The second-line security force, composed of about 10,000 new soldiers, faced off against more than 60,000 Qing troops. Heiyunlong couldn't imagine what the result would be.
Anyway, according to the predictions of the headquarters, it will definitely be very tragic.
This is also the main reason why the security forces are placed on the second line.
But the situation is already like this. If the 24th Division does not take the lead and allows the Qing army led by Azig to rush into the Fen River Valley, it will bring unpredictable consequences to the entire war.
Heiyunlong knew that his decision was a bit cruel and many people would oppose it. But for the sake of the overall situation, he decided to persuade his colleagues.
However, what he didn't expect was that just after he made up his mind, the rest of the people started getting busy.
"There are three roads from Daning to the Fen River Valley. One is from Pu County in front of us, one is through the Dongchuan River Valley, and the other is through Xi County and through Shikou. It is impossible for our division alone to take the All three passages are guarded and friendly forces must be contacted immediately."
Deputy division commander Luo Shengwei listed the battlefield conditions in a short period of time.
"you……"
Hei Yunlong looked in shock and saw that everyone's expressions were as usual. It seemed as if his determination just now was as simple as going on a trip.
"Haha, you are not afraid of me, division commander, so what are we afraid of? Besides, we are all soldiers, how can we not compare with their field troops? I don't believe it. If they can do it on the battlefield, we can do it too. "
Chief of Staff Lu Zhenwei's loud voice spoke to everyone's heart.
"That's right. Why did we become a second-line force just because we arrived late, and they are the main force? Didn't you see that the nostrils of those field troops were raised to the sky? We also have to fight hard. Fight, let them understand clearly that we are no worse than them."
Military administration should have played a role in appeasing the entire army, but Cao Bixuan was more warlike than ordinary soldiers.
Heiyunlong understood.
These people in front of me all have the heart to make achievements, and no one is willing to live in mediocrity.
The opportunity is in front of them today, they will only be happy, how can they be afraid?
With such comrades in arms, what should the Qing army fear?
"Okay! Since everyone dares to challenge us, our 24th Division will fight with great glory. Let His Majesty, the General Headquarters, and the Cluster Headquarters take a good look at us. We are also members of the Imperial Army."
Everyone cheered loudly, and their blood was boiling.
Heiyunlong received the support of everyone and quickly entered the state.
He immediately sent messengers to convey the situation to the 25th Division stationed in Huozhou and the 26th Division in Xiaoyi, and informed the 24th Division of its combat intentions.
The combat order was quickly conveyed, and the 24th Division, which was originally in a loose state, quickly completed its assembly. Apart from carrying the necessary combat supplies, he didn't care about anything and started marching towards Pu County.
They needed to reach the Xinchuan coast before the Qing army and establish a defense line here.
Xinchuan turns here, and there is a river crossing the Luliang Mountains to the north, and there is also a land route directly to Linfen. Only by guarding this place can we prevent the Qing army from seizing the road and leaving.
Almost on the same day, after receiving the intelligence, the 25th Division stationed in Huozhou chose the same approach as the 24th Division.
After gathering, the entire division rushed into the Luliang Mountains and began to establish a defense line where the Dongchuan River bifurcated.
The 26th Division received the latest information.
Division commander Gu Zhiqi sensed the seriousness of the situation.
He felt that if Azig really wanted to rush into the Fen River Valley, he would probably bear the brunt along the way.
However, the place where we were stationed at 26:00 was the farthest away, so it was very likely that we would be too late.
While he sent people to quickly deliver a message to the Sixth Division, he personally led a regiment to set off lightly and headed straight for Shikou.
There are only less than 2,000 people in a regiment of the security division. It will undoubtedly be more difficult to stop tens of thousands of Qing troops.
But Gu Zhiqi never looked back.
He was like this, and everyone in the 26th Division was determined to die.
After he led the vanguard group to set off, deputy division commander Zhang Sanming
The main force was coordinated at a fast speed and transported forward batch by batch.
The strategy of the 26th Division is that whichever unit arrives at the predetermined battlefield first will go into battle first.
There is no retreat at all. Even if there is only one soldier left, we must hold our position until the follow-up troops are deployed.
No matter who the follow-up troops arrive, they do not need to obey orders and go directly into battle.
Even if the entire division was killed, the Qing army would never be allowed to rush through Shikou.
They want to give the main force on the northern front time to completely annihilate Duduo.
It's good to delay every minute.
When Jian Zongan walked to Yikouzhai, he received news of a fire in the backyard and learned the response plan of the three security divisions.
This made his eyes bloodshot and he was even more moved.
"Tell the soldiers that behind us, our three security division comrades are buying us time with their lives. If we delay a little longer, they will pay greater sacrifices. Abandon fatigue, speed up, and destroy Dodo first. Destroy Azig again."
[In view of the general environment,
Soon, the situation was reported to all the soldiers who were marching.
Hearing that the friendly troops in the rear were fighting desperately, everyone in the Sixth Division transformed into wolves.
They began to quicken their pace and headed straight north, never letting down the opportunity that the friendly forces had fought for them.
Although the three security divisions on the southern line are far apart, they have exerted their subjective initiative and established continuous communication channels with each other.
"Tell the 25th Division and the 26th Division that no matter who encounters the Qing army, they must send a message immediately. We will never watch and let them fight alone."
Hei Yunlong stood on the shore of Xinchuan, staring at the progress of his troops' fortifications, while still caring about the situation of friendly forces.
Since it is difficult for one security division to defeat the Qing army, what about three security divisions?
No matter how powerful the tiger is, it can't stop a pack of wolves, let alone the geographical advantage they have.
Jian Zongan thought about annihilating Duduo quickly, and then turned around and came back for reinforcements. But what the three security guards wanted to do was to compete with Azig on their own strength.
Even if Azig cannot be completely eliminated, this Qing army must be completely defeated and lose its combat effectiveness.
The journey from Xiaoyi to Shikou is more than three hundred miles, and half of it is a rugged and difficult mountain road. However, the soldiers of the 13th Regiment led by Gu Zhiqi arrived in only two nights and one day.
When his feet really stood on the soil of Shikou, endless fatigue swept through his body.
Even though they knew their bodies were at their limit, the soldiers of the 13th Regiment still supported themselves and began to collect supplies to establish a defensive front at the mouth of the valley.
The follow-up troops did not know when they would arrive. They had to drag their bodies to the limit and fight to the death with the Qing army that could arrive at any time.
Just three hours after the 13th Regiment arrived at Shikou, the Qing cavalry rushed into the valley.
Seeing that there were actually national defense troops here, the Qing army was really startled and quickly retreated slowly.
Another hour passed, and the road in the distance was filled with smoke and dust, and flags were like clouds.
Azig, here we come!
