Wang Bogao did not expect at all that Li Yannian, the commander of the 9th Division, whom he had high hopes for, was not in much better situation than him, and while the 38th Division was ambushed, the 9th and 42nd Divisions were severely damaged by the Red Army at the same time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yannian, the word Jifu. Born on March 11, 1904, at the age of 20, he was introduced by Deng Tianyi and others to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and was a classmate of Xu Xiangqian, the commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Front Army. After graduating in November of the same year, he served as the platoon leader of the teaching regiment. In 1925, he followed Chang Kaishen to participate in two Eastern Crusades against Chen Jiongming's rebels, and served as the battalion commander of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the 1st Army of the People's Revolutionary Army. In 1926, he participated in the Northern Expedition. After the Northern Expeditionary Army conquered Wuchang in October 1926, the 22-year-old Li Yannian was already the commander of the Fifth Regiment of the Second Division of the First Army of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Army, transferred to the Second Division as deputy division commander in June 1932, and appointed as the commander of the Ninth Division in May 1932.

Li Yannian is a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa, and Jiang Dingwen is both his teacher and his old superior. Therefore, when the guns rang out in front, Li Yannian did not immediately go to the rescue of the 38th Division in front, but immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing, and then he took his adjutant and rode back for a while, hurriedly looking for Jiang Dingwen to ask for instructions and report.

Who knew that he searched all the teams of the 42nd Division, but no one found Jiang Dingwen's traces, even his guards were nowhere to be found, and asked Lin Qingyun, the commander of the 42nd Division, but he was also confused, and he didn't know anything.

Li Yannian chuckled in his heart, although he was a little disrespectful to Jiang Dingwen, the old superior, but he still had a bad association with Jiang Dingwen in his heart: Chief Jiang wouldn't have escaped from the battle, right?

After discussing with Lin Qingyun, Li Yannian ordered the troops to immediately form a battle formation, prepare for battle, and run forward to reinforce the 38th Division.

However, at this time, Li Yannian and Lin Qingyun did not expect that in the mountains and forests behind their troops, hundreds of mountain guns, mortars, and countless Hessesen heavy machine guns suddenly appeared.

Zhang Cheng, who was standing in the mountains and forests behind him with a telescope to observe, saw that the 9th Division had already joined the 42nd Division, and was making combat preparations, preparing to reinforce the 38th Division.

Zhang Cheng immediately ordered all heavy machine guns, mountain artillery, and mortars to aim at the 9th and 42nd Divisions and open fire. In an instant, swarms of shells and countless tongues of fire poured down on the heads of the 9th and 42nd Divisions, which were preparing to run forward in formation.

Because the 9th Division and the 42nd Division were sorting out their troops, their ranks were very neat and dense, which made them a fixed target for the artillery battalion and heavy firepower battalion of the Young Communist Division, and every shell would set off a blood-colored wave in the dense ranks.

The Young Communist Division had a large number of weapons, a sufficient reserve of ammunition, shells and bullets as if they did not need money, and did not give the 9th and 42nd Divisions a chance to react at all.

On both sides of the avenue are rugged mountains, even if the enemy wants to run, it is extremely difficult, overhead like a meteor falling to the ground like a rain of shells, blocking the waist to strafe the dense bullets like a wind poured out by hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, not to mention the Central Army of the People's Party, even the Japanese devils will die if they go up.

Therefore, when the shells and bullets seemed to be thrown endlessly, the KMT soldiers who had been hoping to catch their breath completely collapsed.

Li Yannian felt that his skull was aching, and he had countless questions in his heart that he wanted to answer: What the hell is going on? Didn't the Young Communist Division lie in ambush in front, how did it fall behind our army? Why is the firepower of the Young Communist Division so fierce, is it still the mud leg of the turtle drilling into the ravine in the impression?

No one answered these questions, and the Young Communist Division still answered him with a never-ending stream of shells and bullets. Li Yannian was completely stunned, he and Lin Qingyun's troops had just converged, and they were preparing to reorganize their troops and start a battle formation, reinforcing the 38th Division to prepare to join the battle, and they were immediately attacked by the strong firepower of the red bandits.

To tell the truth, the 9th Division and the 42nd Division are worthy of being born in the Central Army, and the array of the team is extremely good-looking, all of them are neat and tidy, but this is useless, this is a special war, not a military training performance, why are you so neatly lined up, is it convenient to be shot by the red bandits!

Shame, shame, what kind of battle did I fight, the strength of the two divisions, nearly 20,000 people, densely arranged on the mountain road, became a fixed target for red bandits, mountain artillery, mortars and heavy machine guns, even killing pigs could not be so convenient.

The commander of the red bandits is really clever, he actually grasped the timing so accurately, as long as he gave Li Yannian two minutes to start the battle formation, his team could disperse. Combined with the 38th Division, the strength of 30,000 people is enough to break through the encirclement of the red bandits, and even a counter-assault will end the red bandits.

What a brilliant feat, it's a pity that the red bandits didn't give themselves this opportunity, it was only a few minutes, their own troops were lost a third, and the brigade commander was also killed.

The artillery group and heavy machine gun group of the red bandits leaned slightly towards the 42nd Division, and Li Yannian had a chance to crawl out of the corpses of the guards who were killed.

Some of the soldiers fled along the mountain road to both sides, some lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and the most of them actually knelt on the ground, threw down their rifles and raised their hands to surrender to the Red Army.

Is this still the ace unit of the Central Army? Shame, shame! Is the principal still the Central Army of the Great Wall? Bring the soldiers into this ghostly appearance, do I, Li Yannian, still have the face to live in the world?

Thinking of this, Li Yannian, who was deeply influenced by the Huangpu school motto and the idea of becoming a benevolent person if he did not succeed, smiled bitterly, raised the Burknin pistol that Chang Kaishen rewarded him and was about to commit suicide, but the guards around him took his hand and persuaded him bitterly: "Master, you must not commit suicide, it is Commander-in-Chief Jiang Dingwen who abandoned the troops first, we are affected by him, and the failure of this battle is not the crime of my 9th Division!" ”

Li Yannian thought about it, if he hadn't been able to find Jiang Dingwen after the 38th Division was attacked, he might have led his troops to reinforce the 38th Division earlier, where would he have been dumpled by red bandits in the middle of the mountain road, all of this was caused by Jiang Dingwen.

At this moment, Li Yannian completely forgot the identity of Jiang Dingwen's old superiors and leaders, and just wanted to put all the blame on Jiang Dingwen.

After figuring it out, Li Yannian hurriedly picked up a set of clothes for the fallen soldiers, changed them, and took the guards into the mess of the rout.
