Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Early Morning Raid
With the independent division, Zhou Hunyuan's main force was surrounded in the steep area. Xue Yue, who was far away in Guiyang, seemed to be a little worried, and what made him even more angry was that the Guizhou Army Reorganization Division, Yang Fengyin violated the support order.
Although they arrived at Qiqing as scheduled to join Zhou Hunyuan's troops, except for the guns and ammunition they carried, the troops of more than 6,000 people did not carry any food supplies. Such reinforcements will only bring a burden to Zhou Hunyuan.
Thinking of the airdrop materials that had been prepared, the Qianjun army finally ordered to drop less weapons and ammunition and more food. In a remote place like Steep Kling, it is very difficult for the troops to supply on the spot.
It really can't be done, and it can only make two more trips for the Air Force transport unit. In any case, Xue Yue hoped that Zhou Hunyuan could hold out in the steep area for a few more days. As long as they can hold there, the independent division will not be able to escape their encirclement.
It's just that what he didn't know at all was that when Guiyang's air force had not yet taken off, nearly 500 uninvited guests wearing the uniforms of the Central Army came outside the town of Qiqing, which was just dawning. These people are the reconnaissance battalion of the independent division that gets up early in the morning.
Looking at the patrol team guarding in front, He Zhengdao, who personally led the reconnaissance battalion to action, beckoned behind him: "To the east, start now, clear the patrol team that has entered the front of the town, it's best to scratch your tongue!" ”
'Yes, Commander! ’
For this kind of thing of touching the whistle and grabbing the tongue, Li Xiangdong is already familiar with it. Not long after, an elite reconnaissance team touched the patrol detachment of the Central Army in front.
The first moment an officer and soldier who joins the reconnaissance battalion is not to learn combat skills, but to learn the combat sign language peculiar to the reconnaissance battalion. As for these sign languages, they were naturally taught to them by He Zhengdao himself.
During the operation, there is no need to speak, and the corresponding orders are known to the operatives with just a few gestures. Such an operation made the fighters of each reconnaissance battalion feel very fresh and mysterious.
With the captain of the action team, the raised hand tightened. A scout armed with a single crossbow shoots crossbow arrows at the enemy in charge at almost the same time. The leader of the squad threw the patrol soldier who was walking in the front to the ground.
The sudden attack made the patrol soldiers who fell to the ground look stunned and frightened. Especially when he saw his companion behind him, a dark crossbow arrow was inserted into his head and throat, and he felt that all his strength had been drained.
After covering the captive in his mouth and quickly dragging him into the grass. A squad pretending to be a patrol was equally quick to drag all the bodies that had been shot into the dense grass, and soon impersonated them to continue patrolling.
Many soldiers who have newly joined the reconnaissance battalion also feel that the veterans of these reconnaissance battalions have a clean and neat method of killing. This period of combat really made them feel that they were really lucky to be able to join the reconnaissance battalion.
The captive who was dragged to He Zhengdao's side said softly with frightened legs at the moment: "Spare your life!" I don't want to die! ”
Looking at the captives who were scared out of tears, He Zhengdao said fiercely with fierce eyes: "Shut up!" If you dare to be verbose, I will kill you now! ”
One sentence made the captive shut up instantly. And the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion who were hiding in the grass also felt that the quality of these soldiers of the Central Army did not seem to be as strong as they imagined!
'Now, I don't need to introduce you to yourself!' Explain what you know, 1510 clearly. If you dare to forget half of the thing, I promise that next year today will be your memorial day. ’
I said, I said! As long as I know, I'll say it all! ’
After a while, the captive really told He Zhengdao everything he knew, as he had promised. Confirming that the other party really finished talking about what he knew, He Zhengdao directly gave the other party a hand knife.
He turned his head and said, "Find a tree, tie him up, and gag him!" Wait until the battle is over, and then deal with him! ”
With He Zhengdao's order, the unconscious prisoner was quickly dragged away and tied up by the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion. According to the prisoners' confessions, He Zhengdao began to issue combat missions to the four company commanders of the reconnaissance battalion.
The reconnaissance battalion that has infiltrated the town, the next thing to do is to carry out the operation of the center's flowering. As long as the reconnaissance battalion takes action and the central army that is holding on to the steep ridge is thrown into chaos, the three main regiments that are ready for a general attack will be surrounded on three sides.
Looking up at the sky, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Brothers, this battle must be fast!" Wait for the next and second and follow me. The submachine guns of the remaining two companies were all concentrated in the hands of the first and second companies.
