The news that Yi Nianguan bandit gangs were almost wiped out overnight soon spread throughout western Hunan and Hubei. The Yichang Government Office and the Western Hubei Security Command jointly issued an announcement, announcing the crimes of Yi Nianguan bandit gangs and strongly praised Zhang Fakui and Fan Shisheng. The command is well-manned and the bandit suppression is effective. Strictly warn all bandit gangs not to be enemies with the central government, otherwise they will end up as miserable as the bandit leader Yi Nianguan.
After Zhang Fakui and Fan Shisheng obtained the news, they found out that they had found all the troops under their command, but none of them came out to receive the merits. However, the two did not take this incident too seriously. It was a merit to wipe out the bandits, and they would let them go if they were confused. It continued to be confused, and did not expect that after this incident, the two parts would cause fierce attacks from Western Hubei divine weapons.
As for An Yi, who was satisfied, he naturally would not say anything. After finishing the disaster relief affairs in Yichang, he immediately went south quietly and went to Gancheng according to Chiang Kai-shek's secret orders, and personally went to command Shi Zhen's military operations, the empty troops in western Guizhou and The sporadic battle situation changed suddenly.
...
"Shh--"
Zhang Hongluan waved his hand and signaled the surrounding schools to calm down. Then Xiao looked at An Yi, who was hiding behind Shigang thirty meters away in front of him. The direction of everyone was at the lower wind, and he faintly smelled the wild beasts sent by the mountain wind. The breath is the surrounding mountains and valleys are silent, only the vast forest and the trees and grasses around you are swaying in the wind.
"Ba"
The crisp gunshots mixed with the tragedy of the deer, instantly resounded throughout the valley. On the high mountain that was more than 100 meters above An Yi, a scented deer with a body length of more than 30 kilograms was shot in the head, and was depressed. He fell down, rolled down a cliff more than ten meters high, and fell into the middle of the grass on the mountainside below.
Zhang Hongluan and Shi Zhen and others holding the telescope cheered in unison. The three young majors excitedly rushed towards their prey with rifles. After a while, they carried the red fur with white spots and the smell of deer with still body temperature to the generals. In front of him, the generals saw the bullet holes with blood seeping on the head of the deer, and praised An Yi's shooting skills in unison.
Deputy Commander Deng Bin told everyone with a romance: "When I was in the independent division, only the instructor Li Fuqiang's gun skills were comparable to those of the master. I was also under the guidance of Brother Li and Master Li to enter the top three. The shooting textbook that our army has used for two years is written by the head of the division himself.”
The generals were quite surprised when they heard this and asked Deng Bin why he didn't say anything earlier? An Yi beat him up and corrected him:
"Everyone, because I have been busy with government affairs recently, my shooting skills have declined a lot. If my brothers gather together to compete again, I am afraid I will not be able to enter the top ten, and Deputy Commander Deng may not be able to enter the top three. It’s like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat!”
"No, Master, I haven't been able to practice guns. Apart from you and Brother Li, who else can win the younger brother in the past two years?" Deng Bin was slightly surprised and looked at An Yi in confusion. .
Liu Yifang, a young major who had just gone to carry his prey back, heard Deng Bin's question and replied with a smile: "Sir Deng, have you forgotten Xiao Jin? You took him on the mission at the beginning, and Xiao Jin's junior brother is now the Whampoa Military Academy. A sharpshooter has performed marksmanship to visiting envoys and military officers from all over the world. Regardless of rifles and pistols, this guy plays around. Every performance makes the audience scream and feel excited. I heard that the military academy plans to keep him. He served as a lieutenant colonel instructor, but he didn't want to. When my younger brother and others graduated on the fifteenth of last month, Xiao Jin was so envious that he wanted to graduate and return to the army as soon as possible."
Shi Zhen thought about it and asked uncertainly: "Brother An, is Xiao Anjin your younger brother? That kid is so old, now he becomes a lieutenant colonel? Is it easier to get promoted to the Whampoa Military Academy?
”
"Brother Shi misunderstood!"
Deng Bin smiled and shook his head, and explained patiently: "Although my apprentice Xiao Jin is young, he has outstanding military achievements. He has been awarded fifteen times. After joining the army, he died at his gun. The generals of the Zhilu Army and the Anhui Army were not inferior to him.
One of them is a lieutenant general and six are major generals. There are countless lieutenant-level ranks, haha! Tell me, can you not be promoted with such achievements? He has accumulated merits when he entered the seventh period of Huangpu in March this year.
At least he went to school, and frequently fought for the bosses and the Central Army in front of foreigners and friendly forces in the north and south. It is normal for him to be promoted to a higher level. Others do not have the luck and strength of his, so he is considered a
A special case in Huangpu.
