Chapter 937: Crooked Strikes Fall Short
c_t; Zhang Ting, a confidential staff officer on the side, hurriedly recorded it. For more up-to-date chapters, visit:. [I love to read]
Xu Huaijin continued: "Call Ling Chuanqing back and ask him to spread out the formation from Bengbu, all the way to the west, to carry out a tentative 'sexual' attack, and to find the weak place of the Qing army's defense. After the arrival of the automobile regiment, he ordered Ling Chuanqing to send a 'mixed' brigade, take a car, and 'advance' towards the west, bypassing the Huai River, and going straight to the back of the Qing army. ”
The order quickly reached Ling Chuanqing.
Listening to the staff officer reading the telegram, Ling Chuanqing's face turned red, and he slammed the wine glass on the ground, damn it, the boss actually said that his brain was drunk and drunk, and he was too ****** to underestimate people.
Ling Chuanqing shouted: "From today on, if you can't cross the Huai River, you can't take Wuchang, and Lao Tzu won't drink a drop of wine!" Someone came, ordered Liu Zeyu to 'advance' to the west, along the Huai River, to launch an attack on me, to force the Huai River, to see where the weaknesses of the Qing court were! Ordered Tian Jianguang to lead the 'mixed' brigade to stand by, and when the automobile regiment arrived, he would go all out to 'advance' in the direction of Tongbai Mountain, and he must pass through the Qinling Mountains and enter the hinterland of the Qing army! ”
When Ling Chuanqing jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, Huai'an, Jiangsu, the war was at a critical time.
Cai Yi is a wise general drawn out by Zhang Yi, and he has always been known for his wit and decisiveness in war.
In the face of the Huai'an town that gathered the three towns of the Qing court, Cai Yi also knew the difficulty of the war, in Bengbu, the water of the Huai River is not abundant, the river is not wide, it is good to attack, but in Huai'an, the widest part of the Huai River here has reached thousands of meters, the water flow is turbulent, Feng Guozhang, who led the troops, is known for his cunning and fickleness, and it is not easy to tear a hole in the Huai River!
At the end of the year before last, Jiang Baili made a plan under Zhang Yihu's command, avoiding the truth and breaking through the river defense of the Russian army in Heilongjiang in one fell swoop. say
Cai Ye first concentrated the heavy artillery of two divisions towards Huai'an, and carried out a three-day tentative 'sexual' attack, and in three days, more than 3,000 shells were tilted towards Huai'an, and to see how difficult it was for the Qing army to defend in a short period of time, he immediately changed his tactics and attracted the Qing army on the opposite bank with the main force, and in the middle of the night the next day, he sent a regiment of troops to raid the Weiyu ferry on the west side of Huai'an.
The Qing army, which was busy dealing with the main force of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, did not expect that under the full force of its own response to the enemy, Cai Ye still had the spare strength to use ships to carry out a sneak attack.
The Qing army, which numbered less than 1,000 men, came into close contact with a regiment of the Chinese Revolutionary Army at the Weiyu Ferry.
Across the Huai River, the Chinese Revolutionary Army was difficult to deal with the Qing army for a while, but once it reached the opposite bank, the powerful firepower of the Chinese Revolutionary Army was not at all something that the Qing army could deal with.
In just two hours, nearly 1,000 Qing troops were defeated by the 151st Regiment under Cai Yi, and the 151st Regiment deployed defenses on the spot, ready to meet the follow-up reinforcements to cross the river!
At this time, Feng Guozhang was inspecting near the polder, and Feng Guozhang, who got the news, was so frightened that his face turned green.
Looking at Zhang Fengliang, a guerrilla general of the Qing army who had fled back, he shot Zhang Fengliang's head through a window with a shot in his hand, and shouted: "'Bastard'! What's the use of Lao Tzu wanting you! Someone, immediately mobilize the Twelfth Association for me, and make every effort to encircle and suppress the Chinese Revolutionary Army that came ashore, before dawn, I can't return to the Weiyu Ferry, let the co-leader Li Yuanhong come to see me with his head! ”
In less than an hour, the Twelfth Association, under the leadership of Li Yuanhong, launched a fierce offensive towards the Weiyu Ferry, not to mention, in order to prevent follow-up reinforcements from continuing to cross the river, all the shore defense artillery and heavy artillery of the Qing army launched the most fierce artillery bombardment on the opposite bank.
There was nothing wrong with Cai Yi's strategy, but he didn't expect that Feng Guozhang would actually inspect Weiyu at this time, which was really not beautiful!
No matter how powerful the Chinese Revolutionary Army on the other side is, it will not want to complete the river crossing operation again in a short period of time, and the artillery fire in the sky has completely covered the surface of the Huai River!
Cai Ye, who got the news, was so angry that he shook his hand and smashed the tea bowl in his hand, ******, Lao Tzu's seamless strategy, this Feng Guozhang's brain is crazy, he is not in Huai'an, why did he suddenly come to the Weiyu Ferry!
This is really not that Feng Guozhang wants to come to the Weiyu Ferry, but that Feng Guozhang got the news that Yuan Shikai was going to come to Huai'an to take charge in person, and he was afraid that something would happen before Yuan Shikai arrived, so he went around to inspect reads;.
And Yuan Shikai knows the military deployment along the Huai River very well, he knows where the leaky 'hole' in the deployment of Feng Guozhang's three towns is only limited to the number of troops, and there is no way to adjust it in the short term, after all, their strength is also limited, and it is impossible to arrange heavy troops to guard everywhere.
was really expected by Yuan Shikai, he didn't know that Cai Yi was going to raid the Weiyu Ferry, but Feng Guozhang chose to go all the way west and came to the Weiyu Ferry, and he was crooked!
Cai Ye was also dumbfounded at this time, facing the strong strength of the three towns of the Qing army, in a short period of time, he could not complete the river crossing battle, and his plan fell short!
Cai Ye shouted: "Come on, immediately send a telegram to Cai Dexing, the commander of the 151st Regiment, asking them to immediately abandon the Weiyu Ferry, not to defend to the death, to break through the encirclement of the Qing army, to move and fight in the southeast direction, and to preserve their strength!" ”
At this time, Cai Dexing has completely fallen into a bitter battle.
As soon as he occupied the Xiweiyu Ferry, Cai Dexing had not yet completed the defensive deployment on the position, and Li Yuanhong's 12th Association arrived and immediately threw itself into the siege of the 151st Regiment, with a strength of 3 to 1, and Li Yuanhong had a complete artillery battalion, and the firepower was quite fierce, which was not comparable to a 151st Regiment at all.
The two sides fought a bloody battle at the Weiyu Ferry, which lasted for more than two hours, and it was about to dawn, and the revolutionary army on the north bank was still unable to complete the river crossing operation.
Cai Dexing was anxious, but there was no way, the casualties of his soldiers were getting more and more serious, and when the sky was bright and the reinforcements were not coming, then the brothers of his own regiment would be in trouble, and they would fall into a heavy siege, and it was expected that they would be dumplings by others!
At this time, the signal corps on the side, panting, ran over and shouted: "Regiment commander, I have received a telegram from Chief of Staff Cai, and now the enemy's firepower is fierce, and it is impossible to cross the river to fight, so we are required to immediately break through to the southeast, carry out movement operations, and preserve our strength!" ”
Cai Dexing snatched the telegram and read it with the help of a flashlight, and stomped his feet fiercely, alas! It's over, the plan has failed!
Cai Dexing shouted: "Order, immediately break through to the southeast!" Say
