When the telegram arrived in Dechang, it was already early the next morning. Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming and Yang Yongtai were still discussing specific details in the command center. In their opinion, the most difficult thing now is how to stick Sun Du north of the Jinsha River for at least ten days.

Fan Hanjie had three brigades of troops, but according to his reaction, only he and Liu Yuantang brigade could fight. Yang Sheng's martial brigade had poor combat power, and his defense was barely available, so the offense was absolutely not good.

Sun Du has six brigades in his hands, one of which guards the ferry crossing and the major transportation route south of Huili. Two of the other five brigades have nearly 4,000 regiments commanded by Wang Guobin, who fought back from Baolin Mountain. The remaining four brigades have great advantages in terms of military strength, but in terms of combat effectiveness, he only has a slight advantage. The combat effectiveness of one brigade of the guard team is equivalent to his three brigades. Liu Yuantang and Yang Shengwu are weaker to his three brigades. When the two armies are fighting, it is relatively easier for the advantageous side to get rid of the disadvantaged side.

"I think there is only one way to blow up the ferry bridge at the ferry." Du Yuming said at last: "Severely cut off their north-south contact. Even if Sun Du wants to repair this ferry bridge, it will take at least two days."

"What will happen in two days?" Zhuang Jihua frowned and asked. Du Yuming was speechless. After blowing up the floating bridge, the battle attempts might be completely exposed and Sun Du would retreat.

"Where did Zhang Lihui get there?" Zhang Lihui's regiment was the one stationed in Xichang. They arrived in Dechang first. After Chen Guangzao fled to Dechang, Zhuang Jihua sent them out and sent them all to Huili area to participate in the war the day before yesterday.

"They are currently on standby in Chunjianping, Longjiao Mountain." The combat adviser replied.

Zhuang Jihua silently looked at the situation map on the map and said for a long time: "Guangting, I have an idea," he looked up at Du Yuming and said: "You said that if An Enpu was surrounded, would Long Yun leave him alone?"

"Definitely not." Du Yuming replied without hesitation. An Enpu was the main force of the Dian Army and a Yi compatriot of Long Yun. It seemed that his son was also in this army, and a basic unit like this. Long Yun could not give up.

"Okay, we will surround An Enpu, but we won't eat him, but Long Yun must think that we can't eat him, so he will definitely order Sun Du to come and save him, so we can hold Sun Du away."

"Good idea." Du Yuming couldn't help but shout: "This is another form of surrounding Wei to save Zhao, and he must save him. But how do you plan to surround An Enpu?"

"The key is Zhang Lihui." Zhuang Jihua said, "Look. Zhang Lihui is now in Chunjianping. Look." Zhuang Jihua pointed to the situation map and said, "At present, Wang Guobin and An Enpu are in a stalemate in Qiaoba. Let Zhang Lihui detour from here." Zhuang Jihua said, drawing an arc on the map and directly inserting Qiaoba: "Put it directly. Let Fan Hanjie send a powerful part to fight from east to west. Join Zhang Lihui. In this way, An Enpu can be captured. In this way, we have the initiative in the battlefield. Tell Fan Hanjie to dare to use the 24th Army troops. It is enough to leave a regiment in Huili City."

"Okay. I'll send a newspaper to Fan Hanjie now. Tell him the whole plan of our land. Let him be sure to hold Sun Du for ten days." Du Yuming got up and was about to leave. Zhuang Jihua called him again. He thought and said, "In addition, he would send a telegram to Fan Chunshen. Blast the floating bridge." Du Yuming nodded and turned around and left. Just as he was about to go out, Yang Yongtai hurried in. Zhuang Jihua looked at Yang Yongtai and did not ask him what he was going to do. He waved his hand to signal Du Yuming to send the telegram first.

As soon as Du Yuming left, Yang Yongtai handed Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to Zhuang Jihua. But he sighed and sat on a chair. After reading the telegram, Zhuang Jihua put it in his pocket. Yang Yongtai asked anxiously: "Cultural Revolution. What do you think?"

"What else can I do? I will not accept the orders of the outside king. We will beat us. I will explain the principal's place in the future." Zhuang Jihua said indifferently: "As long as we can take Yunnan down, the principal will definitely be so happy that he forgot to scold me. Do you think so?"

Yang Yongtai couldn't help laughing and stood up. He reached out and pointed at him and said, "Zhuang Wenge. You're such a mouth."

To be honest, if he hadn't been in Chongqing for so long, he suddenly saw the telegram from Zhuang Jihua, Yang Yongtai himself would have opposed it. But over the past period of time, his strength in Chongqing has been very clear. Even if he is not a soldier, he knows that the escort team is very strong and the equipment and training is the best among the domestic army. Zhuang Jihua occupied the Chongqing Arsenal and equipped all the best weapons to the escort team. Without this understanding, Yang Yongtai would not dare to propose a suggestion to capture Yunnan.

Du Yuming soon, when he saw Yang Yongtai still here, he asked, "Mr. Changqing, does the principal have any instructions?"

"No, he is too excited and can't sleep, so he came to stay up late with us." Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly: "Although Mr. Changqing is a literati, he is also very good at marching and fighting. He is afraid that we are too small, so he suggests to transfer the Sichuan Army to the war."

"Chuan Army?" Du Yuming frowned and thought for a moment: "I think it's better to forget it. When they arrive, our battlefield will be cleaned, not to mention that if we don't do it well, we will send someone to watch them."

