When Peng Xianyun saw the confident gaze of the young officer, he immediately liked to say in his heart: "Person Yue Lin, tell me, how should we plan." Yue Lin said first: "The war is imminent, and only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. I want to know the weapons, equipment, personnel quality and other conditions of the 6th Division, so that we can formulate our defensive plan."

Yue Lin is 21 years old this year. He is known as a genius among the third class students of Mudanfeng. This kid has both excellent military theory and excellent military theory level. He usually has many ghost ideas during military training, especially when he likes to practice military arrangements on the sand table, and they are all sets of things. But in the past, they were talking about wars, and things that talk about wars on paper are extremely valuable.

Peng Xianyun pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Sun Lianzhong's 6th Division has very backward weapons, with various weapons of various standards and not many heavy weapons. The commander of the 6th Division is Wang Jiuming, who was born in the former Beiyang Martial Arts Hall. The division has an artillery battalion, which is repeatedly under direct command of the division headquarters, and has about 5 75mm field artillery. The division has always been known for its bravery in combat. Each soldier has a large blade, and close combat and hand-to-hand combat is their specialty. I know this is probably the case."

Yue Lin said: "Let me talk about our favorable situation first. The enemy set out from Tianshui and adopted the long-distance raiding tactic. The advantage is that the soldiers are very fast. We are waiting for work and are very prepared. I looked at the equipment sent from Baoji. There were about 300 heavy machine guns {light machine guns pointing to submachine guns}, and we also have a large number of grenades, which is the advantageous side of our defense."

Yue Lin walked to the map and answered: "One of the disadvantages we have is that the personnel are mixed and have not been properly trained. The Chief of Staff said just now that the enemy's artillery battalion has an artillery battalion, and our personnel quality is probably unstoppable to us. This is the most unfavorable situation for us. I guess the enemy's artillery battalion is heavy because it is heavy equipment. I guess it will take two days apart from the enemy's vanguard to launch an attack to the enemy's artillery battalion to participate in the battle."

Speaking of this, Yue Lin seemed to be more confident and said: "So we need to preset two defensive positions, and the depth of the trench is enough, so digging the trench can save a lot of time. Moreover, the two defensive positions in the front and back must be connected by several trenches. In order to prevent enemy artillery attacks, our first defensive position can retreat to the second position to avoid when the enemy artillery attacks. When the enemy artillery attacks are over, we quickly enter the first position to defend. The purpose of this is to avoid casualties."

Peng Xianyun was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Platform Commander Yue said so well. Now I officially appointed you as the staff officer of the brigade department and participated in the formulation of a defensive plan." Then the military academy students spoke one after another, providing a lot of good suggestions. Peng Xianyun seemed to be more confident after listening. After the military meeting, Peng Xianyun decided that all company-level officers would be the military academy students.

Soon, according to Yue Lin's suggestion, crisscrossing trenches appeared on the west side of Pingtou Town. Although the depth of the trenches was only waist-deep, there was no problem running inside. Yue Lin suggested not to put all his troops into the defensive position. The brigade department should maintain a reserve team. Once a certain position is broken, it can launch a counterattack.

Sure enough, after a regiment of the 6th Division arrived here, it took the lead in launching an attack. The reason was that the leader of the vanguard believed that the group involved in the defense was a group of mobs and did not take it seriously at all. The enemy's vanguard regiment took a short rest and launched a full-line attack. They believed that as long as they charge, the people on the defensive position would run away.

The enemy's swaggering attack did not expect that as soon as it entered the range, the dense rain of bullets quickly knocked them down. The enemy was stunned in the face of a sudden blow, and all the charging soldiers were lying on the ground, whether to advance or retreat. Due to the unclear defense of the position, the regiment commander could not decide whether to continue to launch an attack or retreat.

The two sides confronted each other like this. At the front command post, Yue Lin said to Peng Xianyun: "Chief of Staff, there is only one regiment of the enemy's vanguard, I think it should be hurt because of it." Peng Xianyun admired him very much and said, "Staff Yue, do you have any good suggestions." Yue Lin volunteered to Ying: "Chief of Staff, now is a good time. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's foothold is not stable and the situation is unclear, I will lead people to detour his family from the side, and use gunfire as a call. The Chief of Staff arranged for the troops to attack head-on and launch a counterattack."

In the enemy army headquarters, the commander was angry and said, "How is the fuck this? Isn't it said that the militia defending ahead is the militia? Why is the firepower so strong? It's not that Wang Debiao's cavalry participated in the defense!" The subordinate said, "From the firepower configuration, the opponent is a regular army, but the opponent is not wearing military uniforms, just a group of militias, but they are numerous. I think it's better to withdraw and wait until the large army comes." While the commander was hesitating, fierce gunfire suddenly came from the side.

Before the regiment commander could come back to his senses and figure out what was going on, there were fierce gunfire and yelling at the front. At this time, a subordinate rolled in and ran in and shouted: "Captain, no good! An enemy attacked us from the side, and the enemy defending the front took the opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack. The regiment commander was shocked and ordered to retreat, while he left his troops and fled first.

The most unlucky ones were the charge soldiers. At this time, they were lying on the way to charge and were confronting the defenders. They could not receive the order to retreat immediately. When gunfire suddenly came from behind, the enemy defending suddenly jumped out of the trench and rushed towards them. They were all in a mess. The charge soldiers ran away, and the offensives of both sides were instantly adjusted.

