    "I hereby express my gratitude to the guards for their bravery in supervising the battle, conquering key cities and clearing river banks. Their loyalty and bravery are commendable. I will be awarded the title of Major General of the Army and five honorary medals"

    As the Beiyang Army units arrived in Luzhou one after another, under the cover of absolutely superior artillery, Xu Wei led his troops to cross the Yangtze River and counterattack Lantianba.  The defense offensive was suppressed and they retreated in succession.  In order to reverse the unfavorable situation of the war, Cai E ordered Liu Cunhou and Zhao You's new echelon regiment to return to Naxi for a temporary rest.

    Because of his military exploits, Xu Wei was officially promoted to at least the rank of general by the central government.

    However, the roads in southern Sichuan were difficult to navigate, and the Beiyang Army entered Sichuan in large numbers. However, they were restricted by the dangerous terrain of Sichuan. After the first few battles, a lot of ammunition and food were consumed. Cai E seized the opportunity to harass the Beiyang Army's logistics and counterattacked Na in three directions.  creek.

    "Regiment seat, the 8th Division's Baggage Regiment sent people over to ask for help, saying that they were attacked by the escort brigade." The war situation was urgent, and Wang Congyun ran over all the way.

    The spring rains are continuous, the roads are muddy, not to mention ordnance, even the supply of military rations is becoming increasingly tight at this time.

    "How many people are there in the enemy army?" Xu Wei asked.

    "About four to five hundred people."

    "Damn it!" Xu Wei wiped the rain from his face. If this continues, it will be extremely difficult not only to fight with the guards, but also to retreat. General Songpo, one of the most shining generals in the Republic of China, will use troops  It's really extraordinary.  Taking advantage of the complex terrain, traces of escorts can be found from time to time in the rear of the Beiyang Army.

    "Fu Guo, you lead the troops to guard here. Don't let any enemy in." Xu Weidao.

    "Yes, group seat!" Xu Shaozeng responded loudly.

    "Ding Dafu, bring your soldiers and follow me." Xu Wei took the lead.

    The drizzling mountains are filled with water vapor, and the shouts of killing are getting closer and closer.

    "Captain Ladder, why did you come here in person?" Dong Hongxun, who was ambushing in the woods near the mountain road, was surprised when he saw Zhao Youxin coming in person.

    "The opponent in front of us is very difficult. The previous commander Liu was driven back to Naxi from Luzhou City. Unless this nail is pulled out, it will be difficult for us to capture Lantian Dam. Capturing Luzhou is extremely important to the situation in Sichuan.  The commander-in-chief personally gave me the order, and I had to pay attention to it. I heard that this man is called Xu Wei, and he has caused great losses to the Guizhou army before." Zhao Youxin smiled and said, "And I also want to see this person who can fight.  The young general Liu Cunhou retreated steadily."

    "The energy of the Beiyang Army has been almost exhausted. When it comes to fighting on the plains, we are no match for the Beiyang Army. However, the terrain in Sichuan is difficult and the transportation of baggage is inconvenient. Without the overwhelming artillery fire, the Beiyang Army will not be able to defeat the Beiyang Army in such a difficult battle."  Under the conditions, they are no match for our Yunnan Army." Dong Hongxun said with a smile.  "That's fine if Xu Wei doesn't come this time. If he does come, the vast green mountains will be the place where his bones are buried."

    "Don't underestimate any opponent." Zhao Youxin said.

    "Captain of the echelon, captain of the detachment, the Northern Dog is here!" The messenger ran over and whispered.  Echelon regiments and detachments are the organizational structure of the Yunnan Army. Echelon regiments are equivalent to brigades and detachments are equivalent to regiments.

    "Okay, pass on the order and be ready to fight at any time." Dong Hongxun was overjoyed.

    "Stop!" Xu Wei led Ding Dafu's battalion to rescue the 7th Division's supply regiment. Along the way, he could hear the shouts of killing from the other side of the mountain. However, the undulating terrain along the way, except for the sound of rain, the two mountains  The surprisingly quiet woods in the middle made Xu Wei feel wary.  It was impossible to tell whether anyone was in the woods as the rain had washed away the tracks on the road.  However, before thinking about victory, they thought about defeat first. The shouts of killing were booming from the opposite side. It was obvious that the battle was still stalemate and the winner could not be determined for a while.  There was no need for Xu Wei to put himself in danger in a hurry.  And not all the things in the baggage group belong to you.

