Chapter 19: The Bloody Battle in the Jinsha River
(It's okay to post two chapters at a time, although I know that it's better to post a chapter every six hours, and the recommendation and collection are not ideal, so support more book friends!) Thank you! )
It was late at night, almost early in the morning, and it was a moment of deep sleep, but the soldiers of the Lin Dashan Division of the Third Regiment of the Ninth Division were full of energy, lying on the dug trenches in full gear, waiting for the arrival of the enemy with concentration.
The crossing of the river by the large forces of the Red Army has come to an end, and only about two regiments of soldiers are left to cross the river in a hurry, and they also know that the time for the transfer is the comrades behind them in exchange for their lives, and they do not dare to delay it in the slightest.
The national army arrived quickly, like a hyena in the grassland, sniffing a hint of smell and looking for it.
But you should never expect the Nationalist Army to be the same as the Red Army soldiers, the former for money and profit, the latter for faith and the Motherland, which is naturally very different.
Therefore, most of the arriving national troops were tired and coping, loose and sloppy, and their vigilance was extremely poor.
However, don't misunderstand, after all, this is not a regular national army, but a local national army unit transferred by Lao Chiang, which is the lead, or cannon fodder, and the combat effectiveness of the central regular army of the national army is still quite terrifying.
At this moment, Lin Dashan was lying on his side in the trench, surrounded by political commissar Xiao Xiang and a few guards, although it was late at night, and then the moonlight, Lin Dashan, as an old soldier, easily found the laxity of the enemy's vanguard team, and judged that it was a miscellaneous unit of the national army, and immediately ordered: put this group of enemies close to fight, and do not use grenades first.
In the night, Lin Dashan and others hid in the trenches again and were never discovered, but the Red Army soldiers who were still crossing the river not far away were discovered, and the national troops who were still a little lazy suddenly woke up.
"Brothers, fight, don't let the gangsters cross the river, Chairman Jiang said, everyone has a reward!" Some national soldiers shouted loudly.
In an instant, the gunfire was loud, and no matter whether they could be beaten or not, the officers and men of the national army, who had never been short of ammunition, kept putting their guns at bay, and the flames soared into the sky, embellishing this slightly moonlit night like day.
"Hit"
Lin Dashan, who had already been ambushed in the trenches, naturally did not let these national troops go over to affect the process of crossing the river for the soldiers in the rear, and after putting these UB troops within the range of the soldiers' guns, they began to shoot.
Thousands of people suddenly burst into fire, and the flying bullets intertwined into an undodgable barrage, depriving hundreds of enemies of their lives in an instant.
The soldiers of Lin Dashan were all hiding under the trenches, the national army had no accurate head, and the vision of the night was not good, most of them were empty guns, and there were very few bullets that hit the soldiers of the three regiments.
Seeing the comrades-in-arms beside him fall one by one, the courage of these rabble local national army troops who came for reward was suddenly exhausted, and I don't know who shouted to retreat, so they all began to retreat together.
"How can this be reasonable, order, those who dare to retreat will be treated as deserters, and there will be no mercy for killing." In the rear of the national army, a tall body stood like a mountain, and a cold voice came out without hesitation, it was Xue Yue, the commander of the 13th Division of the 2nd Army, who was famous in the national army.
He is a battle-hardened battlefield general, with outstanding military exploits and a deep weight of Chiang Kai-shek.
"Shiza, the firepower of the communist bandits is very fierce, and I am afraid that such a charge will cause a lot of losses!" The deputy division commander saw that his soldiers were constantly falling, and his eyes were a little anxious, and he subconsciously said something.
"Hmph, rabble, what's the benefit!" Xue Yue snorted coldly, the cold-blooded order made the deputy division commander a little frightened, and then looked at it with a telescope through the moonlight, and said: "Maoshan, this communist bandit is moving fast, I am afraid that the large army has already crossed the Jinsha River, leaving this small number of troops to delay us, it seems that the captain of the flight team has told a lie!" ”
"How is that possible?" Deputy division commander Chen Maoshan took the telescope handed over by Xue Yue with a shocked face, and after some observation, his brows tightened, and sure enough, he saw from a distance that the vanguard of the Red Army had gradually moved away.
"Shizuo, I'm going to give the order, quickly eliminate this blocking bandit, and continue to pursue the main force of the enemy."
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not interesting if the mouse is caught so easily" Xue Yue smiled, not caring about Chen Maoshan's anxiety at all, he gently tidied up the white gloves on his hand, and when they were smooth, he raised his head to look at the battlefield in the distance, and said lightly: "Maoshan, is our division vanguard special force already in place?" ”
"It's already here, just waiting for your order, and the artillery battalion of our division is also on standby, if it weren't for the obstruction of the line of sight, I'm afraid it would have been able to fire artillery at this time."
"Very well, let's let these shitties charge first! I know Lin Dashan, the commander and fighter on the other side, although he is a mud leg, but I have to say that he is very good at fighting, recently our department has been planted in his hands, not a good master to deal with, I am afraid that there is a hidden killing intention, let these cannon fodder go to test and test first!
In addition......" Xue Yue attached himself to Chen Maoshan's ear and explained.
"Yes! The division is wise. Chen Maoshan was stunned and immediately took the order.
The order was issued, the retreat was killed, and Chen Maoshan arranged for a part of the elite troops to participate in the battle, taking the lead in launching a fierce attack, which boosted morale, and the national army, which was already about to be defeated, restrained the disadvantage alive and again launched a charge in coercion and inducement.
