Chapter 73: Luring the enemy deeper

After more than two hours, the battle finally ended, and with the cooperation of the cavalry, the independent division completely annihilated Zhou Shibin's roundabout troops, and basically did not leave a single person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although a very few escaped from Pingyang, they also lost their way and burrowed into the nearby mountains and forests, either being eaten by wild beasts such as tigers and wolves, or going farther and farther in the mountains and forests and becoming wild people.

Anyway, don't worry, they can find the right direction and escape back in time to report to the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army.

In other words, even if they manage to escape. has also been scared by the killing of the independent division, whether he has the courage to return to the team is two words.

Xu Guoren led the victorious army back to Pingyang, and Chen Zhiyuan hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Old Chen, how is this battle going?" Xu Guoren asked with a smile.

Chen Zhiyuan was also very happy, smiled and gave a thumbs up: "I didn't say it, this battle was very good, I will report to the organization when I go back, and I will take credit for you!" ”

Xu Guoren smiled indifferently: "What do you remember or not, we are just to survive now, everything we do is to survive, we will talk about the merits later, now we will fight a few more battles and get some loot is the most real." ”

Chen Zhiyuan agrees with Xu Guoren's indifference to fame and fortune.

As the two walked towards the city, Xu Guoren asked, "Old Chen, are we okay with our weapons, ammunition and food reserves?" ”

"The weapons and ammunition we have captured before have not been used up, and the materials allocated by the Northeast Army are currently sufficient, and there is no need to worry about food." Chen Zhiyuan's words made Xu Guoren have no worries.

Only when you have enough food and ammunition can you go all out into battle.

Otherwise, you won't have enough food and clothing, and you won't have bullets, so you will kill the enemy with something.

"Although this battle consumed some Liao-style weapons and ammunition, the captured loot is enough to make up for the loss, although it is not common with Liao-made firearms, but it can also be supplemented for my use, because we have Hanyang-made, Czech-style and Jin-made weapons in our hands." Xu Guoren took out half a pack of cigarettes, lit them with Chen Zhiyuan, and talked as he walked.

Chen Zhiyuan smoked a cigarette and nodded with a smile: "No matter what kind of weapon, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, you can kill the enemy." After all, what can pull out pus is a good plaster! ”

"I have already sent someone to pretend to be Zhou Shibin's subordinates to lure the Northwest Army in Chifeng City. But on the side of the Jin Sui army, there is still a lack of a messenger, Chen Lao, do you have a way to spread the news that our army was attacked in Pingyang and the main force was forced to return to help? Lure the Jin Sui army on the Zhengtai line to encircle and suppress the troops to go deep and pursue our lure troops! When he came to the government compound, Xu Guoren stopped and said to Chen Zhiyuan.

Chen Zhiyuan frowned slightly, was silent for a while, and then raised his head and said, "I'll find a way to try it." ”

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Xu Guoren said with a smile.

"They are all revolutionary comrades, what trouble is not trouble!" Chen Lao smiled and reproached: "Don't be so polite in the future." ”

"Hehe, that's fine." Xu Guoren took two puffs of cigarette and said, "By the way, that Zhou Shibin is no big problem, right?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan said: "Don't worry, this kid has a good life, this injury is in the shoulder, not a vital part." And he's physically stronger than the average person, so there's no big problem. ”

"That's good, I'll have to use him to sacrifice the flag when I go back." Xu Guoren said.

"Sacrifice the flag with him? You're going to kill him? Chen Zhiyuan was taken aback, but he didn't expect Xu Guoren to look harmless to humans and animals, but his style of acting was quite resolute and ruthless.

