Chapter 564: Annihilation

The snow stopped in the middle of the night and changed to a biting northwesterly wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBy the time dawn came, the sky was exceptionally clear. The bright sunlight puts a pair of golden armor on the silver-covered Guanzhong world, and the first sunny day after the snow is a good weather for embracing Meiji, drinking wine, and eating yokan. If you are in the capital, you can make an appointment with three or five confidants, and enjoy the scenery and chant poetry in the suburbs, which is a very popular wild interest nowadays.

But at this time, this beautiful scenery was destroyed by blood and killing, and the guns roared, shouting and screaming, destroying all the artistic conception. Zhao Guanhou looked at the two beauties beside him, looked at the red jade noodles of the two of them, felt quite guilty, and ordered: "You two go back to the carriage to warm up, otherwise you will go back to the county seat of Huaxian County, it is too cold here." Wait a while for the snow to melt, it will be colder. ”

"It's not cold, and when I'm at home, colder days than this pass by. At that time, neither of us had this good mink coat to wear, didn't we carry it too? I'm not that squeamish, you fight well, leave me alone. Su Hanzhi smiled, with a good demeanor.

Cuiyu doesn't have this relationship that starts from the end of the world, but she also has something to say, "I'm your secretary, how can I leave you." It's okay, it's just a little cold, I can stand it. The brothers on the front line, who are colder than me, have they not endured? I still have a hand stove in my hand, it's not cold at all, can you touch it? ”

"Unexpectedly, the tenacity of the First Army exceeded our imagination. Obviously it was already a turtle in an urn, but it lasted all night and couldn't take it down, but it impressed me. The Jingxia Demon alone is enough to reach the last regiment. ”

In the distance, the signal corps rushed over to report, "Zhang Feng's fifth division has attacked our army, and the outpost has made contact with my He Zong's company headquarters." ”

Another signal soldier also rushed from afar, "Our army encountered Guo Jianbu, it was Bai Lang's Fuhan army, the offensive momentum was very fierce, and Brigade Commander Zhang asked the marshal for support. ”

"Support? Zhang Zongyao's brigade and regiment, what support do you want, resist me, dare to take a step back, and immediately engage in military law. ”

Ryanstein pointed to the map on the table, "Zhang Feng's five divisions are nearly 20,000 people, and the number of Guo Jian's troops is difficult to estimate, calculated as 20,000 people, this is an encirclement, a battle against the encirclement." If we don't break down the well quickly, we will face twice as many sieges as the enemy. ”

"I believe in my chief of staff, even if we have twice as many enemies, we can win. Huaxian has already arrived in our hands, and there is no reason why we can't eat the lone army in front of us. Last night's night was helpful for both of us, and now it's time to see the real thing. Inform Bao Guichen on the front line that if you want to be an official, you will sell me the strength and show some real skills. ”

The night was also very unfavorable for the movement of the Lu army, and with heavy snowfall, heavy artillery could not be transported. Now the Lu army is using two-pounder light artillery. The advantage of these guns is that they are fast and flexible, and the disadvantage is that they are too powerful. Coupled with the deep snow, it is difficult for the shells to form jump killing, and they can only rely on inertia to kill, and the gains are limited. The anxious artillerymen had already taken the risk of pushing the artillery to the front line and killing the civilian troops on the opposite side with shotguns.

Bao Guichen also knew that he was not good enough in this battle, so he finally snatched the main attack task from Shang Quan, but he was delayed overnight and failed to win. Of course, there are factors such as snow and slippery roads, and the troops are not conducive to command at night, but no matter how many reasons, glue is glue.

He exhaled out of white air, held a knife in his hand, and shouted: "Look at how many troops there are, all mobilize for me, five silver dollars each, five silver dollars!" Fix them for me! ”

After dawn, the swordsmen finally knew who they were fighting against. The mountains are full of soldiers in Beiyang military uniforms. The five-color flags were all over the mountains, and the ambush was not successful, but it was besieged.

When Jingxia Demon arranged the ambush, he decided that the Beiyang Army was not familiar with the geography and could only take the official road. But they didn't want to, they were so clear about the path in Guanzhong, and they went around their back and side, but they formed a counter-encirclement of themselves.

This net is very sparse, and it doesn't seem difficult to break out at all. However, as soon as he left his position and could not go far, he would be fiercely attacked by the ambush soldiers of the Lu army. The two breakthrough teams have suffered great losses, and with the dawn, each other's actions can be seen clearly, and the difficulty of breaking through is even higher.

For the People's Army, the situation became even worse without the barrier of the night. First of all, the troops did not have a radio station, and the communication relied entirely on cavalry orders, and at this time the news was no longer available. Secondly, there is the deadly cold.

