Section 5: Counterattack (6)
Song Yunfei was shocked, could it be that there was something wrong with Zhao Hanjie? Or was Pharmacist Guo discovered? After thinking about it, I didn't hear the gunshots, could it be....Is something happening inside the Dian army? There was a tingling pain in his back, Song Yunfei felt the gaze from the players, he was motionless, and now he couldn't be impulsive, and the enemy situation changed. After a while, the chattering in the village slowly subsided. It seems that there is indeed a problem within the Dian army, but what is this problem?
Song Yunfei did not expect that in the hour he was waiting, there was a major change in occupation, Situ Fei finally arrived at the battlefield at twelve o'clock in the night with more than 3,500 people, Situ Fei did not immediately attack, he let the troops rest for an hour, during this hour, many people arrived, and the reconnaissance company began to enter for pre-war reconnaissance.
At two o'clock, the ferocious artillery fire smashed on Long Yucang's position, Situ Fei's soldiers fought into Long Yucang's position in two ways, Long Yucang's attention was all on the frontal tension Hui, completely unprepared for this soldier who came in from the flank, and suddenly there was chaos, Situ Fei rushed to his headquarters outside the village at once, Long Yucang's guards fought back desperately, and only then did he snatch him out, but he couldn't stand still, Queen Cang retreated, ran outside the village, and heard gunfire everywhere, mountains, fields, villages, and everywhere were on fire, The troops were completely chaotic, and Long Yucang began to give orders, looking for troops to block and counterattack, but none of the people who went out came back, and the escort team that chased him killed him. Long Yucang had no choice, the guards hugged him and fled south, he struggled a few times, "Brigade, it's all messed up, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood!" Long Yucang sighed, knowing that it was over, he stopped struggling, and ran towards the Jinsha River with the troops.
As soon as the cannon sound on Long Yucang's side sounded, Zhang Lihui and An Enpu all knew, Zhang Lihui was naturally ecstatic, An Enpu was shocked, and when the gunfire gradually went away, he suddenly felt like a dead heart, and after sitting for a while, he called Sun Du, the enemy reinforcements had arrived, and Long Yucang was defeated.
Sun Du received the telegram and immediately convened a meeting and decided to give up the rescue and retreat immediately, but he made a mistake at this time, he sent someone to inform the nearby troops, and at the same time sent a telegram to Long Yun to ask for instructions; After Long Yun received the telegram, he resolutely disagreed to give up An Enpu, and strictly ordered Sun Du to rescue An Enpu and retreat together, and at the same time comforted her, he had ordered the security regiments in northern Yunnan and western Yunnan to come to support, and at the same time sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, asking for a truce.
Sun Du had no choice but to order to stop the retreat, he turned around the headquarters a few times, discussed with the chief of staff, and decided to take the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, but at this moment there was a sound of hard objects falling to the ground at the door, Sun Du frowned, and shouted impatiently: "What's the matter?" Be quiet! ”
The sound outside the house disappeared immediately, the door was pushed open, and under the light, several soldiers rushed into the house surrounded by a heroic soldier, and Sun Du's head suddenly became big when he saw it.
"Yo, it's really Commander Sun." Song Yunfei smiled, and he really caught a big fish in the net: "Commander Sun, I am Major Song Yunfei, the commander of the special forces of the escort team, and you have been captured." ”
Sun Du was stunned for a while before muttering, "Why did you come in?" ”
"Just your small village, to be honest, we really didn't pay attention to it," Song Yunfei smiled faintly: "It looks tight, but in fact, there are loopholes everywhere, broken everywhere, broken everywhere, your guards have been peaceful for too long." ”
Song Yunfei said and walked in front of Sun Du: "Mr. Sun, if you lose, Long Yun will also lose, so there is no need to bleed anymore." ”
Sun Du sighed and sat down in his chair.
"What do you say? He caught Sun Du? Zhuang Jihua's voice was full of surprise and disbelief, he was called up shortly after he got into bed, and he was in a panic, and rushed to the war room to get such good news.
Du Yuming played the newspaper and said with a smile: "Otherwise, if we make a bet, if you lose, you will lose your maid to my eldest son as a wife." ”
"What do you want to do good," Zhuang Jihua's eyes widened: "There can be pies in the sky, if you dare, just say it in front of Xiaomei and Xiaoxiu." ”
Du Yuming grinned when he heard this, these two women couldn't be provoked, and said in front of them, that Mei Youlan really dared to slap him twice, and Xiaoxiu could damage him to the East China Sea with one mouth.
