Shiguba, the command post of the 17th Division, was very strong. The straight distance from here to the high-legged board was only four miles away. There were no tea trees, sweet potato fields, and decent forests around.

The disguise of the division headquarters is mainly about covering nets and plants. From a distance, it is no different from the teahouses in the tea garden.

"Teacher Commander, the right wing has broken through, the tall board is empty on the north side!"

"Press up and defeat the bandits!"

The commander Su Zhang looked solemn and his eyes were full of confidence. He wore sunglasses and looked at the sky outside. It started in September, and it would start darker than six o'clock in the evening. At around six o'clock, the sky would completely darken.

"If I'm not wrong, the bandits want to hold us back and fight us at night."

"Teacher Commander, now they have such great casualties, and they still have the strength to fight the night battle?"

"On the battlefield, you may think that as long as we make fewer mistakes than the opponent, victory is ours. As long as we fight beautifully this time, I personally ask Guangzhou for you to make merits, and the imperial medal is indispensable."

"Thank you, Commander!"

"It's too early to thank me now. I ordered all units to pay attention to the distance of positions at night and respond to the raids at any time."

"yes!"

After giving the order, Su Zhang put his hands on his back and looked at the map. His eyes actually became quite complicated.

"Even if I win here, I'm afraid I'll go south."

Since the enemy has all fought here, there is no need to think about it. The worst case scenario is that the "Wu Guang Line" is fully unblocked in Jiangxi and Hunan. What we have to face in the future is the revolutionary army built up with resources from two provinces.

The geographical environment of Shaozhou is really good, because it is like a man who is in a pass and ten thousand men cannot open up. He firmly guards the northern part of Lingnan Province. The complex geographical transportation environment makes Shaozhou easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is useless to just pile up troops here.

Therefore, although the "Tang People's Revolutionary Army" surprise attack on Qujiang County was a risky military operation, Su Zhang greatly appreciated it.

If it were him, he would put himself in his shoes and would do the same.

It is ignorant to fight with your seventeenth division as soon as you start.

Not only will he be stuck here, Qujiang will also be warned, and then it will not be as simple as a seventeenth division.

The other party is a master.

With boldness and carefulness and fierce combat style, the calculation is not limited to the battlefield environment, but also takes into account changes outside the battlefield.

In fact, when the news of the fall of Qujiang came, many officers and soldiers of the 17th Division were scared, and three or four regiment commanders suggested retreating as soon as possible. If Su Zhang had not been famous for his high prestige, he would have explained that he would only be divided and eaten by others once he ran away in a hurry. At this moment, the morale of the army had become a mess.

Stabilizing the morale of the army is nothing. Su Zhang wants to win by winning with a high-level flag and further increase his confidence.

Although the other party successfully attacked Qujiang County and he knew nothing about what changes had happened to the political center of Shaozhou, even if he drew war resources from Qujiang County in a short time, he could not reverse the gap in firepower and equipment.

For more than a hundred years, for the rulers, only the power directly controlled by the rulers will use the most advanced and powerful equipment.

As for so many provincial units in the world, some overseas territories can usually be settled by a few sailing warships. Weapons, equipment and combat ideas are double generation differences.

Su Zhang predicted that the opponent must be fighting with light infantry, and there is no difference between the environment here, the supply difficulty of armored mobile units and light infantry.

What I see is the inventory and combat effectiveness of our team.

Su Zhang has rich experience in mountain warfare or plain warfare. If it weren't for the turmoil of the central government, he would have been a high-profile general last year, and he would not have been delayed until now. He is still the commander of the 17th Division.

Of course, although he is a teacher, for the entire Guangzhou Group, he is indeed a general.

The battle continued, and good news kept coming. The 17th Division took down multiple positions in succession, repelling the defense line of the "Tang People's Revolutionary Army" for five or six miles.

For every position, the casualties of the "Tang People's Revolutionary Army" are quite astonishing. Judging from the war reports, there are 70% reductions.

If Su Zhang had not seen this preliminary and detailed statistics on the results, he might be very happy.

But seeing that the position was reduced by 70% and his face became more and more serious.

He was so ruthless that he still didn't retreat...

"Tonight, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight."

The previous confidence was full of people, but because of the enemy's major losses, Su Zhang's heart was weakened.

"If the bandits are all non-human, maybe I will jump out tomorrow."

Looking at the map, Su Zhang already had a complete plan.

If the night battle goes well, even if there is a slight setback, tomorrow will still be as strong as today; if the night battle is difficult, then during the day, you have to adjust it, change to a feint attack, and then wait for an opportunity to jump out of here.

He had a guess that the reason why the enemy was fighting him here was to prevent him from regaining Qujiang County might be one purpose, but there is another possibility...

His seventeenth division is his goal itself?

If the latter idea comes true, it will be terrible.

Until now, he still doesn't know who the opponent's general is because he cannot judge where the enemy's strategic goals are.

If it is just Shaozhou, then it is not Guo Wei.

If the strategic goal is Guangzhou or Lingnan Province, it must be Guo Wei.

It's a headache...

Rubbing his temples, Su Zhang was a little tired.

As a pure imperial soldier, Su Zhang rarely participated in politics, but with the collapse of the central government's finances, he had to participate in politics for the sake of the 17th Division.

If a soldier does not intervene in politics, he will not expect to get money from a politician.

How can you support the troops if you don’t have money?

"Teacher Commander! The bandit army retreated again!"

"knew."

"Well……"

Unexpectedly, the officer who came to report the good news suddenly felt that he was indifferent. However, when he was chatting with people outside, he had already thought about going to Qujiang County for fun and finding a sister to have a good time. He had to celebrate and have fun anyway...

The people of the 17th Division were already thinking about Qujiang's sister. Hou Ju, who had been beating, almost yelled the sender into a sieve.

"I want support! Support! Support! I was knocked out two battalions in a fucking hour!! Call me Mr. Guo! Call me Mr. Guo!"

However, the radio station of the division headquarters is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and at this time... it doesn't work again.

"damn it!!!"

The last order that Hou Ju received was to hold on, the next one was to hold on, and the next one was to hold on firmly...

How to drag it out? How to persist? How to hold on firmly?!

There is nothing to do when you go back and forth, only completely passively being beaten!

Can this battle be fought?
