Chapter 36 One of the blocking battles
After reporting her combat vision to the 6th Brigade Brigade Department, Lin Siyu ordered a company to follow the convoy slowly towards Nandan, and personally led the second and third battalions and directly affiliated troops to quickly rush to Chengguan Town for assistance. She knew that the troops close to the first battalion could not stop the Gui army's counterattack. The Gui army wanted to set up an ambush circle near Nandan to wait for the Sichuan army. Why didn't the Sichuan army want to solve the Gui army at one time?
At this moment, it depends on the accurate information on the side, the action is quickly and the blocking is strong. Lin Siyu did not wait for the reply from the brigade headquarters. She knew that the brigade headquarters would inevitably ask her to stand on time and wait for the follow-up brother troops. She also knew that her identity restricted others and no one dared to take risks easily with him, but the current army closest to Chengguan Town is only his own regiment. If others don’t do it, it doesn’t mean that Lin Siyu doesn’t dare.
Since we set off yesterday evening, the sky has been bright. Due to the urgent march and carrying a certain number of heavy weapons, we had to bypass the two mountains, which was nearly a hundred miles more than the first battalion. Lin Siyu waved his hand to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, stopped the script and looked at the map, and asked the guide beside him: "Uncle, how far is it after passing Qingshankou in front?"
"It's almost there, at most, it's an hour! The road to cross Qingshankou is smooth." A half-year-old man, probably Lin Siyu, seemed full of energy, and he knew at a glance that the people who had been walking in the mountains for many years were hired by the troops. For these people living in the mountains, no one in power has to do with him. As long as he fills his stomach and doesn't come to collect taxes, he supports it. It's simple and realistic.
"Captain," the third battalion commander Zhang Dada's bold and burly figure, and a loud voice came into Lin Siyu's ears.
"Captain, the soldiers of the army are really unable to bear the physical strength. They didn't eat overnight and walked more than a hundred miles away. Did you ask the army to rest and have breakfast while rushing on the way?" Zhang Dadan couldn't tell whether the female regiment commander was good or bad. Once, he made an opinion in front of the brigade commander, hoping to transfer himself to other regiments, but he was scolded so hard that he didn't count. The brigade commander actually threatened himself. If he didn't obey Commander Lin's orders, the one who waited for him would be transferred to the logistics department and take charge of the grain warehouse. Since then, Zhang Dadan tried to contact Commander Lin as little as possible and provoked her less. He thought it was not wrong to not see her!
Looking at Lin Siyu who was hesitant, Zhang Dadan knew what she was worried about and hurriedly explained: "Captain, here is only dozens of miles away from Chengguan Town. There is no gunshot sound from there, indicating that the first battalion is safe and sound. The troops will look like they have to rest for a while and have enough energy to enter the city."
When Lin Siyu heard this, he was also. If the first battalion encountered a counterattack from the Gui army in Chengguan Town, he would report to him. Since there was no return, it means that the main force of the Gui army had not appeared in the area controlled by the first battalion. So she ordered the troops to rest for two hours nearby, and she also leaned against a tree in the sky, took out a military kettle and prepared to drink a sip of water. Who knew that when she saw it, a sip of water was useless. She smiled slightly and thought that she was unlucky, and was ready to stand up and go to the stream to get some water. Think about how many rivers and streams in the future could be directly drunk?
"Captain, let me do it!" The guard who had always been in charge of his own security snatched the kettle and ran quickly to the distant stream. It would be better to be an official! Lin Siyu remembered that no matter in that dynasty or that era, only the existence of the regime would inevitably have an official position, and the people always sharpened their heads into the cadre team.
Political Commissar Liang Kuan rushed over from behind. Lin Siyu was still very satisfied with his political commissar. He could support a banner in all aspects of military organization, ideological education, and cultural cultivation. His slightly thin face turned into a healthy bronze color due to his long-term military career. His high nose bridge is a rare species for Sichuan people.
"Captain Lin," Liang Kuan stepped forward and greeted Lin Siyu on his own initiative. He took the opportunity to find a clean place two meters away from her. He sat down and took out a fashionable cigarette. He looked at Lin Siyu with an inquiring look. Lin Siyu smiled and nodded.
