Chapter 1103: Empty City See Empty City Again
The Central and Northern Route Army of our country is indeed a new army that has just been formed.
As early as when the own army in Nanqiu County switched from attack to defense, the commander's office of his country proposed to transfer part of the backbone of the Central Route Army and match it with new recruits to form the Central and Northern Route Army.
Due to the new unconventional troops, there were only three corps under its jurisdiction, with a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses.
The North Central Route Army was commanded by Jing Xuan, a famous general of his country, who had been retired for ten years and was entrusted to return to the rivers and lakes. This time, he personally led the army to invade Nanping County, and being able to sneak attack Jin Man shows that his tactical level is not bad.
"Ding Kui's two divisions are going to fight to Beiping Prefecture?" he put down the information, stretched out his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose lightly, "Is Dai Gu old? Why can't you look at the enemy troops of the two divisions?"
He came to a simple sand table and folded his arms in contemplation.
"Okay, then I'll do it. Jing Xuan stretched, but there was a glint in his eyes.
Late at night on 9 February, in Beiluan County, Dai Gu stood on the tower of Beicheng, and Tie Qing watched a large number of dejected officers and soldiers below enter the city gate.
This time, it was the Northern Second Army that lost the battle.
"The enemy ambushed an elite unit in the city, and suddenly killed it during the evening meal, opened the west gate, and the enemy 71st Division in ambush took the opportunity to kill into the city, when the enemy 20th Army appeared in the south of the city, so the commander of the Soviet Army decisively ordered to break through the city. "A staff officer is giving a statement to the agent about the situation of the battle.
Time back to two days ago, Dai Gu decided to contain the Shaodian army, sent the North Second Army to attack, and successfully recovered Shanxi City, although there was no Shaodian army in the city, but the corps commander Su Long still counted the credit on his head.
Before the Northern Second Army could screen the people in the city, the Eighth Army was killed under the city the next day and immediately attacked the city.
It may be that seeing that the North Second Army was stationed in the city, and the Eighth Army did not divide its troops, concentrating its forces to attack the North Gate, Su Long did not relax his vigilance, and still arranged a division to guard the other three gates, but did not continue to search the city.
You must know that Ding Kui has occupied Shanxi City, and it is possible to ambush people or destroy a certain city defense facility to facilitate the next attack.
Since the main force of the Eighth Army could fight, how could Ding Kui not leave behind, so he left Fan Yuzhen's brigade in Shanxi City.
Now he uses Fan Yuzhen's brigade as a special force, because this brigade is all equipped with repeating crossbows and 100 golden bamboo crossbows, and has very strong individual combat effectiveness, coupled with the original good team combat ability, it is completely comparable to the original special operations battalion.
He also asked the 74th and 75th Divisions to change the banner of the 20th Army Corps to ambush in the south of Shanxi City, and only waited for the 71st Division to enter the city before running out to scare his own army.
Fan Yuzhen destroyed several parts of the west gate early in the morning, and took advantage of the time when the city gate guards were on duty to eat, first knocking down the city gate to signal outside, and then guarding near the city gate to block his own army.
Dong Ba immediately rushed out when he saw the signal, and the distance of hundreds of meters roared by for half a minute, and he rushed into Shanxi City without waiting for Su Long to receive the news of an ambush.
When Su Long found out that there was an Eighth Army in front and a Twenty Army in the back, and the West Gate was broken by the Shaodian Army, he immediately lost confidence in holding Shanxi City.
Earlier, he was attacked by Ding Kui and the 20th Army Corps on both sides and had lost more than 20,000 people, which made a psychological shadow, and this time he dared to hesitate when facing the enemy, and immediately ordered to gather troops and horses to flee from the east of the city.
The defeated Northern Second Army did not know that the "20th Army Corps" was pretended to be led by Ding Kui, and the real 20th Army Corps entered Beiping Prefecture in a mighty manner.
