The battlefield outside Jining County is already under fire.
Hu Zhenfeng, commander of the First Division of the Eastern Sichuan Army, was looking at the position ahead with a telescope.
"Master, An Rulong can't hold on much longer. We have occupied three of their positions, and now only this one is left." The division chief of staff said with a smile behind Hu Zhenfeng.
"How many people we lost."
Hu Zhenfeng turned around and asked.
"There must be more than three thousand people."
"There are more than 3,000 people. We have lost more than 3,000 people and have not yet completely captured Jining City. What is there to be happy about? Fortunately, An Rulong's troops are not that powerful. Otherwise, it is not certain whether we could have fought like this." Hu Zhenfeng said lightly.
"Master, you can't blame us. Half of the soldiers in our army have not received much training. They are basically recruited as soldiers. It will be good if they can go to the battlefield." The chief of staff said with a grimace. .
"You also know that the commander only wants to eat, drink and have fun, and the troops only need to be able to use guns. How can such an army fight? It is said that there are more than 20,000 people, but in fact, if you encounter an army that can actually fight, you can't defeat even 5,000. The Fourteenth Regiment is an example. Although it was dispersed, who doesn’t know how much it cost?”
"An Rulong can lose more than 3,000 people by attacking a small one, and that's with the help of artillery fire. An Rulong doesn't have a mortar."
"Commander...be careful what you say!" The chief of staff quickly looked around.
"Humph" Hu Zhenfeng snorted coldly and turned around and walked out.
In Jining County.
An Rulong is packing her things at her home. Yes, she is ready to run away.
He knows that if Cheng Po is caught, he will die. He still has a lot of money and can survive wherever he goes.
He told no one, including his own soldiers, who were all sent out to the battlefield.
"Damn it, you must hold on longer. Just wait until I run out. Do whatever you want. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me." An Rulong said while pretending to be money.
Suddenly, he felt someone behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw an outstanding-looking girl at the door pointing a gun at An Rulong.
"Quiet...quiet..." An Rulong raised his hand tremblingly.
There was a smile on the girl's face, and there was still blood on the corner of her mouth.
This girl is Hua Kang's daughter Hua Jing. After Hua Kang's death, she and her mother have been tortured by An Rulong. A few days ago, she witnessed her mother being tortured to death by An Rulong and then being treated like garbage. After being thrown out, she repeatedly begged but failed to get her mother a peaceful burial.
"Quiet... Calm down... Put down the gun first..." An Rulong was really scared at this time. He now regretted why he forgot to pick up the gun.
"Jingjing...I'll have your mother buried right now, okay...you put down the gun first."
"No need." Jingjing shook her head sadly and said lightly: "I'm going down to accompany my mother. I won't let my mother be alone. Before that, I will take you with me."
"No... don't, Jingjing... you... you're still young... I have a lot of money... bang~" An Rulong said with a trembling body, but before he finished speaking, Jingjing's pistol fired. A bullet penetrated An Rulong's heart.
Just like that, An Rulong lay straight on his money with his eyes wide open.
After Jingjing fired the gun, she seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She knelt down on the floor, looked at the gun in her hand and said lightly: "Dad, Mom..."
"I have avenged you...my daughter is here to accompany you...wait for me..."
As Jingjing spoke, two lines of tears flowed from her eyes. She slowly raised her pistol and shot herself in the temple.
…
outside the city.
An Rulong's troops had been defeated.
After the Sichuan Eastern Army occupied Jining City, they began to loot and kill. Fortunately, Hu Zhenfeng stopped them in time.
When Hu Zhenfeng arrived at An Rulong's residence, he saw the scene just now.
"Who is this girl, Huakang's daughter?" Hu Zhenfeng asked.
"It seems really..." the chief of staff looked behind him carefully and said.
At this time, Hu Zhenfeng and the chief of staff had roughly guessed what was going on.
Hu Zhenfeng waved his hand and said, "Bury her properly."
"Yes, Master."
"Leave one regiment in Jining City to garrison, and the rest will return the same way."
"I'll go and deliver the order right away."
Sanla River.
Just now, Sun Yu's supporting ammunition had been delivered to Qian Meng.
Qian Meng ordered the artillery battalion to launch an indiscriminate bombing of the original second battalion's position.
After the explosion, the whole brigade rushed forward.
After the entire army occupied the position without any obstruction, Qian Meng also came to the position.
"Damn, we should have persisted a little longer, otherwise we would have been successful long ago." Qian Meng cursed fiercely.
"Prince, how do you know?" the adjutant asked from the side.
"You are stupid. They lost a few guns when they retreated. It means they left in a hurry. Since they have enough firepower, why did they leave in a hurry? It only means that they are afraid that we will attack again with a large army."
Qian Meng was extremely confident in his analysis.
The adjutant on the side showed an expression of sudden realization, gave Qian a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Best regards, sir."
"Haha, you still have to practice."
"The troops were ordered to speed up. The imperial court's support gave their troops few weapons and ammunition, and now they don't have much ammunition."
"Yes! Traveler!"
"By the way, let's report the good news to the commander and say that we have successfully captured Sanlahe. According to the scene, the 14th Regiment does not have much ammunition anymore. Our brigade plans to capture Humeng County in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, Traveler!"
Funing County
Sun Yu had received the news about taking Jining County, and he was so happy.
But when I think about Qian Meng, I feel unhappy.
Just when Sun Yu was about to order the first division to besiege Humeng County, Cai Ren walked in.
"Commander, please pay me back urgently."
Sun Yu took the telegram and started reading it.
"Hahaha, that's right."
"Commander, I always feel that the 14th Regiment is cheating."
"A fraud? What kind of fraud could he have? The telegram said that the 14th Regiment must have run out of ammunition. Do I think this is normal?"
"Cai Ren, what's wrong with you recently? Why are you so cautious? You should pay more attention to rest these days. Su Cheng will take your place as chief of staff first."
"commander……"
"No need to say more, you go down. Before you leave, ask Su Cheng to tell the First Division to withdraw quickly."
"Alas" Cai Ren smiled bitterly and shook his head, saluted and went out.
"What an annoying guy. He always likes to interfere with my decisions..."
After Cai Ren went out, Sun Yu snorted coldly at Cai Ren's back.
