236 soldiers besiege Zhang Zizhong (subscribe!!!)

Soldiers surrounded Zhang Zizhong

The sudden rise of Li Guosheng's time and space, and the melee situation in the Central Plains, compared with history, also undergoes earth-shaking plastering. 9                                                                                                          

Feng Yuxiang's 6th Division commanded by Zhang Zizhong, Gao Shuxun's 27th Division directly served as the 8th Division...

Three large divisions under the command of the 3rd Brigade and the Ninth Regiment, plus the corresponding direct troops, a total of 60,000 troops were stationed in Hengshui area under the command of Sun Lianzhong...

Compared with the gathering of Feng Yuxiang's troops in Hengshui, there were also large armies in Dezhou City, Shandong Province. The former command center of the 25th Division had now become the front command center of the Northern Route Army of the Ninth Army.

Of course, at this moment, Li Guosheng, who was sitting in the conference room of the command center, did not know that his opponent was not the same as that of the later anti-Japanese war. All of them were famous anti-Japanese generals from the Northwest Army.

Commander of the 25th Division, Wang Guoli, commander of the 2nd Security Division, Luo Zhang, commander of the 3rd Security Division, Luo Qiyuan, commander of the First Armored Battalion of the Armored Brigade, Chen Hong, commander of the 2nd 105mm caliber of howitzer regiment of the Heavy Artillery Brigade... More than a dozen officers from all over the world, surrounded by a huge combat sand table and listened to the specific introduction of the enemy situation of the Adjutant Li Guosheng, Liu Shaoqing.

"Dear officials, according to the latest information from the Intelligence Department, the total number of troops stored in Hengshui has exceeded 50,000. There are a total of three major divisions of the Ninth Regiment system..."

"The three main divisions, and they are all large-scale members of the 3rd Brigade and Ninth Regiment system. If nothing unexpected happens, the commanders who command these three divisions must be Feng Yuxiang's confidant generals..." Such a large-scale member of the 3rd Brigade and Ninth Regiment system is rare in China. Of course, even if there are, they are all elite soldiers of the warlords. Faced with Liu Shaoqing's introduction, Li Guosheng asked directly, wanting to know which officer in the entire Northwest Army is so worthy of Feng Yuxiang's trust and entrusted with important tasks...

"The commander-in-chief of Feng Yuxiang's 60,000 troops is Sun Lianzhong. Among them, Sun Lianzhong personally served as the division commander. As for the remaining two divisions, Zhang Zizhong's 6th Division and Gao Shuxun's 27th Division..." Liu Shaoqing introduced with a expressionless face.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about... The commander-in-chief of the Hengshui enemy is Sun Lianzhong, and even Zhang Zizhong and Gao Shuxun are here..." Li Guosheng's face suddenly showed a shocked expression and asked incredible expression.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. It is said that, without exception, these three people are all elites under Feng Yuxiang's command known as the "Five Tiger Generals and Thirteen Taishang Bao"..." Liu Shaoqing replied.

Li Guosheng certainly knew the reputation of these three people: not only as adjutant Liu Shaoqing said, these three people are rare anti-Japanese generals among Feng Yuxiang’s “Thirteen Taibao”. What is even more commendable is that these three people in the entire “Thirteen Taibao” left a great reputation in the history of China’s Anti-Japanese War, which made Li Guosheng, who later generations, admired them very much...

Now, the anti-Japanese general who left great military achievements in history has become his own enemy. Li Guosheng was shocked and shocked from the bottom of his heart.

However, after the shock, a deep look of worry followed closely and appeared on Li Guosheng's face.

The three people, facing the Japanese devils with strong combat power on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, can all rely on their poorly equipped Northwest Army and their command capabilities to make great achievements in history. This is enough to show that the three people in front of them are all veterans who have been through the battlefield in the history of the Chinese War of Resistance.

Can you beat these three veterans on the battlefield by yourself, a rising star in the military?

In addition, the 60,000 troops commanded by the three men, without exception, are all elites among Feng Yuxiang's elite troops. With a group of new recruits who have only been trained and have not experienced real actual combat, these elite soldiers in a hundred battles will there be any changes in the entire combat process?

Thinking of this, Li Guosheng immediately fell into deep thought. However, after comparing the equipment and combat skills of the two armies, a trace of confidence followed closely behind, directly covering the worrying expression on his face, and in his heart, he encouraged himself with confidence.

"***, I am a reborn man, and an intermediate officer of the Republic. I have so many cash weapons, equipment and tactics. If I can't even deal with the Northwest Army, which is famous for its backward equipment, then what's the point of living in this world? What's the point of clamoring with the Japanese army... Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong, and Gao Shuxun are not famous anti-Japanese generals? Since my rebirth, I have few anti-Japanese generals who have been defeated by me. I don't believe that they have three heads and six arms..."

Then, under the puzzled gaze of his subordinates, he continued to command Liu Shaoqing with confidence.

