As an important tax source for the Guizhou Army, Daguxinchang has always been a commercial place that Guizhou warlords attach importance to. Whoever owns this land will have stable tax revenue. With money, it will be easy to expand and support the army.

Even if He Zhichong, the commander of the newly formed 1o3 Division, also chose this land as the location of their 1o3 Division's division headquarters. After receiving the order from Chairman Jiang, he did not bring all the troops out.

He Zhizhong, who has four main groups and many garrison militias, felt that leading three main groups this time should be able to deal with the Red Army that broke into Xifeng alone. After all, according to intelligence, this group only has about 3,000 people.

The three-to-one force, plus they also have a Xifeng Guard Regiment, is far superior to the Red Army, which has become an isolated army. The remaining main force regiment belonging to the 1o3 Division is still left at the Daguxinchang.

Looking at the information sent by the reconnaissance company 6 times, He Zhengdao said happily: "Chief of Staff, it seems that this Commander He still cares about his lair! He did not follow the instructions and drove out all the main forces of the division!"

‘Isn’t that right? If he really pulls out the main force of the entire division, I’m afraid we will be really hard to fight this battle. Now, 3,000 vs. 9,000, we are under a lot of pressure!’

Even if we build an ambush position in advance, in Wang Tianlin's view, the strength of this newly-edition 1o3 division should not be underestimated. Fortunately, the 1o3 division was not seen carrying mountain cannons in the information sent back by the reconnaissance company.

Despite the mortars, in the subsequent ambush battle, the division with mountain cannons had a great advantage in heavy firepower. Wang Tianlin also felt that this was a stroke of dynasty when he buried the mountain cannon in Xifeng.

Regarding the concerns that Wang Tianlin still existed, He Zhengdao smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, with the firepower of our two main infantry regiments, plus the mortar companies of the two regiments, the heavy machine gun companies and artillery battalions.

Under such a full attack, how long do you think the Guizhou Army can last with the current strength? What's more, this Guizhou Army was reorganized from the remnants of the 25th Army. When we meet us again, their fighting spirit is probably not high.

I believe many Guizhou troops will feel glad that they could save their lives from the main force in the previous episode. As long as we successfully ambush, even if we cannot wipe out them all, at least we can defeat them and let them eliminate the attempt to trash our way."

After listening to He Zhengdao's analysis, Wang Tianlin also felt that it was possible. The regiment was in Xifeng and ambushing the 59th Division of the Central Army. Isn't it because the Central Army has no power to fight back?

After analyzing these, He Zhengdao said to the correspondent: "Call the headquarters and tell the brothers attacking the Daguxinchang. The 1o3 Division also left a main regiment, and their division's artillery battalion was not accompanied."

I feel it is necessary, so I would like to remind the Red Ninth Army that attacked the new field of the Guxin Field. After all, a regular Guizhou Army main force, plus a division artillery battalion, still has many advantages in fighting defensive warfare.

What's more, there are still many garrison militias in the Daguxinchang area. Once these people attack, they will surely cause some trouble to the Red Army. Therefore, I would like to remind the offensive troops that they need to be careful.

After receiving the telegram from the division, Mao Taizu also said quickly: "Report to the Red Ninth Army and truthfully report the situation to them. Let the Red Ninth Army try to be careful of the enemy's shelling when attacking."

'yes!'

When the information was transferred to the Red Ninth Army, the commander of the Legion Luo Binghui also felt that the information was very timely. If he attacked rashly, it would be possible that the attacking Red Group would fall. The role that an artillery battalion could not be underestimated!

‘Comrade, convey this situation to the Red Regiment in a timely manner. Order our other troops participating in the offensive to steadily advance to take down the new field of Dagu, and try to avoid major casualties!’

With the radio waves of the two armies, they were transmitted in western Guizhou. The division, which had been waiting for nearly a day, finally waited for the news that the 1o3rd Division was about to arrive at the ambush circle. For a moment, all the Red Army commanders and fighters were ready for the attack.

As the killer weapon of this ambush, the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion felt that it was too tiring to run back and forth. They still insisted on setting up the mountain cannons, waiting for He Zhengdao's orders at any time, and then attacking the 1o3 Division again.

As for outside Xifeng City, Zhang Cheng was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he sent people to the city from time to time to persuade him to surrender. Unfortunately, the garrison commander on the city did not dare to surrender casually. If he surrendered, he would definitely die.

In view of this situation, Zhang Cheng, who came to the direct artillery company of the regiment, asked: "Wait, you can aim at the city tower and launch artillery bombardment. Our scouts before, saw that there seemed to be many officers on the city tower.

