"Military seat, something serious has happened!"
At this time, another adjutant ran into the headquarters and came to Sun Yuanhe and said, "According to the information obtained by the sent reconnaissance company, the headquarters of the 77th Infantry Division and the headquarters of the 78th Infantry Division were all destroyed. Now only There is a pile of ruins, and along the way, the reconnaissance company discovered that soldiers from an army are marching towards the location of our military headquarters and will arrive tomorrow morning!"
"Damn it!"
Sun Yuanhe sat weakly on the chair, stroking his pocket with his right hand trembling slightly, then took out a pack of Feiying cigarettes, quickly lit one, and took a deep breath.
He blew out the smoke, then calmed down and said, "If you ask for help from the headquarters, just say that all the soldiers of the 89th Army and the garrison headquarters fought hard. Due to the disparity in strength, more than half were lost. Please ask the headquarters to send troops quickly to ask for help."
"Yes, military seat."
The adjutant quickly ran out of the headquarters and prepared to ask for help from the headquarters.
The general staff officer of the 89th Army did not leave, because he knew that even if he asked the headquarters for help, the support troops would not be able to arrive, and they would not be able to insist on the arrival of reinforcements.
"Old Sun!"
The general staff officer looked at Sun Yuanhe and said, "Now we only have one infantry regiment in Haicheng, plus one guard company and one artillery battalion. The total strength does not exceed 5,000. If we want to resist the attack of the garrison headquarters, it will be very difficult." It’s difficult!”
"Even if the headquarters wants to send troops to help, there are only two armies in Xichang Province in the surrounding area. And if you want to rush to our Haicheng to rescue, it will take us three to five days!"
"Why!"
Sun Yuanhe sighed and said, "We have no choice but to resist to the end. Otherwise, the court will not let us go or let our family members in Kyoto go."
"I didn't expect," Sun Yuanhe continued, "that the Su family could send 100,000 troops to our Fuxia Province when facing the Huang Baixiang Corps of the Southern Route Army, and quietly killed nearly two infantry divisions under my command. , What a good method!"
When Sun Yuanhe praised Su Yu's good methods, Su Yu was leading his troops through Fuxia Province and towards Guangyuan Province.
Meishan Avenue.
Soldiers from the two infantry corps of the Garrison Headquarters formed two long queues, covering Meishan Avenue, with no end visible at a glance. They held white-flour steamed buns in their hands and were marching in a hurry.
In an open-air jeep, Su Yu sat in the passenger seat and listened to the battle reports compiled from the front line.
"commander."
Zhang Hu took the telegram and said, "The second step of the plan has been completed. The troops stationed in various places under the 89th Army have been wiped out. Among them, 5,880 people were captured and prisoners, and about 8,000 people from the new imperial army were killed, because many people were blown up by artillery fire. It was impossible to count the bodies and bones, but our army was injured 719 people, 130 people died, and the battle loss was 17:1."
“In addition,” Zhang Hu continued, “we seized more than 9,300 new rifles, 23 light machine guns, 380,000 bullets, more than 8,000 grenades, 590,000 silver dollars, 17 kilograms of small and large croakers, and 350,000 grains. catty."
"17:1."
Su Yu was very surprised to hear this battle damage ratio.
Although the firepower and quality of the soldiers of the garrison commander are much stronger than those of the new army of the imperial court, there are more than half of the new soldiers in the garrison headquarters. He should have thought that he would have to pay a high price to win the 89th Army, but now it seems that it is He guessed wrong.
"Deputy Commander Liao also said in the telegram," Zhang Hu continued, "that he interrogated the captured prisoners and learned that the new imperial army was divided into the first batch and the second batch. The first batch was composed of The Loyalty Army under Marshal Zeng was expanded, with a strength of 1.1 million. It took one year of training to form the current new army. As for the second batch, it was adapted from the Imperial Guards. Although it went through half a year of special training, its combat power was third-rate and internally Severe corrosion.”
"At present, in addition to the New Army, the imperial court also has a mighty army of 500,000 men, responsible for guarding the imperial city. Its combat strength is inferior. Deputy Commander Liao also said that the first 40 armies of the New Army all belong to Zhongyi's command. Formed from the Army, its combat power is quite extraordinary and should be taken seriously when encountered. As for other sequences, such as the 89th Army, they are all adapted from the Guards and have average combat power."
"No wonder!"
Su Yu shook his head and said, "I asked, why is this new army so vulnerable? It turns out there are still these ways in it."
"In that case," Su Yu looked at Zhang Hu and said, "there is no need for the First Army to encircle and suppress Haicheng where the 89th Army is stationed. We will take a day's journey and rush to Haicheng to join the First Army, and then we can easily Take away the headquarters of the 89th Army, and then all soldiers go straight to Quang Nguyen Province."
"clear."
Zhang Hu nodded and responded, "I'll go deliver the order right away."
...
May 14th, 2pm.
Su Yu led a large force and Liao Yuanliang's First Army gathered in Dehua County and began a rapid march towards Haicheng, Fu City, striving to destroy the remaining troops of the 89th Army as quickly as possible.
"Yuan Liang, how do you feel about this first battle?"
Su Yu asked Liao Yuanliang.
"The imperial court is still the same imperial court. No matter how much it changes, things in the heart cannot change." Liao Yuanliang looked at Su Yu and said, "If we want Daxia to stand up, we can only overthrow this decadent dynasty."
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, Su Yu said with a smile, "It seems that our Deputy Commander Liao has learned a lot from this one battle!"
"No, but Deputy Commander Liao is telling the truth," Guo Dahai continued, "This empire is rotten to the core and must be overthrown and rebuilt."
"Isn't that what we are doing now?"
Su Yu looked at the three people in front of him and said, "The civil war has broken out. If we want to end it, either we will perish or the imperial court will perish!"
"Okay," Su Yu said after thinking, "Haicheng, the city has high walls and thick walls. How can we destroy the 89th Army hiding in the city as quickly as possible?"
"It's very simple."
Guo Dahai looked at Su Yu and said, "Commander has transferred all the troops to Haicheng. I think you should have thought of the strategy, which is to gather all the firepower to blast away this huge city."
"The one who understands me is Guo Dahai."
Su Yu said with a smile, "Assemble three heavy artillery regiments and give me life-threatening bombing. No matter how thick the city wall is, it can't stop the continuous bombing of 122mm howitzers."
"Commander, I will take command of this battle."
Wang Wu asked for the battle and said, "I am from the artillery department and have sufficient experience in how to command artillery troops."
"Leave it to your 2nd Army," Su Yu looked at Wang Wu and said, "We will arrive at Haicheng at three o'clock in the afternoon. I only give you 5 hours. Within 5 hours, we must capture Haicheng and destroy the imperial court's 89th Army. .”
"Make sure to complete the mission."
Wang Wu patted his chest and said, "Three heavy artillery regiments, plus an army of troops. If we can't take Haicheng in 5 hours, I will just go home and raise pigs."