Yang Yongtai couldn't help glaring at Zhuang Jihua. Of course he knew that Zhuang Jihua had nothing to say, and he explained the problem of Sichuan Army clearly. He didn't answer this, and turned around and left with a swing of his sleeves.

Zhang Lihui was woken up from his sleep. Since he was sent to Xichang, he felt that something might happen here, so after arriving in Xichang, he urged the troops to step up training to become familiar with the terrain and climate of the Xikang area, and then he wanted a large amount of ammunition from Chongqing. Sure enough, something happened to Huili. Soon after he received an order to Dechang. When he arrived in Dechang, Commander Zhuang (the first brothers all called Zhuang Jihua like this) was already in Dechang. Only when he arrived in Dechang did he know the whole picture of the matter. Liu Wenhui provoked conflicts between the Yi people in northern Yunnan. The Yunnan army broke through the Jinsha River and surrounded Huili. The guard team suffered heavy losses. Seeing Zhuang Jihua's angry face, Zhang Lihui's heart thumped, and the fighting factor in his blood began to become active again, and he smelled the smell of blood.

Sure enough, not long after, Commander Zhuang sent them south and let them enter Longzhang Mountain to stand by. Smelling the smell of gunpowder in the air, they had been doing nothing here for two days. Several team leaders came to him several times to spin. He knew what they meant, but without orders, no one dared to move. Commander Zhuang's military discipline knew. Now the order has finally come.

"Call the Chief of Staff and the Team Leaders." Zhang Lihui immediately ordered after scanning the telegram.

Within a few minutes, the team leaders quickly arrived at his shack. Two oil lamps had been hung in the shack, illuminating the shack, and a large map was spread on the table.

"Come in."

Several big men came in and immediately filled the small shack. Zhang Lihui looked at everyone with expressionless expression and said, "The order is here. Let us follow Longzhang Mountain, from Yelu Slope, Shoniu Bay, and Caomai Valley to directly penetrate Qiaoba, cutting off An Enpu's retreat."

"When will we be asked?" asked the Chief of Staff.

There are more than 200 miles of mountain roads from here to Qiaoba, and the team leader all shot Zhang Lihui in doubt.

"The captain is merciful this time, let us start an attack at 11 o'clock tomorrow night." Zhang Lihui said expressionlessly.

"It's three in the morning and we have twenty hours," said the Chief of Staff.

"Then why don't you leave quickly." The captain of the team rolled his sleeves and shouted.

"Okay, it seems that everyone is confident. It is worthy of our fourth team." Zhang Lihui nodded: "The old rules are the first team, the second team and the direct team are in the middle. The third-segment is cut off and the rear is set off."

In the dark night, a torch was moving forward quickly westward.

After receiving the order, Fan Hanjie immediately adjusted the deployment and asked the two regiments of Liu Yuantang's army to replace the escort team, mobilized the two regiments of Yang Yinglong's army to leave the city overnight to replace the escort team, and the escort team and the main regiment of Liu Yuantang's army to move westwards secretly overnight.

After dawn the next day, Sun Du found that the firepower of the opponent's attack was much weaker. The attacking force was also replaced by the 24th Army unit. After fighting for a whole morning, the escort with the strongest attack power was gone. Sun Du couldn't figure out where Fan Hanjie transferred the troops. In the afternoon, he decided to test it and see where the escort had gone. He ordered a company to launch a counterattack on Yang Yinglong's troops.

The blue-green Yunnan soldiers carefully crawled on the hillside. When they were still at the foot of the mountain, the bullets on the mountain flew in a mess. The commander of the attacking company immediately became confident: "Brothers! There is no guard above. Rush up!"

The morale of the soldiers of the Yunnan Army immediately increased. Indeed, the guards usually had to wait until they passed the mountain before starting to shoot, and the gunfire was much more regular, which was not like what they are now.

The soldiers of the Yunnan Army rushed up the mountain. After passing the mountainside, the company guarding the mountain was a little panicked. The company commander shouted at the top of his lungs, but the soldiers cheered up and resisted. Then they threw out a series of grenades. The Yunnan Army retreated. However, Sun Du was very excited and immediately organized a second attack. This time the troops were put into the ground.

The Yunnan Army, who participated in the attack, knew that the above was not a guard. They were very confident, so their attack was very fierce. After half an hour, they rushed to the top of the mountain and Yang Yinglong's troops fled one after another.

The frontier position was lost, and Fan Hanjie was furious and shot the company commander who had lost the position on the spot.

"This time I'm defending the dead. Whoever loses the position will do the same. Hold the position and reward them after the war!" Fan Hanjie's cold tone made all the officers shudder, but Fan Hanjie is not finished yet: "Kill the first line in the second line, kill the second line in the third line, tell the brothers that from now on either die on the position or under the military law, choose it yourself."

Sun Du was very happy when the attack was successful, but he still didn't find out where the guards had gone. He threw away the position as expected. Fan Hanjie was going to launch a counterattack, but until dark, he didn't see his actions. So Sun Du initially guessed that the guards had gone down to rest and had been fighting for a few days. After all, people are fleshy, and no matter how strong they are, they will be tired.

However, An Enpu was not as relaxed as him. All day today, Wang Guobin attacked him like crazy, rushed down three hills in a row before stopping. He no longer dared to order the troops to counterattack. The previous counterattacks caused heavy losses to his two brigades, and even if the troops were strong, they could not accept it. As soon as the sky darkened, Wang Guobin stopped his troops on time, and the commercial room was filled with silence again.
