Chapter 1727 Looking back at Menghan, full of heartbreak
Pu Xingquan's urban defense brigade is a garrison unit responsible for military security in the surrounding areas of Menghan. Although the combat units at the regiment and battalion level were arranged a little scattered, they were all very close to the central city of Menghan. The farthest troops arrived at Menghan City only took more than an hour.
From this we can see that Blind Pu actually had high hopes for this third son and gave Menghan's gate to him to guard.
But just today, the city defense brigade had a mutiny. Six thousand people gathered in twenty minutes, carrying lightweight weapons, and turned around and rushed to Menghan City.
At this moment, even if the Pu Group Corps Command reacted, it was obviously too late to transfer troops from other regions. This field combat unit did not stay with his doorstep every day even in peacetime, and all had to be stationed outside. The 56th Army direct line of Pu Blind Army was all on the northwest line, and it took seven or eight hours to reach the troops that could arrive as soon as possible.
This is why Wu Junsheng, Pu Sheng, Pu Xingquan and others dare to carry out mutiny, because the city defense brigade will make a time difference under their control, and major events can still be accomplished.
...
It was around 7:30 in the evening.
The six thousand people from the City Defense Brigade arrived from all directions, armed off-road vehicles and military pickup trucks, connected together on various highways and quickly advanced forward.
When the large army was close to the city, the deputy brigade commander of the city defense brigade personally called the supreme military commander of the two directly affiliated regiments of the headquarters and said fiercely: "We want to enter the city to clear the rebels, please leave Menghan Central immediately."
The two regiment commanders also responded very resolutely, claiming that there were no rebels in the city, and any military unit that wanted to arm the city would be firmly resisted by their own side.
Without reaching an agreement between the two sides, the military conflict began.
The six thousand-man city defense brigade began to advance in a ladder-like manner, and surrounded the four exits of Menghan Main Town to death.
It's around eight o'clock in the evening.
The two direct regiments in the city opened the formation at the four entrances of Menghan Main Town. After the two sides met, the guards in the city fired the first shot. At this time, the commanders of each unit could no longer control the situation. Once the gunfire sounded, the battle began.
Pu Xingquan has been remotely controlling the city defense brigade and repeatedly ordered officers from the city defense brigade to try their best to avoid large-scale armed conflicts, just kill into the city and achieve the primary goal.
But when the gunshots sounded, nearly tens of thousands of people collided together, so how could there be so many people trying? The soldiers below were anxious when they fought each other. That was a scene of fighting with their lives.
The sound of cannons and gunshots sounded violently outside Menghan City. The two direct regiments of the headquarters fought to the death, without giving in a single step, and caused a very tragic loss of war.
What Pu Xingquan, Wu Junsheng and others did not expect was that the people in Menghan City reacted fiercely. Some people began to spontaneously attack the city defense brigade that was about to enter the city, shouting that they were rebels. The city defense brigade did not dare to really massacre the people on a large scale, so they could only take a detour to hide.
In addition, in order to avoid the war, people from the city who were engaged in business and non-local cadastrals began to flee abroad on a large scale. As a result, the entire Menghan area became chaotic, and the city defense brigade with only 6,000 people was difficult to control the situation for a while.
...
Inside the 57th Army headquarters.
Wu Junsheng looked at the map and spoke quickly at Pu Xingquan, "Don't pay attention to the people and fugitives, just let the troops concentrate on one point and attack quickly and quickly enter the city. Never keep a stalemate, otherwise we will be done as soon as the reinforcements arrive."
Pu Xingquan knew that he was hesitant at this moment, so he could only immediately order the city defense brigade to attack the city entrance points on both sides of Menghan with all their strength. He also ordered two combat battalions to act as pioneers to bypass the front battlefield and find an opportunity to enter the city by themselves, complete the control headquarters, and eliminate the target of the inspection team.
Menghan City has no large-scale walls. Although there are checkpoints at each entrance and a cordon is usually set up, this is of no help to military defense operations. As soon as the army presses up, the guards in the city can only disperse their forces and guard all key crossings, so as to prevent the opponent's motor vehicle convoy from entering the city first.
This was very difficult for the two direct regiments of the headquarters with only more than 3,000 people, because they had too few people to protect such a large urban area. In addition, the entrances on the north and south sides were subjected to fierce attacks, so the defense must be strengthened, so once the troops shrink, other locations were completely captured.
This is the case with defensive war. As long as there is a little loss, it means that the defense has failed, because as long as other attacking troops enter the city, the defenders will definitely be defeated with one attack inside and outside.
The military conflict in Menghan Central City lasted for more than an hour and ended with the sacrifice of more than 100 people from two direct regiments.
The city defense brigade has entered the city.
But he did not accept any kindness from the people in Menghan Town. Almost all the residential buildings, streets, shops, and residential communities in the entire urban area were shouting crazily, "Get out of the rebels", "Shame of the Pu Army", etc.
This overwhelming curse put a lot of pressure on the soldiers of the City Defense Brigade because they were also in conflict. The upper class said that they came to clean up the rebels, but why did the people in the city react so fiercely? They are all children from the old triangle area and have deep feelings for this land. They are a little unable to accept the scolding of their own people...
But this is how soldiers are. The orders of superiors are greater than those of heaven. To be loyal to the region, one must first be loyal to the superior. This is an eternal law.
According to the previous deployment, the officers of the City Defense Brigade immediately controlled the courtyard of the inspection regiment, and at the same time forcibly took over the Pu Army Corps Command.
But after searching, everyone did not find Shen Fei, Keke and other main leaders of the inspection team. They took over the headquarters compound and did not see Blind Pu, General Staff, or senior generals above the colonel.
From preparing for military advice to implementing it, it took about three hours. The headquarters must have been unable to react, but why did the person disappear?!
...
Outside the city, Pu Xiaozi, wearing ordinary people's clothes, followed the main officials of the headquarters in a mess, standing on the dilapidated road, looking at the Menghan town full of war and smoke.
He had experienced many struggles throughout his life before he became the leader of the old triangle. His experience told him that blood relationships and family ties were things that could be abandoned at any time in political struggles. However, his heart kept hinting that his own son would never rebel against him.
In this extremely contradictory mood, in order to protect the main officials of the headquarters, Kuangzi Pu decided to flee and put on an ordinary person. With the desperate resistance of the two regiments, he ran out of Menghan City at the critical moment.