"Adminton Liu, continue to introduce the specific enemy's troops to you..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..." Liu Shaoqing pointed to several military key points on the sand table and spoke

"As Longhua, the only town east of Hengshui, which is blocked in front of Dezhou, directly stationed a division of Feng Yuxiang's troops, that is, Zhang Zizhong's Sixth Division. The remaining two divisions are centered on Hengshui County, scattered in the city and outside the city's military camps, and form a corner with the Sixth Division stationed in Longhua, providing support to Zhang Zizhong's troops at any time..."

Facing the unobstructed enemy deployment on the sand table, especially after seeing the plain terrain between Longhua Town and Hengshui County, a very familiar classic battle example came directly to Li Guosheng's mind. He said confidently to his subordinates.

"Zhang Zizhong's 6th Division was stationed in Longhua Town... and Longhua Town is a full thirty kilometers away from Hengshui County. Even if it is attacked, it will take at least five hours to reinforce it... Five hours is enough for us to deploy a huge pocket array between the two places..."

"Commander-in-Chief, what pocket array, have you already had any good ideas..." Among the three division commanders, the oldest and most familiar with Li Guosheng's kingdom power. A cunning gaze flashed quickly in his eyes, and he spoke bluntly.

Li Guosheng did not hide it. After nodding with certainty, he spoke decisively: "Old Wang, you are right... I have indeed had a good idea. It sounds very simple. Just four words: "Siege the city and fight for help"..."

The 100,000 troops of Han Fuqu’s troops, facing the attack of Li Guosheng’s three main divisions, did not hold on for even half a month, and fled Shandong Province in a panic with a group of defeated soldiers... When he first received this battle report, Zhang Zizhong’s first feeling was that he could not believe the authenticity of the telegram content.

As the incident became more and more serious, the remnants of Han Fuqu really began to wander in Hebei, and the news of occupying the territory was completely spread. Zhang Zizhong felt shocked and shocked Li Guosheng's Ninth Army's combat effectiveness.

Of course, Zhang Zizhong, who claimed that his subordinates had experienced the Northern Expedition and had equally strong combat power, was shocked and wanted to "touch" the Ninth Army to compare whose troops were more powerful.

Now, Zhang Zizhong, who finally led his troops to attack Dezhou and wiped out the 9th Army's 25th Division in Dezhou. In order to fulfill this wish in his heart, he asked Sun Lianzhong for the main attack and vanguard mission...

The troops were stationed in Longhua Town, and in a blink of an eye, a week had passed. As various supplies were drawn one after another, the days of attacking Dezhou were getting closer and closer.

Zhang Zizhong, with a strong and energetic face, was standing at the command center and listening to the latest situation of the brigades. An intern staff officer who had just been recruited from the school in the division headquarters rushed in quickly like a dog with a frightened expression on his face. Regardless of the surprise gazes of the command center's command center, he exclaimed in a stuttering tone...

"There is an accident at the division seat...the enemy...outside the town, no, there are a large number of enemies outside the military camp..."

"Bastard, have you forgotten what I teach you? Soldiers, don't forget that you are no longer a student, but a soldier. You are so panicked, what kind of thing is? Report it immediately..." If you were a real soldier under your command, you would definitely be dealt with by Zhang Zizhong to the military law. However, seeing clearly that the intern staff member who had just been recruited from the school and had not yet fully adapted to the life of the army, Zhang Zizhong's decisive face relaxed a lot. However, even so, he still looked down and roared with dissatisfaction.

“Yes, teacher…”

"This is the situation. The peripheral reconnaissance troops just reported that since dawn, there have been signs of unknown troops around us. As time goes by, more and more troops gathered around us have directly formed a loose encirclement outside the military camp. At the same time, the number of enemy troops outside the encirclement is still increasing..."

"Faced with the enemy situation, our reconnaissance troops deployed on the periphery did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent small-scale troops to attack. So far, the periphery reconnaissance troops have clearly investigated: the army surrounding us is the target of our army's attack this time, the Ninth Army under Chairman Li of Shandong Province."

"What did you say? Li Guosheng's Ninth Army surrounded us... How could it be possible? As far as I know, the enemy in Texas opposite had only one division, where did they come from so many troops..." Zhang Zizhong, who was still calm just now, had a look of shock and incredible expression without realizing it, and asked in a deep voice.

An intern staff officer could know how much. Facing Zhang Zizhong's angry replies, he was flushed with a flush on his face and didn't know how to answer. At this moment, the Chief of Staff spoke out and rescued.

"Master, I think we'll go outside the town to see it in person and learn about the specific enemy situation on the spot... I asked an intern staff member here, but I couldn't ask anything at all..."

"The Chief of Staff is right... why are you still standing there? All the regiment commanders, go back to the garrison immediately and control the troops. Three brigade commanders, go with me to the outside of the town. I want to see if this Li Guosheng really has the ability to 'scatter beans into soldiers'. In such a short time, he secretly deployed so many troops around us, and surrounded my 20,000 troops..." A word woke up the dreamer, Zhang Zizhong said with an order with a sudden enlightenment on his face.