"It's strange to say, this Xiaoxiu gave birth to a baby by herself, but she likes your maid, don't you want to hold a daughter-in-law?"
"Hey, I said Du Guangting, when did you learn to be like a girl, just say something out of tune, I have to ask Huiqing's younger brothers and sisters when I go back." Zhuang Jihua quickly glanced at the telegram at a glance, he put down the telegram and walked to the map, pondered carefully for a while and then said with a wry smile: "This Yunfei has made a great achievement, but it has also disrupted our plan, as soon as Sun Du is captured, Long Yun will definitely order his brigades to retreat, but our main force is still two days away, and Lan Fubo can't count on it." It seems that operational deployments will have to be adjusted. ”
"I think I'll eat An Enpu first, and then press towards Kyaukpyeongdu together." Du Yuming said.
"It's peaceful, it's not exciting at all," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "My idea is to annihilate the main force of the Yunnan army north of the Jinsha River." ”
"Then ,...." Du Yuming looked at the map carefully, it is undeniable that Song Yunfei eliminated Sun Du's headquarters and knocked out the battlefield center of the Dian army, but all units of the Dian army can contact Long Yun, and Long Yun can still command them to retreat. And the reinforcements will reach a maximum of 4,000 people, and there is no battlefield advantage at all. Unless....
Before Du Yuming could speak, Zhuang Jihua pointed to the map and said: "Judging from the battle some time ago, our army's combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the Dian army, you see, let Situ Fei lead the team to attack, Kyaukping Ferry, and cut off the enemy's retreat,..., right, Yunfei, this kid captured Sun Du's radio password?" ”
Du Yuming was excited, and immediately instructed the staff officer next to him: "Send a power generation immediately, and ask them if the radio password is complete." ”
The staff officer turned around and ran out, of course he knew the importance of this surname.
"You see, Situ Fei conquered Kyaukpingdu and cut off the retreat of the Yunnan army, and the Dian army north of the Jinsha River immediately panicked, not to mention the decline in combat effectiveness, and they must go to Sun Du, and they don't know that Sun Du has been captured, so we can give them orders in the name of Sun Du."
"No, there are two brigades at the ferry, you can transfer them out of part." Du Yuming said: "As long as Situ Fei takes the ferry, they will immediately be in chaos, at least for one day, and there is one day left, how can Situ Fei be able to withstand one day." ”
"I'm afraid it's more than one day," Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "The follow-up troops have been out of touch with them for two days. ”
"Then it's all the more important to take the ferry first and close this gate." Du Yuming said resolutely, Zhuang Jihua suddenly smiled after thinking about it, he dared to use a brigade to gamble, and now Situ Fei has a reinforced brigade, doesn't he dare to gamble.
"Okay, just do as you say." Zhuang Jihua said that the staff officer came in to report, Song Yunfei called back, and the radio password was intact.
Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming looked at each other and smiled, it was a smug smile after the fox successfully stole it.
Before dawn, Long Yucang, who was still trying to gather his troops, received an order from Sun Du to go north to continue to relieve An Enpu.
Long Yucang was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, the reinforcements of the escort team had arrived, and he actually ordered him to go north, he decided to disobey, he called Sun Du back, the troops were being gathered, and now they can't go north.
But then Sun Du sent him a telegram that he was gathering troops on the spot and ready to go north at any time. Gong Shunbi, who was in the 7th Brigade at the ferry, received a telegram from Sun Du, ordering him to leave one regiment to guard the ferry and lead the other two regiments to the north and move closer to the headquarters, but Gong Shunbi said that there was a regiment in the army to protect traffic on the road from Kyaukpyeong to Luquan, and only one regiment could mobilize troops, Sun Du immediately told him that the situation at the front was critical, and he immediately led the 13th Regiment to the north.
Gong Shunbi had no choice, so he immediately gathered his troops and gave the ferry to Duan Cankui, the commander of the 14th Regiment, as if telling him to be careful, pay special attention to the safety of the pontoon bridge, and the few escorts who escaped are likely to come back to blow up the bridge again, Duan Cankui nodded cautiously in agreement.
