Chapter 166: General Han
According to information from the Special High Division of the Japanese Kwantung Prefecture Intelligence Department, on July 26, the Babu Zabu bandit army was routed on the way to get through. However, because Han Linchun's troops failed to "timely" and completely block their escape route, they failed to completely annihilate this rebel army, so that the stragglers crossed the Huolin River and rushed to the southeast, harassing along the way, causing chaos in Jixi.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
In the day that Guo Songling clung to the Ba bandit army, Han Linchun's army finally crossed many obstacles and came to the designated place Baichengzi. At this time, Guo Songling's communication soldiers were finally found. After learning about Guo Songling's battle with the bandit army and tactical planning, Han Linchun set his sights on Tuquan.
The strength of the Guards Brigade is clear to itself, and it is absolutely not like the "child soldiers and student troops" mentioned by some high-ranking members of the Feng Army, but it is extremely effective in combat; for high-spirited troops, it is better than any advanced weapon, and the lack of training can also be tested through actual combat on a small scale. He firmly believes that the troops of the scheming and capable Guo "devil" (forgive me for calling it behind my back) will definitely not lose to the bandit army with a one-to-one number.
Since Guo Guizi was determined, he chose to cooperate. When the battle between the two sides was at its fiercest, as long as he appeared in the north, it would be too much to look down on the bandits if they dared to retreat north. After staring at the map and thinking for a while, Han Linchun decisively ordered: "The regiment's baggage troops, artillery company and a battalion will stay in Baicheng as escorts, and the rest of the troops will march straight to take Tuquan lightly." ”
In these years, it was difficult to march with heavy loads, and sometimes there were no serious roads in the uncultivated land of northern Liaobei, and the young marshal kindly gave him the artillery company, but it could not play a role.
Sure enough, when Han Linchun's troops, which numbered thousands, appeared in the north, the bandit army was in chaos. For these bandits who were bent on rushing through the Fengtian defense line and joining the "Protector Army" in the south, they also did something and planned to retreat to Hulunbuir's lair without a surprise.
When the troops in the north obviously blocked the route, Babu Zabu and Qing Yu Shengmin combined the information given to them by the Japanese army a few days ago and the "bandit suppression army" planned to encircle and choose one, and they knew that if they fled south, they would definitely encounter a large number of Feng troops to stop them. Moreover, according to the information, the 27th Division of Mukden was not dispatched at all. In other words, even if the defense line of the "anti-bandit army" was broken through in the south, it would still have to fight the well-equipped 27th Division, which even the leaders of the bandit army, Lao Ba and Lao Qing, had never planned.
Since it is the first choice, the "one" is that the east is definitely not easy to walk, the two major leaders were killed in the bloody rain, and the enemy insists on what he opposes, and they all understand this truth.
What to do? Guo Songling's army in the west is too difficult to fight, so forget it. The army to the south is not clear, but the enemy who does not appear is the most difficult to fight. Only in the north, the "bandit army" has not gained a stable foothold, and its whole army is pressed up, and it is not afraid that there will be no chance to break out of the encirclement. After a little total, Lao Ba and Lao Qing made up their minds to stand out from Han Linchun's defense line!
Under the clamor of "if you can't rush through, there will be death and no life", the bandit army made an all-out attack on Han Linchun. On the meadow several miles wide, the remaining 2,000-odd bandit troops poured into the ranks of the 2nd Regiment of the Guards Brigade like a torrent.
This is a battle for life, and the combat power is much greater than before, at least Han Linchun feels that it is so difficult to command a battle for the first time in his life. The 2nd Regiment also made a long journey, also did not have time to rest, and more importantly, they were also a predominantly infantry unit, and the only artillery company that could suppress the cavalry was still in White City!
Fortunately, considering that Han Linchun was far away, Zhang Hanqing moved hundreds of war horses to use as leg strength before leaving, and now they are used. Han Linchun drew his sword and shouted: "The second battalion, the third battalion and the engineer company quickly built a defensive position, and the first battalion and others with war horses come with me!" ”
The young marshal said that "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road", and he also thinks so. At such a critical moment, the infantry must be given time to build fortifications, and this buffer depends on the duel between the cavalry!
This is the second time that Babu Zabu has seen the cavalry of the "Suppression of Bandit Army" charging without hesitation, and the aftermath of the previous cavalry company still makes people feel palpitations, and now there is a much larger number of cavalry troops.
Despite the uneasiness and some fright, there is no room for the slightest hesitation in the midst of thousands of troops.
The same people are on their backs, and the same blood is splattered on the battlefield. Zhang Hanqing, who was able to arrive, saw such a scene in the distance: Han Linchun raised his sword and jumped on the horse, and the tip of the knife was dripping with blood. Hundreds of cavalry followed his direction like a torrent, and wherever they went, the bandits avoided one after another. Zhang Hanqing smiled at Guo Songling, who arrived after hearing the wind, and said: "It seems that the extermination of this bandit army is just around the corner. The team of thousands of people couldn't break through the hasty defense line of Han Linchun's hundreds of people, and there was almost no suspense in the battle. Thinking of a small poem by Mao Weiren, he read aloud: "The mountains are high, the roads are far away, and the pits are deep, and the army is galloping." Who dares to leap on the horse, but I, General Han! ”
What he didn't know was that the heroic performance of the cavalry company last night made the bandit army have a kind of cowardice in the bones of the army of the Guards Brigade, and also made Han Linchun's few cavalry teams enjoy this honor again.
The officers and soldiers who followed Zhang Hanqing shouted: "General Han! "Cheer him on. This voice reached Guo Songling's west wing, Han Linchun's army in battle, and the ears of the sweaty North Road defenders, and there was a burst of resonance.
The bandits, stunned by another unit from the south, were no longer in the mood to fight the cavalry on the opposite side, and they were quickly defeated, gathered together, and looked at each other.
With this murderous aura, Han Linchun resisted a round of attacks by the bandits. The cavalry came too fast, and the infantrymen who had not had time to deploy some of the bullets were loaded, some of the bayonets were bright, and even the soldiers of the engineer company picked up the sapper shovels and wanted to fight the rebels hand-to-hand.
Babu Zab was about to organize a second attack. The previous charge still caused Han Linchun's cavalry to suffer huge losses---- the gap in numbers was a link that could not be bypassed, and the old Han led was not a serious cavalry unit after all. Babu Zab believes that if he does it again, he will have a chance to break through the defense, and in the first round, he is only a little short of that.
But the shouts from the sky made him quickly change his mind, defeated, run. To the east, there is still a way to live, because a few days ago, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Gongzhuling, Xiao Zeyuan, signaled to him that if the situation was not right, he could flee to Zhengjiatun, where the Japanese army responded. The impulsive self confidently rejected his kindness.
Although to the east, the army of Ji Enyuan, the overseer of Jilin, should also be deployed, but it can't be so much, as long as he can avoid this perverted opponent, even Heilongjiang He dares to break through!
Han Linchun, Guo Songling, and Zhang Hanqing suddenly saw such a strange scene: Countless bandit soldiers ignored their colleagues who were still calling for their fathers and mothers on the battlefield, and suddenly rushed eastward together, ignoring some of the officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade who were trying to block them, and they should not fight, so they fled and fled as much as possible, and the people around them were hit by cold guns and the wails of saving their lives could not arouse their pity at all! This is a truly cold-blooded army, a comrade-in-arms to oneself!