Ding Kui returned to Shanxi City to join Jiang Zhi.
"Lord Yi has gone to support Zhongwangzhou instead of you, and you should be able to catch the enemy off guard. Jiang Zhi ventilated with Ding Kui.
At the beginning, Ding Kui discovered that his army was abnormal, and sent Ao Yan, Ruan Xingzhu and himself across the border to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and in one day, he roughly grasped the deployment of his army.
Because Jiang Zhi's main force was still on the way, Ding Kui planned an ambush battle with Yi Sheng first.
After defeating the Second Northern Army, Jiang Zhi, who rushed to the North First Army, made a battle plan for the future.
The Northern Second Army encountered Ding Kui, who was the most capable of sneak attacks around the rear, and was attacked repeatedly by the 20th Army Corps and the Eighth Army Corps, and it can be said that it was unjustly defeated.
"I already know that the enemy's Eighth Army is attacking your department, even if the enemy's 20th Army arrives, won't you inform me? Can't I and the Northern First Army save Shanxi City? What else will you do but escape? You have tens of thousands of subordinates, and you can't fight the enemy in the streets for a day?" Dai Gu pointed at Su Xuan and scolded bitterly.
Su Xuan lowered his head and didn't dare to explain.
"I think you are not as good as Feng Run, he has managed to block the enemy's Eighth Army for more than half a month, and you haven't been able to hold it for half a night!"
Dai Gu held his breath, and the report sent by the Commander's Mansion belittled him as useless, and almost said that he was not qualified to command the Northern Route Army.
His deputy led most of the Northern Route Army to be killed in Nanqiu County, and one that should not have been captured was left behind, and now in his own military, the Northern Route Army has become synonymous with shame.
I'm afraid that there is an idea of canceling the number of the North Route Army, so the new unit was named the Central North Route Army, and the North Route Army may end in his hands and become history.
Poof, Su Xuan knelt on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "My subordinates should die, my subordinates are willing to be the daring army, lead the rest of the troops to counterattack Shanxi City, and fight to the death with the enemy, if you don't win, you will never survive." ”
"Now I know that I want to fight to the death, why did I go earlier? Now I have a fart! The enemy army is defending the city, and you can't hurt the enemy even if you kill all your subordinates!"
Dai Gu's spit sprayed on Su Xuan's face.
"How many subordinates do you have left? Sixty percent, fifty percent? Forget it, you don't have to go anywhere, just stay here to defend Beiluan County. Ben Shuai personally went to get back the face of the Northern Route Army!"
He decided to fight to the death with the Shaodian army, and personally led the Northern First Army to attack Shanxi City.
The Shanxi City in front of him was another empty city, and it was only the morning of February 10, which meant that the Shaodian army had occupied this place for less than half a day.
"Ran away again, or are you ambushed nearby?"
Dai Gu hesitated under the city, the other party did not lose his own side in terms of strength, and the other party had the upper hand in terms of combat strength, normally speaking, the Shaodian army did not need to avoid the battle at all, and there was no problem in nailing it to Shanxi City for half a month.
"Let your subordinates enter the city, and ask your lord to return to the county to command. Xiang Ban, the commander of the 1st Northern Army, stepped forward to solve problems for his old superiors.
"Hmph, it's not that Ben Shuai doesn't dare to enter the city, but he must first grasp the movements of the enemy army, and he must not let the enemy army run rampant in our country. ”
"My lord, forgive your subordinates for their frustrations, the enemy is good at sports warfare, and if our army tracks the enemy, it will fall into their trap, even if this empty city is a trap, and with the buildings in the city, our army can at least hold on for a while, waiting for friendly troops to come to help. ”
To be honest, Xiang Ban didn't dare to track down the Eighth Legion, and if he caught up, he couldn't win, so he would rather choose to fight in the streets of the city.
When Dai Gu was hesitating, the Battle of Beiping Prefecture kicked off.
