"Let them in." Tian Songyao immediately asked the guards to bring them in. Ever since he heard that Bai Lang had sent a contact person, he had been waiting for these people for a long time.

Soon two obsequious middle-aged men walked into the room, and the guard who led the way pointed to Tian Songyao and said, "This is our teacher. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Hearing the guard's words, the two were obviously taken aback, and one of them said, "Aren't you Mr. Chen who came to the camp last time?"

"You are talking about Chen Hu, right? He is the commander of the Special Warfare Division, and I am the commander of the No. 18 Mountain Infantry Division of the Dashu People's Army." Tian Songyao replied with a smile.

The two looked at each other in dismay, No. 18 division, how many troops does the Shu army have.Hearing that this is also the commander of the Shu Army, the middle-aged man continued to cup his hands and said, "My lord, Li Hongbin, this is Wang Xinchuan, and we are all leaders under Brother Bai Lang. This time we hope to contact your army and join us Shu army."

"Go to us?" Tian Songyao frowned slightly.According to Zhao Shouhong's original plan, these rebellious guys should seek help.But now the other party wants to join the Shu army, which is beyond his authority.

"I can't answer you. I don't have the right." Tian Songyao shook his head and said, "But I can promise to report to my superiors. Governor Zhao will come to Luonan for inspection in the near future, and he will make a decision at that time. Before that, you must accept us. I will give you corresponding treatment, at least you can have enough food and guarantee absolute safety."

The two felt sad when they heard Tian Songyao's previous words, thinking that the Bailang rebels would have no chance of surviving this time, but the latter words rekindled their hope.

"If we come to Luonan County now, can we get the protection of your army?" Wang Xinchuan asked.

"Of course, we always do what we say." Tian Songyao agreed without hesitation.

Li Hongbin was still a little worried: "But there are tens of thousands of Northern Territory troops chasing after us. What about these people?"

Tian Songyao sneered: "Now Plateau Province is the territory of our Great Shu Army. No matter what force it is, if it dares to invade Plateau Province, it must be prepared to be wiped out, even the Northern Region Army is no exception."

The two were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately said: "Let's go back and reply to Brother Bai Lang, and let him lead the team to Luonan to surrender immediately."

"Alright, you go and come back quickly, I will help you stop the pursuers behind." Tian Songyao nodded.

Li Hongbin and Wang Xinchuan knew that the situation was urgent and they couldn't allow them to dawdle too much, so he went back that day.A day later, the two returned to Bai Lang's army. After learning about Tian Songyao's attitude, Bai Lang was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the rebel army to speed up and march towards Luonan County.

The Bailang army advanced along the river valley, and they soon entered the plateau province.Just after stepping into the plateau province, the vanguard of Bai Lang's army saw a large stone tablet by the roadside, and quickly reported the situation to Bai Lang.After receiving the report, Bai Lang and several leaders, who were walking in the middle of the team, quickened their pace and came to the front of the team. They gathered around the stone tablet.

Bai Lang came from a wealthy family who could read and write. He was startled when he saw this stele. It turned out that it said 'those who lead troops into Shaanxi without authorization will die'.Bai Lang asked: "Have you two connected with the Shu army? Why is there such a stone tablet on the side of the road? If we go further, we won't be ambushed."

Li Hongbin said: "Brother White Wolf, it's not that serious. It is estimated that this stele was used by the Shu Army to warn the Northern Region Army, and it has nothing to do with us. Besides, we have already obtained the permission of Master Tian Songyao. Lingkou Town, the agreed pick-up location, is dozens of miles away, I think we should hurry on our way."

Bai Lang thought about it, and now if he didn't move forward, there would be no other way out, so he had no choice but to take a gamble.Soon Bai Lang's army was on the road again, heading towards Lingkou Town.Two hours later, the second mixed brigade led by Sun Chuanfang also arrived here.The vanguard's vanguard also discovered the stele and immediately reported the situation to Sun Chuanfang.

Hearing the content of the stele, Sun Chuanfang smiled contemptuously: "The Shu army has such a big tone. No one in Hualan today dares to treat the Northern Army like this. Send a few more companies to scout around. As long as I don't fall into an ambush, I will Don't be afraid of the Shu army." Sun Chuanfang's order was quickly carried out, and although the Northern Region Army was a little careful during the march, they did not slow down their marching speed.

At this time, Bai Lang had led 3 rebels to the outside of Lingkou Town. Seeing the layers of fortifications outside the town, Bai Lang took a breath.He who has experienced many battles can see that under such tight fortifications, even if he is given [-] troops, he will not be sure of breaking through.

Chapter 526 Special Operations

Before Bai Lang could express his emotions, he was welcomed into the town by a regiment leader who came to greet him, and the three thousand rebels were also arranged to rest in a safe rear. They will enjoy their first hot meal in several months meal.

"Bai Lang pays homage to Mr. Tian." After seeing Tian Songyao, Bai Lang quickly bowed down.Tian Songyao hurriedly helped Bai Lang up and said with a smile: "Boss Bai Lang doesn't need to be polite. Now it's the Republic of China, and we don't want to be like Hou Jin. From now on, we will be our own brothers, and we will not treat our people badly. Everyone Go eat and sleep first, and after I have dispatched the pursuers, I will take you to see Dudu Zhao."

