Section 44 Niuhang Station (14)

Zheng Junyan's analysis convinced Li Junyi and others very much, Li Junyi was ready for the final battle, but Peng Dequan, Liang Hongen and Yang Genghe were embarrassed, and the backlash was often very terrible, and their troops suffered huge casualties, and it was difficult to withstand such a blow.

Even Peng Dequan, a more impulsive and heroic person, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zheng Junyan. Zheng Junyan knew what they were worried about, and sighed softly and said to Li Junyi: "Brigade Commander Li, the main attack is still up to you, and the three brigades will cooperate," he said and glanced at the three of them and added: "The first unit to attack Niuhang Station, I am responsible for requesting Xin Shuai to expand it into a first-class division." Those who capture Zhuang Jihua will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan! ”

The last sentence, Zheng Junyan gritted his teeth, Niuhang Station made him lose face, and Niuhang Station is likely to lead to Sun Chuanfang's complete defeat in Jiangxi.

Zheng Junyan's words made Peng Dequan and the other three people's minds come alive again, everything else is easy to say, expanding to a class A division, that is a huge temptation, as long as the generals of this era have soldiers, isn't there everything.

Peng Dequan calculated carefully, he still has 2,000 people and horses hanging zero, take half of them out to play, and if he gets it, he can really enter the Niuhang station first; Yang Genghe's mind is much more complicated, there are only more than 1,400 people left in his army, and the others are either dead or injured, and they really can't withstand the big consumption, he coldly watched Li Junyi and Peng Dequan's spirits come up, and sneered in his heart, let you fight first, who will kill the deer, let's see.

Yang Genghe looked up, but found that Liang Hongen was looking at him, and suddenly showed a sly smile, he understood that this old fox had the same idea as him.

Several brigade commanders had different minds and were not so coordinated in specific attacks.

Li Junyi and Peng Dequan threw heavy troops into the attack, and Li Junyi discharged three battalions and took turns to attack Yu Chengwan's defensive line; Peng Dequan sent two battalions to fiercely attack Zhuang Jihua's western front; Liang Hongen on the eastern front only sent two companies, and Yang Genghe on the southern front attacked even less, only one company.

Zhuang Jihua didn't care about the enemy's tricks now, so he transferred some manpower from the east and south lines and formed a mobile company, ready to go up at any time to plug the gap.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled, the flames were soaring into the sky, and Li Junyi's wave after wave surged forward, slapping on the position of the second battalion and dissipating; Then there is another wave, and the cycle repeats; Yu Chengwan no longer knew that this was the first time he charged, the casualties on the position were getting bigger and bigger, and a group of grenades that were regarded as a magic weapon to defeat the enemy had been used up, but the enemy's offensive had not weakened at all.

"Kill!" The Heavy rose to the occasion and fired at the enemy with his machine gun in his hand, causing the swarming enemy to fall down, but soon, several bullets whizzing from the opposite side burst into his chest. The secondary shooter pushed his body away, set up a machine gun and continued firing.

There are constantly people dying around them, shells and grenades explode left and right in front of them from time to time, as long as they don't die, they will get up from the dirt and continue to fight, no one escapes, no one cares about the life and death of their companions, no one cares about their own life and death, at the moment they just want to kill a few more enemies; Zhuang Jihua's deliberately carved battle spirit was finally successful under the tempering of blood and fire.

"Get on the bayonet!" Yu Chengwan shouted. He drew his command knife and swung it into the air: "Blow the trumpet!" ”

The trumpeter paid no attention to the bullets flying in the air, jumped into the trench, raised his bugle, and the loud trumpet echoed over the position.

"Kill!"

The living soldiers rose from the rubble and rushed towards the enemy with their guns. Several wounded climbed out of the trenches and sat on the edge of the trenches to shoot at the enemy.

"Fire! Fire! Shoot all the shells, shoot them all, cut off the enemy! Zhuang Jihua was in a hurry and had to shoot out all the remaining shells.

The whistling shells smashed into the reinforced enemy group, forming a separation zone between the enemy group and the fierce battle position, and the enemy who lost the reinforcements was completely overwhelmed by the second battalion in terms of momentum and was forced to retreat step by step, but the soldiers of the second battalion were covered in blood, blood-red military uniforms, blood-red faces, blood-red eyes, and bloody bayonets, and roared "Kill!" Madly chasing them, the enemy was frightened and turned from retreat to rout.

The same fierce fighting took place on the Western Front, Dai Anlan's entire company was killed and wounded under Peng Dequan's continuous attack, and when Xue Yue led reinforcements to rush into the position, there were only three people left in the company, and everyone was wounded. Dai Anlan's left arm and right rib were injured, but they still refused to leave, and Xue Yue was furious and forced them to the infirmary.

