Chapter 69 Too arrogant!, ah!)
He knew that he needed to compete with the Central Army for time, but He Zhengdao knew even more that he had never thought of attacking Guiyang.↖In addition to sweeping across the towns and towns around Guiyang, the number of independent divisions was also increasing rapidly.
Although He Zhengdao understood that such a large-scale expansion of the army was not a long-term solution. However, in the current situation, we must have enough troops to attract the attention of the Central Army and provide support for the main force of the Red Army to fight.
After defeating the 103rd Division, He Zhengdao handed over the full responsibility of the prisoners to Yao Shengjun. He even assigned the task to Yao Shengjun to advance to the southwest of Guizhou, and the main force of the pioneer division headquarters was to transfer in advance.
As for He Zhengdao, who led the reconnaissance company and the logistics regiment to the road, he arrived outside Guiyang City as planned. What shocked many people was that this Red Army Independent Division, which was before Sun Du, really blocked Guiyang.
Faced with the situation of siege and not fighting, Chairman Jiang, who was staying in the city, was also so angry that he jumped straight into the foot. While asking where Sun Du's troops had been, he urged the Central Army units that were urgently returning to the aid to Guiyang quickly.
Regarding the thousands of troops outside Guiyang City, Chairman Jiang also felt that the Red Army Independent Division was really rampant. But when the reconnaissance troops outside the city discovered that the Red Army Independent Division had a mountain artillery battalion, Chairman Jiang was also a little worried.
After all, if you want to attack the city these days, you can only rely on your life to fill it without artillery. But what he didn't know was that Sun Du's army, who was anxious to get angry and rushed to Guiyang, was already under the surveillance of the Independent Division's reconnaissance company.
When He learned that the Yunnan Army that came to assist was even equipped with cars, He Zhengdao also felt that these cars must be taken down and transported materials for the Independent Division. With the transportation of cars, I believe that the Independent Division can transfer more quickly.
He Zhengdao, who had already formulated a tactic of besieging the city and attacking aid, saw the intelligence sent by the reconnaissance company and said with a smile: "Order the artillery company of the logistics regiment to create some noise in Guiyang. Otherwise, Chairman Jiang would not be in a hurry!"
He Zhengdao, who learned that Sun Du led the four Yunnan legions to emergency rescue, finally concentrated all three main groups to use. After repeated personnel replenishment, the three main groups now have more than 2,000 people from four main battalions.
The ones that surround Guiyang City are actually the main force of the logistics regiment. The other siege troops considered to be the Red Army are more of the prisoners who are brought to the siege. In He Zhengdao's words, if they want to join the Red Army, they must accept the letter of surrender.
As long as they participate in this battle against Guiyang, if they want to rebel in the future, they must be careful of being punished by the Central Army. After all, the commander in Guiyang at this moment is Chairman Jiang, not an ordinary person!
After receiving a telegram from He Zhengdao, the logistics regiment commander Ma Xiaojun also seemed a little excited: "I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to attack Lao Jiang at such a close distance. Order the artillery company to conduct artillery test firing at Guiyang.
Tell the bastards to launch shelling separately. After shooting two shells, move quickly. There is a whole group of artillery troops in Guiyang City! We must not fight with each other, we can’t afford to pay!"
‘Yes, the leader!’
The correspondent who heard Ma Xiaojun's order was also very excited. He knew even more that after the battle, their logistics regiment would be officially reorganized into the New Fourth Regiment. In addition, the other prisoners to be organized form a new recruit regiment.
In addition, he is still in Xifeng and is responsible for part of the logistics unit. Today, the independent division has more than 10,000 soldiers in terms of the number of troops alone. But it is really unknown how much it can be left in the end of this battle.
The artillery company of the logistics regiment aimed at the main gate of Guiyang City, this time, four mountain cannons were temporarily borrowed from the artillery battalion, and each mountain cannon was responsible for five people. The artillery positions of the four mountain cannons were not in the same place, but the positions of the artillery were all the main gate city walls of Guiyang.
The Guiyang defenders, originally arranged outside the city, eventually retreated into Guiyang City. Because Chairman Jiang, who had insufficient troops, still felt that it would be more secure to transfer these troops into the city!
As Ma Xiaojun's order was issued, the gunman in charge of firing the artillery said nervously: "This first shell must be shot into the city! Remember, after firing two cannons, transfer the artillery immediately, remember them all?"
‘Don’t worry! We all remember, platoon leader!’
