Chapter 220: Bloody Battle on the White Battlefield!
"These are all left over from the previous retreat of the Reading Power Mixed Division!"
Cai Yi glanced at those weapons and ammunition, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Wang Hengyue has taken great pains, our army's ammunition supply is insufficient, and these are enough for us to fight for a while." ”
"But it's also an uphill battle." Chief of the General Staff of the First Army of the Protectorate Luo Peijin said.
Cai Yi smiled indifferently: "No matter how hard it is, you have to fight!" ”
His voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, and Luo Peijin said worriedly: "Commander-in-chief, you are too tired during this time, so let's take a rest." ”
"How can I have time to rest now!" Cai Ye cleared his throat: "Order, Tian Zhonggu Battalion sticks to the white sand field, and without my order, you are not allowed to take a step back!" ”
"Yes!"
"Order, Liu Guowei's engineer company, garrison Cookpot Mountain!"
"Yes!"
"The rest of the departments, led by me personally, took advantage of Luzhou and went around to the back of Beiyang to fight!"
"Yes!"
Cai Yi glanced at his beloved generals Tian Zhonggu and Liu Guowei: "I will leave two more battalions in Yibin, remember, you must stick to this place to the death!" Also, I have already given an order to the battalions of Jin Handing and Li Wenhan who stayed in Yibin, and this battle will definitely deal a major blow to the enemy! ”
"Yes!"
On January 26, 1915, Cai Ye entered Yibin, leaving three battalions, one sapper, and another artillery company for defense, and he personally led the main force to find the decisive battle in Beiyang!
After learning that Wang Hengyue actually took the initiative to abandon Yibin and turned to protect [***] for defense, Chen Eun was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Feng Yuxiang, who was defeated, to regroup, give up attacking Neijiang, and march quickly to Yibin.
In order to successfully capture Yibin, Chen Eun offered a reward of 400,000 yuan, in order to be able to succeed in the first battle!
Maybe whether it is Cai Yi or Chen Eun, they actually see Wang Hengyue's intention, to make both sides exhausted, both sides are defeated, and then sit back to take advantage of the fisherman, but neither side has a way, and the decisive battle must be fought as soon as possible!
Wang Hengyue and his elite Reading Power Hybrid Division, like a pack of wolves that had been hungry for a long time, were patiently waiting for the moment to deliver the most fatal blow to the enemy
On the 29th, Feng Yuxiang led the main force of the 16th mixed brigade to Yibin Baishachang!
Feng Yuxiang, who suffered a big loss in Li Zhuang and almost died in the horse's legs, vented all his anger on the opposite Baisha field.
In all fairness, Feng Yuxiang's brigade still has a very strong combat effectiveness.
The brigade had one artillery battalion, two companies of horses, one company of machine guns, and sufficient ammunition.
But unfortunately, Feng Yuxiang met Cai Yi!
Cai Yi, this unborn famous general, even if he is not in Yibin at the moment, he has left a clever plan that is enough to defeat Feng Yuxiang!
On the 29th, Feng Yuxiang ordered the whole brigade to attack.
The white sand field was drowned in the flames of war
A large number of soldiers of the Beiyang 16th Brigade, under the cover of artillery fire, launched an attack on Baishachang in dense form.
Machine guns and cannons roared "suddenly", drowning the battlefield into a hustle and bustle.
The cavalry let out a roar of "lotus", and rushed towards the white sand field like a madman.
Tian Zhonggu commanded his brothers to respond calmly, and in the face of the tsunami-like attack of Beiyang Mountain, they behaved so calmly.
The cavalry rushed up, but the soldiers did not shoot people, but stared at them.
The horses let out a scream, and then the knights fell mercilessly from their horses.
The only machine gun is also doing its best to support the soldiers!
The Beiyang Army attacked fiercely, but the protection [***] was also like a rock.
It must be here for a day, this is the death order given by Tian Zhonggu to the whole battalion before the war!
An order is an order, especially for soldiers.
No one spoke, there were no slogans, each brother just calmly and calmly pulled the trigger, calmly and calmly shot the enemies who rushed up one by one.
Both sides were furious, and one by one they were crazy and poured out bullets, hoping to wipe out all the enemies on the opposite side at once under their own guns!
Longtou Mountain.
This is an important point on the flank of Pak Sha Chang.
A platoon of guards [***] soldiers stood here, desperately blocking the enemy's attack several times more numerous than his own.
Mu Chengguang calmly commanded his brothers, he must hold on here, even if only the last person is left, he will die on this battlefield!
A large group of Beiyang soldiers rushed up.
"Bomb! Bomb! ”
With Mu Chengguang's roar, more than a dozen bombs were raised, and the soldiers threw them out with all their might.
"Boom" A series of explosions shook the ground and shook the mountains.
The Beiyang soldiers fell, but it was shocking, but the ones behind were still rushing up without fear of death.
The combat effectiveness of the Beiyang soldiers is not blown out. They always maintained a tight formation, suppressed each other with tight firepower, and then tried to advance little by little.
