The Second Ranger Regiment embarked on the eastward march without taking off their saddles or armor. As the regiment leader, Gilva was already an old cavalry officer who had been riding on horseback for more than 20 years. The leader of the special cavalry grew up to be a senior officer of the Western Xinjiang Army. He also experienced countless baptisms of blood and fire. However, before he was promoted to regiment commander, he was sent to the Northwest Military Academy to study for half a year. He really did not expect that at the age of forty Even though he was a man, he still had to grit his teeth and sit under the oil lamp to review the lessons taught during the day. Just thinking about it made Gilva himself feel a little funny. But he had to admit that the past six months had a huge impact on him, a person who had almost never left the grasslands and horseback. The world turned out to be so vast, and fighting was not as simple and easy as originally imagined. Many of them were only in practice. It can be seen that the unspeakable experiences and understandings are clearly written in the books in the military academy. The joy of seeing the blue sky through the clouds makes Gilva feel like what his colleagues from the Tang tribe call him attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven. a feeling of.
What makes Gilva feel excited and happy is that he has just returned to his position and received a combat mission. This kind of opportunity is not available to everyone. They are all familiar old subordinates, and they know their temperaments well. It's easy to use, and this battle is a good opportunity.
Ten thousand cavalry stirred up yellow dust all over the sky on the loess plain. Gilva was no longer the officer who only charged head-on and focused on fighting. He has now become the supreme leader of a group of thirty thousand elite cavalry, and the tasks he undertakes are even more arduous. Like this time when he received an order from Kamapov, the commander of the newly formed Fifth Army Corps of the Yunzhong Theater, the Second Cavalry Regiment had just had time to enter the border area from Longquan. He had to change the route to Qinghe and go directly to Qinghe. Entering the southern part of Yunzhong, the command did not provide a clear introduction to the enemy's situation. It only said that the enemy's two main divisions had entered Yunzhong from Beiping, and required that the task of blocking the enemy's approach to Yunzhong Fucheng must be completed.
The southern part of Yunzhong is vast, and such an arduous task is undoubtedly difficult for the 2nd Cavalry Regiment. Gilva decisively divided the regiment into three 10,000-person troops and spread them out in an arc, with 10,000-person troops every dozens of kilometers serving as assaults. The arrow moves forward, waiting for an opportunity to find a fighter. The scout team entered each area first and cooperated with the military intelligence personnel in the area to grasp the enemy's dynamics.
Zhu Wenkui rode his horse and jumped onto the hill beside the road, overlooking the wilderness ahead. The troops were moving at a pretty good speed. Although they encountered harassment from several small groups of enemy troops along the way, Zhu Wenkui, who was ambitious in the clouds, knew that it was just Western Xinjiang. The purpose of the suspicion tactics is to delay their own progress. He had been prepared for this. As the commander-in-chief of the southern front, he commanded not only his own second division but also the fifth division. The cavalry regiments of the two divisions were specially drawn out and targeted. The enemy troops who attempted to harass the march were dealt a ruthless blow, and the effect was very obvious. At least several groups of harassing troops in Western Xinjiang were wiped out. Moreover, it failed to have any impact on the march of his main force.
The battle report coming from the central line seems that the sissy named Lu was blocked by the enemy's dike bursting and the water burst, and was forced to stop in the Maoerba area. It seems that the enemy will have to spend some time to bypass the large artificial swamp. , now it’s time for our southern front to show off its military power.
"Brother Zhu, it seems that you and I are the first to take the lead this time. Haha, Lu and Xie Wenjin are currently at a loss in Maoerba, waiting for them to get around there. I'm afraid the day lilies are all cold." The speaker spoke very casually to Zhu Wenkui. It was Gao Qiushan, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Second Army. He had always been on good terms with Zhu Wenkui, so this time he was assigned to partner with Zhu Wenkui to focus on the southern front. Come, it will be smooth sailing, and with the strong support of the aristocratic landowners in southern Yunzhong and the good guide, it will only take one day. They have already crossed more than half of the distance, and they can reach Yunzhong in at most one day. However, the Xijiang Army has just stepped into the boundary of Yunzhong. In these two hundred miles, the Xijiang Army's march speed is astonishingly faster than two or three times. No matter how late the day is, they can't make it in time, so the two of them are very ambitious, hoping to swallow up Yunzhong Mansion in one go and win the first victory in the Yunzhong Battle.
"Hey, Brother Gao, it's hard to say now. Li Wufeng's troops are also battle-hardened warriors. They are an unusual army. Although we are not afraid of it, we should not underestimate it. There are no false soldiers under the prestige. , can defeat the Luobi and Kaman people. This can't be achieved by luck alone." Although he laughed, there was no smile on Zhu Wenkui's thin cheeks, and there was no smile in his somewhat sunken eyes. His eyes were also dark and expressionless.
