Chapter 81: Defeat the Stubborn Enemy
Before the whole army launched the attack, the Central Army of the Kuomintang first carried out a 10-minute rapid artillery fire, and planes in the air also came to support, pouring aerial bombs on the positions of the Young Communist Division. The position of the Young Communist Division www.biquge.info immediately suffered unprecedented pressure.
Immediately afterwards, the enemy's 5th Division, which was the reserve, pressed on the whole division, which meant that Zhou Hunyuan had no backhand, and he had already bet all his bets, and once the attack failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, after the enemy's 5th Division joined the attack, the pressure on the positions of the Young Communist Division increased unprecedentedly sharply, especially the frontal defense line where the 2nd Brigade was located, and the 1st Brigade was used to block the attack of the 2nd Division.
The officers and men of the Second Brigade relied on the dilapidated fortifications to put up a strong resistance, the two sides were repeatedly entangled, the positions changed hands several times, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ding Wei could not care about hiding at this critical juncture, and immediately ordered the newly formed artillery battalion to carry out rapid artillery bombardment against the follow-up troops of the Central Army.
"Boom ......"
The sound of violent explosions sounded in the dense battle formation of the enemy's 5th Division, and the wave-like attack of the Central Army of the Kuomintang suddenly stalled, the smooth attack rhythm was suddenly disrupted, and the officers and men of the 2nd Brigade finally won a chance to breathe. Then Ding Wei again ordered the artillery battalion to bombard without stopping and to carry out uninterrupted continuous artillery bombardment of the enemy until the enemy attack was repulsed.
Just when the enemy's 5th Division joined the ranks of the Kuomintang Central Army's attack, the political commissar commanded more than 10,000 officers and men of the 1st, 4th, and 5th brigades to fight out of the high mountains and dense forests and rush wildly towards the battlefield full of flames.
Just now, when the Central Army put three divisions into the attack, Zhang Cheng wanted to order the political commissar to take action, but through the telescope, he saw that the enemy also had a 5th division as a reserve, and Zhang Cheng forcibly held back.
However, when he saw that the enemy had put the reserves into the attack, and the battle between the two sides had been unprecedentedly fierce, Zhang Cheng knew that the opportunity had come, and at this time it was easiest to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, causing the enemy to collapse, and the snake was about to hit seven inches.
After the three mountain guns on the city wall were fired one shot, the Zhu Yuan was quickly corrected, and then the sixty mountain guns opened fire at the same time, and the sixty huge mountain artillery shells accurately landed on the enemy's artillery position.
Immediately afterwards, the enemy's artillery positions were covered in smoke, and before the enemy artillery could react, shells continued to fall like a torrential rain. The commander of the enemy artillery battalion reluctantly gave the order to abandon the position, and the artillerymen who were lucky enough to survive could not even take care of the artillery, so they hurriedly fled for their lives.
The enemy's artillery position was just an appetizer, and then the nightmare of the enemy infantry followed, and nearly a hundred mortars of the artillery regiment also began to shell, one time was more than a hundred mortar shells, smashed into the enemy's dense attack formation, the enemy formation that was on the offensive immediately began to be chaotic, the fierce orders of the supervising officers, the cries and howls of the soldiers were intertwined, like a hellish scene.
If the bombardment of the artillery regiment only opened the door of hell for the enemy, then the more than 10,000 soldiers under the leadership of the political commissar really pushed the enemy into hell.
Still a familiar recipe, a familiar taste, the commissar arranged the machine guns of the three brigades at the head, launched a deadly surprise attack from the enemy's rear, and shot out a shuttle bullet at the enemy's back, when the machine guns were all finished with a shuttle, the soldiers grabbed the grenade from their belts and threw it into the crowd of enemy troops, "boom" An earth-shattering explosion, the enemy after enjoying the bullet package, made matters worse, and ate the grenade feast of the Young Communist Division.
The 99th, 13th, 96th, and finally 5th Division, tens of thousands of officers and men jumped and wailed on the endless network of artillery shells and machine-gun bullets.
Zhou Hunyuan looked at the extremely tragic scene in front of him, closed his eyes in pain, at this moment, he had to lower his arrogant head, admitting that he was defeated by Zhang Cheng again, and couldn't help but sigh desolate in his heart.
The following division commanders don't care about Zhou Hunyuan's sad state of mind, the red bandits are about to attack, life and death are just around the corner, they crawled to Zhou Hunyuan, Guo Siyan said boldly: "Military seat, our army was flanked by the red bandits before and after, and couldn't move, if this continues, everyone must be ready to die or be taken prisoner." ”
When the division commanders saw Guo Siyan making a suggestion, everyone said in a gossipy manner: "Military seat, the firepower of the red bandits is too fierce, if we don't retreat, all of them will die!" ”
Zhou Hunyuan's judgment as a professional soldier was still there, and he knew that the battle situation had returned to the sky, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Withdraw!" ”
Then, he then ordered: "Division Commander Guo's 99th Division has attacked the most fiercely, and it has fallen behind the team, so let the 99th Division be behind the palace, be sure to stop the red bandits." In this way, the 5th Division was in front, the 13th and 96th Divisions were in the center, and the 99th Division was behind, and the whole army retreated quickly. The correspondent contacted the Air Force again and ordered them to cover our retreat. ”
Several division commanders immediately took the order and left, only Guo Siyan stayed where he was stunned and didn't leave, which obviously made his palace greatly discourage his enthusiasm for retreating.
Zhou Hunyuan just patted Guo Siyan on the shoulder comfortingly: "Brother wants to open a little, if you want to withdraw the large army, there will always be people who have to sacrifice, but don't worry, as long as you can come back alive, I will definitely ask the chairman of the committee to give priority to replenishing your troops and rebuilding the 99th Division." ”
After listening to Zhou Hunyuan's comfort, Guo Siyan left angrily, but as soon as he returned to the array of the 99th Division, he immediately greeted his henchmen and guards, and without making any arrangements and instructions to the officers and men of the 99th Division, he pulled a soldier's uniform and quietly slipped away.
Just when the large forces of the Central Army were retreating, Zhang Cheng raised his hand upwards on the city wall, and then waved down vigorously, and suddenly all the soldiers of the Young Communist Division rushed out of the city gate, jumped out of the trenches, and pursued the retreating enemy frantically.
At the same time, more than 10,000 soldiers led by the political commissar also launched a general charge against the enemy, and under the front and rear attacks, the enemy wolves rushed and fled everywhere like headless flies, suffering heavy casualties.
However, in order to reduce the losses of the troops, the Young Communist Division did not strictly block the enemy's retreat route, but deliberately leaked a way for the enemy to escape, and then the Young Communist Division pressed the whole army and pursued all the way along the enemy's escape channel.
It is still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste, and all the soldiers of the Young Communist Division chased the enemy for more than ten miles and returned with a great victory.
