C25 The battle of lake cotton

Jiang Zhongzheng smiled slightly. Although he had several responsibilities, and was also the chief of staff of the East Expeditionary Force, he still liked to be addressed as Principal. He smiled as he shook hands with Robert and said: "I don't have a great title, but I do have a lot of false ones.

Robb laughed and said, "Our farmers can't do things to kill the enemy. It's not hard for us to do what we can for the Revolutionary Army."

The two of them exchanged greetings, then Jiang Zhongzheng asked: "Did the enemy make any movements?"

"Yesterday night, the scouts they sent out found out that Lin Hu's army was everywhere in the forest near the cotton lake."

"It's finally here." Jiang Zhongzheng clenched his fist tightly, the fierce battle that he was facing had finally arrived. He ordered his staff officer to take out a map, and after discussing it with the Russian military advisers, he ordered: "Teaching a group to launch an attack from the front, Shen Yingshi will lead the teaching second group to the left wing of the first group to seize the end of the lake, seize the carp lake, and enemies to the right, ensure the left wing of the first group, and order the Seventh Brigade to swiftly turn back to the right side of the enemy and ensure the right wing of the first group. The main body of the school will follow the first group into it. "

He Yingqin, who was following behind the main body, was sharp enough to order Sun Zhang Jun's scout team to do enemy investigation. Li Boyang's first 3rd Battalion was the entire army's forward guard.

The more fights they had, the more understood the characteristics of the various battalions. First, it was good to fight, second, it was good to fight, second, it was good to fight and third, it was good to fight and fast, this was related to the personality of the Battalion Leaders.

After receiving the order, Li Boyang led his troops and advanced towards He Shun. 3rd Battalion led the special task force, Radix Aconiti led the charge, octasia led the way, octasia led the way, octasia followed behind, the soldiers led the troops in formation. There was no noise in the silence, only the orderly sounds of footsteps and light laughter.

Different from the relaxed nature of the soldiers, the various Company Commander s had very serious expressions. They had all heard that Lin Hu was about to lead the forty thousand strong army, although the school army had won by a small margin the moment they left, a thousand people's battle and ten thousand people's battle were incomparable. This was an unprecedented, fierce battle, and it signified their sacrifice.

It was the first time that the army had come to this place, so they were completely unaware of the surrounding terrain. Although the local representatives of the farmers' association had sent out guides to follow them, they were all ordinary farmers, and they did not understand that these were military geography, where every family fought for.

Having caught a glimpse of the panther, Li Boyang had a general idea of the local geographical situation. While he understood the situation, he was more adept at directing the battle.

"Order the troops to quickly occupy the high ground once the battle begins." He knew that the battle would happen at any moment, and his sharp sense of smell told him that this battle was definitely not something that could be compared to the previous battles. Once the battle began, it would definitely be an unprecedented battle, thus he had given the order for the troops to take the advantage and make up for the disparity in their numbers.

At the same time as the Whampoa Academy Army took action, the complacent Lin Hu had already sent out two troops, one with the ten thousand men led by Liu Zhilu to attack the carp lake, with the aim of delaying the Revolutionary Army's forces.

And he himself led twenty thousand troops out of the cotton lake, directly attacking the main force of the Revolutionary Army. He was in a good mood now, Chen Liangming had lost again and again, the fame of the competition marshal had been swept away by the Revolutionary Army, the loyal Lin Lie, Hong Zhao-Lin, Xiong Shu and Liu Zhi Lu had been defeated by the Revolutionary Army, and their troops had been completely wiped out. At the moment, the situation of the Dongjiang River was entirely dependent on him, as long as he could eliminate a mere 3000 Revolutionary Army, then the entire Dongjiang River, even Guangdong, would be his for the taking.

When Shi Long and Bo Luo were fighting, he had already discussed this with Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan. Once Whampoa Academy Army was destroyed, Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan would launch a counteroffensive against Guangzhou, and after that, the three families would support, the temporary ruler of the Republic of China, as their president, and end the revolution in one fell swoop.

In high spirits, Lin Hu rode on a big white horse without any other colors, and the leader of the troops said: "Jiang Hu had once made a living in Shanghai, and had studied in a military academy, so what kind of military academy could he possibly have, and what kind of strong soldiers could he train out of? Huang Po and the rest of the students did not even grow any hair on their heads. Xiong Shu, Lin Lie and Hong Zhao-Lin were all useless, they could not even handle a bunch of students.

Beside Lin Hu were the three great generals Huang Yexing, Huang Renhuan and Huang Dinghua, who were known as "San Huang San". The reason why they were called San Huang San was because they compared them to San Huang San in the medicine store. They could kill insects and get sick. It was commonly known as being able to fight.

Huang Dinghua laughed when he heard Lin Hu's words, then said: "The commander in chief is personally in charge, isn't it easy to capture the school's army?"

Huang Yanxing glanced at Huang Dinghua, who was flattering him, and voiced out his worries to Lin Hu. The school army has been winning consecutively since the battle, and its morale is high. As the saying goes, the army wins like a tiger. "The management thinks that we should still be more careful. We should guard against danger and avoid danger."

