The terrain of Wulan Mountain is complex and looks like a natural hazard to outsiders, but for locals it is easy to get over.
This was something Ding Zhe didn't expect.
Under the leadership of the 10th and 12th brigades, they successfully passed through Wulan Mountain and reached Gongxian County behind Wulan Mountain.
There are not many soldiers here in Gongxian County. Not only here, but even except for the Yulan River defense line, there are not many soldiers.
After the two infantry regiments crossed Wulan Mountain, no troops were found in Gongxian County.
They didn't discover it until the two battalions reached the city, but it was too late.
The two battalions took Gong County without much effort.
Fan Cheng didn't come for this raid, not because he didn't want to, but because he had inconveniences.
The highest commander here this time is Cai Jungang, commander of the 12th Brigade.
After taking Gong County, Cai Jungang immediately asked the communications corps to send a telegram to Fan Cheng, the division headquarters and the headquarters.
"Order the troops to rest in place for half an hour and wait for the arrival of the troops."
"It's the travel seat!"
Tianfu!
"Commander, Cai Jungang has led two infantry regiments to cross Wulan Mountain and capture Gongxian County."
"Okay!" Qin Jinhong laughed.
"How's it going at the Magnolia River?"
"The second position at Yulan River has also been captured. The Second Brigade and the Eleventh Brigade are pursuing it. Now the enemy has held firm in Qingnan Tun."
Qingnan Tun is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our soldiers did not attack rashly because they did not have howitzers.
"This is the effect we want." Qin Jinhong said and looked at the map.
"Order...Cai Jungang leads two infantry regiments to approach the flanks of Qingnantun, but do not attack, wait for the heavy weapons of the 2nd and 11th Brigades to arrive and cover them once, and then encircle!"
"Yes, Commander!" Song Qiu responded.
"And tell the Second Brigade, the Eleventh Brigade and Cai Jungang to coordinate the fight among the three parties."
"yes!"
"Commander, this will be interesting." Xu Zhiyong said with a smile.
"Haha, once Qingnan Tun is defeated, Huang County will be the winner. Once Huang County is defeated, Ning City will be in the bag." Qin Jinhong said with a smile on his face.
"That's right, the Yulan River defense line that Hu Jiajun was proud of was broken in less than six hours. If Hu Hao was so angry, I would be pissed to death." Xu Zhiyong smiled and shook his head.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. We have the absolute advantage in weapons and the physical fitness of the soldiers, while the Hujia army only has the advantage in numbers. The qualitative gap cannot be made up by quantity. This is the reason for our victory."
"That's right, Commander."
"We must ensure the supply of artillery shells and ammunition for the troops."
"Don't worry, Commander, the logistics are good." Xu Zhiyong said with a smile.
"That's good." Qin Jinhong nodded and then looked at Qingnantun.
"Let's watch this battle next!"
"If this battle is successfully completed, then the Hujia Army's effective strength has basically been wiped out, and Qing Province will also be in the bag."
…
Qingnantun.
Qingnan Tun is shaped like a hill. The Hu Jia Army's 50,000-strong army retreated here after being crippled by the Shu Army.
And a temporary defensive position was set up here.
"Chief of Staff, the Shu army has stopped pursuing, we can breathe a sigh of relief." A general said to Ding Zhe.
"What's the use? We have reinforcements and no equipment. What can we do even if we can block the Shu army's attack?" Another general slapped the table and roared angrily.
But Ding Zhe didn't say anything, just stared at the map and thought about the next plan.
"Originally, I thought that by concentrating all the troops, I could withstand the Shu army's attack. Who knew that tens of thousands of troops would be wiped out in a few hours?"
"The Shu army is invincible." Ding Zhe pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Commander, let's fight with the Shu army." A middle-aged general pulled out his gun and shouted.
"Don't fart, I don't know what you mean? You committed all kinds of crimes by burning, killing, looting, and knowing that being captured means death. If I surrender, at least I can still live. I can't let my brother die." A general He waved his hand and strode towards the door.
At this moment, Ding Zhe's face suddenly darkened, he pulled out a gun from his waist and shot him in the back.
"Bang~"
"Disturbing the morale of the military and engaging in military law!"
"Put it off." Ding Zhe didn't take this matter to heart and just waved his hand.
Seeing what Ding Zhe said, the generals who were thinking of surrender did not dare to speak.
"How many more of us are there?"
"There are probably less than 10,000 people left, and some of them are seriously injured and have lost their ability to fight."
"Huh..." Ding Zhe took a long breath and looked at the wooden ceiling.
"Order the supervising team to go to the front line. If anyone retreats, shoot them immediately!" Ding Zhe ordered directly.
Now he can't control so much anymore, and he can be said to be ready to sacrifice.
After the generals went out, they all talked in pairs.
"Old Wang, let's run, this Hu's army is finished."
"I think so too. Seventy thousand people can't last even two days. What's the use of less than ten thousand people?"
"Then what do you think?"
"Let's run."
"Run? How to run? Ding Zhe's supervising team is everywhere and we can't escape."
"I've already thought about it. We'll start a fight later..."
…
The second brigade is stationed at the 11th brigade!
"Where are the artillery shells? Why haven't they come yet? What should I do if the enemy recovers? What does the logistics do?" Wang Bo cursed.
"Old Wang, stop scolding them. We are advancing too fast and the shells are being consumed too much. We can't blame them. Logistics has just sent a message. The first batch of resources will definitely arrive in half an hour." Qin Xiang is behind. smiled.
Reports, headquarters, telegrams. "
"Read it!" Qin Xiang said.
"The Tenth Brigade and the Twelfth Brigade have assembled two infantry regiments that have passed Wulan Mountain to Gongxian County and are advancing towards Qingnantun. Your artillery unit will implement fire suppression on the enemies in Qingnantun. The two infantry regiments will be on your side. After the artillery fire stops, cooperate with your troops to encircle the enemy in Qingnantun." The communications soldier read while holding the telegram.
"Crossed Wulan Mountain?" Wang Bo and Qin Xiang were both a little shocked. Wang Bo took the telegram and read it, and then handed it to Qin Xiang.
"These two infantry regiments are so powerful, they actually crossed Wulan Mountain." Qin Xiang said with a smile.
"It's indeed powerful. Let's wait for the subsequent artillery shells now, order the troops to adjust the muzzles, and launch a bombardment on Qingnan Tun as soon as the artillery shells arrive!"
"Yes, Commander!" Liu Shu saluted.
…
Soon the two infantry regiments quickly arrived at a position three kilometers away from Qingnan Tun.
"Brigadier, Qingnan Tun is ahead." A soldier pointed to the front and said.
Cai Jungang picked up the telescope and looked forward and said: "Let's wait until they fire the cannon before we go up. Let the brothers rest for a while first."
"Yes, traveling seat!" Gan Yi responded.
Not long after they arrived here, the thundering sound of cannons rang out in Qingnan Village in the distance.