Every time you take a step forward, you get one step closer to victory!
This kind of attack also surprised the guards on Longtou Mountain, who had really never seen a soldier who was still unmoved under such a blow.
In fact, this is the army that Yuan Shikai relies on to dominate the world, and Yuan Shikai has invested countless efforts in it, and they can be called the most elite troops in China!
And this is also a very important factor why Wang Hengyue is unwilling to fight head-on with Beiyang. Although he was sure of winning, he was not willing to pay too much price.
And now, the defenders of Longtou Mountain have to face a challenge from this elite!
One by one, the brothers fell, and under the blow of the intensive fire of the Beiyang Army, the defenders on Longtou Mountain became fewer and fewer.
Mu Chengguang glanced to the side, and his heart was dripping blood. It's only been a long time, and more than half of the platoon has already died!
"Brothers, fight, fight with these people!"
The brethren remained silent and did their best to fulfill their duties as soldiers.
Blood is spilled on the battlefield, this is the glory of a soldier!
"Xiaohai!"
Suddenly, Mu Chengguang screamed heartbreakingly.
He saw his younger brother Xiaohai shot in the chest, and he was looking at him in pain there.
Looking at his brother, Xiao Hai cracked his mouth and smiled, and when he smiled, his mouth full of blood spurted out.
"Brother, I'm not going to do it, give me that bomb"
Mu Chengguang trembled and put a bomb in Xiao Hai's hand.
"Brother, Mom depends on you to take care of it" Xiao Hai was still smiling there, and then lit the bomb in his hand: "Brother, push me down." ”
Mu Chengguang was stunned, stunned, suddenly closed his eyes and pushed his own brother down.
"Ahh
When that explosion sounded, Mu Chengguang let out a heart-rending cry.
"Fight, fight, brothers, fight!"
Mu Chengguang is crazy and desperate!
He pushed his brother down with his own eyes, and watched his brother die in front of him!
Myself, what kind of brother is this!
"Xiaohai, Xiaohai!"
While shedding tears and shouting his brother's name loudly, Mu Chengguang's whole person fell into a state of complete madness.
With a "boom", Mu Chengguang was flipped to the side.
Groggily crawling out of the dirt, Mu Chengguang shook his head, trying his best to keep himself awake, but when he looked to the side, the whole person was stunned.
It's gone, and there is no brother on the battlefield except for himself.
Looking down, Mu Chengguang suddenly smiled. He saw that countless enemies had rushed forward.
Mu Chengguang picked up his rifle, put on the bayonet, then stood up and said loudly:
"All of them, bayonets!"
The whole platoon of brothers is here, yes, the whole platoon of brothers is there!
Everyone is here, and so is Xiaohai
The Beiyang soldiers had already rushed up, and Mu Chengguang smiled contemptuously:
"All of them, protect the country and ask Yuan, kill!"
All of them, protect the country and ask for Yuan, kill!
Longtou Mountain was lost, and then, another defensive stronghold against the Mother River Cliff also fell.
The successive loss of two important places put the defenders of Baishachang in an extremely unfavorable position.
On the 31st, Tian Zhonggu's battalion began to retreat and abandon the Baishachang position.
Feng Yuxiang's feet stood on the white sand field.
Although his own 16th Brigade also paid a heavy price, he was victorious after all!
"Send electricity to General Chengwu!" Feng Yuxiang looked a little proud: "On the 30th of the month, our army fought hard to capture Longtou Mountain and defeat the enemy at the Muhe Cliff, so we captured the white sand field, killed more than 300 enemy rebels, and seven platoon commanders, and our army was killed."
In this telegram, Feng Yuxiang even thought that he had killed Tian Zhonggu.
Victory, it seems, is already beckoning to Feng Yuxiang.
However, a new counterattack has quietly begun.
Since the battle of Baishachang had not yet broken out, Cai Ye accurately predicted that Feng Yuxiang would definitely do his best to attack Baishachang at all costs, so as to directly threaten Yibin. The defense of White Battlefield will be very difficult.
And now, the progress of the battle situation is exactly the same as Cai Ye thought. Feng Yuxiang occupied Baishachang.
Although Tian Zhonggu suffered a lot of losses in Baishachang, the pre-war expectations had already arrived, and they greatly hindered Feng Yuxiang's advance.
When Cai Ye learned the news of the loss of Baishachang, instead of being a little annoyed, he said in a hoarse voice: "It can be said to be a miracle for two days, and now the big thing has been done!" ”
Cai knew very well that the battle of Baishachang was actually just a decoy, in order to lure the enemy into the bait, and everything that happened now was all in his design.
On the 31st, the troops of the two battalions quietly moved towards the two flanks of Feng Yuxiang's division in Baishachang, while Tian Zhonggu's department put on a posture of defending Yibin and quietly waited for Feng Yuxiang's troops.
Cai Yi, this outstanding generation of famous generals, has won steadily since the day he left Yibin, and since the day he left Yibin, he has dug a big hole for Feng Yuxiang.
The real war begins only at this moment!
