Three days later, the new Eighth Army of the Huaxing Army rushed to Zhaotong City, under the personal command of the army commander Liu Kunyi."
Commander, it's all clear.Zhou Shanhu's commander and his 1,566 men were all killed, and the granaries and arsenals in the city were looted.More than 3,000 people were killed or wounded, more than 1,000 women committed suicide, and 300 women were taken captive. ”Xie Zhenwu, the commander of the left division, gave Liu Kun a straight military salute and reported the situation in Zhaotong City to Liu Kunyi."
Has Zhou Shanhu's body been found?"
Liu Kunyi stood on the north city gate, coldly looking at the streets full of ruins and broken walls."
No, Head Zhou and hundreds of brothers were burned alive in the main hall of the Confucius Temple, and the corpses are no longer distinguishable."
Xie Zhenwu replied a little sadly, and his words were choked."
Have the enemy troops investigated clearly, are there any clues" Liu Kunyi was silent for a while, his body trembled slightly, the green tendons on his face were exposed, and his eyebrows were tightly locked."
After finding out, they hid in Wolong Mountain, 90 kilometers north of Zhaotong.In the city, the wife of a hunter was robbed by this group of beasts, and the hunter was very familiar with the terrain of this area, and followed him overnight.According to the last general's opinion, only Tong Ronghai's army can take the thieves of Zhaotong City.The last general found the place where their bodies were buried outside the city, and the military uniforms on their bodies were also dressed as Taiping soldiers. ”Xie Zhenwu carefully analyzed it and had already controlled the hunter."
At the beginning, Zhang Shusheng sent me a military report and asked me to pay attention to this military horse, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late.I alone bear the responsibility for Zhaotong's crimes, and you go down and draw up a military report to report the Zhaotong tragedy to the president for his attention. ”Liu Kunyi gave an order with a serious expression, as the supreme commander stationed in Yunnan, he must take his share of responsibility."
Commander, you can't be blamed for everything in Zhaotong, it's all because Zhang Yuchun retreated too quickly, and we don't even have time to deploy defenses" Xie Zhenwu frowned and dissuaded, after all, this time the matter was too big, and the Huaxing Army was built up, and it has not been wiped out in a group."
Don't say it, Yungui is originally our defense area, no matter what Commander Zhang Yuchun does, no matter what the crime is, I will bear it with all my might."
Liu Kunyi still remembers the scene when he first met Zhou Shanhu, when he was still a simple boy who had just arrived from Shanxi, and he had no strength.Later, he gradually grew into the head of the regiment in the war, but he didn't expect this meeting to be separated by yin and yang.At this time, his heart was full of self-blame, and he secretly scolded himself for taking it lightly and letting Zhou Shanhu defend Zhaotong alone.Nanjing Presidential Compound "Big Shuai, no, something big happened in Zhaotong, Yunnan" Early in the morning, Qiao Zhiqing had just freshened up under Xiaoru's service.Wei Ziyou nervously took the military report from Yunnan and entered the study."
What's the matter with Zhaotong" Qiao Zhiqing wiped his face with a towel, and after telling Xiaoru to step back, he sat down at the desk."
Liu Kun, the commander of the New Eighth Army, played a speech, and Zhaotong City was attacked by unknown rogues.It is still uncertain about the identity of the rogue, but the location has been locked, and the Sichuan Military Region is working with the Sichuan Military Region to encircle and suppress this gang of bandits.The 121st Regiment of the New Eighth Army desperately defended the city and resisted to the last man.More than 3,000 civilians were killed or wounded in the city, and all the supplies in the city were looted. ”Wei Ziyou stated truthfully and handed the military report to Qiao Zhiqing.Qiao Zhiqing took the military report and read it carefully, without showing a trace of expression on his face.After being silent for a while, he finally said to Wei Ziyou, "Send an order to Liu Kunyi, if you find a rogue, kill them all, and don't need to take prisoners." ”"President, Commander Liu Kunyi specially pleaded guilty in the military newspaper, how to reply to this" Wei Ziyou reminded."
Liu Kun made a big mistake, and he communicated with the whole army, and he should take this as a warning, and he must not be careless at any time.If such a thing happens again, it will definitely be severely punished" Qiao Zhiqing frowned and replied, and he also admired Liu Kun in his heart.He can take the initiative to take on this responsibility, which is indeed a bit of a measure.Wolong Mountain, located in the Hengduan Mountains, has the highest point of more than 500 meters.The mountains are steep, the mountains and forests are dense, and it seems that a green dragon is lying on the ground.The Sichuan Military Region also dispatched a division of troops, which was personally commanded by Wu Xuguang, deputy commander of the Military Region.Since the recovery of Sichuan, Luo Bingzhang, who was stationed in Jiangbei, increased his troops by 100,000 to strictly prevent the northern expedition of the Huaxing army.The troops of the Sichuan Military Region were also deployed in the north, and only the left division of the New Tenth Army could be mobilized at this time."
Master Jun, you must rescue the villain's lady, there is still a child waiting to be nursed at home" The army has been assembled at the foot of Wolong Mountain, and Orion has just been brought to Liu Kunyi and Wu Xuguang, and even knelt down for the two of them crying and shouting."
Get up, as long as you bring it to the right place.We will avenge you and bring your lady back safely. ”Liu Kun commanded the Orion, asking him to point out the location of the enemy army on the map."
