Chapter 106: The End of the Beginning (14)
From the point of view of the Beiyang Army, if it rushes to a distance of less than 30 meters from the enemy, the Beiyang Army can basically be sure of its victory, and "winning with courage" is not a joke. Historically, even though the Beiyang Army had been divided and disintegrated, during the Northern Expedition, Ye Ting's independent regiment fought fierce and cruel hand-to-hand combat with the Beiyang Army at Dingsi Bridge and other important places before finally winning the victory. After the 2nd Northern Expedition of the Communist Party, which was cleared after 412 in history, the army under the command of Jiang Guangtou could not even defeat the Beiyang Army.
Jin Yunpeng watched the tide-like Beiyang Army rush to the position of the People's Party, and his brows were already furrowed. Putting down the binoculars, Jin Yunpeng turned to the Beiyang generals who were watching the battle beside him. Originally, Jin Yunpeng didn't believe that just a few thin barbed wires could stop the pace of the Beiyang Army's charge, and everything that happened now verified Jin Yunpeng's idea.
There was finally movement on the side of the "Tutu Tutu" People's Party. Jin Yunpeng hurriedly grabbed the binoculars and looked at the position, only to see that the firing ports of several pillboxes began to spit out long tongues of fire. The shooting was not aimed at the entire front of the Beiyang Army at all, but at a few breaches in the iron net, and a large number of Beiyang soldiers crowded into those breaches.
Of course, the soldiers of the Beiyang Army refused to bother to completely tear down the barbed wire, not to mention that the wooden stakes were buried so deep that they could not be cut off by shaking their hands and kicking them, and even the sapper shovels were slapping. As for the barbed wire, it is even more troublesome, if you catch it high, you will be stabbed, the bayonet cuts the barbed wire constantly, and the sapper shovel is not easy to cut. Even if you break one with great effort, it is not worth mentioning a dozen barbed wires.
Even though the Beiyang Army, which was blocked by the barbed wire, wanted to fulfill the bounty promise and try to destroy the barbed wire, the people who followed behind began to push and shove, which made several unstable Beiyang Army pounce on the barbed wire, and then caused violent screams and hysterical scolding.
Faced with such a situation, the easiest way is to rush directly through the broken barbed wire gap, and even if the officers still try to maintain the formation, the whole charging crowd has instinctively advanced towards the barbed wire gap, gathering large groups of people at a dozen points. Not only was the crowd crowded, but the original command system was also completely chaotic.
At this moment, in the bunker, which had been silent, the heavy machine gun began to roar. The firing ports of these pillboxes were less than 50 meters away from the crowd of the Beiyang Army, which was almost equivalent to the muzzle of the gun against the chest of the Beiyang Army and began to shoot. The bullet penetrates the body with a huge kinetic energy, cuts the blood vessels, and shatters the bones, but it is still full of energy. After passing through the flesh of the soldier in front, he continued his journey of destroying the human body by burrowing into the body of the Beiyang Army behind.
Although I couldn't see the blood splashing, I couldn't see the bullets tearing open the hard skull of the person, and how high Bai Huahua's brain flew, I couldn't even hear the dying screams of the Beiyang officers and soldiers. However, Jin Yunpeng, who was watching the battle from behind, could see that the Beiyang Army was cut down by bullets like wheat. Just a moment after the BJP's heavy machine guns began to roar, a number of small black dots suddenly appeared on the ground, and it was the BJP soldiers hiding in the trenches who joined the fire.
Not long after the rifle and machine gun fire continued, the People's Party's artillery also began to fire, and the shells flew into the crowd of the Beiyang Army, who had been confused by the sudden fierce and extremely efficient killing, and harvested the lives of the Beiyang Army with a higher killing efficiency of a single shot.
Jin Yunpeng was already stupid, the Beiyang Army, which was attacking like a tide not long ago, had become the target of killing in the blink of an eye, and those uncomfortable-looking barbed wire fences were now finally showing the ferocity of a demon. Under the blow of intertwined fire, the Beiyang Army, which began to flee in all directions, was completely trapped by barbed wire. Some of them were squeezed into the barbed wire by their companions and immediately began to bounce hard, and the struggle was fruitless, and the hapless soldiers were hung on the barbed wire.
Jin Yunpeng had seen the Sixth Army present a short section of barbed wire, and on the thick wire, sharp iron thorns "bloomed" like flowers. I don't know how those iron thorns that are so hard that they can't be easily bent are firmly wrapped around the three strands of iron wire that serve as a support, anyway, they are all tied together, but they can't let the clumps of iron thorns wrapped around the wire slide. Seeing the Beiyang Army hanging on the barbed wire and writhing, Jin Yunpeng remembered the appearance of the iron thorns, he felt that the roots of his teeth were sore, and there was a cold breath on his back. You can feel the pain just by imagining it.
