Chapter 852: Old General Feng's Broadsword
During the Battle of the Great Wall, He Huan's Le army was in a mountainous area, and the Great Wall was used as a cover, and the heavy artillery of the 31st Division was not well deployed in the mountains, which kept the Le army from being bombarded into slag. The situation of the French army was completely different from that of the Le army, they were in the valley, without any cover, and the heavy artillery of the 31st Division was condescending in the preset position, and the French army was naturally suffering from casualties. A few artillery pieces obtained by He Huan through the door and the cave could rely on the Great Wall and the 31st Division to barely fight an artillery battle, and the French artillery positions were bombed into parts in an instant, where was there still the slightest power to fight back.
Zheng Yong had been waiting before, but it was not to consume the strength of the Qing army. After quietly watching for a day, the artillery observers of the 31st Division had already locked on all the artillery deployments of the French army. This ensured that as soon as the 31st Division struck, the French artillery did not even have a chance to react, so it was served with a pot. At the same time, the timing of the 31st Division's attack was when the French army closed its front and retreated. At this time, the spirit of the French army was the most relaxed, everyone wanted to take a breath, and the formation was relatively loose. Zheng Yong chose this moment to make a move, and in an instant, he disrupted the formation of the French army, plunging the French army into chaos, and the casualties of the French army running around increased geometrically.
"Pass my general order, and the 5th Battalion of Kubo will immediately attack and copy the left flank of the French army. Wang Debang's troops attacked with all their might to cut off the return route of the French army. The armies are moving forward, and there are those who retreat, no matter what general meets which army, they will be punished! Lao Feng looked at the amazing results achieved by the heavy artillery of the 31st Division, and was not immersed in sighs like a happy one, and quickly adjusted his emotions and quickly gave the order for a counterattack.
At this time, the Qing army was exhausted, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the rest of its life after the catastrophe. The French army attacked all day, causing them huge casualties, if it were not for the crisis when Feng Zicai personally supervised the battle, and shouted "Feng Zicai shouted: "The French re-enter the customs, what face do you see the people of Yue?" Why do you live?" The words boosted morale, I am afraid that the Qing army has already collapsed, and it is really difficult for some strongmen to let them fight back now. The Qing army now urgently needs to treat the wounded, replenish supplies, and then repair it well. However, war is impersonal, and the opportunity to break the French army is in front of us, and the opportunity is fleeting, how can it withstand delay.
"Brothers, follow Lao Tzu and kill!" Feng Zicai, who was nearly seventy years old, held the big knife he had sharpened for many days, shouted, and took the lead in leading his two sons to jump out of the long wall and rush towards the French army like a tiger.
will be the courage of the three armies, and it is also the weather vane in everyone's eyes, the old man is so desperate, and everyone will have no hardship. The whole army was excited, the Cui Army, the Huai Army, the Hunan Army, the Dingbian Army, the Defense Army, the Le Army, etc., all the Qing troops attacked together, broadswords, spears, bayonets, and all kinds of blades marched together, and a meaningless white-knuckle battle unfolded extremely tragically.
The Vietnamese puppet troops, who were closest to the Qing army, were completely unable to fight back, and they suffered the most severe shelling, with more than 70 percent killed or wounded. The remnants of the puppet army have completely lost their formation, and the violent shocks and terrible environment have made these guys a mess, a bunch of walking dead roaming in hell. When the Qing army killed them, they did not react, and then they were killed on the spot one by one like targets.
Chen Jiabu and Jiang Zonghan, who counterattacked the lost fortress of Daxiaoqingshan, encountered some trouble and launched a fierce battle with the French army. The Qing army's baseholdings on the large and small green hills became the support and cover of the French army, and also the typhoon shelter from the violent artillery bombardment. Although the artillery fire of the 31st Division almost turned over part of the hillside occupied by the French army, because of the support of the bunker, the French army still preserved the living force of more than 3,000 people, and they were relatively conscious. Especially the foreign mercenary legion, these two devils from Africa, are more fierce than the serious French army. Not only did they block the Qing army's counterattack when the defeat had already taken shape, but they also faintly had the intention of continuing to advance forward.
Wang Debang, who was responsible for attacking the enemy's rear, did not go very smoothly, but he faced the French army, which was full of beard and tail, and met with very fierce resistance. Wang Debang was not defeated, but his troops were all old Hunan troops, and they were still in tatters from Guoxing'a in the Zeng Guofan era, so the progress was extremely slow, and he actually entered a stalemate with the French army's palace troops. As a veteran general of the Hunan army, Wang Debang knows the importance of his position now, and if he succeeds, he will annihilate the French army, and if he loses, the whole army will fall short. So Wang Debang also fought hard, and his beloved warriors Xiao Delong and Chunfa were all on the front line, so he sent himself naked to charge forward.
"Master, it seems that you can't delay it anymore! Although the Cui army has been supplemented with advanced equipment, and the equipment of the Le army is okay, they are not very good at using these equipment, and they lack the training to adapt, so they can't give full play to the power of these weapons at all. If it is delayed for a long time, let the French army take a breath, and then think about annihilating the French army, I am afraid it will not be so easy! Zhu Zhenyu, the political commissar who had a very weak sense of presence in the 31st Division, had a hard time saying a word.