"Regiment commander, there are too many enemies, and it looks like the regular army of the national army has joined the battlefield, and the soldiers have suffered a lot of casualties, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand it if it continues like this." Seeing that the national army, which had already shown signs of rout, suddenly launched a brazen charge, Zhao Zhuang, the commander of the third battalion, said helplessly.
"Grandma's, there's a big fish on the other side!" Lin Dashan showed a wry smile, the strength was not equal, the weapons and equipment were inferior to the other party, and he could not retreat, he lost the strategy of destroying the enemy in the last movement, and the commanders and fighters of the national army were old Jiang on the battlefield, this battle can be said to have fallen into an unfavorable situation from the beginning.
Immediately no longer hesitated, Lin Dashan ordered: "Third battalion commander, throw grenades according to the original plan, but remember to Lao Tzu, only half of the original plan is allowed." ”
"Yes!" Although he didn't understand it, Zhao Zhuang still took the order and left.
"Xue Yue, commander of the 13th Division of the Second Army of the National Army, hmph, Lao Tzu wants to meet you well." Looking at the information handed over by the scout in his hand, Lin Dashan was thoughtful, he was no stranger to Xue Yue's name, the leader of the Huangfu Military Academy!
The battle continues, and there are lives dying every moment, some from the enemy, some from their own side, and this tragic battlefield has long been full of devastation, ruins, and a tragic image of nine hells.
Nearly dawn, the sky was already covered with white fish belly, the light of the morning sun was faintly scattered from the east, and an extremely exaggerated roar sounded, temporarily repelling the attack of the national army, and startled Xue Yue, who was commanding the battle, and immediately rushed out of the camp with a telescope.
"Good guy, this Lin Dashan is really cunning, he actually prepared such a play, and his family is rich." Xue Yue looked at the grenades that fell like raindrops and laughed, and by the way, he took the tea handed over by the deputy division commander Chen Maoshan, and said calmly after taking a sip: "Maoshan, give the order, the enemy has exposed the hole cards, it's time for us to perform, let the artillery battalion bomb long-range, and then the vanguard will hold the submachine gun of the whole regiment to press, and finally launch a full charge, give me to destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time." ”
"Yes!" Chen Maoshan took the order and left, leaving Xue Yue who still had an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, "Lin Dashan, Lin Dashan, can you stop it this time?" ”
In the trenches, watching the clouds of small mushrooms rising in front of him, and the roaring explosions echoing in his ears, Han Xin, who had already killed dozens of enemies with excellent marksmanship, looked at the hellish misery caused by thousands of grenades with a shocked expression.
The war in the era of thermal weapons is really more terrifying, compared to the wars in his memory of the later generations and the small military exercises in the previous life, I don't know how many times more tragic, a touch will have thousands of stumps and broken bodies left, which makes people shudder, compared to the anti-Japanese war TV series in his later memory, it is too real, too tragic.
"Boy, it's scared! Hehe, that's enough for the enemy to drink a pot. The commander of the third battalion was supervising the battle nearby, and when he saw that Han Xin, who had always been calm, he also showed a shocked expression, but his black face, which had already been covered with dust, grinned.
"Well, indeed...... The battalion commander is careful", before Han Xin could finish speaking, he saw a cannonball in the sky smashing towards Zhao Zhuang's position with a graceful trajectory that represented death, and immediately a flying pounce knocked down Zhao Zhuang who had not yet reacted in his daze.
And where Han Xin's front foot left, the same explosion sounded, and this roar was like lighting a bundle of tens of thousands of cannons.
Boom Boom! Continuously, a sound more violent than the grenades thrown by the Red Army soldiers just now began to resound in this space, the whole world roared, and even the earth seemed to begin to tremble, and the artillery battalion of the National Army finally opened its formation.
Casualties also began to spread like a plague, and with a burst of artillery fire, the trenches dug by the Red Army soldiers were almost filled in and turned into crooked paths completely covered with dust, and after the artillery fire stopped, everything seemed extraordinarily quiet, as if there was no more sound.
Until, the heads of the three and three shook the dust and lifted up, and opened a somewhat blurry, but always spiritual gaze.
"Battalion commander, battalion commander, battalion commander, wake up."
"Your boy's name is ...... What about the soul, can Lao Tzu hang up so easily? Tell you, cough cough, the person who can want our old Zhao life has not been born yet! Zhao Zhuang spat out a mouthful of dust and glared at Han Xin.
"This, I'm your savior!" For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Han Xin smiled and made a joke, but he didn't want Zhao Zhuangniao to bird him, and said with a dark face: "Lao Tzu is your battalion commander, the grace of saving his life is a fart, if you kid has something to do, Lao Tzu is not the same desperate to save you, besides, your kid sold me in front of the regiment commander last time, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" ”
"It's really a grudge" Han Xin smiled bitterly and touched his nose, and when he inadvertently looked behind Zhao Zhuang, his hair suddenly stood on end, and he pressed Zhao Zhuang to the ground again, dodging a series of rushing bullets, and said bitterly: "If we can see the sun tomorrow, you can settle the account." ”
"Fuck" Zhao Zhuang was still a little unhappy Han Xin pressed himself again, looked up, was dumbfounded, retracted his head into the trench again, and scolded: "This old Jiang's team is really rich, grandma's, if we have such equipment, we can't win the battle!" ”
However, not far from the trenches, more than a dozen members of the special task force of the 13th Division of the National Army each had a submachine gun in their hands, and they ran rampant.
The ferocity of the fire made many soldiers who had just survived the artillery fire resentful.
