Section 44 Niuhang Station (16)
Xue Yue sat opposite Zhuang Jihua, his eyes were bloodshot, his military uniform was dirty, and he had no idea. Zhuang Jihua racked his brains to recall the war examples he saw in his previous life, but unfortunately he is not a military fan, and his understanding of the war in his previous life is what he saw on movies and television.
When the two were relatively speechless, the front came to report, saying that the position of Li Junyi's troops was chaotic and did not know what they were doing, and then the south also came to report that Yang Geng and the troops seemed to have withdrawn.
Zhuang Jihua and Xue Yue glanced at each other, and there was surprise in their eyes, "I'll go and have a look." Xue Yue got up, grabbed his military hat and buckled it on his head.
After Li Junyi returned, he became more and more angry, and in anger, he ordered his troops to withdraw from their positions overnight, assemble in the rear, and prepare to go north at dawn. Li Junyi's actions caught Zheng Junyan off guard, so he had to order an immediate adjustment of the deployment, Peng Dequan's troops were transferred to the front, and Yang Genghe abandoned the southern ferry and returned to the eastern front to join forces with Liang Hongen. Such a move is very dangerous, once Zhuang Jihua detects it and takes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, it will be difficult to stabilize the front with their current chaotic situation.
It's a pity that Zhuang Jihua didn't know all this, his and Xue Yue's judgment was that the outer line troops had made significant progress, and the enemy was forced to make adjustments, and the two of them ruled out the possibility of a surprise attack at the same time, because they dared to make such an adjustment, it was impossible to have no alert troops, and at this time, the attack was likely to fall into the enemy's trap.
Wars continue to be played out in the wrong way and out of the wrong way.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Zheng Junyan gave the order to start the offensive, and as usual, heavy shelling, and then ,... No then. Only sporadic gunfire rang out ahead.
Zheng Junyan was surprised and rushed out of the command post to observe, this could not help but be furious, the attacking troops were all lying down a hundred meters away and firing their guns, and the defenders at the station only returned fire with sporadic gunfire, and most of them just watched and watched.
"What's going on?" Zheng Junyan asked Peng Dequan sharply, Peng Dequan didn't expect this to happen, he wiped the sweat on his face nervously, and didn't know how to answer.
On the other side, Liang Hongen and Yang Genghe couldn't even organize an attack, and the battalion commander in charge of the attack knelt straight in front of Yang Genghe, his eyes were tearful, and he pleaded: "Brigade commander! Leave some seeds for our old Zhejiang army! It's been eleven days! Look at how many people we have left, if we continue to fight, the old Zhejiang army will be all gone! ”
After the words were finished, the surrounding officers were all gloomy, Yang Genghe and Liang Hongen looked blank, after Li Junyi's troops left, all the officers and soldiers were looking forward to leaving Niuhang Station, and as soon as the troops assembled today, they found that the situation was not right, but they didn't expect the lower-level officers and soldiers to dare to openly resist the order.
"Battlefield disobedience! Is this a crime of killing the head? Yang Genghe scolded ruthlessly.
"The lowly ones know, but the lowly ones can't let them charge!" The battalion commander snorted and pointed to the troops in front of the position: "Brigade commander, you cut me down." ”
"I don't want your heads, I want you to lead them to charge and kill them into the cattle station!" Yang Genghe suddenly became irritable, he was already dissatisfied in his heart, if Zheng Junyan had let go of the West Road earlier, Zhuang Jihua would have left earlier, and Niuhang Station would have been taken down a long time ago, and he would not have paid such a big price at all.
"But they don't rush!" The battalion commander cried out in despair: "I can't cut them all." ”
Yang Genghe and Liang Hongen looked at each other, they also saw the situation just now, no matter how the officers forced, the soldiers rushed to a position of 300 meters and did not move, no matter how you beat and scolded, they just lay on the ground and did not move.
After Zheng Junyan received the report from Yang Genghe and Liang Hongen, he felt that things were in trouble, and just before he could come up with a solution, the worse news came, and Jinxian was lost.
Chiang Kai-shek's strict order made Gu Zhutong dare not take it lightly, he transferred the newly arrived Lai Shihuang to the front line, and transferred his headquarters to the front line to attack, Jinxian outside the city of artillery fire, the Northern Expeditionary Army braved the rain of bullets on the city to seize the city, Cai Xisheng and other regiment commanders personally braved the rain of bullets to attack the city, the artillery was also loaded with bayonets and pulled to the city to shoot at close range, under the continuous fierce attack, the east first opened the gap, Wei Lihuang personally led his troops to climb the city tower, the city wall was broken, the morale of the defenders collapsed, Jiang Zhenchen did not dare to return to Nanchang, but led the troops to flee to the east.
Zheng Junyan received this telegram after the cold, Jinxian lost, the Northern Expeditionary Army from the south only took one day to arrive at the city of Nanchang, Zhu Peide on the side of the Ganjiang River will not stand idly by, he crosses the Ganjiang River again, Nanchang is in the two sides of the attack, now Tang Fushan is still guarding the West Mountain, blocking the second army coming from the west, if the West Mountain is lost again, Niuhang Station is stuck here again, Nanchang can only give up.
