Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Liu Gangding's eyes lit up. After carefully observing the terrain of Feihu Valley for a moment, he nodded and said, "Let's do it according to your plan! You immediately take the 358st and 121nd Battalions to Feihu Valley to set up an ambush overnight. I will lead the troops to cut off their retreat. After taking down the th Regiment, we must take control of Honghe County. Zheng Jiahai's st Brigade may launch a counterattack at any time."

For warlord forces, territory is extremely important, representing a large number of manpower and food for survival. Su Zhengyang will naturally not let go of Honghe County, which has a larger population than Sanjiang County. Although the distance between the two counties is more than 140 miles, with the current strength of the security corps, it is fully capable of controlling the two counties and supporting each other.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when night fell, the troops of the 358th Regiment entered Feihu Valley in battalion units. In the dense woods on both sides, Wang Hua and two battalions of security soldiers had already taken positions in advance, waiting for the people of the 358th Regiment to enter the ambush circle.

"Captain, we are ahead of Feihu Valley. The terrain here is extremely complex, with dense forests on both sides. I suggest that we set up camp at the entrance of the valley, send the reconnaissance troops to find out the situation in advance, and then pass through here during the day."

Deputy head Hao Zhao spoke to Du Xiaojun.

"Are you fucking drunk? A local security group that probably doesn't even have a few guns dares to ambush our regular troops here! Immediately get all the troops to pass at full speed. Anyone who dares to delay will be killed immediately!"

Du Xiaojun scolded Hao Zhao angrily. Hao Zhao was Qin Huaiyi's immediate superior in the 358th Regiment. If Du Xiaojun had not been giving Zheng Jiahai a lot of money as a gift, the position of regiment leader would have been Hao Zhao's long ago.

Hao Zhao is a man with some real skills and a very high level of military literacy. Although he did not come from a military academy, he has experienced many major battles and is very experienced. He is also very capable of dispatching troops on the spot.

Hao Zhao wanted to say more, but Liang Xing winked at him, signaling him to shut up.

Hao Zhao could only sigh and continue to command his troops to enter Feihu Valley and pass at full speed.

"Before dawn, we must rush to Kuanyan Town and seize Kuanyan Town, the eastern gateway of Sanjiang County. Can the peasants of the Sanjiang County Security Corps stop our troops? I will skin Su Zhengyang alive this time!"

The three battalions of the 358th Regiment entered Feihu Valley one after another. In the dense forests on both sides, Wang Hua watched the situation of the 358th Regiment intently.

As soon as the troops entered Feihu Valley, Hao Zhao ordered the soldiers to march in companies, two miles apart. In this case, even if they encountered an ambush, the troops in the rear would have enough time to react.

Wang Hua looked at the 358th Regiment troops who suddenly broke up into small groups and marched in a distance. He touched his head and muttered to himself, "This damn Du Xiaojun is really something. He even knew to disperse the troops to prevent an ambush in this terrain."

Seeing that the 358th Regiment's reconnaissance company was about to leave Feihu Valley, Wang Hua gritted his teeth and said, "Shoot!"

The soldiers of the security regiment who were lying in ambush in the dense woods on both sides opened fire at the same time. The flames from the muzzles of their guns kept lighting up in the night, and bullets poured down like heavy rain towards the two front companies of the 358th Regiment. In less than ten minutes, almost all the soldiers of the two companies fell under the muzzles of the security regiment's guns.

Fortunately, Hao Zhao in the rear reacted immediately and stopped the advancing troops.

"This is the sound of heavy and light machine guns. There are dozens of machine guns firing at the same time. This cannot be the Sanjiang County Security Corps. Who are these people who are ambushing our 358th Regiment here?"

Du Xiaojun in the back was also startled by the sudden gunshots. With such terrifying firepower, bullets were fired like they were free, accompanied by the roar of light and heavy machine guns. At this moment, the security regiment's luxurious firepower configuration played a huge role.

"Retreat, retreat from Feihu Valley in an orderly manner. The enemy's firepower is too strong. We are no match for them in this kind of terrain!"

Hao Zhao began to command the troops to withdraw from Feihu Valley, while Wang Hua, with two battalions of soldiers, launched an attack on the troops of the 358th Regiment.

Behind the 358th Regiment, Liu Gangding led a security force of more than a thousand people and detoured to ten miles east of Feihu Valley. Together with Wang Hua, they launched a pincer attack on the 358th Regiment.

"Come on!"

"Take down the 358th Regiment and bring honor to our security team!"

Gunshots continued to rang out on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Security Corps rushed towards the 358th Regiment like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The fire lit up the darkness, and the security team moved forward courageously.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment began to completely collapse under the heavy pressure of the Security Corps.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Du Xiaojun led his guard platoon and headed for the woods on the left side of Feihu Valley, but they ran into Liu Gangding who was rushing over with an assault company.

After a fierce exchange of fire, Liu Kangding shot and killed more than a dozen of the enemy with one shot. Du Xiaojun was so scared that he quickly threw away his weapon and knelt on the ground to surrender.

An hour later, the battle was completely over. The ground was covered with charred marks and the remains of soldiers from the 358th Regiment were scattered all over the ground. The blood stained a large area of ​​land near Feihu Valley.

Hao Zhao, Liang Xing, and Du Xiaojun, the three highest commanders of the 358th Regiment, were all captured alive by the security corps.

Du Xiaojun trembled as he looked at Liu Gangding, who was smiling ferociously, and said, "You, who are you, and why are you ambushing the 358th Regiment here?"

"I'm the deputy head of the Sanjiang County Security Corps, Liu Gangding! All of you, the Du family, young and old, will die at the hands of our security corps!"

"What!" Du Xiaojun's eyes revealed an incredible look.

"How could the Security Corps have such a powerful firepower configuration! You must be the ace troops of the Mingzhou Sun Clan warlord!"

In Du Xiaojun's eyes, only the Sun faction warlords in Mingzhou, located in the prosperous area of ​​Central Plains to the east of Linzhou, have the strength to support a force with such terrifying firepower. Moreover, only the Sun faction's direct ace can have such firepower configuration.

"I'm telling you, the Sun faction's troops are nothing compared to our security group. Having said so much, it's time to send you, Du Xiaojun, off to the afterlife. The Du family will be reunited in the afterlife!"

Without waiting for Du Xiaojun to beg for mercy, Liu Gangding fired four consecutive crisp gunshots from the M1911 in his hand. Du Xiaojun, along with the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment Liang Xing, were all shot dead by Liu Gangding.

Unexpectedly, Liu Kangding spared Hao Zhao's life.

"You are Hao Zhao, the deputy commander of the 358th Regiment, right? Qin Huaiyi specifically said that you are a rare talent. If you are willing to give up the dark and join the light, our security team can accept you as one of our own."

"Qin Huaiyi?"

Liu Gangding looked at Hao Zhao and said, "He is now the chief of staff of our Sanjiang County Security Corps."

"Okay, I can go with you. Whether I will join the security team or not, I will have to meet Qin Huaiyi first."

"Wang Hua, you quickly clean up the battlefield and escort the prisoners back to Kuanyan Town. I will lead three battalions of troops to Honghe County and capture it first."

"Yes, deputy commander!"