After a short rest, the enemy's attack was launched again, and Li Junyi gritted his teeth and took out a complete regiment to launch the last attack before the fall.

Unlike last time, Yihe and Liang Hongen also thought that the time had come, and each sent a battalion to strengthen the attack.

The real crisis at the Niuhang station has arrived.

Li Junyi personally supervised the battle, and the tactics were still inherited from the tactics of the afternoon, and the three battalions took turns to attack, but the retreating troops were not allowed to enter the position, but rested on the spot outside the position, and then participated in the next attack.

Yu Chengwan felt that there were more and more enemies, the machine gun in his hand had already turned red, the enemy retreated and came up, up and down, and there were fewer and fewer people on the position, but the enemy's offensive did not slow down at all.

"Battalion commander!" A soldier panted and pointed to the right: "Enemy....man, the enemy has rushed in." ”

Yu Chengwan looked up, the gunfire on the right flank had stopped, and the enemy was swarming into the position, and a death will sprouted in his heart: "Shame on you!" Follow me! ”

As he spoke, he picked up two flower traps and rushed to the right flank position with seven or eight people.

Rushing halfway, a group of enemies collided head-on, Yu Chengwan held a machine gun in his hand, and the two guns in his hand spewed out two fire snakes roaring and swept towards the enemy, and soon the two guns were empty, Yu Chengwan pulled out his command knife and rushed into the enemy group.

Soon after Yu Chengwan led his men away, the left flank was broken through again, and the frontal defenders were outflanked by the enemy and could no longer hold on. The remaining dozen or so people retreated while fighting.

At the same time that the front was in danger, Liu Jing's position in the third battalion was also in danger of being broken through, Liu Jing originally had more than 200 people in his hands, but Zhuang Jihua took away more than 60 people, and the remaining 100 people barely held on to the east.

Liang Hongen only sent one battalion to participate in the attack, but he gave the battalion commander an order that he must rush into the position, otherwise he would be killed if he retreated. The enemy heard that as long as he rushed into the position, the already somewhat frightened soldiers regained some fighting spirit, the battalion commander led the team to repeatedly attack and was crushed, and finally rushed into the position, although he was immediately beaten away by the bayonets of the third battalion, but this also made Liang Hongen discover Liu Jing's weakness, when it was a lack of troops, Liang Hongen immediately sent his guard battalion out.

The warlord's guard battalion is all treasures, well-paid and well-equipped, and they generally do not participate in battles, but once they go to war, these people will become bloodthirsty outlaws.

As soon as Liu Jing saw the white-bladed charge used by the enemy, he knew that today's things could not be good, looking at the more than 80 people on the position, and looking at the black pressure crowd and the bright bayonets rushing over on the opposite side, Liu Jing ordered the herald to go to the reinforcements immediately.

Bloody battles on all sides, anxious on all sides, Zhuang Jihua looked at the full game of dead chess, and was anxious.

"Tell Liu Jing, don't ask for help at every turn, I don't have so many people! He had to resist! Zhuang Jihua's blood rushed to his head, and the front was now collapsed, and the enemy began to attack the station.

"Order the commander of the seventh battalion to resist, Yang Genghe doesn't have many people left, this is his last attack!"

Before the words fell, the battle in front of the station began, and Li Junyi relied on the momentum of victory to launch an attack on the station without stopping, and the guard battalion resisted stubbornly near the station gate.

Liu Jing didn't ask for reinforcements, so he had to grit his teeth and insist, the guard battalion did not react differently, the front came to be beaten, the back kicked away the corpse and then rushed up, and the first charge was killed into the position. Liu Jing swung his knife to meet the battle, and as soon as he jumped out of the trench, a grenade exploded at his feet, and the snowy saber flew into the air.

The battalion commander died, and the soldiers of the third battalion rushed up with red eyes, no howl, no wailing, only the popping of bayonets into the flesh, and the wheezing of scuffles.

Despite the extreme bravery of the soldiers, there were too many enemies, and the soldiers of the third battalion were gradually compressed near the station wall, and a few enemies broke into the station.

When Zhuang Jihua heard that the third battalion had been broken through, he couldn't help but be shocked, and was about to go up with the guard platoon, but Xiong Shouyun grabbed him.

"I'll go! Cultural Revolution, you are the commander-in-chief, I'll go! The guard platoon comes with me! ”

Xiong Shouyun led the guards of all levels of officials and commanders to rush towards the eastern front, and rushed towards the enemy who had just entered the station.

