Of course, Cao Yi also got the news about Sun Yu's gathering of troops.
He took the telegram and said angrily: "There are more than 20,000 people, what does Sun Yu want to do?"
As he spoke, he shook the telegram in his hand vigorously.
"Master, I think we should also gather our troops at Lijiazhuang. I think Sun Yu's target is not just Humeng County." Sun Shu said beside him.
"Um"
Cao Yi nodded, he agreed with what Sun Shu said.
"You mobilize the troops immediately and tell the admiral"
"It's the master's seat."
"Master, where is the 14th Regiment..."
"well"
"There is nothing I can do. Now I can only let them resign themselves to their fate."
Cao Yi shook his head. He also felt very sorry for the 14th Regiment.
"Master, have you ever thought about what if the 14th Regiment wins?"
Sun Shu suddenly spit out this sentence.
Cao Yi looked at Sun Shu immediately after hearing his words.
He stared at Sun Shu closely, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Master, don't forget, when the Sichuan Eastern Army dispatched a brigade, we also said that the 14th Regiment could not win, but what was the result?"
"If we really win...there's nothing we can do."
Cao Yi sighed and said.
…
Funing County
Sun Yu has gathered all the mobilizable soldiers and garrisons in the seven counties.
A total of more than 22,000 people.
This time Sun Yu can be said to have gone out in force, and he is bound to win Humeng County.
After some mobilization, Zhao Li and Su Cheng set off.
At this time, the 1st Battalion of the 14th Regiment was in the Sanlahe position.
They have already built a defensive position here and are waiting for the Sichuan Army to arrive.
Artillery battery position.
"Dazhu, how are you?" Sun Dayu came over and said.
"No problem, the cannon has been adjusted. We're just waiting to scare these beasts to death."
"Damn, three hundred rounds of artillery shells are enough for these beasts to drink a pot." Wang Dazhu smiled and looked at the shell box on the truck.
"That's alright. I'll send these three hundred shells to them in a moment."
"Don't worry, everything is ready." Wang Dazhu said confidently.
"I don't know what's going on with the deputy commander."
"How long do you think we can resist?"
"I don't know." Wang Dazhu shook his head and said, "Three thousand to twenty thousand, I'm really not sure."
"Then you have to hold on and wait until the deputy captain and others arrive."
Sun Dayu turned to look at the light and heavy machine guns on the position, and murmured: "Even if I can't do it, I have to let them peel off their skin."
"Battal Commander, Battalion Commander"
At this time a correspondent ran over and shouted.
"Battal Commander, I just received a telegram that the Sichuan Army has arrived at us."
Sun Dayu took the telegram, read it, and said, "It's finally here."
"Ready to fight!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Dazhu, it's up to you!"
"Don't worry!" Wang Dazhu gave Sun Dayu a reassuring look.
"Okay!" Sun Dayu nodded and walked towards the forward position.
"Chief of Staff, we are arriving at Sanlahe soon. Should we send a regiment first?"
"Mr. Zhao, do you know why you are not as good as Hu Zhenfeng?"
"Um?"
"Because you are too cowardly. Don't forget, we now have more than 20,000 people. Although they wiped out one of our brigade, they still occupied the right time and place. This time, even one of us can drown them with a spitting breath."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, chief of staff, you are right." Zhao Li quickly apologized with a smile.
He didn't dare to offend Su Cheng now. He was now a popular person next to the commander.
"But you're right. Let's just send the Second Division directly to press them up. Don't let them have a chance to breathe!"
"Hahaha, the Chief of Staff is tall."
"Come here!" Zhao Li shouted.
"Master's seat." An adjutant ran over and said.
"Send the second division first and press me directly to the gate of Humeng County!"
"Yes, Master."
The order was issued, and a division of the Sichuan Eastern Army with more than 10,000 people began to accelerate their march.
…
Jining County.
"Dong~"
"Dong dong dong..."
"Da da da da~"
"Dong dong dong..."
"Captain, let's ask the commander for help. We can't stand it anymore."
"Asking for help? How to ask for help? Our only transmitter was bombed. We can only defend now. I have sent someone to ask for help." Ding Ping, the leader of the Jining County Defense Regiment, shouted.
