Humong County.
Qin Jinhong, Song Tiance, Xu Zhiyong, Sun Dayu, Li Sheng, Ma Tianying, Hu Zhenfeng, and Bu Nanying were looking at the map in the headquarters.
"I just received news that the four divisions of the imperial army have moved. It seems that the attackers are evil." Qin Jinhong said.
"Good guy, we won't give up until this is destroyed." Song Tiance shouted from the side, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
"The combined gun-holding rate of the 50,000-plus people in the imperial army's four divisions has reached over 70%, of which the 37th Division is the strongest. The 20,000-strong gun-holding rate in the entire division has reached 80%, and Have a certain number of heavy weapons." Xu Zhiyong said calmly.
"According to the investigation, the commander-in-chief of the 38th Division, the 39th Division, and the 40th Division is Zhao Meng, Zhao Wanfang's brother-in-law."
"I once reached the position of commander of the 39th Division by annihilating less than 1,000 bandits with 8,000 men and losing 3,000 men." Bu Nanying said.
"I know Zhao Meng. I fought with him before and he was a loser. I once led less than 5,000 men to chase his 39th Division." Hu Zhenfeng waved his hand and said.
"This time is different. Don't underestimate the enemy. Zhao Wanfang is going out with all his troops this time. He will definitely intervene more." Qin Jinhong looked serious.
"Where are their respective troops now?"
"The Thirty-eighth Division, the Thirty-ninth Division, and the Fortyth Division are very fast. The troops have been assembled and are about to come to us. But what surprises me is the Thirty-seventh Division."
"What?" Qin Jinhong looked up at Bu Nanying, and the rest of the people also looked at him.
"The Thirty-seventh Division is relatively close to us, but they don't seem to be in a hurry, and they seem to want to let us know that they are gathering troops." Bu Nanying said with a frown.
"Could it be that they are very confident and feel that they can definitely defeat us?" Song Tiance asked.
"It's unlikely. Cao Yi is a very stable and capable person. I've fought several times before, and I didn't take any advantage. I was even at a disadvantage. From what I know about him, he won't be so arrogant." Hu Zhenfeng touched his chin and said lightly.
"Sun Dayu!"
"Here!" Sun Dayu quickly turned around and responded when he heard Qin Jinhong calling him.
"Assemble your battalion troops immediately to deploy defenses at Guanjiatun. No matter what Thirty-Seven wants to do, we must prepare first."
"Once the Thirty-Seventh Division is about to attack Guanjiatun, your battalion must be nailed to death there!"
"Yes, commander, our battalion will never let thirty-seven pass Guanjiatun!" Sun Dayu saluted and went down.
"Ma Tianying!"
"arrive!"
"You take the Third Battalion and set off immediately to the location of Luojiabao. This is the only way for their three divisions to pass. You don't need to hold the position, you just need to fight and retreat to Nian Village."
"Li Sheng, Hu Zhenfeng."
"Leader"
"Here! Captain."
"You each take the second and fourth battalions to Lijiazhuang and Sanliugou. When the imperial army arrives, your three battalions must form an encirclement against the imperial army."
"Yes, leader!"
The two of them saluted and went down.
"Captain, what about me?" Song Tiance asked anxiously from the side.
"Why are you in a hurry? Didn't you see that the leader hasn't finished speaking yet?" Xu Zhiyong glared at Song Tiance from the side.
"Song Tiance!" Qin Jinhong shouted.
"Captain!" Song Tiance heard Qin Jinhong calling him. He was about to retort to Xu Zhiyong and stood at attention instantly.
"The armored battalion you formed has been training for so long and it's time to pull it out."
"Hahaha, yes, Commander, my howitzer is already thirsty. Just wait for me to kill these bastards." Song Tiance said with a smile.
"Now you lead the armored battalion and set off immediately. Once the enemy troops arrive at our ambush site, bomb them for a few rounds, and then cooperate with the second, third, and fourth battalions to completely annihilate the imperial army!"
"Yes! Leader!" Song Tian saluted and went out.
Because Qin Jinhong had ordered the entire army to enter a state of combat readiness a few days ago, the troops could be said to have set off immediately.
Baishan Valley.
This is the temporary garrison of the Qin Army.
Why is it called the Conquest of Qin Army?
You have to ask Zhao Meng, the commander-in-chief of the three divisions, for this is the name he came up with.
"Commander, the front is Luojiabao. After Luojiabao is the boundary of Humeng County. Should we send troops to investigate? I feel that they will definitely deploy a force in Luojiabao."
Commander Luo of the 40th Division looked at the map and said.
"Luojiabao is easy to attack but difficult to defend. What will happen even if there are enemy troops? And there is a plain behind them. What kind of ambush can they arrange? Commander Luo, you are too careful." Zhao Meng said disdainfully.
"Commander, I think..."
"Okay, Commander Luo, if you're afraid, then leave the main attack mission of Luojiabao to Commander Feng."
"Ah?" A middle-aged man next to the two of them was a little surprised.
"commander……"
"Mr. Feng, are you afraid?" Zhao Meng glanced at Feng Yi and said.
"How is it possible? I will capture the little Luojiabao for him within three hours." Feng Yi promised with a pat on his chest.
"Then let's wait for Mr. Feng's good news."
At this time, Feng Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. He would just pray that there wouldn't be too much resistance from Luojiabao.
Luojiabao position.
"Have the mortar positions been set up?" Ma Tianying walked to the rear of the position and asked.
"Don't worry, battalion commander, the arrangements have been made and we're just waiting for them to arrive." The commander of the artillery company of the third battalion said with a smile.
"You can fire at most ten rounds in a moment and then retreat quickly. We will cover you." Ma Tianying still warned.
"I understand, battalion commander, you've told me four times."
"It's always good to be careful. You are babies, so nothing can happen to you."
"Just listen to the gunshots and fire in a moment. I'll go to the front first." After saying that, Ma Tianying patted his shoulder and left.
After Ma Tianying left, the artillery company commander yelled: "Each group can only fire up to ten shells, and then retreat after firing them. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone replied in unison.
"How's it going?" Ma Tianying lay down on the front line and started looking through a high-precision telescope.
"Batalion Commander, they are moving."
"Tell brothers to prepare for battle!"
"It's the battalion commander!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Ready to fight……"
"Ready to fight!"
…
At the foot of the mountain, Feng Yi also looked in the direction of the Luojiabao position with a telescope.
"Order the artillery regiment to fire at the Luojiabao position!" Feng Yi ordered.
"Yes, Master!"
"The mortars are deployed..."
"What should I do, battalion commander?"
"There are no large-caliber cannons. Tell the brothers to hide and wait for the enemy to come up before shooting."
"yes!"
After the artillery regiment of the 38th Division deployed its mortars, it began to bombard the Luojiabao position.
Because the Third Battalion had been prepared in advance, the casualties were negligible.
Zhao Meng looked at Luojiabao from behind, who had been bombarding him for nearly twenty minutes, with joy on his face.
Immediately notify the 38th Division to rush forward. Even if anyone is bombarded for such a long time, it is estimated that none of them have been killed.
"Yes, Commander!" The correspondent saluted and ran out.