"We don't need to rest. We can also contribute to the Northern Territory Army." Bai Lang thought that since he was new here, he always wanted a welcome gift, so he immediately expressed his willingness to join the battle.

Tian Songyao shook his head and said: "You have been trekking for several months, and the physical strength of the soldiers has reached its limit. Letting them fight will only increase casualties. Don't worry, as long as we are here, no number of Northern Territory troops will be able to fight." What Tian Songyao said was very confident, so Bai Lang had no choice but to agree.

After sending Bai Lang away, Tian Songyao said to the correspondent beside him: "It's almost time, send a report to Captain Xiao, it's time to prepare for the welcome ceremony." While speaking, the corner of his mouth curled into a strange arc.

At this time, Xiao Jun is leading the Second Regiment of the Special Warfare Division to closely monitor the movement of the Northern Territory Army. This is to ensure the victory of the battle. Zhao Shouhong has specially strengthened the special forces here. They will be used as early warning and a means of weakening the enemy in advance.

"Regimental Commander, Master Tian sent us a report." A special soldier said excitedly.

Xiao Jun smiled slightly: "Great, first ask how the sentinels in the border area are doing? How many Northern Territory troops have come?"

"I've already asked. As far as this unit is concerned, other Northern Territory troops have stopped in the border area." The special forces replied.

"It's a little less, but it's barely enough." Xiao Jun licked his dry lips subconsciously and said, "Order the teams to act according to the plan, don't show mercy."

"Understood." The special soldier in charge of communication immediately sent a report.Ten minutes later, a battle unprecedented in Hualan's history began.

Sun Chuanfang rode on the horse and walked leisurely in the middle of the team, not knowing at all that the danger was approaching.Six companies were released in advance as a flanking search force. Sun Chuanfang believed that he was safe, even if the Shu army had set up an ambush, he could find it in advance.

According to Sun Chuanfang's idea, he will use these elite soldiers and powerful generals under his command to teach the Shu army an unforgettable lesson.He even had a glimmer of expectation in his heart, as long as he defeated the Shu army, led the large troops behind to break into the plateau province and occupy Xi'an, and then attack the Western Region province and Zhongchuan, his first achievement would be considered solid.When the time comes, he will be rewarded for his merits, at least he can get a teacher, or even a governor of a province.

Thinking about how many divisions the Northern Army has now, he seems to feel that he has become a pivotal task for the Northern Army. In the future, he will become a famous general with the same reputation as Feng Guofu, Duan Ruiquan and others, and become President Yuan's right-hand man.He seemed to see himself wearing a general's uniform, and the golden general's epaulets dazzled his eyes.

Just when Sun Chuanfang was dreaming of being promoted, a sudden gunshot came from the front, and the marching Northern Territory Army stopped at the side of the road.The Second Mixed Brigade deserved to be the elite soldiers drawn from various ministries. When they encountered a sudden attack, they immediately dispersed to both sides of the road, forming combat teams one by one to observe the surrounding enemy situation.

Soon the report came up. The pioneer company searching in front was attacked by cold guns, and a platoon leader was killed.Sun Chuanfang scoffed at this report. In his opinion, it was a sign of the cowardice of the Shu army.If the opponent has enough troops, it is impossible to use such means to scare oneself.In his opinion, this kind of sniping is only for scaring people.

Ordering all the troops to step up reconnaissance, the army set off again. Of course, in order to avoid being the target of cold guns, Sun Chuanfang decided to dismount and walk. After all, such targets are much smaller.Looking at the Northern Territory Army advancing again, Xiao Jun sneered, he pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet again, and aimed his two-handed flat end rifle at a platoon leader of the search force.

Zhao Shouhong realized the value of sniper tactics because of the combat experience of the Third Special Operations Regiment in Yanger Mountain last time, so he then ordered Zhongchuan Armory to develop a new rifle for the Special Operations Division.This special rifle, named the Type [-] sniper rifle, basically adopted the structure of the Type [-] rifle, but in order to make the trajectory more stable, increase the power of the bullet and increase the range, the barrel was lengthened by [-] centimeters.In addition, these sniper rifles are all equipped with triple optical sights. These lenses are all from the Carl Zeiss Guanghai City branch factory jointly established by the Guangming Group and the Teutonic State. They are the latest products in the factory.

Having a high-quality rifle with precision workmanship and a high-quality Carl Zeiss scope makes the special forces even more powerful, and now one-third of their soldiers have switched to this sniper rifle.Xiao Jun was using exactly such a rifle, and he aimed at the front seemingly casually, and as he pulled the trigger in his hand, the platoon leader of the Northern Territory Army fell down in response.

"It's the second one." Xiao Jun chuckled, and immediately moved his team with him.At this time, gunshots rang out one after another nearby, which meant that other sniper teams also started to attack.The continuous gunshots echoed in the valley, and the northern army who could not find the enemy was killed one after another, which not only made them a little scared.Although known as the strongest army in the country, the Northern Territory Army has never encountered such a sniper tactic.