Xiong Shouyun held a shell gun in each hand, and his two guards guarded him, all of them shooting as they rushed, and the enemies who rushed into the station were knocked down in large pieces, and the remaining enemies hid in the corner of the room and opened fire on the guards.

The offensive of the Guards Platoon was quickly suppressed, more enemies rushed in from the breach, and the Guards Platoon gradually became untenable and was forced to retreat.

At this time, remembering the sound of killing from the right side, Xiong Shouyun's heart trembled, he didn't know that it was the troops who came, but when he looked up, it was Dai Anlan who led a group of wounded people to kill the enemy from the flank, and bullets were also sprayed from the windows of the infirmary farther away.

After Dai Anlan was bandaged in the infirmary, he immediately mobilized those wounded who could move back to participate in the battle, all the wounded who could move joined in, and those seriously wounded who could not walk also put their weapons by their sides, sitting or lying down and looking out of the window, the military doctor did not dissuade them, but just watched all this helplessly.

When Liang Hongen entered the station, Dai Anlan led the wounded out of the infirmary, they did not walk fast, every step would bring great pain, but their waists were straight, their steps were firm and steady, they did not hide or hide, and they charged against the enemy's bullets without hesitation.

"For the sake of New China, rush!" Dai Anlan shouted loudly as he walked.

"For New China!" The wounded soldiers shouted in unison, looking resolute and facing death.

The number of wounded soldiers who participated in the attack was not large, less than two hundred, but their huge momentum overwhelmed the enemy, and the enemy camp panicked, and Xiong Shouyun took the opportunity to break through.

"For the sake of New China, rush!" Xiong Shouyun jumped out of his hiding spot and took the lead in charging towards the enemy. The platoon of guards shouted slogans and swarmed up.

The sound of the charge trumpets resounded from the sky, and the five trumpeters struggled to blow the trumpet in front of the platform, Zhuang Jihua led the troops composed of the staff and political department of the division headquarters to rush over, Song Yunfei and dozens of reconnaissance company soldiers also came out, and the soldiers of the cooking squad wearing the white coats of the cooks also shot and killed.

"For New China! Come on! ”

With a thunderous roar, the incoming enemy turned and fled, in fact his number was not much different from that of the charging defenders, but their courage was lost, and their souls were gone.

Xiong Shouyun rushed to the front, they chased out of the station and rushed to the position of the third battalion, the remaining soldiers of the third battalion were still fighting hard, desperately intercepting the enemy's attack, and now they were desperately intercepting the enemy's retreat.

"For New China!" Xiong Shouyun chased after him, and suddenly felt a numbness in his chest, and the strength in his body suddenly disappeared, and his feet were weak and he fell to his knees.

In a short period of more than an hour, Liang Hongen experienced two extremes of great joy and great sorrow, the guard battalion burst into the station and surprised him, and hurriedly reported to Zheng Junyan, but soon after he saw that the guard battalion was driven out like a duck, they quickly escaped from the position, and they didn't even dare to look back.

After solving the crisis on the eastern front, Zhuang Jihua didn't have time to wipe his sweat and immediately transferred to the western front. Peng Dequan's onslaught has put Xue Yue on the front line personally.

The temptation of the first-class division cost Peng Dequan a lot of money, and the first attack in the afternoon cost him more than 300 men, and he redeployed two battalions to the attack before dark.

In the attack that lasted for more than an hour, the commander of the ninth battalion was killed, and the chief of staff Xi Nuping rushed to the front line to take over his command, Peng Dequan's continuous offensive finally worked, his troops rushed to the position of the ninth battalion, Xi Nuping commanded the remaining more than 100 people of the ninth battalion to resist desperately, Xue Yue personally led the last mobile force - half a company into a counterattack, and finally when Zhuang Jihua defeated the enemy on the eastern front, the enemy was pressed down, but the chief of staff Xi Nuping was killed.

"In the morning, the three regiments entered the station, the whole regiment had a total of 1,231 people, and by nightfall, there were still 620 people in the department, Xiong Shouyun, deputy regiment commander, Xi Nuping, chief of staff of the third regiment, Liu Jing, commander of the third battalion, Yu Chengwan, commander of the second battalion, xxx, commander of the seventh battalion, xxx, commander of the ninth battalion, all sacrificed, and the Niuhang station was still in my hands."

That night, Chiang Kai-shek received Zhuang Jihua's report, his hands couldn't help shaking, he rushed to Lu Diping's headquarters overnight, this time he no longer hesitated, he wanted to relieve the siege of Niuhang Station.
