Ming Zuo

Taking Guihua City immediately put the Wehrmacht on the western front at ease.At the same time, through Guihua City as the starting point, enter the Houtao Plain.

It can be said that with the fulcrum of Guihua City, the Hetao area is already in the pocket of the National Defense Forces.

Moreover, using the existing city of Guihua City, the Second Cavalry Division can also get a good rest in the coming winter.

In this way, the national defense force only needs to do a good job of defense in the north and monitor Khalkha Mongolia, which greatly saves troops.

At this point, the entire northern combat plan has temporarily come to an end.

As the first snow fell, the northern strategic cluster and the northwest strategic cluster began to enter the repair stage.

The eyes of the center and the high command shifted from north to south to the southwest region.

After capturing Sichuan, the Sixth Front Army has been taking no time to recover all parts of northern Sichuan, and at the same time preparing for the march into western and southern Sichuan.

According to Zuo Rong's report, the Sixth Front Army will be back in action next February.

Although there are no strong enemies in western Sichuan and southern Sichuan, the steep geographical environment and rising altitude will be a severe test for the National Defense Forces.

The Tenth Division has even started high-altitude training in the high mountain area west of Chengdu, in preparation for the future march to the plateau.

It is the Seventh Front Army that has already launched operations.

Knowing that the Annan Mochao invaded Guangxi and the people were tortured, the Seventh Front Army was dispatched quickly.

The first division quickly crossed the border and marched into Guangxi after learning that the small imperial court of Canming had escaped.

With the help of the convenient waterway of the Xiangjiang River and the plains on both sides, the first division marched very quickly.

Quanzhou fell without a fight, and the defenders of Xing'an quickly chose to surrender after the city wall was blown down.

After all, even the imperial court has run away, how can the soldiers below still have the will to fight?

In just seven days, the National Defense Forces captured Guilin and captured the northern gate of Guangxi.

Emperor Yongli and the Nanming court who had fled to Liuzhou were terrified when they heard the speed of the National Defense Army's advance.Not daring to stay for a moment, he fled westward.

They originally planned to flee to Qingyuan Mansion to wait and see the situation, but now they felt terrified, so they decided to go directly to Yunnan to meet Mu Tianbo.

Faced with such an opponent, the Wehrmacht's greatest enemy has instead become a long and rugged march.

However, compared with the first division, the No.15 division has been in battle.

After the No.15 division entered Wuzhou from Gaozhoufu and Luodingzhou, it has been encountering resistance.

The chieftains in this area are rampant, and all of them are rebellious, just like the emperor of the earth.

The local Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups had conflicts with the Han people, and they resisted fiercely under the instigation of the chieftain.

The chieftains in these places even boasted that they would use wolf soldiers to expel the National Defense Forces.

"Since they are stubborn, let's not be polite. Tell the ministries to let go of the beating until they are convinced."

Yan Hongshan, the commander of the No.15 Division, is a well-known fierce general. The more intense the enemy's resistance, the happier he is.

Because these are all real combat exploits.

The No.15 division was the latest to be established, and it is a veritable little brother. It must be honed through more battles.

Although the Guangxi wolf soldiers have been famous in the past years, they were even relied on by the Ming Dynasty.But in the end it was nothing more than an army of chieftains with primitive fighting methods.In addition to brutality, the rest is not worth mentioning.

Even if it is fighting locally, how can it be compared with the National Defense Forces?
The complex and changeable terrain in Guangxi, on the contrary, is more able to hone the No.15 Division's ability to deal with various environments.

After all, the goal of the National Defense Forces is not only Guangxi, but also Annan.

Following Yan Hongshan's order, the No.15 Division changed its previous soft appearance and showed strong combat effectiveness.

After the 57th regiment captured Yulin, local wolf soldiers fled into the mountains one after another, hoping to rely on the familiar terrain to resist stubbornly and cause trouble for the National Defense Forces.

The 57th Regiment remained unmoved, and firmly blocked all the exits down the mountain, and then cooperated with the local government in Yulin to divide the land into households, disintegrating the relationship between ordinary people and chieftains.

A large number of Han, Zhuang, and Yao people were relieved of their slave status, regained their freedom, and were allocated land and compensation from the chieftain's property. They immediately changed their positions.

Some of these people's families were young and strong who served as wolf soldiers in the chieftain's army.

Then they came forward and quietly contacted their relatives, informed the empire's policy, and quickly shook and disintegrated the morale of the wolf soldiers.

In just one month, more than 1000 wolf soldiers fled down the mountain and surrendered to the National Defense Forces.

The Wehrmacht fulfilled its promise and only confiscated their weapons, set them free, and distributed the land according to the population.

People's hearts are rapidly shifting in such competition.

The chieftains hiding in the mountains were all terrified, and they strengthened their control over the wolf soldiers one after another.Those who disobeyed the order even slightly were dealt with by severe torture.

But such an approach made ordinary wolf soldiers more and more alienated.

The wolf soldiers who fled down the mountain before also provided important information to the National Defense Forces.

"Luo Lilang is entrenched on Luojing Mountain. According to the confession of the wolf soldier, there is a secret path leading directly to the village. Luo Lilang has lived in Yulin City before, and has not gone up the mountain for many years. He is not familiar with the mountain environment. This path was spontaneously opened up by the wolf soldiers who went up the mountain to cut firewood all the year round, we can follow this path and catch him by surprise.”

The greatness of the mass work was quickly reflected.

The local chieftain, Luo Lilang, thinks that fighting in his hometown can use his status as a local snake to suppress the National Defense Forces, a dragon crossing the river.

But he, who has lost the hearts of the people, has no idea that the Wehrmacht already knows him well.

In order to cooperate with the 57th regiment, the sixth squadron of the second special brigade was also dispatched.

The squadron leader Jing Wencheng is very decisive.

"That's how it is. Your 57th Regiment will attack from the front and cover our Sixth Squadron from this path. The colored signal flares are the standard. When you see the colored signal flares, it means that we have already entered the cottage."

The battle plan was drawn up, and the two armies went their separate ways.

After the 57th regiment arrived at the foot of Luojing Mountain, it quickly launched a strong attack.

The terrain here is really complicated and steep. The chieftain army commanded by Lori Lang is entrenched in various key passes, condescending to counterattack, making the 57th regiment fight very hard.
However, the weapons of the 57th regiment also caused heavy losses to the wolf soldiers.
After three days of repeated battles between the two sides, Lo Lilang lost all his positions on the hillside and had to retreat to Kowloon Bay.

There is only one way up and down the mountain in this place, and the nine-turn ileum is extremely narrow, with high hillsides on both sides.

Standing below can't see the situation above at all, and the people on the top only need to throw stones at will, which can cause huge damage to the attacker below.

However, thinking that the Sixth Squadron had already begun to lurk, the 57th Regiment was not afraid of difficulties and still launched a strong attack.