"What the political commissar said is that the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, and the French army must not be given a chance to breathe! The second stunned man took the 312th Brigade to help Wang Debang cut off the back road of the French army, and Liu Dascar took the 313th Brigade to attack the big and small Qingshan and solved the front of the French army that was stubbornly resisting! ......Zheng Yong's deployment is actually very good, and it is even easier to solve the French army in the middle that has been dispersed, but the smart Zheng Yong still looked at the political commissar Zhu Zhenyu, and some things are related to politics, such as friendly relations and so on.
"Old General Feng wielded his sword and went straight forward, it was magnificent, let's wait for the old army to make contributions!" Zhu Zhenyu reluctantly suggested that the credit for the middle road should be left to the Qing army to pick up.
Zhu Zhenyu is not like Zheng Yong and others, he is a young man with a high degree of education, and this division political commissar is only 37 years old this year. Zhu Zhenyu spent his childhood in Guannai, but the life of starvation did not make him have much affection for Guannai. Zhu Zhenyu, who grew up under the banner of the Eight Stars and the Sun, like most Neo-Manchurians, hated Guannai very much and had deep prejudices against the Qing court and the Qing army. Zhu Zhenyu, a master of the Department of Political Science and Engineering of Lu University, can deal with a lot of problems very well, but his subconscious is still very repulsive to the Qing army. Aiding the Qing army and making contributions to the Qing army is a political task assigned by Shangfeng, and Zhu Zhenyu must urge Zheng Yong and others to complete it, but he himself is still very disapproving.
"A victory is like this, alas! The teacher worked hard, I went back to read! Zhu Zhenyu's way of expressing his disdain is to ignore the generals of the Qing army, he basically does not show up in public, and even on the battlefield, he just says he will go.
"Commissar go slowly!" Zheng Yong and Yu Siqiang are very considerate of their political commissars, in their eyes, Zhu Zhenyu is a little childish temper, but the talented people have a big temper, they understand it very well. Moreover, the Manchurian supremacy that Zhu Zhenyu preached when he was okay, they also felt quite right when they heard it, why did they have to accommodate the imperial court?
The 31st Division was thrown into battle, and its form was immediately reversed. Liu Jinmeng took over the attack of Daqingshan very roughly, and directly drove Chen Jia, Jiang Zonghan, and the two Qing armies out of the battlefield, and completely attacked the remnants of the French army with his 313th Brigade. The 313th Brigade intervened, and the brave story of the Foreign Legion came to an end. The Manchurian Army's skillful infantry artillery coordinated with extremely terrifying power, and the artillery group of more than 100 heavy guns aimed at a small hill and directly leveled Xiaoqingshan by seven meters. Moreover, the 313th Brigade itself also carried a large number of mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and single launchers, and the French army's firepower point could hardly survive, and as soon as it appeared, it bombarded the sky with small-caliber artillery.
The Foreign Legion also wanted to evade fire by maneuvering in small areas, but the advantage of the 105 mm light guns with the infantry maneuvering was manifested. Liu Jinmeng set up a 105-mm light artillery position below the ridgeline, and as soon as the French troops showed their heads, they were greeted by artillery fire. The French army was blocked by artillery fire, and then slowly divided and surrounded by the 313th Brigade, and finally in the blind corners of shelter from the wind, they were sent to God by a dense number of bullets. However, the tenacity of the Foreign Legion is also impressive, and they still hold on to resist in a hopeless environment until they are all killed. The French army of the 2nd Brigade of the French Army was not as strong as the Foreign Legion, and the remaining 800-odd people quickly laid down their arms and chose to surrender after the 313th Brigade took over the attack.
Hepbenzhe was not in the sequence of prisoners, and this guy was unlucky enough, and he was blown into three knots in the first round of shelling. If it had not gone well because of the early death of his commander, the French army would have retreated down the hill and had the main force converge after the first round of shelling, instead of having no pointless stubborn resistance on the hill and missing the opportunity to join the main force.
Jiang Juting of the 312th Brigade was much more disciplined than Liu Jinmeng, and he got along with Wang Debang, the general of the Hunan army, and there was no such thing as driving friendly troops out of the battlefield. However, because of the distance, Jiang Juting arrived a little late, and by the time he joined the battle, the French army had already dug improvised trenches and began to hold on to the same place. After Jiang Juting tried it with his own small and medium-caliber artillery, he felt that although it was effective, the effect was slow, and then he called his own artillery group.
The position of the French reinforcements was more than 20 miles away from the Phoenix Mountain in the pass in front of the pass, and the French army never thought that the artillery of the Manchurian army could hit so far. However, there are a lot of heavy artillery pieces of the 31st Division with a range of more than 30 miles, and hitting a target 20 miles away is not a problem at all. Jiang Juting's artillery staff used walkie-talkies to communicate with the artillery group's positions several times, and after a simple correction of the ballistic data, the French positions were completely submerged in artillery fire. Fifteen minutes later, the French position completely collapsed, and the polite Jiang Juting gave Wang Debang the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
"All the divisions immediately encircled the main force of the French army and immediately launched an attack!" Zheng Yong's hurried order suddenly came from the walkie-talkie. The French army, which was surrounded by the enemy on its back and on three sides, actually found a gap and had begun to break through, how could Zheng Yong not be in a hurry.
