The changes have changed too quickly. Yesterday was still in full swing, but today I was doing everything step by step." Sun Jizhi sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face, "It's so funny now. How can we fight this battle?"

"Old Sun, I hope to avoid head-on battles. Our Seventh Regiment is too young, and it will definitely suffer a lot when fighting. Since they still do not move, we will just sit down and wait strictly. Anyway, the order given to me is to hold back the main force of the Nanzheng Army. The Nanzheng Army will come to my door by itself, why not?" Li Lianshan said with a smile.

Sun Jizhi pondered for a while and wanted to say something, but in the end he turned into a sigh. Then his face looked very depressed. He has always been a very strong person in the battle of fighting. Two years ago, he fought the most heroic battle in Xin'an during the first bid. Later, when he attacked the Twenty-Three Towns, he gave up two fingers in one night, and he still had no regrets and didn't care.

Even if he is leading a rookie army now, his fighting spirit remains the same as before. What's more, he always believed in his heart that any unit was tempered by blood and fire. If he didn't fight, the rookie group would always be a rookie group.

At this time, Chen Jingsheng, who was standing aside, suddenly said, "If you don't fight in the front, we can fight some enemy behind."

Sun Jizhi and Li Lianshan looked at Chen Jingsheng together. Chen Jingsheng suddenly became a little embarrassed, he just said casually.

Li Lianshan asked, "You mean, break the attack?"

Chen Jingsheng nodded and said, "That's right. I have been observing the enemy all day. They are busy assuming the telegraph wires today. It is obvious that they are beginning to pay attention to communication fortifications. If we send a team to detour behind the enemy and destroy their telegraph wires, then they will be busy today."

Li Lianshan exclaimed: "Good idea, you can try this."

Sun Jizhi said "Hmm" and said, "Since that's the case, let's explore the way today. We will do their rear two days tomorrow. Chen Jingsheng, I'll give you this task, can you do it?"

Since Chen Jingsheng graduated from the third phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, he has been eager to show off in person. So far, he has not shot a single pistol, so he naturally has the idea of ​​trying it out. He stood at attention with a "snap" and said solemnly: "Captain, don't worry, guarantee to complete the task. I am the captain of the communication team, and I know the best about how to destroy the communication line!"

The war in northern Guangdong was delayed until November 5th. The Southern Expedition Army was in stalemate with the Seventh Regiment of the Guangdong Army in Sheling for a day. Until this morning, the scouts discovered the movements of the Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment of the Guangdong Army, and then prepared to launch an attack. After two days of focused reconnaissance, Lechang County found that the Eighth Regiment of the Guangdong Army had retreated back to the suburbs of Renhua County, while the Ninth Regiment was still holding troops in Ruyuan County.

It can be seen that the Eighth Regiment of the Guangdong Army originally planned to help Lechang County, but found that Lechang County had not persisted for a day, so the Southern Expedition Army conquered the entire territory and simply retreated to Renhua County to protect itself. Perhaps the situation in Jiangxi made the Guangdong Army feel even more worried, so they divided their troops to deal with the Northeast front.

At noon that day, the Southern Army fired several rounds of artillery at the Guangdong Army's position in Sheling, like a warm-up.

The Guangdong Army did not take the initiative to attack, but only after judging the position of the artillery in the Southern Army, the artillery also suppressed the firepower.

It’s a pity that the Guangdong Army’s number of artillery is not as large as the Southern Expedition Army. After the two sides attacked each other, the Southern Expedition Army’s firepower was obviously the upper hand.

After an afternoon of artillery battle, the Southern Expedition Army did not send troops to launch an assault, because the terrain in the Snake Ridge area was too rugged and it took some time to draw a topographic map. After the Battle of Lechang, the progress of the Southern Expedition Army slowed down a lot, and generals at all levels showed their sophistication, step by step, and slowly ***.

But no one expected that November 5th was the last comfortable day for the Southern Army. From this night, the Southern Army would permanently lose the initiative.

Chen Jingsheng had never expected that the raid he launched that night had completed a seamless cooperation and tacit understanding with the Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment. The Eighth Regiment was not the reconnaissance of the Southern Conquest Army, but just sent a battalion to create the illusion of retreat. The main force had already marched and rushed towards Laopingshi Town, the logistics transit of the Southern Conquest Army.

As for the Ninth Regiment, it has been dormant in Ruyuan County these days without any movement. Until this morning, I received an order to depart from Ruyuan County to Laopingshi Town. The Ninth Regiment was two days later than the Eighth Regiment, and the march was longer than the Eighth Regiment. It is expected that when I arrived in Laopingshi Town, the Eighth Regiment had already taken it here. The Ninth Regiment's mission was to support the Eighth Regiment and complete the strategic encirclement of the Southern Expedition Army.

The telegraph line of the main force of the Snake Ling South Expedition Army was severely damaged and lost contact with the rear again. After dawn, communication engineers were sent along the telegraph line for maintenance. It was found that the degree of damage was almost necessary to re-open the five-mile-long line to repair.

The communication engineer gave up at that time. They spent a whole day yesterday and barely assumed a three-mile-long line, which was connected to a station in a nearby town. Now, it was so good that it directly destroyed the five-mile-long line. How can we repair it?