The Beiyang soldiers' cotton clothes, cotton shoes, and cotton hats were far less affected than those of the people's army. A cold snap overnight caused a large number of soldiers of the People's Army to suffer frostbite to varying degrees. Some of the soldiers' hands were glued to the metal, and when they were separated, they were blurred with flesh and blood. There are also people whose fingers are frozen and stiffened, and they fall from their hands alive and become wasted. Such attrition has seriously affected the morale and combat strength of the people's army.

Moreover, it is the cold that causes the soldiers to be stiff and deformed, and the reloading speed is much slower than that of the Beiyang soldiers. Seeing the infantry of Beiyang, lined up in a phalanx, in the sound of the snare drums, pressed towards their own ranks. On his side, he could only release his guns sparsely, and he couldn't defeat a few people. But the rows of guns in Beiyang are causing huge damage in the ranks of their own troops.

While the five-color flag was being displayed, another team came up with bayonets, which were the two battalions urgently mobilized by Bao Guichen. Relying on firepower, a gap was opened, and then it was rushed in. Wang Zhenwu had already sent troops to block it, and these swordsmen had no guns, so they only relied on cold weapons to meet the enemy. But their will to fight was extremely tenacious, and their desperate spirit was full, and the people in the front row were knocked down by bullets, and the second row still grabbed the weapons in their hands as if they didn't see it, and pounced on them, followed by the third row......

After paying the price of several lives, a spear finally pierced the Beiyang soldiers. The Beiyang soldier who was stabbed down, and before his companions could rescue him, a swordsman went up to snatch his body, peeled off the bloody cotton clothes and put them on his body.

Of course, such behavior is dangerous on the battlefield, and it is often knocked to the ground by bullets just halfway through. His companions would then drag his body and put it on his body, along with the clothes of the Beiyang soldiers.

Bullets and even dry food have become less important than clothes. The civilian army that cannot control the battlefield, the price of such capture, is a casualty of casualties. But no one cares about this anymore, and if you don't have clothes to wear, you will freeze to death. In comparison, being beaten to death is not too bad.

But the courage of this team is still admirable, one after another, fighting to the death. Two battalions of commandos, not so much blocked, were frightened. Relying on this kind of desperate strength, the Shaanxi army withstood the attack of the two battalions of infantry with rudimentary weapons and formed a confrontation with them.

Wang Zhenwu came to the Jingxia Demon and gave a military salute. "Commander, the brothers are running out of ammunition, and we have to think of a way to break through." His tone was flat, as if he was talking about food and clothing, what the weather was like, and so on.

"This circumference, I'm afraid it's not so easy to break out. The Beiyang soldiers are determined to eat our first army. Before, he put fake news, saying that he was going to pick up Guo Jian, but in fact, Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended to be Pei Gong, and we were fooled. He's going to defeat us first. Now, the only hope is to persevere, and there is still a glimmer of hope until the reinforcements of Zhang and Guo come up. Otherwise, I will have to recommend Xuanyuan with my blood. ”

Jing Xia Mo smiled bitterly twice, "There are traitors in our team, and the three-way joint attack and ambush plan were leaked to Beiyang. The identity of this traitor is very high, because there are only a handful of people who know about this plan. In this, no matter who is a mole, it makes me feel cold. These people should be the backbone of the uprising, they actually betrayed Ge Ming, the power of **** is too strong. ”

"Then the commander should find a way to kill him, find out who is the spy, and ask for his head! I can protect you and kill you, these Beiyang soldiers can't stop me! ”

"The price is total annihilation." Jing Xia Mo said mercilessly: "I have practiced leg skills since I was a child, and if I want to escape, I will naturally escape quickly." But I have fled, why should I let the brothers fight, I am the guts, as soon as I leave, the army will collapse immediately, then I can't stand the brothers of the 3rd and 5th Route Army. Now we are in a very disadvantageous position, but it is not hopeless, tell the brethren, withstand it. Hold out for an hour, and our friendly forces will come. There should be a combination of inside and outside, and there is hope. ”

Zhao Guanhou also put the gold-shelled pocket watch in his hand back, "Waste!" After such a long time, I still can't eat the Jingxia Demon, it seems that I can only do it myself. Hanzhi, Cuiyu, you two go back to the car. Inform Mei Yao that it's time for her mounted infantry regiment to attack. ”

Reinstein shook his head, "You should stay in the command position, it's someone else's business to charge." ”

"It's enough to have your brother in command, and now the First Army relies on a breath. This breath broke him up, and there was nothing. Compared with the command, the people's army is far inferior to our army, but now they are piled together and cannot be killed for a while. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not, but when I go to the front, it's useful. ”

Sun Meiyao's mounted infantry has not been in battle, and the soldiers wear leather gloves and thick cotton clothes, although it is cold, but it is far better than the situation of the people's army. Sun Meiyao herself is also red from the cold, but she is very energetic. As soon as he heard the order, he was overjoyed and said, "It's finally our turn!" Brethren, prepare! ”

"The handsome man is here! The handsome man is here! ”

Zhao Guanhou's flag bearer was the Zhou Gui recruited by Northern Jiangsu, he held the big flag and followed closely by Zhao Guanhou's side, as if those appreciative and excited long live voices were shouted to himself. Hold your head high, and you will be honored.

