The Qingnantun position was filled with smoke, and the howitzer attacks continued for ten rounds. The troops of ten thousand people were bombed to pieces.
Cai Jungang, who was in the distance, saw that the artillery fire had stopped and immediately ordered his troops to attack Qingnantun.
On the other side, the Second Brigade and the Eleventh Brigade also launched a general attack directly in front of Qingnantun.
"Chief of Staff, the Shu Army has launched a general offensive." An officer ran into the headquarters and shouted anxiously.
"Huh...what did the commander say?" Ding Zhe turned to ask the communications soldier behind him.
"Chief of Staff, we have sent more than ten telegrams, but there has been no reply." The telegraph operator stood up and shook his head.
At this time, Ding Zhe seemed to have guessed something. He shouted, gritted his teeth, picked up the submachine gun on the table, and left the headquarters.
"Everyone, get to the front line!"
After saying that, he jumped out of the ditch and headed towards the forward position.
"Whoosh~"
"Bang bang bang..."
"Da da da~"
"Brothers, shoot me!!!" Ding Zhe shouted while firing with a submachine gun.
"Chief of Staff, the Shu Army is behind us."
"What?" Ding Zhe looked behind Qingnantun with his eyes widened in shock.
He couldn't care less and ran directly to the back.
When they got to the back and climbed up the mountain, they saw densely packed Shu troops coming towards them at the foot of the mountain.
"They...how did they come? There is at least one regiment here, why is there no news at all!!!" Ding Zhe shouted to the soldiers next to him.
He didn't have many men in his hands now. The frontal position was almost penetrated, and another regiment came from behind.
"Ha...ha...hahahahahaha." Ding Zhe threw the submachine gun aside and lay helplessly on the ground.
He looked at the sky and laughed, his smile was very sad.
"Think of my Hujia Army's 100,000-strong army, which has been wiped out in less than ten days. This is only if we are well prepared and have the advantage of the terrain."
"Commander...the Shu army is invincible!"
"Today, I, Ding Zhe, will stay in Qingnan Tun. I'll stay in... the place where I fought."
Then he took out the pistol from his waist, loaded it, and shot himself in the temple.
"boom"
…
Ding Zhe committed suicide after a gunshot...
…
When the Hujiajun heard that Ding Zhe had committed suicide, they stopped resisting, put down their guns and chose to surrender.
Subsequently, Wang Bo, Qin Xiang, and Cai Jungang, the three brigade commanders of the Shu Army, met successfully in Qingnan Tun.
"Ding Zhe committed suicide, and I thought that old boy Huhao was there too," Qin Xiang said.
"The troops on the Yulan River Defense Line already make up the majority of the Hujia Army. Now that the Yulan River is breached, Qing Province is already in the bag." Wang Bo also said.
"Let's march to Ning City. There probably aren't many troops stationed in Ning City now." Cai Jungang just finished speaking and the communications troops ran over.
"Report, Commander's telegram."
"read!"
"After the three-party meeting, you take a short rest and then launch a march towards Ning City!"
The three of them were all overjoyed after receiving the telegram, which was exactly what they thought.
Although the Second Brigade and the Eleventh Brigade have experienced some reduction in strength, it is not serious and they can still continue the attack, not to mention that they still have two infantry regiments led by Cai Jungang.
An hour later, the Shu army attacked again, and the troops divided into three groups and headed straight for Ning City.
Cai Jungang led one team, Qin Xiang led one team, and Wang Bo led one team.
Ning City Commander's Mansion.
At this time, Hu Hao was sitting on a chair, with several large and small cloth bags beside him.
His face was gloomy, and his fingers kept rubbing, and you could see the uneasiness in his heart.
At this time, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside the door.
"Commander, here is a letter. The Shu army has completely wiped out our army in Qingnan Tun." The soldier looked a little anxious.
The soldier was a close confidant of Hu Hao. Hu Hao personally sent him to get the telegram because he was afraid that others would cause confusion after hearing about it.
Hu Hao seemed to have guessed it. He made a fist, slammed the table hard, and said, "Are you all ready?"
"Get ready Commander, everyone is outside the door."
"Let's go!" Hu Hao said, picking up the cloth bag next to him and walking towards the door.
Hu Hao's cronies were already waiting for him outside the door. Hu Hao came out and got into the car directly and headed towards the city gate.
…
At dawn the next day, three groups of troops broke through four counties and surrounded Ning City in the middle.
In the afternoon, the three groups launched a general attack.
There are basically no troops in Ning City now. When the Shu Army troops arrived, they easily invaded Ning City.
After a search, no trace of Hu Hao was found, only several of her wives, sons and daughters.
When Wang Bo and the others asked, they didn't know anything about it, and their expressions didn't look like they were lying at all.
Eventually they came to a conclusion.
Hu Hao escaped...
Like Zhao Wanfang.
At this point, the Shu army captured the entire Qing Province in nine days.
Tianfu!
"Commander, good news, Ning Cheng was captured, but... Hu Hao ran away." Xu Zhiyong strode into the headquarters and said.
Qin Jinhong raised his head when he heard Xu Zhiyong's words, then lowered his head again, and said lightly, "Didn't the three-way troops block Hu Hao?"
"No, his wife and children don't know when he ran away." Xu Zhiyong shook his head and said.
He was also very depressed because the three armies failed to stop Hu Hao and he escaped.
"Forget it, just run. Order the second brigade to return to defense, the fourth division to garrison Qing Province, and the third division to garrison Digan Prefecture."
"Yes, Commander!"
"After we captured Qing Province, we still have a shortage of soldiers. We will issue a recruitment order immediately!" Qin Jinhong said.
"Yes" Xu Zhiyong saluted.
"We also need to sort out the casualties of the troops and hand them over to me after sorting them out."
"yes!"
Qin Jinhong then said a few words and asked Xu Zhiyong to leave.
Jiutian captured Qing Province, and the news spread across the country instantly.
Jinling!
"Commander, the battle between the Shu Army and the Hu Jia Army is over." He Tianji said.
"So fast?" Xu Dingfang was shocked.
"That's right, Hu Hao ran away and the Shu army captured Qing Province."
"How could it be so fast? It's only been a few days? Are all the people in the Hujia Army steamed buns? After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Hujia Army. How could it be defeated in just a few days?" Xu Dingfang couldn't believe it. Pacing back and forth with hands behind his back.
"Commander, this is the fact. This Shu army has become a state of affairs." He Tianji said.
"That's right, the Shu Army has become a strong force. When we defeat the Northeast Army, the Shu Army will be next." Xu Dingfang sighed.
"How are the preparations of the Fifth Corps and the Sixth Corps?"
"You can attack at any time!" He Tianji said seriously.
"good!"
"Now contact the Northwest Army. Once they send troops, our Jiangnan Army will definitely press forward with the strength of two corps."
"Yes, Commander!"
…