After Gong Shunbi left, Duan Cankui immediately adjusted the deployment, it was impossible for a regiment to set up a position according to the frame of a brigade, he used one battalion to set up a position opposite the ferry, another battalion on the side of the ferry, and the third battalion on the mountains on the left and right sides.
Soon after the adjustment of his subordinates, the battalion commander from the mountain reported that a large group of men and horses appeared in the distance, and they were hurrying towards the ferry, Duan Cankui felt strange in his heart, who would come at this time? Could it be that the troops in front have retreated? At this moment, the commander of the third battalion reported that the troops on the opposite side were moving quickly and did not look like the blue-green color of our army from the uniform.
Duan Cankui's brain suddenly exploded, how could the escort team appear here, and what happened to the situation on the front line? Didn't Brigade Commander Gong just lead his troops up? Even if you lose, someone should report it.
Duan Cankui gave the order to prepare for battle while thinking wildly, and the ferry suddenly became alarmed, and everyone entered the combat post and waited for it.
Situ Fei's vanguard noticed that the enemy was already prepared, and they stopped more than a thousand meters away from Duan Cankui's defensive line, and then a company launched a tentative attack on the hill, and their attack was hit by the heavy fire from the hill, and the company quickly retreated.
Situ Fei immediately organized a second attack, but this time he did not intend to test anything, but adopted a very bold tactic, attacking the two hills with two battalions of troops, and one regiment of troops directly from the middle to the ferry.
As soon as the battle began, mortars of various calibers bombarded the hill violently, two gray figures swooped down on the hill with the artillery fire, and soon rushed up the mountainside, the cannon stopped, the hill poured a rain of bullets, and several gray shadows in front fell, but the gray shadows behind continued to rush forward, the submachine guns in their hands spewed out fierce flames, and the sharpshooters of the support detachment behind shot the machine guns on the mountain with a few shots, and the gray shadows poured into the position.
Situ Fei slapped his thigh, and then waved his hand, and the trumpeter blew the trumpet, and a regiment of troops rushed towards the ferry along the gap in the mountain. Situ Fei raised his flag and telescope to continue to observe the top of the mountain, and the enemy on the top of the mountain seemed to be unable to support it anymore and retreated one after another. The situation on the other hill was slightly worse, and the artillery fire hit the cover side. However, Situ Fei was not worried, the situation on the battlefield had already been decided, and the enemy's fall was a matter of time.
Zhuang Jihua received a telegram from Situ Fei in the afternoon, and the door was closed. But the generals of the Yunnan army north of the Jinsha River didn't know the news, Gong Shunbi didn't leave the radio station for Duan Cankui when he left, but followed the brigade headquarters according to his habit, and Duan Cankui couldn't report it to his superiors.
So this period of time became the director time of Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming, he successively appeared in various departments of the Yunnan army, asking them to hold their positions and not to attack the escort for the time being, this order is obviously inconsistent with the current situation, and the first thing that is strange is An Enpu.
An Enpu called to inquire, Zhuang Jihua's reply was that the enemy's current situation was unknown, the various departments were temporarily holding their positions, and Chairman Long was negotiating with Nanjing.
Wait until before dark, Gong Shunbi arrived at Dahua Bridge, only to find that the situation is not right, only the guard battalion is tied in a few rooms in Dahua Bridge, Sun Du has been captured, Gong Shunbi sweats on his head, Sun Du's radio station is all destroyed, the password is lost, he immediately reported to Long Yun, Long Yun was shocked in Kunming, he felt for the first time that his main force was afraid to be lost north of the Jinsha River.
Long Yun showed his decisiveness, he immediately ordered to abandon An Enpu's brigade, ordered Lu Daoyuan, Gong Shunbi, Long Yucang and other troops to break through, in the order to Lu Daoyuan and others, he clearly told them that Kyaukpingdu may be lost, do not go to Kyaukpingdu, should go to the southwest of Hongmen, this order Long Yun concealed from An Enpu.
"Long Yun is running away." Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming said almost simultaneously when they received Long Yun's telegram to the ministries.
"Forward the telegram to Wang Guobin, ordering him to send an envoy to surrender An Enpu, and tell him that as long as he lays down his arms, we will not be responsible for the past and ensure the safety of the officers and soldiers of the department."
"Order Fan Hanjie to prepare for the pursuit, order Situ Fei, leave a reinforced battalion to hold Kyaukpingdu, and the rest of the troops will intercept Hongmendu."
