Chapter 70 Siege

Since receiving the order from Chairman Jiang himself, Sun Du also knew that this was a rare opportunity... ≦ This kind of action similar to "rescuing the king and saving the emperor" was successful, if it could succeed, Chairman Jiang would definitely not treat him badly in the future.

It was precisely out of this joy that Sun Du, who hoped to gain the trust of Chairman Jiang, reported to the nominal commander Long Yun after pulling out the troops. However, this private mobilization of the army undoubtedly made Long Yun very angry.

Even though Long Yun knew in his heart that Sun Du wanted to play the role of the hero of "supporting the king and saving the emperor". But Sun Du was a general of the Yunnan Army after all, and without reporting to him as the direct commander, he privately pulled troops to save people. What situation should he put in?

If the Yunnan Army had a conflict with the Central Army in the future, wouldn’t it mean that Sun Du would also betray him Long Yun and hug Chairman Jiang’s thigh? I believe that warlords dare no longer trust such a general.

Sun Du, who was just determined to become a hero of the "rescue" in the "God of Rescue", would be very unhappy even if he had thought about Long Yun. But now that the Central Army has occupied Guizhou, the entire southwest will be afraid that the surname is Jiang, not Wang and Long.

Even the troops of Liu Xiang of the Sichuan Army, facing the Central Army's large-scale march to the southwest, may seem to be more willing but less capable? This is why the originally opposed Yunnan Army and Sichuan Army suddenly joined hands to deal with the Red Army.

Sun Du, who had not dared to rest for too long along the way, seemed relieved to arrive in Guiyang. However, when he learned that the Red Army was attacking Guiyang, he also felt that the Red Army was too bold.

It was clear that the Immortal Army would not have much effect at all. Even Sun Du immediately ordered the troops to take a short rest. When the troops recovered some energy, they would continue to move out of Guiyang City.

In his opinion, if the Red Army did not want to be surrounded and annihilated under Guiyang City and heard that they had arrived in Guiyang, the best way was to retreat quickly. But Sun Du also knew that the Red Army was good at using the tactic of "siege the city and attacking aid".

He was also worried that the Red Army would give him the Yunnan military advisor a bag outside Guiyang City? If this is the case, he would definitely not have a good ending if he drilled into the pocket. Therefore, it is still very necessary to be properly vigilant and guarded.

Just as Sun Du ordered the troops to rest on site, a whistling shell instantly caught these tired Yunnan troops off guard. The explosion of the shells also caused great panic in the rest team.

‘Not good! There is an ambush! Hurry up and organize a counterattack!’

Some officers of the Yunnan Army who realized that they had been ambushed by the Red Army still organized troops very quickly and began to set up blocking and counterattack positions in place and some places. But waves of shells after wave made them dizzy.

At the same time, the Red Army, who were ambushing around, also began to attack. Under the cover of the mortar companies of each regiment, the Red Army's firepower was extremely fierce, which made many Yunnan troops not have time to make any defensive counterattacks.

He Zhengdao, who followed the reconnaissance company, also participated in the attack. However, compared to other officers and soldiers rushing forward, He Zhengdao held a rifle and killed the counterattacking Dian Army from time to time.

Looking at He Zhengdao's accurate shooting skills, the two guards who pressed bullets and changed guns for him were also very impressed. In their eyes, watching He Zhengdao kill the enemy is also a rare enjoyment!

Only Chief of Staff Wang Tianlin seemed somewhat dissatisfied with He Zhengdao's behavior of going to the front line in person. But he also knew that He Zhengdao was a person who could not stand loneliness. His combat level was indeed unmatched by the entire division.

Although he only led one reconnaissance company commander, the lethality formed by the reconnaissance company led by He Zhengdao was undoubtedly amazing. The bullets in the rain and the super high gunshots of the reconnaissance company sharpshooters prevented the Yunnan army from retreating step by step.

Many Guizhou troops involved in the attack seemed to have no pressure when attacking these Yunnan troops. If shooting the officers and soldiers of the Guizhou troops made them somewhat unable to do anything, these Yunnan troops did not need to take care of so many.

Looking at the retreating troops and the Red Army that were raiding quickly, Sun Du also knew that he was finished. He was unable to rescue the lord and offended Long Yun. Next, he was afraid that his fate would not be very good.

Faced with the main Red Army force who was pressing forward step by step, an encirclement has begun. Sun Du finally gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat to the rear and break through! As long as we rush out, we can survive!"

Sun Du's idea was correct, but for those officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army who were planning to block the so-called "breakout" order overwhelmed the last straw of victory, and the Yunnan Army who came to aid began to surrender in large numbers.

The officers and soldiers of the reserve battalion who followed the main action also began to detain prisoners and clean the battlefield under the orders. Sun Du, after chasing the reconnaissance company for a period of time, finally ended up in a panic escape.