My lord, here it is.This is Wolong Ridge, and the mountain used to be a Taoist temple. ”Wu Xuming briefly explained the various positions on the map to Orion, and Orion saw the location of the enemy at a glance, and shouted excitedly."
There are several roads up the mountain," Wu Xuming looked intently at the surrounding mountain range."
There is only one road to Wolongling, and it was all opened up by the old Taoist priests."
Orion thought about it for a moment and replied honestly."
That's going to be difficult, they've looted a lot of our arms this time.There are at least dozens of machine guns, and if we block the intersection, we won't have a good time" Liu Kun sighed lightly and frowned at the map."
Commander Liu, this is also a good thing, as long as we lock the intersection, none of the enemy troops can escape.This time, I transferred two mortar battalions of the New Ninth Army and the New Tenth Army, and there were 500 mortars, which were enough to destroy all the obstacles of the enemy army. ”Wu Xuming is confident, and he is very well prepared this time."
Brother Wu was thoughtful, so it was decided.The marshal has already replied, no need to take prisoners, no matter how to kill, this time I will kill our brother and avenge the dead brother" Liu Kunyi looked at the direction of Wolongling with a cold expression, gritted his teeth and shouted bitterly."
Kill, these brutes who have brought disaster to the country and the people.Give them a way to live, but they just go to the road of death" Wu Xuming also reprimanded angrily with a firm expression, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the two divisions to march towards Wolongling.The main attack was carried out by the New Eighth Army, and the New Tenth Army was responsible for the response.Liu Kun first wanted to make meritorious service and wash away his shame.After Tong Ronghai set up camp in Wolongling, dozens of checkpoints were set up on the path in front of the mountain.Each level is defended by thousands of people, and is always equipped with stones, wooden stakes, and looted expeditionary machine guns, and thinks it is impregnable.Drinking and having fun all day long, he lived the fairy life he dreamed of in the cave every night.Among the three coaches, only Peng Dashun is still sober.Every day, he patrolled the mountains and outside the mountains, and practiced the soldiers in marksmanship.Once a person becomes a mountain bandit, the motivation in his heart is gone.As the leader, Tong Ronghai is like this, and the soldiers below will naturally follow suit.The daily drills are also to cope with errands, and when patrolling the mountains, they are also looking for a place to sleep, and go back to report indiscriminately.More than 20,000 Huaxing troops, under the leadership of Orion, climbed several mountains before dark, and finally touched the foot of Wolong Ridge.After dawn, bursts of artillery fire sounded at the foot of the mountain, and Tong Ronghai rolled over from the tiger skin bed."
What's wrong, where is the cannon being fired" Tong Ronghai knew that there was no artillery in his team, and this must not be the gunfire of training soldiers and horses."
Report, big brother, it's not good.Hua Xingjun is knocking on the door," Yu Shilong sweated profusely and entered the room, shouting with a hissing voice."
What, how is this possible, how does Hua Xingjun know that we are in Wolongling" Tong Ronghai's eyes widened in surprise."
Brother doesn't know, this time the Huaxing Army is fierce, big brother quickly find a way to break through" Yu Shilong was about to pee out in panic."
Break out of the fart, go out with me.We can't fight Wolongling casually" Tong Ronghai calmed down, scolded, pulled out the shell gun on his waist and went out.Yu Shilong gathered all the soldiers in the Taoist temple and followed Tong Ronghai to the front line.The two artillery battalions of the Huaxing Army opened the way in front, and at each checkpoint was a battalion of mortar salvos.Rubble was splashed everywhere, and gunsmoke filled the sky.Under the dense artillery fire, all the defensive positions were like papier-mâché.The entire Wolong Ridge shook violently, like the fury of the mountain god.The Huaxing army connected more than a dozen strongholds, and was finally blocked by machine guns on a platform halfway up the mountain.This stronghold is a cave where former Taoist priests practiced, and it was all hollowed out of the mountain.On a platform with a radius of more than 50 meters, five heavy machine guns were arranged.The mortars of the Huaxing Army were set up 300 meters away, and they could not blow up these caves at all.Time passed minute by minute, after the research of Liu Kunyi and Wu Xuguang.In the end, it was decided that Orion would take a company of elites, carrying only shell guns and grenades, and climb up the cliffs on the side of the mountain road.Mortars were still firing volleys at the front, covering the company's soldiers.In the end, the five caves that blocked the front were all blown up by grenades.Since the passage of the Huaxing Army, there has been no such natural danger.The topography of the mountain gradually flattened, with an area of two miles.It is full of thick pines and cypresses, and the Taoist temple is in the middle.Tong Ronghai, Peng Dashun, and Yu Shilong took the last 5,000 soldiers and horses to deploy here.The Huaxing army sacrificed dozens of people to attack the top of the mountain, and all 20,000 people spread out on the top of the mountain, forming a big circle, surrounding more than 5,000 people of Tong Ronghai inside.It is densely wooded and is no longer suitable for firing artillery.It was entirely dependent on the infantry to advance cautiously, and if you were not careful, you would be sniped by the enemy troops hiding behind the trees.The two sides fought fiercely until the night, and Tong Ronghai saw that the general trend had gone.Organized troops and horses to break through several times, but they were all beaten back.On the second day, the day dawned.The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and the fighting between the two sides has reached a white-hot stage, with each person falling for every step forward.The reason why Tong Ronghai's subordinates resisted fiercely was because the Huaxing army did not give them a chance to surrender at all.As long as someone raises their hands to surrender, they will be shot on the spot.When the Scouts saw this situation, they all showed the courage to resist desperately