An Enpu looked at the telegram in his hand almost in despair, which was handed to him by the officer who came from the other side, he put down the telegram in his hand and looked at the young officer coldly: "How do I know if this is true or false?" ”
The young officer said lightly: "True or false, General An must have judged the answer, General Sun Du has been captured by us, all your passwords have been mastered by us, and you have no time to change the passwords, so we know all the telegrams from Long Yun and the front line." ”
An Enpu was silent, if Lu Daoyuan and they retreated according to the order, it would mean that his five or six thousand people had been abandoned, and it was pointless to fight any longer, An Enpu couldn't help but feel resentment towards Long Yun in his heart, he had followed you for so many years, even if you wanted to abandon us for the sake of the overall situation, you should clearly tell us how he would explain to the brothers like this.
"General An, don't hesitate any longer, this time Long Yun has already lost, Yunnan, we will decide," the officer said solemnly: "Captain Zhuang has set off from Dechang and is rushing to Huili, he asked me to tell you that he appreciates your troops and your command ability, if you lay down your arms, the country and Yunnan will need you in the future." ”
An Enpu smiled bitterly: "The general of the defeated army, how can he speak bravely, how dare he expect a lot," he looked up at the young officer and asked, "May I ask your surname." ”
"Colonel Detachment Leader, Wang Guobin."
An Enpu was a little surprised, he looked at Wang Guobin blankly, and said half-loudly: "Good courage, with subordinates like you, no wonder Zhuang Jihua can win." ”
Wang Guobin shook his head and said: "You are wrong, it should be that we can have a boss like Chief Zhuang to make us blessed, let's put it this way, I was just a muddy little soldier back then, and it was Chief Zhuang who made me understand why I want to fight, how to fight," Speaking of this, he turned to the officers and soldiers in the room and said loudly: "Why do soldiers want to fight? The only reason for soldiers to go to the battlefield is for peace, in order not to fight, why is there no end to the war in our country now, that is, all local forces require reading power, and they all want to be the king of the mountain, so we are in constant war, this war is like this, Liu Wenhui wants to meddle in northern Yunnan, in turn, Long Yun doesn't want to meddle in Sichuan, so they fight back and forth, this is not supposed to do anything with the escort team, but you connive at the Yi people in northern Yunnan, kidnap the people of our work team, and kill the soldiers of the escort team, So all the responsibility for being involved should be borne by Long Yun. Chief Zhuang repeatedly sent telegrams to Chairman Long, asking for reconciliation and asking him to release the captured personnel and materials, but he just refused to agree and continued to attack, and we had to rise up in self-defense. ”
"It's better to say than to sing," An Enpu said coldly, "Don't you also want Yunnan?" ”
"We want the Yunnan Council to deploy only such a few people to take care of it?" Wang Guobin asked rhetorically, An Enpu was dumbfounded, and Wang Guobin then asked: "Our reinforcements are coming from Yucheng, if we want Yunnan, I'm afraid you would have been defeated a long time ago, can you hold out until now?" ”
But An Enpu and other officers were still a little unhappy, Wang Guobin continued: "The huge difference in the combat effectiveness of your two armies, I think General An understands it very well in his heart, to tell the truth, in this battle of Huili, our escort team only invested more than 11,000 people, and the rest have not yet arrived." The others are Liu Yuantang and Yang Yinglong, with a total strength of less than 20,000 troops. We still have about 20,000 people on our way, and we have at most half a day to reach the battlefield in Huili. ”
An Enpu's face sank, but his heart was shocked, there were more than 30,000 people in the Huili area, and the actual strength of the escort team that really fought them was only a few thousand. The surrounding soldiers looked even more uneasy, and the sound of gunfire the night before had already announced that the last gate for their breakthrough had been closed, and no one wanted to fight such a desperate battle.
"General An, it is hopeless for you to break through, I sincerely hope that you can think about your subordinates and stop making unnecessary sacrifices." Wang Guobin said sincerely.
An Enpu sighed again, he looked left and right, his eyes seemed to be asking for advice, and it seemed to be saying goodbye, but everyone was avoiding his gaze. Wang Guobin didn't say anything anymore, he had already made it very clear, and he was only waiting for An Enpu's words about where to go.
After a long time, An Enpu said slowly with difficulty: "Okay, I agree." ”