"Ten thousand army.... The division seats, right in front of the barracks, at least one division of the Ninth Army was gathered. It seems that the situation is worse than what we heard..." Standing on the watchtower that the troops hurriedly set up, the division commander Zhang Zizhong had already exclaimed before he could raise the telescope, the commander of the first brigade of his subordinate exclaimed...

Looking along the direction of the brigade commander's finger, the wilderness about 1.5 kilometers away from the military camp was directly gathered, as the brigade commander said, and there were dense troops of at least tens of thousands of people. Of course, these troops did not stay in place, but were scattered in units of battalions, waving engineer shovels, and working hard to excavate fortifications in front of the position.

If the Ninth Army wants to siege and wipe out the 20,000 elite troops under its command, it is a process that must be gone through. Therefore, the situation in the telescope did not move Zhang Zizhong too much. However, behind these tens of thousands of troops, a scene directly made Zhang Zizhong's face turn from red to white in the blink of an eye, and then turned ashen...

"This is what Han Fuqu mentioned as the artillery cluster of the Ninth Army..." Looking at the distance of three kilometers, one after another, with black holes raised, neatly placed on the battlefield, a huge artillery position composed of the field artillery regiment directly under the Security Second Division and three mountain artillery battalions. Zhang Zizhong took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhang Zizhong's exclamation immediately attracted the attention of the three brigade commanders. Seeing that outside the military camp, the second security division artillery cluster several times that of his artillery fire was several times higher than his. All the officers who climbed the watchtower also turned pale at the same time.

Of course, this is not what scares all the senior officers of the Sixth Division, including Zhang Zizhong, the most...

Looking around, there were tens of thousands of elite Ninth Army troops in the other three directions of the military camp, without exception. As for the artillery cluster that made these officers feel the most creepy and worried, there was one in all four directions.

"How is it possible for more than 300 large-caliber mountain running balls in front, back, left and right? How could the Ninth Army have so many artillery? Impossible, absolutely impossible. The artillery deployed by Li Guosheng around us must be fake, specifically used to deter us from the false artillery positions..." After five minutes, Zhang Zizhong, who was pale-faced, reacted from his shock and comforted himself to his subordinates behind him.

However, what he didn't expect was that less than five minutes after his encouragement ended, a gunfire performance launched by the Ninth Army directly shattered the last bit of luck left in the hearts of these officers.

When Zhang Zizhong and a group of officers climbed the watchtower to observe the enemy situation around him, Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of the Ninth Army, was about three kilometers away from Zhang Zizhong's army's military camp, and Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, also held a telescope and observed the Sixth Division of the Zhang Zizhong's army with an appreciation expression...

"This Zhang Zizhong is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield. An ordinary military camp is arranged even more closely than the battlefield. Fortunately, I did not choose to launch a sneak attack at the beginning. Otherwise, the troops involved in the sneak attack would definitely suffer heavy losses..." Li Guosheng said to himself.

Then, he asked Liu Shaoqing behind him, "Adminton Liu, brother's combat troops, have they completed the deployment..."

"Commander-in-chief, according to the order, all three main divisions have been arranged... The Second Security Division launched an attack from the front of the military camp, which is the direction where the front enemy command is located. As for the other three directions, three regiments under the Third Security Division carry a large number of "scarecrows" to defend..."

"The mountain artillery group under the three main divisions, the 20105th howitzer regiment of the heavy artillery were deployed on all sides of Zhang Zizhong's military camps according to the orders, providing effective artillery support to the offensive forces... So far, all offensive forces have been moved in place, and we are waiting for the Commander-in-Chief to issue the final offensive order..." Liu Shaoqing replied with a serious face.

"It's a good job...Where is the 25th Division of King Guoli? Has the movement been in place..." Li Guosheng nodded with satisfaction, followed closely and continued to ask.

"The 25th Division under Commander Wang, with more than 500 mortars of various calibers in the entire army, had bypassed Longhua Town five hours ago and advanced towards the scheduled ambush position... According to the latest radio contact between the command center and Commander Wang, the troops had completely entered the ambush battlefield and were setting up the battlefield-..." Liu Shaoqing answered immediately afterwards.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's give Sun Lianzhong and the others a good 'siege and aid'. However, before the real attack on aid, Zhang Zizhong in the encirclement should first understand that after falling into the encirclement of our Ninth Army, there are only two ways to go for him: one, surrender, and one, die in the battlefield..." Li Guosheng said with a bold look on his face.

"Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean?" Liu Shaoqing asked.

"It's very simple. Let's give Zhang Zizhong a gunfire performance first. Let them know the true strength of my Ninth Army, scare the other party and slash the other party's morale..." Li Guosheng ordered decisively.

"Commander-in-Chief, I understand that Bei Yi will immediately issue orders to various artillery clusters..." Liu Shaoqing answered with a deep understanding of the gods.