Look, Yifang, Changhe and Changgeng entered the model camp in the early stage of the Northern Expedition. At that time, they were still babies from the northern Hunan mountainous areas who didn't know anything. They grew up after the Northern Expedition in two years and almost participated in the model camp to the independent division.
In each battle, the military rank has gradually been promoted. The dozen Xiangbei brothers who joined the model battalion at the same time are now only three of them. However, they still have the rank of major after graduating from the sixth period. Although the military rank is already very good compared to many Huangpu students.
It's so high, but it's still a little bit worse than Xiao Jin who joined the army after he conquered Nanjing."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized it and there was another heated discussion. The generals and schools, who had admired An Yi's independent teacher but were not convinced, also had a deeper understanding of the generals and six major generals. A little gunman killed a lieutenant general and six major generals. This strength
Who can't accept it there? Who dares not accept it?
Shi Zhen shook her head and laughed at herself, patted Liu Yifang on the shoulder and praised her a few words, then pulled out a sharp dagger, walked in front of the prey in two steps, squatted down, turned over the body of the deer, and quickly cut off the flesh around the navel to clean it.
After finishing, I took it to everyone:
"Yifang, I will teach you how to get musk. When you arrive in northwestern Guizhou in the future, you have to hunt if you have time... Oh, such a big musk bag is rare, it would be even better if you catch it in late autumn. Take it back
It’s dried and kept. It’s just right to roast the deer meat tonight and serve wine, haha!”
The setting sun sets westward, and a group of generals and generals rode back to the military headquarters with their abundant prey. Several fire-headed soldiers were already waiting there, and they took the prey and went there happily.
Two hours later, the nave of the temple was brightly lit. The generals sat around the long table with eight meters long and two meters wide and full of wine. They began to touch on the topic, and the heavy velvet hanging in front of the huge screen on the north side.
The curtain was opened, and the large map of Hunan-Guizhou-Sichuan border area came into view.
Zhang Cunzhuang, the chief of staff of the 44th Army, politely pulled Shi Zhen's chief of staff Wang Yongli, and walked to the front of the map together. The two gave in a few words to each other. Finally, Zhang Cunzhuang took the baton handed over by the staff and began to loudly inform the current situation:
"Everyone, as of yesterday afternoon, Li Shen's troops have completely occupied Guiyang and the surrounding six counties, as well as Changshun, Huishui, Duyun, Dushan and other places in southern Qiannan. Currently, there are only Rongjiang in eastern Qiandong, Zhenyuan and Tongren in northeast China and Tongren in northeast China.
There are still battles, but the scale has become much smaller. Although Zhou Xicheng was defeated and died, his remaining troops were still in Tongren, Zunyi and Bijie, and they used small forces to carry out raids on Li Shen's troops stationed in the county town.
The war happened under our army's nose.
Long Yun's two divisions suddenly retreated to Qujing the day before yesterday. Even an Anshun brigade hurried west. It is still unknown why it suddenly withdrew. Based on our understanding and summary of the various forces in Yunnan over the past year,
It is estimated that Lu Han and others who are dissatisfied with Long Yun took advantage of the sudden launch of a mutiny when Long Yun's main force left Yunnan. Otherwise, Long Yun would not have gone so urgently, nor would he give up consuming more than 2,000 soldiers.
The specific situation of Pan County and surrounding areas that have been struggling to capture will be clarified within two days."
Zhang Cunzhuang paused for a moment, waited for everyone to digest the news slightly, and then analyzed: "Based on the current situation and the emergency secret order sent by Commander-in-Chief Jiang to the Hunan-Guizhou-Sichuan Border Region, we unanimously agreed that the time for Brother Shi Zhen's operation was ripe,
We must seize the fleeting favorable opportunity at present, and immediately call the whole country to support the central leadership. With the righteousness of eliminating the war in Guizhou and restoring people's livelihood, we must take advantage of the 19th Regiment of the remnants of Zhou Xicheng to capture Bijie and adopt the tactic of sudden attacks and siege in one fell swoop.
Bijie immediately rushed south and forcibly occupied Anshun, which the Dian Army had abandoned.
After the battle between Li Shen's troops, only about 30,000 troops were left. Now most of the troops were placed on the front lines of Guiyang, Qiannan and Guiyang. After dozens of days of hard fighting, they were already exhausted. The remnants of Zhou Xicheng who were incorporated were still bargaining.
If you cannot form combat power in the short term, you will not rise up at this time, when will you wait?"
The generals and the school agreed in unison, extremely excited. At Zhang Cunzhuang's request, Wang Yongli proposed the combat plan of his troops to everyone:
"Our First Division has always occupied Puyi Town, an important town at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou. In the early morning of yesterday, the first division commander Mo Xiaolin and Mo led three regiments under his command to bypass Bijie and occupied Pan County, which had no soldiers and soldiers in one fell swoop.