"Political Commissar, talk about the follow-up situation of the troops," Lin Siyu and Liang Kuan lit a cigarette, took a few sips before asking.
"The fourth battalion and artillery battalion behind carry too much supplies, which has dragged down the speed of the march. I caught up, and the brigade commander repeatedly asked me to command the front-line troops to fight, and the fourth battalion and artillery battalion were commanded by you." Thinking of the brigade commander's harsh words in the telegram, Liang Kuan struggled to express the brigade commander's intentions.
"Political Commissar, thank you for your kindness. This long-distance raid was commanded by me from organization to implementation. Now the battle is about to start but kicked me, the actual organizer, to the side. Isn't it a bit unreasonable? We have been together for more than a month and have never had the opportunity to have a good talk. Although I am a woman, I am also a qualified soldier. No matter who is in my position, I cannot easily give up the military achievements I have obtained to others!" Lin Siyu blocked Liang Kuan's ideas from the beginning and did not give him an excuse to preach.
"The regiment commander has said this, but I only have one opinion: You must stay in the command of the regiment headquarters and not go to the battalion company." Liang Kuan smoked cigarettes, stood up and patted the soil on his butt, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Otherwise, I will force the party committee meeting of the regiment party committee to deprive you of command." After saying that, he turned around and left with his butt, leaving Lin Siyu with an embarrassing look on his face.
With the arrival of the main force of the first regiment, the first battalion commander Wang Biao relaxed heavily. He looked at the troops entering Chengguan Town one by one, and was sincerely happy. He showed his face in front of the Second and Third Battalions again. Think about what kind of expression they had on their faces when they saw Zhou Wenshan and Zhang Dadao. I am very looking forward to it!
Wang Biao showed an annoying smile on his face. Lin Siyu walked up to him and was still immersed in his fantasy. Fortunately, the guards around him pushed him gently.
"Captain, the first battalion was ordered to complete the task of seizing Chengguan Town," Wang Biao stepped forward and saluted Lin Siyu and said.
"What is the situation of the troops now? What is the reaction of Gui army in Nandan? Take me to the position built in the south to see," Lin Siyu replied casually.
Picking up the telescope and standing at a commanding height outside the north gate, Lin Siyu carefully inspected the situation around the position and asked Wang Biao in detail about the firepower configuration. Chengguan Town is the northern gate of Nandan, and if it is lost, it will be difficult for Nandan to defend. The Gui army's reaction was so slow, beyond everyone's expectations. Lin Siyu, Wang Biao, including other military leaders of the People's Army, were all in the reaction speed of their own army considering the problem, and forgot that warlords needed food and salary when fighting in this era, and there was no great benefit to preserve their strength. Who would be willing to consume the army in their hands in vain?
Wang Biao set the blocking position between Weimashan and Xiaochang Bridge. The position was formed with diamonds, and mortars were deployed behind it. A machine gun company was equipped with a commanding height in the middle, and the commanding heights on the left and right sides were equipped with more than ten light machine guns. Lin Siyu smiled slightly. The situation of the blocking position made her very satisfied, at least she could not find any problem that could be picked in her eyes.
The sharp-eyed Wang Biao looked at the second, third and fourth battalions at the foot of the mountain and ran quickly, unable to help laughing and shouting: "I said, Zhang Dabang, you are finished. The Gui army has been wiped out by our glorious first battalion. You can wait to take the prisoners!"
"You Wang Biao can brag! Why don't you say that the battalion led by Wang Biao liberates the entire Guangxi?" Zhou Wenshan has always been disgusted with Wang Biao's bad temper. Since the last year, the two of them have been fighting in the same restaurant. They know his character very well.
"Old Zhou, don't leave him. Seeing him being fat, be careful to laugh and choke with one breath," Zhang Dadan shot back with a contemptuous look.
"Haha, don't say that, I am not afraid that others will ruin me. The facts are right in front of me. Why is the merits of Chengguan Town also our battalion fought bloody battles." Wang Biao expressed his merits with a proud face.