The Beiyang Army could no longer maintain the offensive under such a fierce multiple blow, and they did not know where to start, so they tried to escape. Except for the unfortunate ones who were forced into the barbed wire and hung on it, the escape route of the survivors was still the gap in the barbed wire. The People's Party's firepower pursued the line that the Beiyang Army was forced to take, and fired fiercely. Layers of corpses piled up on the road. Only those Beiyang Army, who were frightened and began to flee along the passage in the middle of the barbed wire, temporarily survived. However, they soon discovered that there was also an obstacle between the two rows of barbed wire to cut off the passage. Like a rat walking into a dead end, the Beiyang Army was stunned, not knowing whether to find a way to continue moving forward or return the same way.
The riflemen of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not give them a chance to try, and for almost stationary targets, the rifle accumulation exerted great power, and soon piles of corpses were piled up in front of the cul-de-sac.
The massacre lasted less than twenty minutes, and except for the Beiyang Army, which was at the end, had time to run back, the Beiyang officers and soldiers who rushed ahead were unable to escape from this death trap. The barbed wire fence was filled with dead or helpless Beiyang Army soldiers.
Jin Yunpeng's mind was in chaos, in this case, he even subconsciously estimated the number of Beiyang Army soldiers who fled back, in the first wave of attack, two battalions with a total of 2,000 troops were invested, and only less than 300 people could escape. Nearly ninety percent of the soldiers lost their lives within 20 minutes, and the BJP's position remained impregnable. From beginning to end, Jin Yunpeng couldn't even see any People's Party soldiers exposed to his telescope.
It turns out that the loss of a brigade of soldiers in a day is by no means an absurd joke. Jin Yunpeng's whole person was about to petrify. His reason wanted to admit this fact, but his sensibility could not accept what was happening anyway.
As if he wanted to save Jin Yunpeng from this terrifying realm, and then throw Jin Yunpeng into a deeper abyss. The herald had already run over, and he shouted in a mournful voice: "Report! Mr. Jin, Jinan is lost! ”
It took less than two days for the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to conquer Jinan, and the troops who attacked the Jinan stronghold of the Beiyang Army in makeup were easily successful, and the Beiyang Army did not expect that the large army of the People's Party would be able to cross the mountains and directly attack the city of Jinan behind the layers of checkpoints.
During the night attack, the Beiyang Army collapsed, and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army chased after the defeated Beiyang Army and quickly broke through the outer defense line of Jinan. By the 17th, the West Group attacked and occupied Kuang Lizhuang, Shuangshantou, Changqing and other strongholds, and forced the front line of Lashan; The East Group captured key points such as Maoling Mountain and Yanchi Mountain, the barrier in the east of the city, and went straight to the outer city.
On the morning of the 17th, the Western Group cut off all the external channels of the Beiyang Army. At the same time, the city walls were stormed, and the defenders were caught off guard, and the outer city walls were captured by the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. However, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army did not carry much artillery, and engineering equipment was insufficient. The inner city of Jinan is 8 to 12 meters high, the bottom is 10 to 11 meters wide, the top is 8 to 9 meters wide, the Beiyang Army and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army carried out a tragic hand-to-hand battle at the head of the city, relying on the counterattack of more than 30,000 Beiyang army dogs jumping over the wall in the city, the Beiyang Army actually temporarily held the inner city wall of Jinan.
At dawn on the 18th, the BJP intelligence system suddenly attacked the enemy forces in the inner city and set fire to them. The siege corps seized the fighter plane, combined with the outside and the outside, and mobilized the second division of the 50th Army of the reserve to join the Western Group operation, and finally opened the gap, and all units fought bloody battles and continued to assault. The 73rd Regiment of the 50th Army broke through into the inner city from the southeast corner of the city at 9 o'clock on the 18th; The 109th Regiment of the 38th Army advanced from the southwest corner of the city before dawn. The troops swarmed in and finally broke through the enemy's defenses,
After the war, the 73rd and 109th regiments were awarded the honorary titles of "Jinan First Regiment" and "Jinan Second Regiment" by the Central Military Commission. Immediately, all the units quickly attacked in depth, and fought fiercely until the evening of the 18th, completely annihilating the defenders of the inner city, and Jinan, known as the "Spring City", was liberated. The Jinan garrison absconded in disguise and was captured by the militia.
Pu Guanshui was always worried about the situation of the Qingdao Campaign, and the current situation was better than imagined, the Beiyang Army 200,000 people attacked Qingdao in separate ways, and were completely blocked in front of the outermost defense line of Qingdao, and the attack for several days was always without a size. Under such a situation, Pu Guanshui immediately sent a telegram to the Military Commission of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, requesting the implementation of the strategy of encircling and annihilating the Beiyang Army in the next step.
This time, the Central Military Commission did not give clear instructions, and Chen Ke only sent one sentence to Pu Guanshui, "Therefore, the victorious army wins first and then seeks battle, and the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory." This is a quote from the Art of War, to the effect that an army that can win a battle is first invincible, and then goes to battle the enemy and wins. The defeated army attacked first and then tried to win the battle.
