Chapter 140: The Battle of Songpan Ends
Just when the Ding Delong Brigade was dying and struggling, Li Wenwen, as a reinforcement, was also in great danger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The terrain of the 2nd Division's ambush was much better than that of the 1st Division, and it was located just between the Luochong Valley Road, which was flanked by some low dirt slopes, and the soil slopes were overgrown with pine trees, which were very easy to hide the troops, and it was a good place for ambushes.
Therefore, when Ding Wei arranged the ambush position, he separately deployed the artillery battalion artillery and heavy firepower companies of the division on both sides of the valley road, and the two main forces of the second brigade and the fifth brigade were also deployed on both sides of the valley road, so as to evenly distribute the troops.
As for the tail end of the valley road, that is the matter of Zhou Weiguo of the third division. However, Ding Wei was determined to take advantage of the strong firepower of the Second Division, and a firepower assault overturned the enemy's Second Brigade in the valley road, although he ate meat himself, he did not want to leave the soup for Zhou Weiguo to drink.
After the enemy's independent brigade passed through the valley road, although a battle broke out soon after, in order to quickly reinforce the enemy's independent brigade, the enemy's second brigade did not arrange a search force in front at all, and directly plunged into the ambush circle of the second division.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Ding Wei immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the 2nd and 5th Brigades to take advantage of the terrain to quickly move closer to the preset ambush position in Gudao, and when the whole division entered the ambush position, he immediately ordered the artillery battalion and the heavy fire company to quickly establish positions on both sides.
At this time, the enemy's 2nd Brigade had completely entered the ambush circle of the 2nd Division.
Hearing the fierce battle sound of guns and cannons in the direction of the independent brigade in front, Li Wen, who was riding a tall horse, vaguely felt that something was wrong, and many years of battlefield experience had made him form a sensitive sixth sense, and Li Wen felt that there seemed to be two eagle-like eyes staring at him fiercely in the dark.
Feeling that something was wrong, Li Wen immediately jumped out of the saddle and hid in the middle of the guards to hide himself. Looking around, there was no abnormality around. But when Li Wen listened carefully, there seemed to be many sounds of leaves turning on both sides of the valley road.
Yang Deliang, the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Second Brigade, saw that the brigade seat was embarrassed and turned over and dismounted, thinking that the brigade seat was not feeling well, so he hurriedly ran to him to salute and report.
Li Wen scolded in his mouth: "Your mother, how many times have you said it, you are not allowed to stand up and salute on the battlefield, you don't want to die!" ”
Yang Deliang stood up and said aggrievedly: "Luzao, I saw that you almost fell off the horse, and I thought you were not feeling well." The humble duty is too concerned about you, so I didn't pay attention to it for a while, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”
Li Wen saw that the other party really only cared about himself, and he was angry and moved for a while. But now is not the time to pursue this problem, judging by his accurate sixth sense, most of the red bandits are ambushing themselves around the valley road, and now the rescue of the independent brigade is no longer the top priority, the key is how to bring the second brigade out of this gloomy valley road unconsciously.
Thinking of this, Li Wen whispered to Yang Deliang: "Deliang, I estimate that we have been ambushed by the red bandits, you immediately secretly organize a group of elite machine gunners, and we will use machine guns to open the way and rush out of this infiltrating valley road." ”
Yang Deliang didn't care, he laughed and said, "We are surrounded by red bandits? It's no better, we can't find them when we want to find them, but it's good, this red bandit actually got our idea, isn't this giving us heads! Brigade, you put a hundred hearts, as long as the red bandits dare to appear, I will immediately lead the five regiments to slaughter them, let the brigade you make a great contribution! ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Wen's order, he jumped out with an arrow step, beckoned his troops to search the dirt slopes on both sides of the valley road with a big grin.
While searching, Yang Deliang turned back to Li Wen and shouted: "Luzao, you are too worried, let alone the red bandits here, you haven't even seen a rabbit." After that, Yang Deliang laughed.
Li Wen looked at Yang Deliang's back with pity, and said secretly in his heart: "If a person wants to die, it will be difficult to save him, no, this Yang Deliang can't be counted on, so let's lead the guards to run away by myself!" ”
As if to confirm that Li Wen's sixth sense is indeed accurate, in Yang Deliang's laughter, a bullet "bang" passed through Yang Deliang's big mouth, and the careless Yang Deliang died like this.
Immediately afterward, Li Wen heard the sound of the artillery group firing. Listening to the sound, it seems that the mountain artillery and mortars are complete.
He looked up, oh my! The sky seemed to have fallen a string of skyfire meteors, and dazzling cannonballs flew through the sky and landed in the dense queue of the main road. All of a sudden, it was as if their troops were dancing in hell, wolves rushing and desperately dodging shells.
At the same time, the sound of bullets fired from heavy machine guns suddenly sounded on the other side of the mountain road, and Li Wen immediately tasted the taste of despair; on the dirt slope on the right side of the valley road, hundreds of heavy machine guns appeared at some point, and they sprayed endless bullets in the frantic shaking, causing the officers and men of the Second Brigade to jump to their feet.
There was no time to observe, there was no doubt that he had encountered an ambush by the elite troops of the red bandits, Li Wen didn't say a word, grabbed the submachine gun of the guards around him, and immediately broke through with his guard company.
The Red Army's firepower assault just now made Li Wen already frightened, and they all said that Hu Zongnan's first division was the first division in the country, and its firepower configuration was the most powerful, but compared with the powerful firepower of the Red Bandits, it was simply a drop in the bucket.
It's incredible to think about it, on the left side of the valley road is nearly a hundred mountain artillery and mortars; On the right side of the valley road were as many as fifty or sixty heavy machine guns lined up and firing wildly.
Damn! Such a firepower configuration, not to mention that the First Division does not have it, even the Japanese cannot have it, and Li Wen estimates that only Germany and France in Europe will be equipped with such powerful firepower.
Fighting against such a powerful enemy, Li Wen had to sigh that his life was declining, but before Li Wen could finish his sigh, the soldiers in front suddenly shouted in despair: "Brigade seat, we are dead!" ”
Li Wen raised his eyes and saw that about 100 meters ahead, mountain artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns were lined up, and countless gloomy muzzles were facing his troops.
Li Wen lamented in his heart: "How can his second brigade be able to bother the forces of the two divisions of the Red Bandits, what else can I say when encountering such an enemy, let's surrender obediently!" ”
Fortunately, the red bandits on the opposite side shouted loudly: "Surrender your guns and don't kill," and Li Wen had absolutely no intention of killing himself for the Standing Committee Chairman, so he simply raised his hands and surrendered.
With the surrender of brigade commander Li Wen, except for a small number of officers and men from Whampoa who stubbornly resisted and were killed by our army, most of the officers and men gave up their plans to break through the encirclement and obediently raised their hands and surrendered.
However, Ding Delong, who was outside the valley road, was worthy of Chang Kaishen's earnest teaching, and also worthy of the honor of the Whampoa soldiers, although he was different from our army's position, he still won the admiration of our soldiers and soldiers, and died heroically on the battlefield.
After more than three hours of fierce fighting, the Luochong ambush completely annihilated nearly 12,000 people from the two main brigades of Hu Zongnan's "First Division in the World," killed 4,500 enemies, captured more than 5,000 people below the enemy's brigade commander, and captured 21 mountain artillery pieces, 63 mortars, and a large number of weapons, ammunition, grain, and grass.
Shaozong suffered only 1,500 casualties, of which 700 were killed in battle, which can be called a brilliant victory. (To be continued.) )