Contact the remnants of Zhou Xicheng, which are scattered in the surrounding areas, and if it goes well, it will be incorporated soon; the Second Division and the Command are both in Xishui County, and the Ninth Regiment of the Second Division is still sticking to Gulin. We plan to attack within three days
The group of Zhang Xinfang, the former subordinate of Zhou Xicheng, who had just taken down Bijie, thus connecting the entire northern Guizhou area.
At present, there are two practical difficulties faced by our headquarters. First, our headquarters has a total force of 15,000 troops, including 13,500 combat troops and 1,500 logistics and organs. Due to the First Division,
Taking the lead in action, we allocated the Fifth and Sixth Regiments of the Second Division to the First Division. Currently, there are only three main regiments left in the Second Division, and we still have to stay in Xishui, Gulin area, and the troops are really limited. The second division is now in the past three major regiments.
The difficulty is the political influence after occupying Bijie and Pan County. I beg General An and Zhang Junzuo to give tactical guidance. "
The school immediately started to calculate, and there was a constant buzzing sound. Shi Zhen whispered to Zhang Hongluan and An Yi beside him, saying that weapons and ammunition were enough to arm 25,000 people, but because Sichuan to the north and Guizhou to the south were everywhere.
In the war, many young and strong people were recruited. The two newly surrendered green forest armed forces were of varying quality and were still under training. In a short period of time, there might be no better way to recruit Zhou Xi to become the remnants.
Zhang Hongluan, who had already been firmly in mind, asked with a smile: "Brother Shi, how many troops do you think do you need?"
"It costs at least three thousand. It would be easier if you could have two more regiments on hand, and it would basically meet the current military target." Shi Zhen replied without hesitation, obviously having been thinking about it for a long time.
Zhang Hongluan nodded in a clear way: "So, I will give Brother Shi a new brigade of 6,000 people. Is Brother Shi enough?"
Shi Zhen was overjoyed: "That's great! Brother... I am grateful for it, I can't repay you!"
Zhang Hongluan waved his hand and said disrespectfully: "No need to thank me. If you want to thank you, thank Nephew An. He prepared for his brother's work today. He also seized tens of thousands of units that he seized in the battle against Gui two months ago.
The long and short guns and two hundred light and heavy machine guns were quietly sent to our Xiangxi Arsenal for repair. Half of them were equipped with three new recruits who were recruited at the beginning of the year. My nephew Zhong Zhiyuan, deputy of my teaching regiment, led a group of 100-person instructors to train day and night.
It is now available for use.
According to the suggestions of Nephew An Xian, he discussed and agreed with our department, and decided to hand over Zhong Zhiyuan to my brother together with his three regiments. In addition, 150 non-commissioned officers from your department who had been trained in the teaching group of our military headquarters for half a year. This time, my brother
They can also be taken away as much as possible. I can put them in the recruited team as the company platoon leader, so that they can completely control the surrendered soldiers and slowly transform them into an elite soldier."
An Yi held Shi Zhen's hand and said without waiting for him to thank him immediately: "Brother Shi, I have a suggestion. If Brother Shi is unwilling to cause too many casualties in this operation, you can do it to Bijie.
Luo Qingtian's troops surrounded but did not attack, and led Zhong Zhiyuan's brigade to raid Huairen and Jinsha counties, cutting off the remnants of Zhouxicheng in Bijie and the remnants of Zunyi area in one fell swoop. At that time, the two thousand remnants of Luo Qingtian in Bijie City will definitely be shaken.
So what if you ask Brother Mo Xiaolin, a division commander who is also a brother in the Yunnan martial arts lecture hall, to meet him and promise him to be a deputy division commander? Just take in Luo Qingtian and his brothers who have lived for the rest of their lives,
After further training, Bijie will be as solid as a god!
In this way, Pan County on the south side will be connected with Bijie. Just let the rapidly growing brother Mo Xiaolin guard it. Brother Shi can easily command the second division of Panjin Yue, who has been supplemented, to enter Huairen and recruit soldiers and horses.
At the same time, we can covet Zunyi as much as possible. Not only does this territory expand exponentially, but we still have more than 20,000 soldiers who have experienced the war. Who dares to underestimate my brother again in the future?"
Before Zhang Hongluan could digest Shi Zhen, who was extremely happy, then added: "Another, as soon as Brother Shi started, I would let Cun Zhuang lead the First Division to set off. While Li Shen was unable to take care of Northeast Guizhou, I would first take
Let’s take down the three counties of Yanhe, Xiushan and Songtao next to us. Let’s block the two doors of Li Shen from Guizhou to Hunan. I believe he will understand the relationship between our brothers, haha!
How many times can we fight in life? We are getting older every year. We fight once every time, and we must not lose our chances and never come again!”
Shi Zhen stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Zhang Hongluan and An Yi respectfully. An Yi quickly stood up and stepped forward to support him. The generals in the hall laughed knowingly, and each smiled and had a hundred times more confidence.
