Chapter 101: Sichuan Army! Sichuan Army! (xv)
When the smoke cleared, he pushed away the guards and officers who were stacked on top of him, and limped to his feet. A large hole had been cut in his left calf by shrapnel or a stone, and the flesh was rolled up and dripping with blood, and Bai Sensen's bones could almost be seen.
He was able to survive the powerful explosion because he was on the edge of the Sichuan Army's artillery position, and because several loyal guards and officers around him gave him hope of survival.
Looking around, the artillery positions of the Sichuan Corps had been razed to the ground. As far as the eye can see, there are only huge potholes tens of meters long and wide, broken scorched tree stumps, and a piece of artillery that has become scrap copper and rotten iron in the east and west, and ...... The mutilated corpses of Beiyang Army soldiers are all over the ground.
Yan Enrong pinched his chest, his eyes were red, his throat was sweet, and a trace of scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
This move is so vicious, it is simply a sharp knife with quenching poison and stabbing at Enrong's heart.
Although the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army suffered only a few hundred casualties, the blow to the morale of the 2nd Mixed Brigade was huge.
The first moment they were ecstatic because of the capture of 100 guns of seven or five calibers, but the next moment they were hit so hard that even the soldiers of the 2nd Mixed Brigade who were not affected by ⊥the big explosion on the periphery were extremely depressed.
After a while, the soldiers of the 2nd Mixed Brigade who came to check the situation quickly found that Yang Enrong was still alive, and finally the backbone of the main body was not completely removed.
An officer asked for instructions to Enrong, "My lord, what should we do next?" ”
"What to do...... What do I do, you ask? What to do with! Whichever way the Sichuan Army artillery regiment withdrew, it was to Lao Tzu to chase! Lao Tzu wants to take all the Sichuan artillery people first...... Chop one down, and the regimental leader will live...... Live...... Dig out his heart and cut it into slices for wine! Yan Enrong gritted his teeth and said, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out. His face covered in dust and blood was hideous and terrifying, like a bloodthirsty demon crawling up from under the Nine Abysses.
In fact, at this time, the best choice for the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army should be to go to the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army and the 1st Regiment, liberate the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army that was dragged, and then work together to directly attack the main force of the Sichuan Army. Maybe the first division of the Hubei Army can be rescued, and even the main force of the Sichuan Army is not impossible to give a counter-encirclement.
However, at this time, it was obvious that his head was full of anger and hatred, and he had lost his rational judgment. Moreover, if we do not retaliate against and annihilate the Sichuan Army Artillery Regiment, the culprit who caused the big explosion, it will be difficult to bring up the low morale of the 2nd Mixed Brigade from top to bottom.
Under such circumstances, the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army led the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army to launch an extremely crazy pursuit of the artillery regiment of the 1st Division of the Sichuan Army, which was retreating towards the main force of the Sichuan Army.
……
Boom -
A cannonball exploded, but with little effect. Basically, there were not many casualties inflicted on the soldiers of the 1st Division of the Hubei Army. First, because the soldiers of the First Division of the Hubei Army are no longer as dense as before, and secondly, because even if the soldiers of the First Division of the Hubei Army who are still alive today have bunkers as cover, even the piles of corpses of the First Soldier of the Hubei Army are the best bunkers.
In view of this, Wang Mo ordered the massive shelling to be stopped so as not to waste shells, and only fired one or two shells deterringly.
"Command, shout and surrender!" Wang Mo saw the situation of the first division of the Hubei Army almost collapsing, and immediately ordered to call for surrender, after all, it was a civil war. It's always good to have fewer deaths.
Soon after Wang Mena's order to surrender was given, Sichuan soldiers from all directions of the battlefield shouted over and over again: "Lay down your arms." Those who get out of bunker and surrender will not die! ”
"Lay down your arms and get out of bunker and surrender to avoid death!"
……
The shouts of the Sichuan soldiers to surrender became the last straw that overwhelmed the soldiers of the Hubei Army, and soldiers began to come out one after another to surrender to the Sichuan army despite the pressure of the officers.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-
There were even Hubei soldiers who mutinied, shot and killed the commander who was suppressed, and then walked out of the bunker and surrendered to the Sichuan army.
Facing the soldiers under his command going out in groups to surrender to the Sichuan army, Tang Keming, the commander of the first division of the Hubei Army, fell to the ground in despair. Full of despair: "It's over...... The Hubei army is finished...... Hubei is also finished......"
Tang Keming's eyes fell into despair, and he didn't notice that the eyes of the officers around him were getting darker and darker.
Bang -
A gunshot rang out from where Tang Keming was, echoing in the wilderness for a long time.
More than an hour later, most of the soldiers of the First Division of the Hubei Army surrendered to the Sichuan Army one after another, and the division commander Tang Keming was also murdered by his officers who wanted to ask the Sichuan Army to atone for their crimes. This was once awarded to General Zhaowei. Flying and domineering, insidious and cunning, in order to cling to Li Yuanhong, he even did not hesitate to change his surname to Li, and died tragically in the hands of his officers in such a barren mountain and wilderness.
The death of Tang Keming (Li Bentang) and the surrender of the vast majority of the remaining soldiers of the First Division of the Hubei Army officially ended the battle.
In this way, after nearly six hours of fierce fighting, the Sichuan Army gathered the main force of 150,000 people, and with its own casualties of less than 2,000 people, successfully ambushed and surrounded and annihilated the first division of the Hubei Army, which had nearly 10,000 people, and completely cut off the arms of the Hubei Army!
