Chapter 36: The Battle of Shuozhou [2]
"Master!"
A young man wearing a blue military uniform with a colonel military academy hanging on his shoulders stood in front of Han Ling, with a hint of joy on his face.
Next to this colonel, there was a man with the rank of colonel on his shoulders.
These two are Zheng Daxing, the leader of the Fourth Regiment, and Wang Chenggang, the leader of the Fifth Regiment.
Both of them are real humans, not cloned soldiers.
These two men were also farmers, standard farmers a few months ago.
Later, he performed very well in the recruits. After observing them carefully for a period of time, he felt that they belonged to military geniuses.
It can be said to be a grassroots genius type.
Then they reported the two to Han Ling.
Han Ling was a little stunned after receiving the news.
I didn’t expect that I could recruit such people by simply recruiting people in Guisui.
If Han Ling thought about the red color of later generations, he would know.
Most of the generals in the red have studied, and many of them have also come out of military academy or studied in military academy. There is nothing to say about this.
But the team leaders below are like division commanders.
But many of them are from mud legs.
These people have never been to military academy, but where is their talent?
Although he could not command hundreds of thousands or millions of battles.
But they are more than enough for this kind of unit of a regiment, a division, and an army.
However, they also trained the troops for many years at that time.
Zheng Daxing and Wang Chenggang now have this talent, but they still lack training.
Later, Han Ling trained the two of them for a while, and then asked the cloned soldiers to focus on training these two of them.
When the Fourth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment were officially formed, they were appointed by Han Ling as the commanders of the Fourth Regiment and the Fifth Regiment respectively!
"Yeah! This battle was pretty good, but at the beginning, it still didn't show the momentum of our Pingyuan Army.
After you two go down, a summary meeting will be held to gather officers above the company commander.
Let’s summarize my experience together and strive to give me the best performance in the next fight!”
Han Ling looked at the two of them and said.
It is enough that they can fight like this in the first battle.
And they don't train for a long time.
"Yes! Grandmaster!"
"Okay! Stop talking so much, come into the city with me!"
"yes!"
Just now, the Fourth and Fifth Regiments blew open the city gate and rushed in.
The combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army security soldiers inside was really not very good.
In less than an hour after the city was broken, the entire Shanyin County was taken down.
And of course the security soldiers of the Shanxi-Sui Army surrendered.
Wherever the Fourth and Fifth Regiments passed, countless security soldiers raised their weapons.
In this way, Shanyin County was destroyed.
Shanyin County, which Yan Baichuan had high hopes, was taken down like this.
Han Ling and a group of officers began to enter the city.
There was no fierce battle in Shanyin County. Almost all the security soldiers of the Jinsui Army surrendered without firing a single shot.
Therefore, there were no destruction of houses in Shanyin County.
And just a few hours after Han Ling entered the city, it was around 5 p.m.
The 6783 delegation sent a telegram.
Ying County has been conquered.
Now it is already in the hands of Ping Yuanjun.
Han Ling was not surprised by this result.
The combat effectiveness of these security soldiers was too poor to resist the attack of the cloned infantry regiment.
Han Ling felt it was not surprising, but some people felt it was unexpected. Who is this person?
Then it is naturally Yan Baichuan.
Taiyuan, Shanxi
"What did you say? In one day, Shanyin County and Ying County were both captured by Pingyuan Army?"
Yan Baichuan was waiting for a pair of eyes and looked at Zhao Daiwen in front of him.
"Not bad! Shanyin County and influence are now in the hands of Pingyuan Army. I guess they will go south to Shuozhou immediately."
When Zhao Daiwen learned that Pingyuan's army was heading south to Shanyin County and Ying County, he had already guessed that the target of Pingyuan's army was probably Shuozhou.
Otherwise, why should they attack Shanyin County and Ying County?
"Where has Lu Yinglin's 44th Division been? How long will it take to reach Shuozhou?"
Yan Baichuan feels that this year is a bad year.
During the war on the Jinpu line, his Jinsui Army and the Central Army also failed.
Now a small warlord emerged from Suiyuan, but he still couldn't stop it. He felt very upset.
"Lu Yinglin moved a few days ago and entered Shanxi yesterday afternoon.
I guess it will take two days to feel Shuozhou.”
Zhao Daiwen said slowly.
"It will take two more days? It seems that time is a bit urgent!"
Yan Baichuan's brows couldn't help but frown.
In two days, Han Ling's Pingyuan army today captured Shanyin County and Ying County.
He probably won't go south to Shuozhou today.
But tomorrow it is very likely to go south to Shuozhou.
The distance from Shanyin County to Shuozhou City is about forty kilometers.
Even if it is a hiking marching, it will take about half a day to go.
In other words, Pingyuan Army will arrive in Shuozhou around tomorrow afternoon.
Now Shuozhou City only has one battalion of troops.
How can we resist the attack of Pingyuan Army?
If you say that you have at least one regiment of troops, you can still be the Pingyuan Army for one afternoon and ask the 44th Division to speed up the marching speed, and maybe you can arrive when Shuozhou breaks the city.
But the problem is that Shuozhou only has one battalion, so I am afraid that even Pingyuan Army can't stop it.
"Hundred rivers! We can only give up Shuozhou. Which camp in Shuozhou has also been transferred back to Ningwu County.
In addition, I think that just one of Lu Yinglin's 44th Divisions is afraid that he will not be able to defeat Han Ling's Pingyuan Army.
I think we should draw troops from the front line back. And what we are thinking about now is not how to destroy the Pingyuan Army, but how to block the Pingyuan Army.
We only need to block Pingyuan's army. You must know that our enemy is Chiang's army at this time, not Han Ling's Pingyuan's army!"
Zhao Daiwen woke up the dreamer with one word.
Only then did Yan Baichuan realize that he had made a mistake from the beginning.
Since Pingyuan's army cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, it is better to stop him first.
First kill Chiang’s army, then talk about the issue of eliminating Pingyuan’s army. I was almost putting the cart before the horse.
"Second Longgong! Baichuan understands! I will draw a brigade from the front line. Lu Yinglin's 44th Division was divided into two, plus I will draw a brigade from the front line, stationed in three places: Shenchi, Ningwu and Xuejiawa.
Form a triangular formation.
By then, if Han Ling wants to take this place, he may not be able to do it with his tens of thousands of people!"
Yan Baichuan is aware of the terrain of Shanxi.
Now when it comes to defense, he suddenly thought of the triangular terrain here.
Moreover, this is a major road to Shuozhou. As long as it blocks this place, it will be difficult for the Pingyuan army to move south.
It will only be completed unless the Pingyuan army returns again, crosses the mountains from the southeast, and reaches Dai County.
Chapter completed!
