Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Battle of Dayu Township IV

After the enemy's 9th Division was defeated, Zhang Cheng immediately ordered the artillery battalion and the heavy fire battalion to shift direction and concentrate their forces on attacking the enemy's 42nd Division. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the Young Communist Division focused on attacking the 9th Division, Lin Qingyun, the commander of the 42nd Division, also issued an order for the troops to quickly open fire and counterattack. Lin Qingyun even thought that his counterattack would quickly break through the encirclement of the red bandits, but while fighting, he suddenly found that the firepower of the Young Communist Division became stronger in an instant, and the shells and bullets poured out towards his soldiers as if they didn't want money.

Lin Qingyun figured out at this time that the Young Communist Division he met was definitely not a "pawn" of the Workers' and Peasants' Party who abandoned the pawn to protect the car, but a "car" that would hit and kill people!

This battle is completely a conspiracy, and the loss of the Red Bandit Stone City is all premeditated, just to attract our army to pursue and enter the trap preset by the Red Bandits!

But how did the red bandits come around to the back of our army, could it be that they were heavenly soldiers and generals who made something out of nothing?

Of course, Lin Qingyun didn't know that there was a huge nameless valley less than three miles away from the mountain road, and if Lin Qingyun wanted to blame, he could only blame them for being carried away by the short-term victory, and they rushed into the Red Army's ambush circle without even sending out a search team.

Lin Qingyun, who couldn't figure it out, simply gave up the superfluous thoughts in his heart, and immediately ordered the troops to turn around, and all the troops launched a group charge, and went all out to break through to the slopes on both sides of the mountain road.

The soldiers of the Young Communist Division would let the enemy get their wish, seeing the officers and men of the 42nd Division crawling all over the hillside, and the soldiers who were ambushed in the trenches on the hillside, under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, collectively threw grenades at the enemy, and the officers and men of the 42nd Division seemed to have encountered a thunderbolt from the sky, and were suddenly blown up by a rain of grenades, and they were suddenly in chaos.

Lin Qingyun lamented, what kind of clever commander he encountered, improvisation is really first-class, this grenade rain is the most powerful weapon for short-range killing, it is inexpensive and very useful. It seems that the other party has calculated every step of his move, and he can only break through desperately and retreat in the direction of Guangchang, hoping to meet the large army of Chief Chen Cheng and be rescued by the 50,000 army led by him.

Jiang Dingwen fled, and Lin Qingyun could only contact Chen Cheng, who ordered the chief of staff to immediately send a telegram to Chief Chen Cheng, requesting his rapid reinforcements. Little did they know that Chen Cheng's large army was harassed to death by the guerrillas of the Workers' and Peasants' Party on the road from Lichuan to Guangchang, marching at a speed like a turtle, and paying the price of several soldiers' lives for every mile advanced.

Asking Chen Cheng for reinforcements was ineffective, Lin Qingyun knew that he should let go of all his illusions and fight desperately for his own life, he summoned a death squad, all wearing steel helmets, all light machine guns and submachine guns, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, my 42nd Division was ambushed by red bandits, there are no rescue soldiers outside, there is no heart to fight to the death, it has reached the critical moment of life and death, I will personally lead you to open a way of life for the whole division." The whole division below me, the brigade commander, the regiment commander, the battalion company and platoon commander, all the officers must take the lead in the charge, and whoever takes a step back, Lao Tzu will kill him. The goal of this battle is to seize the commanding heights of the mountain peak, and wait for reinforcements after success. The first one rushed up, and Lao Tzu rewarded him with a hundred oceans. ”

Most of the death-daring commandos are composed of grass-roots officers, most of whom are Whampoa students, and a small number of elite soldiers selected from the guards and reconnaissance battalions.

Until the moment of life and death, Lin Qingyun was reluctant to summon it, this is the essence of the 42nd Division, if you lose them, the 42nd Division will be finished. But what else can be said at this time? If you don't fight, the 42nd Division will die today.

Lin Qingyun took the lead, as if returning to the passionate years of the Northern Expedition, and rushed to the hillside with a death-defying commando composed of most officers.

Seeing the enemy roaring and rushing up the hillside, the officers and men of the Young Communist Division on the position also knew that the enemy was going to fight hard, and mortars and heavy machine guns continued to hit the death commandos, and the most fierce daredevils were quickly beaten into a sieve.

Lin Qingyun, who was originally charging forward with the daredevils, pretended to be physically exhausted and fell behind after rushing a few steps, watching the daredevils continue to be harvested by the red bandits on the hillside, Lin Qingyun only felt a cold feeling in his heart.

Lin Qingyun felt that he had never encountered such an aggrieved battle in his life, he couldn't see an enemy at all, his troops became targets below, and he could only see countless shells and bullets flying in the sky, tearing his troops apart. And at this time, the enemy has not yet launched a charge, and it seems that the enemy wants to annihilate his troops here!

"These red bandits are so vicious!" Lin Qingyun kept lamenting.

Seeing his familiar faces fall in a pool of blood one by one, Lin Qingyun let out a long sigh, put down the gun in his hand, and raised his hands high.

Seeing that his division commander put down his gun, one by ten, ten by hundred, the officers and soldiers around him also gave up resistance, threw their guns aside, and raised their hands in surrender.

The gunfire finally stopped, and the battlefield suddenly became dead silent. After a long time, there were earth-shattering cheers from the hillside.

Zhang Cheng saw that the enemy army had completely no resistance, and that he was also Chinese, so he naturally would not rush to kill them all, so he ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet of the charge, and at this moment, the Red Army soldiers all over the mountains rushed down from the hillside, and everywhere the red flag was unfurled, and everywhere there was laughter, and victory came.

Seeing the enemy troops below kneeling on the ground and surrendering in the face of the Red Army's bayonets, Political Commissar Xiao Hua smiled, and he sighed to Zhang Cheng: "The division commander is the division commander, and the annihilation of the three divisions of the Kuomintang Army in one fell swoop this time is an unprecedented victory since the founding of our army!" ”

"Well, I don't know what happened to Li Yunlong's side, when Jiang Dingwen poured out, I ordered him to lead the first brigade to retake Shicheng, I don't think there should be any surprises!"

"Division commander, political commissar, good news, good news, the first brigade completely annihilated the defenders of Stone City, and captured a big man alive." The telegraph operator cheered and ran towards Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng took the telegram, smiled at a glance, and smiled extremely brightly, rode his war horse and ran towards Shicheng County, hahaha, even Jiang Dingwen, the commander-in-chief, was captured alive, what else is there to worry about, the rest of the matter will be handled by the political commissar, and he can finally sleep well.

Seeing his division commander happily riding a war horse towards the county seat, Xiao Hua took the telegram and looked at it, he also smiled, and he smiled as happily as Zhang Cheng.