When the first shell flew towards Guiyang City like a roar, the other three mountain cannons located nearby fired their first shell almost at the same time. Four mountain cannons roared and all fell into Guiyang City.
The huge explosion of 'boom' made Chairman Jiang, who was staying in the camp, also shocked: "Niang Xipi, the Red Army has begun to attack the city? He, the troops of his division, dare to attack Guiyang City? It's too arrogant!"
But in fact, as the information of this Red Army Independent Division captured Xifeng City and defeating the 103rd Division was sent, Chairman Jiang knew that this Red Army Independent Division, which he had never heard of before, was probably an elite Red Army main division-level unit.
Now they are trapped in the lonely city, most of the information outside can only rely on radio stations to pick up and drop off. The main force of the Red Army who marched into western Guizhou has already caused panic in the entire southern Guizhou area.
Everyone knows that it will take longer to wait for reinforcements returning from the north bank to return to the rescue. The nearest Sun Dubu tribe is still nearly half a day away from Guiyang City!
It seems that this time has not been long, but Chairman Jiang is very clear. Once the Red Army really breaks the city, he will be really embarrassed. For this reason, he also seems a little worried when he hears the sound of cannons coming from the city.
Instead, Gu Zhutong, who accompanied him to Guiyang, comforted him at the right time: "Chairman, don't worry! It's simply a delusion to capture Guiyang City with the power of the Red Army's first division.
In order to avoid panic in the city, I think our artillery regiment can carry out a counterattack. Judging from the frequency of artillery attacks, their number of artillery seems to be small, so we just need to order the city defense forces to resolutely block the attack.
Just when the reinforcements led by Sun Du arrived, we will be the time when we join forces with two bunkers inside and outside to encircle and annihilate them. A main division of the Red Army dares to attack the city in such an arrogant manner. They are really arrogant."
‘Okay, next, you will be instructed to defend the city and fight!’
As an army general and an old opponent of the Red Army, Chairman Jiang also felt that the next battle might be more appropriate to be handed over to Gu Zhutong for command. Gu Zhutong also understood that this was the time for him to show off.
With the sound of artillery fire outside the city from time to time, Gu Zhutong, who came to the command center, immediately ordered the artillery regiment in the city to fight back. But when they fired the artillery, there was no one there where the artillery fired.
The officers and soldiers of the artillery company who had just moved to the new position also said a little astonished: "Damn, fortunately, it's fast to transfer. These white dog artillery soldiers are really rich! They are so rich with so many shells to turn over soil!"
If this is what the artillery in the city hears, he will probably vomit blood!
Just when Gu Zhutong felt that the Red Army's artillery seemed to be counterattacked by them. Four mountain cannons in the new artillery position launched shelling into the city again. Even if they failed to hit the target, they would also make people in the city panic.
In He Zhengdao's words, the function of these four artillery is to create chaos. If you shoot two cannons and change the place, the Central Army artillery in the city cannot lock in their artillery positions, so they will naturally not be able to destroy them.
The other troops involved in the siege were more focused on defending the city. In order to prevent the central army from counterattacking in the city, He Zhengdao ordered them to set up a blocking position behind the feinted troops.
As a result, these four mountain cannons and the mortar company affiliated with the logistics regiment kept firing shells at Guiyang City like guerrilla warfare. Such harassment war also made Chairman Jiang in the city feel upset.
Even Gu Zhutong, who was commanding the battle in the city, was also very confused. Logically, the artillery regiment counterattack was very fast. But why, they just couldn't destroy the Red Army artillery positions outside the city?
Just when Gu Zhutong realized whether this would be the usual siege of the Red Army to attack aid. The Yunnan Army led by Sun Du also arrived less than 20 kilometers outside Guiyang City. And here was exactly the location of the Independent Division ambush circle.
When formulating the combat plan, He Zhengdao considered that if the generals of the Central Army in the city were not stupid, they would know that if the Red Army Independent Division dared to do this, they would definitely have other plans.
Then, when they realized that the independent division might implement the tactic of siege and attacking aid, Sun Du, who rushed to support, would be able to rest in a relatively far away from the city, and then use a steady advancement to avoid being in a hurry.
The independent division at all times set up an ambush position in a place where Sun Du might think it is safe. If the tactics of besieging the city and attacking aid are not seen through, the independent division can also launch a raid here.
In short, looking at the convoy that suddenly stopped moving forward, even though He Zhengdao felt that the opponent had not entered the best ambush circle, he resolutely ordered the attack to begin. Even if he could not completely wipe out and defeat the reinforcement army, the combat intention of the Independent Division was realized.