"Yes, I have already let him go once last time, this kid is unrepentant, and he dares to come to beat me Xu someone's attention, for the person who wants to put me to death, of course I can't keep him, otherwise in the future, maybe we will lose the battle, how many brothers will die because of this?" Xu Guoren said awe-inspiringly: "There is an old saying that if you are merciful to your enemies, you are cruel to yourself, Old Chen, you don't want to be kind to a woman." ”

Chen Zhiyuan nodded silently: "Well, what you said makes sense." I just think that Zhou Shibin is a talent, if he hadn't lost in intelligence, he would have really caused us heavy losses. At present, the situation between China and Japan is tense, and the Japanese are wolf-like, Chairman Mao predicted that we and the Japanese will probably have a war sooner or later.

Therefore, the organization will cooperate with all kinds of talents who can be combined so that they can act in the future.

I want to try to persuade Zhou Shibin to join our revolutionary ranks, if it can be successful, it will be a good thing, this kind of professional soldier should not die at the hands of his own people. ”

"Old Chen, I also understand this truth, but the troubled times are like this. Your idea is good, and I'm in favor of you giving it a try, but I don't think there's much hope. At present, the ideological consciousness of the Chinese people is not so high, unless war breaks out immediately between us and the Japanese devils, otherwise you use the national righteousness to influence the enemy, and the possibility of success is very small. Xu Guoren thought to himself, if he waited until the 918 incident broke out, it would really be possible to plot against Zhou Shibin and the Northeast Army that he saved at Xiaoniuzhuang Station last time.

Of course, the premise is that they must all be patriotic soldiers, otherwise it will be useless to say more.

Two days later, Xu Guoren got the news that the two divisions of the Northwest Army's Chifeng City Headquarters and the Jin Sui Army had received the news one after another, and they took the bait.

Among them, in order to seize the first credit, the Chifeng City Department supported the lone Zhou Shibin Department, and even grabbed the front of the Jin Sui Army and arrived at Thirty Miles first.

After discovering that the troops of the independent division here had withdrawn, the whole army accelerated and chased after them all the way.

All this was reconnoitred by the cavalry scouts left on the side of the Second Regiment, and Guo Shiyin sent a telegram to report to Xu Guoren, plus the intelligence of the underground party agents hidden in the 31st Division, Xu Guoren could be said to know the whereabouts of Chifeng City's headquarters well.

The 31st Division of Chifengcheng was originally an army formation, but after the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army, the Jin Sui Army, and even the Northeast Army, which had changed its banner, had to follow the requirements of the Nanjing Nationalist Government and downsize all its troops.

The Northwest Army, which had lost all its strengths, was in an absolutely disadvantaged position in this reorganization.

With the fall of Feng Yuxiang, they who rely on others have no right to speak at all.

Many units have been cancelled, and a small number of units have been seriously reduced in strength after they have been reorganized.

The 31st Division of Chifeng City is the best example, after the downsizing, the headquarters of Chifeng City was organized into three regiments and B divisions, with a total strength of about six or seven thousand people.

In the last battle of the first line of heaven, Zhou Shibin's troops were completely annihilated, resulting in the strength of the 31st Division being sharply reduced to less than 6,000.

Although Chi Fengcheng later recruited some new soldiers and reorganized the 208th Regiment from other regiments, its overall combat effectiveness still declined greatly.

This time, Xu Guoren wiped out more than 2,000 elites drawn from the whole division, and it can be said that the combat effectiveness of Chifeng City's department has been wiped out by more than half of Xu Guoren.

Now there are less than 5,000 people left in the main force of Chifeng City, and nearly 1,000 of them are recruits who have not been in actual combat, and they are not superior to Xu Guoren's independent division in terms of strength.

Weapons and equipment are even more incomparable, Xu Guoren's independent division has accumulated so many victories, and has to supply twice from Zhang Shaoshuai, and now it has sufficient ammunition, sophisticated weapons, and its strength is not what it used to be.

Therefore, Xu Guoren had the confidence to eat the entire 31st Division in one bite. Among the three divisions that came to encircle and suppress the independent division this time, the combat effectiveness of Chi Fengcheng's department was the strongest, as long as they were destroyed, the Jin Sui army of the remaining two divisions would not be worried.
