Chapter 1505: Destroy the Elite Again

The Red Army was on the one hand to verify the power of the weapons in its hands, and also to show the survival of its infantry -- to show that the powerful infantry without artillery could fight as well, while the Central Army side was to flee for their lives and survive, so that from the very beginning of the battle, both sides fought with all their strength and their own blood.

The battle between the two sides entered a stalemate from the moment the center-army began to charge.

Rows of attacking soldiers of the Central Army fell in pools of blood, and one after another the wounded who did not die were screaming, but the officers and men of the 1st Division, who had always been arrogant, did not hesitate, they did not frown, they stepped on the corpses and blood of their comrades and rushed forward, pouring bullets and grenades on the defenders one by one, repelling attack after attack.

The defenders were also wounded one by one and died one by one in the dense bullets. But they did not flinch even more, the machine gunner died, the secondary shooter, the mortar gunner was wounded, and the others were on top. The light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and grenades in their hands constantly swept through the attacking ranks, constantly exploding in the crowd of the attacking side, setting off bursts of bloody rain and bloody winds.

As soon as the gap appeared, the Red Army soldiers next to them pounced, one soldier fell, and more soldiers filled it, and although their lines shook from time to time, they were never really broken through, and they never let the enemy step on a single step.

The attackers were in a hurry, and soldiers from the Central Army were constantly rushing up with bundles of grenades and explosives.

Some soldiers were hit by bullets in the middle of the charge, but they still crawled forward completely, and the explosive-powder bag in their arms was often hit by the children of the Red Army, which often caused a sky-high explosion. There were also some Central Army daredevils who rushed into the defenders' lines, and the explosive packs they held in their arms blew the soldiers to pieces and blew the defenders to pieces.

The defenders rushed into the attacking team with bundles of grenades and explosives, and they were blown to pieces along with the surrounding enemies.

When the superiors of the Red Army asked the company commander Ma Yuhua if he needed reinforcements, Ma Yuhua, who was wounded in the arm, shouted: "No! We don't need reinforcements at all! One company of us will be able to hold off their attack. We will not let an enemy go! ”

When asked how many soldiers he still had, he choked up: half of his soldiers had been lost, and more than a third of them had died.

Listening to the numbers reported layer by layer, and hearing that the company guarding the main guard had sacrificed one-third of the officers and soldiers, Guo Zhuocheng, who had already prepared for heavy sacrifices, couldn't help but purse his lips. I still couldn't help but soften, and said to Mao Runtan in a consultative tone: "One of our companies can withstand their attack for so long, which is enough to prove our strength and enough to make the enemy fearful." Chief of Staff Mao, why don't we let this company commander retreat and let the enemy leave? ”

Mao Runtan glanced at Guo Zhuocheng strangely. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay!" I believe that our fighters are all good, and they will not be afraid of the Japanese devils in the future! ”

As the company led by Ma Yuhua reluctantly withdrew after being repulsed by taking advantage of the enemy's advance, the attacking Central Army finally broke the encirclement of the Red Army and involuntarily let out a burst of cheers.

However, this cheering was short-lived, and the cheering officers and soldiers were confined to those central armies that had resumed their offensive. Just when they thought that this attack would meet with endless resistance. only to find that they rushed forward lightly, and the Red Army, which had been desperately blocking them before, was gone.

Naturally, they were overjoyed and couldn't help but shout in surprise. However, when they did not see that there was not a single Red soldier in the place where the battle had just begun, or even a single corpse of the Red Army, they involuntarily fell silent again.

The Red Army, both the sacrificial Red Army and the wounded Red Army, were taken away by them, which fully shows that the Red Army retreated on its own initiative.

I remembered the fierceness of the battle just now. Seeing this strange scene in front of him, the victorious center-army suddenly closed his mouth of cheer and looked at the front in disbelief, not knowing whether the front was a trap or not, not knowing what danger was waiting for him in front, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in his heart.

Driven by the officers, they bent over and rushed forward quickly, without time or heart to think about whether there was a trap ahead, as long as they could get out of this bloody place. At their feet were the corpses of their companions, all blinding with blood. It was all screams of pain......

It's terrible, run! Come on! Get out of this hell quickly!

In fact, the current battle situation is equivalent to "encircling three and one": surround the enemy on three sides and leave a gap on the other side, so that the besieged enemy thinks that there is a way to escape and does not have the heart to die, and once the enemy's morale is slack, it is easier to collapse if he has a way to survive.

This tactic, which has been used since ancient battlefields, can greatly reduce the losses of one's own side. Kill and wound the enemy while on the way. Doing so often has a multiplier effect with half the effort.

