Chapter Twelve
The provincial army was defeated, and the 17th Division chased after him, taking the opportunity to conquer the Yishui River in the north, turning the entire Yimeng Mountains into the controlled area of Liu Jingxiao. The vanguard chased him to the bottom of Xintai City, and then he took the entire Yimeng Mountains in sight.
Xintai is pillowing on Mount Tai and surrounded by Yimeng, which can be said to be a key place. The remnants of the second mixed brigade of the provincial army retreated into the city and did not follow the third. The fourth two mixed brigade fled north and sent scouts that there was about a battalion of troops.
The troops under the city were mixed and could not be unified in command. There were several regiments. These people were the highest in their posts. However, his basic unit, Sima Kanying, was transferred to Yishui, and the other battalion was left behind and arrived in Xintai. He was mediocre and incompetent, so he could not suppress the opinions of several battalion commanders.
At this time, Battalion Commander Hu Bo relied on his old man from the Dingbian Army to speak: "If we don't conquer Xintai, wouldn't we have been in vain?"
Of course, if you can't defeat Xintai, Battalion Commander Hu has come in vain! The first achievement of this battle is naturally Ding Ning. Seeing this little girl's rocket-like promotion, he didn't know how depressed he was. After this battle, Ding Ning must have advanced to the next level, but the 17th Division has always been acclaimed for military achievements, so Hu Bo could only hide his depression in his stomach.
But the first contribution was not his, and the second reason was that it was not his turn. The old principal Sima Kan used an infantry battalion to resist the attack of the first brigade of the provincial army without moving his position, and finally took the initiative to attack and gained a lot.
Although he was the main attack battalion on another battlefield, most of the captives were captured by Yu Changqing. In addition, he had to make a great contribution to the war before he started a war in Mengyin.
He was planning the troops under Xintai City, with a total of three complete infantry battalions and two security battalions, plus some artillery, as a part of the artillery, there was a full cavalry regiment as the main force of the mobile force. Although Li Jianshuang's battalion fell behind, it could catch up quickly. The city's defenders only had one battalion, so Battalion Commander Hu Bo immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Battleman Yu, take down the city! The front is completely empty, let's go straight to Laiwu!"
Yu Changqing was also a famous warlike person and shouted: "Fight! Let's talk about it after you fight!"
Li Heyi was famous for being mediocre and incompetent. When he saw that both battalion commanders advocated fighting the battalion commander, he also agreed with the opinions of the two battalion commanders. However, Chen Yu was relatively steady. When he saw the troops chasing all the way, he said, "Do you have to sort out the team first? By the way, you have to notify the division commander and ask him to send more troops to support him!"
Hu Bo's opinion was very straightforward, and he said, "Let's talk about it after the battle, don't talk about other issues! When the troops behind us come up, we will finish the war long ago!"
As a result, the trial attack was first met with a hard nail. The defenders in the city were led by Battalion Commander Shen Ying of the Second Mixed Brigade. Shen Ying was a very outstanding officer. When he was surrounded by Mengyin, he shouted: "Cald back with me to see my wife and children." Then he rushed to the front line to lead the team to attack, and rushed out of Ding Ning's encirclement with thousands of people.
He retreated all the way to Xintai, and immediately prepared for defense without any rest. He first repaired the fortifications and then added the security team and the soldiers in the police team to the army. In this way, the defenders in the city were not one battalion, but more than 1,500 people, equivalent to two reinforced battalions.
Outside the city was just an artillery company in Mengding Kingdom and five infantry battalions, while the three infantry battalions of the 17th Division were all behind. The two battalions of the security forces were actually only equivalent to two reinforced companies of the 17th Division. Cavalry cannot be used for siege, and the reserve team was actually used for siege. It was just the force of the two battalions.
Mengyin City.
"Su San left Hongdong County and came to the street. He had never spoken up and felt dismal. The gentlemen of the past listened to me..."
The actor has a good singing and singing skills, but both of the two pairs of brothers in distress have no intention of listening to the opera. Hu Bo patted the shoulder of the person beside him and said, "Brother, you have to think of a way for me to think of a way, how can you get through the current level?"
Under Xintai City, the attack on the city without asking for instructions was a big mistake. But what was even more fatal was that Battalion Commander Hu won a big victory (this is what Hu Bo has always told readers in his memoirs that our army only suffered more than 200 casualties in the Battle of Xintai, and the enemy's casualties were three times that of me. Finally, seeing the arrival of Xintai General, our army withdrew from the battle because of the arrival of the enemy reinforcements. Regarding the diary of the 17th Division, the Xintai battle said that 600 casualties and 500 enemies were killed, Hu Bo spent a full ten pages to carefully argue and refute it). This victory surprised Liu Jingxiao. Now Hu Bo wanted to ask Liu Jingxiao to give him some money.
Bai Siwen, who also won the victory of Liu Jingxiao's praise, had long been planning for this. He said, "Is this? Our teacher has always been far-sighted. What we have not seen, what the teacher saw, what we did not think about, what the teacher thought about! So we implement the teacher's instructions, and we don't have to think about what he asked us to do!"
This is equivalent to nonsense, Bai Siwen didn't actually say anything. He heard that the Mengyin Battle was a complete victory, so he immediately volunteered to fight on the front line. However, everyone had a high estimate of his combat effectiveness and would rather use his troops as the general reserve team than use them easily. Therefore, he and Hu Bo, who also won a great victory, were bored and ran here to watch the show together.
However, Hu Bo's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted: "I have it! I have it!"
Bai Siwen immediately asked, "What do you mean? After passing this level, you must pull me!"
Hu Bo pointed to the actor who played Su San on the stage and said to Bai Siwen: "Did you see?"
Bai Siwen is also a smart person. When he saw this actor with a good face and good singing skills, Shuixu changed his body shape as soon as he moved. He was a 100% beauty. He immediately understood and said, "Hao! Really tall!"
Hu Bo said proudly: "Do you know Mrs. Wanyan? Tell you the truth, we tied her together and sent her to the tent of the commander..."
Since the topic started, it was like the fragrance. The two generals who won a great victory took action immediately before the play was finished.
Liu Jingxiao refused to allow troops to steal people, and even forbidden the matter, Hu Bo borrowed five hundred oceans and found the master of the play troupe, and then sent a row of soldiers to raise bayonets to protect the driver. As a result, the headmaster was so scared that his face turned pale and could not say a word. The actor was also pale and dared not speak. He was immediately sent to the carriage and sent to the Linyi Guardian Office.