Next, the third and fourth companies began to raid the defenders of the town. Remember, attack the Qianjun resting in the town first. What you have to do is to completely mess up the town and create an opportunity for us to raid Zhou Hunyuan's headquarters. ”
'Yes, Commander! ’
'Action! ’
The order to accompany the operation was given, and the patrol on the road to the town was also dealt with by the clearance team of the reconnaissance battalion. After He Zhengdao and his party began to act separately, the attack soon began.
The reconnaissance company, which was equipped with mortars, looked at the quiet barracks in front of them and immediately launched a surprise shelling. I don't want to kill many people, I just want to make this town completely chaotic.
'Boom, boom! ’
The deafening explosion made all the town defenders who were still resting also completely wake up. As for the reorganized division of the Guizhou Army, which was still resting, it was completely stunned by this sudden artillery bombardment.
'The Red Army has come in! Run! ’
As this sound spread, the Qianjun army became like a headless fly, and turned into a group of wild horses that had broken away. Just thinking about leaving this barracks full of artillery. Many people fled without even having time to put on their uniforms.
Also at this time, the barracks of the Central Army in the town were also subjected to artillery bombardment from the beginning. Looking at the completely chaotic town, He Zhengdao gestured and said, "Brothers, it's time for us to appear!" ”
In this chaotic situation, the two reconnaissance companies led by He Zhengdao raided Zhou Hunyuan's headquarters at a very fast speed. For these people wearing the same military uniform, many of the rebels who could not react were killed.
At this time, many Guizhou troops who escaped from the barracks heard someone shouting: "The Central Army has no food and wants to kill us to save food." Fight with them! Otherwise, we will also be dead! ”
'It's the Red Army coming in!' Someone has snuck in! ’
This piece of news broke out from time to time, so that these town defenders, who were already in a mess, didn't know what was going on. What they know is that the town has been attacked, and someone has infiltrated the town.
Zhou Hunyuan, who was awakened by the sound of the explosion, his first reaction was bad. He knew very well that there must be small elite units of the Red Army infiltrating the town to cause destruction and chaos. To ensure safety, the chaos in the town must be restored.
One by one, the assembled units of the Central Army began to look around for the Red Army that had mixed in. It's just that in the mess, they don't know at all that those people are mixed in, and those people are their own people.
Especially for those Qianjun who escaped from the barracks, looking at the Central Army that strictly ordered them to escape, they were somewhat frightened. But everyone knows that if they escape into the nearby mountains, they may be able to save their lives.
In view of this situation, these Qianjun troops, who had picked up a life in the shelling, naturally wanted to escape. And those Central Army, which is responsible for bomb suppression, naturally hopes that they will accept reorganization. Under the opposition between the two sides, a fierce battle soon ensued.
As a result, it was natural to see that these Qianjun troops did not listen to the command, and even began to attack them. Not to be outdone, the Central Army, which had been suppressed by these bullets, launched a counterattack. In this way, the whole town was beaten into a pot of porridge.
Looking at this situation, He Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "Shoot a signal flare!" Order the 123rd Regiment to officially launch a general attack! ”
Three flares were fired into the sky in a remote corner of the town. The troops of the separate division, which had already been prepared, immediately launched an attack on the defenders of the defensive positions in the front. Especially a mass, the shells fired were even more violent.
Last night, the defenders of the position, who had been tormented by a ball of artillery fire all night, looked at the overwhelming shells, and had lost much determination to resist. Many officers and soldiers know that it is very difficult to hold their positions!
The officers and men of the regiment, who had been recuperating for a long time, launched a real attack on the defensive positions that had been feinted for a day yesterday after the artillery fire began to extend. With little resistance, the regiment successfully attacked the position.
'Good! Order a regiment and speed up the pursuit! Follow behind the rout and fight your way into the steep basket! ’
Seeing that one regiment charged one by one, and took the defensive position of the Central Army, Wang Tianlin also felt a little incredible. But remembering last night, the artillery bombardment and feint attacks launched every other hour, the other side was afraid that they would also be tortured miserably.
When the news that the front line position was taken by the Red Army came back, Zhou Hunyuan was also very angry and said: "How did you do it? A regiment guarding a position was so easy for the Red Army to occupy. What kind of battle is this? ”
It's a pity that he didn't wait for Zhou Hunyuan to make corresponding remedies. Outside his command post, fierce gunfire was already ringing. Listening to the gunshots that were getting closer and closer, all the officers in the command felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the guard battalion commander in charge of the guard battalion in charge of the division headquarters rushed in with an embarrassed face and said, "Military seat, quickly retreat!" An elite assault unit of the Red Army is already rushing to our headquarters. The opponent's firepower is too fierce, and the brothers can't stop it! ”
There is a surprise attack inside, and a strong attack outside!
Under such an unfavorable situation, Zhou Hunyuan also began to feel that he was afraid that his division would not be able to keep it!
