Chapter 355: War Begins! Defeat the Tiger Army
In the President's Office in the Central Government Building, Yang Jiakai sighed after hanging up the phone. He looked at Duan Jinshu who was sitting opposite him and said, "The prison called. Qu Guowei is gone."
Duan Jinshu was slightly stunned, and instantly understood what Yang Jiakai meant.
"Among our group of old buddies who fought together to conquer the world, Jiang Dapao and Qu Guowei are the most aggressive. They lead the charge in every battle and have old wounds all over their bodies. Old Duan, tell me, why was it that we were able to go through hardships together in the past, but now that China is rising right before our eyes, none of you are willing to give up the little power you have in your hands?"
Duan Jinshu was silent for a moment, then responded, "The human heart is the most unpredictable and fickle. Old Qu has been in Huzhou for these years, and has become a neighbor of Ma Changfang, who is always the most scheming and profit-oriented. Under the long-term influence, I'm afraid he has long forgotten his original intention."
Watching his old brothers being sent to hell one by one by his own son-in-law, Yang Jiakai's heart was filled with extremely complicated emotions.
Just as Yang Jiakai and Duan Jinshu were reminiscing about the past, Su Zhengyang had already returned to his mansion and issued orders to the Viking Division, Storm Division, and the Fourth Army of the Northwest Revolutionary Army to go directly into battle and take the initiative to attack.
I have already killed Qu Guowei, and the next thing to do is to cut the weeds and eradicate them completely to prevent future troubles.
That night, the Viking Division and the Storm Division officially marched into Huzhou from the northwest and northeast directions. In just one night, they captured Caotan City and Hongze City in the north of Huzhou, sounding the clarion call for a full-scale offensive.
On the southern border of Huzhou, the war between the Fourth Army of the Northwest Revolutionary Army and the Tiger Army officially began.
"Notify the Rocket Regiment to bring Ke Qiusha to the front line and completely blow up the positions of the 14th Division of the Tiger Army!"
"Charge! Brothers, take down the Huzhou Army and take off Qu Chen's head! The Huzhou Army colluded with Fusang and are the sinners of our entire China!"
On the battlefield, the two sides launched an extremely fierce confrontation. As the top ace troops of the entire Huzhou Army, the 14,15,16th, th and th divisions under the Tiger Army are all top-notch Northwestern men who have experienced many battles and have strong personalities.
Most of the taxes Qu Guowei received from Huzhou every year were invested in the army, which made the entire Huzhou Army famous for its strong combat effectiveness and tough style. As the first elite division of the Huzhou Army, the Tiger Army, from firearms to artillery, are all purely imported high-quality products. The number of artillery has reached more than 105, including even 150MM howitzers and even MM heavy artillery.
There was continuous artillery fire, bullets flying everywhere, and the roars and shouts of both sides resounded throughout the battlefield. There were charred shell craters everywhere, mixed with corpses and broken arms, and blood flowing everywhere, forming an extremely bloody battlefield picture.
After the two sides fought for a full six hours, the Northwest Revolutionary Army's Fourth Army finally gained an absolute advantage. Whether in terms of equipment, number of personnel, or momentum, the Northwest Revolutionary Army had formed a crushing posture.
The Tiger Army was able to hold out for a full six hours under continuous heavy firepower attacks in a position without any fortifications, which was enough to be proud of.
It is a pity that today's tough and swift elite troops, instead of shed blood and sweat on the battlefield to resist foreign enemies, have raised their guns against their own people, which is really regrettable.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Tiger Army began to retreat. Qu Chen immediately ordered the two army-level combat units of Huzhou, the 6th Army and the 5th Army, to rush to the front line to provide support and temporarily halt the offensive of the Northwest Revolutionary Army.
To make matters worse, just when Qu Chen was upset and worried about the defeat of the Tiger Army, news came from the fall of cities in the northern part of Huzhou.
The Viking Division and the Storm Division marched southward from the grassland border like a hot knife through butter. In just one day and one night, at lightning speed, they had each captured three cities.
"Young Marshal, more than half of the 4th Army stationed in the northern part of Huzhou has been destroyed, and two division-level combat units have been wiped out. Now the 4th Army Command has completely lost contact with us. According to the last news they sent, it was the Viking Division and the Storm Division under Su Zhengyang that entered Huzhou!"
Qu Chen slapped the table anxiously. On the battlefield in the northeast, the names of Su Zhengyang's four ace troops had long been known throughout the northern border, but Qu Chen had not expected that Su Zhengyang had secretly mobilized the Viking Division, which should still be in the northeast, through the grassland and to the northern part of Huzhou.
Caught off guard, the two ace troops actually brought such serious losses to the Huzhou Army, which was simply hard for him to accept.
"Tell Watson! If he can't stop the Fourth Army of the Northwest Revolutionary Army, he won't have to come back! Damn it, Su Zhengyang killed my father, I will make him pay with blood!"
After Su Zhengyang personally ordered the execution of Qu Guowei, in order to anger the reckless Qu Chen, Su Zhengyang immediately called Qu Chen who was in Jingyang City, and told Qu Chen the news of Qu Guowei's death on the phone.
As Su Zhengyang expected, after learning of his father's death, Qu Chen, against all odds, sent troops across the border and occupied the Ganzhou-Huzhou border area. He then set up a defensive position on the spot. The Fourth Army then launched a direct counterattack, and in one go, dealt a heavy blow to the so-called Tiger Army, causing the Tiger Army, which had always been arrogant and felt they were invincible, to pay a heavy price.
Now, the remaining 5 troops of the entire Tiger Army have fled back to Huzhou in a panic, and with the assistance of the 6th and th Armies, they are guarding the southern border of Huzhou. However, the Viking Division and the Storm Division in the north of Huzhou have already taken steps to attack the heartland of Huzhou to the south, making the entire Huzhou Army unable to take care of both ends and in chaos.
"What Tiger Army? I think it's nothing but a paper tiger! The Governor gave us half a month. In my opinion, we only need seven days to capture Jingyang City and take Qu Chen's head off."
In the headquarters of the Assault Regiment of the 111th Division of the Fourth Army, Zhuo Mingxuan looked at the map in front of him with great pride. Since joining the Northwest Revolutionary Army, this invincible momentum of being victorious in every battle and conquering every attack made Zhuo Mingxuan deeply understand what a truly invincible army is.
Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head and said, "The central area of Huzhou is full of hills and gullies. It is difficult for us to transport our heavy artillery, even vehicles and self-propelled rocket launchers. The Viking Division, which is mainly composed of armored units, will also encounter huge obstacles. Going north from Nanhuang City is the real problem facing us."
"In fact, the Tiger Army's combat effectiveness, willpower, and battlefield adaptability are even better than ours. The reason why they were defeated so quickly is because our heavy firepower and new equipment have too much advantage. A round of rocket launchers can directly break their entire regiment's defense position. Without the support of heavy firepower, it will be a real challenge."