Sun Chuanfang was almost going mad with anger. With every gunshot, some of his low-ranking officers were killed. In just half an hour, more than 40 officers below the company commander were killed.However, when marching in complex terrain, Sun Chuanfang really had no good way to prevent this from happening. In the end, he had to order all the officers to remove all the certificates identifying the officers on their bodies, and at the same time ordered the subordinate soldiers not to salute the officers to avoid being detected by the other party. .

After such an order was passed on, it really received good results. At least the snipers could no longer tell which was an officer and which was a soldier.Xiao Jun did not give up the attack because of this, even if he killed the opponent's soldiers, it had great tactical significance, at least he could slow down the opponent's advance speed and kill the living forces at the same time.

Special forces have different configurations when performing different tasks, and these are taught by the bioman instructors.

Chapter 527 Artillery Advantage

According to the regulations in the special forces manual, they are all divided into teams of three when conducting sniper operations.In this team, there is a sniper who is responsible for attacking, another observer and enemy fighter who uses a submachine gun and is equipped with a high-powered telescope, and the last one is an attacker who uses a mortar or grenade. area of ​​the enemy.

More than 100 such sniper teams ambushed on the mountains on both sides. Relying on the complex terrain, they sneered at the Northern Territory Army and effectively killed the enemy.But the Northern Territory Army didn't have any intention of stopping their advance. They were still advancing quickly and didn't stop because of encountering cold shots.

Seeing that the effect of cold guns was limited, the gunners of each group took action, and they quickly started cold guns.As the continuous explosions sounded in the marching team, Zisun Chuanfang couldn't ignore it now. He immediately dispatched three times the number of people and expanded the search area, so as to separate the special forces outside and prevent the marching brigade from being attacked. Attack, but in this way, the search troops responsible for covering the flanks were in bad luck. When the Northern Territory Army came to the outskirts of Lingkou Town, the ten companies responsible for covering the casualties exceeded [-]%.

When Sun Chuanfang saw the layers of fortifications outside Lingkou Town, he couldn't help but gasped.The Northern Territory Army was forced to stop, and they formed a battle formation five kilometers away from the Shu Army's position, preparing to launch an attack.

Of course, the Northern Territory Army cannot attack other armies indiscriminately. Sun Chuanfang needs a reason.Although he knew well that the other party had done the cold gun just now, he couldn't get angry if he didn't catch the handle, and now is his best chance to take revenge.

Three officers and soldiers were sent to the front of the position holding white flags. Among them, the company commander with the highest official position pulled his neck at the Shu army position and shouted: "We are from the second mixed brigade of the Northern Territory Army. We were ordered to chase the rebels here. Brothers in the Shu Army, please do me a favor. When we capture the rebels, you will also be rewarded."

Soon someone on the Shu Army's position also shouted: "Brothers of the Northern Territory Army, this is already the defense area of ​​the Shu Army. We are responsible for defending the soil, and we cannot let you pass. I advise you to go back quickly to avoid misunderstandings between the two sides. .”

"Brothers, we are here on the order of President Yuan Da. If you stop us, you will be disobeying the president's order and you will lose your head." The company commander of the Northern Territory Army still did not give up.

The person on the opposite side shouted: "We only know Governor Zhao, but not President Yuan. Now Gaoyuan Province is the defense zone of our Shu army. I believe you have seen the sign on the road to the province. If you go one step further, don't blame us. You are welcome."

Seeing the other party's resolute words, the three negotiators of the Northern Territory Army had no choice but to go back and report.Hearing that the other side did not allow them to pass, Sun Chuanfang sneered and said: "This is just right, lest I go deep alone. Now I will try their strength here. Order the troops to deploy immediately and prepare to launch an attack."

After receiving Sun Chuanfang's order, the first regiment first launched a charge formation, and the two artillery battalions of the mixed brigade immediately found a position nearby to build artillery positions. Thirty-two 32mm mountain guns were quickly deployed on the high ground, completing all preparations for combat.

Following Sun Chuanfang's order, 32 76mm mountain cannons roared, and the dense shells fell on the Shu army's position, causing clouds of smoke and dust. The No.18 Mountain Infantry Division has just been formed, and the heavy equipment has not yet been assigned. Although they have a lot of heavy weapons in the previous independent brigade, there are not many mountain guns with a caliber of 76 mm.

In addition to the newly formed infantry regiment having no artillery, the artillery battalions directly under the other two regiments together only have sixteen 76mm mountain guns.As for artillery at other levels, except for the 57mm infantry artillery, it is a mortar, and its range cannot be compared with the 76mm mountain artillery.

The Shu army, which had been prepared for a long time, did not have many casualties. They had already hid in the artillery holes before the artillery of the Northern Army started shelling.These anti-blasting holes are made of rough wood and covered with a thick layer of soil. They have no pressure against 76mm shells. Therefore, the Northern Army shelled for a long time, but it actually had no effect.