The banner was waving in the wind, and Zhao Ziqi stretched his muscles and bones in the wind, like a vicious tiger that had untied its shackles together, ordering his subordinates to attack the prey.

In such weather, Bao Guichen actually felt a little hot, took off his military hat and threw it away, and raised his command knife, "Everyone, follow me." We can't let the big marshal catch the enemy before us. Die, also give me death in the people's army array, all of them, rush with me! ”

The offensive of the Beiyang Army reached its peak in an instant, first the Baozi flag moved forward, and then it was driven, and the flags of the entire front line changed. The Beiyang soldiers began to attack the ranks of the people's army. The artillery again put bayonets on the artillery, and the artillery pushed to the front line, raining shotguns on the civilian army.

Jingxia Demon also dropped the binoculars, "They can't hold it anymore, now is the time to be brave, everyone come with me, charge!" ”

The First Army was not defeated by the momentum of the Beiyang Army, but began to launch a counter-attack on the Beiyang Army with the Tic-tac-toe Banner. The tic-tac-toe flag collided with the five-color flag, and the earthy yellow trouser jacket was mixed with the blue military uniform. The chaotic footsteps have trampled the winter snow scene, a little bright red, and embellished with silver mountains and rivers.

The courage of the people's army was not a little cowardly because of hunger and cold, they were people who were hungry and cold, desperately trying to survive. The harsh environment has long been accustomed to. Heaven and earth are going to kill me, so I can only rely on the knife in my hand to seek a way to live from heaven and earth.

The people in the front row even took the initiative to puff out their chests and meet the guns and bullets of the Beiyang soldiers, just to fight for a chance for the people behind. The neat people's army did not give the Beiyang soldiers a chance to exert their firepower, so they rushed in, forming a white-knuckle battle.

The commander had given way to courage at this time, and the bayonet had become the most effective means of communication. Relying on their numbers and courage, the People's Army was in a close match with the Bao Brigade on the premise that it was in an unfavorable situation in all aspects.

Bao Guichen's department was cut off by the people's army because it rushed too fast, and the two companies of his department fell into the siege of the people's army. After three rows of guns, they were forced to fall into a white-knuckle battle. The bayonet and the shuttle dart competed, the command knife and the ghost head knife competed, and one after another fresh lives turned into cold corpses.

Military boots and straw sandals advance and retreat from each other, military uniforms and cloth clothes are turned into pieces of rags by the blade, flying in the wind.

Bao Guichen's flag bearer has changed two, and the third person is simply Bao Guichen's guard captain, he was stabbed twice, covered in blood, but he still did not retreat. Bao Guichen himself was also injured, but now he can't take care of it, and the command knife in his hand slashed two people in a row, but was stabbed by a third person and cut off the command knife. He had no weapon in his hand, so he could only stagger back, while his opponent pressed forward step by step, swinging his sword and attacking.

At that moment, Bao Guichen already felt that death was beckoning to him, and a major general and brigade commander actually died in the hands of a bandit, he was really unwilling......

Bang!

A stray bullet grazed the base of the ear, and then, the ghost head knife fell to the ground. Bao Guichen didn't care who saved him, first picked up the ghost head knife, and then rushed forward. After overthrowing the two of them in a row, he found that the people's army, which was still imposing just now, suddenly lost its courage and began to retreat in a hurry. The soldiers on the front line also became powerless in the attack, and began to look behind in a hurry.

He is a battle-hardened general, so naturally he will not give up this opportunity, shouting, the troops have launched a counterattack against the people's army. The ranks of the Nationalist Army collapsed, and a large number of Nationalist troops began to flee and even surrender with their hands raised. Bao Guichen didn't know why, he just passively advanced, and in the process of advancing, he only listened to the people's army on the opposite side, as if they were shouting something. I listened attentively for a long time before I vaguely understood

"The commander-in-chief is dead, the commander-in-chief is dead......"

In the distance, he had already seen the banner of Zhao Zi, like an iron axe, splitting the waves, killing the people's army in pieces, and the troops were coming towards him. When Bao Guichen saw the banner, he had no taste in his heart, and this credit belonged to Lu Jun after all. (To be continued.) )
