Chapter 337: A Dangerous Place (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The construction scene of tens of thousands of people is very spectacular, the dust raised by digging trenches, like a five-mile-long earth dragon, constantly flipping, from the riverside of about 800 meters east of the county seat, stretching to the northeast of the Maple Ridge, and then from the west of the Maple Ridge under the hill to about 700 meters away under the General Ridge, the generals and colonels of the Dian army on the head of the city are dumbfounded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
"Hateful Gongfei bandits, bullying us without artillery." Wang Jun's adjutant clenched his fists, annoyed.
Li Shilong, who was standing beside him, whispered: "Heavy machine guns can hit." โ
"So what are you waiting for? Put it on and bang the fuck! The muscular adjutant said viciously.
Wang Jun, who was standing in front, turned his head unhappily: "Presumptuous! No one is allowed to move until the artillery positions of the communist army are clarified! โ
All the generals and colonels looked at Adjutant Wang, who was full of unwillingness, and quickly turned their faces away, and continued to talk in a low voice about the purpose of the Red Army's doing, Chief of Staff Zeng Wanzhong didn't want to embarrass Adjutant Wang too much, and promptly told Wang Jun, who had a gloomy face, his guess: "Look at this posture, the Communist (Gongjun) army is likely to fight with us." โ
Wang Jun nodded slightly: "The fortifications outside the city gates in the east and north have basically been flattened by the artillery and mortars of the communist army, and in addition to the ruins and wharves that have been burned to a scorched earth in the south, there is the Ganjiang River with a width of more than 600 meters. โ
"Only the west of Ganxian County was not shelled by the communist (gongjun) army, but after two and a half hours of fighting in the morning, most of the people in the city fled to Ganzhou City through the west gate to avoid trouble, and the more than 1,000 old and weak people who stayed behind were basically poor people who had nowhere to go, and there were not even a few young and strong left, which was quite unfavorable to the defense of our army."
"Perhaps, this is what the Gongjun army is trying to achieve, only by scaring the people of the city away, can they launch artillery bombardments with impunity."
"What can I do now? The north and south lengths of Ganxian County are only two miles, and the east and west are less than three miles wide, if the communist (gongjun) army launches a strong attack after continuous artillery bombardment, our army really has no good way to deal with it, and can only fight with the communist (gongjun) army to consume. โ
Zeng Wanzhong had a headache.
The reason why the Yunnan army is called the Yunnan army is because the vast majority of officers and soldiers are from Yunnan Province on the southwestern border, and it is very difficult to replenish and train, to put it mildly, if you die for one, there will be one less, and the situation in Yunnan Province has changed greatly, and the newly rising forces do not sell Zhu Peide's account, and it is difficult to send people back to their hometowns to recruit soldiers.
For this reason, Zhu Peide, as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, also had to recruit a large number of local young men in Jiangxi Province to form a brand-new garrison division and security regiment to make up for the overstretched troops.
In addition, Zhu Peide has in his hands some local garrison troops that have just been formed and have not yet formed combat effectiveness, not to mention whether he is loyal to Zhu Peide, who belongs to the "magpie's nest dove" in the eyes of the people of Jiangxi Province, whether it can be used at a critical time is a big question mark.
Therefore, in the face of the strong style and strong combat effectiveness of the Communist Army, the Third Army of the Yunnan Army, which had suffered losses one after another, was extremely jealous, and Wang Jun and Zeng Wanzhong were extremely reluctant to use their precious soldiers to fight the Communist army, but the current situation did not allow them to retreat and avoid the battle, otherwise it would be difficult not only to explain to Zhu Peide, but also to the Central Government in Nanjing and Commander-in-Chief Chiang.
Unconsciously, the Third Army of the Yunnan Army not only lost the initiative on the battlefield, but also lost the advantages of geography, people, and people.
