Sword: Li Yunlong advised me to be civilized

On the northern high ground outside Fengxi County, Xing Zhiguo held a telescope and observed the county town a few miles away, occasionally using a walkie-talkie to contact the deployment.

"Brigade Commander, Regimental Commander, reporting from the positions east and south of the city, they've been deployed and are ready to fire at any time. Should we wait?"

Xu Zhenhua raised his wrist, three o'clock!

"Wait! Shunzi must have already taken action. We have to wait for Fengxi to react!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Zhiguo continued to observe, wondering why Mr. Xu had so much faith in the Zilong Commando and believed that they could complete the mission.

Of course Xu Zhenhua would not tell Xing Zhiguo. He knew the Red Army’s fighting spirit too well. The pinnacle of light infantry in human history was created by the Red Army!

Compared with the raid on Luding Bridge more than a month later, these were child's play for the Zilong Commando Team.

My goodness, they were hungry, lacked ammunition, and had to march 240 miles in less than a day and a night, in heavy rain, along steep cliffs, without horses or vehicles...

Li Yunlong remained silent. He couldn't speak at this moment. If he did, he would only draw hatred. Not long ago, Li Yunlong won the game of rock-paper-scissors and took over as the team's main attacker, leaving Xu Zhenhua to stay behind to support the attack.

As time passed, Xing Zhiguo felt very nervous. He was not worried about not winning the battle, but he was excited. At the same time, he was still amazed at Mr. Xu's generosity.

The attack on Fengxi County was just a small battle. The number of troops on both sides did not exceed 5,000, especially our side, which had less than 500 troops.

But this battle will turn into a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. The key lies in whether the Zilong Commando can successfully muddy the waters.

When Xing Zhiguo knew all the plans, he understood very clearly that the chess players on both sides had changed. Old Chang, who was supervising the battle in Yunnan Province, would never have dreamed that his opponent had become Mr. Xu.

------------------

The weather in April is still a bit cold, and the cold monsoon from the northwest will continue to blow for some time.

One mile outside the southwest wall of Guiyang, Shunzi and a temporary attack team of 40 soldiers are waiting to break into the city. Everyone knows that Zhuzi has been leading the artillery in secret training recently, and the brigade commander has been holding back a big move!

At three o'clock sharp, Shunzi gave the order to open fire. No sound of artillery fire was heard, but seven or eight miles away, a dozen or so streaks of fire shot up from Damiao Mountain in a single line, drawing a long parabola and landing precisely on Guiyang City.

Immediately afterwards, the artillery observation point on Nanyue Mountain south of the city reported that all the attacks in the first round hit the target, but the city wall did not collapse!

The artillery position was in the west and the observation point was in the east, more than ten miles apart. Shunzi brought out five walkie-talkies to coordinate and command.

"Zhu Zi, what the hell are you doing? You're making quite a noise, but the city walls haven't collapsed yet. How are we supposed to attack?"

At this time Shunzi became anxious and called out immediately.

Along the way, Shunzi was very curious. He brought 160 shells, but didn't see any cannons. How should he fire them when the time comes?

But Zhuzi refused to reveal it. He personally escorted three mules and horses, and on top of them was a square object, which was wrapped tightly and he didn't let others see it.

Zhuzi, Zhuzi, what's wrong with you? You were just playing dumb when I asked you about it before, but now something's wrong, right? What should I do?

Beads of sweat hung on Shunzi's forehead. The brigade commander said that the commando team was the key to this battle. If they failed, the main force would be in danger.

At this time, Zhuzi's calm voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Yang Ban, why are you panicking? The brigade commander has instructed us that the 107 is too advanced to be demonstrated. Our first round of firing towards the north of the city will be smoke bombs, and the next round will be the main event. Observation post, report the location of the airport..."

"Yes!"

"Whoosh!" A rocket streaked across the sky with a long tongue of fire...

"Calling artillery positions, the impact point is off target, 2 miles south..."

Half a minute later, all the commandos, including Shunzi, were stunned. Are we really that strong now?

Suddenly, three chains of fire shot up from Damiao Mountain in the distance and disappeared into the billowing yellow smoke in an instant...

"Boom boom boom" continuous explosion sounds were heard. The sound was muffled and far away, but Shunzi knew that the explosion was very powerful and the ground here could feel a slight vibration!

"Report artillery positions, the airfield is completely destroyed, target changed, near the provincial government building..."

On the mountains of South Vietnam, behind a long telescope, the observer locked the lens on the blue-white flag swaying in the wind.

...

"Target changed, White Army camp!"

...

"Target changed. Attack the southwest city wall, one mile in front of the attack team..."

...

36 rockets landed accurately on the city wall. Shunzi even forgot to give the order to attack. The soldiers of the attack team all stared blankly at the scene in front of them.