Gao Qiushan was already accustomed to his colleague's caution, so he took a step forward without hesitation: "Huh, they are all raised by their parents. His Western Xinjiang Army is a master of hundreds of battles. Could it be that we are just the young ones? It's a mule or a horse, so you have to take it out for a walk. I don't believe that his Western Xinjiang Army can be any better than us boys! Over the years, His Highness has always made concessions, to the people of Puer, to the people of Kaman, okay It was easy to see that we were about to have a serious arm-wrestling with the Doton people, but the Japanese came to interfere again, and we saw that the military success we had obtained was wasted again. Now it's better, the Doton people and the Japanese are on the front line with us. , His Highness is really quite capable. He can get the princess of the Duodun people into his hands, and even the Duodun people have to work hard for His Highness. It is good for the Duodun people to see the methods of the Xijiang people, and it can also make them grow up. If you have knowledge, you won’t act like a arrogant and arrogant person anytime and anywhere, and really think that you are invincible. If you are really invincible, you won’t be beaten to a pulp by a bunch of foreign Japanese who haven’t even shed their hair. The Yue Peninsula has become everyone’s meal, but you still have the nerve to come here to show off your power!”
Hearing the wild and uninhibited words of his colleague, the indifferent Zhu Wenkui was also slightly moved. He also disapproved of his master's invitation to the Duodun people to enter the mainland. Although he was engaged to Princess Jia Fulin of the Duodun Kingdom, Duodun After all, people are outsiders, and it always feels uncomfortable to let outsiders get involved in this kind of civil war. However, even the commander of the regiment had no objections. Even if they, the officers at the division level, had some dissatisfaction, they could only suppress it in their hearts.
"Qiu Shan, this is all for the two of us to talk about. Don't go outside and make noises. Be careful that some troublesome people come to His Highness to make noises. His Highness is not in a good mood right now. If it doesn't happen, both you and I will suffer. I don’t know why I’m the first in line.” Zhu Wenkui had already learned about his colleague’s carelessness, and he had to remind him.
"Okay, Wen Kui, brother, I still understand the importance of this matter. His Highness is not feeling well now. When we take Yunzhong for him, he will feel better. By the way, we also want to see this How can the so-called undefeated Western Xinjiang Army be invincible!" Although his tone was calm, the tone revealed was particularly ferocious.
"There will be a chance. Look, don't you want to see the depth of the Western Xinjiang Army? I'm afraid you can see it soon." Zhu Wenkui's gloomy face showed no expression, even if he looked at the Tan Ma who was galloping forward. He also looked indifferent.
"Well, I'm afraid it's time for news. I'd be surprised if the Western Xinjiang side just let us go straight into Yunzhong City. That only means that they either have a false reputation or have another conspiracy. Something is happening now. It's just in line with common sense." They are all veteran soldiers. Gao Qiu Shan was not surprised when the dust-covered exploration horse came galloping in front of him. After decades of marching and fighting, he had not seen any storms, but a war broke out in front of him. He has also achieved the state of not being surprised by changes.
"Two generals, the cavalry regiment was intercepted by enemy cavalry eight miles ahead on the left. The battle is now fierce. I have ordered you to come and report!" It can be seen that Tan Ma, whose blood-stained robes were stained with blood, also arrived here after a bloody battle. , one can know the intensity of the battle from a clear cut mark on the vest and armor.
After exchanging glances, Zhu Wenkui waved his hand to signal the scouts to retreat. Zhu Wenkui had seen from the enthusiasm in the eyes of his colleagues the desire to fight in his heart. He nodded, and Zhu Wenkui waved to signal the messengers to prepare to receive the order.
"Order the fifth division to deploy the crane-wing battle formation, with heavy infantry guards on both sides, and advance quickly. The second division will attack sideways as quickly as possible." While looking at the map, Zhu Wenkui quickly issued the order, The enemy cavalry came so quickly. It could only be the Ranger regiment in Li Wufeng's hands. However, a ranger regiment in Western Xinjiang has as many as 30,000 people. Although the two cavalry regiments he sent out were quite powerful, they could not resist it. There is a Ranger regiment on the other side, and the area in southern Yunzhong is so large. The enemy can accurately find the route of his army. He must be divided into several groups. Only in this way can we explain why our two regiments only focused on fighting fiercely and did not ask for help. .
Zhu Wenkui's judgment was very accurate. In order to prevent the enemy troops from slipping through the net he had set, Gilva did disperse the three thousand men, but the left line happened to encounter the two regiments of light cavalry from the empire cruising in front. , an encounter suddenly broke out without either side taking precautions.
A cavalry force of 10,000 people versus two cavalry regiments, the number of which is similar. One is a battle-hardened eagle from the Tengger Grassland, full of murderous intent, and the other is a battle-hardened iron-blooded lion on the northern plains, full of passion. The two sides collided head-on, without any extra words, and it immediately became a melee.
