"Have Hou Ji arrived at Guxi River?"

"The Ninth Division has established a defensive position."

“Where is the location?!”

"The tall board was originally a grain station for local grain collection, and the grain official office was there."

"good!"

Guo Wei nodded, "Order Hou Ji's troops to withstand the counterattack of the enemy's 17th Division at all costs during the day and obstruct the 17th Division's operation to rescue Qujiang County!"

"yes!"

"Order Yangba to rest on the spot and launch an attack at night as planned!"

"yes!"

After the order was issued, a large number of correspondents followed the spies to shuttle through the mountain path. The communication here was very inconvenient. The radio stations equipped by the division headquarters were sometimes useful and sometimes useless. In order to ensure communication, in addition to radio communication, personnel commuting became the final guarantee for short-distance orders.

If you can hold a horse, mule, donkey, or even a cow, you can send it to your hand.

Not all large animals can go to the battlefield, so the cattle cannot do it. If you start to be shocked, you will completely flee wildly.

Every big beast that can work with the army is a treasure. The soldiers would rather be wronged and hold a handful of beans in their arms, which would be left for the beasts.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The artillery bombardment of the 17th Division in the north and east of the high-legged board has begun. This artillery bombardment has allowed the soldiers of the Southern Expedition to experience for the first time what is earth-shaking.

The observation position of the open whistle does not need to be hit directly, and the shock wave of two shells will be taken away directly.

The tunnel operation is not that fast, so I simply bring a lot of woven bags. This hill is a mixture of red soil and sand and gravel, not pure stones.

One by one, one by one, bunkers were built on the side of different mountain bags.

However, dust was flying, and the shelling was so strong that people could not do anything. They could not open their eyes and kept tinnitus. For a few minutes, they could not see the five fingers and could not see clearly the things around them.

Hou Ju, the commander of the 9th Mixed Infantry Division, who was attacking Qujiang, was less than twenty miles in a straight line from Yang Ba's division headquarters. However, in these twenty miles, there was an enemy 17th Division in the middle.

Yangba did not move because according to the orders of the Nanzheng General Command, he would defend the whole day, dragging the enemy to regain Qujiang County.

The counterattack can only wait until night, and it is completely impossible to fight during the day. In terms of firepower configuration, although the enemy's 17th Division is called a division, it actually has two reinforced brigades under it, and each brigade has three full regiments. This is completely an army configuration in the imperial army sequence, and it is even better than that.

When you want to siege during the day, the special geographical environment makes it impossible to expand the troops. In a limited and narrow environment, the offensive firepower that can be displayed is extremely limited.

Here, there are 10,000 or 100,000 people. In the end, the battle for one mountain bag, one checkpoint, and one bunker is a battle of one or two hundred people.

A large number of hundreds of people fought and were scattered between Jinjiang, Beijiang, Guxishui, Lingxishui and mountains. A bridge, a river, or even a mountain village here is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, if you want to concentrate your superior forces to deal with the enemy and risk heavy fire during the day, it is tantamount to killing death in vain.

If the encirclement is extremely fragile, it is not the encirclement, but is defeated by everyone.

Because of this special situation, Guo Wei and the regiment-level units of each division repeatedly emphasized the enemy's firepower advantage, and in terms of infantry quality, Guo Wei also repeatedly emphasized that the enemy's 17th Division is completely different from the opponents they encountered in the past.

It is not a miscellaneous army, nor is it a local army that the senior officials of the Empire gave up and abandoned, nor is it a force that the father does not love, his mother does not love, but has no backing, and has backing forces. They fight bravely, dare to fight, have excellent military qualities, and are also the best in the training. They are extremely difficult to crack.

But no matter how difficult this bone is to chew, it is impossible to avoid.

Can't escape.

Boom boom boom boom!!

At the same time as the second round of artillery attacks, the enemy's 17th Division had actually launched an infantry charge, but there was no sound of killing. The shells above their heads flew past, and the defensive position of the "Tang People's Revolutionary Army" in front exploded, with sand and stones flying, and dust flying.

Until the moment the cannon suddenly stopped, the charge rang, but it was not the charge of the "Tang People's Revolutionary Army", but the enemy's 17th Division.

"Brothers! Come with me to kill the thief!!!"

"It's time to make contributions to the country!!"

"Kill ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The gunfire was loud, and some positions were hit by the bombardment, and the soldiers who were shaking their heads in the aftermath were hit by the sudden enemy before they could get up from the cover.

Bang!

Click!

Bang!

Click!

There are extremely rhythmic shooting sounds, kneeling and standing shooting, and the infantry's storm-formation is obviously staggered, not in a line or a swarm.

When a group was charging with guns, an adjacent group began to shoot and cover. In this way, the high-legged boards were close to the top of the Beijiang River in the northeast direction, and the position was lost in just two minutes.

Passively beaten Hou Jue was watching with a telescope, gritting her teeth, but she was anxious.

The temporary defensive position is as fragile as paper.

However, he hated even more that he did not emphasize the enemy's professionalism and strength.

"Teacher!"

"At any cost, nail me to death!"

"yes!"

The gap in long-range firepower is too big. Hou Ju does not have a decent cannon here, only a close-range grenade tube is enough. The range of the mortar is extremely awkward at this time. As long as the position of the mortar is exposed, the opposite cannon will be bombarded in a round of thunder. No matter what your situation is, how many mortars are there.

At this moment, Hou Ji felt that the slowest flow in the world was time.

He was really looking forward to the arrival of the night, and by that time, the situation should be much better.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another round of artillery began.

After the enemy occupied the Gaozuishanbao position in Northeast China, they immediately adjusted the shooting direction. The shells gradually began to explode near the grain station in less than a minute.

There is the command post of the Gaozhu Army Regiment.

The other party's professionalism and strength made many people feel numb from their scalp. Some soldiers were even blinded by the bomb for a while, and they were in a trance for a long time.

If the soldiers' representatives hadn't been there to cheer up, their morale would have been knocked to the extreme at this moment.

The more exciting it is to destroy the destruction in southern Jiangxi, the more embarrassing it is to be beaten here.

At the Nanzheng General Command, Guo Wei also heard the sound of shelling, round after round, very rhythmic. Guo Wei's eyes were full of worry, he looked at his pocket watch again and again, and then paced back and forth in front of the map again and again.

Time, he only needs time.

The surprise attack on Qujiang was to maximize the victory results, but if the enemy's 17th Division was not removed, everything would be unknown.

I went out and looked up at the sky. It was noon in the scorching sun, and it was still a long time before night...
