The commander of the Northeast Army in the town of Gan'an didn't want to be pressed and beaten by others like this, and when he heard that although there were heavy casualties outside, the firepower was not strong, and there didn't seem to be many troops attacking the town, so the brigade commander immediately sent his ace troops, the cavalry regiment, to attack!

Try to wipe out the opponent in one fell swoop, and use a thunderous blow to clear the way and avoid adding fuel to the tactics.

However, what he didn't know was that the Song Army and their special combat teams were waiting for his cavalry regiment, and they knew that as long as this cavalry regiment was wiped out, the Northeast Army in Gan'an Town would hardly have much combat effectiveness, and it could even be said that in the 57th year of Xinyang, it would be less than a quarter of the mobile force, because the entire 57th Army only had a total of four cavalry regiments!

The charge of the cavalry regiment was mighty, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves gave people a great shock, and this sound was heard in the ears of the officers and men of the northeast, and they were much quieter one by one, and half of the panic in their hearts was out at once, and the soldiers who were awakened by the sound of the explosion and got up from the tent began to form a whole team according to the commander's order, and began to assemble in an orderly manner.

The speed of the cavalry regiment was so fast that in less than a minute its advance rushed through the town and began to engage fire with the special combat team.

It's just that when the cavalry regiment received fire, the cavalry didn't know that it was not the forward of the special combat team that was shooting at them, but the blocking force of the special combat team, that is, the rear team of the special combat team. The forward of the special combat team had already penetrated deep into it when the change of defense units had just been destroyed, and the two parts of the special combat team in the front and rear formed a deep U-shaped pocket for the cavalry regiment.

"Smack!" A shot rang out, and the cavalry who rushed ahead fell from their horses with a scream. The horse did not know that its owner was dead, but still galloped forward quickly.

"Smack!" Another soldier fell from his horse. Without soldiers on their backs, the horses ran more cheerfully.

"Smack! Syllable! A warhorse shuddered violently, its front legs lifted violently, and its mouth opened to scream, but it could not neigh. The soldier on horseback was unaware, and his mouth was still shouting: "Charge! Rush! You're rushing me—"

The warhorse, which had no signs of life, fell to the ground with its owner, and because of the strong inertia, it rolled forward with its master, and then was trampled heavily by the hooves of countless horses. The corpse was slowly trampled into a pulp, and the still warm blood flowed silently, seeping into the dirt.

Its owner was knocked into the air by a horse that had just lost its master's control, and a stray bullet hit him in the head, and he suffered another headshot, already dead.

The gunfire outside the town was not fierce, and the rumble of the war horse charge still sounded in the ears of the officers and soldiers of the Northeast. The earth still trembled with the trampling of the horses. However, the roar of the cavalry charge was slowly weakening, and from time to time there were screams, and the shouts of some officers and soldiers suddenly stopped from time to time.

In less than five minutes, the cavalry that was charging also came to their senses, and was horrified to find that their companions around them were gone, and only hundreds of horses were empty on their backs. Only a few of them were screaming alone, only one of their fallen companions were screaming, only the wounded horses were wailing......

They hurriedly reined in their restless horses, raised their hands high, and looked in horror for the enemy in the darkness. I hope that the other party can see his movements and understand what he means: "Don't fight." We all surrendered. ”

Soon a number of people rushed out of the darkness, and whispered orders to these frightened cavalrymen to control their horses and continue to move on, and these confident men did not even take away the pistols and cavalry swords in the hands of the captives.

The sparse gunfire became even more sparse, and the charging horses slowly moved away, as if they had charged farther, as if they had driven away the enemy who had attacked the town.

When the cavalry regiment was far away, the commander of the special combat team, Song Jun, let out a few more bird calls, and the special combat team members immediately advanced to the town again.

This time, the special combat team did not wait for the enemy to rush out but attacked it, because the commander of the town had already discovered that something was wrong: not to mention that he did not order the cavalry regiment to rush so far, but now at night, the cavalry regiment is charging on the familiar terrain around the town, and it is okay to charge with the lights in the town, but at night it is absolutely impossible to conduct field battles, and when you can't see the ground clearly, then the terrain is the biggest enemy of the cavalry, whether it is a pit, a stone or a bush is the natural enemy of the cavalry, The cavalry will destroy itself without the enemy hitting at all.

Besides, even if the cavalry regiment did win, they would definitely send someone to report the victory, and they would send the captured enemy over, but they were gone, and no information came, only the sound of horses' hooves disappeared into the distance. It's like they're going on an outing, they're transferring.

