Chapter 45: Climax (Tragedy)

The fortifications of the river beach crossing were lost, the gate to the north bank of the Nationalist army had been opened, and the Red Army began to cross the river when the soldiers of the Odd Corps were desperately blocking the enemy.

Although the national army stationed on the cliff on the north bank had the intention to stop it, it was also powerless, and with the successful crossing of the river by the Red Army soldiers, there were more and more reinforcements, and the pressure on Han Xin and others gradually decreased.

"Captain Han, that's good." After the commander of the Red Army successfully crossed the river, he patted Han Xin's shoulder enthusiastically, his face was full of appreciation, and then he came over and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Han Xin saluted the old Red Army commander, and then replied: "Now with the increase in the strength of our army, the enemy has been retreating step by step and has been forced to a position on the mountainside.

Commander, you see, the enemy is now relying on those three pillboxes made of firing points, and the comrades cannot rush forward at all, and the comrades who came to support have already sacrificed a lot.

Fortunately, Commander Liu Bocheng has already destroyed two of them with artillery shells, and now there is only one pillbox left, and I am ready to take my surprise team to blow it up with explosives. ”

Han Xin pointed to the bunker not far away, which was spewing flames fiercely, and the suppressed soldiers could not advance an inch.

The old regiment leader glanced at the bunker not far away, frowned, looked at Han Xin and the soldiers of the Strange Soldier Team who were all hanging colors beside him, squeezed out a smile on his rough face, and said, "Captain Han, you guys should rest and rest!"

You have taken most of the credit this time, and my brothers have to show their backs. ”

"Commander......"

"What, look down on Lao Tzu?" The old head glared, saw that Han Xin closed his mouth a little reluctantly, and smiled again: "Don't worry, although you kid is good, but Lao Tzu has eaten more salt than you have ever eaten, how can it be difficult to get Lao Tzu in this little battle." ”

"Then, old head of the regiment, be careful", Han Xin's heart warmed slightly, and he no longer argued.

The old regiment commander nodded, and then ordered his subordinates who came behind him, "Do you see that bunker?" Blew it up for Lao Tzu. ”

"Yes!"

The old commander's order was simple, but the Red Army soldiers under his command acted immediately, quickly and orderly, and the number one hundred and ten people quickly assembled, followed by several groups of fighters with several packs of explosives.

"Toot toot toot toot...... Toot Toot

The loud trumpet of the charge sounded, and the old commander's subordinates were fearless, holding rifles and broadswords, brandishing and launching a fierce attack on the enemy.

The enemy's pillboxes were full of flames, and bullets ruthlessly deprived many soldiers of their lives, but these charging Red Army soldiers were undaunted, braving the smoke of gunpowder, and advancing rapidly.

At the same time, the explosives team under the cover of everyone's charge also sneaked up, and when one person fell, the other picked up his companion's explosives bag and continued to move forward, and so on, and so on.

The artillery fire is roaring, life is showing fragility and unbearable, but also deducing greatness and fearlessness, and the iron-blooded figures are falling one after another, and they can no longer stand up.

Han Xin's eyes were a little moist, and his originally calm face began to become distorted, such a tragic scene, I have watched too many TV series in later generations, and I often disagree with it, complain about a sentence of "fake scum", and then skip it indifferently.

But the scene in front of me is so similar to the memories of later generations, almost overlapping, it is a pity that the bullets are ruthless, but they are far from being as "long-eyed" as the bullets in the TV series of later generations: shuttling through the artillery fire, the good people are not damaged.

Half of the team that originally had a hundred and ten people before the charge was gone, and most of the rest were injured, and the miserable scene was unbearable.

Since the Red Army fought the Long March from Ruijin, the ammunition has been decreasing day by day, and even this group responsible for blowing up the enemy's pillboxes has more than a dozen people, but only four or five explosives bags have been scraped together.

Therefore, the limitation of the number of explosives bags has also become a burden, that is, in order to pick up the explosives bags that fell to the ground in order to pick up the fallen comrades, it led to the death of seven or eight people, and even stray bullets hit the explosives bags, and under the ruthless explosion, the bones of the soldiers were gone.

And just now, these comrades were still cordially greeting Han Xin and others, but the next moment they were separated forever, what kind of grief this is, and what kind of greatness and selflessness it contains.

Han Xin's heart was already a little unsure of how to grieve, and he watched with blank eyes as the soldiers fell one after another on the way to charge, and the blood drifted down the dripping rain, and finally scattered on the vast Dadu River......

The iron blood and sacrifice of the stormtrooping soldiers completely ignited everyone's blood and indignation, and at the moment when the soldiers of an explosives squad struggled to lift the last explosive bag and exploded together with the enemy's pillbox that had taken the lives of countless Red Army soldiers, and the bones were gone.

Everyone went crazy and launched a charge, the bullets in the guns, the broadswords in their hands, even their bare hands and empty fists, all desperately beckoned to the enemy.