This tactic is very common in warfare, but this time Guo Zhuocheng and Mao Runtan implemented it after a period of fighting.

Sure enough, when they learned that there was a gap in the encirclement, the besieged Central Army was overjoyed and at the same time was thinking about how they could break through the gap first, and few people were determined to take their lives to block the enemy for others. In particular, those troops who obeyed the orders to serve as the rear guard and act as a blocker, even though they were forced to retreat by the officers' pistols, they were always thinking about leaving, and some even moved to kill the officers who supervised the battle and fled on their own.

Not long after the gap opened, Hu Zongnan also rushed towards the gap in the pile of soldiers, running like an ordinary soldier.

It's just that as they passed through that gap, everyone else was worried about the Red Army coming back to the ground, and they were all looking in horror at the layers of corpses of their own soldiers and the blood that made their feet muddy. However, Hu Zongnan, as the supreme commander, was silently observing the defensive positions of the Red Army and thinking about the strength of the other side.

He didn't need to look closely at all, and after being immersed in the army for a long time, he could see at once that the number of Red troops blocking his troops was not large, because there were not many bunkers here, and there were not many traces of the defenders fighting here.

The corpses and wounded soldiers of the Red Army were calmly transported away, which made him creepy: "Could it be that the Red Army has held us back for so long with just one company?" Could it be that the soldiers of a company have such strong firepower? This is stronger than the firepower of the German ** team. How did they do it, and where did their weapons come from? ”

As he ran out with the flow of people, he was thinking about it, and when he saw a grenade thrown by the Red Army not far away, it exploded, knocking down several soldiers who were rushing out at once, and he couldn't help but say, "Why are their grenades so powerful?" ”

It's a pity that no one answered his words, and they all just ran, where is the time to answer his questions?

As Hu Zongnan escaped from the encirclement, the enemy's military heart was loosened, and the soldiers no longer ignored the shouts of the officers and began to flee to the gap.

Of course, there were some hard-nosed officers in the army, and one of the battalion commanders shouted to his men from behind a big tree: "Brothers, we have been ambushed by the Communists. We are the first division of the Central Army, and we are the most valued unit of the commission, and we must not disappoint the hope of the commission. Now that the whole army is in critical condition, we must resolutely resist the communist bandits and win glory for the first division. Now below me, all officers are to take the lead in the charge. The goal, grab the mountain bag on the left, and hold on to it when you succeed. Those who rushed up were rewarded with ten pieces of ocean, and they were shot in fear of the enemy. Brethren, rush—"

"Boom!" A mortar shell exploded right next to him, and his body flew up, and when he fell, it was torn into three pieces by shrapnel and air waves: from the shoulder up with his head to the left, his right leg fell under the roots of a large tree, and the rest of his body rolled into the grass.

It was only to blame that he had shouted too much and stayed where he had been for too long, but if he had shouted "Brothers, come with me" and ran away with his men, the shell might not have hit him.

At this moment, the Red Army began to charge, and instead of rushing forward with bravery as before, as if they had no good weapons, they overwhelmed the enemy with momentum, but used heavy machine guns and mortars as cover, distracted the enemy's attention with light machine guns, and used submachine guns and grenades to open the way, forcing the enemy with greater momentum......

The Central Army, which was already demoralized and busy fleeing, collapsed at once, and several officers who wanted to organize soldiers to resist were killed by snipers in the Red Army at the first time, and soon no one resisted, no one dared to point their guns at the Red Army, they either spread their legs and ran violently, or knelt on the ground and surrendered with their guns raised......

After Ma Yuhua's company rested for a while, they began to chase after the tail of Hu Zongnan's team, and they chased for seven or eight kilometers until the strict order of their superiors came from the walkie-talkie, and they stopped and pressed the captured prisoners back.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the gunfire in Wenjiadian Town completely stopped, and the battlefield suddenly fell silent.

The soldiers happily cleaned up the battlefield, some picked up weapons, some took care of the prisoners, some put supplies together, and some treated the wounded......

Although only two regiments joined the battle, it was much more fierce and tragic than the previous battles, and this time one hundred and twenty Red officers and men were killed and many more wounded. However, the results were also brilliant, killing and wounding more than 2,000 people of the Central Army and taking more than 4,000 prisoners. Only Hu Zongnan fled with the remnants of less than 400 soldiers......

Guo Zhuocheng had the banner of "Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army-Column Directly under the Army" displayed, and that evening they held a simple but solemn celebration meeting in Wenjiadian Town.
