Section 5 Counterattack (5)

The situation on the front line made Zhuang Jihua proud on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was deeply worried. Wang Guobin was attacking. He used two regiments of nearly 4,000 troops to defeat An Enpu and his two brigades, but he was worried that Wang Guobin's strength would be exhausted. In addition to Wang Guobin, Zhang Lihui was also full of dangers. The strength of a regiment of 1,800 people was struggling to support the enemy's two sides. This tight string might break at any time. However, Situ Fei's telegram now allowed him to see a glimmer of dawn. Situ Fei's position could only reach the battlefield in one day.

"Appoint Situ Fei to penetrate Nodaguchi immediately and tell them not to be afraid of fatigue, not to be afraid of falling behind, and not to care about the follow-up troops. It is a victory to arrive at Nodaguchi!" Zhuang Jihua paused and said angrily: "Tele to Lan Fubo (Phase I of Huangpu, Lan Yundong, whose courtesy name is Fubo) Hu Guangxiang (formerly Volunteer Army, nicknamed Sweeping Tiger) to speed up!"

"Fu Bo and the others have tried their best, they are far away." Du Yuming advised, and then suggested: "Look, can you transfer Chen Guangzao's troops?"

Zhuang Jihua hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head: "Forget it, this army is no longer worth fighting. If they go up and smash it, it will affect other troops."

The news that reinforcements were about to arrive made Zhang Lihui and Wang Guobin, who were fighting on the front line, boosted the morale. Compared with Wang Guobin, Zhang Lihui's situation was even more dangerous. An Enpu gathered his last force to attack him. Long Yucang, the third brigade attacking him from the south, was forced to make a cruel decision by Sun Du and Long Yun. Regardless of casualties, the soldiers were driven to attack desperately. Zhang Lihui gritted his teeth and fought to the death, and insisted on resolutely, but he still could not stop the attack of An Enpu and Long Yucang, and was forced to give up two positions. The entire regiment gathered near Nodaguchi, blocking An Enpu's retreat.

After receiving the order, Situ Fei felt a little distressed. Most of the soldiers in the guard team were recruits who had been in the army for only half a year. Although these young soldiers were highly morale, they had just joined the army for a short time. After all, five thousand people were said to be the vanguard from Yibin, but in fact they were ambushed. These five thousand people were not left behind, and the five thousand people were the most capable of leaving.

However, he also understood that if the situation in Nodaguchi was not really dangerous, Zhuang Jihua would not have issued such an order. He put down the telegram and ordered him to set off and lead the troops to force the troops to penetrate Nodaguchi.

The troops were moving forward rapidly in the mountains and fields. The soldiers panted and staggered to chase the footsteps in front, "I... can't move anymore. Squad leader." A young soldier carried a gun, and the figure in front turned around and grabbed his guns. He said hurriedly: "Come on, don't fall behind."

Officers at all levels tried hard to encourage the soldiers, but many soldiers were still behind. After a quick time, the order for rest was sent from the front. The soldiers did not choose a place at all and sat on the ground.

"This won't work," Chief of Staff Zeng Feipeng found Situ Fei: "If you can't even go to Nodaguchi like this, you can't join the battle."

"No matter what, it will be a victory to reach Nodaguchi." Situ Fei's face was heavy. He didn't know the price of such a marching force. But there was nothing he could do.

"You take people away and finally take over the soldiers. But." Situ Fei changed his tone: "It's time to dawn tomorrow. You must rush to Nodaguchi."

Ten minutes later, Situ Fei ordered the advancement to continue and the troops advanced again.

When the sunset was burning, Zhang Lihui knew that he had survived another day. This day was really a difficult day. The guards were all involved in the battle today. In the end, the commanders of the guards all went to the front line to supervise the battle. Zhang Lihui also picked up his gun and walked to the front line. He chose to be the most dangerous wild boar slope.

Wild Boar Slope is the breakthrough point where Long Yucang chose. If he conquered the Wild Boar Slope and crossed a ridge, he would meet with An Enpu's troops. Long Yucang launched eight attacks on Wild Boar Slope. The troops guarding the Wild Boar Slope went from one company to two companies to two and a half companies. In the end, Zhang Lihui personally led the guard platoon to reinforce and then attacked the Yunnan army rushing into the position.

An Enpu was angry. The two sides were only three or four miles apart. The gunshots on the opposite side were clearly heard. The flags of the Yunnan military in the telescope were clearly visible. But no matter how they hit it, the stubborn stone in the middle could not be moved. He believed that Long Yucang was not doing his best. He sent a telegram to Long Yun and Sun Du to scold Long Yucang for not saving him when he was dead.

Long Yucang was angry and scolded Long Yundi, and he couldn't help but complain. He lost more than 1,500 people in one day just today. The tragic casualties made the soldiers afraid of the attack. The morale aroused by the ocean quickly stepped down. He had never seen such a tenacious enemy. Even if there were only a few people left on the position, he was still resisting tenaciously.

The sky gradually became darker, and the attack of the Yunnan Army completely stopped. The darkness was more beneficial to the guards. Zhang Lihui quickly used it and adjusted the deployment. However, he didn't know that a long-standing army was coming sixty miles away.

It was already deep in the night. Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming were anxiously waiting for Situ Fei's news in the command center. Lan Yundong sent a telegram. Because the road from Xichang to Ya'an was interrupted, he was leading his troops to Xichang on foot and would not arrive tomorrow afternoon. Now all hope is on Situ Fei.