"The third regiment of the second division stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and watch the surrendered troops, and the rest of the troops immediately rushed back with me to reinforce the Jinyinhu battlefield!" Wang Mo knew very well that the situation on the Jinyin Lake side must have been extremely critical, so he did not delay any longer, and immediately ordered the troops to rush to the Jinyin Lake battlefield for reinforcements as soon as the battle ended.
Wang Mo's side ended the battle, and the fierce gunfire completely subsided. Such an obvious change, of course, Cai Hanqing on the other side of Jinyin Lake immediately noticed it, which made him both restless and full of despair.
The heavy gunfire completely subsided, which meant that the battle over there was completely over.
Cai Hanqing wanted to tell himself that it might be that the First Division had completely routed and annihilated the main force of the Sichuan Army. However, it is clear that even if he hypnotizes himself over and over again, he cannot believe such fantasies.
The first division has ended, and this conclusion made Cai Hanqing very desperate, and his heart was gloomy and miserable.
Thinking that the first division was annihilated, the second division was also in danger, the Sichuan army captured Wuhan, and then the Kuomintang revived. As a traitor to the Kuomintang Party, he will definitely not end well, Cai Hanqing's eyes suddenly became red, and a hysteria caused by despair came out of his heart.
Dada-
The intense machine-gun fire pulled Cai Hanqing back in despair, telling him that the brutal fighting was still going on here.
"Since you don't let Lao Tzu live, then don't fucking think about it!" Cai Hanqing's eyes were full of fierceness, and he ordered loudly to the herald. "Order, the artillery team immediately launched a comprehensive artillery bombardment of the Sichuan army, and all the shells were all fired by Lao Tzu!"
Cai Hanqing didn't know that the artillery regiment of the 1st Division of the Sichuan Army was raided by the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, so he kept the artillery team hidden, for fear of discovering the location of the Sichuan Army Artillery Regiment. Now that he had completely put aside all scruples and ordered an artillery bombardment, he obviously had the idea of biting the Sichuan army even if the artillery team was destroyed.
After Lu Dayong lost the artillery support of the artillery regiment, the artillery of the Second Division of the Hubei Army began to play a huge role.
Boom-boom-boom-
The artillery team of the Second Division of the Hubei Army, which had been holding on for a long time, smashed one shell after another into the positions of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army, especially the machine gun positions that posed a huge threat to the charging soldiers of the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army.
"Shelling. Hide quickly—"
Hearing the shrill whistling of shells breaking through the air, the sub-gunner on the machine gun position shouted to alert the main gunner who was firing excitedly, and at the same time tried to knock down the main gunner to hide.
However, it was too late!
Boom -
An artillery shell slammed down, and the Makqin heavy machine gun, which had caused countless casualties to the soldiers of the Second Division of the Hubei Army, was immediately blown into scrap metal, and the main and auxiliary machine gunners were also swept away by the scorching air wave generated by the explosion, and countless bursts of shrapnel pierced into their fragile bodies, completely cutting off all the vitality in their bodies.
Similar scenarios keep happening. The casualties of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army increased in vain, especially the machine gun squads.
The blockade line of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Sichuan Army gradually appeared a gap under the heavy shelling of the artillery of the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army. The soldiers of the 2nd Division of the Hubei Army took the opportunity to launch an unprecedented ferocious attack towards the gap.
"Retreat, retreat on all fronts immediately!" Lu Dayong looked at his subordinates who were suffering increasing casualties, and he was so distressed that he was about to vomit blood, and immediately gave the order to retreat.
The gunfire on the battlefield on the side of the main force completely subsided, and Lu Dayong of course also noticed it, and also guessed the fact that the main force had annihilated the first division of the Hubei Army. He blocked and delayed the combat mission of the Second Division of the Hubei Army, which is why he ordered the retreat so neatly.
In fact, the mood was almost hysterical, and Cai Hanqing hoped that he would pay a huge price for casualties and completely annihilate the Sichuan army in front of him. However, he didn't expect it at all. Lu Dayong would choose to retreat so simply, which made him feel uncomfortable with a heavy punch in the air.
……
"Chase! Chase! Give Lao Tzu a little faster! If you let these bastards of the Sichuan Army Artillery Regiment run away, Lao Tzu will pull out your skin! While riding his horse and galloping, he shouted that the soldiers of the 2nd Mixed Brigade were desperate to pursue the artillery regiment of the 1st Division of the Sichuan Army, which was retreating at full speed.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-
Gunshots rang out, and from time to time running Sichuan soldiers raised their heads to shoot, and soldiers from the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army also shot at the fleeing Sichuan soldiers while running.
The bullets were fired back and forth, and the soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the Beiyang Army were constantly shot, and then fell to the ground, and then were trampled by countless soldiers, and there was absolutely no possibility of survival.
At this moment of life and death, the overall quality of the troops was revealed, and the Sichuan Army was obviously inferior to the Beiyang Army.
The soldiers of the Sichuan army felt the threat behind them, and they were all a little flustered, and the speed of their continuous running slowed down, even if they turned around and raised their guns to shoot, there was no accuracy at all.
The soldiers of the Beiyang Army are very experienced, and most of the veterans do not have to look down at the gun, but pull the bolt to load the bullet based on experience alone, and the frequency of raising the gun to shoot is much faster than that of the soldiers of the Sichuan Army.
Seeing that the 2nd Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army is chasing closer and closer, it is about to entangle most of the artillery regiment of the 1st Division of the Sichuan Army.
At this time, a large number of Sichuan soldiers suddenly appeared on the left flank and fired at the platoon of soldiers of the Beiyang Army who were fiercely pursuing