Yue Lin led 300 people to launch a sneak attack on the enemy army from the side, and soon the regiment commander fled first. Yue Lin led his troops to not pursue but turned around to intercept the retreating enemy. It can be said that the army was defeated like a mountain. Although there was no arrangement to pursue the enemy, his brave momentum was still reflected. The qualifier soldiers who had first tasted the results of the battle seemed to be getting more and more brave.

The enemy regiment ran for about ten miles and met the brigade commander who was leading his troops to the road. When he saw the brigade commander in a mess, he was so scared that he didn't dare to advance. After counting the brigade regiment, he lost a battalion's troops. Be good! One charge was reimbursed. The brigade commander thought it was Wang Debiao's large army that had arrived.

This was awesome. The brigade commander immediately ordered the front team to change to the back team to retreat immediately. The 6th Division Commander Wang Jiuming led the main force to rush on the road. When he saw the brigade commander of the brigade who fled in panic and heard the statement of the brigade commander of the brigade regiment, of course, the brigade commander of the brigade regiment naturally had to exaggerate the words in order to shirk responsibility. Wang Jiuming was immediately stunned after hearing the commander's evil statement.

Wang Jiuming knew that Wang Debiao had eaten a cavalry brigade of Zheng Dazhang in one breath, and it was obviously coming to him. The situation was unclear and the situation was critical. When would he not retreat at this time? Wang Jiuming immediately ordered the troops to retreat to Tianshui. It was a funny farce. Peng Xianyun led his troops to be on high alert. Wang Jiuming led the 6th Division to escape towards Tianshui. In fact, Wang Jiuming also gained something. When he arrived at Tianshui, he met Sun Lianzhong who led his troops to come.

Sun Lianzhong was also stunned after hearing Wang Jiuming's report. He knew that Wang Debiao was leading the cavalry to confront Zheng Dazhang and Ma Hongkui's cavalry. Why did more than 10,000 troops appear in Pingtou Town? According to the description of the 6th Division's vanguard regiment commander, I'm afraid that more than 10,000 people will be left. How many troops do Wang Debiao have? No wonder Wang Debiao dared to use troops, it turned out that he was relying on his strength.

Sun Lianzhong did not dare to be negligent and immediately reported the situation to Lu Zhonglin. At this time, Lu Zhonglin was mediating, and how to rescue Feng Yuxiang was shocked when he heard about this situation. While sending someone to report to Feng Yuxiang, he also telegrammed Sun Lianzhong and his troops to temporarily stop the attack, because rescuing Feng Yuxiang's house arrest was his top priority.

At this time, Yang Hucheng had contacted Wang Yizhe, Ji Hongchang and other Northwest Army generals, and jointly reported to Feng Yuxiang and stated the pros and cons, what kind of killing between brothers would inevitably lead to the division of the Northwest Army, what kind of relatives hurt the enemy, etc. There was another reason that made him make a decision. Lu Zhonglin informed that he had secretly contacted Han Fuqu, and Shi Yousan launched an attack on Shanxi to rescue him. The problem was serious, and this was not his original intention, but what he wanted was the situation of jointly defeating Chiang.

Given that Wang Debiao has such strength, if a war breaks out, it will inevitably lead to the hearts of the soldiers. There is no way, he had to call on the telephone and scold Sun Lianzhong, and at the same time pretending to appease Wang Debiao, saying that this was a misunderstanding. Wang Debiao also called back, saying that he had no intention of rebellion, but was just dissatisfied with Sun Lianzhong's actions.

Afterwards, Wang Debiao returned all the captured prisoners and weapons and equipment. In order to express his sincerity, he gave Zheng Dazhang a large amount of food and grass and gave Sun Lianzhong a million ocean to express his apology. Sun Lianzhong was so angry that he was itchy, but he had no choice but to find an opportunity to deal with Wang Debiao in the future, but he never waited for this opportunity.

Sun Lianzhong asked Wang Debiao to give up Long County and let Zheng Dazhang's troops station. Wang Debiao sought Mu Yaping's consent and agreed to Sun Lianzhong's conditions. Sun Lianzhong himself led his troops to do not return to Xining, but instead stationed in Tianshui in a dignified manner. His purpose was self-evident, which was to maintain military pressure on Wang Debiao. Wang Debiao's move attracted Chiang Kai-shek's attention, which was something that he would not express later.

A crisis was resolved, and Mu Yaping, who was far away in Baotou, breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered Wang Debiao to quickly expand the Independent Brigade into an Independent Division and carry out secretly, and not let the outside world know. During the Central Plains War next year, Mu Yaping wanted Wang Debiao's troops to take advantage of the emptiness of Qinghai to seize it, provided that Wang Debiao could not have any more accidents.

Mu Yaping knew that in the next step, Yan Xishan not only lifted Feng Yuxiang's house arrest, but also quickly formed a joint situation to overthrow Jiang. He knew that with Yan Xishan's nature, he would not allow himself to participate in the Central Plains competition. After all, Suiyuan area needs himself. Another variable appeared, that is, the Ningxia area was already controlled by him, and Yan Xishan needed to take on this important task. If Yan Xishan asked him to participate in the Central Plains competition, it would be difficult for Yan Xishan to handle any important task he had to be entrusted.

Wang Debiao's rebelliousness this time made him famous. Through this matter, his relationship with Yang Hucheng was one step closer. In private, Yang Hucheng admired Wang Debiao's courage and dared to act. The two initially reached an ally.