"Under the heavy reward, a brave man will be formed, and a death squad will be formed, and each member will be a hundred oceans." Zheng Junyan almost roared and shouted: "I will immediately let the city send 100,000 oceans and 1,000 daredevils to take the Niuhang Station!" ”
Boxes of white flowers were placed in front of the array, Peng Dequan took a few pieces of Guangyang in his hand and played with it, making a crisp impact sound, he raised his eyes to look at the soldiers below: "Brothers! We have suffered heavy casualties, but the enemy casualties in the station are also large, there are not many of them, they only need to rush again, they are finished, these oceans are yours! ”
Saying that, Peng Dequan gently threw the ocean into the box, making a sparse noise, most people just looked at those Guangyang blankly, but a few people showed greedy eyes.
"Brethren! What are you waiting for, as long as you sign up, it's a hundred yuan, why is it fighting, isn't it just for money? The opportunity is just around the corner, come and sign up! ”
Under the encouragement of the officers, more than a dozen people ran up to lead the ocean, which was definitely not enough, Zheng Junyan immediately increased when he saw this: "Brothers! After the Niuhang Station, Xin Shuai also rewarded each person with a hundred oceans! In addition, if you kill a Northern Expeditionary Army, you will be rewarded with 100 oceans, 1,000 officers, and Zhuang Jihua, whether you live or die, you will be rewarded with 50,000 oceans! ”
The unprecedented reward finally allowed Peng Dequan to gather more than 700 people, and Peng Dequan handed him over to a regiment commander and asked him to lead his troops to charge, and Xu Jin was not allowed to retreat.
On the other side, Liang Hongen and Yang Genghe also gathered nearly 500 people, so the ocean was not enough, Zheng Junyan transferred another 50,000 oceans from the city, but as soon as this went around, the time was delayed, and the time for the attack was postponed to the afternoon, which was fatal.
After dawn, Zhuang Jihua and Xue Yue found that the enemy in the west and south was gone, the south was okay, but the west was intriguing, the enemy in the front was replaced by Peng Dequan, Yang Genghe ran to the eastern front, where did Li Junyi go? Zhuang Jihua never dreamed that Sun Chuanfang would transfer Li Junyi away.
"It seems that Zheng Junyan has arranged a 'way out' for us." Zhuang Jihua said to Xue Yue with a little mockery: "You said that Li Junyi would wait for us there?" ”
Xue Yue also didn't expect Li Junyi to be transferred, he looked at the map, pointed to a village more than ten miles west of the small temple, and his tone was a little hesitant: "It should be here, this place can take into account both the north and the south, we can't run by that line." ”
"Well," Zhuang Jihua nodded: "It's the same as I thought." Just let him wait there, however, Zheng Junyan's arrangement is a little strange. ”
"It's a little strange, could it be that Xishan is in danger," Xue Yue nodded, he knew what Zhuang Jihua meant, if Li Junyi was here, I am afraid that Niuhang Station would not be able to hold it today, Zheng Junyan did this obviously too much: "Where did Li Junyi go to support him?" ”
"Regardless of him, let's keep it today, and tomorrow for another day, and the task will be completed." Zhuang Jihua put away the map, almost all the other documents in the headquarters were burned, there was a fire in the room of the telecommunications department, once it was breached, the director of telecommunications had to burn the code book, the cryptographer, the confidential officer, and the director of telecommunications had to commit suicide, they all put their pistols within reach, and when the time came, they would shoot themselves in the head.
The artillery shells rained down, the inner walls of the station collapsed, the explosions came one after another, the dormitories on the east side were completely destroyed, the carriages blocking the road were blown up in all directions, and a few shells accurately landed on the roof of the waiting hall, which was half collapsed at that time, and the thick smoke choked people so that they could not open their eyes, and there were countless casualties in the headquarters.
After the shelling stopped, Zhuang Jihua stood up from the smoke and dust, suddenly felt a sharp pain, his eyes were dark, and then he fell on his back, which frightened Song Yunfei beside him, and hurriedly rushed to Zhuang Jihua's side and shouted: "Division commander!" Teachers! ”
After the Battle of Niuxing began, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Division unconsciously removed the sub-word on Zhuang Jihua's official rank. Hearing Song Yunfei's shout, Xue Yue also hurried over and shouted urgently: "Division Commander! Teachers! You can't die! ”
Song Yunfei and Xue Yue hurriedly carried Zhuang Jihua to the bunker next to the platform outside, and they saw clearly that three strands of blood came out of Zhuang Jihua's body, the front chest, lower abdomen, and left shoulder, and the blood was gushing like a spring.
"Medic! Military! Song Yunfei shouted frantically, and Xue Yue slapped him to the ground.
"Don't scream, no one is allowed to say anything about the teacher! Hear no! Xue Yue's face turned white, at this time, if the news of Zhuang Jihua's death came out, the soldiers in front of him had to collapse immediately.
In the midst of the frantic shouting of gunfire, Song Yunfei carried Zhuang Jihua into the infirmary, and the military doctor saw that it was Zhuang Jihua, and immediately bandaged him in a hurry.
"Hurry up!" Song Yunfei was anxious and afraid: "He's not dead, is he?" ”
The military doctor instructed the person to bandage and carefully examined it.
"Not dead." The military doctor said expressionlessly, "But soon." ”
"You fucking bullshit!" Song Yunfei pulled out his pistol and pressed it against the back of the military doctor.
The military doctor unceremoniously reached out to block his arm: "If you want to kill me, he will die." ”