"Captain, why don't we surrender? We don't need to fight so hard." An adjutant next to Ding Ping shouted.
"What? Do you know what you are talking about? There are only soldiers who died in battle here, not soldiers who surrendered."
"If you try to shake the morale of the army, I will kill you!" Ding Ping took out his pistol and shouted at the adjutant's head.
"Captain, I will tell you even if you break me."
"Don't you know what the Sichuan Army is like now? Why should we sacrifice our lives for Sun Yu?"
"For his hatred, he made the people complain. Why do we serve as soldiers? Isn't it just to overthrow this corrupt court and let the people live a good life?"
"If Sun Yu really cares about the people, my death would be worth it. But is he? He started the war because of his own hatred and to become king."
"More than 20,000 soldiers were recruited in just one month. How many people hated him. When I went to patrol the city, the people hated us. You know what, Captain?"
"Dong dong dong..."
"Da da da da~"
The sound of gunfire outside continued, making the defenders unable to lift their heads.
"Captain, you know how happy the people of Humeng County are. Besides, we can't stop anything now even if we try our best. Let's surrender. Do you want the rest of our brothers to die?"
The adjutant became more and more excited as he talked, and in the end he even grabbed Ding Ping's shoulders and shook him.
Ding Ping was also stunned by the adjutant's words.
He sat weakly on the ground, his eyes dull.
"Captain, you have to make a decision quickly. If the city is destroyed, we will have no chance."
Ding Ping looked at the pistol in his hand, threw it aside, waved his hand, and said feebly: "Go ahead and surrender."
Hearing Ding Ping relent, the adjutant quickly said: "Captain of the trip, I'll go right away."
The second and third battalions of the 14th Regiment were in position.
The 14th Regiment had been bombarding with mortars since they came to the city.
The MG42 general-purpose machine gun shoots at the enemy's city walls or positions, and only a few of the enemies are hit.
Song Tiance was looking at the Jining city wall with a telescope at this time.
Suddenly he saw a white flag raised on the city wall.
He knew this was a signal to surrender.
"Stop shooting!" Song Tiance raised his hand and shouted.
"Stop shooting!" The mortar flagman quickly signaled to stop shooting.
Then the machine gunner also stopped shooting.
"What's wrong, deputy captain?" Li Sheng asked from behind Song Tiance.
"They raised the white flag." Song Tiance raised his head and said.
"You surrendered, hahaha, you surrendered now?" Li Sheng laughed.
"Shout, ask them to throw their weapons out, hold their heads in their hands and come in two groups, and tell them that we treat the prisoners preferentially, and they will never die as long as they surrender."
"It's the deputy captain!"
Then the messenger picked up the loudspeaker and started shouting.
The garrison in Jining County was also frightened and obeyed the instructions very obediently.
Then Song Tiance and Ding Ping met.
"Ding Ping, Commander of the Jining County Garrison Regiment of the Eastern Sichuan Army" Ding Ping saluted Song Tiance.
"Song Tiance, deputy commander of the 14th Regiment." Song Tiance also returned the salute.
"Deputy Commander Song, we surrender, but I hope you can give these brothers a way out." Ding Ping said.
"Don't worry, Captain Ding. I can promise you this. As long as your hands are not stained with blood on the people, our 14th Regiment will not embarrass you." Song Tiance said seriously.
"That's fine, Commander Song."
"Ma Tianying!"
"Here, deputy commander."
"Send a company to bring them back to Humeng County."
"Yes, deputy commander"
"Captain Ding, I have wronged you first."
Ding Ping waved his hand when he heard what Song Tiance said and said, "There is no grievance. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!"
Originally, there were more than 2,000 people in the Sichuan Eastern Army garrison, but after a round of bombing, they now only have a few hundred people. It is more than enough to send a company of soldiers to transport them.
In this way, Song Tiance captured Jining County without spending a single soldier.
"Tell the brothers to pack up the equipment and leave quickly. We have to get to Huayi Fort quickly. If my calculations are correct, the first battalion should have started fighting with them by now."
"Yes, deputy commander."
Li Sheng and Ma Tianying hurried down to arrange the arrangements.
