In 1927, just after the Spring Festival, that is, on February 3, the first day of the Spring Festival, when the people went out to clear the snow, they suddenly found that the road was full of soldiers, densely packed, at least two thousand people. There are even cannons! ! !
That's right, as of the Spring Festival, Zhang Yunhan already had 3,000 system soldiers in his hands.
The main infantry regiment of 1,200 people has two battalions of 550 men each. The following are all three-three systems. The two battalions have 6 companies and are equipped with 54 light machine guns, 20 heavy machine guns, and a mortar. Platoon, 6 mortars.
The 2nd and 3rd regiments are mainly composed of half of the system soldiers and new recruits. At present, shooting is no problem, but it is definitely not possible to actually go to the battlefield. They still need to train for a month. Of course, in this operation, they mainly beat some police officers. , there are only about a hundred guns in a county, and to prevent Sun Liangcheng and Ji Hongchang's counterattack, although Liu Yong (**Intelligence), the new director of the Intelligence Bureau, has detected that two troops have gone south, there is still a brigade of more than three thousand in Qingcheng. Man, although the Northwest Army's weapons and equipment are not good, it is notoriously strong in fighting.
One of the targets of this operation, Heshui County, is right next to Qingcheng, so a conflict will definitely break out here.
For this conflict, Zhang Yunhan prepared a mountain artillery battalion! ! ! There are 45 Bofors m1922 75mm mountain guns, the entire battalion has 568 people, 392 main combat soldiers, 149 servicemen, and 27 reserve soldiers.
What Zhang Yunhan now has is equipment, but what he lacks is artillery. In the past month, he has prepared artillery of more than 400 people. For the rest of the biochemical intelligence personnel, Liu Yong (**) is responsible for establishing an intelligence network.
At 7:30 in the morning, Zhang Yunhan issued a battle notice, and the regiment marched westward. Three hours later, the main regiment successfully arrived at the foot of Ningxian County, followed by two mountain artillery batteries.
The regiment Zhang Li Zhi (**) did not give the order to dig trenches, because according to information from the intelligence department, there was only a police force of more than 70 people in the city.
Although Li Zhi is a system soldier, he also has his own character. He understands that the information from the System Soldier Intelligence Bureau is very accurate. Moreover, he looks down on the more than 70 people in the county. His purpose is to eat Zhang Weixi in Qingcheng. department.
"Pass my order and shout to the city to surrender within thirty minutes, otherwise I will not guarantee their personal safety after the city is broken."
"Also, let the artillery push the cannon forward and fire a few cannons into the open space. I believe the city gate will be opened soon."
The ordering soldiers saluted and left, and soon 15 mountain cannons were pushed up.
boom! boom! boom! ! !
The policeman who was at the top of the city went numb when he saw the row of 15 mountain cannons below. As far as he knew, General Feng didn't have many cannons. What's more, when they fire cannons into the open space, they don't skimp on the shells at all.
"Boss, why don't we surrender? Nothing will happen to us in the first place. There are more than a thousand people down there, and they have machine guns, mountain artillery, and everything else. No one will blame us if we surrender, right?"
The police chief nodded knowingly: "Indeed, in this situation, anyone who resists is seeking death."
"Let me open the door below and let's go out."
Soon the city gate of Ningxian County opened, and more than 70 people came out with their hands raised, stacking guns one by one, and then squatted on the other side with their heads in their hands.
"The messenger sent a reply to the commander, saying that our troops have captured Ning County and are marching north. Please ask the commander to send troops to station."
After speaking, Li Zhi left a company to guard the prisoners, while he continued marching north with the main force.
The police leader squatting on the ground saw that Zhang Yunhan's army did not stop but marched north. He immediately knew that the purpose of this group was definitely not just the county seat, but also Heshui County and Qingcheng behind them.
On the other side, at 6 o'clock in the evening, the 2nd Regiment also captured Changwu in a surprise attack. The 3rd Regiment had some resistance, but was quickly wiped out with the help of 6 mountain cannons.
Since then, Zhang Yunhan has successfully captured three county towns. Changwu County is the bridgehead to the south, and the 2 regiments stationed there are enough to defend it. The 3rd regiment is stationed in Zhengning County. There are mountains to the east, which makes marching difficult. Only one battalion can control the place.
On the evening of the 3rd, Heshui County was suddenly attacked. The enemy bombarded the city gate with heavy firepower, and the city tower quickly collapsed. A battalion of more than 400 defenders suffered heavy casualties in just the first wave of confrontation, with a loss of 60%! ! !
The remnant army was quickly defeated and fled westward to Qingcheng.
"Report to the Commander! The 1st Battalion of the Third Team that was stationed in Heshui County just escaped. The battalion commander was killed and more than half of the total victory was lost. Heshui County was attacked by unknown enemy forces. The enemy's firepower was very fierce. According to the wounded soldiers, , the enemy had more than a dozen mountain cannons, and their marksmanship was accurate. They fired machine gun bullets wildly, and our army lost the tower after just one wave of charge."
Zhang Weixi is the commander of the 13th Army. This order was only issued recently. In fact, he has been conducting reorganization training years ago and has more than 15,000 people under his command. However, due to the southward attack, he only has one newly formed independent brigade, mostly new soldiers. It’s no wonder that half of the personnel were lost.
"What are the enemy's uniforms and firearms?"
Zhang Weixi is worthy of being a well-educated person. He first asked about the opponent's military uniforms and weapons to determine which force the enemy belonged to.
"According to the description, the enemy troops were all wearing colorful clothes, and their firearms seemed to be all Mauser rifles. They didn't recognize the heavy machine guns."
"Um?"
Zhang Weixi frowned, colorful military uniforms? All Mauser rifles, I carefully thought about the possibilities in my mind, and after thinking about it, no one in the country met the requirements! !
What's even more frightening is that the enemy actually has mountain cannons, and there are a lot of them. Could it be Liu Zhenhua? Send elite troops to harass the rear? Well, very possible!
After thinking about it, Zhang Weixi felt that it was Liu Zhenhua's sneak attack force. Since it was a sneak attack, he must not have many troops, and since he was fighting with his own battalion, the enemy troops must have been damaged. Although he was defeated, he still had more than 3,300 men. , not cowardly at all.
"Go down with the order, check the weapons and ammunition, and set off on time at seven o'clock tomorrow morning!"
…
At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yunhan was looking at the map in the Ningxian government compound. Now, judging from the situation, the set target had been captured. He had already detached one battalion of the third regiment and headed north to support Li Zhi, and the other battalion rushed back to the Ningxian garrison.
"Commander (our protagonist felt that he must have a loud slogan, so he named his army the Northwest Army and made himself the commander), I mean, this battle with Zhang Weixi must be fought! And we must hurt him."
Zhang Yunhan raised his head and looked at Lu Gang in confusion: "Why is this? The first regiment is the main force of our army. If the losses in the battle with Zhang Weixi are too large, our army will not have a broken hand that can break the enemy's arm."