    "Zhang Jing, you lead the first platoon of guards to search the east side. Zheng Qing, you lead the second platoon to search the middle. The third squadron follows me. Ding Dafu is on standby!" Xu Weidao said.

    "Yes, group seat!"

    Soldiers from three platoons sneaked into the woods.

    "Oops, maybe that Xu Wei discovered it." Dong Hongxun saw the soldiers of Ding Dafu's brigade forming a formation to defend the place.  In addition, some soldiers got into the woods and couldn't help but scream.

    "In this kind of weather, we shouldn't be able to find him, but this man's caution in using his troops is really the only thing I've seen in my life." Zhao Youxin's face became serious.

    "Captain Ladder, do you want to fight or not?" Dong Hongxun said.

    "Fight!" Zhao Youxin gritted his teeth. There were mountains everywhere. Zhao Youxin was very familiar with the terrain in this area. The Beiyang Army's advantage in equipment had been equalized by the complex terrain in this area. In addition to just entering Sichuan, the large number of artillery shells carried by the army really made the guards  In addition to the tight military situation, the Beiyang Army was also short of supplies at this time.  After more interactions, the guards at this time were no longer as afraid of the Beiyang Army as before.

    Water dripped from the gaps in the leaves.  Xu Wei led a platoon of soldiers to disperse and advance. War in the mountains and jungles and the confrontation between the two armies on the plains are completely different concepts.  At this time Xu WeiCommanding large-scale battles is still a bit unfamiliar, but when it comes to small team encounters, Xu Wei can be said to be at the forefront of this era.  The guard company is the prototype of the special forces carefully cultivated by Xu Wei.

    In the mountains, there is only the sound of low footsteps from time to time.  The sound of enemy troops could be heard in the distance. Xu Wei made a gesture, and the soldiers dispersed knowingly.

    "Bang!" After the gunshot, there was a scream.

    As the distance between the two armies in the jungle narrowed, the bodyguards fell into the rain one after another.

    Hearing the gunfire, Zhang Jing and Zheng Qing also led people to approach from different directions.  Although the troops did not have an advantage in any direction, Xu Wei, Zhang Jing, and Zheng Qing were like a pack of wolves, dormant around Zhao Youxin's troops, ruthlessly tearing off the enemy from time to time.  A piece of flesh and blood.  The terrain in the woods is not suitable for a large group of soldiers to charge.  Often the enemy army occupies a key pass and if they want to rush forward, they can only use human lives to pile it up.

    Xu Wei directed the soldiers to repel the guards who wanted to rush from his side again and again.  After a while, dozens of corpses were piled up in front.

    Dong Hongxun's heart twitched violently. Unexpectedly, the two armies just came into contact and lost dozens of people without even reaching the opponent's bottom.  I didn't expect that this Beiyang army would be so difficult to deal with in the woods. There was no fierce artillery or strength advantage, but the bullets always hit from tricky angles and were extremely accurate.  This made Dong Hongxun, who had the upper hand, feel extremely frustrated. Although he was powerful, he could not hit the enemy.

    With Zheng Qing and Zhang Jing's two platoons also outflanking him, Zhao Youxin's situation became increasingly difficult.

    "It's so boring to dare to fight with the regiment in the woods in the mountains." Zheng Qing chuckled and used his rifle to kill an enemy soldier in his sight.

    "Captain Ladder, what should I do?" Dong Hongxun was shocked and angry.

    "Retreat to the mountain road and leave here as soon as possible." Zhao Youxin looked extremely ugly. He originally thought this was an opportunity to ambush the Xu Wei regiment.  Unexpectedly, he was beaten to a pulp by Xu Wei with a company of soldiers in the jungle.  You must know that he has ambushed nearly two battalions of troops here.

    "What should we do on the other side of the mountain?" Dong Hongxun asked again.

    "Nothing can be done, retreat." Zhao Youxin exhaled and gave the order with difficulty.