When the reconnaissance company was ordered to return, they looked at Sun Du and others who were escaping from the mountains and forests, and did not pursue too much. For them, this reinforcement of nearly 10,000 people had been completely destroyed by them.

Knowing that it would take some time to clean the battlefield, He Zhengdao immediately said: "Order the artillery battalion and the first infantry regiment to rush out of Guiyang City to assist the Fourth Regiment in siege. Remember, the task you are going to do is to scare the Central Army in Guiyang City.

The other 2nd and 3rd regiments and logistics regiments began to clean the battlefield and prepare to retreat. Next, it was our turn to run and let the Central Army chase. Everyone was quicker and cleaned the battlefield early, so we could retreat early."

‘Yes! Commander!’

Under He Zhengdao's order, the artillery battalion that had begun to dismantle the mountain cannons and had already pulled the carriage out of Guiyang City. As for the 1st infantry regiment, with the help of the driver of the reconnaissance company, he quickly returned to the logistics regiment for assistance with the help of the driver of the reconnaissance company.

Seeing that the first infantry regiment arrived successfully and the artillery battalion was also on the way, Ma Xiaojun also seemed relieved and said: "Okay, it seems that our move to siege the city and attack the aid has really worked. I wonder, what Chairman Jiang is thinking at this moment!"

After receiving a telegram from Sun Du to ask for help and Zhongfu, Gu Zhutong seemed shocked. He didn't understand how many soldiers this independent division had? Why was there such a big difference between the number of people and the intelligence department's investigation?

Before, in Renhuai City, it was said that there were about 3,000 people. When we arrived at Xifeng City, the Independent Division became six or seven thousand. But now, looking at the troops outside the city, there were still five or six thousand people.

How could the one who ambushed Sun Du tribe be the main force of the Red Army?

Even if he couldn't figure it out, it still made Chairman Jiang furious. The sound of artillery bombardment from time to time made Chairman Jiang feel that this was the revenge and provocation of the Red Army against him.

But the problem is that he still has no choice but to know that this is the case. Even Gu Zhutong ordered the artillery regiment in the city to counterattack the Red Army's artillery positions. But the final effect seemed to be useless at all.

Just as night was about to fall, the artillery battalion of the Independent Division arrived outside Guiyang City in time. Looking at Zhu Ding who pulled the mountain cannons back, Ma Xiaojun also said happily: "Old Zhu, you are finally here!"

‘What? Waiting anxious?’

‘Yes! The artillery regiment of the Central Army in the city plowed almost all the artillery positions I arranged in advance. Fortunately, I changed the place after two shots, so I saved these four mountain cannons. It depends on you next.’

Zhu Ding, who listened to Ma Xiaojun's words, also smiled and said, "Have you calculated the position of the opponent's artillery position?"

‘Think it! This Central Army artillery regiment seems to be very arrogant! They have never changed their artillery positions since the beginning of their counterattack. We had too few artillery before and could not have formed an effective threat at all. It depends on you now!’

'good!'

Zhu Dean, who responded to this very readily, ordered the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion who had just arrived to start setting up mountain cannons. When He Zhengdao came back, the artillery battalion just happened to carry out anti-aircraft attacks.

Listening to the sudden increase in artillery fire outside the city, Gu Zhutong seemed very panicked: "No! Order the artillery regiment to transfer quickly! It's over, our artillery is afraid that there will be no time to transfer!"

Gu Zhutong, who walked out of the command room, soon saw the whistling group of artillery shells landing directly around the artillery regiment's position. He also knew that the artillery regiment had completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Next, without the auxiliary defense of artillery, Guiyang City is afraid it will be really dangerous!

The artillery battalion that had bombed violently quickly ended the artillery as night fell. At this time, many soldiers guarding the city saw torches that began to lit outside the city. The torch light reflected in the red sky made the defenders in the city very nervous.

But the problem is that all the troops staying outside the city have received an order from He Zhengdao. After inserting the torch, all the personnel retreated as quickly as possible and met with the Second Infantry Regiment and the Third Regiment before dawn.

After this battle, the mission of the Independent Division as a vanguard has ended. Next, the Independent Division will assume the heavy responsibility of the rear of the palace and gain more time for the rebellion for the main force of the Red Army in the fight.

The crazy shelling in the evening made the defenders in the city dare not leave the city lightly. This means that when they woke up the next day and found that there was no Red Army outside the city, they realized that the Red Army had retreated in advance.

If they want to pursue it, it is unlikely that they will catch up. Even before the investigation is made clear, the defenders in the city did not dare to leave the city at will. Because they were also worried that if the dispatched troops out of the city would fall into the ambush circle of the Independent Division again!