The dull explosions were like heavy drums beating against the chest, making people feel very uncomfortable.

The blue-gray city wall, more than ten feet long, was torn to pieces like a piece of paper...

Shunzi reacted the fastest, stepped onto his horse and shouted loudly!

"Rabbit paper, it's time to fight! Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

"Good! You all did a great job. The brigade commander said that he would treat everyone to hot pot when he gets back! Do you want to eat hot pot?"

"miss you!"

"Okay! Keep up the pace! Don't fall behind! Cavalry Company, attack!"

"attack!"

41 soldiers in light blue uniforms riding war horses, holding Thompson guns and with glory bullets hanging on their chests, rushed into the city along the breach. They used all automatic firepower. The White Army they encountered could not withstand a confrontation. Several backbones had loudspeakers hanging on their backs!

"The Central Army won't let the local army survive. Guizhou soldiers, take up arms and resist! Drive out the Central Army. Let Guizhou rule Guizhou..."

Shunzi always kept in mind the offensive strategy given by the brigade commander: bluffing, fishing in troubled waters, being bold and careful, and being invincible.

......

The pillar on Damiao Mountain had an indignant expression on his face. "Oh no! There are only three rocket launchers here, which is not satisfying. The brigade commander has twenty. What will it look like when they fire a salvo?"

"Observation post, keep an eye on the attacking team and report back at all times. Let's try the infantry-artillery coordination the brigade commander mentioned..."

--------------------

Before 3:00 p.m., at the provincial government office in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, the new provincial governor Wu Zhongxing saw off several commissioners and returned to his office, at a loss as to what to do.

Alas! I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. The situation in Guizhou Province is more difficult than I imagined. Even the previous governor didn't have complete control over Guizhou Province. Those three people had their own troops and were independent, following orders but not announcements. I don't need to worry about the military affairs myself, Commander Xue is in charge of the overall situation.

However, there are many bandits in Southwest Guizhou, and they have even spread to southern Guizhou. Behind them are the shadows of Yunnan and Guangxi provinces...

The more Wu Zhongxing thought about it, the more headache he had. There was an important reason for him to be the president of the provincial government. He was the sworn brother of the chairman and a close friend of General Li of the Guangxi clique.

If someone else had come, the Guangxi clique would have tried every means to go north and snatch a piece of meat from the Chairman's mouth, but Wu Zhongxing was in charge of Guizhou Province, and General Li could not afford to lose face.

Sighing, Wu Zhongxing missed the time when he was the chief counselor at the Nanchang headquarters. It was a sinecure, and it would have been nice to recuperate at home and plant flowers.

Forget it! I still have to be loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task...

Suddenly, there were bursts of explosions...

Wu Zhongxing suddenly jumped up. He was a military commander and immediately realized that the sound was wrong. At least one regiment was attacking Guiyang. No, the area around Guiyang had long been cleared of bandits, and Commander Xue had already led hundreds of thousands of troops to chase them out of Guizhou Province.

Where did this army come from? How dare they openly attack the provincial capital?

Soon, Wu Zhongxing made a judgment based on the summarized intelligence, and his face suddenly turned ashen. The Guizhou Army had rebelled!

Soon after, the call was connected directly to Yunnan Province.

"General, a rebel division of the Guizhou Army is attacking Guiyang... I'm not lying... Look, the bombardment continues. Even the road in front of the government office has been hit by several shells. It's only a few hundred meters away from the provincial government..."

I don't know where these troops came from. They used at least 50 large-caliber artillery pieces... The defenders in the city suffered heavy losses...

The rebels have already rushed into the city, and the Guizhou troops inside the city have also been swept away...

Ugh! I can’t leave. Fifteen minutes ago, the airport was completely destroyed…”

The phone was hung up, and the last words on the receiver were "Niang Xipi!"

Looking at the thick smoke billowing outside the window, Wu Zhongxing slumped back into his chair in despair. My dear brother, I am incompetent. I am afraid that Guiyang cannot be saved!

------------------

In the capital of Yunnan Province, in the temporary official residence of the general manager, the sound of a teacup breaking was heard, followed by an angry curse with an eastern Zhejiang accent.

"Damn it, what does Li Deling want to do? Is he not satisfied with being promoted to Army General?"

An urgent telegram was crumpled into a ball, and the anger dissipated. No, the Guangxi clique must not be allowed to interfere in Guizhou Province, and Wu Zhongxing must not be allowed to have an accident. With him around, the opposition can be restrained, and the Guangxi clique can be more obedient.

"Order the nearest troops to quickly reinforce Guiyang. Resolve the crisis in Guizhou Province at all costs. Well! Telegraph the 88th Division to immediately move south and deploy defenses in southeastern Guizhou. Not a single Gui-affiliated soldier is allowed to enter Guizhou. Order the Fengxi garrison to immediately..."