At this time, the brigade commander of the Northeast Army knew that relying on his own strength alone was no longer enough to drive away the enemy outside, and the most important thing now was how to hold on and how to wait for reinforcements to come to relieve the siege.

The contraction of the Northeast Army's strength naturally led the position of the special combat team to extend into the town, and they did not concentrate on one point to carry out a strong attack, but infiltrated from all directions, like a sewing needle, so that the defenders did not know the direction of the opponent's attack at all, and did not know how to arrange troops, but the soldiers on the position continued to gradually die out in cold guns and cold artillery.

With the extension of time, with the weakening of the soldiers in one position after another, the defense of Gan'an Town began to become porous, and many places were like small holes dug out by ants, although it was not enough for the embankment to collapse, but it began to seep water, and the seeping water continued to wash the small holes, so that the holes slowly expanded, and slowly joined together. The defenders of the town still consciously or unconsciously huddled together, thinking that in this way they would be more powerful and more reassuring.

Moreover, this huddle was centered on the houses in the town, and they were all ready to resist the enemy under the cover of the courtyard walls, houses, wells, and millstones of the houses, as in all street battles.

Of course, the special combat team will not carry out house-by-house clearance, but will let other units set up mortars and artillery to start clearing them one by one.

The members of the special combat team only hid in the periphery and used sniper rifles to shoot at the soldiers of the Northeast Army who could not stand the artillery bombardment and fled in all directions.

As the houses were bombarded by saturated artillery, the accurate shooting made it impossible for the Northeast Army to escape, and finally their morale collapsed.

The brigade commander led the general officers to shout surrender, and at the same time lit rows of torches, for fear that the Red Army would not see it.

The battle only lasted for more than three hours before and after, of course, if according to the strength of the special combat team, according to the strength of Guo Zhuocheng's Third Army, it would not take so long at all, and the reason for this was because Guo Zhuocheng did not want to sacrifice too many subordinates, wanted to capture the most war horses, and also to force more soldiers of the Northeast Army to surrender.

You must know that in China, in addition to the Central Army, the Northeast Army is the most regular, and they have more technical officers and soldiers than the Central Army. In addition, the Northeast Army came from the Northeast and was very familiar with the environment of the Northeast, and at the same time had been stationed in the Northwest for many years, and was very familiar with the terrain and customs of the Northwest.

Soon, the battle in Gan'an town was over.

After the prisoners were escorted away, the officers and men of the column directly under them began to use the original positions and fortifications of the Northeast Army to reinforce and expand, and began to dig trenches, because the next combat mission was to stick to this place, not only to prevent the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Jin Army from crossing here to rescue Nanjing, but also to prevent the troops from the Nanjing-Beijing direction from breaking through here and escaping.

A brigade of the Northeast Army was annihilated in just a few hours, which shocked Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang, who were sitting in Nanjing, and for the first time they had a personal experience of the strength of the Red Army, and also knew the reason why Jiang Jieshi's central army could not resist so quickly: It was not that Jiang Jieshi was completely incompetent, but that the strength of the two armies was too different.

Before, they always thought that the rapid collapse of the Central Army and the rapid reversal of the Red Army were entirely due to Jiang Jiaoshi's blind command, and that it was the various warlords who fought on their own, which led to the crushing defeat. However, now their own troops are the same, and they have no strength to resist at all.

"What should I do?" Yan Xishan frowned and looked at Zhang Xueliang with a crying face and asked.

Feng Yuxiang, who was next to him, said angrily: "These communists are completely disregarding morality, we have sent a telegram to them, asking them to send someone to negotiate, we promised to give them a position, why are they still beating us?" Are we really afraid of them? They are calculating or unintentional, we are not prepared, if we are really prepared, how can they beat us? They are also going around in the ravines and ravines, taking advantage of the advantages of being familiar with the terrain to carry out sneak attacks, and if they really want to fight face to face, we will definitely win. ”

Yan Xishan said helplessly: "Now they are fighting us face to face, but what is the result? ”

Feng Yuxiang shook his hand and said, "This is because we are not prepared, they are successful in sneak attacks." As long as we learn the lesson of this time, as long as we pull out of the fight, they will definitely not be able to beat it. Besides, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how can a small battle determine who wins and who loses? ”

Yan Xishan still shook his head and said, "Jiang has already been defeated by them, let us pick up a big bargain. If we fight with the Red Army this time, will we give Jiang someone another chance to pick up a big bargain? I think that if we fight the Red Army, we will definitely lose both, and even if we win, it will be a miserable victory, and we have to guard against it. Jiang will not be willing to be a public servant. Are we going to give them more space, give them more territory, and stabilize them first. When we understand their true strength and understand their weaknesses, then find a way to eliminate them? ”