The defending national army troops were the troops under the command of the national army general "Liu Wenhui", known as the "double spearmen (smoking guns and rifles)", and at this moment they were completely frightened, plus the last pillbox was blown up, they ran away, and lost the position on the mountainside to the Red Army.

Enraged, the Red Army soldiers quickly took the position, and then quickly sent troops to occupy the commanding heights there, taking advantage of the situation, to launch a fierce attack on the Yuwei Confucian regiment headquarters to the east, and once again routed the enemy.

The enemy fled in the direction of Fulin.

The soldiers who crossed the river again cooperated with everyone to take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat all the enemies within 40 miles downstream of the river, until they occupied the top of Yeboar Gang on the right side of the Meiluo field and achieved the purpose of covering the main force of the Red Army to march to Luding Bridge, and then stopped the pursuit of the enemy.

After the victory of the war, the old regiment leader's face was very calm, but he kept smoking, and when he saw the sad faces of the members of the strange team, he squeezed out a smile, hammered the iron bull beside him, and teased slightly: "Look at your kid who is as strong as a cow, what are you doing with a sad face?" Come on, be happy. ”

Tie Niu was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly, and his sad expression became more and more obvious, "Old Leader...... More than 200 comrades were sacrificed! I...... I want to cry......"

", a man bleeds without tears, don't embarrass Lao Tzu......" The old head slammed the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it fiercely with his feet in straw sandals, and then turned around, his body twitching slightly......

I don't know how long it took, some soldiers took off the red five-star military caps inlaid with symbols of glory, one after another, and in silence, everyone stared at the martyr comrades who were carefully put together by everyone.

Even when ammunition was scarce, dozens of gunshots rang out, sending a final prayer to these great warriors.

Putting the military hat on his head solemnly again, Han Xin knew that it was the love of the old regiment commander and the sacrifice of these comrades that preserved the strange soldiers, and their kindness would be unforgettable.

The light rain began to stop, only a drop fell, and the old regiment commander left, taking his soldiers with him, telling Han Xin to invite him to drink wine and eat meat in the future, and then leaving a departing Xiao Se back.

The soldiers of the Odd Soldier Team also met with their regiment commander Lin Dashan, and Lin Dashan praised everyone vigorously, making everyone's heavy mood slightly weakened.

After this battle, the odd team sacrificed two veterans, the team of eighteen people only had sixteen people left, the squad leader Xu Bao was slightly injured, and the old six stone forests in the eight stones were hit by stray bullets and had been sent to rescue, but fortunately, there was no major problem.

As for the others, they were lucky to survive this battle.

After that, the Red Army began to cross the river, first with three boats of its own, then with another wooden boat downstream, and with the addition of a wooden boat salvaged, the Red Army had a total of four small wooden boats.

The Red Army crossed the river, and the nearby boatmen came to help, reaching more than 50 people, and the boatmen Liu Xuezhong was in charge of the commander-in-chief, and the boatmen were divided into six groups.

On each side of the ferry, a row of Red Army soldiers was responsible for pulling boats, the north bank from Taozi Bay to Jianshibao, and the south bank from Chenjiawan to Xiaohekou.

At that time, the life of the soldiers was very difficult, and under the military emergency, some soldiers even had difficulty eating a mouthful of hot food a day, but everyone took good care of these old boatmen and tried to keep them full.

After three days and three nights of hard work, with the help of the old boatmen, all the soldiers finally crossed the Dadu River in this difficult environment.

On the hillside, when Han Xin brought the news that the Red Army had all crossed the river, everyone cheered a little.

"Cadets, our troops have been in trouble recently, and our comrades have eaten very little, and some people have even fainted from hunger, but fortunately, they have been treated in time.

But what about ......"

"We have a good leader, we are not hungry, hehe!" Tie Niu smiled and touched his belly, it was really not much smaller.

Han Xin glanced at Tie Niu's living treasure helplessly, and also sighed with some emotion, this regiment leader Lin Dashan really has "foresight", and he risked being punished to grab food when he passed through the Yi nationality area, but it came in handy.

The soldiers of the three regiments were not very hungry, especially the soldiers of the Odd Soldier Team, who had three meals a day, and all of them lived a very nourishing life.

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Han Xin put away his smile and said, "Now the soldiers are already sleepy, and our three regiments have been recuperating, so the task of intercepting and pursuing the enemy after this break still falls on the head of our regiment, to remind everyone."

The battle is far from over, and we cannot afford to let up in the Odd Troop. ”

"Instructor, don't worry! As long as I don't have a hungry stomach, I am willing to fight every day. Tie Niu smiled innocently, making everyone laugh.

Seeing that everyone was laughing, Han Xin continued to launch the blockbuster and said, "Students, you performed very well this time, do you know?" Such a sentence has been circulating in our army these days! ”

"What's that?"

"Seventeen warriors forcibly crossed the Dadu River, and fearless veterans bravely bombed the enemy's bunker!" Han Xin's words fell, and everyone froze.
