"Sima!" Ding Ning and Li Heyi shouted with some surprise. The sharp officer saluted and said, "Sima Kan is one step late, so please forgive Commander Ding and Battalion Commander!"

Li Heyi was the old battalion commander of the border army. Sima Kan was the three company commanders under his command at that time. In a few years, this old subordinate had already reached the position of deputy brigade commander and chief of staff, and was promoted very quickly. Thinking of this, Li Heyi couldn't help but feel proud and said, "Sima, why are you here? Aren't you in Haizhou? You are here, what should you do with the defense in Huaibei?"

Sima Kan smiled and said, "Yes, when I received the news of the rebellion this time, the brigade commander immediately asked me to bring a regiment here. There was a brigade commander in Huaibei, and Li Dingyuan could not take advantage!"

Ding Ning: "That's good! I'll send someone to settle you down immediately. How many troops have you come?"

Sima Kan replied: "This time I came urgently, and I couldn't find so many ships, so the two artillery companies and one infantry battalion of the regiment did not come. I only brought one regiment headquarters company and two infantry battalions, a total of seven companies and one thousand one hundred people."

Ding Ning said: "Okay! This time everyone took the initiative to send troops here. I must be very happy when the division commander comes back. Now a battalion has arrived at the Second Brigade, and the Third Brigade has only one and a half companies to defend Yang Linji. In addition, I brought two artillery companies of the teaching regiment... there are about two more regiments of troops."

Li Heyi also said: "Sima, you are here just in time! But I am worried that there are only two regiments and one battalion in Huaibei, and one tax police regiment in Shanghai, will the strength be a little thin?"

"Battery Commander, don't worry. The battalion commander of Li Dingyuan's troops has many interactions with us. They all said that the old Hubei army will not fight the old Hubei army."

"What's more, the growth of cotton in Haizhou Reclamation Area is indescribable. In addition, the cotton prices have risen this year, and the old brothers of the Reclamation Company are all happy, and the phosphate mines are profitable. So Li Dingyuan came to attack, and our entire brigade said that for these dividends, we must fight for one soldier and one soldier."

Since Liu Jingxiao came to power, because the 17th Division belonged to the guest army, in order to lay a solid foundation and adopted a strategy of light taxes and low taxes, the slight taxes in Shandong were only seen in recent decades. The military pay expenditure of the entire division depends entirely on Huaibei's support. Huaibei's annual entry can be said to be the lifeline of the entire division, so the 17th Division would rather offend Li Dingyuan than occupy the land of Huaibei.

"The benefits of boiling the sea are more important than the southeast, and the two Huai Rivers are the best, so we must be careful. Sima, send me a telegram to inform your brigade commander, and I will add three cavalry companies from southern Shandong."

"Thank you, Commander Ding!"

"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Lin Yichen urged loudly, and several elders cast a complimentary look. Lin Yichen had fully demonstrated his command ability during the march. These elders were considering whether to recommend Lin Yichen's position as the head of the family.

The long team formed a mixed stream of people. The troops led by Lin Yichen were the most highly anticipated of the three troops sent by the four major officials of Jiaodong. Several elders even personally suppressed the formation, and their target was Dengzhou.

Although this unit was temporarily formed, many soldiers were farmers two days ago, and Lin Yichen had no idea how much combat power these new recruits could exert. However, Lin Yichen was absolutely confident in his first regiment. This regiment is the most powerful, best-trained and most well-equipped regiment among the twelve regiments of the Jiaodong Self-Defense Regiment with the most powerful force, the best-trained and the most well-equipped regiment. The combat power of the Seventh regiment is also first-class in the Jiaodong Self-Defense Army. Only the Ninth Regiment is slightly weaker, and the new recruits in this regiment are more than 60%.

He glanced at his epaulette, and there were envious eyes everywhere. Those were two generals (although this was a temporary promotion of lieutenant general, and the temporary rank was not recognized by the general's office, and Lin Yichen's official rank was still lieutenant colonel)... Jiaodong Self-Defense Army... No, Lin Yichen, the current Lieutenant General of the First Division of the Jiaodong Anti-Rebellion Army, was very satisfied. The three regiments under his command exceeded 9,000, and the Liu army trapped in Dengzhou was less than 2,000. It was not a question of how to win, but how to win quickly.

According to the plan jointly formulated by the four major forces in advance, three armies swept across the counties of Jiaodong, and then joined forces to divide the four armies into Jinan. At the same time, Li Dingyuan's troops attacked Huaibei from Huainan, Yang Linyi supported him in Henan, and the Zhi army marched south from Hebei along the Jinpu Road. The 17th Division, which had only more than 30,000, could not resist the huge flow of hundreds of thousands of troops. The four generals joined forces to expel Liu Jingxiao, who was behind the times, from Shandong.

Shandong will be the world of the four of us in the future. Qiaozhi, I must marry you with the most luxurious wedding!

"Bang!" A gunshot broke Lin Yichen's dream. Lin Yichen looked up and saw six rows of long khaki figures appearing on the mountains on both sides. The front of the team was waving an orange battle flag, and the enemy army!

"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" The avant-garde scout shouted, and Lin Yichen quickly pulled out his pistol and shouted: "Prepare for battle..."

But the other party did not give the Self-Defense Force a chance to react. A dense sound of gunfire sounded, and countless blood splashed out by the Lin family's children in the front row, causing considerable serious casualties.

With a loud "bang", Lin Yichen shot into the sky and shouted: "Fire!"

The officers rushed to organize a counterattack, but the results were not good. Some soldiers hid on the ground with their heads in their arms. Liu Jingxiao's dense rogue of guns was like rain, helping the god of death to reap cheap lives.

Even the veterans of the First Regiment took off the rifle from their backs, took out the bullets, bite the paper packaging, took out the entire strip to load the bullets, and then raised the gun to fire... and the enemy has fired nearly ten rounds. As for the temporary newcomers? Just from the battlefield, people running and jumping around, they know their "superior" performance, and even disrupted many old troops.

"Liu Jingxiao's troops are known for their gun roping. They are as dense as rain. The infantry is well-trained and can shoot up to six rounds per minute..."

Lin Yichen and the officers of the Self-Defense Army have always thought that the words about the 17th Division were bragging about how the rifle fire rate could reach six rounds? Even in their most elite first battalion, the rifle continued to fire only about two minutes per minute... But today, under the gun of the enemy, I realized the terror of the 17th Division's gun queuing. The enemy's bullet speed was probably not six rounds, but probably eight rounds, no, ten rounds...

But there was no time for him to sigh. He used his right hand to slam the command knife, waved it suddenly, and shouted: "First Battalion! Attack!"

"First Battalion! Attack!" The officers and soldiers of the first battalion responded loudly. This battalion was the elite of the full self-defense army. There were nearly a thousand people in the entire battalion. Although more than 200 casualties were killed or killed in the enemy's assault, the system was still intact and the morale could be maintained.

Lin Yichen personally escorted the formation behind the formation, and the three straight lines of formation were not afraid to attack the enemy.

Under the shooting of the enemy, although the casualties were greater than those of the enemy, through the heavy smoke of gunpowder, the enemy's array fell from time to time...

The distance between the two sides was quickly shortened, and the first battalion was about to attack the top of the mountain soon, so you can see the other party's expression clearly!

"Fire!" After the dense gunfire, the painful moans in the enemy were like fairy music for Lin Yichen, shouting: "Get the bayonet", prepare to fight with the enemy, at least let the troops break out, but the goddess of victory did not give Lin Yichen a chance.
