Yang Liandong’s step-by-step nibbling tactics have also achieved great success. In the strategy of boiling frogs with warm water, the defenders in the central area of the second brigade of the enemy garrison died … unconsciously, the defense zone has been lost and there is no way to evacuate backwards.
Chapter 2517 Siege
More than six o’clock in the morning
The remnants of the second garrison brigade of Gu Taixian’s department have been withdrawn from Qufu City, while Yang Liandong’s troops are in hot pursuit. The area less than 20 kilometers southwest of Qufu City is tantamount to taking over the siege.
The first garrison brigade of Gu Taixian’s department was almost wiped out by four regiments of Daya. Both sides suffered a lot in this battle, but the good center line of the battlefield was that Daya controlled the follow-up troops of the Sichuan Army, and even the soldiers of Li Shihong’s artillery brigade came from the rear with guns to support them.
The large-scale fighting in the first brigade defense zone about 20 kilometers northeast of Qufu city has ended.
Daya ordered the guard company and Li Shihong to increase the number of troops near the defense zone to show a three-foot search, and finally captured Gu Shen, the brigade commander of the first garrison brigade, at seven o’clock in the morning.
Gu Shen is Gu Taixian’s son and Gu Yan’s cousin. He was also a new generation leader who supported the unification of the old triangle battlefield and the hot-blooded youth area.
But in the end, he chose a different road from Chen Junxuan. He didn’t have Jun Chen’s age, experience and personality, and he was not so independent. He was Gu Taixian’s only admiration for his father. He finally took the position of the League and opposed Lin Yaozong’s coming to the stage.
After being arrested, Gu Shen looked lonely and was handcuffed to the trench without saying a word.
Daya came over and said after a long silence, "I wouldn’t hate you so much if you weren’t Gu Gudi."
Gu Shen slowly looked up at him and replied in a low voice, "It’s not what I want to see now … Forget it, it’s true. I’ll accept the result if I lose."
Daya hated the League people very much, but Qin Yu promised Gu Yan that this person would be handed over to the latter for treatment. He was silent for a long time before motioning with his hand and saying, "Send him back to Yanbei."
"Yes!" The guard company responded.
Daya once again made "Yang Liandong Division prepare to attack Qufu City"
"Yes!"
……
The two garrison brigades were directly disabled outside the city, and the troops on the northeast front and the northwest front immediately returned to the base. The current battlefield situation is already an irreversible disadvantage for Gu Taixian’s department.
But Gu Taixian’s department still has money, and there are at least 60,000 troops on the two fronts in the northeast and northwest, and it will take a long time for Qin Yu to quickly pacify this force … There is still a chance for things to turn around.
After a brief video conference, the General Staff directly sent Gu Yan a letter on behalf of everyone.
Letters are roughly like
Gu Taixian’s department can give up Qufu City, but before Qin Yu, they must be allowed to retreat to the border of Xinjiang.
If Qin Yu promises that Gu Taixian will cease fire immediately and support Qin Yu and Lin Yaozong to reinforce Beifengkou to defend foreign enemies.
And promised to give the League a certain military activity area, and the two sides will never fight.
Otherwise, all the troops of the League will fight to the death to defend the last honor of the soldiers.
In the letter, the chief of staff is mixed with many personal emotional factors. For example, he told Gu Yan that the Gu family was at war, and it was doubtful that Gu Yan remembered his classmates’ feelings and uncle’s friendship and tried his best to promote a truce.
This move is really fatal to Gu Yan, because his uncle’s family level has never been sorry for him, and even the other side taught him that a certain meaning is higher than his father.
But Gu Yan also knows that his second uncle is a proud man in his bones, and he will never admit defeat to himself at this time, which means a little begging for mercy.
This is a threat from the United League. It means simply that if you let us live, we won’t fight, so that you can have troops to reinforce the Beifengkou battlefield.
And if you have to fight to the death, these 60,000-odd people will also fight to the death. Then you will miss the opportunity to support Beifengkou and the country will be lost.