You should quickly adjust the artillery and strive for a shot. If you can kill a few Guizhou military officers, this battle may be much easier. Although the division commander ordered us to be a feint attack, if we can take Xifeng in advance, we will be much easier for this battle next!"

Listening to Zhang Cheng's words, the artillery company commander also said seriously: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander, we will win the opportunity!"

The artillery company commander who personally adjusted the artillery parameters heard Zhang Cheng say, "Fire the artillery!"

‘Yes, the leader!’

As the Sanmen Mountain Cannons launched artillery bombardment at the same time, the garrison commander who was encouraging officers and soldiers to hold on the city tower, as soon as he heard the 'Beware of the regiment', he heard a violent explosion in his ears, and he knew nothing in a blink of an eye!

Seeing the three shells and two hit the city tower directly, Zhang Cheng also said excitedly: "Good shot! Keep going!"

‘Yes, the leader!’

Except for one mountain cannon, which was adjusted again, the other two mountain cannons roared again. The shells after one after another made the Guizhou military and civilian groups on the city wall frightened. They felt that this battle could not be fought at all.

At this time, Zhang Cheng ordered again: "Order the regiment's mortar company to launch artillery attacks. The regiment's direct heavy machine gun company will cover fire, strive to add another fire, and force these militias to voluntarily abandon the city and surrender!"

Zhang Cheng, who could see the panic on the city tower from the telescope, felt that it was necessary to add another fire. If he could take down Xifeng City before the main force arrived, it would also be an encouragement for the newly expanded group!

Sure enough, as a regiment of heavy machine guns roared, the officers and soldiers of the regiment's mortar company directly under the regiment began to move the mortar position forward. Looking at the Red Army who were carrying the guns, the militia officers and soldiers on the city were even more panicked.

Although there were garrison officers who ordered the militia to shoot. However, in the face of heavy machine guns, these militia soldiers did not dare to appear at will. Even if they fired, most of the bullets would be shot into the sky.

Moreover, the sharpshooters in the group also cooperated with the heavy machine gun company to launch precise shooting. Most of the militia soldiers exposed to the gun could not escape their shooting. Looking at the people around him who fell down, the militia soldiers on the city wall were even more frightened.

When the deputy garrison commander in the city looked at the dead commander and the two seriously injured battalion commanders, they felt bitter. Facing the Red Army with artillery, how could they hold on until the 1o3rd Division came to support?

‘Quick! Report to the 1o3 Division and let them speed up. The Red Army has launched an attack and we can hardly hold on.’

The result was natural. When he received a telegram from the garrison regiment, he learned that the isolated regiment had launched an attack. He Zhizhong did not dare to neglect his troops and ordered the troops to speed up their advance again.

If this group really takes down Xifeng City, it will be not that easy for them to pursue it. If the other party seizes the city and defends it, with the weapons they carry, they will not have much hope to regain Xifeng City!

It was also the telegram from the garrison regiment that made He Zhizhong feel that the only regiment that attacked Xifeng was to take down Xishui and Renhuai's Red Army. He had no idea that the main force of the division had been waiting for them for a long time.

When He learned that the 1o3 Division had once again rushed to Xifeng for help, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Okay! It seems that this guy is anxious! Order the troops to prepare for combat. Once the main force of the 1o3 Division enters the ambush circle, attack immediately!"

After the order was conveyed, the division officers and soldiers lurking in the trenches also seemed very expectant and nervous, staring at the official road ahead. Once the battle started, all they had to do was to fire the bullets in the gun as quickly as possible.

As the way, the officers and soldiers of every division knew that they were no short of guns and ammunition. So, after the battle started, they could shoot with all their might, without worrying about not enough bullets!

At this moment, Wu Zhefeng, who was also hidden behind the ambush position, was a little worried about the division headquarters. He knew that the 1o3 division would be in danger next.

But he knew very well that although the regiment currently uses them as a reserve team and is ready to join the subsequent battles at any time, in fact, they still did not get the full trust of the division.

If he dares to do anything to warn in advance, waiting for his fate is also death. And other prisoners of Guizhou Army who are sympathetic to the 1o3 Division are also clear about this.

Once the battle begins, there seems to be only a matter of time left before the 1o3 Division is defeated or destroyed. Once the 1o3 Division is defeated, the entire Qianxi area will be unprepared for the main force of the Red Army.

Even if Guiyang, which is attacked by the division general this time, will be under the main force of the Red Army. It seems that the prospect of encircling and suppressing the coalition forces this time is worrying! So, does this mean that joining the Red Army is also a good choice?
