Chapter 164: A Tragic Victory (Subscription Requested)
At the same time that the two armies of the enemy and our army on the front line of Huangshaping were fighting each other in a short battle, Chaling City, eight kilometers to the southeast, was also in the midst of a fierce battle. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Jingting led more than 900 soldiers to sweep away all the resisting enemies with a huge advantage, and immediately after occupying the ferry, he set up all mortars and carried out round after round of continuous artillery bombardment on the east and north towers of Chaling.
Zhao Jingting, who took the lead, personally led two infantry battalions to forcibly cross the Huanjiang River, braved the dense rain of bullets fired from the city wall, rushed at high speed to the closed east gate, threw out dozens of grenades from a distance of dozens of meters, and then did not slow down, fearlessly rushed into the city gate cave with gunsmoke billowing from death, and crashed headlong into the chaotic Chaling City in the continuous explosion of mortar shells.
"Get out of the way! Get lost! Have the strength to kill the enemy! β
Zhao Jingting, who was pressed at the foot of the city wall by two guards, shouted in a hurry, pulled out his hand and tore off the blood-stained gauze wrapped around his head, quickly replaced the empty magazine of the flower machine gun, and let the blood on his head flow all over his head: "Did the first battalion occupy the north gate?" β
"Report to the regiment commander, the enemy rushed to the south gate like crazy and fled out of the city, to chase or not to chase?" The commander of the second battalion came panting and came to report.
Zhao Jingting immediately scolded: "Yao Shengwu, who is said to be a dog, has become more and more timid after fighting for so many years, you fucking chase me out immediately, otherwise Lao Tzu will withdraw you!" β
"Go, go, go! Kill gods when you see gods, kill ghosts when you see ghosts, and don't leave a single captive! β
"Yesβ"
The sturdy Yao Shengwu didn't have time to wipe away the gunpowder smoke on his face, ran to the war horse and turned over, leading the guards to quickly run to the south gate.
Zhao Jingting walked quickly to the war horse on the side, suddenly felt unwell, turned around and shouted loudly: "Little Wu, come here, come over and wrap your head...... Margobi's, blood covered his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly...... What about the special service detachment and the division headquarters supplementary company? Where did they go? β
Tao Zhuguo, the political commissar of the regiment who came quickly, replied happily: "I went to the county government in the west, and I moved very fast, and it was very likely that I would catch a few big fish." β
Zhao Jingting looked very impatient, stomped his feet and said: "Hey, it is estimated that the enemy in the city has already escaped, where are there any big fish, but the division commander is worried about me!" β
"What to do? Or send a battalion over? β
Although Tao Zhuguo graduated from the political science department of the fifth phase of Huangpu, his military foundation is quite solid, and when he heard it, he thought that Zheng Yi's side was likely to encounter difficulties, if he could not defeat several times more enemies, even if he finally occupied Chaling City, it would only be a disastrous victory of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of himself.
The more Zhao Jingting thought about it, the more uneasy he became, he glanced left and right, and suddenly said: "In this way, I will immediately bring a battalion to support, and you stay to control Chaling City, remember, even if there is the last person left, you must nail Lao Tzu in the city!" β
Tao Zhuguo immediately agreed: "Listen to you, unless I die, you will definitely see me standing on the city tower when you come back!" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Zhao Jingting and Tao Zhuguo did not know at this time, and their impromptu decision played a decisive role in the final victory of this battle.
At 1:20 p.m., the officers and men of the 1st Battalion led by Zhao Jingting marched to the foot of Yunyang Mountain, 3 kilometers northeast of Chaling, and ran headlong into the remnants of the 2nd Regiment led by the enemy division commanders Yan Zhongru, Lu Jingzong, and Zhu Zhongchu, who had fled back.
The effect of the instructor's long-term and rigorous training is vividly reflected at this critical moment.
After meeting on the narrow road, the soldiers of the first battalion led by Zhao Jingting not only took the lead in firing, but also quickly seized the only high ground within the 400-meter gorge, and soon set up eight light and heavy machine guns, and launched a frantic strafing fire on the enemy who rushed forward under black pressure, and the enemy fell like wheat harvesting, and the balance of victory quickly tilted in favor of the instructor.
There is a saying that God is unfair, and the folk proverb "good people don't live long, but wicked people live for a thousand years" that countless people hate, was fulfilled again at this moment.
Seeing that the enemy was shot and killed on the uncovered gorge, hundreds of surviving enemies did not hesitate to throw away their weapons and jump into the icy river in order to survive, but the regiment commander Zhu Zhongchu was lucky enough to grab a fishing boat moored on the shore, and quickly took the enemy division commander Yan Zhongru and Lu Jingzong down the river bank to board the boat and escaped.
After Yang Liding, the fierce commander of the first battalion, found out, he picked up the heavy machine gun next to him and rushed out more than 100 meters, and with a "bang" sound, he directly mounted the heavy machine gun without a tripod on the dirt bag on the riverbank, aimed at the fishing boat that was about to row to the center of the river, and fired continuously, and soon beat the enemy regiment commander Zhu Zhongchu and three officers into a sieve.
It's a pity that Yan Zhongru and Lu Jingzong, who were lying under the corpses, were unharmed.
The fishing boat, whose roof had been torn off by the bullets, swayed down the river, farther and farther away, and finally slowly approached the east bank, where the enemy chieftain Yan Zhongru and Lu Jingzong climbed up the east bank in panic and fled into the reckless mountains to the east under the angry gaze of Yang Liding and hundreds of instructors and soldiers.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After Zheng Yi and Zhao Jingting met, they informed each other of the battle situation on both sides, and there was no time to communicate more, so he immediately ordered Yang Liding, the commander of the first battalion of the second regiment, who was extremely energetic, to be responsible for selecting the brothers of the two companies with better physical strength, and rushed to Shibaoshan in the north to receive the wounded led by Li Zhao and transport back the bodies and all the materials of the sacrificed soldiers.
Zheng Yi and Zhao Jingting commanded the remaining soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then went directly to Chaling City.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, a huge team led by Li Zhao and Yang Liding arrived at Chaling, and immediately sent more than 460 wounded to the Chaling County Ya Compound, which had the best conditions in the city.
The bodies of 422 sacrificed soldiers were neatly parked in the spacious county government compound, and the brothers of each battalion and company, including division commander Zheng Yi and political commissar Li Zhao, cleaned up their bodies and tidied up their remains with tears in their eyes.
In just a few days, Chaling City experienced two wars, at this time there were few pedestrians outside the city, full of desolation, large and small local tyrants and inferior gentry have either already returned to the underworld, or dragged their families to flee, and those who stayed were basically poor people who were bitter and haha, as well as craftsmen from all walks of life.
All the shops in the county are either closed or their shelves are empty, and even the hawkers and vegetable farmers who are hawking along the streets are nowhere to be seen.
Thanks to more than 100 truckloads of food and materials stolen from Youxian, the instructor's officers and soldiers, as well as more than 700 war horses and pack horses, did not starve.
It has to be said that it was an unexpected surprise that more than 100 truckloads of food and supplies, which were originally only used as bait, were able to arrive at Chaling safely, and once again made Zheng Yi and his officers deeply understand the importance of logistics and supply.