"Be careful that the teeth that were blown off were knocked off, and they were fighting bloody? Isn't it that the security group, which had no combat effectiveness, was actually destroyed by the first battalion as the main force of the Gui army. Hehe, the first battalion is capable!" Zhang Dadao poked through Wang Biao, who had blown over his head, felt a little embarrassed to say that, and a silly smile on his face.
"Okay, let's take a look at the position situation!" The fourth battalion leader from the Second Regiment came out to smooth things over.
After Lin Siyu finished the argument, he turned around and smiled and said, "No matter what, the first battalion played an example in the entire regiment. He forcibly marched for more than 140 miles overnight to seize Chengguan Town and build a complete blocking position. These achievements cannot be erased and are worthy of learning from the brothers." Her words made Wang Biao, who was originally arrogant, smile honestly and look at the other battalion commanders happily.
"Our regiment troops have basically arrived, and the blocking mission needs to be adjusted. The second battalion and the third battalion will take over the first battalion position. The second battalion is responsible for the left position, the third battalion is responsible for the right position, and the first battalion will retreat to the town to maintain public order and serve as a reserve team for the entire regiment. At the same time, the fourth battalion immediately seized the southwest of the Femashan and built fortifications. The artillery battalion will also be pulled up to Femashan, and look down to control the frontier of the entire position, and provide artillery fire support at any time." Lin Siyu said while thinking about how to improve the combat deployment: "Now the main force of the Special First Division is still in the Bainiu Mountain and the Daliang area. The marching speed is very slow, and the newly formed First Brigade cannot count on Shanggaoqiao. The closest thing is our brigade Third Regiment, which is still fifty or sixty miles away. Including the mountain road, it is at least a hundred miles away. In addition, our regiment's baggage has been thrown to the Third Regiment, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to arrive at least tomorrow noon."
"Captain, don't worry! We have the confidence to defend our position!" Zhang Dadao said to Zhou Wenshan in unanimously.
"Very good, comrades, to be honest. This battle was the first battle under my command by Lin Siyu, and I was still very uneasy. We need to hold on for at least thirty hours, and the enemy has four divisions near Nandan." The contrast of the huge gap in strength deeply weighed on everyone's shoulders. In addition, in order to quickly intersperse, the troops basically advanced lightly, and a large number of heavy weapons were thrown to the third regiment behind, and there were serious shortcomings in the weapons and ammunition in their hands.
In the temporary command of Gui Army in Nandan County, the noise of telegrams, running footsteps, and constant shouting phone calls were intertwined. Lu Youwei's face was ashen, and the news of his loss made him extremely devastated. There were less than two divisions in his hand. The other two divisions belonged to him in terms of face, but in fact he had been slandering.
"Report! Commander, Governor Lu, the phone number of the confidant staff," said the trusted staff member carefully, and reported.
Lu Youwei browned and stepped forward to grab the microphone, and familiar words came from over there.
"Yes, You Wei! I heard that the security team lost Chengguan Town."
"Governor, it is reported that Chengguan Town is indeed occupied by the Sichuan Army, but I have just received the news. The Sichuan Army only has one regiment of troops, and instructs the Third Division to march quickly and must recapture Chengguan Town before tonight."
"Very good. Tell Commander Gao of the Third Division to beat me hard and destroy the Sichuan Army under Chengguan Town."
"Yes, yes, please rest assured," Lu Youwei put down the phone, picked up a pen and wrote an order and shouted: "Come, send this order to Mayor Gao, and notify the new security guards, the Third Regiment and the Fourth Regiment to assemble immediately and follow the Third Division." After Lu Youwei gave the order, he thought about the next step. If he resisted the arrival of the main force of the Sichuan Army, can the 60,000 troops in his hand eat the Sichuan Army?
Compared with the Gui army, the number of troops is similar, but it is said that the combat effectiveness is more than one level higher than that of the Gui army. However, Lu Youwei still doesn't believe it. With a stable mentality, the Sichuan army entered Guangxi this time, and the troops were relatively scattered. Although the northwest Guangxi terrain does not belong to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, it is also full of mountains. In addition, the roads have been disrepaired for a long time, and it is difficult for large troops to march, so material transportation cannot be said.