"Report, telegram." The staff officer came in to report.

"Situ Fei's? Is he here?" Zhuang Jihua rushed to the staff officer and asked.

"No, it's Song Yunfei's telegram."

Zhuang Jihua received the telegram with some disappointment. Song Yunfei said in the telegram that he had led his troops into the Huili War Zone. He met Deng Xiuting who had withdrawn from Lixi in the south of Longjiao Mountain. After retreating from Yunnan, Deng Xiuting did not retreat to Huili, but retreated to Lixi's own territory. Unexpectedly, the Yunnan Army did not plan to let Lixi go. A whole brigade rushed to his home with the Yi armed forces of the Jin family. Deng Xiuting ran while fighting, but the guards at his home resisted resolutely, protecting the work team and the Yi people who were his own retreat. In the end, all of them were killed in battle. The work teams that fled into the mountains were caught up by the Jin family because of their slow movements and were all captured.

Deng Xiuting walked around the mountains for a few days, the Dian Army in Jinjiahe began to retreat. Deng Xiuting also found a gap to break out of Lixi River, retreated northward, avoiding the search of the Dian Army along the way, wandering in the daytime and quietly touching Longjiao Mountain. Unexpectedly, he met Song Yun here.

Song Yunfei asked him to find out the situation. Deng Xiuting told him that his Yi soldiers were wearing makeup and reconnaissance and found that the Dahua Bridge in the southwest of Huili was closely guarded. It was probably a senior command center of the Yunnan military and local governments. He suggested that Song Yunfei bypass the Dahua Bridge to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Deng Xiuting's words attracted Song Yunfei's attention. He carefully inquired about the situation of Dahua Bridge. Deng Xiuting told him that he was not very clear, but his brother reported to him that everyone entering and leaving here was riding horses, and there were frequent visits. There were guards in front of and behind the villages, and there were many cavalry and horse teams patrolling along the way, which was difficult to get close.

Song Yunfei thought in his mind that Deng Xiuting's judgment was good, and that there was at least a brigade-level command center. He immediately sent a telegram to Zhuang Jihua, asking to attack Dahua Bridge first and then carry out the task of cutting off the Sundu transportation line to the south.

After receiving the telegram, Zhuang Jihua called back to agree and told him that he would lift his mission of cutting off the transportation line. The special forces' operations on the Huili battlefield were decided by him. It was recommended that they remain on the front line between Huili and Jiaopingdu, and that communication with the command must be kept open so that the command can keep their whereabouts at any time.

Song Yunfei was overjoyed when he received the telegram. He felt like he was being loosened. In his opinion, it was too pediatric for his more than 200 special forces to cut off transportation. Didn’t Zhuang Jihua often say that special forces were just sharp knives that stabbed the enemy’s heart? It was useless to cut off transportation. They should be asked to attack Sun Du’s command center, or to go to Kunming to attack Long Yun’s provincial government.

Song Yunfei put down the telegram and started working for Deng Xiuting. He told Deng Xiuting that there had been a turning point in Huili's battlefield. An Enpu was surrounded by our army. At present, Sun Du was desperately helping An Enpu to rescue An Enpu. The main force of our army was rushing to Huili day and night, and he could only hold on for another three or two days. Once the main force arrived, the destruction of Sun Du's entire army was in the hands of his hands. He hoped that Deng Xiuting would stay and work with him.

"Brother Deng, this is a huge profit. After the battle, you may be the one who manages the Yi people in northern Yunnan and Daliangshan areas." Song Yunfei has now fully learned Zhuang Jihua's trick, and he uses practical interests to lure these practical people.

Deng Xiuting thought silently for a while when he heard this, he knew that he would have great benefits after fighting at this time, but he also measured Song Yunfei's strength in his heart.

When he first saw this unit, he was very surprised. The equipment was so strange. From soldiers to officers, they were all automatic firearms, and they were equipped with mortars and radio stations. There were also several soldiers who were holding very strange rifles. He had never seen such rifles before. It seemed that this unit was definitely not simple. After reaching this conclusion, Deng Xiuting immediately nodded and agreed.

So Song Yunfei and Deng Xiuting immediately joined forces and moved to Dahua Bridge in the southwest of Huili overnight.

Deng Xiuting was right. Dahuaqiao does have a Yunnan Army command, but this is not a brigade-level command, but Sun Du's general command.

Song Yunfei and his friends moved to a place ten miles outside the village at around 1:00 a.m., covered by rain. Song Yunfei and Deng Xiuting quietly discussed on the simple map with the faint flashlight.

"….. I led the second team into the front, Zhao Hanjie led the third team into the end of the village, Guo Yaoshi led the first team into the flank, Brother Deng, your troops occupied the small hill at the west end of the village and blocked the enemy's reinforcements. Hua Yuanliang commanded the artillery and followed me. The operation started at three o'clock in the morning. Pharmacist, Hanjie, pay attention to the enemy's secret whistle when entering."

In the darkness, the large group of people began to disperse. Song Yunfei led a team to move quietly to the entrance of the village. Under the moonlight, the sentry at the entrance of the village were slowly swaying with guns. Song Yunfei lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was only 2:30. He waved his hand and signaled that the team members bent down and put the action on the ground. It was still half an hour before the action began.