"What to do? Do you want to fight with all your might, or do you want to stay out of the way? โ
Wang Jun fell into a painful choice, a trace of remorse and guilt surged in his heart, and suddenly found that he was too big and underestimated his opponent Zheng Yi, at this time he regretted very much that he was stationed in Ganzhou so quickly, and regretted letting go of Yang Chisheng and the four Dian regiments stationed in Ganzhou for two years for the sake of face.
Even if Yang Chisheng's four regiments were temporarily detained, it would be far easier than facing the threat of Zheng Yi's mentor alone now.
Zeng Wanzhong suddenly interrupted Wang Jun's bitter contemplation, pointed to the thousands of people who were retreating one after another in the east, worried: "Look at the military seat, the trenches and fortifications of the Gongfei bandits have been repaired, and it is estimated that they will soon attack our army!" โ
Wang Jun slowly raised his right hand, put it in front of his forehead, covered the dazzling sunlight and looked ahead, and finally stared at the red-hot battle flag on the Maple Ridge in the northeast, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Telescope!" โ
The adjutant behind him hurriedly took out the telescope and handed it forward, Wang Jun took the telescope, adjusted the focus slightly, and raised it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
Before Wang Jun could see clearly, Li Wenbin, the commander of the Ninth Division, who was on the side, had already exclaimed: "I saw that the leader of the Communist (Gongjun) army on the high post in the northeast was also observing us, about two kilometers away, and the young tall man standing in the middle was particularly conspicuous, it was likely to be Zheng Yi, the main general of the instructor!" โ
More than a dozen generals around raised their binoculars one after another, and soon saw a shocking scene:
More than a dozen Red Army generals on the high post in the northeast each had a pair of binoculars, and they were also observing their own direction, and the tall and handsome officer in the middle actually waved his hand to the head of Ganxian County, and behind the trench below the high post, one after another 75 artillery pieces were launched!
Wang Jun suddenly put down his binoculars, gritted his teeth and decisively gave an order: "Pass my order, all regiments of the Seventh Division immediately withdraw from the county seat of Ganxian County and go to Yangmeidu as quickly as possible!" โ
"What? Throne you ......"
Li Shilong was shocked and looked at his commander in disbelief.
Wang Jun stared coldly into Li Shilong's eyes: "Didn't you hear my order?" Don't you see that the communist forces in the east and north are ready to attack? Or do you want to stay here and die? โ
Li Shilong couldn't help but shudder, and immediately rushed down the city without saying a word.
"Stand up, go! Get out of here! The nine guns of the communist army have been launched, let's go! Adjutant Wang screamed, where is there still a trace of arrogance just now?
As soon as Wang Jun was about to reprimand, Zeng Wanzhong, Li Wenbin and others had already rushed forward, grabbed Wang Jun's arm and raised his legs to leave, and several regiment commanders and regiment deputies on the side immediately rushed to their own troops, shouting loudly as they ran: "All assembleโ"
As soon as Wang Jun and more than a dozen other generals rushed down the city, eight mortar shells fired from behind the eastern trenches roared and landed accurately in the area where Wang Jun and the others were standing just now.
"Boom-"
A series of violent explosions and broken bricks and trees flying all over the sky covered the scorching midday sun, and the city heads on both sides of the explosion site were instantly covered with thick smoke, and the more than 10 officers and men of the Third Army who had not had time to escape disappeared.
A bloody thigh with a burning half-cut trouser leg fell from the sky, "bang", and slammed into the ground in front of Wang Jun, and the flying blood and minced flesh "crackled" on Wang Jun's neat and straight military uniform.
Adjutant Wang was so frightened that he screamed, jumped up, and threw Wang Jun under him.
Zeng Wanzhong, the chief of staff who followed on the side, stumbled to the ground, and was immediately pounced on by the two guards behind him, causing a burst of exclamations again.
The hundreds of officers and men who had not yet had time to assemble were suddenly in a mess, but the officers and men of the most elite guard regiment in the whole army were fearless, rushed to Wang Jun and Zeng Wanzhong's side, put their army commander and chief of staff on their horses, and quickly evacuated this dangerous place where shells kept falling.