When Huang Dinghua heard that Huang Xingye's methods were plausible, he refuted: "Brother Xing, you are too cautious. Our army is always here, and our school is alone in the middle of Dongjiang River, with no help from your side. Moreover, our army is ten times stronger than his, so no matter how strong the school army is, will he be able to reverse the disparity in power? "

Huang Renhuan also shook his head: "My army is suppressing the territory, if we force the enemy to not fight, then wouldn't that mean that others will laugh to their deaths, the prestige of a kid like Huang Po, saying that you are afraid of the school army?"

Lin Hu rubbed his chin, feeling that what Huang Renhuan had said made a lot of sense. Wouldn't it seem as though he was as useless as the Hong Zhao-Lin if he led a huge army of tens of thousands of soldiers with him? His eyes flashed with light: "Alright, this commander has decided, to let you become the former enemy commander and attack Pnin."

"Yes, Commander, don't worry."

Huang Renhuan replied loudly. He then led the guards and rushed back to the First Division, sending the troops straight to the supplementary pond, the place where Pnin and cotton lake had to pass by.

When Sun Changjun's scouting team arrived at the Zeng Tang Village, which was located a distance away from the cotton lake town, Huang Jie's first row of soldiers passed by a unmarked grave site that was in a scattered formation. All these years, the troops had been in a state of chaos, and natural and human calamities had been unceasing, so just looking at the large tomb in front of them, one could tell that a lot of people had died in this place.

He had just turned around a group of unmarked grave site, and was just about to say unlucky words, when he heard the sound of footsteps and the officer's voice calling out, and raised his head. To his surprise, it was Lin Hu's army in front of him, and the enemies on the opposite side were densely packed on the road.

At this moment, the two sides were only fifty to sixty meters apart. Both of them had suddenly discovered the other side and could no longer avoid it, let alone the fact that both sides were looking for the enemy to fight with.

"Disperse!"

Huang Jie roared at the soldiers behind him, laid down on the side of a grave, picked up his floral organ and started firing at the enemies first with "Da Da Da Da" sounds. At the same time, the opposing First Division also raised his spear and counterattacked.

Intense gunshots exploded like beans in this small village near Zeng Tang's head.

"Da Da!"

The first person to hear the gunshot was Sun Changjun. He dispersed the three platoons to investigate, and as soon as the gunshot rang out, they had to join forces. He took out the gun at his waist and shouted, "Notify the third platoon, hurry and move towards the first platoon."

"Something's wrong!"

Li Boyang's ears moved, he was the first to hear the gunfire in front, he was not alarmed, but was happy as he spurred his horse forward and roared: "The target is 500 meters ahead, I order the Radix Aconiti to take over, the Kowloon is acting as the reserve, the octasia and the special forces follow me and attack, pulling out my treasure."

"Yes sir!"

3rd Battalion, whose morale was high, immediately quickened her pace to rush to the center of the group. At the same time, she pulled out two red cloth-wrapped mountain cannons from the middle of the group.

The messenger quickly ran to the companies to give orders, and Li Boyang led his guard squad straight to the front lines.

When they arrived at the mouth of the canal, the battle was very intense. When the enemy saw that there were not many scouts, they immediately sent three battalions to surround them from the left and right.

Fortunately, Li Boyang had led his troops to provide support, and Li Boyang had ordered Lan Yundong to lead a special task force to seize the Northwest high mountain slope behind unmarked grave site, and had ordered Vice Battalion Commander Yang Houqing to take over the right side of the plateau, personally leading the octasia to support the enemy in their assault on unmarked grave site.

It was a long, narrow plateau in the shape of a horse's head, leading east-west. The terrain of the hills made the battle unfold on the long, narrow slopes and at the bottom of the ditches.

When Li Boyang arrived with his troops, he saw that the mountains were densely packed with enemy troops, at least ten thousand in number.

Fortunately, the scouting team was located at the entrance of unmarked grave site, which was narrow on the outside but wide on the inside. Once the three platoons of the scouting team were gathered, a heavy machine gun's firepower would firmly block the enemy.

On the northwest side of the area that the Special Task Force had just occupied, at least one battalion of enemies were rushing forward with guns and shouts, only twenty to thirty meters away from the top. At such a short distance, the Special Task Force could not rely on their advantage to stop the enemy.

"Attack with a bayonet!"

Lan Yundong immediately made the appropriate decision. He had been under Li Boyang for a long time now, and Li Boyang's leadership style had already penetrated into his heart, using Li Boyang's words, Lin Hu's troops were a motley crowd. When fighting against such enemies, one could fight quickly, but not slowly.

Therefore, Lan Yundong decided not to bother with the twenty metres distance and brought the Special Task Force to fight with the people on the other side to see what kind of teeth they had.

The enemy Battalion Commander had already noticed that the Revolutionary Army only had one company of troops guarding the highlands, and the troops he was leading were about to reach the top. He had already predicted the outcome of the battle, and that was that the Revolutionary Army would be eaten by one of his battalions.

"Brothers, go up. The commander said that you will reward Hai Yang 10 yuan for killing a Whampoa Academy Army."

Under the encouragement of the ocean, the enemy army lowered their heads and rushed to the high ground. Just as they were four or five steps away from the top of the mountain, they heard a resounding sound of a charge signal blowing from the high ground.
